Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 232 Reorganize the Central Committee! Su Ye is promoted!

The military means are over, and the next step is purely political.

Su Ye is eating meat with several adults in the military camp outside the palace, quietly waiting for news from the palace.

Of course, he can't take the initiative to ask for any official position.

However, if he doesn't want this official position, then he can refuse it.

"Sir Tian, ​​do you want to stay in the Central Committee or return to Fujian?" Su Ye asked.

Tian Yugong said: "I will be more useful to you there?"

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Youren

The meaning is very clear. Xu Youren doesn't have any official position now, so Tian Yugong wants to resign as the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, so that Xu Youren can take over this position.

Once Tian Yugong resigns from the post of Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he needs to be assigned a position of sufficient weight in the Central Committee.

The name of Tian Yugong must be on the list of military ministers.

Next is the father-in-law Chongen, what position should be planned for him?

Xu Youren asked, "Where is Lord Shen Baozhen?"

Tian Yugong asked, "To be more precise, where is the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone?"

Su Ye understood what Tian Yugong said. The Westernization Movement would be expanded. In order to prevent the local areas from carrying out the Westernization Movement independently, the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone would need to be assigned to the central government.

But now Su Ye really needs the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone as an industry under his absolute control.

What can be done to make the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone both submitted to the central government and completely under Su Ye's control?

Tian Yugong said: "Then we will separate the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone from Jiangxi and make it subordinate to the Central Government. Let Lord Shen Baozhen serve as the Minister of Southern Foreign Affairs and concurrently hold the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Xu Youren said: "What about the post of Governor of Jiangxi?"

Tian Yugong was silent for a while and said: "Can it only be handed over to the Hunan Army?"

Xu Youren said: "Sir, in the current situation, can Zeng Guofan be regarded as actively dismantling the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance?"

"No."

Tian Yugong said: "Yes, he came to the Chengde Palace on behalf of the Hunan Army, and did not visit Lord Su Ye when he was in the capital. He did show his disloyalty, but he did not withdraw from the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance after all."

Xu Youren said: "According to the plan of the adults, industrialization should be carried out nationwide. But there is a prerequisite for this, that all provinces must be under our control."

Although Su Ye has not yet entered the Central Government, it is necessary to think about the problem with the Central Government's thinking.

After a little thought, it is a complete mess.

Guangzhou was still under the rule of the Three-Man Committee. There was not a single Chinese soldier in the city, and several thousand British and French troops were stationed there.

Four of the southern provinces were under the control of the Hunan Army, forming a semi-separatist faction.

The rebels still had hundreds of thousands of troops and occupied a large area of ​​land.

The Nian Army was in full swing in Henan, Shandong and other places.

The most troublesome thing was that in the northwest, an unprecedented riot was brewing.

Tian Yugong said: "Sir, your first policy after entering the center is very important. Have you thought about it?"

Su Yi said: "Still weighing it."

Tian Yugong was right. Now the whole world has experienced unprecedented upheavals.

First, the British and French forces broke through the capital, and then Su Yi forced the center to abdicate, almost causing a civil war in the Qing court.

Therefore, now the entire court center is at its lowest authority.

Once Su Yi entered the center, the world would pay attention.

His first policy became extremely critical.

If the huge dilemma faced by the entire empire is an extremely powerful enemy,

Then the first policy of Su Ye after entering the center is the clarion call to charge the enemy.

The empire is exhausted, and people's minds are changing.

No matter how many people oppose Su Ye's rise to power, and how many people secretly curse him.

But more people are looking forward to it.

Especially the people of the world, they must be looking forward to Su Ye's performance in the center.

They want him to change the country and bring a new atmosphere.

They want him to lead the country to become stronger.

Tian Yugong said: "So the first policy of your Excellency after entering the center must be big enough and shocking."

Xu Youren said: "Yes, but it must be relatively easy to complete."

