The minister was stunned for a moment and said: "That's just the personal behavior of some soldiers, we will stop it, I hope the prince can see the sincerity of our country." ”

Yi Xu asked: "Then what can you do to convince Britain and France?" ”

"The British public is no longer very interested in the war, and they are tired of getting involved in the war in China again, so Parliament is not willing to spend any more money on it." He also explained: "If the British army were to spend the winter in China, Britain would have to pay a million pounds for the occupation, which Britain could not afford." After the minister finished speaking, everyone understood at once.

The envoy continued: "As long as China is willing to resume normal relations with Russia, I am willing to act as an intermediary and try to persuade them. Wen Xiang looked at Yi Su and said, "Lord Wang, why don't you let him try?" ”

Seeing Gui Liang, Yi Su nodded, and said: "As long as your country can persuade Britain and France to give up the envoy stationed in Beijing and withdraw the army as much as possible, this king will show your country's friendship to us in front of my Qing Emperor." ”

When the minister saw that they had agreed, he said happily, "Then we will make up our minds." Yi Su said: "I am a country of etiquette, and I will not lose my trust to others, so rest assured." "Then please wait for my good news." After that, he left.

Prince Gong's promise prompted Ignatiev to do his utmost to obstruct the establishment of a permanent representative office of ministers in China. He gave various reasons to persuade Ergin: "If the emperor is not allowed to receive him with great pomp, then the permanent representative office in Beijing will lose its meaning, and the dignity of the envoy will be damaged." ”

Therefore, it is more advantageous for foreign delegates to come to Beijing for a short period of time. Ergin finally agreed. Therefore, the Sino-British Treaty of Peking stipulates that whether the envoys should be permanently stationed in Beijing or communicate with each other at any time is to be complied with in accordance with the third paragraph of the Treaty of Tientsin.

At this time, the new British minister to China, Pruss, learned that the French minister Bourbron would not be able to come to Beijing until the beginning of spring next year, and that the Russian minister would definitely not spend the winter in Beijing, so he decided to stay in Tianjin.

The British government and the queen also preferred that Pruss be safely stationed in Tientsin or Shanghai than that he would be subjected to atrocities and insults in Beijing, which would require a new war to retaliate against, or to endure humiliation.

Buying face with silver, the British are tired of it. Therefore, they had to postpone their stay in Beijing under the pretext that the embassy house was not suitable for the minister's residence, which also saved their face very well. On November 9 and 12, the French and British troops withdrew from Beijing, and at the end of the year, most of the invading troops withdrew from Tianjin, and soon after, they withdrew south to Guangzhou.

Here, when Yixun was inspecting the defense of the capital, he was keenly aware that he negotiated peace in Beijing, kept the Forbidden City, and gained a growing reputation in the hearts of the people, which also gave some political enemies with ulterior motives around the emperor as an excuse to provoke them.

The longer he is separated from the emperor, the deeper the emperor's suspicion of himself will be, and the more unfavorable his situation will be.

So, after discussing with Gui Liang, Yixun played with the ministers who stayed in Beijing: "The emperor is the lord of the subjects of the world, and the Beijing division is the area of the four arches, the palace is forbidden, the national foundation is unstable, Luan Yu returns to the palace as soon as possible, the people's hearts can be settled, and the world can be peaceful. ”

The boulder that pressed on Xianfeng's heart was finally moved, and Prince Gong now thought that he could invite the emperor back to the palace. However, there is one person who is the most unwilling to see this result, and that is Su Shun.

After Su Shun received the fold, he also secretly admired Prince Gong's powerful methods. However, Su Shun understood that the more powerful he was, the more detrimental his position in the DPRK would be. So I suppressed the folds.

did not hand it to Xianfeng, but after discussing with Duanhua Zaiyuan, he replied in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, saying: "Although the Yi people retreated to Tianjin, Tianjin is close to Beijing, and the Yi people are capricious, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to Beijing to coerce and cause trouble, so we can't agree to the request of Yixin and others." ”

Prior to this, when Su Shun, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others were instigating Emperor Xianfeng to flee to Rehe, the proposal to leave Beijing had already been opposed by the vast majority of ministers. Now, their demagogic obstruction of Emperor Xianfeng has aroused the dissatisfaction and opposition of the ministers in Beijing.

So, Yixun and others played again, built Emperor Xianfeng's western tour, and set the capital of Xi'an. It is believed that Xi'an is located in the middle of the pass, there are not only the dangers of mountains and rivers, but also four passes to defend, and the Yi people must not be attacked. Yixun and others initially asked the emperor to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and now they have built a western tour, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xianfeng.

Su Shun and others even slandered him: "Prince Gong is now successful in the peace negotiation, and the ministers who stayed in Beijing have a lot of admiration for him, and the Yi people also support him" The more Xianfeng listened, the more wrong he became, and he hurriedly asked: "What do you want to say?" ”

Su Shun knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Prince Gong is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows that he wants to replace the emperor and stand on his own." ”

"Bold minion" Xianfeng's mind was dizzy and unconscious!
