In order to correct the behavior of Emperor Kuang, all kinds of roads have been walked, but the most important road has not been taken - asking the queen mother of the two palaces to intervene is the only good way to break the deadlock.

"From the king's point of view," said Prince Gong, "just bother Lan Sun to draw up a secret fold, and go to the two palaces, do you think you can't do it?" ”

This is exactly Li Hongzao's idea, and he also has a draft, but on this occasion, he can't help but say: "How to word, please discuss the rules first." ”

"What do you see?" Prince Gong asked rhetorically.

"I think we should argue from both the perspective of reason and situation, saying that the garden workers have to stop."

"Okay, please write it down first, read the manuscript and then consider it."

"Not only to discuss the reason and the situation, but also to expose the truth." Wen Xiang said, "If you want to say that the people of the Internal Affairs Department know that the project is huge and cannot be completed, they just use this to perfunctory, so that they can get their hands on it." With the shrewdness of the 'west', of course, he refuses to give people a pretense of collecting money. To say that, it is useful! ”

"Yes!" Li Hongzao was heartily convinced.

Bao Jun said: "Then what kind of place to repair to entertain the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces?" No one dared to refute this, "If the emperor says that he wants to repair the three seas, it is not demanding." ”

"Alas!" Prince Gong was a little bored, looked at King Alcohol and Wen Xiang, and said in an inquiring tone: "Just repair the three seas!" Something has to be given anyway. ”

Wen Xiang said slowly: "Since it is to invite the empress dowager of the two palaces to make a decree, why not take a look at the meaning of the two empress dowagers." ”

Prince Gong nodded and made a new conclusion: "First hand the fold to Changchun Palace." As a last resort, take the repair of the three seas as a retreat. ”

"You have this in your heart." Wen Xiang added, "It's best not to repair it, as soon as it spreads, someone will coax it first, why bother to open a road to make money?" ”

This refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Everyone nodded yes and dispersed. Only Prince Alcohol is not leaving, and he still has something to talk to Prince Gong secretly.

Prince Alcohol thinks that since it has alarmed the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, it must be done thoroughly, and the repair of the Old Summer Palace is of course for the two major ends of the treasury and the hearts of the people, but also to prevent the emperor from wearing a micro-line in the name of inspecting the garden.

Everyone didn't dare to say these situations from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, so they might as well expose them now and let the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces know that Xingyuan Gong still has such a big harm.

This suggestion, Prince Gong deeply agreed.

He also has a further idea, so that the Empress Dowager Ming, seeing that everyone opposes the gardener, there is a hidden intention that it is inconvenient to say it clearly, and he can obtain the understanding of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is deeply interested in repairing the garden.

"Then let's go to the palace for a walk!"

The next day, he asked Prince Fu Jin to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager Cixi.

After the emperor inspected the garden workers every time, he changed his clothes and wandered around the downtown area outside the front door, and told the Empress Dowager Cixi in detail, and said that Prince Gong, Prince Alcohol and others were extremely worried, and they had nothing to do, so they had no choice but to ask the Empress Dowager to be the master.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was both shocked and angry, but also infinitely sad and disappointed, I saw the green tendons on her temples beating, every time she encountered this kind of look, she was excited in her heart, and she was a little scared when she saw it.

"The queen mother doesn't have to blame the emperor too much." Alcohol King Fujin persuaded worriedly, "The emperor is an adult in the end, persuade him slowly, and he will definitely listen." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was silent, her mind was very chaotic and she thought a lot.

How could the emperor be like this? Always because after the wedding, between the palace and the palace, there is a lack of interest, and a person lives alone in the Qianqing Palace, which is lonely and unbearable.

If there was no queen, the emperor would not be angry and ignore Concubine Hui, and the original theory began, and on the day after the establishment, the root of today's bane was planted. Thinking of the end layer by layer, I can't wait to abolish the queen with Yi's will.

"Ahem!" She sighed, her expression turned gloomy, "It was a bad mourning family at the beginning." ”

What she meant was that in the matter of establishing the Arut clan as the latter, she was not vigilant enough, her persistence was not strong, her means were not high, and she hesitated and made a big mistake.

This was naturally unguessable in Alcohol King Fujin.

Her mission is to explain her matter, the task has been completed, there is no need to linger, and then she left the palace.

At this time, the secret fold of the empress dowager of the two palaces was handed to the palace, and the empress dowager Cixi read it carefully, and there was unspeakable unhappiness in her heart.

She didn't agree with the "reason" and "potential" she said, and in terms of interest, she felt that she had been hit hard, and on her forty-year-old birthday, she could have had a good time, but who knew that it would have become such a situation!

It's weird, it's just that the son is not angry, if it's not so nonsense, how can he provoke such unpleasant words.

One person was angry for a long time, and when his mood calmed down a little, he looked at the twists and turns again, and felt that he should discuss with the Empress Dowager Ci'an. When he invited her, he read it to her with an excerpt, and mentioned the words of Prince Fu Jin, but he just shook his head and sighed.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was quite calm, although her heart shook and her face was pale, she was able to say a very powerful sentence: "The gardener has to stop!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was always reluctant to say this, but she couldn't insist, so she only said: "The garden is not built with a decree, so why stop the work with a decree now?" ”

"Then tell the emperor and let him give a decree." The Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "The day before yesterday, I heard that after approving Shen Baozhen's performance, he borrowed 2 million taels from the British bank and took it to Taiwan to repair the fort, and Zuo Zongtang borrowed 3 million taels of foreign debt. If it goes on like this, how can you get it? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was silent! After a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's really annoying! ”

When the Empress Dowager Ci'an saw her like this, she shouted: "Come on! When the palace maid approached, she ordered: "See where the emperor is?" ”

The emperor was summoned to Changchun Palace, and when he saw the face of the queen mother of the two palaces, he knew that something was wrong, and he stubbornly smiled and said goodbye. The two "emperors" didn't pay attention to him, but the Empress Dowager Ci'an pointed to the secret fold and motioned him to take it and read it.

When he couldn't see the two lines, the emperor became angry, "How can this be true!" He felt very sad in his heart, and the more he felt that the queen mother of the two palaces, who had withdrawn from the curtain and returned to the government, was unreasonable.

Because of this prejudice, the emperor could not listen to a single sentence of the words in this excerpt, and hurriedly read it, biting his mouth, blinking, and thinking about countermeasures.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was not enthusiastic about the suspension of work, but she thought that the emperor's slight behavior must be investigated. She vaguely had the idea that if the emperor could show repentance and work hard, the matter of stopping work would be left to rest for the time being.

So she sneered slightly and said, "There are some words that are not good to see pen and ink. You're making a lot of trouble, too! What you do, you know. (To be continued.) )
