In the Sanbeizi Garden in the west of the city, the presiding officers of Da Coat Temple, Wanshou Temple, and Tianning Temple, as well as the viewer of Baiyun Temple, sit in a pavilion in the back garden. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info and standing in the middle is really Feng Yunshan, who is guarded by Liu Shengbang.

He invited these eminent monks and Taoist monks from the western suburbs of Beijing to "witness" the peace talks between the Holy Kingdom and the Manchus.

Because Zuo Zongtang and others introduced in advance that they wanted to negotiate peace with the Manchu court, they preconceived that for the sake of the peace of the people, as long as the Manchus agreed to the "unharsh" conditions of the Holy State, they would cease the war and truce.

Then, these eminent monks and enlightened people were arranged to a specially prepared secret room, through the hole, they could see the negotiations of Luo Xuan, Zuo Zongtang and Gui Liang and others next door, but they could not hear what was said. On the side, there were staff officers of the staff department who had been prepared for a long time to explain on the side, and suddenly, several high-ranking monks and Taoist priests, together with the holy king Feng Yunshan, witnessed the process of dishonesty and tearing up the negotiation agreement by Guiliang, an important minister of the Manchu Dynasty.

Now, Feng Yunshan invited them to the back garden, precisely to use their mouths to publicize the fact that the Manchu Qing Dynasty tore up the negotiation agreement.

"Masters, you have also seen with your own eyes that it is not our holy country that wants to provoke a war, but it is really the Manchu Qing Dynasty who is not trustworthy and tears up the signed agreement without authorization. However, the king promised that as long as the Manchus agreed to the agreement on the division of the river, the Holy Kingdom could still have a truce! Feng Yunshan defined himself as the side of justice, and put the responsibility for causing the war on the Manchu Qing.

"However, I also ask you masters to widely publicize the benevolence and righteousness of our holy kingdom and expose the hateful face of the Manchu court!"

These temple abbots and Taoist priests, because they wanted to get another promise from Feng Yunshan, naturally agreed to it.

"The Holy King can rest assured that this temple will definitely carry forward the benevolence of the Holy Kingdom and the Holy King to all pilgrims."

"Yes, Holy King! There are dozens of disciples and thousands of pilgrims, and the old Tao will let them go around to preach the benevolence and righteousness of the holy king, and organize the people to meet the benevolent and righteous teachers of the captive army! The master of Baiyun Temple first expressed his attitude, and then continued with some trepidation: "I wonder if the Holy King can be gracious to my Taoist lineage spread in the Jingshi area?" ”

"Yes, Holy King, my disciple of Buddhism, I also ask the Holy King to be able to open up mountains and transform the fate in the area of Jingshi." Several abbots are also looking forward to it.

"It's nature! Buddhism and Taoism can be preached freely in the territory of our holy country, but the people must not be forced to believe in religion, let alone take the opportunity to seek wealth and harm the people. The point is that there must be no detrimental behavior to our holy kingdom. Feng Yunshan promised that it was impossible to ban Buddhism and Taoism, and it could also be forcibly restricted, so it was better to let it go directly, as long as it was within the scope of his own control, he adhered to the principle of religious freedom.

The Holy King laughed! My Buddha only wants to influence the people, how can I harm the people? Good, good, good! ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Holy King!"

Sending away the abbot and Taoist priest of this dry temple, Feng Yunshan turned his head and asked Zuo Zongtang, who came over: "Ji Gao, what is the secret matter of Gui Liang, and you want to deliberately support Nabayan?" ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly: "Holy King, that Gui Liang refuses to say to Zuo, he must meet the Holy King in person, and he is willing to say!" Looking at him, it shouldn't seem like a fake, there is something really wrong. ”

Feng Yunshan was a little confused, this Gui Liang, how could he want to see himself, did he want to surrender himself? Then why don't you just say it? By the way, he is the father-in-law of Nagong Lao Liu, could it be that he is here for Na Gong Lao Liu? Let's meet him.

Just about to go to see Gui Liang, he saw several messengers rushing to report: "Urgent report from the Holy King, King Yi and Master Tan!" They led the troops to attack the Qing Demon Chief Xianfeng at night, defeated the Qing Demon, captured several concubines of the Demon Chief, dozens of civil and military officials, and even the Qing Demon Queen and Prince Yi Zaiyuan were also captured. But it's a pity that the Qing Demon Chief Xianfeng escaped. ”

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed. For Xianfeng, he didn't have much hope of being captured in one fell swoop, after all, he was the Qing Demon Emperor, protected by thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was night, how could it be so easy to capture? But it was very exciting to be able to capture a queen and a prince.

I just don't know, did the future Cixi catch it? When they brought back the captives, it became clear.

Feng Yunshan, accompanied by Liu Shengbang, came to the side hall, Gui Liang was not beaten again, but his appearance was not much better, his clothes were not neat, when he saw Feng Yunshan coming in, his eyes lit up, he had already recognized Feng Yunshan, and glared at Liu Shengbang suspiciously, and said: "Holy King, can there be no outsiders......