Chongen nodded in agreement: "Yes, it must be relatively easy to complete. The success or failure of the first policy is too important. It is related to morale and the confidence of the people of the world in Su Ye."

Tian Yugong said: "Next, we will all put forward our own ideas and summarize them to your Excellency."

"Work together."

…………………………

At this time, in the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall of Chengde Palace.

Cixi asked what official position to give Su Ye? No one answered for a long time.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "It has come to this point, and it can't be delayed any longer."

The several ministers of state present were of course unwilling to let Su Ye enter the central government.

But there was no way, Su Ye was awesome, and he squeezed into the central government with his own tough means.

The key is that until now, they still fight and cannot break.

Duanhua said: "Two ministers of state have been vacant, let Su Ye and Mian Yu join the ranks of ministers of state."

Zaiyuan said: "In addition, Su Ye wants to engage in foreign affairs, right? Let him be the minister of foreign affairs, concurrently the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the minister of military affairs, and the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Jingshou said: "In this way, Su Ye's authority is already significant enough, and he ranks among the ministers of state."

Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Empress Dowager Ci'an next to her and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

The Empress Dowager Ci'an is obviously two years younger, so every time she hears this sister, she feels awkward.

"You decide." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "As long as you decide, I don't have any objections."

Prince Gong said: "Empress Dowager, are you going to declare the decree to Su Yi now?"

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Don't be too busy announcing the decree. Find someone to talk to him about."

"Who do you want to let go of this?"

Sushun said: "Go ahead, sir."

Several people present heard Sushun calling himself a minister, not a slave.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Then I'll have to work hard in Su Zhongtang."

……………………

"Please see me in Suzhong Hall," Li Qi said.

Su Yi left the camp in person, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Su Zhongtang."

Sushun stepped forward and said, "You and I, my own brothers, don't have to be so polite."

It's strange to say that Su Yi and Su Shun have fought openly and secretly many times, but when they met, they were still affectionate.

After the two of them sat down, they said solemnly: "You and I are of the same banner. Brother, I am more than twenty years older than you. Now that I see you entering the center, brother, I am really happy for you. You are really a formidable young man."

Su Yi said: "Sixth brother is laughing."

Sushun said: "Brother, you also know Sixth Brother's attitude. Even during the time of the late emperor, Sixth Brother wanted to innovate, but the late Emperor firmly opposed it, and Sixth Brother could not disobey it. But you also know in your heart that we also It’s like-minded.”

Su Yi said: "I know very well what Sixth Brother was thinking at that time."

Sushun said: "This time you enter the center, Sixth Brother and other brothers are also very supportive. The country of the Qing Dynasty still needs us clans to come."

"Sixth Brother is here to talk to you. The imperial court wants you to join the ranks of Minister of Guan Ming, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Military Aircraft, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Household Affairs."

Listening to this series of official positions, Su Yi was slightly stunned.

There is no doubt that the court is very sincere in this regard.

This is definitely a position of high authority.

Even among the nine ministers who care about life, these powers are ranked at the top.

Seeing Su Yi pondering, Su Shun's heart sank. Isn't this still dissatisfying?

That would be too greedy.

Su Yi said: "Sixth brother, brother, can I tell you the truth?"

Sushun said: "You tell me."

Su Yi said: "Of course these official positions are important enough, but they are not what I want."

Sushun said: "Then what do you want?"

Su Yi said: "Innovation."

Sushun said: "Tell me about it."

Su Yi said: "First of all, I have sworn that I will never take any official position from the late emperor. But this minister who cares about life is obviously canonized by the late emperor."

"In addition, the imperial court has experienced these changes, people's mentality has changed, and the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, so we simply remove the entire team of ministers who care about life."

As soon as these words came out, Sushun's expression changed drastically.

Remove them all?

Does that mean denying everything the late emperor did?

Yes, yes.

