The palace is majestic and gorgeous, and there is also deserted and dilapidated in the corner of its majestic and gorgeous back. The place in the palace is dilapidated, and there are some elderly concubines and palace maids living in it. Some of them have never seen the emperor in their lives. The palace gate is as deep as the sea, and there is almost no possibility of going out when they come in. When they were young, they had fantasies, but as they grow old, everything no longer exists. For them, life is lingering day after day. All they accompany them is the dream of a girl, and perhaps the love they once had. These people are forgotten in the palace. Their existence seems to have little to do with the world, and even they themselves seem to have forgotten their existence.

At this dawn of noisy guns and cannons, Tu Xian brought several guards to protect Concubine Lan and Prince Zaichun quietly appeared in this dilapidated courtyard. There is a secret here, and only two people in each dynasty know this secret. This is the emperor and his guard commander. Xianfeng made a gesture when Tu Xian left, which was to ask him to take Concubine Lan and Prince out of the palace. There is a secret passage here. This passage was a fear that it would not be able to stand in the pass when the Qing Dynasty first entered the pass, so he quietly dug it. If the emperor was trapped one day, it would be used for the emperor to escape. Unexpectedly, nearly 200 years have passed since the completion of this secret passage.

Emperor Xianfeng made sufficient preparations for his last moment. As the person who accompanied him to the last time, he chose Empress Ci'an. This woman has always been the most peaceful woman in the harem. The education she received since childhood made her know what the motherly charity in the world, so she never jealous and always silently waited for the arrival of Xianfeng in her position. Although she was also jealous, her jealousy would only be kept in her heart.

The gunshots outside the palace were getting closer and closer. Xianfeng waved his goodbye to the ministers and came to the queen's bedroom with the eunuchs. This woman who had been neglected by the emperor for many years finally waited for her husband at the last moment of her life.

The imperial physicians had already prepared the Hedinghong. Xianfeng poured a glass of wine for the queen for the first time, and then poured a glass for himself. The palace maids and eunuchs had already gone out, leaving only this couple who were silently watching the glass of wine that ended their lives. The rebels came in at close range and were almost killing the queen's bedroom. The guards of the inner guards were desperately defending the emperor's chance to die peacefully. Xianfeng looked at the queen and smiled softly. This was one of the few smiles that Xianfeng had ever smiled at the queen. Although the smile was a bit desolate this time, the queen was still satisfied because she had the right to die with her husband. If she could not own it in life, she would be enough to own it in death.

The poisonous wine was slowly drunk, and the shouts of killing outside began to become so far away. The world returned to peace after a tumultuous cycle. In the late autumn of 1858, Emperor Xianfeng and her queen ended their not-so-long lives in the queen's bedroom.

The remaining imperial guards and the great guards completely gave up their resistance after Emperor Xianfeng died because their mission had been completed, but they did not choose to surrender. Most chose to escape, while a small number chose to commit suicide to find the emperor they had been loyal to for life. When Yi Xin saw his brother and sister-in-law on the bed, bleeding from his seven orifices, he found that they died peacefully, and the queen even had a faint smile on his face. The emperor went, and the military discipline ministers he trusted most, Sushun and Jingtai, found a house and followed the emperor with a rope. The others secretly took advantage of the chaos, hoping to escape from the sky. After this chaotic night, they never saw them appear again.

The battle in the palace stopped, and the sound of fighting that lasted for a night was calmed down. Standing in the middle of the Ganqing Palace, Yi Xin realized that he was so close to the emperor's throne. Yi Xin slowly approached the dragon throne that symbolized the highest power and sat on it carefully. At this moment, he felt that he truly possessed the world.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Yi Xin looked down at the bottom, and his subordinates had already knelt down on the ground and cheered in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." Yi Xin's feeling reached a good peak at this moment.

Tan Qing, who hurried in from outside, came to everyone, knelt down and shouted long live to Yi Xin, and said, "Long live the remarks, no prince Zaichun and Concubine Lan were found in the palace." At this time, Master Zhou also thorned out and said, "Your Majesty, the jade seal was not found."

Yi Xin's joy was greatly reduced by these two messages, and she said with a stern face: "Block the nine gates and search for them. You must find them. There is also the jade seal. I don't believe they can fly out of Beijing."

The palace became quiet, and Yi Xin successfully accepted the palace and the Royal Garden of the Old Summer Palace. But the chaos outside the palace had just begun, and a cleanup began.

