Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

In the evening, many people gathered in the Xinuang Pavilion. The ministers of military affairs and the relatives of the nearby royal families rushed into the palace. Chonglun et al.They were all waiting anxiously outside the hall.Prince Gong and Minister of Military Aircraft Li Hongzao waited silently.

"The Empress Dowager Huang of the Two Palaces Arrives"

The ministers were immediately divided into two rows, one row was the royal clan and the other row was the court ministers.They bowed their heads respectfully and listened to the order.

"Respectfully invite the empress dowagers of the two palaces to be safe," everyone shouted in unison.

"Get up," Ci'an said.

"Thanks to the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces"

The ministers stood up one after another and stood in order. Ci'an lightly straightened her bun and nodded at Cixi.

Cixi didn't wear a dress, she didn't sit on the throne, she just stood by the side, she shed tears full of grief and said: "Tonight, I invite everyone here in the middle of the night, and I have something to ask all the princes and ministers to decide. The emperor has been ill for a long time. It is at stake. This is the succession of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, and we two sisters would like to ask everyone to give their opinions."

Ci'an was silent for a while, wiped away tears and said: "Everyone think carefully before making a decision. This matter is related to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, so we must be cautious."

At this time, in Prince Jin's mansion, Xiao Zaitian, that is, Guan Xuqing was sleeping in the arms of his nurse, when he suddenly woke up covered in cold sweat.Vaguely feel the tense atmosphere in the air!Yelled at the wet nurse, "Quick, change my clothes! I want to see Ama!"

Cuixi was also taken aback by him, "Little prince, what's the matter? The prince has already been called into the palace. What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. Didn't the prince promise you to let Master Luo teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow?"

"Oh" Zai Tian breathed out, thinking in his heart, being called into the palace at this time, could it be that the emperor has already died? ?It seems that someone from the palace will come to pick me up tonight to become the most useless emperor in history.In the past few years, he has been thinking about how to get rid of Cixi, and then Qiankun is arbitrary and implements reforms and new policies.Rewrite the modern history of China's humiliation.He is about to enter the palace now, how could he not be excited! "I'm thirsty, go get me a cup of tea," Zai Tian said to Cui Xi.

The Forbidden City was extraordinarily quiet, as if nothing had happened, and it seemed like the temporary silence before the storm! !Cixi's shrill voice came from the Xinuang Pavilion, "My lords, have you considered it?"

There was silence all around, and after a while, the King of Fu County spoke up and said: "The emperor has no children. You can choose one year older person from among the emperor's nephews as the heir to succeed the throne. From this point of view, the eldest son of Emperor Daoguang, Pu Lun, the son of Yiluan, the king of Fu County, He is the best candidate. His appearance is dignified, he is at the peak of his age, and his character and knowledge are quite outstanding. The important thing is that he is the eldest son and grandson of Emperor Daoguang! He meets the conditions for succession.""

Cixi stared at him and reprimanded him: "Emperor Daoguang's eldest son Fujun Wang Yilu has no children. The first emperor couldn't bear the depression of the eldest son, so he made the elder brother who had never met him the county king, and adopted the eleventh son of Qianlong Emperor Yongxuan. descendants as his descendants.Although he is the eldest son and grandson of the Changfang, he is not of the blood of Emperor Daoguang at all, and is already a distant branch of the royal family.How to inherit the Datong? ""

Cixi turned her eyes to Prince Gong again, and asked directly: "Prince Gong is a prince of the royal family and a minister of state, why doesn't he speak?"

Prince Gong was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is at the peak of spring and autumn, and he will recover from occasional illnesses. The matter of raising an heir can be postponed. Besides, the queen Alut already has a dragon seed, and I can wait until the queen gives birth. conclusion."

Cixi's face was full of sorrow, she paused for a while and said: "Prince Gong is very right, it's just...it's just that the emperor... has passed away."

As soon as the words fell, the people in the middle suddenly became a mess, kneeling on the ground and crying loudly.

"My lords, now is not the time to cry. The matter of establishing an heir needs to be concluded quickly!" Cixi said.

"The queen is not far away from the day of giving birth. It is better not to mourn. After the queen gives birth, if she gives birth to a prince, she will be the heir. If she gives birth to a princess, it will not be too late to establish a new king." Prince Gong said.

Cixi paused, endured her grief, and after looking around at the crowd, said: "The Qing Dynasty cannot be like having no monarch. Besides, the queen does not know whether it is a man or a woman. How can the throne remain empty? There is no one in Pu's generation. The king of Li, the elder is mediocre and incompetent, and the young is too young. I think Prince Jin's son Zai Tian is a suitable candidate. Although he is only four years old, he is smart, handsome, and has the appearance of an emperor. .”

