The main reason why Aixin Jueluo Yixun is known as Devil Six in history is that he is good at dealing with foreigners, and can partially accept the advanced Western culture and system that is indeed far beyond China at that time, and advocates learning advanced Western culture and technology, and later even learned a little foreign language, so he was called Devil Six by the pedantic and conservative late Qing scholars and the people of Beijing who were most seriously brainwashed by enslavement education, and also called the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen that he set up single-handedly as the Ghost Envoy Yamen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is precisely because of this that when the Russian Minister Ignatiev explained the importance of modern diplomacy in detail to Devil Liu, Devil Six quickly discovered Wu Chaoyue's evil intentions, and even combined with the current special situation of the Manchu court, he vaguely guessed that Wu Chaoyue even wanted to rely on diplomatic power to control the entire Manchu treaty ports, and completely monopolize the communication channels between the Manchu court and the Western powers.

As a descendant of wild boar skin, Devil Six certainly does not want the diplomatic power of the Manchu court to be controlled by Wu Chaoyue, let alone let Wu Chaoyue become the external mouthpiece of the Manchu court, so that Wu Chaoyue can speak on behalf of the Manchu court to the Western powers, which will not only make Wu Chaoyue, who falsely accuses himself of rebellion, more powerful, more clown, but also quite dangerous. Therefore, the devil did not hesitate, taking advantage of the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not yet been officially established in the capital of Hubei Province, he quickly found his fifth brother and seventh brother, briefed them on the situation and issued a warning, and urged them to write to Emperor Xianfeng, so that Emperor Xianfeng could take back his life and take back important diplomatic power.

It's a pity that the prince and the prince don't understand how important the diplomatic power of a sovereign country is, no matter how simple and straightforward the devil six is to introduce and explain, the prince and the prince always only think that - Emperor Xianfeng doesn't want foreign devils to live in the capital, and persuades Emperor Xianfeng to change his mind and agree to let foreigners stay in the capital is looking for death! In the end, he was annoyed by the devil six, and the prince also said to the devil six: "Sixth brother, since you think it is inappropriate to let the foreign minister be stationed in Hubei, then you can simply go to Rehe to meet the imperial brother in person, introduce the situation you said to the imperial brother in person, and ask the imperial brother to take back his life." ”

After hesitating for a long time, in order to perpetuate the wild boar skin family, even though he knew that he might anger Emperor Xianfeng, Devil Six still begged Emperor Xuan, who is currently serving as a prisoner, to allow him to go north to Rehe, but Prince Xuan did not hesitate, and immediately found an excuse for Devil Six to go north, so that Devil Six could go to Rehe to meet Emperor Xianfeng, and by the way, he asked Emperor Xianfeng to determine the date of returning to the dynasty in order to arrange to greet him.

With the official duties entrusted by the prince, the devil six set off north the next day, and arrived at Rehe smoothly after more than three days, but in front of the Rehe palace, the devil six asked to meet the Xianfeng Emperor immediately, but was categorically rejected by Su Shun, the minister in charge. Not only that, Su Shun was also very unhappy and asked the devil six: "Sixth master, as a prince, why did you leave the capital without a holy decree?" Don't you know that this is a violation of the ancestral family law? ”

"It was the prince who asked me to come on behalf of him and the prince to say hello to Banzai, and implore the emperor to return to Beijing as soon as possible." The devil replied with a swallowed voice.

"Is there a recital?" Su Shun asked in a big way, and after the devil six hurriedly took out the fold of the prince, Su Shun first asked people to follow, and then ordered: "Go back to the pavilion to rest, if the emperor orders to summon you, I will send someone to pass you on." ”

Even the title of prince has been taken captive, of course Devil Six did not dare to argue with Su Shun, and obediently returned to the pavilion to rest and wait for his life, but what made Devil Six strange was that he waited in the pavilion for two days, and he didn't even wait for any news. Devil Zi Liu felt strange, so he ran to the gate of the palace again to ask for a meeting, but this time he didn't even see Su Shun, so he was driven back to the pavilion by the guards sent by Su Shun to continue waiting.

"Su Shun, what are you doing? Could it be the fifth brother's excerpt, he hasn't presented it to the imperial brother yet, right? ”

When I was puzzled in the pavilion, at noon the next day, someone suddenly came to report outside the inn, saying that there was an old man who asked to see, and the devil who had no acquaintance in Rehe was confused, but he still ordered to summon him, and the result was very soon, a man dressed as a civilian was led to the front of the devil six, and then when he looked at the person's appearance carefully, the devil six was even more surprised, and blurted out: "An ......!" ”

Devil Six's exclamation was interrupted by An Dehai, the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, who was wearing the clothes of the people, with eyes and gestures, and after coming to his senses, Devil Six hurriedly ordered the servants to guard the doors and windows, and then asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law An, why are you here in person?" How can you still dress up like this? ”

"Sixth master, the slave has to be careful now." An Dehai was not obscure, as soon as they met, he cried about his current miserable situation, saying that after he arrived in Rehe, because he had no heart palace to manage, he was squeezed out of the side of Emperor Xianfeng by Han Laiyu, the chief eunuch who had always been at odds.

