Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After seeing off Prince Gong, Prince Jin walked out of the living room and strolled to the back garden. The sun was setting and the golden rays were shining on the treetops.In the evening, Xiao Zaitian silently looked at the sky alone.Prince Jin hurried to his son and said, "Zai Tian, ​​why are you here alone? Where's Cuixi?"

Cui Xi came over from behind the tree, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm here. Princess Gu Lun just left, and my little lord won't let me follow."

"Zai Tian, ​​what are you looking at?" Prince Jin hugged his son lovingly.

Although Zai Tian is only four years old, he has retained all the memories of his previous life, and of course he knows the preferences of this first-generation Prince Alcohol.Casually said: "Ama, my ancestor Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, took over Taiwan after the third reunification. At the age of 21, Ama teamed up with Liubo to clean up Sushun. Keep my Qing Dynasty orthodox! When I grow up, I will also As good as Amma. I am four years old and grown up. I want to ask Ama to allow the child to learn horse riding and archery tomorrow!"

Prince Jin stared blankly at his son, filled with emotion in his heart. What he was proud of all his life was to clean up Sushun's gang of rebels.Now that it is said by his own son, it is even sweeter, especially when compared with Kangxi, it directly raises his vanity to the highest level! ! !Looking at his four-year-old child, he said, "Son, the Qing Dynasty is troubled now. You should study hard and help the emperor bring our Qing Dynasty into the ranks of world powers. You don't have to be angry with those foreign devils all the time."

Xiao Zaitian looked at the excited father and said with a smile: "Ama, you agreed. I want to learn horse riding, archery, and martial arts from Master Luo, and I will protect Ama and Erniang in the future!"

Looking at his dancing son, Prince Jin only nodded slightly, and ordered Luo Minghai, the leader of the martial arts masters in the house, to lead people to make small bows and knives overnight, and teach the little prince martial arts tomorrow.

The setting sun shines golden light on Cixi's palace, which is dazzling, and the lanterns have lit up bright eyes.

At this time, Prince Gong had been led here by Li Lianying. He walked there anxiously, brushed his sleeves, and prostrated himself on the ground: "I pay homage to the Queen Mother."

"The sixth master is here, get up quickly. Little Li, take a seat." Cixi turned around.

"Cha, Sixth Master, please sit down." Li Lianying said.

Cixi looked at him calmly and said: "Master Liu, I invite you here today to discuss something with you."

"Please tell me, Queen Mother." Prince Gong sat down, "Your Majesty's health is not very good these days, and it's getting worse these days." Cixi stared at him, tentatively.

Prince Gong remained silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Cixi said with something in his words: "I heard that Liu Ye has seen the emperor today?"

Prince Gong's heart was shocked, and then he frowned, and said: "Yes, I have seen the emperor today."

"What did the emperor say?" Cixi hurriedly asked.

"The emperor is a little worried about Jiangshan Sheji." Prince Gong hesitated for a while, then stopped.

"Sixth Lord, we are not outsiders, tell me, what if the emperor... Who do you think is the most suitable to inherit the great line?" Cixi said straightforwardly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Prince Gong sat there calmly, without appearing flustered.After a while, he said calmly, "I dare not speculate."

Cixi knew that he was hiding something and didn't want to say it, so she smiled and said: "Master Liu, you have nothing to hide from me."

"I dare not"

"I also heard that the emperor intends to pass on to you, the sixth master," Cixi pressed her every step of the way.

"Empress Dowager" Prince Gong looked at her in surprise, "The Sixth Master is now in such a high position, isn't the Sixth Master not at all tempted by the emperor's dragon chair?" Cixi said in a strange way as she walked back and forth on the carpet.

"The empress dowager clearly learned that I really have no intention of disobedience! The empress dowager should know that if I want to usurp the throne and seek power, I could have done so as early as the death of the first emperor Rehe." Prince Gong replied without humiliation .

"That's right, when the former emperor passed away, you were in charge of the national military and political power in Beijing, and Prince Jin Lao Qi was the commander of the infantry in the capital, guarding the safety of the capital and the palace. But they are far away in Rehe, as long as you give an order, Jiangshan Sheji is at your fingertips." Cixi stared at his face.

Prince Gong was silent and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Cixi watched his expression, and after a while, her face became softer.She turned around and sat down, looked at him and said, "Master Liu, I was joking with you, little plum, serve tea for Master Liu. Serve me the Longjing tea that Li Hongzhang gave me, and let Master Liu taste it."

