Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 239 The world is settled! Conquer the Queen Mother!
Yangtze River Estuary.

As the Russian ships and the Yangtze River Fleet opened fire, the combined fleet was suddenly in extreme panic.

This is the most dangerous moment.

"Aim, aim!"

"Load the artillery!"

Following the order, warships from other countries in the combined fleet also loaded their guns.

Especially Uncle Ho, the commander of the British Navy in China, who had a deep hatred for Su Yi and almost immediately ordered the firing.

But he knew London's orders.

For a moment, there was an incomparable struggle.

At this critical moment, in the next second, Viscount Jurgen pulled out his gun and aimed at the opponent.

"No war allowed!"

"Everyone, no war, wait for orders from London."

Major General He Bo said sternly: "Viscount Jurgen, are you committing the following crime?"

Viscount Jurgen said: "I am doing this for the benefit of the empire, General Ho. Don't challenge my sense of honor. I can do anything for the benefit of the country, including going to a military court."

"The order from London has come. If you dare to go to war, you are disobeying the order."

"If I shoot, even if I go to court-martial, His Highness the Prince will help me exonerate myself."

In this way, Viscount Jurgen restrained Major General Ho's urge to fire and gained precious time.

In the shortest possible time, Sir Basari boarded the flagship of the British fleet.

"Her Majesty the Queen orders, the Prime Minister orders, the British Empire fleet withdraws from the Yangtze River Estuary."

"Delay for five years to exercise Yangtze River navigation rights."

Basharli produced three orders, each of which was extremely authoritative.

The Queen's signature, the Prime Minister's signature, and the authoritative document of Parliament.

Major General He Bo looked at all this unwillingly and said slowly: "What did Su Yi pay?"

Bashar said politely: "Entrust the British Empire to train a navy for him. It will take eight years and forty million taels of silver."

Major General He Bo said in a cold voice: "According to the ancient Chinese saying, you are raising tigers to create trouble. One day, you will regret it."

He said this just out of personal anger, not because he saw anything.

Basia said coldly: "General He Bo, do you want to disobey me?"

At this time, Basharli hoped that General Ho would disobey, so that Viscount Jurgen could immediately take over the command.

"How could I disobey orders?" Major General He Bo asked.

Then, the most powerful British fleet in the combined fleet evacuated directly and returned to the sea.

Sir Basile boarded the flagship of the French fleet and said: "Your Majesty General, won't you follow the diplomatic line of the British Empire this time?"

The French fleet commander said: "Sir Basile, the diplomatic interests of the British Empire and the French Empire have drifted apart."

Ever since the British Empire began to change its diplomatic route towards China, the French have become increasingly dissatisfied.

It seems that the British have already dominated the interests in China. With the success of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, France's interests in China will continue to be squeezed in the future.

Sir Basari said: "No matter what, if your navy does not withdraw, can we consider your country's diplomatic strategy to be a departure from the British Empire?"

The French fleet commander obviously cannot afford such consequences.

"The Treaty of Tianjin and the Treaty of Beijing clearly stipulate that we will own the navigation rights of the Yangtze River and China's inland rivers. Now that your British Empire is betraying the interests of its allies for your own interests, don't you need to give us an explanation?"

Basharli said: "Of course I will give you an explanation, so I believe that your country's diplomats are already in London at this time, and they will definitely negotiate a stable condition."

According to Ba Xiali's inference, the British probably wanted to support the French in their colonial war against the three Vietnamese countries.

To some extent, the French will presumably get what they want.

Therefore, compared with history, the French's war of aggression against Vietnam and other countries will definitely increase in scale.

Eventually, the French succumbed.

With an order, the French fleet also withdrew from the Yangtze River Estuary.

For a time, only the American fleet and the Russian fleet were left in the entire Yangtze River Estuary.

The American fleet is still relatively large, but the Russian fleet is relatively small.

Sir Basili went to the American warship to negotiate with the other commander.

The Americans were very angry and cursed the British for betraying their allies and being no longer worthy of being world leaders.

And starting from today, the united front of the countries in the Far East has disappeared.

Basile said that the United States is engaged in a difficult civil war and needs the support of the British Empire even more at this critical moment.

