Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Early the next morning, an astonishing news came out: the eight ministers were so angry that they simply dropped the pick!

It turns out that Sushun and others didn't even open the box for all the documents sent back from the internal memorial office, and put aside the issued edicts and memorials.This is a very ruthless trick of "choking the neck". The edict cannot leave the palace gate without the military plane. This is like pinching a person's neck, it will kill him.From this moment on, people with a little brains have already clearly realized that it is inevitable that the eight ministers who take care of their fate will inevitably suffer disaster, because this constitutes a rebellious behavior, and no one above can tolerate it.

This is an unprecedented and serious stalemate, and the only chance to resolve it is to hope that the two palaces will summon it, and Gu Ming and the eight ministers have made concessions, and the rebuttal can be revised and issued, although this has hurt harmony , after all, it is not quite a break.However, as time passed, this chance became more and more slim.

Things have come to this point, the empress dowagers of the two palaces are basically as if they are under house arrest except for the empty airs left.Everyone inside and outside the palace, including the master, ministers and servants, was in panic.The only one who seemed to be safe and sound, was Xiao Ran, who got two furry house sparrows from somewhere, put them in cages, and taught the thrushes and elder brothers in Dongnuange one by one. They don't know how to bark in a serious way anymore, and they bark like that thief.The queen was angry and impatient, she pulled her over and asked, "What should I do? What should I do?" Xiao Ran only said: "Concubine Yi will find a solution."

Concubine Yi's patience is astonishing.Persisting to the point of almost hopelessness, she finally found the queen, took out the seal of Tongdao Hall with trembling hands, and stamped it on the draft of refuting the curtain's argument, together with Dong Yuanchun's original manuscript. Send it down together. The trick of "choking the neck" finally forced the empress dowagers of the two palaces to surrender!Gu Ming and the eight ministers won a complete victory, and the joy is beyond words.Waiting for Ming's discovery, the reactions caused are extremely complicated, some are horrified, some sigh, some are frustrated, some are angry, but there are also many people who recognize the authority of Minister Gu Ming to praise government affairs, and are planning what they should go way.

Only Xiao Ran knew best, but Sushun finally walked into the trap step by step!

Li Ran didn't come to interfere with the matter, which was even a bit unexpected for Su Shun, who soon figured it out, he was using Prince Gong to blackmail him to return to Luan.The intention is obvious, if you don't return to Luan as soon as possible, if there is any trouble again, it may be more difficult to end than this time.After all, a direct confrontation with the queens of the two palaces is a dangerous move, and it must not be used lightly unless it is a last resort.

So the pace of arranging to return to Luan accelerated a lot overnight.Up and down in the palace, it is extremely busy, people come and go, boxes and cages are piled up, everyone is filled with unconcealable excitement, and finally they are going back to Luan!After all, the palace is not a place to live for a long time, and most of the relatives and friends are in Beijing, so it is inevitable to return home.

At this moment, Xiao Ran felt an unprecedented tension.The whole return arrangement was basically consistent with the impression left on him by the movies he had seen.But in it, something seems to be missing.

what is it?Although he had a superb memory, he couldn't keep everything in his mind.But this kind of intuition similar to the sixth sense has always made him faintly uneasy.Until two days before returning to Luan, a guard suddenly came from the yamen of the infantry commander in the capital, saying that the retinue Zigong returned to Beijing.Although there are pro-military followers, the practice of the infantry leading the yamen is equivalent to the pick-up troops of the outposts, and it is not an outrageous move.

The number of guards is small, only 500 people.But the fifth-rank infantry military academy leading the team really surprised Xiao Ran.He had heard this person's name before in his previous life, and it was—Rong Lu!

Only then did he finally remember what he had missed.It turns out that there was such a legend in history.When the empress dowagers of the two palaces returned to Luan, Zai and Duanhua made a secret plan to assassinate Concubine Yi, and even sent a master assassin.Because of the special relationship with Concubine Yi, Rong Lu desperately escorted Concubine Yi to return to Beijing safely.Xiao Ran doesn't really believe this kind of statement, because judging from Sushun's behavior style.I'm afraid he would not agree to such a crazy move.But in extraordinary times, it is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you have.

Ronglu, according to the movie, is Cixi's old lover.Before Ye Helan'er entered the palace, her family was in Hefei, Anhui Province, and she and Rong Lu used to be neighbors.The two hit it off so much that they almost decided for life.Later, Lan Er entered the palace and was favored.He didn't forget about this elder brother Rong, and tried every means to get him to be a guard in the palace.As for how to run to the infantry to command the yamen, Xiao Ran has never heard of it.Baolu found out that when he was still in the capital, Concubine Yi intended to help Ronglu get promoted, and helped him open the vacancy of the infantry yamen from the pro-army guards, which was regarded as a military post.

