After hearing this, Yang Rui basically understood the whole story of the matter. He originally looked down on Huang Jin very much. First of all, of course he instinctively disliked the eunuch. Moreover, Huang Jin's servile style in front of him also hated him deeply. He was also quite disdainful of Huang Jin's behavior of betraying Cixi and Guangxu. After all, no one would like a traitor. However, after knowing the causes and consequences, his view of Huang Jin changed. At least this guy could still think about avenging his wife, which was considered a personal one.

In fact, Huang Jin and Ping'er have been a vegetable household for 3 or 4 years. If you want to say that the relationship is indeed true, it is definitely not very deep. Bi Jing is not a real couple, and their status in the palace is very different. Although Huang Jin was a little sad when Cixi ordered Ping'er to be beaten to death, she had never thought about avenging Ping'er at that time. She dared not be resentful to Cixi, and could only sigh that Ping'er's fate was not good. Although Huang Jin had heard some news about the current situation at that time, chatting with others in private, and talking about how long the court could last, Bi Jing was still in the palace and was in control of everyone's power of life and death.

However, after Dinghui Temple was captured by the People's Army, Huang Jin's mentality changed tremendously. First of all, Cixi's defeat was right in front of her and she no longer held the power of life and death. Therefore, Ping'er's tragic death turned out from Huang Jin's heart again. Secondly, Huang Jin also had to consider himself that in the troubled times, he would save his life first. Although Huang Jin didn't know much about national affairs, he was seeking profit and avoiding harm, driving in the wind, and even climbing upwards, etc., were all the specialties of eunuchs. Otherwise, not to mention being a senior eunuch like Huang Jin, he would probably not be able to survive in the palace for a day.

Huang Jin had been in the palace for more than 30 years, climbing from the bottom of the eunuch to his current position. This kind of skills was pure. Therefore, when the People's Army broke through the side hall where he was hiding, Huang Jin immediately chose to surrender. When Zhu Yan asked who knew Cixi and Guangxu was hiding there, Huang Jin immediately thought that the People's Army had broken through Dinghui Temple and would sooner or later find Cixi and Guangxu. It would be better to offer it out first. As a result of his understanding, he thought that he might have a good result in the East China Government. However, when he confronted Cixi and Guangxu, Huang Jin felt somewhat ashamed. After being scolded by Li Lianying, he was also embarrassed and angry, so he shook Ping'er's death to be regarded as a kind of confidence for himself.

This move was indeed effective. After telling Ping'er, Cixi and Li Lianying were somewhat lacking in confidence. The soldiers of the People's Army looked at him and showed some sympathy. Therefore, Huang Jin couldn't help but feel energetic and knew that his vote was the right bet. So he pointed to Yang Rui one by one. In addition to Cixi and Guangxu, there were two princes, Prince Qing Yili, Prince Chun Zaifeng, four princes, four waiters, and five eunuchs, in addition to Li Lianying, there were also Cixi's personal female official Deling, Hui'er daughter Rong'er, the fourth princes of Prince Qing Yili, Guangxu's queen Longyu, Jinfei, etc., and 26 people were together.

After hearing Huang Jin's identification, Yang Rui was also very happy. He didn't know anyone, but after seeing the photos of Cixi and Guangxu, these two most important characters were indeed correct. It seems that the net was full of big fish. The hard work was not in vain. However, the battle outside was not over yet, so Yang Rui warned everyone again, "Stay honestly", "Don't play tricks", "We will ensure your safety".

At this moment, Guangxu suddenly spoke, "Are you a fake...a veteran of the East China Government?"

Yang Rui was stunned and said, "Yes, I am the elder."

Guangxu sighed and said, "I have never understood that when you come back from overseas, the court will not abandon you as the people of the previous dynasty. You are the people of the previous dynasty and are not bad to you. With your talents, if you serve the court with all your heart and rejuvenate my great destiny, you will be remembered forever and leave your name in history, but why do you rebel?"

Yang Rui stared at Guangxu for a while and said, "You are the current emperor, Aisin Gioro* Zai Tian?"

Guangxu was stunned. In his memory, no one had directly named his name since he became an adult. Now, he still felt a little unfamiliar when he heard Yang Rui call out, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

Yang Rui said: "I can't answer your question. I'm just a soldier and I'm obedient. But there is one thing I can tell you, when we returned from overseas, your court took refuge in Xi'an? It was Tianjin we seized from the Eight-Nation Alliance and Qingdao from the Germans. It can be said that every inch of land we have now was captured by ourselves, not a gift from your court, so we don't owe you, let alone rebellion, do you understand?"

