Chapter 229: Changes in the Qing Court

The situation in Mexico was basically stable, with McLi's Second Army moving north to drive the former Texas Americans across the Rio Grande, and the Indians who had previously run to New Mexico to cause rebellion were also said to be a headache for the American troops there.

After all, those Indians have changed their equipment, and their combat effectiveness has improved considerably.

The so-called, hooligans know martial arts, no one can stop them, although the Indians are chaotic, but with good weapons, then the American GIs also suffer.

And to the south, now the British in Costa Rica are also coming to stir up the situation, but however, Li Mengyang is not worried at all, he has already met the Americans, the French, are you still afraid of the British?

The situation is already like this, and the affairs of the north and the south do not need to be personally suppressed by him, the emperor, at all, so he will simply drive back...... Oh, it's back to San Francisco.

It's February 1865, and the world's focus at this point in time is indeed Mexico, because there are too many forces in this country, but at this time, China in the East, which is still in a dominant position of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has a big and small thing in its court, which happened in the Forbidden City......

In the Forbidden City, it is naturally extraordinary, and above the main hall, it is naturally rigorous and graceful.

However, in the current court, it is very special, because there is an extra curtain, yes, the Manchu regime at this time is in this state of hanging curtains in the two palaces.

There is no way, the little emperor Tongzhi is too young, so he can only let the queen of the two palaces listen to the government. But don't forget. Except for the two of them. There is also an important person, that is, the current Yizheng King, the devil six, Aixin Jueluo. Yi 60.

Today's incident is because there is a person who is not long-sighted, and he has participated in the king of the council!

"King Yizheng, take a look, our sisters have kept this book. I didn't show it to anyone, but you have to look at it, this book is about you. ”

At this time, it is no longer a formal court meeting, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the King of the Council can say something that only family members can say, after all, everyone is a relative, but when the Queen Mother Cixi took out a book, the atmosphere was a little wrong.

"Hey!" I just listened to the speaker Wang Yi 60 slap his thigh, "What should I be?" That's the kind of thing? Who wrote this? Cai Shouqi, this guy is not a thing! Two queen mothers. You don't know, the rumors of this kid outside are not ordinary. This guy doesn't do anything. Many ministers are dissatisfied......"

The king of parliament speaks...... It's so kind!

Yes, it's like a brother-in-law in an ordinary family, chatting with two sisters-in-law. However, everyone knows this, this is the Imperial Palace, and this is not an ordinary family.

But then, then again, the relationship between the three of them is really the relationship between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law, which is true. However, the rights held by these three people now are not ordinary.

These are the three people who hold the highest power in the Manchu political situation!

Isn't it a bit too much for them to talk like that?

"My sister and I listened to what the king said." The Empress didn't think anything.

If you want to talk about Cixi at this time, it is really a ...... I can't say how beautiful it is, but it's okay in the palace, and this Chinese New Year's Eve, although my husband died, this person does have such a style when he reaches thirty.

Of course, if Li Mengyang saw the current Cixi, then he would be somewhat emotional, at least stronger than the Cixi he saw from historical materials, because the historical Cixi, as far as those black and white photos left, were all when she was older, and that mouth, the corners of the mouth drooped, and the end was not good-looking, but now people still have the appearance.

So, does Cixi really have something to do with Devil Six?

Well, it's a rumor, it's a rumor, and I really can't see it now, but ......

"Queen Mother, you just believe me, who am I? I am the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang, and I am the younger brother of the first emperor. My loyalty to our Qing Dynasty is absolutely reliable, and it can be seen every day! ”

Wang Yi 60 This is gushing, patting his chest at the two queen mothers, which seems to have a good effect.

"Okay, of course my sister and I believe you, so it seems that Cai Shouqi bastard, and he will definitely not let him go......"

Cixi's words are good, and the king of the council is at ease.

Now that he is relieved, he has said so much just now, and the spirit of the king is a little relaxed, and now he is thirsty and wants to drink water.

"The two queen mothers, my cup is dry, and I want to beg for water."

Uncle and sister-in-law's family, what do you have to drink saliva?

"What's this......" the Cixi immediately spoke, "come, give the ...... to the king"

But before Cixi finished speaking, the council king over there couldn't wait.

"I said two sisters, I'll just drink it from this cup, don't bother......"

I saw that the king of the council took a few steps and walked to the front of the queen mother of the two palaces, there was a chair in front of it, which was originally the emperor sitting, but now because the emperor is too small, he is not needed to come forward on this occasion, but there must be something, the throne, the tea bowl, everything is ready, so the king of the council holds this tea bowl......

