Mingrui is from the Fucha clan, his father Fu Wen is the elder brother of the Qianlong Empress Fucha, and Fu Heng, a close confidant of the humerus who accompanied Qianlong to flee south to Yinghua, is his uncle, and another uncle, Fu Qing, died in Sanlitun, and the culprit is directed at the Empress Dowager Cichun.

Under the righteousness of the Cun clan, Mingrui, who was weak and weak, did not hate the Queen Mother very much, and even had the ambition to fight Beijing City with the Nanban, but the Nanban army had just arrived today, and the outer city had fallen today.

The originally anticipated heroic siege of the city had ended before it was even unveiled, and Acton also wanted to put on a martyrdom show in the Forbidden City, where there were still a large number of concubines, including his aunt.

Men deserve to die, so why take women on the road together?

After passing down Acton's military order, Mingrui thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he went to the palace to find his aunt.

Although the Empress Dowager Cichun occupied the harem, many of the concubines left behind by Kangxi, Yongzheng and even the Qianlong Dynasty were from the Manchurian nobles, she dared to seize the throne and be famous, but she did not dare to kill, the harem concubines were just treated poorly, but they could still live their own lives, and even the Qianlong Empress Fucha was also in the Xianfu Palace with the name of a queen mother.

The Manchurians moved north, but these first emperors and concubines did not follow, saying that they wanted to guard the mausoleum for the first emperor, but whether the Empress Dowager Cichun forced them to stay, or whether they had other plans, they really left it themselves, and even Mingrui didn't know.

"Is this day coming so soon......"

At the age of thirty, the beautiful Fucha pursed his lips, his eyes full of fear.

She said bitterly: "Men are already waiting to die, what can we women do?" It's just a matter of resignation. ”

As soon as the words fell, another female voice sounded: "What's wrong with the woman?" According to Nanban, women also hold up half the sky! The mourning family wants you all to stay in the Forbidden City, just to take up a corner of God and leave a way for us to survive! ”

Mourning ......

After the death of the emperor of the old system, the queen mother can call herself a mourning family, according to this calculation, except for the two queen dowagers of Cichun and Ci'an. It is also possible for the Fucha clan to call themselves mourners, after all, Emperor Qianlong is nominally finished, and she is also the queen mother.

Who is this mourning from?

Mingrui hit a thousand, Fucha's Wanfu, and said in unison: "The Queen Mother ......"

Strictly speaking, Ru Xi is also the empress dowager, after all, she is the concubine of Yongzheng, and then separated by the three emperors of Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang. According to the official face system, she is the "Mrs. Queen Mother", fortunately, Jiaqing is the brother and brother of Qianlong, and Daoguang is the son of Qianlong, so she was finally exempted from the title of "wife", of course, as far as the little emperor of Daoguang is concerned. It is also "right" to call Ru Xi the queen mother.

Based on a certain woman's nature, Ru Xi doesn't want to be crowned "too" anymore, so everyone has always only called the queen mother, but they are muttering in their stomachs. This pile of confused accounts is really hard to calculate, who let the Qing Dynasty change four emperors in 30 years under the pressure of the British.

The person who came was not Ru Xi, this woman was the same age as Ru Xi, it was Qianlong's biological mother, Yongzheng Xi's concubine Niu Colu. When Qianlong ascended the throne. She is still the queen mother of the brand, but in front of Ru Xi, who is scheming and has the power of the north and the south, she is the queen mother of the harem. And Qianlong retired, and when Jiaqing took the throne, she completely faded out of the court's sight and retired in the harem in the name of the empress dowager.

Niu Colu said: "Although the mourning family hates Ru Xi for messing with the emperor, but in the affairs of the Manchu clan, Ru Xi is meritorious. We, the women of the former emperors, stayed in the Forbidden City. It's all for yourself. If you still think that you are Manchurian, you are willing to contribute to the protection of my Manchu people. Don't leave it to fate! ”

Fucha was gloomy, but Mingrui was confused, what else could these women do, and what else did they want to do?

Niu Colu gritted his teeth and said: "The former Jin and Song Dynasty, kidnapped tens of thousands of Zhao and Song women, and the harem concubines and emperors were all wiped out, although there are not enough Manchurian women today, the concubines of the first palace are here, and they must be able to compensate for a little ......."

