Emperor Xianfeng's illness affected the situation, but the ups and downs could not be clearly improved. On the day of longevity on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, the sick emperor, in order to calm down the rumors that had been going on day by day, had to support his sick body and tried to complete the whole set of etiquette.

The princes and nobles who congratulated the emperor on his birthday, as well as some of the Fujin and the women who had been entitled, had all arrived in Rehe at the beginning of June. Prince Gong is still not among them, and the reason for not letting him come is still that the capital is important, and he must be presided over by King Gong, and he cannot leave for a day.

On this morning, the emperor first worshiped the portraits of the ancestors and ancestors enshrined, and then went to the Mingde Hall, and in the sound of the music of His Majesty, he accepted the great gift of the ministers kneeling three times and knocking on the mountain and calling for long live. It was already very hot, and on such an occasion, whether it was the emperor or an official, the heavy robes and gowns were worn without the slightest sloppiness, so they were all sweaty and heavy clothes. The ministers were fine, but the weak emperor felt a little unbearable.

If you can't support it, you have to hold it! This is a good day for yourself, every move is in everyone's eyes, and all hearts are concerned, but don't make any accidents. Inspired by such a belief, the emperor reluctantly became a gift, and then there was a part of giving a banquet and listening to the play, which needed to be completed. The banquet and the play are all set up in the Jingcheng Palace, and there are more than 30 large tables under the stage, and there are always 200 people in the concubines and princes and ministers who are ordered to listen to the play.

The opening scene is a big drama to celebrate the birthday, the drum music is noisy, the excitement is extraordinary, and all kinds of mechanisms on the stage are all opened.

The emperor was the only one who was uncomfortable, he only felt that his ears were roaring, his irritability was abnormal, and his heart seemed to be stuffy. managed to finish watching the opening scene, and when he began to perform a martial arts drama "Three Forks" that he personally ordered, the sluggish emperor cheered up a little.

He really likes to watch dramas, and several famous actors on the stage have also taken out twelve points of ability to serve, and gradually getting better, the emperor left his illness behind for a while. It wasn't until the martial arts little Qilin, who pretended to be Tang Hui, that he flipped off from the platform of Zhang Xu Gao and landed silently, and the emperor just opened his mouth and praised "Okay!" Then he tilted his body, fell on the throne, and fainted.

There was a sudden chaos in the Jingcheng Palace, and more than a dozen eunuchs immediately surrounded the emperor, and a few people in the back, such as Su Shun, Jing Shou, and King Alcohol, rushed forward as the close attendants of the Son of Heaven, and called the imperial doctor repeatedly. The concubines were naturally discolored, and the ministers who didn't dare to leave their seats without permission were all looking around, and a few scenes were already so frightened that they knelt on the stage.

Cao Yuying is the only one, and she remembered Guan Zhuofan's sentence - "The emperor's illness is entangled, and it is extremely difficult to start, and now his spirit is vigorous, but it is just a false appearance." When the summer heat passes, the weather changes, and I am afraid that it will turn dangerous. ”

The words are still in my ears, and I can't help but be shocked when I think about it: "Isn't the summer heat already over......?"

Falling ill on a big day like Wanshou is a very taboo thing and unlucky. The emperor's illness was ferocious, and by the third day, it not only developed to the point that water and rice could not enter, but also fell into "delirium".

Delirium, that is, nonsense, is a very bad sign. For a while, the people in the palace were panicked, and they all had a feeling that a catastrophe was coming. Concubine Yi came together every day, and went to the middle palace to stay with the queen and the eldest brother, not only to comfort each other, but also to wait for the latest news of the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace. The chief eunuch has been here several times, and in addition to reporting the emperor's condition, he also specially explained, asking the eldest brother not to go far.

In the afternoon, a eunuch rushed to spread the news, and the queen and Concubine Yi brought the eldest brother to see him. The two women were surprised and delighted, thinking: Could it be that the emperor has woken up?

The emperor really woke up, and when they rushed to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, they saw Su Shun, Jing Shou and King Alcohol kneeling on the ground, Xianfeng half lying and half leaning on the imperial couch, although the sick body was fragmented, there was still a trace of brilliance in his eyes. Seeing them come in, Xianfeng's eyes turned, and he looked over one by one, and Zuihou was fixed on the eldest brother, with some love, some reluctance, some sadness, and some heaviness in his eyes.

