Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 232: Reorganization of the center! Su Yi is promoted to a higher rank!
The military approach is over, now it's purely politics.

Su Yi was eating meat with several adults in the military camp outside the palace, quietly waiting for news from the palace.

Of course he cannot ask for any official position.

However, if he does not want this official position, then he can refuse.

"Master Tian, ​​do you want to stay in the center or return to Fujian?" Su Yi asked.

Tian Yugong said: "Where can I be more useful to you, sir?"

After that, he glanced at Xu Youren

This meaning is very clear. Xu Youren does not have any official position yet, so Tian Yugong wants to resign as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, so that Xu Youren can take over this position.

Once Tian Yugong resigns as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he will need to be assigned a position of sufficient importance in the central government.

The minister of military aircraft must have the name Tian Yugong.

Chongen nodded in agreement: "Yes, it must be relatively easy to complete. The success or failure of the first policy is so important, it is related to morale and the confidence of all the people in the world in Su Yi."

I hope he will lead the country to greatness.

At this time, the Chengde Palace was filled with smoke.

Once Su Yi enters the center, he will attract the world's attention.

Xu Youren said: "According to your plan, industrialization will be carried out nationwide. But there is a prerequisite for this. All provinces must be under our control."

Su Yi said: "Still weighing."

Tian Yugong said: "Then the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone will be administratively independent from Jiangxi and subordinate to the central government, and Lord Shen Baozhen will be appointed as the Southern Minister of Foreign Affairs and the title of Minister of Household Affairs."

But more people are looking forward to it.

No matter how many people opposed Su Yi's rise to power, no matter how many people secretly despised him.

In particular, people all over the world must be looking forward to Su Yi's performance in the center.

The Nian Army is in full swing in Henan, Shandong and other places.

The empire is tired and people's minds are changing.

I long for him to change this country, and long for him to bring a new atmosphere.

If the huge dilemma facing the entire empire is an extremely powerful enemy.

His first policy became extremely critical.

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

Next is my father-in-law, Chongen. What kind of position are you planning for him?
Xu Youren said: "Where is Master Shen Baozhen?"

Su Yi understood what Tian Yugong said. The Westernization Movement would be expanded next. In order to prevent local governments from carrying out the Westernization Movement independently, the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone also needed to be placed under the central government.

Four of the southern provinces were under the control of the Hunan Army, forming a semi-separated regime.

"Not counting."

Is there any way that the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone can be handed over to the central government while still being completely controlled by Su Yi?

Tian Yugong said: "Sir, your first policy after entering the center is very important. Have you thought about it well?"

Tian Yugong said: "To be more precise, where is the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone?"

If you think about it for a moment, it's a complete mess.

Tian Yugong is right. Now the whole world has experienced unprecedented changes.

First, the British and French forces captured the capital, and then Su Yi forced the center of the palace, almost leading to a civil war in the Qing court.

Tian Yugong said: "So your first policy when entering the central government must be big enough and inspiring."

Tian Yugong said: "Next, we will all put forward our own ideas and summarize them for adults."

Fa Ni still has hundreds of thousands of troops occupying a large area of ​​land.

“A collective effort.”

Although Su Yi hasn't entered the center yet, she already has to think about issues with the center's thinking.

Tian Yugong was silent for a while and said: "Can we only hand it over to the Hunan Army?"

But now Su Yi very much needs Jiujiang Economic Pilot Zone as an industry under his absolute control.

So Su Yi's first policy when entering the center was to charge the enemy with a clarion call.

Tian Yugong said: "Yes, he came to the Chengde Palace on behalf of the Hunan Army, and did not visit Lord Su Yi when he was in the capital. It did show his dissent, but he did not withdraw from the Seven Southern Provinces Alliance after all."

Xu Youren said: "What about the position of governor of Jiangxi?"

Xu Youren said: "Yes, but it must be relatively easy to complete."

The most troublesome thing is in the northwest, where an unprecedented riot is brewing.

Therefore, now the authority of the entire imperial court is at its lowest.

Over there in Guangzhou, still under the rule of the Three-person Committee, there were not a single Chinese soldier inside, and thousands of British and French troops were already stationed inside.

Xu Youren said: "Sir, under the current situation, does Zeng Guofan take the initiative to dismantle the Seven Southern Provinces Alliance?"

Cixi asked what kind of official position would be given to Su Yi? No one answered for a while.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The matter has come to this, and we can't delay it any longer."

The few ministers present who cared about their lives certainly did not want Su Yi to enter the center.

