As the saying goes, when the old comprador Wu Jianzhang was unlucky, not only did no one in the court take care of him, but there were as many folds as there were in the well, and the Qingliu Yushi who shouted that he was robbed of his house and destroyed the door was also a few more than the eight kings in the Yongding River.

And when it came to the unlucky time of the leader of the Qingliu Dynasty, although the Xianfeng Emperor had already roared that Weng Xin was guilty of his crimes, the minister who investigated Weng Xincun was still the big red man Su Shun in front of the Xianfeng Emperor, and there were still countless people who pleaded for Weng Xincun, and the main force of them was in addition to the Qingliu Yushi and Weng Xincun's fellow villagers in the same year, there was no shortage of court officials, and even the military aircraft Zhongtang, and even the military aircraft minister Saishang A, who was presiding over the encirclement and suppression of the Taiping Army in Hunan, went to the fold to intercede for him, begging the Xianfeng Emperor to open the net, Let Weng have a horse.

Among the ministers of military aircraft, the most enthusiastic people to rescue Weng Xin are Mu Yin and Lin Kui, these two masters not only have a very good friendship with Weng Xin, who is an official in the same dynasty, but also are the masters of the military aircraft department this year. And Weng Xincun has been an official for 30 years, many times to supervise the study and preside over the township test, protégés and disciples are all over the world, is the leader of the Qingliu appointed by the government and the opposition, and is very influential in the imperial history officials, at this time, Laweng has a handful, which is naturally equivalent to selling a big favor to those in the capital who rely on the sword and pen to eat the imperial historian, and has infinite benefits to Mu Yin and Lin Kui's reputation, so as long as they seize the opportunity, Mu Yin and Lin Kui will definitely say good things for Weng Xincun in front of Emperor Xianfeng, and ask Emperor Xianfeng to be lenient with Weng.

It's a pity that Weng Xincun's disaster this time is too great, no matter how much Mu Yin, Lin Kui and civil and military officials plead for him, it will not help, and Emperor Xianfeng, who was so anxious about the foreigners' troops that his mouth was foaming, refused to let go of his mouth to forgive Weng Xincun, and after Weng Tongshu and Song Jin were framed by Wu Chaoyue, Emperor Xianfeng was even more annoyed with Weng Xincun's father and son, and even more unwilling to be lenient with Weng Xincun.

Just when Mu Yin, Lin Kui and others were gradually despairing about the rescue of Weng, on the same day that the devil led the ancestors and grandsons of the Wu family to Dagukou to negotiate with the foreigners, an impeachment twist was suddenly sent to the military aircraft - the street patrol Yushi Fan will impeach Wu Jianzhang for conniving at his grandson Wu Chaoyue to commit murder on the street, and threaten the tax collector with a foreign gun in Chongwenmen! And coincidentally, this excerpt happened to be first seen by Mu Yin, who had never looked at the ancestors of the Wu family unpleasantly, but Mu Yin was not in a hurry to submit it to Emperor Xianfeng in addition to being pleasantly surprised, but temporarily withheld it, preparing to wait for Emperor Xianfeng to be in a very bad mood before submitting to the Imperial Review, first let Emperor Xianfeng send the fire of the ancestors of the Wu family, and then take the opportunity to excuse Weng Xincun.

The opportunity soon came, and on the evening of the 17th, Akdan, the imperial guard who was responsible for protecting Devil Six, suddenly sent an urgent report, saying that Devil Six did not listen to dissuasion, and only took twenty unarmed retinues to Dagukou Fort to negotiate with the foreigners. Qi Liaozao, who first saw this urgent report, did not dare to slack off, and as soon as he went to court the next day, Qi Liaozao immediately reported the situation to Emperor Xianfeng, and as a result, Emperor Xianfeng was immediately furious.

"Confused! Why is Yixun so confused? He will do what the foreigners want him to do, not to mention the loss of the national body, what if the foreigners take the opportunity to detain him and force him to sign the treaty? What if the foreigner forces him to pay millions of taels of silver, and he also signs? This Yixu is simply confused! ”

Listening to the roar of Emperor Xianfeng, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all sad, and they were afraid that the sixth brother of Emperor Xianfeng would be forced by force by foreigners to sign a treaty that would never be accepted by the imperial court. However, Emperor Xianfeng was more and more furious, and shouted: "Immediately draft an order, let Yixun immediately return to the military grain city, and negotiate with the foreigners under the protection of the Qing army!" Bastard thing, I have to worry about such a trivial matter for him, it's simply incompetent! ”

