Xianfeng came back from the next dynasty and returned directly to the imperial study, sullen.

Just now in the court, the Sushun faction and the Yixin faction were quarreling fiercely, this was something Xianfeng was happy to see, he liked to play balancing, and he didn't want the court to dominate the government.

However, Xianfeng was in a complicated mood today, that is, he couldn't talk about being happy, and he couldn't say that he was unhappy. Because just now in the court, the focus of the controversy was Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo's name has appeared in the court almost every day recently, not long ago Xianfeng also suspected that Li Weiguo was suspected of fornicating with the Taiping army to rebel, but just got the news that Li Weiguo and Hong Xiuquan had a big fight, and the invincible Shi Dakai led the 300,000 (claimed) army to the east and returned with more than 100,000 dead and wounded. Although Li Weiguo won, the main force of the Shanghai army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, and he was also crippled, and even Li Weiguo almost died, which can be said to be a defeat for both sides.

Xianfeng was glad that Li Weiguo's suspicion of rebellion had been cleared, and the Shanghai army had been weakened, and this Han landlord army would no longer pose a threat to the Qing court.

But Xianfeng was also unhappy because of this, because the Shanghai army suffered heavy casualties, and it was still a question whether the remaining troops could hold Jiangnan. It was spread throughout the government and the opposition, and it was said that Xianfeng could not believe in Li Weiguo, which led to the Shanghai army being forced to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Taiping army in order to prove its innocence, resulting in heavy casualties.

Now Xianfeng's suspicion of the Han landlord armament is no secret, the Han landlord armed forces who participated in the suppression of the Taiping Army are all in danger, and even Zeng Guofan, who fought against the Taiping Army in Xiangxi, also inexplicably resigned, if even the Hunan Army is afraid of the suspicion of the imperial court, then which army can exterminate the Taiping Army, and it is obviously impossible to count on the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing Army.

Xianfeng was depressed, and had to make Su Shun a scapegoat in the court, dismissed Su Shun from many official positions, and made him think about it behind closed doors at home for three months. At the same time, Xianfeng had to reward Li Weiguo and become a second-class baron. Zeng Guofan entered the lieutenant of the light car, in order to appease Li Weiguo and Zeng Guofan, and block the mouth of the people of the world.

At the same time, Xianfeng also angrily reprimanded the victory of the Jiangbei battalion, as a banner man, commanding the elite Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they have been doing nothing, and they are not as good as Li Weiguo and Zeng Guofan, the two newly established Han landlords who have not been armed for a few years, it is too embarrassing for the banner people.

Old Summer Palace, Yaotai.

Yehenala Xingzhen, who had just been promoted to Concubine Lan, also got news from the court. It was also a look of surprise.

Concubine Lan thought that Li Weiguo would not be able to get over this hurdle, because she knew Xianfeng very well, and once Xianfeng became suspicious, it would be difficult to dispel the doubts in his heart. Concubine Lan believes that there are only two ways in front of Li Weiguo, one is to hand over power and the army to take the initiative to go to the field to save his life, and the other is to rebel.

Obviously, the latter is more suitable for Li Weiguo's temperament, so Concubine Lan is ready to cut off Li Weiguo to prevent being dragged into the water by Li Weiguo. But she never expected that Li Weiguo would really turn over, and she could make Xianfeng, a suspicious person, believe that Li Weiguo would not rebel.

"It seems that this Li Weiguo is a character. Hongu is in need of such a strong reinforcement, and it seems that it is time to show it! ”

Hearing Concubine Lan talking to herself, Xiao Dezi, the personal eunuch beside her, hurriedly said: "Although the emperor no longer believes in Li Weiguo's rebellion, he can't trust the Han people. I heard that it was going to select a woman of appropriate age from the Eight Banners family to marry Han officials such as Li Weiguo and Zeng Guofan to show their favor. ”

"Long pet?" Concubine Lan suddenly pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and said, "The emperor is obviously suspicious. I can't trust these Han officials, so I have to plant nails and eyeliner around them and monitor the every move of these Han officials! ”

Xiao Dezi was stunned. immediately understood, and said: "It's still the master who thinks clearly, and the slave is not as wise as the master's resourcefulness!" ”

"Alright, don't be a sycophant!" Concubine Lan glanced at Xiao Dezi, and then said in confusion: "Since ancient times, the Manchu and Han have not intermarried, and the emperor's move is just to say, the Queen Mother and the Zongren Mansion will definitely not agree!" ”

Xiao Dezi shook his head and said: "Having said that, don't forget, the master doesn't intermarry, but the emperor can carry the flag of the Han people, as long as Li Weiguo and Zeng Guofan and other Han officials carry the flag into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, isn't it?" ”

