Tongzhi is a bit out of line, but his ability is not bad, at least much stronger than his merry father Xianfeng. Sima Qian's words to describe the king of Shang are very suitable for Tongzhi, "quick to distinguish diseases, very sensitive to smell, excellent material strength, hand grid beast, know enough distance from admonishment, words enough to decorate wrong", Tongzhi except for the hand grid beast, everything else is almost the same.

The reason why Tongzhi, who has outstanding ability, has to withstand the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and has to repair the three mountains and five gardens on a large scale is also for his purpose. Tongzhi likes to go out of the palace to play, but he doesn't like the garden scenery, he prefers the people in the market, so it doesn't matter if the three mountains and five gardens are repaired or not. The purpose of his garden is to deal with his two living mothers. Tongzhi, who has grown up, is very dissatisfied with his delay in being in power, and he has long wanted to rule the world. However, Cixi and Ci'an have always felt that Tongzhi is not good at reading, and their abilities and personalities also need to be polished. Now that he has the opportunity to touch the power, he must grasp it, and the first thing he has to do is to quickly send away the two queen mothers who can restrain him, so as not to take back his full strength.

Ci'an is good to say that Cixi is a strict mother, and Tongzhi can be tortured and crazy by this mother. Cixi has a domineering personality, and in the process of getting along with her son, criticism and accusation replace the delicate and gentle mother should have. Tongzhi was reluctant to study, but Cixi was very strict in his supervision, which often became a psychological burden for him. Tongzhi had to meet Cixi after class, and although Cixi had a very low level of education, she still asked her son what books he had read, what he interpreted a certain sentence, and so on. If she is not satisfied with the content of the answer, Cixi will be severely reprimanded. Tongzhi, who has reached the rebellious period, especially hopes to get rid of his mother, escape her daily supervision, and deal with all kinds of affairs around him arbitrarily.

And during the days when Tongzhi began to deal with the government, Cixi also criticized him a lot, except for the place where Cixi intended to test her son, she had to ask about any other major and minor affairs. Tongzhi Weifu went out to Hu Lai, which touched Cixi's bottom line, and Cixi was about to arrange eunuchs to monitor him. Tongzhi, who is rebellious and reckless, is very tired of his mother's dictating in political affairs and arbitrary interference in his private life, and he longs to break away from his mother's sphere of influence, decide his own affairs independently, and truly implement the full power of the emperor. Tongzhi is doing his best to send his mother out of the Forbidden City and to a happy land where his mother can live for a long time, and overhauling the three mountains and five gardens is undoubtedly the best way.

Cixi also knew that state affairs were difficult, but returning to the comfort of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens was her and Ci'an's dream for many years. Almost all of their happiest years were spent in the Three Mountains and Five Gardens, although the merry Xianfeng was no longer there, but the two of them still hoped to go there to recuperate. Ci'an was really tired of the government and wanted to go to the garden to live a quiet life, while Cixi was thinking about her son. Cixi is a power-loving person, but it has not yet reached that particularly extreme level, and she is still willing to give up her own son. So she also wants to hand over the power to Tongzhi, and then go to the garden to have fun by herself, and occasionally ask and supervise.

In the seventh year of Tongzhi, Yu Shi Tai once asked for the restoration of the three mountains and five gardens that were a little out of shape by the Anglo-French alliance and Guoxing'a, but Cixi resolutely vetoed: "It is not approved, and it is severely punished." Because Cixi knew too well that after the heavy blows of the two Opium Wars and the peasant uprisings in various places such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the dynasty's finances were already stretched and beyond its means, and there was no extra silver to rebuild the imperial gardens. However, at this time, the chaos in various places has almost calmed down, and the son has done his filial piety, so that the two widows can have a sustenance.

Cixi and Ci'an also knew about Tongzhi's removal of Yixin's father and son's titles, but they did not come forward in time to stop it, because this was exactly what they wanted. Tongzhi is now a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he should be allowed to have a good experience. And after the fall of Sushun, it's really time to knock Yixin. The imperial court can't let one family dominate, although Cixi and Ci'an also supported the family of the seventh master Yixun to come out, but the too powerful Yixin group still has to be suppressed. Tongzhi's behavior is a little capricious, and there are some reasons for venting personal anger, but it is exactly what the court needs now, and the imperial power is inviolable, even if it is an uncle who serves the country and the people.

But Cixi and Ci'an Ci'an still underestimated Tongzhi, their precious son was much more powerful than they imagined, and his courage was terrifying. Seeing that the two palaces did not intervene because they belittled Yixin's father and son, Tongzhi, who was still unfinished, issued another edict on the second day: Prince Yixin of Gegong, Wang Yixun of Alcohol County, Boyan Nemohu, Jingshou, Yixuan, and ten official positions of the Minister of Military Aircraft, including Wenxiang, Baojun, Shen Guifen, and Li Hongzao. and directly accused them of "conspiring against each other" in the edict, and summoned the six Shangshu, Shilang, Zuodu Yushi, and cabinet scholars, and prepared to announce this edict in public.

