Early in the morning of September 23, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces led the little emperor to finish the memorial ceremony in front of the Daxing Emperor Zigong Palace, and then Zaiyuan, Duanhua and other subordinates hurriedly returned to Beijing from Jiandao. Su Shun, Alcohol Wang Yiyun, Chen Fuen and others were left to escort Zigong slowly behind. Gu Ming Bachen had no troops to adjust at this time, so the army that undertook the vigilance and escort along the way, on the surface, it seemed that there were several teams, but in fact, the most important thing was the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army of Wang Yiyun of Alcohol County, the infantry army that Rui Chang had just taken over from Duanhua and the troops that Shengbao had previously assigned to assist in the defense. A large number of miscellaneous people under the command of Wen Yu, the acting governor of Zhili, were mostly on the periphery or scattered in various palaces.

On September 29, the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor of the Two Palaces arrived safely at Deshengmen in Beijing, and Prince Gong Yixin led the princes and ministers who "stayed in Beijing" and hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet them. Last autumn, the Anglo-French army reached Tongzhou, and Emperor Xianfeng fled from the Old Summer Palace to Chengde in panic. At that time, it was to escape for his life, and it was definitely a dog chasing a rabbit, and it took eight days to complete this journey. At this time, when there were no chasing soldiers, the empress dowager and the emperor of the two palaces actually completed this journey in only six days, which shows how urgent they were to return to Beijing at this time. Among the seven masters who followed the eight ministers, except for Du Han, who felt slightly strange, everyone else actually felt normal. Because they have also been in exile for almost a year, they are also anxious to return to their homes in Beijing to have a look.

However, the thoughts of the two palaces are different from these masters, they are anxious not because they miss the "old residence" and the people in Beijing, but because they are anxious to meet with Yixin who is staying in Beijing. Although they don't know what Yi Xin is going to do, as long as Yi Xin can quickly get rid of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, completely abolish the system of Gu Ming ministers, and implement a new system in which the queen mother hangs the curtain on the top and Prince Gong governs the government, it is enough to get out of their hearts.

Before entering the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces couldn't wait to urgently summon Prince Gong Yixun, University Scholar Gui Liang (Yi Xin's father-in-law, now a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and the first assistant of the cabinet), Jia Zhen, Zhou Zupei, and the only Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang who stayed in Beijing. Although Yi Xin's explanation was very simple, Cixi still knew that the main purpose of this time was to exaggerate the atmosphere, and she pulled Ci'an to play sensational. The queen mother of the two palaces cried bitterly at these important ministers, and counted how the eight ministers were domineering and how they bullied orphans and widows. Zhou Zupei, who already had a "bad day" enmity with Su Shun and had a premeditated plan, couldn't help but interrupt the Queen Mother's words.

"Why doesn't the Queen Mother punish her again?" Zhou Zupei said loudly, as if Su Shun had been taken under the stairs now.

"They are both the ministers of the Daxing Emperor and the ministers of the Zanxiang Emperor, can they also be punished for their crimes?" Cixi is really a little vague, she knows that Yixin is going to do it, but she doesn't know how to do it. However, she still has the qualities that a political actor should have, and she looked at Zhou Zupei pitifully as if she didn't know it.

"The queen mother can first issue a decree to remove them from office, and then she can punish them for their crimes." Zhou Zupei said triumphantly, but when he spoke in the vernacular, the core members of the real Yixin Party didn't say a word.

"Oh!" Cixi looked at Yi Xin and knew that the purpose of this summons was just to create an atmosphere, and this Zhou Zupei, who was jumping up and down, was simply a mallet.

Without the eight ministers, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces would not have made any will at all, would the eight ministers draft a will to remove themselves from their posts? Zhou Zupei is simply a fool's dream. Yi Xin's meeting with the two palaces this time was just to let Cixi and Ci'an exaggerate the atmosphere of the eight ministers being domineering, just to fight for more wall grass. As for this Zhou Zupei, in order to avenge the personal feud between him and Su Shun, he can jump as soon as he wants! Just use him to distract Zaigaki and a few other idiots.

