Chapter 58 Jade Seat Bead Curtain (17-1)

Yan also extended soon.When Ding Baozhen made this decision, the four-hundred-mile memorial had already been handed over to the capital.After reading the emperor's one-month memorial, he had already figured out the tricks, and had a better understanding of the situation in the provinces. Andehai went all the way south, first passing through Zhili, then passing through Shandong, and then entering Jiangsu.However, the waterway from Linqing to Zhangqiu was impassable, and he might take a detour through Henan, so the news about his whereabouts must have been reported by these four provinces, and at most one of the governor's yamen for water transport was added.In addition, the memorials of the provinces will never mention the word An Dehai.

Of course, according to the itinerary, the two governors of Shandong and Jiangsu and the governors of Liangjiang should pay the most attention, so he waited for the yellow box to be delivered by the internal affairs office every day, and first picked the memorials of these yamen. "Okay! It's finally here!" After reading Ding Baozhen's papers, the emperor thought to himself that he was not in a hurry when he could do the important things that had been going on for so many days.At this time, the urgent thing to do was to discuss with Xiao Li, but Xiao Li was not here. what to do?He was thinking, first of all, he should not let the Empress Dowager Cixi know. After thinking about it like this, he immediately realized what he should do.Turning around for a look, no eunuchs or maids were paying attention, the timing was just right, he hurriedly put the memorial into the pages of the book.For the queen mother, it was a stolen book, and she couldn't help beating her heart, and it took a long time to calm down.

In order to show his composure, he still sat upright and opened the memorial one by one to read, but after reading the first line, he would jump to the third and fourth lines. After reading for a long time, he didn't know what to say?I had no choice but to start from the beginning. This time, it was naturally slow.Fortunately, there were not many memorials for this day, so they barely dealt with it, so they asked someone to send the yellow box up, and secretly took out Ding Baozhen's memorial, hid it on his body, and sent an order back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "Where's Xiao Li?" He asked on the soft sedan chair.

"In the study, I went to tidy up the desk for Lord Long Live." Zhang Wenliang replied. "Look for him quickly," the emperor said again, "don't go far when you turn around!" "Yes!" Zhang Wenliang looked at the emperor's face and asked, "Long Live Lord seems a little restless today? " The emperor ignored him.When he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he stood on the porch and waited. When he arrived at Xiao Li, he immediately ordered: "Quickly find the sixth master, and bring the Minister of Internal Affairs into the palace."

"Cha!" Xiao Li was delighted in his heart, but there was no smile on his face, "I'm asking for orders, where can I summon you?" "It's right here!" The emperor pointed to the ground, which meant that it was the place where the queen mothers of the two palaces often visited. "Cha!" Xiao Li thought to himself: It's just a coincidence that he was with the emperor every day, but he left for a while today, and something happened, who made the memorial and how to explain it?When the emperor saw the memorial, did he tell the Empress Dowager Ci'an?All these situations need to be clarified before we can start, so he took two steps, bowed and asked: "I would like to ask for the order of the Long Live Lord, but will you summon the Sixth Lord together with the two empress dowagers?"

"Why are you so trivial?" The emperor asked impatiently, "Do you have to alarm the two empress dowagers for anything?" "Cha! Cha!" Xiao Li agreed repeatedly, "It's not appropriate to disturb the two empress dowagers." "You know it too! Why don't you go soon?" "The slave is going now." Xiao Li replied slowly: "The slave is going to ride a horse, first go to Mr. Ming's house in the House of Internal Affairs, and let him wait in Liu Ye's mansion, and then the slave will go to Liu Ye to pass the order and serve Liu Ye The son enters the palace. It will take at least an hour to go back and forth."

