At this point, Ci'an can already determine that King Alcohol's trip to Fujin was not at the behest of King Alcohol, but her own idea.

The Alcohol King Fujin is not a wise woman, however, the woman's intuition has led her to take a very clever way to ask Ci'an for the Alcohol King to forgive him - leaving no room for blaming the Alcohol King.

You see, I've already scolded him so badly!

Subtext: Don't be angry with him anymore, right?

This method is already effective, especially for the generous Ci'an. However, the key to this matter is not in the attitude of King Fujin, but in the attitude of King Alcohol himself.

At this moment, the attitude of King Alcohol, which Ci'an can see, is to lift the table, smash bottles, and smash jars after receiving the order - in any case, this cannot be regarded as a "plea for forgiveness".

As mentioned earlier, the trip of the Alcohol King Fujin was not at the behest of the Alcohol King - if the Alcohol King Fujin was sent by the Alcohol King, then it can be considered that this is a move by the Alcohol King to regret admitting his mistake and begging for forgiveness after a round of attacks.

The action of the alcohol king is - early in the morning, he disappeared with a close master.

I don't know why, this action is faintly unsettling.

"'Crazy heart'......" Ci'an smiled bitterly, "You are talking about this, it's too serious, if it's not good, just say that the Seventh Master 'can't get along with his own people'——"

After a pause, "Actually, only in this way does it show that the Seventh Master really has no selfishness of his own, and it is indeed ...... Uh, 'impartiality'. ”

"Only so" and other literary crepe words, rarely from the mouth of the queen mother, the queen mother, the alcohol king Fujin heard a little disobedient, but she quickly grabbed the words and said: "Yes, yes!" What the Queen Mother said is that Yi Xun really has no selfishness! ”

paused slightly, "But, but, if you do something bad with good intentions, you can do something bad!" If he does something bad, even if he is well-intentioned and public-minded, I think that this 'upright justice', no matter how much he brags about himself, he can't afford it! Alas, this person is confused, and he doesn't know what to say about him! ”

What King Fujin emphasized was that King Alcohol did not have his own "selfishness" and was motivated by "good intentions", however, she did not really hear the deep meaning of Ci'an's words.

In the dialogue between the two concubines, the words "one is fair" come from King Alcohol's defense of his remarks that "the Queen Mother wants to avoid suspicion", and Ci'an affirmed King Alcohol's "one Bing is fair", which is actually equivalent to indirectly affirming his accusation against Cixi.

As for whether King Alcohol's remarks are consistent with the facts, and whether they are really "good intentions to do bad things", Ci'an did not evaluate them.

King Alcohol Fujin didn't know that in the mind of the Queen Mother, some of what King Alcohol said was "doing bad things with good intentions", and some of them did not belong to "doing bad things with good intentions".

For example, to Guan Zhuofan, a "quasi-imperial husband", imitate the example of the emperor's biological father, the heir of the small sect, and "retreat to the domain", which is "doing bad things with good intentions"; However, "the Queen Mother wants to avoid suspicion" does not belong to "doing something bad with good intentions".

However, with Ci'an's eloquence, there was no way to express this meaning to King Fujin both tactfully and clearly, and there was a brief silence between the concubines.

After a while, the alcohol king Fujin spoke.

"There's something," she said again, "the concubine doesn't know...... Uh, should I ask......"

"Say," said Tzu An, "there is no one else here, nothing should be done." ”

"Yes," King Fu Jin looked at Ci'an's expression and said cautiously, "What the concubine wants to ask is about Beijing, uh, Tianjin...... Well, the concubine is saying, this, does the Queen Mother know? ”

Compassion jumped in peace.

However, this question is not unexpected.

She sighed and said, "I don't know, I don't even know if the Emperor Daxing is a guest, and I don't know what happened after that, not to mention it." ”

"Ah......h

"I don't dare to tell her—" said Tzu An, "I mean, these things must be told to her face to face, and I dare not use only letters, telegrams, or ...... Send someone who has nothing to do with her to tell her, otherwise, she can't explain it clearly, and she can't comfort or explain it, then, wouldn't it be a bad thing for her? ”

"Uh...... It's ......"

"She is now," Ci'an said, "is praying for Emperor Wenzong's meditation, a great merit, and if she is not careful, she will be wasted!" ”

"Yes......"

"I think," said Ci'an, "get rid of the matter at hand, and then go to Tientsin and tell her these things in person." ”

King Fujin was slightly shocked, his eyes suddenly glowed, and his tone became very eager: "May I ask the Queen Mother, when the time comes, can the concubines ...... Followed the Queen Mother? ”

Ci'an was stunned.

