3710 Old news from the Xinyou period

"Child, do you know how miserable the turmoil during the Xinyou period? My mother almost lost her life!"

The Xinyou Coup was a topic that could never be avoided in the late Qing Dynasty political arena. There was nothing that the people who were political and officials at that time didn’t understand!

Xianfeng died of illness in Chengde. Before his death, he left the eight ministers system of life and asked Cixi and Ci'an to take charge of the two seals of the Imperial Reward and Tongdaotang respectively!

This is actually a very clever political balance system. Xianfeng even left a secret edict to Ci'an that restricted Cixi!

No matter how foolish and incompetent Xianfeng was in history, he was born in the royal family and was still very talented in balancing the court, or this was deliberately created by royal education!

As soon as Emperor Xianfeng died, Cixi joined hands with Ci'an to rule the country from behind the curtain. Of course, it was impossible for two women to take the initiative to bring up this matter, but to encourage their confidant, the censor Dong Yuanchun, to submit the report!

"My son, you were too young at that time and didn't know how dangerous the situation was!"

Ci'an said with lingering fear, "On the seventh day of the eighth month, my sister and I summoned Sushun and others in the summer resort, and the one we discussed was Dong Yuanchun's remarks!"

"At that time, your mother was holding you in her arms, and you just listened quietly... When the perverse Sushun heard the system of governing the country from behind the curtain, she was furious and stood up and pointed at her nose and scolded us two widows!"

"What does the ancestral system have never had a system of ruling power behind the curtain, and what does it mean that he was the minister personally elected by the late emperor and would never obey the order of the queen mother!"

"The roof with loud noises is almost lifted up! And you... kid, you were so scared that you peed your pants and peed your mother all over!"

Zai Chun's face turned red at that time, "Where is there...what is there..."

"Don't refuse to admit it. You were still young at that time and didn't remember anything!"

Cixi's face turned pale when she recalled the bloody storm back then, "The argument at that time... no no, no, that was a big fuss. Sushun and others scolded us both as bloody spitting!"

"At that time, other officials who were not ministers were all timid and did not dare to cause trouble. We were helpless for a moment!"

"After the dispersal, less than half a day later, Sushun and others ordered Dong Yuanchun to be sent to the military station to serve... If it weren't for the chaos of preparing the emperor's coffin to return to Beijing, Dong Yuanchun would have been sent to Ulya Sutai!"

"Haha... that kid is lucky. He was imprisoned in prison for only more than half a month before Sushun was taken down, and naturally he had no sin!"

"Child...Did you know how cruel the situation was? The imperial censor arrested him and sent him to be exiled. We didn't even have the power to protect him!"

"And the most terrible thing is that without the seals of the Imperial Reward and Tongdaotang, Sushun could actually let the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites complete the case and complete the procedures!"

"What does this mean? This shows that Sushun's party members are spread throughout the court, and the officials below have only recognized people and do not have to accept imperial edicts!"

"Sushun and his friends can lock the censor without the seal of the two empress dowagers. How arrogant are you?"

Ci'an patted Zaichun's face, "You don't know a lot of things! We had to bow our heads at that time, because the entire military power of Chengde was concentrated in the hands of Prince Zheng Duanhua. Your uncle, Prince Chun, was just giving in front of others and pretending to be a grandson, and then he deceived a little bit of military power!"

"Although your sixth uncle is arrogant now, he was also a man with his tail between his legs back. After he negotiated with the foreign devils in the capital, he returned to Chengde to attend the funeral. He didn't dare to come to see us, but went to worship the military ministers first!"

"Haha... the Japanese Six was so respectful in front of Sushun at that time, and even called the eldest brother! In order to paralyze the enemy!"

"In the middle of the night, Yi? disguised himself as a shaman, came to the palace to see us, and left in a hurry after a secret conversation!"

"Child! The military power was not in our hands at that time, and even our rights to communicate were blocked by them!"

"Fortunately, you are very lucky. When you support the coffin and return to the capital, it will rain heavily. Only then can we get rid of Sushun and return to the capital four days in advance. He convinced Shengbao. Prince Gong won over other generals from the capital. In addition, Yi Huan controlled some of the official troops escorting the coffin..."

"That was the only way to catch Sushun almost!"

"That's a critical moment! Joining the news leaked in advance. With the troops and his disciples controlled by Su Shun at that time, he would definitely take the lead in attacking!"

"At that time, you will lose your mother. Sushun is really trying to kill her mother!"

What Cixi said was not bad at all. Sushun had publicly stated more than once that she wanted to kill Cixi, the witch. She didn't know where Sushun learned her ability to look at her face. Why was she so accurate?

When Cixi just showed her strength, Sushun had already discovered that this woman was unusual!

A cold wind blew in front of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, rolling up a few lonely dead leaves!

Ci'an waved his hand and got into the sedan chair. "Your Majesty... I've said so much, but in fact, in one sentence, although the winner can write history, those who have experienced bloody storms know very well that life and death were actually in the forefront at that time!"

"A difference in thought, a temporary change, just a little bit of luck... but it's the difference between life and death!"

"Don't be arrogant, don't be too confident... We living winners actually understand very well in our hearts, that's just a lucky person!"

"Don't use up all your good luck!"

This was the first time Zaichun heard the Queen Mother talk about the coup that year. He never expected that the few strokes in the history books would be so thrilling!

Zaichun was pondering, thinking about whether his plan to throw a stone into the way was a bit too radical. At this time, the conservative forces of the Qing Dynasty in Prince Gong's mansion had already secretly gathered together.

Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Lian Xing of the Ministry of Internal Affairs even has Prince Qing Yili, who was banned!

Zaichun never expected that Yi Li, who was banned by him, had always been free. Zaichun took away a Donghua Gate today, but he didn't know that the entire Interior Affairs Office was still in control of others!

Dangdang... Prince Li Shiduo picked up the white copper tobacco pot and knocked it on the side of the copper spittoon. The snow-white ashes were scattered all over the floor. "What are you stupid? I am just a coward. A person who eats idle food in the sect's mansion must be a big deal if I call me here!"

"Why haven't you spoke yet? I'll leave if I don't say it..."

Prince Li Shiduo has no real power. The prince in the clan mansion is in charge of the idle position of the Eight Banners genealogy. Today, he can invite him out, which shows that the Japanese Six is ​​really determined!

Zai Cheng couldn't help but stand and quickly put a tobacco pot for Prince Li, and respectfully lit it with foreign fire. "What else can I do? Isn't it just Donghuamen?"

"En Guang is considered disabled. He was beaten so hard that his skin was broken and his two front teeth were knocked off!"

"I beat Enguang, but I swept the entire body of our Eight Banners!"

"Dear uncles and men, we can't retreat anymore. If we retreat, we should knock off our front teeth!"
Chapter completed!
