Chapter 276: The Emperor's Edict

Within a few days, Xianfeng's edict arrived, as expected by Prince Gong and others, Xianfeng really appointed Monk Greenqin to re-serve as the front-line commander, in addition to appointing Monk Greenqin back as the commander, Xianfeng also rewarded Monk Greenqin from the material, spiritual, satisfied Monk Greenqin's vanity, in order to commend him for his fearless spirit in the fight against the thief, Zuihou also called on the whole army to learn from him, Xianfeng is really honored with Monk Greenqin.

Being treated so well by Xianfeng, Monk Greenqin was very happy in his heart, and he swore that he would repay him with death.

Although the edict focused on the matter of Monk Greenqin, but did not forget Li Hongzhang, Xianfeng specifically mentioned in the edict that Li Hongzhang as the deputy marshal, assisting the coach Monk Greenqin, and pointed out that when Zeng Greenqin was sick, asked for leave or could not perform his duties for other reasons, Li Hongzhang needed to act as the boss, which means that Monk Greenqin was the boss, and Li Hongzhang was the second who was honest and obedient, and when Monk Greenqin was not there, then Li Hongzhang was the boss.

Xianfeng's edict can be regarded as painstaking, not only to appoint his own cronies and monks Greenqin, but also to take care of Li Hongzhang's emotions, and strive to be comprehensive and happy.

In fact, after receiving such an appointment, Seng Lingqin and Li Hongzhang were indeed very satisfied, and this edict was exactly what they wanted.

After the announcement of this edict, Xianfeng also had a special edict for the monk Greenqin, Prince Gong, and Li Hongzhang, the content of which was related to the affairs of Zeng Guofan, and strictly ordered Prince Gong to lead the matter, and Monk Greenqin and Li Hongzhang co-organized.

There is only one central idea of the will, that is, Zeng Guofan's treason and defection to the enemy must be dealt with strictly, and the entire military camp must be carried out in parallel to serve the police, and as for what to do, it will be implemented after consultation with the three of them.

When the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs read out the edict, the three people present immediately reacted differently.

Monk Greenqin was calm on the surface, but he was actually snickering in his heart, he was glad that Xianfeng had finally adopted his suggestion.

Prince Gong was stunned, obviously not understanding that Weishenme Xianfeng would issue such an edict.

Li Hongzhang's complexion was blue for a while and white for a while, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but it was certain that his heart must have fluctuated greatly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take the order." The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in the usual tone.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Monk Greenqin Road.

"The Minister's Order." Prince Gong hesitated for a moment, zuihou still said.

"My lord, please play the emperor, Zeng Dashuai has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, this heart can be expressed every day, the minister does not understand why the emperor will make such a will, but the minister believes that Zeng Dashuai must be resented." Li Hongzhang is the first to say.

His voice sounded slightly agitated, and it seemed that he was in a mood.

"Presumptuous, you want to disobey the order." Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs scolded.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, don't get me wrong, Vice Marshal Li didn't mean that, he was just confused for a while, he didn't make his words clear, this king will teach him a lesson afterwards, and ask Lord Wang to forgive this." Although Monk Greenqin didn't know that Li Hongzhang Weishenme would be so abnormal, he couldn't watch Li Hongzhang be charged with disobedience, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Hmph, Vice Marshal Li, for the sake of the monk's face, what you said today, the official power should not have heard it, and please be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." The Lord Wang of the Internal Affairs Mansion snorted coldly and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, then xiexie you, this is a small meaning, not a tribute." Monk Lingqin smiled and stuffed a few silver tickets into Lord Wang's hand.

That Lord Wang is insistent on not accepting, but he can't stand the enthusiasm of the monk Greenqin, Zuihou is reluctant to accept, in fact, it's not that he doesn't want to accept it, but he wants to be a bitch, and he wants to set up a memorial arch

After respectfully sending the king of the Internal Affairs Office away, the monk Gelinqin began to blame Li Hongzhang.

"Shaoquan, you were really scared to death by this king just now, what's the matter with you, do you know how big a crime it is to resist and disobey, that is to destroy the nine clans, why are you so impulsive?" Monk Greenqin snorted louder.

After the monk Lingqin roared, Li Hongzhang was silent for a long time, and then said: "Lord, you come to comment, my handsome family dedicated everything for the Qing Dynasty, and even the juice was blown up, but Zuihou was ruthlessly abandoned, what does this make his subordinates think, if I let me say, this is called, the cunning rabbit is not dead but is eager to cook the dog, and the bird is not exhausted but wants to break the bow, what is the reason, you say, if the court does this, isn't it cold to the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Hunan soldiers?" How can the soldiers serve the court again, and how can they not feel a sense of sadness from their hearts?"

Li Hongzhang was very excited.

"Yes, this thing is too sudden, what is the emperor doing this, what is it for, it is hard to believe that Zeng Guofan is a thief." Prince Gong was also a little skeptical.

"Gong Lao'er, Shaoquan is just that, Zeng Guofan is his mentor, he said this, this king can understand, but you are different, you are a royal family, how can you say such disrespectful words, please pay attention to your words." Monk Grinqin blamed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, old monk, what this king said just now was a bit excessive, but have you ever thought about this possibility?" Prince Gong is still a little unconvinced.

