"What? You repeat! ”

In the Longyan Post House, Yuan Jiasan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was wearing pajamas, pulling his shoes upside down, and his face was cloudy.

On the ground, there was a junior colonel kneeling, and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother encountered bandit civil strife in the camp, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is nowhere to be found. ”

Yuan Jiasan walked a few steps, but he didn't notice that his shoes had fallen off, "Go, go and ask General Mutern." ”

No need to please, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and seeing that the door was open, Mutern pushed the door in, his face was strange, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

"Go down, go down." Yuan Jiasan waved his hand.

The Colonel hurriedly retreated and closed the door.

"Sure enough, something happened!" Yuan Jiasan sighed, sat down, picked up the teapot on the sandalwood table, poured a cup of cold tea, shook his head, and put it down again.

Mutern sat down on the other side of the table, sighed, and didn't speak.

The Queen Mother had an accident in Fujian, and the two of them couldn't get out of it, this is a grasshopper on a line.

Yuan Jiasan suddenly stood up again and said, "What about Zhu Ketu, what's going on?" No, I'm going to check it out. Obviously, the heart is disturbed, starting from receiving the secret decree of the saint, the Queen Mother's route back to Beijing and the negotiations with Yingyi are all handled by him, and the Queen Mother has an accident, and his sin is not light.

Mutenn waved his hand: "I have sent someone, let's think about the regulations first, at this time, we can't mess up." ”

Yuan Jiasan sat down abruptly, picked up the cup of cold tea, and poured a few sips.

It was getting late, and the officials who had come to pick up the two palaces were resting at the Longyan Prefecture Post House, who knew that something happened tonight.

"This Jingxiang is extremely bold." Mu Teen said with a gloomy face that when he was a general in Guangzhou, he was squeezed out by Ye Zhao, and he had no good impression of Ye Zhao.

Yuan Jiasan smiled bitterly: "This is not necessarily what Jing Xiang did. ”

Mutten was stunned, and his face became more and more strange.

"The life and death of the two palaces are uncertain, and the winners and losers are undecided, but I, ah, am the first big loser!" In the past two years, Yuan Jiasan and Mu Teen have gotten along very closely, but they have nothing to talk about.

No matter what the outcome of this earth-shattering change is, Yuan Jiasan knows that he will not be able to escape his involvement, and he may lose his official position and dismiss him.

Mu Teen said: "This may not be, Taiwan is the pillar of the country, and the emperor must think about it." ”

Yuan Jiasan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that some people won't give up!" "It doesn't matter if the two palaces are dead or alive, the emperor may not unload the mill and kill the donkey, but Jingxiang will definitely be pressing step by step, if he suffers a loss, this breath will definitely be sprinkled on him, if the two palaces are safe, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to make trouble.

This Jingxiang is a thorn, the emperor was accidentally stabbed with blood on his hands, let alone himself? It's a pity that the position of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, no matter what, has to deal with him.

Mu Teen has suffered Ye Zhao's loss, and he knows that what Yuan Jiasan said is true, Jing Xiang has nothing to do, and there will be some trouble, this earth-shattering change, I really don't know how many people's heads fell to the ground after the dust settled, and how many red tops were taken off!

The door was knocked gently, and Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian, walked in, he also took the position of admiral, and he controlled the green camp.

Ping said that Wang Yide was not on good terms with Yuan Jiasan and Mu Teen, and they were quite a little guilty, but at this moment, you look at me and I look at you, but there is some sympathy for the rabbit and the dead fox.

At the end of December 1857, the first town of the infantry regiment, which was resting in Guangzhou, entered the territory of Fujian to search for bandits and find the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces.

The garrisons of the Green Camp in Longyan Prefecture and Tingzhou Prefecture near more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Guangdong were disarmed, and by January 1858, the First Town Infantry Regiment of the Guangdong Army was stationed in Quanzhou and took control of this historic port and trading city.

For nearly a month, Yuan Jiasan wrote a letter and went to Guangzhou to pay a visit, but he just didn't see the general Wang, so he couldn't help it, and half of Fujian was controlled by the Guangdong army, and the green camp and the Guangdong army also had a misfire, and there were several skirmishes.

Several holy decrees from the capital went to Guangzhou and Fuzhou, nothing more than to reprimand Yuan Jiasan and other Fujian officials, and even ordered Jingxiang, Yuan Jiasan and other Fujian and Guangdong officials in a very stern tone to clear the thieves in the territory and ensure the safety of the empress dowager of the two palaces.

At the end of January, General Jingkou of Pingyuan and Wang Jingxiang of Suzhi County finally wrote a reply letter to Yuan Jiasan, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was safe and sound, but was rescued by several extremely loyal palace maids, but she got lost and wandered around the deserted mountains for nearly a month before she was discovered by the soldiers who searched the mountains.

Quanzhou Prefecture Governor Yamen Flower Hall.

