Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Sure, it's not impossible..."

"any solution?"

Cixi was shocked and asked quickly.

Liu Ye smiled and said, "You give up all the glory and wealth, and come with me to the remote mountains. We will live together as husband and wife, and I will feed you well every day."

amount……

Cixi's face froze, and she hesitated. Giving up all the glory and wealth, was that a joke? All this was so hard-earned? How could she just give it up?

Liu Ye looked at Cixi's expression and continued, "There is another way."

"What's another solution?"

"Follow the example of Dorgon. I will strive to become the regent, and then you can marry me. Wouldn't it be the same then?"

Cixi's face darkened immediately, and she said unhappily, "You want to have a beautiful life. If you become the regent, what will happen to my son? Do you want to ascend the throne directly?"

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Tsk, look how scared you are. That's all the courage you have. Without courage, you still want to live with me forever? Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I will be the pillar of my Qing Dynasty, and you will be your empress dowager..."

Cixi twisted her body and cried, "You are not serious at all. Let me tell you something serious again. The emperor is my biological son. I only have this one son. How can I, as a mother, not feel distressed? You want to be the regent, but you must have the ability. Don't forget, you are not a Manchu. This is simply impossible!"

"This is the only son? Hehe, that's easy. Let's try again and have another one, right?"

Having said this, Liu Ye turned over again. To be honest, the beauty in his arms was much more powerful than Dong E and Qing Xue. After all, she had experienced many ups and downs, and her skills were much better than those two. Liu Ye was at the peak of his life, so naturally he liked this kind of perfect harmony even more.

"Ah, don't do anything rash, Ye Zi, I'm warning you..."

The two of them struggled for a while and finally stopped. They had to stop because it was going on too long. They were afraid that the eunuchs and palace maids outside would become suspicious. It was too unsafe to stay in the palace.

Cixi lay in Guo Ye's arms and whispered, "Yezi, there is something I want to tell you."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

Cixi said in a deep voice: "Ye Zi, now all the affairs of the court are decided by me, Dong Bian and Lao Liu. However, in the government, Dong Bian and Lao Liu are on the same line most of the time and have repeatedly denied my opinions. If this goes on for a long time, I, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, will become a mere decoration. I am afraid that as time goes on, the position of the Emperor will not be guaranteed! Ye Zi, I am yours now. Can't you find a way to help me separate the two of them completely? At the very least, I can't always let them suppress me!"

Liu Ye was shocked. He had not expected that the three of them would start to have disagreements so soon. It was true that Cixi was a person with a strong desire for control and had a natural sensitivity and pursuit of power. However, she was a woman after all and lacked maturity in political strategy. Yixin was the most talented and open-minded of the entire Qing royal family. Moreover, as he was in charge of power, he naturally hoped that the government would follow his strategy in the years before the emperor took power. Conflicts were inevitable between the two of them. As the empress dowager, Ci'an's position became sensitive. Whoever she helped would mean that the other would be suppressed. Cixi lacked experience and was naturally suppressed by the other two.

Liu Ye hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you mean now?"

Cixi's face was slightly gloomy, and she whispered, "I want to transfer you back to the capital and enter the Grand Council as an assistant minister of the Ministry of War to help me counter the influence of the Sixth Brother in the court!"

puff!

Liu Ye just took a sip of tea and spat it all out!

This woman is so bold! She wants me to check and balance Yi Xin? Who in the entire court will actually do the real work? Forget about whether she can rival Prince Gong with her seniority and power. Even if she could, forget about realizing her ideals. I'm afraid nothing will get done. With the two of them tripping each other up, there's no way anything will get accomplished!

"Lan'er!"

Liu Ye said helplessly, "You are not the founding Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and Prince Gong is not the Dorgon who dominated the government and had omnipotent power. It's just that we have different political views. There is no need to be so irreconcilable. Let me tell you, the entire Qing Dynasty now depends on Prince Gong. Without him, the court is even more chaotic than it is now! You'd better calm down..."

Cixi said displeasedly, "What do you mean I should be quiet? Do you want me, the Empress Dowager, to always have to obey him, the Prince Regent? How can this be allowed?"

Liu Ye replied, "Lan'er, I've told you that you're not the resourceful Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. You're still inexperienced in government affairs. If you can gradually mature, then it'll be okay to get rid of Prince Gong. But now is definitely not a good time. It might even lead to bad things. If you piss him off and cause trouble, you'll lose everything. Don't forget what Dorgon did. Even Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was forced to marry..."

Cixi said angrily, "Well, after a few days, I will officially give him the title of Prince Regent and let him marry Yixin. Is that okay?"

Snapped!

Liu Ye slapped Cixi's butt hard and whispered, "You dare? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make sure you don't get out of bed for three days. Do you believe it?"

Whoops!

puff...

Cixi finally turned her anger into joy. After all, this heartless guy still cared about her. With this, what else was there to be dissatisfied with?

"Then what do you say I should do? I can't be left alone with you and have to be bullied by those two bastards."

Cixi answered with a pout, looking like a little child.

Liu Ye chuckled and said, "Alright, don't worry. It will come to pass sooner or later. Prince Gong has no ill intentions, he just wants to revitalize the government. What are you worried about? In a few years, the emperor will be ruling the country himself. By then, you will all return power to the court. How can there be such a deep hatred between uncle and sister-in-law? Your biggest task now is to be my backer and serve me well!"

Cixi rolled her eyes at Liu Ye fiercely and said in a hateful voice, "Come on, if I hadn't been careless for a moment and had been bewitched by you, would I have ended up like this, so distracted every day?"

"Hehe, isn't this good? Thinking about me every day is much better than thinking about that useless late emperor, right? Hehe, go ahead and pour me a cup of tea..."

Cixi was helpless. There was nothing she could do. She had been completely controlled by him. Whatever he said was the way it was. As long as the throne remained her son, what did he care about his future? As long as this guy could make her happy, what did he care about his power? He was right. Sooner or later, power would be returned to the court. By then, she would still be the high and mighty Empress Dowager, and the Prince Regent would inevitably become Prince Gong.

"Okay, Master, I'll go get you some tea!"

Cixi pecked Liu Ye's cheek gently, got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and served him a cup of strong tea. Liu Ye blew on the tea leaves gently, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Not bad, fragrant but not greasy, with a deep and lasting flavor. This cup of fragrant tea is just like you, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, charming but not coquettish, bright but not gaudy. Coupled with your indulgent moans, it really makes me, the master, unable to extricate myself..."

"Pooh!"

Cixi spat softly. This guy was becoming more and more slick. He wasn't like that before. But, this was what made it interesting...

"Then tell me, compared to the two of them, who is better among us?"

Hahaha……

Liu Ye laughed and whispered, "If that day comes and our family sleeps on the same quilt, then you will know who is taller and who is shorter.

"Get lost! You wish!"

Cixi said in a hateful voice, "You ungrateful and heartless man, you are chasing after Qin Muchu. Don't think I didn't see that look in your eyes today. What's with that look in your eyes when you look east? You keep staring at places that people shouldn't be looking at. Watch out, you dog head!"

Forehead!

Liu Ye blushed for the first time. Damn, this bitch's eyes are too sharp. He just stared at her unconsciously, but she saw it! It's really terrible!

Liu Ye smiled awkwardly, "Um, um, you actually saw it, that wasn't it, that wasn't just my curiosity, hehe..."

"Hmm, curious? Are you planning to take her in too, so she can sleep under the same blanket as you?"
