An Dehai was out of the Rehe realm, and the Empress Dowager of the West told the Empress Dowager of the East about her contact with Prince Gong Yixin. I thought that she would cut first and then play, and the Empress Dowager Dong had to complain a few words, but she didn't think that the Empress Dowager would fully agree with her approach. The little emperor was frightened by the eight ministers, but the Empress Dowager Dong, who was distressed and distressed by the child, specially explained to Xianfeng before she died that she wanted to let Su Shun forget about it.

The two palaces have already made a plan, and they think that they have strong reinforcements, so they will naturally not back down to the eight ministers. Therefore, the fierce quarrel between the monarch and the ministers did not solve any problems. The next day, the situation of the confrontation between the two sides deteriorated further, and the empress dowager of the two palaces not only refused to stamp the draft of the decree drawn up by the eight ministers to refute Dong Yuanol, but also refused to "meet" with the eight ministers again. At this time, Su Shun's attitude towards the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, especially the Queen Mother of the West, was not only dissatisfied, but simply extremely annoyed.

A group of old rivers and lakes who have been rolling in the court for many years can still be accommodated by the fledgling Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and after Su Shun found the other seven people to discuss briefly, he categorically decided to take a more extreme measure to force the Queen Mother of the West to comply, that is, the eight ministers of Gu Ming collectively "put the car on hold".

The so-called "shelving the car" is actually a very vivid metaphor, which refers to the fact that the big car in motion does not go under the brake, which is like paralysis, in other words, it is the "collective strike" of the eight ministers. The system of the Qing Dynasty, since the Yongzheng Emperor set up the Military Aircraft Department, all government affairs are from the Military Aircraft Department, so the Military Aircraft Department is also known as the "cardinal", and the minister of military aircraft is also called the "cardinal". The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, who are now in the deep palace, has not yet obtained the power to completely replace the emperor because she does not have her own team, and she cannot directly command the operation of the central government, including the six ministries, by bypassing the Military Aircraft Department. At this time, the Military Aircraft Department was in fact completely controlled by the Eight Ministers, so once the Eight Ministers struck, it meant that the entire central government was completely paralyzed.

Su Shun's move was extremely vicious and extremely powerful, as if he had choked the neck of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. All of a sudden, from the Empress Dowager to the emperor, down to the civil and military ministers, and even the eunuchs and palace maids around the Empress Dowager of the two palaces and the small officials and miscellaneous servants of the government, all of them were panicked, and the entire Chengde Summer Resort seemed to be shrouded in a haze of "mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings". The irreconcilable contradiction between the queen mother of the two palaces and the eight ministers of Gu Ming was immediately made public.

Hundreds of miles across the country rushed like snowflakes, and then they were all piled up. The power of the monarch is actually shared by the eight ministers and the two palaces, specifically the eight ministers are responsible for planning and proclaiming, and the two palaces are responsible for decision-making and approval. Now as soon as the eight ministers "put the car on hold", they are quite dumb and brainless monarchs of the * empire, and the queen mother of the two palaces, who can only make decisions, does not know how to deal with the huge government at all.

Empress Dowager Xi originally thought that even if there were no eight butchers, she would not have to eat hairy pigs. It's a pity that Chengde is not Beijing, and there is no one who can replace the position of the eight ministers. The eight ministers "put the car on hold" for a day, and the queen mother of the two palaces did not say that there were hairy pigs, and even the pigs were gone. When the folds arrived in Chengde, they were piled up at the military plane, and they couldn't even see the folds. Even if the eunuch moved in, they couldn't handle it, and they couldn't order it to be executed.

The Empress Dowager Xi really wanted to be angry with Su Shun to the end, to see who could consume whom, but the Qing Dynasty couldn't afford it. It doesn't matter how many days the appointment and dismissal of personnel are delayed, and the appropriations for small places can be paid in a few days, but the Qing Dynasty is still at war! Shandong's Monk Greenqin, Zhili's Shengbao, Hubei's Guanwen, Anqing's Zeng Guofan, etc., which place is not 800 miles expedited, all of them cannot be delayed for a day.

No matter how angry you are, you can't vomit the little emperor's country. So under the persuasion of the Empress Dowager Dong, and after the Empress Dowager West weighed the strength of herself and the eight ministers repeatedly, she finally made a painful concession. The reason why the Empress Dowager Xi was able to successfully control the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty for 47 years was that she was able to have an accurate and sober judgment of the limit of her power in any complicated situation, and she could grasp that she would never try to exceed this limit. Mr. Jin Yong said that a successful politician must be able to use a word in a timely manner, that is, the word "forbearance", which has two sides, one is very "patient", and the other is absolutely "cruel". Empress Dowager Xi used this word very well and appropriately, and she has now achieved "patience". This kind of patience not only allowed her to protect herself under the weak, but also allowed her to win a very rare sympathy from the government and the opposition, because everyone saw how Su Shun was domineering and how he bullied the orphans and widows in the deep palace.

When the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces used the seal to refute Dong Yuanol's edict, the Empress Dowager only sighed. The Queen Mother of the West gritted her silver teeth and pressed it hard, almost crushing the paper. Looking up at the plaque of "no haste, be patient" left by Xianfeng, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't let go for a long time. She endured it this time, but there was a knife on her head, and the taste of forbearance was too uncomfortable.