Knock knock knock...... This is really enjoyable!

"......" The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces looked stupid!

Can you not be stupid, that is the emperor's cup, the color is different, you are a little uncle, a council king, now use the emperor's cup to drink water, what are you going to do?

"Oops~" And this poured a stomach of water, and the Yi 60 also reacted, this is not right!

Yi 60 is not a person who has no city government, in fact, in the political circle, he is much stronger than the queen mother of the two palaces, he is the first person in the current Manchu political situation, and he is the one who escorts this Manchu ship to sail forward!

However, I was really used to it before, and I really regarded the Imperial Palace Ouchi as his home, so he always talked about me.

However, now that this thing has happened, what can I do?

"That's all for today. That Cai Shouqi is not a good person anyway. The minister retired ......"

That's it!

Yi 60 won't explain?

He couldn't explain. The more he explained, the more he couldn't explain, the more he couldn't explain, so he would simply treat it as if it hadn't happened. Besides, as the king of the council, in the political situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his status is very high, and it is enough to confront the queen mother of the two palaces!

Therefore, he must not bow his head. Because as long as he bows his head, then on the balance of politics, he will be weaker.

However, what do the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces think now?

"Sister, this ......"

"How can it be like this! This councillor is too unspeakable! ”

Cixi and Ci'an are really the same enemy now......

This matter was heard by a powerful figure at that time, a person named Xu Gengshen. This person's official position is very powerful, his official position is the military machine Zhang Jing, and it was when he was the emperor. has already held this position, and he also has an uncle named Xu Naip. This person also served in the military aircraft.

It should be said that both relatives are in the military, which is extremely rare in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it can even be said that there is no second one except for this pair of uncles and nephews. And this story is very interesting, their uncle and nephew wrote it down and passed it on to their descendants......

So, what did Cixi and Ci'an do at that time?

In other words, there are many rumors that Cixi and Ci'an have contradictions, as far as Li Mengyang has seen, there are all in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", but now it seems that the relationship between the two queen mothers is good.

If Li Mengyang could see the scene just now, then he could even judge that Cixi and Ci'an, in fact, are completely a pair of comrades-in-arms in politics, and they are simply a community of interests, and the contradiction between them must not be big.

Because there is a strong enemy outside, it is the Yizheng Wang Yi 60!

That night, Cixi was also really powerful, she was a Manchu woman with little culture, in fact, she could be called an old lady when she was thirty years old, an uneducated old lady of the Qing Dynasty, she was stunned and wrote an edict by herself!

This edict is to denounce the king of parliament, and to remove all the positions of the king of parliament!

Willie of this edict aside, many people don't actually know the significance of this edict.

Cixi has no culture, she really didn't, she saw some twists and turns when she followed Xianfeng later, but it was precisely because of this that Xianfeng made the original arrangement, that is, to let the empress dowager of the two palaces palm print!

Xianfeng made a posthumous photo before he died, that is, the well-known Eight Ministers of Gu Ming, but in fact, there are arrangements for the two palaces, that is, the palm prints of the two palaces, Ci'an holds the 'Imperial Reward' seal, which is printed at the beginning of an edict, and the Cixi chapter is the 'Tongdaotang' seal, at the end of the edict.

To put it bluntly, it is the queen mother of these two palaces, which is equivalent to the 'mayor' of later generations, who is in charge of sealing, because the two of them, the two old ladies, have no culture, and they can understand a little bit of the twists and turns, and the two of them are not able to draft any documents, so the seal is given to them, and they are at most stamped, Xianfeng's arrangement is really very safe, and it is not allowed to let women interfere in politics.

That is to say, after Xianfeng's death, the eight ministers of Gu Ming were the highest power in the Qing court at that time, they were powerful figures, and the queen mother of the two palaces, in fact, the news was not good, the two of them were in the deep palace, so what news could they get?

But now, you must know that after that incident, the curtains of these two palaces have been lowered, that is to say, these two old ladies have come out of the deep palace, and they can already receive valuable information, instead of being fiddled with by foreign ministers, that is to say, the 'mayor' can now access the Internet, and those 'secretaries' can't fool around.

And now, it's different, because one of the two houses can already write an edict!

The so-called, hooligans know martial arts, and no one can stop them......

Therefore, this edict may be written in a mess, or it may be written that no one else can understand, and the grammar is incomprehensible, and this rotten cannot be overstated.

However, such a small matter, a messy edict, was actually an extremely important turning point in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and from then on, Cixi really stepped onto the political stage of history!

Now, what can the king do? (To be continued......)
