The 174th Zeng Guofan was called emperor

"What? The Forbidden City was captured by Yang Dongfang, and the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces were captured? ”

Nanjing, Zeng Guofan, who had just arrived in the city from Anqing, heard the words of his ninth brother Zeng Guoquan, and was a little unconvinced, but looking at Zeng Guoquan's affirmative eyes, he lost his mind slightly, his blood pressure rushed to his brain, and his head was a little dizzy, so he found a nearby chair and sat down, rubbing it:

"Fourth, where did you get this news from, you can't spread this word randomly, otherwise you will tell the truth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

According to the Zeng family's big ranking, Zeng Guoquan ranks ninth, that is, the so-called old nine, and the nine handsomes are all here.

But according to Zeng Guofan's own family's small ranking, Zeng Guoquan ranks fourth, so Zeng Guofan's affectionate nickname today is actually a deep brotherhood, and at the same time, another layer of hints is also included.

The ancient Chinese often used different words and words, but they implied a lot of important information.

Zeng Guoquan understood that it was to remind him not to get carried away because of the capture of Nanjing, and to be a man with his tail between his legs in the Qing Dynasty, and to be cautious in his words and deeds to save the wealth and life of the Zeng family.

Zeng Guofan's teachings he naturally remembered all along, but this time he became excited, only to see Zeng Guoquan say: "Big brother, do you still need me to talk about this?" You go out and listen, now the whole Jiangnan, no, the entire south bank of the Yangtze River knows, I'm afraid you didn't receive it because you set off from Anqing a few days earlier, otherwise the news from Wuchang would have already reached your ears. ”

Zeng Guofan was shocked, coughed a few times in a row, kicked evenly, and was uneasy, not wanting to say a word (chèn), Yang Dongfang actually broke through Beijing, and even the emperor was captured.

Zeng Guofan beat his chest and vomited for a while: "He only has a thousand people!" A thousand? How's that? Didn't Liu Mingchuan arrive in advance? Yinghan and the others are incompetent, why didn't they get entangled, what about Tang Xunfang, what about Liu Changyou. Hey, if the monk king doesn't die, there is still hope. Daqing, what's going on. ”

It was at this time that worse news came, and the latest news came to the north.

The news sent to Nanjing reached Zeng Guoquan as soon as possible, he unsealed the wax and took it out, only chatting a few words inside.

"The emperor was beheaded at noon, and Prince Gong ascended the throne on the soil platform outside the city, and moved to Chengde."

"What are you reading and what is the bad news?" Zeng Guofan is not ordinarily strong, hundreds of thousands of troops were gone, didn't he survive like a small strong man who threw himself into the river? His face was pale, and he pointed to the letter in Lao Jiu's hand and said, "Give it to me." ”

Zeng Guoquan secretly said with joy: "Big brother! The emperor was beheaded outside the noon gate, and in the afternoon Prince Gong built an earthen platform outside the city to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and now fled to Chengde. ”

"What Prince Gong. He.. He said that the emperor had ascended the throne, how could it be. Escape.. ”

Zeng Guofan spit out a mouthful of blood this time, his eyes were a little red, and he stared at Zeng Guoquan, which means that you don't lie to me, I am your eldest brother.

Of course, he can't accept such a big stimulus, the emperor ascended the throne as soon as he died, and he built an earthen platform outside Beijing, so he had to be in the Temple of Heaven.

What's even more outrageous is that you also fled to Chengde, Beijing is the imperial capital? It's okay to go to Shandong or Nanjing.

Why are the emperors of the Qing Dynasty not as good as one another, and whatever is good in Chengde, they all go there.

"Big brother, otherwise, you can also be called the emperor, the Manchu Qing is not saved, and the people who can't be supported are fighting, why should we fight for the sake of foreign races." Zeng Guoquan took the opportunity to finally say what he thought in his heart, but was directly interrupted by Zeng Guofan:

"Shut up, you can say this kind of thing, at this time when the Qing Dynasty is in danger, you don't want to serve the country and think about the king, you are so rebellious, what kind of system has you become."

Zeng Guoquan's face was a little hot when he was scolded, but he thought that there was nothing wrong with him, and he was benevolent and righteous to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the eldest brother was like a father, and he still had a sense of awe for Zeng Guofan.

With just one look, he blocked back what he wanted to say next.

However, he also had a trick, and he had guessed that Zeng Guofan would not agree, so he gestured outward, and soon someone came in, and this person turned out to be Liu Kunyi who exterminated the Taiping Army on the front line.

followed by Liu Songshan, Bao Chao, Peng Yulin, Yang Yuebin, Yang Changjun and other generals.

"You guys... Why are you all here, the front line, you are not good at the front line to suppress bandits, why did you come to Nanjing. Zeng Guofan realized that all the faces who walked in were familiar faces, what happened today.

Most of the people who haven't been able to get together for years are together today.

"Dashuai, Jiu Shuai is right, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty has died, we naturally want to make another picture, Zhongxing Dahan."

"That's right, Dashuai, Tongzhi is dead, Manchu orthodoxy has ended, Yixu fled north, the Central Plains has become the land of my Han family, and it is really unfilial to the ancestors for the Manchu eagle dog."

"You guys... You guys.. Zeng Guofan pointed his finger and found that none of the generals were afraid of him, none of them dodged, his eyes were firm, and finally stopped at his younger brother:

"You, it's you. All this is arranged by you, what are you going to do, although the emperor has died, but Prince Gong has ascended the throne and called the emperor, then he is the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he is our emperor, Prince Gong is virtuous, talented, will be a good monarch, will make the Qing Dynasty prosperous, you are plotting rebellion, do you know? ”

"I respectfully ask the marshal to ascend the throne and call the emperor, unify China, restore my Han, Zhongxing Han, we will follow the marshal to the death, only the marshal ascends the throne as the emperor, can we quickly stabilize the sea, pacify all bandits, and bring health and happiness to my people."

Well, under the leadership of Zeng Guoquan, everyone said in unison, and they all bowed.

"You... You guys.. Is this to learn from the Chenqiao Mutiny? Zeng Guofan's heart was surging, and his mind was a little chaotic.

To be an emperor, who doesn't want to be an emperor, ask a hundred people, fifty of them say they want to, and fifty of them silently complain, this question still needs to be said hemp.

The problem now is not that I should be inappropriate, but that I can't be an emperor when I'm so old, and I know the age of the destiny of heaven, who knows how many years I can live, why bother tossing and turning for this throne, making the world miserable.

At this time, Zeng Guofan was a little moved, but he was calmer, and suddenly thought of Zhao Liewen's words.

The emperor star is out of the west!

So he ignored everyone at all, stumbled out of the hall, and came outside again, stargazing at Haori, this time he didn't seem to be afraid of the dazzling bright light, pushed aside the white clouds, and finally saw a shining emperor star.

But then his eyes widened, the sky was full of stars around his head, and several emperor stars appeared around, one brighter than the other, and farther away, the emperor stars were like golden beans, one by one, and for a while, the star universe was full of golden waves.

"Ahh How so, how so. Zeng Guofan's eyes hurt, and the whole person almost fell, his brain was tingling, and his face was incredible.

It turned out that he could really see the stars during the day, and Zhao Liewen didn't lie to him.

It's just why there are so many emperor stars?

Is there one of mine? (To be continued.) )