And regarding the Yangtze River waterway rights, the British Empire will definitely give the United States an explanation.

This is actually Bashir's self-expression. London will answer to the French, but it may not answer to the Americans.

Even London felt that it was okay for the US fleet to be unwilling to withdraw from the Yangtze River Estuary.

They felt that it would be good to have a force to suppress Su Yi.

But Baxali wanted to take things to the extreme and persuade the American fleet to leave as well, completely isolating the Russian fleet.

He had a very clear understanding of China's internal affairs at this time.

At this time, the center of the imperial court was implementing one of the most important military reforms.

In the next few days, the entire country will enter its most dangerous and vulnerable moment.

Any external force may affect situation variables.

As Su Yi's staunchest ally, he felt that at this critical moment, it was still necessary to escort him through this most difficult moment.

After all, this is also to protect his personal interests.

However, his efforts against the Americans failed.

The American fleet was determined not to retreat, but it did not open fire either.

The Russian fleet here was unable to support itself and took the initiative to retreat.

The American fleet also retreated.

The Russian fleet's plot to cause war was officially ruined.

The British and French fleets retreated directly to the open sea.

The fleets of the United States and Russia began to approach again after retreating for more than ten miles.

Still blocked at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

But no matter what, the most terrible crisis has passed. With the withdrawal of the British and French fleets, even if the fleets of the remaining two countries want to open fire, they may not be the opponents of Su Yi's Yangtze River fleet.

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

Inside the Shanghai Consulate.

"Despicable, shameless!"

"Your British Empire is not worthy of being a world leader. You have betrayed our common interests."

"If you are willing to postpone the exercise of Yangtze River navigation rights for five years, that is your own business. Anyway, we in Russia are absolutely not willing to do so."

"I will report this to the Tsar immediately and ask him to prepare for war."

"If you countries are not willing to join, then we, the Russians, will join."

"We mobilized a large fleet from Europe and entered the Yangtze River Estuary. We gathered a large army to Eastern Siberia, entered Heilongjiang, entered Shengjing, and directly entered Beijing."

The Russian minister kept roaring.

"Mr. Hua Ruohan, are you Americans willing to come with us?"

US Minister John Howard said: "We absolutely do not recognize the terms of the British compromise, and we will firmly implement the contents of the previous treaty."

"If necessary, we will also mobilize a fleet from the mainland to enter the Yangtze River."

Basri and Sir Bruce said nothing.

You Americans, whose civil war is now in full swing, want to join another war.

And what is the strength of your navy?
However, the Russians' anger cannot be suppressed.

Their will to fight cannot be suppressed.

Then, the Russian minister made an angry speech and walked away.

Although, his shirt didn't have wide sleeves either.

Next, he will do his best to go to the Russian emperor to promote the war against the Qing Dynasty, and try his best to find ways to drag the United States into the water.

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

The capital, in front of the palace!

The intensive firing continued.

The tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were stunned after a brief period of confusion.

Just utter panic.

Didn't you expect that Su Yi actually opened fire?
Is it really such a large-scale suppression?

After falling down in pieces, they began to run away desperately.

And this kind of running away is most likely to cause trampling.

For a moment, the entire entrance to the palace was in terrible shape.

There are countless houses in the capital, all of which have their doors closed.

In the palace, everyone was trembling.

The Tianjin New Army, which maintained the safety of the palace, shuddered as they watched this scene.

In this way, Su Yi's army kept crushing and crushing.

The frightened siege of this group of Eight Banners soldiers was instantly torn apart, and more and more corpses were piled on the ground.

………………

Within the palace.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces looked pale and colorless as they listened to the gunshots outside.

Silent and silent.

"Rong Lu, come here..." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Seng Gelinqin, come here too."

In Sanxi Hall, there were only three people, Yehenala, Ronglu and Seng Gelinqin.

But for a moment, I still couldn't find anything to say.

It has been more than four months since Su Yi entered the center. It was so harmonious before.

No exclusion, no struggle for power, no suppression.

According to the Queen Mother of the two palaces, how good would it be to continue to be in harmony like this?
As a result, this harmony now comes to an abrupt end.

Revolution is not a dinner party.

The situation of hello, me, and everyone does not exist.

