Chapter 170 Take Action!

At this time, Li Lianying had already called two eunuchs who were tall and thick-waisted. They came directly to Qi Xiang who was collapsed on the ground and said with a sneer:
"Your Majesty, please save some dignity of the Heavenly Family. I will help you to have a rest."
At this time, Qi Xiang was restrained by two eunuchs. Some anecdotes in the palace, such as the gift of wine and the gift of white silk, were instantly thought of by him. He was so frightened that he started to cry and scream:
"I won't go, I don't want to go, dear daddy! Dear daddy, I know I'm wrong, it's Weng Tong and these bastards who are causing trouble! I've known for a long time that these Han dogs are not good people, they all have ulterior motives!! Dear Dad, I was wronged. Whatever you say will be whatever it is. Isn’t it an edict to sin against oneself? I will write it right away!!"
His desire to survive arose and he struggled wildly. The two eunuchs could not hold him down for a while. Not only that, everyone actually smelled a foul smell in their noses, and the emperor was so frightened that he became incontinent.
After witnessing such a bizarre scene and hearing the same words in their ears, both Tan Sitong and Weng Tonghe looked ashen, and then looked at each other, feeling disheartened and unable to utter a single word.
Only Tan Sitong sighed, looked up at the sky, shed tears, and said sadly:
"Fifth brother, brother Hu, I have tried my best, but the situation is like this, I can't help you!! Brothers, I will take a step first, and I will come back to make amends to you!"
Hearing the desolation in Tan Sitong's words, Fang Linyan knew that he could not wait any longer. He coughed slightly, directly controlled Li Gongzhang's body and stood up and said:
"Li Lianying, what is the third article on the ancestral injunction tablet outside the west side of Qianqing Palace?"
Usually Li Gongzhang is quite polite to Li Lianying, especially when he has committed a big taboo recently. When the two met head-on, Li Gongzhang gave in first and called himself Eunuch Li.
This is true for powerful ministers like Li Gongzhang. You can imagine the attitude of other ministers towards Li Lianying. This is a typical dog-fighting! And Li Lianying hasn't been called by her first name in an unknown amount of time. (Cixi is usually called Xiao Lizi)
Hearing Li Gongzhang's sudden rude words, Li Lianying immediately looked over and said with a smile:
"Who still remembers the bullshit on a monument! What, is Li Zhongtang going to fail in the exam?"
Li Gongzhang smiled faintly at this time, reached into his arms, and then suddenly took out a Frangi revolver, pointed it directly at Li Lianying and pulled the trigger! !
There was a loud "bang", and the distance between the two was already within ten meters. Li Lianying was shot in the right chest and immediately stayed in place, showing an expression of fear, confusion, and disbelief.
He took half a step back, and then slowly looked down at his chest in a daze. Blood was already pouring out from the gun, quickly turning his purple mandarin red!
It was obvious that the pain had not passed, but Li Lianying was already stunned. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was too low to come out. He raised his hand to cover his chest, and then showed a sad smile, He slid softly along the pillar behind him!
At this time, I heard Li Gongzhang's old voice echoing in the Yangxin Hall of the Summer Palace:
"The ancestral precepts stele outside the west side of Qianqing Palace was erected by Emperor Kangxi, the Holy Lord of the Qing Dynasty. There are four holy precepts on it, which should be kept in mind by all descendants and ministers."
"First, anyone who loses an inch of land will not be allowed to enter the spiritual throne of the ancestors."
"Second, the harem must not interfere in politics."
"Third, eunuchs who interfere with politics will be killed without mercy."
"Fourth, never add gifts."
When he said these words, Li Gongzhang's eyes were staring at Cixi. After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Lianying:
"Eunuch Li, now you know what is written in the third article on the ancestral inscription tablet, right?"
Li Lianying gasped for air and smiled sadly...but she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't say a word!
But Cixi stood up immediately,
He shouted in a sharp and shrill voice:
"Guard!! He Wenkun!!!"
There was such a loud noise inside. As long as the guards outside were not dead, they would definitely hear it. So before Cixi could finish her words, more than a dozen people rushed in. The leader was Cixi's confidant, who was on duty today. He Wenkun, the head guard!
This guy rushed in with his men, drew his knife without saying a word, and said loudly:
"What are your orders from the Queen Mother!!"
Cixi was so angry that she stood up, her face livid, then she pointed at Li Gongzhang and said:
"Get this old, crazy wild dog from the Aijia!"
He Wenkun immediately said loudly:
"Scum!"
However, after he agreed, the two guards next to him took action and stabbed a dagger directly into his waist. The other person covered his mouth and wiped He Wenkun's throat with a dagger! !
Slit the throat at the top and stab the liver at the bottom. This is a direct attack.
The other guards were also stunned, but before they could react, they were chopped into pieces by the people around them. For a moment, they were still alive, rolling around on the ground, screaming incessantly.
It turns out that Li Gongzhang has already deployed people in this Nourishing Heart Hall! ! Most of the guards responsible for guarding the Yangxin Palace are his people.
In fact, this is not because Li Gongzhang was too powerful, but because the Qing court was too useless at that time.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, Cixi and Li Gongzhang are both internal and external, and they control the power. In fact, they are interdependent and have a close relationship.