Su Shun seemed to have won, but in fact he sounded his own death knell with his own hands. The roar when he "met" made the queen mother of the two palaces, who was originally inclined to him, angry to the side of Prince Gong. The "car shelf" in the back made the contradiction between the eight ministers and the two palaces public, which made the hearts of the people of the people lost, and made the Queen Mother of the West murderous to him.

The reason why Su Shun failed can also be said to be precisely because he does not know how to use this word forbearance, he can neither endure nor be absolutely cruel. His move to "put the car aside" was actually an extremely vicious and powerful double-edged sword, and the Empress Dowager Xi dodged it, but he was very seriously hurt because of it - although it seemed that he had succeeded on the surface at the time, he was actually "looking for death". Imagine that if there was no such serious incident as "shelving the car", no matter how much his relationship with the Queen Mother broke off, even if he had "openly roared" above the palace with "no courtesy", he would definitely not lose his head. Because after all, it was all in extremely confidential situations, "it was not what the subjects saw and heard", there was neither "actual deeds to publicize the remainder", nor did it cause a bad impact, so it was easy for people to forgive.

In the original history, later in the fourth year of Tongzhi, when the Empress Dowager Cixi attacked Prince Gong, she wrote an edict accusing King Gong of "arrogance and arrogance", "summoning every day, arrogant", "when summoned, between words, there are many tricks, full of nonsense" and so on. The hero in the clan, Prince Gong's fifth brother, Prince Yicheng, in response to these accusations, in his recital to the queen mother, once defended him with the phrase "what the subjects have seen and heard", and then he succeeded. The two are fighting in the dark room, and no one else sees it, you have to use this to cure people's crimes, but you are suspected of framing. It is precisely for this reason that Cixi had to suffer the dumb loss of the fifth master again, so that the fifth master successfully saved the sixth master.

Listening to the government itself is not in line with the "ancestral family law" of the Qing Dynasty, and violates the dying will of Emperor Xianfeng, and its legal foundation is very weak. In this way, even if he becomes a defeated in the future, he will inevitably gain great sympathy from the courtiers, at least when he is guilty, he will not be guilty of death in any case. Now he recklessly made such an incident that shocked the government and the opposition, in the Ming Dynasty, when the imperial power was weak, it may not matter, but in the Qing Dynasty, it was tantamount to a public rebellion, which was unprecedented in the 200 years since the founding of the country, not only let "the subjects of the world see and hear together", but also enough to make "the subjects of the world angry and abandoned". After all, bullying the emperor is a hero, and bullying orphans and widows is a bastard.

But Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and other "princes" obviously didn't realize that they had become recognized bastards in the world at this time. They only saw that after a day of their strike, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces finally relented, and happily stamped the draft of the "painful refutation" and handed it over. The Eight Ministers thought they had won, and that no one would ever challenge their absolute authority again, so their "laughter rang out far and near," and they were immersed in the joy of victory. They didn't know that the eyes of the two subdued men looking in the direction of the military aircraft were full of murderous intent, and the real danger was approaching them step by step.

And because of this fierce conflict, Su Shun also came to a conclusion that the brain circuit was very strange, the queen mother of the two palaces did not collude with the sixth master Yixin, and the seventh master Yixin drank too much nonsense. He is also reasonable, if the two palaces collude with the sixth master, they will definitely not be stupid to talk about Dong Yuanol's performance, but will vigorously appease the eight ministers. Because Yi Xin and his forces are far away in Beijing, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will not take advantage of Dong Yuanol's recital to confront the eight ministers at this time, but will expose her intentions. They will definitely wait until they return to Beijing to make trouble, and then they can use Yixin's power to play games with the eight ministers. At least when he was in Beijing, Yixin's people helped the two palaces to speak, and the eight ministers would never dare to "put the car on hold". If the eight ministers "put the car on hold" in Beijing, the people of the Yixin faction can take over the military aircraft department in an instant and seize the power of the eight ministers.

When the two palaces did not have the sixth master Yixin at all, they suddenly began to quarrel with the eight ministers, which was completely a routine to solve internal contradictions. Although everyone was very unhappy, Su Shun also completely let go of his vigilance against the collusion between the two palaces and the sixth master, Yixin. Su Shun's thinking is still right, but forget one thing, people will change. Before the fall out with the eight ministers, the two palaces and Prince Gong did not collude, but after the falling out, how could people not collude with each other! Su Shun was loyal to Xianfeng and regarded Xianfeng's will as a golden rule, he didn't expect that the queen mother of the two palaces, who was closer to Xianfeng, was not like him.

The eight ministers who defeated the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces did not have a happy day. Because when they dealt with the piled up of canta, they found that the military power of the capital Shengbao "violated" to the empress dowager to ask for an fold (there was no precedent in the Qing Dynasty for a minister to hand over an excuse to the empress dowager, and no example was a "violation"). Moreover, Shengbao, who should actively suppress bandits in Zhili, should also throw away the military affairs on the front line and invite Chengde to knock on Xianfeng's Zi Palace.
