Chapter 368: What is Xianfeng doing?
In a short period of time, the battle between Xianfeng and Cixi did not stop, but two people came to the imperial study at this time, and they asked to see Xianfeng, who knew that the steward and eunuch told them that Xianfeng was not there, and when the two of them heard it, they were immediately anxious like ants on a hot pot.
However, what's the use of being anxious, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are even less likely to be in a hurry, so although they are in a hurry, they can only wait.
The two waited for almost two hours, but they never saw Xianfeng, the eunuch, they also asked countless times, but the answer they got was only one sentence from beginning to end, the emperor went to Concubine Xi, and he should not come back for a while, so the eunuch suggested that the two masters go back first and come back later.
The two of them were already burning their eyebrows, and they wished they could see Xianfeng at once, how could they leave so easily, so they could only wait patiently.
It's this Cixi again, what a goblin who causes trouble! The two who were waiting whispered in their hearts.
"Old monk, when is it, the emperor is still obsessed with women, it's really unbelievable." One of them grumbled, and his words did not mean annoyance.
Old monk? It seems that these two must be Prince Gong and Monk Greenqin.
The reason why Prince Gong said this was that he was angry that Cixi, the demon, seduced the emperor, and caused the emperor to ignore political affairs, only knowing that he wasted time on beauty, and he was angry that the emperor couldn't tell the situation, when was it, and ignored a mess of important things, but wasted this precious time on a woman's belly, which was really not done by Mingjun.
Prince Gong's mood is extremely complicated.
"Lao Gong, look at you, here you are again, aren't you usually very calm? Why can't you bear it now, no matter what happens to the emperor, he is still the emperor, you can talk about it in front of me, forget it, the emperor will come, you have to endure it as much as possible, the emperor is the emperor after all, we can't help but give him face, besides, the emperor's anger may not have disappeared from the last time." Monk Grinqin is bitterly persuasive.
He really doesn't want any more demon moths between these two monarchs and ministers, after all, this time is different from the past, the Qing Dynasty is in danger, if the monarchs and ministers are not in harmony again, then the Qing Dynasty will really be over.
Prince Gong took a deep breath to calm down his excitement before saying, "Old monk, my kindness, I will pay attention to it."
"That's good, remember that no matter what the emperor says, don't refute it to your face, let's figure it out later." Monk Grinqin had to admonish again.
He was really worried that Prince Gong wouldn't be able to control his mouth again.
"Zhilu Dao, you are about to become my mother." Prince Gong said a little impatiently.
Yes, there is a mouth resting on you all day long, even if he is kind, this person will be annoyed, so Prince Gong's mood will be understood by anyone.
"For your good, say a few more words to you, you are still annoyed, it is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know well-wishers, forget it, forget it, I will say it all here, what to do, you can do it yourself." Anyway, what should be said, Seng Lingqin has already finished speaking, he can only do this step, as for what to do later, Prince Gong has to make his own decision.
"Old monk, I don't mean anything else." Prince Gong saw that Monk Greenqin's face seemed to have changed a little, and he knew in his heart that his mouth must be a little faster, which made Monk Greenqin a little unhappy, and he regretted it a little, so he hurriedly explained.
Seeing Prince Gong's statement, Monk Greenqin also waved his hand, meaning that he didn't take his attitude just now seriously, so as to show his own magnanimity.
After that, neither of them had any extra words, and just quietly waited for Xianfeng to finish his business.
After waiting for almost two more hours, the two of them were really a little impatient, and then they heard the old eunuch who had been following Xianfeng shouting outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!"
As soon as the two heard that the emperor was coming, their spirits were long, and they immediately knelt on the ground without thinking about it, and as soon as Xianfeng stepped into the imperial study, the two of them had already bowed to the ground and said: "Minister, Yixin, minister, monk Greenqin, see the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!"
Xianfeng glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground, and didn't let the two of them flatten, went straight to the back of the imperial case and sat down, and then exhaled comfortably, and then said: "I heard that you have been waiting for a long time, what is the matter, so urgent?"
