Beijing, Sushun Mansion, and the three most powerful members of the Emperor's Party of the Qing Dynasty met in the living room and discussed major issues.

As a powerful minister of the dynasty, Su Shun is now a former minister of the Imperial Ministry and a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, with power in the court and the opposition. The other two core members of the Imperial Party are Prince Zheng Ruihua and Prince Yi Zaihuan. Both of them are hereditary iron hat kings, and they stomp their feet and the Forbidden City are trembling.

The three of them are descendants of the Aisin Jueluo family. They are both imperial party and assisted Xianfeng in defeating Yixin to ascend the throne and make great contributions. Now that Xianfeng ascends the throne, the imperial party has not been dissolved. Instead, they continue to form an offensive and defensive alliance, control the government and form a party for personal gain.

Forming a clique for personal gain is also an inevitable result. After all, Sushun, Zaihuan, Ruihua and others joined the imperial party and fully supported Xianfeng's Duodi, which was itself a speculative act. In order to defeat Yixin's Sixth Master Party, the three spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Not to mention losing all their money, they would be similar. Sacrifice so much will naturally be rewarded. Therefore, after Xianfeng ascended the throne, Sushun and others were in power, so they naturally had to form clique for personal gain, crack down on political enemies and eliminate dissidents, and get back ten or a hundred times the money they had invested before.

Now that Xianfeng has just one year since he ascended the throne, he has forgiven Yixin and even let Yixin enter the Military Affairs Office to become the foreman of the King. On the surface, he is a photo of the late emperor and has deep brotherhood. In fact, Xianfeng, as an emperor, is very smart. It is impossible for the imperial party such as Sushun to control the government affairs for a long time and form a party for personal gain. Therefore, Prince Gong Yixin was re-activated as a check and balance force in the court.

It may be a bit too much to say that Xianfeng wants to kill the donkey, but the minimum method of weighing the emperor is still necessary. Sushun and other veterans of the two dynasties knew this in their hearts. However, even though they knew that Xianfeng had done it intentionally, they had no choice but to defeat Yixin, so that they could control the government again and win the best interests for themselves.

Ruihua said: "You two don't have to be nervous. Lao Liu's party members were demoted. Now no one in the court pays attention to him. So what if you give him a military minister?"

Zai Huan immediately agreed, "That's right! Prince Gong is a general with only one, so Lord Su doesn't have to make a big deal!"

"I told you two to come, not to listen to your advice! We framed Yi Xin a lot and killed so many people around him. This is a blood debt and irreconcilable. Yi Xin naturally would not settle the accounts with the emperor, and would definitely be on our heads. So we have no room for anything, we can only do it to the end and never hold back!" As the boss, Su Shun is bigger than Zai Huan and Ruihua, regardless of age, generation, or power, so he spoke with an order and was irresistible.

Ruihua and Zaihuan looked at each other, and nodded at the same time, "That's right, it's better to start first!"

Su Shun then proposed: "The southern Hong bandits have broken through Guangxi and entered Hunan, Daozhou and Chenzhou fell. The emperor was furious when he learned about this. He ordered the Military Affairs Office to work with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to discuss strategies to suppress the bandits. Since Yi Xin is the head of the military affairs minister, we will strongly advocate that he go to the front line of the Hunan Governor-General for fighting."

Zai Huan suddenly interrupted, "Even if Hong Bids occupy only a few cities, they are just scabies. If you ask Prince Gong to go to the front-line governor's army, isn't this giving him credit?"

Ruihua was old and interrupted Zaihuan immediately and said, "Let me finish my words! With Master Su's wisdom, how can you and I see through it all at once?"

This flattery has been said to Sushun hundreds of times, but Sushun still likes to hear it and immediately said proudly: "Huguang is the place where I have been running for many years, especially the governor of Hunan, Zhang Liangji, is my disciple. As long as I have a condom for Yixin, I will let him get rid of it and fight a few defeats, we will gather together to impeach Yixin. Even if we can't kill him, we will dismiss him from the position of military minister and drive him out of the military bureau."

Zai Huan immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Su is indeed a clever plan. Why not just use Hong Bandit to get rid of Yi Xin directly, and it's all over."

Ruihua immediately shouted: "What do you know? Yixin can only punish him, but not him to death?"

Zaihuan asked in confusion: "Only be punished? Not to be punished? Why is this?"

Seeing that Zaihuan's IQ was too low, Ruihua immediately gave him a blank look and refused to explain.