When it comes to critical matters, you either fight or compromise.

Therefore, at the most critical moment, Su Yi adopted the most violent means to solve the problem.

So now it's the Queen Mother's turn to make a choice.

Whether to choose to side with the Eight Banners or Su Yi, there is no middle way.

This military reform will either be complete or complete.

Or simply not reform.

Yehenala said: "Ronglu, according to your inference, if I don't stand by Su Yi, what will be the consequences?"

She just wanted to ask, would Su Yi go on a killing spree?
Ronglu said: "He will lead his army south, return to Jiujiang, and take the most difficult road."

Yehenala said: "Won't he use more violent methods in the capital?"

Ronglu said: "Probably not."

"If he doesn't get the support of the Queen Mother of the two palaces, he will look for his own righteousness."

Yehenala said: "If I agree to him, what will be the consequences?"

Ronglu was silent for a while and said: "The Queen Mother will also become the enemy of the Eight Banners. In the hearts of many people, the Queen Mother will also become the sinner of the Qing Dynasty."

Su Yi suppressed the Eight Banners ruffians this time, but did not get the orders of the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

But his slogan is for the two queen mothers and the emperor. You soldiers and gangsters surrounding the palace are treasonous.

Therefore, once the Queen Mother decided to side with Su Yi, it meant that she would also endorse this massacre.

I want to make up for Su Yi’s will.

In this way, Su Yi was ordered to suppress, and it was justified.

Then, the Queen Mother of the two palaces will also become the executioner.

From then on, the queen mothers of the two palaces would be tied to Su Yi for a long time.

Yehenala's eyes were red and tears were hanging in her eyes.

Both sides are pushing her.

Why couldn't these tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers be persuaded to leave? Why did they keep surrounding the palace and knocking on the gate? Isn't it because there were countless Eight Banners ministers supporting them?

Su Yi, on the other hand, simply used force to suppress it without asking for an order.

Finally, the problem was handed over to her.

"Rong Lu, do you think those people are also waiting for Su Yi to open fire?" Yehenala said.

Ronglu thought for a while and said, "It should be."

"Everyone thinks that Su Yi is Cao Cao. He is talented and strategic, and he is also a member of the clan, which will make everyone full of illusions. Now that he has ordered the suppression and massacre of the Eight Banners' children, from now on it will be impossible for him to take a further step forward in the Qing Dynasty. All banners No one will support him."

Of course, Ronglu still had something to say, but he couldn't say it at this time.

At this time, the gunshots outside gradually became thinner.

Because the suppression is almost over.

Therefore, there is not much time left for the two queen mothers.

But this decision was too difficult for Yehenala.

Once she decides to support Su Yi, she will be criticized by thousands of people. Who knows how she will be scolded by countless bannermen.

Now, there were rumors outside that she and Su Yi were having an affair.

Once she supports Su Yi, there's no telling how bad her reputation will be.

Yehenala said: "King Monk, you are Su Yi's enemy. What do you think?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "From the perspective of the slave, I wish I could tear Su Yi into pieces. But... from the perspective of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the slave feels that I may have no choice."

Ronglu said: "Empress Dowager, suppose we don't stand by Su Yi and Su Yi loses the support of the two queen mothers and directly leads his troops south to do his great work alone. Then the Qing Dynasty will really sink completely... …”

"Su Yi massacred so many bannermen. As long as he leads his army south, he will definitely become a traitor and traitor. But he has already left. Who else needs to be blamed for this massacre?"

"Having suffered so much injustice, the honorable bannerman will fight back or restore his country?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "But if the Queen Mother does not stand by Su Yi, then I guarantee that the capital will not be overturned."

"If Su Yi leads his army south, one of the strongest forces in the north will be my Mongolian cavalry, and the other will be Lord Ronglu's Tianjin New Army. I swear here, no matter who, I can't let you waver in the slightest, and I will do my best. , to safeguard the authority of the Queen Mother of the two palaces, and to safeguard the authority of the Emperor.”

Ronglu said: "The same goes for my slaves. Whoever dares to repeat the attack will be killed by my slaves' army."

Yehenala closed her eyes and couldn't help but said hoarsely: "What would the Holy Ancestor, Emperor Gaozong, do if he encountered such a thing?"

