Before sunset, the Queen Mother said goodbye to the Queen Mother and returned to her palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause tomorrow morning, the Queen Mother and Queen Mother will return to Luan Beijing, so the two sides will say goodbye from now on.

Guan Zhuofan said that when the "one-year period" has arrived, he will go to Tianjin again to welcome the Queen Mother back to Luan. The emperor will enshrine the two empress dowagers in Beijing, the "three palaces" to Beijing Zhengyangmen Railway Station, to welcome the Queen Mother, and then, the "four palaces" return to the Forbidden City.

The emperor served the queen mother, and went to the place where the people from afar came to greet him, this etiquette specification, so high that it could not be increased, since the founding of this dynasty, there is no one, and the twenty-four histories are examined, and I don't know if there is a precedent?

The last time, the Empress Dowager Mary returned to Luan from Tianjin, and it was Emperor Mu Zongyi who greeted her in front of the noon gate at the Empress Dowager of His Mother.

Cixi was surprised, her heart fluctuated, and she was calm on the surface, and said: "How can I afford to walk so far for Sister Lao and Sister Li?" ”

"Not far," said Ci'an, "but just out of the inner city—after leaving the palace, the kung fu will be there in a moment!" ”

After a slight pause, "Don't be humble - you can't afford it, no one in the world can afford it!" ”

Cixi glanced at Guan Zhuofan, he was bowing his head slightly, and the eyes of the two did not intersect.

"Then ......," said Cixi, "it's hard for Sister Li and Sister Li." ”

After a pause, he added, "The emperor is also hard. ”

Since the edict of establishing Princess Rong'an as the heir of the emperor has been sealed, although the heir emperor has not yet officially ascended the throne, since the moment Cixi lifted the jade seal of "Tongdaotang" from the manuscript, Princess Rong'an is not "Princess Rong'an", but "emperor", and it is "today".

"Huh," said Tzu An, "what does she have to work for?" Isn't it natural for a daughter to greet her mother? ”

This sentence was very appropriate in Cixi's heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay, let's ...... See you then. ”

"Well, I'll see you then."

Say goodbye.

Ci'an, Qifujin, and Guan Zhuofan boarded the car one after another, and the guards shouted "Get up!" The wheels, one after another, drove out of the Guangang Palace.

In this process, Cixi and Guan Zhuofan consciously avoided each other's eyes and never looked at each other again.

I know that after more than a month, I will "see you then", but why do I still feel that this parting is like an eternal separation?

*

The next day, Tianjin Dagu Railway Station.

The whistle sounded, and the special car of the Queen Mother and Queen Mother to Luan, spitting out thick smoke, started slowly, faster and faster.

The sun is shining, looking out of the carriage, the scenery outside the window is speeding by, one after another, clear and vivid.

Guan Zhuofan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He finally got the piece of the puzzle.

His ambition is complete.

Before coming to Tianjin, to tell the truth, Guan Zhuofan was not 100% confident that he could get this piece of the puzzle, but now, God has fulfilled his wishes, and everything is complete.

He should increase the amount with his hands.

At this moment, he is the real first person in this huge empire, and it seems that he is ...... There's nothing out of his grasp anymore.

His ideals, his ambitions, picturesque, are beckoning to him not far away.

At this time, it should be excited, heartbeat, and feverish.

But—

Outside the carriage, the sun is shining, why, there is a faint chill around me?

Is it just "unbearable in high places"?

How to say it, it seems to ...... It was as if his soul had detached from his body, hovering on a high place, looking down at this body that should have been extremely familiar, but in the bottom of his heart, he felt ...... Strange, feel ...... There was a faint chill.

I don't seem to have become the "worst, most poisonous" me - no, in fact, I've reached the "worst, most poisonous" position, it's just that heaven and man are at war, repeatedly twisting and turning, and finally, I feel ...... Well, it seems that the heat is still a little bit underwhelming, so, from that position, a small step back.

That's all.

Alas-

Actually, it wasn't like I wanted to get to that position from the beginning.