This request was unexpected.

Ci'an thought for a while, and said with great embarrassment: "This, I'm afraid...... Can't you? The system of the imperial court does not seem to have the rules for the prince Fujin to go out of Beijing......"

King Fujin leaned forward slightly, and his tone was still very eager: "The Queen Mother is on patrol, there should be a woman to serve her, right?" In this name, is it okay? ”

Ci'an lacked the talent to adapt, so he couldn't help but be quite embarrassed, so he had to say: "This, I have to ...... Well, discuss it with Kwan Zhuofan. ”

"Good, good ......"

After a pause, King Fujin changed his hesitant tone: "But, Yixuan is ...... now How? ”

Ci'an smiled bitterly and said: "You are asking the point-right now, Guan Zhuofan is also making trouble, can you come back in the next two days-I mean, back to the military aircraft department-I don't know, I said 'discuss', but where is the person who 'discusses', I haven't counted yet!" ”

Alcohol King Fujin said gloomily: "It's all bad for Yiyun." ”

"Okay, that's not necessary."

Silence reappeared.

After a while, it was the alcohol king Fujin who spoke first, and his voice trembled slightly: "There is another matter, the concubine really doesn't know...... Should I ask? ”

Her expression, like that of a frightened fawn, was stunned, and she seemed to have some movement, and she would jump up and run away.

Ci'an couldn't help but be surprised, and Wen Yan said, "You say." ”

The appearance of King Fujin of alcohol, as if the words in his mouth had weight, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "The concubine heard a statement and said that it was ...... Say yes, uh, the Queen Mother came back from Tianjin, she can't, can't ......"

She swallowed her saliva, and finally said the following words: "I can't be the Queen Mother anymore......"

Ci'an was shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Who did you listen to?!" ”

"This ......"

You don't have to ask.

"I don't care who said this to you—" said Ci'an categorically, "Anyway, there will never be such a thing!" ”

After a pause, "It doesn't matter who the heir emperor is, and it doesn't matter what she has done...... Our Lady and Queen Mother are all her! It's all Yehnara. Xingzhen! ”

After another pause, "If I have her, I will have her!" Don't worry, if she doesn't become the Queen Mother, I won't be the Queen Mother! ”

The gratitude of King Fujin was beyond words, she endured it and endured it, and the tears still couldn't stop flowing, but this time, she didn't reach out to wipe it, but stood up, took a step away, faced Ci'an, and knelt down.

"Concubine...... For my sister...... Thank you to the Queen Mother! ”

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

When the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager swore to the king of Alcohol County, the four ministers of military aircraft went to Xishan and found the Jietai Temple.

And yet—

"Palindrome Zhongtang," the presiding officer of the Jietai Temple smiled all over his face, "The prince has indeed come to our temple, but he has already left. ”

The four big military planes were stunned together.

"How long has the prince been here?" Cao Yuying said, "When did you leave?" ”

"Replying to Lord Cao," said the host, "stay for a while, it's about ...... Well, I left half an hour ago. ”

"Do you know where the prince has gone?"

"This, the prince didn't explain, the little monk ...... I don't dare to talk too much. ”

The four big military planes all have a sense of helplessness - Xishan is so big, where can they find someone now?

"The prince is in your temple," Guo Songtao asked, "what have you done?" ”

The host hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to Lord Guo, there is nothing too special, just drink a cup of tea, have some fasting food, and then, accompanied by the little monk, walked around." ”

"How is the prince?"

"Well, the little monk thought ...... It's still good. ”

"Hmm...... Is there a Buddha worship? ”

Wen, Cao, and Xu looked at the host together.

The host's face showed a slight look of embarrassment, and said, "Well, this, naturally, there are ...... too"

After a pause, he smiled, "Stand solemnly, clasp your palms, bow your head, and then, put on a pillar of incense." ”

The four big military planes looked at each other: It's okay.

Xu Gengshen said: "Has the prince made merits? ”

"Uh, Lord Huixu, this ...... Did. ”

"How much?"

The host became more and more embarrassed, and thought to himself: I have leaked all the bottom of Prince Xuan, Buddha bless, don't make any moths.

But he couldn't help but answer: "Well, yes...... Five hundred taels. ”

The four big military planes looked at each other again: it's okay - not too little, but not too much.

After the interrogation, the host smiled and said, "A few adults, it's hard to come from afar, do you want to have a little fasting in our temple......"

