Chapter 65: Conspiracy
The minister who ordered the minister to put the car on hold has lasted for four days, and the government has been completely paralyzed during these four days.
The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces still did not give in, but psychologically, she was basically on the verge of collapse, and repeatedly picked up the edict left by Du Han to reprimand Dong Yuanol, and wanted to hand it over, but when she thought of this, she admitted defeat and relented, and was afraid that she would never have a chance to turn over, so she threw down the edict again and wandered around the room.
"Sister, I don't think I can be so stiff anymore." The Empress Dowager Ci'an is not a person who has no ideas, after relieving herself from the initial fright, in the past few days, she weighed the benefits and disadvantages in her heart, and spoke at this moment, "Sushun They don't let people do things, and there is no news from the sixth master in Beijing, so if it goes on like this, the government will be in chaos." ”
"Sister, I can't bear this breath." Cixi gritted her fine and neat white teeth, and said hatefully, "I just don't bow my head, look at Su Liu, what do you dare to do to us!" ”
"That's not what I said," the Empress Dowager Ci'an persuaded, "we are masters, they are slaves, and now although we are evil slaves and bullying masters, but—"
However, this home is his own after all. It's like a slave who doesn't do things, can the master still compete with the slave, saying that if you don't do it, I won't do it, let's consume it, and as a result, we will watch this family decay?
Cixi knew that the Empress Dowager Ci'an's words were reasonable, but if she wanted to bow her head to the evil slave anyway, she felt unwilling, thought about it, and said in despair: "Then they will do whatever they want in the future, don't say that our sisters, even the emperor, they will not take it in their eyes anymore!" ”
The Empress Dowager Ci'an said softly: "When the emperor grows up, isn't there an example of Kangxi?" ”
Cixi's heart moved--this honest and loyal sister said something interesting. The former Kangxi Emperor also grew up under the care of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and endured how many years of worship by the ministers of Gu Order, and finally cut him off. But the current situation is different from the past after all, Gu Ming Eight Ministers, except for Jing Shou, don't talk much, the other seven are ironclad, and there are two bastards Zaiyuan and Duanhua in the middle, helping Su Shun to do evil as a prince, even if the emperor grows up, can he really turn it over?
When he was struggling and helpless, he suddenly saw An Dehai walking in gently, with a happy face, and knelt on the ground: "Master, there is a good letter." ”
In the past few days, the clouds have been gloomy, and the people in the palace are also panicking, and now they actually heard that there is a good letter, and the two queen mothers are in good spirits, Cixi asked: "What good letter?" ”
"Guan Zhuofan is back."
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an turned her head and looked at Cixi, "Is it the leader you said last time?" ”
"It's him!" Cixi seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dark night. She knew that just Guan Zhuofan's return could not be called a good letter, An Dehai was happy, it must be Guan Zhuofan who had some news for him to bring in.
"What did he tell you?"
"He first asked the servant to bring a sentence, saying that he would respectfully ask the Queen Mother to consider it - 'If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, take a step back and open the sky'."
"Oh-" The two queen mothers said this word in unison, and they seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, but what they thought in their hearts was very different.
What the Empress Dowager Ci'an heard from her words was "forbearance" and "retreat", which seemed to be different from her own opinion, so she nodded and felt very reasonable.
And this sentence is completely different to Cixi's ears, and it has a deep meaning. What she heard was that after Xiao Ren endured, he had a "big plan", and after taking a step back, he could "open the sea and the sky", that is to say, he must have made a plan outside, although he didn't know what the arrangement was, but it had made her feel at ease and increased her expectations.
An Dehai knelt forward and said in a very small voice: "He also said that the soldiers of the minister Shengbao can go to Rehe tomorrow to escort the two queen mothers." ”
"Huh?" The two queen mothers were pleasantly surprised, and Huo Di stood up. Cixi suddenly understood that Guan Zhuofan was not going to "lead the troops to train", but to move the Shengbao army!
"Prince Gong has been appointed as the Minister of Funeral Rites, please visit Zi Palace!" An Dehai continued, "Guan Zhuofan said that the prince can go to Rehe within a month! ”
The sky is full of gloomy clouds and mist and suddenly turns into light clouds and light winds! The news came too much, too good, so that the queen mother of the two palaces could hardly bear it, and the grievances of many days turned into tears and burst out of her eyes.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces bowed her head!
The eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office and Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department began to get very busy, and they had a backlog of all kinds of documents for four days, not a joke.