Mingrui's pupils dilate, and the bitter taste spreads in his chest, is it really to respond to this retribution?

On the morning of June 10, in front of the noon gate, looking at the sparse and sparse hundreds of people gathered here, and listening to the hustle and bustle that almost covered the entire city of Beijing, Acton burst into tears. He also wanted to gather the people in the city, sprinkle blood at the noon gate, and let the Holy Dao face up to the hearts of the people, but he didn't expect that the tens of thousands of people in Beijing had no heart to struggle. As soon as the outer city was in chaos, the bannermen and soldiers who were still dutifully guarding the inner city walls dispersed in a hurry, some fled north of the city with their families, and some went home to wait for the final judgment.

"Don't do anything unhelpful, please surrender here, and offer a Forbidden City to the Holy Dao."

In the crowd, Yin Jishan mourned, Acton frowned, and after some inner torment, he nodded heavily.

"I don't know the price...... What will the Holy Word think? ”

The two of them turned into negotiators, from staying in Beijing to negotiators, and began to ponder the explanation left by Ru Xi before leaving, as far as they are concerned, this price is already irreversible, and the slave is extremely subservient, but under the Yinghua Northern Expedition raging system, how likely is it that the Holy Dao will accept this price?

Outside Sanlitun, there are many corpses, the boxers who besieged the Yinghua Consulate General before have all disappeared, not only the outer city has been lost, but the inner city has no reason to defend, outside the Consulate General, a large number of officials are strictly guarding this building, these soldiers are wrapped in red scarves around their arms, the Manchu military department squire, the former university scholar, Jiang Pu, the son of Jiang Tingxi, the minister of military aircraft, is no exception, not only wrapped in a red scarf, but also took off the official hat, and the bald head with a braided hair is clearly visible.

"After all, the Holy Dao is going to enter the Forbidden City, and even if we and other Hanchen want to be liquidated, we must leave the Gangchang Dao unified in the new dynasty. Five generations of veterans like me, I'm afraid that I will be treated by the Holy Dao as a signboard, you are still young, you have to try to seize the opportunity. ”

Recalling Zhang Tingyu's instructions, the apprehension in Jiang Pu's heart churned like boiling water, and his admiration for Zhang Tingyu rose to another level. Zhang Zhongtang's expectation should be right, the Holy Dao will not let go of Zhang Tingyu and a group of old Hanchens, but the ordinary Hanchen below, like him, as long as they are obedient, the Holy Dao Emperor has to use it. Without them, Han officials, how can they calm the hearts of the northerners? Without them, how could the Holy Dao sit firmly in the Forbidden City?

Beginning on the morning of 10 June, red and blue clothes came from all directions, entering the city of Beijing, which had been opened in various gates, and basically did not encounter fierce resistance, except for the slight clash at Andingmen. Thousands of boxers with colorful faces and yellow charms on their bodies, incense sticks in their necks, steel knives in their hands, and shouting "Unity God Fist." invulnerable", rushed towards the red clothes who entered the door, they were greeted by flowering bullets, grenades and Daodao guns, after ambushing hundreds of corpses, the boxers scattered in all directions, and one of the senior brothers fled north of the city with a few henchmen.

From afternoon to evening, red and blue clothes poured into the city of Beijing. Piece by piece cleaning up the neighborhood, even in the middle of the night, it is busy with a lantern, and Beijing City has no sleep all night.

On 11 June, a large number of soldiers wearing red and black uniforms entered the city from Yongding Gate and entered Zhengyang Gate through the city. Regardless of the army and the people, everyone knows that the Holy Way has entered the city.

"Why be in such a hurry? Who knows what the Manchu Han people in Beijing still have, it's too risky, anyway, this is the end, and they won't be able to escape later. ”

The black and unmarked carriage of the brigade drove into Yongding Gate and went north along the central axis avenue that had been covered by the guards and pro-army.

Li Xian was closing his eyes and pondering something. There was only a calm look on his face, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly: "It's okay, you can look at the faces of those people on both sides of the street......

Sanniang lifted the curtain slightly, and looked out through the gap, at this time, the carriage had just entered the outer city, and before she could take a closer look, a wave of rushing sound rolled over, as if it was about to overturn the entire convoy.

"Hooray!"

"Long live Great Britain!"

"Holy Dao Ye Shou and Tianqi-!"