Ma Xinyi was sitting in a precarious position, with a slight excitement in his heart, the general Wang summoned him, this was the moment he had been looking forward to for a long time, from the moment of the change in the camp, he was originally for today.

In these days, he assisted Suna, the head of the military room of the General's Mansion, to rectify the green camp in Fujian, which can be described as his best efforts, and he was quite prestigious in the green camp, and he did not encounter too many twists and turns in disrupting the green camp and organizing it into a patrol battalion.

Sitting on the hardwood chair, Ma Xinyi was happy for a while, panicked for a while, and his heart went up and down, but there was no land.

Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall, Ma Xinyi hurriedly stood up, and then saw a few people walking outside, first a graceful and luxurious beautiful young man, fair-skinned, handsome and elegant beyond words, even if the man wanted to look at him a few more times, but the gaze swept in, not angry but mighty, which made people's hearts jump.

Ma Xinyi knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Humble Ma Xinyi to the general Wang Peace, the prince is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly, sat on the main seat, glanced at Ma Xinyi a few times, and said, "Get up." Suddenly stunned, then picked up his hand and folded, "Ma Xinyi"?

"You're going back, Shandong?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Yes!" Ma Xinyi just got up, and he fell to one knee again.

"No formality! Sit. Ye Zhao waved his hand, put down his hand, looked at Ma Xinyi, and said in his heart that this was really a coincidence. Who is Ma Xinyi? The protagonist of the horse assassination case in later generations? Ten years later, in the governor of Liangjiang, he was stabbed to death in front of the official office, which was a big case that caused a sensation in the world, there was a Qing generation, the only feudal official who was assassinated in the peaceful era, and it was in front of the official office, which is really incredible.

This Ma Xinyi is very talented, but the impact of the horse assassination case is extremely huge, and he has been put on the movie and television screen several times, and the content of this joke is wonderful, among which the most mainstream plot is that Ma Xinyi originally had three brothers, and he was lustful and lustful, coveting the sister-in-law, and he killed the eldest brother, and even occupied the beautiful and merry sister-in-law, while the assassin Zhang Wenxiang was the third brother and assassinated the eldest brother in revenge.

Looking at Ma Xinyi, Ye Zhao almost wanted to ask him if he had sworn to the three brothers, but swallowed the words to his mouth, and said in his heart that he would go crazy in front of the matchmaker and Rong'er, just forget it, this is crazy with others, don't frighten people.

"I heard Suna say that you have done something very much in this paragraph." Ye Zhao tasted the tea and said lightly.

"What a lowly office should do!" Ma Xinyi, who was sitting next to half of his buttocks, stood up again, bowed and clenched his fists.

"Sit down, I'm here, I'm afraid of being restrained!" Ye Zhao waved his hand.

"Yes, yes." Ma Xinyi sat down in a proper manner.

"Who can do it, the king knows in his heart, the queen mother of the two palaces was frightened, and she wants to temporarily recuperate in Quanzhou for a few days, and you will stay in Quanzhou for a few days and run errands with me."

Ma Xinyi was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "I will do my best to do the things that the prince has explained!" ”

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, the two palaces would return to Guangzhou by water from Quanzhou, and staying in Quanzhou for a few days was just enough to make their influence really penetrate into Fujian.

This earth-shattering change, the southeast shock, the two palaces "escaped", not to mention the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang, who have already flocked to Quanzhou to ask for guilt, Yuan Jiasan has also arrived in Quanzhou, but he has not seen him yet.

Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Cheng Xucai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, wrote an excerpt to ask for guilt, but they couldn't get away because of the war, and the officials and literati of the governor of Huguang were already on their way to Guangzhou.

The queen mother of the two palaces suffered this catastrophe, and the officialdom of the southeast, south, and southwest were shaken, but as for the abacus in each heart, it was not known to outsiders.

Ye Zhao pondered, and said: "The rebellion of the green camp in southern Fujian, Wang Yide of the Fujian military gate cannot escape the blame, and the queen mother has issued an edict to dismiss Wang Yide from his post and give the governor of Fujian and the governor of Fujian Province. He glanced at Ma Xinyi and said with a smile: "And brother, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is loyal, and she has a good political voice. ”

Ma Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, thank you for the grace of the prince!" The lowly duty is afraid, and the lowly duty will do everything possible to serve the prince! Ma Xinyi naturally understands that who gave him this top, from the fourth grade to the second grade, it can be said that he has risen like a rocket, and he has not made an inch, just to help organize the green camp, but he doesn't want the prince to value himself so much, and he is really a little scared.

Seeing the three or four hundred people in the Flying Tiger Camp but killing in and out, the unstoppable momentum, Ma Xinyi's awe of the great general Wang was a little more.