When Su Yi was in office, the late emperor once said in front of everyone that Su Yi was a rebellious minister and a traitor who deserved to die. Although they didn't die together after going to Jiujiang, they also attended Su Yi's wedding.

However, the late emperor never publicly vindicated Su Yi, and even before his death, the late emperor had a secret decree to eradicate Su Yi.

The plaque of the traitor and the traitor and the stone tablet of the traitor are still standing in Su Yi's house.

Therefore, if Su Yi wanted to ascend to the throne in a legitimate way, he must first deny the late emperor.

Minister Gu Ming is the political legacy of the late emperor, so he must first deny it.

But this would completely subvert the center.

Just denying the late emperor's point made Sushun frightened and did not dare to accept it.

His face turned pale and he said to Su Yi: "Brother, I know what you are thinking. I will go back to the two palaces and report to the empress dowager."

……………………

Sushun returned to the palace.

This time he did not consult with Duan Hua, Zai Yuan and others, but went directly to meet the two empress dowagers.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Su Yi did not agree."

Empress Dowager Cixi was stunned and said: "Does he think that the official is small? This is already very big. Not only has he entered the central government, but he is also ranked among the top ministers."

But for Su Yi, showing an innovative attitude is the most important.

For the imperial court, it was still the old thinking.

Don’t you, Su Yi, want to enter the center? If you can do it, we will give you a big official position with great power.

But what Su Yi wants is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere.

What we want is to give people a subversive change.

Sushun said: "That's not what he meant, but the late emperor once said that he was a rebellious minister and a traitor. He was unwilling to accept everything from the late emperor. Minister Gu Ming was the late emperor's political legacy, so he was unwilling to accept it either."

Cixi's expression changed slightly and she said, "Does he mean to deny everything the late emperor first?"

Sushun said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "In other words, we must first completely eliminate the existing imperial center?"

Sushun said: "Yes."

The expressions of Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an also changed slightly.

Yehenala said: "Isn't this difficult for him?"

Sushun said: "The Queen Mother, I think the Queen Mother of the two palaces should have a detailed discussion with Su Yi."

Cixi said: "Su Zhongtang, unless I agree with him, it is better not to have an interview."

Sushun said: "I didn't think twice about it."

……………………

Next, there was news in the Chengde Palace.

Su Yi wanted to completely overthrow the existing imperial court center and completely overthrow the system of Gu Mingjiu Ministers.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Isn't this going to be subversive?

And this is to deny the late emperor?

Therefore, this matter was put on hold for the time being.

The next day, the ceremony of paying homage to the late emperor by all the governors, generals and Mongolian princes was carried out as usual.

The late emperor's coffin was opened. Because it had been in a deep ice cellar for a long time and was treated with special methods, it was still not corrupted, and the smell was suppressed with spices.

Hundreds of officials lined up outside and entered the hall one by one to pay homage to the late emperor's remains.

Everyone is waiting for a result.

Will Su Yi come?

Because he wanted to completely reorganize the center of the imperial court and deny the late emperor.

Many people speculated that there was a high probability that Tian Yu Guild would come and Chong En would come as well, but Su Yi would not come.

As a result, Su Yi came.

The official position he currently holds is still only the Admiral of the Nine Sects, ranking very low, almost submerged among many high-ranking officials.

Soon, it was Su Yi's turn to go in and pay his respects.

Of course Su Yi has to come, just for that sentence, even if he can't be a king or a minister, he can still be a relative.

Privately, he was the late emperor's brother-in-law.

Su Yi bowed meticulously and then left the stage.

However, the situation is still slightly stagnant.

Su Yi's intention was too great. To deny the late emperor was too shocking.

Moreover, reorganizing the center of the imperial court means that many people will lose their huge power.

Therefore, although the entire Chengde Palace was peaceful, the atmosphere still seemed depressing.

Civil war did not break out.

But if Su Yi's request is really followed, it will be a complete coup.

