The habits they had developed in the Han army for several months made Xu Zhiyou and Li Chao not dissatisfied with Wang Sirui's reprimand.

They wouldn't even think to find any reason in their favor, and in their opinion, it was the responsibility of the two of them not to catch the real Cixi.

Who made the two of them the commander-in-chief of the palace? With great positions comes great responsibility.

It's a notion that has always been instilled in everyone in the Han Army, in other words, if you can't take on greater responsibilities, then you won't get promoted, it's as simple as that.

And since Wang Sirui entered the capital, to be exact, it should be the beginning of entering the palace, giving people a sense of tyrant.

In Wang Sirui's world, killing seems to be just a matter of words, as long as Wang Sirui can't be satisfied, then the only way to solve all these problems is to use killing.

And Wang Sirui's move can't help but remind some people in the know of the scene after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

The Manchus did not know how to govern the country in the early days, but they had great military power, so whenever something went wrong, their first choice was always to kill, and not to think of anything else.

As long as you do not obey, I will raise the steel knife in my hand, and I will kill until you dare not resist.

Now, Wang Sirui uses the same method, but these ministers in the Taihe Palace know very well that Wang Sirui is not the same as the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty treated the Han people indiscriminately, while Wang Sirui only targeted the Manchus, or those rebels in the palace.

Husband and wife are bedside birds, and they fly separately when disaster comes. This sentence is used as a metaphor for the current situation, which is more appropriate.

What's more, these ministers are only for themselves, and in the face of the threat of death, no one, or only a few, will choose that kind of foolish loyalty.

And they also know very well that the Manchus, for the whole country, are actually a foreign race, even if they are now loyal to the imperial court, and would rather die than give in to Wang Sirui, in the end, no common people will feel that their integrity is very high, but will see their decision as to preserve their own interests, or to protect the Manchu country.

After a series of killings, Wang Sirui has completely controlled the entire court. Even if those people feel very unhappy in their hearts, at least on the surface, they still dare not have any complaints.

As for Yang Fengyin or something, unless they feel that their lives are too hard, who would dare to go against Wang Sirui at this time?

In the square of the Qianqing Palace, since the Han army took control of the palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace have been concentrated here, as for those palace guards or something, basically none of them are still alive now.

"Pull out all the people over the age of forty." Li Chao and Xu Zhiyou led two companies of soldiers to the Qianqing Palace Square in a hurry, and commanded the soldiers behind them.

It is said that it is a square, in fact, it can not be called a square, the Qianqing Palace is a separate courtyard, and the Taihe Hall is on the same central axis, in front of the Qianqing Palace, there is a large open space.

Hundreds of eunuchs were crouching in the clearing, surrounded by a company of soldiers guarding them, and, of course, four machine guns aimed at them nakedly.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is sixty-five years old this year, and no matter how well she is maintained on weekdays, she looks like she must be at least fifty years old.

In order to ensure that Cixi was found, the two decided to narrow down their search for age, but all those over forty years of age, both men and women, were to be brought out and wait for the others to correct them.

Soon, the soldiers of the two companies entered the concentration of eunuchs and palace maids in the open space without saying anything, and brought out all the people they thought met the requirements in a very unreasonable way.

It's just that the palace has only encountered a great disaster not long ago, and the palace has its own rules, but all the elderly palace maids, except for those powerful eunuchs and palace maids, generally get a sum of money when they are in their twenties, and then be sent out of the palace.

Therefore, if the palace maid wants to stay in the palace all the time, then there are only two ways to go, the first is to climb up hard and strive to get to the level of the grandmother. The second is to try to see if you can seduce the emperor or other princes while you are young.

The eunuch's way is slightly better than that of the palace maid, and they have been emasculated anyway, so it doesn't hurt to stay in the palace. But eunuchs weren't their main target.

There are almost more than 20 people who meet the requirements, most of them are eunuchs, and only a few are dressed as palace maids.

"Point out which one is the Queen Mother, and I'll let you go." Xu Zhiyou forcibly pulled up a palace maid who was sitting on the ground and said.

"I ...... I do not know! The palace maid shook her head tremblingly, it seemed that among these people, there was something that made her feel afraid.

"Chop!" Xu Zhi is not giving this palace maid any chance, for him, there is only one chance, since he chooses to give up, it is equivalent to giving up her own life.

How can a person who doesn't even care about his own life deserve the pity of others?

"I really don't know, please let me go!" The palace maid pleaded bitterly, with an innocent expression on her face.

