Chapter 17 Chapter 17 One Way to Darkness

Rong Qing ran to a hotel early in the morning and drank until the afternoon with the wine jug in his arms before leaving. He staggered all the way along the street, seeing that no one was going well with the people on the street, and they seemed to have enemies with everyone. It seems that I always want to find someone to fight to relieve my hatred.But people all over the street avoid him when they see him, and they can't make trouble if they want to. Last night, he couldn't remember exactly what happened in Prince Rui's mansion.How little Gege was arguing with him, how the prince pinched Yin'er's photo to force her to marry him, he didn't take it to heart, and there was only one thought in his head: he was sorry for Yin'er.To save her life, but to break her heart.No, not long ago, I asked Xiaohui to send her a letter, expressing his determination to wait for her. Fortunately, she is still in the palace, and he has become the son-in-law of Prince Rui. The blue sky, the bright sun, I can't wait for a series of thunder to fall on a sunny day, and smash this noisy market, together with the tall and big Forbidden City, to relieve the hatred.If that was the case, he would be able to take advantage of the chaos of the collapse of heaven and earth, rescue Yin'er from the palace, take her to the end of the world, and leave this ghost place forever

When Rong Qing walked to the door of the house, when the servants saw him coming back, they hurried forward to hold him back as if seeing a savior, saying that the uncle and master had come, accompanied by a large group of guests.The servant found that he had drunk too much, and helped him all the way into the front hall.As soon as he walked into the living room, he found that the living room was full of palace guards. Guard Rong, congratulations!When the guards saw him walk in, they all got up and surrounded him. Same joy, same joy!Rong Qing habitually bowed his hands in front of the crowd, and as soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and waved his arms and said, "What's the matter, what the hell are you all talking about?"

Qing'er, uncle Enhai saw that he looked wrong, knew that he had drunk too much, hurriedly dragged him aside and said in a low voice, aren't these all our brothers from the Qing Dynasty?I heard that you are engaged to Prince Rui's mansion, so you all come to ask for wedding wine! When Rong Qing heard that he was going to drink, he suddenly came to his senses, waved his sleeves and said to the family around him: "Hurry up, go to the big wine tank!"I'll drink with you, that's enough! Qinger, are you drunk?Enhai is in a hurry. Who are you?Rong Qing stared. I am your uncle.

uncle?What is uncle? You bastard, how dare you not even recognize your uncle!The uncle was so angry that his face turned blue, and he stretched out his hand to beat Rong Qing.The guards hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away, and persuaded Enhai, saying that the guard Rong had drunk too much, so don't bother with him.Enhai glared at his nephew, stomped angrily and walked towards the gate.Seeing that Enhai was about to leave, the guards all stepped forward to greet Rong Qing, saying that they would come back another day.Seeing everyone leaving one after another, and no one drinking with him anymore, Rong Qing suddenly felt a sense of anger in his heart, jumped to the door, took out the pistol that the emperor gave him from his waist, and held it high in his hand , Shouting hoarsely: No one is allowed to leave.Whoever walks will be killed!

Looking at the drunk Rong Qing and the black muzzle of the gun in his hand, all the guards were dumbfounded and stood there at a loss.Enhai waved his hands cautiously, and called in a low voice: Rong'er!Ronger! I beat you all to death, and there will be no guards at the gate.Seeing that everyone was terrified, Rong Qing even his second uncle, who usually scolded him the most, changed his expression, he didn't dare to speak loudly, and he felt indescribably proud.He laughed loudly while raising the gun in his hand: Without you people in the palace, whoever wants to come out will come out, and whoever wants to go in will go in!Hahaha

Rong'er, listen to me, put down the gun and say something if you have something to say.Enhai persuaded his nephew, fearing that he would be insane with alcohol, and he would have no eyes when the gun came out, and it would be troublesome if someone was killed.The guards in the palace had all seen the power of pistols, not to mention Rong Qing's eyes were red from drinking, let alone shooting at this moment, he would dare to shoot.The guards huddled together tremblingly, and no one dared to move a step. The emperor rewarded me with a pistol, and the prince rewarded my daughter-in-law.You say, who wants to try my marksmanship?