Emperor Tongzhi, who had too little political experience, really got rid of it this time. He was happy to do so, and in one fell swoop he eliminated all political parties in the DPRK and China, but he did not expect the bad consequences of this series of actions. If these dozen or so important ministers of the imperial court are really dismissed, not only will the normal order of the government and government be disrupted, but also the government and the opposition will inevitably be disagreeable. If the forces of the major factions rebelled, his throne might not be preserved, and his uncles would have more power than the younger emperor. Cixi and Ci'an, who were familiar with the operation of the government, couldn't sit still at this time, and hurried to the Hongde Hall to intervene before Emperor Tongzhi issued the edict.

The scene of the mother and son meeting was quite sad, and Tongzhi really broke Cixi's heart. The so-called greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Cixi, who had high hopes for Tongzhi, did not want to believe that such an absurd will was given by her good son. But the fact that it was as cold as iron was in front of him, and Tongzhi disappointed Cixi too much. It is not a bad thing to overthrow all the real power factions in the DPRK, but there must also be a reason for having to, and it is necessary to deal with these bigwigs step by step. However, Tongzhi did not have any political motive for dealing with these people, just because Zai betrayed him, and simply because he was tired of the noise of the ministers. Moreover, the methods of Tongzhi were unwise and unusually fierce, and if Cixi did not intervene, it was very likely to lead to a coup d'état that would endanger the imperial throne.

Yi Xin and the others came, Yi Xin couldn't see anything on his face, but everyone knew what he was thinking, and Yi Xin even wrote his anger on his face. Cixi and Ci'an showed their housekeeping skills again, and the two of them began to cry as soon as they entered the hall, and the tears never stopped, as if they were going to cry until they were old. Tongzhi, who was high-spirited when he issued the edict, was honest this time, and was strictly ordered by his mother to kneel at the bottom of the steps. He was not very convinced on his face and heart, but his mother couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only kneel on the ground and be lucky.

"You evil obstacle, in the past ten years, if it weren't for your sixth uncle, you would still be where you are today! Rebellion, banditry, chaos, foreign devils, without your sixth uncle, how can the world be calm! Dingchao and foreign affairs, without your sixth uncle, how can the court stand up. If there is no sixth uncle of yours, let alone your throne, it will be the world of our Qing Dynasty, and I am afraid that we will not be able to keep it! How can you do such a ungrateful and ruthless thing to your sixth uncle and others! The atmosphere of crying was almost over, and Cixi began to count Tongzhi. She still cares about skills very much, counts Yixin's exploits, and reprimands Tongzhi, but she directly said that Tongzhi is ruthless, but she doesn't say that Tongzhi is wrong. Tongzhi is the emperor, Yixin is a courtier, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and the thunder and rain are all heaven's grace, so it is absolutely reasonable and legal for Tongzhi to dismiss Yixin and others from office.

"Hmm!" Tongzhi was still unconvinced, and snorted as an answer. He doesn't think that without Yixin, the earth will have to turn without anyone, without anyone, Tongzhi is also the true dragon son of the Qing Dynasty. There is no Yixin, and Su Shun! Tongzhi always felt that Su Shun was more obedient than Yixin, and his attitude towards himself was much better than Yixin, and that was the person left to him by his father. But now that Su Shun is dead, it is useless for Tongzhi to miss him anymore, and in the face of Cixi's reprimand, Tongzhi can only listen.

"The two queen mothers must not be angry, don't hurt your body!" Yi Xin comforted the two sisters-in-law, but he didn't open up half a sentence for Tongzhi, he was also heartbroken, and he was about to die.

Yi Xin has seen through that Tongzhi is a stubborn master who has neither the way to rule nor the skills to control people, and regards the national line as child's play. handed over the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty to him, and he didn't want this Jiangshan Sheji at all. After Yi Xin and his son were dismissed, he was still wondering if this was the pit dug for him by the two sisters-in-law. But after getting that Tongzhi wanted to remove all the more than ten important ministers, he understood that this was Tongzhi's crazy trick, and Cixi would never be able to do such two things. If Cixi doesn't invite Yixin, Yixin will have to visit Guoxinga at this time. Tongzhi himself swept away the center of the imperial court, which would inevitably cause turmoil in the imperial situation, and if Yixin could get the support of his important ministers and Guo Xing'a, he would most likely get back what had almost belonged to him.

"The emperor is not more important, you must not be worried, the Qing Dynasty's rivers and mountains still want you to work together! The mourning family issued an order, and the emperor's decree was canceled immediately, and everyone's official positions were not changed! Ci'an's temperament has softened a little, and she is more doting on Tongzhi, but she is the queen mother of the main palace, and she has to stand at the forefront on big occasions.

"Ministers (minions), thank God!" Yi Xin led the ministers to kneel down and thank him, but everyone was very uncomfortable.

Tongzhi was not convinced, but he could only accept this fact, he was not really pro-government, and he could do whatever he did with the acquiescence of the two palaces, but the queen mother of the two palaces could still veto his holy decree at any time. Yi Xin and others were reinstated, and the three mountains and five gardens didn't want to be repaired, but Tongzhi had already found the next target, such as Guoxing.
