"The emperor is bitter, his whole arm is gone, he is locked up in the Zongren Mansion in Mixiang of the Dongjiang River, except for a Parker doctor sent by the Minister of Ali, he is surrounded by Cantonese bandits, and the slaves are really reluctant to leave the emperor, the sixth prince, you must save the emperor......"

In the quiet Phoenix Building, I heard an old man crying and sobbing. Prince Gong Yixin sat on the throne, and also shed tears together, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, Gong Lao Liu's face was full of helplessness.

Kneeling in front of him was none other than Mu Zhang'a. He talked and cried with a dejected face, and when he talked about his emotions, he kept meeting on the ground. There is also a beaded curtain behind King Gong, and behind the beaded curtain sits a woman in palace clothes in her thirties, who is also crying and crying. This woman is Prince Gong's biological mother, Emperor Gong's concubine Jinghuang Borzigit. Although this woman is sitting behind the beaded curtain now, it has nothing to do with the curtain and listening to politics or anything. Prince Gong Yixin is now 17 years old, both civil and military (if you want to compare wrestling, Yang Xiuqing probably can't beat this 17-year-old half-grown son), and he is very smart, and his brain is better than that of Emperor Daoguang.

Therefore, Emperor Daoguang didn't think about the Empress Dowager's curtain at all, but arranged eight ministers for Prince Gong, including Cezanne, Seng Greenqin, Mianyu, Qi Liaozao, Xu Guangjin, Qiying, and Prince Gong's father-in-law, Guerjia. Gui Liang, as well as Prince Gong's teacher Zhuo Bingtian. Now, in addition to the three of Seng Lingqin, Qi Liaozao and Mianyu, the other five ministers who take care of their lives, as well as the fourth son of Emperor Daoguang, Yixu, and the fifth son, Yixu, are all sitting on the stools on both sides, all sighing and shedding tears.

It's easy to wait for Mu Zhang'a's crying to come to an end. Emperor Jing, who was behind the curtain, sighed. Said slowly: "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Before Emperor Jing and Prince Gong left Beijing. Emperor Daoguang had an explanation - at that time, Daoguang's meaning was very clear, that is, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died. made it clear that he wanted to learn from Emperor Chongzhen, how did he become Song Huizong now?

"What does the emperor mean...... The Qing Dynasty must negotiate peace with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and only in this way can we win a respite and regain our strength. ”

Several people's eyes focused on Yi Xin's face, and Yi Xin knew that they were waiting for their own ideas, so they groaned. He said carefully: "The will of the Emperor Ama, we naturally have to abide by it, and it is also our duty to be a son of man and a minister, so we should immediately start to negotiate peace with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." But...... I'm afraid it's not very easy to cut off the mainland, Qi Liaozao, Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, these people, do they still listen to us? I think it's very difficult, they are all overlords, how can they be willing to hand over the territory? If they refuse to hand over the territory, or simply raise the crowd to show up. Will the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom harm Huang Ama because of this? Mu Zhang'a, you will go to Beijing again. Explain to Yang Xiuqing that the edict of cutting the land can be issued, but it cannot guarantee that those feudal officials who support the army and base the territory can be obedient. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several ministers who took care of their lives were slightly relaxed, this sixth prince was really smart, and he kicked the problem back to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in a few words. In the territory of the Guanxi region, Shengjing can't cut it all out in one go, or it will really become the Northern Qing Dynasty if it is not clear. Besides, Emperor Daoguang can't be invited back, otherwise what would Prince Gong do with Yixin? Hand over the power in your hands? Will it be able to take it back in the future?

"Yes, of course we have to negotiate peace with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, now Shengjing here wants silver but no silver, food and no food, what if we don't negotiate peace?"

"Alas, there will be no grain after the peace is discussed, and the Zhu Shun is now forbidding the transportation of rice grain from Jiangnan to Liaodong, and there has been no grain ship in Lushunkou for several days."

"What should I do if I don't have anything to eat, there are more than a million mouths here in Manchuria!"

"What to do! Didn't the ancestors still find food at that time? There is food in the old forests of Manchuria, and it is really not enough to rob the Han people, when Emperor Taizong entered the customs five times to conquer the Ming Dynasty, the southernmost side of Shandong was hit, which time was not plundered by millions of people and livestock? ”

"Can the old ancestor compare with the present at that time? Monk Greenqin's 150,000 Eight Banners New Army has collapsed, and we are still entering the customs to deliver food to the door? ”

"Who said you have to enter the customs? I think the ancestors also made two expeditions to North Korea! ”

Prince Gong nodded, of course he understood the thoughts of several ministers. They are all hardcores to protect themselves as emperors, and they are reluctant to let Emperor Daoguang come to Shengjing, but the Qing Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and they couldn't say that they should not welcome Daoguang back, so they simply turned the topic to grabbing grain.