…………………………

Cixi summoned Ronglu again.

"Rong Lu, what should we do with this situation now?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked: "Su Yi wants to deny the late emperor, reorganize the center of the imperial court, and completely ignore the ministers who have ordered him to do so."

Ronglu said: "Empress Dowager, do you want me to go talk to Su Yi?"

Cixi said: "It's best if you go and talk. If we talk to him, there will be no room for retreat."

Ronglu was silent for a moment and said: "The Queen Mother, I have something to say from my heart."

Cixi said: "Tell me about it."

Ronglu said: "The current situation cannot be changed. In this case, it is better for the Queen Mother of the two palaces to open their hearts to Master Su Yi. The court can no longer tolerate any turmoil."

Cixi said: "Rejecting the late emperor and reorganizing the center of the imperial court will cause huge turmoil in itself."

Ronglu said: "Maybe, this is the least turbulent kind."

For a moment, the Queen Mothers of the two palaces fell into silence.

Ronglu is right, this is probably the least turbulent.

Ronglu said: "Moreover, we must believe in Mr. Su Yi on one point. He is a great politician, and we must believe in his political integrity."

"At this critical moment, it is best not to have any suspicion between the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Lord Su Yi. Once there is suspicion, the consequences will be shocking."

Cixi and Ci'an looked at each other, then nodded and said, "You are right."

Then, Cixi said: "And Hai, go to Su Yi and summon him to see you."

Andehai said: "嗻!"

………………………………

Andehai was also one of the most important eunuchs in the palace at this time.

After seeing Su Yi at this time, he immediately went forward and knelt down to salute: "My slave, please pay your respects to Mr. Su."

Su Yi and Ande Hai were half enemies before.

Because An Dehai and Gui'er didn't deal with each other, and Concubine Yi expelled Gui'er from the palace at that time, Ande Hai added fuel to the fire.

It's just that this is a eunuch, and Su Yi can't afford to compete with him now.

Moreover, An Dehai had never really offended Su Yi.

However, other eunuchs who had offended Su Yi would not fare well.

Su Yi raised her hand and said, "Get up."

Andehai said: "The Queen Mother sent her slaves to invite Mr. Su into the palace for an interview."

Su Yi said: "Oh, I understand."

A moment later, Su Yi, wearing the official uniform of a nine-door admiral, followed Ande Hai into the palace.

Throughout the process, Andehai bent down and led the way.

"Your Majesty Su Yi, please visit the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

"Get up."

Then the Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, our sisters also know what you mean. It's not that we don't support you, but the turmoil is too great, and we are a little worried."

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother, the world is still in chaos and the country is exhausted. We must reform to give hope to the people of the country."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "We know this, so the Westernization Movement and other reforms will also be carried out next."

Su Yi said: "Queen Mother, before innovation, you must show your attitude. There is a new era and a new atmosphere. New wine is put in old bottles. I am afraid that many people may not be able to taste it, so it is still necessary to replace it with new bottles."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The Ai family understands what you mean, but denying the late emperor is too big a deal."

Su Yi said: "I have already said that the system of ministers taking orders is unreasonable. Therefore, I ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen to the affairs behind the curtain."

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Cixi pricked up her ears and said, "What next?"

Su Yi said: "Then establish a political hall, appoint several political ministers, and establish a new center."

Su Yi's tone was still very calm.

But Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an were frightened when they heard this.

This is to restore the cabinet system. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it also followed the Ming system and adopted the cabinet system.

But soon the power of the cabinet gradually lost. After Emperor Yongzheng established the Military Aircraft Department, the power was transferred to the Military Aircraft Department.

But the military aircraft department is all part-time, with real power but no name.

The cabinet has reputation but no real power.

The Qing emperor desperately suppressed the power of the prime minister, constantly minimizing the cabinet, resulting in a high degree of monarchical centralization.