Cixi believed that she was irreplaceable to Li Gongzhang, so she took no precautions at all. Li Gongzhang's intention of deploying people was just to protect himself. After all, his brother caused a lot of trouble.
As the saying goes, it is not unusual for an emperor to have any extreme reaction to such a person who threatens his position. There are not too many examples in history of emperors killing their wives, brothers, fathers and sons for the sake of their full strength.
An old fox like Li Gongzhang asked himself how strong his relationship with Cixi could be. It can be compared to the love between husband and wife, brother, father and son, so it is normal to be defensive.
The smell of blood instantly spread throughout the palace. Cixi had been in power for more than 40 years. Although she had launched the Xinyou coup, and countless people had fallen to the ground with just one order, such a bloody face-to-face fight was still not possible. I really had never experienced it personally, so my face suddenly turned pale, and I pointed at Li Gongzhang and said with a trembling voice:
"Okay, okay, okay!!"
Li Gongzhang said calmly:
"The Queen Mother is very thoughtful. When she was still Concubine Yi, she teamed up with Prince Gong to do great things. Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Prince Zheng Duanhua hanged themselves, and they refused to die in peace. When the great scholar Sushun was beheaded, , and even wrote five and a half words of regret in his own blood."
"Zhuge has always been cautious in his life. I have offended too many people in my life, and there are many people who want my life, so of course I will be more cautious when doing things."
Cixi stared at Li Gongzhang, gritted her teeth and said:
"Li Jianpu, I understand you now. It turns out that you really want to be Song Taizu! A second official like you is worthy of my trust and worthy of the Qing Dynasty! You will be punished by God in the future!!"
Li Gongzhang looked up to the sky and smiled:
"Hahaha, what a joke!! I was promoted to Jinshi by the late Emperor (Daoguang), and I fought for the Qing Dynasty for decades. I'm sorry for the Qing Dynasty. How can I start talking about it? Queen Mother, you have been in power for these decades, and you are greedy for power. He was extremely thoughtful and brought the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty into a dire state. He even bullied the emperor and even treated state affairs as child's play. I don't know who will be punished by God!"
"Besides, I am acting according to the ancestral precepts set by Emperor Kangxi today. Women have been in politics for decades, and the Qing Dynasty is about to be destroyed by the Yehela family. Now in this situation Under such a good situation, the Queen Mother still betrays the country! Who can blame me at all!?"
After hearing Li Gongzhang's words, Cixi turned pale with anger. She had been in power for decades and had always been in trouble. When had she ever been pointed at her nose and scolded like this?
More importantly, at this time, not only was the situation stronger than the others, Li Gongzhang made sense in every word, and also presented the holy teachings of Emperor Kangxi, which made it difficult for Cixi to reply. She was already in her seventies. He pointed at Li Gongzhang and said, "You, you, you." After a long time, he fainted without even catching a breath.
At this time, the situation in the palace suddenly changed. Neither Emperor Qixiang nor Weng Tonghe and others expected that Li Gongzhang would directly betray him at this critical moment!
You must know that Li Gongzhang and Cixi, both external and internal, have controlled the government for decades. The entanglement of interests between the two has long been entangled. Not only are they inseparable, but they are also closely related. Today, without any warning, they directly Falling out.
At this time, Li Gongzhang looked at Weng Tonghe and said:
"Master Weng, please take a step to speak."
Although Weng Tonghe didn't understand what kind of medicine Li Gongzhang was selling in his gourd, he thought it couldn't get any worse than it was now, so he followed Li Gongzhang out. The two old foxes had been fighting for their whole lives, and there were many things that didn't need to be said in detail. Just keep it tacit.
So after a few mutterings, a compromise was reached, and Old Man Weng finally came back with a livid face.
The two old men first came to the Empress Dowager Cixi to check. There was a row of bead curtains in front of Cixi's seat, which made it difficult to see clearly. However, Weng Tonghe was tall and burly. When he leaned down to check, he directly blocked the eyes of the others. His eyes were completely blocked, and Li Gongzhang was blocking the remaining space next to him.
Although the old man was an imperial master, he was really not a weak scholar. When he was taking the examination, he heard on the road that there were bandits who were robbing and hurting people and committing many evil deeds, so he rode forward, one by one. The horse will annihilate it with a single bow.
Although these bandits only have a dozen or so people, they are still very skilled in martial arts.
When he was in charge of academic affairs in Shanxi, he also took the initiative to exterminate a group of horse thieves next to him, and he killed them first and then patted them down. After the horse thieves surrendered, he immediately turned his back and killed them. Therefore, he was not inferior in terms of ruthlessness and ruthlessness.
So at this time, Weng Tonghe looked at the pale Cixi in front of him, then at Li Gongzhang next to him, and then thought about how embarrassed Qixiang had been crying and even excreting and urinating, so he became cruel and deliberately shouted:
"Queen Mother? Queen Mother?"
As he said this, he covered Cixi's mouth and nose with force! Li Gongzhang was responsible for holding down his hands.
Cixi is an old woman who is nearly seventy years old this year. How could she withstand such a torment? She only struggled a few times at the beginning and made a sound of "uh uh uh", and soon she was as limp as a dead fish. Breathed out.
