An Dehai hurriedly led the palace maids and eunuchs to kneel down neatly and shouted, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother!" ”

Cixi laughed tears in the corners of her eyes, and her whole body was soaked with great joy like hot water, although it was extremely comfortable, but she didn't feel lazy at all, her whole body was full of high morale, Cixi raised her eyebrows, it was already more than four o'clock at this time, Tianma was bright, "Send someone to find Zhang Jing, the military machine on duty, and tell the sixth master that there is news from Jiangning!" ”

So he instructed the palace people to dress up and prepare to discuss with the military planes in the Yangxin Palace, so that the crown could be made, and Yang Qingxi came in to report, "The Empress Dowager of Zhongcui Palace is here." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cixi put down the Persian tribute Luo Zidai in her hand, slightly surprised, why did she come here? Oh, I must have known the good news of Jiang Ning Kefu, "Please come in." ”

Ci'an entered the East Warm Pavilion of Chuxiu Palace, and saluted to the Empress Dowager Cixi who was sitting on the dresser, "Sister, sister, congratulations to sister!" ”

"Sister, hurry up," Cixi waved her hand, pulled Ci'an up, and sat on the kang with Ci'an hand in hand, "Serve tea," after instructing Yang Qingxi, she smiled at Ci'an: "Why did my sister come over at this time?" ”

"I heard good news from Jiang Ning, and I came to congratulate my sister." The Empress Dowager Ci'an said respectfully, at this time, Cixi was still wearing a good court dress, although it was a navy blue dragon robe and coat, but the hat was bright red and the morning pearl was bright.

"Yes, after all these years, I finally looked forward to it, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, and the soldiers used their lives," the Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes were bright and bright, "The reversal is just around the corner!" ”

This is a great joy that should be happy, but the Empress Dowager Ci'an sighed deeply and suddenly became sad. But he refused to let the tears flow, only holding an embroidered silk handkerchief, and kept rubbing his eyes and nose. This move put the eunuchs who were waiting. He was surprised, but no one dared to inquire. Those who stand farther away will whisper that Jiang Ning's performance is not a good thing, otherwise. Why is the "East" sad?

The Empress Dowager Cixi originally wanted to ask, but suddenly thought of something, so she didn't open her mouth anymore, but just sighed for a long time, she understood the reason why Ci'an was so sad, and it must have been from this good news that she thought of the first emperor. For eleven years, there is hardly a day when he is not in the midst of internal and external troubles. From illness to death, although it was caused by drowning in alcohol, but the kind of wake up in the middle of the night and get up to read the military newspapers of the provinces. Either the army here is defeated, or it is lost, and it is full of heart-palpitating news, and he is as anxious as a spark when he asks for money and money, and he really suffers such days.

"Alas! Wretched! The Empress Dowager Ci'an finally expressed her feelings, "How many years have I been looking forward to, and when the news arrives, others are gone!" ”

"yes. It can be said that they are two natural opponents," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, a few days ago, before the news of Hong Xiu's death came from Jiangning. It has been rumored in Beijing that Hong Xiuquan is the reincarnation of the plague god, and he went down to earth to go against Xianfengye, Xianfeng Emperor Bintian, Hong Xiuquan should also go with Xianfengye, "Sister, don't be too sad." Now it's time to tell the first emperor the good news, the palace is ready to let the seventh master go to the first emperor's spirit to say goodbye, you also go to the first hall to tell the ancestors and the ancestors, tell the first emperor, "The Empress Dowager Cixi's trace of sadness disappeared immediately, but it was replaced by a kind of heavenly posture that looked down on the heroes, looked forward to life, and gave up who else was," so that the first emperor would know that we didn't mess up this errand! ”

Ci'an nodded, looked at Cixi with teary eyes, nodded, and stood up, "Yes, I know, I'll go to Fengxian Palace." The two queen mothers walked out of Chuxiu Palace hand in hand, and the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Ci'an, "Over the years, you Ama has been on an errand in Ningbo Mansion for a long time, and your achievements are very outstanding. ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was very grateful and helped Cixi to get on the sedan chair, "It's all up to my sister." ”

"Let's wait for good news in a few days." The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, An Dehai took the eunuch and the palace maid to the south, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at the group of people who were far away in front of the Chuxiu Gate, stood for a moment, and turned back to Zhongcui Palace.

The ministers of the military aircraft of the whole class, King Gong, Wen Xiang, Bao Jun, Li Tangjie, and Cao Yuying have long been on standby at the military aircraft, although the good news is good, but I have not seen the original music, I don't know the details, is the inner city broken? Although Hong Xiuquan committed suicide by poisoning in early March, has his son, Hong Fuyu, who was "supported to succeed to the throne", ever captured? Especially the pseudo "loyal king" Li Xiucheng, this person is eloquent and strategic, and he is invincible, if he slips through the net, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not be completely destroyed.

Everyone was talking like this, and Bao Jun suddenly remembered something, "It's time to hand over Ruyi today, right?" ”

"Ahh That's forgotten. King Gong said, "Hurry up and send someone to do it." ”

This has been the rule for many years, whenever there is a great celebration in the country, the ministers must hand Ruyi to the emperor as usual, like today, Ruyi is indispensable.

At this time, the "Sula" of the Military Aircraft Department came to report: The Queen Mother has come to the Imperial Palace of Cultivation and Hearts, and the decree will be sent to see you immediately. Time is in a hurry, even if there is a ready-made Ruyi in the house like King Gong, it is too late to take it, so I have to give up.

Although Ruyi is not delivered, the words of praise are indispensable, so when he arrives at the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Palace, King Gong first congratulates. The Queen Mother naturally also had some words of condolence, and then sent the original music down. Above the palace, it is inconvenient to pass on the view, and Bao Jun read it aloud, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace, the guards and eunuchs outside the palace all smiled and listened quietly.

On the 15th, Li Chendian was completed, and at noon on the 16th, he became angry, rushed away more than 20 zhang, and when Zhu Hongzhang, Liu Lianjie, Wu Weishou, Zhang Shiri, Xiong Dengwu, Chen Shouwu, Xiao Fusi, Peng Yucheng, and Xiao Qingyan led the major teams to rush into the city from the mouth. Thousands of thieves died to protect their mouths, lined up tens of thousands of people, and sacrificed their lives to resist. After Zhu Hongzhang and Liu Lianjie, they shouted and killed from the middle road, desperate for themselves, and fought for three hours, and the thieves were ...... rout. ”

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi did not understand the topography of Jiangning, Cao Yuying, who was from Jiangyin, made a "lecture". He pointed out to Chen for the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the so-called "outer city" in Zeng Guoquan's fold was the capital built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The original thirteen city gates, the dynasty closed the fourth, leaving Zhengyang, Tongji, Jubao, Sanshan, Shicheng, Yifeng, Shence, Taiping, Chaoyang and other nine gates, with gunpowder to open the mouth, is in the Taiping Gate, just the southeast of Xuanwu Lake. Further east, it is Zhongshan, where the Hongjun built two stone fortresses, called "Tianbao City" and "Dibao City". In February of this year, Zeng Guoquan captured the "Tianbao City", and the encirclement of Jiangning has been completed, and if the "Dibao City" was captured again in March, Jiangning's recovery would only be sooner or later.
