277 All are dead

Previous Chapter

The Empress Dowager Longyu went to Yingtai and saw the emperor's situation, and she was even more sad. Ran Wen ???.? r?a?n?? The emperor was not only skinny, but had been in winter for many days, and the emperor's bed was only covered with a tattered thin mattress, covered with only a faded satin quilt, which was very miserable.

Guangxu has always been in a coma, and he doesn't know when Empress Longyu will come to him.

Outside the Fuchang Palace, Yixuan, Zaifeng and the ministers of military aircraft were waiting for the news of the Empress Dowager Cixi. The Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom was in the Xinuan Pavilion of Fuchang Palace, and she was in a little better spirits at this time, so she was in a hurry to summon the military plane.

Li Lianying walked out of the hall and said to the military planes who had been waiting for a long time: "Lord Wang, my lord, the Queen Mother is called!" ”

Several people immediately followed, the little eunuch at the door opened the curtain, Li Lianying opened the middle door, made way of the way, let several military planes enter the door, and closed the door again. Then the door to the inner room was opened, and everyone went in order.

The leader is Qingwang Yixuan, followed by Zaifeng, Shixu, Zhang Zhidong, Lu Chuanlin, and Yuan Shikai. No one had ever been to the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom, so it was inevitable that she was at a loss and knelt on the ground in a mess.

The Empress Dowager Cixi leaned against a stack of brocades, her hair combed aurora, but skinny.

"Is King Qing here?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"The minister is here!"

"The emperor is in danger, and the matter of establishing an heir for Mu Zong has to be decided early, and I want to hear what you mean."

King Qing spoke first: "The minister lifts Pei Zi Pu Lun, and Cheng Gong Prince Pu Wei." ”

"Zaifeng, what do you mean?"

Zaifeng thought for a while and said, "The minister and ****** think the same. ”

"Shixu, what about you?"

"The Empress Dowager Shengming, since she has a plan, she will be able to convince the subjects of the world." Segashi replied tactfully.

"What about Zhang Zhidong? You are a veteran of the state, what do you have to say? ”

"Queen Mother, this is a major event, and the ministers dare not speak falsely."

"That's a good thing to say."

Leaving Lu Chuanlin and Yuan Shikai, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not ask, and said:

"Since you believe in the idea of the mourning family, the mourning family will say it! Pu Lun and Pu Wei, although they are very harmonious, but with their talents, they are not qualified to be emperors! The mourning family's eldest son, Boyi, is my grandson! ”

This surprise was not small, no one expected that she would pick the emperor as a three- or four-year-old child. This is obviously going to train Empress Longyu to be the queen mother. A bunch of military planes were all stunned.

"It seems that the emperor will not be long," she continued, "and bring it in today and give it to the queen to upbring." ”

"Yes!" Zaifeng responded.

"Since this is the case, Prince Alcohol's identity has also changed, and from today onwards, he will be the regent."

This decision was even more surprising, and even Zaifeng himself felt incredible. Shi Xu pulled Zaifeng's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and thank you!" ”

"Minister, thank the Empress Dowager for her grace!" Zaifeng kowtowed.

The military planes knelt down and withdrew. In this way, Zaifeng took the place of Yixuan, and rose from the original second place to the first place, but Yixuan dropped one notch. Returning to the military plane, Zhang Zhidong was the main writer, and drafted two edicts, announcing Zaifeng Regency and Li Puyi as the emperor's heir.

In Yingtai, Emperor Guangxu was on the verge of dying, maybe it was to return to the light, he suddenly sobered up. When Empress Longyu saw that he was awake, she wiped the tears on her face, came to Guangxu's face, and gently called "Your Majesty".

Emperor Guangxu recognized it for a long time before he recognized that it was the queen standing in front of him, looking at her teary eyes, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said softly: "It's me who has suffered you!" The queen could not bear it any longer, and turned away and began to cry.

Since the queen entered Yingtai, all the eunuchs and guards retreated, so there were only the emperor and the queen inside and outside the palace.

"I'm going to die," the emperor spoke again, "just ask you to do one thing for me!" ”

"Listen to the concubine!" The queen sobbed.

"Kill Yuan Shikai!" Emperor Guangxu gritted his teeth and said.

Before Empress Longyu could answer, Emperor Guangxu had already choked his breath, and this was October 21, the 34th year of Guangxu. The Yingtai Hanyuan Hall was desolate.

