[Comprehensive] Emperor

Chapter 77 Capture

Seize power

Here, the Empress Dowager Cixi was brought back to the Palace of Compassion by Li Tan's cronies. She sat on the chair for a while, shook her head violently, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? The aura was trapped, and he couldn't reply at all, and he said something that shouldn't be said, could it be that he was under some kind of black magic?"

Of course, it will definitely not be that simple for Li Tan to deal with Cixi. After all, a woman like Cixi has gone through so many things, how can she be a waste who can be frightened by a few words?Therefore, when confronting her, Li Tan rarely used the internal force that he had never used before, and released some momentum to suppress the Empress Dowager Cixi. When the Empress Dowager Cixi panicked, she lost her original calm and made a wrong move.

Li Tan has never used internal force because the last world relied too much on the value of force, which led to that end. This time, he planned not to use any special force to fight, but the accident came too fast, which made him a little flustered. I couldn't help but sigh that I was still a little tender, and for the sake of the overall situation, I still used external force.

However, facing the ministers who were impressed with him at this time, he was full of imperial fanfare: "So, which general is willing to lead troops to show the French people some color?"

The ministers were silent for a while, and a man who looked very mighty and had a white beard but still made people think that he was not very old came out: "Mr.

Li Tan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he didn't expect a big fish to explode.

It turns out that this person is named Zuo Zongtang, a national hero evaluated by later generations, but... Li Tan frowned: "This... Zuo Qing is willing to lead the army, I am very pleased, but Zuo Qing is old..."

When Zuo Zongtang heard that Li Tan suspected him, he was not happy: "Your Majesty, although I am old, I also know that I have a long-term ambition! Since there are thieves who dare to violate our national prestige in the Qing Dynasty, I am naturally obliged! The emperor is not a minister. Those little bastards who are recruits can't keep up with my old bones!"

As soon as Li Tan told Zuo Zongtang that it was reasonable, after all, there was no young general who could fight in the imperial court, so he nodded: "Okay, since Zuo Qing has such a wish, then I will be named the National Protector." General, lead an army of [-] to march."

"The minister leads the decree!" Zuo Zongtang was overjoyed. He had been fighting on the battlefield when he was with Xianfeng. Since that woman Cixi (Zuo Zongtang's words) came to power, there were fewer battles, and he was free. No, now that the new emperor has the will to fight, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

As if seeing Zuo Zongtang's excitement, Li Tan whispered a few words to the guard beside him, and after a while the guard brought up a box, Li Tan took the box from the guard's hand with a smile, and took out a box from it. A musket: "Also, in recent years, I have had the opportunity to acquire a musket that is better than a Western pistol. Half of this musket is a gun. The range is farther than traditional muskets, and the recoil is also light. A gun can fire [-] rounds at a time. Bullets. The other half is knives, that is to say, after the gunpowder and bullets are used up, the remaining cold weapons and knives can also be used to save lives."

The ministers were astonished, and circulated the musket one after another, and they were even more afraid of the emperor who had been silent before in front of him.Unexpectedly, the little emperor was hiding his clumsiness before, and prepared so much in secret.Obviously, if the Empress Dowager Cixi hadn't "killed herself" today, she wouldn't know how Cixi would be treated when the little emperor really became full-fledged.

But at the same time, they also felt that it would be a good thing to follow such an emperor. After all, life would be easier if the emperor could be their ministers.

It wasn't until everyone present had finished watching the firearms that Li Tan said: "Because it was in the research period, only 1 were made, and now all of them are given to Zuo Qing. Zuo Qing can choose [-] elite soldiers to train as the firearms team!"

Zuo Zongtang's eyes lit up, and he knelt down and kowtowed willingly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! This time, with the help of a divine weapon, we will definitely win the battle!"

Li Tan nodded with a smile, and then said to Li Hongzhang: "Also! Li Zhongtang, now that the country is in crisis, muskets can be mass-produced, and we strive to replace the cold weapons in the hands of soldiers as soon as possible."

"Your servant obeys the decree." Li Hongzhang also received the decree, feeling a sense of pride in his heart. After all, he was the first to see the essence of the little emperor, and the appearance of the ministers present who were frightened by the nature of the little emperor was really interesting.

Apparently, Li Hongzhang had forgotten that when Li Tan ordered him to do some particularly wicked things, his expressions were more interesting than these ministers.

After discussing about the war, Li Tan glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch stepped forward very cleverly and said in a loud voice: "If there is something to play, then there is nothing to retreat."

At this time, a minister came out from behind and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, although what the Empress Dowager Cixi said today is inappropriate, it is for the sake of the country. Please don't blame the Empress Dowager. After all, all goodness and filial piety come first. It's not easy for you to be seen as a joke."

