Chapter 261: The Queen Mother Gives Marriage
The official post station in Yulin Fort had already been looted before the arrival of Zhao Guanhou and his party, the post horses were robbed, and the post station was also burned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info They had to find a big car shop and kneel outside the door and wait for the car. The soldiers were already lined up outside the fort to greet them, and they were Zhao Guanhou, Shi Gege, Yang Cuiyu, Jiang Fengzhi and Sister Fu's mother and daughter.
After the car of the two palaces arrived, they entered the house first, and the room had been cleaned by Zhao Guanhou, so they could deal with it. As soon as he settled down, Li Lianying came out to greet him, "Lafayette called Lord Zhao, go in and talk." ”
In the main room, Cixi sat on the head, Emperor Tianyou sat down, both of them had already changed into palace clothes, and they were still the style of the Empress Dowager of Heaven. But the voice was hoarse, and there were bouts of coughing, which could not be maintained in any way.
Cixi looked at Zhao Guanhou, "I heard that your whereabouts are unknown during the Battle of Hexi, what is going on?" ”
"Back to Lafayette's words, the situation at that time was very chaotic, the minister's soldiers and horses were scattered, and the minister was coerced by the chaotic army, and he couldn't kill it, so he had to rush and kill indiscriminately. Lai Empress Dowager and His Majesty's blessing blessed, the minister got out of trouble, wandered in Jinmen, and came out of the city, along the way to search, until he met with his subordinates, only to know that you and his party went to the west of the mountain, specially to pick up. ”
"You're here to take over, where's the magistrate of this place?"
"His whereabouts are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. The minister could only rely on his own soldiers, first hold Huailai, and then bring a group of men to Yulin Fort. It's just that the minister wants to confess to the queen mother, and he arrived in a hurry, and he is not familiar with the gentry, and a lot of materials are not ready, and the whole banquet of the Qihan and the first pot cannot be prepared. There were originally dozens of tables, but they were also destroyed by the rebels. ”
"There is a rebellion, how much?"
"There were so many that the ministers did not dare to kill their allies without orders, so they had to take them. Finally saved a pot of porridge and a little coarse dry food, but the amount was very small. ”
"Got porridge? Got dry food? Cixi's tone was actually a little excited, "It's good to have this, hurry up and present it." I won't lie to you, and along the way, the emperor and I didn't eat anything, and we didn't drink anything. There was not even a mouthful of water on the road, and the officials fled. You are willing to come all the way from Jinmen to take over, you are really a loyal minister with a conscience, and I never thought that the overall situation and people's hearts would be corrupted to such a point! In the future, neither I nor the emperor will treat you badly. ”
Speaking of this, Cixi remembered what she had encountered along the way, and the suffering she had experienced, but she couldn't control it, and she cried loudly again. As soon as she cried, the emperor cried, the eunuchs and palace maids all cried, and there were also sad voices in the back room, thinking that the accompanying lady was sad. Zhao Guanhou had no choice but to cry with him, and finally arrived home with his kung fu performance, and the crying was sincere, and he couldn't see the fake.
waited until he cried for a while, and then Cixi said, "You go down first," and the meaning of these words was obviously urging the meal. Zhao Guanhou came out of the house, made a look, ten grids, jade, and Fengzhi, and sent a small pot of mung bean porridge and two black nests plus a few pieces of dried snacks. After a short time, I heard a sound like a dog drinking water in the room, presumably eating.
After about ten minutes, Li Lianying came out of it and greeted Zhao Guanhou: "Lafayette asked, is there anything better?" There was no food or drink on the road, and there was a lack of nutrition, and this coarse grain alone was not very good. ”
Zhao Guanhou said in his heart: I knew your virtue, so I couldn't give you the good ones from the beginning, otherwise at this time, I wouldn't know what to ask me for. Therefore, he acted as a difficulty: "Boss, don't hide it, this place has been washed by the rebels, and there are basically no good things left, and it is very difficult to find it, and you can't buy it now." All I eat is dry food, not as good as this. I can only try to find it, but I may not be able to find it. ”
"You have to do your best, you can't do it, and you don't sin about it."