Everyone shook their hands in fright and stepped back one after another.The second uncle who was standing in front of the crowd was also scared and hid behind the crowd. The more scared the crowd was, the more excited Rong Qing became, holding up the gun in his hand, wobbly pointing at one thing and another.He shouted and jumped excitedly, waved the gun in his hand, and forced a dozen heroes with special skills to look like a group of obedient lambs, feeling unspeakable satisfaction in his heart.right!I should let them go to Rui Wang's house with me, and force the prince and Xiao Gege to withdraw from his marriage and give him back a free life. I don't want any woman in this world except Yin'er, even if she is as beautiful as Xiao Gege. A woman of status.

Walk!You follow me to Prince Rui's Mansion.When he called out, everyone froze there, not knowing what kind of trick he was playing. At this time, Rong's father and Rong's mother, accompanied by his family and girls, ran into the living room in a panic. Rong's father ordered his son to put down the gun sharply, while his mother stood aside Crying and begging him.There was only one thought in Rong Qing's mind, and that was to go to Rui Wang's house and cancel his marriage.So when he saw his parents and family members rushing towards him, he yelled in desperation and fired a gun into the sky.

There was a bang, and everyone stayed there. The sound of the gun was much louder than the Chinese New Year's cannonball, and the power was even more frightening. The bullet hit the roof, and a big hole was exposed in the roof, and a lot of broken wood fell from the shock. And tiles, the whole room smells of sulfur. This bastard has no relatives!The frightened father cursed angrily, but his steps stopped and he didn't dare to take a step forward. He's drunk, don't mess with him.The mother persuaded her husband from the sidelines. When he sobers up, I must hang him up. The second uncle cursed in a low voice.

What did you say?Rong Qing didn't expect Enhai's words to be heard, and he pointed his gun at him. Didn't say anything, said nothing Eunhae hastily denied it. Well, you go first and take everyone to Prince Rui's Mansion.Rong Qing yelled at Enhai. The father stomped his feet in hatred, and the mother cried in fright.Enhai walked helplessly towards the door, and everyone followed him silently. At this time, a person suddenly walked in outside the hall. This person was none other than Rongqing's brother in Chengde, and also his most respected elder brother Yuanliu. Honor!what are you doing?Yuan Liu heard what happened in the hall from the family Ding outside the door, and he was prepared in his heart, rushed in with a stride, and yelled at Rong Qing.

It's none of your business, or you're the first one.Rong Qing pointed his gun at Yuan Liu, obviously not recognizing him. Have you learned how to shoot a gun?Yuan Liu smiled contemptuously, and walked towards his gun. You dodge, I shoot!Rong Qing stared wide-eyed, squeezed his voice and cried out. open it.Yuan Liu approached him step by step, patting his chest, saying that you are my grandson! Rong Qing's finger rested on the trigger of the pistol, everyone was sweating for Yuan Liu, especially En Hai, who knew the temper of his old subordinate, even if Rong Qing fired, he would not take half a step back.Rong Qing was overwhelmed by the imposing manner on the opponent's face, and couldn't help but took one step back, another step.Finally Rong Qing finally recognized the person in front of him as Yuan Liu, his wrist softened, the pistol fell to the ground, and he called out: "Brother, throw yourself into Yuan Liu's arms." Rong Qing didn't wake up until the middle of the night, his head still ached, but his mind was very clear. He heard snoring coming from the room.Throwing up the mosquito net, it was only then that Yuan Liu was lying on the bamboo bed, sleeping naked with his upper body uncovered. Rong Qing picked up the plantain fan, walked to the bamboo bed, sat down beside the bed and drove mosquitoes away for him.While fanning, he thought about what happened in the afternoon, some things he remembered, some things he couldn't remember at all, but Yuan Liu stood in front of his gun and patted his chest, he remembered it clearly.He scolded himself in his heart, he shouldn't have done such a stupid thing, or if he accidentally hurt a good brother like Yuan Liu, it would be too late to regret.He fanned, Yuan Liu suddenly woke up. Honor!Yuan Liuyi turned over and sat up on the cool bed.I wake you up. It's already midnight, I should get up too.Yuanliu has developed a military habit of being energetic as soon as he opens his eyes.He grabbed the pipe next to the bed and chatted with Rong Qing