As soon as he entered the Russian Embassy, ​​Cixi, who was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of his Russian friends, scolded Igonatiev, who had been anxious in the embassy, ​​and Putiyatin who followed her. The young empress dowager had a big temper and a good mouth, which was well known to everyone in the Qing Dynasty, but this was the first time she did not even give the face of foreign friends like today.

Although her face was ugly and her words were still sarcastic, Igonatiev and Putiyatin had no strength to refute. They had been making trouble for almost half a night, and it was almost dawning, but the entire inner city was still making a big fuss, and Yi Xin and others were still stubbornly hiding in the small Forbidden City that they thought was simply a small Forbidden City. What else can I say? I complained that I dare not use cannons?

Why was Hongzhang's army so powerful that it still caught the back of the Qing Gate without cannons? What's more, why didn't Li Hongzhang's soldiers stop burning the Yiwang Temple at the beginning, causing trouble to the neighbors. The southern half of Mi Lane in Dongjiang was burned in a mess, almost affecting his own embassy. Especially the fire attracted riots from somewhere, and almost "intercepted" the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your understanding of many things in our Qing Dynasty is still on the surface." Cixi was so angry that she gasped. "I said earlier that you underestimated Yi Xin and the others. Anyone who is a thief is always guilty. As long as there is a slight movement, they will be like frightened rabbits. But you just don't believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Since they are prepared in the palace and cannot attack for a while, why don't you hurry up and calm the mobs in the inner city?"

Speaking of this, Cixi's white face was even more terrifying. She suddenly pointed at Li Hongzhang, who was hunching beside the door. Her originally sharp voice became more and more sharp and harsh, "Li Hongzhang, you have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty and saved me twice (the first time was to force the Russians to fight Yi Xin, and the second time happened not long ago. When Cixi's carriage was about to approach the Russian Embassy under Ronglu's escort, suddenly a group of Qing soldiers intercepted them head-on. If it weren't for Li Hongzhang's timely arrival, the empress dowager would have died among these chaotic troops), but you are a real bastard. How many times did I tell you that those who accomplish great things must be in mind.

Kuanguang, look at you again, your body still exudes the rotten air of you poor Han people, and you are petty. What are you anxious to burn a ancestral hall now? Do you know, your fire has ignited how many fires in the capital? Holding books every day, I am afraid that the world will not be able to hold you anymore, why don’t you use your brain? Today is not a war, but just a few rebellious slaves. Even those dog slaves can only hold on until dawn, but as long as they are in the besieged palace where flies cannot fly out of one, they will be more afraid when they see the whole city quietly as if everything has happened, they will be more afraid than seeing a messy capital city!"

"Pu..." Li Hongzhang knelt on the ground with sweat, his whole body shook into sieve, "Too... Queen Mother, I know the guilt..."

"I'll talk about it later if you're not guilty," Cixi snorted hatefully and pointed her hand out of the door. "I'll go with Ronglu immediately to calm down all the trouble you caused. Our Russian friends are in charge of the palace, so you don't need to get involved."

"Yes...yes...slaves will go right away..." Li Hongzhang quickly got up.

"You... you are a little worse than Bai Wei." Cixi looked at Li Hongzhang who was retreating to the door in disgrace and sighed. Then, she turned to Igonatiev and Putiyatin, "Two sirs, I have said a little more today, but I can't say it."

"Understand..." Igonatiev nodded awkwardly.

"Actually... Actually... it seems that we have made a mistake in judgment now. But..." Putiyatin looked at the closed door, "Mr. Li Hongzhang is still very capable. If you blame him so much, will you..."

"Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Haha...hehe... Queen Mother, you want to force Lord Li Hongzhang to compete with Lord Bai Wei. Gao Ming... It's really good... Except for him, Li Hongzhang doesn't want to continue working in the officialdom, otherwise, hehe..." Puti Yating really felt more and more that the empress dowager was extraordinary.

