"Emperor, what do you think we should do?" Ci An glanced at Li Ye. Since he had handed the matter over, he would hand it over thoroughly.
"My son believes that in order to prevent any chaos, we can ask Prince Chun to be the witness of Fengtai Camp and control the 12 battalions. The Gong Prince will lead the Nine Gates Commanders, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang to maintain order in the capital. If anyone changes, kill without mercy.”
Li Ye looked at the three of them and gave them his plan.
It could be said that it was airtight.
Killing palace maids and eunuchs covered up the royal family's shame. As for those eunuchs and palace maids, they were originally Cixi's people. There were not many good people. If they died, so be it.
There was no need to mention controlling the surrounding soldiers.
"I respectfully respect the Emperor's decree." The two bowed and accepted the order.
Soon, the entire capital was under martial law. Ci Xi's men were quickly taken down. However, it was more troublesome to count the henchmen. It was not that simple. Rong Lu was naturally taken down immediately. He was even dismembered without interrogation.
An emperor, an empress dowager, two kings with real power, and two Han officials with real power were forces that no one could stop.
Cixi, who was originally under house arrest, was still very calm. He had already sent people to spread the news that Ci An did not have military power. Most of the others would only watch from the sidelines. However, Rong Lu and Prince Chun were his people. He had made his nephew the emperor to guard against Ci An.
However, he had overlooked one point. This time, it was not Ci An who wanted to touch him, but Li Ye. Therefore, Prince Chun stood on his son's side without hesitation.
Lord Xianfeng had handed over the Nine Gates and the 12th Battalion of Fengtai to him. The generals inside were all his men. Once he went, no one would dare to move.
When there was no result, Cixi understood something and accepted the fact calmly. She could accept that the winner was king and the loser was a bandit.
Moreover, there might be a chance!
Li Lianying was already trembling in fear. An Dehai was appointed as the new head of the palace, and Kou Lianlian was promoted to the position of chief eunuch.
"Empress Dowager, please move!"
The leader of the guards expressionlessly led two groups of guards into the room. Li Ye did not follow him in. There was nothing to see in a forty-year-old woman.
However, she wasn't as ugly as the photos in the future. She should have been quite beautiful when she was young.
Cixi smiled and stood up. At this moment, he had not lost hope, so he did not shout at the top of his lungs. Instead, he pretended to accept his fate.
"Why didn't the emperor come in to talk to this widow? "Cixi saw Li Ye and waved at him from afar.
"Empress Dowager!" Since he had already been seen, Li Ye did not need to hide and walked over openly.
"Sigh, I didn't expect my good nephew to really grow up. I thought you were still that ignorant child.”Seeing that Li Ye did not call her Imperial Father, she could not help but be stunned. However, seeing that she still had an innocent look on her face, Cixi sighed.
To be honest, Cixi had treated Emperor Guangxu quite well at the beginning of the port. She even entrusted her son with something. However, when it came to power, this woman changed.
"My son is still young and insensible!" Li Ye replied calmly. After all, he was an elder. A conspiracy was more important than a conspiracy. Politeness was politeness. They were two different things.
After a while, she would have taken action to take down Ci An, but she did not expect her chess piece to ruin it.
Ci An did not wait for Li Ye to continue speaking and strode forward…
However, history had been quietly changed.
The twelve-year-old Emperor's personal expedition caused an uproar in the world. Empress Dowager Dong even announced that she would not listen to politics from behind the curtain. She was unwilling to leave the King of Parliament and the ministers, and directly handed the Yellow Springs to his injury. This caused those people with insight to be in an uproar.
"This is too childish. The country will be destroyed in the hands of a child!”Some people even asserted.
However, no matter what they said, they could not stop Li Ye from taking over the government.
Temple of Heaven
Dozens of acres of open space were currently crowded with officials in colorful court clothes.
As the drums sounded, dozens of dragon flags with yellow backgrounds and golden edges opened up the way in front. The imperial guards walked over from afar with spears and sabers in their hands. They stood on the imperial road.
Surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, Li Ye got off the Dragon Carriage and went up to the Temple of Heaven alone. He came to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest.
"I pray to the heavens for good weather!”
"My son, white yellow soil, please send me thick soil for a bumper harvest!”
"Three bows to the ancestors, protecting the mountains and rivers forever!”
Following the ceremonial officer's singing, Li Ye completed the task of defeating the enemy. Following that, the ceremonial officer began to recite the funeral oration. It was a long and lengthy speech of tens of thousands of words, making Li Ye almost drowsy.
The sunshine of government affairs was particularly eye-catching. Even Li Ye, who was young, could not stand it. In the end, several old pedants with white beards had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, the royal guards could come up at this time and take these old men out for the imperial physicians to save them.
"Blessed by the heavens, I live forever."
The golden seal that represented the highest authority was finally handed over to Li Ye.
Once the national seal was in his hands, it meant that the transfer of power was complete. The six departments of the Cabinet and Military Affairs Office only recognized the seal and not the person, unless it was another coup.
Kangxi was thirteen years old and he was twelve years old. He was one year ahead of the so-called Divine Ancestor and could be considered to be the first of his kind.
"Crap!" Li Ye, who had just received the jade seal, suddenly made an action that caught everyone off guard.
He actually cut his braids in front of everyone!
"Your Majesty! You can't!"
"Leave the head, leave the hair, leave the hair, leave the head. This is the ancestor's instruction of the Qing Dynasty!”
"You can't, you can't! Why is the emperor so muddle-headed!"
Immediately, everyone who had finally stood up fell to their knees again. Some of the clan elders were even furious and prepared to jointly write a letter to Emperor Guangxu, preparing to use the power of their ancestors and the Empress Dowager to dismiss Emperor Guangxu.
Even Ci An, who was watching from afar, frowned and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
If he didn't give a reasonable explanation this time, he probably wouldn't be able to get through.
