On this day, all personnel from the Jiangbei camp arrived at the gates of Nanjing.
Because of the large number of people and the mighty team, Li Zhen stood at the gate of the city, ready to welcome the little emperor early. Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to station on both sides of the road, but did not stop the people of the capital from watching, allowing the people of Nanjing to watch. The people gathered around to watch, especially the people who already knew that the little emperor and the two queen mothers would arrive in Nanjing. There were many people watching the excitement.
At about 10:20, a team appeared in everyone's sight.
This team was surprisingly Huang Shihai, Zhilan protected by Yang Banhou, Cixi and others.
Soon, the team arrived at the city gate.
Li Zhen walked to the carriage where Ci Xi and Ci'an were riding. He lifted up his robe, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhen, I would like to greet you." When Li Zhen knelt down, the soldiers also knelt down one after another, and they all came to pay homage. The young emperor of Nanjing and the queen mother of the two palaces, Cixi, were quite satisfied when they saw Li Zhen's salute. They lifted the curtain of the carriage to reveal the situation inside the carriage and said: "Master Li, please get up."
Li Zhen stood up and moved out of the way to let Cixi and his party go first. Cixi's carriage moved forward slowly, and the people on both sides of the official road had already seen what was going on inside the carriage.
"The Queen Mother of the two palaces is so young, as beautiful as a flower. The little emperor is still a baby in his infancy."
"I also saw clearly that the little emperor was being held in the arms of a palace maid. The queen mothers of the two palaces were both young and beautiful women. Seeing the women of the two palaces and the little emperor, and these two queen mothers were so young, would they learn from Zhao Ji during the Qin Dynasty went to find a wild man."
"You are looking for death, you dare to say such things."
"Why can't you say, who cares about the little emperor? I only recognize Mr. Li."
"Yes, I only recognize Mr. Li, my cousin's daughter. It was Mr. Li who released the maids in Hong Xiuquan's palace and was able to go home. If it weren't for Mr. Li Zhen, how could the family be reunited."
…
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
After Li Zhen waited for the little emperor's carriage to enter the city, he went straight to the carriage where Zhi Lan was. The carriage door curtain was rolled up, and Li Zhen got in directly. He hadn't seen Zhi Lan and the child for a while, but now he saw the two A chubby child, he was very happy and happy. When Li Zhen entered the carriage, the good people saw the situation inside Li Zhen's carriage again.
"I saw what was going on inside Lord Li's carriage. There was a fairy-like woman inside, who was Lord Li's wife, and two twins who were very cute."
"Shit, I didn't even see it, why did you see it?"
"Humph, I really saw it."
…
A group of people kept discussing this topic.
It's just that no one has noticed a problem in their consciousness.
When the emperor's carriage passed by, everyone should have been silent, and this was also a solemn and solemn moment, but people ignored the emperor's presence, or rather did not consider the emperor's majesty. All eyes were focused on Li Zhen. , covering up the emperor. In other words, this time it was Li Zhen who showed up, and the little emperor, Cixi and others became the foils.
Returning to the Heavenly King's Mansion, before Li Zhen had time to be with his children, he received orders from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.
Both Cixi and the young emperor temporarily lived in Tianwang Mansion as a place to stay.
Li Zhen had just moved the dragon chair, but the little emperor came again. After all, he had to build a dragon chair. The specifications must not be too big. Li Zhen went to the place where the empress dowagers of the two palaces lived, bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, Li Zhen, please pay a visit to your biological mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother. I wonder what the two Queen Mothers have summoned for their ministers."
Ci'an said: "It's okay, I can't see you anymore."
Li Zhen's face turned cold, and he no longer had any good impressions of Ci'an. This woman thought he was the queen of Xianfeng, and she hadn't seen the situation clearly yet. It would be absolutely easy for him, Li Zhen, to treat her.
Li Zhen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am busy with state affairs and have no free time. If I hadn't worked so hard, could I have captured Nanjing? If I hadn't led the soldiers to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, could I have killed Hong Xiuquan? I hope the Queen Mother will respect me." "Those who respect others will always respect them. The Queen Mother is a person who has read many poems and books and understands this truth."
When Ci'an heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
This dog slave dared to teach him such a lesson. He was so courageous.
Just when she was about to order Li Zhen to be punished, Cixi held Ci'an's hand and shook her head gently. Immediately, Cixi said: "Master Li, the Ai family came to you to discuss something with Master Li. The emperor is here. Naturally, Nanjing must be the capital here. Hong Xiuquan, the traitor, changed Nanjing to Tianjing. Many people called it Tianjing, so the name had to be changed. Secondly, after Nanjing was temporarily established as the capital, six officials were needed in the court. We also need ministers from various ministries, etc. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Li."
After hearing this, Li Zhen understood in his heart.
Cixi did this because she wanted to gain more rights.
If the little emperor is running around like a refugee, there is no formal place to go to court, and there are no corresponding officials in the court, it is impossible for the little emperor to take power. Cixi asked Li Zhen to reorganize the court, which was to wait for Li Zhen. After revitalizing and forming the imperial court, she will begin to win over some officials and cultivate her own strength.
Only after the young emperor takes charge can Li Zhen's mark be erased.
Cixi took great pains to gain more rights for herself.
Li Zhen's heart was like a mirror, but he did not refuse, and said directly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will immediately set up six ministers to try to restore the operation of the court as soon as possible." After a pause, Li Zhen asked again: "Dare you ask Queen Mother, if there is anything else Something about that?”
Cixi said: "There is one more thing that I would like Mr. Li to take care of."
Li Zhen said: "Please speak frankly, Queen Mother."
Cixi said with a smile: "The emperor is about to be one year old and needs someone to help him. The Ai family has decided to find two teachers for the emperor. One is Lord Li and the other is Wei Yuan in Guangzhou. I don't know what Lord Li wants. ."
Li Zhen said: "I obey the decree."
Cixi waved her hand, and Li Zhen turned and left.
After Li Zhen left, Cixi took Ci'an's hand and said calmly: "Sister, we still need Li Zhen to stabilize the situation and not fall out. After we get our rights back bit by bit, we will deal with Li Zhen." It’s not too late, you can’t rush now, you have to take your time.”
Ci'an nodded and agreed with Cixi's words.
After Li Zhen left the place where Cixi and Ci'an lived, he kept thinking while walking on the road. Cixi found a teacher for the little emperor. This was obviously a tight spell on Li Zhen's head. Just imagine, once Li Zhen and the little emperor Now that the emperor's teacher-student relationship has been announced, it is obviously impossible for Li Zhen to deal with the little emperor at will.
In particular, Cixi actually found Wei Yuan as the teacher of the young emperor. Once the old gentleman interfered, Li Zhen's situation would be extremely embarrassing. This old gentleman was not an easy man.
Cixi's hand was amazing.
Li Zhen sighed softly, thinking that this woman was difficult to deal with, so be careful.