It's just that it was not Xu Zhiyou who responded to her, but the steel knife in the soldier's hand. These were collected from the palace guards, and it was only fitting that they could be used to behead them.

With the knife in her hand, a human head fell to the ground stiffly, staring at the front with her eyes, as if to tell everyone that she would not be blind.

Blood was sprinkled all over the ground, and it was even splashed on the executing soldiers, but for these soldiers who had already seen blood, this amount of blood was really a little unsightly.

Looking at this scene, the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but shudder, secretly praying that the next one would not be themselves.

"Well, I don't have that much time to play with you anymore, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Xu Zhiyou said a little impatiently, after all, Wang Sirui only gave him an hour, if there was no Cixi here, then he would have to take the soldiers to search for other places, and an hour of time was not enough at all, so he didn't dare to delay here for too long.

"Now, the two of you can come out to correct it, as a reward, as long as you point out who the Queen Mother is, you can leave here, on the contrary, the other party's people will all die." Xu Zhiyou said in a very calm tone, as if he was doing something insignificant.

Both sides are a little hesitant, but some people do not hesitate, the other party has shown them enough to kill and decisive attitude before, if they don't seize this opportunity and are preempted by others, then he can only die, or that sentence, but whoever can live, who wants to die?

Besides, even the capital has been occupied, and even the entire royal family has been surrounded, does the Qing Dynasty still have a chance to turn over?

"She, she's the Queen Mother!"

"He's Manager Li!"

A eunuch stood up first and pointed to a palace maid in the middle and said, and the people around him were not to be outdone, seeing that they were preempted by others, they also hurriedly corrected Li Lianying, who was standing not far away.

When Cixi was pointed out, Cixi glared at those palace maids and eunuchs viciously, although she had lost power, but the obscenity she had cultivated over the years still made many people shudder in fright.

"Take it away!" Xu Zhiyou waved his big hand, and immediately left a company of soldiers to guard here.

Now he didn't dare to order all the twenty people to be executed, although those people had to die, because Xu Zhiyou was a man who did what he said, but at least he should have confirmed Cixi's identity before doing so.

Soon, Cixi and Li Lianying were taken to the Taihe Hall not far away.

At this time, the Taihe Hall was so quiet that people were a little scared, Wang Sirui was sitting on the steps, giving people the feeling of a scavenger, but at this moment, no one dared to ignore Wang Sirui's existence.

Even Emperor Guangxu could only sit on the dragon chair in a dark daze, what else could he do if the matter had come to this?

Seeing Xu Zhiyou escorting a man and a woman, after entering the Taihe Hall through the back door, Wang Sirui subconsciously felt that there was no mistake this time, and the bodies of the man and the woman quietly exuded a kind of coercion, which is a momentum that only people who stay in the upper echelons all year round can cultivate.

"Lord Wang, you are coming to see if she is the Queen Mother!" Wang Sirui didn't get up, but surrendered his gaze again****** Yixuan and asked.

At this moment, deep in his heart, he didn't know how many times he had scolded Wang Sirui.

asked him to correct it before, it was the Queen Mother's absence, and now that the Queen Mother is here, can't Wang Sirui be replaced? Do you have to catch him and put him to death?

However, scolding and scolding, Yixuan didn't dare to let Wang Sirui wait too long, for fear that Wang Sirui would be dissatisfied and his head would fall to the ground.

Yixuan nodded helplessly and confirmed Cixi's identity.

"What? Could it be that the prince wants to experience the feeling of being dumb? Wang Sirui continued with a smile.

"No, she is the Queen Mother, and the one next to her is Li Lianying, the chief eunuch." Yixuan was frightened and trembled, and immediately opened his mouth to confirm.

"Does the Queen Mother not want to see me? It's really easy to find the minister! Wang Sirui stood up, looked at Cixi, and said in the tone of a courtier.

However, before Cixi could speak, Wang Sirui's voice changed and continued: "The minister finally found the queen mother, and he doesn't want to lose the queen mother in the future, in that case, the minister will become a sinner in the Qing Dynasty."

The minister has a suggestion, it is better for the queen mother to sit on the chair in the future, so that the minister does not have to worry about the queen mother getting lost.

As for Mr. Li, it must be you who stopped the Queen Mother and didn't let the Queen Mother see me, it's really hateful, you are going to mistake the Qing Dynasty! For those who have misled the country, I don't think there is any need for him to exist. (To be continued.) )