The courtiers only accepted the order, and then the monk Lingqin stood up and said to Emperor Xianfeng: "Long live, this matter cannot be completely blamed on the sixth prince, after all, he is young, and it is the first time to deal with foreigners, and it is understandable for a moment of negligence." The hateful thing is that Wu Jianzhang, who has dealt with foreigners for so many years, is familiar with the tyranny and arrogance of foreigners, and even did not stop the six princes, his crime can be punished! ”

Emperor Xianfeng nodded with an unkind expression, disgusted with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wu family, and then Lin Kui immediately jumped out, and said with a nervous expression: "Your Majesty, if the sixth prince went to negotiate with the foreigner-controlled Dagukou Fort was secretly instigated by Wu Jianzhang and his grandson, then I am afraid this matter will be even more dangerous." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xianfeng's face, which was a little thinner than Wu Chaoyue, jumped, and he immediately began to worry that the ancestors of the Wu family were secretly colluding with foreigners, and deliberately instigated the devil to go to Dagukou Fort to make fish on the anvil. And after secretly scolding the sixth brother for his incompetence, Emperor Xianfeng also shouted: "Remember, if Prince Gong has a fold to send, no matter when, it must be sent to me immediately!" ”

As several military ministers agreed, Mu Yin inevitably regretted that he didn't take the excerpt related to the ancestors of the Wu family with him, and missed a great opportunity to add fuel to the fire. However, Mu Yin didn't feel too sorry, because Mu Yin believed that the negotiation between Devil Six and the foreigners would never go smoothly, and he still had the opportunity to avenge Weng Xin's father and son!

Even Mu Yin didn't expect the next opportunity to come so quickly, after the dispersal, a military plane had just returned to the military plane under the leadership of the chief military aircraft Qi Liaozao, and the buttocks had not yet sat firmly, and a group of sub-military aircraft Zhang Jing had not finished saluting one by one, and an urgent twist of the devil six had already been sent to the military aircraft. And Qi Liaozao took the fold and opened it to look at it a few times, and immediately complained repeatedly, "Oh no, things are more difficult to do now." ”

"Lord Qi, why is it more difficult to do?" Peng Yunzhang, another minister of military aircraft, hurriedly asked.

"The appetite of foreigners is bigger than last time." Qi Liaozao replied with a sad face: "Not only did he force us to open the Yangtze River route, including Hankou and Jiujiang, ten treaty ports, but also raised the indemnity to two million taels of silver. ”

"Why do foreigners want to increase indemnity and open more commercial ports?" Peng Yunzhang asked in surprise.

"I didn't say anything about it." Qi Liaozao shook his head and said: "Prince Gong just said that the foreigners gave us two choices, one is to accept the previous conditions, to open Tianjin trade and allow them to establish an embassy in the capital, and the other is to accept the current conditions, not to open Tianjin and not to build an embassy, to open five more treaty ports and increase indemnity. ”

"The foreigners have seen our weakness." Peng Yunzhang cried out, "The emperor may be able to agree to other conditions, but the emperor will never agree to the opening of Tianjin trade and the establishment of an embassy in the capital!" ”

Qi Liaozao nodded in distress, and also admitted that the foreigners were aiming at the weakness of the Qing Dynasty at this time, and Mu Yin next to him was also shocked, but also quickly came back to his senses, and quickly reminded as soon as his eyes rolled: "Lord Qi, the emperor has a will, and the excerpt of the six princes must be presented to him immediately." ”

Qi Liaozao nodded again, and hurriedly arranged for everyone to stay at the military aircraft, and he went to ask Emperor Xianfeng to pass on the fold, Mu Yin saw that this opportunity was better, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qi, I will go with you, and it just so happens that I also have an excerpt that must be submitted to the emperor." ”

Handed this excerpt must face the anger of Emperor Xianfeng, Qi Liaozao was eager for someone to share it for him, so naturally he did not refuse, Mu Yin hurriedly took out the excerpt to impeach the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wu family, and hurriedly entered the palace with Qi Liaozao to ask for a meeting.