"I can't imagine that you're quite smart, can you think of this?" Concubine Lan suddenly praised Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said: "Thank you for the master's praise, the slave is also close to Zhu Zhechi, and he often accompanies the master, so he is naturally influenced by the master!" ”

"Your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" Concubine Lan smiled and felt very happy, but soon frowned and said: "If the emperor arranges a woman by Li Weiguo's side, I am afraid that not only will Li Weiguo act inconveniently, but the palace will also be in danger of being exposed. ”

Xiao Dezi suddenly said nervously: "What is the master going to do?" ”

Concubine Lan thought for a while and said, "You quickly prepare a generous gift for Li Weiguo to represent the palace, and at the same time tell Li Weiguo about this matter, and you tell him that he should marry the two side Fujin as soon as possible, and occupy the position first, so that even if the emperor wants to give marriage, it will be impossible." In addition, you send more people to inquire about the families from whom the emperor is going to choose women, let's contact them first to see if we can take them for our own use, and it will come in handy in the future. ”

"Huh! Or the master is wise! Xiao Dezi immediately received the order and did not forget to pat his ass.

Li Weiguo soon knew the news from the court, and the person sent by Yixin was almost the same as the news sent by the Beijing office of the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.

Li Weiguo was very happy to learn that Xianfeng no longer suspected him of rebellion, as for the addition of a baron, it was no longer important.

However, soon the news brought by Concubine Lan made Li Weiguo nervous again.

"What? How many side fortunes does the emperor plan to choose for you? ”

As soon as they heard that the emperor was going to find a woman for Li Weiguo, Fu Shanxiang, Shen Ziyan and Su Sanniang immediately called the door and asked what was going on.

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly and said: "There are still a few more marriages from the emperor Lao'er, generally one is a big blessing and two are side blessings, and now Shanxiang is my great blessing Jin, so the emperor will give me two side blessings at most." As for the concubine, then there is no need to think about it, it is impossible for the emperor to give a concubine for marriage, it would be too embarrassing for the emperor. ”

Fu Shanxiang suddenly said angrily: "No, the emperor will find you two side blessings, what about Sister Ziyan?" Sister Zi Yan is so good to you, you have to give her the title of side Fujin, right? ”

Shen Ziyan was silent. But her expression was very sad, and it could be seen that she cared very much about this side Fujin status.

Li Weiguo was about to explain, but he heard Fu Shanxiang continue: "And Sister Su!" Someone rushed thousands of miles to save your life! ”

"What's my business? Don't get involved with me! Su Sanniang suddenly said shyly and secretly glanced at Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, and waited until Fu Shanxiang finished speaking before he explained: "This is the emperor's marriage, and I can't help it!" If it is to resist the decree, it is a murderous crime! ”

Fu Shanxiang said unrelentingly: "No, you have to find a way to push off this marriage!" This emperor is really full, and the seventy-two concubines in his three palaces and six courtyards are not enough, and he has to learn to be a matchmaker. It's annoying! ”

Li Weiguo glanced at Shen Ziyan and Su Sanniang, and suddenly smiled: "It's not completely impossible!" At present, Xianfeng Lao'er just has this idea. The Manchu and Han do not intermarry, and it is impossible for Xianfeng to find two Han women to marry me as a side Fujin, so he will first carry me into the Han Army Banner, and then select two side Fujin from the Han Army Banner, the most important thing is that Xianfeng must choose people from the official family he trusts, so it will take a while to complete, as long as I first find two women to take the position of these two side Fujin during this time. Then it is impossible for Xianfeng to marry me again. ”

Fu Shanxiang nodded and said: "Xianggong is right, as long as Xianggong marries two side Fujin first, then he can justifiably push away the emperor's marriage!" ”

"That's right!" Li Weiguo smiled. Holding Fu Shanxiang with his left hand, and opening his right arm at Shen Ziyan with his right hand, Shen Ziyan sat in Li Weiguo's arms very obediently.

Li Weiguo hugged left and right, and was addicted. said to the second daughter: "Sister Shanxiang is my eldest wife, it is Dafujin, although Sister Ziyan has not officially passed the door." But I already think you are my second wife in my heart, so the two side Fujin must have a place for Sister Ziyan. As for the position of the remaining side Fujin? ”

Li Weiguo suddenly looked at Su Sanniang, and Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan suddenly said in unison: "Naturally, it's Sister Su!" ”

Su Sanniang suddenly said coquettishly: "It's okay for Wei Guo to have a bad stomach, you two dead girls dare to tease my sister and me, be careful that I ignore you again!" ”

Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan's two daughters immediately begged for mercy, and the latter said: "Then what should I do, the emperor will find a side blessing for Weiguo to come over, then don't we have to see that woman's face every day, and we won't be bullied to death by her!" ”

Li Weiguo was happy, it turned out that Shen Ziyan was afraid of being bullied.

