Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 228 Su Yi and the Queen Mother! Settled!
Although the design of this airship in Jiujiang is much more advanced than the Zeppelin airship produced more than thirty years later.

When landing, stop the power and rely on inertia to make almost no sound. But once it starts, the sound is very loud.

"Da da da da..."

Although the area was relatively quiet, it still disturbed many people.

"What happened?"

"Something happened with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Suddenly, many guards rushed towards the residence of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Because it was too dark to see clearly.

"Set off fireworks, set off fireworks!"

Following the command, the fireworks shot up into the sky.

This, this is okay.

Soon, the airship flew higher and higher.

Everyone in the pod breathed a sigh of relief.

In another direction, on the ground in the dark night, someone opened fire, and dense bullets were fired towards the airship.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Instantly lit up the night sky.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What can happen to me? You, are you crazy?"

"Fire!"

Princess Shou'an reached out to touch Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "Empress Dowager, are you okay?"

At this moment, many soldiers on the ground were really blinded.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said to Princess Shou'an: "You are crazy. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

No one made a sound in the corner where the fire was fired, and it was impossible to see who was responsible in this dark night.

As for Princess Shou'an, Zhu Sanniang also used her own body to block the Queen Mother.

But the airship quickly turned into dark clouds and immediately disappeared.

The little emperor found himself in the sky and was extremely excited.

It was directly out of the shooting range and headed south with full power.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

"Knock this thing down, knock it down!"

"Fire!"

And there is a dragon painted on it.

Are you kidding? The Queen Mother and the Emperor are inside, who dares to open fire?
And at this time.

At this time, it was rising into the sky and flying away.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Then, everyone was stunned.

Isn't this just a flying dragon?

Princess Shou'an said loudly: "On September 15th, the emperor will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. He has announced it to the world, told the ancestors, and told heaven and earth. If you don't arrive, heaven and earth will blame you, and the ancestors will blame you. "

Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly had an extremely complicated expression. She looked at Princess Shou'an and said, "You, you, you are going crazy."

"Huang Eni, I'm fine, it's fun, we are in the sky, it's fun..."

"Protect the emperor, protect the queen mother..."

Heigong immediately used his body to completely block the little emperor.

Oh my God? !
This...this thing can actually fly?

"Bang bang bang..." Strings of fireworks exploded in the air.

At the same time, the troops from the Chengde Palace mobilized frantically and ran wildly along the south.

At this time, Empress Dowager Ci'an woke up faintly, and the emperor also woke up.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Crazy, crazy!
Someone really dared to open fire.

"Time is tight, so I summoned the flying dragon to send the emperor to the capital to worship heaven. Who dares to stop me?"

Fireworks were constantly set off on the road, trying to illuminate the direction of the airship.

"Zaichun, are you okay, are you okay..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said tremblingly.

Another group of fireworks takes off. Who is in this pod? It seems to be the Queen Mother, it seems to be the Emperor.

Princess Shou'an felt her hands were wet and said, "Light the fire, light the fire."

The fire lit up.

Princess Shou'an saw that the palm of her hand was a bright red and full of blood.

"Xiaofen, are you okay, are you okay!" Princess Shou'an said in panic, checking Empress Dowager Ci'an's body up and down.

As a result, the Queen Mother was fine.

Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but touch Princess Shouan's back.

Suddenly, I felt a wet patch.

"Fourth sister, you were shot!"

Princess Shou'an said: "Oh, as long as you're fine, that's fine!"

Then, the whole person collapsed.

..............................

A few hours later!
The airship landed at Qianqing Palace Square.

Several people immediately carried Princess Shou'an into the palace.

"Master Su Yi, hurry, hurry, Princess Shou'an has been shot."

Su Yi's face changed drastically and she said loudly: "Quick, quick, go and call the female military doctor."

"Give me a hand and I'll do the surgery myself!"

Next, Su Yi personally operated on Princess Shou'an and removed the bullet from her back.

Then, go to see Empress Dowager Ci'an.

The little emperor has gone to sleep.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi, comes to see the Queen Mother." Su Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"How is Fourth Sister?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

"It's okay." Su Yi said.

Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Su Yi with extremely complicated eyes and said slowly: "Now, the emperor and I have become your puppets, right?"

Su Yi said: "No."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Isn't it?"

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What do you want to do next?"

Su Yi said: "Let the Emperor attend the heaven-sacrifice ceremony first, and then it won't be about what I want. It's about what the Queen Mother wants."

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked: "What do you mean?"

Su Yi said: "After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the Queen Mother can do whatever she wants. I will abide by any of your wishes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Really?"

Su Yi said: "Really.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What if I want you to lead the army out of the capital?"

