Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 228 Su Yi and the Queen Mother! Settled!

Although the design of this airship in Jiujiang is much more advanced than the Zeppelin airship produced more than thirty years later.

When landing, stop the power and rely on inertia to make almost no sound. But once it starts, the sound is very loud.

"Da da da da..."

Although the area was relatively quiet, it still disturbed many people.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Something happened with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Suddenly, many guards rushed towards the residence of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Because it was too dark to see clearly.

"Set off fireworks, set off fireworks!"

Following the order, the swishing fireworks shot directly into the sky.

Instantly lit up the night sky.

Then, everyone was stunned.

That day? !

This...this thing can actually fly?

And there is a dragon painted on it.

At this time, it was rising into the sky and flying away.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Another group of fireworks takes off. Who is in this pod? It seems to be the Queen Mother, it seems to be the Emperor.

This, this is okay.

Princess Shou'an said loudly: "On September 15th, the emperor will hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. He has announced it to the world, told the ancestors, and told heaven and earth. If you don't arrive, heaven and earth will blame you, and your ancestors will blame you. "

"Time is tight, so I summoned the flying dragon to send the emperor to the capital to worship heaven. Who dares to stop me?"

At this moment, many soldiers on the ground were really blinded.

Isn't this just a flying dragon?

At this time, Empress Dowager Ci'an woke up faintly, and the emperor also woke up.

"Bang bang bang..." Strings of fireworks exploded in the air.

The little emperor found himself in the sky and was extremely excited.

Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly had an extremely complicated expression. She looked at Princess Shou'an and said, "You, you, you are going crazy."

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Knock this thing down, knock it down!"

Are you kidding? The Queen Mother and the Emperor are inside, who dares to open fire?

And at this time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

In another direction, on the ground in the dark night, someone opened fire, and dense bullets were fired towards the airship.

Crazy, crazy!

Someone really dared to open fire.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Protect the emperor, protect the queen mother..."

Heigong immediately used his body to completely block the little emperor.

As for Princess Shou'an, Zhu Sanniang also used her own body to block the Queen Mother.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

No one made a sound in the corner where the fire was fired, and it was impossible to see who was responsible in this dark night.

Soon, the airship flew higher and higher.

It was directly out of the shooting range and headed south with full power.

At the same time, the troops from the Chengde Palace mobilized frantically and ran wildly along the south.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Fireworks were constantly set off on the road, trying to illuminate the direction of the airship.

But the airship quickly turned into dark clouds and immediately disappeared.

Everyone in the pod breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zaichun, are you okay, are you okay..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said tremblingly.

"Huang Eni, I'm fine, it's fun, we are in the sky, it's fun..."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said to Princess Shou'an: "You are crazy. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Princess Shou'an reached out to touch Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "Empress Dowager, are you okay?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What can happen to me? You, are you crazy?"

Princess Shou'an felt her hands were wet and said, "Light the fire, light the fire."

The fire lit up.

Princess Shou'an saw that the palm of her hand was a bright red and full of blood.

"Xiao Fen, are you okay, are you okay!" Princess Shou'an said in panic, checking Empress Dowager Ci'an's body up and down.

As a result, the Queen Mother was fine.

Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but touch Princess Shouan's back.

Suddenly, I felt a wet patch.

"Fourth sister, you were shot!"

Princess Shou'an said: "Oh, as long as you're fine, that's fine!"

Then, the whole person collapsed.

……………………

A few hours later!

The airship landed at Qianqing Palace Square.

Several people immediately carried Princess Shou'an into the palace.

"Master Su Yi, hurry, hurry, Princess Shou'an has been shot."

Su Yi's face changed drastically and she said loudly: "Quick, quick, go and call the female military doctor."

"Give me a hand and I'll do the surgery myself!"

Next, Su Yi personally operated on Princess Shou'an and removed the bullet from her back.

Then, go to see Empress Dowager Ci'an.

The little emperor has gone to sleep.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi, comes to see the Queen Mother." Su Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"How is Fourth Sister?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

"It's okay." Su Yi said.

Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Su Yi with extremely complicated eyes and said slowly: "Now, the emperor and I have become your puppets, right?"

Su Yi said: "No."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Isn't it?"

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What do you want to do next?"

Su Yi said: "Let the Emperor attend the heaven-sacrifice ceremony first, and then it won't be about what I want. It's about what the Queen Mother wants."

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked: "What do you mean?"

Su Yi said: "After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the Queen Mother can do whatever she wants. I will abide by any of your wishes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Really?"

Su Yi said: "Really.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What if I want you to lead the army to leave the capital?"

Su Yi said: "Then I will lead the army to leave the capital."