while smoking.It turned out that Rongqing's family wouldn't let him go, and his uncle and Rongqing's father insisted on keeping him for dinner. After dinner, he saw that Rongqing was still awake, so he couldn't bear to call him, but he didn't want to leave either.Because he came to Beijing with the guards this time, he came very mysteriously. He was allowed to leave the barracks because he had a special mission, and no one else was allowed to leave the barracks.The tasks entrusted to him by the superior must be done at night, but he will return to the camp before dawn, so after tonight, it will be very difficult for him to figure it out.So he had dinner at Rong Qing's house in the evening, he went to the place he was supposed to go, did the things he needed to do, and then sneaked back to see if Rong Qing was awake, in order to talk to this brother who had been separated for a few months .After finally waiting for Rong Qing to wake up, he can't sleep anymore. It must be that the daughter-in-law has gone wrong again, right?Yuan Liu took a long drag on his cigarette. Who told you that?Rong Qing said sullenly. You smell like wine!Thinking of a daughter-in-law, go to Qi'er for wine, my brother, he was promoted to an official, but the imperial calendar has not changed.Yuan Liu said with a smile.In fact, he had already heard Rongqing's second uncle Enhai talk about his engagement to Xiao Gege of Rui Wang's family, but he felt that the root of the matter did not lie in this, but in the previous girl, although he did not know the ins and outs of this, But there is one thing that can't be wrong, that is, the woman he misses the most has no fate with him, otherwise he wouldn't be so drunk.I remember the last time in the Chengde brothel, he slept with Miss Ying, got up from the bed, and kicked the other party out of the bed before leaving. Brother, let me go with you, I am no longer an official.Rong Qing waved his hands in frustration, what he said was angry, but more than half of it was the truth, he really found it boring. Come with me?Where are you going?Yuan Liu asked back. Anywhere will do.As long as you leave Beijing city, it's far away. To put it bluntly, your eldest brother has just been transferred to Beijing, and he hasn't broken his sweat yet. Are you also transferred to Beijing?Which battalion are you going to?Rong Qing was surprised and asked the other party. I am moving the ground and not moving the nest, or our Jianrui camp. Is the Jianrui camp all here? No, I drove five hundred miles in two days, and I came here by Chengdela, and my feet were all soaked. What are you doing here?After all, Rong Qing was working in the palace, so he instinctively felt that something was wrong. The above did not say, I am still wondering.Brother, you are well informed, are you going to start a war with the foreign devils?Yuan Liu asked while smoking cigarette ash on the bamboo bed legs. I haven't heard of it.Rong Qing thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and there was no movement at all.The imperial guards in the capital are all there, eating what they should eat, what they should smoke! Think again!Yuan Liu hesitated for a long time, and told Rong Qing about his going to Prince Cheng's mansion at night, the commander asked me to bring a letter, saying that he would hand it over to the prince face to face, and that I was not allowed to wear military uniform, and would not go to the Prince's mansion until dark , tell me, what is the meaning here? Rong Qing immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If you don't start a war with the foreign devils, isn't that making fun of us?It's like a real mess!Yuanliu complained and asked about the affairs in the capital. He heard that the emperor wanted to reorganize us soldiers of the Three Banners into a new army. Royal food.I heard that the empress dowager disagrees with the emperor to do this, and some people say that if the emperor wants to continue to make trouble like this, he has to ask the empress dowager to come out and take charge of the government again Where did you hear that.Rong Qing interrupted the other party. The following are all passed on like this.Yuan Liu slapped the mosquito on his thigh vigorously, and a blood flower bloomed in his palm. To tell you the truth, if the emperor really wants to deduct the monthly payment of the bannerman, it will be unpopular!Think about it, the ancestors of us people, who didn't fight with the first emperor and shed blood, have been fighting from outside the pass to Guangdong and Guangxi, and finally conquered the country, but now it's good, they don't recognize anyone, how chilling! In fact, the monthly silver payment mentioned in Yuan Liu began to be implemented after the