After a pause, Yang Rui said again: "After we occupy Beijing, there will naturally be someone to answer other questions for you, but now you are our prisoner. I hope you can be a prisoner honestly and not have any other inappropriate thoughts. We will also ensure your safety and dignity within a reasonable range."

Guangxu nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Although the successful capturing of Cixi and Guangxu, the current situation is not very favorable to the People's Army. First of all, the battle in Dinghui Temple has not been completely over. Although the Qing army did not resist desperately, it was difficult to clear them all in a while. Secondly, the Summer Palace garrison led by Zaitao was also arrived soon, which was only more than 3 kilometers away from Dinghui Temple. Although the Qing army's combat effectiveness was not strong, the People's Army has not even cleaned up Dinghui Temple. How can we resist the reinforcements of the Qing army?

Then it is time to retreat from Dinghui Temple. After all, the purpose of this attack was not to occupy Dinghui Temple, and siege the city and land were not the strength of the special forces. It was just to prevent Cixi and Guangxu from escaping. Now everyone who should be arrested has been captured, and it is meaningless to stay in Dinghui Temple. Therefore, evacuation from Dinghui Temple and taking Cixi and Guangxu back to the area controlled by the People's Army is the most correct choice.

However, it is not easy to take Cixi and Guangxu withdrew. The biggest trouble is that Cixi. Guangxu is not a person who is good at walking. Cixi is always 70 years old and has been tangled with her feet. She will definitely not walk easily. Although Guangxu was in his prime, he grew up in the deep palace. Although he was under house arrest by Cixi for most of his time, he was still pampered in life and probably could not walk. Prince Qing Yili and Prince Chun Zaifeng were not good. If he were taken like this, he would probably have been tortured and killed on the road before he could reach the Sifang Military Camp.

There are also these eunuchs and palace maids. These people are not worth much, but Cixi and Guangxu are also inseparable from serving people. In the old time and space, the last emperor Puyi did not tie his shoelaces in the transformation camp until the founding of the country. Therefore, as long as the East China Government did not plan to execute two people, a few people would have to be left to take care of them by their side, otherwise they would not live for a few days at all. But this added difficulty to the People's Army.

Fortunately, Cixi and Guangxu and his party had many vehicles. Although many were destroyed by the artillery bombardment before the battle began, they should still be able to find several useful vehicles. The artillery bombardment of the Bijing People's Army was not fierce. It only took a few shots and broke up the Qing army outside the temple and stopped. Even if the horses pulling the cart were not found, they could only rely on manpower to pull them back to the military camp of Sifang Railway Station. Although there was no need to avoid the pain of bumps along the way, it was better than walking back.

So Yang Rui immediately ordered that the soldiers who blocked Dinghui Temple should be withdrawn first. At this time, there was no need for Bi Jing to continue blocking Dinghui Temple. Withdraw all the soldiers back, and strengthen the strength in other directions; then ordered a brigade to intercept the reinforcements of the Qing army, at least delay the speed of the Qing army's advance, and buy time for other troops to lead Cixi and Guangxu and his party to evacuate Dinghui Temple; in the end, the troops who were left were prepared to evacuate, so of course they had to find a car first.

After the order was issued, all troops also followed the order. Not long after, someone came to report to Yang Rui that three fairly intact carriages were found at the gate of the temple and four horses were found. At that time, the troops responsible for intercepting the Qing army also made fire with the Qing army, which temporarily delayed the Qing army.

This was of course good news, so Yang Rui immediately ordered the evacuation. However, it was still a distance to withdraw from this side hall, so they could not be allowed to leave slowly. Therefore, Cixi, Guangxu, including Empress Longyu, Concubine Jin, Female Officials, Palace Maids and others, two People's Army soldiers, one left and one right, and walked out with their arms on their backs. Several eunuchs wanted to come and stop them. As a result, after each of them was shot, they became honest. Prince Qing Yili and Prince Chun Zaifeng also understood the reason why the situation was stronger than others. They did not need the urging of the People's Army soldiers, and they consciously followed the brigade and left.

Fortunately, the People's Army soldiers immediately let go after leaving the temple gate, without any extra moves. At this time, the guns and cannons that intercepted the Qing army's reinforcements could be heard very clearly, showing that the Qing army's reinforcements were close at hand, but they were still one step late. Although they were still a little unwilling, Cixi, Guangxu and others still boarded three carriages under the arrangement of the People's Army. Cixi and Guangxu took one seat, and arranged two palace maids to accompany them, and they could take care of them along the way. The other two, one man and one woman.
