Chapter 173: Borrowing Seed From Su Ye

Chapter 173 Shocking! Borrow Su Yi!

After hearing Su Yi's answer, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned.

Because the answer was so smooth, there was no hesitation.

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, I have handed over all the government and military affairs of Jiangxi to Hu Linyi, and concentrated on building these factories. That's because only I can understand this thing, and no one else can understand it."

"But how could I spend all my time in these factories? Probably..."

Su Yi thought about it and said: "In three years, at most three years, I will hand over all these factories."

"I have calculated that within three years, these factories have been on the right track. Moreover, all the more than 10 million taels of silver owed have been paid back. Even these factories have become giants, with annual production of Stably earn millions or even tens of millions of taels for the court."

"At that time, I will completely let go and hand him over completely to the court and the emperor."

"So the emperor had better start looking for candidates and teams now, and then take over these factories."

"Then, I can do what other ministers want to do, completely annihilate the rebellion, completely pacify the border areas, etc."

Then, Su Yi looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I said it when I established the new army. The success does not have to be mine. As long as the new army is trained, it doesn't matter whether I am the coach of the new army."

This hit the nail on the head.

Because Su Yi did hand over the new army.

The emperor asked the two wings of the new army to leave Jiujiang and go to Yangzhou. Su Yi had no objection at all.

The emperor made Ronglu the assistant minister of the new army and completely took over the Tianjin military station. Su Yi did not object.

With such high integrity, isn’t it worthy of trust?

Su Yi said: "But there is one thing. Regarding the establishment of the factory, it is really related to the economic lifeline of our Qing Dynasty, and even to the future life and death. I must do it well, no matter what the cost, I must do it well."

This sentence actually has some edge.

It immediately reminded the emperor of two years ago. When the new army was established, Boyan first and then Zhaolin went to seize power.

As a result, Boyan was beaten to the end and he still can't get up.

Zhaolin committed suicide and died tragically.

When Su Yi was running a big business, he was like a fierce dog guarding his food. He would kill anyone who dared to sabotage or disturb him.

Therefore, when the emperor heard this sentence, he was stunned at first.

Then, there is anger.

Su Yi, what do you mean? Is this a secret warning?

Are you saying that only you can do things, and the others will only hold you back?

Su Yi said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I hereby swear that after three years, when the Jiujiang factory is on the right track, I will hand it all over to the imperial court and I will never be obsessed with power!"

Then, Sanxi Hall fell into silence once again.

After a long while, the emperor said: "I am tired."

Su Yi said: "I leave!"

Then, Su Yi left!

……………………………………………………

After Su Yi left, the emperor was not tired at all.

Instead, he sat quietly in his chair and began to review.

This evening's conversation with Su Yi contained too much information, and he needed to digest it well.

Was this a successful conversation?

have no idea!

First of all, the accusations those people made against Su Yi were completely false.

He is still the same as before, dedicated to the country and the public.

but……

Has the emperor's grudge been eliminated?

Don't know either.

No, he knew that.

The grudge has not been eliminated.

In fact, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But this discomfort has deteriorated.

Before, he was purely angry. He felt that Su Yi had betrayed him, that Su Yi was arrogant and ignorant.

And after talking!

The emperor didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart.

It's the kind of thing where people don't betray you, but... that's because they have high aspirations.

In modern terms, people's goal is the stars and the sea.

Of course the emperor didn't know this.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable, but he could not express it in his mouth.

Su Yi, you are dedicated to the public and to the country and the country.

Then...then where do you put me?

But, do you think Su Yi is wrong?

And the question that your emperor is most concerned about is, will the British withdraw their troops? What do the British want?

Su Yi also gave you the answer directly.

And it gave you a very clear answer.

Even if the attitude is bad, even if it is full of sadness, he still gives a solution.

All I have to say is that according to the bottom line in your emperor's heart, even if it's a pig, the deal can be successful.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and said: "Summon Sushun and others, no, summon Sushun alone into the palace."

At the critical moment, the emperor still trusted Sushun.

Because he understands the emperor best and can provide him with psychological massage.

…………………………………………

This time, Sushun came quickly because he was waiting outside the palace.

The emperor described the conversation he had just had with Su Yi.

After listening, Sushun also fell into silence.

He didn't expect that this would be the result.

Su Yi's meeting with the emperor seemed to resolve all the doubts.

But...it's too tough.

As a minister, the will you have shown is too firm.

You hurt the emperor's self-esteem.

And Su Ye is right.

Su Shun can easily judge that Su Ye is right.

Listening to the phonograph, the sound of Peking opera came out.

