    Besides, after Zai Ling slipped away, he did not dare to go back to Fu Guogong's mansion. He knew that he was in big trouble this time, so he hurried to his villa in Mao'er Alley with two followers to take shelter.  Most of the princes in the capital had the habit of setting up offices outside the palace to raise women, and Zai Ling was no exception.

    After arriving at the outer house in Mao'er Hutong, Zai Ling walked into the inner room uneasily. The woman he raised here happily greeted her: "Master, you haven't even come yet. I'll have people prepare wine and food."  go."

    Zai Ling pushed the woman's hand away uneasily and said angrily: "How long has it been since you still have such thoughts? Go, go!" The woman retreated unhappily, and Zai Ling ordered his men to go out to find out the news.

    It was late at night when the entourage came back and only reported: "Sir, all nine gates have been sealed, and the whole city is being hunted to capture the remnants of Sushun's party."

    Zai Ling¡¯s face was ashen as she said: ¡°This woman is so damn cruel. She has arranged everything early in the morning. She is just waiting for us to pick a pretext so that she can attack others. We still underestimate her.¡±

    While he was talking, there was a loud knock on the door. Zai Ling didn't care to think about it and ordered his entourage to deal with it. He was about to pack up his belongings and run away from the back door. Unexpectedly, just after he finished the order, the door was violently smashed open.  , the door latch was broken, and a group of people in uniforms of the palace guards rushed in. Following them was Prince Hui Mianyu.

    Seeing that it was Mian Yu, Zai Ling felt a lot more at ease. Although Mian Yu's face was towards the Empress Dowager Cixi, Mian Yu had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. Maybe he could be spared, so he stepped forward and said: "  Uncle, you always want to save the little one."

    Mian Yu looked cold and snorted angrily: "You have done such a good thing, what is there to say about it now? Come on. Get me tied up and sent to the Ministry of Punishment!"

    The guards on the left and right came up and pressed Zai Ling. When Zai Ling saw Mian Yu turned his back and refused to recognize anyone, he immediately cursed: "Uncle, you are treating me like this. You will regret it in the future! Sooner or later, the man in the west will kill us all.  It¡¯s ruined! If you still help the tyrants to commit evil, how will you be able to meet your ancestors in the future"

    After the scolding, Zai Ling was stuffed in the mouth. He whimpered and couldn't curse anymore. He was quickly taken away by the guards. Mian Yu rolled up his sleeves, with a sad look on his face, and said to himself: "Why don't I know? It's just that you guys acted too hastily.  . The truth was revealed, and in order to win the trust of that woman, I had to sacrifice you."

    It¡¯s night and the capital is under martial law.  A total of more than a thousand Manchu and Mongolian ministers and nobles were imprisoned in Jiucheng Dasuo. Some of them did not participate in the Meridian Gate petition, but they were all imprisoned.  The crime is to suppress the remnants of the rebellious party.  However, Prince Hui and his party firmly stood on the side of the Queen Mother.  Yesuo took many people up, and for a while the officials in the capital exclaimed that it turned out that the highly respected Prince Hui was also from the party of the Queen Mother of the West.

    In the early morning, the situation became increasingly tense. The capital's infantry commander's office, Gyeonggi camp, Fengtai camp and other armies also began to capture people. A large number of generals and deputy generals were captured. The emperor's personal firearms battalion quickly moved in.  These key departments and military power were further controlled by Prince Gong's party.  Only Xishan Ruijianying is still in Mianyu's hands.

    Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the arrest of Sushun's remnants this time caused an even bigger fuss than when Sushun was overthrown.  Many Manchu and Mongolian nobles were involved, and many generals in the army were implicated. In fact, they were not members of the Sushun Party. Everyone found that these people were actually members of the Eastern Queen Mother.

    It was not until the morning court on the third day that things resumed. The atmosphere in the morning court was very depressing. Empress Dowager Ci'an did not attend the morning court. The news in the palace was that Empress Dowager Ci'an was ill.

    After the morning court, Mianyu took the initiative to ask for an audience, and Xingzhen summoned him in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

    Mian Yu entered the palace and knelt on the ground.  The Eight Banners relatives were very prestigious, and had been favored by Xianfeng before. Although Xingzhen didn't trust him very much, she didn't want to embarrass him too much, so she hurriedly got up and ordered Li Lianying to help Mianyu.

    Mian Yu refused to get up with a sad look on her face. She just raised her head and said: "Queen Mother, these are troubled times now, and there are foreign oppressions outside. It is understandable for the Queen Mother to punish the traitors, but Mian Yu has been coming to the house all day long to beg for mercy.  I am so troubled, please ask the Queen Mother to transfer me"

    Mianyu cried for a long time, and Xingzhen understood. Mianyu was the first person in the clan. Now many Manchu and Mongolian ministers were being questioned. His threshold was almost broken by the family members of these ministers. Those who asked for mercy were all  Tianwei stayed at the door of the house. Most of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles were related by relatives. Mianyu couldn't save face and it was difficult to break up. Of course, it was very troublesome.

    Xingzhen said after a few words of comfort: "Don't worry, the old prince. In this case, the old prince can go out on business for a while."