Su Yi said: "Then I will lead the army to leave the capital."

"I don't believe it." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Su Yi said: "Anyway, that day will come soon."

Ci'an said: "Okay, I'm going to take a rest. Please step back."

"Yes." Su Yi stepped back.

Not to rest, but to take a bath, because the blood of Princess Shou'an is all on her body.

And I don’t know why, my whole body feels lazy and sore.

After a while.

The palace maid inside suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, Queen Mother, you are hurt..."

All I could see was a scratch on Empress Dowager Ci'an from her waist to her snow-white buttocks.

Is this a scratch mark? !

"It's okay, it's okay..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Don't make any fuss. Just ask the doctor to get some ointment and apply it on it."

Then, think back to what you just experienced.

Empress Dowager Ci'an only felt waves of fear.

At that time, on the ground of the Chengde Palace, even though he knew she and the emperor were in the pod, he still fired.

Moreover, they deliberately did not make any sound when they fired at these people.

In order to keep her and the emperor, don't you care about her and the little emperor's life?

If it hadn't been for Fourth Sister, I'm afraid he would have been shot.

Because the injury was relatively private and very minor, she asked the palace maid to prescribe some ointment and apply it on the wound.

At this special moment, it's best to keep quiet.

That night, Empress Dowager Ci'an had nightmares one after another.

In the dream, many people wanted to kill her.

In the dream, someone shot at her in the dark.

"Bang!" A gunshot suddenly woke her up.

Then, it was almost impossible to fall asleep again.

So he sat up, looked at the little emperor beside him, and looked at the very familiar room.

The long-lost capital.

She finally returned to the palace after a long absence.

..............................

next day!

All the civil and military officials who stayed in Beijing entered the palace one after another.

They received shocking news that their mother, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor were back.

Isn’t it in Chengde?

Actually came back?
Immediately afterwards, another even more terrifying news came.

This came from Chengde, saying that the empress dowager and the young emperor were kidnapped by Su Yi.

Is Su Yi planning to rebel?

Not only did he send troops to control the palace, but now he also kidnapped the Queen Mother and the Emperor?
Is he going to be Cao Cao?
Or Dong Zhuo?

Some officials were too scared to show up.

But more officials still came to the palace to see if the Queen Mother and the Emperor had been kidnapped by Su Yi.

........................

At this time, in the harem.

Su Yi was playing with the little emperor.

This is a child who has been extremely suppressed since childhood and has almost no happiness.

Totally devoid of childhood.

At this time, the little emperor had already put on a gorgeous dress.

Empress Dowager Ci'an also put on her official uniform, because the emperor was still young, so she, the empress dowager, needed to lead the young emperor throughout the ceremony.

Seeing Su Yi playing with the emperor, she couldn't help but frown slightly. In order to please the little emperor, did Su Yi want to indulge him and lead him in a playful direction?
As a result, she was listening.

After a while, I discovered that this was not the case at all.

Su Yi is entertaining and teaching, and what he talks about is serious and good knowledge.

But, he just picked it up at his fingertips.

A cat next to you, a butterfly outside, a random story.

He can combine many principles into it.

The little emperor listened with great interest.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an walked out, and the little emperor rushed over and said: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, I will tell you a story about breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly."

Next, the little emperor babbled out the story.

He said how ugly the butterfly was at first, how hard it was, and how long it took to work hard. Then it bit out of the cocoon and flew out, turning into a beautiful butterfly and flying freely.

"The emperor spoke very well." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Let's go out and play. I have something to say to Mr. Su."

The little emperor asked: "Where is aunt?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Auntie is still sleeping."

Soon, Empress Dowager Ci'an's confidants in the palace took the young emperor out directly.

Empress Dowager Ci'an sat upright and felt a little dizzy.

When she sat down gently, she found that the scar that she had not felt yesterday was burning with pain if she continued to do it, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, that's where the injury occurred.

"Master Su, why don't you wear official uniform?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

Su Yi said: "I don't have any official position yet."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Oh, you are indispensable for today's ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven. I will soon issue an order to confer an official position on you, so that you can also preside over the ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, it's better for Prince Hui to come to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. I'm too young and not suitable."

Empress Dowager Ci'an wondered, "You went to such great lengths to bring me and the emperor to the capital. Wasn't it to host the heaven-sacrifice ceremony? Wasn't it to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes?"
Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What official position do you want? Tell the Ai family that I can issue the decree. Of course, I only have one imperial seal in my hand, and the other half is in hers."

Su Yi said: "Let's talk about it later."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi, I'm not like her. I don't have so many twists and turns. Just tell me what you want."