Of course, the sixth devil didn't have the heart to care about the power struggle between the eunuchs and slaves, but immediately asked An Dehai about his intentions, and An Dehai also said: "Sixth master, it was Master Yi who asked the slave to come, and the slave saw you waiting in front of the palace gate yesterday, so he told Master Yi about it." As a result, last night it was Master Yi who waited for the master to go to bed, during which the master did not mention the matter of the sixth master you coming to Rehe, Master Yi felt strange, so he sent a slave here to inquire directly about the news from you. ”

"Brother Huang really doesn't know that I've arrived in Rehe?"

Devil Liu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly told An Dehai about the fact that he had been in Rehe for three days, and said that he asked Su Shun to submit the fold on his behalf. As a result, An Dehai gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said: "I was really guessed by Master Yi, sure enough, it was a ghost made by Su Zhongtang, and he deliberately didn't let the master know that the sixth master had come to Rehe, and he didn't want you to meet." ”

"Then does the imperial sister-in-law know why Su Shun doesn't want me to see the imperial brother?" Devil Six hurriedly asked.

"This master Yi didn't say it." An Dehai shook his head and said: "But the slave is foolish, Su Zhongtang may be afraid that after the sixth master and you meet the master, the master will reward you with the title of messenger." Because the master has mentioned the sixth master in front of Master Yi several times, praise the sixth master, this time you took the initiative to ask for help in the fifth master, the seventh master and the foreign devil negotiated, and acted very responsibly, it seems that there is a plan to reward you and reappoint you. ”

Devil Six suddenly realized, and also gritted his teeth at Su Shun - in order not to give himself a chance to make a comeback, he really can use any means!

After the secret hatred, of course, Devil Six immediately begged An Dehai to bring a message to his imperial sister-in-law Yi Guifei, and asked the sister-in-law to try to let the imperial brother know that he had arrived in Rehe to summon him, An Dehai agreed, and then quickly said goodbye and left. At the time of breaking up, Devil Six asked Emperor Xianfeng about his current situation, but An Dehai's frowning answer made Devil Liu's heart tighten.

"The master's current situation is not very good, the dragon's body is a little sick, not only drinking more and more, but also pumping the longevity Ruyi ointment more and more, no matter who persuades the master, he refuses to listen. Master Yi was worried about ....... ”

"Worried about what?" Devil Six hurriedly asked.

"The slave doesn't dare to say it, the sixth master, you just know it in your heart."

An Dehai's answer made Devil Six's heart tense again, and Devil Six couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Could it be that the imperial brother is so sick that there is a possibility of death?" It won't be that fast, right? ”

…………

It is convenient to have a direct channel to the pillow, and I don't know that Yi Guifei used a means, so on the morning of the next day, a decree came from the palace to let the devil go to the palace to see the driver. The devil was overjoyed when he received his life, and he hurriedly changed his formal clothes and entered the palace with the eunuch of the decree, and was led into the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall of the Rehe Palace under the indifferent and hostile eyes of Su Shun and Zaiyuan and others, and finally saw the Xianfeng Emperor who had been in Rehe for two months.

Since being falsely accused by Wu Chaoyue of plotting rebellion and imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, Devil Six has not been able to see Emperor Xianfeng again for more than half a year, but after seeing the appearance of Emperor Xianfeng clearly at this meeting, Devil Six was immediately taken aback - I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Emperor Xianfeng's appearance has become a little too much for Devil Six to recognize, not to mention the whole weight loss, the skin on his face is obviously much darker, his cheekbones are prominent, and his cheeks are inverted, looking like a common opium smoker in the capital, or the kind of smoker who smokes opium very seriously.

There is something that makes the devil's six hearts tremble, the Xianfeng Emperor who is listening to the play not only openly placed an opium smoking gun and a wine pot and a wine glass in front of him, but also hugged a beautiful woman with small feet in his arms, and did not let go of the woman when he saw the devil's six kowtows, and laughed at the woman: "Baby, let me introduce you, he is my sixth brother Yixun, call the sixth master quickly." ”

The woman got up and wanted to give the devil six salutes, but the Emperor Xianfeng held her down, slapped the woman's body with his thin hand, and said to the devil six with a smile: "Sixth brother, when did you arrive in Rehe, why don't you come directly to the palace to ask me for peace?" ”

Without waiting for the sixth devil to answer, Su Shun hurriedly said: "Master, the sixth master has been coming to Rehe for a few days, a few days ago, the master you were not in good health, and there were many political affairs, so the slave was not in a hurry to report, and wanted to wait for the master to play when you were free." ”

"I see."