At night, Cixi came to Ci'an's bedroom.Ci'an's bedroom is also magnificently decorated.Ci'an is kind and upright, and Tongzhi is very close to her.Ci'an has no children of her own, so the only prince, Di, loves and takes care of him very much, treating her as her own.As time went on, Tongzhi felt that Ci'an was his own mother.At this moment, the two wanted to sit idly by, Cixi told Tongzhi's illness, and the two looked sad.Ci'an sat on the chair carved with red sandalwood fat jade, sighed: "I never thought that the emperor would be infected with such an incurable disease at such a young age."

"Sister, it's too late to be sad now. We must now think about who will succeed us. In case the emperor... we have to be prepared." Cixi said urgently.

"Is the emperor's illness really that serious?" Ci'an asked suspiciously.

"I went to the palace just now, the emperor may not survive tonight." Cixi said.

Ci'an was so sad that he sobbed sadly.

"Sister, don't cry. Do you know how many people are staring at the throne? If there is a trouble, the world will be in chaos and the heads will fall! We have to choose the emperor now, otherwise it will be too late!"

Ci'an looked up at Cixi, and asked, "Does my sister have any ideas?"

After a while, Cixi finally said what she had considered: "I think Prince Jin's eldest son, the four-year-old Zai Tian, ​​is very appropriate."

In the evening, in the deserted Hall of Mental Cultivation, Dongnuange, Tongzhi Bedroom, a huge red candle swayed alone in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

Tongzhi turned over and screamed with all his strength, "Come here! I'm very sad..."

There was silence all around, and everything seemed to be dead.

"Mother, you are too venomous... Isn't I your own son? Tiger poison doesn't even eat babies... You cut off my diet, and you didn't let the imperial doctor treat me... You..."

A tear of despair rolled down the corner of Tongzhi's eyes, his voice gradually weakened, and one hand was raised in the air indiscriminately, as if trying to grab something.After a while, his eyes rolled upwards, his hands dropped down physically, and his whole body was motionless.Emperor Tongzhi, who had been dying for several days, finally exhausted the last trace of vitality in his life.

At this moment, the candle flame burnt out the last drop of candle tears, and went out with a bang.Suddenly, the entire palace was plunged into darkness.Li Lianying's ugly, excited face gradually emerged from the darkness, looking particularly ferocious.

A young eunuch rushed out from the closed palace door. He ran down the steps and shouted wildly on the stone pavement of the palace: "The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead!"

Seizing Power Chapter 3 The Son of Heaven

Cixi was playing chess with an old eunuch at the red sandalwood inlaid with precious white jade carving Fushou table in the bedroom. He seemed a little absent-minded, looking out of the dimly lit window anxiously.

"Empress Dowager, it's your turn to go." The old eunuch reminded carefully, Cixi picked up a cannon casually, and beat the other party.

"Queen Mother, you only care about eating the slave's pawns, and you didn't pay attention to the cart handle of the slave, who killed one of the Queen Mother's horses!" The old eunuch stared at the chessboard, pressed the chess down hard, picked up the opponent's horse, and proudly Crackling in the hands.

Cixi was in a bad mood at first, but when she heard that the old eunuch wanted to kill or chop, her face changed immediately.She slapped the chessboard with a slap, and scolded: "You want to kill my horse? What a big tone! If you kill my horse, I will kill your whole family! Come on!"

Only then did the old eunuch realize that he had caused trouble, he trembled all over, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, the slave said something wrong... Queen Mother, please spare the slave..."

Several eunuchs came to listen to the order.

"Pull him down and beat him to death!" Cixi said angrily.

"twitter"

After a while, the old eunuch was dragged outside, several wooden sticks kept falling down, blood and flesh flew from the old eunuch's buttocks, and the surrounding snow turned red.It will not move for a while.Several eunuchs dragged him outside the palace.

At this time, Li Lianying ran over from a distance, looked at the Queen Mother hurriedly and said, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..." Li Lianying ran into the palace and knelt on the ground.

"What? What's wrong with the emperor? Cixi is staring at him." The emperor died. "

"Emperor" Cixi's eyes immediately shed tears.

Although Cixi was very strict with Tongzhi when he was alive, but after all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her own body, and she suddenly became sad. "

"" Queen Mother, you, you must mourn, don't be too sad!You have to think about the country, the country, and the Qing Dynasty cannot do without you. "Li Lianying handed over the silk handkerchief very pretentiously!"

"Xiao Lizi, I'm so sad... After all, the emperor is my son, how can I not feel sorry for him? Back then, I was just a concubine, if I hadn't given birth to him, how could I be the queen mother! Holding the seal of the harem? But he is too disappointing. He ran outside the palace to make a fuss, and even partnered with this outsider to plot against me. He wanted to put me in the cold palace..." Cixi choked up.
