[Comprehensive] Emperor

Father and son

The Empress Dowager Cixi played with eagles for half her life, but was pecked blind by a young eagle in the end.

What happened in the court today can be regarded as causing quite a commotion. The ministers retreated and still talked a lot, and the father of Li Tan, that is, Aixinjue Luo Zaiyun, his father, Prince Chun Aixinjueluo Yixuan directly threatened him. He fell off the reclining chair, and the surrounding group of Yingying and Yanyan rushed up to help the old bone.

Prince Jin, who is used to enjoying the experience and is particularly afraid of pain, didn't care about the pain this time, and said to the eunuch who delivered the letter in surprise, "You said the emperor grounded the queen mother? He also seized the power?"

"Not only that, the emperor also ordered Zuo Zongtang to lead troops to fight against the French Maozi, and... the emperor secretly prepared muskets at some point!" All those things were told to Prince Jin, and Prince Jin went from frightened to a little proud, and finally turned into extremely complicated.

In addition to being the younger brother of Emperor Xianfeng and the current emperor's own father, this Prince Chun also has another identity as the brother-in-law of Empress Dowager Cixi.His son-in-law, Yehenara Wanzhen, is the sister of the Empress Dowager Cixi, otherwise his empress's son-in-law would not allow a queen mother to behave like this.

It is said that when his son first came to the throne, he was also an important minister in charge of the Military Aircraft Department.These years, his health has been deteriorating, so he retired to avoid suspicion, and also enjoys the blessings at home with his salary.Seeing his own son sitting in that position as a puppet is also uncomfortable. No matter who makes him afraid of his wife, his daughter-in-law is devoted to her natal family, and he has nothing to do with Empress Dowager Cixi.

Now, his son, who has always been a puppet, has secretly planned a counterattack. He also brought down the cancerous Empress Dowager Cixi without bloodshed and deprived the loyalty of the officials. ——At this time, Prince Chun felt so shameless in his heart that he didn't feel any guilt for not helping his son's throne in the past few years.

Seeing that Prince Jin has been foolish and silent, just like when he knew that Fujin had given birth to a son, Li Lianying had a bad feeling in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Then Prince Jin doesn't know how to deal with this matter?" thing?"

Prince Jin also found that he was too happy to be overwhelmed by his expression, and quickly fake coughed: "Don't worry, Eunuch Li, this king and the queen mother have always been grasshoppers on the same rope, so naturally they will not betray the queen mother, and let this king Let's go into the palace to see what the emperor means."

"Then I will trouble the prince to make a trip." Li Lianying was dubious, and worried about her future official career.I thought that following the empress dowager would lead to wealth and wealth for the rest of my life, but now if the emperor is in power, wouldn't he have to be the chief eunuch beside the empress dowager?

Li Lianying was frightened here for a while, and then said that she was going back to the palace to return to life, while Prince Jin changed into a government residence that he hadn't passed through for a long time, got in a carriage and entered the palace to face the saint.Not to mention, she was really a little nervous when she saw her own son.

At this time, Li Tan was reading the memorial in the imperial study, and when he heard that the little eunuch came to ask Prince Jin to see him, Li Tan was a little surprised.

How should I put it, it has been so many years since I came to this body, except for the New Year's Day, he really never met the father of this body, and even on the New Year's Day, he seldom speaks, he is simply a stranger who has nothing to do with him other than blood.

But no matter what angle it was from, there was no reason for him to disappear.Treating the Empress Dowager Cixi like this would have given her a reputation of being unfilial, and it would be really wrong if she didn't see her flesh and blood father again.

"Xuan." Li Tan uttered the words lightly, and Li Tan moved his shoulders, not to mention, I was really tired after reading this memorial for a long time.

And at this moment, Li Tan felt the little maid who had been standing behind her come over and rub her shoulders.Li Tan took a closer look, and found that the girl had pretty features and was very attractive.

Li Tan thought to himself that he would be delivered to his door just after he gained power a little bit, so he thought of playing for a while, so he asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The servant girl blushed, stopped what she was doing, and bowed gracefully: "Return to the emperor, servant girl Xiuzhen."

Li Tan nodded and said with a smile: "The name is good, and the technique of pressing the shoulders is also good."

Xiuzhen's eyes lit up after being praised: "When the servant girl has not entered the palace, she always rubs the shoulders of the servant girl's father."

Li Tan understood, and took a sip of the tea in his cup: "So that's how it is. Since the skill of rubbing shoulders is so good, go and serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is getting old, so you can rub her more if you have nothing to do."

In an instant, Xiuzhen's face turned pale, and she knelt down on the ground to thank her: "Your servant obeys."

