Chapter 627: The New Capital City of Nanjing
November 28. It's almost the end of the year.
On this day, all the personnel of the Jiangbei battalion arrived at the city of Nanjing.
Because of the large number of people, the team is huge. Li Zhen stood at the gate of the city, ready to greet the little emperor early. Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to be stationed on both sides of the road, but he did not stop the people of the capital from watching, and let the people of Nanjing City watch. In particular, the people already knew that the little emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces would arrive in Nanjing, and there were many people watching the excitement.
At about 10:20 a.m., a team appeared in everyone's sight.
This team is impressively Huang Shihai, Zhilan protected by Yang Banhou, Cixi and others.
Soon, the procession came under the city gates.
Li Zhen walked to the carriage where Cixi and Ci'an were riding, lifted his robe, knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Li Zhen, welcome the holy driver!" Li Zhen knelt down, and the soldiers also knelt down one after another, and they all paid homage to the little emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces who arrived in Nanjing. Cixi was quite satisfied when she saw Li Zhen so respectful, lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealed the situation inside the carriage, and said, "Lord Li, please get up!" ”
Li Zhen stood up, got out of the way, and let Cixi and his party go first. Cixi's carriage moved forward slowly, and the people on both sides of the official road had already seen the situation inside the carriage.
"The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is really young, like a flower and jade, and the little emperor is still a baby in swaddling clothes."
"I also clearly saw that the little emperor was held in the arms of a palace maid, and the queen mother of the two palaces was a young and beautiful woman. Seeing the women and the little emperor in the two palaces, and these two queen dowagers are so young, will they learn from Zhao Ji in the Qin period and go to find a wild man! ”
"You are looking for death, you dare to say such things."
"Why can't you say, who cares about the little emperor! I only recognize Master Lee. ”
"Yes, only Master Li. My cousin's daughter was only able to return home because Lord Li released the palace maid from Hong Xiuquan's palace. If it weren't for Master Li Zhen, how could the family be reunited. ”
……
In the crowd, there was a lot of discussion.
After Li Zhen and the other little emperors entered the city, they went straight to the carriage where Zhilan was. The curtain of the carriage door was rolled up, and Li Zhen went straight in. He hadn't seen Zhilan and the child for a while, and now he saw the two meaty children, and he was happy and happy. When Li Zhen entered the carriage, the people of good deeds saw the situation inside Li Zhen's carriage again.
"I saw the situation inside Lord Li's carriage, and there was a fairy-like woman in it, who was Lord Li's wife. There are also two twins who are very cute. ”
", I didn't see it, why did you see it?"
"Hmph, I really saw it."
……
The people kept talking about this topic.
It's just that there is not a single problem that is not noticed in the consciousness of everyone.
The emperor's carriage passed by, which should have silenced everyone, and it was also a solemn and serious moment, but people ignored the existence of the emperor, or did not consider the emperor's majesty, and all eyes focused on Li Zhen's body, covering up the emperor. In other words, this time it was Li Zhen who appeared, and the little emperor, Cixi and others became the foil.
Back at the Tianwang Mansion, Li Zhen didn't have time to be with the child, so he received an order from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.
Both Cixi and the little emperor temporarily lived in the Heavenly King's Mansion as a place to stay.
Li Zhen has just moved the dragon chair, but the little emperor is here again, after all, he has to build a dragon chair, and the specifications must not be too big. Li Zhen went to the place where the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces lived, bowed and saluted, and said: "Minister Li Zhen, visit the biological mother Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother, I don't know what happened to the two Queen Mothers summoning Weichen?" ”
Ci'an said: "It's okay, I can't look for you!" ”
Li Zhen's face turned cold, and he didn't have a good impression of Ci'an, this woman still thought that he was the queen of Xianfeng, and she hadn't seen the situation in front of her clearly! It was definitely a breeze for him Li Zhen to deal with her.
Li Zhen said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister is busy with state affairs and has no free time. If it weren't for the ministers' hard work, would they have been able to capture Nanjing? If it weren't for the soldiers led by the minister to fight bloodily on the battlefield, could he have killed Hong Xiuquan? I hope that the Queen Mother will respect Weichen, and everyone will respect her, and the Queen Mother is a person who has read poetry and books, and understands this truth. ”
When Ci'an heard this, he trembled with anger.
This dog slave dared to teach him such a lesson, it was too bold.
She was just about to give the order to punish Li Zhen, but Cixi grabbed Ci'an's hand and shook her head slightly. Immediately, Cixi opened her mouth and said, "Lord Li, the mourning family came to you to discuss some things with Lord Li. When the emperor came to Nanjing, he naturally wanted to be here. Before, Hong Xiuquan, the traitor, changed Nanjing to Tianjing, and many people called it Tianjing, so they had to change their names again. Second, after the temporary capital of Nanjing, there need to be officials from six ministries in the DPRK and China, and there are also attendants from various ministries, etc., so please pay more attention to Lord Li. ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he understood in his heart.
Cixi did this to get more rights!
If the little emperor is running around like a refugee, there is no place to go to the court officially, and there are no corresponding officials in the court, it is impossible for the little emperor to take power. Cixi asked Li Zhen to re-establish the imperial court, and after Li Zhen formed the imperial court, she would start to win over some officials and cultivate her own strength.
Only after the little emperor is in power can he erase Li Zhen's imprint.
Cixi took great pains to give herself more rights to fight for.
Li Zhen's heart was like a mirror, but he did not refuse, and said directly: "The queen mother can rest assured, and the minister immediately set about forming six ministers, and strive to restore the operation of the court as soon as possible." After a pause, Li Zhen asked again: "Dare to ask the Queen Mother, is there anything else?" ”
Cixi said: "There is one more thing, please also ask Master Li to bother." ”
Li Zhen said: "Please speak up to the Queen Mother!" ”
Cixi said with a smile: "The emperor is almost a year old, and he needs someone to train him." The mourning family plans to find two teachers for the emperor, one is Master Li, and the other is Wei Yuan in Guangzhou, I don't know what Lord Li wants? ”
Li Zhen said: "The minister obeys the order! ”
Cixi waved her hand, and Li Zhen turned to leave.
After Li Zhen left, Cixi took Ci'an's hand and said lightly: "Sister, we still want Li Zhen to stabilize the situation and not fall out." When we take back the rights little by little, it is not too late to dispose of Li Zhen. Don't rush now, take your time. ”
Ci'an nodded, acknowledging Cixi's words.
After Li Zhen left the place where Cixi and Ci'an lived, he kept thinking on the road. Cixi found a teacher for the little emperor, which was obviously a tight spell on Li Zhen's head. Just imagine, once the relationship between Li Zhen and the little emperor's teachers and students is announced, can Li Zhen deal with the little emperor at will? Apparently impossible.
Especially Cixi actually found Wei Yuan as the little emperor's teacher, once the old gentleman stepped in, Li Zhen's situation was extremely embarrassing. This old gentleman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Cixi's hand is amazing!
Li Zhen sighed lightly, and said in his heart that this woman is not easy to deal with, so be careful.
