9. The Righteous (1)

There seemed to be a hint of complaint in Prince Alcohol's words, but it was more of a low-key posture and a weak tone, "Xisheng Mingjian, the emperor is the second son of Emperor Wenzong, the younger brother of Emperor Yingzong, and the slave, and the slave has nothing to do with the minion."

"What you say is insincere, Seventh Master," the Empress Dowager Cixi did not ask Li Lianying to help Prince Alcohol up, but just put her elbows on the cushion and looked at the jewel armor on her hand, "The emperor was born to you and Wanzhen, you are his biological father, there is no doubt about this, although it has passed under the knee of Emperor Wenzong and me, but who is the biological father and mother, it is always wrong. ”

Prince Alcohol kowtowed again and again, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." ”

"Okay, the Seventh Master doesn't need to be like this," Empress Dowager Cixi can't see the groveling appearance of others, in her heart, the best courtier should be neither humble nor arrogant, but respectful and polite, Prince Alcohol is like this, "If you kowtow like this, knock blood, how do others think I treat you harshly, you yourself are the seventh son of Emperor Xuanzong, don't lose your identity!" ”

Prince Alcohol didn't sit down, just lowered his hands and listened to the instructions, "You have known me for so many years, you know that I am not a mean and unkind character, now the emperor is not a good student, all kinds of homework, to be honest, it is much better than Emperor Yingzong, I think about being busy for a few more years, and I will give it to him." ”

Prince Alcohol hurriedly answered, "The emperor is only a few years old, and he can take on the great cause of his ancestors there, and the Xisheng will listen to the government, and the government and the opposition are relieved, so please ask the Xisheng to work hard for a few more years for the sake of the ancestral foundation." ”

"It's not busy, it's just some big things, I can't find anyone to do it, think about it, and only your seventh master can take it."

"The slave is only sparse and shallow, he really can't take on the big responsibility, I can't take care of Emperor Xuanzong's Yuling, where can I still take on a heavy responsibility, the king has been taking care of the military machine, the queen mother told him to be, it's not that the slave blindly shirks, but I'm afraid of delaying the queen mother's big event." In the first year of Guangxu, the king of alcohol resigned from all his errands, leaving only one to take care of the fortifications of Yuling, the Empress Dowager Cixi repeatedly retained, and finally agreed, but the king of alcohol was promoted to the prince of alcohol, in the second year of Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the prince of alcohol to take care of the study of the Guangxu Emperor Yuqing Palace, and the prince of alcohol also shirked again and again, saying that he "suffered from liver disease and could not take on this heavy responsibility." "The Empress Dowager Cixi did not allow it, although Prince Alcohol took over the errand of Yuqing Palace, but he only entered the palace once a month, and only asked the master who taught in Yuqing Palace about everything, and rarely met with the emperor, and he was worried and ridiculed to such a point.

"This matter, hey, the sixth master is afraid of offending people and doesn't want to do it, so it's normal to blindly shirk it, but it's normal for me to show up and do it so drastically, so if you think about it, only you can do it." Because probably only you have the courage to do it. The Empress Dowager Cixi approached Prince Alcohol and looked directly at him, Prince Alcohol didn't dare to look at each other and just looked at the ground with his eyes, "Don't tell me, Emperor Xuanzong's seventh son, the King of Alcohol who dared to be angry and dare to act in the past, has become a bad old man in less than a few years!" ”

"You tell Hongu that you are not a bad old man!"

"I ...... I'm not," Prince Alcohol spat out the words with difficulty.

"Then why are you doing this?" The Empress Dowager Cixi said softly and quickly, "So willing to fall! ”

"West Sage!" Prince Alcohol snorted a little angrily, raised his head, saw the gaze of the Empress Dowager Cixi, his heart sank, and then lowered his head, "It's a slave who is useless," his voice was hard, and there didn't seem to be a trace of emotion, "Please Xisheng surrender." ”

"What's useless, you're just trying to avoid suspicion," the Empress Dowager Cixi sneered slightly, "You have a son to be the emperor, but you have put away your own ambitions, what's the matter, I'm afraid I'll be wary of you and calculating you?" Heaven is ruthless, in your place, it is incisive. You put the errand of the Shenji Battalion away, I agreed, after all, your identity is embarrassing, and the commander is not very suitable, I have no opinion, the people outside are eager to find some mistakes to come out, to separate our relationship, but you have also rested for so many years, and now you are in the seventh year of Guangxu, why, do you still want to be lazy? You don't avoid suspicion now, it seems as if you have been persecuted by me, Du Gate does not come out, the door does not cross, the second door does not step, you usually do not see guests, you don't do any personal contacts, even Wanzhen enters the palace less than before, what's wrong," Empress Dowager Cixi made a gloomy face, "I'm afraid I'll eat you?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare," Prince Alcohol didn't seem to be so worried when he saw the Queen Mother's anger, and his face looked much better, "just to avoid suspicion." ”

"What do you want to avoid, you don't want to think about it, relatives say, the emperor is my nephew and nephew, I only love him, but after all, I have to take care of the government, usually don't have so much effort to accompany him, I think you are pro-Ama, Wanzhen is his mother-in-law, to take care of others is always not at ease, or you always enter the palace to take care of it, in the past, when Ci'an was there, there were many turmoil, but you are this painstaking and inconsiderate, but hide far away, the first others think that I have taken away your father-son affection, the second, The world will also criticize Prince Alcohol for not taking care of his son's country! ”

Prince Alcohol knelt down again, "Please Xisheng don't say that the emperor is the son of a slave, and the slave can't afford it." ”

"Since I took responsibility, now that I have a matter of social concern, if I don't look for you, the seventh master, who am I looking for? Let me tell you, no matter what, the emperor is your son, if you don't help him, who will help him? You know about Eight Flags, right? ”

"The slave knows a little bit."

The Empress Dowager Cixi turned her head and prepared to walk out of the side hall, "This matter is related to the stability and development of our Qing Dynasty, if others do it, I am not at ease in the first place, and I am also afraid that they will be favoritism, if the matter is not done well, it is better not to do it." I thought, this is the emperor's country, and he will always be entrusted to him in the future, the emperor can't offend people, he wants to be a benevolent monarch, everything that offends people, let's do it for him in advance, and let him enjoy the happiness quietly when the time comes, isn't it the best? The matter of the Eight Banners will be entrusted to you to be fully responsible," the Empress Dowager Cixi crossed the kneeling Prince Alcohol, turned her head to look at him and continued, "The matter of the Eight Banners, you go to Chongqi, discuss everything with Wang Kaiyun and Gao Xinkui, if this matter is done, you can do whatever you want, but in the future, you will be the minister of the imperial palace first, usually on an errand, and you can see the emperor at any time, I can't see my son myself, and I can't let you not see your son."
