Chapter 327: Life Never Stops, Death Doesn't Stop

After Changxi died, Guo Xing'a regretted it very much, Changxi didn't have to die, but he was unlucky, and he just happened to bump into the moment when Guo Xing'a lost control of his emotions. But regret is regret, Guo Xing'a will not admit his mistake, and Changxi's head is very good, no one in the new barracks dares to make trouble, and they have all become the most well-behaved babies. In addition, Guo Xing's troubled thoughts were also disturbed by Yixin's long letter, and he didn't have time to reflect on himself.

Yi Xin's long letter can be described as full of emotion, although the words are extremely obscure, but it also ensures that Guo Xing'a can understand it without too many brain cells, and it is very affordable to give Guo Xing'a a price. Yi Xin first used three pages of letter paper to recall the years of fighting side by side with Guo Xing'a, reminiscing about the revolutionary friendship between the two, and putting Guo Xing'a on the level of being both a teacher and a friend. The next five pages of the letter are an analysis of the current situation, painfully stating Xianfeng's cowardice and the shortcomings of the current imperial court, and looking at the world to tell the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty. In this part, Yi Xin proposes an idea that makes Guoxinga a little tempting, and Yixin promises to learn from the West and transform the Qing army after Goxinga's Gu'an Army. In the end, it's only a page of letterhead, but it's very affordable. As long as Guo Xing'a supports Yixin in some activities, then after the success of the activities, Guo Xing'a can choose any place as his own territory in Zhili, Shandong, Liangjiang, Huguang and other places, and join the military aircraft, and will also become the chief designer of the Qing Dynasty's military reform.

Not only was Guo Xing'a moved, but even Pi Runmin and Zou Degui, the two great gods who had been stable, also moved their index fingers after reading the letter. Pi Runmin even began to plan a mutiny in his mind, taking advantage of Xianfeng's serious illness, directly killing orphans and widows, and directly supporting Yixin to ascend the throne. But after calming down all night, the three decided to give up this opportunity, or choose to treat it coldly. That is, he will not reply to Yixin's overtures, do not refuse or agree, and will see the situation later.

Because things are back to half a year ago, no matter how good Yixin's promise is, Guo Xing'a can't get rid of his identity as the head of the army. It is impossible for Guoxing'a to reduce his own strength and reconcile with the imperial court like Zeng Guofan, so as long as there is a strong monarch in the Qing Dynasty, the Guoxing'a group will inevitably be the primary target of the imperial court. After Xianfeng's death, the throne was an orphan and a widow, and the situation of many factions in the court was the most beneficial to Guoxinga. Therefore, Yixin's proposal can only be used as a last resort when it is absolutely necessary, and it is by no means the first choice at present.

And Yixin's affordability is not very affordable. Zhili and Shandong were both the bases of the Qing Dynasty, and even if Guoxing'a took over these two places, he would not be able to deal with the intertwined relationship between the localities for a while. Without more than ten or twenty years, if you put your own manpower down, these places will not become the base of Guoxinga at all. But will the imperial court be so cooperative with Guoxing's cronies? Even if the imperial court cooperates, what will happen after more than ten or twenty years, will Guoxinga turn his face with Yixin and not to mention, Yixin's political life is so long? He himself had to be cleaned up by Cixi! Huguang and Liangjiang were the territory of Zeng Guofan, and some of them are still in the hands of the Taiping army. Guo Xing'a wants these two treasures, so he has to fight with Zeng Guofan and Li Xiucheng, and it is clear that it is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. Yixin gave Guo Xing'a a blank check, and Guo Xing'a had to fight the actual territory himself. And as long as Guo Xing'a goes to the south, no matter what the outcome is, it will be the benefit of the imperial court, Zeng Guofan is also a big military leader, and Guo Xing'a and Zeng Guofan will die together is what the imperial court is most willing to see.

Guo Xing'a is a very lazy person, he also wants to care about anything, eat and wait for death to be a son. But he wants to change China and make the Chinese nation rejuvenate before it is destroyed. So although he is a little reluctant to have his own forces, the main reason why he does not accept Yi Xin's suggestion is that he still can't believe Yi Xin. Yi Xin also engaged in the Westernization Movement in history, but in the end it still disappeared. Although Guo Xing'a doesn't know the specific reason, he thinks that it is just the constraints of various forces, and Yixin's inability to get rid of his own limitations. Guo Xinga does not feel that he has the ability to break the feudal barriers, so it is not reliable to assist Yixin in reform, and it is safer to go it alone. At least if he was a warlord and went it alone, Guo Xing'a could implement a new model, everything according to his own, and completely ignore the set of things left by the imperial court.

