Just when the two were hugging and paralyzing together, a eunuch's chanting voice came from outside the door: "The Queen Mother has arrived at the ......" Before the words were finished, they were "snapped!" The two slaps were obviously interrupted by the crisp sound of the slap.
The surprise of the Tongzhi Emperor is not trivial, Fan Hong'er in his arms was also frightened, the two hurriedly sat up straight, Fan Hong'er didn't care about the Tongzhi Emperor who was naked, and hurriedly put on his belly pocket, before he put on his clothes, the door opened, and Liu Chengyin led the Empress Dowager Cixi to walk in first.
Emperor Tongzhi was putting clothes on his body, and when he saw his mother coming in, he was immediately stunned.
Empress Dowager Cixi's face was full of frost, her eyes were so cold that they seemed to be falling on ice ballast, she looked at Emperor Tongzhi fixedly for a while, and then turned her gaze to Fan Hong'er, who was trembling and shrugging her breasts.
Fan Hong'er didn't care that her clothes were not neat, so she jumped down barefoot from the dragon bed and knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"Slave and maid please Lafayette!"
Emperor Tongzhi reacted at this time, and immediately kowtowed to his mother on the bed: "My son asks the emperor's mother!" ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi did not answer her son at all, but stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Fan Hong'er: "Fox! The emperor is still sick, you seduce him to do this! Are you trying to kill the Emperor?! ”
"Slaves don't dare! It's the emperor's ......"
Before Fan Hong'er's words fell, she was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Cixi: "Enchanting! Dare to talk nonsense! Drag it to a quiet place and die! ”
"The queen mother spared the slaves!" Fan Hong'er screamed in horror, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to pick her up without saying anything, dragged her up and walked out.
"Your Majesty! - The emperor helps! ——”
Listening to Fan Hong'er's cry gradually drifting away, Emperor Tongzhi's heart tightened, he subconsciously wanted to intercede for Fan Hong'er, but as soon as he met his mother's blade-like gaze, he was frightened, and the words of intercession flew out of the clouds.
Seeing Emperor Tongzhi naked and kneeling there like chaff, the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, but when she saw her son sweating like pulp, she remembered the imperial doctor's warning, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"The emperor is still sick, sweating so much, don't catch a cold. Hurry up and lie down! He wanted to reprimand his son, but his words became like this.
Although his mother did not reprimand him, Emperor Tongzhi was still terrified. He looked up and looked blankly at his mother, who did not look at him again, but got up and walked out.
The eunuchs withdrew, and the door to the bedroom squeaked shut.
Hearing the sound of locking outside, Emperor Tongzhi was startled, but at this time, he no longer had the courage to get up and check.
The Empress Dowager Cixi left the Qianqing Palace, and the anger on her face did not disappear.
"What's the name of this just now?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, this fox girl just now, called Fan Hong'er, is a person from the Han Army and has been in the palace ......for three years," Liu Chengyin quickly replied.
"Is it one of the four promises that the emperor has newly sealed?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked again.
"Back to the Queen Mother, it is one of the four." Liu Chengyin replied, "This one is the one who is fortunate to be the most lucky......"
"Sure enough, the fox is beautiful!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily, and then let out a heavy sigh, "Go to Zhongcui Palace." ”
"Huh! ——”
When the Empress Dowager Ci'an learned that the Empress Dowager Cixi had come, she was a little surprised, and she personally went out to greet her, and as soon as she met Cixi, she found that Cixi's face was very unsightly.
The two sat down after entering the house to pay their respects, and the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the Empress Dowager Ci'an and suddenly burst into tears.
"What's going on? Sister, talk to me about it. Seeing the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly crying, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was shocked and hurriedly asked.
The Empress Dowager Cixi did not speak, but shed tears vigorously, and while crying, she took the living note file of the Tongzhi Emperor from the hands of the accompanying eunuchs and handed it to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.
The Empress Dowager Ci'an took the file strangely, opened it and looked at it, and after a while, her face also changed.
"How can the Emperor be like this?! Alas! ”
"What the emperor did, I was so disappointed......" Cixi said abruptly, "The emperor is so absurd, and he is obsessed with women, if he misses the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty, how can I ask you and my sister to go to see Emperor Daxing......"
Speaking of this, Cixi burst into tears for a while.
Seeing Cixi crying, the Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but shed tears.
"I think how many hardships our sisters went through to keep his throne, but he is so ...... now" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "I am really ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors......"