Yi Xin still thinks too much, he doesn't need Zhou Zupei to distract anyone's attention at all, Zaiyuan and Duanhua are much more idiots than he thought. Du Han and Kuang Yuan and others were still behind at this time, not in front of the car, and only Zaiyuan and Duanhua were driving. These two people are really Su Shun, not to mention political sensitivity, they don't even have the vigilance of normal people, and they actually turn a blind eye to the behavior of the two palaces to summon the "foreign ministers".

In the agreement of the "four-day secret talks", there is a very important clause that the queen mother of the two palaces is not allowed to summon foreign ministers. Now that the two palaces have summoned Yixin and a large number of other people, it is completely an illegal operation, and Zaiyuan and Duanhua should stop it. Even if they can't wipe off their faces, Du Han has already thought of an excuse for them, "Young uncle and sister-in-law, you should avoid suspicion!" In a word, Yi Xin can be scolded back. Jae-won and Duanhua didn't stop them, and when they were all done, they felt that something was wrong, and then they made a more idiotic choice. In order to prevent several other people from complaining about them, they actually detained the news, let alone sending a letter to Su Shun, and even Du Han and the others did not tell them.

That night, Cixi sent An Dehai to give Yixin a gift, this time not a paper cut, but a relic of Xianfeng. Xianfeng likes to watch dramas, so there are a lot of sticks used when picking dramas, and it is one of the sticks that Cixi gave to Yixin, and the drama on it is Xianfeng's last "Antiy Club". Yi Xin immediately understood what Cixi meant, and they gave a person a code name - Sun Monkey. At the end of the play "An Tianhui", Sun Monkey was arrested by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and Cixi meant that Sun Monkey had stopped cooking, so he didn't have to worry about him coming out to stir up the situation.

Yi Xin just wants to deal with Su Shun and seize power, and he is also very disgusted with such things as the curtain of the two palaces. The reason why Cixi was able to easily get Yi Xin's approval of him in the negotiation with Yi Xin was that in addition to the fact that he had to use the "curtain system" to overthrow the "Zanxiang system" politically, an important reason was that Cixi had the killer weapon to deal with Sun Monkey.

The last trouble "Sun Monkey" Cixi has been arranged, and Yixin has nothing to be polite about, Zhou Zupei's mallet is over, and it is time for his people to play immediately. On September 30, the 11th year of Xianfeng, the heavyweights of the Qing Dynasty, Jia Zhen, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Zhou Zupei, a scholar of Tirenge University, Shen Zhaolin, a scholar of the household department, and Zhao Guang, a scholar of the criminal department, all "made a brilliant debut".

And their time is very good, when their recital was handed to the military aircraft, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others were "meeting" with the two palaces, and they didn't see their recital. Zaiyuan and the others "finished meeting" and haven't returned to the value yet! The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces has once again crossed the Minister of Gu Ming and directly summoned Prince Gong Yixun, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wenhuadian University Scholar Guiliang, as well as the University Scholars Jia Zhen and Zhou Zupei, and the Minister of Military Aircraft, Lang Wenxiang, the left servant of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, and other important ministers.

Zaiyuan, Duanhua and other seven ministers came out of the inner palace and returned to the military aircraft in the Longzong Gate of the Forbidden City "Zhilu" (that is, the office of the ministers of military aircraft), just happened to meet Prince Gong leading the above-mentioned important ministers to pass, Zaiyuan and Duanhua realized that it was extraordinary, and immediately stepped forward to ask the reason, and King Gong replied directly, "I am here." At this point, Zaiyuan just understands it anymore, and Yixin's move must be prepared.

"Sixth Uncle (clan ranking, Zaiyuan is younger than King Gong, so he is called this) Isn't this a joke? The family law of our dynasty, the queen mother cannot summon foreign ministers, and the sixth uncle must also know it. The situation is already very serious, and Zaigaki can only pretend to be calm.

Yi Xin looked at the old nephew and stopped talking, just smiled, and the two groups of people were deadlocked in the Long Sect. The time was not big, and the eunuchs in the palace appeared at the right time, and solemnly summoned King Gong and others. Zaiyuan was already extremely angry at this time, and he didn't care about his prince's ceremonial status, so he grabbed the collar of the eunuch.

