That night, Guan Xuqing was reading a book in the Heart Cultivation Palace. Wang Shang, the eunuch with him, hurriedly ran in, panting and puffing: "The emperor... Your Majesty, due to the wrong number of acrobatic troupes you found, the guards of Xihuamen did not allow them to let them go. I also had to check the props of the performance troupe, and there was a quarrel at the door. said that he wanted to reason with the Queen Mother. ”

"Presumptuous, they dare to fence the people I found?" Guan Xuqing threw down the book and rushed out.

At night, the Forbidden City is exceptionally quiet, and the bright moonlight fills the entire palace.

A group of people were arguing about something at the gate of Xihua Gate.

"The emperor said that the acrobatic troupe only has a hundred people. Why are you here one hundred and eighty? And what are these carts of stuff? We're going to check! A guard leader in charge of the guard shouted.

"Official, we are here by the emperor's order. The Ministry of Internal Affairs informed us of 180 people, not 100 people. You must be mistaken. These cars are all props for performances, and when you check it, it is messed up, and there is something missing, so you can't perform. The emperor still doesn't want to cut off our heads? A young man who looked to be only about twenty years old said and took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to the guard.

"That's it? What about sending Hanako? There are so many people here, you can look at it. The man said greedily.

"Who is so bold as to dare to block the performance team I invited?" Guan Xuqing shouted from afar.

"The slave greets the emperor." The guards fell to their knees.

"Xiaomin greets the emperor." As soon as the others saw that the person was the emperor, they also knelt down one after another.

"Humph! Bold minions. What a crime to dare to openly ask for a bribe! Guan Xuqing scolded.

"The slave is guilty, please spare the slave." The leader hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Next time I let me see it, I will definitely tell the Queen Mother that I want your life." Guan Xuqing said indignantly.

"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie." The leader hurriedly kowtowed in thanksgiving.

"Wang Shang, take the performance team to rest." Guan Xuqing commanded.

"Chirp"

The group pushed five carts and entered the palace in an orderly manner! After Guan Xuqing saw them go away, he turned to the guards and said, "Today's matter, I will not punish you for the time being." If you make another mistake, I will pluck out your skin. ”

"Your Majesty." Everyone shouted in unison.

Guan Xuqing replied to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Wang Shang brought someone in, the young man who had just spoken to the leader of the guards at the Xihua Gate.

"Zhang Yu, the commander of the first company of the youth battalion, knocked to see the emperor." The young man fell to his knees.

"Get up." Guan Xuqing looked excited. Looking at Zhang Yu, he wanted to see the silver that had still gone out in the past few years. Finally seeing results.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yu got up and said.

"Wang Shang, go out. No one is allowed to come in without my orders. ”

"Chirp"

Guan Xuqing looked at the young man named Zhang Yu carefully. I saw that he had a square face, big eyes, and a strong physique. At first glance, he is a practitioner.

Place your hands vertically at your sides.

"Your name is Zhang Yu?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"Yes, he was adopted by General Dong Liang in the year of Guangxu. Later, he was promoted to the commander of a company. Zhang Yu replied.

"Do you know what you're doing in the palace this time?" Guan Xuqing continued to ask.

"General Dong asked us to enter the palace to assist the emperor in accomplishing the grand cause. Everything is under the command of the emperor. Zhang Yu replied.

Guan Xuqing stood up, crossed his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth. muttered: "Today, there are many bandits, and our Qing Dynasty has reached the point of life and death. To the north, Tsarist Russia is pressing forward step by step, entangled in a large area of our Mongolian land. The war in Xinjiang in the west continued to drag a large number of troops and salaries from the imperial court. In the south, France is invading Vietnam step by step, and has approached our Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. In the northeast, Japan continued to increase its troops in Korea. Vainly trying to attack the birthplace of our Qing Dynasty through Chao Xian. On the southeast coast, gunboats from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and other countries travel back and forth, and can land at any point at any time. And now that the court is a traitor, I have the will to save the country and the people, but it is difficult to implement it like a shackle between hands and feet. Alas......"

"Your Majesty, General Dong has taught us since I was a child that we are just soldiers. With obedience to orders as his duty, the emperor raised us for seven years. We will do what the emperor tells us to do. We have never read since we were young, and we do not understand national affairs. Zhang Yu said.

Dizzy, after talking to him for a long time, it turned out that he was playing the piano to the cow. These people have all been brainwashed by Dong Liang. I only know how to obey orders, and I don't care about anything else. I believe that if they were to go to Japan to assassinate the Japanese emperor now, they would do it right away.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, you will kill the rebel for me." Guan Xuqing said.

"Chirp"

In the early morning, the Forbidden City was as usual, and the ministers entered the palace one after another.

Guan Xuqing asked An to follow Cixi into the Taihe Hall and prepare for the early dynasty.

The ministers of civil and military affairs stood in two rows, after Cixi and Guan Xuqing sat down. Emperor Weng Tongsu took a step forward and said, "Queen Mother, this morning is the court." The minister has something to say. ”

Cixi looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Guan Xuqing. This Guangxu's teacher usually doesn't say a word in the court. Have something to say today? Is it about Guangxu?

"Master Weng, please speak." Cixi said.

"The emperor is gifted and intelligent, and he has learned all over the past and present in a few years. After that, he should take the world as his teacher, and the old minister asked to resign from the post of emperor. Weng Tongsu said.

"Master Weng is too modest, and the emperor is still young. You need to continue to teach in order to run the country in the future. Become a master of a generation. Cixi replied.

