Outside of Hue City, there are several ominous-looking ironclad ships floating, looking at this centuries-old city with fierce eyes, Hue City has already been in chaos, "The French are coming!" The French called! The people in the streets cried and shouted wildly, "They have come to the royal city!" ”

"What Frenchman called?" Some people were quite confused, "Didn't the French carry a good thing in Nanqi?" How is it possible to call? ”

"You don't know yet? Outside, the French warships are coming! A man with a webbed head who looked horrified and exasperated, "These damned Frenchmen! Damn it! Do you think that we have no one to support in Da Nan? I'm going to invite Master Wenzong! ”

There is no need for the guards to pass it on, Emperor Side has already learned the news, although he has not said that he is hiding in the secret room, but his face is already very ugly, he scolded Ruan Wenxiang and other ministers who rushed over, in fact, he scolded Ruan Wenxiang, "You did a good thing!" Angered by the French, they now don't say anything about the etiquette and send warships to attack Hue, you say, what to do about this! ”

It was you who wanted to sign the agreement before, and it was you who broke the contract and did not perform it, but now it is you who say that I am not doing well, Ruan Wenxiang's heart is like ashes, and he kneels down and kowtows and does not explain, "Weichen is a capital crime." ”

"You are naturally a capital crime, chamberlain," Emperor De's rare dry cylinder arbitrariness sent Ruan Wenxiang down, "After passing the decree, Ruan Wenxiang, the first assistant of the cabinet, was disrespectful to the kingdom, and was dismissed from the post of the first assistant of the cabinet." Live at home, do not go out, wait for the country to fall. ”

Chen Van Dinh on the side was shocked, he entered Beijing to accept the reward of the last Hue change, and under the efforts of Nguyen Van Xiang, he was only in his early forties and had already been awarded the governor of Beiqi. He was in charge of one-third of Vietnam's territory - if you count Nam Chi, which has been occupied by the French, Tran Van Dinh is already in charge of half of the country, "Your Majesty, Lord Nguyen is the head of the cabinet, and you can't easily depose him, the French wolf ambitions." I will never stop my aggression because of the removal of Shousuke! ”

Emperor Side had already planned to sacrifice Ruan Wenxiang to protect his position, he shook his head and dismissed, "Governor Chen, don't think that you are fine, your sins are not small, come on, detain Chen Wending first, and prepare to hand it over to the kingdom!" ”

The ministers were all shocked. The pro-French figures who had been purged before because of the Hue Change, and now the court is full of neutrals and pro-Chinese factions, how can this Qing Jinshi be imprisoned? Although Nguyen Van Xiang resigned, this is just the number of the emperor's royal subordinates, obviously it is just a vent for the previous coup d'état to make him worry and fear, and now he wants to arrest Chen Van Dinh, is it possible, is this emperor who blows both sides of the wind going to the French again?

So they all pleaded one after another. Ruan Honghu, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, said calmly, "Your Majesty Mingjian." Now that the actions of the legal person are unknown, how can we destroy the Great Wall? Even if they want to attack Hue City, we will never be without the strength to fight back, and Lord Liu, the deputy commander of Sanxuan, is still here! ”

Everyone saw Liu Yongfu, the deputy governor of Sanxuan, who closed his eyes and recuperated after Chen Wending, who personally led the elite into Hue City and quelled the coup attempted by the pro-French faction. Emperor Si De seemed to notice the thin middle-aged man at this time, "Lord Liu, what do you mean?" Emperor Side said vigilantly with a smile on his face.

Liu Yongfu, who was calm and calm, put his hands on his sleeves and didn't care about the battle between the monarchs and ministers in the main hall. Hearing Emperor Side's greeting, he slowly opened his eyes, and looked directly at Emperor Side with lightning-like eyes, "Your Majesty, Ruan Xiang, Chen Du is not a big mistake, and it can't be easily abolished!" ”

"Yes," Ruan Honghu and other ministers seemed to have something to rely on, and more and more advised Emperor Qide, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Side was a little displeased, is this to force the palace? Just shook his head and insisted on attacking Chen Wending, or Liu Yongfu said, "Your Majesty, now that this is an extraordinary time, it is better to let Chen Du make meritorious service first, and you must know that the envoy is still in Hue without looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha." ”

