Around the emperor, there were eunuchs who were specially designed to visit the Empress Dowager Cixi, and when they saw this situation, they rushed to Changchun Palace to play back, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked when she heard it, and immediately ordered the Empress Dowager Ci'an to be invited.

"The emperor is going to make a big mess!" The Empress Dowager Cixi briefly said what had happened, analyzed the benefits and disadvantages to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, "This time, there is no need to do anything!" Since our ancestors, there has never been such a thing, and if you and I have changed, we can't help but chill! ”

"It's too much to say! It's like this, it's really a joke. What now? The Empress Dowager Ci'an said anxiously, "It's not easy to get to where you are today, and you can teach him to be completely ruined at once." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"Don't be upset. Thanks to the news early! Come on! "On the one hand, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent the chief eunuch of the Changchun Palace to prevent the emperor from summoning the first and second rank officials in Beijing, and on the other hand, she passed on the edict of the Imperial Hongde Hall to summon the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of Imperial Front.

Hongde Hall and Qianqing Palace are close, the emperor heard the little eunuch's report, hurriedly came to wait, the Empress Dowager Cixi saw it and asked: "The rise of the six departments, have you withdrawn?" ”

In fact, it has not been revoked, but the emperor cannot help but say this: "Withdrawn!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, turned her face to the important minister who knelt on the ground and said: "In the past thirteen years, without Prince Gong, there would be no today, the emperor is young and willful. Yesterday's edict, our sisters didn't know that Prince Gong and Zaizi's titles were still as usual.

"Wenxiang!"

"The minister is here."

"You write the will!"

"Yes!" Wen Xiang kowtowed and retreated.

So Prince Gong kowtowed and thanked him, and said, "The minister is really scared! The emperor's reproach was not acceptable to the ministers. However, 'I dare not say anything about the so-called danger in my heart', and now that Japan has made representations with Japan, Japan has plans to claim compensation for military expenses, and if the gardeners do not stop, the Japanese envoys will think that our treasury is abundant, and it is inevitable that the lion will open his mouth, and this negotiation will be difficult to handle. ”

"Oh," the Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "have the Japanese envoys arrived in Beijing?" ”

"I arrived yesterday."

"Preparing for that day?"

"The date has not yet been set." Prince Gong replied: "The minister intends to have a rise and fall before the longevity of the Queen Mother. ”

"This means that you have to put it in your heart first, and let the other party know the truth, I'm afraid you will be coerced."

"Yes! The Empress Dowager Shengming. The minister and Wenxiang tried their best to do it, in case the negotiation could not go smoothly, the minister would ask for guilt first. ”

"As long as you do your best, there is nothing that cannot be done." The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Who are you going to hand over the project of the Three Seas?" ”

"The minister requested that the minister of survey be sent first, and after verifying the survey, he would then request the order to be handled."

"Oh!" Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "It's better to save." The Emperor may wish to issue another edict to affirm this meaning. ”

So the emperor knelt down and replied, "Yes!" ”

By the time he stood up, Wen Xiang had already entered the hall. The edict was drafted by the military machine Zhang Jing, he held the emperor in both hands, the emperor read it, and turned to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an said:

"Read it to everyone!"

The Emperor agreed: "Decree to the Cabinet: I am in honor of the Empress Dowager Ci'an Duanyu Kangqing and the Empress Dowager Cixi Duanyou Kangyi:

The emperor issued a decree yesterday to replace Prince Gong with the hereditary replacement of the prince, demoted to the prince of the county, and carried the title of the prince of Baylor County.

However, since the prince was an assistant to the government, he has not been without more than enough labor, and he has rewarded the prince for hereditary replacement; Carry the title of king of Baylor County, and return it together.

The prince should be admonished by the imperial court, and then he will be more diligent and prudent, and Hongji will be difficult, and he will be appointed as a deputy. Chin this! ”

"Thank God." Prince Gong kowtowed upwards diagonally, indicating his gratitude to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the Two Palaces.

"The Three Seas Project, try your best to save, the meaning of the two queen mothers, you have already heard it, and the military aircraft will write the decree." The emperor turned his face and asked the empress dowager of the two palaces: "The two empress dowagers still have something to ask?" ”

"Those are the two sentences." The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The times are difficult, and we must always rely on the unity of the whole and try our best to maintain it. Don't save anything. ”

"The ministers don't dare." Prince Gong also said: "The minister has no such intention. ”

If the name is changed from the Old Summer Palace to the Three Seas, in fact, it still does all kinds of things, and it costs millions of silver, then it will greatly miss the original intention of the ministers to strive for.

Therefore, Prince Gong suggested: "If you want to talk about the project, it is naturally sponsored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is appropriate for the Ministry of Industry to help." However, in order to guard against floating and verify the cost of work, it seems advisable to send a member of the king's minister to be responsible for supervision. ”

"That's a good thing to say." The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The fifth master is not much, let him take care of it in the future." ”

"Yes!"

Having said that, there was silence, and the Empress Dowager Cixi had a lot to ask, but this time it seemed to be overstepping her authority and interfering in politics, so it was inconvenient to say more. He only ordered Li Hongzao to preach to Weng Tongxiao, saying that he really understood his lectures and that he must be extra attentive in order to benefit the sacred learning, and then ended this exceptional summons.

This day is the first day of the first month of August, every month, as usual, the emperor serves the queen mother of the two palaces, and he is fortunate to pass the meal and listen to the play. The emperor made a lot of trouble for a day, but the wind was clear and the moon was white, there was nothing, and he was discouraged when he thought about it, so he had no smile on his face in Shufangzhai.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an understood his intentions, so she asked him to sit beside her, and while listening to the play, she persuaded him to say a lot. The emperor's depression and grievances finally melted more than half of them in the warmth of his mother.

When I returned to the dormitory after the play, I saw Zai Shan flash out and ask for a peace, and said with a smile: "The minister is on leave." Greetings to the emperor. ”

As soon as he saw his face, the emperor felt resentful in his heart, and said with a calm face: "Zai, you come with me." ”

"Yes!"

When he arrived in the palace, the emperor's temper flare-up: "You kneel down for me!" I ask you, what did you say to me in front of your Amma? ”

Zai Shi dared to come to see the emperor on leave, he was prepared, knelt down and said with a sad face: "The minister is the emperor, and he has been beaten for a long time." ”

The Emperor was greatly surprised by these words, and his voice softened, "What's the matter?" He asked.

"Please look at the emperor!" As he spoke, Zai rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of them, and one arm stretched out.

"Get up, I see!"

At a glance, the emperor also felt compassion, and there were blood marks on his arms.

"This is the minister's father with a leather whip, you have to force the minister to say, 'don't say beat to death', the minister endured the pain and refused to say. The minister's father was angry, and everyone said that the minister was not filial, and he shouldn't provoke the minister's father to be so angry. The minister was helpless, and he couldn't help but say it. The minister deserves to die, and the crime deserves it. As he spoke, he knelt down again, "The minister asks the emperor to punish the minister's sin." ”

The emperor was speechless for a long time, then sighed and said, "Alas! Get up. ”

The relationship between the emperor and Zai is different, at this point, resentment is not, hatred is not, and he is reluctant to leave the left and right, even the envoy of "walking in front of the emperor" cannot be withdrawn, and the true religion is helpless.

In Zai, he also knew that he had made a big disaster, although he had prevaricated a "bitter meat plan" and apologized, but he had not released it, so he was particularly obedient.

Just these two together, it is really like a brother who quarrels and regrets, hugs his head and cries, and the relationship is even closer. (To be continued.) )
