Shuntianfu, also the later Beiping Mansion, is the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, although it has also been baptized by the war, but after a total of several hundred years of continuous construction of the two dynasties, Shuntianfu has become a rare prosperous place at that time, and even the whole shijie, not to mention the rest of the Shuntianfu, just say that the Old Summer Palace, its luxury, can be described as unparalleled in the world. With such a prosperous place, it is no wonder that it will arouse the covetousness of the great powers.

At this time, in this imperial city, the person in charge of the imperial power is the grandson of Emperor Qianlong, the son of Emperor Jiaqing, the famous son of heaven who is afraid of his wife, Emperor Xianfeng, full name, Aixin Jueluo-Yining.

On this day, Emperor Xianfeng was flirting with his beloved concubine, Yehenara clan, that is, a few years later, the famous Cixi Lafayette.

Suddenly, someone came to report, there was an urgent piece of music delivered to the front line, Prince Gong - Yixin, the iron hat king - Monk Greenqin was waiting for Bixia in the study.

Xianfeng frowned, and reluctantly got up from Cixi's arms, not knowing what he muttered, and was very unhappy to let people serve him to change his clothes and prepare to go back to the study.

At this time, Cixi can be regarded as a virtuous mother, she just wants to teach her husband and children well, fulfill the responsibilities of a wife and mother, and she hasn't thought about other messy things.

At this time, I only listened to her persuasion: "Your Majesty, between husband and wife, the future will be long, but you must not waste the country's major affairs because of this."

You see, how well this is said, how sensible, what a haode woman.

"Aifei, you really know things, this is one of the reasons why I love you." Xianfeng pinched Cixi's face and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the concubines only want to be able to accompany their husbands for a long time, and they are satisfied." Exactly like a little woman.

"Okay, concubine, I'm going to work, you rest first, and I'll come to see you later." Xianfeng said with great perseverance.

"Yes, Bixia, Concubine Congratulations to Bixia." Cixi saluted.

Xianfeng smiled at Cixi and floated away.

In the upper study, the two important ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, Prince Gong and the Iron Hat King, were already waiting for Emperor Xianfeng.

Xianfeng sat down on the dragon chair, and the two important ministers hurriedly saluted, and after the salute, the conversation was considered to be on topic.

"What's the big deal, you're calling me here in such a hurry?" Xianfeng said very unhappily.

"The emperor forgives the sin, if it is not a major event, how dare the ministers harass you, it is true that there is an emergency recital on the front line." Prince Gong replied cautiously.

"If so, then it is good news." Emperor Xianfeng guessed with interest.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed related to the Taiping thieves, but it is not the Heavenly Empire that exterminated the thieves, but in the process of fighting with the thieves, my Heavenly Dynasty lost its troops." Prince Gong poured a basin of cold water on Xianfeng's head.

"What, you say it again." Xianfeng color change.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." The two adults were so frightened that they hurriedly lay on the ground.

"Prince Gong, tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Xianfeng stabilized his emotions and said.

"Back to the emperor, here's what happened." Prince Gong truthfully explained the situation of this battle to Emperor Xianfeng, although in Zeng Guofan's recital, Li Hongzhang has beautified many experiences and figures, but in Xianfeng's view, it is still unforgivable.

"Bastard, this Zeng Guofan really deserves to be killed, he doesn't know that when he is facing the enemy, he wants to find out the situation of the enemy chieftain? Frankly speaking, I have long been bored with this Zeng Guofan, and I have been fighting thieves for many years, but I have been repeatedly injured by thieves, what is the use of such a commander, you say, what is the use of him?" Xianfeng snapped, slapped the table, and said loudly.

The two people who were kneeling on the ground saw that Long Yan was furious, and they didn't dare to come out, but they just kept slamming their heads.

"Spread my will, dismiss Zeng Guofan on the spot, and escort him back to Beijing to be questioned." Emperor Xianfeng's face was still angry, and he pushed a large pile of folds piled on the imperial case to the ground.

"Your Majesty, there may be another hidden truth in this, if you directly dismiss Zeng Guofan on the spot, it may not be the best policy." The Iron Hat King knew that the emperor was just angry for a while, and if he really dismissed Zeng Guofan on the spot as he said, he asked, then who else could resist the enemy, so he had to come forward to intercede for Zeng Guofan.