Ronglu and Seng Gelinqin didn't speak.

Because these two people probably would not encounter such a situation.

"Aijia is just a woman, why should Aijia have to make such a difficult choice?"

Then, she asked: "If the Ai family supports Su Yi, then if the Eight Banners Capital Camp is abolished this time, can half be cut first and half left?"

Ronglu thought for a while and said: "If this bloody crackdown hadn't happened, we could have only laid off half of the staff. But now that the crackdown has happened, we can only lay off all of them. If the remaining half is left, it will only trigger greater turmoil." ”

Yehenala fell into silence again.

Still can't make a choice.

She shuddered when she thought that if she stood on Su Yi's side, she would also instantly stand on the opposite side of countless Eight Banners nobles, with countless people pointing their fingers at her and scolding her.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

The Queen Mother said: "What's wrong?"

Andehai said: "It's over... outside."

The Queen Mother said: "What then?"

Andehai said: "Lord Su Yi's three thousand troops are lined up outside."

The Queen Mother said: "Has Su Yi entered the palace?"

She wondered if Su Yi was going to the palace to force her again.

This bastard talks sweetly while pressing forward step by step.

Andehai said: "No..."

The Queen Mother said: "Let's explore again..."

"嗻……"

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

At this time, there was no square outside the palace, only East Chang'an Street, West Chang'an Street, and Qipan Street.

After the suppression was completed.

The ground was densely covered with blood and corpses.

Su Yi's three thousand new troops quietly began to carry the corpse.

Zhang Guoliang led thousands of troops and brought hundreds of carriages, and threw the corpses on the carriages.

The final count was made, and there were a total of 3,900 corpses.

About 10,000 Eight Banners ruffians besieged the palace, but 6,000 escaped and 3,900 died.

A small number were trampled to death.

Most of them were shot.

Zhang Guoliang looked at the densely packed corpses. On both sides of the street were the six departments, the General Affairs Department and other government offices.

At this time, countless eyes were already looking outside.

The eyes of these officials were full of fear, and many of them were hostile.

Su Yi killed so many Eight Banners soldiers, so of course he was completely opposed to them.

Looking at the mountains of corpses on the carriage, Zhang Guoliang said tremblingly: "Commander, let's... go back to the south."

Go back south? !
That's how the north and south are divided.

What if the northwest third of the country is separated?
The Tsarist Russian army from the north is advancing into Heilongjiang and the three northeastern provinces. Who can stop it?

"Clean the streets!" Su Yi said.

From beginning to end, he looked very bland.

The three thousand new troops who had just been brutally suppressed now shouldered their guns and began to fetch water.

"Crash..."

Bucket after bucket of water was poured onto the street, dissolving the coagulated blood.

Take the brush again and scrub clean little by little.

It only took less than half an hour to suppress the killing.

But it took more than three hours to finally clean up the blood stains.

Finally, the East and West Chang'an Streets outside the palace, as well as Qipan Street, were cleaned up.

Thousands of corpses were also transported by horse-drawn carriages to outside the city for cremation.

Outside the palace, it was completely quiet.

This group of people surrounded the palace for a month. In the palace, officials from the six departments felt that it was noisy and noisy every day.

At this time, it suddenly became quiet, which I was really not used to.

After cleaning the streets, it was already dusk.

There was no order coming from the palace, and Su Yi didn't ask for an audience.

"Army, return to camp!"

Following Su Yi's order, he led three thousand new troops to leave the palace and return to the barracks.

The broad streets were left empty and clean as never before, but there was always a strong smell of blood lingering in the sky.

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

Next, the entire capital fell into deathly silence.

This does not mean that immediately after the crackdown, countless people shouted for beatings and killings.

Of course there were cries and cries.

However, they are all behind closed doors.

Everyone is waiting quietly for the decree from the palace.

After such a horrific massacre, what choice did the two queen mothers make?

Are you on the side of the Eight Banners?
Or are you on Su Yi's side?

On the second day after the suppression, there was no order from the palace, and there was not even any news. They just summoned a few ministers.

On the third day, Chongen, the censor of Zuodu, Tian Yugong, the minister of household affairs and the minister of military aircraft, did not go to the Yamen for work, but went directly to Su Yi's military camp.