"I don't believe it." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Su Yi said: "Anyway, that day will come soon."

Ci'an said: "Okay, I'm going to take a rest. Please step back."

"Yes." Su Yi stepped back.

Instead of resting, he wanted to take a bath, because his body was covered with the blood of Princess Shou'an.

And I don’t know why, my whole body feels lazy and sore.

After a while.

The palace maid inside suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, Queen Mother, you are hurt..."

All I could see was a scratch on Empress Dowager Ci'an from her waist to her snow-white buttocks.

Is this a scratch mark? !

"It's okay, it's okay..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Don't make any fuss, just ask the doctor to get some ointment and apply it on it."

Then, think back to what you just experienced.

Empress Dowager Ci'an only felt waves of fear.

At that time, on the ground of the Chengde Palace, even though he knew that she and the emperor were in the pod, he still fired.

Moreover, they deliberately did not make any sound when they fired at these people.

In order to keep her and the emperor, don't you care about her and the little emperor's life?

If it hadn't been for Fourth Sister, I'm afraid he would have been shot.

Because the injury was relatively private and very minor, she asked the palace maid to prescribe some ointment and apply it on the wound.

At this special moment, it's best to keep quiet.

That night, Empress Dowager Ci'an had nightmares one after another.

In the dream, many people wanted to kill her.

In the dream, someone shot at her in the dark.

"Bang!" A gunshot suddenly woke her up.

Then, it was almost impossible to fall asleep again.

So he sat up, looked at the little emperor beside him, and looked at the very familiar room.

The long-lost capital.

She finally returned to the palace after a long absence.

……………………

The next day!

All the civil and military officials who stayed in Beijing entered the palace one after another.

They received shocking news that their mother, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor were back.

Isn’t it in Chengde?

Actually came back?

Immediately afterwards, another even more terrifying news came.

This came from Chengde, saying that the empress dowager and the young emperor were kidnapped by Su Yi.

Is Su Yi planning to rebel?

Not only did he send troops to control the palace, but now he also kidnapped the Queen Mother and the Emperor?

Is he going to be Cao Cao?

Or Dong Zhuo?

Some officials were too scared to show up.

But more officials still came to the palace to see if the Queen Mother and the Emperor had been kidnapped by Su Yi.

……………………

At this time, in the harem.

Su Yi was playing with the little emperor.

This is a child who has been extremely suppressed since childhood and has almost no happiness.

Totally devoid of childhood.

At this time, the little emperor had already put on a gorgeous dress.

Empress Dowager Ci'an also put on her official uniform, because the emperor was still young, so she, the empress dowager, needed to lead the young emperor throughout the ceremony.

Seeing Su Yi playing with the emperor, she couldn't help but frown slightly. In order to please the little emperor, did Su Yi want to indulge him and lead him in a playful direction?

As a result, she was listening.

After a while, I discovered that this was not the case at all.

Su Yi is entertaining and teaching, and what he talks about is serious and good knowledge.

But, he just picked it up at his fingertips.

A cat next to you, a butterfly outside, a random story.

He can combine many principles into it.

The little emperor listened with great interest.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an walked out, and the little emperor rushed over and said: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, I will tell you a story about breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly."

Next, the little emperor babbled out the story.

He said how ugly the butterfly was at first, how hard it was, and how long it took to work hard, and then it bit out of the cocoon and flew out, turning into a beautiful butterfly and flying freely.

"The emperor spoke very well." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Let's go out and play. I have something to say to Mr. Su."

The little emperor asked: "Where is aunt?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Auntie is still sleeping."

Soon, Empress Dowager Ci'an's confidants in the palace took the young emperor out directly.

Empress Dowager Ci'an sat upright and felt a little dizzy.

When she sat down gently, she found that the scar that she had not felt yesterday was burning with pain if she continued to do it, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, that's where the injury occurred.

"Master Su, why don't you wear official uniform?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

Su Yi said: "I don't have any official position yet."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Oh, you are indispensable for today's ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven. I will issue a decree soon to confer an official position on you, so that you can also preside over the ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, it is better for Prince Hui to come to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. I am too young and not suitable."

Empress Dowager Ci'an wondered, "You went to such great lengths to bring me and the emperor to the capital. Wasn't it to host the heaven-sacrifice ceremony? Wasn't it to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes?"

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What official position do you want? Tell the Ai family that I can issue the decree. Of course, I only have one imperial seal in my hand, and the other half is in hers."

Su Yi said: "Let's talk about it later."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi, I'm not like her. I don't have so many twists and turns. Just tell me what you want."

