Thinking about it day and night, the hope of the Empress Dowager Cixi is finally close to being realized step by step. Although the curtain charter has not yet been finalized, the cabinet has met once and made concessions, which is generally acceptable, so she can privately plan the day of the curtain ceremony.

The days have been very well coordinated, the ninth day of October, the emperor ascended to the pole, the next day is her birthday, and the curtain is now the time when the regulations are agreed, which happens to be just after the 100th day of the first emperor. National mourning clothes filial piety, 100 days of vegetarian, white cloth gown worn for a long time, gray not gray and yellow, it is not difficult to shave within 100 days, no hair, one hair unkempt, and then put on the gray and worn-out white cloth gown, not like a prisoner, also like a beggar, not depressed, wait until the 100 days pass, still towards the pearl mend gown, the face is glowing, at that time in the curtain ceremony by the ministers to congratulate, is a decent happy event.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi herself turned over the constitution of the time and chose the date of the first day of the 11th lunar month, which also hinted at Gui Liang, who was ordered to manage the Qin Tianjian, as long as he was hinted at, the Qin Tianjian would naturally follow the will and choose this date.

In addition to everyone to prepare their own winter clothes, the door curtains and chairs have to be replaced with the original before the national funeral, and there are many furnishings, or the color is wrong, or the material is different, because of filial piety and storage, at this time it has to be replaced.

Those are the envoys of the eunuchs and palace maids, and they have their own rules and regulations, and they don't need to be instructed, and they need to be checked by the queen mother of the two palaces in person, which is to clean up the relics of the first emperor and distribute them to the ministers.

According to the rules at the beginning of the customs, all the relics of the Daxing Emperor, according to the customs outside the customs, in the day of the funeral and the funeral, outside the Qianqing Palace, were incinerated by fire, called "big paper" and "small paper", when the ancestor Zhang Huangzong died of smallpox, this is how it was done. It is said that the flame of "throwing paper" is brilliant. I wonder how many treasures have been burned? In the future, I probably think about it as a pity, and when I go to the Holy Ancestor Bintian, I will not do so, and the clothes, shoes and hats of the Daxing Emperor, and the utensils of daily clothing will be distributed to the ministers and close ministers, which is called "awarding the last thought". It is held as usual before the removal of the dose.

The list of recipients of the "memorials" was presented by the Military Aircraft Department in advance. The inside is the noble minister, the outside is the general, plus the old emperor and the old minister who have told the old man, a total of more than 50 people. And every man shall have four things as usual, and one or two things shall be valuable, and two or three things shall be numbered. Of course, special characters are not limited to this.

Like King Gong's share, it was personally selected by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. A sable warm hat and a Xuanhu stone green coat were all served by the first emperor in the weather when the water was dripping into ice. The other two are also treasures that are often around the first emperor, a multi-treasure string and a jade seal with a whole body of turquoise, the inscription is the three words "the fourth son of the emperor", or the old thing of Sejong in the palace, which was passed down to the Daoguang period. Because the first emperor also did four, Xuanzong gave this jade to him, and now he is using it to reward King Gong of Xingsix, although it is not practical, but for the recipient, it is really a kind of last thought. When King Gong and the first emperor were studying in the upper study. There is no day when I don't see this square cuiyin, thinking of the first emperor's window class, when I encounter the next pen, I take out this square cuiyin, and the happy look of the foot cover is suddenly like in front of me.

On the first day of November, it was a rare good weather since the beginning of winter. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, all of them are in good spirits, bathing in the morning sun, and enter the palace from the Donghua Gate. A group of older ministers were all given the grace of "riding horses in the Forbidden City" in advance, and they could get off the sedan chair near the Longzong Gate, and the princes and nobles of the six departments and nine kings rested in the court room of the yamen. Walking around, I saw that the head was not a jewel top, or a coral top, and the front chest and back were either a crane complement or a unicorn complement. The most proud is the class of Hanlin who is on an errand in the south study and the upper study, although the grade is low, you can still hang the morning beads, wear a mink coat, and go straight into the inner court.

The place to listen to the government is still in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, summoning military aircraft and officials in Beijing every day, in the East Warm Pavilion, and in the event of a ceremony, it is in the Ming Hall of the Palace of the Nourishing Heart. At this time, it has already been cleaned cleanly, neatly furnished, and a mahogany royal case with a length of more than one zhang is set up in the middle, tied with bright yellow satin, and the table circumference of "six with spring" dark flowers. Behind the imperial case, there is a throne, and a square-eyed yellow gauze is hung in front of the imperial case, as the meaning of the curtain. In the middle of the curtain is the little emperor's couch, covered with new yellow satin leather mattresses.

