The Empress Dowager Cixi ignored Ding Baozhen and turned her gaze to the frightened Tongzhi Emperor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info her eyes were full of concern and anxiety at this time.

Over there, the Empress Dowager Ci'an also cast a concerned eye on Emperor Tongzhi.

Emperor Tongzhi's face turned white first, then turned blue, and his body shook slightly, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Ding Baozhen also noticed the strangeness of Emperor Tongzhi and the expression of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, but at this moment, he thought that Emperor Tongzhi was deliberately pretending to attract the attention of the two queen mothers, and his anger couldn't help but rise.

Emperor Tongzhi did not answer all the bullets that had been surging in recent days (he didn't know that Emperor Tongzhi had always admired Lin Yizhe in his heart, not to mention the queen's pillow wind), which surprised Ding Baozhen and was very annoyed. Because it has been rumored that the emperor has a stubborn temperament and can be mediocre (this can be found in Weng Tongyi's diary), and the emperor is similar to Lin Yizhe's age, Ding Baozhen, who has a rich imagination, naturally labeled Lin Yizhe as a "courtier".

In Ding Baozhen's subconscious, he already had the idea of Emperor Tongzhi protecting Lin Yizhe, and now in the face of his kneeling request, Emperor Tongzhi actually "acted" such a "play" in public, diverting the attention of the queen mother of the two palaces, how could he not be angry?

"Please ask the Queen Mother, the emperor to make an order immediately! Reprimanded Lin Yizhe and ordered him to keep the concubine! Strictly reprimanded Shen Baozhen! ”

Ding Baozhen used all his strength and said loudly again, the sound shook the hall and buzzed, not only the queen mother of the two palaces, but even Li Lianying was startled.

"Ding Futai! Hugh is going to roar and startle the Holy Driver! Liu Chengyin shouted.

Although Liu Chengyin's voice was not loud, Ding Baozhen was startled, he realized that he was a little Meng Lang just now, so he hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said in fear: "The minister's voice is loud, I didn't want to startle the holy driver!" Please ask the emperor to punish the crime! ”

Emperor Tongzhi sat on the throne obliquely, touched his chest with his hand, looked at Ding Baozhen, who was kneeling, and was angry in his heart.

At this time, his heart was still beating wildly.

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Ding Baozhen, and her face was as gloomy as water for a while.

If Ding Baozhen raised his head at this time and saw the current face of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he would definitely regret his actions just now.

The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an's face was not very good-looking, she nodded slightly at Cixi. The Empress Dowager Cixi took a deep breath, and her face slowly returned to peace.

Her gaze turned to Emperor Tongzhi, and at this time Emperor Tongzhi seemed to be slowly relieving, he sat up straight, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Ding Baozhen, you should step aside!" Lin Yizhe, I will give you an explanation! ”

Ding Baozhen heard that the emperor's words were not good, and knew that his protest just now had really shocked the emperor, and he couldn't help but regret it.

He didn't know that he had already been closed in the ghost gate just now.

It is necessary to know that the Qing Dynasty has very strict rules on court rituals, and all ministers summoned have fixed rituals, so as to avoid abnormal behavior of the ministers to the emperor and endanger the emperor's safety. For example, when Prince Gong protested and debated with Cixi, he was stopped by the eunuchs, and Prince Gong was taken down by the guards. Afterwards, Cixi dismissed Prince Gong from many positions and issued a reprimand. Prince Gong is still like this, let alone a foreign minister.

Ding Baozhen's two loud shouts just now, Emperor Tongzhi was already furious, and in a blink of an eye, he even wanted to kill him, but Emperor Tongzhi did not punish him for his previous efforts in killing An Dehai.

After Ding Baozhen thanked the Holy Grace, he got up and withdrew from the hall, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an watched his figure disappear at the entrance of the hall, and looked at each other in unison, the Empress Dowager Cixi's lips moved slightly, and she said a name, her voice was very small, no one heard it, but the Empress Dowager Ci'an saw it, she said the word "Sushun"!

