Except for a small imperial garden, there is not even a tree in the huge Forbidden City, which can show the royal majesty, but it is not comfortable to live in. If it had been put aside in previous years, Xianfeng would have taken the imperial concubine, the queen and the imperial concubine to the Old Summer Palace for a "big move".

This year is different from previous years, Xianfeng is determined to make great efforts and has not made a "big move" for a long time. But in a blink of an eye, it is almost June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, thinking that the Forbidden City in summer is really inhabitable, and is planning to move to the Old Summer Palace.

Xianfeng, who was already in a bad mood because of the war in Liangjiang, Huguang, Liangguang, Guizhou, Shandong, Henan and other places, was so angry that he dropped several cups in a row, and even wrote the edict himself.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor, these things are still handed over to the military aircraft department......"

"I'm so angry," Xianfeng realized that it was really inappropriate to write automatically, so he simply put down the imperial pen and looked up and said, "Su Shun, write for me!" ”

"Huh." Su Shun hurriedly got up, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the side of the imperial case to take the pen carefully.

"Tell the cabinet, because Wang Maoyin asked for a temporary postponement of the Imperial Garden, because of his unfounded words, I took the lead in the performance, and sent the decree to the ministry. It is this day according to the imperial history Xue Minggao, because I saw the Old Summer Palace to repair the wall project, I thought that there was a clear sign of Linxing. And with ...... And in the palace and in the garden, it is divided into respects, and the safety should be distinguished, and the performance is very wrong. ”

Xianfeng took a few deep breaths with a gloomy face, thought for a while and continued: "The Old Summer Palace is doing things, this series of holy constitutions, it should be followed, and it should be repaired and repaired at any time. In addition, the decree was not passed on to the fortunate day, but the imperial history was said to be boiling in public opinion, and it has not been done so far, it is the name of wanting to sell and dare to admonish, so it is a dangerous attempt also!

If the intention is to be safe, that is, Yan is in the palace, and you can also enjoy yourself, why bother to visit the Imperial Garden! The beginning of the idea of slackness, when this adverse atmosphere has not been appeased, the night is anxious and tired, whether it is in the palace or in the garden, the same awe and the same worry. That is, in the second year of Xianfeng, in the garden for half a year, it is nothing more than to handle military affairs, summon the ministers, how can it be a day to abolish political affairs!

The imperial history actually took the garden as a companion for a good tour, unexpectedly wanton and self-indulgent, and what he saw was also shallow. Thinking about the beginning of my emperor's ancestor's reign, it was appropriate for Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu to make trouble. The Sacred Heart fears, how can I look up to the depths, and if there is a foolish person at that time, who acts in vain, and obstructs it, he will be punished severely......"

Word by word, almost all of them pop out between the teeth!

Su Shun could imagine how angry the emperor was at this moment, while secretly scolding those imperial historians for not only being inconsiderate of the sacred heart but also selling their reputations, while writing hard according to the emperor's dictation.

Xianfeng waited for him to finish writing, took it and looked at it, and said coldly: "Use the seal." ”

"Huh."

Peng Yunzhang, who sent the performance, saw that the emperor was so angry that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Xianfeng saw that Su Shun had run out of seals on the edict, and turned around and asked, "Peng Aiqing is old, don't kneel, get up and talk." ”

"Your Majesty." Peng Yunzhang hurriedly got up.

Xianfeng was really in no mood to listen to his thoughts one after another, sat down after returning to the imperial case, and asked expressionlessly: "Peng Aiqing handed over the sign to ask for a meeting, let's talk about it concisely." ”

"Obey." Peng Yunzhang settled down and reported the official document that the Military Aircraft Department had just completed today and the reports he had just received from various provinces.

Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, had good news again, he had just wiped out a long-haired remnant, beheaded more than 500 thieves and bandits, and heard a great news: Ying, Buddha and other Yi actually fought with the Russians, and this battle did not know when it would be fought to determine the victory or defeat, and the emperor no longer needed to worry about Xiyi's unprovoked provocation.

When did this happen, "Houyitang" found out last year, if Ye Mingchen reported that the daylily was cold, Su Shun would be made to cry and laugh, I really thought I heard it wrong. Xianfeng was also ridiculed, gritted his teeth and said: "This is my five-mouth minister of trade, and I have not found out until today what happened in April and May last year!" ”

Peng Yunzhang also felt that this matter was too ridiculous, so he could only say hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Ye Mingchen is both the Minister of Commerce and Trade of Wukou and the Governor of Liangguang......

Thinking that even if he changed people, it would not be much better, not to mention that he had never counted on Ye Mingchen and other Xinjiang officials to investigate Yiqing, Xianfeng waved his hand: "Forget it, go on." ”

Peng Yunzhang calmed his mind and said worriedly: "Ye Mingchen said that Guangdong's military affairs have not been completed, and he requested that Guangdong should hold the Yimao Branch Wenwu Township Examination this year, and that it could not be held within the time limit. ”

This is bad news again!

The township test is a major national event like the general examination, but it can't be held because of the bandits, and it's not just Guangdong. Thinking that Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, Guizhou and other provinces could not be held in the same way, Xianfeng felt very bad in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "Yes." ”

Zhuo Bingtian, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, died, and the Military Aircraft Department was ordered to compassionate and ask for the gift of the crown prince Taibao.

Hu Linyi, the acting governor of Hubei, asked Sichuan to continue to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to help the soldiers of Wuchang, and sent officials and gentry to persuade donations.

He Shaoji, a scholar in Sichuan, reported that the lawsuit in Sichuan Province not only delayed, but even humiliated the scholars, saying that the father and son surnamed Ju in Dongqijian Bridge in Hezhou were killed, that Li Xuantong was a thief in Hejiang County, and that Wan Shi Tian in Nanxi County had conspired to rebel.