    At this moment, Prince Gong Yi? came in. He was holding a red brochure with urgent military information in his hand. He opened the door curtain and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, the British, French and foreign barbarians are besieging Tianjin very urgently. In the past few daysDuring the war, the Monk King tribe lost three to four thousand people every day. If this continues, I am afraid that they will all be exhausted in a few days"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Yi Wei slightly nodded to Mian Yu and continued: "The foreign barbarians have been attacking fiercely for several days, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, they have been fighting continuously, and the soldiers are quite tired. King Monk and Peng Yulin have been asking for reinforcements for days, hoping that a fresh army can go there.  Rescue.¡±

    Xingzhen pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is there any other troops and horses that Sakon can mobilize?"

    Yi? said in embarrassment: "Only the capital's troops and horses can be mobilized"

    Xingzhen also knew that this was the truth, but the capital city could not mobilize a large number of troops and horses at the moment. When she was in a dilemma, Mianyu suddenly said: "Queen Mother, there is also Xishan Ruijian Camp that can be mobilized."

    Yi? said in deep thought: "The soldiers of Xishan Ruijian Camp have a salary of over ten thousand, and most of them are green soldiers. They have been sparse for a long time. I'm afraid" The green soldiers of Xishan Ruijian Camp were not in Yi?'s calculations from the beginning.  However, because the troops and horses in this unit have been sparse for a long time, they really don't dare to use them.

    Mian Yu said: "It is true that the soldiers and horses of Ruijian camp have been separated from the battle formation for a long time, but now that the national crisis is looming, it is okay to pull them up to resist for a while. It can be a heroic scene."

    Xingzhen thought for a while and then said: "Let the old prince lead the troops." Mianyu immediately thanked the grace, but Yi? Seeing this, he didn't want to dissuade him, thinking to himself that this old boy brought more than 10,000 people with him.  It doesn't matter if people leave, it won't cause any trouble in the capital.

    Mianyu returned to the mansion after receiving the order, and immediately summoned his generals to prepare for the dispatch of troops. It was only in the evening that the work was completed.  After having a bowl of white fungus and snow pear porridge, Mian Yu was about to go to bed when suddenly an old housekeeper quietly came to report: "Master, someone from the palace is here." Mian Yu immediately ordered someone to take him into the study for a secret discussion.

    The visitor was dressed like a guard, but there was no beard on his face. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew he was a eunuch.  After exchanging pleasantries, Mianyu asked, "How is the Queen Mother?"

    The eunuch frowned and said: "It's not good. The Queen Mother was afraid that the bitch would use medicine to harm her, so she prepared all the medicines and food by herself. However, the medicines we prepared ourselves were incomplete. Several medicines were not found. It was because the Queen Mother's illness had not been found.  improvement."

    Mian Yu said with a sad face: "Do you remember those medicines? Write them down in a while, and I will prepare them and send them to the palace. You ask the Queen Mother to endure it for a few days, and then say that I am ready to provide them.  Once the troops leave the capital and meet up with Ronglu's troops, they will bring them back to rescue him."

    The eunuch also cried and said: "The Queen Mother has been hoping that the old prince can put things right as soon as possible. A few days ago, the incident happened. The Queen Mother regretted it and said frankly that she should not have listened to other people's words. She rashly made up an excuse and gave that person an excuse. As a result,  The good situation was ruined in one fell swoop.¡±

    Mianyu sighed and said, "It's not the fault of whoever came. That bitch was already ready to take action. Even if there was no Meridian Gate petition, she would have other ways to start it. But now, with this incident,  , this bitch has completely trusted me, and this departure from the capital is proof, and now is the time for me to show off my skills."

    The eunuch nodded in agreement, and then said: "The Queen Mother has an edict for this, please give it to the old prince. After the old prince arrives in Tianjin, he can announce the edict in public. The Queen Mother said that now, there is no need to hide anything anymore, just make it clear.  , it was done with open swords and clear guns.¡±

    Mian Yu took the edict and read it, then nodded and said: "After arriving in Tianjin, I will first fight for military power and unite with Hengfu and others. Once the time is right, I will join forces with the foreigners. Naturally, I will spread the message to the world, and  Please issue this edict to tell the world that it is difficult to defeat thieves in peace!"

    The eunuch was very happy and praised Mianyu a few words. After the conversation, Mianyu's housekeeper gave some medicine, and the eunuch took it and left the palace.

    After the eunuch left, Mianyu called the housekeeper and asked a doctor to come over and let him look at the medicine. After reading it, the doctor said: "These medicines together are probably used to treat strokes.  "

    After listening, Mian Yu frowned deeply. After retreating to the left and right, he meditated alone in the study. After a while, he turned around and knelt in front of the Buddhist niche in the study and prayed: "The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless the Queen Mother's health and bless you."  The fortunes of the Qing Dynasty were prosperous"

    On the third day, when all the troops and horses were ready, Mian Yu led more than 13,000 Xishan Ruijian Battalion soldiers and horses to Tianjin. They passed Tongzhou in a day and were only one day away from Tianjin.

    After camping that night, Hengfu and the local gentry came to work for the army with food and wine. Mianyu immediately summoned Hengfu.  After sending back the left and right sides, Hengfu said in a low voice: "Old prince, Qingjun, the capital of Chahar, has had a secret discussion with me. Due to the tight war situation recently, Seng Gelinqin's troops avoided fighting to protect themselves, so they sent more Chahar and others.  The soldiers immediately stepped forward to resist the Yi soldiers. Qingjun and others complained a lot, so Qingjun was willing to join us.???

    Mian Yu stroked his hand and said: "Chahar has more than 20,000 people plus Ronglu's troops, and we also have barbarian soldiers to help. This time the overall situation is decided!" (To be continued)