Su Yi said: "Then let me make it clear to the Queen Mother. I, Su Yi, will completely obey the Queen Mother's will. After the sacrifice to heaven, you can go wherever you want. If you ask me to go back, I will go back."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was silent for a while and said: "I don't like to get involved in political affairs, but I also know that you are ambitious."

Su Yi said: "I have something to do, but the reason why I took the risk to bring the Emperor back this time is really just for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. I didn't even plan to bring the Queen Mother here. It was the fourth sister who made her own decision."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Tell me what you are thinking."

Su Yi said: "I want to change this country, make it strong and not be bullied by the big powers. I want to overthrow all treaties that humiliate the country. I want to take back all the territory that has been cut off. I want to make the country more powerful." Some people live a good life."

"I set up factories and engaged in foreign affairs all for this goal. The emperor was not happy and did not allow it, so I started it myself and resigned from all official positions."

"Now that the emperor has passed away and the two queen mothers have become the new emperors, I have come to seek the queen mother's will. If the queen mother lets me do it, I will stay in the capital. If the queen mother doesn't let me, I will leave and go back to the south."

The Queen Mother said: "What then?"

Su Yi said: "I will do it myself."

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "The Emperor went to Jiujiang to dismantle your alliance of seven southern provinces, but why didn't he dismantle it and marry his sixth sister to you?"

Su Yi said: "The emperor said that if you can't be a king or a minister, you can be a relative."

Then, Su Yi asked: "Does the Emperor have a secret order to kill me?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an shook her head and said, "No, at least I don't have it here."

Then, Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, the civil and military officials should be waiting impatiently."

Empress Dowager Ci'an stood up, feeling dizzy and shaking.

Su Yi stepped forward to help her and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother was supported by Su Yi, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her mind couldn't help but recall that night.

At that time, Su Yi was very rogue, and he even saw her body.

It's like now, very dignified.

Su Yi sent it immediately.

"You have a fever, what's wrong?" Su Yi asked.

"Nothing." The Queen Mother said, "It's not a problem."

Su Yi said: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call the military doctor immediately."

The Queen Mother said: "There is no time. Let's wait until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over."

Then, she walked directly towards Qianqing Palace.

"Aren't you coming?" said Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Su Yi said: "I don't have any official position and I won't go to court."

……………………

In the Qianqing Palace.

All the civil and military officials were anxiously waiting.

Various scenes were imagining in his mind, Su Yi holding the Queen Mother and the little Emperor hostage to the palace.

He even stood next to the throne with a sword in his hand.

In short, he looks exactly like Dong Zhuo.

"The Queen Mother is here, the Emperor is here!" the eunuch Zeng Lu shouted.

Then, I saw the Queen Mother in full uniform, holding the little emperor's hand and coming to the throne.

The Queen Mother was sitting next to the Emperor.

Everyone looked behind, where is Su Yi? There was no trace of him at all.

Wo Ren, the Minister of Rites, said: "To the Empress Dowager, there are rumors that Su Yi kidnapped the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Is this true?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "There is no such thing. I have told the world before that the emperor will worship heaven on the fifteenth day of the ninth month. You can't deceive anyone, not the ancestors, nor the heaven and the earth. These days can be changed."

When Wo Ren and all the civil and military officials heard this, they felt very comfortable.

This is true. No matter what, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven must not be delayed.

Wo Ren asked again: "What role does Su Yi play in this heaven-sacrifice ceremony?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi didn't hold any position in this heaven-sacrifice ceremony. At most, he was just guarding the emperor's safety."

Woren said: "He doesn't host sacrifices to heaven?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "He won't host it. I asked him who would be more suitable to host it."

Everyone instinctively thought of Chongen. This was the elder of the clan, and Su Yi would definitely recommend Chongen.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "He said that Prince Hui is the emperor's uncle, and he once took charge of the clan mansion and presided over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. It is very appropriate."

All civil and military officials were even more shocked.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "In addition, Su Yi sent someone to the Chengde Palace to fetch the emperor, but he followed the instructions of the Ai family. Many people in the Chengde Palace felt that the emperor could not take the risk of coming to Beijing, so they had to postpone the ceremony. The Ai family I thought it would be better not to postpone the ceremony, so I gave Su Yi a secret order, and he followed the order and went north to bring the Ai family and the emperor to the capital. "

"The Ai family feels that the capital city is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so what's wrong with it?"

Immediately, Prince Hui Mianyu stepped forward and bowed: "The Queen Mother is Shengming."

This time when the emperor died, there was one biggest loser, and that was Mian Yu.

Almost furious.

What do you mean?

None of the nine ministers who care about life are as happy as me?