"Get up! Feel free to run errands in the future! Regarding the rebellion of the Green Camp, you have to write an excerpt in detail, and I will send it to Beijing. ”

"Wow!" Ma Xinyi responded loudly. I also know in my heart that the so-called Green Camp Rebellion is just to find a step for this matter so that both sides can step down.

It's just that in this way, the Fujian officials are unlucky, and they even give the general Wang an excuse to purge the officials and the green camp. The emperor can't help it, after all, he can only swallow the dead cat.

Ma Xinyi also said: "The lowly duties will definitely be done under the rule of Master Li, and the "Commercial Law", "Civil Law", "Criminal Law" and other laws and lowly duties have been involved, and they will definitely study hard in the future. ”

Ye Zhao really glanced at him this time, this Ma Xinyi is really a caring person, but he is not just speculating.

Ma Xinyi still knelt respectfully.

"Good, good, good!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Get up, if you encounter obstacles, you might as well give me a fold directly." ”

Hearing the three "good" words of the great general king, Ma Xinyi knew that he had truly entered the eyes of the great general king, and bowed his head respectfully: "Humble duty!" ”

…… Goodbye mutern, it's a different story.

A few years ago, Mu Teen was still Ye Zhao's superior, but now he said goodbye, things are people, but Mu Teen had to respectfully beat a thousand: "See the prince for his humble position." ”

Speaking of which, the number of etiquette is also counted as sufficient, but in fact, he just bows his hand, and there is nothing wrong.

Ye Zhao smiled and helped him up, affectionately pulled him to sit on both sides of the upper seat, and said with a smile: "General, you and I have a friendship, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Mu Teen also smiled affectionately, he couldn't see what he was thinking, and said: "The lower officials don't dare, the prince's prestige is spread all over the world, and I want to be arrogant and ashamed." ”

It's a little discouraged to think about it, in a few years, in the past, this opponent threw him out of the clouds, and now people are in a tiger's position, with flags covering the clouds, and guns covering the clouds, and moving a move, even Yanjing City will tremble, and the emperor is a little jealous of him, himself, it is not enough to look at it at all.

But I have to say that I can't become an ornament as a Fuzhou general, and said with a smile: "Wang Yide is to blame, and the rectification of the green camp is imperative, but the flag soldiers, the green battalion, and the lower officials have all been restrained, but now they don't know how to implement the decree." ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This layer of generals only needs to discuss with Gang'an. "There is also a flag city in Fuzhou, Ye Zhao pondered that sooner or later it will be demolished for you, but the time is not enough.

Mu Teen said with a smile: "Gang'an has a way to command the army, and with him sitting in Fuzhou, the lower officials are very relieved." "Originally, he was just a small flag soldier, but after following Ye Zhao for a few years, he was almost on an equal footing with him, what was the feeling in Mu Teen's heart, but it was not enough for outsiders.

Ye Zhao smiled again: "Purge the green camp in Fujian Province, and ask the general to help Gang'an." "Now the reorganization is only the southwest half of the territory, north of Xinghua and Fuzhou, and the power of the Guangdong army has not reached.

Mu Ten scolded the little fox in his heart, he was still so cunning. Originally, he was asking for an explanation, but he gently pushed it to Gang'an, and now he is even more anti-general, asking him, the general of Fuzhou, to come forward to clean up the green camp in the province.

"Definitely, definitely." Mutern had a smile on his face.

Ye Zhao also knew that he would only do everything possible to prevent his influence from infiltrating Fujian, and it would be impossible to help Gang'an unify the local armed forces. What he said was just pushing the boat along the river, creating some problems for him and supporting Gang'an.

On the afternoon of sending Mu Teen away, Ye Zhao met with Yuan Jiasan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Speaking of which, Yuan Jiasan didn't expect that Ye Zhao didn't take the opportunity to make a fuss about his top wear, although he knew that Ye Zhao was not a soft-hearted person, he didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, but he just felt that the time was not right.

But after all, there was some emotion in his heart, and the emperor of the capital issued several edicts to pry him, as if this earth-shattering change was all caused by him.

Although the emperor's bid is well-intentioned, it is not a glorious thing after all.

The two palaces are unharmed, and now the victory and defeat have been divided, and from the scales and half-claws described by the surviving green battalion soldiers, it is not difficult to guess who is the first to attack this time.

Yuan Jiasan took a lot of effort to negotiate with Bao Ling about the escort of the military ships, and at the moment of reaching a consensus, Yuan Jiasan was inexplicably excited, you must know that the general Wang and Bao Ling had close personal contacts and were well known.

Looking at it now, the agreement that I have made countless hardships has turned out to be just a cover. Bao Ling was furious and wrote a harshly worded protest letter, and the relationship between the two had just broken down completely.

Although the royal battle was bloody, there was always some discomfort in my heart.

It was when Ye Zhao smiled and said: "I also ask the people of Taiwan to cooperate with the new officials in Fujian." When Yuan Jiasan nodded, he was quite sincere.
