Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhongcui Palace is located to the west of Jingyang Palace and to the north of Qiang Palace. Zhongcui is the same as Zhongcui. In ancient times, it meant gathering the best. This place was originally the palace where Emperor Xianfeng was the prince. Later, Empress Dowager Ci'an moved in.  Since entering the palace, Ci'an has been living in Zhongcui Palace.  ¡Ø.2

    Zhongcui Palace has a second entrance, with the main entrance facing south, named Zhongcui Gate. The main hall in the front yard is Zhongcui Palace, with a width of 5 rooms, a mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles, a front corridor, and 5 animals placed on the eaves.  It is decorated with a single-upturned, single-raised, five-legged bracket and painted in Soviet style.  The once magnificent Zhongcui Palace was now filled with Qing court guards on the three inner and outer floors.

    Xingzhen¡¯s Luan Jia went all the way to Zhongcui Palace. Since the martial law began in the capital, Zhongcui Palace has been heavily guarded by Yiyi, who is also the minister of bodyguards. No one can enter or leave Zhongcui Palace without Xingzhen¡¯s handwriting.

    Entering the Zhongcui Palace, there is a plaque inscribed by Emperor Qianlong hanging in the bright room, "Shu Shen Wen". Ci'an is lying on the soft couch behind the screen. No one informs her, so Xingzhen leads the people behind the screen.

    Imperial physician Huang Jingci was diagnosing Ci'an's pulse. When Ci'an saw Xingzhen enter, her eyebrows immediately stood up and she stared at Xingzhen with a pair of phoenix eyes.  Xingzhen smiled, didn't salute, and didn't care. She just asked Huang Jingci, "How is your condition?"

    Huang Jingci stood up and saluted, then bowed and said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, your condition may relapse. It is best to rest peacefully and not to work any more."

    ??

    Ci'an closed his eyes and turned away to ignore her. Xingzhen didn't feel dissatisfied, and continued: "Sister, if she is sick, she should rest peacefully. Why bother fussing around when she has nothing to do? Sister Hui must have put a lot of thought into this matter.  . It¡¯s a pity that although Prince Hui led his troops to leave Beijing, he failed to fight back.¡±

    Ci'an still didn't say a word, Xingzhen smiled and continued: "That's fine, I don't have to worry about anything. Thanks to sister, you are provoking me behind the scenes, so I can see clearly who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister.  It saves my little sister the trouble of trying to find out their charges."

    At this time, Ci'an couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes and glared angrily: "Yehenala, do you think you and Guiziliu can cover the sky with just one hand? One day, God will retaliate!"

    Xingzhen shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about? My little sister is protecting the ancestral country for the late emperor. Those who block my plan are obstacles and must be moved away! God!  Retribution? It seems that God is on my sister¡¯s side."

    Xingzhen took two steps and continued: "If our court is to be saved, it must implement Western affairs and change the old laws. Those old people and young people who are stubborn will be eliminated sooner or later. We Manchus are always a minority. In this world, we do not rely on the Han people, but on the Han people."  Who is going? It¡¯s ridiculous that Prince Hui and the others always blame me for using the Han people too much. Sister, don¡¯t you know that this time it was only the troops of the Han people and Han generals that blocked the troops of the British, French, foreign barbarians and Prince Hui.  "

    Ci'an said indignantly: "You are a fox, you have no shame. Lao Liu and Lao Qi were so fascinated by you two sisters that they didn't even know that they were Manchus!"

    ???

    Ci'an snorted and said, "Why are you here today? Do you just want to humiliate me?"

    Xingzhen shook her head and said, "How could my little sister have such thoughts? My main purpose is to check on my sister's condition. My sister still needs to take good care of herself. I promised the late emperor that I will not embarrass my sister no matter what."

    Ci'an said coldly: "Put away your false compassion. It's a shame that the late emperor didn't leave any edict for me to treat you, a little bitch, otherwise how could you be so free?"

    Xingzhen laughed.  He said slowly: "When the late emperor passed away, he trusted me more. Just like my sister trusted me at that time, how could she leave any legacy?"

    Ci'an came over with compassion and said with tears in her eyes: "When the late emperor passed away, you were allowed to go in first, and then I was summoned. At that time, the late emperor told me that Yehenala was of pure character and intelligent, and could serve for  Rely on, it seems that both the late emperor and I have made a mistake!"

    Xingzhen sighed, took out her embroidered handkerchief and wiped away Ci'an's tears and said, "Sister, take care of yourself. Actually, if you think about it, is there anything that little sister has done that could endanger the Qing Dynasty? Those princes and nobles usually have nothing to do.  You can't share the country's worries, and in the end, you will be against you everywhere. The burden handed down by the late emperor is already terminally ill, and it cannot be saved without strong medicine."

    Ci'an turned his head and ignored her. Xingzhen hummed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things. My little sister is here to pay her back today."one thing.  "As he spoke, he took out an imperial edict from his arms and continued: "My little sister knows that Prince Hui, Ronglu and other rebellious ministers and traitors are causing trouble. It is a false edict, not what my sister meant, so I have written an edict here to prepare for the announcement.  The world needs to set its sights. Sister, take a look, and then we can jointly issue this edict.  "

    Ci'an didn't even look at the edict and knocked it to the ground: "Prince Hui and the others are doing things according to my order. They are here to attack you and Guiziliu. You two adulterers and adulterers."  Just wait and die!¡±

    Xingzhen's face darkened and she sneered: "Sister, I don't know what to say to you. You have been following the late emperor for so many years, but you are still so careless. Since the elder sister has told the younger sister so clearly, the younger sister has no choice but to take matters into her own hands.  "After saying that, he reached out and took out a brocade bag from Ci'an's arms. Ci'an was shocked and wanted to grab it, but Xingzhen pushed it away easily.