In the midst of the military plane, the ministers who took care of their lives celebrated with their heads and were overjoyed. Duanhua happily shouted: "Sixth, it's still your trick!" Even one of the lords in the west who is so strong still let you tame it. ”
This sentence has been close to a great rebellion, but everyone was happy, but they didn't care, only Su Shun had a gloomy face and didn't speak.
"Yuting, what's wrong?" Zaiyuan patted Su Shun, "I see that you have something on your mind." ”
"I have something on my mind," Su Shun nodded, and said unhurriedly, "It's all like you, I think it's the day when we go to the market." ”
Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment, looking at him inexplicably.
"People have no foresight, they must have near-term worries, and this matter cannot be finished!" Su Shun shook his head and said, "This time we won, what if we are like this next time?" After returning to Beijing, what if it is still like this? ”
"Rain Pavilion, you mean ......"
"Strike while the iron is hot! Take this opportunity to set the rules for the two of them. Su Shun's eyes flashed with a gloomy light, "Let them see the excerpts, it was originally superfluous, and there will be no such thing in the future!" As for the two seals in their hands."
Everyone raised their hearts and did not know what he was going to do.
"Close!" Su Shun waved his hand and said categorically, "Handed over to the celebrant for safekeeping, every time you use the seal, keep the file as usual, and inform them." ”
Even Su Shun's sworn friend, when he heard this, he had a thrilling feeling. The two jade seals of "Imperial Reward" and "Tongdaotang" were given by Emperor Daxing to the current Queen Mother of the Two Palaces in front of the ministers and nobles in the house.
"Yuting, this ...... Isn't this a rebellion? Prince Yi was stunned for a long time, and finally asked this sentence.
"This is not called rebellion!" Su Shun said confidently, "Minister Gu Ming, serve the young master, and can't be hindered by the Queen Mother in everything!" We have the final say on the current matter, and when the emperor grows up in the future, he will naturally return to him. ”
Duanhua also raised a question: "Sixth, what you said to receive, if they refuse to pay, what should I do?" “
"If you don't want to pay, you have to pay." Su Shun said coldly, "Otherwise, what is the use of my guards at the sticky pole?" ”
Speaking of which, if the two palaces refuse to hand over the seal, they still have to be coerced by force, which is actually no different from rebellion. The sticky pole is also called "Shangyu Standby Place", hundreds of guards, who are only responsible for accompanying the emperor to catch fish and birds on weekdays, and have no serious errands. Su Shun grabbed this soldier in his hands, and the reward was very generous, and he slowly became his personal soldier.
Zaiyuan was not as bold as Su Shun, and after thinking about it, he still asked: "If the emperor grows up in the future and investigates this matter, what should I do?" ”
"The emperor is still more than ten years away from his pro-government, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Su Shun said indifferently, "Let's figure it out first." I dare to say that if you don't follow my method, once the two of them are allowed to turn over the case, all the princes here will not be able to get a corpse if they want to ask for a corpse at that time! ”
This sentence hits the nail on the head. If the minister takes care of his life, he puts the car on hold with negative anger and cuts off the contact between the queen mother of the two palaces and the outside world, if it is investigated, it can also be a big crime of losing his head. Therefore, although the method proposed by Su Shun was fierce, it was finally accepted by everyone, only the honest and useless Jing Shou was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was a good forehead, and he was pulled by them to fill the number, and now he was involved in such a rebellious case for no reason, I really don't know where to start?
Now that the purpose has been decided, Su Shun began to assign each person's errands, and at the same time decided to invite the two houses tomorrow and inform them of the things agreed upon today. If they are willing to speak and listen well, that's it, if things are not harmonious, then they have to use force!
was discussing so quietly, a military machine named Zheng Xiying, Zhang Jing, holding a folded envelope in his hand, asked to see him outside the value of Lu. Zheng Xiying has always been very stammering with Su Shun, so Su Shun didn't care about it and asked him to come in.
"What's wrong?"
"Qiyu Zhongtang, Shengbao's soldiers have arrived at Xianpukou." Zheng Xiying was stunned and said, "This is the fold he handed over." ”
"What?" Su Shun snatched the fold, opened it, and saw that on the fold of Huang Aya's hard mounting, it was the joint title of Shengbao and Wen Yu, the governor of Zhili, and the nine big characters in the text of the excerpt were dazzling and came into view.
"Respectfully the Empress Dowager bows to Yi'an!"
