"Someone told me about your commotion on the way here. In the final analysis, is it just a matter of entering Beijing through that door? Why is it so?"
"Sister, Anding Gate and Desheng Gate are both good words. Is it wrong for Your Majesty to govern the country in order to ensure stability? Moreover, you can reach the Temple of Heaven and the Xiannong Altar from the Anding Gate, and you can enter the Forbidden City straight away from the front door of the overpass!"
"Isn't this bad? Besides, you, Yi Xin, are just doing errands when you are old. You still don't know this about Sijiucheng? Why don't you think about Guangqumen's taboos?"
"A city gate that has been breached is indeed a bit unlucky. Your sister-in-law is right to pick the reason!"
It was Ci'an's custom to have sex with both sides. In the past, this matter could be suppressed to some extent, but today Cixi was acting abnormally. It was really embarrassing.
"Sister, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but I'm really bullying people too much! I put the ugly words first. When His Majesty returns to the country, everyone here to welcome the Holy Emperor will not be able to avoid it!"
"Why did you let the fifth prince go? Even our Aixinjueluo family doesn't care so much. How will the people in the world think?"
"If you don't go to Jiangnan to greet me in person, you still want Banzai to enter the capital through the dilapidated city gate? Well, well... you're just bullying people like that, aren't you?"
"Today, sister, I will just play around for a while. I will go to the Ancestral Temple to cry for my ancestors. I will go to cry for the late emperor!"
"If you are able, send me to Dingling to guard the late emperor's tomb! Oh oh oh... I can die there with my man!"
She was crying. Cixi was crying and rushing out. She was about to go to the Ancestral Temple to mourn. If she couldn't stop him, she might actually go to the Qing Dong Tomb to find this dead man!
"Stop her quickly! What are you doing on this big day?" Ci'an stretched out his hand, and a group of eunuchs, including Zhou Daoying and Li Lianying, formed a circle hand in hand to protect Cixi from going out.
The area inside the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart was not very big, so the chaos immediately caused chaos. The ministers who were kneeling and worshiping were rushing to avoid the collision. The scene was called a chaos!
Cixi acted a bit rogue today, but according to the feudal tradition, the principles picked out by others are really nothing to say. The feudal ethics are the most particular about these vain etiquette.
Yi Xin and the others were a bit unscrupulous in what they did. Ci Xi really had to hold her by the pigtails!
Apart from anything else, it’s understandable that you didn’t go to Fujian to greet the emperor when he returned home. Why didn’t you show up in Jiangnan and Shanghai? The Aixinjueluo family lost the powerless fifth prince Yi Pei. This matter has already become a joke.
The ceremony of entering the city was even a joke. If Cixi didn't blow up the pot, then there would be something wrong!
Yi Xin's face was ashen with anger, and her sister-in-law Ci'an pointed at her nose and said, "You, you, how did you arrange it?"
Yi Xin also knelt down, "Sister-in-law, brother, I kneel down and kowtow to my sister-in-law! All the mistakes I made are all my fault. It was my fault in doing the job..."
"But...but...but sister-in-law, if you kill me, I won't be able to do this job!"
"Hey... disembark from Tongzhou and go around Deshengmen? Then go around the entire Forty-Nine City and then enter the Forbidden City... How much work is this? I can't do it in two days!"
"My brother is incompetent. If I take off my hat, I will just shut myself up and think about the past. I will let the imperial court fail!"
Yi Xin also got excited. He took off the hat and threw it to the ground. He knelt there straight and held his neck.
Cixi is acting wildly and Yi Xin is pushing the cow. The excitement in the Yangxin Hall is so exciting!
"That's enough! Everyone, please be quiet!" Ci'an yelled, and he was so angry that the chaos at the scene calmed down. "Everyone, go back to your seats! The sky hasn't fallen yet, why are you making a fuss?"
"To tell you the truth, when I left Beiyuan, I had already sent someone to telegraph the news to the emperor. Since you can't solve this problem, let Long Live Lord rule!"
"What are you thinking about? Now that foreigners have invented such good communication technology, why don't they use it? The military aircraft department has a telegraph line. Is it just a decoration?"
"His Majesty is sailing on the Grand Canal, and Fu Qing, the head of the Qing Dynasty Telegraph Bureau, is there. There is a telegraph network along the canal, so it is not difficult to contact him!"
"I finally understand that there are no two days in the world. A court or a country must have a person who takes the lead! Each person has a different tone. In the end, we are not bickering and quarreling every day!"
"Let Mr. Long Live take charge of the government as soon as possible, so as to save you from such internal strife. Even if the Qing Dynasty recovers a third of its vitality, you will be exhausted by all your internal strife!"
Xiao Letian once said that the best Western business in the Qing Dynasty in today's world is actually the Qing Telegraph Bureau run by Fuqing. Although the industry has not been developed, Fuqing's telegraph Bureau is really impressive.
After all, where is the relationship between Fu Qing and Xiao Letian? There are many resources and advanced ideas. In the late Qing Dynasty when thousands of people were in silence, the telegraph network of the Qing Dynasty became unique.
Telegraph coverage now exceeds that of Tsarist Russia!
In terms of the total mileage of telegraph lines, the Qing Dynasty is currently second only to the United States, and is already on par with the United Kingdom and Prussia!
Of course, this is based on the kilometers of the mainland. If the colonies are included, it would still be the UK's number one!
But this is also a great improvement. The speed of message transmission in the Qing Dynasty is completely different from that of six or seven years ago!
When Ci'an was in Beiyuan, she had already sent someone to send a telegram to Zaichun. She felt a little uneasy in her heart because Cixi was so abnormal during this period.
The Great Wall Beacon Incident and Zai Chun's return to China made this power-obsessed woman ready to take action again. When she left Beiyuan, Ci'an felt that this was not a good thing.
Whatever the result, something happened. Cixi refused to give in, and the troubled court could not live in peace!
"Wait! You all can wait with peace of mind! Come here, make some lotus seed heart tea for everyone. The bitterer the better, give the Ai family more to drink!"
This Ci'an was so bad that he actually ordered the eunuchs to shoot the extremely painful lotus seed heart tea, and ordered everyone to drink it, so that no one could escape.
These ministers were drinking lotus seed heart tea, which made them cry more than Coptis chinensis soup, and their expressions were twisted as if they were about to cry.
When Emperor Tongzhi returned home, the canal route was arranged in advance. Telegraph communications along the way were handled by dedicated personnel 24 hours a day, and there were even telegraph collectors accompanying the dragon boat all the way.
Ci'an had just arrived at Yangxin Hall, but Zaichun had already read the telegram and started writing instructions!
When Cixi was acting up, the telegraph operator at Yuzhou had already started transcoding and sending the message. After drinking three bowls of lotus seed heart tea, the telegraph machine at the military aircraft office immediately rang.
"Queen Mother, the Emperor has called back... and is currently being translated. Please wait a moment, Queen Mother!"
"Look, you all take a look... You all opposed repairing the telegraph line at the beginning, now you know it, right? In half an hour, the emperor called back. What kind of efficiency is this?"
