35 Go to the east of the great river

Recommend "The Secret Story of the Martial Arts of the Republic of China" and "Youth Living on the Assembly Line" Erjin made a big fuss about the capture of Pa Xiali and others, which seems to be the crux of the matter, but in fact it is just a delaying tactic. After two fierce battles at Zhangjiawan and Baliqiao, the British and French forces were exhausted and unable to attack the city again.

At this time, there was a Russian rear admiral named Census Chin, who saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so he went to instigate the Russian minister named Igyeteyev to come out and solve the problem, and persuaded Britain, France, and China to negotiate peace, according to the peace treaty in the Daoguang period, adding nine articles, and France also adding ten peace treaties, and opening Tianjin as a commercial port.

The British military expenses were compensated with 2 million taels, and the French military expenses were compensated with 6 million taels. This harmony was played in the palace, and Emperor Xianfeng summoned Duanhua and Su Shun into the palace to discuss. That Duanhua, Su Shun, and Prince Gong have never been right.

After reading this peace agreement at the moment, he said: "The sixth master is so useless, if this continues, will we have a good life in the Qing Dynasty in the future?" ”

Emperor Xianfeng couldn't make up his mind at this time, and said, "Let me think about it." "Send them away.

After coming to Chengde for many days, I didn't see the emperor's face. Concubine Yi knew that Su Shun must be playing a ghost again, so she thought of a way and pulled the queen along. When the queen heard that the Old Summer Palace was destroyed by the people, the emperor vomited blood for this, and she was also worried about it.

Concubine Jing Yi cried in front of her, the eldest brother wanted to see the emperor, and the two came at night. At this time, Xianfeng was sad about the indemnity. I heard that the two of them were here, and they brought the eldest brother with them, and they didn't see Jaechun for many days, so I thought about it in my heart.

The queen brought ginseng soup and persuaded the emperor to take supplements. Xianfeng saw that Jaechun was growing up day by day, and his heart was also happy. Seeing that the emperor was depressed, Concubine Yi asked, "Your Majesty, why are you worried!" ”

Xianfeng hugged Zaichun and said casually: "It's not a matter of peace, Yiren wants to pay compensation······" Speaking of which, Xianfeng didn't want to say it.

This filial piety queen is a loyal person, and when he sees such a big event, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense for a while. There is only that Yi Guifei, but she is bold to talk and said: "Now that the Yi soldiers are coming to the city, if they are not satisfied with what they want, they will never give up, and the fault of this matter is in the hands of the original class of mediocre people such as Qiying, Niu Jian, Gui Liang, and Hua Shana!" ”

Seeing that Xianfeng didn't say anything, she was bold, and continued: "At the beginning, this matter was okay, so she blindly flattered the country and showed weakness and begged for peace, so that it became a big mistake today. As the child is dusty today······" The queen gave her a wink, not wanting her to continue.

Xianfeng saw her slurding and said, "Concubine Ai continued. Seeing that Xianfeng wanted to hear it, Concubine Yi became even more bold and said: "Outside, the Jingshi is in danger, there is a disaster of bandits in the south, there is a rebellion of bandits in the north, and the inner river is not cleared, how can there be another trouble?" ”

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and cried: "It is better to ask the emperor to make a decision and approve their peace treaty, first, the foreign soldiers can retreat as soon as possible, and second, the emperor can also return to Luan as soon as possible and recuperate in the palace, which is much better than the inconvenience of everything in this palace." ”

When Concubine Yi thought of Su Shun, she felt uncomfortable!

Yixun, as a descendant of Aixin Jueluo, saw the royal garden painstakingly managed by his ancestors and ancestors burned down by British and French robbers, and his heart was also full of incomparable grief and hatred; As a plenipotentiary minister who stayed in Beijing, he was unable to stop the heinous crimes of the British and French bandits, and his heart was also full of deep guilt and self-blame.

After the invaders looted the Old Summer Palace, Yixun saw that something big had happened, and he could no longer propose to deal with the situation at this time. After consulting with the people in Beijing, it was decided to go to Rehe and meet the details.

Xianfeng was in a dilemma, thinking of Yi Guifei's words, he had to ask Yi Xun in his reply to try his best to redeem himself in the midst of all difficulties, in order to maintain the overall situation and not have to go to Rehe in person.

Yi Su read Xianfeng's edict, and didn't know if this was Xianfeng's own intention or the conspiracy of the Shun party. I didn't expect this to be the result of Yi Guifei's crying.

On August 23 (October 7), the British and French envoys made an appointment to meet Hengqi and demanded that Pashali and others be released on the 24th, otherwise they would immediately open artillery to attack the city, and at the same time set off empty cannons outside Desheng Gate to demonstrate.

The ministers of the city guard, Wang Qinghui, Hengqi, Yidao and others were terrified, and according to the authority of Emperor Xianfeng's edict, they obtained Su Shun's secret letter, and without consulting Yixun, they released Pa Xiali and others on the 24th (8th) without authorization.

The Anglo-French forces made an inch, and on August 26 (October 10), they announced that they would send troops to guard Andingmen at noon on the 29th (13th), and if they did not follow the proposal, there would be obstruction, and they would immediately attack the capital.

In this regard, Yi Xun said angrily: "I just released the hostages, and now I want to occupy the city gate, how can it be reasonable to deceive people too much?" But at this time, the soldiers were in the city, so they had to compromise, and he proposed to wait for the two sides to agree on the rules for opening the city, and then open the city gates.

But Yidao and others held the right to defend the city, and without the consent of Yixun, they opened Andingmen on time on the 29th (13th), and took the initiative to retreat the defenders around Andingmen and Deshengmen.

Yi Su could only watch and scolded: "Guts rats, I will destroy these people if I clean up." But he didn't expect that behind all these things, Su Shun was in charge.

Su Shun can't watch him show off his power in the capital, win the hearts of the people, and have to restrain him everywhere.
