C1451 Departure Minister (1/2)
Zai Chun was now determined to tie him up with the prime minister, and the young emperor was able to clearly see the situation in the Great Qing Dynasty. Whoever had the money would become the true controller, and those notoriety things that happened in the past would be thrown into the Southern Ocean long ago.
It was absolutely impossible to expect the Eight Flags and the other Eight Flags to give up the power they had. It was also the reason why the conservative factions, which were represented by the Prince Kung, would definitely take control of the new army and the various departments in the imperial court.
Don't think that just because Zai Chun was the emperor they would hand over their power. After being accustomed to seeing the bloody battles in the imperial court, they knew that if they handed over power, there would only be one death. It was on the way back to the capital that Xian Feng and the rest were deceived to the Beijing.
At that time, Yi Nan already had control of all of the capital's garrison troops, as well as the troops under the command of the eight ministers who were protecting Xian Feng's coffin from the back, it was too late to save their master.
Just like that, all the ministers and officials that the Emperor Xian Feng left behind were exterminated. This group of people relied on slaughter to climb to the peak of power, it was not a gentle and refined way of being a gentleman.
In the future, Zai Chun only had two options for taking revenge. The first one was to obediently accept these people's control.
And the second way was to fight tit for tat. Power was to be stolen, peaceful handover was just wishful thinking!
The New Imperial Army of Fujian would have to be expanded, but increasing the scale would require money. Other than his master being able to provide him with military funds, no one else could rely on this Great Qing Dynasty.
Forget about flattering Master, the current Zai Chun, he was even willing to wash Master's feet!
Everyone was smart, including Xiang Ying. They were only mocked a little in their hearts, but they still showed indescribable gratitude on face. For a dignified emperor of the Great Qing to put down her airs and offer incense to a vile old man from the Jin Shang family, with the last word bestowing upon him, was already an enormous favor.
The ceremony was very short, and the offerings were quickly taken away. Wang Huaiyuan looked at the telegraph below and suddenly smiled: ”old shopkeeper is a difficult problem to solve, seems like I will have to leave this matter to His Majesty!”
With that, Wang Huaiyuan handed over the telegram Fan Lian sent over to him. When the little emperor saw that Fan Ru had spoken words of loyalty to the empire right before he died, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
It seems that the luck in the Great Qing is still there, it seems that the people have not given up on me. This Fan Ru is my master's relative, as long as he is willing to come to the Ryukyu, why not make a name for himself? Yet, he still chose to be loyal to the Great Qing Dynasty, and his nephew still wanted to come to the imperial court to be an official. Loyal officials!
Zai Chun was a little excited as he rubbed his hands together, ”Ah … ”It is a pity that we still do not have an emperor as well. If I had taken care of these matters, I would not have said a word. Master, please rest assured that even if we cannot do it now, we will still take care of it in the future. We will not disappoint the old mister!”
Xiao Letian smiled faintly: ”We'll see!”
Zai Chun looked in the direction the Zhiyuan Warship was heading and suddenly asked in surprise: ”Master, where are we going? Why did he go all the way north? Aren't we going back to the Ryukyu? ”
”No, of course we don't go back to the Ryukyu. The Zhiyuan Warship are heading north, we are going to meet a guest!”
”Who?” Zai Chun asked suspiciously.