But there was no way, Su Yi was so awesome, he managed to squeeze into the center with his own force.

The key is that up to now, we still fight without defeat.

Duan Hua said: "There are two free ministers named Gu Ming. Let Su Yi and Mian Yu join the ranks of ministers Gu Ming."

Zaiyuan said: "In addition, doesn't Su Yi want to engage in Westernization? So he was made Minister of Westernization, Minister of Household Affairs, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Minister of the Interior."

Jing Shou said: "In this way, Su Yi's authority is already important enough, and he ranks among the top among several ministers who care about life."

Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Empress Dowager Ci'an next to her and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an is obviously two years younger, so every time she hears this sister, she feels awkward.

"You decide." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "As long as you decide, I have no objection."

Prince Gong said: "Empress Dowager, are you going to declare the decree to Su Yi now?"

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Don't be too busy announcing the decree. Find someone to talk to him about."

"Who do you want to let go of this?"

Sushun said: "Go ahead, sir."

Several people present heard Sushun calling himself a minister, not a slave.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Then I'll have to work hard in Su Zhongtang."

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

"Please see me in Suzhong Hall," Li Qi said.

Su Yi left the camp in person, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Su Zhongtang."

Sushun stepped forward and said, "You and I, my own brothers, don't have to be so polite."

It's strange to say that Su Yi and Su Shun have fought openly and secretly many times, but when they met, they were still affectionate.

After the two of them sat down, they said solemnly: "You and I are of the same banner. Brother, you are more than twenty years older than you. Now that I see you entering the center, brother, I am really happy for you. You are really a formidable young man."

Su Yi said: "Sixth brother is laughing."

Sushun said: "Brother, you also know Sixth Brother's attitude. Even during the time of the late emperor, Sixth Brother wanted to innovate, but the late Emperor firmly opposed it, and Sixth Brother could not disobey it. But you also know in your heart that we also They are like-minded.”

Su Yi said: "I know very well what Sixth Brother was thinking at that time."

Sushun said: "This time you enter the center, Sixth Brother and other brothers are also very supportive. The country of the Qing Dynasty still needs us clans to come."

"Sixth Brother is here to talk to you. The imperial court wants you to join the ranks of Minister of Guan Ming, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Military Aircraft, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Household Affairs."

Listening to this series of official positions, Su Yi was slightly stunned.

There is no doubt that the court is very sincere in this regard.

This is definitely a position of high authority.

Even among the nine ministers who care about life, these powers are ranked at the top.

Seeing Su Yi pondering, Su Shun's heart sank. Isn't this still dissatisfying?

That would be too greedy.

Su Yi said: "Sixth brother, brother, can I tell you the truth?"

Sushun said: "You tell me."

Su Yi said: "Of course these official positions are important enough, but they are not what I want."

Sushun said: "Then what do you want?"

Su Yi said: "Innovation."

Sushun said: "Tell me about it."

Su Yi said: "First of all, I have sworn that I will never take any official position from the late emperor. But this minister who cares about life is obviously canonized by the late emperor."

"In addition, the imperial court has experienced these changes, people's mentality has changed, and the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, so we simply remove the entire team of ministers who care about life."

As soon as these words came out, Sushun's expression changed drastically.

Remove them all?

Does that mean denying everything the late emperor did?
Yes, yes.

When Su Yi was in office, the late emperor once said in front of everyone that Su Yi was a rebellious minister and a traitor who deserved to die. Although they didn't die together after going to Jiujiang, they also attended Su Yi's wedding.

However, the late emperor never publicly vindicated Su Yi, and even before his death, the late emperor had a secret decree to eradicate Su Yi.

The plaque of the traitorous ministers and traitors and the stone tablet of the traitorous ministers and traitors are still standing in Su Yi's house.

Therefore, if Su Yi wanted to ascend to the throne in a legitimate way, he must first deny the late emperor.

Minister Gu Ming is the political legacy of the late emperor, so he must be denied first.

But this would completely subvert the center.

Just denying the late emperor's statement made Sushun frightened and did not dare to accept it.

His face turned pale and he said to Su Yi: "Brother, I know what you are thinking. I will go back to the two palaces and report to the empress dowager."

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

Sushun returned to the palace.

This time he did not consult with Duan Hua, Zai Yuan and others, but went directly to meet the two empress dowagers.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Su Yi did not agree."

Empress Dowager Cixi was stunned and said: "Does he think that the official is small? This is already very big. Not only has he entered the central government, but he is also ranked among the top ministers."