Prince Chun was startled and broke into a cold sweat.All the princes and ministers were also shocked for a moment, they did not expect that Cixi would make such an unexpected decision.Everyone was silent in surprise.No one dared to speak out against it, unless he wanted to court death.

"The country is experiencing troubled times, and the establishment of a young master may be detrimental to the country and the country." Prince Gong boldly said.

"It's better to choose a young prince than an old and incompetent one. With two palaces to support him, Zai Tian will definitely become a wise master... Sister, what do you think?" Cixi turned her head to Ci'an.

"Well, Zai Tian, ​​the son of Prince Chun, is suitable to inherit the throne." Ci'an nodded.

"My lords, this matter is settled. Let Li Hongzao draw up the decree now." A gleam of relief flashed across the stern face of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

At this time, Prince Chun knelt down on the ground and collapsed into a ball.His heart was suddenly surrounded by sudden happiness and nameless panic.

"Qi Ye, what's wrong with you?" Cixi asked suspiciously.

"Going back to the queen mother, I... I feel a little uncomfortable." Prince Jin quickly concealed it.

"Little Lizi, help Prince Chun get up."

"twitter"

All the ministers stood with their hands down.

The sky gradually dawned, and after a while, the imperial court's court mail was sent to the provinces:

The above decree: I have been honored by the emperor Kaowen Zongxian, Emperor Long En, who entered the succession at the age of age, and was honored by the empress dowagers of the two palaces to listen to the government behind the curtain. They have worked hard and made great achievements. Zaiyun, the eldest son of Prince Lichun, Yixuan, succeeded Emperor Wenzongxian as his son, and inherited Datong as the heir emperor...

Seizing Power Chapter 4 Enthronement

The next morning, Prince Jin stopped at the door of his house in a sedan chair, and he got off the sedan chair heavily.Passing through the yard and the living room to the study, the servant greeted him and said, "My lord, you are back."

Prince Jin waved his hand in annoyance, motioning him to go out, but just as the servant turned to leave, Prince Jin suddenly called out, "Has the little prince woke up?"

"Go back to the lord, I just got up and greeted Fujin. I will be pestering Master Luo to learn archery in the backyard!"

"Oh, go, ask the nanny to bring the little prince here." Prince Chun said.

"twitter"

After a while, Qifujin walked into the study, and she looked at her husband suspiciously: "Master, why did you come back? What happened in the palace?"

"The emperor has passed away."

"Ah! Your Majesty is only 19 years old, so young... Your Majesty is so pitiful! You are tired, go back and rest!"

Prince Chun burst into tears.

"Don't be too sad. The emperor has been ill for a day or two. He doesn't live up to it. No one can blame him. Go and rest!" Qi Fujin comforted.

"I can't sleep, Fujin, let me tell you something!" Prince Jin sat down, and Qi Fujin looked at her husband in confusion.

"Don't worry..."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Seeing that he wanted to say something but didn't, Qi Fujin urged.

Prince Jin regained his composure, and finally said, "After the emperor passed away, the empress dowagers of the two palaces summoned all the ministers of the royal palace in Beijing to discuss who will inherit the throne."

Qifujin sat down and looked at Prince Chun nervously.

Prince Jin hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Finally... Finally, it was discussed. I chose... I chose our family's Zaiyun..."

"What? Choose Zai Tian as the emperor?" Qi Fujin was taken aback.

Prince Chun nodded.

"Why did you choose him? He's only four years old! He doesn't understand anything! How can such a doll handle important national affairs?" Qi Fujin exclaimed in bewilderment.

"This was decided by your own sister. She said that establishing a young monarch is conducive to cultivation from an early age."

Qi Fujin cried: "Why is that? What kind of thoughts does she have?"

"Isn't this clear? If Zai Tian inherits to Emperor Xianfeng, he will be the brother of Emperor Tongzhi. She will not be the empress dowager, and she can continue to listen to the government behind the curtain. Fujin, this matter has been settled, I don't think you should think about it." There are too many, and the palace will come to pick them up later."

"No, I won't let Zai Tian enter the palace. A Tongzhi has already been tortured to death by her, so Zai Tian cannot be allowed to go."

"Keep your voice down. If this word is spread, you will be beheaded." Prince Jin hurriedly stopped and said that Qi Fujin's heart was mixed with unknown emotions at this time, because her son was going to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the supreme ruler. at the same time she was very sad, because she lost her son forever.She knew very well in her heart that once Zai Tian left, she could never come back, and this was unchangeable.So she insisted: "I'm not afraid, I just won't let Zai Tian enter the palace, let my domineering sister come and order to kill me!"
