"The more the legal system is, the more we can unite people's hearts to do big things, because there are fewer doubts, because he doesn't have to be wary of open and hidden arrows between his brothers! Gradually, the national dynasty will flourish. What can we do then?"

"You think I don't know about you and Yi? I've known about it for a long time, but not only am I not angry, I also admire you very much. A mother who is a mother is willing to serve the hidden danger for the throne of the child. You really have the courage of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang!"

"But I just don't understand. If you don't like me, you have to get rid of it quickly? I, a poor man without children, is it in your way? Just because Zaichun is closer to me on weekdays? Then why don't you think about whether there is something wrong with your education?"

"Zaichun is either not feeling sorry for you, he is just annoying that you always control him. This is the knot between you mother and son. If you don't find a way to untie it, why do you always want to kill me?"

The heartbroken Ci'an burst into tears, "As a result, a court was divided into two groups. Do you expect me to take care of the overall situation and not even want my life? Do you think I am stupid?"

Ci'an gasped and drank a glass of wine. She was silent for three minutes, but Cixi didn't dare to reply a word.

When Ci'an calmed down, she pointed to the chair and said "Sit!" Cixi shook her head and did not dare. Ci'an glared at her and raised her voice eight degrees, "Sit!!!" This time Cixi did not dare to disobey and quickly sat on the chair with half pulling her butt.

Ci'an looked up at Fanhua on the beam and said softly, "Actually, if everything is the same as nine years ago, then the path you chose is nothing wrong! Think about this from your perspective, and you can get rid of me and take over the power, then support Zai Chun to grow up and take charge of the government, slowly cultivate his own government officials, and finally undermine our brother-in-law..."

"There is nothing wrong with this process. The times have changed! After all, you just didn't count Xiao Letian? From the beginning, you didn't expect him to become so powerful, so powerful that he could steal your son!"

"Haha, everything you do is actually something that Xiao Letian is willing to see. The more we are divided, the more he can make profits... Even the Han governors and governors of Zeng Guofan were waiting to see our jokes! The more civil strife in the Manchus, the more they cheered!"

"Even the Japanese Lion was waiting for this opportunity. He knew very well that without chaos, there would be no chance to take advantage of the chaos! You, Yehenara, Xingzhen! It was your willful act that split the court. If the court had no factional chaos, how could it attract Xiao Letian to attack Beijing?

4000

Master, how could he take His Majesty away?"

"It is precisely because His Majesty opened his eyes when he walked out of the palace gate, and he let Xiao Letian throw him into the military camp for iron-blooded training that his ambitions incredibly expand! The stronger Zaichun showed, the more afraid the court officials were. Because they became more and more afraid, they would be more attached to Yi's side!"

"Don't forget that Yi now has a gun! He holds a new army of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in his hand! Just wait. If this happens, he has even more excuses to expand his army. Do you really think you can still control him? Stop dreaming!"

"You and his alliance are just a joke, just using each other. Do you think you are the big winner in the end? Unfortunately, you all miscalculated..."

"Sister! Our brother-in-law has a grudge against the late emperor! Do you not know that our man robbed the throne from him? How could the Japanese Six have no hatred in their hearts? Such people can be used, but they cannot be reused!"

Cixi cried with a whistle, "I understand, I understand the truth, but we can't rely on him in that situation at that time!"

This is the helplessness in the court. In a political storm, the interactions, distances and intimacy between people depend entirely on the times. The Japanese brother Liuhe won the throne, but when they dealt with the eight ministers of Guru, the two sisters-in-law had to rely on this enemy.

Of course, Cixi knew that Yi was ambitious, but in order to compete with Ci'an, she had to choose to form an alliance with Yi, and even had to sleep with her.

This has nothing to do with morality and justice. Everything is just a last resort. When the flood comes, even if there is a tiger on the boat, you have to bite the bullet and choose to get on the boat. What if you can subdue that tiger?

Cixi thought she could subdue the fierce tiger of the Japanese 6, but she was wrong. The tiger's IQ was actually no less than hers, and the tiger also had a plan.

Ci'an put his long nails on the table and gently tapped "Actually, all the problems we are facing now are not in the court, but outside the court. Even if we sisters kneel down and beg you, he will not give up his power, especially the army, he will not give up..."

"We still have to make a balance. The balance cannot be broken. Only by checking and balancing each other can we have room to move around!"

"The Eight Banners and the Green Camp are already in vain. These are just army on paper! The few armies that can fight in the Qing Dynasty are just Hunan Army, the new army of the capital, Xiao Letian's army, and foreign warship soldiers..."

"Is there anyone else? By the way, Zaichun still has thousands of people in his hands, but it's useless to have too few people. It's not a decisive force!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Ci'an finally let go of his hatred for Cixi and chose to overcome the difficult situation together, preserve the power of the young emperor, and maintain the stability of the court. This is a problem they must solve.

In fact, the problems in the court seem complicated and difficult, but in the final analysis it is still the problem of the forces factions, and the problems of the forces factions ultimately come down to the issue of the army.

If you carefully study the troops that can be fought in the Qing Dynasty, carefully classify them, and carefully return them to their positions, then the faction's sphere of influence will be clarified and the conflicts between them will be clear at a glance.

Ci'an was right. Nowadays, the several armies that could influence the Qing Dynasty were all on the table. The Hunan Army was one, the foreigners were one, and Xiao Letian was one. The new army of the court and the limited number of troops that could only fight were one. The remaining were the Eight Banners and Green Camps that made up the numbers. At best, those soldiers were just shaking flags and shouting.

The four-sided army and four-sided forces, the two empress dowagers suddenly realized that they had nothing in their hands, and that they only had the right to be righteous, which was the nominal control of the empire.

Why there was no such fierce conflict in the past? It was because in the past, the three forces formed a triangle that conflicted with each other. Foreigners, governors and warlords, and the imperial court supported and curbed each other, and a rare state of stability appeared.

However, when Xiao Letian's power suddenly rose, the stability of the triangle was destroyed, and the process of rearranging the situation was destined to be full of swords and shadows, blood and corpses paving the way.
