Crash, crash, crash... From the inner right door to the back right door and then to the middle right people on the west side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a burst of panicked footsteps.
The royal chariots of the Queen of Two Palaces were carried by eunuchs, surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs and guards, heading straight towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony from south to north.
Guiziliu, who looked mournful, led the way. The dignified Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty, Minister Wang, ran like the third grandson.
Originally, during the return ceremony of Emperor Tongzhi, there was a visit to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces in Yangxin Hall. Zai Chun received congratulations from hundreds of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After the banquet, the emperor drank three glasses of wine and said a few polite words. I just want to go to Yangxin Hall to meet the two mothers.
This was a process that had been planned by the Ministry of Rites before, but while the two queen mothers were killing time playing chess and chatting in Yangxin Palace, they received the bad news about Prince Gong.
"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother is not good... Your Majesty initiated a palace coup. Three thousand imperial guards surrounded hundreds of officials and wanted to kill my younger brother..."
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, please save Yi Xin's life! Long live the palace change..."
"Ah!" The marble chess pieces were scattered all over the floor, and there was a chaos in Yangxin Hall!
"Bring the chariot over here and take us to see Lord Long Live quickly... What a nonsense, what a nonsense!"
Hundreds of people gathered around the Queen Mother and the Prince. They hurried out of the Yangxin Gate, turned south and exited the inner right gate!
Yisiha happened to be on duty today, so he naturally ran with his guards. He saw a diorama along the way. The entire Forbidden City was in panic. Everyone stopped working and looked at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the distance with pale faces. direction.
Passing by the military plane, Isiha saw Li Tuo. Zhang Jing shook his head at him, and then traced his index finger across his lips. The meaning was too obvious, that is, to stop you from talking nonsense.
Isiha nodded, subconsciously slowed down and retreated to the back of the team.
After running through the Baohe Hall and Zhonghe Hall, and bypassing the middle right gate of the Taihe Hall, Cixi and Ci'an finally saw the chaos in front of the Taihe Hall Square.
Three thousand new Royal Forest troops filled the entire square in darkness. Although no one was taking action at the moment, their murderous look was very permeable.
In the past, the imperial guards in the palace, the Pioneer Battalion, the Tiger Spear Battalion, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion, etc., all boasted to the sky on weekdays, but today when faced with these tough mountain people of Wuyi Mountain, all of them were a little bit different. Calf twist.
"Things that are worthless are just a bunch of cowards!"
Ci'an yelled, "What do you want to do? The Ai family is not dead yet, and the sky of the Qing Dynasty will not fall! Everyone, stand back, and all those with weapons must withdraw from the royal ranks!"
"What's going on? Do you still want to show off at the Aijia? Whose bullets are good? Let's shoot at the Aijia twice!"
"Good luck to the Queen Mother!" All the ministers knelt down.
The empress dowagers of the two palaces came forward. This was the current legal ruler of the empire. The system of listening to government behind the curtain was recognized by all countries. The foreign devils in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had to stand up and salute when they saw the empress dowager.
The new imperial army and the original guards in the palace all retreated with a roar, and only the officials were left on the high imperial steps.
At this moment, Ci'an showed the magnanimity of a royal empress and glanced at Fu Qing, "Fu Qing! You are the deputy minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen. You also have to take care of diplomatic matters..."
"Go and invite all the ministers from various countries to leave... tell them that the court will host a banquet for all the ambassadors to apologize for their crimes someday!"
"Hey..." Fu Qing quickly walked to the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and whispered to the ministers from various countries.
Although the Qing Empire is in decline at the moment, it is not as miserable as it was after the Eight-Power Allied Forces. The Western powers still have basic respect for the Qing Dynasty.
The envoys could not stay, so they could only leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony with their men and left the Gate of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of a group of eunuchs!
After seeing off the foreign devils, Ci'an was not polite. She pointed at the officials on the imperial steps and yelled, "What's going on? What's going on? Where is Long Live Lord's braid? Why did it break?"
"Speak! Are they all mute?"
Cixi was even more anxious. Her son had suffered such a big loss and she jumped up and down in distress, "Yi Xin! What did you just say? Long live the emperor to change the palace and kill people? How come long live is suffering now?"
"Why are there no braids?"
Er Mao gave Da Sixi a fierce wink. Da Sixi was trembling with fright for a long time and crawled over on his knees holding the crown and braids.
"Queen Mother, this is what happened...Prince Qing Yikuang was dissatisfied, so he sneaked up on Lord Long Live and cut off the emperor's braid with a paper knife..."
Thanks to Zeng Guofan for suppressing the situation just now and unifying the rhetoric, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to resolve!
Guiziliu was dumbfounded. He had just run back for a short while, but this group of people had colluded to confess? Looking up and seeing Zeng Guofan coughing and panting, he understood everything.
"The Queen Mother... this little slave is lying!" Yi Xin pointed at Da Sixi and yelled, "No matter how courageous Yi Kuang is, he can't bring a knife into the Forbidden City, nor can he assassinate the king!"
"Isn't he afraid of killing everyone in his family? On the other hand, this new imperial army has rifles full of bullets..."
As he said this, Guiziliu suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he did not dare to say any more. Zeng Guofan frowned and looked at him with disappointment in his eyes.
Oops... What happened to me today? I was guarding against Zai Chun's imitation of Emperor Kangxi's move. I have to get out of the Forbidden City alive. What am I arguing about now?
Thinking of this, his tone softened a bit: "Your Majesty, I have made it very clear that the Forbidden City cannot be left to the Han people under any circumstances!"
"This is my brother's bottom line. If Long Live Master doesn't even care about this ancestral family law, then I can only quit this job...I will go farming outside the pass!"
After saying that, Guiziliu knelt in front of the empress dowagers of the two palaces, took off his headband and placed it on the ground, and stopped talking.
When things got to this point, Cixi and Ci'an already understood that the uncle and nephew had not seen each other for five years, and they were already getting angry on the first day they met!
The overall situation is important, the overall situation is important!
"Your Majesty, let Aijia hear what you want?" Ci'an asked.
Emperor Tongzhi paid his respects to the two mothers and said with a smile, "My children don't have any big expectations. I have already become accustomed to these new soldiers in the imperial forest. I hope I can let them serve me personally!"
"Since the emperor has said that if the Han people enter the Forbidden City, it will be easy to handle. There are also our banner men in the new imperial forest army!"
"Select 600 people, and let them be responsible for the defense of Donghua Gate from now on. A few broken houses in Jianting and Nansansu will be enough for them to live in!"
"I have ordered my banner men to serve me personally. I don't think you, the emperor's relatives, will stop you any more, right?"
"In addition, I have to give the rest of the new Royal Forest Army some errands, so I can't let them go in vain!"
"Just bring up the Deshengmen and Andingmen, and let the new Yulin Army guard them. This will relieve Prince Chun of some of his burdens, and it's a small favor from my nephew!"
Hiss... Guiziliu took a breath of air, "What a boy, your skills are so ruthless!"
