"I don't believe it," the Empress Dowager Cixi opened her eyes, looking at the white jade Guanyin holding the jade bottle and willow branches pursed her lips and smiled mysteriously at herself, "If the Buddha can believe it, there will be so many unsatisfactory things in the world?" Instead of believing in Buddhism, it is better to believe in yourself, the proverb says that someone goes to the Guanyin Temple to seek Buddha, but I didn't expect to see a woman who is exactly the same as Guanyin is also worshipping the Buddha, he asked, are you Guanyin? Guanyin said that I am, and he asked, "How do you worship yourself?" Guanyin said, it is better to ask for others than for yourself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"It's better to ask for others than for yourself?" Empress Dowager Ci'an muttered to herself, "My sister's words have always been so Zen-rich. ”
The two of them seemed to talk as before, when they were in the harem before, they were calm and calm, "Although I canonized the White Lotus Sect, and I greatly respected the Living Buddha, but this is just a means of governing the country, as long as they are dedicated to the country, don't engage in separatism, or rebellion, I can tolerate them, if the world believes in Guanyin, then I pretend to believe in Guanyin, what can I do?" As long as I know in my heart what I want to do, I can go wherever I want. ”
"What the hell does my sister want to do?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an raised her head, her expression was calm, slightly puzzled, she was by no means a beauty, but she always had a beautiful temperament, in terms of background, she was far higher than Cixi, Niu Hulu was one of the eight surnames in Manchuria, and her father Cezanne was a Taoist very early, far from being comparable to the background of such a small family as Huizheng, so in the past, the Empress Dowager Ci'an's demeanor was still very good, and Emperor Xianfeng did not think of canonizing her as the queen in the past. "I haven't always understood, our harem women, with the emperor's favor, become the queen, and then become the queen mother, and have their own son to be the emperor, it is the first and most proud thing for women in the world, but you don't seem to look down on these, what jewelry, clothes, wealth and nobility, even the leader of the six palaces don't like it, all the brains are given to me, you seem to like the most is to deal with things outside, what are you going to do? I'm very strange, is it really like what outsiders say, after learning martial arts, I can't be the emperor myself? ”
Cixi was not in a hurry to explain, and said quietly, "In this world, there is no one who can understand me, what you said is very true, a harem woman, thanks to the grace of the saint, canonized as the queen, gave birth to a new emperor, this is the best life in the world, why ask for hardship and do something unpopular?" ”
"Offended the foreigners first, and defeated them; Later, he offended Su Shun, seized the power of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and then set up foreign affairs, offending Qingliu; Now I have offended my clan relatives again, and I have removed four iron hats and kings, so that the enemies are all over the world, I don't seem to have peace of mind and happiness, but just blindly offend people," the Empress Dowager Cixi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I, who was supposed to be a motherly empress dowager, is really a failure." ”
Empress Dowager Cixi paused, Ci'an just listened quietly and carefully, "There is not much difference between me and you at all, in the harem of Emperor Wenzong in the past, in terms of generosity, it is not as good as you; In terms of beauty, there is naturally Concubine Li in it; On Yingwu, and Concubine Yun, why can I become the queen and approve the excerpts on behalf of the emperor, and Emperor Wenzong dares to believe me and give me the chapter of the same way, similar to the power of the emperor in person? It's just because my mind is not in the harem to fight and compete for favor here. I've never been jealous of Concubine Li, or what kind of Yuanmingyuan Sichun Niangniang competes for favor. ”
Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent, "That's because you don't love the first emperor," she sighed, "No woman would like her husband to put his mind on other women." ”
"You're wrong, I didn't love the first emperor, it's just that for me, the love between men and women is really insignificant, what I need more is something else, I need to change this country," Empress Dowager Cixi got up, pinched three incense sticks with her bare hands, lit them on the white candle, sandalwood rose, and the moonlight in the hall was like water, adding a trace of clouds, "I have to admit that Emperor Wenzong and I are more like superiors and subordinates, a woman of his, his empress, a courtier he will never betray." The Empress Dowager Cixi put the incense in the Xuande furnace, raised her head and looked at the somewhat vague Guanyin Buddha statue, "Look, how beautiful this Guanyin smiles." ”
"So I gave you the position of the queen mother, because I don't care about the name, the queen mother of the two palaces is the queen mother of the two palaces, don't worry," the Empress Dowager Cixi turned around and looked at Ci'an with her back light, "I gave you the right to manage the six palaces, because I don't want to waste my time on trivial matters between these women, Emperor Yingzong likes you, so I will entrust you with his daily life, even if you save some careful thoughts and arrange your own people around the emperor, I don't see it, After all, at that time, I thought that you really loved Emperor Yingzong, it was nothing more than a woman, someone could serve my son well, why should I be unhappy? ”
"It's just that I thought about it again, and I didn't expect it," the Empress Dowager Cixi's voice was low, "I didn't expect you to collude with other people to knock out Emperor Yingzong's dragon son, do you know it, that is Emperor Yingzong's only son, Ying Guifei gave birth to a princess, Emperor Yingzong is no heir, even if the heir emperor ascends the throne, it is not Emperor Yingzong's bloodline, although I don't care about anything, but what I care about most is the bloodline between me and Emperor Wenzong, the male bloodline, just cut off!" ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand and slapped Ci'an, Ci'an was slapped to the ground, and Xiao Xiazi, who was originally guarding outside, hurriedly came in to take a look, "You say!" I'm here today, and I just want to ask why! Why are you doing this, I have never beaten any palace people, nor have I beaten any concubines, I can't help but do it today, you tell me, why! ”
Empress Dowager Ci'an shriveled to the ground and laughed softly, "Yes, you have everything, with the favor of Emperor Wenzong, the dignity of the queen, the respect of the previous dynasty and the support of foreign ministers, as well as the praise of the subjects, and Emperor Yingzong, but I have nothing, everything is your charity, sister, isn't it?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an straightened up and sat cross-legged on the ground, "Everything I have is given by you, this is what I hate the most." ”
"Although I am the queen mother, what kind of queen mother am I? The Queen Mother? Am I not the Empress of the First Emperor, the Queen Mother? I'm not the emperor's biological mother, what kind of queen mother am I? The Empress Dowager Ci'an said slowly, "Isn't this Empress Dowager just my sister, you pity me, so she gave it to me?" She laughed suddenly, "But I'm fighting for it myself." (To be continued.) )
