During the middle of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the military forces near the capital were composed of four internal and external admirals, the ministers of the inner and outer courts of the inner and outer courts of the Fengtai camp and the Ruijian camp in Xishan.

In early 1903, in order to change the disadvantages of military power, the Qing government finally decided to set up a military training office, with Prince Qing Yixin as the general manager and Yuan Shikai and Tieliang as the council and assistant manager respectively. At the same time, the provincial supervision and training office were established, with the governors of each province as the supervisor, and the three departments of military equipment, staff and coaches, forming the consistent new military training institution across the country, making a reform attitude.

By 1905, in addition to Yuan Shikai's Beiyang six towns, which led to the formal establishment of the new Chinese army in the late Qing Dynasty, new troops in other provinces also formed regular systems such as towns or associations.

At this point, the only military force that retains the Qing Dynasty system and traditional military power was the inner guard system in the Forbidden City. The highest commander was mostly led by Manchu civil officials or central government officials, so it was also known as the Minister of the Inner Guard. The first rank must be appointed by the children of the upper three banners. There are six ministers below, and two people in each banner who are not in power cannot be held by the most trusted persons.

As a Han Chinese, being able to be the chief supervisor of the Great Neighbor's guard is inseparable from Yin Fu's love for more than 20 years in the palace, as well as the contribution of Cixi and Guangxu to accompany the king's guard on his way to Xi'an. As a second-ranked Great Neighbor's military general, in Cixi's eyes, he was extremely favored.

Of course, in Gong Baotian's heart, he knew that the second chief nominal under the Minister of the Guard was just a false title of honor, and the real military strength and authority in the palace were still firmly in the hands of the six Manchu ministers. The only ones he could command were the guards who carried the flags of the Han people and a few military officers who lowered the five flags.

This actually reflects from the indirection that the bureaucratic groups of the new army led by Yuan Shikai were irreconcilable and even suspicious between the Manchus and the powerful and powerful people. This is why Cixi later ordered Tieliang to be the Minister of the Army and in disguise, he included all the 36 towns of the new army under the direct jurisdiction of centralized power, and slightly undermined the military power of Yuan Shikai and other Han generals.

Gong Baotian didn't have much real power, so naturally there was no question of whether it was empty or not. According to his current reputation in the palace, if he only led a team of guards and palace maids to enter and exit Yingtai and even the entire Forbidden City, it would not be difficult. And when there were more magical drivers and lotus seats from the East in this team of guards, it was basically even more unobstructed.

"Stop. In order to clear the hidden dangers of fire in the palace, martial law will be carried out today in the Forbidden City and the inner palace. Anyone who enters and leaves must be left in the sedan chair for investigation..."

Gong Baotian stretched out his hand and signaled the group to stop for the time being. He walked forward with pride and scolded with some displeasure: "Which inner minister do you belong to? Do you don't recognize me Gong Baotian, or you haven't seen the Dharma of the Great Lama from the East? Your courage is worthy of all the inner palace guards learning..."

The inner guard who called out was stunned for a moment, looked at Gong Baotian's gloomy face, and couldn't help but hesitate. However, before he could bow his head and reply, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind, "It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Lord Gong is not in front of the Old Buddha's guard. I don't know what is the matter when I run to Yingtai. The servants below can't do anything, so Lord Gong laughs..."

Although he spoke decently, his tone was a little yin and yang. When the speaker slowly walked over, Gong Baotian felt half cold in his heart, but his face had to force himself to laugh, "It turned out to be Lord Bo. Baotian'er, who was ordered by the Lord Buddha today, asked the Lama from the East to go to Yingtai to regulate the emperor's body. Isn't this just finished his work..."

Seeing Bodisu's face gradually calmed down, Gong Baotian couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and he whispered in a low voice, "In order to cure the emperor's long-term illness, this big lama in Donglai is now seriously injured. He told his subordinates and others not to disturb him. Baotian'er then called a team of guards to escort the big lama in Donglai out of the palace..."

Bodisu nodded at first, but still felt uneasy. He gently patted Gong Baotian on the shoulder and signaled him to retreat for the time being. He led two old eunuchs to the front of the Lotus Terrace sedan of the Lama of Donglai. "Bdisu was ordered by the Lord Laff's order to investigate the fire disasters in the palace, and he also hoped that the Lama of Donglai would take care of one or two and lift the gauze curtain..."

This Bodisu is the descendant of the Borjijit clan and the third son of Boyannemoyou, the Prince of Zasak Bodolgatai, the left-wing rear banner of the Korqin Zhelim League in the Qing Dynasty. This person is smart and capable, and deeply trusted by Cixi, so he can be said to have a prosperous official career in his career.

In the 17th year of the Guangxu period, he was named Duke of the Supplementary State. In the 29th year, he managed the Tiger Gun Camp and was appointed as the Minister of Military Parade. He ordered him to learn to walk on the imperial court and was appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Court. In the 32nd year of the Guangxu period (1906), on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was appointed as the Minister of the Guards. With Tieliang, the Minister of the Army, he can be regarded as the leader of the two major military generals, one inside and one outside.

