Besides, after Zai Ling slipped away, he didn't dare to go back to the Duke Fuguo's mansion. He knew that he had caused a big disaster this time, so he hurried to his other courtyard in Maoer Hutong to hide. Most of the kings and princes in the capital had the habit of buying a house outside the mansion to raise women, and Zai Ling was no exception.

After arriving at the outer house of Maoer Hutong, Zailing walked into the inner room with restlessness. The woman he raised here happily greeted her: "Hello, hello, I haven't come. I'll ask someone to prepare wine and food."

Zailing pushed away the woman's angrily and said angrily: "When is it now? I still have this idea? Go and go!" The woman retreated unhappily, and Zailing ordered her subordinates to go out to inquire about the news.

The entourage returned half a night and only reported: "My Lord, all nine gates have been sealed, and the city Dasuo said it was to capture the remnants of the Sushun party."

Zai Ling said with a look of death: "This woman is so fucking fierce. She has arranged everything early in the morning. She just waited for us to pick up an excuse and she would get someone. We still underestimate her."

While he was talking, the door was knocked loudly. Zailing didn't care about thinking about it and ordered his entourage to deal with it. He was preparing to pack up the fine lines and run away from the back door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished his order, the door was smashed open roughly, and the door was broken. A group of people with lustful uniforms rushed in. The one who followed them was Prince Hui Mianyu.

Seeing that it was Mianyou, Zailing felt much more at ease. Although Mianyou looked at Empress Dowager Cixi, Mianyou was always stubborn and soft-hearted. Maybe he could let him go. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you always want to save the young man."

Mianyou snorted coldly and said angrily: "What are you doing good things? What else can you say now? Come on. Tie me and send it to the Ministry of Justice!"

The guards on the left and right came up to press Shanzai Ling. When Zai Ling saw Mianyu turning against others, he immediately cursed: "Uncle, you treat me like this. You will regret it in the future! The man in the west will sooner or later ruin our vast land! You are also helping the evil, what will you do to meet the ancestors in the future..."

Zai Ling was stuffed with her mouth when she scolded her, and she couldn't curse again. She was soon taken away by the guards. Mian You rolled her sleeves, looked sad, and said to herself: "Don't I know? You just were too hasty. You were exposed and had to sacrifice you to win the trust of the woman."

That night, the capital was martial law. The nine cities were in great orders, and there were more than a thousand Manchu and Mongolian ministers. The nobles were imprisoned. Some of them did not participate in the Meridian Gate petition, but they were all locked. The charge was the remnants of the Sushun Rebellion Party. Prince Hui and Mianyu stood firmly on the side of the Empress Dowager Cixi. He also locked up many people. For a moment, the officials in the capital exclaimed that the respected Prince Hui was also from the Empress Dowager Cixi.

By the early morning, the situation became increasingly tense. The army of the Beijing Infantry Commander, the Beijing Capital Camp, the Fengtai Camp and other troops also began to acquire people. A large number of participating generals were taken down. The emperor's personal arms and weapons battalion quickly entered these key departments, and the military power was further controlled in the hands of the King Gong Party. Only the Xishan Ruijian Camp was still in Mianyu's hands.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the arrest of Sushun's remnants this time was even bigger than when Sushun was defeated. Many Manchu and Mongolian nobles were involved, and many military generals were implicated. In fact, they were not Sushun's remnants. Everyone found that these people were actually the Empress Dowager Dong's people.

It was not until the morning court was in the third day that it was restored. The atmosphere of the morning court was very depressing. Empress Dowager Ci'an did not attend the morning court. It was reported in the palace that Empress Dowager Ci'an was ill.

After the morning court was over, Mianyu took the initiative to ask for a meeting, and Xingzhen summoned him at the East Warehouse Pavilion of Ganqing Palace.

Mianyu entered the hall and knelt on the ground. Xingzhen was slightly shocked. Mianyu was a minister of life when Daoguang died. After four dynasties, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng and Tongzhi, the royal family was extraordinary and the relatives of the Eight Banners had great prestige. He had been highly valued by Xianfeng before. Although Xingzhen did not trust him very much, it was not easy to make things difficult for him too much. He hurriedly stood up and ordered Li Lianying to support Mianyu.

Mianyu refused to rise with a sad look, but just raised her head and said, "Empress Dowager, now there are foreigners who are oppressing the traitors. It is understandable that the Empress Dowager will kill the traitors. However, Mianyu has always come to the door to mourn and plead for sorrow. I am so annoyed. Please ask the Empress Dowager to transfer me out..."

Mianyou cried for a while, Xingzhen understood that Mianyou was the first person in the royal family. Now that many Manchu and Mongolian ministers have been questioned, his threshold has almost been broken by the families of these ministers. Those who pleaded with mercy are surrounded by the door of the mansion all day long. Most of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles are related to each other. Mianyou cannot hide his face and will not be able to break it. Of course, it is annoying.

Xingzhen comforted her a few words and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since that's the case, you'll let it go for a while."

At this moment, Prince Gong Yi walked in. He held a red note of emergency military information in his hand. He lifted the curtain and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, the British, French and foreigners are very anxious to siege Tianjin. He has been fighting fiercely for days. The monks and kings lost three or four thousand people every day. If this continues, I am afraid that they will be all done in a few days..."