But for Su Yi, showing an innovative attitude is the most important.

For the imperial court, it was still the old thinking.

Don’t you, Su Yi, want to enter the center? If you do, we will give you a big official position with great power.

But what Su Yi wants is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere.

What we want is to give people a subversive change.

Sushun said: "That's not what he meant, but the late emperor once said that he was a rebellious minister and a traitor. He was unwilling to accept everything from the late emperor. Minister Gu Ming was the late emperor's political legacy, so he was unwilling to accept it."

Ci Xi's face changed slightly and she said, "Does he mean to deny everything the late emperor first?"

Sushun said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "In other words, we must first completely eliminate the existing imperial center?"

Sushun said: "Yes."

The expressions of Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an also changed slightly.

Yehenala said: "Isn't this difficult for him?"

Sushun said: "The Queen Mother, I think the Queen Mother of the two palaces should have a detailed discussion with Su Yi."

Cixi said: "Su Zhongtang, unless I agree with him, it is better not to have an interview."

Sushun said: "I didn't think enough about it."

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

Next, there was news in the Chengde Palace.

Su Yi wanted to completely overthrow the existing imperial court center and completely overthrow the system of Gu Mingjiu Ministers.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Isn't this going to be subversive?

And this is to deny the late emperor?

Therefore, this matter was put on hold for the time being.

The next day, the ceremony of paying homage to the late emperor by all the governors, generals and Mongolian princes was carried out as usual.

The late emperor's coffin was opened. Because it had been in a deep ice cellar for a long time and was treated with special methods, it was still not corrupted, and the smell was suppressed with spices.

Hundreds of officials lined up outside and entered the hall one by one to pay homage to the late emperor's remains.

Everyone is waiting for a result.

Will Su Yi come?

Because he wanted to completely reorganize the center of the imperial court and deny the late emperor.

Many people speculated that there was a high probability that Tian Yu Guild would come and Chong En would come as well, but Su Yi would not come.

As a result, Su Yi came.

The official position he currently holds is still only the Admiral of the Nine Sects, ranking very low, almost submerged among many high-ranking officials.

Soon, it was Su Yi's turn to go in and pay his respects.

Of course Su Yi has to come, just for that sentence, even if he can't be a king or a minister, he can still be a relative.

Privately, he was the late emperor's brother-in-law.

Su Yi saluted meticulously and then left the stage.

However, the situation is still slightly stagnant.

Su Yi's intention was too great. To deny the late emperor was too shocking.

Moreover, reorganizing the center of the imperial court means that many people will lose their huge power.

Therefore, although the entire Chengde Palace was peaceful, the atmosphere still seemed depressing.

Civil war did not break out.

But if Su Yi's request is really followed, it will be a complete coup.

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

Cixi summoned Ronglu again.

"Rong Lu, what should we do with this situation now?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked: "Su Yi wants to deny the late emperor, reorganize the center of the imperial court, and completely ignore the ministers who have ordered him to do so."

Ronglu said: "Empress Dowager, do you want me to go talk to Su Yi?"

Cixi said: "It's best if you go and talk. If we talk to him, there will be no room for retreat."

Ronglu was silent for a moment and said: "The Queen Mother, I have something to say from my heart."

Cixi said: "Tell me about it."

Ronglu said: "The current situation cannot be changed. In this case, it is better for the Queen Mother of the two palaces to open their hearts to Master Su Yi. The court can no longer tolerate any turmoil."

Cixi said: "Rejecting the late emperor and reorganizing the center of the imperial court will cause huge turmoil in itself."

Ronglu said: "Maybe, this is the least turbulent kind."

For a moment, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces fell into silence.

Ronglu is right, this is probably the least turbulent.

Ronglu said: "Moreover, we must believe in Mr. Su Yi on one point. He is a great politician, and we must believe in his political integrity."

"At this critical moment, it is best not to have any suspicion between the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Lord Su Yi. Once there is suspicion, the consequences will be shocking."

Cixi and Ci'an looked at each other, then nodded and said, "You are right."

Then, Cixi said: "And Hai, go to Su Yi and summon him to see you."

Andehai said: "嗻!"

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

Andehai was also one of the most important eunuchs in the palace at this time.

After seeing Su Yi at this time, he immediately went forward and knelt down to salute: "My slave, please pay your respects to Mr. Su."

Su Yi and Ande Hai were half enemies before.

Because An Dehai and Gui'er didn't deal with each other, and Concubine Yi expelled Gui'er from the palace at that time, Ande Hai added fuel to the fire.