Qing soldiers entered the customs. Anyone who is in the banner, no matter Manchurian or Mongolian, as long as they have fought with the emperor, will be raised by the royal family, and will be distributed by a special agency at the end of the month. For more than two hundred years, the number of people has increased, the money has not increased, and the price of goods has increased several times. The money received by each family is only enough to buy food for a day.But this is a kind of status and honor, so I heard that the imperial court will no longer issue silver money, and everyone in the banner has no objection. Even though Yuan Liu was his good brother, Rong Qing still didn't dare to talk about the struggle in the palace, he only advised him not to believe these rumors.The two talked for a while, Yuan Liu looked up at the sky outside the window and said he should go.Since you are here, you have to wait until dawn before leaving.Rong Qing advised him. Can not be done.I told you, the Commander told me to go back before dawn. I'm full of words and haven't told you yet. OK!Yuan Liu smiled and said, keep them all for me, don't compete so much with wine next time! Military orders are like mountains.Rong Qing knew he couldn't keep him, so he sent him out of the house all the way, and sent him half a mile along the dark street, before breaking up with Yuan Liu.On the way back, facing the blowing night wind, his mind became more and more clear-headed. Thinking about what Yuan Liu said just now, many questions came to his mind: Why are so many guards suddenly transferred from Chengde?Why did the commander of the guards send a letter to Prince Gong overnight in Yuanliu? What kind of conspiracy is there? At dawn, I went to my second uncle's house first and told him about the incoming soldiers from Chengde.Upon hearing this, Enhai knew that the matter was of great importance, and asked Rong Qing to report to King Rui immediately, because he was the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department.He rushed to King Rui's mansion, and when he got there, it was already daylight, and he told the eunuch guarding the gate that he had something urgent to see King Rui.He is now the prince's son-in-law, so the eunuch naturally did not dare to neglect him and took him to the back garden.King Rui was standing under the big tree doing Taijiquan. Seeing that Rong Qing came here early in the morning, he thought that he was here to thank Xiao Gege on behalf of his parents for the engagement with Xiao Gege yesterday.In fact, Rong Qing came just in time, if he didn't come, King Rui would have to send someone to call him, and let him do that thing that surprised the world. My lord, something happened outside!Rong Qing waited for the eunuch to leave, and said in a hurry. Hold your breath and speak slowly.King Rui was taken aback for a moment, then whispered, what's the matter? The Jianrui Battalion of the Chengde Guards entered Beijing. I know!King Rui thought something serious happened, so he smiled lightly. You know?Rong Qing stared in surprise. I issued the order, and I transferred the soldiers.Not only the Jianrui Camp came, but also the Shouzi Camp, Haizi Camp and Fuzi Camp. According to my uncle, the emperor doesn't know! Of course he doesn't know, Qing'er, you are not an outsider, so there is no need to hide it from you, the day when you change your top hat is coming soon.King Rui stroked the beard on his chin, with an uncontrollable joy on his chubby round face. My lord, to tell you the truth, I have had enough of being an official now.Rong Qing heard that there was something in the other party's words, so he couldn't ask directly, and pretended to be confused on purpose. Nonsense, officials never have enough time!Hasn't your road just opened? Since I came to Beijing, not to mention that I haven't made any achievements, and I have caused so many disasters, why does the emperor promote me? Not the emperor, but the empress dowager.King Rui puts the last sentence very seriously. Isn't that the same thing?Rong Qing knew that the other party didn't say it casually, he had said this in public in Chengde, but it was not as clear as it is now. One thing, two efforts!The emperor has had enough trouble, it's time to rest. Lord!What do you mean by that?Rong Qing's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Chengde's troop transfer, he immediately realized that something big might happen to the imperial court.Sure enough, King Rui pondered for a moment and told him an extraordinary conspiracy. On the third day of next month, the emperor and the empress dowager went to Tianjin for a military parade, where they announced that the emperor would step down from the stage.King Rui said