I am the senior and most senior person in the royal family.

Even a kid like Ronglu has become a minister who cares about life, but I am not included?

Now, he felt that the glory was back. He presided over this heaven-sacrifice ceremony and returned to the center of the political stage.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Prince Hui, I'll leave this job to you, but it's too hasty."

Prince Hui Mianyu knelt down and said, "I obey the order."

"It's not too hasty. Although we are not sure whether the emperor will come, everything needed for the heaven sacrifice has been properly prepared."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, let's not delay the auspicious time. Let's set off now?"

The Empress Dowager said: "Okay, let's set off now."

Then, under the protection of thousands of soldiers, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor boarded the dragon chariot, and led the civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the heaven.

On the way, countless people in the capital knelt down in the direction of the dragon chariot.

Full of curiosity.

This is the first time to see the new emperor.

Ci'an hesitated slightly, whether to let the emperor show up, would it be dangerous?

"Su Ye, do you want the emperor to show up?" Empress Dowager Ci'an said instinctively.

Zenglu, the eunuch next to him, said, "Empress Dowager, Lord Su Ye is maintaining order and is not among the officials."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Oh, then go ask him if the emperor wants to show up?"

Zenglu came to Su Ye and said, "Brother, the Empress Dowager asked me to come and ask if the people should see the emperor's face."

Su Ye said, "Wait a minute."

Then, Su Ye came to Prince Hui Mianyu and said, "Prince Hui, I have something for you to decide."

Mianyu was slightly surprised and said, "What is it?"

Su Ye said, "The people want to see the emperor's face, and you are the minister of heaven, so I came to ask you for your decision."

Mianyu thought for a while and said, "Let the emperor show up for a while in the most crowded place."

Su Ye said, "Okay."

Then, Su Ye went to find eunuch Zenglu to hand over, instead of going directly to Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Wenxiang and Baojun were also among the ministers. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but be surprised.

The defense of the entire capital was completely in Su Ye's hands.

There was no sign of arrogance on Su Ye's part. He didn't even wear his official uniform, nor was he among the officials. He was just wearing a military uniform, and he looked completely submerged in the crowd.

How could he look like Dong Zhuo?

How could he look like Cao Cao?

After a while, in the most crowded place, the emperor walked out of the dragon chariot.

He waved to the people.

All the civil and military officials, along with all the people, knelt down in an orderly manner.

"Long live the emperor!"

The little emperor stayed outside for a while, and reluctantly returned to Empress Dowager Ci'an.

According to precedent, one cannot ride on the dragon chariot when going to the Heavenly Sacrifice, but must walk.

But the emperor was too young, and at this critical moment, he was afraid of danger, so he sat on the dragon chariot for a while.

But after leaving Zhengyang Gate, the empress dowager and the emperor had to get off and walk to the Temple of Heaven's Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly said, "Your Majesty, do you still want to go back to Chengde?"

The little emperor's face fell and he said, "No, I won't go back."

Then, the little emperor said, "Mother, when will we fly again?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Then..."

She instinctively wanted to say that it was very dangerous, but once she said it was dangerous, it would give the little emperor the feeling that Su Ye had put him in danger.

"This is for offering sacrifices to the heaven, so we fly to the heaven. We can't fly often, otherwise the heaven will be unhappy." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

The Temple of Heaven is about ten miles away from the Forbidden City, but the walk is relatively slow. A few hours later, the army entered the Temple of Heaven.

Civil and military officials entered.

Finally, the empress dowager led the emperor up the stairs one by one.

Prince Hui Mianyu presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven.

The gorgeous parallel prose was read for a full quarter of an hour.

Empress Dowager Ci'an felt very uncomfortable, as if she was about to faint at any time.

But at this critical moment, you must hold on. If you faint, it will be too unlucky.

However, it was too hard to persist.

After the reading of the Heavenly Sacrifice, the solemn ceremony began.

Welcome the Emperor and God, lay down jade and silk, offer the sacrificial table, perform the first offering, perform the second offering, perform the final offering, remove the food, send off the Emperor and God, and watch the burning.

The emperor was very young, and every step was carried out under the guidance of Prince Hui Mianyu.

And from time to time, he wanted to rush to the side of the empress dowager.

It was not until the afternoon.

This solemn and solemn Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was finally completed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, there was no delay, and there was no loss of trust to the heaven and earth and ancestors.

Then, hundreds of officials knelt down in an orderly manner.

Three kowtows and nine bows.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth and ancestors, the new emperor officially announced to the world that the new dragon emperor was born.

And then, it was time to prepare for the coronation ceremony.

