The ministers were in an uproar, no one expected that the Queen Mother of the two palaces would actually make this move!
Cixi is easy to talk about. After all, she is her mother and she still has to support her son at critical moments. But is Ci'an actually so generous? Are you willing to give even a blank imperial edict?
No matter what the content of the imperial edict is, first stamp the seals of Yushang and Tongdaotang. These two seals were originally the highest symbols of imperial power before Zaichun came to power!
This is the last edict of Emperor Xianfeng, and all the ministers will obey it! And it was also very consistent with the general pattern of decentralized power at that time!
But that night, I don't know how the two queen mothers chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha. Anyway, they actually reached an agreement to give Zai Chun power!
Six copies of the imperial edict! It's still blank, how much can be done with it? There are so many ways to do this in the writings of literati!
When it comes to promoting or demoting officials, you can write just one person's name, and it won't take much ink to write ten! With this blank authorization decree, Zaichun can freely appoint and remove officials!
Of course, one should be more careful in appointing and dismissing officials of the first and second grades, Zai Chun, but the officials of the third and lower grades are not allowed to touch their own heads?
There is also the Military Affairs Office. With the nods of the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, no one in the court can object anymore, unless Yixin breaks out. But looking at the situation today, can Yixin still make waves?
Zai Chun's eyes couldn't stop smiling, "After the Imperial Gate hears the government, I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother...inform the Imperial Kitchen to serve wine in the Imperial Garden!"
"Okay, my lords... there are any details that I haven't figured out yet. Please brainstorm ideas. I'm going to speak out today and wait for everyone's opinions!"
Any other comments? Today, Zai Chun is indeed thorough in handling government affairs, including civil affairs, military affairs, flag affairs, diplomacy...every aspect has been considered!
Many veterans were very impressed by the fact that someone at such a young age could think so comprehensively!
"My Holy Emperor! I have no objection..."
"Hmm...Okay...send someone to look for it again. Prince Gong and Prince Chun are the pillars of the country. I still need the help of the two uncles as counselors for my decision!"
These hypocritical words cannot be accepted. Today, Zai Chun has made a complete counterattack, suppressing all the prestige that Yi Xin had when he snatched money and forced the palace. Isn't it enough to take revenge like this? Still have to pull him back and slap him in the face?
People think about it in their hearts, but no one dares to say it. There is no way to say this!
At this moment, a lonely figure walked up from the Meridian Gate. He walked very slowly, and the shadow of the huge Five Phoenix Tower at the Meridian Gate covered him, making him look like a ghost!
The guards and soldiers around looked at him strangely, and the officials in front of the Taihe Gate also looked at him walking across the Jinshui Bridge with solemn expressions!
Prince Chun Yixuan finally came, and his late arrival showed his unhappiness!
Zai Chun looked at this seventh uncle. He was not very Yixuan because this person was not bad at heart. He did not have as strong a desire for power as Yixin!
But there is no way, after all, he is also the biological son of Emperor Daoguang. If you don't want the rights, you have to chase him!
In addition, the people around him who are coercing him are people from the Eight Banners circle, leaving him with no choice. He can only be a conservative!
Zai Chun still gave his uncle some face. He took a step ahead to greet Yixuan before he could say anything. "Uncle Seventh King... It's been a hard night. Why didn't Uncle Six come with us?"
Yi Xuan's face turned red and he knelt down to salute, "It's a capital crime for a humble minister... As the admiral of the Nine Sects, I failed to take care of the security of the Fourth Nine City, allowing the enemy to infiltrate in, causing casualties to my innocent soldiers and civilians!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Yi Xuan hit his forehead on the stone floor, took off his hat, put it on and put it aside. This was the attitude of resigning!
Zai Chun didn't want to do anything wrong today. He knew very well that the battle in the court was not a temporary thing. Xishan Camp's small army of 100,000 people was not easy to deal with. He couldn't fall out until this hidden danger was completely resolved!
He walked a few steps quickly and held Uncle Qi's shoulder, "Uncle Qi, what are you talking about? This national crisis is not the responsibility of one or two people, and you cannot bear it all!"
"Put your hat on, put your hat on..."
He pulled hard with both hands, but Yixuan was falling like a dead dog and refused to get up. He just kept whimpering, "Your Majesty! Too many of us have died...too many..."
"It's so miserable... Wuwuwu... Some were killed by poisonous smoke, some were burned to death, and some were beaten into pieces by heavy machine guns..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
"I really have no shame in standing in the court. I beg Your Majesty to punish me, punish me..."
Yi Xin glanced at Uncle Wu, Yi Kuang and others. These princes hurriedly came up to help and pulled Prince Chun up together. Prince Chun was crying heartbreakingly. He was not pretending but showed his true feelings. !
It is true that too many people died. When Xiao Letian brought Ci'an's clothes and imperial edict to King Qin of Beijing, the battle was fierce and the Chinese troops were large, but not many people died!
The battle at Guangqumen basically collapsed at the first touch. The defenders fled without much resistance. As for the capital cavalry brought out by Ande Hai and others, they did not fight much. The Chinese army was scattered and hid in the countryside as soon as they rushed. After going down, I turned around and waited until it was safe and then walked home one by one!
That year when Xiao Letian attacked the capital, it was actually Li Hongzhang's Huai army and some of the defenders of Tianjin Guard who suffered the most casualties. Basically, more Han people died, while not many Eight Banners disciples died!
They don't feel bad about how many Han people die, but in the battle last night, it was the garrison heads of the capital who were the first to fight and the ones who suffered the worst!
This is the hometown of the Eight Banners disciples. Those killed by machine guns are all the disciples with the same surname!
At least 500 Eight Banners died in the battle that night, and more than 200 died in the Xishan Camp. These were 500 young Eight Banners. A full 500 families lost their sons today!
Five hundred families mourned collectively. This scene had never happened before in the capital. What was even worse was that they were all bannermen!
Yixuan had just counted the casualties outside, and when he counted more than 200 people, he cried with distress. This scene reminded him of the Battle of Baliqiao between the British and French forces!
But Senggelinqin led some Mongolian cavalry or bannermen at the bottom of the Eight Banners. Although many people died in battle, it did not hurt the vitality of the real Manchus!
And those Manchus who died last night were terrible. Yixuan was frightened when he saw the list!
Borzigit, Fucha, Guarjia, Majia, Hesheli, Niugulu, etc. are all big surnames among the banner people, belonging to families at the top of their power!
Those who died were all my relatives! Can Yixuan not be sad? He cried countless times along the way, and he was really heartbroken!
"Your Majesty...Prince Gong had a heart attack last night and was in coma for half an hour... He is currently rescuing him. He asked me to send him a note to report his illness..."
"He wants to resign from the position of Prime Minister and Minister Wang... He wants to resign from all his errands..."