He was completely shocked.

Then he saw the whole Sanxi Hall was bright, as bright as day.

Su Shun was even more stunned.

He listened to Su Ye's deafening theories again.

Now the Qing Dynasty is losing money every year. If this continues, the financial lifeline will be lost.

We must find a way to save the situation and balance the inflow and outflow.

What Su Ye said and did was right.

But you make people look so incompetent and ignorant.

Too arrogant.

The emperor said: "Su Shun, do you think what Su Ye said is right? Is what he did right?"

Su Shun was silent for a long time and said: "I'm afraid it's... right."

The emperor now deeply felt how Li Shimin felt when facing Wei Zheng.

In fact, he felt much worse than Li Shimin at this moment.

He had something to say, but he didn't say it.

Before talking with Su Ye, the emperor thought Su Ye was arrogant and betrayed his kindness. The emperor was very angry, but he just wanted Su Ye to be beaten hard.

And now... he seemed to have a demon in his heart.

As if there was a murderous intention.

Su Shun was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, Jiujiang really can't do without Su Ye. This is a stall of more than 10 million taels of silver, half of which is the hard-earned money of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital."

"The most important thing is that according to this situation, these factories may really bring huge benefits to the Qing Dynasty in the future."

"If Su Ye is not here, this huge debt of more than 10 million taels will probably explode immediately."

"In addition, the most urgent task is the withdrawal of the British."

The emperor said faintly: "Su Shun, I'm telling you a truth from my heart. I don't want him to run this factory."

"I even... don't want to see him again."

Of course, this is just what Yi Zhu said in his heart.

It was the only thing he would say to Sushun alone.

As Emperor Xianfeng, he could not say this.

Sushun understood the emperor's psychology in seconds.

The other party was in a dilemma now.

From the emperor's personal emotions, he did not want to let Su Ye return to Jiangxi, and he would completely dismiss him and put him on ice.

But from the emperor's perspective, for the sake of the country, Su Ye must be released back to Jiangxi.

Otherwise, what if the debt of more than 10 million taels of silver exploded directly?

And everything Su Ye said and did was right.

But what makes people angry is that he is right, and he is always right.

Can't you make a mistake once?

Even if you make a mistake once?

………………………………………………

Shou'an Princess's Mansion.

Even late at night, Princess Shou'an still waited in the study.

Sure enough...

Su Ye appeared.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Princess Shou'an said in a trembling voice, "What should I do in this situation now?"

Su Ye gently hugged her and said, "Good sister, go back to Mongolia."

Princess Shou'an was shocked and said, "What do you mean?"

Then, she shook her head and said, "The emperor has driven me back to Mongolia, but I don't want to go back. Even if I want to go back, I will wait until you and Sixth Sister get married before going back."

Su Ye said, "Princess Shouxi and I will not get married again."

"At least not in the next two or three years."

"The emperor may not be able to break the engagement, but it will be delayed indefinitely."

After hearing this, Princess Shou'an burst into tears.

Su Ye said softly, "Be obedient and go back to Mongolia first. When I ask you to come back, you can come back."

Princess Shou'an did not speak again, but just quietly leaned in Su Ye's arms.

…………………………………………

When Su Ye returned home, it was already midnight.

The whole family did not sleep.

The Chongen couple did not sleep either.

Today, the night when the emperor came to the palace to meet the emperor was also a thrilling night for them.

Su Ye had just returned home, and the family immediately came to greet him.

Sister Qingqing said softly: "Xiao Ye, how is it? Did you pass this level?"

Then, the whole family looked at Su Ye anxiously.

Su Ye said: "Passed."

Suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ye said: "Where is the baby?"

Qingqing said: "Asleep."

Su Ye said: "Sister, then you should go back to your room to rest, I will come in a while."

"Uncle, brother, let's go to the study to talk."

Su He was stunned. Why didn't he go to the study to talk?

But the next second, he was dragged away by Tong Jia.

And the eldest princess Qingqing returned to the room and lay gently beside the baby.

The look she gave the baby was full of love.

She was looking at the baby, but she was thinking about the baby's father.

………………………………

Inside the study!

Su Ye said: "Brother, next you find a reason to impeach the Minister of Revenue Weng Xincun, and then let things take their course and resign and go home."

Brother Su Quan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Su Ye said: "Uncle, you have already resigned, just right."

"I have arranged people in the capital, you are ready at any time. Because the people I arranged will appear at home at any time, take you to leave Beijing secretly and go south to Jiujiang."

Hearing Su Ye's words.

Su Quan and Chong En were shocked.

Chong En couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Ye, has it come to this?"