But now Su Yi not only wants to restore the power of the cabinet, but also directly adopts the name of Zhengshitang because the cabinet has been weakened for too long.

Because now all the bachelors in the cabinet have received great honors, and their positions have been occupied.

Therefore, what Su Yi wants is a new name and a new team.

In the minds of Ci Xi and Ci An, this was too subversive.

"Su Yi, this political hall is the name of the Tang and Song Dynasties, right?" Cixi said.

Su Yi said: "The Queen Mother can be regarded as a brand new famous official. There was no military department before the Yongzheng Dynasty."

Cixi said: "According to your opinion, how many ministers are there in total in this political hall?"

Su Yi said: "Four to five people."

This means that it is impossible to transition Minister Gu Ming.

To put it bluntly, this is to lose the power of most ministers who care about life.

In the Xinyou coup in history, the Queen Mother of the two palaces and Minister Gu Ming fought with real swords and guns, so they completely defeated Minister Gu Ming.

But now, there is no opposition between the Queen Mother and Minister Gu Ming. Instead, they are allies on a certain level.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi, the last crisis was over with the murder of Du Han and Kuang Yuan, right? It's not going to expand anymore, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "It is very difficult to remove and disband those ministers who care about their lives."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yi, what other ideas do you have?"

Su Yi said: "I want to establish a Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Office to be in charge of foreign affairs with various countries."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "This is not difficult."

Next, Cixi looked at Empress Dowager Ci'an and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

Su Yi tied the establishment of the Zhengshitang and listening to politics behind the curtain together, so the interests of both parties immediately became consistent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I want to support Su Yi, but now these ministers who have been in charge of the imperial court for more than ten years have been in charge of the imperial court for more than ten years during the late emperor's reign. They have old disciples all over the world. It would be too embarrassing to remove them directly. It must be done There’s a decent way to do it.”

"Su Yi, do you have any idea?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Cixi said: "Tell me about it."

Su Yi said: "Of the nine Ministers Gu Ming, Kuang Yuan and Du Han are dead. There are still seven people left. As long as three people resign as Minister Gu Ming, there will only be four of the nine left, which is more than half missing. The remaining four had to resign, and the nine ministers who took care of life were immediately disintegrated."

Cixi said: "What a good idea!"

Then, Cixi asked: "Who do you think the Ai family should talk to?"

Su Yi said: "Ronglu, Prince Gong, Jingshou."

Cixi said: "Why not Seng Gelinqin?"

Su Yi said: "If it is Seng Gelinqin, then the purpose is too obvious."

………………………………

Fuling will leave for Fulingnan tomorrow, so today is the last court meeting at the Chengde Palace.

In the past few days, the entire situation has been a complete stalemate that cannot be resolved.

Su Yi wanted to deny the late emperor and reorganize the center of the court.

But this progress is stuck here with the team of Minister Gu Ming.

But those ministers who cared about life were so silent. Their influence in the court was so overwhelming that it would be really difficult to deny it all at once.

Today's court meeting was originally to discuss the burial of Emperor Daxing in Dongling.

After deliberation for most of the day, all the agenda items were finally discussed.

Suddenly, Ronglu came out and said: "To the Queen Mother, there was such a major accident before, which almost led to a mutiny. As a minister who cares about life, I cannot absolve myself of the blame. I formally resigned from the post of minister of life to the Queen Mother."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. What does this mean?

Immediately afterwards, Fucha Jingshou came out and said: "I would like to report to the Queen Mother, the slaves are also to blame. I formally resign to the Queen Mother as the Minister of Guan Ming."

Finally, Prince Gong gritted his teeth and said: "I also formally resign to the Queen Mother as the Minister of Guan Ming."

Immediately, the expressions of Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Senggelinqin and others changed dramatically.

What's the meaning? !

Are you planning a surprise attack?

Of the nine ministers who cared about life, five were now removed, and more than half were gone.

What's the point of the remaining four ministers who care about life?

