Those who have drank foreign ink are different. People like Deng Shichang have been studying in Europe for several years and are already a little uncomfortable with these domestic rules.
In addition, this is not the stern Forbidden City, but the dilapidated Jehol Palace. Emperor Tongzhi's court is dilapidated and will no longer look like the great empire it once was!
At this time, the vain imperial authority can no longer suppress these young people!
In fact, the rule of the Han Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty relied solely on the balance of power in the court, and the other was the habit of imperial power!
What they rely on is China's dependence and habit on imperial rule for thousands of years!
Why do kings build grand palaces? In fact, it is to create this unique imperial power atmosphere!
In this atmosphere, people's hearts will be restrained and awed, and they will understand the rules better!
Let’s take a look at all the people in history who rebelled and ascended to the throne of emperor. Which one of them had entered the palace when they were young and had seen such a majestic scene?
Whether Zhu Yuanzhang or Liu Bang, they suffered hardships and hardships when they were young, but they were never suppressed by the imperial power. If they had been suppressed, I am afraid their rebellious hearts would have been restrained a lot!
The Forbidden City and other imperial cities are deliberately creating a sense of oppression with supreme imperial power! Use this kind of environmental pressure to transform people's hearts!
People's hearts will change according to the environment!
But today this is not the Forbidden City, and Emperor Tongzhi’s empire has been ruined. The Chengde Summer Resort is a royal vacation garden, and the aura here is far inferior to that of the Forbidden City!
A group of new naval elites who had just returned from China, especially those who had fought hard in Tianjin, were full of enthusiasm, and they had an extreme plan for women to take power!
Now Cixi dared to take authority in front of them, which was like stabbing her lungs!
Cixi was so frightened that she had never ordered the guards to arrest someone. Instead, the slaves started fighting with the guards and beat the guards in yellow mantles with their fists, giving him a black nose and a swollen face!
What frightened Cixi even more was that the new imperial guardsmen holding new rifles in the corner of the yard were just looking at them, indifferently, without taking any action!
"Are you all fools? Why don't you arrest these rebellious officials!" Li Lianying received a punch in the face and angrily cursed at the new army in the corner.
But none of the new troops moved. Instead, several guards from the neighboring courtyard rushed over to reinforce!
At this time, Gordon, a big-nosed foreigner, couldn't stand it anymore and rushed into the crowd to start a fight: "Don't do it... don't do it... Your Majesty, please forgive these adults..."
"They fought bloody battles in Tianjin all night, and they are really angry... Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
Under Gordon's persuasion, Cixi calmed down immediately. She also saw the unkind eyes of the new army in the corner of the yard. Her heart skipped a beat. She secretly thought that it was not good. She did not have absolute strength, nor was she completely Gain the upper hand!
If he forces a rebellion at this time, he will suffer a loss!
The feng shui in Chengde didn't help me. I suffered a loss last time here, so I went to Beijing to take revenge!
Cixi recalled the year of Xinyou's coup. At that time, after Xianfeng's death, the eight ministers Gu Ming did not take the young emperor and the queen mother seriously at all.
At that time, the guards in Chengde were all subordinates of the Eighth Minister. If Sushun had been more ruthless and had chopped off Cixi's head, things would have been fine!
As a last resort, Cixi and the others could only take advantage of the return of the coffin to break up and form an alliance with Guiziliu!
At that time, Guiziliu's cronies controlled the army in the capital. After arriving in the capital, Cixi and others immediately started killing people and directly destroyed the country-protecting system of the Eight Ministers Gu Ming!
With such an experience, Cixi regarded Chengde as a bad place and the capital as her treasured place!
Just when Cixi was looking for the bottom of the steps, Er Mao's figure hurriedly ran from the corner gate, "Your Majesty has a decree... send a message to Hunchun quickly, Gordon and the returning navy generals to meet you!"
"Everyone stop it... His Majesty has summoned... Time is running out..."
Emperor Tongzhi's oral edict was the best step. Everyone in the courtyard stopped. Gordon and Deng Shichang wiped the dust and bruises from their faces and walked quickly towards the Yunshan Resort Tower!
Cixi looked at the rebellious retreating figures, her hands trembling with anger, she stomped back to rest and didn't bother to pay attention to the people outside.
The third master, Ci'an and other ministers looked at the mess and sighed, unable to say anything!
On the second floor of Yunshan Resort Building, the aroma of medicine was fragrant. Hunchun's stretcher was carried in first and then the rest of the people filed in!
When everyone saw the door of Nuan Pavilion opened, they were all shocked!
"His Majesty……"
I saw Emperor Tongzhi leaning on the bed at this moment, with several layers of white gauze on his face, only his eyes and mouth exposed!
"You...are back..."
A familiar voice sounded, and people realized that the mummy in front of them was Zai Chun, the Tongzhi Emperor. A group of people knelt on the ground with grief, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" …”
Hunchun also wanted to struggle and kowtow, but Ermao stopped him, "General Hunchun, please don't move..."
Zai Chun was still energetic at the moment and waved his hands and said, "Stop saluting! Don't salute...get up...I'm not strong enough, so I need to hurry up and say a few words to you!"
"Hunchun... you are a loyal minister and my loyal minister. I can trust you!"
"You're injured like this, so don't leave...stay with me to recuperate...it's you who will take care of Guanwaijun...let Fu Qing take care of you for a while before you recover from your injury. Do you think it's feasible?"
The king of a country and his ministers spoke in a consultative tone. Hunchun shed tears after hearing this, "Your Majesty! The lives of the ministers belong to your Majesty...the army all belongs to the emperor!"
"No...don't say that...of course the army belongs to my emperor...but after all, you trained it, and the soldiers still listen to you and believe in you!"
"I'm not such an unreasonable person... If Fu Qing is not suitable, would you choose someone to take care of him temporarily?"
"No, no, no... very good. Mr. Fu Qing is very good. I will explain it to my brothers..."
"That's good...that's good...Hunchun...you must remember...the first priority of guarding Rehe...is to open up the main communication channel with the north..."
"Mongolia and the three provinces outside the customs must be connected...materials...troops...ahem..."
Zai Chun didn't say a few words and immediately started coughing violently. Er Mao quickly patted his back gently!
All the courtiers in the room shed tears. With Zai Chun's few words, these courtiers understood in their hearts that Emperor Tongzhi was actually a capable monarch despite his young age!
Everything explained in a few sentences is on point. This is a good emperor who knows military affairs and political affairs! But how did it end up like this?
After exchanging a few words with Hunchun, Zai Chun looked at Deng Shichang, Yan Fu and others, "Hey... you guys... why do you start fighting as soon as you return home?"
