The list of ministers who care for their lives was indeed drawn up by Su Shun, but since it was approved by Emperor Daxing, no one dared to say anything. However, this list has a fatal weakness, that is, not only does it snub the most qualified King Gong, but there is no close relative of the imperial family in the list. It was only in order to hide people's eyes and ears that he put the six-forehead Jingshou, who was the brother-in-law of Emperor Daxing, into the list and used it to prevaricate the mouth of the world.

In this way, not only are the Qing councils holding grievances for King Gong, but also Emperor Yin's shili naturally gathered around King Gong, which made King Gong's strength grow further. But King Gong also had a headache, that is, he was unable to establish contact with the empress dowager of the two palaces - to overthrow Su Shun, he had to obtain the support and understanding of the two palaces. Although I have always heard that the two young queen mothers are not on good terms with Su Shun, especially the Queen Mother of the West Palace, when she was still Concubine Yi, she had a big quarrel with Su Shun, but now that the world has changed, I wonder if their perception of Su Shun as a minister has changed?

The saying of "the Empress Dowager of the East, the Empress Dowager of the West" came out of the palace, and the reason was that the Empress Dowager Ci'an moved into the East Warm Pavilion next to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, and the Empress Dowager Cixi moved into the West Warm Pavilion.

Coincidentally, when King Gong was distressed that he could not contact the two palaces, the queen mother of the two palaces was also distressed by the inability to contact King Gong.

"Brother Guan," An Dehai still invited Guan Zhuofan to dinner at the old place in Xijiaomen. During the national funeral, they didn't dare to use wine, so the two of them sat in the private room, just drinking tea, "Su Shun is getting more and more arrogant, and today he is so angry with the master." ”

Since taking Guan Zhuofan to see Concubine Yi at night twice, An Dehai has treated Guan Zhuofan even more differently. Although I don't know what Concubine Yi said to him, Guan Zhuofan is "his own person", there is no doubt about it.

"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan pretended to be surprised, he really wanted to hear what was going on, "Su Shun dares to be so bold in front of the Queen Mother?" ”

"I don't think he took the two queen mothers in his eyes at all." An Dehai said hatefully, "Even the year name dares to be determined!" ”

The new monarch ascended to the pole, as usual, to change the yuan, the new era name, the minister should put forward a few alternatives, and then ask the queen mother to circle. And Su Shun didn't know if he forgot it for a while, or didn't take this rule as a thing at all, and directly wrote the new year name into the edict, and as long as the two queen mothers used the seal, they would be promulgated in the world.

The new year's name is written "Qixiang", let's not talk about the quality of the text, so despise the Queen Mother, but it is unacceptable to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who is more or less familiar with political affairs.

"The first emperor is in Japan, is this also the rule?" The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, pushed the edict outward, stared at Su Shun and said.

Su Shun was speechless for a while, but she didn't expect to be caught by her. However, he did not take the blame, but immediately made a big statement, talking about the emptiness of the treasury from the withering people's livelihood, from the twisted bandits in Jiangbei to the "long hair" in Jiangnan, stressing that the people are now panicking, and setting the name of the year early can help stabilize the political situation. After foaming at the mouth, he simply asked someone to take a cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was six brand-new mother coins with the words "Qixiang Heavy Treasure" on it.

"Queen Mother, please look, this is what money looks like!" Su Shun pointed his finger and said, "As long as the year name is issued, the new money can be minted and passed immediately, and the prices of the people can be stabilized, isn't this a great thing?" ”

This is tantamount to cross-examining the Queen Mother, and the tone can be said to be extremely rude. The truth he said, although it is good, has never been able to make up for that loophole: how many alternative era names can be circled by the Queen Mother in person, and how many quarters of an hour can it take? Why dare you make your own decisions and even make a good mold for new money? Such naked contempt, even the loyal Empress Dowager Ci'an felt that it was really unreasonable.

However, at this point, there is no way not to listen to him, and finally destroy the template of new money and recast it? I had to swallow my anger, put a seal on the edict, and when I returned to the palace, I naturally scolded Su Shun for being hateful.

"Sushun is hateful!" After listening to this, Guan Zhuofan of course had to make such an expression, "Is there no way to cure him?" ”

"The two queen mothers said that if they want to cure him, they must be Prince Gong," An Dehai said in a low voice, "I just don't know what the sixth master's plan is, but he didn't say anything at all." ”

I know that Guan Zhuofan smiled bitterly in his heart. His current situation is very embarrassing, obviously both sides regard him as his own, but he can't think of a good way to be this matchmaker.