As he said that, he backed out, just passing the summoned Prince Chun.At the door, Prince Jin, who basically saw the whole scene, said with a smile: "The emperor is too confused. When you meet such a beautiful woman who comes to your door, you should take it into the harem."

Li Tan glanced at Prince Jin lightly, and said slowly: "This is the first time Prince Jin taught me the principles of life."

After hearing Li Tan's words, Prince Jin said with some embarrassment: "The emperor has so many people around the palace, how can he need the old minister to teach him?"

At this time, the white rabbit with black eyes ran in from outside and jumped onto Li Tan's lap. Li Tan hugged him quickly, and his depressed mood improved a lot.He motioned for Prince Jin to sit down, and then said: "As the saying goes, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, so Prince Jin's visit to the palace this time is not just for chatting."

Prince Jin quietly looked at the handsome and handsome emperor, he couldn't see how cute he was when he was just a baby, and he felt very emotional: "The old minister is very pleased to hear about the emperor's presence in the court today. .”

Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "Just comfort?"

Prince Jin struggled for a while, but still spoke out what was in his heart, which was the purpose of this time: "Fu Jin is the queen mother's younger sister, although she is old, but she has a heart for the queen mother, if she enters the palace to make trouble, please invite the emperor forgive."

Li Tan did not expect that the purpose of Prince Jin this time was for the mother of this body, but for such a small matter, Li Tan naturally would not refuse: "After all, it is the person who bestowed me with flesh and blood, so naturally I would not do it. If something outrageous and outrageous is caused, at worst, let her accompany the empress dowager to pray."

Prince Jin also breathed a sigh of relief: "So, knowing that the emperor has a sense of proportion, the old minister can rest assured."

The two were silent, and Li Tan asked suddenly: "Since you have already withdrawn, why bother to join in?"

Prince Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although I haven't controlled it for many years, it is my own blood, my own flesh... Although the old minister has withdrawn from the court, he still has the power and money he should have. Now the treasury is empty. Your Majesty If you need money and power, you only need to send someone to get it, even if you lose your family, you will not hesitate."

The 'father and son' chatted for a long time, and it was not until sunset that Prince Xishanchun bid farewell.Leaving Li Tan holding the little rabbit in his arms alone, he gently stroked the rabbit's fur and whispered, "Do you believe what he said?"

The little rabbit naturally wouldn't answer his words, so he replied, "I don't believe a single word he said."

&&&&&&

In the days that followed, Zuo Zongtang led the troops to fight, while Li Tan seized power in the court, subdued the hearts of the officials, and discussed reforms with the officials.

The Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to be really thinking about it. She chanted Buddhist scriptures in the Cining Palace every day. She said it was for Ci'an, and she said it was for the late emperor. It doesn't matter who the scriptures are for. Thinking about it.

Just like what Prince Jin was worried about before, Di Fujin did come to the palace to make a fuss once, and Li Tan watched the trouble quietly, and when she got tired of making trouble, he asked her a word, directly making the upright Fujin He went back to the palace crying, and then, like the Empress Dowager Cixi, drove the car to chant Buddhist scriptures every day, which directly changed his temper.

As for what Li Tan said to Di Fujin at the beginning, in fact, that sentence was as simple as twelve words - is Zhen your own flesh and blood?

Things in the palace gradually made people calm down, but things on the battlefield made people troubled.

Originally, France invaded Vietnam, then invaded the Qing Dynasty from the Vietnamese border, and killed people in a village.

Theoretically speaking, Vietnam should fight against the French with the same enemy as the Qing Dynasty, but Vietnam betrayed the Qing Dynasty at a critical moment and chose to fight against the Qing Dynasty together with France. They have brains.

And the Qing Dynasty will not change anything because of Vietnam's reaction. After all, it has no effect except that the war is more difficult.

In fact, whether it is France or Vietnam, they are all surprised by the reaction of the Qing Dynasty this time. After all, since the last years of Emperor Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty has not been as strong as it used to be, and has gradually become weak. I thought it was such a small fight It's just that the people in a village won't cause much reaction from the Qing Dynasty, but they didn't expect to go out directly with the army. The French also thought that the Qing Dynasty was just sending people to scare them, but it was only after the fight did they realize that the Qing Dynasty It means that the fish dies and the net breaks.

After all, Zuo Zongtang is a veteran with combat experience, and he is also very experienced in combat. In addition, Li Tan's weapon layering is also invincible.But the French are not vegetarian after all, and they won and lost in fights, but there were not so many tragic casualties.

I thought that this war would continue to be a stalemate, but there was an urgent report from the front that made Li Tan very sad-Zuo Zongtang died in the battle!

At this time, the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced, and the Qing soldiers had retreated hundreds of miles away. The lieutenant ordered to ask for a temporary truce, and only waited for the imperial court to send people to negotiate peace with France.
