Chapter 6 The Academy

This morning, Guan Xuqing just opened his eyes. Seeing the two personal attendants standing beside the bed and the eunuch Wang Shang, who had been with him since entering the palace, they saw that the little emperor was awake and hurriedly served him to get dressed. Guan Xuqing enjoyed such treatment very much. Alas, feudal society is as good as feudal society. See, you don't have to do anything yourself. After changing clothes, looking at the hundred side dishes on the table, Guan Xuqing was completely blindsided, is this his breakfast? This is too wasteful, even in modern society, no matter how rich people are, they will not have a breakfast of a hundred side dishes. You must know how many people in our country still have not solved the problem of food and clothing. The government spends so much money every month, and in addition to providing the necessary expenses for the royal family, I don't know how much it is black? With such a ** government, it is no wonder that so many people will go forward to overthrow it. But now that I'm in charge of this country, I should be able to change the status quo. Guan Xuqing was thinking about it, and the personal eunuch Wang Shang said, "Your Majesty, please eat." ”

"So many dishes? Is it all for me? Guan Xuqing asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, you are now the Emperor. You can't talk about me, you have to say me. These are the emperor's breakfasts, all for the emperor," Wang Shang replied.

"Oh, I ...... I...... Can't eat so much. Let's eat together. Call the guards and maids outside. "Guan Xuqing is not used to calling himself me. However, I am very willing to correct this title.

"The slave doesn't dare, it's all for the emperor. The slave didn't dare to eat at the same table with the emperor, this was not in accordance with the rules, and the slave did not have this blessing. Please also ask the emperor not to torture the minions. Wang Shang knelt on the ground and replied cautiously. But the heart is hot. This little master is so unscrupulous, much more approachable than the Queen Mother. But after all, it's just a child, and if you're a child, you can't count.

Guan Xuqing saw that Wang Shang was scared like this, and thought: Why don't you just have a meal together, I'm afraid that it will become like this. It seems that this feudal traditional concept is deeply ingrained in the minds of these eunuchs. I'm afraid it won't change for a while. So he didn't force it, he sat down at the table unscrupulously and began to eat a lot, but to be honest, the level of the imperial kitchen in this palace is really good, and it is estimated that people in modern society are not blessed to enjoy it. It may be that this Chinese cuisine has been passed down to modern society for thousands of years, and there are few decent ones. After eating and drinking, Wang Shang led him to greet the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother" Although Guan Xuqing entered the palace for only one day, the rules in the palace had already been taught by the personal eunuch.

"Your Majesty, get up." Ci'an looked at Guan Xuqing with care.

"Sister, are you looking for a few teachers for the emperor to teach him to read and write?" Cixi asked Ci'an.

"Well, has the emperor ever read in the palace?" Ci'an asked Guan Xuqing.

"Not yet, the prince said that he would find me a gentleman in the New Year." Guan Xuqing replied.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are now the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty. The ancestors of the country will depend on you to carry forward in the future, you have to study hard now, you can't be lazy, find you the best teacher now, and go to the study from tomorrow onwards. Cixi said sternly.

"Yes" Guan Xuqing didn't dare to be disrespectful to Cixi now.

"Sister, I think I'll let Weng Tongsu teach the emperor Chinese. He is well-read and well-versed in Han Chinese culture. Manwen asked the prince Boyan to teach him. Jing Shou taught him classics. Cixi said to Ci'an.

"Well, it's still my sister's thoughtfulness. So be it. Ci'an replied with satisfaction.

Guan Xuqing was in a cold sweat when he heard this, he thought that being an emperor should be doing nothing every day, and he could do whatever he wanted! Why did you become a free emperor for a day, and you have to go back to school. What kind of Sinology, Manchu, classics. It's even more painful than studying in modern society before. The oracle-like Manchu language, I'm still willing to learn English, and it's a bit basic anyway. How do you learn this Manchu language? Oh my God, you'd better put me back on, I don't want to be the emperor anymore.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Ci'an saw that Guan Xuqing's face was not good, so he hurriedly asked.

"Back to the emperor's mother, I, oh no, I ...... It is important for me to read and write, but we are all about to win the world, and I want to learn more about horseback riding and archery. "Since I want to study, I have to fight for a physical education class.

In fact, Guan Xuqing has other plans, and he has been observing since he entered the palace. The current governor of the capital Jiumen is Rong Lu, a close confidant of Cixi. If you want to bring down Cixi, you can't do it without military power. However, Cixi is suspicious by nature, and the selection criterion is as long as you are loyal, not capable. It is almost impossible to plot against Rong Lu, so I want to get to know a few more generals and see if I can organize a team.

"Oh? The emperor is too young now. It's nothing to read, what to do if you fall on a horse now, let's talk about it in a few years. Cixi said dissatisfiedly.

"It's good that the emperor has this heart, but now the Qing Dynasty is weak and weak, and a lot of the tax and silver of the annual income has to be compensated to foreigners. It's all because we can't beat others, and the emperor's heart is very rare, so let's do it, I still don't want to ride a horse. Usually tired of reading, you can go to practice your fists and feet. Ci'an said to Guan Xuqing with relief.

"But, my sister ......"

"It's not a big deal to move your body," Ci'an interrupted Cixi's words, turned his head to a eunuch and said, "Go, call Dong Liang, the commander of the Shenji Battalion." ”

"Chirp"

Guan Xuqing's heart was relieved, it seemed that Cixi still had some concerns about Ci'an. Could it be true that history says that Ci'an had Xianfeng's edict? If it's true, then things are easy to do. Get rid of Cixi, it's not a dream to be pro-government!

Although Cixi was not speaking, her eyes showed extreme dissatisfaction. And the whole body is filled with an imperceptible murderous aura.

There would be no tall man in his twenties, dressed in military uniform, entering the palace.

"Dong Liang, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, knocked to see the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and knocked to see the Emperor!" The man knelt on the ground with the sword at his waist in one hand.

"Get up" Ci'an raised his hand, "Commander Dong, the emperor is young, our sisters have discussed, when you have time, come to the palace to teach the pope to use his fists and feet, and train the emperor's body to be stronger." ”

"Obey the Empress Dowager's decree." Dong Liang replied.

"Well, Commander Dong! The emperor is still young, you have to take care of the emperor. The emperor scratched some skin, I want your life. Cixi threatened.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the minister guarantees with his life, and the emperor will not have any mistakes." Dong Liang replied quietly.

"Well, you go down first. The emperor has succeeded in his studies, and I will be rewarded! Ci'an said.

"Oh, Empress Dowager Xie"