Su Yi said: "Then let me make it clear to the Queen Mother. I, Su Yi, will completely obey the Queen Mother's will. After the sacrifice to heaven, you can go wherever you want. If you ask me to go back, I will go back."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent for a while and said: "I don't like to get involved in political affairs, but I also know that you are ambitious."

Su Yi said: "I have something to do, but the reason why I took the risk to bring the Emperor back this time is really just for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. I didn't even plan to bring the Queen Mother here. It was the fourth sister who made her own decision."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Tell me what you are thinking."

Su Yi said: "I want to change this country, make it strong and not be bullied by the big powers. I want to overthrow all treaties that humiliate the country. I want to take back all the territory that has been cut off. I want to make the country more powerful." Some people are living a good life."

"I set up factories and engaged in foreign affairs all for this goal. The emperor was not happy and did not allow it, so I started it myself and resigned from all official positions."

"Now that the emperor has passed away and the two queen mothers have become the new monarchs, I have come to seek the queen mother's will. If the queen mother lets me do it, I will stay in the capital. If the queen mother doesn't let me, I will leave and go back to the south."

The Queen Mother said: "What then?"

Su Yi said: "I will do it myself."

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "The Emperor went to Jiujiang to dismantle your alliance of seven southern provinces. Why didn't you dismantle it and married Liu Mei to you?"

Su Yi said: "The emperor said that if you can't be a king or a minister, you can be a relative."

Then, Su Yi asked: "Does the Emperor have a secret order to kill me?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an shook her head and said, "No, at least I don't have it here."

Then, Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, the civil and military officials should be waiting impatiently."

Empress Dowager Ci'an stood up, feeling dizzy and shaking.

Su Yi stepped forward to support you and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother was supported by Su Yi, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her mind couldn't help but recall that night.

At that time, Su Yi was a very rogue, and he even saw her body.

It's like now, very dignified.

Su Yi sent it immediately.

"You have a fever, what's wrong?" Su Yi asked.

"It's nothing." The Queen Mother said, "It's not a problem."

Su Yi said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call a military doctor right away."

The Queen Mother said: "There is no time. Let's wait until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over."

Then, she walked directly towards Qianqing Palace.

"Aren't you coming?" said Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Su Yi said: "I don't have any official position and I won't go to court."

..............................

In the Qianqing Palace.

All the civil and military officials were anxiously waiting.

Various scenes were imagining in his mind, Su Yi holding the Queen Mother and the little Emperor hostage to the palace.

He even stood next to the throne with a sword in his hand.

In short, he looks like Dong Zhuo.

"The Queen Mother is here, the Emperor is here!" the eunuch Zeng Lu shouted.

Then, I saw the Queen Mother in full uniform, holding the little emperor's hand and coming to the throne.

The Queen Mother was sitting next to the Emperor.

Everyone looked behind, where is Su Yi? There was no trace of him at all.

Wo Ren, the Minister of Rites, said: "To the Empress Dowager, there are rumors that Su Yi kidnapped the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Is this true?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "There is no such thing. I have told the world before that the emperor will sacrifice to heaven on the fifteenth day of the ninth month. You can't deceive anyone, not the ancestors, nor the heaven and the earth. These days can be changed."

When Wo Ren and all the civil and military officials heard this, they felt very comfortable.

This is true. No matter what, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven must not be delayed.

Wo Ren asked again: "What role does Su Yi play in this heaven-sacrifice ceremony?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi didn't hold any position in this heaven-sacrifice ceremony. At most, he was just guarding the emperor's safety."

Woren said: "He doesn't host sacrifices to heaven?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "He won't host it. I asked him who would be more suitable to host it."

Everyone instinctively thought of Chongen. This was the elder of the clan, and Su Yi would definitely recommend Chongen.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "He said that Prince Hui is the emperor's uncle, and he once took charge of the clan mansion and presided over the ceremony of worshiping the heaven. It is very appropriate."

All civil and military officials were even more shocked.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "In addition, Su Yi sent someone to the Chengde Palace to fetch the emperor, but he followed the instructions of the Ai family. Many people in the Chengde Palace felt that the emperor could not take the risk of coming to Beijing, so they had to postpone the ceremony. The Ai family I felt that it would be better not to postpone the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, so I gave Su Yi a secret order, and then he followed the order and went north to bring the Ai family and the emperor to the capital."

"The Ai family feels that the capital city is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so what's wrong with it?"

Immediately, Prince Hui Mianyu stepped forward and bowed: "The Queen Mother is Shengming."

This time when the emperor died, there was one biggest loser, and that was Mian Yu.

Almost furious.

what does it mean?

