Luan drove out of the Zhengding Palace and went straight to the train station. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at the train station and got off the sedan chair, and Li Lianying helped the Empress Dowager Cixi get off the sedan chair and walked onto the platform. I saw it, I saw it, Cixi saw the train, and saw the yellow dragon that belonged to her.

She looked at the train section by section, and couldn't understand what it meant. said to Li Lianying: "How can this train go, let it go forward." ”

Li Lianying ordered the train driver to move the train forward slowly. The train moved forward slowly, and Cixi couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and shouted "It's moving!" It's moving! ”

Lean down and take a closer look at the spinning iron wheel underneath. Suddenly, she asked, "What is so powerful that can push so many wheels around?" After speaking, look at Li Lianying.

Li Lianying didn't know either, so she had to answer, so she answered; "It's the first thing, what's the 'steam engine'."

"How was the steam engine made? It's in the front, how can you push the wheels behind? "Cixi is a little too naïve.

"This ......, the minions don't know." Li Lianying was a little embarrassed. Cixi looked at the other ministers, and no one could answer her question.

"Why can't a train only go on the railroad tracks, why can't it go on the ground? Lianying, let this car go backwards, can it be retreated? Li Lianying ordered the train to slowly retreat backwards. Cixi was still staring at the rails and wheels.

"Okay, move on!"

"Stand back!"

In this way, the train is on this section of track, going forward and backward for Lafayette to enjoy.

After watching it for a while, the Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to understand how the train moved and stopped, and nodded at the train, feeling very relieved, and then said to Li Lianying: "Go up and have a look!" ”

So, the train stopped. The drivers and servants above hurriedly got off the car, kneeling beside the car, waiting for Lafayette to board the car.

When others get on the bus, they all use iron ladders, and this way, if it is also used for Galeries Lafayette, is indeed a bit indecent. Therefore, Li Lianying had already ordered the craftsman to make a special ladder for the Queen Mother to board the car.

A special wooden ladder is formed by placing a large wooden board on the door of the car to form a gentle slope, and then covering the board with a yellow carpet.

When he got on the train, Mr. Li walked in front of Lafayette, holding his arm, and on the left and right, he was supported by two little eunuchs, and got on the train without much effort.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Guangxu, Empress Longyu, other concubines, princes and ministers, and accompanying troops all crowded into the train.

A group of concubines, who have never seen a train, have to sit today, naturally they are overjoyed, giggling, and amusing each other. The soldiers of Jiang Weiti, the commander of the Nine Gates, were crowded in a carriage, looking triumphant.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu got on the train, the train drivers and workers got up, boarded the train, and stayed at their posts, waiting for the order to leave.

The order to depart was finally given, and the train drivers and laborers were busy.

The ministers who saw off on the platform, headed by Yuan Shikai, knelt down to see off the holy car. The train started and cheers rang out on the platform. Watching the train slowly move out of the station, the crowd of people seeing them off dispersed one after another.

The train doesn't go fast. Because it was the queen mother and the emperor, she did not seek speed, but only stability, so she traveled thirty or forty miles north every hour. But compared to the sedan chair, it is heaven and earth.

The Empress Dowager Xi sat on the throne, looking out the window, thinking about her thoughts. Suddenly, her mind returned to the train. She always couldn't figure out why the train could go, and she couldn't think of any reason.

——,At 1——,2 o'clock at noon on November 28, the 27th year of Guangxu, the royal train carried the Virgin and the Son of Heaven of the Qing Empire, pulled the whistle, and drove into Yongdingmen Station.

At this time, their courtiers have been eagerly waiting here for a long, long time.

"Galeries Lafayette, it's here! It's time to get to the capital! This is Yongdingmen Station! While Li Lianying's eyes glanced out of the car, she said to the Empress Dowager Cixi with joy.

"It's here, it's finally here!" Galeries Lafayette was a little emotional, and at the same time a little sad.

At this time, Emperor Guangxu poked his head out of the car window. When the ministers saw the Long Live Lord, they knelt down again and shouted again, but Emperor Guangxu behaved indifferently, only looked at everyone, and then retracted his head again.

The ministers had no choice but to get up again. Waiting for the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu to get off.

On the platform, there were a few blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, who were very interesting when they saw this kind of scene, so they came over and took pictures of the train, the crowd, and the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Xi glanced at them, without an expression of hatred, but smiled indifferently, the foreigner was flattered, waved his hand to Lafayette, smiled, and smiled so proudly.

The car stopped steadily, Li Lianying took the palace eunuchs to get out of the car first, and ordered the palace eunuchs to carry out a special ladder to board the car, put it on the car door, and wait for Lafayette to get out of the car.

"Empress Dowager, Luan Yin is ready to stop! Please go back to the palace! ****** knelt down.

"For more than a year, thanks to you waiting here, there is a day to return to Luan, and you are all heroes of my Qing Dynasty!"

"Loyalty to the imperial court is the duty of a minister!" Yi Xuan said with his head held high.

