late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 33
When I went out, I saw An Dehai standing in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and yelling, as if he was teaching some young eunuchs a lesson.

It really is a scourge, it seems that he must be removed as soon as possible.

Just as I was thinking, a leather whip suddenly came towards me. I couldn't dodge in time, and was whipped on my arm. Immediately, blood oozed from my skin.

It can be seen how much strength the opponent has used.

I covered the wound with one hand, and looked at them like a falcon. The little eunuch holding the whip shook his hand and immediately knelt down.

"Master Tang, spare me! The slave didn't do it on purpose!"

"You blind slave!" An Dehai gave the little eunuch a kick, and immediately ran towards me with an apologetic smile, "Master Tang, are you all right, how about I find you an imperial physician? "

I looked at An Dehai's gloating face, and I knew very well that this whip was deliberately ordered by him.

"No need, Eunuch An, don't forget that this is the Hall of Mental Cultivation, making noise here, you have a few heads to chop off."

I snorted coldly, turned around and entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and returned to my room.

"God, my lord, what's wrong with you? This servant will help you treat your wound!" Mei Shuang exclaimed, and immediately found the wound medicine and the cotton cloth to bandage the wound.

I took off my clothes, accidentally, the ancient book Han Yun gave me fell out of the clothes, I hurriedly bent down to pick it up, who knows, the moment my hand touched the book, the book Suddenly released a burst of brilliance.

I was startled, and I was stunned for three seconds before I realized that this book is definitely not simple.

"My lord, this book will shine." Mei Shuang looked at the book in amazement, her eyes were so wide that she almost stuck her eyeballs on it.

"Go and guard the door, don't let outsiders in."

I seem to have casually placed the ancient book on the table behind me, not to let Mei Shuang see it. After all, this phenomenon is too weird, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Yes, my lord." Mei Shuang answered with a bow, walked out of the room quickly, and closed the door.

After confirming that Mei Shuang had gone out, I started to study it carefully.

It turned out that the light came from the words on the cover. It was strange to say that the cover that didn't have a single word originally had the words 'Tianlun Jue' flashing at this moment.

The point is that those three words are still glowing, which is not scientific at all, and I can't figure out the mystery of it.

What does 'Tianlun Jue' mean?
I couldn't figure it out. Just as I was about to open the book to look at the contents, the three words on the cover suddenly disappeared, and there was no word inside. Everything returned to its original state, as if it was just my hallucination.

What exactly is going on? !
I carefully turned the book inside and out, even poking through the gaps in the book, but still found nothing.

This is too weird, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it if I was killed.

But why is there nothing now? Could it be that there is some mechanism on it, and I just touched the mechanism...

Or it is as written in martial arts novels, soaking in water and roasting with fire...

I feel a little crazy. These methods are often mentioned in novels. However, I didn’t soak them in water and bake them with fire just now. This book has also published words. What is wrong?

May 1861, 10 sunny
After a few days of gloomy weather, the weather finally cleared up. I studied the ancient books all night, but still found nothing.

Early in the morning, Mei Shuang waited on me to put on the court clothes and prepare to go to court.

I have to say that my life in the palace is thanks to Mei Shuang, otherwise, I would not know those ministers at all.

And Mei Shuang seemed to be intentionally reminding me of their names and identities. From this, I was even more sure that Mei Shuang must have seen something.

We just don't know it.

Going to court, a seemingly simple thing, has a lot of mystery, and there are many rules. For example, most ministers enter the palace through the Donghua Gate, and there are special rules for where to dismount and where to dismount. Some people can sit on the "wearing court sedan chair" and ride "wearing court horses". These are officials with special rewards.

Secondly, those who can go to the palace are generally servants, bachelors, prime ministers, ministers of military aircraft, serving generals of the third rank and above, the emperor's direct uncles, or princes. Others are not allowed to go to the palace. Unless it is an important festival, there will be a situation where hundreds of officials go to the palace.

So, I'm very surprised, how could my little historian notify me to go to the hall to pay homage.

Secondly, there is another very "unique" place in the court of the Qing Dynasty, which is lighting, because the time of the court in the Qing Dynasty is very early, sometimes when the sky is not bright, like the prince and the ministers, there are special personnel to light the lamps. The lights lead to the two gates of Jingyun and Longzong.

The Minister of Military Aircraft has corner lamps leading to the inner right door, as well as the officials of the Office of Reporting, the officials of the Yamen of various ministries, and the officials of Titang of each province, because the various documents and reports they sent in advance may become the emperor's keynote address at the court meeting. Putting forward the agenda for discussion and thus also chartering the lamp.

The remaining people who are not qualified to light the lamps can only use their lamps to go up. Therefore, every time a lamp is lit, a group of people usually flock to it.

These are what Mei Shuang told me, and I just listened to them for entertainment, after all, these things have nothing to do with me.

When I rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sky was not yet fully bright, and those ministers were already waiting outside.

Hearing An Dehai's shout of "Going to court", the ministers walked in in order.

I didn't know where I should stand, so I followed at the end, in short, the less conspicuous the better.

When we arrived at the main hall, the six-year-old Emperor Tongzhi was sitting on the dragon chair at the top of the main hall, behind a bright yellow curtain, and sitting behind were the two empress dowagers Ci'an and Cixi.

I followed other ministers and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the emperor and queen mother.

"Get up."

Only after hearing a sound like a breeze, all our ministers stood up.

"Proclaim the decree." It was the voice of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

When An Dehai got the order, he announced the decree loudly on it, and we all knelt down again, "By heaven's favor, the emperor ordered that Prince Gong Yiyi be the king of politics and the minister of military affairs. He ordered Guiliang, the great scholar, and Shen Zhaolin, the secretary of the household department. , servants Baojun, Wenxiang, and Tang Zhongzheng are ministers of military aircraft."

I was shocked when I heard my name suddenly. How could this happen? It seems that there is no military minister like me in history, right? !Moreover, I am not a servant, just a small historian.

All of this suddenly became weird. Ever since the ancient book became strange, everything seemed to be different.
