Chapter 258 Fallen People at the End of the World

Concubine Zhen was very surprised. No wonder that the Empress Dowager Cixi knows her every move in Yihexuan. After doing it for a long time, her favorite octagonal glazed well turned out to be Cui Yugui's secret way!

Cui Yugui said to Lai Chuanwu again, "General Lai, please also jump into the well. From now on, there will be no rogue generals in the world."

"Bulls!" Lai Chuanwu shouted, "Cui Yugui, you son of a bitch, how dare you fool me into jumping into the well!" There is a secret in this well. As soon as I jump down, there is no life! Your boy will immediately go to ask the Empress Dowager Cixi for credit!"

"General Lai, I want to kill Empress Zhen and you. Do I need to take such a big circle? I can take your life this morning. Now, it's even easier to take the life of Empress Zhen!" Cui Yugui said slowly, "General Lai, I advise you to hurry up and jump down quickly. After a long time, Dong Fuxiang's people will come over. Those Gan Jun are a group of jackals, and the Empress Zhenfei really can't live!"

Lai Chuanwu is still hesitant.

Concubine Zhen said, "General Lai, I believe that Chief Cui didn't lie. If you don't believe it, let me jump first."

Outside Yihexuan, the voices are noisy, and Gan Jun is approaching Yihexuan.

The last support of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Gan's military, has always been bloodthirsty and easy to kill. The Gan army suppressed the Hui people in the northwest, and chickens and dogs were not left wherever they passed. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Cixi transferred Gan's army to Beijing, and the Qing nobles, including Ronglu, also strongly opposed it. If this wolf division entered Beijing, no matter whether it was good or low, everyone would suffer. But the Empress Dowager Cixi was single-handed, and Ronglu and others had no choice. Now Gan Jun has not only promoted Beijing, but also entered the Forbidden City. Concubine Zhen fell into their hands. How can there be a good one?

Lai Chuanwu sighed, "If you want to jump, I will jump first. Empress Zhenfei, if something happens to me after going down, the Empress must not jump.

"Fuck you!" Cui Yugui urged.

Lai Chuanwu jumped into the well and only heard a splash, and a voice came from it: "Fuck, why isn't it Zhenfei?"

"The Empress is behind!" Lai Chuanwu cried angrily.

Princess Zhen bowed to Cui Yugui: "Thank you, Mr. Cui, for saving my life! From now on, there will be no Zhenfei in the world, and there is only a woman named Qin Zhen.

"Miss Qin, see you later!" Cui Yugui arched his hand and said.

Princess Zhen jumped down the octagonal glazed well.

Water splashes in the well.

Cui Yugui threw Bai Lian into the well, lifted the boulder beside the well, pressed it on the mouth of the well, clapped his hands, and walked away.

Gan Jun roared and rushed into Yihexuan.

......

In the Zen room, two women sat quietly.

"Sister Jane, did I make you sad?" Jingchen said carefully. Before her death, Empress Dowager Cixi was not at home with Concubine, but now, this old woman finally ended her life in despair, and Concubine Zhen has also become a helpless duckweed and fell to the world.

"No." Qin Zhen shook her head: "I heard that when she died, there was no one around her!"

When Yuan Shikai's new army entered Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi's most reliable Gan army completely exposed the nature of the jackal. Instead of firing a shot at Yuan Shikai's troops, they looted the most prosperous part of Beijing and fled west with gold and silver treasures.

When the news came, the Empress Dowager Cixi lay in the bedroom in the Forbidden City and shouted hoarsely, but no one answered her. The eunuch maids had long run away without a trace, and the emperor was imprisoned in Yingtai by her. Zaiyi, the king of Duanjun, whom she trusted the most, had already run to Yuan Shikai's camp and expressed his obedience to Yuan Shikai.

The cry of Empress Dowager Cixi lasted all night. The next day, the new army entered the Forbidden City. In the empty bedroom, they saw the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had already swallowed her breath. The corners of her mouth and pillow were full of frozen blood!

Two women stared at the snow outside the window.

The most powerful woman in the Qing Dynasty, the old empress dowager who once stamped the mountain, ended her extremely glorious life in desolation and despair! Cixi's life surpasses countless male emperors in history! She has been in charge of the Qing Dynasty for 50 years, a rare dark period in Chinese history and a rare period in Chinese history. However, under her power, she turned out to be heroes, such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi, Zhang Zhidong, Peng Yulin, Li Hongzhang... These are rare wise men in Chinese history, and But they fell at her feet willingly!

With this, she is a legend!

However, in sharp contrast to the legend of the Empress Dowager Cixi is the decline of China!

The legend of a woman has forged unprecedented darkness in China!

Maybe this is just a coincidence!

If there was no Empress Dowager Cixi, would China avoid the Opium War, the burning of the Yuanmingyuan Garden, the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the humiliation of the Eight-Nation Alliance?

The answer is no!

Perhaps, the Empress Dowager Cixi, like Emperor Chongzhen, is just a witness to the decline of the dynasty, not a maker!

