Chapter 515: Xianfeng's Midyear Festival

After a while, You Mazi felt that his father and mother were "full", so he began to clean up the pig's head and other sacrifices on the table, and said softly: "Daddy, Auntie, you have the strength to eat enough, my son has prepared a lot of money for you, and there are a lot of clothes, and many sets are prepared in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can bring some more."

After speaking, a load of paper money and clothes purchased from Guilin City were lit together, and suddenly the fire was shining and the smoke was filled.

Looking at his three ruddy-faced children, You Mazi muttered: "Daddy, Auntie, it's time to go on the road!" Don't worry, the grandchildren are all doing well! Not only do the children have no shortage of food and clothing, but they also go to school! Nowadays, thanks to the blessing of the Holy King, there are more than ten town public schools in the town, and there are also county public schools and government public schools in Guilin, where children can go to school at any time, not only do not need money, but also provide Chinese food for children to eat. I'm going to let them read the book and help the Holy King fight the demons. ”

……

On this day of the Midyear Festival, one of the three gardens of the Old Summer Palace in the western suburbs of Beijing, Qichun Garden, is very quiet and lively.

There are nearly 30 places in the whole Qichun Garden, such as the garden scenery group Fuchun Hall, Qingxia Zhai, Hanqiu Hall, Shengdong Room, Siyi Study, Chunze Zhai, Fenglinzhou, Weizao Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Bixiang, Bamboo Forest Courtyard, Xiyu Mountain House, Yanyu Building, Hanhui Building, Chengxin Hall, Changhe Hall, Zhanqing Xuan, Zhaoliang Pavilion, Lingxu Pavilion, etc.

Among them, the Yanyu Building, Chengxin Hall, etc. in the west of this garden, Emperor Daoguang of Qing Xuanzong often lived here, therefore, on the day of the Midyear Festival, Emperor Xianfeng came to Yanyu Building.

When night fell, incense and candles were lit in the entire smoke and rain building, and the smoke was filled, presenting a bleak scene. Xianfeng drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids, and knelt on the ground alone.

"Father, the sons are not filial, and half of the good country you left to the sons and daughters has been lost! Erchen didn't have the face to go to your dormitory to see you, so he could only hide in this garden and worship you. "Xianfeng Heart Sect is like a knife, crying silently.

A few days ago, the people in Yunnan rioted, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Hengchun committed suicide, and the Guangdong thieves took the opportunity to attack Kunming, and Wu Zhenqi, the governor of Yunnan, led many officials in Yunnan to surrender the Guangdong thieves!

Xianfeng was immediately furious, and the governor of a province surrendered to the Cantonese thieves, and as soon as this precedent was opened, the Qing Dynasty was completely finished. I don't know how many governors will surrender to the thieves.

Touching the root of the Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng panicked, he immediately ordered, and quickly ordered Hangzhou General Ruichang to send banner soldiers to arrest the family of the criminal officer Wu Zhenqi, and send them to Beijing to be cut with a thousand knives, and the children were not allowed to let go. Unexpectedly, Ruichang sent someone to report, saying that the Cantonese thief had already picked up all Wu Zhenyan's family members one step earlier.

Xianfeng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and was furious, and ordered Ruichang to personally lead the troops to dig up Wu Zhendi's ancestral grave, and dig up the bones of the ancestors of the Wu family to show the public, so that the Wu family would never live in peace.

But then, the Jiangnan camp was broken, which made Xianfeng emaciated, and he had no time to think about punishing Wu Zhenqi anymore, and he didn't even have the strength to punish Xiang Rong, the leader of the Jiangnan camp. The state affairs have been eroded to this point, and he can only be gloomy in his heart, and he can no longer rise to the slightest hope.

With the loss of Yunnan Province, the Qing Dynasty forever lost the raw materials for making copper coins, which made the already poor Qing Dynasty's finances even worse.

However, the world likes to play hide and seek with him. Immediately afterwards, Tianjing became chaotic, and the cannibalism of the long-haired thief chieftain made him see a glimmer of hope, and he longed for the long-haired thief chieftain to kill each other, and it was best to spread until the thief soldiers were all infighting.

Soon, he received a great victory in Zhenjiang from Qi Shan, the commander of the Jiangbei battalion, saying that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court took advantage of the good opportunity of the long-haired thieves to attack Zhenjiang, which was empty of troops, and occupied Zhenjiang City in one fell swoop. However, because the long-haired thief chief Hong Xiuquan mobilized a large number of thieves from all over the country to enter the vicinity of Jiangning City, it was difficult for the troops of the Jiangbei battalion to conquer Jiangning City, so they could only wait for the situation of the thieves to deteriorate further and then slowly try to do so.

