recommended "Secrets of the Republic of China Martial Arts" and "Youth Living on the Assembly Line" The next day, Yi Guifei met Su Shun on the road again; Concubine Yi couldn't support it anymore, so she forcibly stopped him and asked Su Shun to change a car for her. When Su Shun heard this, he suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "Now when you are fleeing, how can it compare to a peaceful day?" Where can you hire a new car in this barren mountain and wilderness? ”

He also said: "It's not that the slave talks a lot and says a word that he doesn't like, and advises the concubine to settle down; At this time, it is a blessing to have a broken car to sit on. Didn't the concubine see that there were many noble palace maids on the side of the road, crying and walking. ”

Su Shun pointed to the front with his hand and said, "Have you ever seen that the queen of the middle palace is also sitting in a broken car, isn't it exactly the same as the concubine sitting?" The middle palace is not called to change to a new car, but the concubine wants to change to a new car; What kind of person is the concubine, how can she cross the middle palace? Concubine Yi heard what he said, and she was speechless for a while!

After Su Shun finished saying a few words, he raised his whip and beat the horse, and ran forward as if he were flying. Concubine Yi was helpless at this time, so she had to grit her teeth and scolded: "What a bold minion, see how powerful you can get, wait for the palace!" ”

After arriving in Rehe, Xianfeng favored Concubine Li, which was arranged by Su Shun. Su Shun has long been unaccustomed to seeing Concubine Yi as the eldest brother's mother-in-law, and she is in charge of the government. He had to find a way to suppress her arrogance, so that she could know the fate of the harem officials.

On the way to Rehe, Xianfeng needed someone to take care of him at any time, so Su Shun arranged Concubine Li by Xianfeng's side. I haven't seen her for many days, Xianfeng also misses her, compared to Concubine Yi's fierce temperament, Xianfeng feels that Concubine Li is more considerate and gentle.

Concubine Yi sometimes wanted to see the emperor, and Su Shun found all kinds of reasons to prevaricate.

Since the fall of Dagu, the monk Grinqin, who is inclined to the Lord's peace, has become a frightened bird at this time. When he saw that the British and French forces had not moved for a few days, he thought that they had another trick, and asked Emperor Xianfeng to order Yixun to give a favor to Pasha Li and treat it properly.

He also repeatedly stated that the officers and men of the horse infantry led by him had been repeatedly defeated, their morale was low, and their morale was weakened. Therefore, it is advisable to hurry up and negotiate peace.

Yixun hesitated and hesitated at this critical moment. On the second day, on the pretext that the Qing court had mistreated prisoners of war, the Anglo-French forces entered the area of Deshengmen and Andingmen; In the early morning of the next day, they invaded the Old Summer Palace and carried out retaliatory acts such as plundering. The teams led by Seng Lingqin and Ruilin fled and collapsed without a fight.

Yixun and others fled from the Old Summer Palace to Wanshou Temple, and then moved to Lugou Bridge overnight. British and French robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace and plundered, and an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of human culture began.

The Old Summer Palace is a royal garden of the Qing Dynasty and one of the important places for the emperor to deal with government affairs, known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". It is based on the garden of the Ming Dynasty, after more than 150 years of continuous repair and expansion of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties, forming a magnificent palace that is rare in the world.

This large-scale royal garden, which integrates the essence of Eastern and Western architectural arts, can be called the most glorious masterpiece of Chinese garden architecture, and also enjoys a high reputation in the history of garden architecture in the world. The furnishings in the park are extremely rich and gorgeous, and there are not only extremely precious works of art at home and abroad.

Moreover, a large number of books, calligraphy and paintings, Dingyi ritual utensils and Qing Dynasty documents and archives of the past dynasties have been preserved. It is not only a magnificent royal garden that gathers the essence of Chinese and foreign architectural art, but also a large-scale museum.

It is estimated that the total value of looted and destroyed property is more than six million pounds. Every soldier present plundered a lot. After entering the emperor's palace, no one knew what to take; The silver was lost for gold, and gold was lost for jeweled timepieces and precious stones.

Priceless porcelain and enamel vases, too large to be transported, were broken......

After the large-scale looting, and in order to eliminate the evidence of their plunder, they even set fire everywhere, and suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, like a curtain, covering the entire sky, and the smoke spread with the strong wind to some buildings in the nearby Wanshou Mountain, Xiangshan and Yuquan Mountain.

Black clouds weigh down the city, the sun is flooding, and it looks like a long-term solar eclipse. The fire burned for two days and two nights, and a world-famous royal garden that had been in operation for more than 200 years and a rare treasure house of art at home and abroad turned into ruins.

No one would have thought that the only people who stayed in the Old Summer Palace were some palace maids and eunuchs······

The news of the destruction of the Old Summer Palace spread to the palace, making Emperor Xianfeng so angry that his illness became worse and worse. When it was terrible, I fainted a few times. The Anglo-French forces claimed to attack the Forbidden City. Xianfeng got the news and hurriedly sent a message to Prince Gong, telling him to discuss peace as soon as possible.