He is an undercover agent sent by King Gong in Rehe, and he has been lying for half a year. King Gong has such a mental skill, if he makes it clear to the Queen Mother, it is difficult to say what the two palaces will think of King Gong in the future, and it may not be a good thing for him.

And why can he gain the trust of the Queen Mother, it is even more difficult to talk to King Gong - can he still run to Cao Yuying and tell him that he and the young Queen Mother had two nights of love?

"Alas, it's hard." Guan Zhuofan shook his head unconsciously.

"yes, it's hard." An Dehai misunderstood what he meant, and whispered: "The master told Dongbian'er that if it really doesn't work, he will force the sixth master." ”

"Oh, what's the force?"

"I said that I was looking for an excerpt in the imperial history and offered a curtain!"

"This ......" Guan Zhuofan was shocked.

The proposal to find someone to publicly offer the curtain was a ruthless move that the Empress Dowager Cixi came up with. Ever since she received the seal from Emperor Daxing, her self-confidence has been greatly improved.

This is a mistake that stems from Su Shun. On that occasion in Ruyizhou, he misjudged Xianfeng's wishes, and rashly proposed to dispose of Concubine Yi according to the example of "Mrs. Hook Yi", which was too fierce and caused Xianfeng to be extremely uneasy. Although it did not affect Xianfeng's trust in him, Xianfeng was wary of possible tragic changes in the future, and finally made such a major arrangement before he died.

The seals given to the Empress and Concubine Yi are not taken for view, but really represent the highest power - all edicts prepared by the ministers of Gu Ming are considered invalid without the seals of the two queen mothers. This is equivalent to Xianfeng's will, which was seen by the princes and ministers present at the time, even if he was as obedient as Su, he did not dare not admit it. The question is, does the Queen Mother have the right to change the content of the edict? There have been several fierce confrontations between the Queen Mother and the Minister of Gu Ming for this reason, but under the high pressure of Su Shun, the results all ended in the victory of Gu Ming's side.

"What they say is what they say, so what is the use of these two party seals?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an, who has always been peaceful, was so angry that she shed tears, "Doesn't it mean that we are just decorations?" ”

"What my sister said is," the Empress Dowager Cixi took the opportunity to say, "so I have to think of a way to force the sixth child to come out and speak." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an knew that the method she said was the excerpt of "hanging the curtain and listening to the government".

"Sister, I haven't figured it out yet." Ci'an wiped her tears and said apologetically, "Aren't we also listening to politics now?" When you say you want to 'hang a curtain', do you add a curtain? ”

They are all "listening to politics", but they are very different. Cixi explained to her that the current listening to the government can only see the ministers, and the curtain is listening, and the queen mother can summon all the foreign officials, so that Su Shun can no longer cover the sky with one hand.

"But if they listen to the government, can they agree?" Ci'an asked.

Naturally, they would not agree, but Cixi's intentions were not expected to be agreed.

"Stir the water," said Cixi, "even if it is a thousand-year-old turtle, let him rise." ”

This refers to King Gong again, although the words are not good, but there is a reason. As soon as this fold is on, the two palaces can take the opportunity to let King Gong in the capital understand their dissatisfied attitude towards Su Shun.

"It's okay," the Empress Dowager Ci'an nodded happily, "Su Shun is so domineering, someone should also talk about it." ”

"yes." Cixi agreed, but in her heart she thought proudly that once she really got in touch with King Gong, it would be more than just a matter of "talking". However, this point will not be exposed in a hurry, so as not to scare the honest Ci'an. What's more, with these two seals in her hands, even if King Gong still refused to come forward, she also prepared a more powerful killing move to deal with the minister.

Isn't it forbidden to change the decree? When the time comes, she intends to simply put a stamp on the fold and openly accept the invitation. How powerful can Su Shun be? I'm going to fight him!

However, the young Cixi, after all, still lacked the experience of practical government affairs, and could not have imagined that her rash move would inevitably lead to a strong counterattack from the minister, causing fatal consequences.

Guan Zhuofan's shock is for this reason -- where is this a political struggle? It's just two young queen mothers, who are making trouble with Su Shun. If you think that if you have the seals of both parties, you can do whatever you want, then you are inevitably mistaken. What the seal represents is only a name, and there is still a long way to go to transform it into real power, and it is by no means as simple as an edict.

He thought about it calmly, and now even if he passed through An Dehai and gave advice to the two palaces, Cixi would never listen to him - after all, he was only a five-rank officer, and no one would believe him if he could have any insight in court affairs.

I couldn't say anything, so I had to save her. Guan Zhuofan thought to herself, not to mention that she gave charity in the flesh, the love of the two nights on Ruyi Continent, just that she couldn't let the big thing be ruined in one fell swoop, and she had to take action.