Feng Yunshan directly interrupted his words, waved his hand and said, "This is the brother of this king, not an outsider!" As he spoke, he said impatiently: "If there is anything important, just say it quickly, this king has a lot of affairs and limited time!" ”

Gui Liang gritted his teeth and said with a cautious face: "Holy King, do you know what the relationship between Gui Liang and Prince Gong is?" ”

Feng Yunshan didn't know what to do, and shook his head.

"Prince Gong is Gui's son-in-law!" Gui Liang explained the origin of the matter and said, "This time, Prince Gong sent Gui Liang here, mainly to meet the Holy King and make a confidential deal with the Holy King face to face!" ”

"Make a deal?" Feng Yunshan was stunned by Gui Liang's words, he was stunned for a moment, then became excited, and hurriedly said: "What is the deal, please tell me in detail!" ”

"Cooperate with my prince A and help my prince ascend to the throne, in return, my prince can really agree to row the river with you, not the Yangtze River, but the Yellow River as the boundary? The territory of the Qing Dynasty south of the Yellow River was all returned to the Holy State. Gui Liang lowered his voice and said cautiously. However, these words were still like a thunderbolt, which shocked Feng Yunshan and Liu Shengbang.

It turned out that this Gong Lao Liu had the intention of compiling the throne and wanted to seize the throne of Xianfeng. I don't know what his desire to enthrone has to do with this king, and how he asked to come to this king. However, if you listen to it, you might be able to take advantage of it. But this is far from satisfying itself with the Yellow River as the boundary, although everyone knows that this is only a temporary agreement, and they will still fight each other in the future, but according to the development momentum of the Holy Country, the Yellow River is the boundary, and they have not taken advantage of it at all.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan remained silent and said, "I don't know what I need my holy country to do?" ”

"Does the Holy King know that the Qing Emperor has left the capital and has been hunting north? Gui Liang knows here that the route of the Qing Emperor's northern hunt can be provided to the Holy King, as long as the Holy King sends a horse team to go urgently, he can intercept it halfway and capture it! Gui Liang's face was hideous, in order for his daughter to become the queen, when the Qing Dynasty was in chaos, he actually chose such an extreme path.

"Haha!" Feng Yunshan laughed out loud, he thought that Gui Liang had something good to trade with him, but he couldn't think of it just such a bad idea! Gui Liang didn't know that he hadn't expected Xianfeng's escape route at all, and had already arranged it in advance, but unfortunately, he still couldn't capture it.

The stupid Gong Lao Liu and Gui Liang filled their minds with the idea of seizing the throne, and when they wanted to destroy their Manchu Dynasty, they even thought of seeking power and seizing the throne. Maybe this Gong Lao Liu wanted him to take charge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that he could reform and rectify and rise hard, but he thought too ideally.

Gui Liang didn't know why Feng Yunshan was laughing, could it be that this thief chief didn't want to? It's good for them to be a thief. Even if the thief chief knew that he was using them and used their knife to cut Xianfeng off, he should be happy to act as this knife! However, Feng Yunshan's next sentence surprised him.

"Lord Gui, isn't the Xianfeng Bei Hunt you are talking about, just passing through Changping, Huairou, Miyun, and going to Rehe Summer Palace through Gubeikou? Not only did this king know about it a long time ago, but he had already sent troops to ambush him! It's just that Xianfeng's life was big, so he escaped, but his queen and concubine, this king will arrange for the soldiers to help him take care of him for a while! Feng Yunshan was not afraid that Gui Liang would know that the north gate of Beijing had not been surrounded by troops, and the news would spread to Beijing City sooner or later.

Moreover, the more the Qing army and the people in the city know, the better, Feng Yunshan is ready to let the soldiers of the captive army outside the city and the outer city of Beijing to publicize it, and announce that the Manchu Emperor has fled north to Rehe, maybe he will go out of the customs and return to the ancestral land of Manchuria and give up the Beijing division, so that the military spirit in Beijing will be even more chaotic, and the captive army will be able to easily conquer Beijing City if it attacks again!

Gui Liang was stunned! He didn't expect that it would be like this, and he finally took the risk of proposing it to the thief chief, and it turned out to be the result. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also exposed his abacus, if the thief chief publicized this matter, although it could be said to be the slander of the Cantonese thief, not many people would believe it, but Gui Liang knew that Xianfeng, who was already very wary of his son-in-law and suspicious, would definitely believe it.

At that time, not only will Prince Gong not have a good life, but I am afraid that the whole family of his Guerjia clan will not end well.

Gui Liang panicked.

However, the hateful thief chief laughed, and his voice was gentle: "Lord Gui, don't worry, this king will not reveal what you said. However, this Beijing city is already in the king's pocket, and it must be taken. This king wants to ask Lord Gui to tell Prince Gong that the capital is good. It's better to leave early! ”

Gui Liang trembled, he knew that this was the demon in front of him threatening them, let them abandon the city of Beijing earlier, otherwise, it would probably be publicized.

He couldn't wait to beat himself with a big mouth, and he was fascinated by the devil, and he gave his son-in-law such a bad idea, wanting to use the thief chief, but he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot!
