C3689 (1/2)
Of course, Ci Xi hoped that her son's rights would become more and more important. He only felt that Zai Chun's requests were too little and not too excessive.
Ci An thought about the issue even more deeply, he had to consider the balance in the current situation, the Great Qing could not afford to waste anymore time, there was a rising Chinese warlord, and outside there were foreign devils and two evil beings from the Hua Clan who were eyeing him covetously.
At this time, if the Manchu started fighting amongst themselves, there would be no way to deal with this situation!
If he agreed to Zai Chun's request, then Xishan camp would definitely cause a ruckus, but if he agreed to General Gui's blackmail, would His Majesty's dignity still be up for it? Will it affect his governance in the future?
Just as Ci An was hesitating, Zhou Daoying carefully walked over and whispered into the empress dowager's ears, ”Empress Dowager …” New Imperial Army brought live ammunition into the capital, there really are real bullets in their guns … ”
”Hiss …” It was as if this was the first time Ci An had met him, Ci An opened his eyes wide and looked at this brat who was away from the capital for five years!
He was indeed big, and his body had also become stronger. His previously pale skin had now become a healthy black, especially since his eyes no longer had that child's cowardly look. Instead, they were now filled with confidence and pride!
They had to make a prompt decision, they couldn't drag this matter on any longer. The Chinese Officer looked at him in a different light!
”Pass I's imperial decree! His Majesty can order three hundred new banner men to be stationed in Donghua Gate. Since His Majesty has gotten used to it, there is no need to change them! ”
”The defense of the Deisenmun and the Yongding Sect is jointly managed by the minister of nine city gates and the New Imperial Army. Each faction will send out 800 troops, and the two sides will each take half!”
”Long live! You haven't gotten married yet, and you don't have a marriage contract. There are a lot of things that need to be done slowly! ”
”Since the empress dowager has already spoken, what else do we have to say? We'll do as the empress dowager says!”
As he spoke till here, Zai Chun still walked over to him with a smile. He picked up the Prince Kung's hat on the ground and respectfully put it on for his royal uncle!
”Royal Uncle, please get up. Why is there a need for this!?” ”Nephew is young and doesn't know anything, and likes to cause trouble. In the future, Royal Uncle will want to raise more, hurry up and don't say anything about farming outside of the borders …”
General Gui also laughed. He put on his hat and stood up, ”Long live the old. These five years of travelling have truly seen the world. I wonder what kind of students can teach them?”
”Haha, of course the Great Qing is going to change, but no matter how it changes, our thoughts will always be on the same side as the Eight Banners.
”I hope that Imperial Uncle will forgive my nephew's efforts!”
”I dare not, the His Majesty is the world's most decisive person, what can this subject say …”
”Empress Dowager, this banquet has already been given to you. The ceremony is already over …” This official had blown cold winds for several days, so I won't be attending the feast with the occasional cold! ”Goodbye …”
After saying that, General Gui turned around and left, but no one dared to stop him. empress dowagers only let out a long sigh and stopped talking. At this moment, the Hong Dian Temple's disciple, who was so frightened that his heart was about to burst, bravely stepped forward to demand an order!
”To …” Too... Her Majesty sends her regards … The Feast of Hong Diao Temple has... ”It's all ready …”
”What are you waiting for?” Hurry up and move... This place is a mess for cleaning up... And these soldiers in front of Supreme Harmony Hall, was it chaos? ”They all moved to the open space in front of the archery pavilion to eat …”
Ci An extended his hand and grabbed the arm of the Tongzhi Emperor, ”Your Majesty, we can forget about the toast, Yangxin Palace has given you such a small treat, let's go eat!” With that, he dragged Zai Chun towards the imperial harem.
When he passed by the New Imperial Army square formation, the hairs on his back were all standing on end. He felt as if there were three thousand pairs of eyes staring right at him.
