China's era name system began with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but before the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperors of successive dynasties did not seem to consider the convenience of the chronology, and often "changed the yuan". The new emperor ascended the throne of course, and the emperor or the country should also change the yuan when encountering any major event, in order to celebrate or commemorate, even if there is nothing, it must be changed to "play", and even change again and again in a year. For example, the female emperor Wu Zetian and her husband Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, reigned for 33 years, but changed the yuan 14 times, becoming the emperor with the most years in history.

It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty that the era name was basically standardized as one emperor and one number, but there was still one exception, that is, Zhu Qizhen, the unfortunate Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the unscrupulous descendant, was first named "orthodox", and later due to the "Tumubao Change", Yingzong was captured by the Mongolian Vala tribe. His younger brother Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne as the emperor in the form of the Empress Dowager's decree, and Yaozun Yingzong was the emperor, and the Yuan Jingtai was changed. However, eight years later, Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng, the left deputy capital of the imperial history Xu Youzhen and the ceremonial eunuch Cao Jixiang and others launched the "change of seizing the door" successfully, supporting Yingzong to regain the throne, abolishing the Jingtai Emperor is still the king of Yu, changing the eighth year of Jingtai to the first year of Tianshun, and the word "Tianshun" has become the second year of Yingzong. After entering the customs in the Qing Dynasty, it was always one emperor and one normal. Generally, in the year when the new emperor ascends the throne, the old emperor's year name is still used, and the new era name is used from the next year of his accession. Just like now, Jae-chun is already the new emperor, but this year is still the eleventh year of Xianfeng, and he will not be able to use his era name until next year.

After the "four-day secret discussion", the two palaces were unhappy because they couldn't hang curtains, and the eight ministers were dissatisfied because the queen mother saw the twists and turns, but on the whole, the two sides were still good, and it was relatively easy to deal with the government. Although there was a sudden incident of Yiyun, both sides were a little suspicious and hidden, but the face was still passable, and the cooperation was not bad. One of the biggest things is to draw up the name of the little emperor. After this incident, although the Empress Dowager Xi once again felt Su Shun's dominance, she also saw Su Shun's ability and ability.

Originally, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was not in a hurry to draw up a New Year name, but now Yixin's power was suppressed by Xianfeng on his deathbed, and it was a good time to return to Luan. They were going to wait for the little emperor to return to Beijing and then do it after he ascended the throne, but Su Shun and the other eight ministers hurriedly drew up the era name. At first, the Empress Dowager Xi thought that Su Shun was sincere and called her a fight, and the two dealt with it very unceremoniously, but later said that it was clear, and the Empress Dowager Xi knew that Su Shun was powerful.

After all, the Empress Dowager Xi is only a woman in the deep palace at the moment, and she doesn't know much about the political affairs of the court. After the Xianfeng Bank, the original Xianfeng Tong Poke was worthless, and the price of private silver had begun to rise rapidly. If there is no new money in circulation, the imbalance of money is likely to lead to a financial crisis, which will lead to chaos. Su Shun and others are considering minting new money as soon as possible, quickly stabilizing the market silver price, and calming people's hearts.

"Qixiang, how do you say these two words?" The Queen Mother of the West nodded again and again by Su Shunxun, remembering the doorway inside, but the Queen Mother of the East was more concerned about whether the New Year's name was auspicious or not.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the word Qixiang is auspicious!" Su Shun saw that the Empress Dowager Xi was honest, and her attitude became respectful.

"You put these two words out of the canon and play the two queen mothers!" Su Shun turned around and asked Jiao Youying, who was behind him, to explain the meaning of Qixiang.

Although Jiao Youying is talented, his qualifications are very shallow, if it weren't for Su Shun's efforts to protect him in front of Xianfeng, this guy wouldn't even be a minister of military aircraft. Although he is now the Minister of Military Aircraft, he is also the legendary military aircraft with a curtain, the youngest of the Minister of Military Aircraft. So Su Shun gave him more opportunities, so that he could have more opportunities to perform in front of the emperor. Originally, Xianfeng's edict was mostly Jiao Youying's handwriting, and now he tells the Queen Mother allusions, of course, it is still Jiao Youying's beauty.

The word Qixiang comes from "Song History, Le Zhi", "not dry and not childlike, born Qixiang." ”。 When the water is dry, the river is called dry, and the mountain is bald and the tree does not grow. The word Qixiang means that the river flows smoothly and the trees are luxuriant, so it is natural that the people of Fufu are abundant and the country is safe and secure. So these two words are the meaning of good luck! Jiao Youying explained very well.

"Hmm......" The Empress Dowager Xi doesn't like this era name very much, and always feels that the semantics seem to be repeated.

"Since it's auspicious, let's use it!" The Empress Dowager Dong expressed her attitude first, and she thought it was good. Of course, she was afraid of another conflict with the eight ministers, and no one could say anything about Yiyun, and she was very worried that the eight ministers would be separated from them again.

"Okay, you call the shots, you can use it if you say it's good!" The Queen Mother of the West still respects the queen very much as she did when she was a concubine.

The two palaces used seals at the beginning and end of the folds, which can be regarded as setting the name of the little emperor, and the last perfect cooperation between the eight ministers and the queen mother of the two palaces has also come to an end, after which they will go to war in an all-out way. Before the ink was done, the unsatisfactory things of the eight ministers came one after another, except for Yi Xun, who had no shadow, everyone could only fight each other in the clouds and fog.