with a smile on his face, he didn't think he was talking about something dishonorable, let alone connected with any conspiracy.But to Rong Qing, these words were like thunder, and a shudder passed through his whole body, thinking whether the empress dowager or the emperor had the final say in the affairs of the court, isn't this a conspiracy to rebel?Then who will be the emperor?Rong Qing held his nerve, trying his best not to let the other party see the doubts in his heart. Then it depends on who Lafayette looks for. I don't believe it, not at all!My lord, are you telling me a joke?Rong Qing knew that the other party told him about this conspiracy, he must have participated in it, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it in such detail.Thinking of this, his heart shuddered, and he deliberately let go of his voice and laughed, trying to avoid this conspiracy. You see, I am the bodyguard in front of the emperor, and I want to try my loyalty.right? No joke now!King Rui suddenly lowered his face and stared at Rong Qing calmly. He was silent for a long time before he worked his breath, and made a series of clear and deep voices from his chest, I have an important errand for you. When you arrive in Tianjin, you and Your Majesty will never leave you, as long as Lafayette gives an order, you will take off the emperor's hat. What?Rong Qing was dumbfounded for a moment, his tongue twisted around his mouth a few times, and finally he stammered, you want me to take off the emperor's hat? It's not me, it's the empress dowager, who won't be the emperor if you pick up the Nine Dragon Crown! Lord!Why take down the emperor?The empress dowager and him are mothers and daughters, what can't they say at home? Don't put such things in your head.The yellow jacket and the red top all depend on your shivering! Before Rong Qing left Prince Rui's mansion, King Rui's sharp gaze stayed on Rong Qing's slightly blue face for a long time, and then warned him in a stern tone that if the news leaked out, not only him, but also his family members, and even the famous All the maids named Yin'er must die. Rong Qing lowered his head and repeatedly agreed.After leaving Prince Rui's Mansion, he walked all the way to Shenwumen.Along the way, he felt dizzy, as if he drank too much wine yesterday. He couldn't believe it. Usually, King Rui looked like a rough man, and he talked in a long-winded manner, but he couldn't make sense of it. He didn't expect him to be in such a He was so shrewd and decisive in matters, so straightforward. what to do?he asked himself in his heart.I asked no less than a thousand times, but still couldn't find the answer. When he was on duty at Qianqing Gate, he wanted to talk to his uncle several times about what happened in Prince Rui's Mansion, but he never had a chance.I met my second uncle at lunch, but I didn't dare to say a word when the words came to my lips.No, if the wind gets lost, not to mention himself, even the second uncle will have to go to see Lord Yan! Seeing that his eyes were straight and his expression was in a trance, the uncle seemed to have something very serious on his mind, so he hurriedly asked him what was the matter.After calling him Qing'er a few times, he woke up from his contemplation and quickly said that he was fine.Qinger!Why are you so drunk all day long?Enhai asked his nephew.Rong Qing argued again and again, saying that he hadn't been drinking, and he had given up drinking. Who believes you didn't drink?You quit work, go home, get a good night's sleep, and don't go anywhere.Enhai thought that he was still worried about being the son-in-law of King Rui's family, and laughed at him in his heart, thinking that whoever encountered such a beautiful thing could wake up with a smile when sleeping, but he was thinking about Yin'er. I'm fine, really fine. Uncle's heart is like a mirror, I understand which part of your heart is hot and which part is cold.But having said that, at this point, you have already called your father-in-law, so there is nothing else to think about!It's only been a few days, and Rong Qing's face has lost a lot of weight.Looking at his nephew, Enhai was moved by his dedication and sincerity towards Yin'er, thinking that the matter has come to this point, what else can he say. Even though what the second uncle said was different from what Rong Qing was thinking, these words made Rong Qing feel sore.The more he felt that the second uncle loved him, the more he gritted his teeth, not daring to reveal to him the conspiracy about the empress dowager's deposed emperor. After Guangxu learned from Tan Sitong of the Military Aircraft Department that King Rui, King Cheng and others secretly mobilized Chengde guards to Beijing, he was very