3933 Resignation
The ministers were in an uproar, and no one expected that the two empress dowagers would use this trick!
Cixi was easy to say. After all, she was her own mother and she still had to support her son at critical moments. But was Ci'an so generous? She was willing to give all the blank imperial edicts?
No matter what the imperial edict is, first stamp the seals of the Imperial Award and Tongdaotang. These two seals were originally the highest symbol of imperial power before Zaichun took power!
This is the will of Emperor Xianfeng, and no ministers did not follow it! And it was also very consistent with the overall pattern of dispersed powers at that time!
But that night, I don’t know how the two empress dowagers recited scriptures and worshiped Buddha. Anyway, they actually reached an agreement to give Zaichun the right!
Six imperial edicts! It’s still blank. How many things can we do? There are so many tricks in the writing of literati!
If you want to promote or derogate officials, you can write a name for one person, and it won’t cost much ink to write ten! With this blank authorization decree, Zai Chun can freely appoint and remove officials!
Of course, Zai Chun, a first- and second-rank official, should be more careful when appointing and dismissing him, but those who are third-rank officials must not touch their heads?
There is also the Military Affairs Office. With the nod of the two empress dowagers, no one in the court can object, unless Yi breaks up, but can Yi still make waves like this today?
Zaichun couldn't stop smiling, "After the Imperial Gate listened to the government, I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother... Notify the Imperial Grocery to hold wine in the Imperial Garden!"
"Okay, my ministers... I haven't figured out any details. Please gather your thoughts. Today I will open up the road to speak for you and wait for everyone to give your advice!"
What other opinions do you have? Zaichun is indeed taking into account all aspects of government affairs today, including civil affairs, military affairs, flag affairs, diplomacy...!
Many old ministers are very impressed by the fact that they can consider so comprehensively at a young age!
"My emperor is wise! I have no objection..."
"Well... OK... I'll send someone to find it again. Prince Gong and Prince Chun are the pillars of the country. My resolution still needs two uncles to help counselors!"
This is so hypocritical that it cannot be accepted. Today, Zaichun made a full counterattack, suppressing all the prestige of Yi and the robbery of the palace. Are you not satisfied with revenge like this? You still have to pull it back and slap it in the face?
People think about it, but no one dares to say it, so they can't answer this!
At this moment, a lonely figure came to the Meridian Gate. He walked very slowly. The huge shadow of the Wufeng Tower in the Meridian Gate covered him and looked like a ghost!
The guards and soldiers around him looked at him with a strange look, and the officials in front of Taihe's door also looked at him walking across the Jinshui Bridge with serious expressions!
Prince Chun Yihuan was still here, and he showed ten thousand unhappiness when he arrived late!
Zaichun looked at this seventh uncle. He was not very good at Yi because this person is not bad in nature. He didn’t have Yi? Such a strong desire for power!
But there is no way. After all, he is also the biological son of Emperor Daoguang. If he doesn't want rights, he has to chase him!
In addition, the people around him were all people from the Eight Banners circle, which made him have no choice but to be a conservative!
Zaichun still gave his uncle a face, and he took two steps ahead without waiting for Yihuan to speak. "Uncle Seven King... I've worked hard this night, why didn't Uncle Six come together!"
Yihuan's face turned red and knelt down and bowed, "I am a death sentence... As the admiral of the Nine Gate, he did not take good care of the public security of the Sijiu City, allowing the enemy to infiltrate, causing my innocent military and civilian casualties!"
"Wuwuwu... I am unforgivable. I ask Your Majesty for his crimes! I..."
Yihuan's forehead hit the stone slab, took off his hat and put it aside, which was the posture of not acting like resigning from office!
Zaichun didn't want to do anything bad today. He knew very well that the court struggle was not a matter of a short time. The small 100,000 troops in Xishan Camp were difficult to deal with. This hidden danger could not be turned against before it was completely resolved!
He took a few steps and supported Uncle Qi's shoulder. "What is Uncle Qi's saying? This is not the responsibility of one or two people. You can't bear it alone!"
"Put on the hat, put on..."
He pulled his hands hard, and Yihuan fell down like a dead dog and refused to get up. He kept crying, "Your Majesty! There are too many people we die... too many..."
"It's so miserable...Woooooo... Some are killed by poisonous smoke, some are burned to death, and some are smashed into pieces by heavy machine guns..."
"Wuwuwu... they are all the seeds of the Eight Banners, they are all our hometowns! Today, the Sijiu City... they have to wear mourning in the whole city..."
"I really have no shame to gain a foothold in the court. I ask Your Majesty to punish you and punish you..."
Yi? After looking at Uncle Wu, Yi Li and others, these princes hurriedly came up to help pull Prince Chun up. Prince Chun was crying heart-wrenchingly. He was not pretending but showing his true feelings!
Too many people died. When Xiao Letian brought Ci'anyi to Beijing to serve the king, the war was very fierce, and the Chinese clan had a large army, but not many people died!
The battle in Guangqumen was basically defeated at once, and the defenders fled without much resistance. As for the cavalry of the capital brought out by An Dehai and others, they did not fight much, so the Chinese army hid in the countryside as soon as they rushed back. They turned around and walked home one by one after another!
That year, Xiao Letian attacked the capital. The deaths were actually Li Hongzhang's Huai Army and some defenders of Tianjin Guard. Basically, the Han people died a lot, so the Eight Banners' children did not die much!
They don’t feel sorry for how many Han people died, but the one who took the lead in this battle last night was the garrison camps in the capital!
This is the home of the Eight Banners’ children. The ones who died of old surnames from each family were killed with machine guns!
At least 500 Eight Banners were killed in battle this night, and more than 200 were killed in battle in Xishan Camp. These are 500 young Eight Banners, and a total of 500 families lost their sons today!
Five hundred families were mourning together, but there was never such a scene in the capital. What's more, the people were all the bannermen!
Yihuan just counted casualties outside, and when he counted more than 200 people, he cried with pain. This scene reminded him of the Battle of Baliqiao of the British and French Allied Forces!
However, Senggelinqin brought some Mongolian cavalry or bannermen at the bottom of the Eight Banners. Although many people died in battle, they did not hurt their true vitality!
And the people who died last night were amazing, Yi Huan was shocked when he saw the list!
The Borjigit family, the Fucha family, the Guarja family, the Majia family, the Hesheli family, the Niuhulu family... etc., are all big surnames among the bannermen and belong to the family at the peak of power!
All the people who die are their own relatives! How can Yihuan not be sad? He cried countless times along the way, and he was really disappointed!
"Your Majesty... Prince Gong suddenly felt sick last night and was unconscious for half an hour... He was rescued at this moment, and he asked me to send me a note to report his illness..."
"He wants to resign from his position as Minister of the General Secretary... He wants to resign from all his errands..."
