The bachelor's words made Zhao Qiang stunned for half a minute, his eyes full of doubts and confusion: Where could the emperor be held hostage by me?
The bachelor expected that Zhao Qiang would have such an expression, and said unhurriedly: "The emperor is in the hands of the general..." Turning to the Meridian Gate, he said calmly: "Yin is the prince of the East Palace, the crown prince of the country. Now that the emperor has passed away, the prince
He should be enthroned as emperor!"
"Establish Yin as the new emperor?!"
Zhao Qiang was taken aback, and subconsciously categorically denied it, saying angrily: "I have taken it as my own duty to overthrow the Manchus. I finally broke Beijing and brought down his Aixinjueluo family. If I can't kill them all with hatred, how can I establish a Tatar state again?"
The son is the emperor! Kuang Jingshi has been destroyed, and the world will be in chaos. It is the time for me to clear up the world and restore my Han family. If this damn Tatar emperor comes again, why should I tie my head to the waist of my trousers?
Why does he love the Xinjieluo family? You bastard, what nonsense did you come up with!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After waiting for a long time, he heard this bad idea. If he hadn't seen the bachelor's ruthlessness when he killed Manguan just now, Zhao Qiang would have thought that this guy was here as an "undercover" and wanted to lend his own hand to stabilize Kangxi.
The country is about to be in chaos. [] Besides, Yin, a bastard, is worthy of being the emperor! A coward who is afraid of death is much worse than him!
The bachelor was not frightened by Zhao Qiang, but said calmly: "General, please allow me to show my strength to the general. Besides, it's not too late to say whether this is possible or not!"
"snort!"
Zhao Qiang gave him a cold look and resisted the urge to slap him: "Say!"
"Making Prince Yin the new king will bring two great benefits to the general!"
The bachelor took a deep breath and knew that success or failure all depended on this. Life and death also depended on his own mouth. There was no room for sloppiness. He then cautiously continued: "The first advantage is that the general can survive the immediate crisis. Once the prince ascends the throne,
, the general issued an edict to the world in the name of the Queen Mother and the new emperor, clearly stating to the subjects that the late emperor was dead and that the Qing troops outside the Pass were rebels. In this way, the name of righteousness rests with the general!"
Zhao Qiang was moved when he heard that the bachelor used the word "former emperor" very seriously, and secretly thought that if Yin was really established as the new king and guarded Shanhaiguan for a month or two, people would know the truth about whether Kangxi was alive or dead.
In the past two months, I can indeed accomplish a lot in Beijing, and there is no need to escape back outside the customs. When the situation is unclear, the Qing troops everywhere will not dare to act rashly, otherwise they will be "rebellion"
Not King Qin! With righteousness in hand, the court in hand, and the emperor in hand, how can I still be a bandit army? Isn't it just the upright "Master Wang"!
Hehe, if Kangxi knew that he was declared the "first emperor" by his son, and that the army he brought outside the pass was declared "rebels", he would definitely go crazy. Thinking of this, Zhao Qiang's face tightened with anger unconsciously.
Panasonic also had a clear smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Zhao Qiang's heart move, the scholar showed a thoughtful look, and was secretly happy, and further said: "The second advantage is that after the new king ascends the throne, the general will send capable generals with the imperial edict to the capital, direct control over various places, and seize the power of the Green Camp troops.
He dismissed the local governor, took advantage of the unknown situation, and used his subordinates to gain strength. In the name of the new monarch, he captured the capital and directly controlled the provinces. In this way, the general did not have to worry about King Qin's army, which was about to overwhelm him! He had a chance to breathe.
, big things can be done!”
"It's easy to say. What if the governors refuse to obey the order?" Zhao Qiang asked worriedly. As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he sent people to seize the military power of the local officials.
It's easy for someone to take advantage of you.
The bachelor was not worried at all, and said with a slight smile: "General, don't worry. Once the imperial edict comes, the governors will bow their heads and obey orders. The only thing to worry about is the green camp generals. The best way is to summon them all to Beijing."
Come, kill them all without their knowledge, and then take over their troops. Then something big will happen." After a pause, he added: "The key is the word "quick". If they can smell it,
If there is a rumor, the success will fall short."
"Yes, we must send someone immediately to handle this matter."
