Recommend "The Secret Story of the Republic of China Martial Arts" and "Youth Living on the Assembly Line"
The maid pointed and said, "Lord Wang, will you follow him?" After saying that, the maid walked away without looking back.
Prince Gong felt that something was wrong, and when he approached, he shouted, "Little father-in-law" Before he could finish his words, he saw the eunuch turn around and look at him.
"Tai" standing in front of him was not his father-in-law, but the Empress Dowager herself. Seeing her wearing a eunuch's costume, Prince Gong looked puzzled.
The Empress Dowager Xi didn't say anything, pushed open a door, pulled him in, and closed the door. Prince Gong didn't know what she wanted to do. I saw that the Empress Dowager Xi suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried!
"Do you know how hard it is for me these days?" At this moment, she turned into the pitiful appearance of a little woman.
"Queen Mother"
"Can't you just call me, Lan'er?"
"Lan'er" Prince Gong somehow held her in his arms.
She cried for a while, and after relieving a lot, she said, "Sixth Master, have you ever seen An Dehai?" ”
"Both of them are in my house, you can rest assured." The Empress Dowager Xi nodded very deeply.
Prince Gong said again: "I personally wrote the decree, and the minister has already read it." ”
The secret decree is mentioned, but it does not mention the "great things" mentioned in the secret decree. Prince Gong refused to mention it, and the Empress Dowager Xi was inconvenient to mention it, but she was silent on the surface, but she was working hard in her stomach. The so-called "big event", Prince Gong and Gui Liang, Wen Xiang, and Bao Jun have repeatedly studied and thought about it.
If you want to uphold the government, you must first defeat Su Shun, and if you want to defeat Su Shun, you must first cancel Gu Ming, and if Gu Ming is canceled, it must be replaced by a curtain, and the heroine is a violation of family law, he is unwilling to risk the world's disapproval to initiate this proposal, and he is not willing to initiate this proposal before the queen mother of the two palaces.
However, since he came to the palace, what he has seen and heard has made this idea begin to waver!
The Empress Dowager Xi looked at him at this time and said, "You are in charge, I will hang the curtain!" But she also knew that Prince Gong was not a mediocre person who only listened to orders, and the more frank he said this, the more he looked down on him, but now she couldn't care about it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the Empress Dowager Xi said again: "In case the emperor and I can't return to the capital safely, the Qing Dynasty will be entrusted to you, Sixth Master!" ”
When Prince Gong heard this, he was shocked! said: "Su Shun, no matter how much I dare not go against you"
"Lan'er is talking about what if." I don't know whether this is life or death, and it is difficult for them to predict how things will develop and change in the future.
"Since I have promised you, I will not let you have an accident, don't worry." Seeing that the matter had been done, the Empress Dowager Xi couldn't stay for a long time, so she reluctantly opened the door and left first.
Prince Gong looked at her departing back, and remembered the opportunities that the two of them missed again and again in the past. He secretly told himself that this time he must not miss it again!
Su Shun's group of people paid great attention to what the three kings were called to the palace and talked about. In order to dispel the other party's vigilance, he deliberately went to visit Sushun, ostensibly saying that he was resigning, but in fact he wanted to tell him about the conversation with the two palaces.
These were all details, even if Su Shun didn't listen to himself, he could have heard the news from other places, but Prince Gong's attitude made him feel like he had taken a "reassuring pill".
Therefore, in order to "repay", he also took out the draft of the edict and considered it with Prince Gong, and changed the number, which did not matter, and it could be said that they were "happy and dispersed" with each other.
On the seventh day of the first month of August, the edict was issued, on this day, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, one after another entered the palace, Prince Gong arrived relatively late, he received the guests in the hotel to say goodbye, and then issued the edict, and then set off to return to Beijing.
The place where the edict was issued was in front of the Qinzheng Hall in the Dehui Gate of the Imperial Palace. This was the last edict of the Daxing Emperor, so the etiquette was very solemn. The princes and nobles, the ministers of civil and military affairs, have all been waiting in shifts according to the rank of the knighthood.
Then the emperor came out, stood in front of the yellow case pre-set under the eaves of the Qinzheng Palace, stood in the east and west, and waited for Prince Yi to praise the Minister of State of Xiang, and held the edict to it, and the emperor knelt to receive it, and placed it on the yellow case, and bowed three times.
Then, Zaiyuan also performed the same big gift, and then invited the edict down, and held it out by the royal middle way, until outside the Dehui Gate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites knelt down three times, and sent it to the Military Aircraft Department, forwarded it to the cabinet, and promulgated it to the world.
Prince Gong saluted with the crowd, and went to the palace of Jingcheng in the city, and the emperor of Daxing went to resign, drank wine and mourned, and prayed silently for a long time.
After the edict was issued, the eight ministers of Zanxiang had to start sorting out all the government affairs of the palace, so they were only sent to the palace gate.
Prince Gong was about to get into the carriage, Su Shun walked over and said, "Sixth Master, I will entrust all the affairs in the capital to you." ”
Prince Gong turned around, smiled and said: "The two palaces and the emperor, as well as the coffin of the first emperor, must be the body of the Zhongtang Lord, there is a long way to go, and I hope you can handle it properly." ”
"The slave was entrusted by the first emperor, and he must welcome the emperor and the two palaces back safely, can you rest assured."
"I'm tired." After speaking, Prince Gong got into the carriage and returned to Beijing.
Seeing their convoy go away, Duanhua said, "Just let him go?" ”
Zai Heng glanced at him and said, "What can you do?" ”
"It's better to die in the middle of the road."
Su Shun smiled and said, "Let's see!" After that, I entered the palace.
As soon as he left, Gu Ming's eight ministers were all in good spirits, and they were in high spirits, and after saluting, Zaiyuan Lang said: "The queen mother, the emperor is very happy!" ”
The two palaces were stunned! The Empress Dowager Xi asked: "The national funeral has not yet been full moon, how can it be happy?" ”
"Jingli got the news, and An Qingke recovered ......" heard this sentence, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was stunned!
"It's the first gram of August! The information is absolutely reliable, and it is inconvenient to use official documents because it has not been reported by Zeng Guofan. After speaking, Su Shun handed over the letter in his hand to Cui Yugui.
The Empress Dowager Xi glanced at the east, looked at the letter, put it down, and only said, "Does the sixth master know about this?" Su Shun said: "This news is also just learned by the slave, because there is no official document yet, so the slave does not dare to publicize it lightly." ”
Anqing Kefu, and then approached Jinling. More than ten years of great trouble, once it is suppressed, it is enough to comfort the spirit of Emperor Daxing in the sky. Naturally, it also has the credit of Su Shun's dispatch and protection of the Hunan army. So he came to sue the two palaces early, isn't this asking for merit for himself?
The Empress Dowager Xi can be regarded as understanding his thoughts! If you don't come early or late, the sixth master just walked with his front foot, and he entered the palace with his back foot. If the official document arrives, won't his reputation for being obedient overshadow the work of the sixth master?
