Prince Gong still came to Rehe in the end, and Su Shun and others had to make concessions.

"Sixth brother, the younger brother is polite!"

Su Shun and Prince Gong are both the sixth, but Su Shun's age is a few years older, so Prince Gong is very polite and said to Su Shun.

Su Shun stared at Prince Gong for a while, and then said with a smile: "Sixth, I have worked hard all the way, and I came from afar to worship the spirit, presumably the first emperor will be happy in the spirit of the sky!" ”

Prince Gong sighed: "In less than a year, I didn't expect to be separated from the first emperor forever, it's really ......."

Su Shun said gently: "Okay, sixth brother, in the past year, what you have done in Beijing has been seen by everyone, everything is done with all your heart, and the first emperor is also in the eyes, and he is very pleased." ”

Prince Gong said a few polite words, and only then did he meet with the princes and military aircraft, and set up a banquet in the palace to entertain Prince Gong that day.

The next thing is to pay homage to the coffin of the first emperor, Prince Gong was in front of Xianfeng Ling, with mixed feelings and sorrow, and only stood up in the persuasion of his colleagues for a long time.

When everyone was about to be polite, a eunuch ran over and said, "Princes, lords, the queen mother of the two palaces invites Prince Gong to enter the palace to talk and ask about the affairs of the family?" ”

Su Shun was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly, here, Cixi and Ci'an finally can't sit still, make a move at this time? Hehe, I'm very good at choosing opportunities!

Jiao Youying, who was on the side, said in a low voice: "Everyone, although this is the case, it is a little inconvenient for the foreign minister to enter the Hajj after all......

This reason is a bit far-fetched, will there be no foreign ministers in the two palaces in the future?

The faces of the princes present changed, and they didn't speak after all, Prince Gong smiled and said, "It's okay, Gonggong An, you overwrite the two queen mothers." Tomorrow, I will go to the court with all the princes and military planes, and I respectfully ask for St. Ann, everything is fine at home, everything is with me, please don't care about the two queen mothers. ”

Su Shun's heart finally relaxed. It seems that Gong Lao Liu really didn't make trouble this time, and he gave up such an opportunity, did he plan to accept his fate?

Su Shun said with a smile: "In this case, it's okay, tomorrow morning, let's ask the emperor and the queen mother together." ”

An Dehai quickly brought the news back.

Ci'an's face changed, and he was rejected by Prince Gong's gentle words! Could it be that Prince Gong is really going to give up?

Ci'an looked at Cixi, and Cixi was very calm. Seeing Ci'an's inquiring appearance, he smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, this is just the words of the sixth man who is paralyzed and obedient to them, didn't he say it, outside things, everything has him, naturally he has already expressed his attitude, let's put our minds at ease." ”

Ci'an smiled. replied: "If this is really the case, sister, I am really relieved." After all, the emperor finally has something to rely on, and the sixth child is his own family after all. ”

Cixi said: "Well, everything will be clear tomorrow, sister, now the military aircraft are just strong and middle-class, and there is nothing to worry about." The only thing we are worried about now is that we can return to Beijing safely, as long as we return to Beijing, no one can help us! ”

The next day, Prince Gong and his ministers came to the palace. I have seen the emperor and the queen mother.

The two queen mothers asked Prince Gong about the affairs of the family in the capital, and made a show of greetings.

Prince Gong just turned his words to the topic: "The two imperial sisters-in-law, now that the first emperor has returned to heaven, he always places the coffin in Rehe, which is not a long-term solution, and the most important thing is that the emperor can't always be here, we need to go back to Beijing to hold an enthronement ceremony for him, this can't be delayed, sixth brother, what do you say?" ”

Su Shun had already expected it in his heart, this matter could not be avoided, and said with a smile: "Sixth, what you said is also reasonable, the matter of returning to Beijing is certain, and our military aircraft is also discussing, how to let the emperor and the first emperor's Zigong return to Beijing, this is hundreds of miles away, the emperor is young, we can't be more careful." ”

Prince Gong said with a smile: "Sixth brother said that he is joking, although the emperor is young and the distance is far away, however, there are 20,000 troops to escort him, what danger is there, if it really can't work, then the infantry commander Yamen can also send a force north to meet the holy car." ”

Su Shun's face froze, looked at the two queen mothers, and said: "Sixth, what do you think, in two more days, the troops of Baoding Town will arrive in Xingzai, as long as the troops of Baoding Town arrive, we will prepare to return to Beijing, and you will also stay and return to Beijing with us." ”

Su Shun is still a little worried about Prince Gong after all, this guy is too shrewd, don't find his way all at once, as long as Gong Lao Liu honestly stays in the line, everything will be under control. ”

Prince Gong said with a smile: "If we get up in two or three days, it doesn't matter if I stay, I am waiting for the emperor left and right, but after a long time, there is no leader in the capital, only Yi Xun is alone, I am afraid that the bullet will not be able to suppress the scene, and now the ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Russia have arrived, and they are preparing to build a legation. ”

As soon as he heard about the foreign affairs, Su Shun was also a little entangled in his head, those foreign devils are too difficult to deal with, now that the holy decree has gone down, Guo Ye will go to Shandong on the same day, and there is no one in the capital who is the host minister who presides over the prime minister's affairs Yamen, so it must be chaotic.

Su Shun groaned: "Okay, since that's the case, you can go back first, as long as the soldiers of Baoding Town arrive, there are three or five days of preparation time, you can set off, the road is far away, the army and the line should not be separated, Zaiyuan and I will personally lead the army to escort the holy car back to Beijing." ”

Prince Gong frowned and said: "Sixth brother, our Beijing camp has 20,000 troops, plus Baoding Town, plus the relatives, ministers and relatives of the palace, together I am afraid that there will be 30,000 or 40,000 people, so many people, acting together, how can I get it, the local pressure is too great, from Rehe to the capital are some small counties, how can we supply so completely?" Moreover, if 30,000 or 40,000 people act together, the time will be long, how can they achieve justice on the way home? Now the state affairs are heavy, but there can be no delay for a moment, I think it is better to separate, the military aircraft can have a force to protect the first return to Beijing, and then the sixth brother can protect the line in Beijing, so that you can not only protect the emperor, but also not delay the state affairs. ”

Su Shun's face changed, does this mean that he is parting? If it is divided into several groups, it means that the military aircraft will be separated, now the eight ministers who take care of their lives, themselves and Du Han are their heads, Kuang Yuan and Jiao Youying can also be regarded as having some talents, Mu Meng is second, if he returns to Beijing first, Duanhua and Zaiyuan Jingshou will be forgotten, they can't control the situation, Du Han, they can't do without themselves, then Kuang Yuan and Jiao Youying, Mu Meng can.

"Sixth, what do you mean, what are you going to do?"
