Chapter 428: The Forbidden City's Shock (6)

.There is still no consensus in the Forbidden City. In the charm of the Western Building in Changchun Garden, Cixi, after using all her skills, had successfully completed a transaction with her loyal and righteous president Yi Huan of the Qing Dynasty.

Prince Chun Yihuan was not sick. Prince Chun, who was only fourteen years old, was pushed to the throne of loyalty and rescue of the President. Prince Chun, who is less than seventeen years old, knows in his heart that he can become a "young hero" who commands the first new army of more than 100,000 Qing Dynasty, was completely the credit of the "sister-in-law and Queen Mother". Although he once stood on the side of the sixth brother Yixin without hesitation on the issue of Cixi's withdrawal of the curtain, at that time, he actually

It was not that he was dissatisfied with the "sister-in-law and Empress Dowager"'s back. He just hated Li Hongzhang. Ronglu and others used his "soybean bag" too much as dry food. In Zhongyi's rescue, he could hardly leave his presidential office. Especially after Li Hongzhang entered the decision-making level of the coalition headquarters, few people were willing to pay attention to him as the "big president". It is precisely because of this that Prince Chun joined the ranks of seizing power.

Cixi was not a good person. Although she was "not out of the gate and not out of the two gates", she knew all the materials in the Qing Dynasty. In order to be able to re-enter the Forbidden City, her general counsel was dedicated and finally unified the opinions of the three giants and decided to use force to help her regain the lost glory.

Cixi was really grateful to the Russian friends who died of her. Not only did she fall into the arms of the general consultant's general counsel's arms at the moment when she heard this final decision, she cried like rain and cried in a mess, but she also really "comfortted" this old friend who ran around for her Qing Dynasty and almost never touched the ground. However, after the matter was done, Cixi denied the plan formulated by Putiyatin.

Through the descriptions of Li Hongzhang, Putiyatin and others, Cixi knew what was happening in the capital now. After careful consideration, she was not as optimistic as her Russian friends thought. She smelled another breath from it. She did not believe in the nonsense about the "assassin", but felt that the slaves such as Yi Xin in the Forbidden City were clearly guarding for something. After thinking about it, there was only one reason to say that, that is, Yi Xin and his dog slaves knew about Li Hongzhang's secret return to Beijing, and also guessed that something would happen in the capital. They were hoping to protect themselves.

Cixi never doubted that his Russian friends were powerful. However, if only one or two thousand people wanted to successfully capture the capital, it would be a bad thing. What's more, all the civil and military forces in the court had their own forces. Once they could not regain the throne as soon as possible, it would be even more difficult to predict what the court would be in chaos. Ei Xin and other dog slaves were doing the same, and they would be pushed into the eighteenth level of hell with just one turn.

So, Cixi naturally considered Yihuan's head.

Sure enough, without any shirks, Prince Chun Yihuan sat in front of her. Without wasting much talk, Cixi even took out the ghostly work of Yi Xin and others in the Forbidden City from the mouth of this "too tender" brother-in-law.

Facing Yihuan, Cixi never mentioned the kindness of promoting him, but was gentle and considerate. Her brother-in-law was about to be seventeen, so it was time to marry a concubine to enjoy the happiness of the world. Just in time, her girl was "beautiful as a fairy", and she was definitely not inferior to her. Such a beautiful thing would be like a kiss! Also, since ancient times, heroes have been young, and our Prince Chun is not young, but she is very handsome and smart. Besides,

Sister-in-law, I was just about the same age as you, and I was able to help the late emperor deal with the government affairs, right? Li Hongzhang and Ronglu didn't take you as a little prince in his heart, which was simply blinding their twin eyes. At present, the Qing Dynasty is in danger and storm, and there are few pillars in the court. Our Prince Chun must take on heavy responsibilities at such a critical moment, and we must never betray the national interests of the Qing Dynasty like Yi Xin, Zai Yuan, Duan Hua and others.