Just disband.

Suddenly, the others looked at Sushun to see his attitude.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Okay, okay. Why should I resign properly at this time? Can't we live in peace for a while? Can't we wait until we return to the capital?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back to the capital. Don't even discuss it. I reject it!"

Then, Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an took the little emperor's hand and left without saying a word.

The civil and military officials who had left everyone behind looked at Su Yi and suddenly felt unfathomable.

Awesome!

What a good idea.

……………………

Next, the little emperor and hundreds of officials supported the spirit and headed south.

Su He and Ronglu's army marched south with hundreds of officials, the queen mother of the two palaces and the young emperor, and returned to the capital.

The entire capital, and even the people of the world, breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the civil war did not break out, and the Qing Dynasty did not split.

But everyone is curious, what will happen next?

Where will the world go?

What position will Su Ye take?

Where will the Qing Dynasty go?

After returning to the capital, most of the governors and governors of the world still did not leave, waiting for a result.

What position can Su Ye reach?

How will the center of the court be subverted?

From now on, does it mean the arrival of a new era?

……………………………………

After returning to the capital.

First of all, a major event happened. The two empress dowagers issued an imperial decree, asking hundreds of ministers of the court, especially the remaining few ministers of life, to wait at Su Ye's mansion.

The officials were at a loss, and could only gather around Su Ye's mansion.

Countless people in the capital did not know why, but seeing so many civil and military ministers around Su Ye's mansion, they could not help but flock over.

But everyone could probably guess what was going to happen.

After waiting for more than half an hour.

The eunuch Zenglu shouted: "The emperor is here!"

Under the escort of eunuchs and guards, hundreds of people came to Su Ye's mansion.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, the little emperor got off the dragon chariot.

After getting off, seeing so many people, the little emperor was still a little timid and looked back slightly.

As if he had received enough encouragement, the little emperor came to the stone tablet at the door of your Su Ye's house.

The stone tablet of the traitor.

Someone handed over a small hammer, and the little emperor took the hammer and looked at the dragon chariot behind.

Because it was Empress Dowager Cixi inside, he looked a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, let's start." The eunuch Zenglu said.

The little emperor took the hammer and tried to remember the words to recite.

After a long while, the little emperor said, "Master Su Ye is a great loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Lord Su Ye is a great hero."

"This stone tablet is not written correctly, so I want to smash it!"

After finally finishing speaking, the little emperor picked up the hammer and used all his strength to smash it hard on the stone tablet.

"Bang bang bang!"

The little emperor's strength was small, but it was deafening.

In a sense, this means that the current emperor has completely overturned the conclusion of the previous emperor.

Su Ye is no longer a traitor.

When Empress Dowager Cixi saw this scene in the carriage, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

The emperor was weak and couldn't leave even a small mark on the stone tablet. ,

But it was completely enough.

Su Ye said that unless the emperor came to overturn this argument in person, the plaque and stone tablet of this traitor would be preserved.

Next, the little emperor had a greater difficulty.

The eunuch next to him handed him a small bow and lit a rocket.

And someone helped him aim at the plaque of Su Ye's mansion.

The plaque of the traitor.

After aiming, the little emperor held his breath and then let go.

The rocket shot out immediately.

Because there were eunuchs helping him, and the distance was only a dozen feet, the little emperor's rocket directly hit the plaque of the traitor in Su Ye's house.

"Bang!"

Then, dozens of hundreds of rockets directly hit the plaque.

"Smash the stone tablet!"

With an order, several guards stepped forward and smashed the stone tablet with a big hammer.

Several guards stepped forward, picked up the strongest bow, bent the bow and put the arrow on the plaque of the traitor.

In a short moment, the stone tablet was smashed to pieces.

The stone tablet of the traitor was shot alive.

The last arrow was particularly powerful.

It directly shot the plaque down alive.

At this point, the previous emperor's evaluation of Su Ye was completely overturned.