Rong Lu's arrival, to Xiao Ran, was like throwing a pillow when he was drowsy, whatever he wanted.With his cooperation.Your own next step plan can be seamless.If it is correct, with Concubine Yi's vigilance, she must find a way to transfer Rong Lu to her side to protect her. The queen will be taken care of by herself and Lin Qing'er, everything should be safe.

So, the fun is about to begin!

The first night when I really returned to Luang.Xiao Ran, the Empress, Lin Qing'er and Baolu stayed up almost all night, and they got together to finalize every step of the plan in detail.It wasn't until this time that the queen finally understood Xiao Ran's intentions, and she couldn't help being nervous and excited at the same time.No matter for her or Xiao Ran, this is a crucial battle. If she wins, she will be able to live in the sun with integrity from now on.If you lose, even if you don't lose your life, you will become a puppet in the hands of others!

The fate of the two people is closely linked together.Now, there is only one way to fight!

At the beginning of time.After rinsing and washing, pass on the breakfast meal, and the breakfast meal, the head of the respect room came to invite you, and all the ministers were already waiting in the hall.After the little emperor gave a drink and mourned, he put the heavy coffin of Emperor Xianfeng on the "big pole" carried by 120 eight bearers, and then the little emperor was led by Chun Wang and Jingshou to wait in front of the main gate of the Rehe Palace. As soon as Zigong passed, the ministers knelt and sent them on the road.

Sushun personally escorted Zigong back to Beijing, and took the main road. According to normal calculations, it should arrive in Beijing a few days later than the people who took the small road back to Luan.Accompanying them were the pro-armies of Duanhua, Zaiyuan and Jingshou. They were divided into three teams, front, middle and back, with a total of nearly ten thousand people. They snaked along the plank road like a long snake.Recently, the friction with the eight ministers has escalated step by step. Everyone, including the queen, is unavoidably a little terrified, worried that Sushun will make some outrageous move.He went all the way into Juyongguan in fear, and he was only half relieved when he heard that Shengbao led two thousand soldiers from the capital to meet him.

It should be said that with regard to Dong Yuanchun's memorial, Sushun and the others were somewhat overwhelmed by the final compromise made by the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and even Duanhua, who had always been the most restless, and Zaiyuan, who was suspicious by nature, completely relaxed. Do you think that this time you took the seven inches of the two young widows, and in the future it is not the dough in your hands, you can make it round if you want, and flatten it if you want?There is even an illusion to some extent that the turmoil of the curtain has passed, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces have completely given up in the face of the ancestral family law!

So during this journey, the legendary scene of assassinating the two palaces did not appear, and everything was done step by step and in an orderly manner.Xiao Ran didn't pay much attention to this point, after all, apart from Ronglu's five hundred soldiers, he also held the trump cards of Sushun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua, so forgive them for not daring to act rashly.

Not to mention Lin Qing'er.In fact, this girl alone can't handle big things among thousands of troops, but as long as she sees her slender figure by her side, she feels indescribably at ease.

On June [-]th, after passing Miyun, we were only one day away from the capital.Officials of the third grade or above are required to pick up their cars here.Shengbao's troops were arranged by Duanhua to clear the way in front, and Ronglu's five hundred attendants were near the two palace sedan chairs.Waiting for the big sedan chair of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, walked along the sidewalk of Huangsha, looked at the entrance of the street, looked back at the team, ran two steps to the queen's big black cloth sedan chair, raised his hand on the sedan chair Tap twice.The queen understood, and immediately ordered the sedan chair to stop. Concubine Chuanyi came over and said she had something to discuss.Duanhua and Zai walked behind, and seeing the team stop, they were a little puzzled, not knowing what the hell they were going to do.Just about to go forward to ask what happened.Suddenly a dozen tall horses ran over from the front, and the one in the front was tall and handsome, with a handsome and fierce face.Followed by a young and handsome eunuch, but it was Xiao Ran.

只

Jumping off the horse, he said with a smile: "Mother, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, ordered the two to have something to say to the princes."

"We're about to go to the palace, what can't we say for a while?" Zai Yuan felt a little vigilant in his heart.Duanhua whispered: "You two girls, what the hell are you doing! Let's go, go and have a look."

"Wait!" Zai Yuan grabbed Duanhua, turned his head and said to Xiao Ran: "Eunuch Xiao, the ministers are waiting in front, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to stop now. I don't know what the two empress dowagers have ordered ?”