Behind the wall of soldiers. A dense crowd was bowing down to the convoy. None of them wore hats, deliberately revealing their slick brains. There was also a red scarf and a red handkerchief in his hand. It's like a field full of flowers.

Sanniang was stunned, she really didn't expect that the people of Beijing would put on such a posture to welcome Yinghua, it felt like welcoming a big savior.

Li Xian knew that there was such a scene, and the die-hard elements of the Qing Dynasty had already run away, and during this period of time, only the unity fist was raging in Beijing, and the people who were still staying in Beijing were suffering from unity fist for a long time.

Yesterday, there was an urgent report, and the nine gates of Beijing were opened, and not only the local pro-British factions were mobilized, but even the Han people who originally rode the wall rose up and expelled the unity fist together. Even the inner city was full of people, so they sat quietly and waited for his arrival. On the road today, I had to report that the red cloth and scissors in Beijing were out of stock......

Of course, he came in a hurry, not because the general situation of Beijing was already decided.

The convoy entered the inner city and was divided into two teams, one team went to the Yinghua Consulate General, Sanniang wanted to express condolences to Chen Run and others who had been sticking to the Consulate General for three months on behalf of Li Shi, and Li Shi's car drove straight to the noon gate.

The red and black crowd came surgingly, a member of the staff carried the golden dragon coat of arms on their shoulders, and the mighty military generals with red tassels rode their horses in front, just outside the noon gate, at least thousands of Qing officials knelt down beside the red carpet that had been laid overnight, the two winter hats were like winter melons in the ground, piled up neatly, and the beads on the winter hats were dim in the spring sun.

At the bottom of the red carpet, in front of the noon gate, Zhang Tingyu, Wei Tingzhen, and Ren Lanzhi, three scholars of the Qing Dynasty and ministers of military aircraft, knelt side by side, each holding a plate with both hands, and placing various things on the plate.

Li Shi, who was dressed in the usual Red Army uniform, got out of the car and glanced at the Qing officials who were kneeling left and right, and his heart was not shocked. This is all the Han officials who remained in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty, and under the leadership of Zhang Tingyu, they organized such a surrender ceremony according to the "ancient system", which is really funny in the eyes of Li Xian, whether it is behavior or intentions.

Coming to the three scholars, the old man with a white beard in the middle and a temperament like a paste that has been dried for a hundred years should be Zhang Tingyu.

Li Xi pointed to the things on the tray in his hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Tingyu rolled his eyelids, the description of the Holy Dao Emperor came to the bottom of his heart, even if he was old, he should be forty-seven, and the wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes also showed the marks of time, but he felt like facing a young man who was less than thirty, his eyes were so bright, so clear, and the overflowing aura seemed to be born, and the decades of time had not sharpened this sharpness at all.

No matter how secretly he described it, Zhang Tingyu suddenly felt that he was facing a wise man who was older than himself, and the depth of his words made him unable to feel the context, which was a bit unpleasant, like the despair of not being able to grasp the heavenly machine even if he made the worst plan.

"What the criminal minister offered is the seal of the Qing Dynasty......"

Zhang Tingyu was pressed by this apprehension, and had to gently touch the arms of his colleagues on the left and right, signaling them to take the initiative.

Wei Tingzhen said: "The criminal minister is dedicated to the Qing Dynasty Society......"

Ren Lanzhi said: "The criminal ministers are dedicated to the Qing Dynasty households, soldiers, money and food......

Zhang Tingyu said again: "The criminal ministers and others today dedicate the Qing Dynasty to Long Live the Qing Dynasty!" ”

When this voice fell, thousands of officials on both sides said in unison: "Criminals and others - for long live the Great Qing Kingdom!" ”

Li Xian laughed, Zhang Tingyu's group of Hanchens is really justified, the righteousness of the Qing Dynasty is the Manchu and Han families, and they are also famous for their Hanchen's dedication to the Qing Dynasty, but ...... Doing such a move of going down the mountain to pick peaches, is it really that he Li Xian is just Qingguo Sheji?

He smiled so kindly, the apprehension in Zhang Tingyu's heart suddenly disappeared, but the next scene made him want to tear.

Li Shi sent the saber on his waist forward, swept it gently, the handle of the knife swept over the tray of the three people, and slowly but resolutely swept the three things to the ground, the sound was not loud, but it crashed into the ears of all the Hanchen present.