The civil and military officials were silent, but countless people cheered.

Most of them always supported Su Ye in their hearts.

They were full of expectations for Su Ye, a legendary figure.

What a joke? Marshal Su Ye saved the capital and the people several times, how could he be a traitor?

The little emperor looked at the burning plaque that fell to the ground and seemed very excited. He even wanted to step forward and step on it a few times.

"Marshal, win! Marshal, win!"

The surrounding Su Ye new army saw this scene and couldn't help but cheer.

……………………………………………

The next day!

A court meeting was held in the imperial palace of the capital.

The unprecedented court meeting was attended by more than a thousand officials, and the entire Qianqing Palace Square was full.

Not only the high-ranking officials of the capital, but also many frontier officials of the local governors were all present.

It has been about a year and a half. This is the first court meeting in the imperial palace in the capital since the previous emperor went north.

It is also the largest court meeting in the past ten years.

The two empress dowagers brought the little emperor to the throne.

The chief eunuch shouted: "I have a report!"

The minister of state Senggelinqin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I did not do my job well in Chengde and almost caused a big mistake. I cannot shirk my responsibility. I hereby resign from the position of minister of state!"

Then, Sushun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan and others came out and formally resigned from the position of minister of state.

All the civil and military officials present felt trembling in their hearts.

The day finally arrived.

Since Ronglu, Prince Gong, Yi, and Jingshou resigned as Minister Gu Ming, the remaining four people have no choice.

In today's court meeting, he finally resigned from his position as Minister of Gu Ming.

So far, two of the nine ministers who have taken care of their lives have died, and the remaining seven have all resigned.

Next, the Queen Mother of the two palaces made a request to stay.

The seven ministers of Gu Ming knelt down and begged to resign from their posts as ministers of Gu Ming.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces once again made efforts to stay, and the seven ministers who took care of their lives resigned again.

Finally, the three resignations and three concessions were completed in the shortest possible time.

In the end, the Queen Mother of the two palaces had to accept it.

Empress Dowager Cixi sobbed: "The reason why the late emperor conferred the title of Gu Ming Minister was for the sake of the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty. Aren't you doing this and abandoning the country of the Qing Dynasty without caring about it? Aren't you abandoning the two palaces and the emperor's orphans and widowed mother?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't want to act, but she could only wipe her eyes.

She really couldn't shed tears.

Then, Ronglu came out and said: "To inform the Queen Mother, the Emperor is too young to govern personally. I have asked the Queen Mothers of the two palaces to listen to the government behind the curtain."

Then, dozens of ministers came out one after another, knelt down and said: "I would like to ask the queen mothers of the two palaces to listen to the affairs behind the curtain."

Empress Dowager Cixi said: "You, what do you mean?"

The scholar of Tirenge University said: "To the Queen Mother, I would like to ask the Queen Mothers of the two palaces to listen to the government behind the curtain. The ministers of Gu Ming resigned collectively, but the center of the court cannot be left alone for a day. I would like to set up a political affairs hall to assist the Queen Mothers of the two palaces and the emperor in handling national affairs. ”

Immediately afterwards, another official came out and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, Lord Su Yi has saved the capital many times and turned the tide. His hard work has made great contributions. I would like to commend him."

Immediately afterwards, Tian Yugong and other ministers came out one after another and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, Su Yi has the power to turn the tide. His hard work has made great achievements, and he deserves to be rewarded."

Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at each other, and then said slowly: "Su Yi accepts the title!"

Su Yi came out of the queue and stood in the center of the hall.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Su Yi has made outstanding contributions and has noble conduct. He can be named a first-class Duke of the country!"

…………………………………………

Note: I have tried my best to code the words, but I have to update it at this time. This is the second time since I put it on the shelves that I have not updated it with more than 10,000 words. I apologize to my benefactors.

Just say weakly, can I still ask for a monthly ticket?