Emperor Xianfeng nodded, and did not pursue Su Shun's misreporting, but just beckoned the devil six to sit down, and then asked the devil what he meant, and the devil six hurriedly said that he asked the Xianfeng Emperor for the fifth brother and the seventh brother, and said that he wanted to ask the Xianfeng Emperor to return to the court quickly. Emperor Xianfeng shook his head and said: "I have received the wishes of the fifth and seventh elders, but I live very well in Rehe, the foreigners have just left, the situation in the capital has not yet been completely settled, and I don't want to go back in a hurry." ”

Devil Zi Liu insisted again, but Emperor Xianfeng resolutely didn't listen, and then took the initiative to put aside the topic and said: "Fifth brother and seventh brother, you not only took the initiative to stand up for them this time to help negotiate with foreigners, but also did a good job in the negotiations, and didn't lose my face in the Heavenly Empire, thank you for your hard work." In this way, I will crown you as the king of Gongjun, and I will continue to help the fifth child with the seventh minister, solve the matter of the foreigner's submission of the credentials as soon as possible, and also end the negotiation with the Rakshasa country, let the Rakshasa minister also live in Hubei, do the errand beautifully, and then I will reward your prince again. ”

Devil Six hurriedly left Xi Xianen, and Emperor Xianfeng, who had said a lot of words, couldn't wait to pick up the opium gun and swallow the clouds, while smoking the best Indian opium, he said casually: "If you have nothing to do, kneel down, come here, and give the king of Gong a seat at the imperial meal." ”

Knowing that once he left, it would be difficult to have the opportunity to see Emperor Xianfeng again, Devil Ziliu did not dare to waste the precious opportunity that the imperial sister-in-law had won for herself, regardless of the presence of Su Shun and Zaiyuan and other Wu Chaoyue's hardcore backers, he quickly kowtowed and asked to speak, and also took the opportunity to report the importance of diplomatic power to Emperor Xianfeng, and strongly asked Emperor Xianfeng to take back his order, not to let the Western minister reside in the capital, and also to ask not to set up a yamen for the prime minister's affairs in Hubei, let alone hand over this yamen to Wu Chaoyue to be in charge.

It's a pity that although Emperor Xianfeng has always been suspicious and worried that Wu Chaoyue will have different intentions, Emperor Xianfeng is even more reluctant to let foreigners live in Beijing, so even if he thinks that Devil Liu's worries are a little reasonable, Emperor Xianfeng took a heavy puff of opium cigarettes, spit out the cigarette and said: "Let the foreigner envoy be stationed in the Hubei provincial capital, it is a matter that has been signed on the treaty, and the foreigner has also agreed, so don't make any more extraneous branches." As for the affairs of the Prime Minister's national affairs yamen, let Wu Aiqing get it up first, and first straighten out all the terms and conditions of dealing with foreigners, and I will naturally send another important minister to take charge of this yamen. ”

When the devil was 60,000 helpless, Su Shun took the opportunity to speak and said in a high-sounding voice: "Master, since the British, French, and American ministers have agreed to be stationed in Hubei, the slave thinks that the master might as well make a will now, and let Wu Chaoyue immediately start to establish this yamen in Hubei, so that it is equivalent to blocking the mouth of the minister of the Rakshasa Kingdom, so that he can't stay in Hubei if he wants to." ”

"What Aiqing said is exactly what I want." Emperor Xianfeng was satisfied with the decree and said: "Immediately issue an order to order Wu Aiqing to establish the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen in Hubei, set up the Prime Minister to supervise, let Wu Aiqing temporarily take on the role, and send people to Hubei to assist Wu Aiqing in handling this matter, draw up a specific charter as soon as possible, and then report to the Military Aircraft Department for approval." ”

Su Shun and the others happily received the order, but the devil six roared in his heart, "Su Shun, you bastard!" You really want to kill me, don't you? Wu Chaoyue, that dog barbarian, is also the acting governor of Huguang, and he actually leads the authority of the governor of Hubei, and he has to hand over the diplomatic power to him in charge of money and soldiers, if he really rebels? Who else can you restrain him? Who can restrain him? ”

Coincidentally, as if it was arranged in advance, when the devil six left the Yanbo Zhishuang Hall dejectedly, he happened to meet one of his sisters-in-law, Yi Guifei, holding the only son of Emperor Xianfeng, Zaichun, passing by, and the devil six hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, Yi Guifei smiled and let the devil six get up, greeted each other with the devil six, and asked Zaichun to give the devil six salutes, and taught the three-year-old Zaichun to call the devil six six uncles, so affectionate as if it was really a sister-in-law and a little uncle talking.

Of course, Yi Guifei did not do this without purpose, taking the opportunity to gradually move away from the guards, Yi Guifei whispered, "It was the queen who told the emperor about your coming to Rehe, and she was also dissatisfied with Su Shun, don't be in a hurry to leave, we will let Xiao Anzi contact you again." ”

Hearing this, the devil's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly. (To be continued.) )