According to the ceremony, the coronation ceremony needs to be held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But in this situation, no one knows when the coronation ceremony will be held.

Because the real team of the court is in Chengde.

…………………………………………

Civil and military officials, from the Temple of Heaven, escorted the empress dowager and the emperor back to the palace.

Everyone clearly saw that Su Ye was sent directly to the gate of the palace and never went in again.

Instead, two female military doctors were sent to follow the empress dowager into the palace.

Before parting, it seemed that he wanted to say a few words to the empress dowager, but he couldn't find a chance.

Military Minister Wen Xiang stepped forward and said, "Brother Su Ye."

Su Ye said, "Lord Wen."

Wen Xiang said, "The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is completed, so the coronation ceremony should not be delayed. When do you think it is appropriate to hold it?"

Su Ye was stunned and said, "This matter is naturally decided by the two empress dowagers and the officials of the court. How can I have a say?"

Then, Su Yi said: "Master Wenxiang is the Minister of Military and Aircraft, so he can discuss this matter with Prince Hui."

Then, Su Yi raised her hands and said, "Farewell!"

Then he rode straight back home.

More than an hour later.

Eunuch Zenglu rushed into Su Yi's home and said, "Brother, hurry up, come into the palace quickly, the Queen Mother is ill."

"I dare not say anything. I didn't let anyone know."

Su Yi immediately rushed into the palace.

When they arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, the female military doctors inside were already in a mess.

"The Queen Mother seems to have been scratched by a bullet. The wound is seriously inflamed. She is now running a high fever, 40 degrees." The female military doctor said.

Su Yi said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you call the imperial doctor?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "If I tell the truth and call the imperial doctor, I'm afraid rumors will spread that you murdered me."

Su Yi asked: "Is the inflammation severe?"

The female military doctor said: "After walking for a day today, the inflammation has become severe."

Su Yi said: "Do you need to cut the flesh?"

The female military doctor said: "It's probably necessary, but we... don't dare to take action."

Su Yi said: "Then I'll do it."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No, that place cannot..."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, it's too late to take action now, otherwise if the inflammation gets worse, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

Next, several female military doctors stepped forward and took off Empress Dowager Ci'an's pants.

Revealing the double mounds of snow and jade.

So beautiful.

The slender waist makes the full moon, which is not very big at first, look a bit exaggerated.

Round and curved.

It was extremely charming, but the scratch was from the waist to the buttocks. It was red and looked a bit shocking.

"Prepare ether and anesthesia." Su Yi said: "The amount should be as small as possible. It is better to do it multiple times, otherwise it will hurt the body."

"The Queen Mother, as soon as you inhale this thing, you will fall asleep and there will be no pain."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said to her confidant maids and nannies beside her: "Don't go, don't go..."

The palace maid and the nun said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, we won't leave even half a step."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was frightened and said: "Yes, will there be scars?"

Su Yi said: "I'm afraid, there will be a little bit, but I will be extremely careful to make the scars as shallow as possible, almost negligible."

Then, the female military doctor put ether under the nose of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

Take a gentle puff.

The whole person fell asleep.

Su Yi performed the surgery herself, very carefully, cutting off the inflamed flesh bit by bit.

Disinfect little by little.

Make sure the wound is minimal and future scars are minimal.

Such a small operation lasted for more than half an hour.

Only then was everything cleaned up.

Then, use the thinnest thread to suture the wound bit by bit.

……………………

I don’t know how long it took, but Empress Dowager Ci’an woke up in a daze.

Only the voice of Princess Shou'an was heard: "Why hasn't the fever gone down? It's not possible to keep the fever like this."

"It's still 40 degrees. If you keep burning like this, there will be sequelae."

"How about using your blood?"

Su Yi said: "Princess, you also know that my auspicious blood is actually a gimmick, the main point is penicillin."

Princess Shou'an said: "You don't need to know how to save me and the late emperor, didn't you use your blood?"

Su Yi said: "That's just adding penicillin to my blood."

"Why are you chirping so much? Just use it." Princess Shou'an said weakly and hastily.

Empress Dowager Ci'an was so dizzy from the fever that she seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Then, he was woken up by a stab of pain.

All he saw was a needle piercing his blood veins, and a whole tube of blood inside was slowly injected into his body.

Su Yi's auspicious blood?

Didn't you say that it was a gimmick?

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an fell into a deep sleep again.

………………………………

The next day!

The chirping of birds outside woke up the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

After she opened her eyes, she felt cold, but she no longer felt as groggy as yesterday.

The whole person felt much more relaxed.

However, the pain in my butt became clearer.

It hurts, but not that bad.

The little emperor's voice came from outside: "I want to see the queen, I want to see the queen."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Let him come in."