None of the nine ministers who care about life are as happy as me?
I am the senior and most senior person in the royal family.

Even a kid like Ronglu has become a minister who cares about life, but I am not included?
Now, he felt that the glory had returned. He presided over this heaven-sacrifice ceremony and returned to the center of the political stage.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Prince Hui, I'll leave this job to you, but it's too hasty."

Prince Hui Mianyu knelt down and said, "I obey the order."

"It's not in a hurry. Although I'm not sure whether the emperor will come, everything needed to worship heaven has been prepared."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, we have delayed the auspicious time, so we are setting off now?"

The Queen Mother said: "Okay, let's set off now."

Then, under the protection of thousands of soldiers, the Queen Mother and the Emperor boarded the dragon chariot and headed to the Temple of Heaven with hundreds of civil and military officials to worship the heaven.

On the road, countless people in the capital knelt down in the direction of the dragon chariot.

Full of curiosity.

This is the first time to see the new emperor.

Ci'an hesitated slightly. Would it be dangerous if the emperor showed up?

"Su Yi, do you want the emperor to show up?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked instinctively.

The eunuch next to him Zeng Lu said: "The Queen Mother, Master Su Yi is maintaining order and is not among the officials."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Oh, then go and ask him if the Emperor wants to show up?"

Zenglu came to Su Yi and said, "Brother, the Queen Mother asked me to come over and ask if I want all the people to pay homage to the Emperor."

Su Yi said: "Wait a moment."

Then, Su Yi came to Prince Hui Mianyu and said, "Prince Hui, I want you to make up your mind on something."

Mian Yu was slightly startled and said, "What's the matter?"

Su Yi said: "All the people want to pay homage to the Emperor's heavenly face. You are the minister of worship to heaven, so I am here to ask you for your decision."

Mian Yu thought for a while and said: "Let the Emperor show his face for a moment in the place with the most people."

Su Yi said: "Okay."

Then, Su Yi went to the eunuch Zenglu to hand over the matter instead of going directly to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Wen Xiang and Bao Jun were also among the ministers. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.

The defense of the entire capital is entirely in Su Yi's hands.

This Su Yi showed no signs of being domineering. He was not even wearing an official uniform, and was not among the ranks of officials. He was just wearing a military uniform. Among the troops, he seemed to be completely overwhelmed by the crowd's posture.

How does this look like Dong Zhuo?
How does he look like Cao Cao?
After a while, in the most crowded place, the emperor walked out of the dragon chariot.

Wave to all the people.

All civil and military officials, as well as all the people, knelt down in unison.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The little emperor stayed outside for a while and reluctantly returned to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

According to precedent, you cannot ride in a dragon chariot when going to worship heaven, you have to walk.

But the emperor was too young, and at this critical moment, he was afraid of danger, so he took a dragon carriage for a while.

But after leaving the Zhengyang Gate, the Queen Mother and the Emperor had to come down and walk to the Temple of Heaven and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you still want to return to Chengde?"

The little emperor's face fell and he said: "If you don't go back, I won't go back."

Then, the little emperor said: "Mother, when will we fly to the sky again?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then..."

She instinctively wanted to say that it was very dangerous, but when she said it was dangerous, it would leave the little emperor with the feeling that Su Yi had put him in danger.

"This is to worship heaven, so I fly into the sky. But you can't fly often, otherwise God will be unhappy." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

The Temple of Heaven is about ten miles away from the Forbidden City, but the walk was relatively slow. After a few hours, the army entered the Temple of Heaven.

All civil and military officials entered.

Finally, the Queen Mother led the Emperor up the stairs one by one.

Prince Hui Mianyu presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Gorgeous parallel prose, read for a full two-quarters of an hour.

Empress Dowager Ci'an felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

But at this critical moment, you must hold on. It would be unlucky if you fainted.

However, it is too hard to persist.

After the Tianwen recitation was completed, the solemn ceremony began.

Welcoming the Emperor God, laying jade and silk fabrics, entering the shrine, making the first gift, the second gift, the final gift, removing the meal, seeing off the Emperor God, and watching the fire.

The emperor was very young, and every step was under the guidance of Prince Hui Mianyu.

And from time to time, he wanted to rush to the Queen Mother's side.

Until the afternoon.

This solemn and solemn ceremony to worship heaven was finally completed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally there was no delay, no breaking of faith to heaven, earth and ancestors.

Then, hundreds of officials knelt down in unison.

Three kowtows and nine bows. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth, the new emperor officially announced to the world that the new dragon emperor was born.

Next, we will prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

According to the great ceremony, the enthronement ceremony needs to be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But in the current situation, no one knows when the enthronement ceremony will be held.

