Guan Xuqing hurriedly ran to Cining Palace, and saw Cixi in Cining Palace from a distance at the gate of the palace, sitting on a chair. With his eyes closed, he didn't feel sad at all. A group of eunuchs ran back and forth around, as if looking for something.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother," Guan Xuqing saluted.

"The emperor is here, your mother has ascended to heaven. Go and see your mother, you won't see you again after you are buried tomorrow. Cixi still had her eyes closed.

"E-niang, E-niang...... What's wrong with you? Wake up and look at me" Although the contact time has not been long, Guan Xuqing always feels that he killed her. Historically, Ci'an was supposed to die in a few years. Now...... But because of his own impulsiveness, he sent Ci'an to the west. As soon as I was sad, the tears really flowed down.

Guan Xuqing held Ci'an's body and shook it vigorously. Suddenly, he saw blood flowing out of Ci'an's eyes, nose, and mouth, and turned his head to Cixi and said, "Queen Mother, look, there is blood flowing out of Eniang's mouth, nose, and eyes. She was poisoned. ”

"Where did the blood come from, the emperor was so sad that he looked away." Li Lianying hurriedly wiped away the blood that flowed out.

"It was clear just now." Guan Xuqing didn't want Ci'an to die so worthless, so he had to create some chaos.

At this time, Cixi couldn't sit still. "Little Lizi, send the emperor back, the emperor is so sad."

"Chirp" Li Lianying was also in a cold sweat.

"Queen Mother...... The old minister is late" With a burst of heavy footsteps and a rough voice, a general in military uniform rushed in.

"Bold, without will. Dare to break into the Queen Mother's bedroom! After Cixi saw this general, she was nervous!

This person is none other than Zuo Zongtang, the current governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, who had been in Zhejiang with 5,000 Chu troops and 200,000 Taiping troops, and Guan Xuqing had seen this general on TV. The image on TV is completely different from the real person you see today. No matter who plays Zuo Zongtang on TV, he is a gray-haired and depressed old man. But what I saw today was the opposite, this person was heroic, full of righteousness, a pair of eyes like copper bells, big and energetic, and a beard that grew to the head and neck. At first glance, he is a rough and unpretentious general.

Guan Xuqing still has a deep understanding of this famous general in the late Qing Dynasty. This general can fight and cause trouble. How many times it was Zeng Guofan who saved his life.

After the death of Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang never got a chance, and even the Chu army formed by himself was disbanded after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was exterminated.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Zuo Zongtang is, if he leaves Zeng Guofan, he will be useless, and he can only talk about his ambition to help the world in the thatched house for the rest of his life. I remember that once on TV, Zuo Zongtang was almost killed by this arrogant Mongolian prince because of his contempt for the servants sent by the monk Greenqin, and he completely relied on Zeng Guofan's full efforts to save Zuo Zongtang's life.

Therefore, he also hopes that one day there will be another boss like Zeng Guofan, because such a boss will be a gentleman who is good at playing with power but can tolerate everything. Only in this way can a gentleman be in power, and people like Zuo Zongtang will be useful. This is the sadness of history, but it is also inevitable.

"The ministers see the queen mother, see the emperor." Zuo Zongtang knelt down and said.

"Hmph, General Zuo has a heavy army in his hands, and he doesn't take the mourning family in his eyes, can you come to this harem if you say it?" Cixi said dissatisfiedly.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the ministers returned to Beijing with the edict of the Ministry of War. After returning to Beijing, he received an edict from the Empress Dowager of the East, went to the palace to report on his work, and reported to the Empress Dowager about the Xinjiang border friction incident. As soon as he entered the palace, he suddenly heard the bad news, so he recklessly broke in, and asked the queen mother to surrender. Zuo Zongtang said.

"Queen Mother, E-Niang is still bleeding, she was poisoned. Look," Guan Xuqing knew that Zuo Zongtang was an upright person, so he deliberately shouted loudly.

"Huh?" Zuo Zongtang was taken aback, leaned forward, and scolded with big eyes, "Who gave the Empress Dowager Dong's pulse?" Take the recipe. ”

A eunuch hurriedly sent the recipe prepared by Li Lianying over.

I saw: Empress Dowager Ci'an was overworked, causing heart, typhoid fever and other diseases. From the morning to the night of March 9, two imperial doctors took turns to take care of the medicine, one heavier than the other. At noon (11 o'clock at noon) party: The queen mother is delirious, her teeth are tightly closed, and the medicine cannot be entered. Unengraved (2 p.m.) side: The Queen Mother has enuresis, phlegm gushing and breathlessness; Unitary carving (6 p.m.) side; The six veins of the Queen Mother will be taken off, and the medicine cannot be lowered; Engraved (8 p.m.) side: The Queen Mother has ascended to heaven.

"Murder, murder, on these prescriptions, the onset of illness and the time of medication do not match at all, and they are clearly filled in after the fact." Zuo Zongtang said uprightly.

"At noon today, when I asked E-Niang to say goodbye, E-Niang was fine, where was there any delirium. Wang Shang, call me the imperial doctor who takes care of the medicine" Guan Xuqing is also out of the way, and there is a general to support him. Naturally, the weight of the speech is much greater.

Zuo Zongtang originally thought that the emperor was just a puppet found by the Queen Mother of the West, but now that he looks at it, although the emperor is young, he is bold and thoughtful, and he will be a generation of British masters in time.

"Is it the other way around? Do you want to rebel? Cixi shouted loudly.

Cixi's shout stunned Wang Shang on the spot, it was not to go, and it was not to go. Just standing stupidly.

"The minister doesn't dare, please calm the queen mother's anger." Zuo Zongtang hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Alas, Lord Zuo, the Empress Dowager died suddenly, don't say that your ministers are surprised, even I have doubts. Therefore, during the small inspection of changing clothes, Rong Lu, Prince Li Shixue and others participated in the consultation together with the imperial doctor. Rong Lu, you tell Master Zuo about the consultation. ”

A man in his twenties walked out of the crowd and said with a Henan accent: "Prince Chenheli participated in the consultation, and after careful examination, there was nothing unusual, and the Empress Dowager Dong died of exhaustion." ”

It was the first time Guan Xuqing had seen this Admiral of the Nine Gates, and he was not good-looking. A pair of treacherous little eyes were embedded in the square face. The master is gracious to him, and he doesn't want to say anything about Cixi's heart.

"Lord Zuo, is there anything else you don't understand?" Cixi secretly got it in her heart.

"The minister has no objection," Zuo Zongtang said helplessly.

It's over, Guan Xuqing saw that the form took a sharp turn after Rong Lu came out to speak, and even this upright old general had no objections, then the Empress Dowager died in vain. It's a pity that I'm too small. You can't be arbitrary.

"Then everyone kneel down," Cixi waved her hand and said, "Xu Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you are responsible for issuing orders to the world, and all governors, Taoist platforms, and county yamen must hang filial piety. ”

"Chirp" Xu Tong knelt down to receive the order.

Everyone went out one after another. Only Guan Xuqing and Cixi were left, "Your Majesty, who taught you to send the imperial doctor to interrogate?" Cixi asked meaningfully to this Guangxu Qing.

Cixi couldn't have imagined that the emperor in front of her had crossed over from the society a hundred years later, let alone know all her methods, and the emperor in front of her had already learned it more than a hundred years later. always thought that there must be someone behind the emperor who was teaching him.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I ...... I haven't been taught. I think it's strange that the imperial doctor didn't try his best to use the medicine, and the old 'bearded general just said, it must be that the imperial doctor didn't care to treat Eniang's illness. I'm going to kill them. Guan Xu said in a tender voice.

"Alas, child, your mother has gone. From now on, you don't call me the Queen Mother anymore. You call me Daddy, you know? I am your Amma! Do you understand? Cixi's eyes showed a fierce light. The ** of the right has made her lose her mind. As soon as the Empress Dowager died, she could be said to be powerful in the world, and no one could compare with her. As for the emperor in front of him, Cixi has always regarded him as a puppet and herself as the emperor.

"Yes, the retainers will obey the decree." Guan Xuqing echoed on the surface.

"Well, the emperor should go back and rest," Cixi nodded with satisfaction.

Guan Xuqing was furious, and he wanted to get rid of Cixi in advance, but Cixi got rid of Ci'an in advance. It's really a recipe for stealing chickens, but through this incident, it has also been figured out that history will change. Ci'an died six years before the historical record. Thinking of this, Guan Xuqing was excited again, Cixi? How could this old witch fight me, a high-achieving person in the 21st century, and really treat me as a cowardly and incompetent Guangxu? But we really have to deal with Cixi quickly, and the Sino-French war should be just around the corner. If Cixi is allowed to rule, the matter of winning the battle and paying reparations may happen again.