The root of the Qing Dynasty is buried in two thousand years of civilization and in two thousand years of vast classics!

When the Warring States period ended, or when the great Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty who respected Confucianism came to the political stage, they buried the root of China's humiliation in the 19th century!

......

A gust of wind, snowflakes flying.

The two men walked into the Zen room and knelt down thinking about Qin Zhen and Jingchen: "Please say good to the Empress Zhen, Protector of the country and Shuge."

"Mr. Cui, Mr. Lai, please get up quickly." Qin Zhen said softly, "There is no mother here, and there is no grid."

The person who came was Cui Yugui, the former second general manager, and Lai Chuanwu, the former commander of the Xiaoqi camp.

Lai Chuanwu and Zhenfei together found the Forbidden City from the secret road in the octagonal glass well and sneaked out of Beijing.

Concubine Zhen has nowhere to go. She dares not go to find her brother Zhirui. First, Zhirui has been on the blacklist of Empress Dowager Cixi, and she is also unpreserving. Second, if Zhenfei goes to Zhirui, she will not be able to wrap the fire in paper after all. Even if the Empress Dowager Cixi dies, Emperor Guangxu will still come to her, and Princess Zhen really doesn't want to exist in this world, let alone see that man again!

Finally, Zhenfei thought of Minxiu on Wutai Mountain. In this troubled world, it is really a good way to become a monk and stay away from the troubles of the world. Now it seems that Minxiu's original choice was really wise, which made her avoid the bloody wind of Beijing and live peacefully outside the mortal world.

So, Lai Chuanwu escorted Zhenfei to Baiyun Temple and changed her name to Qin Zhen.

Lai Chuanwu sent Zhenfei to Baiyun Temple and hurried away. He knew that Zhou Charter was about to enter Beijing, and the Zhang Jun brothers could not spare him. From then on, Lai Chuanwu hid his name, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Qin Zhen wanted to be a nun like Minxiu, but Master Xu Yun, the host, disagreed. Xu Yun said that she was not a Buddhist, but promised that she could live with Jingchen with the help of Baiyun Temple.

Qin Zhen has lived in Baiyun Temple for half a year, but she is also quiet. She just doesn't understand why Master Xu Yun didn't accept her, but he didn't drive her away.

After Lai Chuanwu went down the mountain, he met Cui Yugui and told Cui Yugui the whereabouts of Zhenfei. Lai Chuanwu is kind-hearted. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Cui Yugui lost his backer. However, this former second chief housekeeper is rich and can take care of Qin Zhen's life.

Cui Yugui was also righteous. He went to Baiyun Temple twice and sent some living items to Qin Zhen. Therefore, in this world, there are only four people who know that Qin Zhen is still alive and live in seclusion in Baiyun Temple, Xu Yun, the former Hejige Jingchen, and Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu. Four people kept their mouths shut. Under the world, no one knew that there was another Qin Zhen in the world.

After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Cui Yugui ran out of Beijing, took gold and silver treasures, hid her name and hid in the gate head ditch outside Beijing. Cui Yugui followed the Empress Dowager Cixi, who used to be above 10,000 people and did a lot of unreasonable things. Now that the Qing Dynasty has collapsed, those enemies will definitely not let him go. Although he has some martial arts skills, seven or eight men can't get close to him, but at this time, how dare he dare to swagger in the market? The enemies If you don't fight martial arts with him, a black gun behind his back can kill him.

Speaking of which, Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu, like Qin Zhen, are fallen people in the world.

Now, these two people come to the door together. Qin Zhen vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it. However, Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu are her lifesavers and depressed people who are intolerable by today's government. Qin Zhen is also very happy to see that they are safe.

Jingchen said, "Two gentlemen, please sit down."

"Thank you." Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu carefully sat by the coffee table. Jingchen has been a nun for three years, and the noble spirit on her body is still very strong. In front of her, Cui Yugui and Lai Chuanwu dare not be presumptuous.

"Mr. Cui and Mr. Lai, where are you two from? What's the matter?" Qin Zhen asked.

Lai Chuanwu took a look at Cui Yugui. Cui Yugui hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal. It's the Spring Festival. I just came to see the master and brought some New Year's goods to the master by the way. Well, they are all rice cakes and so on. They have been sent to the kitchen."

"Mr. Cui, didn't I tell you before that there is no Zhenfei in the world, only Qin Zhen. You should call me Miss Qin." Qin Zhen said, "Moreover, now it is the Republic of China, and there has been no master or slave for a long time. I heard that in Beijing, men are called gentlemen and women are called ladies. When everyone met, no matter how old the official was, he did not kowtow, but shook hands.

"Isn't it?" Cui Yugui said, "Princess Zhen... Miss Qin, Master Jingchen, you two don't know yet. There's a big deal in Beijing."

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhen and Jingchen asked in shock.

"Lao Cui, don't be shocked here and scare Miss Qin!" Lai Chuanwu said, "The two girls, in fact, are not a big deal..."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Cui Yugui said.

"It's a big deal for officials, and for us ordinary people, it's none of our business!" Lai Chuanwu said, "Actually, it's running for president."