Yi Xin's messenger went back with no reply, and when he sent him, Guo Xing'a was still a little reluctant, he was always worried that he had chosen the wrong one. However, in the afternoon, Guo Xing'a began to congratulate himself on his wise decision, because of the good news in the palace, Xianfeng eased up.

Xianfeng was in a coma for a total of seven days, but occasionally he moved slightly, not much stronger than a vegetative person, and then he suddenly opened his eyes like a corpse. Su Shun and a few others were too hard, and they were all a little sluggish, Xianfeng raised his neck, and a few people found out. Liu Ruyi and Chen Shengwen had already seen it, but they couldn't believe their eyes, they were defenseless, and they looked at Xianfeng stupidly.

"Your Majesty!" Su Shun, who found Xianfeng awake, jumped up directly from the chair.

Xianfeng didn't speak, but nodded to Su Shun with a comforting smile and motioned to sit up. Su Shun and Yi Xun looked at it, and hurriedly set Xianfeng up, Jing Shou took two pillows and leaned behind Xianfeng. Then several people knelt down beside Xianfeng's bed and looked at Xianfeng with concern.

Xianfeng smiled bitterly, and said weakly: "Don't worry! I'm much better, but I'm a little hungry. ”

"Pass the meal, pass the meal quickly!" With tears of joy, Su Shun hurriedly instructed the eunuchs to prepare food for Xianfeng. If you just wake up and don't want to eat, then Su Shun will have to prepare a pen and paper, because this is likely to be a return to the light. And wanting to eat is a good sign, indicating that Xianfeng has hope of turning the crisis into safety.

However, Su Shun was a little too happy to say anything, if the nobles in the palace wanted to eat, they would usually name what they wanted to eat, and it would be delivered soon. But it's different, the snacks you want are just for eating, so you make them very quickly. The meal is prepared according to the emperor's meal, and there is a set of things similar to exclusive ceremonies, and there are many things to be prepared alone.

Hearing that the emperor was going to eat, the palace suddenly became active, and the dark clouds that had shrouded people's hearts for several days suddenly dispersed. But since it's a meal, it can't be sloppy, eat one, look at two, look at three, just prepare more than 100 kinds of dishes, and wait for the imperial dining room to finish the work, Xianfeng has been waiting for more than an hour. No matter how good Xianfeng's appetite is, after it is set, he can't eat it. Under Su Shun's hard persuasion, he reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, ate a few mouthfuls of candied fruit, and then fell asleep groggily. Xianfeng ate these few bites, even a cat can't be fed, and he is worried about it.

"Chen Shengwen, immediately go and kill the eunuch who passed the meal! Bastard thing, the Holy Communion has just recovered, and he wants to eat something, and he dares to make the emperor wait for so long! "Su Shun has no place to spread the evil fire in his belly, so he can only take the eunuch who passes the meal to vent his anger.

"Huh!" Chen Shengwen is not under the control of Su Shun, and Su Shun has no right to execute internal officials, but no one inside and outside the palace of Su Shun's majesty does not know, and Chen Shengwen does not dare to touch his brow.

"Sixth brother, it's a great joy that the emperor's dragon is healthy, don't kill on such an auspicious day!" The fifth master also said that he was just nosy, he was the same as Jigong, where there was injustice, there was me. Obviously, Su Shun said the wrong thing, how could he be angry with the eunuch, so others didn't dare to care, and he was about to come out of this.

"Look at the face of the fifth master, borrow the blessing of the long live master, spare him! But let the minions below wake up, long live the dragon body has just recovered, a soup and a water are urgent, dare to delay it again, be careful of their heads! "Su Shun has always known the prestige of the little fifth master, and he also knows that he is indeed a little overdone, so he sold it to save face.

"Hey, hey, hey, the slave is the one who doesn't open his eyes, Fifth Master Xie, Lord Xie Zhongtang!" Chen Shengwen was smiling on the side, but he also muttered in his heart, Su Shun was too domineering.

As soon as Xianfeng slept, it was another day and a night, and he woke up again at noon the next day. This time, there is already a brilliance in his eyes, but it is much stronger than yesterday's deception, and it is good to see it at a glance. Su Shun took the lead and knelt down, the mountain shouted long live, and knelt for a while before getting up, his face was full of tears of joy, and he couldn't hide it.

Xianfeng ate something again, and said that he wanted to go down to the ground for a walk, Liu Ruyi supported him, walked from the bed to the window, still out of breath. Su Shun was afraid that Xianfeng would be reckless and tired again, so he hurriedly asked Chen Shengwen to move the rattan chair over and let Xianfeng sit down and rest.

"I'm really not going to do it, I can't walk these few steps, I'm tired! I'm out of breath! After Xianfeng sat down, his face was full of wry smiles, but there was a sense of relief on his expression.