"Why is there no such possibility, this king can testify, these are all what this king has heard and seen with his own ears, and there will be absolutely no falsehood." Monk Grinqin is definitely authentic.

"You are talking nonsense, how is this possible, my teacher, I know, his old man is dedicated to the country, full of blood and loyalty, even if he dies, it is impossible for his old man to make such a surrender, impossible, absolutely impossible, I don't believe it." Li Hongzhang shouted.

"Shaoquan, you calm down first, you believe in your teacher, that's right, but don't we believe the old monk's words, he said that he saw it with his own eyes, so why don't we ask him to tell the situation at that time, and then we analyze and analyze it to see if there is any misunderstanding in this?" Prince Gong was calm, and he proposed.

Li Hongzhang was silent.

"Old monk, just tell me about the situation at that time." Prince Gong is authentic without any emotion.

So, Monk Greenqin repeated what he said to Xianfeng on the fold, of course, these were all made up by himself, and they had nothing to do with Zeng Guofan.

If Zeng Guofan was also here, listening to Monk Greenqin's words, I don't know how he would feel, I think that at the beginning, when Huang Xu said that he wanted to teach Monk Greenqin a lesson, he pleaded for Monk Greenqin regardless of his previous suspicions, and Monk Greenqin spared no effort to frame him behind his back at this time, the comparison between the two can only show one problem, that is, the problem of character.

"Shaoquan, Gong Lao'er, what this king said is the truth, so this king readily accepts the emperor's will." Monk Greenqin is righteous and stern.

It's a shame that he still has the face to say such a thing, this person, if his skin is thick enough and his heart is dark enough, then what can't he do?

"Shaoquan, listening to what the old monk said, it seems to be true, you think about it calmly first, everything is based on the overall situation." It seems that Prince Gong believed the words of Seng Lingqin.

"No, I don't believe it, I won't believe it unless I hear it say it with my own ears." Li Hongzhang is stubborn.

"But the decree has been made, this is a fact, we can't change it, even if you have doubts, you can only wait for the future to comment, we can only do what we want at the moment." Prince Gong said helplessly.

"That's your business, I don't care, but I'm definitely not going to do anything to be sorry for the teacher." Li Hongzhang didn't say anything to his teacher.

"You want to resist?" Monk Lingqin's tone also began to become stern, he would not allow such a thing to happen in his jurisdiction, even though Li Hongzhang was the person he had to rely on.

"No, I didn't say it, I just said that I won't be involved in carrying out the decree among you, but I won't do you any harm." Li Hongzhang said coldly.

"You—" Monk Grinqin was annoyed.

"Old monk, forget it, he can do this, it's already good to stay neutral, don't force him too much, Shaoquan's character, you don't know, let him go" Prince Gong persuaded.

"Hmph." Monk Greenqin snorted coldly, looking extremely displeased.

"Shaoquan, there's nothing for you here, you go down first, remember, think twice before you act." Prince Gong admonished.

It seems that Prince Gong can do this step, and it seems that he has done his best.

Li Hongzhang bowed slightly and retreated angrily.

Only the two people left in the house, Monk Lingqin and Prince Gong.

"Old monk, now there are only two of you and me, you are honest, did you say anything in front of the emperor, otherwise, with the emperor's temper, he would not have taken the liberty of making such a will." After Prince Gong finished speaking, his eyes stared at Monk Lingqin without blinking.

It turned out that he had long suspected that Monk Lingqin had sued Zeng Guofan, otherwise, the emperor would not have made such a decision so soon.

"Gong Lao'er, what do you mean, is this king like that, and is it necessary for this king to do that? That is not good for this king, and besides, if it causes a backlash from the Hunan army, it will be a big trouble, will this king be willing to see this happen? This king can tell you with certainty that this king is unwilling, so you can rest assured that this king has not said anything to the emperor, but how the emperor knows, this king really does not know." Monk Grinqin tried his best to exonerate himself.

"That's too, you can think of this, that's enough to prove that this is not what you said, but how did the emperor know?" Prince Gong has one head and two big.

In fact, Prince Gong didn't really sympathize with Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, what he was most afraid of was that after disposing of Zeng Guofan, it would lead to a backlash from the Hunan army, if something went wrong with the Hunan army, then the Qing Dynasty would be over, he really couldn't understand that his emperor, weishenme, would suddenly do such a stupid thing, he couldn't wait until the Hunan army was completely stabilized and the Taiping army was repulsed, and then he would do such a thing.

This emperor, too, is too anxious.

"How can the emperor know, who can figure it out, the emperor's mind, you and I had better not guess." Monk Greenqin Road.

"Alas, what this king is most worried about is the instability of the Hunan army." Prince Gong was worried.

"Don't worry, this king has been in the army for so long, and he knows a lot of things, and they are at most like Li Hongzhang to play with their temper, and they won't really do anything, they don't have the courage yet." Monk Grinqin comforted.

"I hope it's true as you say, then when are you going to write down the contents of the holy decree throughout the barracks?" Prince Gong said.

"The emperor has specified that you will take the lead, you will decide." Monk Greenqin Road.

"Well, since it can't be changed, sooner rather than later, tomorrow, I hope everything can be spent safely." Prince Gong is not as optimistic as Seng Greenqin.

"Don't worry." Monk Grinqin has been saying this sentence from beginning to end.