shocked and very angry.It turned out that Tan Sitong, Kang Youwei, including his teacher Weng Tonghe and Concubine Zhen had reminded him that the ministers who opposed the New Deal headed by King Rui gathered together and went to the Summer Palace to publicly demand Cixi to listen to the government behind the curtain again.This is obviously a very important signal, and he is required to be prepared for it, and if necessary, like the Japanese Emperor Meiji, he will not hesitate to use force to ensure the continuation of the New Deal. Guangxu had many doubts about the use of troops.If you want to use the army, you have to alarm the emperor's father, not to mention the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial. What if you fail to use the army, many people under Cixi have military power. , provoked a civil war, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty be in chaos.If it's not good, I will be kicked down by them.There was news from the Summer Palace that Cixi had reprimanded those ministers who advocated that she come out of the mountain to listen to the government behind a curtain, saying that whoever brought up this matter would be a traitor.Hearing this news, he was a little relieved, and he didn't even consider the use of troops. Now it seems that if he doesn't do it, the other party will do it.In the morning, he summoned Tan Sitong, Lin Xu, Yang Rui and others from the Military Aircraft Department in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss the current situation.It seems that there is only one option for discussing and discussing, and that is to act first.For this reason, he deliberated again and again with Concubine Zhen, who firmly supported him and urgently mobilized Yuan Shikai's new army into Beijing. After Guangxu had lunch, he immediately secretly summoned Rong Qing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Rong Qing asked him to kneel down, Guangxu asked him to get up, and suddenly asked him with a smile: "Rong Qing, are you surprised that I sent you here?" The slave dared not guess.According to the usual practice in the palace, after lunch, the emperor must take a nap, even a short nap.The emperor hastily summoned him at this moment, there must be something important, Rong Qing didn't dare to talk nonsense, but his heart was pounding.Especially thinking of the situation in Prince Rui's Mansion the day before yesterday, I feel even more uneasy. Rong Qing lowered his head, waiting for Emperor Guangxu to speak, he didn't expect that Guangxu didn't say anything important, he just brought up the old story, talking about Rongqing being punished for the lost love poem that day.Rong Qing was puzzled, thinking that it was impossible for the other party to specially summon him for this matter.Guangxu seemed to see his doubts, picked up the note written by Concubine Zhen from the case, and handed it to Rong Qing. The one who saved you is Concubine Zhen!Guangxu said.Rong Qing saw that there were eight words written on the note: People are suitable for use, but generals are hard to find.The slave Xie Zhenfei empress for her great virtue and great kindness!Rong Qing said gratefully, but he struggled nervously in his heart, whether he should report to the emperor about Chengde's arrival of soldiers. But until now, I still don't know if I should save you or not?Guangxu glanced at Rong Qing, and deliberately threw out an ambiguous sentence. In fact, he was weighing in his heart, whether he would be able to handle such a secret and important matter to this young guard.What's more, he was originally recommended by King Rui, and he heard that he was engaged to Xiao Gege from Wang Rui's family, so when Concubine Zhen insisted on using Rongqing, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Rong Qing's life was given by the emperor.If I betray the emperor, I will die without a place to die.Rong Qing heard something in his words, maybe it was just like what Guangxu said when he was given the gun back then, now it's his turn to serve the emperor. is that so?Guangxu paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his tone revealing suspicion.In heaven, if the servant makes a false statement, he will die immediately!Rong Qing knelt down on his knees facing Guangxu, expressing his determination to die for the emperor. I heard that you have recently become the son-in-law of Prince Rui because you have become a noble family?Guangxu stopped in front of Rong Qing, and asked calmly. Back to the emperor.Speaking of the marriage with Little Gege, Rong Qing was immediately indescribably frustrated, and quickly argued that it was Prince Rui's wishful thinking.Rong Qing has another love in his heart, and it is still the same as before, and it