Empress Dowager Ci'an bowed slightly, obviously, Ding Baozhen's arrogant actions just now also left the same impression on him!

At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi, unconsciously, resurfaced the past in front of her......

At that time, the Tongzhi Emperor was young, and the Military Aircraft Department received a letter from Dong Yuanol, the superintendent of Shandong Province. The Empress Dowager Cixi showed the excerpt to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and they agreed that if this excerpt was seen by the eight ministers of Gu Ming, it would definitely cause an uproar, so they "left" the excerpt.

The eight ministers were very worried about the content of this excerpt, so they kept urging it, and finally saw the content of Dong Yuanol's excerpt, and they were furious. The eight ministers then drafted the edict in the tone of the emperor, "...... I pilgrimage to the saints, to the body of the queen mother, I to the age of the emperor to accept the imperial examination, the emperor entrusted the weight, at the beginning of the imperial pole, how dare to change the old system of the ancestors? …… The imperial history asked the queen mother to temporarily manage the government, but it was not a ......" sent to the palace for sealing.

After seeing the draft of the edict, Cixi was furious and summoned the eight ministers to the palace for a meeting with Ci'an and Tongzhi.

Su Shun and the others have been here for a long time, and when they heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, they were also mentally prepared. According to their dignity and humility, under the leadership of Prince Yi, they walked into the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall and gave the queen mother of the two palaces a great gift. In the past, the queen mother of the two palaces would give them a flat body and let them stand and reply, but now it is unusual, and no one in the two palaces has called them up. The Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the draft of the edict and said, "Who told you to write this?" ”

Zaiyuan kowtowed and said: "The words of the Queen Mother were jointly formulated by the ministers. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Let me ask you, what is the edict?" ”

Zaiyuan said: "What the emperor said is an edict. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi sneered: "So, what are the words of our sisters? ”

"Of course, of course, it's an edict."

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "What is the crime of not obeying the edict?" ”

"This ......" Zaiyuan said. Du Han, who was kneeling behind him, hurriedly picked up and said, "There is no place for the ministers to disobey the order. ”

"What? Do you dare to stare and deny it? I ask you, how do I tell you to write it? Cixi said angrily.

Su Shun said politely: "All this big policy, a few slaves are entrusted by the emperor of Daxing, and they will naturally prioritize each other, not the ministers get the wrong opinion, Dong Yuanol is a small imperial history, one has no opinion, two has no action, making this remark is nothing more than trying to gain fame and reputation!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that her face turned pale: "You guys are too disagreeable, do you plan to cover the sky with one hand?" ”

"Please make it clear to the Queen Mother, ******** minister?" Su Shun said coldly.

"What's wrong with Dong Yuanol?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked rhetorically.

"He's talking nonsense!" Su Shun said sharply.

"Tell me more clearly!"

"The edict is clearly written, please take care of it yourself!"

"Sushun! You are so domineering, do you still have the queen mother and the emperor in your eyes? ”

"The ministers were ordered by the first emperor to praise all government affairs, and everything can be taken care of, so there is no need for the Queen Mother to worry about it! But the Queen Mother just has to worry about this. I have to look at the excerpts again, and I have to ask about all government affairs, which is a superfluous move! ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, stood up suddenly, gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Su Shun also stood up unceremoniously and replied loudly: "The minister who cares for his life, and assists the young master." Praise all government affairs, can not obey the Queen Mother's orders. Please ask the Queen Mother to see the excerpts, it was originally a superfluous thing! ”

When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, she was as angry as a sifting chaff, pointed at the young Tongzhi Emperor and said, "Look at it, a child who is only six or seven years old doesn't understand anything. If we sisters don't rule for him, who will rule for him? ”

She continued: "You can hear clearly, Dong Yuanol's excerpts must be redrafted. Do as our sisters say! ”

Su Shun shouted: "Forgive the ministers and others for not complying, please take back the queen mother's order!" ”

"You dare to resist?"