Within the military camp.

Su Yi is still writing the booklet.

Next, along with the training of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army Academy will be established.

Su Yi plans to be the first principal.

Training and teaching at the same time.

Zhang Guoliang suddenly said: "Commander, aren't the six thousand new troops from Tianjin going to Beijing yet?" Su Yi said: "We don't need them for the time being."

Chongen drank one cup after another. Although he had decided to support Su Yi early on, he was still frightened by what happened.

You can only blind your eyes and ears, listen to nothing, and see nothing.

He even wanted to say, Xiaoyi, why don't we go back to the south.

Tian Yugong said: "In the past few months, the center has been so harmonious that it really gave me the illusion that this harmony will last forever."

Chongen said: "Isn't it?"

Tian Yugong said: "Actually, if the harmony continues like this, you will be able to rise step by step, and you will be in charge of the entire center within five years. Because even if the reform is not thorough, it can double the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty, and it can also wipe out the Qing Dynasty. Even if you are rebellious, you can become a famous minister of Zhongxing, and you can also be crowned king."

This is how everyone sees it.

Su Yi could even calculate that he could be crowned king before 1865.

There is no need for such thorough reforms and there is no need to offend so many people.

Destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, suppress the rebellion in the northwest, and then directly become the king, and then become the political king.

He led numerous bannermen to become noble and wealthy, and everyone supported him as regent.

In this way, he became the most successful framer in the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, he will continue to live for the so-called Qing Dynasty, but he will always be a second- and third-rate country.

Tian Yugong said: "Lord Chong'en, you are a bannerman and can be considered a clan member. What do you think the Queen Mother will choose?"

Chongen said: "I don't know, she was also forced to the cliff, there is no neutral space."

"If you choose to support Su Yi, you will reform to the end and be reviled by countless people."

"Choose to support the Eight Banners, then..."

Tian Yugong suddenly asked: "Sir, if the empress dowagers of the two palaces do not support you, do you really want to lead your army south and return to Jiujiang?"

Su Yi didn't speak.

But the answer is self-evident.

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

next day!

There was movement in the palace, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces issued an order for Ronglu's new Tianjin army to withdraw from the palace.

At this point, thousands of Tianjin's new troops left the palace in unison.

Then, the queen mothers of the two palaces ordered a court meeting tomorrow to discuss important matters.

Andehai came in person to read out the decree to Su Yi.

Invite Su Yi to the palace tomorrow for a court meeting.

After Ande Hai declared his order to leave, Su Yi's direct officers immediately stepped forward and said: "Commander, before you enter the palace tomorrow, we will send troops to the palace first. After checking to ensure safety, you can enter the palace again."

Tian Yugong said: "My lord has the expectations of billions of people, so you should be careful, just in case."

Everyone felt that Su Yi should send troops to clear the palace, guard every place, and ensure sufficient safety before entering the palace.

Thousands of people were massacred this time, and it was unknown how many people had a blood feud with Su Yi.

Who knows what they might do?
Even Ronglu and Seng Gelinqin had a secret order from the late emperor to trick Su Yi into entering the palace and then shoot him to death.

Su Yi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No need."

It's not that Su Yi is so upright, after all, Caesar's example is there.

However, he has already deployed enough people in the palace.

Before the Queen Mothers of the two palaces returned to Luan, Su Yi controlled the palace for almost a year.

He is armed in the palace, but no one would doubt that the palace maids can also possess powerful force.

There are already dozens of women in Su Yi's secret service.

In addition, he also selected more than a thousand female soldiers from the Taiping Army's female battalion.

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

The next day, it was dark!

Hundreds or thousands of officials went to the palace in groups.

At this time, the palace gate was not open, and hundreds of officials were standing between Duanmen and Meridian Gate.

This is a bit unlucky. After all, people say that outside the Meridian Gate is a special place for beheading.

Of course it is not actually true, but it is true that there are countless dead souls outside the Meridian Gate. There is no beheading in this place, but there are quite a few people killed by imperial rods.

At this time, hundreds of officials were whispering among themselves.

They were undoubtedly talking about the same thing, which was Su Yi's massacre and suppression a few days ago.