When Qi Liaozao and Mu Yin saw Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Xianfeng was having lunch, and when he saw Qi Liaozao and others coming in, Emperor Xianfeng hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked nervously, "How is it?" What did Yi Xun say on the excerpt? ”

Knowing that Emperor Xianfeng would definitely be furious, Qi Liaozao didn't even dare to say more, but tremblingly handed the excerpt to the eunuch and asked the eunuch to forward it to Xianfeng. And seeing Qi Liaozao's appearance, Emperor Xianfeng had already guessed that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took the fold and opened it to take a look, but without a few glances, the dishes and chopsticks in front of Emperor Xianfeng flew into the air together, "Foreign devil!" The deception is too great! The deception is too great! ”

Qi Liaozao, Mu Yin and the eunuchs present all knelt down on their knees, and they didn't dare to look at Emperor Xianfeng's angry expression with their foreheads on the ground, and Emperor Xianfeng kept roaring, "It's bearable, it's unbearable!" Spread my will, ring the bell, call the big up, I want to declare war on these foreign devil countries! Fight them to the death! ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!" Qi Liaozao's three souls were frightened, and he hurriedly kowtowed and admonished: "Long live, the long hair is not peaceful now, don't declare war on foreigners again!" We must not declare war on foreigners again! ”

"If you don't declare war on foreigners, do you want me to agree to all the shameless threats of foreigners?"

"Long live, the foreigners are asking for a price, we can still bargain on the ground, the emperor only needs to make another will, so that Prince Gong can continue to fight with the foreigners. If war is really declared on foreigners, then the matter will be irreparable! ”

Fortunately, Emperor Xianfeng's courage was not as great as his daughter-in-law's courage - he dared to declare war on eight countries at the same time, and in addition, the foreigners did not force Emperor Xianfeng to hand over power to others this time, and they did not force Emperor Xianfeng to a desperate situation. Therefore, after Qi Liaozao kowtowed and begged for a long time, Emperor Xianfeng, who was slightly angry, withdrew his order and changed his words: "Draft, let Yixun never accept the new conditions of the foreigners, so that he can clearly tell the foreigners that unless the foreigners make concessions themselves, there is no need to talk about it again!" Foreigners must fight, and the Qing court will accompany them to the end! ”

"Then the emperor, do you want to give Prince Gong a maximum concession limit?" Qi Liaozao asked cautiously.

Emperor Xianfeng calculated with a straight face, Mu Yin saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is absolutely impossible to explain to Prince Gong the concession limit of our Qing Dynasty in his will, and to prevent the appearance of traitors around Prince Gong, and quietly reveal the details of our Qing Dynasty to foreigners." ”

Emperor Xianfeng looked at Mu Yin suspiciously, Mu Yin observed his words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look at Prince Gong's fold, the fold clearly says that the foreigners gave Prince Gong two choices, one is to let Prince Gong agree to all the conditions proposed by the foreigners before, and the other is to promise the conditions they are now offering. This is enough to show that the foreigners actually knew the weakness of our Qing Dynasty for a long time, so Wei Chen suspects that there may be someone around Prince Gong who secretly conspired with foreigners and quietly betrayed the true bottom of our Qing Dynasty! ”

Hurriedly picked up the handwriting of Devil No. 6 and took a closer look, and found that the situation was really as Mu Yin said, the foreigners really grabbed the two points of Tianjin Trade and the Embassy, and they had to extort even more inches. Emperor Xianfeng soon became angry again, gritted his teeth and said: "Look at this situation, it is very likely that there is a foreigner spy around Yixun, you say, who will this spy be?" ”

Qi Liaozao and Mu Yin were silent, because they knew that Emperor Xianfeng must already have an answer in his heart, and sure enough, Emperor Xianfeng only thought about it for a while, and immediately shouted: "Pass the decree, immediately recall Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandsons to the capital, and they can't let them negotiate with Yixin anymore!" ”

Qi Liaozao, who had helped Lan Guiren to instigate Emperor Xianfeng to use Wu Jianzhang, agreed with a sad face, knowing that he would definitely eat melons this time, and Mu Yin was secretly happy in his heart, so he quickly took out the excerpt again, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, about Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandsons, Weichen also has an excerpt to petition the Imperial Review, and the Imperial History Fan will play the ginseng, Su Song Taibing prepared for Wu Jianzhang's entry into Beijing, passing through Chongwenmen and having a quarrel with the tax collector, conniving at his grandson to threaten the Chongwenmen tax collector with a foreign gun, please long live the tribunal." ”

"And this?" Emperor Xianfeng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the eunuch to take the excerpt from Mu Yin, but before he could finish reading the excerpt, the green tendons were already jumping on Emperor Xianfeng's forehead, and the imperial meal on the table also suffered - more than a dozen dishes were swept to the ground by Emperor Xianfeng, and the roar of anger to the extreme once again reached the ears of Qi Liaozao and Mu Yin, "Lawless!" This Wu Chaoyue is simply lawless! Dare to show a foreign gun in Chongwenmen, and dare to point a foreign gun at the Chongwenmen tax collector to threaten! Doing such a bad thing is simply a crime that deserves death! Sin deserves death! ”

Hearing this roar, of course Mu Yin was laughing as happily as he could, and Qi Liaozao next to him was secretly angry in his heart, saying that you Mu Yin was ruthless enough, and he thought that Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandsons died quickly enough and came to fan the flames, I don't care how you rectified Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandchildren before, but this time I suggested that the emperor should summon Wu Jianzhang to Beijing to help Qin Cha negotiate, and I also have a share, you don't care about the trouble and I desperately stab the black knife, don't blame me for not being polite to you!

