The emperor's heart jumped, probably the Empress Dowager Cixi heard the rumors, and she couldn't admit it, but she couldn't help but explain a little, thought about it and replied: "I haven't been to Haidian a few times, it's not a big deal." ”

"Is the light Haidian?" The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Haven't been outside the front door, haven't you eaten outside?" ”

"Nope!" The emperor stubbornly relied on it, "Who made the rumors in front of the emperor's mother?" ”

This sentence hooked the anger of the Empress Dowager Cixi again, "Who dares to spread rumors in front of the mourning family? She asked sharply, "Why did Qifujin make your rumors?" ”

This time, the emperor was silent, and hated others for talking about his micro-deeds in his heart.

Of course, Qifujin listened to what the alcohol king said, who did the alcohol king listen to? It must be found out, punished severely, and angry in the heart, and then it can also teach others to be afraid, and never dare to talk nonsense again.

"You're nineteen years old, what else can the mourning family say?" The Empress Dowager Cixi hinted vaguely, "The trouble you caused yourself, take care of it yourself!" ”

So early the next morning, the emperor summoned the military plane.

The recent major event, in addition to the suspension of the garden, is nothing more than the Taiwan incident, between Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang, there are special messengers every day to deliver letters.

Early that morning, he received a letter from Li Hongzhang, saying that Secretary of the Interior Okubo Toshitsu, a special envoy for negotiations sent by Japan, had arrived in Tianjin and had met with Li Hongzhang. According to Okubo Toshitsu, he hopes to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible to hold discussions with Prime Minister Yamen.

"That Okubo, what is his purpose?" The Emperor asked.

"Okubo Ritsu is a native of Satsuma Island, Japan, and he is a fellow villager with the Japanese general Saigo Congdao in Taiwan." Prince Gong replied: "Okubo is here, and it is said that he wants to make a plan for peace, and his attitude is very tough, but according to the courtiers, he still wants military expenses. ”

"Want us?" Prince Gong responded: "Yes!" The voice was so soft that it almost meant no answer.

"He sent troops to occupy China's place, and he also asked China to pay for the soldiers, what is this called?"

"The emperor blames it!" Prince Gong took the opportunity to reply, "Just because my strength is not as good as others, I can only be temporarily wronged." Japan learned from Western France to become strong, but in a few years, it was thanks to the unity of the whole and seeking truth from facts.

The ministers and others privately planned, thanks to the blessing of heaven, Hong Yang and the bandits were leveled, and the military of the West Road was entrusted to Zuo Zongtang to take full responsibility, and he would also be able to reap the credit.

Now it is time to cultivate politics, reorganize the army and use the military, and learn from the strengths of the people to control the people, then they will be wronged for a while, and there will be a day when the power of heaven will be reaffirmed. The ministers and others have this plan, the deceased Hu Linyi, Zeng Guofan, and the current Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, and Shen Baozhen all have this view.

Since the end of Daoguang, the country has been difficult, day by day, the first emperor worried about the country and abandoned the world, thirteen years on the two palaces of the Empress Dowager Shengming, relying on the deep benevolence and Houze of the previous dynasty, there are Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, Hate Greenqin, Duolonga, and Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and other people of the loyal country, to turn the crisis into peace.

It's just that although the internal worries are peaceful, the external troubles are not over, and the opportunity to recover the blessings and misfortunes is all in the emperor's constant awe, and the holy virtue is bright, and he will work hard, otherwise, he is only afraid that the country will die! ”

The previous paragraph is still beautiful, but the last sentence is against the ear, and the emperor said expressionlessly: "Empty words do not make up for the facts." The process of negotiation with the Japanese envoy, you write an excerpt! ”

"Yes." Prince Gong looked at Shen Guifen and said, "You remember." ”

When the military plane met and the whole class retreated, the emperor left Prince Gong behind, "saying that I was hanging out outside the front door??????

He asked, "Who are you listening to?" ”

Prince Gong blurted out: "The courtiers are loaded." ”

The emperor's face changed drastically, he sneered again and again, got up and left.

The emperor that night was very emotional, and he avoided the things he didn't want to think about on weekdays, and he was all worried about it at this time.

The queen mother's rebuke, the advice of the ministers, and the comments of the officials seemed to put all the faults on him alone.

What made him unconvinced the most was that he should have said it a long time ago, and he didn't need to say it again if he didn't say it before, but at this time it was used to make a "crime of wanting to add", and Prince Gong couldn't restrain his son, but took care of other people's affairs, which was even more chilling.

Also, if Zai dares to do this, it is tantamount to betraying his own people, which is particularly hateful.

"If there is a father, there must be a son!" The emperor clenched his fists and smashed the imperial case, "You have to take this breath!" ”

After sleeping all night, the remaining anger did not subside, and he forcibly suppressed himself from summoning the military plane. Without saying a word, he wrote a book, wrote a Zhu edict, and said loudly: "Find all the ministers in front of the palace!" ”

The five ministers in front of the emperor, **** are on an errand in the inner court, and they dare not be negligent these days. The emperor was so excited that his hands were trembling, and while handing Zhu Yu to the king, he hurriedly said: "Prince Gong has no courtesy, I will be punished heavily!" ”

When the prince received it in his hand, he was shocked, and the pen read:

"Tell the kings and ministers in the court: Since I came to power on the 26th day of the first month of last year, whenever I summoned Prince Gong, I have not been courteous to any courtiers; and control political affairs, separating mother and son, and all kinds of illegal affairs, which are difficult to describe;

Immediately dismissed the hereditary replacement of the prince, demoted to the eighth point of the auxiliary prince, and withdrew the military aircraft, sent all the envoys, and handed over to the Zongren Mansion for strict discussion.

The envoys left behind should be divided into the loyal and capable members of the public and the five ministers of the imperial palace and the meeting of the ministers of military aircraft.

And his son Zaige went to the rank of king of Baylor County, and walked before the palace to show punishment. Chin this! ”

Before he finished reading, the prince had already knelt down, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or indignant, and said in a withered and trembling voice: "The minister doesn't dare to obey the edict!" ”

Listening to what the king said, it can be guessed that it must be Prince Gong who was severely punished, so the rest of the people, including Prince Gong, knelt down and kowtowed together, and the emperor himself was also agitated in the center, unable to maintain normality, there were many things to say, but he couldn't say it, so he got up in spite of it, got off the throne, and went out of the Dongnuan Pavilion without looking back.

At this time, the king handed Zhu Yu to Prince Gong, and everyone didn't care about the etiquette, so they looked around together, and they were all surprised and surprised.

However, Prince Gong was more calm, "I am willing to accept whatever punishment the emperor gives me." It's these three sentences of 'no courtesy, controlling political affairs, and separating mother and son', I can't admit anything. ”

"Sixth master," Bao Jun was afraid that this would hurt the emperor's intentions, and said anxiously, "You just say one less word!" Let's ask the fifth master to preside, how to find a way, please ask the emperor to take back his fate. ”

So while retreating to the court room of Yuehua Gate, he sent someone to inquire about the emperor's movements first. After a while, the emperor rested in the West Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and his anger seemed to be better.

"Hand over the sign again! If we can't see the emperor, let's not leave. Wen Xiang looked around as he spoke, meaning to find the eunuch. (To be continued.) )
