This time he acted vigorously and resolutely, and quickly cut through the chaos, and the government and the opposition understood that Guan Beizi's "curtain" in the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was unbreakable; Not only that, but at the same time as the edict that punished Wu Fengge, it was announced that "Guan Zhuofan was awarded the former minister", which is the work that King Alcohol and Boyan Namo are doing now.

The Sacred Heart is as bright as the autumn moon.

In the imperial court, inside and outside Beijing, officials began to stir, and many people considered standing in line again.

King Gong missed a blow and was quite annoyed. He didn't expect this move to hit Guan Zhuofan hard, but he thought that he could stop his momentum towards Lu, but he didn't expect to support Guan Zhuofan instead.

There are more serious sequelae.

The first is that the "Gong line" has undergone an irreparable split. Guan Zhuofan completely stood on the opposite side of himself, not to mention, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying, the core members of the "Gong Department", also had ideas.

Wen Xiang and Bao Jun are two of King Gong's closest cronies, and they can be regarded as right-hand men. But Wen Xiang is very upright, and he can only use Wen Xiang to do serious things, and this kind of disgraceful work Wen Xiang is inconvenient and smelly. Therefore, King Gong only discussed this matter with Bao Jun, and the specific plan was still taken out by Bao Jun.

However, Wen Xiang and King Gong trust life and death, no matter how dissatisfied he is with King Gong, he will not turn his back on King Gong.

That's not exactly the case with Cao Yuying.

Cao Yuying had early worries about the relationship between King Gong and Guan Zhuofan, and the development of events proved that his worries were not unnecessary.

Cao Yuying is not a person who thinks about fame, he thinks more about the overall situation of the court and the country. In such a special position on the edge of the core circle of the "Gong Department" group, Cao Yuying's view is more objective; As a Han Chinese. He sees more. Deeper. Further.

Second, some important people who had previously taken a relatively neutral position were pushed away from King Gong.

For example, Prince Lao Hui, who is relatively middle-of-the-road and old, had no intention of getting involved in the political disputes of the later generation. But when King Gong came out like this, the slap not only hit Guan Zhuofan's face, but Prince Lao Hui, the chief priest, was also disgraced. A decent errand of good luck, it has become left and right is not a taste, and I feel very strange that King Gong is troublesome.

It is okay if Prince Lao Hui is unhappy, after all, the old man has withdrawn from the center for a long time and does not hold actual political power.

The biggest side effect of the Taimiao turmoil was that Ci'an was completely pushed to Cixi's side, so that she fully accepted Cixi's previous proposal of "reminding and reminding the sixth child".

King Gong's move is really a stinker.

Guan Zhuofan originally thought that "the first strike is the strongest", but he didn't expect that it was the other party who made the first move, and he couldn't help but sigh. Political struggle really cannot tolerate the slightest negligence, and it cannot be allowed to let go of a little "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality."

He saw his enemies clearly. Moreover, the enemies have already hooked their hands. It seems that the power is extremely powerful, and it has the ability to dig a hole for itself at any time.

He is almost a bare pole in the court, and he has no real team.

Therefore, your strategy cannot be the kind of "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the king", because the enemy will not give you this time.

It is necessary to "capture the thief and capture the king first", and then crush it from top to bottom.

Counterattacks must be swift, ruthless, and accurate, with a single hit. can't be like King Gong, who doesn't hit a snake by seven inches, but gets bitten by a snake.

Hey, am I a snake?

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces is fortunate and brave and loyal to Gushan Beizi Mansion.

There are two interesting aspects of this arrangement.

An interesting place is that Bo Yan Namo and Guan Zhuofan jointly served as the "Minister of Servant". The "Minister of Servant" is served by the Minister of Imperial Affairs, and Guan Zhuofan has just been sent to the Minister of the Imperial Minister, and he is qualified to serve as the Minister of Minister.

The two ministers are not too unusual, the problem is that Guan Zhuofan is still the object of luck this time, it stands to reason that he is going to take over at home, what should he do if he is a "minister of servant"?

Cixi did have an imagination: she asked Guan Zhuofan to "pick up" our sisters in the palace. - That's what you can do, right?

Then Guan Zhuofan "Qianhu", alcohol king "Houhu", after arriving at the Yiyong and loyal Gushan Beizi Mansion, Guan Zhuofan, who walked in front, knelt at the gate as the male host, and then the instrument note was the same as the usual card.

It is very reasonable, because the monarch's major travel is indeed divided into "front" and "back". It's just that the queen mother's visit to relatives is not a major "state event", and under normal circumstances, a former minister can serve as a "subordinate minister", that is, the so-called "follower".