"The Queen Mother, the emperor is quite an ancestor. There is a generation of Ming lord style, and the minister is unable to teach. It's better for the queen mother to return to the emperor. The emperor will definitely make my Qing Dynasty stronger and stronger. Weng Tongsu said and winked at Guan Xuqing.

As soon as the words fell, the pot exploded in the court. The emperor is only ten years old, how can he be pro-government? This Weng Tongsu is crazy! He doesn't want to live anymore? How can Daqing teach a hairy child?

The next sentence of yours and my sentence is a mess. And Cixi looked at Guan Xuqing on it, and then looked at Weng Tongsu. replied: "This palace didn't want to get involved in political affairs, but the emperor is young. I have to be like this, since Master Weng said that the emperor can already be pro-government, then you can talk about it, or I will return to the government and the emperor? ”

"Queen Mother, no. The emperor is young, and the Qing Dynasty can't do without you. Rong Lu was the first to jump out.

"Queen Mother, the minister thinks it's inappropriate. The emperor is too young to pick up the beams. Prince Yan also hurriedly said.

Cixi looked at Prince Alcohol and said, "Prince Alcohol, what do you say?" ”

"The queen mother, the minister thought that the emperor still needed the support of the queen mother. It is not possible to be pro-government yet. Prince Alcohol was in a cold sweat, and secretly scolded Weng Tongsu in his heart. Isn't that trapping oneself in injustice?

"Why not?" Guan Xuqing stood up and said.

"Cixi, you messed up the court and poisoned the Empress Dowager. What is the crime of forming a party for personal gain? Guan Xuqing said righteously.

"You, you...... Your Majesty, you are spewing blood. Cixi looked at Guan Xuqing in horror.

She may never have imagined that this emperor, who had been silent for several years, would suddenly explode.

"Come on, pass on the imperial doctor," Guan Xuqing shouted.

But no one called the Imperial Doctor......

"Little Lizi, give the order. Close the nine gates, and let Cologne transfer a hundred imperial forest troops" Cixi panicked and continued: "Ronglu, go and take the internal and external firearms battalions, the forward battalion, and the infantry battalion to protect the four gates of the palace. ”

"Chirp" Li Lianying and Rong Lu replied at the same time.

"Bang...... Bang ......" after two loud bangs. Rong Lu and Li Lianying just walked out of the temple gate and fell in a pool of blood.

The ministers were terrified and looked for objects to cover up.

"Hahaha, Cixi, it's all this time, you still don't admit your guilt. To tell you the truth, the army of the king has entered Beijing last night. The palace was ambushed by 3,000 warriors who were proficient in marksmanship. The imperial examination had expected that you had such wolf ambitions. Wang Shang, take out the secret edict found in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager. Guan Xuqing said loudly.

Wang Shang handed over a forgery written by Weng Tongsu.

"Master Weng, read it in front of all the ministers." Guan Xuqing handed it over to Weng Tongsu.

Weng Tongsu cleared his throat and said: "Tell the queen, a hundred years later, Concubine Yi will help her mother to be the queen mother, and she has to be respected as the queen mother, but she is by no means a peaceful person. Xianfeng 11th year of July 15 royal pen. ”

"It's fake, it's fake, it's really I'd have burned it a long time ago." Cixi shouted frantically.

"The Empress Dowager Dong took out the secret edict, and you killed her. I want to avenge the Queen Mother today. Come on, take Cixi down. Guan Xuqing shouted.

Suddenly, more than 50 people rushed out from all around the palace, all of them were ten-year-old black-clothed boys. I've never seen it before, and I don't know where it came from.

"Who dares to touch the Queen Mother? Do you want to rebel? Gui Xiang immediately shouted.

Gui Xiang was Cixi's younger brother and was fourteen years younger than Cixi. He has a big temper, but he doesn't have any ability. Relying on his sister's relationship, he also became an infantry commander.

As soon as Gui Xiang shouted, nearly two hundred Imperial Forest soldiers immediately rushed towards the Taihe Palace, but halfway through the rush, they heard bang, bang, bang gunshots.

There was already a mess outside the hall. The fifty black-clothed young men in the hall with loaded guns and ammunition have a clear division of labor, the escort of the escort, the guard of the hundred officials, the detention of Cixi, and the seizure of Guixiang. At first glance, it is a well-trained team.

Prince Gong looked at it, and said secretly in his heart: Lao Qi really has a set, such a big thing is actually not missing, and I don't know where to get such a terrifying team. It seems that he wants to be the emperor.

Guan Xuqing's mood was also extremely tense, and the battle outside the hall was over. Of course, the Imperial Forest Army is not an opponent with cold weapons, and it has been easily solved.

"Zhang Yu knocked on the emperor, and all the rebellions outside the palace have been killed." Zhang Yu knelt down and said.

"Okay, where's Prince Alcohol?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"The minister is in" Prince Alcohol no longer knows the son in front of him.

"Rong Lu conspired against Cixi and was killed. You immediately succeeded Rong Lu as the commander of the Nine Gates and closed the Nine Gates. Jointly defend the capital with Wu Guangsuo, the general army of Tianjin. "Guan Xuqing has arranged.

"Wow." Prince Alcohol looked at his son, of course, hoping that he would be able to make his own decisions.

During the Xianfeng period, Prince Alcohol was the Admiral of Jiumen, and most of the current ten battalions of men and horses are his old subordinates. He went to take office, even if he didn't have a letter of appointment from Cixi, it still worked.

Under the careful planning of Guan Xuqing, 1881 AD, the seventh year of Guangxu. Guan Xuqing succeeded in eradicating Cixi, and Cixi was given to commit suicide. Li Lianying was killed on the spot, and Rong Lu and other henchmen were wiped out.
