Zaifeng was a handsome child, wearing a new dark blue jacket, and a string of Buddhist beads on his chest were spotless. At first sight, he knew he was a young man who paid great attention to appearance. When he saw me, he shook his horse's hooves and gave a respectful gift. Long live the Tongyin Mountain who had not changed his voice. I quickly helped him up and said affectionately: "Zaifeng, you and my brothers are at home again, so there is no need to do this. Let's talk to each other."

Zaifeng had a confident smile on his face. He was a noble child of noble birth. Naturally, he had a confident and elegant temperament, which was in sharp contrast to Prince Lao Chun's mature and restrained appearance. However, his eyebrows were a little immature. If it weren't for his tall figure, I would even think he was a child. I smiled at him and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How old is this year?"

Zaifeng smiled and said, "The emperor forgot that I have forgotten? The slave is eight years old this year."

No way. I laughed silently. I originally planned to find Zaifeng to be a strong supporter and let him go to the palace to be a guard commander, or something, so that I can support me at any time. But this little guy is only eight years old, so what can I do? But then again, this guy is born with a big skeleton. If I don’t say it, I thought he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

I smiled and asked, "What book are you studying? Do you have the skills to practice martial arts? Can you shoot bows and arrows?"

"Reply to the emperor, I have been studying in Nianzong for three years. I usually practice some fists and feet with my sixth and seventh brothers, Zaifeng, as he is a young man, and he speaks sternly, and does not look like a child at all.

I waved my hand and signaled him to sit closer, and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you alone and not other brothers to see you?"

"I know because I am the prince." This child is so extremely smart. I smiled and pointed to the couplet in the study and said, "Do you know what this couplet means?"

"Slaves can save us, Ama wants us to respect the emperor's grace."

I became more interested in him. I deliberately frowned and sighed, and asked him, "Do you know why Ama wants to write this?"

Unexpectedly, Zaifeng also sighed and said, "Because there is an emperor in our family, we must restrain everything and avoid being taboo."

"Did you figure it out by yourself?" I asked him.

Zaifeng shook his head and said, "This is what Ama teaches. But the slave thinks that the emperor is the emperor, so who dares to offend our family?"

Alas, after all, I am still a child. If I continue to think about this, it is not a good thing for him and this family. I deliberately wake him up and said, "Fifth brother, do you know that the biggest person in the world... is not your emperor brother..."

"I know that there are foreigners and the queen mother...", Alas, at this young age, I know. Zaifeng looked at me and blurted out: "When I grow up, I must share my worries for the emperor and let the emperor be the true supreme lord of the world!"

I couldn't help but smile, and felt sad. When I was a child, I often had ambitions. But what about the future? I sighed in my heart and said, "Let me all come in. I want to talk to them."

Although Zai Bing is the fourth brother, the eldest and third brother died early, and the second brother is Zai Tian, ​​who entered the palace early and became the emperor, so he is already the largest among the four children. The other two children, Zai Xun and Zai Tao are still very young. Zai Tao is only three years old and can't say anything, so he told me to study hard and respect my parents and let them go out. Zai Bing left a deep impression on me. Although he was only seventeen years old, he was tall and full of flesh. He knew that he was a brave man and didn't speak much, and he seemed a little dull. An idea gradually came to my mind.

When I said goodbye, I mentioned it to Yihuan and asked him to submit a memorial to let Zaiyan enter the palace to be a guard. I slowly transferred him to me to protect me. My brothers were guarding me, so I felt much more at ease. Yihuan agreed and chatted a few more words, so I went to Prince Gong Yi's house not far away. Before leaving, Yihuan took a 100,000-two silver note and said that I was asking me to hand in the office.

After staying at Yi's house for nearly half an hour, it really confirmed Yi's evaluation of Weng Tonghe. Even Prince Tongchun pointed out that this person would definitely ruin the country in the future. When he saw Yi's prince Zai Cheng, Yi had already known my purpose in advance and took out 100,000 taels of silver notes. I took it and said goodbye.