It's kind of disrespectful to ask this question.Rong Lu slightly frowned.But Xiao Ran smiled calmly and said: "Isn't it! The year before last, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager stayed here for one night with the Emperor Daxing Beishun. Let’s go back to Beijing again, but I don’t know if this is in compliance with the rules, so I’m going to discuss it with the two princes!”

"It turned out to be this matter!" Zai Yuan was relieved now, pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, everything in Beijing has already been arranged, and there is no delay in the schedule. Fourth brother. Let's go talk to the Queen Mother."

Duanhua looked at Zaiyuan's rather nervous look, and couldn't help but secretly amused, and glanced back at the long line intentionally or unintentionally.Nearly [-] people in the pro-army really don't believe that the queen mother of the two palaces and a fake eunuch can do anything.At that moment, the two followed Xiao Ran to the front of the two palaces.He was careless for a while, but he didn't notice that Rong Lu didn't follow.

When I got to the front of the car, I really asked about stopping the car.Zai Yuan and the two talked back.Then play please drive.Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran smiled from the side: "No hurry, no hurry. Now that we have seen the capital, look at the beautiful mountains and rivers, won't the two lords not miss it? I think it would be good to take another look."

After hearing this, it was like a thunderbolt sounded in the clear sky. Zaiyuan and Duanhua were stunned for a while, and it took a long time to recover.Duanhua jumped up suddenly.Roaring: "The masters are talking, how can you, a slave, interrupt!"

"What if I said so?"

A deep and gloomy voice sounded, Zai Yuan suddenly turned his head to look, and suddenly fell to the ground.The hats were scared off. "Old... old six!"

A group of people rushed up, and the first person was tall, with a plain head, face sinking like water, his eyes narrowed slightly, shooting a cold look, it was Prince Gong Yi.

The accompanying troops were also stunned. Looking behind Prince Gong, it was Du Tong Shengbao, Deputy Du Tong Shengbao of the Eight Banners Garrisoned in Shandong, with more than a thousand troops, guns loaded and bows strung, full of murderous intent.Ronglu's five hundred soldiers firmly guarded the sedan chairs of the two palaces, and the clanging of swords and guns was heard.Who dares to move lightly at this time?

Duanhua finally understood what the sudden appearance of these people meant. He pointed at King Gong and shouted: "Lao Liu, you are not dead! Your Majesty Huiluan, what are you doing here? You want to rebel Is it?"

"Who said I didn't greet you? Didn't I come to greet you on purpose?" Yi sneered, put down his sleeves, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "Chen Yi, Zhou Zupei, Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang, etc., kneel down and beg the emperor to bow ten thousand install."

Behind him were Gui Liang, Wen Xiang and other ministers, who all knelt down and greeted in unison.Duanhua yelled: "Reverse, rebellious! Whose order are you all following, dare to act wild here?"

Xiao Ran shouted loudly from the side: "I'm here to give you an order!"

"Shangyu?" Zaiyuanji roared, "Without the proposal of the military aircraft, where did the Shangyu come from! Queen Mother, what is this? Is it Yizhi?!"

"Whether it is Yizhi or not, the two princes can figure it out for themselves." Concubine Yi's cold voice came from the sedan chair.Then the Queen's voice said: "Little Sanzi, deliver the decree!"

"Cover!" Xiao Ran kowtowed to the sedan chair, stood up and took out a decree, opened it and read it: "To the princes and officials: Last year, the sea and border were not peaceful, and the capital was under martial law. Zai and others were unable to negotiate with all their heart, but they were only trying to lure the British envoys into their own responsibilities, causing the countries to lose their trust, and the Dian Garden was disturbed; my emperor inspected and visited Rehe, and it was the last resort of the Sacred Heart..."

This is an extremely long decree, which was drawn up by Cao Yuying, a close friend of Prince Gong and Zhang Jing of the military, with a knife. , so that the Eucharist violated harmony and collapsed.This is the cause of the death of Emperor Daxing.All three are to blame.He also said: "At the beginning of the imperial court, I wanted to punish his crimes again, but Si Yi and others were ministers who took care of his fate, so they were temporarily exempted to see the effect later." The conversation changed, in the tone of the emperor.He thinks that the three major events mentioned by Xun Yuanchun "deeply meet my wishes". Honorable Congquan, I personally sent an edict to Zaiyuan and others, and delivered the decree as requested."

"The king's ministers played the right time. It is no longer the courtesy of a minister to argue. When drafting the decree, it was positively obedient and negatively violated. It was rewritten without authorization and promulgated as my decree. What's the sincerity? And Zaiyuan and others always said that they dare not be exclusive. The fact of non-specialization is always because I am too old, the empress dowager can't understand the state affairs deeply, let Yi and others deceive, can she deceive the world? This is because Yi and others have failed the emperor's deep kindness. ?How to obey the world's public opinion? Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushun will be dismissed immediately. Jingshou, Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying, quit the Military Aircraft Department. , Zhan, Ke, Dao, and the culprits deserved by Yi and others are divided into severity and played according to the law. As for how the empress dowager should hang the curtain, they will play a meeting together. Special order!"