    Ci'an's long-sick body was no match for Xingzhen, and she immediately snatched away the brocade bag. Xingzhen stepped back a few steps and took out the royal seal given to Ci'an by Xianfeng.  He said with a faint smile: "Originally, there was no need for your royal seal, sister. Now it will take effect once the imperial seal of my palace and Zaichun's seal are stamped. However, the main purpose of this edict is to make Prince Hui and the others lose their power."  Because of my righteousness, I have to use your royal seal."

    Ci'an struggled to climb out of bed, trying hard to grab Xingzhen's feet, and said weakly: "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

    Xingzhen knelt down and said slowly: "Sister, Prince Hui and the others have made enough trouble outside. It's time for them to wake up. In fact, I have always known what you are planning, and you have given me a chance.  If my sister could have listened to the advice at that time, take good care of her health, and ignore these things, she wouldn't have gotten into such a mess."

    After saying that, Xingzhen stood up slowly and said: "Sister, the ground is cold, you'd better go back to the bed. I will naturally return this royal seal to you after using it. After all, this is a memory gift left by the late emperor to my sister.  Isn't it? Now this royal seal can only be remembered, hahaha" Amid laughter, Xingzhen shook off Ci'an's hand and walked out slowly.

    After a while, several eunuchs and maids came in and helped Ci'an to the soft couch. Ci'an's face turned red, he was panting and sweating, and several eunuchs hurriedly invited Huang Jingci to come in.

    After the visit, Huang Jingci just gave a few instructions, and then ordered his adopted daughter Cheng Lingxiu to give Ci'an a few injections, and then Ci'an fell asleep peacefully.  After Cheng Lingxiu finished applying the acupuncture, she silently put away the acupuncture items and exited together with Huang Jingci.

    Huang Jingci looked at the unhappy Cheng Lingxiu and asked, "What? Is there anything unhappy about you?"

    Cheng Lingxiu said sadly: "Father, was the Empress Dowager the instigator of Brother Li's murder?"

    Huang Jingci was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly: "I have also heard about Li Ding's matter. Although the Queen Mother Dong didn't know much about it, she couldn't escape her involvement. What? After you found out about this matter,  , don¡¯t want to heal her anymore?¡±

    Cheng Lingxiu slowly shook her head and said: "No, I will treat her more carefully. Seeing her like this, living is a kind of torture. I will let her live for a long, long time"

    After Xingzhen took the imperial seal, she stamped the imperial seal on the edict that day, and then spread the edict to the world. In this edict, Xingzhen wrote it in a Ci'an tone, directly reprimanding Mianyu and Ronglu.  Others corrected the edict and called on the rebels to lay down their weapons and surrender to the court. They only asked the chief offender and not the threat.

    In fact, from the beginning, the plan of Mian Yu, Ronglu and others was to quickly conquer the capital after joining forces with the foreigners. As long as the capital was conquered, they would no longer be affected by the righteousness, and they also knew that sooner or later there would be a plan.  One day, at that time, whoever controls the capital will be able to occupy the legal and righteous position.  But they did not expect that the British and French forces would be blocked in Tongzhou. Then the Taiping Army joined in, which dashed their dream of quickly attacking the capital. Then the situation would become unfavorable to the rebels. After all, Cian was still trapped in the capital.  Sooner or later, the Queen Mother will definitely use her to make an issue.

    From the moment Xingzhen knew that someone in the court wanted to deal with her, she began to make plans. From Li Ding's death to letting Ronglu leave the capital, from using the Meridian Gate petition to attack dissidents in the capital to letting Mianyu leave the capital, Xingzhen was  She has been planning to bring all those who oppose her to the surface, and then she can be dealt with in one fell swoop. At the same time, she has even plotted to bring in the King of the West. Now the Taiping Army outside the capital has indeed made the situation more complicated.  Xingzhen, on the other hand, is still doing her own thing step by step. She is ready to start closing the net. First, she will make those rebels lose their excuse in the name of justice, and then they will divide and disintegrate. What she has to deal with are Mianyu, Ronglu and others.  People, and she can let go of those soldiers who were forced to obey.

    After dealing with the threat from the rebels, Xingzhen¡¯s next goal was to provoke Britain and France to go to war with the Taiping Army, which she had planned early on.

    Returning to Chuxiu Palace,After Zhenzhen issued the edict, she felt very relaxed and happy. After taking a nap, she got up and continued to review the memorial. At this time, Cheng Lingxiu asked to see her.

    Cheng Lingxiu came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Bai Zetang of the Taiping Army in the city."

    Xingzhen nodded slightly. Cheng Lingxiu had been acting as her messenger to communicate with the Taiping Army. She also sent this kind of letter in person. At that moment, Xingzhen opened the letter and read it. She saw that it was an autographed letter from Xiao Yungui.  A few words: "Find a time to meet and discuss in detail!"