"Luan Ran is ready, right?" Cixi asked.

"It's already ready, just waiting for the queen mother's decree." Yi Liang replied.

"Lafayette, your old man is tired all the way, go back to the palace to rest first!" Li Lianying whispered in the ear of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The Empress Dowager Cixi relieved her heart and went back to the palace. From Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate, everywhere you go, officials of all sizes, soldiers and soldiers, gentlemen and people, all bow and prostrate and kneel to welcome them.

The Queen Mother returned after a long absence, and lifted the sedan curtain along the way to browse the scenery of the imperial capital. to the officials and the people who knelt down to greet her. Every now and then wave your hand or smile slightly. It's really like a good master who loves the people and his ministers.

The escape with the car is finally over, and when I leave Beijing, I am as anxious as a lost dog, and I am panicked like a fish that has slipped through the net; When I returned to Beijing, I swaggered and swaggered, which was really a world of difference.

Surrounded by their courtiers, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor returned to the palace from Yongdingmen Station and saw the red wall they had missed for a long time.

Along the way, although the market is still the same, the subjects are still the same, but the traces left by the war are difficult to wash away, and the accumulated bullet marks, stains of blood, piles of rubble, and layers of scorched earth can still be seen everywhere.

This is a collapsed house, there is a burned shop, the most cruel one is the arrow tower at the front door, how important this front door is to the Qing government, but, the foreign devils can ignore this set, the beams on the arrow tower have also been burned, the walls have been knocked down, the central door hole has also been destroyed, the ruins and broken walls, bricks and wood, unbearable to see.

The joy of the Empress Dowager Cixi just getting off the train was gone, and she couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she put down the sedan curtain and wiped her eyes a little moist.

Emperor Guangxu was even more worried and sad. He is worried about the country, the country has been broken like this, as the emperor of the Son of Heaven, the father of all peoples, how can he make the people of the world have Kangning?

As a descendant of Nurhachi, if this hard-won splendid river and mountain is buried in his own hands, what face will he have to see his ancestors and ancestors? Before the war, because of his support for the reform of the law, because of his refusal to marry, and because of his dissatisfaction with Cixi, the relationship between him and Cixi was very tense, and he was imprisoned in Yingtai.

It was that terrible war that eased the relationship between their mother and son, but now they are back, back to the palace where they once argued, after returning to the palace, what kind of attitude will Cixi use to treat Emperor Guangxu, what is his future, what can he do, this is what Emperor Guangxu is worried about.

Although he is a true dragon emperor, there is a Lafayette above him after all! In addition, as soon as he saw the palace wall, Emperor Guangxu remembered Concubine Zhen, what a good concubine, but ...... Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and at the same time a little hatred.

I think that when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered the city of Beijing, burned, killed and looted, and did everything.

In order not to contradict each other, they also divided the capital, the British and American armies occupied the area south of Chongwen and Xuanwu, the Russians occupied the area south of Chaoyangmen, and the south of Fuchengmen was under the jurisdiction of the French......

In their respective jurisdictions, they did all kinds of evil, plundering national treasures, robbing rich merchants, killing ordinary people, raping women, burning palaces and houses, causing the ancient city of Beijing to bleed all over the ground, and the sound of killing and crying shook the sky and the flames soared to the sky.

At the same time, some civilian bandits took advantage of the fire to rob, lifted doors and twisted locks, bullied men and women, and plundered property. The ancient city of Beijing, one of the centers of Eastern civilization and one of the centers of world civilization, was overwhelmed by all kinds of evils.

The sedan chair passed Tiananmen Square, entered the end gate, and then went inside to the noon gate, which is the main gate of the Forbidden City, and entered it is the Qing Palace. The eunuchs who stayed behind in Ouchi had already knelt outside the noon gate to greet their master.

The sedan chair was about to enter the noon gate, and the Empress Dowager Cixi lifted the curtain and glanced at her minions. The sedan chair still didn't stop, and it passed the noon gate.

In front of it is the three major halls, the base of the hall is two zhang high, the hall is one thousand zhang high, and the Taihe Hall of five rooms has been presented in front of you. The Empress Dowager Cixi erected the sedan curtain and looked at the majestic hall carefully.

The tall beams and pillars, the wide hall is still the same, but the original items in the hall have long been gone, the Empress Dowager Cixi in the sedan chair to walk through the Taihe Palace, glanced at the empty hall, and suddenly felt sour in her heart.

After the Taihe Palace, it is the middle and hall of the gilded dome of the square eaves, and the hall still exists, but the furnishings in it are gone. Cixi felt uncomfortable, so she lowered the sedan curtain again.

The sedan chair man seemed to understand Lafayette's thoughts, and hurriedly passed the Baohe Hall and walked straight towards the Yongshou Palace, Cixi's residence. Empress Longyu returned to Yongshou Palace with the Queen Mother, and Emperor Guangxu went directly back to Yingtai. (To be continued.) )