After making up his mind, Qi Liaozao was no longer polite, and immediately asked Mu Yin: "Lord Mu, if I remember correctly, Wu Jianzhang entered Beijing on June 13, right?" What happened on June 13, why did you not submit the excerpt to the emperor until June 18 today? ”

"It's ......."

It was Mu Yin's turn to be dumbfounded, but Qi Liaozao was unrelenting, and said: "Master Mu, do you know that if you had presented this excerpt to the emperor earlier, how could the emperor still send Wu Jianzhang to Prince Gong as his deputy?" How can there be the current Wu Jianzhang suspected of secretly communicating with foreigners? ”

Mu Yin was even more speechless, and Emperor Xianfeng carefully looked at the date of the excerpt as June 15, and suddenly became furious, and shouted: "Mu Yin, the excerpt of June 15, why did you only submit it to me today?" Do you know that if you hand me the fold right away, I will let Wu Jianzhang continue to help Yixin negotiate with the foreigners? ”

When the sweat was rolling on his forehead, the eunuch who suddenly came in saved Mu Yin's life, and the eunuch played: "Your Majesty, Peng Yunzhang, Minister of Military Aircraft, handed over a sign to ask for a meeting, saying that there is an excerpt from Prince Gong, please summon the emperor." ”

"What's wrong? Why is there another excerpt? ”

Emperor Xianfeng and Qi Liaozao were both taken aback, and a sense of foreboding was born in their hearts, and under the shock, Emperor Xianfeng hurriedly ordered a summons, and Mu Yin, who was already speechless, also regained a little hope, and said secretly: "It is best for Prince Gong to find out that Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandsons are secretly colluding with foreigners, and it is best to have such an excerpt!" ”

After a while, Peng Yunzhang walked into the room quickly with an excerpt, Emperor Xianfeng was so anxious that before Peng Yunzhang knelt down, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on again?" Good news or bad news? ”

"Your Majesty, it's good news!" Peng Yunzhang said with a smile on his face: "Gong Wang Ye, under the arguments of him and Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandchildren, the foreigners finally made a major concession, no longer insisting on building an embassy in the capital, and no longer opening so many treaty ports, as long as we promise to open three new treaty ports in Chaozhou, Wenzhou and Tainan." ”

"Only open these three ports?" Emperor Xianfeng was pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked, "What about the silver?" How much money do foreigners want us to lose? ”

Peng Yunzhang raised two fingers with a smile on his face and replied: "Long live, 200,000 taels, foreigners only need 200,000 taels of silver this time." ”

"So little?" In fact, Emperor Xianfeng, who gave the devil a surprise of 500,000 taels of silver, couldn't believe his ears, and asked repeatedly: "Foreigners really only need 200,000 taels of silver?" How did he convince foreigners? ”

"Long live, it's really 200,000 taels." Peng Yunzhang nodded, and said: "How did Prince Gong persuade the foreigners to make concessions, the excerpt didn't say it, Prince Gong just said that this time the foreigners could make concessions, Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandchildren have made great contributions, especially Wu Jianzhang's grandson Wu Chaoyue, and he should be given the first credit." Prince Gong also asked for a decree, whether to accept the conditions offered by foreigners? ”

Excited, he took over the fold from Peng Yunzhang's hand, Emperor Xianfeng only roughly saw the new conditions offered by the foreigners, and he didn't have time to consider what those supplementary terms meant, so he immediately shouted: "Send the decree and let him sign the treaty immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Xianfeng's mood was improving, Qi Liaozao's counterattack came again, and he smiled at Mu Yin and said: "Lord Mu, you should actually be credited this time, if it weren't for you to deduct the impeachment of Wu Jianzhang's ancestors and grandsons, Prince Gong would have negotiated with the foreigners this time, but there would be no two vital right-hand men." ”

Mu Yin didn't dare to say anything, but continued to put his forehead on the ground, and couldn't help lamenting in his heart, "Brother Erming, it's okay now, I'll help you and put me in." ”
