Walking on the road, the oncoming wind is like a heat wave, Cixi finally released Zai Xiang today, passing by the Qianqing Palace, she heard the voice of Zai Xiang in the early court, sonorous mixed in the wind across the ear, "I don't regret myself, life and death obey orders, I wish you to inspire the conscience, take care of the ancestral foundation, protect the new government, I have no regrets!" ”

In the face of the old courtiers who stood indifferent everywhere like terracotta warriors and horses, and only thought about abolishing the young emperor in front of him, who had acted in his own interests, these words were just playing the piano to the cow.

I feel sad and worthless in my heart.

I don't know what kind of mood Zai Yan on the Jinluan Palace is in when he sees all this.

Wrath?

Or is it helpless?

The surface of the pond in the Imperial Garden is very quiet, as quiet as a painting, the green pigment is spread out in large areas, the rays of sunlight gently blow the water, the color is so warm, occasionally a breeze blows, and the extraordinarily green and lush willow branches gently wander on the water surface, and the soft ripples of the stars flicker back and forth.

I don't know what's going on, but when I saw this scene, I was inexplicably moved by the tip of my heart.

When I went to Ningshou Palace last night, Zai Yan was being reprimanded by Cixi, I calmly stepped in, and when I looked at it, I saw Rong'er standing on one side frowning, desperately glaring at me, but I couldn't see it.

I stepped forward and saluted, "Long Hale Lafayette." ”

Cixi ignored it, still staring at Zai Yan and said, "Doesn't the emperor understand?" The so-called reform, the so-called law change, is simply nonsense! ”

Zai Yan laughed, "Whether it's nonsense or not, it's better for Lafayette to judge again in a hundred years!" ”

Li Lianying looked solemn on her face, glanced at me, and then leaned over slightly as if she whispered something in Cixi's ear.

Cixi turned her head sharply to Li Lianying and said angrily: "The mourning family knows! With you say?! ”

Li Lianying was reprimanded, so she straightened up and didn't say anything more.

Cixi turned around and said categorically to Zai Yan: "Lin Xu, Tan Si and the other six must be beheaded to show the public, otherwise they can't be angry!" There seemed to be no room for negotiation in his tone.

Zai Yan frowned, stared at Cixi and said, "Is it not possible to be angry with the people, or can it not calm the worries of Lafayette?" ”

Cixi didn't say anything for a moment, her eyes looked directly at Zai Yan as if she was going to kill him, and after a long time, Cixi said in a deep voice: "The emperor doesn't understand what the mourning family is talking about, but what is there to worry about in the mourning family, do you have to kill Lin Xu, Tan Si and the other six people?" ”

Zai Yan sneered: "Lafayette shouldn't ask me what he said, just look at the seal of the 'Tongdaotang' on the case, won't everything be clear?" Zai Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "When Emperor Wenzong set up the eight ministers of Gu Ming to jointly praise the government affairs of Xiang, why was he dismissed, questioned, and hunted down, Lafayette should know better than anyone else," and then smiled again, looked at Cixi with straight eyes, and said slowly, "Look! All the while, Galeries Lafayette's methods have always been so similar! ”

Cixi couldn't sit still because of Zaiyan's words, so angry that even the gold thread cuffs kept trembling, and the yellow candlelight emitted from the palace lamp on the table, shining on the slippery fabric, and the cuffs were even more shining.

I seized on the moment of silence and said loudly: "Lafayette should release the emperor immediately!" ”

Cixi turned to me with a faint look, raised her hand and pointed at me, frowning and asking, "What did you say?" ”

I said again: "Lafayette should release the emperor immediately!" ”

I saw Zai Yu looking at me worriedly, but he wanted to speak, but he still didn't want to speak.

Cixi was furious, stared at me and said, "Say it again!" ”

I took a deep breath and said boldly: "The emperor has issued an edict a few days ago to kill Lin Xu, Tan Si and six other people at the entrance of the vegetable market, if Lafayette is still detaining the emperor, I am afraid of Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, at that time, how can Lafayette block it?" ”

Cixi said loudly: "Then kill!" ”

I asked rhetorically, "Galeries Lafayette can kill six people today, can he kill a thousand or ten thousand people tomorrow?" ”

Cixi snorted lightly and said to me, "Are you threatening the mourning family by saying this? ”

I glanced up at Cixi, "The slave doesn't dare," and then bowed his head again, exhaled softly, and said calmly, "The slave just knows the truth that the people can carry the boat and can also overturn the boat, and only bet that Lafayette has been in power for many years, and he also understands the importance of people's hearts, so Lafayette must not ignore it." ”

Cixi said disdainfully: "If the mourning family was able to establish an emperor back then, it can abolish the emperor today!" ”

I also laughed and said: "The emperor is the emperor who Lafayette once single-handedly supported the throne, if Lafayette deposes the emperor today, who can immediately inherit the throne, and at this time, who dares to accept the throne of Lafayette?" ”

Cixi snorted coldly: "There are so many children of the clan, it is very easy to find a suitable royal descendant to inherit this emperor in the mourning family!" ”

I shook my head with a smile and said: "If the name is not right, the words are not good, the emperor is still there, does Lafayette want the new emperor to learn from the Ming Dynasty Sect and let the emperor retire as the emperor like Ming Yingzong?" And said: "But Ming Yingzong was trapped in Tumu Fort by the Wara army and captured for a year, considering that the country could not be without a king for a day, Ming Dynasty Zong ascended the throne, and later took back Ming Yingzong as the emperor to live in Nangong, just six years later, the change of seizing the door, Nangong was restored. And Lafayette now if you want to emulate I'm afraid it's not a wise move, the emperor is just in the Forbidden City, once Lafayette does this, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the people, the country can not be without a king for a day, let alone do what you want, if you have no choice but to do it is understandable, but if it is deliberate, no one is a fool, the Qing Dynasty is already turbulent, Lafayette should not make waves at this moment, besides, take 10,000 steps back, if the emperor is really the emperor, how should Lafayette deal with himself? ”

After speaking, Cixi squinted at me and remained silent for a long time.

I slowly raised my eyes, looked back at Cixi, and said in a deep voice: "Lafayette has got all the results he wants, he should understand the truth of not killing them all, after all, no one knows what the situation will be like in a hundred years, leaving a way for others to live is also a way back for himself," After speaking, I smiled lightly, and then asked her back, "Lafayette, is the slave right?" ”

Last night's picture always turned over and over in my mind, the whole person seemed to be a soul, unconsciously, I had already walked to the door of Chengqian Palace, stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, and it was Xiao Luzi next to Princess Rongshou who came out to open the door, and when she saw that I was busy, she saluted, "Why did Concubine Zhen come to Chengqian Palace this time?" ”

I asked, "Is Celestia there?" ”

Xiao Luzi led the way in, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is drawing patterns inside!" ”

As he spoke, Xiangyun came out of the main hall, drove to me, and asked with a smile, "Why is Niangniang here?" ”

I laughed, "What? Don't you want this palace to come? ”

Xiangyun raised her eyebrows, "What did Niangniang say!" It's too late for the slave to be happy! Before the words fell, Xiangyun looked behind him, then withdrew his gaze, and asked me again: "Why didn't Ying'er and Que'er follow?" ”

I took her hand and patted it gently, and whispered: "I came from this palace today, and I have something to say to your master." ”
