"It's been two days since I came out, and I don't know what's going on in the capital, have you heard any news, tell me about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It's certainly not a big deal." Li Lianying rushed to speak, and grimaced at Wu Yongzhi, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Xiao Lizi, you let him speak, don't interject." Cixi was a little unhappy, turned her head to Wu Yong and said, "Just say it, don't pay attention to him." ”

"There is two pieces of good news; One is that Jiang Shangjun, the chief soldier of Henan, led his men and horses to Gyeonggi and stopped the pursuit of foreigners; In the other case, Guangdong Province sent someone to take the silver two and made a detour to drive it. ”

This is good news. Have you heard anything bad? ”

"Li Hongzhang has not yet arrived in Beijing."

When Cixi heard this, she didn't say a word, and seemed to be thinking. Li Lianying was afraid of picking up her sadness again, so she said to her: "Lafayette, let him go!" He didn't rest for a moment today. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi ignored it and asked Wu Yong again: "Have you prepared all the items you need to drive?" ”

"It's already ready."

"It's still up to you, do things in a measured way. Tomorrow morning, you can get up early and drive, you can rest. ”

A quiet night passed like this. In the early morning of the next day, the people who had rested all night were refreshed, and all kinds of sedan chairs, pannier chairs, and mule carts also appeared to be energetic.

Luan drove away, still so panicked and confused. Wu Xian Ling let out a long sigh......

On July 27, the 26th year of Guangxu (lunar calendar), he arrived in Xuanhua, Hebei. The holy driver stayed in Xuanhua for four days, set off on the first day of August, waded across the Dayang River, crossed the Tong'er Ridge, arrived in Tianzhen County, Shanxi Province on the sixth day of August, and drove into Shanxi since then.

The Tianzhen County Commander heard that the Holy Driver had arrived in Xuanhua. Ask the countrymen to prepare all kinds of items to prepare for the car. However, due to the emperor's stay in Xuanhua for more than five days, the food prepared has rotted.

As soon as the holy car arrived, it was too late to rush to do it, and Cen Chunxuan blamed the county order in the name of supervision, saying, "Look at how many heads you have." The Tianzhen County Commander was so frightened that he committed suicide by poisoning.

It can be seen that everywhere the holy car goes, it does not bring happiness to the local area, but disaster.

Because the news of the holy car's westward move quickly spread, and the Tianzhen county order has been "afraid of guilt and self-determination" due to the lack of waiting for the queen mother and the emperor, so after the holy car entered the Shanxi border, all the villages and towns he went to were squires and celebrities to greet filial piety.

It's not so much the respect for the Queen Mother as the fear of them. On the seventh day of the first month, he arrived in Yanggao County, and on the ninth day of the first month, he arrived at Datong Prefecture. The officers and men below the general army in Datong Mansion all went out of the city for 50 miles and lined up to meet them.

Due to the getting better and better conditions such as life and transportation, a smile gradually appeared on the face of the Queen Mother, and she began to put up the shelf of the Queen Mother, forgetting the suffering Jingshi has long been outside the nine heavens.

Entering Datong City, the two palaces lived in the official office, and every meal was full of fish, mountains and meat, and the offerings were extremely rich. Empress Dowager Cixi's gloomy face, which had been gloomy for many days, finally burst into a smile.

Stationed in Datong on the second day, on the 11th, Luan drove the brigade from Datong Mansion to the south, and on the 13th, crossed the Yanmen Pass, and came directly to Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival. Drive to Xinzhou. The palace is located in the Tribute Courtyard, which is magnificently furnished. Xinzhou Zhizhou presents all kinds of fresh fruits, moon cakes and other things, plus the moonlight is very good at night, and there is a festive atmosphere in the palace.

The queen mother was radiant, admiring the moon and laughing, so uncomfortable. The attendants are all happy, but they are the only one, who ignores these as if they are not seen, only obsessively watching the moon and pondering. This person is Emperor Guangxu, the son of heaven.

The next day, to Yangqu County. Xu Handu of Taiyuan Mansion and Yang Qu Ling Bai Chang are here to greet them. After a short stop, the team rushed to Taiyuan.

On August 17, the car arrived in Taiyuan. Shanxi Provincial Governor Yuxian led the civil and military officials below the Fan Division to gather ten miles outside Taiyuan City to meet them.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Yuxian was coming to pick up the car, she said to Li Lianying: "Ask Yuxian to come to my sedan chair." ”

"Lord Yu, Lafayette calls you to reply in front of the sedan chair."

Yuxian, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, strongly advocated the Boxers to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and was supported by Prince Zhuang Zaixun, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, Fuguo Gong Zailan, Zhao Shuqiao, Yingnian and other ministers.

At that time, Yuxian had said that the Boxers were mighty, and Cixi was determined to use the Boxers to fight against the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Now that the Eight-Nation Coalition has captured the Beijing Division, the first of which is to ask the Qing government to punish the leader of the boxers, so the Empress Dowager wants to meet Yuxian.

"Shanxi Provincial Governor Yuxian knocked to see the Queen Mother."

"Yuxian, when you asked for training out of Beijing last year, you said how powerful and reliable the Boxers were, but unfortunately it turned out that you were wrong. Now the Jingshi has been attacked by foreigners. The mourning family and the emperor were dusty all the way and came here.

Look at the territory of Shanxi, there is indeed no trace of foreigners, which can be regarded as your acting on orders and contributing to the imperial court. But once the foreigner takes revenge, he will ask for the culprit, and the mourning family will have to dismiss you.

But you don't have to be sad about it. This practice is nothing more than a cover for the eyes and ears of foreigners, and it has to be done for the sake of the country's long-term consideration. You have to know the intentions of the mourners. ”

"Lafayette is for the sake of the country, the minister can understand, and the minister is ready to be dismissed and punished. The failure of the Boxers was due to their lack of discipline, disturbing law and order, and indiscriminately killing innocents. Yuxian replied to the Empress Dowager Cixi eloquently, but there was a sense of unease in her heart and an ominous feeling.

Within a few days, the governor of Shanxi was dismissed.

After replying, Yuxian welcomed the holy car into Taiyuan and took the governor's yamen as the palace. The governor's yamen is magnificent, a bit like a palace. One of the most rare is the curtains, bedding and all the furnishings in the palace.

These things are rare and rare when the emperor visited Wutai Mountain during the Jiaqing period, and they were prepared for the palace. Later, the royal car did not arrive, so they were all put away and placed in the Taiyuan Domain. The successive feudal divisions did not dare to take it out without authorization, and only added a seal to the door.

From Jiaqing to Guangxu, it has gone through several times, and the seal on the door has been returned to dozens of layers. Now that the emperor is coming, when he wants to make the official utensils, he remembered these antiques that had been sleeping for many years, so he opened the door of the library and checked it, but it was not damaged at all and was as brilliant as new.

So he easily took it and decorated the governor's yamen with a shining and elegant appearance. The Empress Dowager Cixi lived in the palace and felt at home.

Taiyuan can be regarded as a big station, and the Empress Dowager Cixi plans to stay here temporarily, looking at the situation of the whole country, watching the offensive of the foreigners, and making a decision on where to go.

So in Taiyuan, the Empress Dowager Cixi began to set up the Empress Dowager's shelf. Arrived in Taiyuan on the same day, bathed and changed, dressed up, so comfortable. (To be continued.) )