The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, and deduced from beginning to end, and none of the proper rituals were left behind, and nothing could be faulted.

Cixi faintly had such a thought in her heart: such a "pick-up" is a bit like "kissing".

The second interesting place is that this time the Empress Dowager of the two palaces is fortunate and brave and loyal to Gushan Beizi Mansion, and the defense is jointly served by the imperial guards and the Xuanjun Guards Regiment.

The mission of Guan Zhuofan's former minister was to enable him to serve as a "subordinate minister"; The difference of sending Guan Zhuofan to "subordinate the minister" is to lay the foundation for the Xuan Army Guards Regiment to participate in this customs defense.

The division of labor between the Imperial Guards and the Guards is that the Imperial Guards are responsible for the outer courtyard and the Guards are responsible for the inner courtyard.

The fundamental purpose of such a painstaking and circle-wide arrangement is to ensure the "purity" of the inner court, that is, it is 100% of their own people who guard the inner court, because the queen mother of the two palaces wants to discuss the most confidential matters with Guan Zhuofan in the Guan Mansion.

In terms of rank, the first-class guards are only the third grade, and in the Xuan Army Guards Regiment, there are general soldiers, and they are the second rank; There are lieutenants, from the second rank; There are generals, three products, and most of them are given red tops. The rank of the guards officers who participated in the customs defense was only higher than that of the imperial guards, and they were fully qualified to stand guard for the empress dowager of the two palaces.

The outside world would only regard these special arrangements as a special glory for Guan Beizi from the two palaces, and they would never have thought that there would be so many twists and turns in the back.

This time, the two palaces asked the Guan government not to "spend extravagantly", that is, not to prepare literary and artistic programs.

It's not that the Queen Mother suddenly changed her sex, but this time she has to talk about serious and important things, and she doesn't have time to listen to music and watch plays.

When the day came, Guan Zhuofan came over early to "pick up", only to know that the queen mother of Lu Dao was slightly ill, and she couldn't go to the Yiyong and loyal Gushan Beizi Mansion today.

It turned out that Ci'an ate something bad last night, had a stomach upset, and was a little weak, and the doctor saw it, and there was nothing serious, but he had to rest well, so he had to stay in the palace.

So Guan Zhuofan only received the guest of the Queen Mother.

When I arrived at the Guanfu, the old and young of the mansion behaved like a ceremony, and there was no need to make a detailed list.

Guan Zhuofan led Cixi to the inner courtyard, "Please ask the Queen Mother to walk around."

An Dehai and Yu'er followed, and Bai and Ming accompanied them.

Boyan Nemo stayed in the main hall and said that he would "preside over the customs and defense of the outer courtyard". The Mongolian man is rough and arrogant on the surface, but he is like a mirror in his heart, and he knows that people have important things to say, and he is not good to follow the past.

After entering the inner courtyard, Guan Zhuofan invited the Queen Mother to his room to "rest". This time, An Dehai, Yu'er, Bai's, and Ming's didn't follow.

Entering the West Wing, a heat wave rushed in. The "Earth Dragon" lit a fire, plus two smoke cages, and the house was as warm as spring.

Closing the door and lowering the thick cotton curtain, Cixi looked at "his" room curiously, and just wanted to say something, Guan Zhuofan hugged her from behind.

Cixi suddenly became weak.

Guan Zhuofan turned her around and made a mouthful.

Cixi only felt that there was a tide in her body, and the waves were turbulent, and before she knew it, her two arms had wrapped around Guan Zhuofan's neck.

Guan Zhuofan raised his head and said in a low voice: "The fire of the earth dragon is too hot, and the minister will be dressed for the queen mother." ”

Then he came to untie Cixi's clothes.

This time, Guan Zhuofan's movements were much smoother than Fang Jiayuan's, because he had studied this problem for a long time, and had done many "tests" on Bai's body.

Cixi's "flag head" was also untied, and a dense green silk that could be seen was scattered.

Soon, the Queen Mother was gone.

Guan Zhuofan picked up Cixi, put him on the big bed, and pulled the big quilt over. Then he quickly stripped off his own clothes and got into the quilt.

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother."

……

After the clouds and rain subsided, Cixi curled up in Guan Zhuofan's arms like a kitten, gasping slightly, motionless.

The wheezing sound finally evened out, and Cixi's fingers slowly slid across Guan Zhuofan's chest.

She laughed softly and said in a very low voice: "Alas, it is really a rival in the previous life. ”
