Fu Qing was so excited that he wanted to clap his hands. He never expected that Emperor Tongzhi's empress could be so virtuous. She was more thoughtful than men in times of chaos. None of these ministers could compare with him.
The emperor fled to Rehe, and he had to take the jade seal with him even if he couldn't take anything with him. This was the foundation of the country, but he was so busy that he forgot such an important thing.
A virtuous wife and a husband will prevent troubles at home. What our ancestors said makes sense. But before Fu Qing could praise him, Cixi, who was sitting on a rickshaw next to him, suddenly cursed.
"You bastard...you brought out seven yuan of the 25 treasures of the Qing Dynasty? What about the others? Are you still thinking about things?"
Arut didn't expect that her behavior was not praised at all, but scolded by her mother-in-law. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was so aggrieved that she didn't dare to tell the difference.
Zai Chun didn't have enough energy to say anything and couldn't muster up the energy. No one else could interrupt. After all, this was a matter of course for a mother-in-law to harm her daughter-in-law.
At the critical moment, Ci'an was the one who reasoned, "Sister, what are you doing? Being able to grab seven pieces of jade seals is already a great achievement. Look carefully at the volume and weight of these jade seals. Can you take them all away?"
"It's just two such small rickshaws, and the queen has to sit in them. It's good to be able to bring out seven yuan!"
The jade seal that symbolizes a country's political power is different from the private seal that people think of. This kind of jade seal is very large and is carved from a single piece of jade.
The weak woman cannot even move it by herself! Moreover, these jade seals are locked in heavy and huge rosewood boxes, some of which are even three-layered.
Otherwise, you cannot show the authority of the emperor at all. In Xiao Letian's 21st century, if you were lucky enough to travel to the Forbidden City, you could still see the treasure boxes that once contained jade seals!
Xiao Letian didn't know if there were any jade seals inside, but at that time he often lay at the window cracks and looked around. These jade seal treasure boxes were more than one meter high and wrapped in yellow satin. An adult could only hold one of the treasure boxes inside.
It was still not easy for Arut to bring out seven pieces. This was all done by smashing the treasure box outside. The locked rosewood box inside was really reluctant to smash, and was also afraid of damaging the jade seal inside, so the whole It was brought out.
An empty rickshaw was loaded with five pieces of jade seals. Arut held one piece by himself and another piece by his side. This was already the limit.
Just now, gunshots were heard from the direction of Taihe Gate, indicating that Donghua Gate had fallen, and the enemy was already on the back, and there was really no time to get a few more pieces.
But I risked my life but was scolded as a bastard by my mother-in-law. I felt so wronged, but I couldn't express it at all!
Fortunately, Ci'an was still a bit reasonable. Cixi didn't dare to offend Ci'an now. The soldiers who fled to Rehe were all from Ci'an and Fuqing. How dare she not bow her head when they entered other people's territory!
After giving his daughter-in-law a fierce look, he turned his head and ignored him again.
At this time, Zai Chun suddenly waved and pulled the queen's rickshaw over. The two cars moved forward side by side. Zai Chun weakly reached out and grabbed his wife's hand.
Zai Chun smiled, full of gratitude and apology, "I...I'm sorry for you...for causing you to suffer this disaster..."
Tears burst out of Arut's eyes, "Your Majesty, don't say that...the fate of husband and wife is tied together, and disasters are inevitable in one's own life. Otherwise, how can the people say that one family does not belong to the same family!"
"Husband and wife have a common destiny, so they can suffer hardships together and enjoy happiness together. There is no one to be sorry for. This is also my own destiny..."
Zai Chun looked at this virtuous daughter-in-law tenderly, and gently twisted her fingers with his fingers, "Well said... Well said... Let's live and die together, live and die together!"
"If I can overcome this calamity...I will live up to you in this life, and we will share wealth and adversity..."
Zai Chun might also be grateful for this disaster. When the convoy escaped from the Shenwu Gate, he looked at the towering Jingshan Mountain in front of him, and suddenly a subtle feeling like an epiphany arose in his heart.
The relationship between him and his wife suddenly sublimated, and Zai Chun felt a very strong sense of shame in his heart. He suddenly felt that his previous lustful behavior was so shameful.
When you have such a virtuous wife by your side, and her appearance is first-class, why do you still want to flirt with women? Are you possessed by a demon?
Regret! I regret that I didn't spend more time with my wife. God has sent the best treasure to me, but I don't want to cherish it.
This is really repentance from every pore in my heart. My love has been sublimated. Even if I give Zai Chun ten thousand more beauties from heaven in the future, he may not be tempted!
If you don’t experience some ups and downs, joys and sorrows in life, you won’t understand what is true love and what is true and false!
In fact, judging from Zaichun's age, it is not too late or even early to be able to repent and realize it now!
But he is a king, and the fate of the Qing Dynasty does not know how much time it can give him!
After rushing out of the Shenwu Gate, they met a group of people wearing police uniforms. The leader was King Yu Benge on horseback. He came up to them and shouted, "Donghua Gate has been captured... Now the rebels are attacking the Meridian Gate... Your Majesty, hurry up." Let’s go, I’ve prepared the carriage!”
At the critical moment, King Yu actually didn't rebel and came to rescue him. Zai Chun was deeply surprised: "King Yu... you didn't leave?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about... Where can I go? I am just a helpless prince in the capital. Who can look down on me if I am guarding a golden job?"
"Your Majesty has promoted me and put me in charge of the affairs of the nine admirals... I am grateful and dare not not do my best!"
"The carriage is ready... quickly change the carriage... Let's rush out from Di'anmen. I have brought four hundred direct relatives, all of whom are reliable, to protect His Majesty as he rushes out of the capital..."
A total of more than 500 new troops were brought out of the Forbidden City, and now together with the 400 capital policemen, there are enough for 900 guards, which is a lot of people.
Xiao Qian's team made Zai Chun feel a little more at ease. After getting off the rickshaw, everyone quickly changed carriages and then drove straight through Beiyuan at high speed.
There were also scattered guards and eunuchs following along the way. These were all conscientious and knew how to escort them. By the time the team rushed to the vicinity of Di'anmen, the number had increased to one thousand two three.
At the same time, the Japanese soldier Liu Yixin has led his troops to the Donghuamen area!
The overall situation was like this. No matter how much Fu Qing increased his troops, there was nothing he could do. Dong'anmen fell and all the defenders were killed. Prince Zheng Chengzhi led the thugs and began to storm Donghua Gate.
The towering tower was riddled with holes. He opened fire unscrupulously as he had the cannon provided by the British.
Although Xie Ting's troops were ordered to outflank Prince Zheng's retreat, they did not expect that more and more thugs and rebels would pour in at the breach at the root of the imperial city, tightly entangling their entire battalion. .
When the news came from Dongjiaomin Lane that the foreign Japanese had joined the war, Fu Qing did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered Xie Ting's troops to withdraw to the Meridian Gate Defense Line. In fact, he was asking them to buy time for His Majesty.
The Tongzhi Emperor had fled north, and the morale of the defenders in the Forbidden City collapsed like an avalanche. The resistance at Donghua Gate became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no resistance at all.
When Emperor Guangxu Yixin arrived, Prince Zheng and the others were organizing people to hit the palace door with huge trees, and they were about to break it open!
