Although it was just a small-scale slap, the royal style was unique after all. It was impossible to simply lay a piece of cloth on the ground, so that Cixi and Guangxu would lie on the cloth for a while. Because this time, they were well prepared. Not only were they covered and bedding, but they also brought a few soft couches and served more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs. Therefore, even if they were just a temporary rest in the wild, it would not be simple.

However, it is the end of December, and Beijing is cold and cold. If you are resting in the wild, it is not a good thing. Fortunately, there is a temple near Balizhuang called Dinghui Temple. It was built during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally named Shanfa Temple and later changed to Yunhui Temple. In the 41st year of the Kangxi reign (1702), it was named Dinghui Temple by the royal family. In the 18th year of the Guangxu reign, Dinghui Temple was expanded and renovated. It now covers an area of ​​more than 180 acres. Among the many temples in Beijing, it is a larger temple. It is a good place to rest halfway.

So the convoy stopped in front of the gate of Dinghui Temple. At this time, the presiding monks in the temple were welcomed by the monks in the temple at the door to welcome Cixi and Guangxu. Because in the early days, officials led the army to Dinghui Temple. On the one hand, they informed the monks in the temple to prepare for the reception, and on the other hand, they also controlled the temple and drove most of the monks to the backyard to secretly keep them, leaving only the presiding monks, such as the presiding monks, Zhishi, and other senior monks, as well as a few wise men, novice monks.

After getting off the bus, the presiding monk brought other senior monks to the ceremony and welcomed Cixi and Guangxu into the main hall to worship Buddha. Although they were only here to rest in the temple, the royal family of the Qing court believed in Buddhism very much, so after entering the temple, they naturally had to give the Buddha a stick of incense and worship a few times to show respect. Moreover, Cixi always believed in the sayings of gods and ghosts, and had two nightmares last night, hoping to pray in front of the Buddha to seek the blessing of the Buddha.

So Cixi and Guangxu successively burned the Buddha statues' luggage, incense, and prayed silently. Of course, only they knew what the prayer of the two were.

After burning incense, the quiet room for the two of them to rest was already arranged. In fact, it was a room with two small rooms. Cixi and Guangxu lived in one room, and they had a rest for a while, and then continued to set off. Of course, the two of them used light beds brought from the palace and had already helped them with bedding.

Cixi said to Guangxu: "You are getting up today. I just napped in the car just now and rested here for a while. But we will have to go on the road again and don't sleep much."

Guangxu hurriedly said, "My son is not sleepy, but the empress dowager should also have a good rest, Mr...."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few "boom" sounds, which were deafening, and the ground in the room was trembling, and the dust on the beams flew down. Cixi and Guangxu couldn't help but change their faces. Although neither of them had passed through the battlefield, they could also hear that this was the sound of an explosion, because during the Gengzi Kingdom, the two of them had also heard many such sounds in the palace.

Then there was a loud gunfire, and Cixi said in a trembling voice: "What happened outside?"

At this time, Zaifeng hurriedly came in from outside the house and said, "The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, is the army of the pseudo-rebels. The army of the pseudo-rebels has come. Prince Qing, Yinchang is commanding the army to resist."

Cixi's legs became weak and she fell on the soft couch. Fortunately, she was supported by eunuchs and palace maids. Guangxu was still able to maintain his integrity at this time and said, "Aren't the pseudo-rebellious army stationed in all directions? There are still 4 or 50 miles away, so why did she get here?"

Zaifeng cried and said, "I don't know either! But it is indeed the pseudo-rebellious army attacking Dinghui Temple! What should I do? What should I do now?" Although after the Gengzi State Change, Cixi focused on cultivating Zaifeng and entrusted important tasks, the time was too short and Zaifeng was still too young. He was only 26 years old this year and had insufficient storms. Therefore, Zaifeng was completely at a loss and did not know how to deal with it.

Although Guangxu had experienced several ups and downs, he could still remain calm at this time, but he could not come up with any good ways. At this moment, a few more explosions came from outside, and the sound of gunshots became even more dense. As a result, an explosion seemed to fall into the temple. The shock and vibration of the explosion shook the two vases in the room and smashed them. It was also scared that the eunuchs and the palace maids screamed.

At this moment, Cixi suddenly sternly said, "Shut up any of her names, and if you scream, drag it out and beat it to death."

Cixi's words were indeed effective. The eunuchs and palace maids immediately did not dare to scream anymore. Someone covered his mouth. At this time, Cixi was completely calm. After all, she was a person who had experienced several great storms. She knew that she was the backbone at this time, so she was determined not to be in chaos. After the initial fear, Cixi also thought of a way to deal with it and said, "What's the matter with pseudo-reverse attacks? We also have army and temples to guard, what are we afraid of! We still have 3,000 troops in the Summer Palace. As long as we are transferred to support, we can rescue it. Zaifeng, you can send someone to the Summer Palace immediately and order Zaitao to lead the army to rescue. Then tell the army that we must guard Dinghui Temple. As long as we can persist until reinforcements come, we will be rewarded."

