Xianfeng returned to the Baohe Palace, his face was gloomy, he had just been relaxed for two days, but because of Guo Ye's matter, he was disturbed, it was really depressing, this Guo Ye was really disappointing to me.

Concubine Lan on the side looked at Xianfeng's gloomy face, knew that the emperor had something on his mind, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter, those minions are making you unhappy again?" ”

Xianfeng snorted and replied, "Isn't that Guo Ye yet?" I've finally rewarded him, haven't I? But as soon as he was appointed as the chief soldier, he began to be arrogant and domineering, not only smashed the county government of Tongxian County, Prince Yi went to the firearms camp to announce the decree, and just arrived at the door to the sergeant's rifle off the horse, he still has imperial power in his eyes? It's really a disappointment, it's really hard work! ”

Guo Ye?

Concubine Lan's eyes flashed with brilliance, thinking of the young man she saw at the banquet that day, he was heroic, he was a talent that the emperor deliberately promoted!

"Your Majesty? Didn't Guo Ye just make a great achievement? You are the pillar of the court in the future? ”

Xianfeng sighed and told the matter to Lan Guifei, Lan Guifei is smart and skilled, quite knowledgeable, often helps Xianfeng deal with official affairs, and gives birth to a son for Xianfeng.

Concubine Lan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you know if the concubine has something to say?" ”

Xianfeng replied: "If you have anything to say, anyway, there are no courtiers around, so you don't have to be so taboo." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is a little inappropriate."

Xianfeng was stunned, defective?

Lan Guifei continued: "Your Majesty, I have heard you say that Guo Ye is talented, proficient in foreign affairs, good at military affairs, civil and military all-rounder, in the next thirty-five years, there are many places where the Qing Dynasty relies on him, you deal with it like this, it seems that you take care of everyone's face, but, what about Guo Ye, it is just because his soldiers have suffered great grievances that he acted angrily, it is understandable, and then talk about the matter of Zaiyuan, the free rules in the military camp, you have told me the story of the fine willow camp, Guo Ye strictly governs the army, it is the royal road, and the army is not strictly governed, Where does the combat power come from? Zaiyuan was arrogant and angrily broke through the camp gate, but he was just humiliating himself. Dealing with Guo Ye in this way is a bit too much, not only Guo Ye may be disheartened, but I am afraid that the soldiers who he did everything possible to protect him will not agree, that Zaidun went to the firearms camp, but I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the field. ”

Xianfeng was shocked, and vaguely felt that Concubine Lan was reasonable, but the face of the big man in the DPRK and China could not be refuted, which was really depressing.

Lan Guifei continued: "And Your Majesty, since Guo Ye has been disposed of, then Luo Tinghe should be severely punished, at least Guo Ye and the heart of the firearms camp can be appeased, and now Luo Tinghe has also been brushed aside, so Chen Hai's case, wouldn't it make the family unjustly sink to the bottom of the sea?" ”

Xianfeng sighed: "Lan'er, you don't know, this Luo Tinghe is the son of Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, and he is also the proud disciple of Wuren, and the important ministers of the court have done everything to maintain it, and Luo Bingzhang is supervising the army, and my move is just to comfort Luo Bingzhang......

Concubine Lan smiled slightly and replied, "The emperor has worked hard for state affairs, and it is really hard. It's just that Luo Bingzhang is already dying of old age, and he is declining; And Guo Ye is talented and thriving, comparing the two, which side does the emperor think should be favored? ”

Xianfeng is terrified, yes, although Luo Bingzhang supervises Hunan, he is already over the age of sixties, and he can still be useful for a few years, but Guo Ye is a rare rising star! I only thought about the feelings of the big guys this time, but I left Guo Ye aside!

Xianfeng's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "Lan'er, then you say, how to remedy it?" ”

Lan Guifei's eyes were wonderful, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and you give some grievances to your courtiers, and they also have to bear it, thunder, rain and dew, all of which are gentlemen." You just need to comfort Guo Ye a little to ease his heart, that is, as for the firearms camp, there is no good way now. The will to appoint Zaidun has been issued, and you have no jokes, you can only watch the future. ”

Xianfeng's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Luxi, Luxi!" ”

The chief eunuch Lu Xi hurriedly ran in, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is here." ”

Xianfeng shouted: "Immediately go to Guo Ye's residence to spread my message and order him to enter the palace overnight!" ”

Lu Xi was shocked, and immediately understood, the emperor was beating a stick to give him another sweet date to eat, this Guo Ye would not fall out of favor because of such a trivial matter.

Lu Xi hurriedly replied: "The slave will do it!" ”

Guo Ye had just come out of Prince Gong's mansion, and it didn't take long to return to his mansion, and Lu Xi arrived, this mansion was originally given by the emperor and allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Lu Xi naturally knew where it was.

Guo Ye saw Lu Xi, was stunned, and asked, "Lord Steward, you have been here all night, but what is the emperor's will?" ”

Lu Xi smiled: "Lord Guo, congratulations!" ”

Guo Ye was a little confused, and asked with a wry smile: "Lord Governor, what do I have to congratulate, this title of non-admiral was given by the emperor, and the errand of the firearms battalion was discharged, where is there anything to congratulate?" ”

Lu Xi smiled and said: "Lord Guo, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately, hehe, the emperor's thoughts, our family dare not guess more, but with the emperor's importance to you, he must be kind to you, this is an opportunity!" ”

Guo Ye's heart was shocked, and he summoned him overnight, it seems that what Lu Xi said is right, Xianfeng did not throw himself aside because of this.

Guo Ye followed Lu Xi and came to the Baohe Palace.

Seeing Xianfeng, Guo Ye hurriedly knelt down: "Minister Guo Ye see the emperor!" Participate in the concubine Niangniang! ”

Xianfeng replied lightly: "Okay, now is not the court meeting, so there is no need for so much etiquette!" Lu Xi, bring a chair for Guo Aiqing. ”

Guo Ye was taken aback, according to the convention, only senior and virtuous ministers are qualified to sit in front of the emperor, he is not old, not a heavy minister, as for Deshao, it is even more unbearable, he has just been punished!

Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, where is there a seat for the minister to sit in front of you and the concubine, and the minister is standing in the prime of life for an hour or two, so it's okay!" ”

Xianfeng was not reluctant, and said, "Guo Ye, do you know what I summoned you into the palace late at night?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Humph!"

Xianfeng snorted coldly and replied: "A few days ago, you were too presumptuous, smashing the county government, burning the farm, beating the court officials, and behaving in a bad manner, all of which were good things that you drove out!" ”

Guo Ye's face turned red, and he knelt down and said, "The crime of the minister, please punish the emperor severely." ”

Xianfeng sighed and said: "Okay, get up, I don't want to pursue you when you are young, the rest is easy to say, it's just Prince Yi's face, I still can't help but defend it, I can only temporarily wronged you, when I get to Baoding, give me a good look, I still say the same thing, as long as you live up to the court, I will definitely not hesitate to reward!" ”