It's just that this is a eunuch, and Su Yi can't afford to compete with him now.

Moreover, An Dehai had never really offended Su Yi.

However, other eunuchs who had offended Su Yi would not fare well.

Su Yi raised her hand and said, "Get up." Andehai said, "The Queen Mother sent her slaves to invite Mr. Su to the palace for an interview."

Su Yi said: "Oh, I understand."

A moment later, Su Yi, wearing the official uniform of a nine-door admiral, followed Ande Hai into the palace.

Throughout the process, Andehai bent down and led the way.

"Your Majesty Su Yi, please see the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

"Get up."

Then the Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, our sisters also know what you mean. It's not that we don't support you, but the turmoil is too great, and we are a little worried."

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, the world is still in chaos and the country is exhausted. We must reform to give hope to the people of the country."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "We know this, so the Westernization Movement and other reforms will also be carried out next."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, before innovation, you must show your attitude. There is a new era and a new atmosphere. New wine is put in old bottles. I am afraid that many people may not be able to taste it, so it is still necessary to replace it with new bottles."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The Ai family understands what you mean, but denying the late emperor is too big a deal."

Su Yi said: "I have already said that the system of ministers taking orders is unreasonable. So I ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen to the affairs behind the curtain."

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Cixi pricked up her ears and said, "What next?"

Su Yi said: "Then establish a political hall, appoint several political ministers, and establish a new center."

Su Yi's tone was still very calm.

But Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an were a little frightened when they heard this.

This is to restore the cabinet system. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it also followed the Ming system and adopted the cabinet system.

But soon the power of the cabinet gradually lost. After Emperor Yongzheng established the Military Aircraft Department, the power was transferred to the Military Aircraft Department.

But the military aircraft department is all part-time, with real power but no name.

The cabinet has reputation but no real power.

The Qing emperor desperately suppressed the power of the prime minister, constantly minimizing the cabinet, resulting in a high degree of monarchical centralization.

But now Su Yi not only wants to restore the power of the cabinet, but also directly adopts the name of Zhengshitang because the cabinet has been weakened for too long.

Because now all the bachelors in the cabinet have received great honors, and their positions have been occupied.

Therefore, what Su Yi wanted was a brand new name and a brand new team.

In the minds of Ci Xi and Ci An, this was too subversive.

"Su Yi, this political hall is the name of the Tang and Song Dynasties, right?" Cixi said.

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother can be regarded as a brand new famous official. There was no military department before the Yongzheng Dynasty."

Cixi said: "According to your opinion, how many ministers are there in total in this political hall?"

Su Yi said: "Four to five people."

This means that it is impossible to transition Minister Gu Ming.

To put it bluntly, this is to lose the power of most ministers who care about life.

In the Xinyou coup in history, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and Minister Gu Ming fought with real swords and guns, so they completely defeated Minister Gu Ming.

But now, there is no opposition between the Queen Mother and Minister Gu Ming. Instead, they are allies on a certain level.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, the last crisis was over with the murder of Du Han and Kuang Yuan, right? It's not going to expand anymore, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "It is very difficult to remove and disband those ministers who care about their lives."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi, what other ideas do you have?"

Su Yi said: "I want to establish a Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Office to take charge of foreign affairs with various countries."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "This is not difficult."

Next, Cixi looked at Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

Su Yi tied the establishment of the political hall and the administration behind the curtain together, so the interests of both parties immediately became consistent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I want to support Su Yi, but now these ministers who have taken care of life have been in charge of the center of the court for more than ten years during the late emperor's reign, and their disciples are all over the world. It would be too embarrassing to remove them directly. There’s a decent way to do it.”

"Su Yi, do you have any idea?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "Tell me about it."

Su Yi said: "Of the nine Ministers Gu Ming, Kuang Yuan and Du Han are dead. There are still seven people left. As long as three people resign as Minister Gu Ming, there will only be four of the nine left, which is more than half missing. The remaining four had to resign, and as a result, the nine ministers who took care of their lives were directly disintegrated."

Cixi said: "What a good idea!"

Then, Cixi asked: "Who do you think the Ai family should talk to?"

Su Yi said: "Ronglu, Prince Gong, Jingshou."

Cixi said: "Why not Seng Gelinqin?"

Su Yi said: "If it is Seng Gelinqin, then the purpose is too obvious."

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

Fuling will leave for Fulingnan tomorrow, so today is the last court meeting at the Chengde Palace.

In the past few days, the entire situation has been a complete stalemate that cannot be resolved.

