C1137 Shocking Secret (1/2)
”Wuwuwu …” ”Don't say anymore, big brother, don't say anymore …” Hearing his father's evaluation of him, Jiu Shuai cried profusely. She carefully thought back on her life, and she realized that it was exactly the same as her father's evaluation of her.
Why did he want to rebel? Did he really want to make his elder brother the emperor and then become a prince himself? Or perhaps it was like the stories of the Northern Song Dynasty, where brothers sat on the Dragon Throne instead?
In reality, it wasn't. Ceng Guoquan was a tiger general and a pretty good politician, but he was definitely not someone who could rule over the land. Just from the fact that he liked to take the lead in everything, it was obvious.
He was familiar with the way to the Residence of Duke Gong in the capital. Tanggu Xiao Letian did business and he, a dignified Jiu Shuai, actually went and had a secret meeting with Xiao Letian, and was even taken advantage of by Xiao Letian in the end.
In the family, he was always encouraging his brother to take another step up, but he was the worst at it. Even the way he led his subordinates showed off his edge.
Southern Hawk North Dragon, how resounding was its name? It was the number one expert in the north, Dragon Lord, and the strongest expert in the south, Old Hawk. In fact, it was pure bullshit. Other than that, the old farmer by Ceng Guofan's side, was able to suppress the eagle and his disciples by himself.
But look at this old farmer, other than Ceng Guofan, no one knew his name. This was a real expert's demeanor.
After all that, it was still Ceng Guofan's father who gave the most appropriate comments. Ol 'Nine was a weirdo to begin with, so the words' less the strange qi 'was too fitting. This kind of person was obviously in the imperial court, but he was always full of the heroic spirit.
Come to think of it, breaking into Jinling did not mean that many people were killed. Why did they have to massacre the entire city? Actually, it was related to Jiu Shuai's character, to vent out his anger! If you kill my family, I will take revenge on your ten families.
Less Qi, these four words were absolutely correct.
was also in his forties, and was considered to be part of the older generation in the ancient times. The little bit of strange feeling in his heart was broken by his brother, and was instantly burned like smoke on a balloon, broken with a bang.
”Big brother, stop it!” Please don't say it... Can't I listen to you? ”However, I have a condition. You must tell me the truth behind it. You must be hiding something from me!”
”I often tried to advise you to take a step forward in the past, but you would always laugh it off and just wave your hand and ignore me …” But today you're so heartless to deal with me, you must be hiding something from me! ”Tell me, why can't I be accepted as a brother for whatever reason?”
The statue-like old man retreated like the wind, and immediately after, the security perimeter outside the study room expanded by fifty meters, and no one could hear what the two brothers inside the study room were saying.
Cough cough cough … Ceng Guofan coughed a few more times before he panted and said, ”Six years ago... A few years ago, an English secret envoy came from Shanghai and brought a secret electric from the British Prime Minister! ”
”It's not Count de Beer, it's not him … But the future successor, Benjamin! ”
”The British have a secret message?” Jiu Shuai couldn't believe his own ears but his brother's expression couldn't be doubted.
”The news that the emissary brought me shocked me. He said that the British Government had reevaluated the situation in East Asia and they believed that the Qing Dynasty was no longer able to take control of the situation in Asia. Not only were they unable to control the momentum of the expansion of the East Russian, they were unable to even control the Subordinate States that Xiao Letian was leading …”
