Auxiliary king, above the princes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the "quid pro quo" offered by Cixi for "inheriting the pattern of Emperor Mu Zongyi's era", or in other words, Guan Zhuofan's proposal to "inherit the pattern of Emperor Mu Zongyi's era" - no matter how you interpret it.

Guan Zhuofan remembered that when the Xinyou coup d'état, when the "three murderers" of Sushun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua had just been captured, Cixi suggested that King Gong be given the title of "Auxiliary Political King". At that time, the situation of "hanging the curtain" had not yet been decided, and Cixi wanted to use the title of "auxiliary king" in exchange for King Gong's consent to the "hanging curtain" of the empress dowager of the two palaces.

However, the word "auxiliary government", although not as good as "regent", is still too public, and King Gong's side already has the draft of "Parliamentary King", and in the end, the transaction between the two sides was reached, but the "Auxiliary Monarch" was replaced by "Parliamentary King".

In addition, neither the "auxiliary king" nor the "council king" have a clear statement of "being above the princes".

Now, Guan Zhuofan is not only an "auxiliary king", but also "above the princes".

Auxiliary king, above the princes.

Guan Zhuofan read this sentence silently again in his heart.

My position is a head higher than when Gong Lao Liu was the most prosperous.

"Back to the Queen Mother," he said in a slightly frightened tone, "the title of 'Auxiliary Prince' is still unworthy of the ministers, and the title of 'Princes' is even more unacceptable." ”

"Whew!" Cixi waved her hand, "An 'auxiliary king', if you still say 'unacceptable', it doesn't make sense!" ”

After a pause, "With your merits and skills, it's not too much to be the 'regent'!" However, you are humble and refuse to fall into the hands of others, so you have no choice but to change to the 'auxiliary king' - this different 'regent', no one can gossip anymore! ”

There can be no more gossip - well, let me think about it......

"'Auxiliary Prince'—" continued Cixi, "not only do you deserve it, but—let me make it clear, this title is not only for you, but also for ...... For Liniul! ”

Also for Rong'an?

That's a bit interesting.

"Uh...... Please admonish the Queen Mother. ”

"Liniu'er has become the emperor," Cixi said, "and you are ...... 'imperial husband,' right?" ”

The royal husband?

"Uh...... Be. ”

"Although they are all princes," said Cixi, "but, since they are 'imperial husbands,' can't they be exactly like other princes?" Gotta...... What stands out? Right? ”

Hey, Sister Yu's talk is really a bit reasonable.

"This ......"

"You see, adding the name of 'Auxiliary King' doesn't this make you 'stand out'?"

Speaking of this, Cixi pursed her lips and smiled: "This is called ......'husband is more expensive than his wife'!" ”

Is a husband more expensive than a wife?

Guan Zhuofan was a little embarrassed.

"I'm kidding!" Cixi said with a smile, "However, the general meaning is good - you husband and wife are one, since Li Niu'er has become the emperor, you must be this 'auxiliary king'!" ”

After a pause, "As for 'sitting above the princes' - you are also the 'imperial husband' and the 'auxiliary king', so naturally you are 'above the princes'!" Isn't that a natural and natural thing to do? Who can say what mouth? What is there that you would never dare to do? ”

"This ......"

"Don't stop prevaricating!" Cixi said, "With the addition of the title of 'Auxiliary Prince' and the title of 'above the princes', you will be more handy in doing things, right?" ”

Guan Zhuofan hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, the minister requests that all the ceremonial notes of the 'Auxiliary Prince' are equivalent to Prince Heshuo, and no changes will be made." ”

The royal sister smiled: Okay, you agreed to be this "auxiliary king"!

"According to what I originally meant," said Cixi, "since the 'Auxiliary Prince' is 'above the princes,' the ritual note should be different—"

After a pause, "However, I also understand what you mean - you are afraid that when you greet the princes, some people will feel awkward!" Okay, then let's just follow your wishes, all the rituals of the 'Auxiliary Prince' are equivalent to Prince Heshuo, and no changes will be made. ”

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie."

"However," Cixi said, "when the time comes, the truth that should be said will still be explained - originally, the ceremony is to give grace to the 'Auxiliary King', but the 'Auxiliary King' is humble, and this ...... 'repeatedly'!" Our sister and son can't resist him, so we have to ...... For the time being, it will be as requested. ”

Ouch, so meticulous and thoughtful, more meticulous and thoughtful than I thought!

Moreover, it is very natural that the "sisters and sons" have been replaced by "sisters and sons".

This...... Alas!

"Yes, sir...... Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager. ”

"Of course," Cixi said with a smile, "I say these things alone, and I can't do a lot, and my sister must also approve of it, but my sister is the most sensible and must be in favor!" ”

Well, the suspicious, funny, "old-fashioned, timid and small" "Dongbianer" turned around gorgeously and became the "sister" who "understands things best".

The face became ...... It's a perfect fire.

In Cixi's view, "these things", of course, Ci'an is 100% in favor - if Rong'an is pro-government and the queen mother "withdraws the curtain", that is, the two queen mothers "remove the curtain" together, I "west" step down, and you "east" also have to step down, now, I have leveled Guan Zhuofan and maintained the pattern of "hanging the curtain", you can continue to stay on the stage, you are stained with my great light, how can you not "praise it"?

Taking a sip of tea, Cixi asked idly: "I think of something - the name of Sister Li, you ...... Is it ready? ”

Guan Zhuofan was slightly stunned and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, there is no matter of the heir emperor, and the matter has not yet been finalized, so naturally I can't talk about the emblem of the heir emperor's biological mother." ”

"Well, too. However, Sister Li's name, you have to put some thought into it and think of a good one. ”

"Yes."

Why are you so concerned about the "name" of the new queen mother......