……

One by one, it was full of troubles, and Xianfeng's mood was even worse.

Just when Su Shun gave Peng Yunzhang a look, Peng Yunzhang said: "Cao Shuzhong of East Sichuan Province, Du Xingyuan, the prefect of Chongqing, and Xiangqing, the magistrate of Ba County, reported that because of the attack on Qijiang, Nanchuan and other counties in Guizhou, the regiments of various prefectures and counties in Chongqing Prefecture have been convened in early April to help Qijiang, and Han Xiufeng, a counselor of the General Political Department before Ding Wei, is in charge of the Sichuan-Guizhou junction to coordinate the prevention and blockage. ”

After listening to it for a long time, I finally heard a good news that was not good news.

Xianfeng subconsciously raised his head: "What about the excerpt, let me take a look." ”

"Obey." Peng Yunzhang hurriedly turned out Cao Shuzhong's fold and carefully presented it.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm surprised when I see it.

Cao Shuzhong and Du Xingyuan actually summoned nearly 100 street regiments, fang regiments, chamber regiments, and township regiments from Ba County, Jiangbei Hall, Nanchuan, Bishan, Qijiang, Jiangjin, and other prefectures and counties to go to the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou to prevent blockage.

If someone else is on this excerpt, to be precise, if someone else co-ordinates the blockage matter, Xianfeng will throw the excerpt away without thinking, because this is a gang of rabble, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to expect this temporary rabble to prevent blocking bandits.

But it was no one else who led this rabble, but Han Si, who had not heard from him for half a year, Xianfeng's face was not as ugly as before, and he put down his excerpt and said: "This Cao Shuzhong is still a good person, and Han Si is sitting at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, not only can he move to Kuizhou with confidence to handle the blockade, but even I don't have to worry about the Guizhou bandits entering eastern Sichuan." ”

Su Shun was equally happy, and lost no time in sighing: "It's just that Han Si is suffering like this, after all, he is worried about returning home, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait for him when he got home, and he couldn't keep filial piety to his father, nor could he serve his mother on his knees." ”

Peng Yunzhang knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he left this excerpt at the end to report it, and seeing that the emperor's mood was really much better, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Han Xiufeng is deeply favored by the emperor and should have served the imperial court." What's more, Chuandong is his hometown, moving filial piety and loyalty, wearing armor to fight, not only to protect the family but also to defend the country, which can be called loyalty and filial piety! ”

"Your Majesty, listening to Lord Peng's words, the slave suddenly found that he was not wronged, he was loyal and filial, and there were a few people who could take care of it since ancient times. It's just that...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that this soldier is probably not so easy to lead, the regimental training is not as good as the Xiangyong that Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi are running, and it can't be compared with the Eight Banners Green Battalion, the food and salary are not enough, and those regiments have not advanced to the ranks, and it may not be so easy to let those regiments and regimental people live."

Xianfeng thought so, weighed it and got up and said: "Peng Aiqing, give me a decree, and order Han Xiufeng, the registered prefect of Ding Weizhi, to supervise the regimental training of various states and counties in eastern Sichuan, and help Tongchuan East Province handle the matter of preventing and blocking bandits. Ten knives with gold sheaths and tooth handles, ten knives with silver sheath handles, ten knives with silver sheaths and jade handles, fifty large purses, one hundred small purses, and ten fire sickles. And the people of each regiment who have contributed to the repeated battles will be found out and waited for me to show grace. The officer's duty is to supervise the regimental training of all walks of life, take advantage of this military might, quickly destroy the ugly crowd, and prevent the bandits from entering! ”

Peng Yunzhang was taken aback, and secretly thought that he could pass on the decree on behalf of the emperor and reward, and even have a folded guarantee, which was the glory of Xiang Rong, Seng Lingqin, Shengbao, Hu Linyi and other ministers or feudal officials with heavy troops. Don't look at Zeng Guofan's subordinates so many villagers, the emperor didn't give Zeng Guofan this grace.

Su Shun took it for granted, and immediately bowed down and said, "The emperor is wise!" ”

What made Peng Yunzhang even more incredulous was that the emperor said hatefully: "This Han Si is too unconscionable, and he won't give me a compromise after returning to his hometown for so long." If it weren't for Cao Shuzhong's excerpt, I wouldn't have been able to think of such a person as him. ”

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for being bold, you really wronged Han Si in this matter."

"I wronged him?"

Su Shun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Han Si returned to his hometown and was worried, not to go to the province to take up his post. Not to mention the date when he doesn't need to report to his home, even if he wants to report to the emperor, even if he wants to ask the emperor to be folded, he can't be a registered prefect who helps to do group exercises. ”

Xianfeng reacted and said without thinking: "Then send him a few military surveys in advance, so that he can secretly show what he encounters in the future." ”

"Huh!"

Thinking of Wen Xiang, who was promoted when Han Si returned home, he had done a good job in the past six months, and even got a foreigner's steam engine, and yesterday he just asked a few craftsmen from the office to go to Tianjin Wei next month to disassemble and study, Xianfeng said: "With the help of the Ministry of Works, Lang Wenxiang patrolled and contributed, added the title of prefect, and rewarded the flowers, and ordered the staff to go to Tianjin next month to accept the shipping grain." ”

The staff is from the fifth grade, and the prefect title is from the fourth grade, and he also appreciates the flower feather!

Thinking that the emperor would not let Wenxiang go to Tianjin to accept the grain for no reason, Su Shun suddenly realized that the emperor was Aiwu and Wu planned to let Wenxiang make another contribution, and when Wenxiang came back after receiving the grain, it was likely to be the fourth product, and suddenly realized that the emperor did not plan to let him ask about the matter of "Houyitang" again, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose.
