Chapter 125: Chief Cixi Xin's Curtain (2)

On November 2, 1861, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces summoned Prince Gong Yixin, Tirenge University Scholar Zhou Zupei, Dongge University Scholar Guiliang, and Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang to cry that the Su Party was arrogant, bullying the monarch, and deceiving the monarch.

Zhou Zupei said indignantly: Su is so stubborn and disappoints the emperor, why not kill him to set an example!

Cixi said: The eight ministers are the king of Zanxiang, the prince, and the minister of military aircraft, how can they be punished?

Zhou Zupei said: The queen mother first issued a decree to dismiss all positions in the party, and then asked.

Cixi Dao: Without further ado, Zaiyuan, Sushun, Duanhua and other ministers of Zanxiang will be relieved, and Jingshou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying and others will withdraw from the military aircraft department.

However, the edict has not been announced, and Zaiyuan, Duanhua, etc. have arrived.

Zaiyuan Chong Yixin said: Courtiers of the outer court, why trespass?

Yixin said: By the edict of the Queen Mother!

Zaiyuan said the queen mother of the two palaces: How to summon this person?

Cixi said: My emperor issued an edict, and Prince Gong Yixin was the king of the council. Donghou and the mourning family deeply feel that you are escorting the emperor's holy drive, quite able to fulfill their duties, today's major events have been completed, the name of the prison country, it is appropriate to open the vacancy.

Zaiyuan shouted: There is no such thing, the prison country is given by the Daxing Emperor's will, the two queen mothers have no right to go, the emperor Chongling, unless permission, no matter who the queen mother and whom, have no right to summon the ministers.

Cixi said: Er Nai is an edict to confuse the public! If you don't get rid of it, how can Huanyu clarify?

Wang Yixin immediately announced the edict: I gave an edict, because of the various subordinates of Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and other three people, I ordered Wang Yixin of the county to be ordered in the Rehe Palace to dismiss Zaiyuan and the other three. I hereby summon Prince Gong today, and bring the university scholars Guiliang, Zhou Zupei, and the Minister of Military Aircraft, Lang Wenxiang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Military Aircraft. Its unscrupulousness, what a bottom! The previous purpose is only to dismiss the office, but it is not enough to cover up the innocent. Prince Gong Yixin, Gui Liang, Zhou Zupei, and Wen Xiang immediately passed the decree, and Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Su Shunge were sent to the knighthood to be questioned, and handed over to the Zongren Mansion to discuss the crime in conjunction with the scholars, Jiuqing, Han, Zhan, Ke, and Daoyan. Chin this.

Zaiyuan re-drank: My generation has not entered, where did the edict come from? We serve as the ...... of the Great Emperor

Yi Xin said: Chaotic ministers and thieves, at the end of the road, are still so arrogant! Come on, take it quickly!

Yixin grabbed Zaiyuan and other seven ministers, and then announced the edict: Sent Prince Rui Renshou and Wang Yiyun of Alcohol County to ask Su Shun immediately, and sent appropriate personnel to escort him to Beijing, and handed over to the Zongren Mansion to listen to the crime. Chin this.

Su Shun was arrested, and angrily reprimanded Zaiyuan and Duanhua: Listen to my words earlier, there is no today! Repentance?

Zaiyuan also angrily said Duanhua Dao: My crimes are all Laiercheng!

Duanhua said: People are swords, I am fish and meat, what can the husband say!

Su Shundao: Regret not treating this early!

Su Shun was imprisoned, and Shao Zhan Xu Pengshou asked for help from the Three Traitors, and Shang Shu said: In July last year, Emperor Daxing sent a Zhu pen to order the ministers to meet whether it was feasible to patrol Xingrehe, and Chen Fuen had the words of stealing and fleeing to follow the seashore, which was intended to cater to Zaiyuan and so on. At that time, all the ministers of the meeting heard about it.

Emperor Daxing drove the guests, and among the ministers of the Manchu and Han dynasties, only Chen Fuen went to the line first, and it can be seen that the Shangshu was the confidant of Zaiyuan and others.

Huang Zonghan went to Rehe in the spring of this year, and was summoned by the emperor, that is, he blocked Huiluan with the power of dangerous words, and heard that the emperor had to return to Beijing in the palace. To the waiters Liu Yan, Cheng Qi, the servant Shaoqing Deke Jintai, and the alternate Jingtang Fuji, although there is no actual evidence of traffic with Zaiyuan, but they are still close to the past, or they are raised by Yi and other officials, or they recognize teachers and students, and everyone has seen and heard about it.

The sons of Qiying and Bai Ye also complained that their father was trapped by Su Shun, and asked Zhaoxue.

On the day of Su Shun's imprisonment, scholars Zhou Zupei and Jia Zhen, that is, Shen Zhaolin, the secretary of the household department, and Zhao Guang, the secretary of the criminal department, invited the queen mother of the two palaces to temporarily live in the false name of the curtain, and listen to the actual effect of the government, and personally manipulate the government to revitalize the discipline.

Su Shun has been arrested, the ministers are sparsely hung with curtains, and the queen mother of the two palaces can't help but be overjoyed.

On November 8, the two palaces sent another holy message: the sea was not quiet in the previous year, and the martial law in Beijing was always caused by the planning of the king and ministers in charge. Zaigaki and others could not make peace with all their hearts, and in vain they tempted the British envoys to restrain themselves, so that they lost their trust in the countries and the garden was disturbed. My emperor is taking the examination to patrol the Xingrehe, and the sacred heart has no choice but to suffer.

and the razing of the matter was quelled, and the three of Sushun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua, were treacherous and obstructed Huiluan, so that the Holy Communion violated the harmony and the dragon drove the guests.

