Prince Gong has recently been wary of the "ancestral family law", and feels that the matter is big and needs to be considered in the long run, and it is not appropriate to leak it out at this time, so as not to make it difficult to turn around in the future.
He replied: "With this sentence, it can be seen that the reuse of Zeng Guofan is not contrary to the original intention of the first emperor. But the reward should not be excessive, otherwise it will be difficult to continue! Therefore, this sentence begs the two queen mothers to be put in their hearts first, and then consider the situation in the future. ”
The news has been spread, the capital is greatly shaken, if Hangzhou falls, then the Changmao army will join forces to peep into Shanghai, for the military affairs of Jiangsu Province, the impact is great, so the Beijing officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have gathered to discuss the situation ahead.
At that time, the situation ahead was quite complicated, and only the area east of Zhenjiang, which was defended by the naval division, and several counties in Shanghai, which were mixed with Chinese and foreign, were in the hands of the officials and troops. Zhejiang, Hangzhou, was besieged, and it was not guaranteed.
Ningbo due to the loss of Shaoxing, it is difficult to hold on, and there are only two clean soils left in West Lake Prefecture and Yazhou in East Zhejiang. In Anhui, Shandong, and Henan, there are several big gangs of twisters, colluding with Chen Yucheng, the "four-eyed dog" of the long-haired army, and harassing everywhere.
In addition, in northern Anhui, there was also Miao Peilin, the "general manager of training" named the head of the regimental training, who surrounded Shouzhou and openly rebelled, forming an unexpected resistance, which was also quite a tricky matter. However, although the situation is critical, everyone's confidence has not been lost.
After the cleansing of the war in the past ten years, most of the eight banner military ministers who were dull and greedy and cowardly were eliminated, and the generals who were responsible for supervising and suppressing one side, the monks between Lu and Henan, the monks Lingqin and Shengbao, Yuan Jiasan in Huaibei, Duxinga in Jiangbei, Zuo Zongtang in Zhejiang, etc., are all people who can be trusted.
Of course, the focus is on Zeng Guofan, who controlled the military affairs of the four provinces.
Because they all relied on Zeng Guofan as the Great Wall, it also deepened the empress dowager's reliance on him. Prince Gong took advantage of the situation, in addition to allowing Zeng Guofan to sponsor the governor, he also sent a special court message, saying:
"How to plan the overall situation, urgency and power, will be a good opportunity, gallop at any time, in order to relieve the suspense."
At this time, the month has been handed over, although the national mourning has not passed, the southeast is in danger, but the new monarch's heir, Prince Gong is in power, quite a job, so the people's hearts are quite excited, the urgent situation is withering, and the "New Year's flavor" of the busy family is still very strong.
In the palace, from the queen mother of the two palaces to the eunuchs and palace maids, recalling the year when they fled in Rehe last year and lived a cold year, they couldn't help but mix joy and sorrow, and they were full of emotion. In order to compensate for the shortcomings of last year, everyone attaches great importance to the upcoming year.
The queen mother of the two palaces specially asked the chief eunuch of the worship room to ask what routine stories and rituals should be for the New Year, as well as the internal and external rewards, so as to prepare early.
There are many kinds of ceremonial rewards at the end of the year, but the funeral of the emperor of Daxing, although a hundred days have passed, drinking and feasting, it must be three years later, so those many patterns are almost completely useless.
The Empress Dowager Cixi naturally felt disappointed, but fortunately, everything had gone well recently, so her interest was still very good, but she couldn't help but be lonely under her knees, and she couldn't help but think of Prince Gong's daughter again.
Regarding the matter of Da Gege being a princess, she had already decided to discuss it with the Empress Dowager Ci'an, but she didn't know how to start talking about it. If she expressed her willingness to raise Da Gege, with the loyal Empress Dowager Ci'an, she would gladly agree, then it would not matter if she discussed.
After thinking about it, I still have to make up my mind with Prince Gong, in order to entrap him and give Da Gege the name of a princess, I might as well say this to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.
The Empress Dowager Cixi said slowly: "I'm thinking, it's also difficult for the sixth master to do things, so we still have to help him a little." ”
"But how can you help him?" Tzu An didn't know what she had come up with.
"Let everyone know that we trust him. It is good to keep showing this meaning. The Empress Dowager Cixi said sharply, "Send him an envoy and give him grace, and it will not show the meaning of our trust." ”
Empress Dowager Ci'an asked honestly: "Say it! It's almost the New Year, do you have to give him something? ”
"That's where I find it difficult. It can't just be said that the sixth master alone has merit, if you want to give the messenger and grace, you have to give it all," Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Cixi pretended to have a look of sudden good idea, "Let's follow Yongzhengye's method, okay?" ”
"Tell me first, what's the solution?"
"Yongzheng Ye often made his nieces and nephews princesses and raised them in the palace. The sixth master's big Gege, you also saw it that day, she is quite sensible, let's also reward her with a 'Gulun princess'! ”
Gege of the palace was raised in the palace since he was a child. Being named a princess like the princess has been a tradition since the founding of the country.
At first, perhaps because some princes and county kings were leading troops outside, or died in battle, they were specially favored for the sake of favor. When he arrived in the Yongzheng Dynasty, Sejong regarded his three nieces as his own, which was really out of family affection.
Empress Dowager Ci'an thought for a while before replying, "Then Princess Gulun!" ”
Listening to her tone, this is not in favor of using the title of "Gulun", the daughter of the middle palace is named "Princess Gulun", and the Empress Dowager Ci'an is afraid that Concubine Ligui will be unhappy, so it is so. Of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi understood in her heart.
This determines the identity of Da Gege. An Dehai came out with the order, and on the one hand sent people to inform the palaces to let everyone know that a new princess had been added, and on the other hand, he personally went to Prince Gong's mansion to deliver the good news.
Prince Gong happened to be in the mansion, and when he heard that An Dehai was coming to deliver the decree, he immediately changed his crown clothes and went out of the hall to greet him. An Dehai greeted him first, and congratulated with a smile on his face: "The sixth master is happy!" There is a grace from above. ”
As soon as he stood up, the two of them were in transposition, An Dehai walked to the top to deliver the decree, and Prince Gong knelt below to listen.
In the order of the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi: the daughter of Prince Gong, she is smart and intelligent, and is the most loved by Emperor Wen Zongxian. Since he should look up to the Sacred Heart, he used Pettern to be named Princess Gulun immediately to show his favor. ”
Back to the upper room, the next person greeted him, just in front of the upper court on the porch, please congratulate him, and when he stood up, he found that Prince Gong's face was not happy. The look was strange, but no one dared to ask, and quietly retreated.
"What did the people in the palace say?"
"There is only an edict, saying that she is called Princess Gulun. And it was the 'east' who gave it to his face. Prince Gong shook his head and said impatiently.
Fu Jin sat expressionlessly, and he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. The couple silently faced each other, thinking that there was a princess, I don't know what impact and changes it will bring to the house?
However, after a moment's effort, the congratulatory guests were overflowing, and according to the etiquette of the palace and the depth of friendship, depending on the identity of the visitor, different treatments were made.
