Crown Prince Edward left, and he didn't want to stay in such an awkward atmosphere any longer. The thin page of telegraph newspaper had been sitting on the desk for a long time, but no one dared to touch it.
The furious Er Mao was carried down to rest by the guards. Someone had notified the palace doctor early and was waiting outside the door.
At this moment, Emperor Tongzhi was completely stunned. He stood there blankly without saying a word and his eyes were dull. The eunuchs and guards around him looked at the emperor at a loss. They wanted to persuade but were unable to speak, and they did not dare to touch the emperor.
A group of guards tried their best to wink at Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi, but both of them were typical selfish eunuchs. The oil and salt they practiced in the dye vat in the Forbidden City did not enter, and when they saw that the atmosphere was not right, they did not dare to touch it. This bad guy.
No one can guess what His Majesty is thinking at this moment. What if His Majesty is disturbed and His Majesty gets angry and chops off his head? Only a fool would step forward to join in the fun at this moment!
Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi looked at each other, and both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes. In fact, the one who should come forward to persuade the emperor now is Er Mao.
Let that brat stand up to you better than anyone else! Let him test the emperor's anger, and it will be his head anyway.
It's a pity that Er Mao just fainted from fright, so this is difficult to handle. Without Er Mao as a scapegoat, who should be allowed to go up and test Tian Might?
At this time, the two of them had a clear understanding of each other, and they unanimously set their sights on Manshun. They walked to Manshun's side and whispered.
"Long live my lord, I haven't had dinner yet. We have to wait on you. It's up to you to keep an eye on this place..."
After saying that, without waiting for Manshun to agree, the two eunuchs turned around and went out. After they left the study, they realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
"Good boy! What should we do? Why is Xiao Letian dead?" Senior Xi said with lingering fear.
"Isn't it better to die? That traitor must die!" Xiaosi said angrily.
"You know what the heck, if Xiao Letian dies, who can control those lunatics? Don't forget, many Chinese troops are hairy remnants! As long as Xiao Letian is here, they can be more honest and restrained, and the head of state is not here God knows what trouble will happen!"
"What are you afraid of? No matter how fierce Chang Mao is, the Hunan Army will be defeated. What's the use of the remaining remnants?"
"Are you thinking all about tofu? Can these long-haired remnants be the same as in the past? These people are all new troops trained by Xiao Letian, and many of them are navy!"
"We in the Qing Dynasty don't have a navy! No matter how powerful the Hunan army is, how can they go to the sea to fight? It's such a troubled time, it's such a troubled time!"
"Although we all hate Xiao Letian, if we think about it carefully, Xiao Letian has really protected us from a lot of hardships when he is alive. Once he is gone, Long Live Lord will really have one less person to rely on..."
What Da Sixi said was not wrong at all. At this moment, Zai Chun was already in deep fear.
Zai Chun couldn't explain his mood at this moment. He wanted to cry but he didn't have tears yet. He wanted to laugh but was still sad. If it was because of the relationship between master and disciple, he really should have a good cry.
Subconsciously, he really regarded Xiao Letian as his father. Without Xiao Letian's help, he would never have been able to get out of the Forbidden City.
Without Xiao Letian, he would not have opened his eyes to see the world. He was able to learn so many things, and even the fact that he was able to reach many secret agreements with Britain was all thanks to Xiao Letian.
Without Xiao Letian liberating him from the Eight Banners prison, would he still want to study in Europe? Go ahead and dream!
More importantly, during these years of Chinese life, he felt a sense of freedom that was not available in Beijing, and Xiao Letian also filled the vacancy of his emotional father.
Thinking about Xiao Letian teaching him how to shoot a gun, breaking it apart and analyzing the international situation, scenes emerged in Zai Chun's heart, and every scene made him feel distressed.
But every time his nose was sore and his eyes were hot and he wanted to cry, there was another thought in his mind that he couldn't suppress. Xiao Letian's identity was naturally hostile to his. This was a gap that could not be resolved.
Xiao Letian took in the long-haired remnants and even hid Shi Dakai. Xiao Letian once conquered the city of Beijing and became the Supreme Emperor of Beijing for several months.
Xiao Letian's industrial zone and coinage rights were all snatched from the Qing Dynasty. These are all rebellious actions. This is what the courtiers said is disrespectful. This is to confiscate the family and destroy the family!
Every time he thought of this, Zai Chun's negative emotions would rage like an avalanche. The expression on his face was extremely ferocious, and he was about to fall into a state of hysteria.
Manshun and the other guards all sensed the strangeness of the emperor. They were so frightened that they trembled. All the guards reminded Manshun with their eyes, hoping that Manshun would go up and say a few words to resolve the emperor's emotions at the moment.
Now Zaichun is like a dam that is about to collapse. The water level inside is getting higher and higher and the pressure is getting higher and higher. If you don't release your emotions in advance, God knows what will happen after it collapses.
Man Shun's face turned green. He hated Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi in his heart, but there was nothing he could do to let them have a higher rank than him, and the other guards were not responsible for chatting with the emperor. There was no such thing in this study. Only I had to bite the bullet.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Please forgive me..." Manshun's voice trembled.
At this time, Emperor Tongzhi suddenly turned his head and stared at him sharply, "My condolences! Why should I express my condolences? It's not like you don't know how many disobedient things he has done. Death a hundred times is not enough to atone for his sins! What do I have to mourn for?" Festival?"
The voice is sharp, the eyes are red, and the expression is ferocious! Emperor Tongzhi followed him and shouted at Manshun like a demon.
Manshun's first kick hit the iron plate. He knelt on the ground with a thud. He stretched out his hand and slapped his own face. "Open your mouth, slave. I will open my mouth myself! I told you that you can't speak. I told you that you can't speak." Just look at things, you’re a freeloader!”
He scolded himself, and then slapped him hard. This was a life-or-death moment, and he didn't dare to hide his secrets at all. He was very cruel, and blood could be seen from the corner of his mouth after the slap.
"What your Majesty said is... bang!"
"Xiao Letian is rebellious... Bang!"
"He has long hair secretly... bang!"
"He disrespects His Majesty... Bang!"
"He robbed the vassal states of the Qing Dynasty... Bang!"
"He also minted coins privately... Bang!"
After scolding Xiao Letian for his sins, he gave himself a slap in the face, and soon the blood stained his chest.
Every time there was a slap, the other guards and eunuchs in the room trembled. The slap was like a slap on their own faces.
Manshun wanted His Majesty to calm down, but he never expected that Zaichun would be schizophrenic today!