Needless to say, Zhao Qiang also knew that he had to quickly send people to take over the green battalions in Gyeonggi and Zhili, and replace the governors of various places with his own people. At least he had to ensure that Gyeonggi and Zhili were under his control, otherwise the danger was still imminent, and Beijing
Cheng's ass couldn't get any hotter.
Determined to obey the bachelor's advice, Zhao Qiang did as he was told. Without hesitation, he made up his mind and asked the bachelor, "What's your name?"
When the bachelor heard this, he felt happy and said hurriedly: "The lower official Yuan Shijie is serving as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He was previously a staff member in Suotang Mansion."
Zhao Qiang nodded lightly and immediately appointed: "Okay, Yuan Shijie, I will now appoint you as the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian and the Minister of Etiquette. You can immediately prepare for me Yin's enthronement ceremony. The sooner the better! In addition," he pointed to those who were still there.
The Han officials, who were afraid of killing people, said to him: "Select some of these people who can be used, and give me the six large and small yamen to enrich them immediately. If there are not enough officials, use all the officials of each yamen. If there are not enough, just use them all."
I will use all the scholars from the Imperial College, Hanlin Academy, and guild halls in the capital. I will have plenty of official positions. As long as they are willing to be used by me, I will give them official positions!"
Then he ordered: "Select another hundred officials for me. You have the staff draft their appointments tonight. At dawn tomorrow, my soldiers will escort them to various places to take over. But remember, these people must
All of them have killed Manchu officials, and all the young ones are in the capital. I have to keep the hostages in order to prevent them from betraying me!"
"I obey your orders!"
Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, Minister of Rites, this was the official position that Suo'etu held during his lifetime. He never thought that he could hold it now! Yuan Shijie was pleasantly surprised, but he was not overwhelmed by the excitement. He was very clear-headed and knew that this high-ranking official was still a painter.
If you really want to eat the pie, you must quickly plan everything for Guan Ning's army and let them gain a foothold in Beijing. Otherwise, when the Qing army comes over, your head will definitely be the first to fall off.
"Without further delay, you go and do it right away. Do it now! Tomorrow will be the day for my new emperor's enthronement. Let's do it together. I don't have so much time! Keep everything simple about etiquette. What's important is that from tomorrow on, the capital and the
All the people in the world must know that Yin is the new emperor and Kangxi is already the previous emperor! Master Yuan, everything is yours!"
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he does is to mourn for the late emperor, but he doesn't know where to start the funeral?" Yuan Shijie was about to go, but he thought of an embarrassing thing. Since Kangxi was dead, it was Daxing.
Emperor, we have to transport the coffin back to the capital. Otherwise, how will the prince ascend the throne?
What time has it been? Still thinking about the coffin of "Emperor Daxing", Zhao Qiang waved his hand impatiently: "Pull a corpse as you like, and go to the palace to find a dragon robe cover. You can drag it to Changping for me tonight and use it tomorrow."
Bring me the cart back to Beijing! Well, the late emperor died in the chaos, and I risked my life to snatch the body back, so don’t worry about it so much, just put a coffin on it! You can do it now for funerals or whatever.
Get ready, tell me what you want, I will do it for you!" After saying that, he waved his hand and called Deqiu, and ordered: "Deqiu, from now on, you will listen to Master Yuan's orders, whatever he asks you to do.
, just do whatever you want, you know!”
"Ah? Listen to him?" Deqiu was startled, but he quickly bowed and obeyed: "Yes, Marshal!"
Yuan Shijie did not waste any time and went to prepare relevant matters, but then he thought of something and hurriedly said: "But the new emperor's ascension to the throne means a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, so there must be a new year's name. Will the general decide on it?"
Zhao Qiang said casually: "Master Yuan is responsible for handling these matters. I have appointed you as a minister with full power. You will be responsible for all matters concerning the new king's ascension to the throne. No matter how big or small, you will make the decision. But one thing is that you have to be quick.
The sooner the better, you know better than I do that the situation I face is very dangerous! If we don’t solve the Green Camp in Gyeonggi and Zhili, I will have a sword hanging over my head!"
"I understand!"
Yuan Shijie nodded, asked no more questions, and confidently went to take the Han officials to do something. After walking a few steps, Zhao Qiang behind him stopped him again, patted his head and said with a smile: "By the way, I
The commander-in-chief has just thought of a good era name. The era name of my new emperor Yin will be Xuantong. Starting tomorrow, the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi will be changed to the first year of Xuantong."
