Not bad! It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is what the Empress Dowager Cixi has always insisted on, because the first few external troubles were caused by the fact that she was careless, so the Empress Dowager Cixi also had to agree with ****** Yiqi's point of view, she nodded.

"Moreover, Lafayette, Li Zhongtang said that if Lafayette deposes the emperor, the foreign ambassadors will refuse to recognize it, and they only recognize the current emperor." Rong Lu hurried to say again.

The Empress Dowager Cixi's anger wanted to rise again, but she knew that it was not a joke.

If the foreign envoys really don't recognize the new emperor at that time, where will she, the empress dowager, go, and at the same time, Liu Kun and other provincial ministers can't say what will happen now, if they also follow the trouble, how will I end it?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that her resolve had been tested, and that her resolve was slowly disappearing, replaced by a reluctant compromise.

"So what do you say?"

The tone is noticeably softer than before, but not too weak. Rong Lu realized this and said:

"The slave thinks that Lafayette does not have to abolish the emperor. Now that the emperor is old and has not had a prince, it is better to choose the clan to be the eldest brother, to be the emperor's heir, and the heir of Mu Zong.

The queen mother can bring the eldest brother and raise him in the palace. Slowly use him to replace the emperor, isn't this a justifiable thing? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy to hear this, and decided to neutralize the eldest brother in the palace, but she did not give Jing Yuanshan any good feelings, and she ordered Jing Yuanshan to be arrested. But Jing Yuanshan had already received the news and fled to Macau.

Since you agree to set up a big brother, but who will you appoint? At this time, it became a hot topic of discussion among the courtiers and workers.

In fact, long before this, the Empress Dowager Cixi began to prepare, of course, not to prepare for the establishment of the eldest brother, but to prepare for the establishment of a new emperor. She had begun to keep an eye out for the children in her close relatives, preparing to make one of them emperor.

Now that he wants to set up a big brother, he is naturally selected from among these people.

This is a very difficult thing for the Empress Dowager Cixi, and even she herself does not know who is good. Because she's afraid of making another mistake.

Besides, since the death of Emperor Xianfeng, the Empress Dowager Cixi has always held the authority in her hands, and she has been training as the Empress Dowager, and after decades, the Empress Dowager Cixi has been unable to give up the authority that is extremely important to her.

This means that the eldest brother must not be too old, otherwise the Empress Dowager Cixi will not be able to discipline the government; But it can't be too small, because she feels that although her body is still quite tough, she may not be able to hold on for another twenty years.

Therefore, a vague concept was formed in the mind of the Empress Dowager Cixi: to establish a big brother, you have to set up a child of the clan who is about ten years old, physically stronger than the current emperor, but has a very close relationship with herself.

Among the ministers of the DPRK and China, there were many who advocated deposing the emperor and appointing a new emperor, and they were also looking for the emperor in their minds.

Unexpectedly, now Lafayette has a will not to abolish the emperor, but to set up the eldest brother, although their enthusiasm has been hit and their enthusiasm has been suppressed, but after all, the eldest brother is still not far from the emperor's position, so they immediately resumed their original enthusiasm after being silent for a while to find the future emperor.

King Duan has a son under his knees, named Pu Jun, who is not very old, but his body is still very healthy and strong. Duanwang's Fujin is the daughter of Cheng'en Gong Guixiang, who is very beautiful and good at catering to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace, so she is very popular with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Every time Duanwang Fujin enters the palace, he always takes the young Pu Jun with him, and Pu Jun can always make her happy when the Empress Dowager Cixi watches plays, plays chess, and paints, and what makes the Empress Dowager Cixi even more like is that Pu Jun's play sings well, and her voice and figure are very good, so the Empress Dowager Cixi often likes to leave Pu Jun in the palace and let him sing for herself.

Pu Jun is stubborn by nature, every time Lafayette asks him to sing, he is very happy, and when he is happy, he tries his best to make Lafayette laugh, so the Empress Dowager Cixi likes Pu Jun very much.

When the "Pu" character was neutral to the eldest brother, she couldn't help but praise and praise Pu Jun, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi feel moved, because in her mind, except for Prince Gong's grandson Pu Wei, only Pu Jun was left.

But she still can't decide, she still wants to see other children, she wants to compare Pu Jun with other children. If there is no better than Pu Jun, Pu Jun will be established as the eldest brother; What if so? then think about it carefully.

Thinking about this, she made a decree: on the twentieth day of the lunar month, convene a meeting of the princes of the near branches, and all those who are minors with the word "Pu" will be carried into the palace by their father and brother to be summoned.

On that day, the children of the "Pu" generation wore special robes and gowns according to their grades, and the same gowns were mended with pearls, and the top was brilliant, decorated with the appearance of "little adults".

The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The Sect Rite is a great plan, the Mourning family can only consult with you, and you, as the Qing Dynasty, can say anything you have to say." Give Mu Zong an heir, you will discuss and discuss, and see who is better. It's a big deal. It is inconvenient for the mourning family to be arbitrary, so I brought everyone here, you have something to say, don't be taboo about anything! ”

This is the Empress Dowager Cixi encouraging everyone to speak, but everyone did not speak, which is very incomprehensible to the Empress Dowager Cixi. She went on to say:

"If you have something to say, just say it! You're welcome. If you don't talk about it at this time, and after you go down, you will talk about how the mourning family is, don't blame the mourning family for not giving you face! ”

But still no one answered, and the clansmen kneeling below, like their sons, bowed their heads and did not say a word.

"The mourning family summoned everyone today to listen to everyone's opinions, but they didn't say anything. I had no choice but to set up an heir for Mu Zong myself, but if anyone in the future judges the mourning family in this matter, don't blame the mourning family for being unkind to everyone.

Everyone must understand that the mourning family has given you time to say it, but you don't say it yourself! ”

Lafayette's usual obscenity has already been tried, and when I heard Lafayette say it, I felt that the tone was quite gloomy, and I felt cold in my ears. Everyone quickly kowtowed:

"Lafayette Shengming, the minions will never be confused to that extent. Lafayette, you can rest assured that you will set up an heir for Mu Zong! Slaves obey your old life. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy, because this had already blocked everyone's mouths, and no matter what she did in the future, no matter who she set up, they did not dare to express objections.

Despite this, there was no discussion, and everyone got together and did not discuss the results, which could not help but disappoint the Empress Dowager Cixi, because she thought that her nephews were not attacking each other openly, but also secretly containing each other, so in the end, everyone kept their mouths shut and did not speak.

This made the Empress Dowager Cixi realize that her prestige among her nephews was high enough to make them dare not speak casually. (To be continued.) )
