In the quiet and deserted courtyard, there were a man and two women. The woman was both in her early twenties, charming and charming. One of the women had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, graceful and calm, like a clear spring; the other woman had a faint desire on her face. There was still hatred in her eyes, and the kind-hearted woman was holding a five or six-year-old child. The child was timid, with big eyes that were blinking, showing a sense of hesitation, without any liveliness and cuteness of a child.
He sat on the woman's lap, leaning against her, and remained silent.
This scene is quite desolate.
This child is none other than Xianfeng's only son, Emperor Tongzhi who once ascended the throne.
As for the two women, the one who is quiet and calm is the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the one who has hatred in her eyes is the Empress Dowager Cixi. Although the family of three is not restrained in the yard, there are people watching after going out, which makes them very unfree.
Cixi sat next to Ci'an, stared at the little emperor, and said in a slow but gritted tone: "Son, your Emperor's Ama was poisoned to death by Yi-that dog thief. He killed your Emperor's Ama. Although Li Zhen helped you destroy Yi-, but Li Zhen also destroyed Aixinjueluo's empire. This is a dog thief who usurped the throne. You must remember that it was Li Zhen who usurped the throne. You must remember Li Zhen. It was Li Zhen who made Aixinjueluo Luo's empire is gone, and you are still young now, but remember to take revenge and restore the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and restore the glory of the Aisin Gioro family in your lifetime."
"mother,……"
As soon as Tongzhi started, he was interrupted.
Cixi's charming face had a hint of ferocity, and she said in a deep voice: "I call you Huang Niang."
A trace of fear flashed across Tongzhi's young cheeks, and he timidly said: "Yes, the emperor." After a pause, the little emperor continued: "I heard that there is no emperor now, and Li Zhen is not the emperor. Who can overthrow him? Woolen cloth."
Cixi frowned and said, "Who told you that?"
A cold look flashed in Cixi's eyes. Her son was her only hope. If her son didn't have ambitions and didn't agree with her, what was the use of doing so much?
Tongzhi shrank back, even more afraid of Cixi.
"Tell me, who told you."
Cixi raised her voice and her expression was gloomy and cold.
"Wow, wow, wow,,,."
The little emperor couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to cry loudly.
Ci'an glared at Cixi, patted Tongzhi on the back, and calmed the little emperor down. Immediately, Ci'an smiled and said: "My dear, be good, tell the emperor who taught you this."
Tongzhi sobbed a few times and said, "Eunuch Han."
"Han Laiyu, this slave dog, bitch, should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
Cixi's eyes were full of murderous intent, and she clenched her hands into fists. Her long nails were like sharp blades, shining with a strange luster. Cixi did not expect that Han Laiyu would come into contact with the little emperor and instill ideas that were not good for her. It was simply outrageous. forgive.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "Sister, from today on, Han Laiyu is no longer allowed to contact the emperor. In the beginning, it was Han Laiyu, a bitch, who helped Li Zhen, which led to the imperial family being controlled and the Qing Dynasty being destroyed by Li Zhen. , Today’s incident reminds us, and we must teach this bitch Han Laiyu a lesson, let him know that even if we, mother and son, are down, we are not easy to bully. Dogs are dogs after all, and no matter how much we jump around, it will not change the slave’s life. ."
Ci'an frowned slightly, a hint of decadence rising in his eyes.
In these years, Ci'an devoted himself to worshiping Buddha and gave up almost everything except taking care of the little emperor.
Only Cixi never gave up.
Ci'an sighed softly and said: "Sister, Li Zhen has grown up early. We can't fight him. Let alone competing with Li Zhen, we can't even deal with a small Han Laiyu. Why bother to work so hard and risk your life?" ."
Cixi shook her head and said, "Han Laiyu is just Li Zhen's dog."
"Oh, the Queen Mother is very angry."
A voice like a duck's voice came, and Cixi and Ci'an's expressions changed greatly.
The sound of brisk footsteps came, and a man in his forties stepped in. The person who came was none other than Han Laiyu, but Han Laiyu had already stopped using the whisk or put on the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty. Instead, he put on a neat suit. He was wearing a bow tie and leather shoes. His braids had long been cut off and his hair was combed back. He had rosy cheeks and a faint smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Han Laiyu had lived a very good life in these years. As soon as he walked in , when he came in front of Cixi and Ci'an, a hint of joy appeared on the little emperor's face.
The reason was that Emperor Tongzhi yearned for the outside world.
Chatting with Han Laiyu, this five or six-year-old child can learn about interesting things outside.
Han Laiyu stared at Cixi and said calmly: "The president has founded the country for several years. It has developed to the present. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the territory has been expanded. Ask yourself, can the Qing Dynasty do it? In the hands of the late emperor and Daoguang Ye, the Qing Dynasty only has The only way we were bullied was when we were insulted by foreigners and couldn't even straighten our backs, but it's different now. When we meet foreigners, we hold our heads high and stand tall, who is afraid of whom?"
"Over the years, I finally understand it."
"Only a great president can save our country. He is thinking about the country and the people. The current Prime Minister Zeng Guofan, Vice Prime Minister Shi Dakai, and President Zhao Liewen are all people who serve the country and the people. This group of people is united. People who work for the people are selfless at heart. You stay in the courtyard all day long and don't understand the people's thoughts. They can have enough to eat and live a stable life, and they have already forgotten about the Qing Dynasty."
"As the country develops, the power controlled by the president continues to expand."
"I can tell you clearly that with your little tricks, you won't be able to get on the stage and you won't be successful. In the end, the only people you will hurt are yourself and the late Emperor's only child. If you still think that you are a mother , and a mother's conscience, then put away your ambitions and don't continue to cause trouble, because your tricks are useless and can only harm yourself and your children."
Han Laiyu looked at Cixi with pity and sighed softly.
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Cixi screamed: "Han Laiyu, you are just a dog. It is not your turn to teach the Ai family a lesson. The late emperor was not kind to you when he was still alive. He valued you everywhere, but it is a pity that you do not." He is a white-eyed wolf, the late emperor is really blind."
"Hey,."
Han Laiyu sneered and said, "That's right, you only treat me as a dog."
He looked up at the blue sky, with a smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "I have no limbs and am a eunuch, but the president has allowed me to regain my dignity. I, Han Laiyu, am also a decent person now. I am a eunuch." I am an upright man, and I have adopted a grandson and have a family heir. As for the late emperor's respect for me, well, I have repaid the late emperor, and I am worthy of the late emperor."
"Repay, where is your reward?"
Cixi bared her teeth and claws like a mad woman.
Han Laiyu stared at the young emperor and said calmly: "Without me, would the late emperor have any heirs?"
After saying that, Han Laiyu turned around and left.
Cixi froze in place, looking at Han Laiyu's leaving figure, and could not help but shudder.
"Calm down and let the child be happy."
A voice like a duck's voice came, getting smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared into the air.
Cixi stared at Han Laiyu's leaving back, then glanced at the timid Tongzhi, her expression gloomy and uncertain. Gradually, the desire in Cixi's eyes took over. The corners of her mouth raised, and she said coldly: "Li Zhen is so powerful. So what if the country is rich and the people are strong, so what if foreigners dare not come to China to cause trouble, it has nothing to do with me. I just want the Qing Dynasty to reappear, and as long as Li Zhen dies, Li Zhen must die."
