"Don't say that." The Empress Dowager's tone was extremely calm, "The mourning family is not particularly good to you. Good to you, it's just that Emperor Daxing repeatedly instructed him before his death, for the sake of Da Gege, I want me to take good care of you. You should also think that he is not worried about you behind him, and you should be careful of your own body. ”

These words were very harsh, and Concubine Li was very frightened, knelt down on her knees, blushed and said, "The Queen Mother has taught her a lesson." From now on, the concubines must always remember the words of the Queen Mother. ”

"By the way, you understand this, get up!"

The Empress Dowager Dong said with great relief: "The mourning family also told you a word, you took Da Gege, and returned to the city with you on September 23. This trip back is similar to when I came, and I can't be comfortable on the road. You took care of your body as soon as possible, so that you could eat this hard trip. ”

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is impossible to stay in the room when it is deserted. The Empress Dowager got up to leave, Concubine Li sent her out, and couldn't help sighing, this is the Empress Dowager Dong's virtue to convince people! The past is no longer to blame.

She didn't want to get any comfort from the Empress Dowager, and she felt that it was rare to have someone to sympathize with her. She has long seen that the most snobbish place in the world is like the deep palace.

When Cheng'en was favored, no one did not hold her like a phoenix, once the color faded and pampered, all she saw was a cold face, unless she was powerful, and the power was now in the hands of the "West", if it was not for the protection of the Queen Mother, I was afraid that the fate would be tragic.

As soon as the Empress Dowager Dong left, someone over there sent the news to the Empress Dowager West.

The Empress Dowager Xi listened to the eunuch's words and said: "Speaking of which, it would be nice if Emperor Daxing hadn't returned to heaven so early!" ”

On the third day after Prince Gong left Rehe, Dong Yuanol, the superintendent of Shandong Province, asked the Empress Dowager to listen to the government.

There are four main points in the fold: first, the Empress Dowager will listen to the government with a curtain, and if she does not implement the curtain to listen to the government, the saint will be deceived;

the second is to propose another Prince Jian to assist the government, requiring the emperor's close branch prince to assist the government with the side branch princes Zaiyuan and Duanhua, in fact, Prince Gong Yixun is also required to enter the auxiliary political team; the third is to request the selection of a master for the little emperor; Fourth, it is necessary to rectify the rule of officials, especially the ranks of high-ranking officials.

Finding a little-known Dong Yuanol to start this is Prince Gong's foresight.

First, it was initiated by Dong Yuanol, which on the surface seemed to have nothing to do with Beijing and the Empress Dowager of Rehe, so that the coup plan could be carried out in its secret state, without startling the snake;

Second, by a small person throwing out such a twist, he can quietly test the reaction of the Sushun party to this matter, which can be attacked and defended. If it can develop in depth, Beijing will immediately cooperate with public opinion;

Third, Dong Yuanol is not a key figure, once he is grabbed by Su Shun and others, he can sacrifice his pawn to protect the car for the sake of the overall situation of the coup.

The first two are the first naked seizure of power. is not only naked, but also suspected of looking for death.

The ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty has always strictly restricted concubines, princes, princes, and palace supervisors from interfering in court affairs, and the ministers who dare to propose to destroy this system must be sentenced to death.

Emperor Xianfeng entrusted Gu and excluded the second queen, which was nothing more than obeying the system of the ancestors. Based on this, it can be said that Dong Yuanol is suspected of looking for death. As for the addition of the prince to the leadership collective, the meaning is, of course, Prince Gong.

Of course, there are Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Prince Zheng Duanhua among the eight ministers of the auxiliary government, but Emperor Xianfeng, with the respect of the emperor, changed the ancestral system from top to bottom, which is a violation; The courtier's proposal for the prince to assist the government is from the bottom up, which is illegal.

On the eighth day of the first month of August, Dong Yuanol arrived at Rehe, and the eight ministers were very angry after reading it: Which one of these is not for us to praise the eight ministers! The Empress Dowager was built to hang the curtain, and the essence was above the power of the eight ministers.

With the absolute leadership of the Empress Dowager, how will the eight ministers control the imperial power? The prince of Jianyì and the eight ministers jointly assisted him, and didn't he divide the power from the power assigned to them to the prince, and where did the autocratic power come from?

Contrary to the attitude of the eight ministers, after reading the fold, the Empress Dowager of the West was overjoyed, and couldn't help but exclaim: Dong Yuan's son can be taught!

What Prince Gong wanted to say but couldn't say was displayed in the compromise, especially the empress dowager's "power to manage the government and not interfere left and right" in the compromise, which was essentially the construction of her exercise of imperial power, which she couldn't ask for.

So, she sent other notes from the same day, but this one was left unsent, according to the rules of the palace, this is called "staying in the middle and not sending", and she has to seriously consider the countermeasures.

The twist and turn pointed directly at the eight ministers, and openly challenged the eight ministers' system of taking care of their lives, which was exactly what the queen mother of the two palaces wanted.

On the 11th, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces held the little emperor and summoned the Minister of Zanxiang and asked them to write a holy decree on Dong Yuanol's performance, and asked it to be submitted to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs for consultation. As a result, there was strong opposition from Su Shun and others.

They protested vigorously, thinking that it was impossible, claiming that they were the emperor of Praise Xiang and could not listen to the orders of the queen mother, and even said that it was superfluous for the queen mother to look at the fold. The queen mother of the two palaces immediately argued with reason, and the eight ministers did not back down.

The two sides faced each other, fighting with each other, the argument was very fierce, and the voice was so loud that the little emperor was so frightened that he cried and wet his crotch. The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was so angry that she trembled.

The next day, without waiting for the summons, the eight ministers went straight into the palace and quarreled with the queen mother of the two palaces, and in the face of this group of men who rushed straight into the widow's palace without saying hello, the queen mother of the two palaces was so angry that she trembled and almost fainted.

For the sake of supreme power and the dignity of the Queen Mother, he once again rejected the strong demands of the eight ministers.

Seeing that the two women still refused to admit defeat, the eight ministers simply threatened to strike, and refused to handle the affairs of the government and state, nor did they hand them over to the queen mother. Looking through the history of any generation of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to find any time when there was a ministerial strike.

The Empress Dowager Xi knew that this was a political incident of strict disobedience to the Holy Order, this was a challenge to the imperial power by the eight ministers, and it was a political intimidation by the eight ministers to her and the little emperor!

The Empress Dowager Xi clearly realized that the behavior of the eight ministers was directly related to the operation of the government, and if it was not handled properly, it would inevitably affect the stability of the political situation in the whole country. Even if it drags on today, what will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

At this time, Rehe was completely controlled by the eight ministers, and it was too much to force it, and the two palaces and the little emperor were in danger of being abducted at any time, and Prince Gong was far away in Beijing, so it was difficult to form an echo for a while.

If she insists too much on the idea of listening to the government, once the eight ministers who have been in the officialdom for a long time see through her intention to seize power, it will not only be wasted, but will also bring about death.
