The July meeting was held as normal, but the ministers were apprehensive. Although what happened in the Forbidden City last night was very secretive, these ministers had their own channels and obviously knew a little bit about it.

It was time for the court meeting to begin, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had all stood in place in order, but the dragon chair on the Jinluan Hall was still empty. Emperor Guangxu is still nowhere to be seen. The faces of the ministers in the court began to change. Those who supported the Empress Dowager Cixi were beaming one by one. After Emperor Guangxu came to power, they were all suppressed and had a very sad life. Now, the Empress Dowager Cixi is finally about to take power again, and they all seem to have reached the opportunity to soar. And the ministers of the imperial party all looked sad, as if their father had died. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Emperor Guangxu is not dead, it is obvious that their future has been overshadowed.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Lianying took the lead in walking out, and after glancing at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, she sang in his shrill voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

"The ministers (minions) greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The Manchu civil and military forces immediately knelt down and saluted. Although the ministers of the imperial party were very reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice now. Emperor Guangxu disappeared, but the Empress Dowager Cixi appeared. This shows that the Empress Dowager Cixi has already controlled the situation. Emperor Guangxu is obviously powerless.

The Empress Dowager Cixi, dressed in full costume, appeared on the Jinluan Palace, and she walked to the edge of the dragon chair. Everyone held their breath and quietly watched the Empress Dowager Cixi's actions. Many people are even wondering, will the Empress Dowager Cixi sit on the dragon chair because of this? You know, no one can stop her now. If she wanted to, maybe she could really be the second empress in Chinese history.

However, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not sit down in the end, but beckoned, and Li Lianying immediately set up a chair on the side of the dragon chair. After the Empress Dowager Cixi sat on the chair, she was accompanied by the civil and military ministers below.

In the end, the Empress Dowager Cixi still did not sit on the dragon chair. Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief. If the Empress Dowager Cixi really wants to be emperor, then what should they do? It is risking his life to stop it, in exchange for the eternal future. Or endure humiliation and bear the burden, and live in secret? It is indeed a very difficult choice. Now the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't do that, which suddenly made them no longer have to be embarrassed.

"The emperor is seriously ill and can no longer serve as a director. In order to allow the emperor to recuperate with peace of mind. So the emperor temporarily moved to Yingtai. However, no one can decide the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and the mourning family has no choice but to shoulder this heavy responsibility again. Is there any opposition from the Qing family? Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"Since the emperor is seriously ill, the queen mother is in charge of the government. That's the perfect fit! Prince Li Shiduo jumped out first.

"Now the Qing Dynasty is facing a crisis of Yan zhòng, and only the Queen Mother can save the Qing Dynasty from danger!" Prince Su Shanqi also immediately came out and said.

For a time, the ministers of the Hou Party came out one after another, shouting that the current situation had to be done by the Empress Dowager Cixi, as if the Empress Dowager Cixi was not in charge of the government, and the entire Qing Dynasty was about to end.

Those in the imperial party had no choice but to remain silent. Even the emperor is the same. Now anyone with a discerning eye can figure it out. Guangxu is finished. What immigrated to Yingtai to recuperate, it was simply house arrest. Even if he can make a comeback in the future, I'm afraid it will have to wait until Cixi dies. Now jumping out and going against Cixi, isn't that looking for death?

"Since there is no objection, from today onwards, the major affairs of the DPRK and China will be decided. Wait until the emperor recovers from his illness. Mourning the family and returning the government to the emperor! The Empress Dowager Cixi still said expressionlessly. Actually, in her heart. To be able to regain the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty, she still has indescribable excitement. Although he can't be an emperor. But what is the difference between her and the emperor like this? The Empress Dowager Cixi enjoyed this feeling of being in power.

"Queen Mother Shengming!" The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty shouted one after another.

"Now, the most important thing is the Sichuan West Army outside the city! Let's talk about it, how can we resolve this crisis? Empress Dowager Cixi asked. There is no doubt that Daqing lost this battle, and she has now regretted it a little, she should not have supported Guangxu to launch this war in the first place. If she continued to fight, the Qing Dynasty would probably lose even more, so as soon as she returned to power, she wanted to end this war against the Manchus as soon as possible.

"Queen Mother! There is no doubt that now I, the Qing Dynasty, have lost this war. On the northern front, only tens of thousands of defenders remained in Xi'an. In the Hubei battlefield, the 400,000-strong army has been lost, and the western Sichuan army has occupied the entire territory of Hubei, and it seems that there is a trend of continuing to attack the Jiangnan region. On the battlefield of Yunnan and Guizhou, there are also few of the 200,000 troops left, and Wang Wenshao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, has retreated to Guangxi. However, the western Sichuan army is also eyeing the tiger, once they launch an attack, Guangxi will inevitably fall! The strictest zhòng is the lone army of western Sichuan. Although they do not have many troops, we, who have already suffered heavy losses, do not have the strength to encircle and suppress them. The slave implored the Queen Mother to issue an order to negotiate peace with western Sichuan and end this war! Prince Su Shanqi said first. In this battle, the Qing army lost almost a million troops, and the whole country had already lost all its troops, and there was no capital to continue fighting.