Xiao Li deliberately explained in detail, so as to teach the emperor to know what to do, and then he can deal with it calmly.What he is most afraid of is that at the moment when the Jiuzhuan Dan is completed, there will be rumors leaking to the Yikun Palace. As long as the Empress Dowager Cixi intervenes, it will be like pushing a Pai Gow, revealing a pair of "Supreme Treasures", which is truly a treasure. "One turn and two stares". Therefore, he added another sentence: "Long Live Lord, please go back and sit in the room, recite poems or something, don't worry! The servant will find Liu Ye as soon as possible."

"Understood!" the emperor scolded, "You bastard, are you trying to get angry with me or something? If you keep talking, I'll kick you." "Isn't that the way to go?" Xiao Li said hello quickly, turned around and left. As soon as he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he still hesitated for a moment.If this matter is done properly, not only will he get rid of the thorn in his side, but he will have a comfortable life for the rest of his life no matter what he says in front of the emperor.Whether it is misfortune or blessing is at this moment, and it cannot be messed up.

Thinking about it carefully, he had to stand firm first, and An Dehai made such a big mistake because he relied on his favor and did not act according to the rules.The lesson from the past is right in front of us, how can we see it but not see it? Therefore, he hurriedly found Zhang Wenliang, bowed his waist and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, I have told you that Xiao Anzi is about to finish playing! Just now, Lord Long Live asked me to go up and ask Master Liu to enter the palace immediately. It was Lord Long Live who confessed to me face to face. You can always pretend to be confused. In case something happens, I will admit it. I am the only one who is unlucky, and there is absolutely nothing involved. However, Lord Long Live was raised by you. Today Long Live Lord has been thinking about this matter for many years, so just wait and see!"

Knowing what he was talking about, Zhang Wenliang was shocked, closed his mouth tightly, thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Boy, you are a character. I have to follow! You go, the faster you go, the faster you go!" Alright, here I will maintain it." The so-called "maintenance" is to respond.With Zhang Wenliang's words, Xiao Li can rest assured, greeted him with a smile, and left the palace. Before leaving Shenwumen, he changed his mind again.It took a long time for a person to go to Mingshan's house first, and then to Prince Gong's mansion, so he arrested a reliable person and told him to go to Mingshan's house to inform him that there was a decree, so he quickly entered the palace and waited outside the Longzong gate, and then he found it himself. A horse went straight to Jianyuan in Daxiangfeng Hutong to meet Prince Gong.

Xiao Li also knew that Prince Gong had always been honest with the eunuchs, and he might not be able to see him if he asked for an audience, so he had already made up his mind, got off his horse at the gate of Jianyuan, and explained to the guards of the palace that he would pass on the secret decree. To see Prince Gong in person. This move is very effective. Prince Gong is making an appointment with Wenxiang, Baojun, and officials from the Prime Minister's Office of International Affairs to discuss the matter of Russian merchant ships berthing at the mouth of the Hulan River and requesting trade with the interior of Jilin and Heilongjiang.Hearing that it was a secret decree, he went out alone.After Xiao Li greeted him, he stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" It was inconvenient for Xiao Li to put on a show of decree, so he bowed his waist and said, "Sixth Master, please sit down. I have a few words to return to Sixth Master." "Oh!" Prince Gong sat down, waved his hand to block the girl who came to hold tea, "tell me, there is no one here." "Yes!" Xiao Li said softly, "I don't know where there is a note, it's about Xiao Anzi, Long Live Lord asked Liu Ye to bring the Minister of Internal Affairs and enter the palace immediately." Prince Gong Qu Ran raised his eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Where do we meet?" "The Palace of Mental Cultivation." Xiao Li said again, I was afraid of wasting time, so I asked someone else to inform Master Ming to go directly to the palace and wait for the sixth master in the court room. " "I'll go." Prince Gong got up and asked again: "You two empress dowagers, do you know about this?" "What if the east side doesn't know? The west side probably