In fact, there were rumors in the inner court as early as the New Year that Bodisu was ordered to take the order of Cixi. In the few days after the New Year, he felt guilty that he would go to Kulun (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian People's Republic) to persuade the Thirteenth Da Lama to return to Tibet, so Gong Baotian planned to launch an attack today and rescue Guangxu from Yingtai. However, he did not expect that at the last moment when he was about to leave the palace, Bodisu suddenly appeared again, which disrupted all the steps and even the most critical step.

The four young lamas guarding the lamas in front of the east lama's rose seat had a gloomy face, but under Bodisu's unanimous aura, he retreated helplessly. Bodisu's official power and even his personal bravery were unable to look directly at him. Even Yang Meng, who was disguised as a lama in the sea, dared not drag his current wounded body and stepped forward in front of hundreds of large guards to stop Bodisu's forced opening of the curtain.

Swish!

The curtain was lifted, and Bodisu's face slightly relaxed, but he didn't expect that the big lama from the east would pile up like a pool of mud on the lotus platform, just as Gong Baotian said. If it weren't for the long and powerful breath, just looking at his pale face as snowy, he might have thought that his soul had already flown to the west.

"Slow down!"

Just as Bodisu gently lowered the curtain and was about to let go, the old eunuch who had not made any sound behind him suddenly shouted softly, which made Yang Meng and others feel relieved and tighten again.

The old eunuch who spoke looked about in his seventies. Although his body looked like he was hunched over, his thick silver hair and red light made people feel that there was indeed a fairy figure like a childish and crane hair.

"The people in the sedan are breathing heavily and stagnant, and their muscles are loose and weak. They are either ordinary people who do not know martial arts or those who have lost all their martial arts. It is said that the lama from the east has been practicing martial arts for many years. Just to diagnose and treat the emperor's chronic diseases, I'm afraid it will not reach this point, right?"

Yang Meng's heart moved, and his body instinctively rushed towards Bodisu. However, before his fists could approach Bodisu, the old eunuch who seemed to be drooping and suddenly opened his eyes wide. He screamed and shouted, "Look for a fight!"

Swish. Compared to the culling action just now, Yang Meng's speed of retreating back was even more shocking. He thought that the old eunuch moved his eyes with his shocking eyes and a harsh scream, which made Yang Meng, a master who was so versatile, retreat backwards involuntarily. The power of divine intention and eye attack in his eyes was simply unbelievable...

Gong Baotian's feet moved and calmed down, and he returned to his expressionless look in a blink of an eye. However, the guards behind him instinctively pulled out their waist swords and confronted more than a hundred guards who had just surrounded him.

"You little lama is not old, and your kung fu has become magical. I have heard that there is a disciple under Donglai's seat named Huanhai, but I never thought that it would be so hot. It's just that your body's spirit and Tai Chi's boxing spirit cannot be taught by a useless person like Donglai. Could it be that your body's injuries were also treated for the emperor?"

While speaking, the old eunuch had reached out to pull Bodissu behind him, and then, with Bodissu waving his hand, the tense inner guards relaxed their emotions a little, but they just stood up so carefully.

"There are even experts at the elixir level in this palace?"

Yang Meng's heart sank to the bottom, but his hands instinctively made a round Tai Chi fist stance, looking at the old man who had just woken up with helpless look on his face.

"Looking at Donglai's injuries, I'm afraid you're going to be a harsh attack?"

The old eunuch stood slowly in front of Yang Meng with his hands on his back, "When did you have such a genius in Tai Chi Sect? Yang Banhou was probably not as good as this when you were at your age. If you weren't too young, I'm afraid the family would have thought it was Yang Luchan's direct disciple..."

At this point, all the concealment was meaningless. Seeing that he and others failed, Gong Baotian raised his fists slightly and was about to break through. However, he heard the old eunuch say something slowly, and then he had to put away his fists and feet, lower his head and speak...

"Slaves' heads of the royal family, see the emperor..."

Yang Meng's eyes shrank slightly, but he didn't expect that the old eunuch would recognize Emperor Guangxu, who was disguised as a palace guard, who was around him. With the skills of this man and others, everyone was now completely afraid of the rat.

Guangxu's eyes turned red slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You still know how to call me Emperor. Since you are a secret guard of the royal family, why do you only know how to obey your father? Why do you have to force me like this? Why can't you leave me a way out..."

Bodisu's face was scared and he quickly signaled his guards to put away their weapons. The matters of the Tian family were too complicated and difficult to predict. It would be better not to join the group if you could join the group.

The old eunuch stood tremblingly, looking at Guangxu's face that was crying and tears, and he felt a little unbearable. "Your Majesty is kidding. If the Qing Dynasty had lost the Old Buddha, I would have been defeated by the rebels and foreigners. What the old slave is doing now is to follow the mission of the secret guards, extend the country's destiny as much as possible, and leave a way out for the people outside the pass..."

Seeing Guangxu's dissatisfaction and reluctance, the old eunuch sighed and continued, "The Old Buddha knew that the emperor was a little angry and bitter in Yingtai, so he asked the Lord Gong to take the emperor out for a walk to relieve his boredom. But he didn't know that the emperor was going out of the palace in a conspicuous manner, so he came to protect his guard... The people outside the palace were unpredictable. If the emperor insisted on his own, it would be difficult for him to turn back. Please move the emperor to Qing Palace..."