Guan Zhuofan once had such a fantasy: on the one hand, he relied on Cixi's support to realize his ultimate ideals, and on the other hand, he used the means of "redemption" to guide Cixi to gradually decentralize power and finally withdraw from the political center.

He once thought that he was only one step away from realizing this fantasy, but reality inexorably proved that fantasy is always fantasy.

What dealt a fatal blow to this fantasy was the case of An Dehai.

Cixi's reaction to the Lu family was completely unexpected by Guan Zhuofan.

He once thought that his relationship with the Lu family would not harm Cixi's interests - he raised a woman outside, which did not mean that his personal relationship with Cixi would change in any way! Emotionally, I am not, and cannot be, single-minded and unintentional, in Shanghai, the United States, I already have several women, and in the future, I will marry a wife - these are all known to Cixi, and I have already accepted it!

Also, Cixi's generosity towards Concubine Ligui's mother and daughter also proves that she is not a "jealous" woman.

As it turned out, he was wrong.

He compared the relationship between Cixi and Concubine Ligui to the relationship between her and the Lu family, which was wrong - not because of the difference in identity, but - the man who Cixi and Concubine Ligui competed for is no longer there, there is no competition between the two of them, and Concubine Ligui no longer poses any threat to Cixi, so Cixi can be so generous - if Wenzong is still there, how can Cixi be so generous?

She may not be a "jealous" woman, but she must be a normal woman - the feelings that a normal woman should have and will have - including jealousy, she has it.

Guan Zhuofan has women in Shanghai and the United States, but, first, those women are not only a fait accompli, but they have all passed the clear road, and they can't be jealous; Second, Shanghai and the United States are far away, and Guan Zhuofan is alone, and he can't easily reach it, the so-called ...... Well, out of sight, out of mind.

Lu's is different!

First, when Cixi knew about this person, she and Guan Zhuofan were not "fait accompli"; Second, she is in Beijing, under the nose of Cixi!

The most important thing is that Guan Zhuofan's "acceptance" of the Lu family was something that happened after Cixi clearly warned him.

Moreover, Cixi's warning was not only out of jealousy, but also sincerely good to Guan Zhuofan - that woman "Kefu"! Which of the men she has touched has a good end? Chen Yucheng, Sheng Bao, Dexing A...... No exceptions!

Not only do you treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, but you also deceive you!

It's really unbearable!

Guan Zhuofan sadly found that if it was just the emotional entanglement between men and women, the key was that between him and Cixi, no matter what, could not erase the words "the difference between monarchs and ministers", and could not cross the distinct and unfathomable gap between monarchs and ministers.

No matter how deep the "curtain is", the king is still the king, and the minister is still the minister.

His own great feats of "helping the crisis and leaning down" are still hot, and there are no mistakes in official affairs, saying that he will turn his face, and he will be deposed from the Hongde Palace, and he knows that the dethronement of the Hongde Hall is just a warning, if he does not change his course, lower his mind, and more severe punishments will come one after another.

Damn, all this is just because Lao Tzu raised a woman!

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.

The courtier's honor and disgrace are only in the king's thoughts.

Under the mixed of shock and anger, Guan Zhuofan even had the idea of rebellion.

After weighing it repeatedly, I finally endured it.

First, the situation is not so bad that it necessitates rebellion.

Second, the rebellion at that time was not completely successful.

Third, even if it succeeds in the end, when will the country recover from the chaos that will cause the old wounds to heal, and new wounds will be added, and the wounds will be added to the wounds? If so, not only have all the previous efforts been put to waste, but the wolves are all around, if they take advantage of the situation again, when will my motherland and my nation be able to rise again? When will my ideals and ambitions be realized?

Moreover, the "great chaos" is inevitable, and to what extent the "great chaos" will be, but it cannot be controlled, and how many things will eventually get out of control, let alone predict! If the country is torn apart and can no longer be brought together, I ...... Am I not a sinner through the ages?

Then I crossed over, so what?!

Guan Zhuofan finally chose forbearance and submission.

However, when he knelt in front of the queen mother of the two palaces and cried loudly, the bitter humiliation had already made him secretly determined: This pattern of monarchs and ministers must be changed!

My destiny must be in my own hands!

China's destiny must be in my hands!