As soon as Xianfeng received the news, he immediately burst into tears: all the time, he lost the city and lost the land, and finally had a great victory in Zhenjiang, he decided to go to Xiling in Xiling, which is located in Yi County, Zhili, and the tomb of Emperor Xuanzong to worship at the Muling of his father, Emperor Xuanzong, and told Emperor Xuanzong's son to start a counterattack, and one day to recover all the lost land.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, a bad news came: Shi Dakai, one of the long-haired thief chieftains, led nearly 30,000 thieves to take refuge in the Cantonese thieves in the south, and jointly attacked the Cantonese thieves who occupied Songjiang Mansion and captured Suzhou Mansion and Changzhou Mansion.

When Xianfeng heard this, it was like being struck by lightning! How he thought it was a nightmare, and when he woke up, the Suchang and Chang mansions were still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Suzhou Mansion, the land of northern paradise, has always been the first state capital of the Qing Dynasty, known as the first metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River, and the head of the four major gatherings in the world. Suzhou Mansion is the southern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the place of waterway transportation, with Taihu Lake soil and water conservancy, beautiful water and mountain spirits, humanities gathering, abundant products, people and things, is the most important source of wealth and grain in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is occupied by Guangdong thieves, with the weak military strength of the imperial court, unable to enter, the Qing Dynasty is afraid that it will lose this paradise forever.

Moreover, with the occupation of the two state capitals of Suzhou and Changzhou, Xianfeng knew that the Qing Dynasty would lose the entire Jiangnan region, and from then on, the entire waterway artery of the Qing Dynasty --- the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal would become an ornament and lose its vitality. The most important thing is that the loss of the tax land in the south of the Yangtze River, with the current national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, natural disasters are continuous, and millions of banner people have to be fed, which is the most headache for Xianfeng.

Without the subsidy of the anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River, the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, which was already unbearable, would inevitably be even worse.

Xianfeng's heart began to go crazy, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and the sky wanted to punish and torture himself like this.

When he was tormented, news suddenly came that several provinces in Zhejiang, which are rich in silk, have completely fallen, following Ningbo Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, Huzhou Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, and have fallen into the hands of Guangdong thieves!

Hangzhou Mansion, the southern paradise of the Qing Dynasty, after the fall of Suzhou, the northern paradise, once again hit Xianfeng's painful nerves. In the city of Hangzhou, Hangzhou General Ruichang led thousands of banner soldiers and nearly 10,000 banner families to die and commit suicide, which made Xianfeng's eyes split, and he couldn't wait to lead the army in person to avenge the children of the banner people.

But when I thought that there were not many troops in the capital now, and even if there were troops, there would be no pay to send troops, and I couldn't help but be discouraged, and I couldn't stop feeling sad in my heart.

So, on the occasion of the arrival of the Midyear Festival, Xianfeng ran to Qichun Garden and came to the Yanyu Building, the favorite of Emperor Xuanzong, and came to cry alone.

Originally, according to the routine rules of the Qing Dynasty, every year during the Qingming Festival, the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the winter solstice, the twilight of the year, the death of the emperor and the queen, and there were major events in the imperial court, there were major sacrifices. It stands to reason that Xianfeng should personally raise the sacrifice in Taimiao or Xiling, where the emperor is buried, but Xianfeng felt that he had no face to see the emperor and was ashamed of the previous emperors, so he sent his sixth brother Prince Gong to replace himself and go to Xiling as a priest to pay tribute.

Xianfeng didn't even go to the Taimiao to pay tribute.

It's really shameless! It's only been four years since he ascended the throne, and the world has been in such chaos, what face do you have to worship your ancestors? What other face stepped into the temple?

Xianfeng, whose heart is like ashes, now he doesn't even have the idea of looking forward to one day, when the imperial army can conquer the south and regain the lost territory. Today's Midyear Festival, he remembered the past of his father, Emperor Daoguang, and couldn't help but feel sad, and asked the eunuchs to decorate the Yanyu Building, and drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids and guards, and sacrificed his late father like ordinary people, instead of Emperor Xuanzong.

"Amma, my unfilial son is ashamed of you! Most of the property you left to your son has been ruined, and now the family has been attacked by thieves and evil slaves, and seeing that the family cannot be saved, the son does not know what to do. Amma, you teach Yiyi. Xianfeng lay on the ground and cried out heartbreakingly, revealing desperation, which made a group of internal guards outside the Yanyu Building also frightened.

At this moment, Xianfeng felt that he had really let go of everything, like a helpless child, he thought that he was really an ordinary folk child, and if something happened, his father came out to help solve it.

The pain he was carrying was too much to bear.

The great cause of the family and the country is all pressed on him alone, and he is out of breath. He just wanted to be free from the pain of being shackled. Thinking of the depressing Heart Nourishing Hall in the Imperial Palace of the capital, where the bad news of the fall of the country was received, he was extremely disgusted with that place.

It's better to live in this Qichun Garden in the future.

He was so tired.

In a trance, he seemed to hear Amma say to him: "My son, you have done your best, and relax, let it go, if you can't keep the family business, you can't keep it, Amma doesn't blame you!" So, with the satisfied smile of his childhood, he lay down on his stomach and fell into a deep sleep.
