C1622 The First Spear of the Imperial Party (1/2)
Once a person enters a government office, they are captivated by power and restricted by the interpersonal network. In fact, they don't have much right to choose. Moreover, during the late Qing Dynasty, the struggles between the parties were very brutal. As long as a person entered the game, he would have to choose a force to stand on.
The punishment for traitors was extremely cruel. Losing an official was considered light, while losing one's life would be the worst for the entire family. And the most important thing is, you won't have a good ending even if you become a traitor. The new faction will never use you as a core member.
The officials of the late Qing were more loyal to the factions than to the imperial government, because the imperial government was a battleground formed by all sorts of powers gathering together. If you were loyal to the imperial government, no one would treat you as their own family.
If you have credit, don't even think of getting any benefits. Naturally, countless factions will steal your credit.
You can only survive by being loyal to your faction. With a faction protecting you, even if you are corrupt and have forcefully taken away your woman, there will still be people who will help you get along with them … Until I let you be innocent and safe.
This was a cruel reality, T?pchin had no other choice. He had already boarded Ci Xi's and Yi Xiao's ship, then there was no way to return.
”Brothers …” Don't listen to Hun Chun's nonsense! ”His secret edict was a forgery …” T?pchin roared.
”His Majesty hasn't even gone to the palace in person yet, and he has brought the secret decree? Even if there was a secret decree, His Majesty would never change the rules of the forefathers! ”
”Hun Chun, this dog wants to become a dual general? ”He's dreaming …”
Hun Chun's eyes shrunk as she raised her hand and slapped him. A smack sounded and blood flowed out of the corner of T?pchin's mouth. You are determined to be a traitor! ”You don't even want to listen to the emperor's secret decree anymore?”
”T?pchin, are you stupid? Any general at the third rank or above had the right to request an audience with His Majesty. Although His Majesty did not have a personal relationship, he could still give an order with a paper roll! Do you think that no one here would be able to recognize His Majesty's handwriting? ”
Even if his majesty did not have any kinship with the officials, it did not mean that he did not have any communication with them. Ordinary subjects did not have the nutrition to pay respects, so Zai Chun still had to learn to read. This meant that Zai Chun's handwriting and his personal seal had all been seen by high ranking officials of the third stage and above.
The Black Dragon River Great General was a first grade official. The General Ninguta was a first grade official, so the vice generals under their command all had the authority to pass greetings to the Emperor alone.
Pui … T?pchin spat out the blood in his mouth. What is true? What was fake? So what if the handwriting was real? I also said that your majesty was forced by Xiao Letian to write a secret decree! ”
”Brothers!” Don't listen to Hun Chun! The Emperor had no right to dictate his decree to the officials of the imperial court without being in a personal relationship with the emperor! [1. No, no …] What's more, we have to start a military mutiny. Do you think we are all idiots? ”Double General, I spit …”
Sister Wu heard that this fellow was an unapproachable bronze pea! He angrily rushed forward and pulled up his braid, placing his head on the table, and with a tut, he stabbed the dagger right into T?pchin's eyelids.
”Eight!” Do you really want to die? ”
”Hehehe …” Of course I don't want to die, but it's better for me to die than for my whole family! The generals of Heilongjiang must listen well, they must not board their pirate ship! This was a heinous crime of extermination! The imperial government will not let this bunch of traitors off! ”
They finally understood that it didn't matter whether the so-called secret decree was real or fake, because the empress dowager and prince were the people in power right now. Disregarding the empress dowager and prince, everyone's fates were even worse than Su Shun's fates back then.
If you go with Hun Chun and kill your entire family, you will just die if you resist with all your might.