"The emperor walks in a tiger's step, and his body is good. After a few more days, the dragon will definitely recover. Su Shun comforted Xianfeng with a face full of joy.

"Leave it to fate!" Xianfeng didn't seem to be looking forward to recovery, but looked at Su Shun's face with some distress.

"The eyes are red, so bloodshot, it looks even more scary! I'm thin, and my face is too bad! Stay up for a few more days, and you'll have to go ahead of me!" Xianfeng felt sorry for Su Shun, but he made a joke in his mouth.

"The slave is willing to serve the emperor in life and life! Even if he dies, he is willing. Su Shun slammed his head on the ground, and he was telling the truth.

"I know, I know, go back and rest! These days, you're boiled out! The court is still counting on you! Xianfeng wanted to pat Su Shun's shoulder, but his strength was exhausted, so he reluctantly touched Su Shun's head.

"Emperor Xie!" Su Shun endured it, but the tears came down again.

"I'm fine, let's go! Xianfeng leaned back in his chair and nodded at Su Shun.

Xianfeng seemed to be really fine, and Yi Cheng, Jing Shou, Yi Xun and Su Shun all exited the Dongnuan Pavilion together, preparing to go back to rest. Yicheng, Jingshou and Su Shun are all glad that Xianfeng has recovered, and Su Shun is somewhat grateful to Xianfeng for caring for him. The old Qi Yixun, who was at the end, was not happy, and he stayed up for several days, but as soon as Xianfeng woke up, there was only Su Shun in his eyes, and he didn't praise his own brother. Yiyun felt very aggrieved, complained about Xianfeng's partiality, and hated Su Shun, who was stealing the limelight.

That night, a group of concubines from Xianfeng came to greet the emperor, and the queen was afraid that the emperor would be tired, so she asked them to kowtow at the door. This was originally the idea of the queen and Concubine Yi, but after the concubines left, they were all complaining about Su Shun. Because the concubines can't see the emperor's words, the first thing is to say it from Su Shun's mouth, and the queen's will must also be Su Shun's words.

Guo Xing'a also came to see Xianfeng once, and gave Xianfeng two basin-sized Wang Ba to let Xianfeng replenish his body. In order to show his affection, Xianfeng met Guo Xing'a and said a few words that were not nutritious. Guo Xing'a also came to respond to the scene, and took a peek at the beautiful Concubine Li, and found that Concubine Li was not there, so he wanted to withdraw from the dragon body to recuperate. The king eight sent by Guoxing, Xianfeng looked good, but he didn't dare to eat it, so he let people send it away. However, at night, he asked the imperial dining room to boil Wang Ba soup for himself, and he also felt that this thing could be strong. The two big kings didn't spoil it, the eldest brother and the big Gege each had one by one, and they became the strange pets of the two children. When Xianfeng died and the little emperor returned to Beijing, he specially brought him back to Beijing and has been living well.

Xianfeng delayed for another two days, and his spirit and body were much better, and then he sent a decree to let Concubine Li sleep. Liu Ruyi took the will, and the heart of jumping into the river is gone, Xianfeng is playing with his life! However, Liu Ruyi did not have the courage to resist the decree, so he could only send his apprentice to send a letter to the queen, and he obediently went to find Concubine Li. Concubine Li listened to the will, and she was also frightened. Because Xianfeng is favored by her, there are many people in the harem who have opinions about her, and even the nonsense that she is a relative of Hong Xiuquan has been made up, and even Concubine Yi is somewhat dissatisfied. If it weren't for the queen who had been protecting her, these sisters in the harem would have eaten her raw without soy sauce.

Someone had asked the queen to sue Concubine Li for her misfortune, saying that the emperor's body was not good, because Concubine Li pestered Xianfeng day and night and squeezed Xianfeng dry. Although this is a bit detrimental, Xianfeng did recruit Concubine Li too often, and the queen specially told Concubine Li for this matter. Although Concubine Li felt very aggrieved, she also felt reasonable, and after that, she was afraid that the emperor would find her. Fortunately, the emperor fell ill, and she was secretly relieved. Unexpectedly, the emperor happened to pass her to bed again, which was fatal. Although Xianfeng has seen well, he is still a patient, and he is a weak patient, at this time, Xianfeng may die on her, how dare Concubine Li go.

However, the so-called destiny is difficult to violate, Xianfeng is determined to ask for something, and the queen has no choice, and no one can persuade her. You can't go to Su Shun for the emperor's night activities! Although Su Shun will definitely be able to persuade the emperor, the emperor can't afford to lose this person! So Concubine Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the East Warm Pavilion to sleep.
