How could the Empress Dowager Ci'an see the subtlety of her words? I only nodded deeply and asked, "Yes!" So what to do? ”

"Of course, you have to ask the sixth to find a way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "The Empress Dowager Cixi stood up and said: Let's go! Look at it. “

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces passed the soft sedan chair to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had just fallen asleep, and the Empress Dowager Cixi did not scream and was alarmed, and sent the chief eunuch Meng Zhongji to question.

"Last night, the 'big outside' traveled once, and I bought half a bowl of duck porridge, and half a bowl of ingots soup with three fresh fillings." Meng Zhongji played Emperor Chen's daily life like this.

"How's the 'flower'?"

"The 'flowers' are quite dense, much more than yesterday. Dr. Li said that the flower is dense, and the hair is not thorough, it depends on how Ming'er is. ”

Meng Zhongji also said, "The slaves worship the Buddha three times a day, and if they want the emperor to be blessed as the sky, they must be blessed by the Buddha, and they will be safe and prosperous." ”

"When the peace passes, the mourning family will naturally be rewarded." The Empress Dowager Cixi warned again, "You are lazy and careless, and you are not attentive, and the mourning family will not spare you!" ”

"The minions would never dare."

"Has the queen come to see the emperor today?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

"Not yet." Meng Zhongji replied, "I came to greet the emperor last night, and I rested for an hour before returning to the palace." ”

"Oh! What did the queen say? Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"The queen commanded the servants to serve with all their hearts. said that the emperor has no appetite, if he wants to pass on something, inform the queen's small kitchen to prepare. ”

"Hmm!" The Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "The queen stayed for an hour and said something to the emperor?" ”

"The queen talked to the emperor, and the servants didn't dare to be in front of her. But....... ”

Meng Zhongji consciously lost his words and quickly shrunk his mouth, but it was too late. The Empress Dowager Cixi naturally couldn't let him go, and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" ”

This can't be done anymore, otherwise the Empress Dowager Cixi will definitely turn her face, Meng Zhongji replied stubbornly: "The queen seems to have shed tears." ”

"Humph!" Empress Dowager Cixi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and she said to Empress Dowager Ci'an, "Look at it! ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent, and a knot was tied in her heart, and the Empress Dowager Cixi's dissatisfaction with the Empress was getting worse and worse, which she knew very well.

I once wanted to persuade her, but I was afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi would suspect her of protecting the queen, so I was disgusted and misunderstood, and if I didn't persuade her, it would be even more difficult to do it.

After this hesitation, a eunuch came to report that the emperor had woken up. This interruption did not allow the Empress Dowager Ci'an to have a chance to speak, and she was busy going to see the emperor.

The emperor's face, arms, shoulders, etc., were all purple blisters, and the "flowers" were really dense, but they were not bulging and bulging, and they were not distinctly grained, and some places were messy and connected into a large patch, which was not a favorable sign.

The queen mother of the two palaces sat in front of the royal couch side by side, and there were few words of comfort to persuade him to recuperate in peace. The emperor said that he was deeply disturbed by the empress dowager of the two palaces, and said that he could not see the fold in person, which was quite anxious.

"E-Niang also knows that you are in a hurry, so you have to find a way." The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her face to the Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "I think they should also come in and have a look." ”

These "them", of course, are inseparable from the Minister of Military Aircraft, followed by the Minister of Imperial Front. It happened that the eunuch came to ask for instructions, saying that Weng Tonggong asked for instructions, whether he could enter the meeting, so the Empress Dowager Cixi sent a message and entered the palace with the military aircraft and the imperial front.

Entered the heart of the temple, the Buddha was offered in the room, everyone kowtowed together, and then Meng Zhongji opened the curtain, led by Prince Gong, and entered the Dongnuan Pavilion together, kneeling and saluting. The light was very dim, and I couldn't see clearly, so I heard the emperor ask in a low voice, "Who are those people?" ”

"The military plane and the royal front, and Master Weng." The Empress Dowager Cixi commanded again: "Bring wax!" ”

Meng Zhongji agreed, and immediately sent someone to fetch two bright red candles as thick as children's arms, and stood on both sides of the imperial couch. Under the candlelight, the emperor's face became as if he was drunk.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi had personally stretched out her hand, removed the emperor's left arm from the brocade quilt, pulled her sleeve and said, "Look! The flowers are still through. ”

So the king stepped forward first, and while looking at the arm covered with blisters, he said words of comfort. King Gong saw that it was King Gong, King Gong saw that it was King Alcohol, and they looked at it one by one, and the last one was Weng Tongyi.

The emperor really seemed to be drunk, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, his expression was half asleep, and he never spoke.

In front of the patient, it was inconvenient to say anything, so the ministers knelt down and withdrew, and the queen mother of the two palaces had no admonition. But as soon as the military plane and the imperial front returned to their original place, Meng Zhongji immediately came to pass the decree again, saying that the queen mother was summoned in the Yangxin Palace.

This time the summons was in the main house of the Yangxin Palace, the Buddhist altar was covered with a huge yellow curtain, and only one throne was set up in front of the curtain, and only the Empress Dowager Cixi was alone.

That's not the ordinary thing.

has always summoned ministers, whether when the curtain is lowered or after the curtain is removed, the two palaces are always respected, unless there is a queen mother's holy bow.

But at this moment, I don't hear that the Empress Dowager Ci'an is sick, and then there are doubts, is the Empress Dowager Cixi deliberately avoiding the Empress Dowager Ci'an, or is this summoning not agreed by the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and she is unwilling to come out?

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear, this is not an ordinary summons, and the Empress Dowager Cixi must have something very different to say.

The eleven people all understood and were alert, especially Prince Gong, because he must have spoken on behalf of everyone, so he muttered in his heart, kowtowed, tilted his ears slightly, and listened quietly.

"You have all seen the situation of the emperor." The Empress Dowager Cixi's voice was deep and spoke very slowly, and she could see that she herself was also very cautious in her words.

"Now everyone up and down is in a hurry, and the emperor himself is even more anxious. In the past seven or eight days, the chapters of the various yamen have been some cases, and many major events have not been done because the emperor cannot personally see the folds and make up his mind. That's all he's anxious about.

If you can't be at ease, there will be a good prescription, and the effect will be reduced. According to Li Deli, it will take 100 days to recover: this is not a matter of ten days and eight days, you have to find a way.

The matter is clearly there, what should be done, the mourning family wants to have its own public opinion outside. ”

Prince Gong took her words, listened to every word in his ears, remembered it in his heart, chewed his taste, and quickly heard the true meaning, the Empress Dowager Cixi was going to take over the government in person, but she was afraid that the curtain would not be allowed by the Qing Dynasty again, and "to find a way" was to think of a way to teach "the outside has its own public opinion".

"There is another layer," the Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "after eighteen days of waiting for meditation and recuperation, it cannot be said that if you sit all day, you will not get sick again?" The emperor is still young, he always has to find some pastime, if he occasionally strings up a play or something, he wants to be considerate outside, and there will be no discussion. ”

This was originally the meaning of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and at this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to say that the emperor was within 100 days, since he wanted to cultivate his temperament with silk and bamboo, it would be difficult to win the annoying drama, so the act of hanging the curtain was indispensable.
