1430 Showdown between the two empress dowagers
Cixi slumped directly in the chair, she knew that her son had already broken into a catastrophe, and the already fragile court situation had completely torn Jaechun apart with such a toss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's go, let's go to Jingshan, go to Qiwanglou, I'm going to say hello to my sister!"
At the critical moment, Cixi thought of her sister again, although the two had different political views, but there was one thing their interests were unified, that is, Jaechun's status.
Ci'an has no children, he is the head of the queen mother of the two palaces, and with the support of Zaichun's son, she is a powerful queen mother, if there is an emperor, then his status as the queen mother will gradually be marginalized.
Ci'an hates Cixi but definitely doesn't hate Jae-chun, that's the truth.
At this time, Ci'an seemed to have realized that Cixi was going to come to see her, so she warmed a pot of flower carvings early, and asked the imperial chef to make a few side dishes.
Cixi wanted to confide in Ci'an when she met, she wanted to ask Cixi to save the little emperor, but Ci'an raised her hand to stop her words, just poured a glass of warm wine and gave Cixi a piece of fish.
"Try it, this is the chef recommended by Fuqing, the vice minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen, I heard that I have learned cooking skills in Fusang for a few years, and I am good at making puffer fish, especially this sashimi has a unique flavor, my sister must taste it!"
Cixi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, yes, I am a fish now, you are a knife, okay, if you let me eat it, I will eat it, and I will fight if it is poisonous. The ruthless Cixi swallowed the puffer fish meat in one bite, and swallowed it without even tasting any taste.
Ci'an smiled faintly and waved his hand to let Zhou Daoying take the other eunuchs and palace maids down, and only the two sisters were left in the room.
"Actually, I already knew that you had asked for this day, and I had been waiting for it for a long time...... I'm not saying cool things to you, I'm just trying to tell you that the path you took before is wrong!"
"Jae-chun is your own son, and no one can replace your position, this is the consensus of the government and the opposition, so you want to go further! Don't be in a hurry to deny it, everyone is a smart person, what do you want I don't know?"
"You deliberately destroyed the secret decree of the former emperor from my hands, aren't you afraid that I will use the hand of the former emperor to eradicate you? And your ultimate ideal is just to be a powerful queen mother, at best, you want to be a filial piety...... If I think of you badly, do you want to be a martial artist?"
Cixi, who was frightened by the cold tone, knelt down with a pop, she is also a smart person who can bend and stretch, at this time, if she doesn't kneel and straighten her waist, she is looking for death.
The distribution of power between the DPRK and China is like this, Cixi and Prince Gong are considered to be in a group, everyone regards them as conservatives, and Ci'an plus Fuqing still has a large number of officials who belong to the radical reformers, and then there are factions in these two factions, and the Qingliu forces are also mixed in, and the forces of the Hunan army and other local governors are also mixed in it.
The situation in the late Qing Dynasty was chaotic!
Cixi is ostensibly the leader of the conservative faction, and even the devil six has to listen to her, but no one should forget that she is also Jaechun's mother, and what her son does will also affect his mother.
Today's reckless behavior has made the conservatives disgusted with Cixi, and there has been a deep rift within the conservatives.
Not to mention anything else, in this black and oppressive Forbidden City, it is true to protect your own life first, if the situation is really grim to the point that it is like fire and water, do you dare to poison Cixi when those people do?
Ci'an looked at her lightly and said softly, "You should have knelt a long time ago, if it weren't for you, the Qing Dynasty would not have been like this......"
Ci'an's face suddenly changed to an abnormal anger, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time all broke out at this moment, "In the past, we were indeed not united in the court, but since the palace change in Xinyounian, at least we have completed the scene!"
"Minister Gu's group was knocked out of power, and the court has not seen a harmony for many years, and it is because everyone works together that we finally defeated Changmao, and suppressed the hundreds of thousands of Hunan troops, and suppressed Zeng Shaved!"
"What kind of mess were there at that time, conservatives and reformers? In the final analysis, everyone's contradictions were based on some interests and money...... Look at it now, the court is already like fire and water, and the contradiction has risen to the top of the mind!"
"This is the most terrible thing, because we can find a way to earn more money because of the quarrel over the silver, and because of the quarrel over the official position, we can coordinate with many parties and even rotate to be officials...... But if this person's thinking is different, this quarrel will not end!"
There was a crisp snap, Ci'an slapped Cixi hard, and the Empress Dowager Dong's tears flowed down angrily, "When will the mourning family be willing to be this reformer? What do I change, isn't my purpose the same as yours? Am I just thinking about making Zaichun an adult as soon as possible? Who cares about bullshit reforms!"
"It's you! It's you who forced me down this road, you ruined my secret will, and you still wanted to poison me, you are so vicious! If the mourning family doesn't pull out a reformer, I won't be able to live......
"It's you stupid! It's your greed that has ruined the court!"
Cixi covered her face, tears crackled down, she was really scared today, she suddenly found that she seemed to be out of control of the situation, how could she, who was strategizing nine years ago, disappear.
Seeing that Ci'an had almost vented, Cixi kowtowed, "My sister's sins can't be washed away by the three rivers, and I won't defend it, I didn't come today to ask my sister to forgive me, I just ask my sister to help a group of Zaichun and help our son!"
"As long as I pass this catastrophe safely, as long as Jaechun can smoothly govern the country, I will never come out again in my life...... I beg my sister to have mercy, don't rush my face, rush Zaichun's face!"
Jae-chun is the biggest weakness in Ci An's, thinking of that bright child, the anger in Ci An's heart gradually dissipated.
For more than 200 years, there has been only one monarch who has ascended the throne and the legal system, and all other emperors have come out by competition, and they all have brothers!"
"Only Zaichun has no brothers, he is the only male of the emperor, his inheritance is clean and impeccable, and no one in the government and the opposition has any objections! What a good situation this is, as long as we stabilize and let Zaichun grow up slowly, the power will naturally flow to his hands!"