Of course, grabbing grain is also a big deal, otherwise the 800,000 ancestors outside the gate will have no food, even if they welcome back Emperor Daoguang, the Qing Dynasty will have no way to live.

So as soon as the news of Zhu Ming's ban on grain exports came out, the issue of grabbing grain began to be discussed in Shengjing Fengtianxing Palace. Robbing things was originally the old business of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and people made a fortune from this.

But this time, that time. The current Beijing City is no longer the capital of Emperor Chongzhen, but the territory of Yang Xiuqing, which is a ruthless character who caught Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty and dug up the bones of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty and sold them for money. With Prince Gong's ten dares, he didn't dare to rob Yang Xiuqing's grain...... And his father, Emperor Daoguang, is still pinching it in Yang Xiuqing's hands! If you can't rob Yang Xiuqing, then you can only rob North Korea. This matter had been finalized before Mu Zhang'a arrived in Shengjing, and it was prepared that Prince Gong Yixin would personally recruit and lead 50,000 troops, claiming to be 100,000, to "rescue" North Korea, which was being harassed by the "Ming Kou", and by the way, he would take some people, livestock and grain from North Korea back to Manchuria for emergency relief.

Of course, Mu Zhang'a knew the thoughts of a few ministers, but the matter of peace had been finalized, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only meet and go. Several ministers who took care of their lives, as well as the two brothers Yi Su and Yi Cheng, also retired as Yiyi. Only Prince Gong Yixin's father-in-law Gui Liang and teacher Zhuo Bingtian and Concubine Jing did not leave.

Before he went down, Emperor Jing and Concubine Jing sighed behind the curtain: "Sixth, there is really no way to save your Emperor Ama?" ”

Prince Gong stood up, bowed to his mother behind the curtain, and just wanted to explain, but his teacher Zhuo Bingtian spoke first: "If you go back to the imperial concubine, the emperor is now a hostage in the hands of Cantonese bandits, so Yang Xiuqing will not let the emperor go no matter what......"

Emperor Jing's concubine's face changed: "Then why does this Yang Xiuqing want to put Mu Zhang'a back, and he also wants to make peace with our Daqing?" ”

Prince Gong smiled bitterly and said: "Yang Xiuqing wants to make peace with us sincerely, because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is now caught between us and Zhu Ming, and he can't only make peace with us if he doesn't want to be attacked on both sides." But Huang Ama will not let go, only when Huang Ama is in his hands, he can rest assured and boldly concentrate the main force to fight with Zhu Ming for the Central Plains...... The current general trend is like the three kingdoms of Mongolia, Jin, and Song in the past, but unfortunately it is no longer the era of arching and horses to win the world, and the war relies on foreign guns and cannons, so Zhu Yi, who occupies the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, is like Mongolia at that time, and his strength is the strongest; And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is like the Kingdom of Jin, with the Central Plains, its strength should not be underestimated, but it is under the enemy's back; And my Qing Dynasty is equivalent to the Southern Song Dynasty, if you do not negotiate peace with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and fight with it, it will be like the Southern Song Dynasty adopted the strategy of attacking the gold, except for a jackal, attracting a tiger. ”

Emperor Jing's concubine sighed again, she is a woman's family, she was drafted into the palace at the age of 12 or a little Lori, she is still good at palace fighting, otherwise she would not have become the head of the six palaces after the death of Queen Xiaoquan. But how can she understand the general trend of the world outside the palace? In addition to wholeheartedly supporting his son, he could only pray to the gods and Buddhas and pray for the blessing of the imprisoned Daoguang Emperor.

"Sixth, if the emperor really can't come back, the Qing Dynasty can't be without a king for a day!" Emperor Jing's concubine looked at her son and whispered, "After the second sect of Huiqin in the Song Dynasty was plundered by Dajin, Song Gaozong became the emperor, and he managed to keep half of the Southern Song Dynasty......"

What Emperor Jing and Concubine Jing meant, Prince Gong Yixin didn't understand, this was to ask him to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Gongqin's mother replied, "What Eniang said is very true, after the son-in-law plans to conquer Korea and return from victory, he will ascend the throne in Shengjing. (To be continued......)
