"Your Majesty!" The surrounding eunuchs exclaimed and ran over to help Emperor Tongzhi up. They held his chest and patted his back for a long time before they revived Emperor Tongzhi who had passed away.
"Water... give me water..." Zai Chun took a sip of warm tea and then took a breath.
"Say it again...you are saying it again!" Zai Chun shouted.
Prince Yu kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down... For some unknown reason, Prince Chun Yixuan and Prince Qing Yikuang, together with Fujin and Beizi, fled to the British Embassy at night..."
"I met the night patrol cavalry on Qipan Street. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and shots were fired..." King Yu simply repeated what had just happened, and at the end he cried bitterly.
"Long live my Lord...Prince Chun who is hiding in the embassy said that he has a last resort, saying that someone will go crazy and want to harm him!"
"He also said that Long Live Master should have known about it by now... Tell me, isn't this a case of madness? Is Yizhen out of his mind?"
Hearing this, Zai Chun actually laughed angrily, "Haha... That's great. I just let them go free for a few days, and now they are running away?"
"Who is the crazy person? Well...wait...he said that I am about to find out? Did something happen?"
Guiziliu was really bad. The telegram sent to the whole country was sent last to the capital. The governors all over the country knew about it, but Emperor Tongzhi and the senior officials of the Six Ministries didn't know at all.
This is really a strange thing in history. The governors who got the news did not send telegrams to the capital immediately, but communicated back and forth with each other.
For example, Li Hongzhang, after receiving the telegram from Emperor Guangxu, immediately asked Zuo Zongtang about his attitude!
Why didn't Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and others send a telegram to Emperor Tongzhi? In fact, it was a simple reason. Unexpectedly, they all thought that Guiziliu would send a telegram to the capital immediately.
No one expected that the little emperor didn’t know anything at this moment! This is a common-sense mistake, because anyone would think that if Yixin electrified the whole country to rebel, they had to tell the capital first!
A joke, a ridiculous joke was born like this, and it also gave Prince Qing and Prince Chun the time difference to escape and take refuge calmly!
This was all discussed in advance. Why did Prince Qing and Prince Chun choose to leave their palaces at the last minute and flee to the British Embassy for refuge?
Their purpose was to paralyze Emperor Tongzhi. Two such important figures were trapped in the capital. Zai Chun had no idea that the Sixth Japanese Society would blatantly rebel!
You must know that it is an iron triangle, and everyone knows that they are a political alliance!
They are all ruthless people, Yi Xin is ruthless, and these two princes are also ruthless people. They are both risking their lives and using all their strength to deceive Emperor Tongzhi!
"Tell me what happened? You all talk! Are you all mute? Talk..."
Bao Jun knew that he must not be mute at this moment. Not speaking was the biggest sin. "Long live my Lord! Although I don't know what happened, please inform the British embassy staff quickly and ask them why they are shielding the two princes. These British people must know Got something!"
Ma Ming also spoke, "Your Majesty! I sent someone to leave the city quickly to find Mr. Fu Qing. Mr. Fu Qing was inspecting arms outside the city today and did not have time to return to the city!"
"Master Fuqing controls the Qing Dynasty Telegraph Bureau. He must have a way to find out the recent telegram communications of the British Embassy!"
"I have heard before that the Chinese have a technology for monitoring telegrams... Although our Qing Dynasty does not have it, at least Mr. Fu Qing can find out the source of the telegrams!"
"Let's see who the British Embassy has exchanged the most telegrams with recently. Maybe there are clues in it!"
When King Yu heard that others had said that Tao Dao was coming, he couldn't help but speak. He quickly said, "Yes, yes... Your Majesty thinks so too!"
Zai Chun glared at this loser fiercely, took a deep breath to calm down, stood up and said, "It seems that something has indeed happened in my empire! You go on your errands..."
"Declaration... From this moment on, I will move to the Gate of Supreme Harmony. From this moment on, the Gate of Supreme Harmony will be my office and bedroom!"
"Ah! Your Majesty, you can't do that... The Hall of Supreme Harmony has not been tidied up, the window curtains and decorations are all lacking, and there are no ground dragons. It will be very cold in winter!"
"The doors and windows of the main hall are not as detailed as those of the small harem. There is air leakage everywhere. Your Majesty's body and bones will be hurt if you stay there!"
"Stop talking...I have made up my mind. Back then, Emperor Yongzheng set up a military aircraft office and built a secret tunnel with the purpose of ruling the empire faster and more conveniently..."
"Now it seems that the Yangxin Palace and the Military Aircraft Department are too far away, too far away from the outside world... There was a gunshot on Qipan Street, but I didn't hear it at all!"
"The harem and the front hall cannot communicate with each other late at night. This really delays the military situation! Go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony! If you object again, then I will live in the Meridian Gate!"
"If you continue to object, I will build a straw hut in Qianbu Corridor. I don't believe that I can't spare this little time! Go on errands. I don't need you to come here to show your loyalty!"
Emperor Tongzhi said that for this reason, what else could he do? Everyone kowtowed and retreated. Zai Chun walked around the dragon case and took a cloak and put it on himself.
"Let's go! Go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony. I will be stationed here permanently from today on. When will the Qing Dynasty be at peace, I will return to the harem!"
A group of eunuchs surrounded the little emperor and walked out of the Yangxin Palace, but as soon as they left the Yangxin Gate, they were greeted by the Queen's cavalry team!
"You...are you here to dissuade me?" Zai Chun asked.
Unexpectedly, Zaichun's queen, Arute, would kneel down and say hello, and the eunuch and maid behind her would kneel on the ground!
"Your Majesty is going to the Gate of Supreme Harmony to handle military and government affairs. This is what a wise king should do! How dare I stop you? I'm going to see your Majesty off today..."
"From now on, the harem door will not be opened. I will guard the inner house for your majesty. When will your majesty come back, when will the harem be opened again..."
"I hope your Majesty will take state affairs as your top priority and don't worry about the love between your children in the palace!"
Zai Chun finally had a smile on his face, "Okay... As expected, I will marry a virtuous wife. I have you as my banner to guard my home, so what else do I have to worry about!"
Zai Chun stepped out of the Yangxin Hall and left the harem area. Behind him, the queen personally ordered someone to close the inner right door, lock it from the inside, and gather all the keys in the queen's hands.
Zai Chun walked towards the Gate of Supreme Harmony without hesitation. At this moment, the eunuchs in the Forbidden City were already alarmed. Countless warehouses were opened, and the Gate of Supreme Harmony had to be transformed into a palace suitable for the emperor to live in the shortest possible time.
In the middle of the night, a group of ant-like eunuchs were busy moving!
When Zai Chun arrived at the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the door that had not been opened for a long time slowly opened with a grinding sound of the door axis! The main hall, which no one has entered for a long time, has a musty smell!
"Report...to report to Your Majesty...Master Baojun met the British military attache Delaney on the way to the British Embassy...He came to see Your Majesty!"