Su Quan said: "Second brother, didn't you say that this stage has been passed?"

Su Ye said: "This stage has been passed, but the real storm has just begun. For the safety of the whole family, we must leave the capital. Of course not now, but one day in the future."

Chong En said: "Everyone leave?"

Su Ye said: "Yes, all!"

Chong En said: "Okay, I will make preparations in secret immediately."

Su Quan said: "I will also make all preparations."

Then, he added: "Don't worry, I won't tell my father."

Chong En couldn't help but look at Su Quan.

You just said this sentence.

But Su Quan still felt that it would be better for him to say it out loud, so as not to worry his brother.

Su Ye smiled and said, "Brother, you can only be useful when you go to Jiujiang. There is a need for people like you who are impartial and selfless."

This is not to completely comfort Su Quan. With his personality, his elder brother is not suitable for being an official in the court. He can only use his talents in the Jiujiang factory.

Su Ye found that his elder brother did not understand the ways of the world, but he was very sensitive and proficient in mathematics, which was a kind of talent.

Su Ye said, "As for my uncle, you can help me take charge and communicate with the provinces and regions."

Chongen has nothing else but a reputation for being noble, and he is of high generation and has a long history.

If he comes forward, the provincial governors of other provinces will have to give him some face.

It's just that this uncle is too upright.

There are some things next, and I'm afraid he needs to be fully committed before he can understand what Su Ye has done.

Next, he talked and laughed for a few words, and the three of them dispersed.

After Su Quan went back, he couldn't sleep, and wrote a thousand-word memorial.

He is a person who, once he does something, he will do it to the extreme.

………………………………………………

After entering the room.

The baby raised his hands and slept soundly.

Qingqing, the eldest princess, gently nestled in his arms.

Su Ye said: "Big sister, be prepared. You may need to evacuate the baby and the family to Jiujiang at any time."

In the dark night, it seemed that Qingqing's eyes full of surprise could be seen.

"Really?"

Su Ye said: "Really."

The baby next to him seemed to be awakened, twisted a few times, and continued to sleep.

Big sister Qingqing arched her head slightly and said softly: "Good little Ye, good baby..."

"Sister really misses you crazy."

…………………………………………………………

The court meeting the next day!

Su Ye did not go to court.

The emperor did not make a clear order for him to go to court, nor did he ask him not to go to court.

But Su Ye chose not to go.

However, the court's impeachment of Su Ye seemed to disappear without a trace.

Because everyone knew that after Su Ye went to Beijing to meet with the emperor, all the decision-making power was in the hands of the emperor.

Whether they impeached or not, the result was the same.

But...

As if they had received some kind of signal, the impeachment of Jiujiang prefect Shen Baozhen was as dense as raindrops.

All the mistakes Shen Baozhen had made before were exposed at this time.

His whole life seemed to be magnified ten times or a hundred times to find faults.

There were really dozens or hundreds of people who impeached him crazily.

If Shen Baozhen was in this court, he would be scared.

And at this time, a discordant voice appeared.

Su Quan, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I impeach the Minister of Revenue Weng Xincun for corruption and abuse of power."

Everyone was stunned.

Su Quan, what do you mean?

Your brother Su Ye should have passed this time.

Everyone received the signal from Su Zhongtang, stop impeaching Su Ye.

At this time, you should be law-abiding and keep your tail between your legs.

What's the point of you coming out to impeach Weng Xincun at this time?

What are you looking for?

But Su Quan is very serious about his work. Although he impeached Weng Xincun in order to resign from his post because of his brother's words, he was also very well prepared.

All the evidence of the crime was very clear.

What year, what dereliction of duty, and how much silver was involved were all clearly written.

His impeachment took a full quarter of an hour.

Thousands of words.

And all of them are practical, with almost no sensational words.

Everyone present was getting more and more shocked.

Of course, they were not shocked that Weng Xincun had so many mistakes. Which minister of the court did not make money and which did not make mistakes?

What shocked them was that Su Quan was so ruthless that he impeached his superior.

What exactly did he mean by this?

Was it his own intention? Or Su Ye's intention?

This kind of impeachment is often a killer move, and there is no return.

At this level of impeachment, if you don't impeach others, you will fall.

Sure enough, after Su Quan finished impeaching, the Minister of Revenue Weng Xincun immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I beg to die."

When faced with this level of impeachment, it is not even easy to refute. The higher the level of the minister, the more respectful he must be.

The only way is to resign.

The emperor looked at Su Quan with uncertain eyes and did not speak for a long time.

It is not easy for him, the emperor, to avoid this level of impeachment because the charges are too detailed.