Because the real team of the imperial court is in Chengde.

................................................

Hundreds of civil and military officials escorted the Queen Mother and the Emperor back to the palace from the Temple of Heaven and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Everyone clearly saw that Su Yi walked directly to the entrance of the palace and never went in again.

Instead, two female military doctors were sent to follow the Queen Mother into the palace.

Before parting, I seemed to want to say a few words to the Queen Mother, but I couldn't find the opportunity.

Military Minister Wen Xiang stepped forward and said, "Brother Su Yi."

Su Yi said: "Master Wen."

Wen Xiang said: "Now that the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is completed, the enthronement ceremony should not be delayed. When do you think it is appropriate to hold it?"

Su Yi said in astonishment: "This matter will naturally be decided by the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the princes of the court. How can it be my turn to speak?"

Then, Su Yi said: "Master Wenxiang is the Minister of Military and Aircraft, so he can discuss this matter with Prince Hui."

Then, Su Yi raised her hands and said, "Farewell!"

Then he rode straight back home.

More than an hour later.

Eunuch Zenglu rushed into Su Yi's home and said, "Brother, hurry up, come into the palace quickly, the Queen Mother is ill."

"I dare not say anything. I didn't let anyone know."

Su Yi immediately rushed into the palace.

When they arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, the female military doctors inside were already in a mess.

"The Queen Mother seems to have been scratched by a bullet. The wound is seriously inflamed. She is now running a high fever, 40 degrees." The female military doctor said.

Su Yi said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you call the imperial doctor?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "If I tell the truth and call the imperial doctor, I'm afraid rumors will spread that you murdered me."

Su Yi asked: "Is the inflammation severe?"

The female military doctor said: "After walking for a day today, the inflammation has become severe."

Su Yi said: "Do you need to chop the meat?"

The female military doctor said: "It's probably necessary, but we... don't dare to do it."

Su Yi said: "Then I'll do it."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No, that place cannot..."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, it's too late to take action now, otherwise if the inflammation gets worse, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

Next, several female military doctors stepped forward and took off Empress Dowager Ci'an's pants.

Revealing the double mounds of snow and jade.

Beautiful.

The slender waist makes the full moon, which is not very big at first, look a bit exaggerated.

Round and curved.

It was extremely charming, but the scratch was from the waist to the buttocks. It was red and looked a bit shocking.

"Prepare ether and anesthesia." Su Yi said: "The amount should be as small as possible. It is better to do it multiple times, otherwise it will harm the body."

"The Queen Mother, as soon as you inhale this thing, you will fall asleep and there will be no pain."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said to her confidant maids and nannies beside her: "Don't go, don't go..."

The palace maid and the nun said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, we won't leave even half a step."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was frightened and said: "Yes, will there be scars?"

Su Yi said: "I'm afraid, there will be a little bit, but I will be extremely careful to make the scars as shallow as possible, almost negligible."

Then, the female military doctor put ether under the nose of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Take a gentle puff.

The whole person fell asleep.

Su Yi performed the surgery herself, very carefully, cutting off the inflamed flesh bit by bit.

Disinfect little by little.

Make sure the wound is minimal and future scars are minimal.

Such a small operation lasted for more than half an hour.

Only then was everything cleaned up.

Then, use the thinnest thread to suture the wound bit by bit.

........................

I don’t know how long it took, but Empress Dowager Ci’an woke up in a daze.

Only the voice of Princess Shou'an was heard: "Why hasn't the fever gone down? It's not possible to keep the fever like this."

"It's still 40 degrees. If you keep burning like this, there will be sequelae."

"How about using your blood?"

Su Yi said: "Princess, you also know that my auspicious blood is actually a gimmick, the point is still penicillin."

Princess Shou'an said: "You don't have to know how to save me and the late emperor, didn't you use your blood?"

Su Yi said: "That's just adding penicillin to my blood."

"Why are you chirping so much? Just use it." Princess Shou'an said weakly and urgently.

Empress Dowager Ci'an was so dizzy from the fever that she seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Then, he was woken up by a stab of pain.

All he saw was a needle pierced into his blood vessel, and a whole tube of blood inside was slowly injected into his body.

Su Yi's auspicious blood?
Didn't you say that it was a gimmick?
Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an fell into a deep sleep again.

..........................................

next day!

The sound of birds chirping outside woke up the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

After she opened her eyes, her body felt cold, but she no longer felt as groggy as yesterday.

The whole person felt much more relaxed.

However, the pain in my butt became clearer.

It hurts, but not that bad.

The little emperor's voice came from outside: "I want to see the queen, I want to see the queen."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Let him come in."

