331 The Dispute between the Two Houses
An Dehai was ordered by Cixi to arrest Ermao, and according to her original intention, Ermao should have been put on death row at noon yesterday, but because the opinions of the empress dowager of the two palaces were not unified for the time being, he was placed under surveillance and controlled for a day.
And now, the big net that Sister Wu put away has scooped up more than a thousand rebels, and after interrogation, it has also been proved that these people belong to Xiao Letian's peripheral spying, which is already ironclad evidence, Xiao Letian's power must not stay.
Cixi thought that her sister, her sister, would be able to correct Ermao on the spot, but she never thought that the Criminal Department would receive an order from the Empress Dowager Ci'an not to kill anyone.
Now Cixi couldn't hold back her anger, and all kinds of dissatisfaction with Ci'an for a long time broke out at once, and she roared and ordered An Dehai to arrest Ermao even if she used to rob it, and even killed it with a cane if necessary.
The vicious dog that has been strictly ordered by the master is always the most ferocious, and An Dehai took a large group of eunuchs and a dozen guards to roll up a road of smoke and dust from the Forbidden City to the shore of the North Sea.
"The queen mother is auspicious, the slave is ordered by the master to take Ermao, and please forgive the Queen Mother for the crime of disturbance..."
"Stop... Before the mourners have spoken, you dare to kidnap people? Who taught you the rules..."
An Dehai fell to his knees and kowtowed, "Lafayette is angry, Lafayette is angry...... The slave just obeys orders, and countless people have confessed under the torture of the Criminal Department, these two Mao are the rebellious Xiao Letian's subordinates, this kind of killing can not be left..."
Ci'an didn't expect An Dehai to dare to fight back, and his angry eyes were full of gold stars, "Okay, good, what a good slave, I just said one sentence, you actually used ten sentences to return the favor...... Come on, don't give me a slap yet..."
At this time, An Dehai carried forward the spirit of being shameless and shameless, kneeling on the ground and slapping his mouth first, "Lafayette, don't be angry, the slave will come by himself, and the slave will come by himself...... One, two, three......"
An Dehai was still counting while he was big, and on the surface he looked deferential, but his eyes kept turning, and he was estimating the time when the reinforcements would arrive.
Just after he slapped his mouth for more than a dozen times, a group of eunuchs ran all the way from the direction of the Forbidden City in the south, and one of them was being surrounded by people and rushed straight to the chaotic scene.
"Anderhai... You dog, you can't do such a trivial thing, let you catch a thief, how can you make the queen mother angry? If my sister has any discomfort, you have a hundred dog heads that are not enough to cut off..."
"Yes, yes...... The minion knew that he was wrong, and the minion opened his mouth...... Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven......"
Cixi didn't have time to deal with An Dehai, who was playing treasure, she walked to Ci'an in two steps and curtsied, and then pointed at Ermao and said, "Sister, what do you need to say about this kind of rebellion, let's kill it directly, it's a waste of food to keep it......"
"No..."Ci'an's expression of kindness in the past was reversed, and he shouted sharply, "Ermao can't be killed, and the more than 1,000 people in prison can't be killed casually, and we can't listen to and believe before the situation is clear, and we can't act rashly..."
Cixi also ran into evil today, and she shouted in a sharp voice: "Sister, what does this mean? A dog slave who is indiscriminate, don't I have the right to deal with my sister? This Xiao Letian has thousands of eyeliners planted in the capital alone, what does he want to do? Isn't this just a rebellion?"
"Ermao, this dog thing, has been Xiao Letian in the palace from the beginning, if it weren't for the envelopment of this Sun Monkey in the past few years, I would have wanted to do it a long time ago, and now that Xiao Lotian is gone, what's the use of keeping him?"
Ci'an has always known Cixi's ambitions, and she also knows that this sister is unconvinced of herself, but in recent years, the government has been unstable, the south has made trouble, and the Anglo-French alliance has come to the north, and Ci'an has always tolerated her for the sake of overall stability.
I didn't expect that today Cixi actually kicked her nose in the face, and completely forgot that she was just a Queen Mother of the West Palace, and she completely forgot that her status as the Queen Mother of the East Palace was far above her.
"Okay, good, my sister is really angry enough today..."Speaking of this, Ci'an stood up from the chair, pointed to the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards around him and shouted, "Everyone retreat for me, there are no idle people within ten steps, my sister and I have a private conversation..."
At the critical moment, Ci'an still chose to focus on the overall situation, and under her strict orders, people began to retreat, and no one dared to stay within ten steps.
Ermao was in the middle of a group of strong eminators, he looked at the appearance coldly, the two queen dowagers quarreled fiercely, but the voice was very low, everyone didn't know what the empress dowager of the two palaces was talking about, everyone only knew that the atmosphere had become more and more depressing.
Ci'an said in a low voice, "You want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I also want to kill the rebellion in this world, but can you answer my question before you start?"
