"Yes." Prince Gong turned back to Bao Jun and said, "You remember, immediately call the household department to make up for it." ”

This news soon spread to the deep palace, and the two queen mothers were naturally pleased with the emperor's filial piety, but the Empress Dowager Ci'an felt that she didn't need so much money, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was not too much, but she felt that it was the same as the emperor's wedding and the two "Gong Shang Emblems", which should be humble and pretentious.

So when the emperor was serving food in Shufangzhai, he said that there was no need to increase it.

The emperor naturally tried his best to persuade him, and finally made a discount, and the annual "payment of silver" by the queen mother of the two palaces was set at 180,000, 50,000 for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and 80,000 yuan for the next year.

On this day, I took a Yongzheng "Imperial Old Summer Palace Forty Scenes Poetry Collection", opened it by myself, and read it while reading the picture and the poem, and called the little eunuch when I read less than half of it.

"Is there a detailed map of the Old Summer Palace? Find out! ”

"The relevant books have been prepared for a long time. The minion will go and find it. ”

"Find it! I've been waiting for it. "Then I don't dare to deliberately delay, I didn't go for half an hour, I took a handscroll, said that it was found in the Zhaoren Palace, unfolded, it is a very fine brushwork, thousands of flowers and grasses, golden buildings, far more moving than the illustrations of woodcut ink prints on the poetry collection.

The emperor watched it carefully from beginning to end, leaning back in his chair and being stunned.

Judging from his confused and slightly excited eyes, the emperor would definitely mention the words of Xiu Yuanzi first, deliberately ignore him, and let himself roll up the hand scroll.

"Don't be busy!" The emperor said, pointing to the painting.

"Yes."

"You check, when the foreigners burned the Old Summer Palace, who was the guard?"

The emperor has always been anxious, so he added: "Hurry up and check!" I waited. ”

It's night, and the palace gate is under the key, otherwise you can understand it if you find someone from the Internal Affairs Office and ask. At the moment, I can only check it in the documents.

So I took out the "Xianfeng Record", turned to the August of the tenth year of Xianfeng, which was committed by the British and French forces, and checked page by page, and finally found a clue, Bao Jun, the minister in charge of the interior, had an excerpt to report the burning of the Old Summer Palace.

Immediately, he went to the Jingshifang to find the original fold, which clearly read: "Wenfeng and Mingshan, the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, take care of the Old Summer Palace according to the order."

On August 22, when the "bandits" burned down the Old Summer Palace, Wenfeng had already surrendered to Fuhai and was martyred.

"According to this, there is only one Mingshan who knows the situation at that time?"

"Bao Zhongtang probably knows."

"Don't look for him!" The emperor shook his hand again and again, "You will pass the decree early in the morning, and wait for me to summon Mingshan in the study." ”

"I asked him how it burned at the time. Is it all burned out? If you want to fix it, where do you fix it first? ”

After less than two days, Mingshan found a group of officials and craftsmen, went out of Xizhimen to the north, went straight to Haidian, went to explore the dilapidated Old Summer Palace, spent two days of work, and walked all over the general name of Yuanming, in fact, there are every corner of Yuanming, Changchun, and Wanchun three gardens.

In addition to the most famous "Forty Beauties" in the three parks, there are hundreds of scenery, and the survey results are still the same, only thirteen.

Although the investigation has results, the recital is not yet timely, because it is not enough to say "there are still thirteen places", where are these thirteen places located, and are they connected?

If we accommodate these thirteen places to cultivate, how will we repair the Fa, how much will the work be, and where will the money come from? I can't go into detail, but I have to give a rough idea, so it will take several days to repeat it.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't have the heart to ask about this for a while, and the fact that the envoys of various countries were meeting made the emperor very annoyed.

Every time he summoned a military plane, he heard a lot of things that he didn't like to hear, not that the Japanese vice-island minister, who was appointed by the "foreign secretary" as the "minister plenipotentiary," had an arrogant attitude and threatened him in all sorts of ways, that is, if the British and French warships sailed to Shanghai, if the envoys could not enter the Hajj, they would probably ask the guilty army.

The emperor was young and vigorous, and always asked aggressively: why can't the master turn away the door if he does not want to see the evil guest?

And every time I ask this question, I can't get any definite answer.

There is no choice but to let the prime minister's yamen consult with the envoys of various countries, and the meeting will be sooner or later, and the date will be sooner or later, just to see whether it can be "pleasing to the eye" in terms of etiquette.

Of course, Prince Gong and Wen Xiang were more upset than the emperor, on the one hand, they were reprimanded by the emperor, on the other hand, they had to deal with the envoys of various countries, and in addition, they had to appease the "Qing Discussion".

So on the 14th of March, Prince Gong officially announced the regulations allowing the envoys of various countries to meet with him, except for the unprecedented five bows, all the terms were interpreted as "grace comes from the top".

In addition to presenting letters of state and congratulatory speeches, the ministers of various countries could only ask: "How is the emperor?" The emperor did not "ask" anything, and he could not speak indiscriminately, according to the rules of summoning.

At the same time, when bowing, the emperor "sits and stands", because according to Chinese rules, the emperor will never stand up and accept the salute when he is in the palace.

In the negotiations, it took a lot of words and tongues, and finally it was the British Minister who had been in China for many years that heard the reason, and the text stipulated that in fact, "grace comes from the top", and he would definitely stand to accept the salutes of the ministers of various countries, and then it was settled.

In preparation for the restoration of the Old Summer Palace, the Minister of Internal Affairs agreed on his own functions, and then played it.

Asking the emperor for an edict will not have a definite result for a while. The emperor didn't dare to act alone, no matter what, he had to tell the queen mother of the two palaces first. Looking for an opportunity to spend the summer in the Imperial Garden, he leisurely picked it up.

"The British and French envoys have all handed over their credentials, and they have been reconciled, but the garden is still deserted there." The emperor said, "I have to think of repairing it, and the two queen mothers also have a place to relax." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was overjoyed when she heard this, "It's hard for him to have such filial piety!" She said to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an smiled inexplicably. This attitude is very strange, not only the Empress Dowager Cixi, but even the emperor is a little uneasy.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Ci'an could see the eager look in their mother and son's eyes, but she didn't dare to speak easily.

She didn't know how many times she had thought about this matter, and every time she thought about it in the end, she always regretted that she shouldn't have made that idea to the emperor in the first place:

Find something for the Empress Dowager Cixi to have fun. When the emperor summoned the Minister of the Interior to talk about the garden, she had already heard about it, but she did not know where the wages would come from. At the same time, I don't know how much it costs to repair it?

But one thing she knows, this project will never be less, and when it comes to repairing the garden, there will be many people who oppose it, Prince Gong may be able to discuss, Wen Xiang will definitely refuse to agree.

Then you won't be able to live a quiet life! (To be continued.) )
