Chapter 25: Doctrine

Cixi fell to the ground and Chu Xiugong suddenly became a mess. I muttered, after enduring for so long, I should bear it for this moment. I quickly leaned over and picked up Cixi and cried, "Dad! Dad!", thinking about some sad things desperately, and a few tears were squeezed out from my eyes. I raised my head and cried, "Call the Imperial Doctor! Dad!"

Longyu also came over and gathered around Cixi with me and cried. The princes next to him had long lost their minds and looked at each other one by one.

"Hello, Master..." Cixi struggled to open her eyes, her lips trembled, and she squeezed out a few words, and her body suddenly shook and stopped moving.

Seeing that she was completely dead, I stood up and shouted with a blue face: "Zai Yi! Kneel down!"

Zai Yi was really not promising, so she knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on..." At this time, Zai Yi had already followed the previous agreement, and after the second gunshot, she brought people in. I said to Zai Yi, "Take down Zai Yi, the beast who conspired to kill the empress dowager!"

"Zha——" The guards took Zai Yi down like a wolf. Prince Qing County, Yi Li, had a white lips and he whispered a few times, but he didn't dare to speak. I stared at him fiercely and said, "Take Yi Li down too!"

The guards acted as they said, and Yi Li shouted, "Your Majesty! You are wronged!" I ignored him and waved my hand to order, "Take these two disobedient things to the clan's mansion and lock them up first!"

At this time, the imperial physician arrived, examined Cixi's body, knelt down at me, and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, the Queen Mother... the Queen Mother... she... went."

I nodded and said, "Get up. It was those two unfilial descendants who used conspiracy to murder the Lafayette. No wonder you. Go back."

I glanced over the princes and princes with a blue face and said coldly: "The Queen Mother has passed away. You are all nobles in the royal family. What should I do now?"

"Everything depends on the Holy Lord." After a while of silence, everyone knelt down one after another, and Yi Xin led the way and responded one after another.

I nodded and walked, "Since that's the case, we can't let go of the bastards who killed the Old Buddha. Prince Gong, let's get up, I mean, I want to ask you to take someone to Shenji Camp first and take down all the people in the Tutong Gangyi and the Manufacturing Bureau, etc., is that okay?"

"Slave Yixin, please receive the holy order!"

"Carry it! Xuan Chenggong Gong Guixiang came here to cooperate in affairs. All the princes and nobles are here to abide by the system and must not leave without leaving without permission! Those who are unfilial and leave without permission shall be executed immediately!"

This is the most critical moment of the power struggle. We must cut off all contact between these people and the outside world. After I left, I quickly issued a series of orders to seize important positions inside and outside the capital. All of them were arranged by Prince Gong Yixin. The only thing that made me feel worried was that Feng Sheng A was the admiral of the Fengtai Camp. However, after thinking about it, Feng Sheng A left impression on me was because he fled in the war against Japan. It was not his conspiracy, so it was fine. Zai Ying, who came back from Tianjin, became the commander of the Shanpu Camp. I issued another order, asking Prince Li Shi Duo to leave the palace and go to the Shenji Camp to take charge, and issued an order: Zai Wen also handled the commander of the Shenji Camp, and the camp affairs were co-organized by Enzo, and Prince Li personally announced the order.

At this point, the overall situation has been decided. At the suggestion of Prince Gong Yixin, Prince Su Shanqi, was in charge of the affairs of the vassal court, responsible for the movements of the Qing vassals, Mongolia and Tibet, and inform them of the death of Cixi. And beware of possible abnormal movements. I agreed, but I thought in my mind, Shanqi's name is so familiar, who is it? (Father of Yoshiko Kawashima)

The overall situation in the military has been decided, and my vision has turned back to politics. Foreign affairs are left to Yi Xin, but Yi Xin resigned on the grounds of old age and recommended Li Hongzhang to me to do it. I thought about it. Although Li Hongzhang had some shortcomings, he was familiar with Western affairs, so he first let him do it. Because Shi Duo pleaded guilty and resigned from his position as the leader of military aircraft, I was promoted to Weng Tonghe to lead military aircraft. First, to appease the Qingliu school headed by him, and second, I really have to rely on him for many things. I have never heard of other people in the Military Affairs Office, and they don’t seem to be useful. It seems that you should pay more attention to it after promoting talents.

