0798 Emperor Tongzhi dies
Naturally, Empress Dowager Cixi was inevitably crying with Empress Dowager Ci'an. If Emperor Tongzhi had this disease, neither of them could shirk responsibility. Ci'an was too spoiled and favored Emperor Tongzhi more than Cixi's biological mother. Cixi consciously indulged the emperor and Zai Cheng to make trouble. Otherwise, would it be easy for the emperor to go out of the palace to get this disease?
Emperor Tongzhi and Zai Cheng's excuse was to inspect the Summer Palace project, but who was Empress Dowager Cixi? How could this kind of excuse for pediatrics deceive her? She did not expect to get this kind of dirty disease. Otherwise, Cixi would kill the emperor in minutes.
The two of them couldn't discuss any results. It was better to have Empress Dowager Cixi make the decision.
Cixi's idea was to delay the life, and to speed up the pace and prepare to establish a new king.
There is no need to think about the candidate for the new king. In fact, Cixi's choice is very narrow. Apart from the children given by her own sister, she has no relatives to cultivate.
If you say you delay your life, there will be a few days left, so you won’t be in danger.
Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't know anything, "Is Zai Tian? Prince Chun's son?"
Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Yes, sister, what do you think if it is from the Pu generation? Why do we continue to rule the country from behind the curtain? This world is already like this. If I let go and leave it to the newbies, I am afraid that this world will not be able to survive for a year. I really want to ignore anything."
Empress Dowager Cixi's crying voice made Empress Dowager Ci'an hug Cixi and comfort her. "Sister, you have suffered in the past few years. Alas, why is the emperor like this? It's all my fault. I can't help with anything and haven't looked at the emperor yet."
"Sister, don't say that. If there is anything, let's face it together." Empress Dowager Cixi also revealed her true feelings.
In fact, in history, Cixi was good to Ci'an. Ci'an was definitely not killed by Cixi, because Ci'an's ability did not pose a slight threat to Empress Dowager Cixi.
The two of them started crying again as they talked.
But I didn't expect that the emperor's illness changed drastically that afternoon and he had already fallen into a coma.
The whole palace was busy and frightened, and he was busy all the time. No one knew what to do. Empress Dowager Cixi had never thought about blocking the news. It was mainly meaningless. She controlled her power and the sooner she resolved the better.
Cixi quickly sent people to inform her that the relatives and nobles of the neighbors, military ministers, imperial ministers, masters walking in Hongde Hall, and Hanlin, the Nanshufang, arrived one after another. She didn't care about any rituals and rushed to Yangxin Hall as soon as she arrived.
But I saw the dim and lingering in the corner of the hall, and three or two crows were living on the wall, screaming "Wow" and the steps on the corridor. The first one came, the face was solemn, and the next one came, the second one asked in panic.
Li Lianying ran in and out, sweating all over her head.
Suddenly, a famous eunuch flashed out quickly and promulgated in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager summoned me."
Li Lianying hurried into the Western Warehouse. The princes and ministers who had already knelt all over the ground were already crying like springs. They both covered their hands with handkerchiefs and did not dare to cry out loud.
All I heard Li Lianying say: "No! Long lively, no one can recognize him!"
"What...what should I do?" Empress Dowager Cixi stammered.
