You must know that idlers can not enter the royal garden, and there is no one who can enjoy visiting Changchun Garden, Qichun Garden, all those who enter the garden as an errand are in a hurry, and leave in a hurry, there is no time at all, or you can wander around, from ancient times to the present, there is no emperor willing to open up his garden for people outside to play, the Jingyi Garden of Xiangshan in the past was transformed into a martyr's shrine, where the big guys often visit, this is already something that Sijiu City can boast of. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The onlookers outside successively issued a tone of surprise and admiration and annoyance, the soldiers of the new army are the heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and it is naturally no problem to enter the garden, but it is a pity, why don't we people have the luck to enter the garden to take a look? This is really angry and jealous!

The voices of these people seemed to be heard by the official of the Ministry of Rites, he smiled slyly, and took out another volume of documents, "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, the longevity festival, the great victory is also a festival, this great victory, in addition to the soldiers' lives, and the active support of the subjects is inseparable, therefore, the decree ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to open the Changchun Garden, Qichun Garden, Changchun Garden, Jingming Garden, Qingyi Garden from the fourth to the nineteenth day of October, for the people to visit." ”

What a blessing! The big guy couldn't sit still all of a sudden, I didn't expect that today's imperial court, today's queen mother, would actually open the garden to her subjects, this, really, the big guy was shocked and didn't know where to start.

For a while, the venue was silent, but this silence was maintained for a while, and the huge noise suddenly sounded, and the big guys applauded, applause was like thunder, and they waved the colorful flags in their hands, "Long live!" Banzai! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

The soldiers of the new army returned north one after another, and the officials who went south to organize the battle also went north, ready to be rewarded, at this time there were rumors outside, saying that there were everything, but no one paid attention to many sour words, so many people were very satisfied with the results of the Sino-French war, and there were naturally many frustrated people, such as Britain, who expressed their opposition to the transfer of shares in the Suez Canal, but the two countries have agreed, so naturally there is no way to oppose the treaty that will enter into force soon. and Prince Gong's party, who stepped down because of the Bac Ninh fiasco, were of course a little disappointed.

Don't care about him, at the beginning of October, Prince Li made an excerpt, explaining that he was only a shallow learner, and he was not the minister of the military aircraft foreman, and he was willing to abdicate to make way for Xian, and recommended Zuo Zongtang to join the military aircraft as the foreman minister, and he retired to the second seat. The Empress Dowager Cixi was very surprised, and repeatedly retained, but Prince Li insisted on refusing, so the Empress Dowager issued an edict and ordered Zuo Zongtang to be the minister of the military aircraft foreman, so within a few decades, the first Han military aircraft chief assistant appeared.

Time flies very quickly, not long, it came to the ninth day of the first month of October, on the morning of this day, the Empress Dowager Cixi first went to the martyrs' shrine in Xiangshan to offer incense, and the soldiers and officials who died in the Vietnam war entered the shrine, and the Empress Dowager Cixi boarded the Daqing Gate at two o'clock in the afternoon, and paraded on the chessboard street, the momentum of the new army was like a rainbow, very majestic and majestic, showing force.

In the evening, it is time to give a banquet, the Empress Dowager Cixi cleaned up in Chuxiu Palace, changed into auspicious clothes, today's banquet is not in Chonghua Palace, where these harem concubines play, but selected in the first three halls of the Taihe Palace, this is the highest specification of the place, the original meaning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, it is placed in the Qianqing Palace, this is the place where the emperor gives the banquet every year, the rules or something, just right, but the Empress Dowager Cixi did not agree, her original words were: "The place is too small!" ”

So it was changed to the widest, most solemn Taihe Palace, today's auspicious clothes are red five dragon uniforms, the head is a color of gold jewelry, the golden phoenix on the head is about to fly, megatron the world, the pearl is offered, everything has been cleaned up, Li Lianying came to report, "Everything in the Taihe Hall has been prepared." ”

"In this weather, will it be too cold to eat outside?" The Empress Dowager Cixi put on gold armor and asked Li Lianying.

"Although the weather is colder, it is still autumn, and the imperial dining room has already been prepared, so use more pots, so that the big guy can't eat cold and suffer from the wind cold."

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "That's very good, what about the emperor?" Packed up. ”

"I've already set off from Yuqing Palace to meet the Buddha."

"You don't have to come to greet me, let him go straight to the Taihe Palace, today's banquet is different from the past, we can't both be late."

"Yes."

She stood up, Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Xiazi helped the Empress Dowager Cixi and walked out, and when they arrived in the atrium, the sedan chair was already waiting, and the Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to suddenly remember something, "Sixth prince, are you here?" ”

The eunuch who carried the sedan chair had already lifted the sedan chair, and when he heard the Empress Dowager Cixi's words, he hurriedly stopped, and the sedan chair stopped in mid-air without moving, and Li Lianying replied respectfully: "Prince Gong's mansion reported that the letter came over, saying that Prince Gong was not happy, so he would not come to the banquet." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked a little disappointed, and it seemed that she still refused to come, "It's just," Li Lianying added, "Grandpa Cheng'en said that he wanted to come to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday in person." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, looking a little lonely, "The people who should have come didn't come, but the people who shouldn't have come wanted to come, Guixiang, let him have a good life and recuperate, I said that he is not in good health, then he is not in good health, stay at home all the time, don't come out again." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi said this, what should the people below naturally do, Li Lianying responded, waved her hand, and the sedan chair walked towards the Taihe Hall quickly and steadily.

The sedan chair arrived at the middle right door, on the base of the white marble hall, the Empress Dowager Cixi saw that there were countless tables densely placed on the square of the Taihe Palace, and the table was wearing court clothes, or the uniform of the new army, and the black pressure was full of people.

After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager Cixi also arrived at the gate of the Taihe Palace, here below the Guangxu Emperor, all stood solemnly, and waited for the Empress Dowager Cixi to ascend to the throne and then worshipped, the same is true outside the hall, the sound shook the sky, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Get up." ”

"Up!" The eunuchs outside the hall shouted loudly, and all the ministers, officers, and soldiers stood up.

Empress Dowager Cixi looked around slowly, in the eyes of everyone, she saw submission, admiration, awe, fear, and disgust, but she didn't care at all, she sat in her position, raised her voice and spoke, Taihe Hall is the head of all halls, the widest, you need to increase the volume to be able to hear the whole hall, "Today's banquet, first congratulate the great victory, and then come to celebrate the birthday!"
