"Sixth Master!" She happily handed over the fold: "Do as you wish!" ”

"Yes!" Prince Gong took the fold and said: "The ministers propose, the curtain is an extraordinary move at a very high time, and there should be an edict to the world, affirming the original intention of the queen mother of the two palaces to allow the curtain to be lowered." ”

"That's right!" Empress Dowager Ci'an continued with his words, "This was a last resort. Just wait for the emperor to become a year, and naturally he will return to power. ”

Cixi was very alert, and quickly said, "That's what I mean. The emperor is too young, and we sisters can't afford not to ask about things, but we also have to work together to make today's peaceful situation possible.

Now I only hope that the emperor will study hard, and in seven or eight years, he will be able to afford big things, and our sisters can be regarded as having an explanation for our ancestors and the subjects of the world. At that time, the two sisters and I would have a few days to spare. Write your purpose according to this meaning. ”

Prince Gong originally had a draft of the decree on him, and he was going to submit it immediately, but at this moment, listening to Cixi's words, it was naturally inconvenient to take it out again. Please An withdraw, return to the military aircraft office, take out the original manuscript, add the intention of the Empress Dowager Cixi, re-delete and revise the final draft, and consider it as good as possible, before sending it from the internal affairs office.

This edict is in the tone of the emperor, in fact, the empress dowager of the two palaces affirmed that the curtain was "not intended to be done" and had to do it, the wording is extremely tactful, between the lines, quite a plea of asking for forgiveness from the subjects of the world.

The two palaces set the curtain ceremony to the first day of November, it is a rare good weather since the winter, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, all of them are in good spirits, bathing in the morning sun, entering the palace by the Donghua Gate.

A group of older ministers were all given the grace of "riding horses in the Forbidden City" in advance, and they could get off the sedan chair and get off the car near the Longzong Gate.

The place to listen to the government is still in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, summoning military aircraft and officials in Beijing every day, in the East Warm Pavilion, and in the event of a ceremony, it is in the Ming Hall of the Palace of the Nourishing Heart. At this time, it has already been cleaned and neatly furnished.

In the center, there is a mahogany royal case with a length of more than one zhang, tied with bright yellow satin, and the table circumference of "six with spring" dark flowers. Behind the imperial case, there are two thrones, one east and one west, and a square-eyed yellow gauze is hung in front of the imperial case, as the meaning of the curtain. In the middle of the curtain is the little emperor's couch, covered with new yellow satin leather mattresses.

Waiting for the bell to strike nine o'clock, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the hall one after another, and the deacons and officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple took care of them and lined up their shifts. It was already three quarters of the first quarter of the year -- a quarter of an hour before ten o'clock, and the eunuch handed over a report that the emperor had served the two palaces and started driving from the palace.

So the whip sounded, silent, only heard the rustling footsteps in the distance, from the hidden to the visible, and finally saw the shadow of Prince Alcohol, who was also leading the messenger of the "Former Minister", so he walked in front.

Then Jing Shou, Bonna, and the group of imperial ministers appointed by the prince were divided into two columns, leading the little emperor's bright yellow soft sedan chair into the palace of nourishing hearts.

Walking around, I saw that the head was not a jewel top, or a coral top, and the front chest and back were either a crane complement or a unicorn complement. The most proud is the class of Hanlin who is on an errand in the south study and the upper study, although the grade is low, you can still hang the morning beads, wear a mink coat, and go straight into the inner court.

The officials who stood on duty knelt down together to take over. After the emperor, it was the soft sedan chair of the queen mother of the two palaces, and then the ministers and eunuchs who accompanied them, and the most notable was An Dehai.

dragged a sparkling new blue feather behind his head, followed the soft sedan chair in the west, and raised that little dan-like face high, and that pride, as if he had become an emperor.

Waiting for the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor to ascend to the throne, the praise officials of the Honglu Temple, singing loudly, from the hall to the Danqi, the big and small officials, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, got up and quit in shifts. The ceremony that has been prepared for many days is now complete.

But it was at this moment that the Empress Dowager Cixi officially achieved supreme power. The dust has fallen, the floating words are exhausted, and the people who are keen to climb the dragon and the phoenix have long had a plan, that is, those who hold the right mind, but do not take the curtain as a joy.

At this time, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and the political authority was returned, thinking about his fame and wealth, not only did he not dare to have any private discussions behind his back, but also changed his wait-and-see attitude, and went to play the congratulatory watches to the queen mother of the two palaces.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces accepted the congratulations and handled government affairs as usual, and summoned the King of Parliament and the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Dongnuan Pavilion instead. The layout has been changed, the imperial case sits in the east and faces west, the queen mother of the two palaces, Ci'an in the south, Cixi in the north, and eight foldable bright yellow gauze screens in front of the case, and the little emperor is still sitting in front.

Prince Gong and the Minister of Military Aircraft bowed, and once again bowed down to congratulate the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

The Empress Dowager Cixi has the most important grievances, and when she thinks of today's scenery, it is naturally Prince Gong's work to turn the tide, followed by Cao Yuying's mediation and planning, so the two of them are greatly praised.

At the same time, he also mentioned the grievances suffered in Rehe, reminiscing about the past, although he was emotional, he couldn't hide his complacent state of mind.

Then, the Empress Dowager Ci'an also said a few words, all of which were façade words, and she instructed Prince Gong to give priority to state affairs, not to be afraid of resentment, and not to avoid suspicion in small sections.

This is something to refer to, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and Du Han, in the past, in order to isolate Prince Gong and the Queen Mother of the two palaces, they have repeatedly threatened, saying that the young uncle and sister-in-law are suspicious and cannot be avoided, and in the future, Prince Gong will have many opportunities to enter the two palaces alone.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was afraid that someone would gossip again, so she specially made this advice. Prince Gong naturally claimed that it was, and when he saw that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces had finished speaking, he continued to play and said that the curtain of the Two Palaces and the Restoration of the Government Decree were the blessings of the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

The queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces passed on the meal in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace. When setting the dining table, An Dehai slowly and methodically came in with a yellow box, which was the box where the internal performance office put the folding, and the Empress Dowager Cixi only had an emergency military report, so she beckoned and said, "What is it?" Take a look! ”

An Dehai smiled and put the yellow box on the kang table, opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen yellow and red inside, congratulating the two palaces on listening to the government.

"Is there a 'East Side' too?" Cixi asked casually.

"All of them. One copy of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, one copy of the Emperor. ”

An Dehai replied: "The master's share was shown to me in the internal performance office, so I brought it first, and I bowed with the master to ask for a reward." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi scolded with a smile: "You have been rewarded less for a while? ”

"Don't ask your master for anything else."

An Dehai knelt down on his knees and said: "From today onwards, the master has a lot of time in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the slave begs the master to transfer the slave to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so as to serve the master." ”

Cixi looked at An Dehai and said categorically: "No! You are not the material for the Temple of Cultivating the Heart. An Dehai kowtowed and stood up aggrieved.