"Your Majesty," Igonatiev looked at Cixi humbly, "In your opinion, I will temporarily put the palace and concentrate my efforts to stabilize the whole city. But can you be sure that Yi Xin and the others will be willing to surrender in a short period of time?"

"It's not that I don't want to fight," Cixi sighed softly. "Although I have calmed down Guiliang and his gang, the other people outside the palace are still quite powerful. If they don't suppress and pacify as soon as possible, it will cause us a lot of trouble. In addition... In addition, from the one who could run to the Old Summer Palace to attack me, I thought of a problem. According to the news from Bai Wei, the team was actually a horse team that Zhongyi saved. There was no such horse team around the capital. So, where did they come from?"

"You mean... they secretly drew troops from outside and returned to Beijing?" Putiyatin was stunned.

"I can only explain this way. Yi Xin is not a confused person." Cixi nodded slightly, "The most important thing is more than that. Since they dare to draw troops back to Beijing, it is impossible for them to have only this one. This is what I am most worried about. As for the servants in the palace..."

Cixi stomped a few steps slowly, and her "high heels" clattered on the wooden floor. For a moment, she stopped and looked at Igonatiev and Putiyatin with big watery eyes. "If they insist on surviving today's day and waiting until night, then let the Li Hongzhang, who likes to play with fire, enjoy his appetite, no matter who he is, burn... and burn the entire palace with fire."

"This..." Igonatiev and Putiyatin looked at each other in surprise.

"When the time comes, I will say that it is Yi Xin and other dog slaves who are holding the emperor's back." Cixi smiled faintly, "The toad on both legs can't be found, but who can't be found on both legs? The Qing Dynasty lacks anything, but there is no shortage of people."

For Senggelinqin, who finally entered the inner city from Chongwen Gate, every step was too difficult. Although Yi Xin and Duanhua made appropriate arrangements for the candidates for the Nine Gates of the inner city, due to Yi Xin's hesitation, there was actually no real specific response plan at all. The troops that were originally loyal to Yi Xin's party had no specific attack targets after the incident began, and there was no unified identification sign. In addition, they didn't know that Yi Xin and others turned against each other, and the gunfire in the palace suddenly became messy.

Just like the army that Cixi encountered near the Tsarist Russian Embassy in Mixiang, Dongjiang. The generals led the team were in a hurry and wanted to attack the Russian embassy and restrain the Tsarist Russian troops attacking the palace. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Cixi and the others. The generals led the team did not realize at the beginning that they were meeting the opponent, but mistakenly thought that they were just a friendly army to attack the Tsarist Russian Embassy like him. It was only because he recognized Ronglu in the other party's army that he changed his judgment.

Unfortunately, just as the two sides had just begun to fight, Li Hongzhang, who had received the imperial edict from Cixi to rush to the embassy, ​​rushed out in half. Tang Dingkui and Cheng Xueqi, the two powerful generals under Li Hongzhang, were definitely not familiar with the officials in the capital. The general who led the team thought that his reinforcements had come, and was buried in a pool of blood in a daze. As soon as the official died, the remaining soldiers collapsed.

Now Senggelinqin encounters this problem. Deshengmen and Andingmen are lost at the same time. He concluded that the main force of Tsarist Russia must attack Di'anmen nearby. Therefore, as soon as he entered Chongwenmen, he commanded his troops to quickly advance north and punched the Tsarist Russians who attacked Di'anmen in the diagonal thorn. But no one knew that when he walked away, he saw that there were almost all kinds of chaos soldiers. After hitting this, he called him wrong and was beaten again if he didn't hit him. In the end, Senggelinqin gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever loves his mother is, he will kill him as long as he blocks the road."

Let’s go all the way, let alone the elite soldiers have already become tired troops. When he barely approached Di'anmen, he had not yet considered whether to launch an attack immediately or take a breath for a while, the troops led by Li Hongzhang and Ronglu followed closely and bit them.
