c_t; In Cining Palace, Cixi and all the important ministers were speechless, what should I do?

Now in the imperial court, there are those who suggest moving the capital, those who suggest going out to patrol for a while, those who ask for a desperate battle, and even those who cede land and ask for peace, which are in a mess, and there are different opinions and stalemate.

Cixi is now so anxious that she can't eat for a few days, she is dark and thin, she looks a lot older, waste, it's all a bunch of waste! Moving the capital? Where to move?

The hometown is now occupied by Zhang Jianzhi! Out on patrol for a while, like the last time I was blocked in Baoding Mansion, I almost became cannon fodder! Why don't you go on a tour?

A desperate battle? 120,000 people can't resist the half-day attack of the coalition army, how to fight to the death, that is, to die!

Also cede the land and ask for peace, over the years, the land has been cleared of the indemnity, is there anything else to increase the face?

A bunch of rubbish! When it comes to the real thing, it's all people who have no idea!

Now Cixi really misses Li Hongzhang, with Li Hongzhang here, at least the situation will not be so passive, you can't fight, and you can't make peace, how good is this.

Cixi made a big show of power in the Cining Palace, scolded the ministers so much that they couldn't even get up, and retreated from the court with hatred.

Cixi, who was full of worries, was supported by Li Lianying, and unconsciously, walked out of the distance, looked up, and actually came to Yingtai!

Cixi's heart was slightly shocked, how did she come here, from the Wuxu coup to the present, Cixi has only seen Guangxu twice, the most recent one has been more than half a year, every time they meet, Guangxu is cold and cold, without saying a word.

Cixi sighed, waved her hand, and motioned for Li Lianying to go back, Li Lianying said in a low voice: "Lafayette, since you are here, it is better to do it."

Let's go in and take a look, you haven't seen the emperor yet......"

Cixi shook her head and said, "That's it, since you're here, let's go in." ”

Walking into Yingtai, I saw Guangxu leaning on the seat and closing his eyes to recuperate, Li Lianying shouted: "Lafayette has arrived."

！ ”

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and saluted, and Emperor Guangxu opened his eyes and looked at Cixi, nodded slightly, and did not move.

Cixi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so unwilling to see me. ”

Emperor Guangxu opened his eyes, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Dear father, I came here today, but there is something?" ”

Cixi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you and I should be the closest people, but you are close to the foreign ministers and plotting to harm the queen mother, where is the filial piety?" Now, our Qing Dynasty talents are withering, Zaiyi's waste, the Qing Dynasty is now a mess, there are Boxers in the chaos of the Rebellion have been murdered, and there are foreign powers invading, can our country still be saved, all of them, you still have to fight with me? ”

Guangxu said coldly: "Dear father, I knew why bother today, although I am now in a predicament, but I also know that now Kang Liang and Lin Xu and others are assisting Zhang Jianzhi in Fengtian, and the Northeast is becoming more and more prosperous, if these great sages are still there, where will there be today's situation?" How many pillars of talent, just like this, but now you tell me this, isn't it ridiculous, heaven is forgivable, people can't live for evil, the country, the country, this splendid country, since we love Xinjueluo can't manage it well, then let others take care of it, and there is nothing to ......"

Cixi said angrily: "Beast, how can you say such a thing, how can you throw away the ancestral inheritance

Abandoned, I want the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion, the Hunan Army to become bigger, and the Beiyang to become bigger, I tried my best to restrain these tiger and wolf ministers, and you just let others take care of it in one fell swoop, and it passed? Are you worthy of your fathers and fathers? Are you so willing to be the last emperor, with the same ending as Chongzhen on Long Live Mountain? ”

Guangxu replied: "Abandon it lightly? If I want to abandon it lightly, how can I gather talents and work diligently every day? Now let's talk about not abandoning it, is it useful, can there be people who can be used in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Cixi pointed at Guangxu, her angry lips turned blue, and she trembled and said, "You ......"

At this time, the gate was pushed open, and a eunuch rushed into Yingtai and said: "Lafayette, the emperor, the big thing is not good, Lord Ronglu urgently asks to see, the Eight-Nation Alliance has broken through Tongxian!" ”

Cixi was shocked, this is too fast, right?

At this time, Rong Lu was already so anxious that he couldn't care about etiquette anymore, so he rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "Lafayette, Lafayette, Tongxian is lost, Tongxian is lost, the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to attack Beijing, Lafayette, please hurry up and decide."

reads;！ ”

Cixi hurriedly said: "Ronglu, why did Tongxian fall so quickly, didn't the coalition army arrive in Tongxian this morning?" ”

Rong Lu hurriedly said: "Lafayette, there are only more than 1,000 defenders in Tongxian County, plus some Boxers, there are only four or five thousand people, and the Eight-Nation Alliance Army with tens of thousands of people is not vulnerable at all!" Now the Eight-Nation Coalition is moving rapidly towards Beijing City, and I am afraid that it will be able to reach the foot of Beijing City before dawn tomorrow! ”

Cixi howled: "The great powers are so persecuted, the ancestors are the foundation

can't be saved, what are the mourning families doing if they are still alive, it's better to die! ”

As he spoke, he ran towards the small lake on the side, so frightened that Rong Lu hurriedly grabbed Cixi's clothes and begged bitterly: "Lafayette, Lafayette, I can't help it, according to the opinion of the slaves, now we can only go out of Beijing to avoid for a while, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, if you return to heaven, what will the Qing Dynasty do?" ”

Cixi hurriedly said: "What should I do?" Do I have a way to live, am I still waiting to be captured by the great powers? ”

Rong Lu hurriedly said: "Lafayette, now we have time to go out of the city, immediately gather the ministers, there are still an army of 1,000 people under the ministers, and to ensure the safety of Lafayette and the emperor, let's take advantage of the time, let's leave quickly, no matter how late it is, we really can't go!" ”

Cixi choked up and said, "Let's go, where are we going?" ”

Rong Lu replied: "Lafayette, the minister originally planned to borrow Lafayette to go to Xi'an for temporary refuge, the slaves have been operating there for more than ten years, and they are all the henchmen of the slaves, but now the slaves have obtained information, the army of Tsarist Russia has begun to enter Inner Mongolia, I am afraid that the road to the west is not very peaceful, the meaning of the slaves, let's take the train to Baoding, and then go south to Zhengzhou, first temporarily settle in Zhengzhou, where is there Feng Guozhang's new army in a town, enough to resist the invasion of the coalition army!" ”

Cixi nodded and replied: "That's the only way, pass the decree, let's go to Zhengzhou!" ”

Suddenly, Rong Lu grinned and said with a bitter face: "Lafayette, we can't do the train anymore, the slave just remembered that the railway station in the capital has been destroyed by the rebels of the Boxers, and now we can only rely on it."

The carriage was ...... "In the southern city of Beijing, Cixi gathered all the important ministers of the court, and under the protection of more than 1,000 people from Rong Lu and Dong Fuxiang, she left Beijing in a panic. ( ) Cixi looked at the distant city of Beijing, and then looked at Guangxu on the side, and the two of them were relatively speechless......