After a while, the little emperor rushed in and said, "Mother, are you sick?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."

Then, under the service of the palace maid and the nun, she washed.

"Be careful, don't open the wound."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What's going on outside?"

The palace maid said: "Is nothing wrong?"

Really nothing.

The entire capital was eerily quiet.

Su Yi's 25,000 troops are still guarding the capital.

The entire capital was in order.

Even the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But, it's just too quiet.

Many people already know that Seng Gelinqin's cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from the capital.

A total of fifteen thousand cavalry, and they also carried an imperial edict.

The imperial edict for Su Yi to retreat.

The entire remaining officials in the capital held their breath.

What will happen next?
Is Su Yi retreating under the order? Give up the defense of the capital to Senggelinqin?
Or fight to the end?

The relationship between Wenxiang, Baojun, Shengbao and Prince Hui Mianyu was not close at first.

But now facing such a major event, they couldn't help but hug together for warmth, and several people entered Prince Hui's mansion one after another.

"Prince Hui, you...what do you think Su Yi has in mind?"

"When he first took control of the capital, he acted vigorously and arrested many people."

"We all thought he was going to go on a killing spree and arrest a lot of people, but he released most of them."

"He didn't participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, nor did he attend the court meeting. He was just like a middle-level general in charge of defense."

"Everyone thinks that he is not Dong Zhuo, but at least Cao Cao. But I can't understand his current posture."

"What is he planning to do?"

Prince Hui Mianyu was also uncertain and said: "There is no point in discussing this now. Seng Gelinqin's cavalry is less than a hundred miles away. What should we do next? He came with an imperial edict and ordered Su Yi to retreat. If Su Yi doesn't If you retreat, the whole capital will be in ruins."

Wen Xiang said: "Then he will really reveal his true colors and become Dong Zhuo."

Baojun said: "From the beginning to now, he has always acted with righteousness. Even if he took the Queen Mother and the Emperor out of Chengde, although the method was bizarre and the risk was high, but...after all, the Queen Mother said it was based on her secret order and for Let the emperor catch up with the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, and the righteousness will still be preserved."

Mian Yu said: "Did he isolate himself from the inside and outside of the palace? Did he not allow others to see the Queen Mother?"

Wen Xiang said: "It seems, no."

................................................

Kuang Yuan used the fastest speed to constantly change horses and enter Beijing.

I thought I couldn't get into the city, but I did.

I thought I would definitely not be able to enter the palace, but I did.

I thought I would definitely not see Empress Dowager Ci'an, but unexpectedly, I did.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother." Kuang Yuan kowtowed to the Queen Mother through the screen.

"Well, get up." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Kuang Yuan said: "Did Su Yi do anything to bully the Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No."

Kuang Yuan said: "Does Su Yi have the Queen Mother and the Emperor under house arrest?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No."

Kuang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Su Yi is extremely cunning and very good at acting. Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by him."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You should think of the Ai family as children. They will be deceived at any time."

Kuang Yuan said: "He dared to kidnap the Queen Mother and the Emperor from the Chengde Palace, which is tantamount to conspiracy."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "He followed the palace's secret order to take the emperor back to Beijing to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony."

Kuang Yuan was stunned and said, "Empress Dowager, please don't fall into Su Yi's trick."

Anxiously, Kuang Yuan said: "Su Yi, this thief, is the best at bewitching women's hearts because of his handsome face..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had said something that he shouldn't have said. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was so anxious that I said something that I shouldn't have said."

Then he started slapping himself.

This is acting again.

Where did such words come out of your mouth?
This was considered a provocation, trying to arouse Empress Dowager Ci'an's chastity and shyness, and then prove her innocence and drive him far away.

Empress Dowager Ci'an was so angry that she trembled all over and said, "In your minds, do the Ai family seem as stupid as donkeys?"

Kuang Yuan kept kowtowing and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi promised the Ai family that after the emperor's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he could lead his troops to leave at any time and would never stay behind."

Kuang Yuan said: "Queen Mother, he is lying to you, he is definitely lying to you."

"When we really drive him away, his true cruelty will be revealed."

"By then, he will be the real Dong Zhuo, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be in danger."

..............................

At this time, in the princess's mansion not far from the palace.

Princess Shou'an said: "Kuang Yuan is bewitching the Queen Mother, won't you stop it?"

Su Yi said: "I won't go."

Princess Shou'an said: "Then what you said to her are all true?"

Su Yi was silent for a while and said, "Yes, it's true."

Princess Shou'an said: "If he really asks you to lead the army south and retreat, will you really leave?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Princess Shou'an was silent for a while and said: "Actually, she is still very smart. She just doesn't like to waste her thoughts. She likes to be quiet and doesn't like to deal with others."