doesn't know yet." Prince Gong's face sank: "Don't talk like this next time! What's east or west?" "Yes!" Xiao Li sincerely agreed. "come!" As soon as Prince Gong called out, a young servant in a very crisp navy blue cloth gown came in and naturally stood by his side, waiting for orders. "Reward him with twenty taels of silver." So Xiao Li asked An to thank him again, and said at the same time: "I will serve the sixth master to enter the palace?" "No need!" Prince Gong thought for a while and then said: "You should play back to the emperor first, and ask the emperor to summon the military plane as well." "Yes! I'll go back and talk right away." As soon as Xiao Li left, Prince Gong immediately invited Wen Xiang and Bao Jun over, and said quietly: "Xiao Anzi is almost finished! It must be that Zhihuang has a note, and I will meet you immediately. When I come down, there may still be military planes." Together', you go with me first, and I will send someone to notify Lan Sun and Jing Sheng." Wen Xiang was very calm, while Bao Jun slapped his thigh and said a word loudly: "Okay!" "Look," Prince Gong asked again, "Who still needs to be notified?" "The Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Bao Jun quickly said. "It has been notified." "I think, let's inform Rong Zhonghua to make preparations before the wind leaks out!" Wen Xiang said slowly. Prince Gong understood what he meant, An Dehai would definitely be accused of ransacking the house, the so-called preparation meant sending infantry to lead Rong Lu, the left-wing general of the Yamen, and sending troops to guard An's house first.This is a very necessary treatment, not only to prevent Anjia from getting news and concealing property, but also to prevent them from annihilating criminal evidence.Others can still do it, but to punish An Dehai for his crime, there must be clear evidence of the crime. "Your thoughtfulness is thorough!" Prince Gong nodded his approval, "Well, it's just you working hard, and then go to the palace as soon as you're done. Peiheng and I will go first." So Prince Gong changed his official uniform, passed the sedan chair and Bao Yun into the palace, Ming Shan had already waited at the military plane, rushed forward as soon as they met, and said in a low voice: "The superior has urged you several times. Master Liu, what's the matter? " "Xiao Anzi's matter was committed!" Prince Gong replied in a low voice, "You don't need to talk later." "Yes!" Mingshan took the opportunity to say hello, "Sixth Master, you can't hide anything from you, you always have to speak for the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Before King Gong could answer, Xiao Li came running out of breath, saluting and saluting, and said in a relieved voice: "The sixth master is here! Please go up, you are losing your temper!" Upon hearing this, Prince Gong didn't care much, but Ming Shan murmured fiercely in his heart.But at this time, it is inconvenient to ask Xiao Li more questions, just thinking all the way, what will the emperor say, and how should I answer?It's easy to deal with the emperor's temper, but there is no way to hinder the Empress Dowager Cixi.It seems that to please the emperor will offend the "superior", and there is a stake in it, so there must be a choice. The decision has not yet been made, and the person has already arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the place where the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces of the East Nuan Pavilion usually sits, and the emperor is already sitting on the yellow chair in front of the imperial case.After Prince Gong and Ming Shan had performed their salutes, he first asked Ming Shan: "Xiao Anzi left Beijing privately, do you know?" Ming Shan thought to himself that Lai cannot be relied on, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "I have a little rumor about it." "What do you mean by 'slightly rumored'? The first thing you say is that you want to shirk responsibility." Hitting a snag head-on, Ming Shan really felt vigilant and fearful. The emperor is not young anymore, so he can no longer be regarded as his "child".Young people like to speak frankly, so he replied honestly and wittily: "My servant knows." "Since you know, why don't you stop him?" Isn't this asking knowingly?The emperor knew about An Dehai leaving Beijing, so why didn't he stop him?Thinking about it this way, Mingshan understands that the emperor deliberately sang a show in order to explain something in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he should answer in his tone. "It's the slave's fault." He replied, "Because An Dehai told people that he was leaving Beijing under