After listening to Cixi's arrangements, Guangxu and Zaifeng were also much more stable, because in this way, there was indeed a high chance of turning danger into safety. But at this moment, Prince Qing Yili and Yinchang rushed in again in a hurry. Yili said in a trembling voice: "Empress Dowager, Dinghui Temple has been breached by the pseudo-revolutionary."

When Cixi heard this, she felt a "buzzing" in her mind, her eyes turned dark and she fainted.

It turned out that after the Military Commission formulated a plan to intercept Cixi and Guangxu fled south, the Beijing office and the special forces stationed in the Sifang Railway Station military camp conducted a joint implementation negotiation. To complete this plan, the most important thing is to set up a temporary station between Beijing and the Summer Palace that can accommodate more than 800 special forces, so that after Cixi and Guangxu evacuated from Beijing, they could intercept calmly. Otherwise, it would be too late to depart from the Sifang Railway Station military camp when Cixi and Guangxu evacuated from Beijing.

However, the Beijing office is between Beijing and the Summer Palace, and there is really a station. There is a large mansion near Wanshou Temple, located about 4 kilometers northeast of Dinghui Temple, covering an area of ​​about 1,500 meters, which can accommodate more than 800 special forces soldiers.

This house was purchased a year ago. The original owner was a bannerman from Zhengbai Banner. His ancestors were once the Jiala of Zhengbai Banner. However, in this generation, the family had fallen into the ground, so he could only buy the ancestral home. Of course, this is not to say that the Beijing office has the ability to predict the future. First, it is a cunning rabbit. The Beijing office needs to set up more strongholds in Beijing to diversify risks. Moreover, it is rare to encounter such a large house. Second, there are really some plans to intercept Cixi. Guangxu planned to stay in the Summer Palace for a few days every 2 or 3 months, and he had to take Guangxu with him every time he went there. This has become a habit. Therefore, considering that this house is near the road from Beijing to Summer Palace, and it can hide people, it may be useful, so he finally bought it. Now it is just right to use it.

Just the night before yesterday, the People's Army's special forces entered the house and lurked. Although the negotiations between the East China Government and the Qing court had not yet broken down, the East China Government's prediction of the negotiations was extremely likely to break down, so the special forces were ordered to prepare for interception in advance.

Sure enough, just yesterday, the negotiations between the two sides broke down and the war broke out. Moreover, the People's Army successively captured Tianjin New City, Langfang, Zhengding and other places in the afternoon, and entered the military camp of Sifang Railway Station. Cixi was so scared that Guangxu did not dare to stay in Beijing for more time. Just this morning, he was preparing to move to the Summer Palace first.

As soon as Cixi and Guangxu and his team came out of the palace, they were under the close surveillance of intelligence personnel at the Beijing office. It can be said that the convoy's itinerary was completely under the surveillance of intelligence personnel at the Beijing office. The special forces originally planned to wait for Cixi, and Guangxu and his team attacked and intercepted when they walked near Zizhuyuan, but they did not expect that their team would rest in Dinghui Temple.

The commander of the special forces is Yang Rui. He used to be a sniper of the Marine Corps who crossed the fleet. When he established the special forces, he took the initiative to sign up to form the special forces. Now he is one of the highest commanders of the special forces, and his rank is colonel. This time, special forces in Beijing is extremely important, so the command center of the special forces also sent Yang Rui to Beijing to take charge of command. In fact, Yang Rui is not old, only 33 years old this year, and he also prefers to go to the front line to command operations.

After receiving the news that Cixi and Guangxu and his convoy were resting in Dinghui Temple, Yang Rui made a quick decision after brief thought and decided to take the initiative to attack Cixi and Guangxu and his convoys at Dinghui Temple. Because the primary target of this interception operation was Cixi and Guangxu, it would be better to capture the two of them, and it would be acceptable to kill them. However, if according to the original plan, if Cixi and Guangxu's convoys were intercepted near Zizhuyuan, although the special forces had strong combat power, Bijing's troops were limited, only half of the Qing army. It is of course possible to intercept, but it is difficult to form an encirclement and annihilation in the wild. Therefore, Cixi and Guangxu had a high chance of escape.

Dinghui Temple can be regarded as a relatively closed space. Once Cixi and Guangxu entered this space, with the existing forces of the special forces, they could not be strong enough to form a siege. Cixi and Guangxu's activity space was also greatly restricted, and it was very difficult to escape. Therefore, in this space, the grasp of the captive Cixi and Guangxu was greatly improved.