Waiting for the bell to strike nine o'clock, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the hall one after another, and the deacons and officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple took care of them and lined up their shifts. It was three quarters of the first quarter - a quarter of an hour before ten o'clock, the eunuch handed over a report, saying that the emperor had been sent by the Empress Dowager Cixi Luanyu, from the Chuxiu Palace, so the whip sounded, silent, only heard the rustling footsteps from afar, from the hidden to the obvious, and finally the shadow of the alcohol king, he also led the messenger of the "former minister", so he walked in front, followed by Jingshou Bo Na Mo Xu, and the group of former ministers appointed by the prince, divided into two columns, led the little emperor's bright yellow soft sedan chair, into the palace of nourishing the heart.

The officials who stood on duty knelt down together to take over. After the emperor, it is the soft sedan chair of the Empress Dowager of Chuxiu Palace, and then it is the "Minister of Houhu" and the eunuchs who accompany it, and so on the Empress Dowager of Chuxiu Palace and the emperor ascend to the throne, the praise officer of Honglu Temple, singing loudly, from the palace to Danqi, large and small officials, three kneeling and nine knocking, get up and exit in shifts. The ceremony that has been prepared for many days is now complete. But it was at this moment that the Empress Dowager Cixi officially took power.

The dust fell to the ground, the floating words were exhausted, and the enthusiastic people certainly climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix, and had already planned, that is, those who held the right opinion and did not take the curtain as a matter of course, at this time, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and the political authority was returned, thinking about their own fame and wealth, not only did they dare not have any private discussions behind their backs, but they all changed their wait-and-see attitude, and they all went to the congratulatory table of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the yellow face and red.

The Empress Dowager Cixi accepted the congratulations and handled the government affairs as usual, and summoned the king of parliament and the minister of military aircraft in the Dongnuan Pavilion instead. The layout has been changed, the imperial case sits east and faces west, and there are eight foldable bright yellow gauze screens in front of the case, and the little emperor is still sitting in front.

King Gong and the Minister of Military Aircraft saluted, and once again bowed down to congratulate the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Everyone, please get up, this is the first time we have officially met," the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was wearing court clothes, sat behind the bright yellow gauze screen and said loudly, "Some things naturally have to be said in front, the emperor is younger, and the palace is the main palace of Emperor Wenzong, and the emperor's mother, so it is inevitable to work for him for a few days," The military planes were still kneeling and listening, the hall was silent, and only the voice of the Empress Dowager sounded.

"Now although the foreigners are talking about peace, but the flood has not been eliminated, the sea has not been appeased, the emperor's palace car is driving, the world is swinging, it was an extremely dangerous situation, fortunately, the ministers and workers, work together, there is such a calm situation today. Now I only hope that the emperor will study hard, and after seven or eight years, he will be able to afford big things, and this palace can be regarded as having an explanation for the ancestors and the subjects of the world. I was going to have a few days to spare. Write your purpose according to this meaning

This shows that the curtain is just an expedient measure, it is a hardship that cannot be done, Prince Gong should go down, this is also his original idea, the sleeves have been prepared with an excerpt to say this is this matter, and now the queen mother herself proposed, which is inconvenient to take out on the spot, but the Empress Dowager Cixi has not finished speaking, "The most important thing in front of me is the south, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still in Jinling, the edict of Zeng Guofan, not to let the Taiping army run around, and make every effort to exterminate it, plus Zeng Guo's domain Renge University scholars, control the military affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces!" ”

The title of secretary of the military department, the governor of Liangjiang, the control of the military affairs of Huguang, Zhejiang and Fujian, and the addition of the scholar of Renge University, this is the real king of the southeast, even Wu Sangui was just like that. "The first emperor died young, half of the sin is to be blamed on the head of the long-haired traitor, it is really a pain in the skin, no matter what the cost must be calmed in the sea, and give an explanation to the people of Limin! The dynasty will never be stingy with the rewards of princes! Ordered Mu Yang'a to go all out to buy foreign guns and cannons, and the quota of 10 million taels of silver per year set with foreigners before, it would be okay to use more! Before the war between the north and the south, the national strength was limited, and the left and right were in a dilemma, but now the strength of the whole country is used to fully support the southeast, Zeng Guofan is even west to Huguang, east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he alone has the final say, power and responsibility are unified, and the battle is cooperative, if so, it will not be able to calm the flood rebellion," the Empress Dowager Cixi's voice turned cold, "Then please abdicate and make way for Xian!" ”