Yi's order, and the slave didn't dare to stop him." "He is a false pass, don't you know? Don't you think about it, the two empress dowagers are so wise, and everything is done according to the law of the ancestors, would there be such a disorderly life?" Prince Gong nodded secretly. The emperor's words were very good, and he raised the big hat of "ancestral family law". It's easier to do things. Seeing that Ming Shan bowed his head and didn't answer, Prince Gong said, "I don't know what's going on yet? Please tell the emperor clearly why, and I will discuss the method before I invite the Holy Judge." "You see!" Prince Gong took the memorial, and in order for Mingshan to understand it, he read it aloud, and then handed in the memorial. "You said, in the past two hundred and forty years of this dynasty, has there ever been such an eunuch who acted so recklessly and was a jerk to the extreme?" "Please appease your majesty." Prince Gong advised, "How to deal with this matter must be properly accounted for." "What else is there to calculate? If people like this are not killed, who should be killed?" Mingshan had heard countless times that the emperor wanted to kill An Dehai, but now that he heard it clearly from him, he felt different, and couldn't help shivering. "What's the matter?" The emperor saw it with sharp eyes, pointed at Ming Shan angrily and asked, "Shouldn't Xiao Anzi be killed?" "The servant dare not disobey the order. But..." He didn't say any more, but knelt down. "What?" the emperor asked, "Are you pleading for Xiao Anzi?" "I don't dare. But Xiao Anzi is the person in charge of the Palace of the Holy Mother, please be extra merciful, Your Majesty." The emperor was so angry that he almost wanted to kick him!He obviously wanted to kill An Dehai in his heart, but he spoke hypocrisy and hypocrisy. When these words reached the ears of Empress Dowager Cixi, wouldn't it appear that he was not filial? Thinking of this, the emperor was furious. He leaned down and almost pointed his finger at Mingshan's nose: "Since you know the person who is under the empress dowager's throne, why didn't you persuade Xiao Anzi to stop messing around? Why didn't you stop him? Teach him to break the law? Aren’t the eunuchs under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? What are you in charge of?” At this point, he turned to Prince Gong and said, “Uncle Six! Deal with An Dehai first, and then the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!” This thunderous anger frightened Mingshan into bumping into each other again and again.The emperor sneered and ignored him, and Prince Gong hated him for talking too much, so he pretended not to see it, and just replied: "An Dehai violated the regulations and left Beijing, so naturally he must be dealt with strictly. I don't know much about the laws and regulations in this regard. Please ask for an order." , can I summon the military aircraft and ask everyone what they mean?" "Now," the emperor hesitated, "Is it too late to find them now?" "It's too late!" Prince Gong replied, "I have informed them to enter the palace to wait for the order, and they will probably be here by now." "That's good. Let them in!" The emperor turned his head and said, "Mingshan! Go down. I don't need you here! " "Yes!" Ming Shan knelt down and exited.Although he encountered a big setback, he felt very comfortable in his heart, An Dehai would die without a doubt, while Empress Dowager Cixi was acquitted, both inside and outside were occupied.As for the emperor's displeasure, you might as well find a way to coax him later. When the four ministers of military aircraft came to visit, King Gong first explained the process, and then the emperor named them one by one for consultation.Both Bao Jun and Shen Guifen said that they "handle it according to the order", while Wen Xiang and Li Hongzao have other Chen Zou, one thinks it can clean up the bureaucracy, and the other laments the scourge of the eunuchs of the previous generation, both of which support the emperor's intention.Naturally, no one mentioned Empress Dowager Cixi. "Master," the emperor asked Li Hongzao, "what does 'three-legged crow' mean?" Li Hongzao knew that the emperor was asking the question knowingly, because he clearly remembered the allusion of "the envoy of the blue bird". Weng Tonghe once told the emperor. Your Majesty, there is no need to pursue this further." The emperor nodded, and after listening to his master's persuasion, he sneered again: "Xiao Anzi usually pretends to pass on the decree, and he doesn't know how much money he has given away! There must be some prohibited things in his house. Before the outside world