The thirty-eight-year-old Guangxu Emperor was mourned, but Pu Yi, who was designated as the emperor's candidate, had not yet been brought into the palace, and the country could not be without a monarch for a day.

After settling the emperor, the Minister of Military Aircraft came to see the Empress Dowager Cixi, who seemed to be in good spirits and dressed neatly, but still sat on the bed with her back against the quilt.

He saw that the expressions of the ministers of the military aircraft were a little abnormal, and there seemed to be undried tears in the corners of their eyes, and asked, "Is it that the emperor has already left?" ”

The ministers all bowed their heads and were silent, and Yixuan felt that she couldn't hide it, so she said: "Yes!" He added, "The ministers have obeyed Yi's decree and have welcomed the little alcohol king into the palace." ”

"Good! Pu Yi is the heir of the emperor. He was the son of Mu Zong and the Emperor of Ao Daxing. Cixi said.

"Yes! The Queen Mother! Yi Liang said.

"Where's the kid? Hug and mourn the family! Cixi turned her face to ask Zaifeng.

"It's just outside, without the will of the Queen Mother, don't dare to bring him in!" Zaifeng replied.

"Bring it in!"

Zaifeng walked out of the Fuchang Palace, took Pu Yi from the nurse's hand, and hugged him in. Pu Yi saw so many people in the room, and a skinny old lady was staring at him, and she cried with a "wow".

"Coax him with some food!" Empress Dowager Cixi said.

Li Lianying hurriedly ordered the little eunuch: "Hurry, hurry, go get the sugar gourd!" ”

The little eunuch took a string of rock sugar gourds embedded with jujube paste and handed it over with a smile.

Pu Yi not only didn't answer, but also knocked the sugar gourd to the ground with his hand, crying "wow" and "wow".

Empress Dowager Cixi frowned and said, "Okay! Hug it aside and play! ”

Zaifeng took Pu Yi out, handed it to the nurse, and returned to Fuchang Hall by himself.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The emperor is too young, and since Zaifeng is the regent, he will be in charge of the country!" ”

In this way, Pu Yi became the emperor, his father Zaifeng was the regent of the state, the Empress Dowager Cixi became the Empress Dowager, and Empress Guangxu became the Empress Dowager Longyu.

The Minister of Military Aircraft is really busy, he wants to bury the emperor of Daxing, and he has to place the little emperor and prepare for the affairs of ascending the throne. When discussing the name of Emperor Guangxu, the little eunuch sent by Li Lianying ran over, gasped and said, "Lord Wang,...... My lord, Galeries Lafayette called! ”

A group of seven people hurried to the Fuchang Palace, Li Lianying was already waiting at the door, picked the curtain, and let the ministers of the military aircraft in.

The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't get up anymore, leaning on the quilt, with two palace maids behind her. She gasped and said, "The mourning family can't do it anymore. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zaifeng first cried, and then several people sobbed.

"Don't cry! There are a few important words to explain here, you have to listen carefully! The Empress Dowager Cixi took out a tone of order. Be! Everyone replied in unison.

"From now on, the matter of state is decided by the regent. In the event of a very serious matter, the regent will ask the queen mother for advice. Do you all understand? ”

"Yes!" Everyone's voices were much louder.

"It's time for the emperor to be buried, right?" Suddenly, the emperor thought of the empress and asked, "What about the empress?" Oh, it's time to call the Queen Mother. ”

Li Lianying replied: "The Queen Mother is in the Hanyuan Palace. Emperor Daxing was buried first, and then buried after moving the spirit to clear the palace. ”

"The emperor is in the Qianqing Palace, what about the mourning family? Where are you going to put the mourners? I don't want to occupy the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace! ”

Yi Xuan hurriedly replied: "Of course, it is the Imperial Palace of Ningshou Palace." ”

"Galeries Lafayette, it's time to rest for a while! Two princes, my lords, when Lafayette has the spirit, I will call you up. "Li Lianying is going to catch the military plane and leave.

The ministers of military aircraft knelt down to the Empress Dowager Cixi and withdrew.

In the early morning of October 22, the 34th year of Guangxu, as soon as the ministers of military aircraft entered Xiyuan, they got the news: the Empress Dowager Cixi has ascended to heaven.

Cixi never thought of being Wu Zetian in her life, and she never gave up power and interests in her life. She is afraid of living a hard life, she is afraid of living without supportΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