"Prince Su's words are wrong! I am in the Qing Dynasty, how can I admit defeat to the bandits in western Sichuan? The western Sichuan army outside the city of Beijing is only one or two hundred thousand people, and as long as I mobilize the army in the Qing Dynasty, I can naturally exterminate it. When the time comes, with the strength of the whole country, we will be able to regather a million troops and fight again against the bandits in western Sichuan! An old scholar with gray hair and beard jumped out and pointed at Prince Su and scolded.

"Master Li! I have no soldiers to fight in the Qing Dynasty now, how to fight the bandits in western Sichuan? Does Master Lee want to go to the battlefield himself? Prince Su replied coldly.

"That's it! What is the system of noisy and shouting? Xu Aiqing, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, do you think we can still fight this battle? Empress Dowager Cixi Fengyan was furious.

"Back to the Queen Mother! From now on, our Qing Dynasty has indeed lost this war, and it is the best policy to negotiate peace with western Sichuan as soon as possible, and the longer the time drags on, the greater our losses will only be. The rich areas of Jiangnan have always been an important source of finance and taxation for my Qing Dynasty, and if the bandits in western Sichuan occupy Jiangnan, it will be strict! Xu Geng said stiffly. If it weren't for Emperor Guangxu's strict order, he would not have supported this battle. Now, it's really a loss!

"In that case, let's end this war as soon as possible!" The Empress Dowager Cixi made a decision.

"Queen Mother, the Western Sichuan Army outside the city is constantly harassing and attacking every day, which has seriously affected the normal operation of the Beijing Division, and it is the most important thing to let the Western Sichuan bandits outside the city retreat first!" Prince Li Shiduo also built yì road.

"Hmmm! In this way, the mourning family honored Prince Shiduo as the minister of the Qin Mission, went to the military camp of the western Sichuan bandits, and negotiated peace with the western Sichuan bandits. Test their bottom line first, and then discuss! Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"Ahh The minions obeyed. Even if the slave gives up this old life, he will persuade the bandits in western Sichuan to retreat! Shi Duo immediately said sternly.

"Good! Passing on the will of the mourning family, Prince Shiduo is loyal to the country, and now he is reinstated as the Minister of Military Aircraft! Cixi was very satisfied.

"Slave Xie Empress Dowager Longen!" Prince Li was overjoyed. Isn't that why he's so busy? When he was dismissed by Emperor Guangxu, his palace of Prince Li, which was like a city, suddenly became crowded. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Guangxucai, and kept pushing Cixi out of the mountain to regain control of the situation. Now, Cixi finally put Guangxu under house arrest and regained the power of the court. As the first servant under Cixi, isn't he now back in power? Although he is only the Minister of Military Aircraft, not the previous Minister of Military Aircraft, Shi Duo believes that as long as he does this errand beautifully, it is no longer a dream to be promoted to the Minister of Military Aircraft Foreman!

"Is there anything else you have to tell the Qing family?" Cixi asked.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and the cadres of the Later Party were beaming, while the cadres of the Imperial Party were sad.

"Since it's okay, then, let's retreat!" Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!" The Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt on the ground again.

"Congratulations to Prince Li for re-entering the military aircraft department!" After Cixi left, many ministers of the Later Party immediately congratulated Prince Shiduo of Li.

"Hehe, rejoicing and rejoicing. Now that the Queen Mother is in control of the court, I am hopeful for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty! Shiduo laughed, unspeakably proud.

The ministers of the imperial party looked very difficult.

After the court meeting dispersed, Shi Duo immediately left the city and went to the military camp of the Western Sichuan Army with a few guards. Because the city gate had been blocked, they could only fall from the city wall with hanging baskets and then walk to the military camp of the Western Sichuan Army. After all, there is no way for a war horse to hang from the city wall.

In the barracks of the Western Sichuan Army, Wang Yuze was meditating on the model of the Beijing Division, and whether there was any way to break through the Beijing Division. With an army of 20,000 people, he came to Beijing to go around, and if he couldn't break through the Beijing division, he always had some regrets. However, in the absence of siege weapons, it is not easy to break through the Beijing Division!

"Young marshal, Prince Li of the Manchu Qing Dynasty asks to see you!" Wang Wei walked into the military tent and said.

"Oh? What is he here for? Wang Yuze frowned.

"It looks like the Manchu Qing Dynasty can't hold it! The new Praetorian Guard army was destroyed, and the other fronts also suffered heavy losses, and they no longer had the capital to fight anymore. I think this person named Prince Li should have come to admit defeat! Wang Wei said with a smile.
