23. Cixi Ci'an (middle)

Yehenara's injury did not heal, and he couldn't pull the Niu Hulu clan who was kneeling on the ground, so he motioned to Feng Wanzhen and An Qian to pull the Niu Hulu clan up together, "What are you doing, this palace knows in my heart, it's not your fault, sit down and wash your face, let's sisters talk well," Niu Hulu and Yehenala sat up left and right, "This was Su Shun's trick, in order to snatch the imperial reward medal from the emperor, but I have to say that this is also what the emperor meant," Xingzhen's heart was slightly bitter, The emperor and Concubine Zhen are also really affectionate, a large part of this situation is actually caused by themselves, since they have the power of Zhu Pen, they are rarely with the emperor, "The emperor likes you, and he has done his duty as a concubine in the past, you can afford this queen mother!" ”

"What's more, the words of the Son of Heaven are as heavy as Mount Tai, since they have been made clear in the world, this is also a matter of ironclad," Xingzhen said to Niu Hulu, "You were originally the old man of the first emperor's palace, your virtue is precious, and you have helped the palace to take care of the affairs of the six palaces for many years, from now on, this queen mother is not easy to be, sister, you listen," Niu Hulu stopped crying and quickly stood up, "Sit down, the palace will hang the curtain and listen to the government, this day I am afraid that it will be the same as the first emperor, every day to see the military plane, it is not empty, the things of the six palaces." , I'll explain it to you, and the most important thing is the emperor's business, our first emperor is such a lone seedling, I don't know how many people inside and outside the palace are staring, thinking about making bad thoughts, the emperor's affairs in the future, I will take care of the outside court, the inner court, you must give it to me! ”

"Yes, the concubines must do their best, and they must take care of the emperor, so that the queen mother has no worries!" Niu Hulu hurriedly spoke.

Between the three words, this set the pattern of the harem in the Tongzhi Dynasty, Niu Hulu is in charge of the affairs of the harem concubines and the internal affairs of the house, and the Yehenala clan is in charge of the government, as soon as the news comes out, everyone in the government and the opposition admires the generosity of the Yehenala clan, that is, some people have some different hearts in their hearts. Also quietly silenced under the general trend, on this day the cabinet drafted the emblems of the two queen mothers and the will of the concubines and concubines to present to the Yehenala clan Henara clan opened a poem to seal the empress dowager's emblem in the will to write two emblems, one is "Ci'an", the other is written "Cixi", Prince Gong bowed at the bottom: "Please the will of the queen mother." Two emblems, the one in front is for the Queen Mother. The one at the back is for the Empress Dowager Zhong Cui Palace. ”

Yehenala circled the word "Cixi", "No need, this palace likes this Xi character, this is for this palace, and the word Ci'an is for Zhong Cuigong's sister." ”

This is a trivial matter, and it is said in the "Sayings": "Jubilee, Liji." "Originally, it was a very festive name, and it is normal for the Queen Mother to like auspicious names. Prince Gong responded, and from then on, the Yehenara clan can be called the Empress Dowager Cixi or the Empress Dowager, and because the Empress Dowager Cixi lives in the west of the Forbidden City, it can also be called the "Empress Dowager of the West", and the Niu Hulu clan of Zhongcui Palace can be called the "Empress Dowager Ci'an" or "Empress Dowager of the East", during the Tongzhi period. There is a nursery rhyme cloud in the capital: "East is west, west is east, the sun comes out in the west, and the west wind presses the east wind." ”

The queen mother and the queen mother set her own emblem, and spread out the rules of Emperor Wenzong's harem, and saw that the Li Concubine headed by the emperor was honored as the emperor, and the concubine was honored as the imperial concubine, and the concubine was the concubine Yun...... The name of the concubine. The Queen Mother was slightly displeased, thought for a while, and said to Prince Gong, "Sixth Master, the position of Concubine Yun can still be considered." ”

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear."

When Su Shun was rude to the emperor in Miyun, Yun Concubine stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Su Shun and other ministers. The palace is very grateful, the emperor also means this, meritorious people, naturally they should be rewarded, and Wu Yundi has a lot of help, why don't you add another level, how about being honored as the emperor's concubine? ”

"Yes."

"Then wait for the emperor's enthronement ceremony."

On the first day of October, the emperor issued an edict to honor the Empress Dowager Cixi as the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager as the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

No one knows that the title of "Cixi", which ran through the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, made people in China hate it to the bone, and the Western powers were eager to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin, began today, began with Yehnara herself, and from today on, the title of "Cixi" has been with her forever, and will be famous for centuries? Or is it a stench for 10,000 years? The people who live in the present do not think about these issues now, and now, there is only one major event, more important than the rebellion in the south, and that is the enthronement ceremony of the emperor.

On the ninth day of October, the eight-year-old emperor in the support of the imperial ministers, in the Taihe Palace, performed a great ceremony, followed by the longevity of the Empress Dowager Cixi, just after the happy events, the bureaucrats who were suppressed and excluded by the Sushun faction reinstated the crown to celebrate, and the yamen sent the old and welcomed the new, and it was very lively.

Most of the courtiers of this dynasty are arranged by King Gong. For this big transfer, he and Wen Xiang and others, painstakingly, the party is the same and different, the faint factions, to be appeased one by one, and the Qing discussion can not be ignored, let alone the talent, in addition to these, King Gong also has a layer of selfishness that only he and a very small number of henchmen know, before the curtain is settled, he must first establish his own power.

The Maharaja and the Ninth Minister of the Sixth Ministry, Han Zhan Kedao, had already held several meetings in the Cabinet in order to propose the "Hanging Curtain Charter". Undoubtedly, this is a major event of the number one in the world, and no one dares to speak rashly, so the progress of the meeting is extremely slow, and even because of excessive weight, the atmosphere in the audience is quite dull. But in private, the three numbers are friendly, the study is clear, the situation is completely different, quoting scriptures, refuting each other, and many profound insights are revealed between what they see and what they see, and the similarities and differences are revealed.

King Gong and his henchmen attach importance to these more frank discussions.

The most frank one in the discussion is that Jia Zhen, Zhou Zupei and others have already said that "power cannot be moved downward, and if it is moved, it will be replaced by the day", and Shengbao Yishu said more clearly: "The political authority of the imperial court is from the top, and it is not the income of the subordinates, and the distinction between the monarch and the minister in our dynasty is extremely strict, especially not comparable to the previous dynasty." "In this case, the Empress Dowager's curtain is really the full power of the acting emperor. And what kind of person the Empress Dowager Cixi is, in just these short ten days, has shown quite clearly, she must be as powerful as Empress Zhang Xian Liu of the Song Dynasty. (To be continued.)
