"Here we come... Your Majesty, are we meeting again?"
In a state of confusion, Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun felt as if he was walking in a long and endless alley. Everything here was very familiar and he knew he was in the Forbidden City.
But everything became so strange again, because there shouldn't be a portal here?
"This seems to be...the wall behind the verandah on the west side of Kunning Palace...turn left in front, isn't it the Queen Mother's Chuxiu Palace?"
"Why is there a door on the wall here? I don't remember there is a door here..."
Just when Zai Chun was in a daze, the door on the east wall creaked open, revealing a familiar face. The former Ming ghost eunuch appeared again.
"Ah...it's you!" Zai Chun was not afraid in the hallucination. Even though the eunuch's hands and feet had no skin and flesh and were just skeletons, he was still somewhat familiar with it.
"I remember you...you invited me to drink tea...very fragrant tea...is there any more? I'm thirsty..."
"Haha... Your Majesty, this is not the time to drink tea. You have more important tasks to complete now... You can't come in. If you come in now, you will never be able to get out again!"
"No... I'm thirsty, I want to drink tea..." In the dream, Zai Chun tried his best to walk into the yard, but the former Ming ghost eunuch refused to give way.
"Your Majesty, please go out...you still have things to do..."
"Haha... I have no power anymore. Everyone is rebelling and wants to kill me... I can't live for a few days. I know that my illness is not good, it is a dirty disease!"
"Your Majesty, wake up quickly...you can't just let go before what you need to do is done. Go ahead! This is not the place you should be..."
At this point, the ghost eunuch pushed hard, and Zai Chun suddenly woke up, "Ah... this... where is this..."
Er Mao, who was running beside him, exclaimed, "Your Majesty is awake? His Majesty is finally awake..."
"We...what happened to us?" Zai Chun asked.
Er Mao burst into tears, "Your Majesty, take a sip of styrax wine to calm your nerves..."
Er Mao was very familiar with Emperor Tongzhi's living habits. Emperor Tongzhi was a very easily agitated person. At this time, just drinking a little medicinal wine could calm his nerves.
When he was in Europe, Emperor Tongzhi even drank absinthe with strong medicinal properties. When he was in the Qing Dynasty, he also supplemented it with some styrax wine, which was also good for the heart.
Taking the flat silver pot, Zai Chun took a sip of the spicy alcohol and poured it down his throat. "We...haven't we arrived at the Royal Garden? Are we walking north? Could it be...that I have all been defeated?"
Er Mao wiped away his tears and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we still have time to make a comeback... Since the fall of Tianjin Wei, our battle has become increasingly unsound!"
"The rebels have conquered the Yongding River defense line, and the southern city has been lost... The British, French and Russians have also betrayed His Majesty and captured Chongwenmen!"
"We can only go to Chengde to hide for a while...to avoid the danger and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
At this moment, Fu Qing also knew that His Majesty was awake and came over and said, "Your Majesty... don't worry, there is still a part of the postal army in Chengde, and General Rehe is also very loyal to the court!"
"General Hunchun's cavalry is also taking the north route. After we meet up, we will be stationed in Rehe. Your Majesty declares that the Mongolian cavalry will come to serve the king. When the time comes, we will fight back with strong troops and horses!"
To his surprise, Zai Chun was not too sad. His eyes were red and he tried to hold back the tears. "Haha...it was also what I expected...it was expected..."
"Sixth Uncle is difficult to fight... I have known this for a long time. I was lucky enough to win two games before, but in the end I let him make a comeback. It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"Er Mao... let me ask you..." Zai Chun grabbed E Mao's hand, and E Mao ran after the rickshaw.
"Where's the master? Why didn't the master come to save me... Why didn't the master come to save me..." Tears still couldn't hold back and fell.
Er Mao also cried. What's the point of saying this? He didn't dare to say anything. If he were told that the head of state was missing and was missing in the Indian Ocean, Zai Chun would probably pass out again at that time.
This is the last straw in his spiritual world!
"Your Majesty, rest assured... The head of state is on his way back. He will be able to return to Asia in a few days. As long as there is telegram contact, the head of state will definitely send troops..."
"Where is my sister Cai? Where is King Luo Huo? Where is brother Shangtai King? They don't care about me anymore...are there no reinforcements at this time?"
"During the Battle of Zhuozhou, the railway soldiers came to participate in the battle... Why was it that the capital was lost but not a single soldier was left?"
Er Mao really didn't know what to say, "That's... that's... Tianjin fell, and the railway over Yangcun was blown up... Let's temporarily block it!"
"After all, there aren't many people at the embassy..."
Zai Chun was so disappointed that he stopped talking. How could he not know the information that there were five hundred soldiers in the Chinese embassy?
When they passed Anzhenmen, Queen Arute and her party also caught up with them. The queen was holding a rosewood box as if she was holding her own life.
There are several jade seal boxes in another car.
"My slave was incompetent and couldn't take away the 25 treasures of the Qing Dynasty, so I took away the treasure of the Qing Dynasty, the treasure of the emperor's enthronement, the treasure of the successor of the Qing Dynasty, the treasures of the two emperors, the treasure of the emperor... and finally brought out a piece The emperor’s trustworthy treasure!”
There are seven seals in total, time is too tight and there are only two cars. The queen really has no choice!
There were many jade seals in the Qing Dynasty, not just one. Especially in the early Qing Dynasty, treasure making was chaotic. Every emperor would make seals according to his own preferences!
During the Qianlong period, he felt that there were too many imperial seals and they were too confusing, so he made new rules and left twenty-five square jade seals, which are called Qing Twenty-Five Treasures!
Then the ancestors of Shengjing left ten jade seals used in the early Qing Dynasty, called the Ten Treasures of Shengjing!
The Twenty-Five Treasures of the Qing Dynasty are stored in the Jiaotai Hall in the harem. There is a small hall between Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall!
Each of the twenty-five treasures has its own use. This Arut family is really a talented woman, she can actually understand the use of this jade seal! What is brought out is the most useful.
The first piece is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty. This is a very important jade seal. Its only function is to appoint a new emperor. It is used when the emperor ascends the throne to announce to the world.
Once this treasure is taken out, even if you take the throne, Guiziliu, you won’t be able to seal it, and you won’t be able to tell the world!
The second piece is a treasure that the emperor enshrines in heaven. It is used for sacrifices. When you are the emperor, you are not allowed to offer sacrifices to heaven? Are you not allowed to worship at the Temple of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon? Without this treasure, will you go empty-handed?
The third piece is the treasure of the Qing Dynasty, used to establish the crown prince! Without this thing, Zai Cheng Zai Tu would be blind!
The fourth piece of the emperor's treasure is made of two seals, one made of jade and one made of wood. These are the most commonly used seals. The emperor uses these two seals when issuing some ordinary decrees.
The fifth piece, the treasure of the emperor, is used when offering sacrifices to the gods!
The last piece, the Emperor's Trust Treasure, was used by the army to conquer the army. It was built during the war. This thing is more important!
The Arut family took away these seven pieces, which basically freed up Guiziliu's new dynasty!
