Chapter 204 Trading

Cui was so drunk that he jumped on the drinking table unconsciously. Ye Tuo sent Cui to his home.

The next day, Cui woke up and forgot what he had said after drinking the day before. He didn't know that he was about to have a big disaster.

Yetao returned home and drafted an analysis report on the Korean war situation overnight. This analysis report did not involve Ye Zhichao, but put forward many objective reasons for the defeat of the Qing army in Pyongyang, such as insufficient equipment, insufficient food and fodder, insufficient funds, and low training level. This analysis report is actually defending Li Hongzhang, because Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang is fully responsible for the war against Japan, Ye Zhichao was defeated in North Korea, and Li Hongzhang has an inescapable leadership responsibility. However, the disadvantages of the Qing army listed in the report also exist objectively.

The next day, Yetao came to the Beiyang government with this report and a lot of money. Driven by silver, the report was finally handed over to Li Hongzhang.

These days, Li Hongzhang has fallen into the condemnation of the government and the opposition, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty rose up and attacked him. Li Hongzhang lived all day long. When he saw this report, his eyes lit up.

And Yetao's report said what Li Hongzhang wanted to say but dared not say!

Li Hongzhang is very clear that Ye Tuo's report is exempt from responsibility for Ye Zhichao, but this is also exempt Li Hongzhang from responsibility.

Li Hongzhang hates Ye Zhichao very much, but he can't take care of it so much. Otherwise, he will be drowned by the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang immediately ordered someone to submit this report to the court.

Sure enough, this report came to the court, and the voice accusing Li Hongzhang of weakened a lot. After all, the objective reasons listed by Yetao are also facts.

At the same time, Yetao went to Beijing with this report and a lot of money.

There was a report to pave the way, and with silver opening the way, Yetao's road became wider and wider. Finally, he actually went to the house of Zaiyi, the king of Duan.

Duanjun Wang Zaiyi is different from others. Others are staring at Li Hongzhang and taking every opportunity to attack Li Hongzhang, while Zaiyi is staring at Emperor Guangxu!

As Guangxu grew up, she became more and more dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Cixi, and separated from the Empress Dowager. She had a big kick away from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Buddha became more and more worried about the emperor. There are various signs that the Empress Dowager is already considering the abolition of the emperor.

Once Guangxu is abolished, the most likely person to ascend the throne of God is Pu Yan, the son of Zaiyi.

Therefore, Zaiyi stood firmly on the side of the Empress Dowager Buddha and became the backbone of the Later Party.

With the step-by-step development of the Qing-Japanese War, in the imperial court, this war seems to be no longer a war between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese, but a war between the emperor and the empress dowager.

The changes in the situation on the battlefield determine the rise and fall of the Imperial Party and the Later Party.

The Qing army was defeated in Seoul, Pyongyang, Huanghai and Liaodong, and the rise of the party; while Zhou Charter's victory in Anzhou gave the imperial party a chance to rise.

Zaiyi knew that Zhou Charter was the pawn in the emperor's hand, and even the emperor's trump card. The victory of the Zhou Charter is the victory of the emperor, and once the Zhou Charter fails, Guangxu will no longer have the capital to challenge the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, when he met Yetao, he was not interested in Yetao's report. Li Hongzhang's rise and fall, regardless of his business.

However, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Charter very gently.

Yetao immediately heard the sound outside the strings of Zaiyi.

In officialdom, there have always been transactions. Duanjun Wang Zaiyi saved Ye Zhichao's life, so on the other hand, Yetao also needed to do a reciprocal thing for Zaiyi, which is to bring down Zhou Charter!

Yetao did not know that Zhou Charter was involved in the fight between the Empress Dowager and the emperor. His grade was too low to understand royal politics. He thought that Zhou Charter had offended Zai Yi.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as Zai Yi can open a bid code.

What's more, Yetao already held the handle of Zhou Charter in his hand - Cui's drunken truth. It's enough for him to repeat what Cui exposed said.

Sure enough, Ye Tuo told the absurdity of Zhou Charter in Tianjin Wubei School. Zaiyi, the king of Duan, was first stunned, and then was very happy. He even praised Ye Tuo's ability to do things. Then, he sighed that Ye Zhichao was imprisoned for being a villain. Finally, Zaiyi seriously asked Ye Tuo and dared to report this to the emperor in person.

Zaiyi made such a statement, and Yetao naturally understood that Zaiyi was going to take action.

However, the peach news in Tianjin Wubei School is related to royal decentness. As a prince, it is inconvenient for Zaiyi to report to the emperor in person and needs a foreign minister to speak. As long as Yetao poked this matter to the emperor, Zaiyi could keep Ye Zhichao's head.

The two sides got together, and in this way, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi took Yetao into the Forbidden City.

And Emperor Guangxu didn't expect Ye Tao to have such a shocking scandal. Suddenly, he was so angry that he was incoherent and even slogous. Even Zhenfei and his wife were blushing and unable to make a sound.