"Originally, the emperor's biological mother," Cixi said in a deep voice, "I should be called the 'Queen Mother', I ......"

Oh, I see.

Speaking of this, Cixi smiled unnaturally, "I will change my name and give her the 'Holy Mother and Queen Mother', which is also the ......."

Guan Zhuofan hurriedly said: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? The Queen Mother's honorific title of 'Our Lady Queen Mother' is not easy for eternity! ”

After a pause, "The minister thinks that Concubine Ligui has entered the queen mother, and there should be a 'Li' word in the emblem." ”

Now, you should rest assured.

Cixi's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Okay!" Sister Li is a big beauty, this 'Li' word should have stayed! ”

Belch......

"'Li' - of course is the second word," Cixi was full of interest, "the first word ...... 'duan', do you think about it?" 'Duanli', 'Duanli' - dignified and beautiful! ”

"This ......"

"I'll just say it casually," Cixi said with a smile, "just listen to it, the name or something, that's a matter of the cabinet, and what I said doesn't count—I don't understand." ”

Guan Zhuofan was quite embarrassed, he couldn't respond "yes", otherwise he would admit Cixi's "I don't understand either", so he had to owe himself and didn't speak.

In fact, when Concubine Ligui ascended to the queen mother, nine times out of ten, she would take "Cili" as her emblem.

Cixi is so concerned about the name of the new queen mother, Guan Zhuofan is like a mirror in her heart, and the royal sister's words are actually one meaning: Don't come to rob my "Queen Mother"!

However, there is one thing that Cixi did not notice: Guan Zhuofan was talking about the "emblem", not the "name" she said, and the "Empress Dowager" is the "honorific title" exclusive to the emperor's biological mother, but it is not the "emblem", her "emblem" is "Empress Dowager Cixi".

In fact, no matter what the new queen mother's emblem is, "Duanli Empress Dowager" or "Empress Dowager Cili" does not correspond to her "Queen Mother", but corresponds to her "Empress Dowager Cixi".

That is to say, there is no inevitable connection between whether there is the word "Li" in the emblem of the new Queen Mother and whether the new Queen Mother will come to grab the "honorific title" of the "Queen Mother".

What the name of the new Empress Dowager is not what Guan Zhuofan really cares about, in fact, he has never thought of moving Cixi's "Holy Mother Empress Dowager", and even the idea of using it as a bargaining chip has never been born, first, there is no need for this; Second, if he really does this, he will be too inferior, and he will have done enough.

What he is thinking now is that if he really "inherits the pattern of Emperor Mu Zongyi's era", after the yellow curtain of the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the three queen mothers are lined up one by one, this scene is spectacular enough.

Guan Zhuofan admits that this scene has an inexplicable attraction for him.

Alas, I'm really funny.

Coincidentally, at this moment, what came to Cixi's mind was also the spectacular scene of "three queen mothers, lined up", but her focus was very different from Guan Zhuofan:

In the future, the pattern of "hanging the curtain" was added to Concubine Li's in--when Cixi thought of Concubine Ligui in her heart, she was all silently "Concubine Li" - the original "two palaces and respect" became "three palaces and respect", and his position was moved to the left, and it seemed that not only did the "east" protrude out and become the real "middle palace", but the highest power of the empire, held in her own hands, has also changed from half of the original to one-third.

But—what does Concubine Li know!

Speaking of national politics, I'm afraid she is even more ignorant than the "east"!

Moreover, Concubine Li's temperament is not only gentle and graceful, subservient to others, but also very self-aware.

It was Wenzong's favor that year, transferred from himself to Concubine Li, in the final analysis, it was also "made" by himself, not "taken" by Concubine Li - anyway, he has a lot of eyeliner in the palace, but whether before or after falling out of favor, I have never heard Concubine Li say a bad word about herself.

Therefore, even if Concubine Li is added, "the three palaces are respected", she must be a ...... to me, my "sister" Only promises, the head of the horse is looking forward! The one who really grasps the idea and counts the word must still be himself! How much power did you have before, and how much you will still have in the future - in the past, in fact, it was not more than "half", and in the future, it will not become any "third"!

The only thing to worry about is that if she has a disagreement with the "East Side", although Concubine Li has no idea of her own, most of them will stand on the side of the "East Side", then it will not be the previous "one-to-one", but "one-to-two", and she will suffer!

"East Side" is not smart, but sometimes, he still has his own ideas.

Therefore, the most important thing about this "three palaces and respecting" is to settle the "east side"!

Settle her, Concubine Li, the follower, will be easy to do!

While discussing in his heart, he said to Guan Zhuofan: "These things, you should first get a foundation at your sister's place...... Good no good? ”

"This ......"

"I know that there are some things that you can't say yourself—it's not good for you to give yourself the title of 'Auxiliary King'? But it doesn't matter, it's all said that I meant it - it was originally my intention. Yourself, don't have to ...... Position. You see, if you do this, will it succeed? ”

After a pause, there was a hint of pleading in his tone, "This is a ...... Fight for me, can you succeed? ”

Cixi wants Guan Zhuofan to be introduced to Ci'an, and the main purpose is that when the two meet, Ci'an's main attention will not be on her and Guan Zhuofan's personal relationship, let alone catch it-she and him, even the child was born, with a big braid, in the hands of "Dongbianer"!

Originally, Cixi had a considerable psychological advantage over Ci'an, but now the situation is reversed, and when she thinks of the upcoming meeting, she can't help but feel "timid".

Guan Zhuofan finally agreed: "Yes, the minister will do it hard." ”

Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's hard for you!" ”

After a pause, "That'...... When is my sister coming? ”

"The minister first went to ask the queen mother for the queen mother's instructions, and the preliminary decision was ...... The morning after tomorrow, let's start at the beginning of the morning. ”
