I can't die

At this time, Zai Chun's whole thoughts and forces were devoted to quelling the Taiping Army's war, and he didn't know that his backyard was on fire, and it was his own mother Cixi who lit the fire.By the time he realized something was wrong, Cixi's vanguard had already launched a challenge to his imperial power.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zaichun started the first court of the new year after the 20-day seal of writing. This is the first early court in the "first year of Tongzhi". Its historical significance is extraordinary, symbolizing the emperor Tongzhi. Zaichun began to officially have his own reign in history.

Naturally, at this court meeting, Minister of Rites took the lead in putting forward issues such as "changing the year" and "respectful title". Of course, Zaichun had already known about these issues and readily agreed.Then Shengbao, the minister of the Ministry of War, played the front-line battle report of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since it was all good news, he didn't hesitate.

Hearing that the first day of the new year's court was all good news, Zai Chun was very satisfied, and asked joyfully, "Even so, let the Ministry of Rites give you the rewards that should be awarded. Who else would like to present the performance?" , and retreated without incident."

As soon as the words were finished, Dong Yuanchun, the censor, came out of the queue and came to the center of the hall, holding a book in his hand, and said loudly: "I have a book to play."

Dong Yuanchun has now served as a second-rank senior official in the Inspectorate because of his contribution to quelling the chaos of the eight ministers. This red-capped son is quite prestigious in the court.

"Oh? You said."

Zai Chun's tone was indifferent, but there was a "click" in his heart, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.The duty of the censor is to supervise all officials and impeach them. Now the court's civil and military focus is on calming down the Taiping Army. Why is Dong Yuanchun going to play at this time?To impeach someone?Could it be that someone in the court wants to start a party struggle at this time?

"Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, although the rebellion of the eight ministers has been put down, internal troubles continue. There was the White Lotus Sect in the past, and the Taiping rebels assassinated in the future. The defense of the capital is the top priority. I ask the emperor to resume the post of infantry commander. "

It was said before that the commander of the infantry battalion in the capital was originally Duanhua among the eight ministers. After Duanhua fell, he is now under the temporary management of the Ministry of War Minister Sheng Bao on behalf of the Ministry of War.Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that it was a bit unconventional for the infantry battalion not to have a commander, but when they thought of the emperor's thoughts, they had always been tacit.Never thought that Dong Yuanchun would actually bring it up.

Zai Chun was taken aback when he heard Dong Yuanchun's words, and then immediately raised the cordon to the highest point, and asked casually, "Then who does Dong Aiqing think is more suitable?"

"Prince Chun Yizhen is in charge of the Shanpu camp, and he has quite a lot of experience. I think he is very suitable."

As soon as these words came out, Zai Chun's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then his eyes swept across the five military ministers, especially the leader, Prince Gong Yi.Everyone in the world knows that Dong Yuanchun belongs to Yi. Could it be that he said so at the behest of Prince Gong Yi? (When the eight ministers seized power before, it was Dong Yuanchun who played the test for Prince Gong.)

Could it be that the people from the Military Aircraft Department reached some conditions with Cixi, so they planned to use their own military department?This is because he feels that he is young and wants to seize power?

"Does the emperor feel the same way? En?"

Zai Chun asked word by word, the tone in his words could be heard by anyone.

Prince Gong was also very surprised when he heard Dong Yuanchun's performance.Everyone in the world knows that Dong Yuanchun belongs to him, but he knows best in his heart that this matter was definitely not ordered by him, and he didn't even know it beforehand! !

"I think that this matter still needs a holy order."

Prince Gong couldn't decide to pay attention for a while, and then kicked a ball to Zai Chun.But this action, in the eyes of those who don't know it, somewhat seems that Prince Gong seems to support Dong Yuanchun.

At this time, Zai Chun's heart was full of alarm bells, and all kinds of conspiracy theories came out.

At this moment, Cixi, who was sitting behind the curtain of the dragon chair, also suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Ai family also thinks that Prince Chun is quite suitable."

