So Li Hongzao stated: "The first day of the new year is the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, and there is no study for two days; In the third year of junior high school, he was introduced to Bagong, and there was no study; It was only two o'clock after the summons on the fourth day of the first month, and there was no study room for the decree;

There is no study room at the beginning of the fifth day of the first month; There is no study room for two days on the sixth day of the first month; On the eighth day of the first month, there is no study room on this day and from the 11th to the 15th.

Counting half a month's work, only the ninth and eleventh days of the first day of the first two days of the Royal Hongde Palace. The day before yesterday and yesterday, there was still no study. ”

"Yesterday!" The emperor was reasonable, "What day was yesterday?" Don't salute? ”

"Yesterday was the death anniversary of the first emperor." The alcohol king just happened to be in the interface, touching the scene, feeling the feelings, thanking Wenzong, and couldn't help but exchange tears.

"The first emperor abandoned the world, just for the foreigners to burn the Old Summer Palace, and collapsed with grief, if the emperor still can't remember this great shame and humiliation, it is better to serve the first emperor under the spring." Cry loudly.

The emperor was embarrassed and annoyed, and it was inconvenient to say comfort, and he did not want to comfort him, so he only stiffened his face and said loudly: "This is not a matter of crying, if you have something to say, as long as it makes sense, of course I will listen." ”

"Yes. I hope the emperor can listen humbly. Prince Alcohol also said, "The minister is dead, from now on, there must be no more things that are easy to obey and do things." ”

"That's a rumor, why not?"

"The emperor said that rumors are rumors."

There is an indescribable disdain and words in this sentence, the emperor is extremely uncomfortable, and he estimates that the king of alcohol does not dare to move over the country, and insists that it must be there, so he asks vigorously: "What do you say!" Where did I go, and on that day, those people I met? ”

"The emperor himself knows it."

The more this seems that the words of the Mellow King are chasing after the wind and shadows, and the emperor is even more about to ask, "No! He said, "You have to say it, or you will be spreading a lie." ”

Rumors about the emperor are not trivial, and Prince Alcohol is forced to be unable to do so, so he has to tell the truth.

That day I had a drink in Xuande Building, that day I had lunch in Longyuan Building, that day I lingered in Bada Hutong, and that day I bought "idle books" in Liulichang. This is all reported by Rong Lu and forwarded to Prince Alcohol.

Not only do there be days, there are places, and even what dishes I asked for in the restaurant, and I spent a few taels of silver to make it clear.

At this moment, not only was the emperor stunned and had nothing to answer, but Boyan Nemo, Jing Shou, Shen Guifen and others also had an unheard of feeling.

For a while, the silence in the temple was like a storm before the coming storm, which made people feel uneasy.

"Everything else is easy to say. Stop working in the garden, I have to play the queen mother, I can't be the master of this piece. "When I finally got such a sentence from the emperor, I thought it was unsatisfactory.

So the king took the lead, knelt down and withdrew.

The emperor himself was also sweating, and just after returning to the Qianqing Palace, he wiped his body, the eunuch came to report, and the Empress Dowager Cixi summoned him.

When I arrived at Changchun Palace, I saw that the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi was gloomy, and the emperor was frightened first.

"I heard that the military aircraft and the imperial front, there is a joint excerpt." The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's not the clichés." The emperor wanted to show the Empress Dowager Cixi the fold, but he had already reached into his arms, and he was alert, this was "giving people a handle", so he stretched out his hand again.

"What's the cliché? Aren't there a few important words in it, why did I come to see you by appointment? What about excerpts? The Empress Dowager Cixi stretched out her hand.

The emperor thought to himself, if he had not brought it, perhaps he would have ordered it and sent someone to fetch it. Wouldn't it seem like you were lying if you couldn't get it? I had no choice but to hand over the recital.

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the excerpts, although they were not ten lines at a glance, but they were much faster than the emperor, while looking at it, they sneered, and after reading it, they threw the folds on the kang table, and were dumbfounded for a long time, and said with an extremely disappointed voice: "There are some things that the mourning family doesn't know!" ”

The emperor was weak-hearted, and he was afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi would ask about Weixing, so he covered it up like this: "It's just that after watching the project a few times, there are rumors outside, it's really hateful!" ”

"You're good, others are going to spread rumors there?" The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at him and asked, "Do you know that these six paragraphs are talking about one thing!" ”

This matter is naturally a stop to work, the emperor thought to himself, let the Empress Dowager Cixi say it herself, things will be much easier, so he bowed down and replied: "Ask the emperor to enlighten me." ”

"It's all because you're not good at studying. Think about it, how many days have you been in the study this month? The Empress Dowager Cixi then said, "If you can be motivated and work hard, your heart will naturally calm down, and you will naturally know that you will 'fear the destiny of heaven', 'obey the ancestral system', speak and act, have rules, and you will read the twists and turns, and you will be willing to listen to people's persuasion."

As long as you can look like this, building a garden so that you can study with peace of mind, it's nothing! Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to speak again and again.

But finally said it, "There is a sentence, the mourning family said that you must not be convinced, you have only been in power for more than a year, why did you make it like this?" To put it bluntly, the outside looks down on you! Promised in his mouth, sneering in his heart, do you think it is easy to look at the excerpts and meet with military aircraft? You're early! ”

These words made the emperor's face like ashes, and his heart was indescribably sad, and he wanted to say a word, but he didn't dare, so he had to lower his head and bite his lip vigorously.

The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a slow voice, "What do you mean now?" There must be an explanation! ”

"Didn't the emperor say it?" The emperor said in a somewhat aggrieved voice: "My son should go to the study more." ”

At the same time, the Ten Ministers Crying Hall has been rumored to be the news of the Nine Cities. It seems that it is a matter of time before the gardeners are stopped, so not only the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly stopped, but even the contractors of the gardeners could not stop and wait and see.

Things looked like they were deadlocked, and the emperor didn't know what to do, and dragged on day by day. The Ten Ministers were even more anxious and held frequent meetings.

The emperor began to feel that the situation was serious, firstly, he could not explain to the Empress Dowager Cixi; The second is related to prestige. Thinking about it, you can only talk to someone.

This person is Li Hongzao.

Only when the emperor speaks in front of the enlightened master will he not feel that he has hurt the majesty of being an emperor.

"Master," he said, "others don't know about my difficulties, and you should know them." At the beginning, the decree was made to repair the garden in order to entertain the queen mother of the two palaces. ”

The emperor looked extremely embarrassed, and it took a long time before he said, "I don't know how to go back with the two queen mothers." ”

said that it was said that there were "two queen mothers", but in fact there was only one: the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The emperor was under the authority of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was also a strict father and biological mother, and was often so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly, which Li Hongzao knew deeply.

Therefore, the emperor's bitterness is also fully revealed from his words.

So on the same day, he talked to Prince Gong about the process of the emperor's summons, and Prince Gong invited five former ministers and the whole class of military aircraft to meet in King Gong's mansion. (To be continued.) )