Cixi drew a sweet and fragrant pie for Yihuan. Sister-in-law, I was standing with my curtains, not like those with ulterior motives, but sister-in-law, I like power. It’s so tiring to keep the curtains, especially in summer, sitting behind the curtains with little wind, it’s not so comfortable? After all, sister-in-law, I’m not all for our ancestral estate of the Qing Dynasty. Look, look at our great foundation, and see, what’s wrong with our great foundation, alas... If I had listened to my sister-in-law, why would it be like this?

So, in the future, our Qing Dynasty will rely more on you, Prince Chun. Sister-in-law, I only presided over the inner palace to help everyone choose good things. As for more detailed matters, it depends on your Prince Chun to lead everyone to do it. When talking about this, Cixi smiled and comforted Yihuan. There was no need to breathe with people like Li Hongzhang. Han officials are the dogs who were shaking their tails and begging for mercy. At any time, they can only throw a few pieces of meat when they are used, and they must be severely suppressed when they are not used. They must never be allowed to form too much of their own power.

Among them, Cixi also specially used Li Hongzhang as an example, saying that although Li Hongzhang is sincerely commendable, he is too greedy. Such a person is easy to use, but he must be guarded against. Li Hongzhang cultivated his own power in the rescue of the loyalty and righteousness. These things cannot be hidden from you, let alone my sister-in-law. Don’t rush to settle these accounts now, be patient, learn to take advantage of the situation. When the bandits are completely wiped out and the world is peaceful, if he still doesn’t know how to deal with it, then we will settle the new and old accounts with him.

At this point, Cixi also made her plan to Yihuan to leave the curtain again. Since the Yellow River defense line was no longer there, in order to prevent problems, even at the last moment, the Qing Dynasty could still continue to deal with the rioters. The Qing Dynasty would move the capital back to Fengtian. The capital would be awarded as territory to him Prince Chun, and he would be fully responsible for all military and political affairs outside the pass. Cixi also asked Yihuan to rest assured that the relocation of the capital was accompanied by the sage's departure from the pass, and would not take away more troops, so as not to affect his future confrontation with the rebels. In addition, she would also send special envoys to pay homage to the Russian Tsar as soon as possible. Even if she lost all her money, she would also beg her Russian friends to support the Qing Dynasty's war with all their strength and swear to be a slave to the country.

Cixi's words were pleasant and sounded happy. Yihuan felt more and more that only the sister-in-law in front of him was his true confidant. In the end, when Cixi mentioned the little emperor Tongzhi who was still under the control of Yixin and the others, Yihuan was so beautiful that she could hardly find the north.

Cixi was a little disdainful of her biological son who was used by Yi Xin and others to "held the emperor to command the princes". She hated that the child was older at the age of three and older at the age of seven. Although the young emperor was only one year old, under the education of Yi Xin and others, she would definitely not be alone. She even predicted that even if he was able to control the court alone, the young emperor would definitely be a prodigal son who liked to seek flowers and willows like his father. In order to survive the generations of the Qing Dynasty, she frowned a pair of thin willow eyebrows and looked sad to ask Yi Xin to get married as soon as possible so that she could have a child early. She was confident that as long as he married her sister, she would definitely have a fat son. She believed that her sister would definitely have this ability.

"At that time, I, both my aunt and I, always give a gift to my children. The late emperor has no children except that incompetent little thing. We can't leave the foundation of the Qing Dynasty to restless people, right?" Cixi giggled and laughed.

No matter how stupid Yihuan was, he understood the meaning of the words of the "sister-in-law and Empress Dowager". Of course, he would not be confused. The next thing was that his sister-in-law should ask him to do something. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Liu Ge and others.

"Uncle Six and others actually think that I am too fierce." As if seeing through Yihuan's thoughts at this moment, Cixi sighed quietly, "Sister-in-law, I am a woman's family, where does you have the murderous aura like you men? Besides, everyone is their own family, and they really want to make trouble to the death, so why don't they be laughed at by outsiders? Even the common people know that a family scandal should not be made public, right?"

"Yes...this is the reason..." Yihuan's voice was a little weak.

"Sister-in-law, the reason why I invited Uncle Qi to come today is that I know that Uncle Qi is a reasonable and kind-hearted person. Sister-in-law, I just don't want to make things worse, and I'm even more afraid of blood."