"I'm not going to do it, Yiyun, call someone," Xianfeng said in a weak voice, "Military aircraft, sect orders, kings!" ”

Knowing that the emperor was critically ill, the relatives and ministers of military aircraft had already waited under His Majesty Dan not far from the palace, and they did not dare to leave an inch. At this time, when he saw the colorless King of Alcohol, he rushed over, passed on his will, and knew that the big thing was not good, and he lifted his robe and supported the crown one by one, and he didn't care about his identity and bearing, he ran into the hall out of breath and knelt on the ground in turn. It stands to reason that the queen and Concubine Yi should be avoided, but the emperor still has extremely important things to explain, so he can't help but make an exception.

"The eldest brother Zaichun is born with pure filial piety," Xianfeng glanced at his son, who had just turned six, again, "to be crowned the prince!" ”

The ignorant eldest brother, who was taught by the queen, kowtowed to Amma, which is considered gratitude.

"The seal of my 'royal reward' is for the queen." As soon as the words fell, a eunuch beside him held a delicate small box and sent it to the queen with pear blossoms and rain. The box is open, and there is a jade seal in the middle, on which is engraved the word "Imperial Reward" in Yang.

Xianfeng turned his gaze to Yi Guifei again, looked at it for a long time, sighed lightly, and said, "Take the seal of 'Tongdaotang' and reward it to Yi Guifei." ”

These two seals are very unusual. Concubine Yi knelt on the ground, took it with both hands, and held the jade seal engraved with the words "Tongdaotang" in Yin script, trembling all over her body - three years of cold palace, when the emperor was dying, he was finally forgiven! When the ups and downs are in my heart, I want to cry loudly. The queen who was kneeling in front of her turned around and pulled twice in a row, before she finally held back and fell to the ground whimpering.

"Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun......" Xianfeng trembled and took out a piece of paper from the side of his pillow, and raised it to his eyes with great difficulty and read, "Jingshou, Mu Yin, Du Han, Kuang Yuan, Jiao Youying," a total of eight people's names were pronounced, put down the paper, and looked over, "I, how are you treated?" ”

Everyone knows that the name written on the paper is either proposed by Su Shun, or the emperor and Su Shun discussed and decided. Prince Yi Zaiyuan listened to it and hurriedly said: "The emperor treats the servants like a mountain!" Please recuperate with peace of mind and wait for the dragon to recover ......"

"Live...... Live! No effort...... Say these. Xianfeng knew that this was the moment when he had returned to his glory and was clear, so he drank hard and stopped Zaiyuan, and took a breath before he said again: "Prince, I'll leave it to you." ”

This is in Tuogu! Everyone in the hall was full of tears, and the eight ministers who were named couldn't cry silently, so they could only kowtow again and again. Xianfeng waved his hand weakly and said, "Write the purpose to see." Immediately, a little eunuch brought a few strokes of ink, which was written by Du Han and read with both hands.

"The eldest son of the emperor, Zaichun, is the crown prince, and he sends Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying to assist him wholeheartedly, praise all government affairs, and make a special message!"

"Fat!" Xianfeng nodded, only said this one word, breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

For a long time, Xianfeng still has no new expression. Li Qiusheng, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly stood up, pinched the emperor's pulse, and trembled to test his snort with his hands, and finally stomped his feet, softened to the ground, and cried: "The emperor has returned to heaven!" ”

The queen, who was kneeling on the ground, snorted lightly and fainted. The ministers in the palace howled loudly, and the cry shook the sky, like a circle of ripples, spreading outward from the smoke wave to the cool hall, until the entire palace, there was a mourning.

The next day, the news of the emperor's death spread throughout the forbidden army in Rehe. All battalions are picking cherry blossoms, raising plain flags, and mourning for the emperor, Guan Zhuofan's horse team is no exception, and the officers and soldiers are all crying so much that they can't help themselves.

As the day wore on, more news kept coming.

The crown prince ascended the throne before the crown prince and became the six-year-old emperor.

The eight ministers of Gu ordered to obey the holy decree, assist the young master, and praise all government affairs.

The queen was promoted to the queen mother, called the queen mother, and was called Ci'an.

Concubine Yi was named the Queen Mother, called the Queen Mother, and was called Cixi.

On this day, Guan Zhuofan, the "fake flag man", had no tears to shed, so he didn't go out of the tent and sat alone in contemplation.

One era is over, he thought, another is about to begin.