Su Shun smiled and said, "Prince Yi doesn't know anything. Do you really think the emperor really forgives Yi Xin? The last emperor's will, brotherly love is all pretexts. Since the emperor ascended the throne, although he has been favored by us, he has not been wary of any of them. The emperor asked Yi Xin to enter the Military Affairs Office to become the foreman of the King of the King. His real intention was to restrain us. If we kill Yi Xin, what would the emperor think of us? He would be even more afraid of us, or to support some people to check and balance us, or to directly eliminate us. If that would be our end. Therefore, we can only punish Yi Xin for the time being, but we cannot kill him. We must keep him and show it to the emperor."

"So that's it! You are still smart!" Zai Huan suddenly realized.

Ruihua said at this time: "Mr. Su, although we want to use Hong Bandit to punish Prince Gong, have you ever thought about it? Hong Bandit is a big deal. If you are not careful and make Hong Bandit bigger, what should we do? Even if we destroy Prince Gong at that time, and the emperor has no one to use, we will definitely let Lord Su replace the bandits and suppress them. How should we clean up the mess at that time?"

"Prince Zheng's worries are not unreasonable!" Su Shun nodded, but said confidently: "I am naturally prepared! Hunan Governor Zhang Liangji alone cannot control Hong Bandits, but I have arranged a right-hand man for him. Zeng Guofan, the former Minister of War, has always been good at military tactics. Now that he is in his hometown in Hunan, I have sent him a letter. With him giving advice to Zhang Liangji, Liang Hong Bandits will not become a climate."

Ruihua said: "Zeng Guofan, the Minister of War, is this person reliable?"

Su Shun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zeng Guofan is a man who is grateful for his kindness. I have promoted him many times, no problem."

Zai Huan suddenly shouted, "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the palace to meet the saint now."

Sushun and Ruihua looked at each other and smiled. The three of them immediately entered the palace to meet the saint, lobbying Xianfeng, and launching a plan to trick Yixin.

The final result was as expected by the three. Xianfeng indeed ordered Governor Yixin to fight in Hunan and asked him to wipe out the Taiping Army rebellion as soon as possible.

Yixin's party members were scattered, and there were neither people who gave advice nor brave generals of the dynasty available. Letting him go to Hunan to suppress bandits now is as difficult as Zhang Fei's embroidery.

Just when Yi Xin was trapped by Sushun, Ruihua and Zaihuan, Li Weiguo, who was far away in Chongming County, ushered in his first great life opportunity after his rebirth.

Wu Yong quickly walked to the study and told Li Weiguo that he was very happy when he saw Li Weiguo: "Congratulations, Liu Jianzhang, the Grand Dao of Su Song, sent someone to send news, saying that the Shanghai County Magistrate was inappropriate in handling foreign affairs, causing conflicts between China and Britain, which was not conducive to Sino-British friendship. He has now been dismissed from the court. Lord Liu has sent a letter to the court and transferred the young master to Shanghai County as the county magistrate. I believe the transfer order will be brought down soon."

Li Weiguo was overjoyed when he heard this. For more than half a year, he has been planning to use various means to remove the current Shanghai County Magistrate. Now, with the help of the British Embassy and Liu Jianzhang, the Taidao of Su Song, he finally waited until the court dismissed the Shanghai County Magistrate.

Now I am waiting for the imperial court to issue an imperial edict and transfer Li Weiguo to Shanghai.

Before, Li Weiguo had always thought of getting Shanghai as soon as possible. Now that Shanghai is about to get it, Li Weiguo suddenly couldn't bear to leave Chongming County. After all, Chongming County was his first place to manage, and he was still very emotional.

"Sir, can't bear to leave this place?" Wu Yong asked immediately after observing the details.

Li Weiguo nodded.

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Chongming is only half a river away from Shanghai. Even if the adults arrive in Shanghai, they can take care of Chongming."

He paused and continued: "If there is a great chaos today, it will inevitably be a separatist situation for the princes in the future. Since the Lord has decided to take Shanghai as the foundation, then Chongming County is a barrier and cannot be abandoned easily."

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "But even if the court asks me to be transferred to Shanghai, it is still an order of a county. How can we control Chongming again?"

Wu Yong said: "This is very simple. How Xiao Yang controlled Chongming County for decades, so he just wanted to do it."

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up. This was just what he wanted. However, when he thought that Xiao Yang was picked up by Lu Jianying, he asked, "Is there any news about Xiao Yang's old man?"

Wu Yong replied: "I heard that Xiao Yang is still in the prison of the Liangjiang Governor's Office, so I don't know what the situation is. I think Lu Jianying dared not release Xiao Yang easily, so don't worry about this."

Li Weiguo snorted coldly and knew that it would be the result. But he didn't expect that Lu Jianying could not get the 320,000 taels of filial piety silver, and he had not killed Xiao Yang yet, which was a little strange.

At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly came in to report.

"Sir, the AIIB sent someone to inform you that the first batch of goods had arrived, so please accept it."

Li Weiguo was immediately overjoyed and said, "Ha, it's finally arrived!"