But I heard Su Sanniang say: "Sister Ziyan, don't worry, there is the eldest sister here, and the eldest sister guarantees that no one will dare to bully you." If that woman is bullying you and Shanxiang, I will definitely not let her go. ”

Li Weiguo's eyes rolled, and he suddenly sighed: "You don't know, although Xianfeng Lao'er doesn't suspect that Xianggong and I have rebelled for the time being, but Xianggong I am Han, how can Xianfeng Lao'er watch me sit on a large army and divide one side?" That's why he thought of arranging a side fortune for my father-in-law, just to put an eyeliner next to me to spy on us. Don't say that you have to look at that woman's face when the time comes, even if your husband doesn't dare to offend her! If she offends her, as soon as she sues Xianfeng, then our family will be finished! ”

Li Weiguo deliberately looked at Su Sanniang with a smile, and said "your husband" on his lips, so he naturally included Su Sanniang, which was deliberately taking advantage of him in words.

Su Sanniang knew that Li Weiguo was deliberate, but she couldn't do anything about him, she just glanced at him fiercely, pretending not to know.

Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan were suddenly frightened, and the former said: "It turns out that the emperor is uneasy and kind!" So what to do? ”

Li Weiguo smiled: "It's easy to do!" Zi Yan, you are my daughter-in-law who has never been through the door, you can count one side Fujin, and how about Sister Su temporarily pretending to be the remaining one? ”

"Okay! Okay! Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan immediately applauded.

Su Sanniang glared at Li Weiguo angrily, and said angrily: "Think beautiful!" ”

Li Weiguo suddenly rolled his eyes, seeing that Su Sanniang was right in front of him, but unfortunately he couldn't eat her, and his heart was itching.

Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan glanced at each other, and when they saw that Su Sanniang disagreed, they proposed: "Then it's better to find a random maid to replace it, and first break the emperor's mind." ”

Li Weiguo immediately objected: "How can that be done?" Once you marry two side Fujin, you have to make a decree and report it to the court, it's not a joke, the court is going to check, if it is confirmed, then I won't lose a lot! ”

Fu Shanxiang was puzzled: "How did Xianggong lose a lot?" Even if the court knows, Xianggong is just one more side blessing, isn't it good to enjoy the blessings of Qi people? What is the loss? ”

"That's it! Get cheap and sell well! Shen Ziyan didn't help Li Weiguo speak this time.

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly and explained: "I, Li Weiguo, only know that the three most beautiful, virtuous and considerate women in the world are Sister Shanxiang, Sister Ziyan and Sister Su, how can ordinary women get into my eyes?" ”

"Oh!!!" Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan suddenly understood, after a long time, their husband was still thinking about hooking up with Su Sanniang, although the second daughter did not object to Li Weiguo hooking up with Su Sanniang, but they were also sour, and they invariably pinched the soft flesh of Li Weiguo's waist left and right, and then broke free from Li Weiguo's left and right hugs.

Li Weiguo was in pain, but he could only smile, he didn't dare to offend the second daughter at this time, and he also counted on the second daughter to help persuade Su Sanniang, this is a major life event, and it is related to Li Weiguo's happy life, so Li Weiguo has to be patient.

Seeing that Li Weiguo kept making eyes, Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan knew it, so they came to Su Sanniang from left to right and began a long lobbying process.

Su Sanniang may really just want to help Li Weiguo once, or she may have accepted Li Weiguo's courtship in her heart, in short, she finally agreed to work with Shen Ziyan to make a side blessing for Li Weiguo.

"Don't be complacent! I just see that you are pitiful and help you, I am just hanging the name of a side Fujin, if you dare to touch me, I will castrate you! ”

Su Sanniang was thin-skinned and put down cruel words for Li Weiguo, but she didn't dare to look at him and hurriedly slipped away.

Li Weiguo smiled, and secretly said Su Sanniang, Su Sanniang, after all, you still fell into my Li Weiguo's bowl and became my dish, since you have become my Li Weiguo's side Fujin, can you still run?

Li Weiguo hugged Fu Shanxiang and Shen Ziyan left and right, kissed each other, and said with a smile: "Today you have made a great contribution for your husband, and I want to reward you well for your husband!" ”

"Don't!" Shen Ziyan suddenly broke free and escaped, she just glanced at Li Weiguo, and knew that Li Weiguo wanted to do bad to her.

Fu Shanxiang slowed down, and was hugged by Li Weiguo, so he had to accept his fate, (to be continued......)