"The minister doesn't dare to resist the decree, but please don't violate the ancestral family law!"

Seeing Su Shun's fierce appearance, Emperor Tongzhi, who was only six or seven years old, was frightened and cried "wow". Su Shun was taken aback, and quickly knelt down in place, not daring to say any more. But Emperor Tongzhi was still frightened, and peed his pants on the spot ("The sound shook His Majesty, the Son of Heaven was terrified, as for the crying, he drowned his clothes").

Seeing that Emperor Tongzhi was frightened like this, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was furious and immediately repelled the eight ministers. But from that day on, Emperor Tongzhi fell ill with convulsions. Although he got much better as he got older, a sudden fright like Ding Baozhen today was still unbearable.

"The two emperors, the son is a little uncomfortable, and the next meeting with the ministers, I'm afraid it's ......" Emperor Tongzhi got up, and before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager Cixi was so shocked that her hands and feet were cold, and she suddenly stood up from the throne.

Here, Liu Chengyin and Li Lianying had already grabbed Emperor Tongzhi's side, and Li Lianying saw that Emperor Tongzhi's forehead was full of cold sweat, his face was pale, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Liu Chengyin glared at Li Lianying while supporting Emperor Tongzhi, Li Lianying quickly turned around and rushed out of the hall without looking back.

At this time, Li Hongzhang, who was waiting in the court room of the side hall to be received, saw Li Lianying and a few little eunuchs running like crazy, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This strange scene lasted only for a moment, and then everything was quiet again.

Li Hongzhang waited for a long time before a eunuch came to inform him that today's audience had been cancelled and would be changed to tomorrow.

Li Hongzhang was confused for a while, he immediately thought that it might be related to the scene just now, but he couldn't guess what happened, so he could only sigh, leave the palace, and go back to Xianliang Temple.

"Weng Tongxiao's Diary": "...... There is a disease, a day of study, after dinner into the office, smelled for Shandong Fuchen Ding Baozhen frightened, fainted in the hall, to noon Fang Su, surprised. Gai Dong Fu wanted to ask Lin Yizhe to be reprimanded during the audience, and ordered him to keep the concubine under the control. …… With the theme of marrying a girl under the system, he was despised, and he said that Lin Yizhe was not abiding by the system, which was contrary to the minister's way. However, when he roared and drove in the palace, how could he be a minister? ……”

Forbidden City, Changchun Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

"How's the Emperor?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked the imperial physician who came to report.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is still guilty of convulsions, the minister has given medicine to the emperor, and now the emperor has woken up, but his body is still weak, and he needs to recuperate......," the imperial doctor replied respectfully.

"The emperor's body is weak?" The Empress Dowager Cixi heard the overtones in the imperial doctor's words, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"What the queen mother said is that the minister also prescribed some tonic prescriptions to the emperor, and the emperor is pure and has few desires, and will raise the moon for more than a month, and he will recover as before." The Imperial Physician replied.

"Got it. Go get your reward. Although the imperial physician said it more secretly, this sentence of "pure heart and few desires" still made the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately understand, she nodded quietly, and the imperial doctor immediately thanked him and retired.

After the imperial physician retreated, the Empress Dowager Cixi shouted: "Liu Chengyin! ”

"The minions are here!" Liu Chengyin, who was standing outside the house, hurriedly took the little eunuch into the warm pavilion.

"You go to the Internal Affairs Office and fetch me the emperor's daily life files these days, I want to take a look." Empress Dowager Cixi ordered.

"Huh! The minions will go and fetch it. Liu Chengyin replied, and then turned to leave.

After a while, Liu Chengyin came back, and several little eunuchs followed him with a thick stack of living notes.

Without waiting for Liu Chengyin to pass it on, the Empress Dowager Cixi stepped forward, directly took the file from the little eunuch's hand, and began to look through it.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Chengyin found that the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi changed suddenly.

"How can it be a clean and official woman, and promise ......"

The Empress Dowager Cixi flipped through the file in her hand again, and her face became more and more ugly.

