Chapter 537: Sorrow for the Son of Heaven
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Xianfeng slapped the table, he didn't know that Ye Mingchen's family had already run away, and immediately said angrily: "Decree the Admiral of the Nine Gates, in the future, all the relatives of Han officials above the fifth grade in Beijing must report and register when they enter and leave the Nine Gates!" ”
"Wow!" Another eunuch took the order and departed.
Although all Chinese dynasties and dynasties have regulations that the feudal officials must settle their homes in the capital, but with the passage of peace, no one really takes it seriously. For example, if you go out of the city to play, or go to Tianjin Beidaihe to see the sea, can you still go?
The Ming Dynasty had a brocade guard, in the homes of the ministers, once there was something to report at any time, so there were many complaints, and the Qing Dynasty in order to accept the heart of the Han vassals, but also to show benevolence, no longer to the officials' homes to insert eyeliner, which in the extraordinary period has formed a loophole.
Wu Wenrong's family was easily fished away by the Democratic Alliance Army, Xianfeng didn't care too much, but this is good, Ye Mingchen's family also ran away, so he was so not angry?
"Your Majesty, this doesn't seem appropriate, right?" Lan'er couldn't help but persuade: "Although Ye Mingchen is obsessed, he is an example after all, most of the local officials are still interested in the court, Lan'er is worried, I am afraid that it will cause criticism." ”
"Criticism?" Xianfeng snorted angrily: "When people run out, naturally no one will talk about it, am I at the end of my life?" ”
Xianfeng's face was hideous and distorted, and there were bursts of fear in his heart, Hong Xiuquan, Zhang Xingle, Wang Feng and others successively opposed the Qing Dynasty, which put the Qing Dynasty in a great predicament, but he still had the confidence to turn the sky upside down, in comparison, Ye Mingchen's influence on self-reliance was even worse, and it began to collapse from within. A dynasty with strong foreign enemies is not terrible. Internal collapse is the deadliest of all.
With Ye Mingchen as a precedent, who knows if other feudal officials will follow suit? A rift of mutual distrust between the monarch and the courtiers has arisen since then!
"Your Majesty. Mirijian's commissioner in China, Mai Lian, and the French minister, Bourblon, arrived, and were waiting outside the palace. ”
"Biography!" Xianfeng waved his hand!
"Wow!" The eunuch retreated and walked out of the hall, and in a short time he led Bourblon and Mailian in.
Bourblon and Mai Lian both bowed: "Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Second French Empire to the Qing State, Burbulon, Commissioner of the American Federation to the Qing State, Mai Lian, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, may I ask why His Majesty summoned him late at night?" ”
Xianfeng said coldly: "What about Bao Ling? ”
Mai Lian stumbled: "Mr. Bao Ling, as the Governor of Hong Kong, should be in Hong Kong at this time?" ”
"Hong Kong?" Xianfeng smiled gloomily: "I see that he is in Guangzhou?" You Britain, France, and the United States actually helped Ye Mingchen to rebel, and I sincerely thought that your three countries were really helping me in the Qing Dynasty. Trust you, treat each other politely, I can't imagine that you are the first to stab me in the back, what else do you have to say? Say! ”
Xianfeng looked angry, the so-called Son of Heaven was angry, and the corpse was thousands of miles away, and the people of the Qing Dynasty were already trembling with fright, but Mai Lian just said with a hint of apology: "We already know about the changes that happened in Guangzhou. We regret this, but I can assure you that the governments of the United States, Britain and France are not involved. ”
"Hahahaha~~" Xianfeng laughed angrily: "The rebellion has happened, and he said that he didn't participate." I've never seen such a shameless person as you, so don't I dare touch you? ”
Bourblon took it unhurriedly and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom, we are a democratic country in France, Britain and the United States. The government cannot interfere with private actions without reason, regarding the changes in Guangzhou. We will conduct a detailed investigation if there are indeed people from our three countries involved. We will use various methods to restrain their behavior, and please make your Majesty hasty and angry.
We, the governments of our three countries, would like to sincerely apologize in advance for the harm that our citizens may have caused to your country, and we believe that Your Majesty is a wise emperor and will not let a small twist and turn affect the cooperation between our four countries. ”
Bourblon and Mai Lian held their hearts in one hand and bowed to the end, their expressions extremely sincere.
Xianfeng was covered with a sense of powerlessness, and deep sorrow surged into his heart, quite the beginning of the Kang Yongqian Three Dynasties, the barbarian small country to see the face of the sky, who is not sincerely afraid? But once upon a time, the Qing Dynasty had decayed to this point, and the ghosts dared to get cheap and sell in front of him, and then when he thought of the loan of 300 million taels of silver, he couldn't wait to push these two ghosts out and cut them!
Intellectually, Xianfeng didn't dare to offend foreigners, but emotionally, he hated, his young face was cloudy, and his eyes were flashing with murderous intent!
Bourblon and Mai Lian secretly said badly, after all, no matter how strong Britain, France and the United States are, but now their lives are in the hands of Xianfeng, if they are killed, even if they send troops to retaliate in the future and level Beijing City, they will not be able to see it.
Burbulon hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I want to talk about my own views on the Guangzhou incident, this is actually not a bad thing, at present, the biggest enemy of the Qing State is the Democratic Alliance Army, and Ye Mingchen is self-reliant in Guangzhou, and the most threatened is the Democratic Alliance Army."
In fact, Britain, France and the United States instigated Ye Mingchen to establish the country, mainly aimed at the Democratic Alliance, and the Qing Dynasty was only affected.
"Hey~~" After listening, Xianfeng sighed, Bourblon's analysis is certainly reasonable, the court can sit on the fisherman's profits, but isn't this a step down for himself?
Another meaning of Bur Buron is that the establishment of the Democratic Republic of South Vietnam is an indisputable fact, and this is the end of the matter, how to deal with the dispute with the two Quang provinces, we will not interfere, but we will give your country an explanation, so that both sides can get by, and ask your country to take into account the overall situation, first extinguish the Democratic Alliance forces and then consider other things.
Although Xianfeng really wanted to show the majesty of the Heavenly Empire and cut down these two people, the cruel reality forced him to bow his head and choose to compromise.
In addition to venting his anger, killing a few foreign envoys in China will not help, but will anger the foreigners, tear the skin and start frontally, as Lan'er once pointed out, what the foreigners want is not the life of the Qing Dynasty, but the blood sucking, under the strong threat of the Democratic Alliance, the Qing Dynasty can only swallow its anger and let the foreigners suck it!
Xianfeng waved his hand helplessly: "I understand, I hope that you, Britain, France, and the United States can restrain their own people and not do anything that damages the relationship between them, and I also hope that you can show sincerity and effectively help me eliminate the rebels in the Qing Dynasty, okay, all retreat." ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Qing Kingdom, we will remember your advice and take our leave!" After bowing again, Bulbulon and Mai Lian turned to leave.
Xianfeng sat slumped on the dragon chair, watching the two backs disappear into the darkness, and only after a long time did he turn his head and said slowly: "Lan'er, are you saying that I am useless?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not like this, you work very hard, but the country is declining, you just didn't live at the right time, woo woo~~" As if she had a mental breakdown, Lan'er threw herself into Xianfeng's arms and cried loudly! (To be continued......)