Su Yi wanted to deny the late emperor and reorganize the center of the court.

But this progress is stuck here with the team of Minister Gu Ming.

But those ministers who cared about their lives remained silent. Their influence in the court was so overwhelming that it would be difficult to deny them all at once.

Today's court meeting was originally to discuss the burial of Emperor Daxing in Dongling.

After deliberation for most of the day, all the agenda items were finally discussed.

Suddenly, Ronglu came out and said: "To the Queen Mother, there was such a major accident before, which almost led to a mutiny. As a minister who cares about life, I cannot absolve myself of the blame. I formally resigned from the post of minister of life to the Queen Mother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. What does this mean?
Immediately afterwards, Fucha Jingshou came out and said: "I would like to report to the Queen Mother. I cannot escape the blame. I formally resign to the Queen Mother as the Minister of Guan Ming."

Finally, Prince Gong gritted his teeth and said: "I also formally resign to the Queen Mother as the Minister of Guan Ming."

Immediately, the expressions of Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Senggelinqin and others changed dramatically.

What's the meaning? !

Are you planning a surprise attack?
Of the nine ministers who cared about life, five were now removed, and more than half were gone.

What's the point of the remaining four ministers who care about life?
Just disband.

Suddenly, the others looked at Sushun to see his attitude.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Okay, okay. Why should I resign gracefully at this time? Can't we live in peace for a while? Can't we wait until we return to the capital?"

"Let's talk about it after we return to the capital. Don't even discuss it. I reject it!"

Then, Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an took the little emperor's hand and left without saying a word.

The civil and military officials who had left everyone behind looked at Su Yi and suddenly felt incomprehensible.

Amazing!
What a good idea.

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

Next, the little emperor and all the officials supported the spirit and headed south.

Su He and Ronglu's army marched south with hundreds of officials, the queen mother of the two palaces and the young emperor, and returned to the capital.

The entire capital city and even the people of the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the civil war did not break out, and the Qing Dynasty was not divided.

But everyone is curious, what should happen next?
Where should the world go from here?

What position does Su Yi play?

Where should the Qing Dynasty go?

After returning to the capital, most of the governors in the world still did not leave, waiting for a result.

How far can Su Yi reach?

How will the center of the imperial court be subverted?

From now on, does it mean the arrival of a new era?

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

After returning to Beijing.

First of all, a major event happened. The empress dowagers of the two palaces issued an edict, asking hundreds of ministers from the court, especially the remaining few ministers who were concerned about life, to wait at Su Yi's residence.

The officials had no choice but to crowd around Su Yi's mansion.

Countless people in the capital didn't know why, but seeing so many civil and military ministers around Su Yi's residence, they couldn't help but flock over.

But everyone can probably guess what is about to happen.

After waiting for more than half an hour.

The great eunuch Zenglu shouted: "The emperor has arrived!"

Under the protection of eunuchs and guards, hundreds of people arrived in front of Su Yi's mansion.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, the little emperor stepped off the dragon chariot.

After coming down, seeing so many people, the little emperor was still a little timid and glanced behind him.

As if he had received enough encouragement, the little emperor came to the stone tablet at the door of Su Yi's house.

The stone monument of that rebellious minister and traitor.

Someone next to him handed over a small hammer. The little emperor took the hammer and glanced at the dragon chariot behind him.

Because the person inside was the Empress Dowager Cixi, he looked a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, let's begin." The eunuch Zeng Lu said.

The little emperor held the hammer and tried to remember the words to recite.

After a long while, the little emperor said: "Master Su Yi is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Lord Su Yi, you are a great hero."

"The writing on this stone tablet is wrong, so I'm going to smash it!"

After finally speaking, the little emperor picked up the hammer and used all his strength to hit the stone tablet hard.

"Bang bang bang!"

The little emperor's strength was very small, but it was deafening.

In a sense, this means that the current emperor has completely overturned the previous emperor's conclusion.

Su Yi is no longer a traitor and traitor.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi in the car saw this scene, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

The emperor was weak and could not even leave a small mark on the stone tablet. ,
However, it is completely enough.

Su Yi had said that unless the emperor himself came to overturn this argument, the plaques and stone tablets of this rebellious minister and traitor would always be preserved.

Next, the little emperor will be even more difficult.

The little eunuch next to him handed him a small bow and lit a rocket.

Moreover, someone helped him target the plaque of Su Yi's mansion.

Plaque for rebellious officials and traitors.

After taking aim, the little emperor held his breath and then let go.

Suddenly the rocket shot out.