There is one more thing: where will the two empresses go?
What decision to make?

Now the whole capital is buzzing with rumors that once the Queen Mothers of the two palaces announce that they do not support military reform or the dismantling of the Eight Banners Army, Su Yi will immediately lead his army south.

From then on, the North and the South were divided.

"I'm afraid it may not be split. The most powerful person in the south now is not Su Yi, but Zeng Guofan."

"How many troops does Su Yi have in total? The Hunan Army only has 200,000 troops."

"There is still rebellion, I'm afraid there will be an army of 300,000 to 400,000 people."

"Su Yi massacred the Eight Banners soldiers and angered all the banner people in the world. This Qing Dynasty belongs to our banner people. If the Queen Mother of the two palaces stands on his side, it will be the target of thousands of people, and it will be the Jiangshan Sheji that has been eliminated from the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone is talking about it.

Suddenly, Su Yi walked in with Tian Yugong, Chongen and others.

In an instant.

The whole place was silent.

All civil and military officials in the court fell silent for a moment and instinctively took a few steps back.

When Su Yi led his army north to Chengde, they did not feel afraid. But this time Su Yi went on a killing spree, which terrified them.

Then, the civil and military officials were a little shocked.

Su Yi, are you so brave and not afraid of death?
You don’t bring troops into the palace either?
If you just brought a few people here, aren't you afraid that hundreds of soldiers will rush out and cut you into pieces at the palace's command?
Aren't you afraid that dozens of Eight Banners ministers will suddenly rush up with their swords drawn and stab you to death?

Of course, none of this happened.

But outside the Meridian Gate, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Every time he went to court before, many officials would actually come to curry favor and pay homage to him.

Su Xiang, Su Xiang.

Say hello and salute without stopping at all.

But now no one dares to come to see him, whether it is Manchu ministers, Mongolian ministers, or Han ministers.

In fact, some of the officials present may not necessarily support Su Yi from the bottom of their hearts, but at this juncture, no one dared to stand up and express their stance publicly.

After a long while, the Meridian Gate slowly opened.

The great eunuch Zenglu shouted: "All officials have entered the palace."

Suddenly, hundreds of officials entered the palace.

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

Enter the Qianqing Palace.

Su Yi entered his seat, and there were only two people in front of him, Prince Gong Yi and Prince Zheng Duanhua.

The three ministers are the minister of political affairs in the political hall, the minister of military aircraft, and the three ministers of the Prime Minister's Yamen.

All have arrived.

There is no room for standing in the Qianqing Palace, and most officials have to stand on the Qianqing Gate Square.

Inside the main hall, there was still an oppressive silence.

The previous harmony was gone. Mian Yu, Duan Hua, Yi, Su Shun, Zai Yuan and others all talked and laughed with Su Yi when they went to court.

There is even a vague feeling that these five people are wooing Su Yi and ostracizing all other ministers.

Because all five people belong to the clan, it is very mature to form a royal cabinet in the future.

But now that Su Yi is slaughtering the Eight Banners soldiers, in their view, he has betrayed his class and killed his own people.

"Queen Mother, the Emperor has arrived!"

With a loud shout, the queen mothers of the two palaces and the young emperor came out.

The little emperor sat in front.

The Queen Mother of the two palaces sat behind the curtain.

"I see you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live." Hundreds of officials saluted.

Then, there was silence.

"Here comes the melodrama!" shouted the eunuch Zenglu.

However, the officials remained silent.

No one came forward, just waiting for the decision of the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

Are you on Su Yi's side or on the Eight Banners' side?

After waiting for a while, there was still no one to play. Yehenala said: "Today is special, so just open the curtain."

Following an order, the curtains in front of the Queen Mothers of the two palaces were slowly opened.

It was the first time for many ministers to see the faces of the Queen Mothers of the two palaces.

So young.

Yehenala looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, her cold face was a little pale, and even her hands could not help but tremble.

For her and Ci'an, this was the most tense moment.

The last time Su Yi led his army north to Chengde, Empress Dowager Cixi looked nervous, but she was confident.

Could Su Yi still hurt her?
But today, it’s either/or.

Once you side with Su Yi, you will be considered as the enemy of countless bannermen.

