XXVII. The Martyrs Survive Forever (Middle)
The Queen Mother is also sympathetic to our family, and asked the Ministry to give me an official body, on an errand in the Prime Minister's Yamen, not many errands, very idle, and now I am filial piety in front of me, and the second brother Jiuquan has knowledge, knowing that his vigorous things have spread all over Sijiu City, "The man has tears in the corners of his eyes, and he also misses the second brother who is lively and high-profile," he will definitely smile. ”
The old man sat silent for a long time before he said, "Hmph, is the yamen who deals with foreign devils stupid?" ”
His eldest son hurriedly accepted Qi Rong, "This matter is written by the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion of the Ministry of War, which is not unusual, but a relative of one of my son's colleagues is a guard in the palace, and I vaguely heard that the king of parliament is going to go with him, and we don't want that dignity, if it is in case, in case the name of the second brother is hung there, we are happy to see it, and the second brother is also very happy?" ”
The old man sighed, his face full of gloomy, "That's it, that's it, since it's an official matter, let's go for a trip, otherwise you will be on an errand in the future, hey, when the Qingming Festival arrives, your second brother's grave will also go to pay respects, so let's rush together." ”
On March 3, the Qingming Festival, the Chunjun Emperor paid tribute to the funeral place of Emperor Wenzong.
On March 4th, the early spring of Xiangshan is far less lively than the autumn, the drizzle of the previous days made the mountains full of grass and trees, and the mountains were full of clouds and mist like a fairyland.
From the banner at the foot of the mountain to the wind, dancing fiercely, neatly dressed, brightly armored Eight Banner soldiers stood proudly on both sides of the wide white marble steps, a little eunuch in gray carried the hem of the clothes neatly walked towards the Xiangshan, passed through the three white marble archways, and clapped his hands towards a eunuch waiting at the bottom of the archway, "Come on, come on." ”
The eunuch hurriedly turned around and walked through the archway, and walked the road again, and arrived in front of the palace gate of Jingyi Garden, where there was already a bunch of people in Wuyang, and the eunuch bypassed the crowd and arrived on the steps at the gate of Jingyi Garden. Kneeling down and beating thousands, "Seventh Prince, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor's Holy Driver will arrive soon." ”
The eunuch's voice was sharp, and it spread far and wide, and in an instant, it was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, setting off a thousand waves. The originally silent crowd buzzed, and everyone was dumbfounded. Then the conversation began.
The old woman from Xiangtan County couldn't believe that she clung to her son, both of them wore their best clothes, this dress was still made of cloth that he had pulled back from a sheep more than ten years ago, and he had not been willing to wear it, and he was only on his body today, the old woman was small feet, and her legs and feet were sore after standing for half a morning, but she didn't expect to hear the voice of the eunuch. I vaguely heard that it was the queen mother and the emperor who were coming, and the woman who had only seen the elder in the countryside of Hunan suddenly had a very fast heartbeat, "San'er, what did that official master say?" The Queen Mother is coming? ”
The third son stretched his neck and desperately supported his mother towards the source of the avenue, "Now there is already a prince here." Why did the Queen Mother and the Emperor come here to see us mud legs? San'er turned his head suddenly, the young prince on the steps, the prince nodded, and said a few words to an official man with a chicken embroidered on his chest on the side, the official nodded and turned around. Facing the people at the bottom of the steps, he shouted, "Everyone is silent! Remember etiquette, losing your honor in front of the emperor is not a joke! ”
A woman standing at the head of the class with a haggard face, a woman in full command with a little girl in her teens, calmly asked if there was a problem with the crown of her skirt and sleeves, and then quietly looked at the girl with a calm face standing next to her. "Eldest sister, just follow me later, understand?"
The girl's face was a little sad, like a jade with a little haze, and she wore a white beaded flower on her sideburns, and when she heard the woman's words, she nodded, "Yes, my daughter knows." ”
There was a gong sound in the distance, it was already noon, the sun of early spring shone warmly among the verdant mountains, a pair of soldiers of the Eight Banners Guard Battalion strode with the dragon flag, and then a pair of eunuchs behind him held the dust incense burner Ruyi jade basin and other things to go, and then the queen mother sixteen people carried the golden phoenix sedan chair, and so on to the gong sounded again, the king of Chunjun, who was standing on the flat ground, hurriedly threw his sleeves and knelt down, and the official of the Ministry of Rites also shouted: "Kneel, worship!" ”
The figures who were divided into two groups in front of the gate of the palace hurriedly knelt down, and the voices sounded one after another, "I respectfully ask the Empress Dowager Jin An to be in peace with the Emperor." ”
One by one, the handsome and arrogant red-clothed eunuchs crossed the line and looked around at everyone, "In accordance with the Empress Dowager's mercy, do not kneel and bow, get up!" ”
King Chun Alcohol stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and waited in front of the door, the golden phoenix sedan chair stopped, An Dehai hurriedly rolled up the sedan curtain, and the queen mother took a deep breath and lifted her feet out of the sedan chair.
The queen mother of Chunchu County saw that the queen mother was wearing a navy blue five-dragon regiment supplement uniform, wearing a crown, holding a yellow Luo umbrella on her head, and followed the Tongzhi Emperor to get off the sedan chair, stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand, and held the emperor's hand with her backhand, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
The eunuchs who originally served on both sides and knew the etiquette of the eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to know where Tianwei was, and they did not dare to have more young people who were very excited, lowered their heads, raised their heads and hurriedly stole them, so that they could boast in the future.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Rites were almost scattered, and one by one they whispered warnings on the side of the crowd, and the Empress Dowager Cixi did not think it was wrong, she looked around everyone with a smile, and saw that the King of Chunjun and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites Quanqing and the Secretary of the Military Department Chen Fuen greeted them, none of the military planes came, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, and then Su Zhan, "Why hasn't the King of Parliament arrived?" ”
"When the Russian ambassador entered the DPRK, his words were a little unhappy, and the sixth brother was trapped in Tongzhou."
The Empress Dowager Cicixi was noncommittal, walked to the main gate of Jingyi Garden, looked up and saw that the plaque that originally said Jingyi Garden was covered with red silk cloth, her expression became solemn, and she said to Emperor Tongzhi, who was also wearing a navy blue court dress, "Emperor, give an edict." ”
"Yes, Huang Eniang." Emperor Tongzhi turned around and instructed Quanqing, "Quanqing, you come to read the will." ”
"Yes," Quan Qing took a yellow cloth from the hand of the military machine Zhang Jing and shouted to the people in the square, "There is a will!" ”
"Kneel!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Fu Weiguo Dynasty Dingding, saints successively, relying on the merits of all the soldiers, the labor of the people, there are long-haired rebels in front of them, and there are foreigners raging in the back, endangering China, ruining the lives of the people, I am sad, fortunately there are countless righteous people, the soldiers use their lives, the people assist, only to get the golden Ou unharmed, when the first emperor was there, he repeatedly told that the heroic soul is immortal, the heroic soul is not far away, and it must be sacrificed, with the soul of the whole China, the meaning of eternal immortality, the Empress Dowager's mercy, build a loyal martyr's shrine to show the sacrifice of the loyal soul, admire this."