"Your attitude is of no use to the Queen Mother. But it is most useful to the Queen Mother."

..........................................

Senggelinqin's cavalry is getting closer and closer.

All the officials in the capital have been hiding at home and are holding their breath.

And they still wonder why the Nine Gates haven’t been closed yet.

All city gates are open, allowing people to come in and out.

At noon, Empress Dowager Ci'an summoned Su Yi again.

"See the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "The late Emperor said that other bannermen call themselves slaves, but you only call yourself a minister from the beginning to the end. After resigning from all official positions, you don't even call yourself a minister."

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Did you know? Before the emperor died, he called your name twice."

Su Yi was silent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Tell me, why didn't the late emperor break with you publicly when he was in Jiujiang? It was obviously the most effective time."

Su Yi said: "I can't tell."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Hmph, you clearly think that I am a woman, and I won't be able to understand such a deep topic."

After speaking, she found that her tone was wrong, it sounded like coquettishness.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "But I know that there is some deep tacit understanding between you men that is difficult to express in words. Once you say it, the taste will change. It is better not to say it."

"I really don't like to interfere with your affairs. I just want to live a quiet life, and no one will mess with me."

"However, when the matter comes to a head, I can't completely ignore it."

"I really want to throw this royal seal to her and let her take care of it all by herself." Empress Dowager Ci'an sighed: "But I can't do this, the late emperor..."

At this point, Empress Dowager Ci'an stopped.

There were some things that the late Emperor had only said to her alone, and he could never reveal even a single word unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Su Yi, you promised me before that after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is over, I will let you lead the army to leave and return to the south." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Does this still count now?"

Su Yi said: "It counts."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then, now you fulfill your promise..."

"Oh, forget it, forget it."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I will be most annoyed if you are tempted by this kind of temptation. Can Su Yi promise me something?"

Su Yi said: "You tell me."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "From now on, I won't use power against you, and you shouldn't use power against me, okay?"

Su Yi said: "Okay."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You don't want to leave the capital, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You want to enter the center and show off your skills, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an fell into silence again, feeling a little upset.

The last thing she wanted to do was make decisions, especially many big decisions, but she had to make them at this time.

But for a while, she didn't know what to do.

She doesn't think deeply, nor does she think far.

But she probably knew what she didn't want to do.

For example, she didn't want to just drive Su Yi out of the capital right now.

My late emperor and ancestors, I don’t know if this is right or not.

Me, I just made the decision with my eyes closed.

Then, she really closed her eyes and said, "We'll talk about the center later, but we can't let you have a civil war right now. I'll help you get through this."

"You, just feel free to go home."

Su Yi said: "Then I will resign."

Su Yi stood up, walked to the door, turned around and asked, "Queen Mother, does your wound still hurt?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an blushed and secretly spat: "Why are you asking this? You are so talkative."

..........................................

Seng Gelinqin's cavalry was still sixty miles away from the capital.

The great eunuch Zenglu rushed into Prince Hui's palace.

"The Queen Mother has a decree to summon Prince Hui to see him."

Prince Hui Mianyu kowtowed and said: "I obey the decree."

Then, he followed Zenglu and rushed into the palace.

"Slave Mian Yu, please kowtow to the Queen Mother." Even though Mian Yu is now the emperor's uncle, he still kowtows respectfully and calls himself a slave.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Uncle Wang, the late emperor gave us two royal seals, but I only have one in my hand. Under such circumstances, is the imperial edict I wrote still valid?"

Mian Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "Special moments, special methods, effective."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then I have just made a decree to confer Prince Hui Mianyu as the imperial minister and military minister."

Mian Yu was stunned.

Although he was of high seniority and had once held the rank of general and served as a clan leader, he only held a position of respect from the beginning to the end and never held any real power.

Although he was in charge of the Iron Money Bureau for a period of time, the yamen was soon abolished.

I have never done anything like the imperial minister or the military minister.

The military aircraft department has always been controlled by Duan Hua and Zai Yuan.

"Uncle Wang..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "But is there anything wrong with this imperial edict?"

Mianyu kowtowed and said, "Slave, please accept the order and thank you!"

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I have another imperial edict here. Su Yi's army has been in charge of the defense of the capital, but there is no corresponding official position. This is an unfair name. Seng Gelinqin's army is about to We are about to enter the capital, but be sure not to start a conflict, otherwise the capital will be in ruins. So please help the Ai family read this imperial edict."

Then, the eunuch Zenglu handed the imperial edict to Mianyu.