Zhao Guanhou pretended to go around, and when he came back, he took a few eggs. This is what he has prepared a long time ago, and at this time, he only regarded it as a new one, and deliberately showed a hint of joy, "The chief manager, the two palaces are blessed by the sky, and the ancestors bless, so let the lower officials find these chickens (when the eunuch face, you can't mention the eggs), hurry up and take them in, and honor Lafayette." ”
After a while, Li Lianying came out again, with a smile on her face, "The chicken you entered, Lafayette is very useful, I ate three, and two were rewarded to Long Live Lord, and no one else can touch it." The eldest brother dropped half a piece of snack and was shouting that he was hungry. Galeries Lafayette will now call you in and talk to you. ”
As soon as Zhao Guanhou entered the house again, he saw that Cixi had already picked up the hookah, and looked around the house while smoking, looking very leisurely. Seeing him come in, Cixi smiled kindly and beckoned, "Guanhou, sit down and talk." Yuqing and the three of them went to the back room to talk to the female dependents, you come here, let's say a few words. ”
Li Lianying moved a chair over, Zhao Guanhou hurriedly sat down, and sighed, "Originally, in the palace, the delicious food was tasteless, but today I know that this coarse tea and light rice are so delicious." As for the black one you sent, when you were in the palace, it would never be served on the table, but when I ate it today, it was really fragrant. Does that thing have a name? ”
"Back to Lafayette, it is the coarse dry food of the people, called Wowo."
"Wowo...... This is not good, our mother has not touched her teeth for two days, and she is all counting on this thing to save her. ”
"The minister wants to eat for this, and the Empress Dowager Xie has given her name."
The three of them smiled, which made the atmosphere a lot more relaxed, and Emperor Tianyou asked at this time: "Zhao Guanhou, you said that the rebel army robbed the banquet, do you know which way the rebel army is?" ”
"If you go back to long live, this minister can't say it. The uniforms of the chaotic army are chaotic, and there are no people, and I can't see where the people are. The minister can only say that they are not soldiers of the right army of Wuwei. ”
Cixi nodded and said: "The soldiers of the Wuwei Right Army are very good, escorting along the way, never complaining of hardship or thirst, only camping, not occupying residential buildings, can be called strict military discipline, and are first-class good soldiers." Those rebellious armies are really hateful, and the reputation of the court is ruined by these people. With them messing around like this in front, the people are fleeing, and it will be difficult for us to find people again. Ma Yulun's soldiers had to defend Nankou and Juyong Pass, not only to block the pursuing soldiers of the foreigners, but also to stop them, so as not to let the stragglers escape again. After Tang Qing's men and horses arrived, they would be together with Ma Yulun's soldiers, guard the pass for me, and kill any rebel army if they wanted to get out of the pass. As for the soldiers in front, they also have to be disposed of, Guanhou, can your soldiers deal with them? ”
"Back to Lafayette's words, the minister's soldiers have no problem dealing with the boxers and the rebel army, but they must have a will, and if there is no will, they dare not move."
"The gist, this is very easy to do, long live the order, let the military planes copy it, and you can ......make it clear."
When Cixi left the palace, the military aircraft seal and the palace seal were all on his body, and it was not difficult to write the purpose, but when it came to Mingfa, where could the situation at this time go. But the habit of saying it usually can't be changed at this time, so he only said: "Guanhou, the stragglers and boxers will be dealt with by you." These battalions were yours in the first place, and now they are under your control, and as long as we get to the place safely, you will be rewarded. ”
"The minister only asks for the mercy and peace of the holy driver, and does not covet rewards. In addition, the minister also had to ask the Queen Mother and Banzai for guilt, and when the minister was fighting in Hexi, he saw that the situation was dangerous and there was a danger of annihilation. The minister was afraid that the elite would be defeated in Hexi, and there would be no one to protect him in the future, so he ordered the artillery battalion to withdraw from the battlefield first, leaving a useful body to protect King Qin. The minister is in charge of his own affairs, and he asks the Queen Mother and Banzai to reduce the punishment. ”
Cixi shook his head, "It is said that it is a capital crime to escape from the battle, but it also has to be divided into circumstances, and you did the right thing." If your artillery battalion does not withdraw, you will also accompany Li Bingheng to fold in Hexi. Feng Lu drank bullets, Li Bingheng committed suicide in the water, they were loyal enough, but unfortunately they lost their lives in vain, but they couldn't retreat from the foreigners. In the current situation, we must not be confined to the constitution, we must adapt to the situation, leave a little more strength, and we will have more capital to deal with foreigners. You have retained the vitality of our Dajin, there is no fault, only credit, how can I blame you? To tell you the truth, if you hadn't taken over here and had soldiers to protect you, the emperor and I wouldn't know what would have happened. There is still a long way to go, and the responsibility of guarding is very heavy, you and your subordinates must do a good job, and the court will not fail you in the future. ”