"Tell me clearly, are you passing on the emperor's 'edict' or the queen mother's 'edict'?" Because the emperor is only six years old, he naturally will not pass on any "edicts", but if it is said that it is the decree of the queen mother, it is obviously a violation of the ancestral system, so Zaiyuan is in a hurry to ask this question.

"The ancestral family law, the queen mother is not allowed to summon foreign ministers, otherwise what is the difference between hanging the curtain and listening to the government?" The eunuch was naturally at a loss, so Zaiyuan threw the eunuch away, turned around and reiterated his position to Yixin and the others again, which was also the provisions of the ancestral family law.

"Courtiers of the outer court, no trespass into the palace! Sixth, you have to think clearly. Duanhua was also anxious, and pointed at Yi Xin with his finger and said threatening words.

"These words, you still have to save them for tomorrow to say to the Queen Mother in person." King Gong sneered and said, and then led all the important ministers to grow inside.

Zaiyuan and the others were in a hurry to lose their popularity, but they really had nothing to do, but they were not willing to stop there, and they were in a hurry at the gate of the duty house.

"Two princes, there must be demons when things go wrong, find a way to transfer troops!" Duhan's head was sweating, too.

"What did you say?" The six below Zaigaki are all stupid.

"Devil Six must be prepared, the devil knows what tricks he has, hurry up and send someone to send a letter to Yuting, find a way to transfer troops! This Beijing is the territory of Devil Six, and if something happens, it will be completely destroyed! Du Han stomped his foot in a hurry.

"Who's going to be in a hurry? Where do we have soldiers? Duan Hua also shook his hands, he just handed over the military power of the infantry army that he brought back yesterday to Rui Chang.

"No, no, let's wait and see what happens, he still dares to hold the two palaces and the emperor hostage!" Zaiyuan appeased everyone, and until now, they still think that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is on the same side as them.

Du Han has no choice, although he is the think tank of the eight ministers and the actual number two person, but he is different from Su Shun, he can't say that Zaiyuan and Duanhua can't be said at all. This is also an important factor in the inevitable bad luck of the eight ministers, Su Shun and Du Han, who can actually take charge of things, have insufficient qualifications, prestige, and official titles, and can only put two straw bales on the table. Although Zaiyuan and Duanhua are wastes, they are the kings of iron hats, and they are two generations of Gu Life, so naturally they have the final say. Su Shun can become the actual leader, not because he is much smarter than Du Han, but because he has many more problems than Du Han. The reason why everyone listens to him is that he can control Zaiyuan and Duanhua. Now that Su Shun is not here, Du Han can't say that the two foolish cars can't move at all, and he can only hope that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces can use the "Mandate of Heaven" to suppress Yixin.

However, the queen mother of the two palaces, whom they trust very much, has once again finished crying and crying against these important ministers, and once again counted the various crimes of Su Shun and other eight ministers who took care of their orders in Chengde and took power, and after obtaining the unanimous support of all the important ministers, they immediately promulgated three edicts that Yixin had prepared in advance, the main content of which is four major articles.

1. Inform the Cabinet and the Ministers of the King to discuss the affairs of the Queen Mother and the Prince's auxiliary affairs;

2. Instructed the Cabinet to dismiss the Minister of Zanxiang from his post and to send Prince Gong and other members of the Council of the Empress Dowager to listen to political matters;

3. The edict will remove Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Prince Zheng Duanhua from their positions, and hand them over to the Zongren Mansion in conjunction with the scholars, the Sixth Ministry, the Jiuqing, the Han, the Zhan, the Ke, and the Daoyan to discuss the crimes;

Fourth, the special edict Prince Rui Renshou and the Alcohol County Wang Yixun immediately dismissed Hu from the Sushun of the Zigong Palace, and immediately arrested and escorted to Beijing, and the Tongzong People's Mansion together with the scholars, the Sixth Department, the Jiuqing, the Han, the Zhan, the Branch, and the Daoyan to discuss the crime.