After a while, the little emperor rushed in and said, "Mother, are you sick?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."

Then, under the service of the palace maid and the nun, she washed.

"Be careful, don't open the wound."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What's going on outside?"

The palace maid said: "Is nothing wrong?"

Really nothing.

The entire capital was eerily quiet.

Su Yi's 25,000 troops are still guarding the capital.

The entire capital was in order.

Even the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But, it's just too quiet.

Many people already know that Seng Gelinqin's cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from the capital.

A total of fifteen thousand cavalry, and they also carried an imperial edict.

The imperial edict for Su Yi to retreat.

The entire remaining officials in the capital held their breath.

What happens next?

Is Su Yi retreating under the order? Give up the defense of the capital to Senggelinqin?

Or fight to the end?

The relationship between Wenxiang, Baojun, Shengbao and Prince Hui Mianyu was not close at first.

But now facing such a big event, they couldn't help but huddle together for warmth, and several people entered Prince Hui's mansion.

"Prince Hui, you... what do you think Su Ye is planning?"

"When he first took control of the capital, he was still vigorous and arrested many people."

"We all thought he was going to kill and arrest people, but he released most people."

"He didn't participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and he didn't attend the court meeting. He was like a middle-level general in charge of defense."

"Everyone thinks he is not Dong Zhuo, at least he is Cao Cao, but I don't understand his current posture."

"What is he going to do?"

Prince Hui Mianyu was also confused and said: "It's meaningless to discuss this now. Senggelinqin's cavalry is less than a hundred miles. What should we do next? He He came with an imperial edict, ordering Su Ye to withdraw his troops. If Su Ye did not withdraw, the entire capital would be devastated. "

Wen Xiang said: "Then he really showed his true colors, and really became Dong Zhuo."

Bao Jun said: "From the beginning to now, he has always been doing things for the greater good. Even if he took the Queen Mother and the Emperor out from Chengde, although the means were bizarre and risky, but... after all, the Queen Mother said that it was her secret order, in order to allow the Emperor to catch up with the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, it was still a great justice."

Mian Yu said: "Did he isolate the inside and outside of the palace? Did he not allow others to see the Queen Mother?"

Wen Xiang said: "It seems, no."

…………………………………………

Kuang Yuan used the fastest speed and kept changing horses to enter the capital.

I thought I couldn't get into the city, but I got in.

I thought I definitely couldn't get into the palace, but I got in.

I thought I definitely couldn't see the Queen Mother Ci'an, but I didn't expect that I would see her.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Kuang Yuan kowtowed to the Queen Mother across the screen.

"Well, get up." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Kuang Yuan said: "Did Su Ye do anything to oppress the Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No."

Kuang Yuan said: "Did Su Ye put the Empress Dowager and the Emperor under house arrest?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No."

Kuang Yuan said: "Empress Dowager, Su Ye is extremely treacherous and is best at acting. The Empress Dowager must not be fooled by him."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You treat me like a child who can be fooled at any time."

Kuang Yuan said: "He dared to kidnap the Empress Dowager and the Emperor from the Chengde Palace, which is tantamount to treason."

Empress Dowager An said, "He was ordered by me to take the emperor back to Beijing to attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven."

Kuang Yuan was shocked and said, "Empress Dowager, please don't fall for Su Ye's trick."

Anxiously, Kuang Yuan said, "Su Ye, this thief, relies on his handsome face and is the best at bewitching women's hearts..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Empress Dowager, please forgive me, Empress Dowager, please forgive me, I said something I shouldn't have said in a hurry."

Then he began to slap himself in the face.

This was acting again.

How could such words come out of his mouth?

This was a provocation, trying to arouse Empress Dowager Ci'an's chastity and shyness, and then prove her innocence and drive him away.

Empress Dowager Ci'an was so angry that she trembled all over and said, "In your mind, am I as stupid as a donkey?"

Kuang Yuan kept kowtowing and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Su Ye promised me that after the emperor's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he can lead the army to leave at any time and will never stay."

Kuang Yuan said, "Empress Dowager, he is lying to you, absolutely lying to you."

"When we really drive him away, his cruel true face will be revealed."

"By then, he will be the real Dong Zhuo, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be in danger."

…………………………

At this time, in the princess's mansion not far from the palace.

Princess Shouan said, "Kuang Yuan is tempting the Queen Mother, won't you stop him?"

Su Ye said, "No."

Princess Shouan said, "Then are all the things you said to her true?"

Su Ye was silent for a while and said, "Yes, it's true."

Princess Shouan said, "If he really asked you to lead the army south to retreat, would you really leave?"