In this way, it seems that the empress dowagers of the two palaces joined forces with the ministers of the military aircraft department to demonstrate to the emperor.It would be fine if he was appointed by another official position, but the infantry commander in the capital controls two-thirds of the military power in the capital. Whoever controls it will almost choke the lifeblood of the capital's safety. How can Zai Chun be willing to hand it over to Prince Chun?

Even if this person is Cixi's brother-in-law, and Cixi is Zaichun's own mother, how few royal mothers and sons have turned their faces?What's more, the case of Duanhua leading the infantry in the capital to threaten the imperial power is close at hand, who can not think too much?

Thinking of this, Zai Chun couldn't help but turned his head on the dragon chair and took a deep look at Ci Xi who was sitting behind the curtain, and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.

Cixi is really Cixi, she really likes to seize power just like in history.

"We will discuss this matter later, I need to think about it."

Listening to Zai Chun's words, Cixi already knew that Zai Chun would not give up the military power of the infantry in the capital so easily. She cleared her throat and asked Ci'an, "What do you think, sister?"

Although Ci'an had already gotten along with Cixi, but now she listened to the emperor's tone, thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "If the emperor wants to think about it, let's think about it for a few more days. After all, this is also the appointment of a second-rank officer. The Ministry of War What does the waiter think?"

When Cixi heard Ci'an's words, she screamed inwardly that it was not good, and felt great hatred in her heart, she never thought that Ci'an would say such things at this juncture, it seemed like a slap in the face.

At this point, Shengbao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had no choice but to step forward and reply: "I also think that the emperor needs to think about it for a few more days. After all, the chaos of the eight ministers is imminent. We have to guard against it."

This has to be guarded against, who to guard against?Shengbao almost didn't say it clearly.When Prince Jin heard this, he didn't dare to take this sentence, and hurried forward to argue: "I dare not learn from Duanhua's disobedience, and I am loyal to the court. Your Majesty sees it!"

At this point, Dong Yuanchun felt unwilling, and immediately continued his efforts: "Prince Chun is not only a noble relative of the Eight Banners, but also known for his meritorious service. He is naturally loyal. It couldn't be more suitable. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much."

At this time, Prince Gong didn't realize that Dong Yuanchun had been bought by Prince Jin and Cixi, so he was so angry that he was already furious and scolded Dong Yuanchun for betraying the Lord. Now the courtiers thought that Prince Gong felt the same way. He is such a big black pot.

"Your Majesty, let the Military Aircraft Department draw up a regulation on this matter." Prince Gong said.It's not easy to turn your face out, so you can only delay.

Zai Chun didn't know that Dong Yuanchun had betrayed Prince Gong and voted for Cixi, he just thought that these people came to persecute him in a collusion.He didn't think about anything else at the moment, and said angrily: "In that case, I will wait for the imperial uncle's charter and retire!"

In this way, Zai Chun didn't want to look at the faces of these courtiers anymore, and walked out of Qianqing Palace on his own.Cixi Ci'an watched the emperor leave angrily, so she couldn't stay longer, so she had to retreat to the harem when she was busy, but when Cixi walked past Ci'an, she couldn't help but said dissatisfiedly: "Sister really plays by ear."

When Ci'an heard the words, she pretended not to hear Cixi's voice: "My sister is like this, so don't make her divorce from the emperor, after all, you are the real mother and son."

After finishing speaking, Ci'an took the lead and walked back to Zhongcui Palace leisurely.Cixi was left to curse secretly!

The author has something to say: This Empress Dowager Cixi will still be dancing for a long time, at least 50 more chapters. . . .In history, the real contradiction is to wait until Zai Chun becomes an adult and choose a queen for him. If you are interested, you can Baidu it. At that time, mother and son quarreled almost every day.Cixi also personally killed Zai Chun's original wife, the queen. When the queen died, she was still pregnant with Zai Chun's son. . . .