While Mian Yu opened it and read it, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "The Ai family and the emperor officially appointed Su Yi as the admiral of the nine gates, in charge of the defense of the capital."

Prince Hui Mianyu's body trembled.

Admiral of the Nine Gates, at this moment, is the most important official position.

Once he became the Admiral of the Nine Sects, Su Yi would be able to control the defense of the capital.

For a moment, Mianyu didn't know how to respond.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Uncle Wang, is there anything wrong with this decree?"

This, how do you say this?

From the beginning, you felt that it was appropriate to confer you the title of Imperial Minister and Military Minister.

Why do you think it's inappropriate to issue an imperial edict to canonize Su Yi?
Who said that the twenty-four-year-old beautiful little queen mother didn't understand politics? She really didn't like to bother.

Moreover, she also knew that she would first appoint Su Yi as the Admiral of the Nine Sects. This was a critical position, but it would not irritate Mian Yu and others too much.

After struggling again and again, Mian Yu said: "In response to the Queen Mother's words, I think there is nothing wrong with this decree."

"That's good, that's good." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Fortunately, there is such a respected royal family member as Uncle Wang in the capital, otherwise we, an orphan and a widowed mother, really don't know what to do."

Well, you can also use CPU.

Prince Hui Mianyu said: "This slave is shattered to pieces, but we must also protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor Zhouquan."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I have another imperial edict here, which is given to Seng Gelinqin. It is said that the defense of the capital is enough, but there is some emptiness in the Chengde Palace, so let him go back first. The defense of the capital is left to him. The new nine-door admiral is ready. As for Su Yi’s matter, I will discuss it with the emperor’s biological mother and then make the final decision.”

Well? !

Mianyu was stuck again.

what do I do? what do I do?
This young queen mother is really getting closer step by step.

His attitude was so gentle, but there was no room for rejection.

You have already agreed to the first two, and the last one is the most insignificant, but it really requires hard work for you.

Are you not willing to do this?

For a moment, Mianyu only felt that his mouth was dry.

But soon, a burst of arrogance surged in his heart.

Aren't you just afraid of offending Chengde? I am the emperor's uncle now, who can do anything to me?
Besides, the Queen Mother in front of her is the main palace.

He Mianyu couldn't look down on Sushun and the others in Chengde. Why was it that none of the nine ministers who cared about life were like me?

Immediately, Prince Hui Mianyu kowtowed meticulously and said: "This slave accepts the order!"

Then, he picked up the two imperial edicts, bowed and said, "I'm going to retire."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "By the way, Seng Gelinqin also has an imperial edict in his hand. So it's best for Uncle Wang to read out the edict before he arrives in the capital and before he takes out the edict."

Prince Hui Mianyu said: "I'm sorry for you. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Next, he ran straight out of the palace.

"Prepare the horses, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"You guards, follow me!"

After leaving the palace, Prince Hui Mianyu jumped on his horse, followed by a group of imperial guards, and ran towards the north of the capital.

..........................................

"Hurry up!"

Seng Gelinqin led more than 10,000 cavalry and had been running for several days and nights.

I had to sleep, but I had very little sleep time. I really wanted to sleep on horseback.

Now, it is only thirty miles away from the capital.

With an imperial edict in his arms, he asked Su Yi to immediately withdraw his troops and return to the south, and handed over the defense of the capital to him, Seng Gelinqin.

At that time, Su Yi will either retreat or resist.

Once he resists the decree, it will be Dong Zhuo.

There were more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and the smoke was billowing.

The outline of the huge capital city can already be vaguely seen. It has been a long time coming.

However, at this moment, a group of people from the front rushed towards them.

When I looked closer, I saw that it was Prince Hui Mianyu.

"Prince Hui, what happened? It's so urgent, but Su Yi rebelled?" Seng Gelinqin asked.

Prince Hui Mianyu dismounted, unfolded the imperial edict and said: "There is an edict, Seng Gelinqin will accept it."

Seng Gelinqin was slightly startled.

However, the awe of the royal instinct still made him dismount immediately.

It's impossible for Su Yi to bribe Prince Hui in front of him.

"Seng Gelinqin, the defense of the capital has been handed over to the new nine-door admiral Su Yi, and Chengde is empty. I order you to immediately lead your army back north and return to the Chengde palace. I appreciate this!"

For a moment, Seng Gelinqin was stunned.

what? !

Su Yi became the Admiral of the Nine Gates and officially took charge of the capital's defense?

Seeing him standing still, Prince Hui Mianyu said: "Seng Gelinqin, do you want to resist the decree?"

Note: I sent it with 12,000 yuan, and finally finished it ten minutes early. My benefactor, can you really help me with the monthly vote list? Thank you very much!
