C3475 Ceng Shuai in the palanquin (2/2)

”What are you looking at!?” Go on... Didn't you hear that the marshal had arranged an American steamer in the Da Gu Kou? They're all coal-burning, and they can even drive in the wind. ”” No, I don't, ”I said.” No, no ”Hurry and get on the ship!”

Putting aside Weng Tonghe and the others, there were still a few other genuine buddhas in the Forbidden City. They could not leave the Beijing, as the political situation of the late Qing was entirely dependent on them.

empress dowagers was already present, Prince Kung, Prince of Alcohol as well as Prince Chun of the Little Fifth Master. Dao Guang Emperor's three sons were also present.

They anxiously waited for Ceng Guofan to arrive. Not long later, a young eunuch ran in from outside the door and knelt down, ”Reporting to the empress dowager and prince, Great Marshal Zeng has already entered the Donghua Gate, the palanquin has already been brought over …”

”Please... ”Quick, come in!” Ci Xi was the first to speak.

In this period of time, Ci Xi was as anxious and restless as an ant on a hot pan. Ever since the news that the Tongzhi Emperor had left Europa and returned home had arrived, Ci Xi had been going crazy.

Sometimes he would cry, sometimes he would laugh. He was completely hysterical!

Everyone knew that when the Jingshan Palace changed, Ci Xi lost most of his power and was completely at a disadvantage in the political battle.

If it wasn't for the fact that her son was the emperor, she wouldn't have been able to keep her little life. Her son was her everything, and he was her greatest reliance on restoring her power.

Everyone present knew what Ci Xi was thinking, they had never mentioned it before, but the three princes even stood up. ”Ceng Shuai still has to bother him to enter the palace, we have to welcome him …”

After saying that, the three dukes walked out of the Yangxin Palace, and actually stood at the door waiting for Ceng Guofan's palanquin!

No one could pick out Ceng Guofan from the Yangxin Palace after riding in the palanquin. Not long after, they saw Peng Yulin and a group of eunuchs supporting the palanquin as they walked over quickly.

”Falling palanquin, quickly descend …” It's so embarrassing for me, how can the three princes personally come to welcome us! ”

In the end, the Young Fifth Master Yi that was famous for his benevolence and righteousness actually took a few quick steps forward and grabbed onto Ceng Guofan's hand while saying with concern, ”Why has the marshal lost weight again … Are the eunuchs and maids that I've made for the marshal hard to order around? ”

”Ouch …” Prince Chun has truly failed me, they are serving me well … It's really hard to buy someone with a thousand gold coins, isn't it? ”

Everyone was a pillar of the late Qing's political scene. Although they all had their own thoughts, at this moment, they looked like a row of celestial beings, walking together into the Yangxin Palace.

When he entered the Yangxin Palace, Ceng Guofan still wanted to bow, but how could the empress dowagers make him kneel? ”You don't have a good body, quickly move the chair over …”

”You are the Great Qing's Sea Suppressing Divine Needle! You will feel at ease when you are with I … ”

Ceng Guofan was indeed at the end of his tether. Others might not know him, but Xiao Letian knew very well that next year, 1872 would be the end of Ceng Guofan's life.

However, no one could say whether or not Ceng Guofan could pass through this hurdle in this parallel universe. However, Xiao Letian knew that the inertia of history was still extremely strong.

Xiao Letian was even clear that before Ceng Guofan could take care of government affairs, he would need a small amount of opium to calm his mind. Furthermore, he would also need the guard elder Nong's help to soothe his vital energy and blood.

Just like that, Ceng Guofan could only maintain his office for thirty to forty minutes, and then, he would immediately rest!

How many times had Jiu Shuai and the others advised him to quickly return to his village to rest? However, the Great Marshal had refused all of them!

”Before His Majesty comes to power, I will not leave, and I will not die!”