She had already heard the clue from the mouth of the imperial physician just now, so she hurriedly asked Liu Cheng to print the emperor's living note file and check the records of the Tongzhi Emperor and the concubine.

In recent months, Emperor Tongzhi has promised the palace maids most of the time, except for the occasional Empress Linxing and his concubines!

And the frequency of his "night calls" is simply beyond Cixi's imagination!

"You...... Don't you want to die...... "The more Empress Dowager Cixi looked at it, the more angry she became, and finally slammed a file on the ground, which frightened Liu Chengyin and all the eunuchs and palace maids to kneel.

"Liu Chengyin, these four promises were only recently sealed?" The Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the file on the ground and asked sharply.

"Back to the Queen Mother, these four promises were indeed sealed a few days ago." Liu Chengyin said.

"Four **** in one night, his body is really strong! Where is the void? The Empress Dowager Cixi laughed angrily, but there was coldness in this laughter.

"Swing! Go to Qianqing Palace! ”

At this time, Cixi would not have thought about what she would see in a while.

Qianqing Palace, the emperor's bedroom.

Emperor Tongzhi's personal eunuchs stood outside the house, deaf to the low laughter coming from inside.

"What do you do?"

"Get dressed, Your Majesty. Does the emperor want the slave and maid to go back like this? ”

"It's still early, what are you going to do so soon?"

"The queen mother may come in a while, and the slave and maid will have to go back to pay the errand."

"She has to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and she didn't come back so early."

"Your Majesty, won't the slave and maid accompany the emperor in the future, let the slave and maid go......"

"No, play with me again."

Inside the house, the palace maid's eyes widened, approached Emperor Tongzhi, looked at his handsome face with a smile, gently pinched the baby under him with her jade hand, and said in a greasy voice: "Does the emperor still want slaves?" ……”

At this time, although Emperor Tongzhi's baby was hanging there softly, it was still fat and attractive, so that she couldn't put it down.

Emperor Tongzhi smiled: "You still rub it with your hands like last time, and it will be done in a while." ”

The palace daughter blushed, leaned against Emperor Tongzhi, pressed her face to him, and said softly: "The emperor really thinks about slaves and maids so much? ”

Emperor Tongzhi nodded, and whispered in her ear: "I think about it, I haven't tasted the beauty in you just now." ”

The palace maid's eyes seemed to be drunk, and she wrinkled her pink nose and said to him: "The emperor is so greedy, do you want to eat enough at once?" ”

Emperor Tongzhi hugged her and smiled: "I think so, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat enough." ”

The palace maid smiled, happily moved, took the treasure of the Tongzhi Emperor, skillfully kneaded it, and turned her head from time to time to look at the Tongzhi Emperor. After a while, the treasure under Emperor Tongzhi really rose high again, and the tiger was vigorous.

The palace maid looked at it and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, are you comfortable?" ”

Emperor Tongzhi smiled: "If this is the case, it will be faster to look at those paintings." ”

The palace maid's eyes fluttered, and she smiled: "The emperor wants to see it?" The slave and maid brought it to the emperor. Dare to ask the emperor, where is the painting? ”

Emperor Tongzhi smacked at a small rosewood box with exquisite workmanship on the shelf, and said, "Inside, you go and get it." ”

The palace maid took the box, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a splendid booklet, on which was written "Tianxiang Pavilion Secret Book (First Wu Book)", and there was a small inscription next to it: "The minister Wang Qingqi respectfully invites the holy reading".

The palace maid opened it and took a look, and it was indeed a picture of the spring palace where the goblins were fighting, and there were lines of fragrant poems with beautiful fonts next to it, and she looked at it a few times, and she blushed with shame.

"Quick! Show me! Emperor Tongzhi said hurriedly, "If not, it will be soft again." ”

The palace maid hurriedly returned to the bedside, put the open spring palace atlas in front of the Tongzhi Emperor, the Tongzhi Emperor concentrated on looking at the spring palace, and after a while, he was fascinated.