"No need," Wen Xiang smiled, "However, if you are in a good state, you have to follow fate, please use the function book!" ”

The host's face, smiling like a flower, went upside down, and after a while, he came over with a thick merit book.

Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo each signed the merit of twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver, for the state cardinals and first-class officials, it seems to be a little too little, but the host knows that none of these four are corrupt officials, and none of them are serious believers in Buddhism.

The four military planes discussed it and thought that since the prince had already left the Jietai Temple, he should not spend the night in Xishan - could it be that he would go to the second Buddhist temple to "follow the fate"? There is no need and should not be searched like a fly in the West Mountain, or go back to the city and go to the Xuanwang Mansion to wait for the rabbit.

Besides, maybe the prince has already returned to the city.

Back in the inner city, it was already the beginning of the lights.

As soon as I entered the city, I went straight to the north street of Chaonei, and when I arrived at Prince Xuan's mansion, there was a surprise-

"Back to my lords," said the door of King Xuan's mansion, "the prince returned to his house half an hour ago." ”

But—

"But, uh, the prince has already settled ......"

What the? So early? Isn't that an excuse to turn people away from thousands of miles away?

If so, this excuse ...... Sucks, right?

"Excuse me, my lords, if it is not a will, it is not an urgent military situation, small ...... Uh, I don't dare to bother......"

The four big military planes were quite embarrassed, and the documents of the westward expedition and the note to Russia could not be regarded as "emergency military information"; What about the "will"? The Queen Mother said, "You will also frame him for me" - barely a "verbal message". However, now that they have returned, this "oracle" has no meaning.

was at a loss, and said on the door: "That's it, Tujunmen is still in the house, a few adults will invite the flower hall to serve tea first, and I will go to Tujunmen for instructions, what should I do?" ”

Tujunmen, that is, Tulin, he has been added to the rank of admiral, so the door calls him "Junmen".

It's good.

As soon as he sat down in the flower hall, he heard the sonorous spurs outside the door, and then, Tulin, dressed in military uniform, strode in.

The four big military planes all stood up.

Tu Lin stood still, raised his hands and foreheads, gave a military salute, and then said: "I am not vain and polite, and I don't dare to talk to Zhongtang and the three adults-the prince has really been settled." If the matter is not too urgent, if the adults have anything to say, you can explain it to me, and I will return to the prince early tomorrow morning; Or, a few adults are affected, and tomorrow will run here again, I promise...... Ming'er must be waiting in the mansion. ”

Several big military planes relaxed slightly, and Wen Xiang said: "Today's trip to Xishan, is the prince tired, and his body is not very refreshing?" ”

Thurin shook his head slightly: "The prince has been fighting horses for a long time, and he will go to Xishan today, but if he turns around casually, where can he be tired?" Don't hide it from Zhongtang and the three adults, the prince is really-"

Paused slightly, "I'm tired." ”

Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo were all shocked.

"The prince said," said Túrin, "'I haven't slept well in all these years, but now I have to get a good night's sleep!'" ’”

After a pause, "Alas, when the prince said this, the look on his face was in a trance, and I haven't seen it since I followed the prince!" ”

The hearts of several big military planes who let go of it a little couldn't help but raise it again.

Looking at the situation, it is not very optimistic.

In the end, the text of the expedition to the west and the note to Russia were all left, and Túrin promised that as soon as the prince of Ming'er woke up, he would hand it over to him as soon as possible; The four big military planes said that after they were on duty, they would come to "ask for training."

King Xuan's Mansion left four big military planes for dinner, and this time, the four big military planes politely declined, because, although they were hungry, they had to hurry back to the palace to pay the order.

At this time, the palace gate has already been keyed, at this point, the minister of military aircraft enters the palace and hands over the sign, which is an extremely rare thing, and it is inevitable that people will be uneasy. However, the matter has come to this point, and the longer it drags on, the more uneasy people's hearts will become.

Moreover, if you don't go back to the palace to pay the decree, the one from the Zhong Cui Palace, tonight, don't want to sleep.

Besides, after paying the decree, the Queen Mother may still have an edict.

It turned out that several large military aircraft were right.

The Queen Mother gave this message:

"Don't toss and toss like this anymore, you guys, hurry up and eat something, and then go to the north side street of the inner side again. Didn't Guan Zhuofan sleep? Well, don't disturb him, just tell that Túrin, after the Ming'er military plane is 'called', I will personally come to Prince Xuan's mansion and ask them to prepare." ”