The two sisters cried for a while, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an collected her tears and said: "Sister, don't be sad, the emperor was raised by you and my sisters, and he was only close to the government for a short time. You have to check the people around him and replace them with a group of honest and reliable people! ”
"That's what my sister said." Cixi nodded with tears in her eyes, "Just now, my sister was angry, and she had already killed the fox girl on the emperor's hospital bed......"
"Such a vixen is innocent of death!" Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "These newly sealed promises are all sent to the Shen Criminal Division!" Those minions around the emperor, if they found out that there were irregularities, they were all killed! It can be regarded as a warning to these subordinates in the palace! As for the emperor, his body has not recovered yet, so it is not appropriate to take heavy responsibility, let him go to the Baohua Hall and repent in front of the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors! ”
"Just follow my sister's ......," Empress Dowager Cixi said with tears in her eyes.
Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, Liu Chengyin on the side felt a stir in his heart, although he did not have any abnormalities on the surface, sweat oozed from his palms.
Because he knew what the decision of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces just now meant to those people.
Not long after, a team of eunuchs came to the Qianqing Palace, and the guards who accompanied them took away all the eunuchs who were on duty and accompanied the Tongzhi Emperor. The new eunuch came with a will, "I respectfully ask the Lord Long Live to move to the Baohua Hall to meditate and repent."
When Emperor Tongzhi got dressed again and came to the Baohua Palace, he was surprised to find that his teacher Weng Tongyi had been waiting here early.
Weng Tongyi looked dazed at this time, he accepted the will to come to the Baohua Hall to accompany the emperor to repent, but the will did not explain what mistakes the emperor had made.
Seeing that the teacher also accompanied him to repent, Emperor Tongzhi sighed, did not dare to look at Weng Tongyi's puzzled gaze, but knelt down on the futon by himself.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say a word, Weng Tongyi was inconvenient to ask. He knew in his heart that no matter what mistake the emperor made, he, the teacher, would definitely not be able to get out of it, so he could only sulk and kneel down on the futon.
At nightfall, tranquility finally returned to the Forbidden City.
In the room, Liu Chengyin sat there with a sad face, sighing incessantly.
After a while, Li Lianying came back, and when she saw Li Lianying coming in, Liu Chengyin stood up suddenly.
"Chief, those minions, all ...... It's cleaned up......" Li Lianying said in a low voice.
Liu Chengyin nodded, and tears flowed down at once.
"Alas! Poor thing! Liu Chengyin choked up and said.
Li Lianying remembered the tragic situation when those eunuchs were executed, and she was also sad, so she quickly took out a white towel and handed it to Liu Chengyin. Liu Chengyin took it, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "Stay for a while, you go to check, these people who are gone, there are still some people in the family, send some silver next to home, the silver is from me, you can give more, try to give more...... They are all miserable people! ”
"The minions are on their behalf, thank you, the chief manager!" Li Lianying was grateful, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Liu Chengyin.
Today he understood why in this palace, everyone revered Liu Chengyin. Why does the Empress Dowager Cixi always compare Liu Chengyin with herself, saying that she can "be half as good as 'Yin Liu', even if you burn high incense"What does this sentence mean!
The next day, the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
"I respectfully invite the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor Wanfu Jin'an!"
Before Li Hongzhang saluted, he noticed that above the main hall, the throne of Emperor Tongzhi was empty. But when he saluted, he still brought the emperor in with him.
"Flat." The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her hand and said with a pleasant face, "The emperor is slightly ill today, and he can't come if he is passing on the imperial doctor's attention." ”
"I don't know what disease the emperor is suffering from? Does it matter? Li Hongzhang was keenly aware of the extraordinary, and asked with a look of concern.
"The emperor has suffered from some wind and cold at night, it doesn't matter, and he will recover in a few days." The Empress Dowager Cixi lightly revealed the matter of Emperor Tongzhi's personal reception in the future, and then changed the topic and said, "How many days has Li Zhitai been in Beijing?" ”
"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it has been five days since the minister arrived in Beijing." Li Hongzhang replied.
"These days are just in time for the weather to get cold, and Li Zhengtai also needs to pay attention to his body." Empress Dowager Cixi said.
"Yes." Li Hongzhang said.
The Empress Dowager Cixi asked some more about the territory of Zhili, and Li Hongzhang answered them one by one. Then the two sides exchanged a few more gossips. Just when Li Hongzhang thought that the audience was over and was about to leave, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked something like this: "I heard that Li Zhitai and Fujian Governor Lin Yizhe have a good relationship?" ”
"What the Queen Mother said is that the minister and Lin Yizhe are friends who have forgotten their years." Li Hongzhang said.
