"Do you know, what big thing happened these days when you left the capital? Haha... the Ai family really didn't expect that the situation would be so chaotic that even he jumped out..."

What Ci'an said had to be over the past years. Ci'an was not an incompetent queen mother. This woman has little desire for power by nature, but it does not mean that she does not understand.

To put it simply, this woman doesn't like power very much, but it doesn't mean she doesn't know the tricks and tricks in the power field. In order to protect herself and for the Qing Dynasty, Ci'an was also very ruthless in his actions.

After all, she was the famous Empress Dowager Dong, the wife of Xianfeng's main wife, and the woman who carried in from the main gate of the palace. Her reputation was far above Cixi. In the hearts of the Han ministers who grew up under Confucian education, Ci'an was the real master who ruled the country from behind the curtain, and even the Mongolian tribes admired Ci'an very much.

Ci'an has always been very strong in enlisting the Mongolian tribes, such as the Manchu-Mongolian Eight Banners Alliance led by Senggelinqin. Many of the Mongolian tribes sent real elite troops to the pass to participate in the war under the coordination of Ci'an.

With Xiao Letian's sudden emergence, the situation in the court became increasingly chaotic. Originally, the Tongzhi Zhongxing period did not appear in history. Although it was indeed a period of economic recovery, there were more serious killings in politics.

Ci'an was very worried about this trend. She even felt that the Qing Dynasty was heading towards a serious civil war, not a civil war involving the Han people, but a serious conflict that would soon occur in the Manchus.

It is the duty of politicians to prepare for the future. Ci'an arranged for Fuqing to form a reformist faction. In fact, Ci'an doesn't care about conservatism and reform. She just wants to use various forces to balance the situation.

With one hand, Fu Qing was arranged, and the other hand, she began to act in the north. She began to install her trusted officials in the Zhangjiakou area, and began to frequently contact the Mongolian princes and princes. Finally, even the Rehe governor surrendered to the Empress Dowager Dong.

Ci'an vaguely accumulated her strength in the northern part of the Qing Dynasty. She was very careful not to show any leakage, but all her efforts were rewarded. Just a few years ago, her power discovered a very strange situation.

A horse bandit suddenly appeared outside the mouth, with a population of about 500, entrenched in the area of ​​the Harawusu River north of Zhangjiakou, and even wandered further north to the area of ​​the Zhenghuang Banner Ranch of Chahar.

It is strange that these horse bandits whistle the mountains and forests rarely commit crimes, disturbing the people but never hurting them. Moreover, local officials mostly turn a blind eye to them. Gradually, these people aroused the vigilance of the heads of the Rehe Tutor and the Mongolian tribes in the East Fourth League.

During the careful inquiries of these people, they actually discovered a shocking secret. The officials who provided protection to the horse bandits were more or less related to a person in the capital.

"He is the fifth master of our capital, Yi Qiong!"

"What!" Fu Qing's tiger body was shocked and almost pushed Ci'an to the ground and threw her butt eight petals. "Fifth Prince? This... How is this possible?"

Who among the Eight Banners of the Capital heard that the fifth master was the name of the fifth master? He gave the poor woman a ingot of gold when he ate a bowl of tofu. When he met a bully who teased women, he directly broke his third leg... The fifth master did a lot of such righteous things.

Even when I mention the name of the fifth master at the entrance of the capital, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, not because of the identity of the prince.

If such people want to fight and cause trouble, they will break the head of the butler of the Wang family with iron hat. Whose unfilial grandson's legs will be discounted? Fu Qing believes all these news, but now Ci'an clearly says that the fifth master has the intention to enter the market, but Fu Qing doesn't believe it.

"Haha...silly! Don't believe it, let's continue listening to me..."

Ci'an took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head to the little enemy. "Later, I focused on asking someone to check it out. Only then did I realize that the rebellious Yang Zhi under Xiao Letian was already very close to Yi Qiong, and a group of small and small guards in the capital were also related to him..."

"In the Jiangnan money crisis and stock market, my fifth brother made a fortune... No wonder there are people like Yang Zhi who have followed Xiao Letian to help. If you don't get rich, you will be ghosts!"

"With money, he has also recruited people from the world to train soldiers secretly. Although there are only 500 people, this means too obvious... He is waiting for an opportunity. He has calculated that the court will undergo a major change in the future. He is preparing in advance!"

"Even the street gangster Lao Wu was intrigued. You can imagine how chaos outside was... The Ai family really didn't expect it! Zhou Daoying, a waste, help me find out every day, and I don't know what it was revealed!"

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch Zhou Daoying jogged all the way and knelt on the stone slab, "Slaves are useless, slaves are really useless... But slaves are really dedicated, and they are definitely not lazy!" After saying that, he kowtowed.

Master Qing San quickly smoothed out the situation. "You can't blame the general manager. Actually, I was running like this outside, and I didn't hear any abnormal movements from Master Fifth. This shows that Master Fifth is hiding deeply, and it also proves that the Empress Dowager is tall..."

"Stycoon..." Ci'an gave him a blank look, then unconsciously rubbed Fuqing's thigh with his butt, and the curve of his plump buttocks slipped on his thigh. Fuqing's blood rushed up at that time, and the nose bleeding almost spurted out.

"Haha... The Queen Mother... Haha, just say directly what should we do... Don't keep it aside... Hiss..."

As soon as the little enemy spoke, Ci'an released how much he was angry, and did not hide it. Ci'an directly threw out his plan. "Before Zaichun took power, no one of us could have a conflict with the west side, including the Japanese Sixth Update, so we would clip the tails for me!"

"From today, Ai's family pretended to be sick and asked the Imperial Hospital to prescribe the prescription, saying that I was suffering from fever and had a strong heart fire and needed rest and rest... It would be better to say that I should go to Chengde to escape the summer heat. Ai's family must leave this place of right and wrong!"

"Fuqing, stay in the capital, I will make a match to let you meet the fifth prince. If there are not many soldiers in our two families, just join together to deal with the big changes in the future..."

"He Yiqiu dares not ignore me. If he dares not listen, don't blame the Ai family for being rude to shake out his secret... Don't worry, he still has to give my sister-in-law the face!"

"From now on, we need to save more money and food, raise more soldiers... When Zaichun takes power, we must have soldiers to protect us!"

Fu Qing frowned, "Will Prince Gong let the Empress Dowager go to Chengde? Can he not notice it at all? He also has a lot of eyeliners..."

"It's okay, the Ai family has another last move... I'll call Zeng Guofan right away. I've been recuperating for so long. Now that the weather is warm, it's time to come to Zhili to take office, right?"

"Hahaha... put Lao Zeng in Jingji, do you think the attention of the Japanese Six can still be put on us? Hahaha..."