"The Censorate, investigate!" said the emperor.

The Censorate's literary talent stepped out and bowed, saying, "I obey your order!"

Then, the head of the Censorate said, "Your Majesty, I also impeach Shen Bao for three major crimes."

"The first one is that he blew up the Yangtze River embankment, which was against heaven and earth."

"The second one is that he changed the flag in Nanchang, was greedy for merit and advanced rashly, and lost soldiers and generals."

"The third one is that he once robbed the guns and weapons of the new army of the imperial court in Shanghai, and despised the imperial court."

Huh? !

You, your angle is really tricky and strange.

No one mentioned the last crime two years ago, because everyone opposed Su Ye at that time, and Shen Baozhen robbed Su Ye's arms, and the most important thing was that Su Ye killed Zhang Yuzhao in public.

At that time, a group of bigwigs of the Hunan Army tried their best to impeach Su Ye.

The impeachment by the bigwigs of the Censorate basically set the tone.

The emperor said loudly: "Draft an edict to dismiss Shen Baozhen from all his posts and demote him to a commoner!"

Finally!

The emperor poured all his anger on Shen Baozhen.

The next suspense is who the emperor will choose as the prefect of Jiujiang.

This position is not simple now. To some extent, the current prefect of Jiujiang is Su Ye's real deputy.

Then, Su Shun stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangxi's political and military affairs are heavy now. As the governor of Jiangxi, Su Ye should not leave for too long. It is better to return to Jiangxi as soon as possible."

After listening, the emperor seemed to nod, but did not say anything.

…………………………………………………………

At home.

Su Ye is holding his baby son and enjoying the family happiness.

Mother Tong Jia smiled and couldn't help but reach out her hand several times to hold her baby grandson.

This baby grandson, she didn't hold him for two hours, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

So recently, she and Madam Chongen almost competed to hold this grandson.

On the contrary, Qingqing, the mother, can only bring the baby with her when she goes to bed at night.

Tong Jia saw that Qingqing's eyes on Su Ye were getting more and more attached, so she made a prompt decision and immediately went forward to carry her grandson away.

"Let's go, let's go out to play."

The big baby cried a few times, and he was carried away before he had enough fun.

But soon he saw that he was going out, and he was immediately excited, like a puppy about to be let out.

Sure enough, the baby just went out.

Qingqing couldn't wait to sit in Su Ye's arms.

It's really not that addictive, because from yesterday to today, it has been three times.

It's more of a spiritual attachment.

"Xiao Ye, what are you waiting for?" Qingqing asked.

Su Ye said: "Waiting for the imperial edict."

Qingqing said softly: "Are you in a hurry?"

Su Ye said: "Time is very tight, I'm afraid if I don't leave now, it will be difficult to leave."

Qingqing put her face close to him and said softly: "I really want to leave south with you this time, and never separate again in the future."

At this moment, a loud shout came from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Su Ye will receive it!"

Su Ye kissed Qing Qing lightly on the face, and then walked out.

It was Wang Chenggui who came to deliver the edict, not Zeng Lu.

Zeng Lu was an ally.

But this Wang Chenggui was not.

So, he kept a straight face.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Order decrees that Su Ye, the governor of Jiangxi, will leave Beijing tomorrow to return to his post. This is the order!"

This order was extremely simple.

There was no encouragement or admonition.

Su Ye said, "I accept the order and thank you!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Chenggui did not move, but stood there with a fake smile.

Of course, Su Ye knew that this was a bribe.

This man was the most greedy.

However, Su Ye pretended not to know, and respectfully received the imperial edict and placed it on the incense table.

Wang Chenggui was immediately furious.

You Su Ye, you are so arrogant, don't you even take me seriously?

Usually when Chengshou came to deliver an imperial edict, you gave him a lot of silver. You are famous for your generosity.

I, Wang Chenggui, am the chief eunuch. I don't usually come out to deliver an imperial edict. Now I finally deliver an imperial edict, but you don't have any silver for me?

This is really too much.

But in Su Ye's view, Wang Chenggui is already an enemy. It doesn't matter whether he gives silver or not.

It's useless if he gives it.

And after passing this level, Su Ye will express another emotion next.

Although Wang Chenggui in front of him is the chief eunuch.

But it will be easy for Su Ye to kill him in the future.

"Brother Su Ye, then let's wish you a bright future in the future." Wang Chenggui gritted his teeth.

Su Ye bowed and said, "Thank you for your good words, eunuch."

Then, Wang Chenggui left with a cold face.

………………………………………………

At her mother's house.

Bingbing lay quietly on the bed, looking at the roof.