knows it, copy it first." his home!" "Yes!" Prince Gong replied, "I will do it immediately." "Where's Anzi?" Prince Gong didn't want to say a word to kill An Dehai from his own mouth, so he turned his face and said: "Peiheng, you play back with the emperor." Bao Yun thought about it for a while and said: "There are three ways here. First, take the question to Beijing; second, interrogate him on the spot; third, rectify the law on the spot, so there is no need to ask him, lest he talk nonsense." "By the way, what else do you ask?" The emperor decided decisively: "The third method is to use it, and send an order to Ding Baozhen immediately." So on the one hand, Wenxiang notified Ronglu to copy An Dehai's home that night; Governor. When the manuscript was presented, the emperor felt excited and heavy.This is the first time he has ruled on "state affairs", and it is entirely out of his own considerations, his thoughts are turned into words, and words are turned into words on paper. Sincerely.This kind of taste was something he had never experienced before, and only after experiencing it now did he know that this taste was irreplaceable. Because of this, he read the draft with special attention, and after reading it once, he was sure that he could punctuate it, so he read it softly: "The Minister of Military Aircraft sent the letters to the governors of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu provinces and the governors of water transportation: I received a secret edict. According to Ding Baozhen's play: "The eunuch claimed to be dispatched by order, ostentatious and incited, and the authenticity is not discernible. Now we will investigate and deal with it. It was heard by the post office that it was a discount. It is said that on July 20 this year, two Taiping boats and several small boats came from the north and sailed into Shandong Province. , acting suspiciously, sent secret visits, it is said that he is an eunuch surnamed An. Either it is a fake messenger, or it is an excuse to leave privately, the authenticity is not discernible, it has been ordered to be seized, and the province will interrogate, please follow the order' and other words He was astonished to see that the eunuch had left without permission and had committed various illegal activities. If he was not punished severely, why should he be punished by the officials and serve as an example? Ding Baozhen quickly sent officers to the place where he belonged to, and put Lan Ling in peace. The surname is an eunuch, and they will be closely investigated. Order the followers to testify that the evidence is true, without interrogation, and the law will be executed on the spot, and they are not allowed to play tricks. If the eunuch hears the news and returns to the straight state, or sneaks to Henan, Jiangsu and other places, he will immediately write Zeng Guofan and others belonged to one body and strictly upheld the righteous law. His followers and others, who were close to the bandits, were strictly punished and punished separately. There is no need to ask for an order. Let this be known from the decree of each of the six hundred miles. This is it!" The emperor nodded old-fashionedly: "The writing is quite good. But I have to add one sentence." "Yes!" Prince Gong agreed, while watching Bao Yun pouted at the case. Bao Yun understood, bent his body, took a vermilion pen from the imperial case, and offered it with both hands. "It's better for you to write," the emperor ordered: "add this sentence:'If there is negligence, only the governor should ask.'" "Yes!" Bao Yun repeated: "'If there is neglect, only the governor should ask.'" The courtiers were not allowed to touch the imperial pen, so Bao Jun put the vermilion pen back to the imperial case, took the manuscript, went back to the porch, added that sentence, went back into the hall, and presented it to the imperial court, at this time it was not a manuscript. It's "Ting Ji". "When can I go to Shandong?" the emperor asked, pointing to the Tingji in his hand. Prince Gong had never been out of the province of Zhili, so Wen Xiang replied: "Tomorrow night, I will definitely be able to reach Jinan." "Okay!" The emperor specially urged: "Tell the Ministry of War that it must be delivered tomorrow night." "Yes!" Prince Gong agreed, hesitating to speak. "Uncle Six!" the emperor asked with concern, "What else do you have to say?" "Your Majesty, I'm going to pay my respects to the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager right now, and report this incident in a tactful way." These words reminded the emperor, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.Killing An Dehai