The Empress Dowager Cixi naturally cried bitterly with the Empress Dowager Ci'an, Emperor Tongzhi had this disease, and neither of them could shirk their responsibilities, Ci'an was too doting, more than Cixi's biological mother, she loved Emperor Tongzhi more, Cixi was consciously indulgent to the emperor and Zaicheng fooling around, otherwise, the emperor wanted to go out of the palace and contracted this disease, is this an easy thing The excuse of Emperor Tongzhi and Zaicheng was to inspect the Summer Palace project, but what kind of person is the Empress Dowager Cixi, this kind of pediatric excuse, How could she deceive her, she really didn't expect to be infected with this kind of dirty disease, otherwise, Cixi would kill the emperor, it would really be a minute.The two of them couldn't discuss anything, and the big right and wrong were the top of the matter, and the Empress Dowager Cixi still had to make up her mind.Cixi's idea was to delay the day, and second, to speed up the pace and prepare to set up a new monarch.The candidate for the new monarch, there is no need to think about it, in fact, Cixi's choice is very narrow, except for the children born to her own sister, she has no close relatives to cultivate.When it comes to delaying the day, there are always a few days left, so that it will not be in danger.Empress Dowager Ci'an doesn't understand anything, "Is it the son of Prince Zaixiang" Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Yes, sister, do you think, if it's Puzi's generation, what should we do and how can we continue to listen to politics in this world, it's already like this, if I let it go and hand it over to the new hands, this world, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a year, I really want to ignore anything." ”The Empress Dowager Cixi's words burst into tears, which provoked the Empress Dowager Ci'an to hug Cixi and comfort her."
Sister, in the past few years, I have suffered you, alas, how can the emperor be like this, I blame me, I can't help anything, and I haven't been optimistic about the emperor yet.""
Sister, don't say that, if there is anything, let's face it together."
The Empress Dowager Cixi also revealed her true feelings.In fact, in history, Cixi was good to Ci'an, and Ci'an was definitely not killed by Cixi, because with Ci'an's ability, it did not pose the slightest threat to the Empress Dowager Cixi.The two men began to cry again as they spoke.Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, the emperor's illness had changed drastically and he had entered a coma.The whole palace is busy, frightened, all busy, no one knows what to do, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't think about blocking the news, the main thing is that there is no point, she controls the power, the sooner it is resolved, the better.Cixi hurriedly sent people to inform them separately that the relatives of the close branches, the minister of military aircraft, the minister of the imperial front, the master who walked in the Hongde Hall and the south study Hanlin arrived one after another.But seeing the dusk remnants, obliquely wiping the corners of the temple, returning to the crows in three or two, perched on the wall, "wow" screaming, up and down the stairs of the corridor, the face of the first arrived was solemn, and the second arrived was frightened and asked.Li Lianying rushed in and out, sweating all over her head.Suddenly, a famous eunuch hurriedly flashed out and announced in a low voice: "The Queen Mother summons." ”Li Lianying hurriedly entered the Xinuan Pavilion, and the princes and ministers who had already knelt on the ground, and the queen mother of the two palaces were already in tears, covering their mouths with handkerchiefs, not daring to cry.I only heard Li Lianying saying: "No, long live him, no one will recognize him" "What to do" Empress Dowager Cixi stammered and asked.Weng Tongyi, who was kneeling behind, raised his head, looked at Li Lianying, and asked loudly: "Why don't you use the elixir" At this time, I still use a hairy elixir.Li Lianying and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces said in their hearts that they couldn't pry their teeth open, and even the medicine of the gods didn't work."
Hooray, I can't do it."
A eunuch came over in a panic and knelt down.Hearing this, no one cared about the etiquette of the temple anymore, and they all stood up and staggered to the Dongnuan Pavilion.When I entered the room, I saw that the emperor was sitting with a eunuch holding him, his eyes closed, and there was an imperial doctor holding a medicine bowl with a bright yellow colored dragon, and another imperial doctor holding a pair of silver chopsticks, all standing on both sides of the imperial couch as if they were stupid.Seeing this, they were all stunned.When the ministers met, there were all kinds of different situations, or in the palace, or in the line, they all knew how to deal with themselves, only like this, but they didn't know what to do, some knelt down and kowtowed, some wanted to inquire about the end, and only one person rushed forward to look at the royal appearance, this person was Weng Tongyi.At this sight, a heart hung up, and he stretched out a trembling hand, and poked between the emperor's mouth and nose with bated breath, and then paused, holding his head in both hands, and cried loudly.This cry is mourning.So inside and outside the hall, the crying shook the sky, while crying, the other side has begun to do funerals, picking tassels, unloading palace lamps, changing chairs and drapes, not yet dressed, just remove bright colors.And the name of "great funeral", it is not a big event, the big thing is that the emperor is there in the Qing Dynasty since Kangxi 51 October, the second abolition of the prince Yunren, imprisoned after the Xian'an Palace, since then do not build the East Palace, the new monarch, in the lifetime of the Emperor Daxing, the title of the book, hidden in the "Golden Jade Box".Once the emperor died, the first major event was to open this "golden jade box", but the Tongzhi Emperor had no children, the Qing Dynasty's father died and his son succeeded, and the emperor lineage was passed down from generation to generation"The eunuchs and palace maids are all avoided, and in the Xinuan Pavilion is Rong Lu's secret plan for the queen mother of the two palaces.After half an hour like this, I saw him hurriedly leave the palace, returned to the court room of the Internal Affairs Office, and opened a list with a blue pen, first of all, the close relatives and nobles: Prince Yi Xuan, Prince Gong Yixun, Prince Yi Xun, Prince Yi Xun, Wang Yi of Fu County, the fifth son of the "old fifth lady" Mianyu, the fifth son of the "old fifth lady" Mianyu, the king of Huijun Wang Yi Shen, the eldest grandson of Xuanzong, Beile Zaizhi, the eldest son of Prince Gong, and Yi Xiang's younger brother Zhenguo Gong Yimo; Then there are the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Minister of the Imperial Front, the Minister of the Interior, the South Study Hanlin, Xu Tong, Weng Tong, Li Hongzao who walked in the Hongde Palace, and Wang Qingqi, who is so red and purple, and now that he is about to turn black, a total of twenty-nine, which can be regarded as a "family" of the royal family.After the list was opened, Rong Lu sent a special person to pass on Yi's decree and immediately summoned him to the palace.Of these 29 people, at least half of them remained in the palace, and almost all of them were Han Chinese, and among the Manchurian ministers, only one Wen Xiang, because of his illness and weakness, was stimulated by this "heavenly shock", and could not support it, so he went home to rest.Needless to say, this is a discussion of the establishment of a new king.In a hurry, I don't know how to make this plan and there is no possibility of private discussion, and it is true that it is a great opportunity to maintain wealth and nobility since ancient times, but there is no one to support.t1706231537:
