The wind was blowing strongly, the black clouds were shrouded in the city of Beijing, the sky was dark, and the mood of Emperor Xianfeng was no different from this gloomy sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since his accession to the throne, Emperor Xianfeng has never been so embarrassed, even if he was captured by the Taiping army, captured Guangzhou by the British army, and forced by the foreigners to sign one unequal treaty after another, the face of the Emperor Xianfeng has never been so big this time, so completely lost!

The reason for the humiliation is, of course, that the Xianfeng Emperor's political envoy to Hubei Province, who was personally appointed by the Emperor Xianfeng, actually showed the Xianfeng Emperor's Zhu Bi Imperial Approval at will, and casually handed it over to a criminal official suspected of rape to watch, but was caught and not mentioned, and was sent to the capital through the post station channel, and sent to the military aircraft to ask the Xianfeng Emperor to distinguish the true from the fake!

That's not all, what is even more tragic for Emperor Xianfeng is that the imperial approval of the Zhu pen on this secret fold has completely exposed his suspicion of beware of the ugly face of the Han courtiers! Ironclad facts have proved that he never believed in any Han courtiers, Wang Qingyun and Xu Jiji, who worked hard to maintain stability in Shanxi, all the Han officials in Huguang and Guangzhou, and Wu Chaoyue, who was the most capable of fighting in the local governors! It proves that no matter how hard Wang Qingyun, Xu Jiji, and Wu Chaoyue are Han officials, no matter how meritorious they are, Emperor Xianfeng has never trusted them! It also proves that the only thing that Emperor Xianfeng believes is that there are only Manchurian minions!

If it weren't for the fact that Hua Lao Fox had kicked his legs and died of illness as the governor of Huguang, Emperor Xianfeng would definitely swear by the evil spirits of hell from the first to the eighth generation of wild boar skins, and he would definitely make Hua Shana, a Mongolian dog minion, regret being born in this world!

However, even if Hua Lao Fox was still supporting the Wild Boar Skin family until the last moment of his life, and retaining the last hope for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to completely quell the Taiping Army uprising, Emperor Xianfeng still wanted to pull the body of Hua Lao Fox out of the coffin, and personally whip and whip until the corpse of Hua Lao Fox was smoked to the point that there was no flesh left, and then he had to crush the bones and ashes, raid the house and destroy the door, and even the nine clans!

What a shame!

Emperor Xianfeng can be sure that it won't be long before the content of his reply on the auspicious secret fold will spread all over the capital and the world, making himself the laughing stock of the whole world and the object of contempt of the officials and the people! No matter how much he claims that the secret fold and Zhu Criticism are auspicious forgeries, no matter how he uses the propaganda machine to praise his merits and beautify himself, a clear-eyed person can still see at a glance whether this secret fold and the approval of the secret fold are true or not!

Su Shun, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and the military ministers headed by Peng Yunzhang were prostrate on the ground of the Yangxin Palace, all of them were on the ground, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, no one was not waiting for the thunderous anger of the Xianfeng Emperor, and no one did not admire the courage of the old fox in their hearts.

"I didn't expect the old man to be so considerate and caring for the little rabbit, I really misjudged him before. This old thing usually doesn't show the mountains and water, and it seems that he will only plant flowers and not thorns to be a good person, but he didn't expect that when he died, he would still have such courage and courage. ”

"Ping Pong!"

When Su Shun's heart completely changed his impression of the old fox of Hua, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the pseudo-dragon case of Emperor Xianfeng were finally sprinkled all over the ground, and Su Shun hurriedly followed Zaiyuan and others to shout that the ministers were waiting for ten thousand deaths, and the roar of Emperor Xianfeng was hysterical to the extreme, and finally echoed in the palace of nourishing hearts......

"Dog minion! Dog minion! Flower ......, auspicious! You dog minion! What a bold man, he dared to forge my Zhubi imperial approval, provoke the relationship between me and the officials of Shanxi and Huguang, and let me be centrifuged by the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and be suspicious of the top and bottom! If you don't cut you dog slave with a thousand knives and put you to death, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Dog minion! Dog minion————! ”

Emperor Xianfeng was scolding auspiciousness, but who he was really scolding, Su Shun and Peng Yunzhang and others knew more than one in their hearts, but no one dared to say it, and they had to help Emperor Xianfeng to increase the charge of auspiciousness and make more steps for Emperor Xianfeng. So although he knew that Jixiang had died unjustly, Peng Yunzhang, the chief of the military aircraft, still kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the crime of auspiciousness is far more than that, Huashana Hua Zhitai said in the excerpt that Jixiang forged this secret fold and the emperor's Zhu Approval in order to appease Liang Kefan, the former Shanxi political envoy Yamen who was suspected of being a ** people's daughter, and let Liang Kefan shut his mouth. ”

"Liang Kefan has followed Jixiang for many years, and Jixiang unscrupulously told him to shut up, thinking that he was afraid that Liang Kefan would atone for his crimes in order to survive and confess the crimes related to him, so it can be seen that I am afraid that Jixiang has already done things that are intolerable ...... national law when he was the political envoy of Shanxi."

"Needless to say!"

Emperor Xianfeng rudely interrupted Peng Yunzhang and roared angrily: "The auspicious forgery of my Zhubi imperial approval, separated from the Qing monarchs and ministers, the crime is unforgivable!" Even if Hua Aiqing has asked the king to behead him, his family can't let him go! Immediately raided his home, arrested his entire family, and handed over to the three law divisions for reconsideration! ”

"And that Liang Kefan! As an official of the imperial court, he was appointed to serve as the superintendent of the Hubei Lijin Bureau, and on the first day of the seal, he dared to be a **maid in the governor's yamen, what did such a beast keep for? Spread the message to Hubei, there is no need to release the capital, and ask for beheading on the spot! Isn't there another staff member who is also involved in the case? The party is attached to auspiciousness, and it is also cut together! ”

Without hesitation, he killed two insiders to kill him, but Emperor Xianfeng still refused to give up, and roared angrily: "Besides, send someone to Hubei to thoroughly investigate this case, investigate the case of Jixiang's forgery of Zhu Pi, write it into the Di newspaper, and send it to the world!" ”

"Master!" Su Shun was taken aback, quickly raised his head, and said cautiously: "Master, Jixiang is dead, and the other two parties are not punishable. ”

Emperor Xianfeng glared at Su Shun angrily, Su Shun knew that Emperor Xianfeng was so angry that he didn't think about it, so he could only be very helpless and added: "Master, the longer this case drags on, the bigger the movement, I'm afraid that the emperor's holy power will be more unfavorable." ”

Su Shun said it to this point, and Emperor Xianfeng finally remembered that this matter must not be tossed any longer, the longer the toss lasted, the greater the commotion, and the greater his face. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng had no choice but to nod helplessly and said, "Okay, let's do it, and ask Hubei to find out the truth of the case and close the case as soon as possible." ”

Su Shun respectfully agreed, and then gave Zaiyuan next to him a look, Zaiyuan understood, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Hua Shana died of illness, the governor of Huguang is vacant, and the current position of governor of Huguang is temporarily held by Wu Chaoyue, the governor of Hubei, I don't know if the emperor intends to let Wu Chaoyue take over the position of governor on the spot?" ”

Emperor Xianfeng didn't answer, and after thinking for a while, Emperor Xianfeng also asked Peng Yunzhang and others, "What do you mean?" Is Wu Chaoyue qualified to take over as governor of Huguang on the spot? ”

"Back to the emperor, Wu Chaoyue served as the governor of Hubei for four years, and he was good at governance in the outside and outside, and he was familiar with the situation in Huguang, so it was most suitable for him to take over as the governor of Huguang on the spot."

Everyone in the Military Aircraft Department answered in unison, including Mu Yin, who has always disliked Wu Chaoyue, is the same - no way, the current situation is here, if Emperor Xianfeng still insists on refusing to let Wu Chaoyue be promoted to the governor of Huguang, it is equivalent to a disguised confession of auspicious secret folds is not a forgery. Therefore, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, Mu Yin could only work with his colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department to make the Xianfeng Emperor step down, so as not to make it difficult for the Xianfeng Emperor.

It's a pity that Emperor Xianfeng still didn't dare to be completely at ease with Wu Chaoyue, so he naturally refused to deal with the slaves of the military plane, and refused to say anything after thinking about it for a long time. Su Shun over there saw that it was not good, so he could only hurriedly say to Emperor Xianfeng: "Master, Weichen thinks that Wu Chaoyue is too young, and his qualifications are not enough, so it is too risky to directly promote him to the governor of Huguang, so Weichen does not dare to agree with the discussion of the Military Aircraft Department." ”

When Emperor Xianfeng heard the amusement, he quickly nodded and said, "I am also so worried, Su Aiqing, what do you think about the position of Governor of Huguang?" ”

When everyone squinted at Su Shun in surprise, Su Shun said eloquently: "Weichen suggested that the emperor might as well let Wu Chaoyue temporarily act as the governor of Huguang for a period of time as the governor of Hubei, to observe whether he is properly dispatching troops in the position of governor of Huguang, and also to observe whether he serves as the governor of Huguang, and then decide whether to send another governor or let Wu Chaoyue officially serve as the governor of Huguang, it is not too late." ”

"! I thought it was the sun coming out of the west, but it turned out that dogs still can't change their! ”

Mu Yin Mu Zhongtang had the urge to strangle Su Shun Su Zhongtang to death, because Su Zhongtang's words seemed to suppress Wu Chaoyue, so that Wu Chaoyue could not officially serve as the governor of Huguang, but in fact, it was the governor of Huguang and the governor of Hubei who handed over the power to Wu Chaoyue, so that Wu Chaoyue was in charge of both money and troops in Hubei, and also managed the soldiers and horses of Hunan. With the means of bending and stretching to promote the party, Mu Zhongtang couldn't help but admire a little while scolding, it was indeed high.

It was still a pity for Mu Zhongtang, for the sake of face, he didn't dare to send another Manchurian governor to Huguang at this time, and he didn't worry about letting Wu Chaoyue officially control the Huguang army, which is currently the strongest in the Central Plains, even though Emperor Xianfeng knew that doing so would make Wu Chaoyue too powerful for a period of time, he still nodded and said: "What Su Aiqing said is exactly what I want, and I will send an edict to Hubei, so that Wu Chaoyue, the governor of Hubei, will temporarily act as the governor of Huguang, so as to see the after-effects." ”

Casually promulgating this decree, Emperor Xianfeng said viciously in his heart: "Little barbarian, don't be too happy, as soon as the limelight passes, I will send a Manchurian governor to Huguang for a reason, and still take back my Huguang military power!" ”

As a result, this time the poor Hubei envoy Li Qinggu and Li Zhentai were finally the daughter-in-law of many years, and they were able to be promoted to the political envoy to replace Jixiang in charge of Hubei's taxation and personnel assessment, and the post of Hubei envoy was taken over by Lu Shenhui, the prefect of Hanyang, who had outstanding political achievements. - By the way, Lu Shenhui is also the person who Wu Chaoyue picked up from the appointment of the magistrate of Hanchuan.

During this period, although Emperor Xianfeng also wanted to shoehorn a Manchurian into the three divisions of Hubei, he considered that he needed to cover up his suspicion of the ugly face of the Han people, and Li Qinggu and Lu Shenhui, two Han officials, should have been promoted regardless of their performance evaluation, so they could only grit their teeth and dispel the idea, and allowed the Han people to control the civil affairs, finances and justice of a province at the same time.

"Let the Han barbarians be proud for a few days, and immediately adjust the personnel of Huguang after the limelight, the governor of Hubei must no longer use the Han barbarians, and the Eight Banners garrison on the Jingzhou side must also be strengthened."

After chanting this sentence in his heart, Emperor Xianfeng, who was getting more and more addicted to cigarettes, couldn't help but yawn and said, "Is there anything else?" If you're gone, kneel down, right? ”

"Your Majesty, there is still something about the flower system of Taiwan." Peng Yunzhang hurriedly said: "According to the rules of the imperial court, he must be given a nickname after his death, I don't know what nickname the emperor gave him?" ”

"Ugly!" Emperor Xianfeng didn't even think about it, so he said two words viciously.

"Ugly?"

Peng Yunzhang and Su Shun and others were all dumbfounded, and only then did they understand how much Emperor Xianfeng hated Hua Lao Fox in his heart - out of office for more than 30 years, Hua Lao Fox has always been the firefighting captain of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and has held important positions in the six ministries of the Cabinet, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and the localities, and has made considerable contributions to governance, economy and imperial examinations. One of these five words is eligible to enjoy. And Emperor Xianfeng directly gave Hua Lao Fox the nickname of 'Ugly', and he hated Hua Lao Fox to that point in his heart, which can be seen from this.

Fortunately, Emperor Xianfeng also knew that the nickname of Fool and Ugly was too appalling, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Secret, just give Hua Aiqing this nickname." ”

"Sorry, pitiful, secret, repentant."

Su Shun, Peng Yunzhang and others silently interpreted the nickname given by Emperor Xianfeng to the old fox, and couldn't help but be full of sympathy for the old fox - he worked hard and was a lackey for more than 30 years, and when he was dying, he just did something that made the master unhappy, and he ended up in this fate.

"Kneel down, I still have something to do."

Emperor Xianfeng didn't have the heart to pay attention to the rabbit death fox sorrow of the slave courtiers, and after expelling the slaves and leaving, when he yawned and returned to the harem to smoke a big cigarette, Emperor Xianfeng still said viciously in his heart: "Dog slave, wait, wait for the long hair to be pacified, Wu Chaoyue that barbarian is useless, see how I clean you up!" ”

…………

Ten years is not too late for the master to take revenge! Emperor Xianfeng's high wind and bright festival is certainly worthy of admiration, but what Emperor Xianfeng never dreamed of was that on the same day, the British and French combined fleet, which was far larger than the One Raven War, under the leadership of the British and French plenipotentiaries Ergin and Gro, suddenly drove into the mouth of the Pearl River, drove directly to the city of Guangzhou to anchor, and quickly replenished food, drinking water and coal.

"Break into the city of Beijing! A lesson to the stupid Qing court! A lesson they will never forget! ”

This was the war cry directly shouted by the combined Anglo-French fleet, and on this huge fleet, more than 15,000 British soldiers and more than 7,000 French soldiers were carried. In addition, more than 2,000 Guangdong Xiangyong, who accepted the British hired to join the Combined Fleet to undertake auxiliary tasks, helped the British army go north to fight the city of Beijing.

Don't be surprised, after Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, was captured and starved to death in India, Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong, and Mukdenne, the general of Guangzhou, chose to surrender to the British and manage the Guangzhou area for the British side. (To be continued.) )