Su Ye said, "Yes."

Princess Shouan was silent for a long time and said, "In fact, she is still very smart, but she doesn't like to waste her thoughts, likes quietness, and doesn't like to deal with people."

"Your attitude is useless to that Holy Mother Empress Dowager. But it is most useful to this Mother Empress Dowager."

……………………………………

Senggelinqin's cavalry is getting closer and closer.

All the officials in the capital have been hiding at home and holding their breath.

And they are also wondering why the nine gates are not closed now.

All the gates are open, allowing people to come in and out.

At noon, Empress Dowager Cixi summoned Su Ye again.

"Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "The late emperor said that other bannermen call themselves slaves, but you have always called yourself a minister. After resigning from all official positions, you even stopped calling yourself a minister."

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Do you know? Before the emperor died, he called you twice."

Su Ye was silent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Tell me, why didn't the late emperor openly break up with you when he was in Jiujiang? It was obviously the most effective time."

Su Ye said, "I can't say for sure."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Humph, you obviously think that I am a woman, and I can't understand such a deep topic."

After speaking, she found that her tone was wrong, it sounded like coquettishness.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "But I know that there is some deep tacit understanding between you men that is difficult to express in words. Once you say it, the taste will change. It is better not to say it."

"I really don't like to interfere with your affairs. I just want to live a quiet life, and no one will mess with me."

"However, when the matter comes to a head, I can't completely ignore it."

"I really want to throw this royal seal to her and let her take care of it all by herself." Empress Dowager Ci'an sighed: "But I can't do this, the late emperor..."

At this point, Empress Dowager Ci'an stopped.

There were certain things that the late emperor had only said to her, and he could never reveal a word of it unless absolutely necessary.

"Su Yi, you promised me before that after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is over, I will let you lead the army to leave and return to the south." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Does this still count now?"

Su Yi said: "It counts."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then, now you fulfill your promise..."

"Oh, forget it, forget it."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I will be most annoyed if you are tempted by this kind of temptation. Can Su Yi promise me something?"

Su Yi said: "You tell me."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "From now on, I won't use power against you, and you shouldn't use power against me, okay?"

Su Yi said: "Okay."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You don't want to leave the capital, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You want to enter the center and show off your skills, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Ci'an fell into silence again, feeling a little upset.

The last thing she wanted to do was make decisions, especially many big decisions, but she had to make them at this time.

But for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

She doesn't think deeply, nor does she think far.

But she probably knew what she didn't want to do.

For example, she didn't want to just drive Su Yi out of the capital right now.

My late emperor and ancestors, I don’t know if this is right or not.

Me, I just made the decision with my eyes closed.

Then, she really closed her eyes and said, "We'll talk about the center later, but we can't let you have a civil war right now. I'll help you get through this."

"You, just feel free to go home."

Su Yi said: "Then I will resign."

Su Yi stood up, walked to the door, turned around and asked, "Queen Mother, does your wound still hurt?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an blushed and secretly spat: "Why are you asking this? You are so talkative."

………………………………

Seng Gelinqin's cavalry was still sixty miles away from the capital.

The great eunuch Zenglu rushed into Prince Hui's palace.

"The Queen Mother has a decree to summon Prince Hui to see him."

Prince Hui Mianyu kowtowed and said, "I obey the decree."

Then, he followed Zenglu and rushed into the palace.

"Slave Mian Yu, please kowtow to the Queen Mother." Even though Mian Yu is now the emperor's uncle, he still kowtows respectfully and calls himself a slave.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Uncle Wang, the late emperor gave us two imperial seals, but I only have one in my hand. Under such circumstances, is the imperial edict I wrote still valid?"

Mian Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "Special moments, special methods, effective."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then I have just made a decree to confer Prince Hui Mianyu as the imperial minister and military minister."

Mian Yu was stunned.

Although he was of high seniority and had once held the rank of general and served as a clan leader, he only held a position of respect from the beginning to the end and never held any real power.

Although he was in charge of the Iron Money Bureau for a period of time, the yamen was soon abolished.

I have never done anything like the imperial minister or the military minister.

The military aircraft department has always been controlled by Duan Hua and Zai Yuan.

"Uncle Wang..." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "But is there anything wrong with this imperial edict?"

Mianyu kowtowed and said, "Slave, please accept the order and thank you!"

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I have another imperial edict here. Su Yi's army has been in charge of the defense of the capital, but there is no corresponding official position. This is an unfair name. Seng Gelinqin's army is about to We are about to enter the capital, but be careful not to start a conflict, otherwise the capital will be in ruins, so please help the Ai family read this imperial edict."