"You said that Xiao Lotian must be dead, where is the evidence? You said that the French gave you a clear guarantee, can the French be trusted? You want to snatch Lotte for the imperial court, how are you going to rob it? Who will do it, and who will coordinate the interests of the Americans?"
"My good sister, the Europa newspaper has made it very clear that Xiao Lotian has now fallen into the hands of the Prussians and his life and death are unknown, so if we want to find evidence, we should also go to Prussia to find it... But now there are no Prussian envoys in Dongjiaomin Lane......"
Ci'an endured the anger in her heart, and enlightened this sister little by little in a calm tone, she knew very well in her heart that the more delicate the situation, the more the court itself could not be chaotic, and the current Qing Dynasty was like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness, but she couldn't afford to toss.
But Cixi, a woman exactly like in the historical records, is good at the inside and faint outside, this woman balances the domestic political situation, that is, a self-taught genius, but once she sets her eyes on the whole world, she will immediately dizzy.
The historical shame of the late Qing Dynasty is even somewhat ridiculous, when a nation experienced two Opium Wars, one Sino-Japanese War, and in the middle there was the Annam War against France and the Xinjiang War against Russia...... After a big failure, he was able to issue a declaration of war against all nations.
This extremely stupid declaration of war came from the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and it was this declaration of war that directly triggered the Gengzi Incident when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing.
Okay, this topic is far away, and it is a bit unfair to use the black cauldron of the previous life to put the head of Cixi in this life. But Cixi's expression was really the same as the historical record, and he couldn't listen to Ci'an's words at all.
"Sister, you're so confused, let's talk about it, aren't you just using Ermao's words to refute me? We all know who Ermao is, will he tell us the truth?"
"Hehe, I don't know anything about Prussia and Germany, and I don't want to figure it out, I know a little bit that Britain and France are not easy to mess with, and the Russians and Americans are not fuel-efficient lamps, as for that Prussia, I also asked Yi before, and it has not been unified until now, and it is the same as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what is the terrible ......"
Ci'an didn't know how to organize her language now, and she found that Cixi had become a copper pea that could not be eaten with oil and salt, and she could no longer listen to anything.
"Okay, okay, I don't care what you think, you can't kill this Ermao, and the prisoners detained in the Criminal Department and the Internal Affairs Office can only be interrogated, not killed... That's what I'm going to do......"
With a bang, Cixi squatted the tea bowls on the table, she stood up and said bitterly, "Sister, why are you so stubborn, do you know that this is a good opportunity for us to be full of people? The conditions of the French have been clearly stated, as long as we help the French emperor to vent his anger, France will give us full support......
"Didn't the Russians make trouble in Xinjiang? The French agreed to exert pressure, knowing that Russia was defeated by France... There are also special industrial zones, the French said that after the market, France will pay for us to do it, and we can even sell weapons and warships at the lowest price......"
"My good sister, if we seize such a big opportunity, the country will be more stable..."
Ci'an was completely speechless, and said in his heart, "Is it true that the French have become good people?" You just burned down the Old Summer Palace six years ago, and now it has actually become a country of grace in your mouth, and even an ally that you can rely on?
"You, you...... Are you trying to anger me? You say that Prussia is not credible, but can the French be credible? You have forgotten all the hatred of six years ago? I don't care what you think, anyway, the situation is not clear, you can't act rashly...... Can't you wait a few months and a half a year before you start?"
"Sister, don't miss the opportunity and never come again..."
"Shut up, I'm the East Palace, don't force me to ask for the will of the emperor......"
In a word, it is like a cold wind blowing across the North Sea, and everyone seems to have fallen into an ice cellar even though it is summer. Ermao's previous words were not heard clearly, but this sentence Ci'an said with affection, and the tone was higher than the previous ones, and Ermao heard it clearly.
"God, Godfather is simply a god, he once said before, Ci'an is indisputable in nature, the emperor will definitely give her a Shangfang sword to support her, I didn't expect it to be a secret will..."
"My good daddy... You are really a god, how can you guess everything, how did you do it?"
It's not just Ermao who was shocked, everyone present was stupid, many humble people even wanted to prick their ears deafening, this kind of royal secret, the more you know, the faster you die.
Ci'an also regretted it, and she couldn't understand why she lost her mouth for a while, but Cixi's reaction was faster, and she saw her take out the level of an Oscar-winning actress, and tears came out of her eyes.
"Sister... You can unjustly kill your sister's loyalty, woo woo woo...... Isn't my sister's qiē all for the Qing Dynasty?"
As she spoke, Cixi's knees weakened and she knelt down directly for Ci'an. Cixi knelt down, and everyone present couldn't stand still, and fell to their knees in an uproar.
The Queen Mother was angry...... The Queen Mother was angry...... The Queen Mother is angry......"
Ci'an, surrounded by the crowd, was really like a lonely person at this moment.