Holding his beloved woman, on the dragon bed where Emperor Xianfeng favored his concubine, Yi Xin was sprinting happily. After the passion, the woman leaned in Yi Xin's arms and moaned softly.

"Baby, from today on you will be the queen of the Qing Dynasty." Yi Xin said to the woman in her arms:

"Your Majesty, I dare not expect that the position of the queen should be done by the great concubine. I am just a little destiny." Yi Xin said coldly after hearing this: "I said you are, that lowly woman, what qualifications does she have to be the queen? His father saw that I had the hope of becoming the emperor and proposed a marriage contract with the late emperor. This immortal man, when he saw that the third brother became the emperor, he immediately joined the third brother's camp. If her daughter had not been mine, I think he might not be willing to marry her daughter to me. Now that I have gained power, the first thing I do is to deal with them."

In thirty years, Hexi in thirty years, when Yi Xin was the most popular heir to the throne, many ministers in the court were very enthusiastic about him, and the prince's mansion was busy all day long. Who knew that Xianfeng had outstanding soldiers and seized the throne. The ministers' attitude towards Yi Xin changed greatly, for fear of being implicated by Yi Xin, and some stayed away from him, and some even pretended not to see each other when they met. Yi Xin's door began to become deserted like a desert. Even his father-in-law abandoned himself. In the past, Yi Xin was careful all day long, for fear that his emperor brother would suspect him, so he could only endure all this. But Yi Xin's hatred for these people had been accumulated for a long time, and at this moment he finally got the opportunity to release and suddenly burst out.

Master Zhou is now the chief minister of military aircraft. This think tank who has been following Yi Xin and loyally advised Yi Xin finally got a reward. As Yi Xin's most loyal subordinate, when he saw the list of purges released by Yi Xin, Master Zhou immediately knelt down to Yi Xin and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this move is absolutely not allowed. Now that the capital has been settled, what is needed is to appease the hearts of the people and the hearts of the ministers. Especially many people on this list, there are countless disciples and old officials, some of them are ranks of foreign provinces, and they hold heavy troops. After our cleaning, not to mention that all the officials in the city are in danger, these foreign ministers must have the determination to fight with the emperor to the end. This is an extremely unfavorable factor for the emperor, you can stabilize the world. If the emperor wants to deal with them, it is not too late to wait until the world is stable, and then settle the score with them. I hope the emperor will think twice."

If Yi Xin could calmly think about Master Zhou’s words, he should have found that Master Zhou’s words were absolutely correct. But now Yi Xin has obviously been blinded by hatred, and the energy that has erupted after years of depression is terrible.

Yi Xin glared at Master Zhou and said, "Damn it, you actually pleaded for them? If it weren't for your loyalty to follow me, I would have done it together."

"Your Majesty!" Master Zhou wanted to say something, but was coldly interrupted by Yi Xin. "Don't say it, my patience is limited, let's do as you do." After Yi Xin said that, he threw the list in front of Master Zhou, and turned coldly left the Ganqing Palace.

When Yi Xin left, Master Zhou felt that his bones had been pulled away. He knelt on the ground for a long time and no longer had the strength to get up. I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside the hall had begun to become a little dark. The first night after Yi Xin seized Beijing came silently.

Master Zhou struggled to stand up and walked out with difficulty. Tan Qing at the door had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Master Zhou with a lone expression coming out, Tan Qing quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what are the instructions for you to ask me to come in?" Zhou Shiye glanced at Tan Qing powerlessly and handed over the list silently. Then Master Zhou closed his eyes powerlessly.

Dang, Dang, Dang, the big bell of the palace city rang, indicating that another dark night is coming.

As the night came, Beijing City began another sleepless night. There were troops everywhere, torches everywhere, and former princes and ministers were raided, and the sad crying in the sky alarmed the entire city of Beijing. Overnight, more than 200 ministers and nobles suffered the fate of raiding. The men were detained, and the women were regarded as official prostitutes. In the face of these sudden blows, some of them were like clay sculptures, some of them cried loudly, and some simply used three-foot white silk to end their lives, so as not to be innocent and humiliated.

The house search lasted for three days, and the execution grounds in Caishikou were also busy for three days. In three days, more than 200 former imperial officials were cut off their heads, and blood stained the entire streets of Caishikou red. On the afternoon of the third day, heavy rain fell from the sky, blood flowed everywhere, and blood filled the entire city of Beijing.

On this afternoon, the loyal Master Zhou leaned on his recliner, looked at the rain outside the door, and sighed helplessly.

"The world, is this the inevitable path to compete for the world?" Master Zhou could not give himself an accurate answer.