"Then...what can I help the Empress Dowager?" After hearing Cixi say this, Yihuan finally gritted her teeth and stood up...

The air in the Forbidden City was almost frozen.

In the morning, the personnel sent to Tianjin to inquire brought back the verified exact news that night. The Russian Second Fleet was wiped out. Not only that, the Taiping Red Army had already arrived ashore through Beitang and Dagu. Red flags were waving outside Tianjin, people shouted and horses neighed, smoke rolled in the city, and artillery fire was everywhere. In fact, these inquiry reports did not approach Tianjin at all, but stopped when they arrived in Wuqing after passing Langfang.

In Wuqing City, there were Russian sailors defeated in front of him. After some inquiries, they realized that if the headquarters of the General Army of the Capital had not sent a small team of troops to force the action of the defeated soldiers, the defeated soldiers would have already run to the capital. However, although the inquirers had obtained the defeat from the Russians and locals, they could not find out the real details of the defeated battlefield ahead. Because, as soon as the battle situation was mentioned at that time, the defeated Russian soldiers would subconsciously look up at the sky, their faces were pale, their eyes were full of panic, and they just dared not speak.

The news was called Yi Xin, Zai Yuan, Duan Hua and others, and Senggelinqin, who had very accurate predictions, all looked at each other and was silent. It was too fast, how could it be so fast? Even if the Russians were mud-made, they would not lose a fleet in just three or two days, but they also lost two turrets that were claimed to be very strong? I remember that when the Russians proposed to rebuild the Beitang and Dagu Forts and build a military port, the Qing Dynasty endured the pain and took out hundreds of thousands of taels of white silver from the treasury!

Could it be that the Taiping Red Army really had wings?

Before Yi Xin and others could figure out the problem in Tianjin, a more serious and life-and-death fact was placed in front of them again. Fan Wenrui, who ran sweating and his throat was hoarse, brought shocking news. Prince Chun Yihuan had already guided the Russian team stationed in the Old Summer Palace to occupy Deshengmen and Andingmen without any effort, and was currently moving towards the Forbidden City. Not only that, Qiying, who was invited to the Russian Embassy in the evening, also secretly sent someone back to a urgent report. The Russian Embassy was full of civil war, saying that there was a major military operation to be carried out, and it was likely to be targeted at the Forbidden City.

"Damn it, this damn Yihua!" Duan Hua jumped up suddenly. How could that be?

Yi Xin knew what Duan Hua was worried about. He subconsciously looked outside the door and rubbed his hands tightly, "The garrison soldiers in the Forbidden City are all Lao Qi's subordinates... This..."

"King, although the Zhongyi Rescue Battalion of the Forbidden City is a subordinate of Prince Chun, except for some officers, others may not be willing to listen to his transfer." Fan Wenrui took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Yi Xin. "These people above were locked up quickly and sent someone with a heart to take over the army. In addition, on the way to come, Bei Zhi had sent people to Liangxiang to inform the people who were left there by the Monk King and General Mianxun, and quickly entered the capital to quell the rebellion. The defenders of other city gates also reported the news together."

"Wenrui, you have really made great contributions!" Yi Xin looked at Fan Wenrui gratefully, and without even looking, he quickly handed the list to Duan Hua, "Send someone to do it quickly."

"This...where is where to find the general who will take them at this time..." Duan Hua stomped his feet in a hurry, and suddenly looked at Fan Wenrui and smiled, "I'm so fucking crazy. Wenrui, take your company with you and your horse to take over the internal defense. Anyone on the list, no matter how fucking you, will be mortified to me on the ground!"

"This is the best!" Yi Xin nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at Senggelinqin, Mian Xun and Gui Liang, "Before the Russians have not blocked the palace, King of Monk, Lord Gui and Lord Mian Xun, you will leave the palace immediately and control the various military and horses in the capital. You cannot let them fall into the hands of Yi Huan and the Russians. As long as the Russians really dare to attack the palace, beat me hard!"

After saying that, he looked at Duan Hua and Zaiyuan again, "Everyone in the palace, and all the officials, eunuchs, and all of them must go to the four gates to guard them strictly. As for the emperor, I will personally guard them."