The clan mansion quickly submitted a report to Yi Li, and Zai Yi's disposal opinion: Yi Li was extremely guilty and immediately sent to the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum to guard the tomb. The family property was confiscated and the family was immediately dispersed. Zai Yi was immediately banned because of evil things, and the family's wealth was confiscated. I will take care of them one by one.

Sun Yuwen of the Ministry of Justice submitted his opinions on dealing with Yixingren, but everyone killed nine clans, and Gangyi even more dealt with Lingchi. I felt a little unbearable, so I changed the raid of the house and beheaded. It would be better to achieve my goal, and there was no need to tell anyone about the excuse of me killing indiscriminately.

In fact, at this time, everyone could see that I was about to turn over and everyone wanted to give me some force. The Ministry of Justice obviously understood the above and over and over again. After my judgment was changed, there were many memorials to praise my benevolence and virtue. I naturally knew that this was all flattery and laughed it off.

After the body of Cixi was buried, the country fell completely into my hands. Yixin probably saw some tricks. Cixi's death was not that simple, and she became even more awe of me. As soon as the funeral was finished, she became sick and returned to Jietai Temple to live in semi-seclusion. It would be good if I had something to ask for help. If I had nothing to do, you should raise your old age well, so that everyone would be able to do it.

As for those who were meritorious in this matter, each of them praised him. With Longyu's support, Guixiang still retained his title of benefactor, deprived him of all his titles, and allowed him to support him at home. He comforted Longyu very well, and finally there was no big trouble. Zaifeng inherited Prince Chun's title, Zai promoted me to his Beile, and commanded the matter of imperial guards. As for those princes who remained neutral in the struggle, they were basically still and even slightly rewarded, especially Yimo Beile, because he did not take Zai Tao away from Prince Chun's mansion that day, I specially ordered to comfort him.

So although this matter is very important to me, the changes in the royal family are not too big. The only ones who are in trouble are Yili and Zaiyi, and there is not much to say.

A few days later, I reported the matter of raiding the house one after another. Yi Yi's family collected 130 million taels of silver, but Zai Yi's family was not too rich, only more than 20 million taels. After reading these bank statements, I suddenly remembered two things, Li Lianying and Xuchang. I smiled in my heart and called Xiao Dezi.

"Xiao Dezi, I have been busy these two days, and I have worked hard for you." I greeted me.

"Reply to the emperor, I will do my best to do my best to do it." After this incident, and Zai Ding has been suffering for him during this period, he has become more fear and trembling when he looks at me.

In fact, he has helped me a lot, and now I don’t have to torture him anymore. I smiled and patted his shoulder and said, “You are loyal to me. I will not treat you badly. Now I will have a good job to hand over to you.”

Xiao Dezi looked at me suspiciously and said, "Slave...Slave will die. I wonder what the emperor wants to do?"

"Haha, you don't have to die. I ask you, do you want to be the eunuch general manager?" I asked him with a smile.

Xiao Dezi is a smart man. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and blinked and said, "Emperor... the Emperor wants to deal with Li Lianying?"

I stood up and laughed and said, "It's not just about dealing with him. You should bring this decree with you and go to the Ministry of Justice to find Sun Yuwen to announce the decree. You two people together with Yimo Beile, and search for the thieves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's not very convenient for them in the palace, so Li Lianying will give it to you. This is my favor to you, don't let me down."

As he said that, I handed over the written decree to him.

The investigation of these two people is basically for money. With the previous search, the total amount of more than 200 million taels of silver is over. With this money, what is it difficult for me to do?

Xiao Dezi went with great gratitude. In fact, I also knew that the job I gave him was so easy. When Cixi died, Li Lianying had long lost its former prestige. The tree fell and the money was scattered. In addition, the other ones were getting better and worse. Xiao Dezi is now very popular. It is not a piece of cake to do it. As for Xuchang, it was just a matter of just one sentence to get on Cixi's line by relying on some relatives with Guixiang.

As for Guixiang, I assigned him to be independently responsible for the funeral of Cixi, which is enough for him to be busy now.

Just as he was thinking, Kou Lian asked outside: "Emperor, Lord Weng Tonghe of the Military Affairs Department said that he had something important to see the emperor. How dare you ask the emperor, will he not see him?"

I remembered, and he said someone had sued Li Hongzhang for understanding Japan. What was going on?

So I nodded and said, "Xuan Jin!"