"I don't believe it, except for his former vassal, the Qing Dynasty can't find anyone who can lead troops, aren't you, the Iron Hat King, also the first brave general in my Eight Banners Army? Can't you worry about me?" Xianfeng Emperor Road.

"Your Majesty, worry about you, that is the duty of a courtier, but our Eight Banners Army is a dignified heavenly army, how can we compete with such thieves, therefore, the Hunan army led by Zeng Guofan should be the first choice to resist the enemy, this is called Han Han, and the Hunan army was founded by Zeng Guofan, if it is led by others, I am afraid it is not appropriate, so, if you can retain Zeng Guofan, it will be beneficial and harmless to suppress thieves, and I hope the emperor will think twice." Although the Iron Hat King said so in his mouth, he was also very helpless in his heart, now the Celestial Empire can fight, only the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, and the Eight Banners Army is no longer the Eight Banners when they just entered the customs, after so many years of sprinkling wealth, the Eight Banners Army can no longer fight, but these words, how can he say it to Xianfeng.

"Hmph." Xianfeng snorted heavily and didn't speak.

The two people kneeling on the ground saw that Emperor Xianfeng did not insist that Zeng Guofan be dismissed and investigated, and they knew that things had taken a turn for the better, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts and touched the cold sweat on their heads.

This dragon's face was furious, and it was really earth-shattering.

"Then according to your meaning, forget it like this, lose the battle, and die so many people, let me forget it like this?" Xianfeng was obviously looking for the bottom of the stairs.

Obviously, Xianfeng also realized that he was too impulsive just now, what the Iron Hat King said was the truth, but he was a dignified man, how could he not have a little majesty of the emperor, if he let go of a wrong courtier so easily, then what would he do as the emperor in the future, who would still take him in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister means that Zeng Guofan will be demoted by three levels and fined for one year, but he will still command the Hunan army, if he can't get rid of the Taiping thieves in the end, then it's not too late to ask for the guilt." Prince Gong said.

"Isn't that a little too light?" Xianfeng always felt that he still couldn't get over his face.

"Then the emperor issued another special decree, reprimanding him for the loss of his troops and soldiers, and warning him to take this as a lesson and not to commit it again." Prince Gong said again.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Emperor Xianfeng sighed and said.

"The emperor is wise." Two people.

"Alright, alright, less sycophancy, get up." Emperor Xianfeng said this.

The legs of the two kneeling were numb, and they were relieved to hear Xianfeng let them get up.

"Your Majesty, who will you hand over this matter to?" Prince Gong asked again.

"Then you should go for a trip, since you came up with this idea, you must know the priorities of it, and you will be able to express my meaning completely.

What do you think?" Although Emperor Xianfeng was discussing with Prince Gong, there was no intention of discussion in his tone, and he had made it clear that Prince Gong would go.

Although Prince Gong said that he was very reluctant in his heart, the emperor had already spoken, even if he was reluctant, he had to go.

"Yes, Lordship." Prince Gong knelt down and said.

"Alright, get up." Xianfeng Road.

"Your Majesty." Prince Gong said.

"Is there anything else you guys are up to? If not, step aside." Xianfeng Road.

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter, the ministers want to discuss it with you." The Iron Hat King looked at Prince Gong and said.

"What's the matter?" Ham Fung Road.

"About the establishment of the reserve." The Iron Hat King said cautiously.

"The matter of the establishment of the reserve? It's still early, Brother is still young, don't worry." Emperor Xianfeng hasn't thought about this yet.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a prince is a major matter related to the country, how can the saint not be in a hurry." Iron hat king.

"Iron Hat King, what's going on with you today, why can't you get along with me, what does Lichu have to do with you, that's my family matter, family matter, do you understand? I haven't thought about it yet, I have to think about it." Xianfeng was angry.

Seeing that Xianfeng was angry, the Iron Hat King knelt on the ground again, and asked Xianfeng to forgive his sins.

"Alright, alright, that's it for today, you guys can retreat if you're okay." Xianfeng is the second time he has issued an expulsion order today, and he has to rush to his beloved concubine, Cixi.

"Yes, Bixia, the ministers are leaving." The gray monk who touched his nose and retreated with Prince Gong. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