She had just drunk a lot of wine, her face was red, and she was drunk.

Tears silently slid down from the corners of her eyes.

After being humiliated, she couldn't stay in the palace anymore, and immediately knelt down to ask to go home to visit her parents.

The queen was kind-hearted, so she asked the emperor for an order to let her go home and rest for a few days.

All this was completely different from what she imagined.

She knew that she was beautiful, and even few people in the whole capital could compare to her.

So she was determined to marry the most noble person.

She participated in the selection again and again, but because she was too beautiful, she was repeatedly rejected by the queen mother.

When the queen mother was no longer able to do so, she was already over the age limit, so her family spent money to bribe her to break the rules and participate in the selection for the third time.

Sure enough, after losing the queen mother's restraint, the emperor took a fancy to her at first sight.

She got what she wanted and entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

However, everything was different from what she imagined.

Even if you marry into the palace, even if you are favored, it seems that it has not changed the fate of the family.

Her father Zhaolin did get a promotion, but... he died soon in political struggles.

Her brother Zhaobu also relied entirely on Su Ye's support to achieve today's achievements.

But the emperor was cold and this kind of favor was not long-lasting.

And she was too naive before, relying on her favor, offended too many people, and was repeatedly suppressed.

But she still had illusions, thinking that the emperor loved her after all.

But what happened not long ago completely shattered all her illusions.

She was slapped in public.

Her trusted maid was beaten to death, and it was the emperor who ordered it to be killed.

The words in the emperor's ear, you deserve it!

seemed so harsh.

At this moment, she was very scared and full of hatred.

Her mother was crying with heartache beside her.

"What's good about marrying into the palace? I should have agreed to Su Ye's proposal at that time. That's a man who can care for others and take responsibility."

"Your brother Zhaobu originally hated Su Ye, but now he only wants to do big things with Su Ye."

"My dear daughter, the emperor's favor is unreliable. You can only rely on having a son or a daughter."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have no way to survive in the future. When that day comes, you will be childless and you will be dragged to be buried alive with others."

Since Kangxi, there has actually been no system of concubines being buried alive with others, but Enie's words still frightened Bingbing.

Of course, more importantly, she was full of indignation.

"Enie, when will Lord Su Ye leave Beijing?" Bingbing suddenly said.

The mother said, "How would I know that?"

Bingbing said, "You go to Su Ye's house in person and tell him that I have something very important to tell him. Please ask him to come to our house."

"You must be very careful and don't let anyone find out where you are."

Her mother was stunned after hearing this. Her face turned pale and she said, "My dear daughter, what kind of thing are you borrowing? Ene was just joking before. It's very dangerous. The whole family will be killed."

Bingbing said coldly, "Humph, do you think the harem is clean? It's also very dirty. It has been dirty since the last emperor, but no one talks about it."

"Didn't you say that I have no children and my future is very miserable. I might be dragged to be buried alive with you."

"I have already calculated that I am easy to get pregnant during this period. If I really get pregnant and give birth to a son, I might be able to fight for it in the future. Lord Su Ye will also fight for it."

Her mother was stunned.

She really just wanted to be quick-witted. She really didn't have the guts to do that.

But she didn't expect that her daughter would have such courage.

However, she knew her daughter too well. She had been spoiled since she was a child and was really bold.

Otherwise, she would not have bribed the inner court at that time. She would not have participated in the third draft even though she was too old.

And now she is drunk and even more perverse.

Her mother said: "My dear daughter, you are drunk now, and you are talking drunkenly. Wait until you sober up before talking, okay?"

Bingbing said: "Many people are useless after they sober up."

"Go and call him..." Bingbing said drunkenly: "If you don't go, I will go by myself."

"I will go, I will go..." Her mother left the house in fear, hid herself in the dark, and walked towards Su Ye's house.

"Boom boom boom!"

There were bursts of lightning and thunder.

Zhaobu's mother shivered.

It was almost winter, and there were such thunder and lightning.

Is this a sign from heaven?

I really don't know if my daughter's drunken and daring behavior will bring disaster to the whole family.

………………………………………………

At the same time!

Thousands of miles away on the sea!

The wind swept the dark clouds.

Thunder and lightning.

Heavy rain!

Suddenly there was a loud bang.

The lightning was like a long dragon, suddenly tearing open the night sky.

The entire sea surface was completely illuminated.

A huge joint fleet!

Like a giant beast in the dark, it was murderous and headed towards Tianjin.

Note: The first update is here. I'm going to sleep. I'm asking for your monthly tickets to help me sleep.

I'm grateful for the cakes. Thank you all!
