”The empress dowager is too serious. This subject is only discussing the matter. Changing the plans is indeed difficult, and it's not that this subject is trying to shirk responsibility!”
Yi Nan and the rest truly did not understand why Ci Xi was going crazy. The logic was extremely clear, time was not enough for one to complete the mission, and no one, who was not a deity, could do so many things in two days!
Why does it not make sense? What were they planning to do by scolding the officials? What kind of intentions could he have? To put it harshly, even if he, Xie Zi Liu, wanted to rebel against the palace and kill the emperor himself, he would still ascend to the throne.
Even if he wanted to do this, he shouldn't be reluctant to part with that little bit of dirt, right?
Ci Xi's eyes were completely red. Seeing this bunch of damned subjects trembling in anger, she even turned his pleading gaze towards Ceng Guofan, who had been sitting silently on the chair all this time.
Sigh … Ceng Guofan let out a long sigh and said softly, ”You guys! Have you forgotten? Five years ago, Xiao Letian fought his way into the capital from Guandong Gate! ”
Just this sentence was enough to remind all the ministers present. How could he have forgotten about this!
”This...”'s face immediately turned completely red. ”This …”
It had already been more than five years, and time passed by too quickly. Back then, when Ci Xi took a risk and activated the palace transformation to destroy the late emperor's decree, it was Qing San Ye and Hairy Two who led a group of loyal imperial eunuchs and guards to return to the Jingshan.
The empress dowagers was in a stalemate because of a single mountain, Xiao Letian's CIA … At that time, it was still called Discipline Hall! It was precisely because the Discipline Hall gave the Empress Dowager of the East a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as combatants, that he was able to hang on.
After Xiao Letian received the secret edict from Ci An's side, the Chinese army attacked Beijing from all over and defeated Li Hongzhang's Huai Army and the last eight banner army along the way.
A bloody battle between the Guandong Gate's Chinese soldiers had finally returned to the Beijing!
The Guandong Gate was the city gate that Xiao Letian killed and left the city gate with the little emperor. In Ci Xi's heart, this was the most ominous place!
He really didn't expect these people to be so forgetful. It had only been five years and they had already forgotten about it!
”I is disappointed... All of you are old people of eight flags, and your family has been enjoying the imperial government's ironclad crops for over two hundred years! ”
”Also, you Chinese Officer, all of you are well-versed in the ways of the past and the present. You guys have done this many times, so how about you guys have good memory?”
”Yi Kuang! Where are you hiding? What about your ability to boast about your ancestors? ”You should remember everything that happened during the Lunar New Year, right? How come you don't remember anything today?”
Ci Xi's eyes were filled with tears as he felt wronged: ”I finally understand, this is bullying my orphans and widows! All of you just don't want the His Majesty to take over personally, so you want to anger the Emperor to death! ”Sob, sob, sob …”
”Long live this official! Majesty, please calm your anger! ” What are you still talking about now? Kneel down and kowtow!
Other than Ceng Guofan, all the other officials were already kneeling. This Viceroy did not want to kneel, nor did he want to be stuck in an awkward situation. He simply stood up and took a step back to hide in a corner.
Ci An was not in a good health today and had not come from the start. Perhaps, in her heart, entering from any city gate was meaningless.
The question of who would be the one to call the shots and who would end up being the boss was left hanging in the air!
At this moment, he also wanted to lower his head and admit it. Deisenmun is just Deisenmun, what are you shouting at me for! But changing the plan was easy, but how were they going to solve the problem?
It was impossible to complete such a huge project in two days!
Grand Scholar Li Hongzao pondered for a long time before he carefully said, ”How about... How about Zuoanmen? Isn't Zuo An Gate located south of Guandong Gate? If you want to enter the city from somewhere, you should take a detour! ”