will not change because of this! You said there is another love, is it the woman you gave her a poem last time? Rong Qing knelt on the ground, momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer. Don't be afraid, this matter is over.Tell me the truth, just say yes and no.Guangxu watched Rong Qing's expression nervously, he was testing the other party in the way of Concubine Zhen, in order to make his own judgment, whether to use this person or not. Rong Qing blushed and nodded silently. Are you really willing to risk your life for her?Guangxu asked.In fact, this sentence is purely superfluous. He almost died in the sun back then, and he didn't even mention the maid's name. Concubine Zhen guessed the mystery. Hide it for them.Although redundant, he still has to ask, this is related to the wealth and life of the Qing Dynasty and many people, including himself. Rong Qing nodded without hesitation. Guangxu let out a long breath, and he couldn't help but admire Concubine Zhen for seeing it right.It turned out that the reason why Concubine Zhen supported Rong Qing to escort Tan Sitong to find Yuan Shikai was because she knew that the woman he was dating was none other than Yin'er, a court lady in her palace.A man, at the moment of his life and death, can not betray the woman he loves, at least it shows his essence.So she gave Guangxu an idea, asking him to promise Rongqing that as long as he completes this important task, she will give him Yin'er, and end his longing for love.Looking at it now, it is really rare for Rong Qing to speak out against his beloved court lady. good!Guangxu was very emotional, and for the sake of prudence, he did not say what task was entrusted to him.He had to wait for Tan Sitong to draw up the secret edict before acting by ear.In order to further trap Rongqing, Guangxu immediately made a promise, saying that when the busy period is over and the court gets through the difficulties, no matter who his loved one is, he will immediately release her from the palace, and he will personally act as the officiant to replace them. The two got married. Thank you, Your Majesty!Rong Qing lay on the ground, he was so grateful that he refused to get up.At first, he thought he heard it wrong. When Guangxu repeated his promise again, he believed everything was true.If when he first entered the door, it was only out of justice and the instinct to protect his master as a slave, and he was aggrieved by King Rui and Cixi's conspiracy to frame the emperor, but now because Yin'er is suddenly placed in front of him as a bargaining chip in his own destiny, The balance that had been inclined in his heart completely tilted towards Guangxu. He waited for Guangxu to assign him a task.When he thought that as long as he could accomplish it, the emperor would marry Ling Yin'er to become his wife, his heart suddenly felt like a boiling oil pan, with thousands of feelings and emotions burning in the blood in the blood vessels around him in full swing.He stood there with fire in his eyes and a slight quiver of tension in his muscles.He clenched his hands tightly, like a beast ready to attack at any time, waiting for that moment to come, but Guangxu didn't let him do anything next, smiled and said: Kneel down.Rong Qing froze there.Because the emperor told you to kneel down, that means letting you go.Could it be that the emperor called himself here just to ask about his marriage with King Rui and his relationship with Yin'er.Impossible, he stood there motionless, thinking that things would never be so simple. emperor What more request?Guangxu asked kindly. emperor!Rong Qing hesitated for a moment, thinking that his fate would be closely linked with the supreme emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he suddenly remembered what the fortune teller in the Chengde Temple said, that the Long Live God in front of him was the noble person he met in his life, Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated: Rong Qing has a confidential report. What's up?Guangxu asked thoughtfully. To report to the emperor, Rong Qing knelt down in front of Guangxu, and Prince Rui privately dispatched the third battalion of forbidden troops, who entered Beijing the day before yesterday. I know, is there any more?Guangxu's heart felt hot.Although he had already heard the news, the words coming out of his mouth had another meaning.It seems that, as Concubine Zhen said, this person is available. The emperor will go to Tianjin for a military parade on the third day of the next lunar month? yes. The emperor had better not go. You have no jokes.What's more, things have already been decided, and I can't just run away.Guangxu's heart sank suddenly, and he heard something in the other party's