Then, the eunuch Zenglu handed the imperial edict to Mianyu.

As Mian Yu opened it and read it, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "The Ai family and the emperor formally appointed Su Yi as the admiral of the nine gates, in charge of the defense of the capital."

Prince Hui Mianyu's body trembled.

Admiral of the Nine Gates, at this moment, is the most important official position.

Once he became the Admiral of the Nine Sects, Su Yi would be able to control the defense of the capital.

For a moment, Mianyu didn't know how to respond.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Uncle Wang, is there anything wrong with this decree?"

This, how do you say this?

At the beginning, you felt that it was appropriate to appoint you as the imperial minister and military minister.

Why do you think it's inappropriate to issue an imperial edict to canonize Su Yi?

Who said that the twenty-four-year-old beautiful little queen mother didn’t understand politics? She really didn’t like to bother.

Moreover, she also knew that she would first appoint Su Yi as the Admiral of the Nine Sects. This was a critical position, but it would not irritate Mian Yu and others too much.

After struggling again and again, Mian Yu said: "In response to the Queen Mother's words, I think there is nothing wrong with this decree."

"That's good, that's good." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Fortunately, there is a respected royal prince like Uncle Wang in the capital, otherwise we, an orphan and a widow, really don't know what to do."

Well, you can use CPU.

Prince Hui Mianyu said: "I will protect the empress dowager and the emperor even if I die."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I have another imperial edict here, which is for Senggelinqin. It says that the defense of the capital is sufficient, but the Chengde Palace is a little empty, so let him go back first. The defense of the capital will be handed over to the new Nine Gates Admiral. As for Su Ye's matter, I will discuss it with the emperor's biological mother and then make the final decision."

Huh? !

Mianyu was stuck again.

What should I do? What should I do?

This young empress dowager is really approaching step by step.

The attitude is so gentle, but it leaves no room for refusal.

You have already agreed to the first two, and the last one is the most insignificant, but it really takes you a lot of effort to do it.

Are you not willing to do this?

For a moment, Mian Yu felt dry in his mouth.

But soon, he felt arrogant again.

Isn't it because you are afraid of offending Chengde? I am the great uncle now, who can do anything to me?

Besides, the queen mother in front of me is the queen.

Mian Yu couldn't stand Su Shun and others in Chengde. Why didn't I have any of the nine ministers?

Immediately, Prince Hui Mian Yu kowtowed meticulously and said, "Your servant receives the order!"

Then, he picked up two imperial edicts and bowed, saying, "Your servant will leave."

Empress Dowager Cixi said, "By the way, Senggelinqin also has an imperial edict in his hand. So it's better for your uncle to read the order before he arrives in the capital and takes out the imperial edict."

Prince Hui Mian Yu said, "Your servant saves it, the queen mother rest assured."

Then, he ran out of the palace directly.

"Prepare the horses, quick, quick, quick!"

"You guards, follow me!"

After leaving the palace, Prince Hui Mianyu directly jumped on the horse, followed by a team of imperial guards, and ran towards the north of the capital.

……………………………………

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Senggelinqin led more than 10,000 cavalrymen and had been running for several days and nights.

He had to sleep, but he had little time to sleep, so he really wanted to sleep on horseback.

Now, it was only thirty miles away from the capital.

He held the imperial edict in his arms, asking Su Ye to withdraw his troops immediately, return to the south, and hand over the defense of the capital to him, Senggelinqin.

At that time, Su Ye would either withdraw his troops or disobey the edict.

Once he disobeyed the edict, it would be Dong Zhuo.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen, smoke and dust.

The huge capital city, the outline can already be vaguely seen, it's been a long time since I last saw it.

However, at this moment, a group of people and horses rushed in front.

When I got closer, I found that it was Prince Hui Mianyu.

"Prince Hui, what happened? It's so urgent, but Su Ye is rebelling?" Senggelinqin said.

Prince Hui Mianyu dismounted, unfolded the imperial edict and said: "There is an imperial edict, Senggelinqin accepts it."

Senggelinqin was slightly stunned.

However, his instinctive respect for the royal family made him dismount immediately.

Su Ye couldn't bribe the Prince Hui in front of him.

"Senggelinqin, the defense of the capital has been handed over to the new Nine Gates Admiral Su Ye. Chengde is empty. I order you to lead the army back north immediately and return to Chengde Palace. This is my order!"

Suddenly, Senggelinqin was stunned.

What? !

Su Ye became the Nine Gates Admiral and officially took charge of the defense of the capital?

Seeing him standing there, Prince Hui Mianyu said: "Senggelinqin, are you going to disobey the imperial edict?"