The first emperor Bintian, the whole world is sad, and Su Shun and other false edicts of the first emperor usurped power and usurped power; The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager specially summoned Zaiyuan and other face-to-face edicts to follow, and they were unruly, roaring at the court, frightening the young master, vainly claiming that the Emperor Zanxiang could not listen to the orders of the Queen Mother, and it was superfluous to ask the Queen Mother to see the fold.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother swallowed their anger, and Su Shun became more and more violent, treating the throne as child's play, and sitting and playing; Entering the inner court is like entering one's own house, without scruples; Congratulations to Zi Palace, dare to bring their dependents privately, joy as usual, especially chilling.

All of the above are sins of great rebellion!

The laws of the Qing Dynasty, the great rebellion but the conspirators, regardless of the head and subordinate, were all executed by Ling Chi. However, I couldn't bear it, and Su Shun Jiaen changed it to a decisive decision. Zaiyuan and Duanhua are both princes of the clan, and the national inspection has a rule for discussing relatives and nobles, which can be slightly reduced as appropriate. Therefore, in the midst of nothing to borrow, it will not abandon the market. Zaiyuan and Duanhua both committed suicide with a gift order.

Jing Shou, as a relative of the emperor, was silent; Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying, Yu Zaiyuan, and others stole political authority and could not fight for it, all of which were dereliction of duty by Gu En, and should be sent to Xinjiang to serve as atonement according to the law. However, if you think of the three traitors and fierce flames, they are all difficult and competitive, and they are still forgivable.

Mu Yin, the secretary of the military department, was immediately dismissed, and Jia En was sent to the military platform to atone for his sins; Jing Shou, the former minister of the Imperial Palace, Kuang Yuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Du Han, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiao Youying, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, were all dismissed immediately and dismissed from their posts.

In addition, on this day, according to the regimes of Jia Zhen, Zhou Zupei, Shen Zhaolin, and Zhao Guangzuo, the Empress Dowager summoned the courtiers to the courtiers, etiquette and all regulations, and according to Shengbao, the Empress Dowager was asked to personally manage the major affairs and the auxiliary government of the close branch of the prince was also briefed. The kings, ministers, scholars, six departments, nine kings, Han, Zhan, Ke, and Dao will consider how to consider the past and the present, and compromise the place to decide, that is, to properly discuss and hear. Chin this.

The ministers received the order and immediately gathered together to discuss the curtain and auxiliary government matters.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know where to start.

Yixin said: The three departments of soldiers, households, and punishments, Jia, Zhou, Shen, and Zhao are the four people, and you and others are the first to play, and you are the first to discuss.

Zhou Zupei and Jia Zhen both said: The prince is the king of my emperor's order, and I respectfully ask the prince to open his mouth first.

Yixin said: I have been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and there is no such precedent; It is difficult to determine the past and the present, and make a compromise agreement!

The king of the council sets the tone, and the ministers are difficult to open.

The people talked about it for three days, but there was no conclusion.

The Empress Dowager Cixi did not hesitate to give in, and personally issued an edict saying: I follow the decree of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the Virgin, and now all government affairs are personally adjudicated by the Empress Dowager of the two palaces, and the edict is ordered to be complied with by the King of Parliament and the Minister of Military Aircraft, but the draft decree should still be declared at home and abroad as a decree. Since Yi Qin obeyed the Ci Xun, and then the king of the government and the minister of military aircraft drafted the edict, and the book was still written. This encyclical is known to both the world and the rest of the world. Chin this.

Gui Liang observed, sighed, and said privately: The West Queen is the second Sushun.

Yixin Road: The east is better than virtue, the west is better than Cai, and the west is Ciming, which can be controlled.

Gui Liangdao: You are not worthy of virtue, beware of coming from behind. When we discuss matters relating to the hanging of the curtain and auxiliary government, can we use the auxiliary government to change the position of the government? A dominant family, usurping power without authority, in vain?

Yixin said: It's a big matter, it's a big matter!

Gui Liangdao: If you have any auxiliary intentions, I can privately call Wenxiang, Zhou Zupei, Jia Zhen, etc.

Yi Xin said: Absolutely not, this word will come out, and the two palaces will know; One wave is flat, and there is no need for another wave. Tomorrow I will listen to the opinions of the ministers.

The ministers deliberated for seven more days, but there was no conclusion.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, and issued another edict saying: The internal and external affairs of the two palaces depend on the ruling of the Empress Dowager of the two palaces, and I will again send an edict to the cabinet to be sure to follow the Empress Dowager's decree and compile the politics and deeds of the emperors of the past dynasties.

Gui Liang saw the message, and then said Yixin: The matter has come to this, what do you think?

Yixin said: Neither of the two edicts mentions the matter of auxiliary government, and this government is not auxiliary! More than ten years later, my emperor will have a weak crown, and then I will look at the two palaces.

Gui Liangdao: The world is like a new chess game, and human feelings are like thin paper. You only care about people's feelings, don't think about the world, it's commendable!

Prince Gong Yixin loosened his mouth, and the curtain was set.

On November 28, 1861, Prince Gong Yixin and Prince Shuoli Shiduo, 202 princes, ministers, scholars, Liubu, Jiuqing, Han, Zhan, Ke, Dao and other dignitaries respectfully invited Ci'an and Cixi to listen to the government.