Zaiyi said coldly, "Your Majesty, in this way, this Zhou Charter is simply a well-dressed beast. The emperor has given him the military and political power of North Korea, and I'm afraid that the North Korean people will live a dark and miserable life. This is still secondary. Importantly, Zhou Charter has no king and no father in his eyes. In order to achieve his goal, he will inevitably collude with the Japanese in order to divide North Korea. If Zhou Charter is in collusion with the Japanese, our land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty will be dangerous!"

He Lashi reacted and scolded, "Bold Ye Tao, you have heard the story, listen to Cui exposed nonsense, don't ask whether it's true or false, spread rumors, and the royal decentness has been lost to all of you people!"

Ye Tao said in a hurry, "Weichen dares not spread rumors. This matter is true. Those who know about this matter are not only Cui exposed, but also Jin and Liu Buchan, as well as Minxiu Gege's personal maid Cherry."

Zaiyi Youyou said, "Your Majesty, this matter is related to Gege's reputation and royal dignity. I think that this matter should not be public. Liu Buchan is outside and has no time to split up. Jin is a circuitous husband, and it is not appropriate to ask him about this matter. I think that as long as the emperor and the nobles quietly ask Gege's close maid Cherry, Naturally, it will be clear."

Guangxu trembled with anger: "Come on, take down Yetao!"

Yetao shouted in horror, "Your Majesty, I am not guilty!"

"Is there any sin? I will know when I see Cherry!" Guangxu scolded, "Ye Tao, do you know that damaging the reputation of the royal family is a major crime to destroy the nine clans!"

Zaiyi said, "Ye Tao is the person I brought. Ye Tao is guilty, and I naturally share the same sin."

Guangxu's face turned blue with anger, and Zai Yi's words are ** naked threat! He is telling Guangxu that behind Yetao is his prince Duan, and behind prince Duan is the old Buddha!

He gently pulled the corner of Guangxu's clothes: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to figure this out, otherwise, someone will always chew Zhou Charter's tongue! Your Majesty, Zhou Charter is your own Prime Minister to North Korea!"

He suddenly woke up. Zaiyi brought Ye Tao into the palace at this time and shook out such an affair. His purpose was by no means a small Zhou Charter!

He is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!

Zaiyi is too domineering and arrogant! He did this to force the emperor into the corner!

Once this matter is stabbed to the old Buddha, the empress dowager and the emperor will have a final showdown!

However, is it really time to have a showdown with the Empress Dowager Lafayette?

"Since Princess Zhen said so, then go and find the cherry!" Guangxu said helplessly.

Half an hour later, Minxiu and Cherry entered the Forbidden City.

This is his idea. Cherry is a maid. If Cherry is brought into the palace alone, if Ye Tao's words are true, Minxiu can immediately guess what happened.

If she knew that ridiculous thing, the emperor would know it. I'm afraid she will make a good or wrong with her sensitive temperament.

The two entered the palace, and Guangxu pulled Minxiu to pull things. Zhenfei secretly took the cherry aside and questioned the absurdity of Tianjin Wubei School.

The emperor and concubine asked about this matter. Cherry had great courage and did not dare to lie, so she had to tell the whole story.

There is no doubt about this matter. Zhou Charter has indeed seen the jade body embroidered with Shuo Gemin. However, according to Cherry, although Zhou Charter's behavior is ridiculous and perverse, it is not premeditated.

However, the main person responsible for this matter is not Zhou Charter. On the contrary, he embroidered himself and did not honestly do his style at home. He insisted on going to Tianjin Wubei School to be a soldier. The secondary responsible person is the edgy of Jin. He wanted to bet on someone else, which made Zhou Charter panic in order to escape his life. He chose the way to break into Minxiu's boudoir. Although Zhou Charter was the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident, this guy looked at the jade body of the majestic sister and feasted his eyes. He looked at it carefully and found that this guy really had no responsibility.

Send Minxiu away, and Guangxu and other Lashi couldn't laugh or cry.

Only now did Guangxu remember that Zhou Charter had won a complete victory in North Korea. The news came, and the whole dynasty was celebrating. Only Minxiu was unhappy. It turned out that there was such an embarrassing thing! This incident also reasonably explained why Minxiu raised her eyebrows as soon as she heard Zhou Charter's name.

If this happens in ordinary people's homes, everyone will laugh and it will be over. But the problem is that this happened to the royal family, and the victim was the sister of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Guangxu knew that he couldn't fool this matter, and Zaiyi, the prince of Duan, would hold on to it.

Zhai Yi is going to use this matter to bring down Zhou Charter and cut off one of Guangxu's arms!

Now, Zhou Charter's troops have disobeyed the imperial order in North Korea, which has aroused public anger. Even the clear streamers who have always supported the emperor have written to impeach him one after another. If this matter is announced again, it is the last straw to crush the camel!

If the Zhou Charter collapses, the emperor will completely fail in this battle between the emperor and the empress dowager!

This scandal has influenced the political situation of the Qing Dynasty.
