”Emperor! Emperor, what happened to you? ” Da Sixi, who was standing guard outside the door, brought a few Young Eunuch s and ran in. ”Your Majesty, did you have a nightmare?”
Zai Chun said with a pale face, ”What time is it now? ”Tell me what time it is …”
He turned his head to look at the golden chime clock in the corner. The hour hand pointed to 5: 10 in the morning. It was time for the eunuchs to call for Emperor.
”Your Majesty, you must have worked hard these past few days, this Slave dares to ask Master to rest a bit more. If I knew, this Empress Mother wouldn't have blamed you!”
”Please take a rest …”
Zai Chun was panicking in his heart, the dream was so clear that it was hard for him to fall asleep. He stood up and began to pace back and forth with his Clothes, scaring the eunuchs to the point that they did not know what was happening!
Kaiser has two hundred years of strict rules. Being a Kaiser is not easy!
Zai Chun who was dressed in casual clothes was walking around Plum Dock, but he was still not able to calm down. In the end, the bad news came about at half past five!
A Young Eunuch came running in with a plain Recital in his hands as he ran unsteadily into the room. When he passed the screen, he almost fell down.
”Emperor... Emperor... Something terrible had happened... Donghua Gate received an urgent report … ”
”Stuttering about what? ”Speak properly, you don't have any rules at all...” Da Sixi glared fiercely at Young Eunuch.
Young Eunuch knelt outside Plum Dock and kowtowed to Zai Chun. At this moment, Kaiser's face was pale as if he already knew something.
”Your Majesty... Just now, the Donghua Gate had delivered it in a hurry … The bodyguard s of the South of the city Palace had arrived … I've brought a condolences report! ”
”Your Majesty... Ceng Guofan is dead! ”
Ah!” At this moment, he could no longer tell what was real and what was a dream. The marshal had asked him to dream, but the message was sent to the palace within 20 minutes!
”Quick... Hurry up and return us the Clothes, I want to take a look... Go send Grand Marshal off! ”
Eunuch s looked for Clothes s, held handscarves and washbasins, then called for bodyguard s who had come out of the palace. Official s who had called for Yuelin New Army s and Military Secretary s who had been left to guard the palace!
Resting heart door suddenly came back and forth, and the people that went in and out of it were all the figures of the Young Eunuch!
”Quick, quick, quick... Herba Euphorbiae went to offer his condolences, why did he bring that piece of white jade? ”Blind people will not serve …”
With a bang, the flustered palace maid knocked over the face of the Kaiser who had just finished washing his face. How did you serve me! ”Drag him out to kneel on the ground …”
”Eat breakfast first, give Herba Euphorbiae a place as a ginseng soup … Wait, Herba Euphorbiae doesn't like ginseng soup s, go into the Silver Eared Swallow Soup … ”
”Quickly, go call Ma Ming in again, Herba Euphorbiae is waiting for him …”
The chaos was like a market, at this time, Bao Yun, who was on duty, ran in with red eyes, just as he was about to kneel down and kowtow, Zai Chun forgave him!
”Don't kneel at such a time!” ”My mind is in a mess. Tell me what to do.”
Bao Yun was so frightened by the sudden news that his face turned white ”Long live! Right now, the first thing I need to do is to quickly inform empress dowagers. The second is to immediately think of a way to reward the rest of Grand Marshal's family and the other generals! ”
”When the human heart is at its most unstable, you must at least put these people's hearts at ease …” Especially two people. One is Zuo Jigao in the Northwest, and the other is the Nine Commanders Ceng Guoju that is left behind in the Jiangning. There is no need for Li Hongzhang to worry while we are in the Capital … ”