Xiao Ran had recited the decree.The officials are solemn, and Zai's face is even more earthy.Duanhua refused to accept it, and did not kneel down. He bared his teeth and clawed and shouted: "This is a rebellion! Without Minister Gu Ming's proposal, how could there be an order from the earth! Emperor Daxing's body is not cold yet, do you gangsters want to rebel?"

Yiren Mansion! "

"I have no edict to serve! Old Sixth. You are plotting against the emperor! You are deceiving the emperor and destroying the ancestors!" Duan Hua's eyes were red and he looked crazy, "Guard, where is the guard?! Jing Shou, Jing Shou! "

Jing Shou, Du Han and other ministers of Gu Ming were walking behind the team at this time.The accompanying army guards were no more than a thousand people, who would dare to move lightly when Ronglu's personal soldiers and Shengbao's army forced him twice?Only around Duanhua and Zaiyuan, there are hundreds of dead men who have been raised for many years.

The guards rushed over to grab people like wolves and tigers, but half of them gave up when they saw the situation was not good. Thirty to fifty of them barely resisted for a while, and all of them were shot to death.

With such a commotion in front, the pro-army of the brigade behind must be able to detect it, but for some reason there is no movement at all.Zai's face was ashes, and he sighed: "It's over, it's over!" Duanhua still shouted to himself: "Lao Liu, you dare to touch me! I still have my own army behind me!" Hearing a chaotic sound of horseshoes, the first person was fully clothed. , Holding a large iron sword in his hand, he shouted: "Zhanan, the commander of the state soldiers and horses, is escorted by the order!" After hearing this, Duanhua's eyes suddenly went dark.It turned out that Prince Gong had planned it long ago, and not only Shengbao's troops were mobilized, but even the southern part of Zhazhou was dispatched!

When they got close, the knights rolled off their saddles and fell to their knees.In addition to the leader Zhanan, there is also a burly man who is Rong Lu, who knelt down and said: "I have ordered you to take over as the commander of the pro-army guards. Now I will join the general's headquarters and have captured Jing Shou and other rebellious officials. !"

This is a secret decree issued by Concubine Yi at the behest of the Empress.Rong Lu was originally a bodyguard, but most of the pro-army knew him.Seeing that they were surrounded by the south of Zhouzha, everyone knew that the situation was over.Rong Lu took the opportunity to take out the secret decree and took over as the commander of the guards, with the muzzle of a gun pointed to his forehead, who would dare not obey the decree?

Jing Shou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, Jiao Youying and others also knew that they were completely finished at this time, so they could only obediently tie their hands.After a while, they tied them in a string and led them over. Zaiyuan and Duanhua had already been captured here. The seven ministers looked at each other and said in their hearts: It's the end!Duan Huawu hissed loudly: "It's unreasonable! You bastard! How dare you treat the ministers of the country like this? Devil six, you are conspiring against me! Xiao Ran, you dare to play tricks on me, you fake..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of a hu, a fist-sized stone slammed straight at the corner of Duanhua's mouth, and a big mouthful of blood spurted out from his front teeth, and he fell down after looking at it.Looking back, Lin Qing'er clapped her hands as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, this girl was clever and had already guarded against this move.

Zai Yuan had softened into a puddle of mud at this time.Prince Gong waved his arm fiercely, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Don't take him away!" A guard had already rushed forward, dragged them down and stuffed them into a large cart, and Sheng Bao personally escorted him. Linlin went in the direction of Wangjing city.

The original pro-army, led by Rong Lu, went back to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing first.Prince Gong, Gui Liang and his party, together with Zha Nanan, escorted the two palaces and the little emperor, and stopped at the Nanshicao Palace in the northwest of Shunyi County.Although there is no expected worst scene, it is indeed thrilling.After all, the empress had never experienced such a scene. As soon as she arrived in the palace, her feet began to weaken, and she let Xiao Ran and Lin Qing'er help her. As soon as she entered the bedroom and was next to the brocade couch, she suddenly felt that she had lost all strength in her body.Recalling the scene just now, I still have lingering fears.Xiao Ran said from the side: "Now is not the time to rest. Sushun has been in power for many years, and he must have many eyeliners. If we move our heads here, we will not be noticed there. We must pass the decree immediately while we are not prepared. Capture Sushun!"

"Isn't Lao Liu doing something?"
