Palace.

Xianfeng was on the bed, Zaidun and Zaiyuan were kneeling on the side, and Su Shun was standing with a bow.

"Your Majesty, this is the way things are, the situation has calmed down a little, but the soldiers strongly demand that Guo Ye be pursued again, and at the same time ask the emperor to fight!"

Su Shun said.

Xianfeng is not in the spirit at all now, but he looks at Zaidun and Zai Yuan with hatred, this pair of cowards is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose! The firearms battalion is now its only reliance, and it is because of these two guys' reckless behavior that they have become out of control!

Xianfeng waved his hand and said weakly: "Come on, drive Zaiyuan and Zaidun out for me!" ”

The two of them were shocked, and Zaiyuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ......"

"Get out!"

Xianfeng used all his strength, and shouted hysterically, there is no way, these two guys are royal relatives, and they still have to save a little face!

The two of them didn't dare to speak anymore, and ran out of the house in disgrace.

Xianfeng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

Su Shun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this is an extraordinary time, and appeasement is the best, after all, we still need to use the combat power of the firearms battalion, the slave said, please ask the emperor to pursue Guo Ye again......"

Re-escalation?

Is that to continue to seal?

The people below were a little dissatisfied, and Wu Ren stood up and said, "Su Zhongtang, the people from this firearms battalion have proposed to give Guo Ye the title of Duke of the Kingdom!" For so many years in our Qing Dynasty, only the Qianlong Dynasty has sealed four princes, and they are all Manchurians, even if Guo Ye is a high-ranking person, he must not break the precedent! I thought that this wind would not last long! ”

Su Shun had a headache for a while, and replied: "Lord Wa, this official didn't say that he must give Guo Ye a national duke, it's just that the soldiers of the firearms battalion need to be appeased, and there are still many places where we need to rely on them, not to mention, what they said is also the truth, as early as half a year ago, the emperor had promised to give Guo Ye the title of governor, I think he can give him a marquis, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, we just take this opportunity to let the world understand that the imperial court is not stingy with those who have contributed to the country, and the emperor is definitely not stingy!" ”

Xianfeng coughed for a while, nodded and said, "Well, what Su Shun said is also quite reasonable, Lin Kui, what do you think?" ”

Lin Kui, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is specifically responsible for the imperial court's etiquette system and the promotion of meritorious service, and he still has a great say in this regard.

Lin Kui bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks what Su Zhongtang said is reasonable, and the slave thinks that he can give Guo Ye a second-class loyal and brave marquis!" In order to show his merits, he was posthumously awarded the governor of Liangjiang, anyway, now that Guo Ye has been martyred, these are all honors after his death, and others can't compete for anything, so that the civil and military ministers of the imperial court can ...... with their hearts about state affairs."

Xianfeng sighed: "Okay, let's do it according to Lin Kui's opinion." ”

Su Shun continued: "Your Majesty, there is another thing, that is, almost all the soldiers of the firearms battalion were trained by Guo Ye, and now that Guo Ye is martyred, they strongly request to go to the capital to fight and avenge Guo Ye, this slave is useless, and he cannot be completely appeased......"

Xianfeng frowned and said: "The others are okay to say, this invitation to fight, no matter what, you can't agree to come down, once the musket enters the capital, how can the safety of Rehe be guaranteed?" ”

Su Shun smiled bitterly: "Yes, the emperor, the servants also think so, but those thousands of presidents have also said that they would rather pick a son and quit, but also go to the capital to avenge Guo Ye, they are all cultivated by Guo Ye, it is Guo Ye who is his father and brother, and the big hatred is not shared by God, fortunately, that Wang Huanzhang seems to have some prestige in the camp, and he barely suppressed it, but he asked that he must send a part of his troops to the capital, and he himself can lead the main force of the firearms battalion to stay and protect the emperor's safety......"

Xianfeng replied, "Isn't there a way to keep them all?" ”

Su Shun said astringently: "It's difficult......"

Xianfeng nodded and said, "Then leave it to you, try your best to get things done, remember, at most, let them lead one or two floods to the capital, and they must also ensure a safe return to Rehe!" The rest you watch deal with! ”

Su Shun nodded, came out of the palace and went straight to the firearms camp.

Came to the firearms camp and saw Wang Huanzhang and others, Su Shun said: "Okay, I have already made a statement in front of the emperor, the emperor remembered Guo Ye's hard work, and specially pursued Guo Ye's second-class loyal and brave marquis, this is an unprecedented honor, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, until now, no Han people have such an honor!" Even the Zeng Guofan in the south is now only ten counts! Moreover, the imperial court will also posthumously award Guo Ye as the governor of Liangjiang, which is already an unprecedented honor! “

When the brothers here heard this, their hearts finally felt better, and the next thing was to ask for war.

Wang Huanzhang asked, "Lord Zhongtang, what is the result of the war?" ”

Su Shun replied: "The emperor said that the Rehe Palace is located, and the firearms battalion has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he is not allowed to go south, but the soldiers have full authority to take revenge, and they cannot be forcibly suppressed, and they can lead one of the firearms battalions to the south, and they cannot easily face the enemy, and it is ...... to preserve their strength."

"What? A flood, what the hell is enough to do? ”

Yan Chunyu was extremely dissatisfied and muttered.

"Yan Chunyu! You step back for Lao Tzu, who made you speak? ”

Wang Huanzhang shouted, "Lord Zhongtang, the number of troops in one flood is really less, the war ahead is critical, I am afraid that I may encounter a war at any time, please rest assured, Lord Zhongtang, everything here has a humble position, and it will naturally protect the safety of the emperor and the lord, how about the humble position think that you can add two more Xun?" ”

Su Shun shook his head and replied: "No, at most, you will add another Xun force, and you must ensure that you will bring people back to Ben Zhongtang, otherwise, it will be difficult for Ben Zhongtang to deal with it in front of the emperor!" ”

Wang Huanzhang nodded, now it can only be like this, although the strength of the two Xuns, although the combat is slightly insufficient, but looking for people, it should be a lot.

Wang Huanzhang said in a low voice: "Lord Zhongtang rest assured, Lord Zhongtang is very clear about my family's love for the military gate, although the military gate is no longer there, but Vaughn is not a person who does not know how to repay the favor, in the future, he will naturally take the eyes of the adult, and ask the adults to bring ...... more."

Wang Huanzhang only said two sentences, and Su Shun's whole mind was activated, this, this is Wang Huanzhang's expression that he wants to take refuge in himself, yes, Guo Ye is dead, and now the soldiers of the entire firearms battalion are all leaderless, and they have taken refuge under their own command, which is the wisest choice, who doesn't know that he is the number one celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is in a high position?

Haha, as long as you can master the firearms battalion and control the Rehe Palace, there will be no one in the court who can argue with you, even if it is that Gong Lao Liu, it is far behind!
