”Child, do you know how terrible the turmoil of the unitary years was? Mother nearly lost her life! ”
The Sin-uni coup d'état was a topic that the political world of the late Qing would never be able to get around. At that time, there was nothing that the officials of the government did not understand!
Xian Feng died from illness in the Chengde, and before he died, he left behind the Gu Ming and eight ministers System, allowing Ci Xi and Ci An to take charge of the bestowment and the two seals of the same hall!
This was actually a very clever system of political balance. Xian Feng had even left behind a secret edict to restrict Ci Xi!
No matter how mediocre and incompetent Xian Feng was in the history, he was born the royal family and had talent for balancing the situation. Or rather, this was something that the royal family had purposely built!
With the death of Emperor Xian Feng, Ci Xi immediately joined forces with Ci An to request for the court to be at ease. Of course, it was impossible for the two women to take the initiative to mention this matter.
”My son, you were still too young and didn't even know how dangerous the situation was!”
Ci An said with lingering fear in his heart, ”On the seventh day of the eighth month, my sister and I called Su Shun and the others over at the mountain resort.
”At that time, your Mother was holding you in her arms, and you were just quietly listening … When the crazed Su Shun heard about the system of letting the curtains fall, he was immediately enraged. He ignored the rules and stood up, pointed at his nose and scolded us two widows! ”
”What do you mean that the Ancestor has never had a public order? What do you mean, he was chosen by the late emperor himself, Minister Cheng Xiang? He definitely won't listen to the Empress Dowager's orders!”
”The roof with the loud noise is about to be lifted open! And you... My child, you were so scared that you peed your pants, peeing all over your Mother! ”
Zai Chun's face immediately turned red, ”Where … ”How can that be …”
”Don't deny it. You were still young at that time and you didn't even remember anything!”
Ci Xi thought back to that bloody storm and his pale face ”Back then, our argument... No, no, no, that would be a huge ruckus. Su Shun and the others had scolded us two until our heads turned red! ”
”At that time, the officials of the other ministers were all submissive and did not dare to get into trouble. We could do nothing about it!”
”After the conflict ends, not even half a day had passed before Su Shun and the others order to lock down Dong Yuanalcohol so that he could be assigned to the military platform as their role … If it were not for the chaotic preparations for the return of the Emperor's coffin to the capital, Dong Yuanju would have truly been sent to Uriah Su Tai! ”
”Hehe …” That brat's luck is great. After being locked up in the prison for only half a month, Su Shun was taken down, so the crimes on his body will naturally be cleared! ”
”Child …” Do you know how cruel the situation was? The grand censor can just grab onto whatever he wants, and can even get her to do whatever he wants. We don't even have the power to protect her! ”
”And the most important thing is that, without the Imperial Ruler and the seal of our Hall, Su Shun was actually able to have the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Justice settle the case and clear the formalities!”
”What does this mean? This means that Su Shun's faction is spread throughout the entire imperial court, and the officials below have only recognized people, and not the orders! ”
”For Su Shun to be able to lock down the censor's history without the empress dowagers's seal, how arrogant do you think he is?”
Ci An patted Zai Chun's face, ”There are a lot of things that you don't know! At that time, we had to lower our heads because all of the military power in Chengde was concentrated in the hands of Prince Zheng Hua.
”Although your Sixth Uncle is now arrogant, he was a man with his tail between his legs back then. After the negotiations between the capital and the foreign devil, he returned to the Chengde to mourn. He didn't even dare to meet us, his mother and I, and instead went to pay respects to the Military Secretary first!”
”Hehe …” At that time, General Gui Six was as obedient as he could be in front of Su Shun. He even called out Big Brother's name! It's all to numb the enemy! ”
”In the middle of the night, Yi Yeyu disguised himself as a Shaman and came to the palace to see us. He had a secret conversation with us for less than two hours before he left in a hurry!”
