C594 Admit defeat in an all-round manner

North of the Forbidden City, above the Jingshan, inside the Kiki's tower. Empress Dowager Ci An stood at the window and looked at the Forbidden City which was shrouded in rain and fog. The heavy red walls and yellow tiles could not cover up the killing intent that soared to the sky from the various forces.

"What a great place, yet it is filled with an aura of death. I doesn't want to stay here anymore in this lifetime, so I must leave this place …"

Ci An's words were meant for Fuqing to hear. Ever since their accidental encounter, the twenty-nine year old girl had an unexplainable feeling in his heart.

Ci An kept reminding himself to be rational, but once the river of desires flooded over, it was not something that could be suppressed by reason. This time, Ci An was uncharacteristically strong and changed his image as a good person. This was more or less due to his unbalanced attitude.

The Qing San Ye was not stupid, he had once gotten married, but unfortunately his wife's body was too weak, and she passed away after following him for four years. The Third Master and his wife had a good relationship, after his wife died, he had always been disheartened and kept working as an official, but his life was delayed just like that.

All men who valued friendship and friendship were extremely sensitive; they were able to detect that woman's peculiar gaze towards him. To be honest, he had long seen through the little thoughts that Ci An had towards him.

Some people said that the management of the feudal dynasty Palace was very strict, but that was all bullshit. Even the Manchu himself had a proverb, 'dirty Tang, stinks of cold, and a clear snot!' He was talking about the internal affairs of the empire that were extremely dirty.

Stealing sister-in-law, stealing brother's daughter-in-law was not a rare thing. It was also a common for concubines to move around without any concealment, and there were also quite a few eunuchs and daughter-in-law who tried to plunder.

Even within the imperial palace, Ci Xi was having an affair with his brother-in-law, playing dirty with the eunuchs couldn't escape the eyes of Manchu. Ci An could already be considered to be pure self-love, there were really no rumors of Ci An appearing in Beijing.

To be honest, San Ye was a little moved, but he was a man with a sense of responsibility. He knew that for a woman like Ci An who was calm and collected, once he was moved, it meant that he had to wholeheartedly devote himself into him.

The environment Ci An was in was extremely dangerous, it could be said that he was surrounded by enemies from all directions.

The Qing San Ye did not wish for Ci An to lose his mind. He hoped that Ci An would be safe and sound, but the moment he was related to her, Ci An's heart would definitely be thrown into chaos.

"The empress dowager is relieved. I believe that Xiao Letian will definitely win, and as long as he leads troops into the capital, they won't be able to refuse even if they wanted to …" San Ye respectfully said.

"Hehe, then does Xiao Letian really not know how to rebel?" Ci An said to the Fuqing with a smile.

"No, I'm absolutely sure …" I even know that Xiao Letian would not even accept an official position in the imperial court! The empress dowager didn't understand this person. He always gave people a feeling of being separated from the masses … "

"How should I describe it? It was the ability of the god's eye to see the world … He seems to have already seen through everything, and all the changes to everyone are within his grasp … "

"Why did the Tanggu let Zhou Mingkui pacify the local officials and not let his military officers accept the local administration? This meant that he had never intended to separate the Tanggu from the rest … If my guess is correct, Xiao Letian should be renting it from the imperial government. "

Ci An was silent for a while, and then asked worriedly, "I wonder how the battle is going, with eighteen thousand eight hundred soldiers, more than three thousand Huai Army, and so many war horses … Can Xiao Letian win? "

Qing San Ye's brows were twisted into a knot. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "He will, he will definitely win. How could he, who was able to defeat Ouroboros Clan's strong army, be defeated?"

Just as they were talking, a commotion broke out in the Jingshan. No one knew what was going on, only that their wails were shaking the sky. Ci An no longer had any intention to chat, and quickly let Zhou Daoying go down to scout.

Within moments, Eunuch Zhou came running back. "Ah, the empress dowager …" Oh no, the Empress Dowager Xi and the Emperor have both come, crying as they climbed the mountain. They said that they wanted to apologize to you! "

"What?" Could it be that Xiao Letian had already arrived? That shouldn't be right. The outer city was very quiet with no soldiers coming in or out, right? "How could this be …"

At this time, Hairy # 2 said, "There's no need to guess, I think Ci Xi already knows what the new troops are doing in Europe, she's already completely admitting defeat now … This time, there's no need to bargain anymore. Ci Xi must agree to all of the empress dowager's conditions! "

What Er Mao said was not wrong, when Ci Xi led Emperor Tongzhi to walk in front of Ci An, she and his son were already crying so hard that their faces were covered with tears, their eyes were as swollen as peaches.

The Empress Dowager Xi and the little emperor kneeled in front of Ci An and said, "Good luck to the empress dowager, little sister has apologized …" Shortly afterwards, the little emperor also sobbed and kowtowed, "The empress dowager greets the empress dowager. Calm down …"

Behind Ci Xi, An Dehai and countless other eunuchs were kowtowing, their foreheads covered in blood. "Please calm your anger, Empress Dowager. Please calm your anger …"

Ci Xi really did put in some effort, his bitter meat strategy was not bad, even though it was raining cats and dogs, he was still kneeling on the stone floor, soaked to the point that he could not even stand up from the rain.