Li Tan frowned, he didn't expect that he had already done things so forcefully, and that the followers of Empress Dowager Cixi dared to speak out.Moreover, directly using the word filial piety to suppress him is simply setting a trap for him. After all, he is not Xianfeng's son, and his accession to the throne is not justifiable. Back then, the ranks still depended on Cixi and Ci'an. Now...

Li Tan, who felt that Gong Dou was annoying from the bottom of his heart, frowned, and finally said helplessly: "Of course I won't do anything to the Queen Mother, just let the Queen Mother calm down, after all, if this woman has no vision, it is better not to participate in politics. What's more, the first emperor made a decree. Although the imperial decree was destroyed by the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the Empress Dowager Cixi also recognized it. Since the first emperor was afraid of the Empress Dowager Cixi, it is not wrong to keep the Empress Dowager Cixi away from the government. You said, I said Is it right?"

As he said that, Li Tan exerted pressure on the minister. The minister had no choice but to speak, and now he couldn't say anything to refute. He could only kneel on the ground and repeat: "The emperor is absolutely right."

After Li Tan glanced at the officials coldly, he said coldly: "Separate the court!"

After all, he left in a huff. He had to go and meet the Empress Dowager Cixi. After all, this woman's reputation in history is really not simple at all... Selfishly thinking, if she can be pissed off or mad this time, is the best result...

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Li Tan is not Zhuge Liang, he does not have the ability to fight with Confucians and make Zhou Yu angry.

Strictly speaking, he is not very good at talking, but he is a bad guy, a bad guy who is good at catching people's weaknesses.

No, he didn't go to rest after the court, and went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to visit the Empress Dowager directly wearing this dragon robe. When he just arrived at the door, he felt a strong wind being thrown over him, and he wanted to hide. But after taking a closer look at what the thing that was thrown over was, Li Tan reluctantly didn't dodge it, but took the thing casually.

At the same time, Li Tan also heard the empress dowager Cixi's full of insults: "Get lost! Didn't you follow the emperor! Then don't go back to Aijia's Cining Palace!"

Holding the little rabbit in his arms, Li Tan walked slowly into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi who was sitting in a high position: "Why is the Empress Dowager so angry? Doesn't she lower her status if she gets angry with a little beast?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi was annoyed when she heard this, and Gong Jiu who had turned into a rabbit was even more annoyed.

You actually said he was a little beast?Unhappy, Gong Jiu began to bite Li Tan's finger, but because the little rabbit had no strength, the way he bit his finger seemed to be coquettish.

The anger of the Empress Dowager Cixi is definitely different from that of Gong Jiu. He felt that he was underestimated by Li Tan, but after all, she is a master of power. She didn't yell or anything this time, but laughed : "Why, did the emperor come to give Ai's power a blow?"

Li Tan shook his head, sat down with the little rabbit in his arms, and looked like he wanted to have a good talk with Cixi: "I don't dare to insult the empress dowager, but if I just tell the truth, the ministers will use filial piety to suppress me. The whole world is your Queen Mother, and I still have to be a man with my tail between my legs."

Cixi didn't dare to underestimate Li Tan now, so she said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense with the Ai family, and just speak up if you have anything to say."

Li Tan smiled, and he gently stroked the little rabbit's fur: "Since the empress dowager is straightforward, I won't let it go. I hope that the empress dowager will stop interfering in the court affairs in the future, after all, you are still too old. It is the right way to stay in the harem to provide for the elderly.”

Cixi was shocked: "Hmph, do you really think that if the Ai family loses to you today, they will always lose to you? Even if you have some secret means, the Ai family has been in power for so many years, and you, a little bastard, cannot shake it. "

Naturally, Li Tan would not be frightened by the Empress Dowager Cixi: "As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. If the Empress Dowager dies or gets sick, those heroes will naturally not come out and say anything that makes me unhappy."

"Are you threatening the Ai family again?" The Empress Dowager Cixi squinted her eyes, thinking that the members of Aixinjueluo's family were not easy to deal with. The little emperor in front of her was raised by her like a waste. Bite him back.

Li Tan shook his head: "It's persuasion. After all, Empress Dowager Ci'an still misses you when she is dying."

When Ci'an's name was mentioned, the Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude softened, and she was stunned for a while and asked, "What did she say at that time?"

Li Tan pretended to be reminiscing, and then said seriously: "She said that the most regrettable thing in her life is to enter the palace, and the happiest thing is to meet you."

"...Forget it, Ai's family is ill, and I will leave the affairs of the previous court to you." After saying that, Empress Dowager Cixi waved to Li Tan and walked into the inner room, as if she was really disheartened.

But her hateful eyes with her back turned to Li Tan showed that all this is not as simple as it seems, struggling in the harem, becoming above ten thousand people in a humble position, is obviously a person who can bend and stretch.However, Li Tan didn't think that the Empress Dowager Cixi would really delegate power. Anyway, what he needed was her short-term peace.