Speaking of this, Yi? He noticed that Mian Yu was also there. Xingzhen slowly said, "The old prince is his own, but it's okay."

Yi? nodded slightly to Mianyu, and then said: "The Western Yi has been attacking fiercely for several days, with great casualties in the soldiers, and the soldiers are quite tired. The monk Wang and Peng Yulin have been asking for reinforcements for several days, hoping that a new force can go to rescue."

Xingzhen pondered for a moment and asked back, "Who else can be mobilized by Zuojin?"

Yi? said in embarrassment: "Only the military horses in the capital can be mobilized..."

Xingzhen also knew that this was the truth, but the capital city could not transfer a large number of military horses. When she was in a dilemma, Mianyu suddenly spoke: "Empress Dowager, there is also Xishan Ruijian Camp that can be mobilized."

Yi? pondered and said: "The soldiers from Xishan Ruijian Camp have a net worth of more than 10,000, and most of them are green camp soldiers. If you have been distracted for a long time, I'm afraid..." The green camp soldiers of Xishan Ruijian Camp were not included in Yi?'s calculations at the beginning, because the troops of this unit have been distracted for a long time, they really dare not use them.

Mian Yu said: "The troops of Ruijian Camp have indeed been separated for a long time, but now the country is in danger. If you pull it up and resist it for a while, the strong scene is also OK."

After thinking for a while, Xingzhen said, "Let the old prince lead the troops to go." Mianyu immediately thanked her for grace. Yi? Seeing this, she was not willing to dissuade her. She thought to herself that the old boy would leave with more than 10,000 people, and she would save some trouble in the capital.

Mianyu received the order and returned to the mansion. He immediately summoned his subordinates to prepare for the military service. It was only in the evening that he was busy. After using a bowl of white fungus and pear porridge, Mianyu was about to go to bed. Suddenly, an old housekeeper came to report quietly: "Master, someone is coming from the palace." Mianyu immediately ordered someone to take him into the study to have a secret talk.

The visitor dressed up as a guard, but there was no beard on his face. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he was a eunuch. Mian Yu exchanged a few greetings and asked, "How is the Empress Dowager, okay?"

The eunuch frowned and said, "It's not good. The Empress Dowager was afraid that the bitch would use medicine to harm him. He prepared all the medicines and diets by himself, but the medicines we prepared were not complete and several medicines were not found. Because the Empress Dowager's disease has not improved."

Mianyou said sadly: "Do you remember those medicines? After a while, I will write them all and send them to the palace. If you ask the Empress Dowager, she will endure it for a few days, and then say that I am ready to take troops out of the capital. Once I meet with Ronglu's soldiers, I will bring troops back to rescue the coach."

The eunuch also cried and said, "The Queen Mother has been hoping that the old prince can correct the situation as soon as possible. A few days ago, the Queen Mother regretted it and said she shouldn't have believed others' words. She rashly set an excuse and gave the man an excuse. As a result, the great situation was completely ruined."

Mianyu sighed and said, "It's not anyone's fault. That bitch is already ready to take action. Even if there is no play of the Meridian Gate petition, she has other ways to start it. But now, with this incident, this bitch already believes in me completely. This time, this time, the time for me to show off my strength is clear.

The eunuch nodded and said, "The Queen Mother has an edict here and handed it over to the old prince. After the old prince arrives in Tianjin, he can declare the edict in public. The Queen Mother said that things are no longer necessary to cover up anything. She just puts a clear banner and does it with a clear sword and a spear."

After receiving the imperial edict, Mianyu nodded and said, "After arriving in Tianjin, I will fight for military power first and join forces with Hengfu and others. Once the time is right, I will join forces with foreigners. Naturally, I will issue a large number of manifestos to the world and ask for this imperial edict to inform the world to calm the enemy down and fight against the thieves!"

The eunuch praised Mianyou with great satisfaction. After the conversation, Mianyou's housekeeper presented a few medicines, and the eunuch left the palace with him.

After the eunuch left, Mian Yu summoned the butler to find a doctor and asked him to see the medicines. After reading them, the doctor said, "These medicines are mostly used to treat stroke."

After listening, Mian You's brows were locked, and after waving her left and right, she pondered alone in the study room. After a while, she turned around and knelt in front of the Buddha's niche in the study room and prayed: "Great compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless the Queen Mother's health and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty..."

On the third day, the troops of various units were about to stop, and Mian Yu led more than 13,000 soldiers from Xishan Ruijian Camp to Tianjin. In a day, they passed Tongzhou and were only one day away from Tianjin.

After camping that night, Hengfu brought local gentry to work hard with wine and food. Mianyu immediately summoned Hengfu. After resigning, Hengfu whispered: "Old prince, the chieftain of Chahar, Qingjun, has already negotiated with me in secret. Because the war was tight a few days ago, Senggelinqin's troops avoided the battle and protected themselves. They sent Chahar and other troops to resist the Yi soldiers. Qingjun and others had many complaints, so Qingjun was willing to surrender to us."

Mian Yu stroking his hands and said, "More than 20,000 people in Chahar's troops plus Ronglu's troops, we have the help of the barbarians. The overall situation has been decided this time!" (To be continued...)