First of all, Prince Gong Yixin, ignoring the edict that the eight ministers ordered him to "handle all matters in Beijing and go to the palace without memorial" on the day of Emperor Xianfeng's death, and officially folded "Please go to Rehe to knock on Zi Palace". Before, Gu ordered the eight ministers to prevent King Gong from going to Chengde to knock on Zigong Palace for no reason, although it was justified in the situation, but he couldn't talk about it in terms of personal feelings. Now Yi Xin suddenly officially put forward the request of this younger brother to worship his brother, although Gu Ming Bachen was extremely reluctant, it was difficult to forcibly stop it. No matter how domineering Su Shun is, he can't ignore human ethics, otherwise he will not be domineering, but a traitor who exterminates human ethics. Therefore, on the morning of the first day of August, Prince Gong Yixin still ignored the obstruction of the eight ministers, and came to the Chengde Summer Resort in a light car.

Yi Xin suddenly came to Chengde, everyone was very nervous, and the eight ministers were even more nervous, they couldn't figure out what Yi Xin was here for. If Yi Xin wants to seize power, the new emperor and the eight ministers have already been decided, and it must be too late now. If he wants to carry out an armed coup, he doesn't have enough soldiers and horses, and he can ignore the righteousness of the world or anything, but Guoxinga outside the city can tear him apart in minutes. Although Yi Xin didn't seem to be a threat, the eight ministers still couldn't rest assured. After all, Yi Xin is the long-awaited imperial uncle, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not play any tricks.

Su Shun and the others wanted to take advantage of the situation to do Yixin, but the dog bites the hedgehog and it is not easy to eat! Yi Xin is the emperor's uncle who has just made a great contribution, and he is very popular inside and outside the court, and he came by light car, Su Shun really has no reason to do anything to Yi Xin. Even if he knew that Yi Xin must have a plan, and knew that he was definitely ill-intentioned, Su Shun still had no choice but to take Yi Xin. It's very easy to kill Yixin, but it's difficult to deal with the world.

On the day of Yi Xin's arrival, it was just in time for the Yin Dian ceremony of Emperor Daxing, and Prince Gong "fell to the ground and mourned, and his majesty heard through the palace, and everyone else shed tears". Many middle- and lower-level officials have been muttering that since the death of Emperor Xianfeng on 17 July, they have never seen such a sad person as Prince Gong Yixin.

The reason why King Gong is so sad is not only because of the natural brotherhood with Emperor Daxing, but also because of the natural brotherhood with Emperor Daxing. He may have thought of the unwillingness to fail in the "struggle for the throne" with this elder brother, he may have thought of his brother's suspicion and alienation of him, and he may have thought of such unfair political treatment that his brother gave him on his deathbed - there are as many as eight auxiliary ministers, but they have no share of their own. So Yi Xin's crying is more about himself, and it is also a vent for his grievances.

After the confession, Prince Gong had the intention to escape, and he had to meet with Gu Ming's eight ministers. Su Shun and the others felt that their position was very stable at this time, so they thought that King Gong was no longer afraid. When talking about the intention of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to summon King Gong, Du Han said something like this: "The sixth master and the queen mother are relatives of uncles and sisters-in-law, but uncles and sisters-in-law have avoided suspicion since ancient times, not to mention that Emperor Bintian of Daxing was not long in coming, and the queen mother was newly mourned. Du Han's words were both high-sounding and very powerful, so much so that Su Shun secretly picked on the thumb brother and secretly praised Du Han in his heart, "It is really worthy of the son of Du Wenzhenggong, and even King Gong has to admit that this is reasonable." Of course, these words were dark in my heart, and I was a little lacking in morality, and I didn't care about Xianfeng's physique at all.

According to common sense, with Du Han's words here, no matter what happens, Yixin no longer has the tone of entering the palace to shout grievances. It's a pity that before Yi Xin came to Chengde, he had seen a person, and that was his seventh brother, Wang Yixun of Alcohol County. So Yi Xin felt that there was still a certain tacit understanding between him and Yi Xun, and he believed that Yi Xin had arranged it for him, and he didn't have to worry about too many things.

Sure enough, just when Yixin and the eight ministers were talking happily, the Queen Mother actually summoned King Gong in public, and King Gong made a very embarrassed appearance, saying that you see, and said that Yi Zhi came, and it was not appropriate to see it, and it was against the will if I didn't see it, what should I do? Why don't you drive the fourth brother (this refers to Prince Zheng Duanhua, he is both the fourth, and he is the same generation as King Gong, so King Gong calls him "fourth brother") to accompany him and meet together? King Zheng was at a loss for what to do, and only looked at Su Shun, meaning to ask him what to do. On the one hand, Su Shun was too careless, and on the other hand, because he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he simply said a beautiful word: "Sixth, you and the two queen mothers are close relatives, if you want to meet, why should I accompany you?" It is precisely because Su Shun's words are "beautiful" that King Gong and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces finally met, and it was an hour-long "lone pair", and the fate of the failure of the eight ministers of Gu Ming was almost a foregone conclusion, which cannot but be said to be a major mistake of Su Shun.

It is precisely because of this one-sided pair that there was a huge rift between the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the Eight Ministers, and the two sides ran irreversibly towards the war against each other. But when Yi Xin communicated with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, both sides were confused, the Queen Mother didn't understand Yi Xin at all, and Yi Xin also found that what the Queen Mother and Yi Xin said were completely two people.