"Obey. However, the ministers have the courage to make a will, and if the ministers assume the responsibility of guarding, the military discipline of the troops along the way will be maintained by the ministers. lest some troops behave indiscriminately, delay the supply or ruin the reputation of the court, and finally push each other's commissions, and the minister's errand will not be able to continue. ”
"This is very easy to do, the will will be brushed to you, these rebels, it is really unspeakable. Even the emperor's banquet, they dare to snatch it, and if they don't make a system, they will rebel against the sky. You just have to let it go, let it go and kill, even if it is a person from the Wuwei Chinese Army, if you commit something, you will not forgive! ”
Cixi gave this will, which is tantamount to giving Zhao Guanhou Shangfang a sword, the members of the Wuwei Chinese Army are all banner people, although there are only one hundred and ten Chinese soldiers in the team, but the identity is very special, and the Han members are not easy to govern them. Now even they can be killed, that is, there is no person who cannot be killed by Zhao Guanhou, and the power is so great that even a first-class admiral cannot be compared. Cixi said to Li Lianying again: "Call a few girls out, I have something to ask them." ”
Shi Gege and the other three people, although they were wearing men's clothes, but they couldn't hide it, Cixi sent them to the back to talk to a few female dependents, called out at this time, and knelt in front of them one by one. Cixi looked at Shigege first: "You are the old ten of the old Qing family, right?" It's so famous in Kyori that even I've heard your name. You are the same generation as the emperor, go over and kowtow and shout the imperial brother. ”
Yuqing was shocked, her identity was not even recognized by the Zongren Mansion, how could she be qualified to call the emperor a brother? But Cixi nodded and said, "Go, it's okay to have me." ”
Shigege knelt down in front of the emperor, and shouted with trembling Brother Huang, Emperor Tianyou nodded, even if he recognized it. Cixi looked at Li Lianying and said: "Lao Shi's identity is special, and some things can't be said clearly, besides, if he really enters the family tree, it will be troublesome to have a relationship with the crown marquis." I only fulfill people, do not harm people, this identity, I will not move, so as not to make King Qing's face ugly. But Lian Ying, you tell the people in the palace that from now on, Yuqing is their ten masters, and those who recognize me have to recognize her as the master. If you don't recognize her, you don't recognize me! ”
"Slave thank Lafayette for his great kindness!" This reward can be regarded as making Yuqing a princess, for an illegitimate daughter like Yuqing, it is a great glory, and it is much more important than rewarding her gold and silver treasures and her identity. Her tears flowed uncontrollably, kowtowing the ground.
Cixi picked her up with a kind face, "This child, what are you crying about, come and sit next to me, and talk to me tonight." Let's have a good chat, you and your sisters have to have something to say. ”
She looked at Jade and Fengzhi again, "You two, raise your head, I'll take a look at you." ”
Although the second daughter has also seen the world, in the face of the queen mother of a country, she feels afraid from the heart, even if Yang Cuiyu is a long-sleeved woman who is good at dancing, she is speechless. Cixi looked at the two of them for a while, and then looked at Zhao Guanhou, "You are so blessed, so many good girls, they are all devoted to you." Do you know how to cherish blessings as a human being? Don't let these two good girls down. ”
"I don't dare."
"It's good if you don't dare. Lian Ying, I want to sing a Famen Temple today, what do you think? ”
Li Lianying hurriedly smiled: "Lafayette wants to sing out of Famen Temple, that is naturally good, and the slave has to pretend to be Jia Gui." ”
"You are also pretending to be Liu Jin. Go and bring my little box. ”
Li Lianying didn't go out for a long time, and the two little eunuchs came in with a big wooden box. Open the lock, the jewels, the room is full of light. In this box, all of them are Cixi's favorite jewelry, and any one of them is a priceless treasure. When Cixi left the palace, he brought a lot of treasures, but he couldn't meet people, and he couldn't buy things with money. At this time, he did not reward gold and silver, but took out this box, which is to really bleed.
She pointed to the box and said to the second daughter: "Each of you takes six pieces of jewelry from it, and you can take anything, and I will reward you." Your marriage with Zhao Guanhou, even if it is a marriage given by me, he and his main family will not dare to bully you. Wearing the jewelry I have rewarded, there is no family law that can beat you, and no one dares to sell you, and whoever dares to touch your finger is guilty of losing your head. Don't stand stupid, go get it. ”
The two women were like dreams, they never expected that they would be able to get married by the Queen Mother, and they never expected that they would be rewarded from the Queen Mother's treasures. The two of them stretched out their hands tremblingly, but they didn't dare to take them, as if those treasures had thorns on them, and they were about to prick their hands when they touched them.
Cixi smiled, "You guys, what two stupid children, give you a chance, and you don't know how to take it." In this way, Lian Ying, you let people carry the box to the back, and let the eldest princess help them pick it, and it's good to pick it accurately. Guanhou, you go to find a house, and do a happy event for the three of you tonight, from now on, your marriage will be considered dead. From tomorrow onwards, you will have to protect the holy car, and it will not be so idle. Enjoy this evening and take care of your lady. (To be continued.) )