Chen Wending heard the two words of the envoy, and immediately felt blessed, and the original appearance of gritting his teeth and never bowing his head was quickly changed to kowtowing and confessing, "Please Your Majesty, please ask the angel to come forward, it will definitely be able to deter the legal person!" ”

Only then did Emperor Side think of the Chinese gentleman Ege, who was the most difficult to speak and had repeatedly made trouble so much that he couldn't get off the stage, could Ege deal with legal persons? At this time, there was no choice but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he shouted, "Hurry, hurry!" Go to the Sifang Pavilion and ask the angel to subdue this lawless legal person! ”

In a hurry, he couldn't find the minister to invite Ege, so he had to go out cheekily and summon the officials of the cabinet to invite Ege to come, the hall was in chaos, Emperor Side's face was originally very ugly, and he saw Liu Yongfu's calm and relaxed appearance, but he couldn't get out of his anger, "Admiral Liu," he said coldly, forcing himself to hold back the fear in his heart, "Your Black Flag Army has made a foolproof plan?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Black Flag Army is only two hundred people in Hue City, if the French are strong and attack head-on, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold Hue," Liu Yongfu said in a deep voice, and Emperor Side's face sank when he heard this, "But as long as there is one person in the Black Flag Army here, the French must not be allowed to enter Hue City!" ”

This answer can't be said to be satisfactory, but at least it can make people feel at ease, Emperor Side nodded, his face softened a little, "Admiral Liu's loyalty and righteousness are known, so I can rest assured." ”

So he didn't care about Chen Wending, who was kneeling on the ground, and just waited for Ruan Wenxiang's news to come back, and after a while, Ruan Wenxiang trotted in with a strange face but was very excited, "Your Majesty! The angels have already headed to the docks! He sent someone to tell His Majesty that the French were rude, and he himself set up a guard of honor at the dock to see who dared to be rude! ”

"What?" Emperor Side was taken aback and stood up, "Angels are bare-handed!" Tears flowed from Emperor Side's eyes, and he beat his chest and stomped his feet, crying, "A small country is useless, so that an angel should come forward for a small country like this!" ”

Is this Chinese reading a bad head, or does he feel that he has divine skills to protect his body and is not afraid of the French musket artillery? Everyone was very disdainful in their hearts, but they showed great admiration on their faces, and they even comforted Emperor Si De who was crying, only Ruan Wenxiang pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, when it comes to acting, no one can compare to the current Da Nan Tianzi.

"Hurry up," Emperor Side wiped his tears and instructed his ministers, "The secretary of the military department, you will personally go to protect the angels!" ”

The secretary of the military department had a bitter face, just relying on a few soldiers in the defense of the city, and also guarding the angels? As long as the French hit a cannon, everyone will die, he originally intended to shirk it, Ruan Wenxiang glared at him, he hurriedly said, "The Black Flag Army of the Deputy Admiral of Sanxuan is of great use, you might as well let him lead the troops with him, so as to protect the angels." ”

"The Black Flag Army wants to protect Your Majesty and not be dispatched lightly," Chen Wending said in a deep voice, he took the initiative to ask, "I am an angel protégé, Your Majesty, I will protect Angel Quan." ”

I heard that the former Qing Dynasty Emperor Xianfeng also left the capital to take refuge in the north when the legal person attacked, so it was natural for him to leave Hue under the escort of the Black Flag Army. He wished that this long-winded angel would die under the guns of the French, so that he had nothing to do, and everything just had to be pushed on these guards, Chen Wending automatically asked, he was in the middle of it, "Very good, Governor Chen," at this time, he suddenly forgot his intention to put Chen Wending in prison, "It is best for you to go in person." Emperor Side was still a little apprehensive, "I don't know if the angel's behavior is useful or not?" ”

Li Weiye put down the telescope in his hand and shook his head slightly, "This damn Chinese yellow-skinned monkey actually engaged in such an act for us, does he think that we dare not attack Hue?" Proud France could not tolerate such blackmail. (To be continued.) )