words, but on the surface he made a posture that he had to go, to see what the other party said. If the emperor goes, just, just Rong Qing, he wanted to say that if the emperor went to Tianjin, he would not be the emperor anymore, but when the words came to his lips, he finally didn't dare to say the last sentence, his face turned red, please listen to the slave , What the servant said is all the truth! You mean, someone is going to attack me?Guangxu walked up to Rongqing and stopped, his expression became serious. Yes, there is a conspiracy to rebel.They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's military parade to depose the emperor and even asked the servants to take off the emperor's nine-dragon crown on the spot!Rong Qing stammered, and finally revealed the conspiracy of King Rui and the Empress Dowager. presumptuous!These people are blinded by profit, don't they know that my throne was passed down according to the great law of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, so let them mess around, I think they are getting impatient.Guangxu was so angry that his face was livid, and he almost didn't swear.He suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down God and asked, tell me, who are they?Is it King Rui? Prince Rui was just in front of the stage, Rong Qing chattered behind him for a long time, but still didn't dare to say the name of the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager. Although Rong Qing didn't say the name of the person behind him, Guangxu had already guessed, because behind King Rui, there could be no one else besides Cixi.Although he was not very surprised by this, he never expected that the other party's move was so fast and he chose to do it in this way.He was indescribably shocked when Rong Qing brought this extraordinary information.While he was thinking about the next step nervously, he showed a relaxed expression on his face, warning Rong Qing not to believe in rumors. emperor!What the servant said is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no falsehood.Rong Qing was in a hurry, and hurriedly assured Guangxu that his information was absolutely accurate. nonsense!I don't believe it.Guangxu interrupted the other party, his face darkened, you said such a thing, you are driving a wedge between the two palaces, and you have committed a crime of disrespect! emperor!When you heard the servant Rong Qing's tongue-tied mouth, you felt very wronged, and at the same time it was strange that you couldn't tell.Just now the emperor was asking about the situation with a very serious expression, but he turned his face in a blink of an eye, and even the accusation of alienating the two palaces came out.Thinking that the emperor would not listen to his words, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he felt unspeakably flustered, especially when he thought that if the emperor really asked them to dismiss him, there would be no future for him and Yin'er. Not wanting the color on the emperor's face, he bit his head and persuaded. Get out!Guangxu suddenly changed his face and shouted angrily. Rong Qing sighed deeply in his heart, kowtowed helplessly, and exited the hall.He walked all the way thinking in his heart.Whether it was the emperor who was so confused that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, or whether he was deliberately pretending to be confused and acting in front of him, after thinking about it, he didn't think it was the same.After much deliberation, I can't think of a reason. Rong Qing thought about his experiences over the years, it seemed that there was an unknowable force in the dark that was constantly influencing him, and he would be unlucky with whoever he got involved with, it seemed to be a law.He loves Yin'er, but Yin'er received an imperial decree when he was welcoming his relatives, and was sent to the palace to suffer.When he arrived in Chengde, the second uncle handed him over to Yuanliu. He didn't expect that this military master who had never been wronged would be tied to a wooden stake by the battalion officer and beaten to death because of him.Now he has managed to get attached to the current emperor. With the honor of this real dragon emperor, it is said that he would not bring bad luck to the emperor as a grassroots man, but there is such a coincidence in the world that someone wants to plot against the emperor What's even more frightening is that he didn't believe everything he said! Maybe this is life. He thought it over, no matter what fate he had to accept.Because he and Yin'er still have hope to be together in this life other than to follow Emperor Ding desperately, there is no other choice, if this is a dead end, he has only one way to go to the dark.