Because there were eunuchs nearby to help, and the distance was only a dozen feet, the little emperor's rocket directly hit the plaque on Su Yi's home that said "Chaotic Ministers and Traitors".

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, dozens or hundreds of rockets directly hit the plaque.

"Smash the stone monument!"

Following the order, several guards stepped forward and hit the stone tablet with big hammers.

Several guards stepped forward, picked up their strongest bows, bent their bows sharply, and shot arrows at the plaque of the traitor.

In just a few moments, the stone tablet was smashed to pieces.

The stone tablet of this treacherous minister and traitor was shot to pieces while still alive.

The last arrow was particularly powerful.

Directly shoot this plaque alive and make it fall down.

At this point, the late emperor's evaluation of Su Yi was completely overturned.

The civil and military officials were silent, but countless people cheered.

Most of them always support Su Yi in their hearts.

I am full of expectations for the legendary figure Su Yi.

Are you kidding me? Marshal Su Yi saved the capital several times and saved the people. How could he be a rebellious minister and traitor?

The little emperor looked at the plaque that had fallen to the ground and was burning. He seemed very excited and even wanted to step forward and step on it.

"The great commander is victorious, the great commander is victorious!"

When the surrounding Su Yi's new army saw this scene, they couldn't help but raise their arms and shout.

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

next day!

A court meeting was held in the Imperial Palace in the capital.

The court meeting was unprecedented in scale, with more than a thousand officials participating, and the entire Qianqing Palace Square was full.

Not only the senior officials from the capital, but also many of the local governor's officials from the frontiers were also present.

It has been about a year and a half. This is the first court meeting in the imperial palace in the capital since the late emperor went hunting in the north.

It is also the largest court meeting in the past ten years.

The queen mothers of the two palaces took the young emperor to the throne.

The great eunuch shouted: "Here comes the original play!"

Seng Gelinqin, the Minister of Gu Ming, stepped forward and said: "I would like to report to the Queen Mother and to the Emperor that my servants did not handle the mission well in Chengde, which almost led to a big mistake. I cannot absolve myself of the blame. I hereby resign from the position of Minister of Gu Ming!"

Then, Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan and others came out and formally resigned from the post of Gu Ming Minister.

All the civil and military officials present felt trembling in their hearts.

The day finally arrived.

Since Ronglu, Prince Gong, Yi, and Jingshou resigned as Minister Gu Ming, the remaining four people have no choice.

In today's court meeting, he finally resigned from his position as Minister of Gu Ming.

So far, two of the nine ministers who have taken care of their lives have died, and the remaining seven have all resigned.

Next, the Queen Mother of the two palaces made a request to stay.

The seven ministers of Gu Ming knelt down and begged to resign from their posts as ministers of Gu Ming.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces once again made efforts to stay, and the seven ministers who took care of their lives resigned again.

Finally, the three resignations and three concessions were completed in the shortest possible time.

In the end, the Queen Mother of the two palaces had to accept it.

The Empress Dowager Cixi sobbed: "The reason why the late emperor consecrated the ministers of Gu Ming was for the sake of the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty. Aren't you doing this and abandoning the country of the Qing Dynasty without caring about it? Are you not abandoning the two palaces and the emperor's orphans and widowed mother?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't want to act, but she could only wipe her eyes.

She really couldn't shed tears.

Then, Ronglu came out and said: "To inform the Queen Mother, the Emperor is too young to govern personally. I have asked the Queen Mothers of the two palaces to listen to the government behind the curtain."

Then, dozens of ministers came out one after another, knelt down and said: "I would like to ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen to the affairs behind the curtain."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "You, what do you mean?"

The scholar of Tirenge University said: "To the Queen Mother, I would like to ask the Queen Mothers of the two palaces to listen to the government behind the curtain. The ministers of Gu Ming resigned collectively, but the center of the court cannot be left alone for a day. I would like to set up a political affairs hall to assist the Queen Mothers of the two palaces and the emperor in handling national affairs. .”

Immediately afterwards, another official came out and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, Master Su Yi has saved the capital many times and turned the tide. His hard work has made great contributions. I would like to commend him."

Immediately afterwards, Tian Yugong and other ministers came out one after another and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, Su Yi has the power to turn the tide. His hard work has made great achievements, and he deserves to be rewarded."

Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at each other, and then said slowly: "Su Yi accepts the title!"

Su Yi came out of the queue and stood in the center of the hall.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi has made outstanding contributions and has noble conduct. He can be named a first-class Duke of the country!"