"Sister has been instigated by a scoundrel, slandering him for believing in his words. Please calm your anger, sister …" The younger sister is willing to go to the cold palace, only begging the older sister to pity our child … The mountains and rivers of the Great Qing cannot be disturbed! "

Everyone in the Kiki's tower sighed, "It's all about moral kidnapping and bullying Empress Dowager Ci An. They always try to use the imperial court's situation to force Ci An to back down, and these days, people are just being bullied!"

"Zhou Daoying... "Bring the emperor in! It's the adults who will carry all the troubles. What does it have to do with the children? Don't let the rain rain make you sick …"

When Ci An's strange voice reached Ci Xi's ears, he knew that it was bad. This was not Ci An's usual style, as the palace change had completely changed his sister's appearance.

It was no wonder that Ci An changed his appearance. Anyone who had experienced such a huge change would feel a little touched. Ci An was a good person, but that did not mean she was an idiot.

Although the little emperor Tongzhi was a little rebellious, he still had to act towards his mother at the most critical moment. He stood up and walked inside the house, and the moment Ci Xi saw him, he twisted his waist, reminding Tongzhi to quickly say good words.

Little Emperor Tongzhi was one of the special emperors in the Qing Dynasty. Firstly, he was Xian Feng's only son. Furthermore, Tongzhi was very young, he was only ten years old this year, and was indeed a loved one. Ci An truly liked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Come, come, come. Quickly wipe the emperor's face …" You are Great Qing's hope, how can you take the rain? "You still don't have an official government, even if the sky falls, our lord will be the one to bear the brunt …"

Tongzhi kneeled on the ground and allowed the eunuch to pull at him, but he did not get up, "Empress Dowager, I know my Mother was wrong. I only ask for the empress dowager to forgive my mother's life. The two palaces in Great Qing Dynasty were left behind by my royal father, so why am I called Tongzhi? Isn't it just an indication that the empress dowagers is supporting the governance of the imperial court together? "

The little Emperor harrumphed, "Empress Dowager, I know that my mother has made a mistake, used up her brain, and made up her mind to fight for power. But who in the imperial court doesn't?" It's just that my mother has done it more clearly … "Someone once said, 'Only eternal benefits, no eternal enemies'. After this incident, my mother will never again have the thought of competing with the empress dowager for power …"

"I beg the empress dowager to give my mother a chance on behalf of the empress …" Great Qing Dynasty Clubhouse must be reconciled! " After saying that, he kowtowed.

Ci An was stunned, "Aiya, the little emperor is too big, what you said is very reasonable, I wonder who taught you that? Let me guess, are those what Xiao Letian said? "

Ci An turned his head and looked at Hairy # 2, "You told me to tell the Emperor, didn't you? "I don't believe that those Confucian Scholars will be able to come up with such a straightforward reason …"

"Get up, what can I do? I had actually told her what she wanted to do long ago.

Ci Xi, who was standing outside the hall, quickly followed up after hearing this, "Big sister is so benevolent, how could little sister dare to refute big sister's words. You are the empress dowager of the Eastern Palace, naturally everything is yours, whatever you say is what you want, I can use the treasure now!"

At this time, a group of people came to the foot of Jingshan, and the one leading them was none other than Prince Kung Yi, he was also aware of the latest news. When he heard that Xiao Letian had truly fought a few great victories in the Europa area, he was so frightened that his legs went soft.

When they heard that Xiao Letian's new army could even defeat the foreign invaders, and then think about those Eight Flags Soldier who smoke big cigarettes, what chance did they have?

Thinking back to the intelligence that Maylor had brought back, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green. How could such a strong enemy start a war in such a hasty manner?

"Empress Dowager, Chendi is guilty ah …" Please forgive me, empress dowager! " Yi Yu knelt beside Ci Xi and immediately followed up with a kowtow, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Yi Xuan has already brought his men out of the city. He wants to stop the soldiers who are going to battle, he has gone to negotiate with Xiao Letian.

Ci An sneered and said, "Since uncle has a brilliant plan, then say it, I will listen attentively!"

Ignoring the empress dowager's mocking words, he kowtowed and replied, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, this subject estimates that Xiao Letian will need at least another four hours before he arrives at Beijing. During this time, we must reach an agreement within the imperial court.

"We don't have any objections to your conditions, empress dowager. There's no problem with the promotion to Fuqing, I've already settled the matters with the people. As for the foreign affairs, we'll grind them together with the Chinese Officer.

"Then what about Xiao Letian? The Hungry Wolf is already at the Beijing's side, how are you going to send him away? " Ci An asked.

"Money..." We'll give him money! Xiao Letian did all this just to get more money, to give him tax exemption, to give him the name of the mainland, if it really did not work out, the imperial government would still be able to collect 1,800,000 silver … He, Xiao Letian, has one or two thousand soldiers, so this amount of money is enough to fill his appetite … "

"Hiss …" Mao sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking to himself, "Godfather is the one in big business, I don't have to be afraid of anything with a gun in my hands. With a million taels of silver, there will be several ocean-going cargo ships in my godfather's hands. By then, the volume of the silver trade will increase even more …"

"Who knows, maybe this million yuan could be exchanged for a steel armored ship from Europe. Anyway, Prussia will definitely give a preferential price to his godfather, so let's do it this way. Long live the godfather!"

No one cared about Hairy # 2's excitement, as everyone was already arguing about how to deal with Xiao Letian.