"Isn't there anyone to play?" Yehenala said: "Then I will start."

“Respectfully request the Queen Mother’s holy instruction!”

Yehenala said: "A few days ago, Su Yi sent troops to suppress the Eight Banners soldiers surrounding the palace by force."

When she said this, her throat couldn't help but tighten, and she could hardly speak the following words.

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for the Queen Mother's statement.

"That's according to the order."

"This group of rebels has surrounded the palace for more than a month. Such actions are tantamount to conspiracy. We, the two palaces, are intolerable and have exhausted our kindness and justice. However, these people still refuse to retreat. If this continues, where will the majesty of the Qing Dynasty be?"

"So, the two palaces gave Su Yi an order to send troops to suppress and expel him..."

As soon as these words came out.

The whole place remained silent.

However, it can be felt like a sonic boom, shaking the whole place.

Many civil and military ministers showed shocked expressions. Is the Queen Mother's position so clear and firm?

Especially the banner minister seemed to be unable to believe his ears.

Queen Mother, do you know how serious your statement is?

Do you still want the country and country of your ancestors? Aren't you afraid of being drowned by the spit of countless bannermen?

After finishing speaking, Yehenala paused for a moment and said to Empress Dowager Ci'an: "Sister, do you think this is the case?"

A slight struggle flashed across Empress Dowager Ci'an's young and beautiful face, and then she nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."

The whole place was still silent.

The civil and military minister raised his head and stared directly at the two empress dowagers.

Some people immediately lowered their gazes, including many Han ministers.

But many officials still look at it this way.

Quite a few ministers in the capital are bannermen.

"The second thing." Yehenara continued, "Su Ye once petitioned to disband the Eight Banners Army and form a new imperial army."

"The two palaces have carefully considered this matter."

"Everyone saw the military exercise at Nanyuan Campus. The Eight Banners Army has reached a point where it cannot do anything without reform."

"For the sake of the country and the country of our ancestors, the two palaces have decided to agree to the petition of Su Yi, the minister of political affairs."

"First of all, 100,000 people from the Eight Banners' capital camp will be abolished, and the best will be recruited to form a new imperial army."

"I agree to Su Yi's request to establish the Army Department."

"Su Yi was appointed as the Minister of War, Ronglu was appointed as the Right Minister of the Army, and Seng Gelinqin, Jingshou, and Zuo Zongtang entered the Ministry of War to assist the Minister of War in related matters."

"Su Yi, take the order!"

Then, the eunuch Zenglu held an imperial edict in his hands and handed it to Su Yi.

The whole place was still silent.

At this point, the resolution has finally come down.

After a month or two of struggle, Su Yi finally obtained this will at the cost of countless blood.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were finally forced to commit suicide by Su Yi.

Standing on the opposite side of the banner people of the world.

Both Zhang Guoliang and Tian Yugong asked Su Yi, if the empress dowagers of the two palaces did not side with him, would he lead his army south and return to Jiujiang?

Su Yi didn't answer.

But the answer is...no.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces seems to have a choice, but in fact she does not.

Then, Yehenala said: "My ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

There is no need to discuss this matter, it is settled.

All the officials present remained silent.

No one answered.

Suddenly, someone came out of the queue and said tremblingly: "The Queen Mother, then... did those thousands of Eight Banners soldiers die in vain?"

The Queen Mother said: "What? The imperial edict of suppression was issued by me. Do you still want to pursue my crimes?"

"Does the Queen Mother really want to abandon all the people in the world for Su Yi?"

The Queen Mother said: "How can we abandon the people of the world and ignore them?"

Then, a terrible silence fell again.

Although invisible, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces seemed to see a huge ravine between them and countless banner ministers.

Waited for a while.

The Queen Mother said: "Since there is nothing else to do, let's retreat from the court."

Then, the queen mothers of the two palaces took the little emperor away.

"Farewell to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." The civil and military officials spoke in a sparse voice.

After the Queen Mother and the Emperor left, the civil and military officials still stayed where they were.

Is this the shortest court meeting? It only takes about a quarter of an hour from start to finish.

After a long while, the civil and military officials gradually left.

Ande Hai came to Su Yi and said, "Xiang Su, the Queen Mother has summoned you."