Xiao Dezi followed me all the way today, and he received a lot of benefits. Naturally, he smiled happily. Seeing that I had not returned to the palace, he whispered to me: "Your Majesty, it's better not to go to the other princes' houses. If the emperor is tired, how about going back to the palace?"

I wondered, "Why?"

Xiao Dezi smiled sneakily and said, "The iron hat king of this dynasty is the two families. Both of them have accepted the donation. How dare you not admit the other princes, Prince Beile?"

I suddenly realized that this slave was still considerate to me. I smiled and said, "If you don't go run, your purse will probably be thinner, right?"

"The emperor is wise. Although Xiao Dezi's purse income is low, seeing his master's tired appearance, the slave really doesn't want to call his master to be punished for a few thousand taels of silver. Besides..." Xiao Dezi expressed his loyalty. I was about to praise him a few words, but he smiled terrified: "The master was rewarded by the slave yesterday, saying that the emperor had not had a badge of the master's brand for several days, so he asked the slave to mention it to the emperor."

Master Zhen is Concubine Zhen, who is Guangxu's favorite concubine, but I don't like her so much. If I were the kind of emperor who speaks the same thing, I would definitely indulge in the harem day and night. But now I am Guangxu. How can women delay my own future, the future of the country, and even my life! He shook his head and said, "I have no time lately, and the queen still has to go."

Xiao Dezi smiled. It was probably because Concubine Zhen didn't give it much, so she said something that was interesting enough. If she didn't say more, I signaled to go back to the palace.

When I returned to the palace, I went to pay my respects to Cixi first, but I felt a hint of chill. Cixi was chatting with a child who looked handsome. When I saw me coming, I introduced it without any yin and sunshine. It turned out that the child was Pu Jun. I said a few perfunctory words. Pu Jun looked very awe at me and bowed to me. But I didn't respect me very much. I didn't feel much respect in my eyes. I didn't dare to show anything on my face. I said a few words. I told Gong Chun and the two families to raise a total of 200,000 taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, Cixi was furious and threw the silver notes underground, sneering: "Sixth Master is really getting more and more generous, and she doesn't leave any pension money. 100,000 yuan. This time, Sixth Master paid 100,000 yuan. When Tongzhi was alive, he only gave 20,000 taels of Yuanmingyuan. Emperor, you still have a great face... I can't ask for this money..." (When Tongzhi was in power, Cixi had the plan to return to power and enjoy her old age. She wanted to rebuild the Old Summer Palace burned by the British and French coalition forces. However, she had no money, so she asked all relatives and nobles to pledge the donations. The ministers headed by Prince Gong resisted softly. Yi only pledged 20,000 taels, angering Tongzhi and Cixi.)

I was shocked and knelt down and said, "Dad, calm down, my son is incompetent, so I will scold you."

Cixi might also feel that she was talking a little heavier, and snorted coldly and remained silent. I didn't dare to get up, and the situation became awkward.

Pu Jun was still smart. He laughed and picked up the silver notes and presented them to Cixi, saying, "It's all the wishes of the two princes. The Empress Dowager was alive and she didn't lack the silver for the prince. But I was filial and kind to rule the world in the Qing Dynasty, so I can't let my subjects be filial."

This child was smart and said this reasonably, and he gave Cixi a way. Sure enough, Cixi received the silver note and said to me: "Get up, emperor. It's not your fault. It's all because I'm old and not welcome, blocking my way, right? Did Lao Qi think so?" He looked at me with a cold look, and it made me feel cold. Could it be that the conversation between me and Yihuan reached her ears so quickly? It's impossible. As soon as I return to the palace, I come to pay my respects immediately. How is it possible?

He explained awkwardly: "My son dare not, nor does Prince Chun dare not. Dad calm down."

"Hmph!" Cixi snorted coldly, stood up, greeted Li Lianying, "Little Li, please send the emperor back."

This moody old witch was extremely nervous every time she saw her, but at this moment she asked Li Lianying to take me away, but I didn't feel relieved. Instead, I felt cold all over. I followed Li Lianying silently. At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout outside: "The Queen is here!"

The savior is here! I felt ecstatic in my heart. But then I felt sad for myself. When will he get rid of the shadow of this old witch?