would be a pleasure, but going to hear about it with Empress Dowager Cixi is a big problem. Think about it, it's not convenient to discuss things like this with Prince Gong, so I said: "Understood. If there is nothing else, you can go down and do business!" As soon as Prince Gong left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor immediately consulted Xiao Li about how to deal with the problem. As soon as he saw the emperor, Xiao Li smiled and kowtowed first.The former imperial eunuch, familiar with informality, usually just greets you, and only kowtows when it is more solemn, like the emperor recovering from a minor illness, then you have to kowtow to greet you.Therefore, Xiao Li kowtowed to congratulate the emperor. "Where have you gone?" asked the emperor. "The slave is outside asking for news." The one who inquired was of course An Dehai's news, and the emperor asked again: "Xiao Anzi's house, have you copied it?" "I've been copying it for a long time." Xiao Li replied, "I heard that Liu Ye and Wen Shangshu had already made preparations. Before entering the palace, they sent someone to guard his house. Even a mouse can't escape!" The emperor felt very happy and praised him greatly: "Good! He is very good at handling things." Then he asked: "Who did you send?" "General Rong." The emperor knew that he was talking about Ronglu.So a very vivid image immediately appeared in his mind, from manner, clothing to speech, everything was beautiful.Although Rong Lu didn't have the errand of "walking in the inner court", he "pressed" a horse for the emperor once, and at that time, the emperor deeply imprinted this person in his mind. "Xiao Li," the emperor's smile faded, "the matter has been settled, and there must be an explanation to the superior. Look, how should I say this!" When asked about this level, Xiao Li replied vigorously: "Long Live Lord, don't worry, the slave has already made plans for Long Live Lord, and I guarantee that the Queen Mother will not be angry with Long Live Lord." "That's good!" the emperor said happily, "Speak quickly!" "Long Live Lord, stay calm, ignore this trouble for now, and wait for the Queen Mother to ask, just play back like this..." Xiao Li had already gone to the House of Internal Affairs to ask for advice from an expert. At that time, he leaned over and whispered secretly in the ear of the emperor.Seeing the emperor's sad expression disappearing, he nodded and said: "Okay! Let's do it like this! After the matter is over, I have a reward." So Xiao Li knelt down again, "Long Live Lord wants to reward the slave, and the slave should thank you first." After kowtowing, he continued: "Long Live Lord doesn't need to reward anything else, but reward the slave with some of Xiao Anzi's fun things." "Okay!" said the emperor, "Let's pass on the meal! I have a big appetite today, so I'll go to Yuzi to see if there's anything delicious, and I'll ask for two." Xiao Li agreed to go to the small kitchen of the Changchun Palace, and ordered two dishes that the emperor liked to eat. After serving the meal, while drinking tea, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent someone to summon the emperor. Xiao Li was vigilant, and led the eunuch who came to convey Yi's decree to a secluded place, and asked quietly. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Cixi had received the news that An Dehai's house had been ransacked, so she specially summoned the emperor to ask about it. "Go up!" Xiao Li strongly encouraged the emperor, "The empress dowager loses her temper, it's just like a thunderstorm in spring, it will pass in a flash." "Hmm, um!" The emperor was really afraid of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but until now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do what Xiao Li said, so he encouraged himself, raised his chest, held his head up, and acted righteously. ※ ※ ※ The Empress Dowager Cixi was reclining on the couch in disobedience, when the emperor looked in from the door, he saw sickness and anger, and his complexion was very ugly.Fear in my heart made my pace involuntarily slow. "Long live God has come to greet the master." A court lady said to the Empress Dowager Cixi. "Huh!" Empress Dowager Cixi sneered and turned her face away. Of course the emperor saw this situation, hesitated for a moment, but still forced himself to be calm, walked to the front of the soft couch with a calm pace, greeted him, and called softly as usual: "Emperor Niang!" The Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly turned her face, the veins on her forehead were faintly pulsating, with her pair of calm but majestic phoenix eyes, and her already