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

Su Yi followed Ande Hai to Sanxi Hall.

"Master Su, please go in."

Ander closed the door and backed out.

Su Yi entered Sanxi Hall. I really didn't know why they often met here. This was the place where Emperor Xianfeng often stayed.

Yehenala sat there quietly, sobbing continuously.

After seeing Su Yi come in, her tears kept flowing.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"You killed so many bannermen, but in the end you asked us two women to endorse you and take the blame for you."

"The guy in the east doesn't care about anything, so I take care of everything."

"You have also seen the situation today. So many bannermen and ministers are looking at me coldly."

"These bannermen forced me, and you forced me too. In the end, they left me with such a blade-width place. As soon as I set foot, I was dripping with blood."

"In the end, you got what you wanted. You forced me onto your ship and forced all the bannermen to oppose you."

Then, she gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "Anyway, I am already prepared. If I am scolded by them, my reputation will be ruined. At worst, I will be shattered to pieces in the future."

"Anyway, even if they don't kill me, you, like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, will still force me to death."

Su Yi quietly let her vent.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Aren't you usually the most talkative?"

"As soon as you export, you will be your country's people. Once you export, you will be your country. No one can compare with you."

"If you can't say anything, just send troops to kill people."

Su Yi still didn't speak.

Yehenala gradually became quiet and said: "Rong Lu said that if I don't support you, you will lead the army south, and the north and the south will be divided from then on. But based on what I know about you, you probably won't. ”

"Then tell me now, if I don't support you, will you lead your army south and return to Jiujiang?"

Su Yi shook his head and said, "No."

"I knew it, I knew it." Yehenala said: "You, a living Cao Cao, must force me to death."

Then she started crying again.

With a gorgeous face, she cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain.

"Next, I will be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people."

"From now on, my life will definitely be uneasy."

Su Yi stepped forward gently, gently touched her face and wiped her tears.

The beautiful Queen Mother gradually stopped crying and her breathing began to become heavier.

The heartbeat also gradually accelerated.

"Su Yi, what do you think those people will do next?"

"Will they do evil in secret? Will they assassinate you and me?"

"Will they summon the 100,000 disbanded Eight Banners soldiers to rebel?"

"What's going on at the Yangtze River Estuary? Will there be a war? What about the Russians in the north?"

Yehenara kept talking, trying to ease the ambiguous and bizarre atmosphere in front of him.

Then, Su Yi kept stepping forward and she kept retreating.

Gently untie her longhua (scarf).

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?" Yehenala said tremblingly.

Then, he was gently pushed to the ground by Su Yi.

Gently unbutton her collar.

The Queen Mother used her hands and feet to run away, and said in a low voice: "Su Yi, you are so brave. This is the late Emperor's study, and I am the Queen Mother. Are you going to cause trouble?"

She crawled on her hands and knees to escape, while Su Yi caught up with her.

Gently pull off her uniform.

In just a few moments, the gorgeous headgear and uniforms were scattered all over the place.

All that was left on Yehenala's body was thin underwear.

The snow-white body fills the room with appearance.

"Su Yi, what are you going to do? Go away, go away!"

"I'm calling someone, I'm calling someone!"

Su Yi stepped forward and grabbed the rope of his pocket. With a slight tug, infinite beauty would be revealed before her eyes.

He still held on to the rope and said softly: "Everyone calls me Dong Zhuo and says I am a filthy mess in the palace."

"The Queen Mother often scolds me Dong Zhuo."

"If I don't take my seat, won't I be living up to the expectations of the people in the world?"

Yehenala gritted her teeth and said, "Huh, Dong Zhuo has never blasphemed against Queen Mother He."

Su Yi said: "The Empress Dowager He did not fall in love with Dong Zhuo and had an affair."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yehenara asked in a cold voice, "How do I agree with you?"

"Let go and get out immediately. I will pretend that nothing happened."

Su Yi gently pulled the rope.

Yehenala let out a low cry and covered the snow mountain with all her strength.

Then he closed his eyes and said: "Come on, come on. After sleeping, I will jump into the well immediately to avoid being subjected to your endless humiliation."

Su Yi said slowly: "Okay."

"Then you're welcome."