tall cheekbones, which became more protruding due to illness and weight loss, it is very cute to describe. terror.The emperor had never seen her look like this before, so he couldn't help but tremble a little, but there was a wonderful supporting force in his heart, even though he was trembling, his face was raised upwards. This seemed to be the spirit of rebellion, and the Empress Dowager Cixi became more and more angry, and asked sharply: "Your wings have grown hard, haven't they?" The emperor also noticed that he should lower his head, but raised his face back, which was too arrogant, so he quickly knelt down on the ground, and said in a flustered voice, "Why is the empress so angry? You don't feel well... " Before he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Cixi interrupted with a sneer: "Hmph! I know it's just trying to anger me while I'm sick. Don't wishful thinking! I can't die." The tone is serious, and it doesn't point at the emperor specifically, it has more overtones.The emperor could hear it, but he didn't dare to explain it. He just shouted again and again: "Emperor mother, emperor mother, my son made a mistake, just teach me a lesson, don't be angry!" He calmed down a little, "I'm asking you," the voice was still high, but without the harshness, "You decided to copy Xiao Anzi's house, didn't you?" After the experience of violent wind and rain, thunderbolt and lightning, the emperor became more courageous, and his voice became calm, "Yes!" He replied slowly, "I didn't dare to let the empress mother know. Little Anzi swaggered all the way. , Lawless, Ding Baozhen made a note. Hmph, " The emperor made a wry smile on purpose, "Xiao Anzi can really make people sick!" "Where are the folds?" The emperor handed over the booklet, and the court lady moved the lamp. The Empress Dowager Cixi only read a few lines, and she was really furious. Gold stars exploded on her forehead, and she was pierced by countless steel needles. She was dizzy and couldn't read any more. She closed her eyes and said: "Get up and read to me." "Yes!" The emperor agreed, getting up and rubbing his knees. "Bring a stool to the emperor!" Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the maid from the side. So the court lady brought over a low red sandalwood stool, and the emperor sat and read Ding Baozhen's scriptures. The Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes and listened, the veins on her forehead throbbed even more violently.After listening to it, she asked: "What's 'Hi-shaped Three-legged Crow'? What does that little flag mean?" "Little Anzi is ungrateful and deserves to die, that's it." The emperor gritted his teeth and cursed, meaning to be unfair for Empress Dowager Cixi. Then, he briefly told the allusion of the blue bird as "the Queen Mother of the West eats food", and then He also said: "This allusion is very common. Not to mention that the local officials who came from the right way understand it, so do the common people who have studied a few words. The master dotes on Xiao Anzi so much, and Xiao Anzi puts up such an autumn wind for the master outside. Think It's chilling to think about!" Empress Dowager Cixi's face was as white as a piece of paper, and when she opened her eyes, they were red. "I heard that you summoned a military plane," she asked, "what do you say?" "The six-hundred-mile court mail has been dispatched. No matter where Xiao Anzi is caught, if he is identified, there is no need for interrogation, and he will be executed on the spot." As soon as the speech was over, the lights dimmed, and someone exclaimed. It was Qinger who accidentally knocked over a lamp. From the empress dowager to the maids, all eyes were on her face at this moment. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes were wide open. I don't know whether it was fear, regret or Totally freaked out. There was a burst of astonishment, followed by enlightenment, everyone knew in their hearts that Qing Er was surprised and missed when she heard that her "big brother" An Dehai had been executed for the emperor.Serving as a errand in the palace is considered a huge mistake, and it happened at the time when the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, so the maids in the palace squeezed their palms for her. The emperor felt sorry for her, but seeing Empress Dowager Cixi's face, he didn't dare to speak.The Empress Dowager Cixi kept her mouth tightly shut, and looked sideways at Qing'er. After a period of dead silence, she suddenly broke out. "Fork it out!" She shouted hastily, "Call someone to beat him, and beating him to death will count!" Qing'er opened her mouth to cry, but she didn't dare.The emperor couldn't bear it so much, he forced a smile and shouted: "Emperor Niang...". Before he could say anything, the Empress Dowager Cixi stopped him loudly and said, "Mind your own business!" Then she rolled her eyes. The maids who were swept away all shivered, and all of them came to "cross" Qing'er.She seemed to still be struggling to come back and beg for mercy, but those maids couldn't tolerate her, some pushed, some dragged, and some covered her mouth with their hands.After getting outside the door, with the help of eunuchs, Qing'er became more and more hopeless. Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to have to vent her anger on Qing'er at the right time, so her expression softened, but the expression was not so frightening, and her face was still as stiff as if she had been scalded with an iron, "That's right. Damn Xiao Anzi!" She said to the emperor, "But you should tell me! Who allowed you to summon the military aircraft privately?" "I originally wanted to play back with the Queen Mother, but I was really afraid that the Queen Mother would be upset and would not be able to get angry again. So after thinking about it, I would rather be punished by the Queen Mother than keep it a secret for now." "Hmph! I don't see how filial you are." The emperor knelt down again, "Mother Huang Er said so, it must be because of my disobedience in ordinary times." The emperor said, "Mother Huang Er said, I will correct it." Mother and child, the Empress Dowager Cixi sighed after thinking for a long time, "Get up! Let me ask you again, have you ever gone back to that side?" "That side" refers to the Empress Dowager Ci'an. The emperor quickly and firmly replied: "No!" This made Empress Dowager Cixi feel better, "What did your sixth uncle say?" she asked. The emperor thought for a while and replied: "The sixth uncle's meaning seems to be that he can't make the decision alone, and everyone should discuss it together." "So it was your sixth uncle's idea to summon the military aircraft." Empress Dowager Cixi asked again, "What did Wen Xiang say?" "It is said that the two empress dowagers have worked so hard to achieve this situation today, and Xiao Anzi cannot be spoiled by himself." This sentence is more or less true, and the following sentence was taught by Xiao Li: "Again, Xiao Anzi There is still room for Anzi to go out of Beijing without permission, but he must die under the guise of a 'three-legged crow'. Otherwise, he will be dishonored." "That's all." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Little Anzi is a person who has made great achievements, so I look at him differently. Who knows that his fate is so small, 'If you do your own crimes, you can't live', I don't have anything in mind! " "My son can feel at ease when the emperor's mother said so." The emperor was really relieved. "Go back to sleep! Go to the study tomorrow, don't mention this to the masters." The emperor agreed, knelt down and withdrew.When he came, his steps were staggering, when he went, he walked briskly, he was very proud of himself, but at the same time he was also a little surprised that he could handle this turmoil, even he couldn't believe it. Of course, the emperor didn't forget about Xiao Li. It was worth giving him a blue plume in terms of meritorious deeds, but he didn't need to say this in front of everyone, so he just let Xiao Li support the soft sedan chair and slowly return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Walking halfway, I suddenly thought that I should report a letter to the Empress Dowager Ci'an, so I hurriedly patted the handrail and shouted: "Wait a minute, don't go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, go to Changchun Palace." Xiao Li felt that he wanted to avoid being seen, so he turned around and bent over, and replied: "It's getting late today, the empress mother and the empress dowager have probably rested, so let's go to pay my respects tomorrow morning!" "It's just getting dark, why is it late?" the emperor said, "I'll leave right away after I ask you to be safe." The emperor couldn't resist, so he had to go to the Changchun Palace, and met Yuzi head-on, she greeted her with a smile and said, "Long Live Lord has a big appetite today!" "That's right! Your bowl of ham and winter melon soup is really good." The emperor said happily, "I'll reward you with some interesting things tomorrow." So Yuzi invited An Xieen again, before she stood up, she only heard the voice of Empress Dowager Ci'an: "Is the emperor here?" "Yes!" Yuzi answered loudly, and hurried forward, pushed open the palace door that had just been closed, and guided the emperor into the palace.