"Emperor Qi, the night before yesterday, the two flanks of the outer flanks of the Beijing division had been broken by the anti-thieves, and last night, the other three defense lines guarded by heavy troops have also lost two, and now only the last defense line is still supported, if this third line of defense is also lost, then the Beijing division will become a veritable empty city, and the trouble will be big." Monk Lingqin gave a rough explanation of the battle situation in the past few days to Xianfeng.
It's okay that Seng Lingqin didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Xianfeng was angry again, and the fire that he had just been quelled by Cixi was ignited again.
"Monk Greenqin, you still have the face to say, this is not all your bad idea, if it weren't for you, would such a thing happen? And when something like this happens, you don't review it yourself, but you shamelessly come to me and say, do you think this matter has nothing to do with you, do you?" Monk Grinqin almost roared.
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, the minister is guilty of death, the minister is guilty of death." Monk Green couldn't stop slamming his head and confessed.
Monk Lingqin didn't want to shirk the responsibility for this defeat, he just wanted to report the relevant situation to Xianfeng, and then give him advice on the next countermeasures, but he didn't expect it. When Xianfeng first met, he scolded him regardless of the indiscriminate pain, and did not give him any chance to explain, there was no way, he could only accept his fate, who made Xianfeng the emperor.
"Hmph, useless things, none of you can help me share my worries, what use does the Qing Dynasty want you to do?" Xianfeng even scolded Prince Gong together.
The more he scolds, the more he scolds, the more he is angry, he still wants to scold, and the more he scolds, the more he wants to scold.
Prince Gong and Seng Greenqin were submissive under Xianfeng's anger, and they all pleaded guiltily, and did not dare to have half a word of rebuttal, they knew that the emperor's fire was nowhere to go, and they just hit the muzzle of the gun, so they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Such a stinking scolding penetrated about half a pillar of incense, Xianfeng stopped scolding, scolding didn't scold enough, Monk Greenqin and Prince Gong didn't know what to do, but they could confirm that Xianfeng was a little tired of scolding.
"Alright, get up, I haven't died yet." After a break, a not-so-nice sentence popped out of Xianfeng's mouth, but today's scolding finally came to an end.
"Your Majesty." The two thanked the lord Longen, and then stepped aside in a playful manner.
Thank you for scolding. This is the real minion.
"Tell me, are you here today for anything other than mourning?" In the short term, if you want to make Xianfeng's mood better, I'm afraid it won't be a simple matter, and you can hear between the lines that his mood is still bad.
Monk Greenqin and Prince Gong glanced at each other, and it was Monk Greenqin who spoke: "The ministers and the others are here today to persuade the emperor to move to Shengjing."
The two of them are not optimistic about the current situation, it can be said that they are very pessimistic, although they are very unwilling, but they also have to admit that with this little force in their hands, if they want to hold the Beijing Division, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, and the most important thing is that the morale of the entire Qing army has fallen to the bottom, what to do to confront the Taiping army.
The defeat is like a mountain!
This is the current situation they are facing, the situation is like this, they have to think of the way back, of course, the most important thing is that their ideas must be supported by Xianfeng, only Xianfeng nodded and agreed, they can do things.
"Move to Shengjing? You're kidding, aren't you?" Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with this proposal of the two.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, for the sake of the future of the Qing Dynasty, please ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible." Prince Gong admonished him.
"Fart, if you want me to move to Shengjing, dream about it." Xianfeng's words are equivalent to completely killing this suggestion of Prince Gong and Monk Greenqin.
"Your Majesty, this....this..."Prince Gong didn't expect Xianfeng to flatly refuse, and he had no countermeasures for a while.
"To tell you the truth, I won't leave, and you won't be allowed to leave, all the people of the Qing Dynasty will stay for me, I don't believe it, this thief will have three heads and six arms, will they eat me, you listen to me, in the future, in front of me, you are not allowed to say anything about moving the car, otherwise, you will be punished." Xianfeng's tone was stern and authentic.
When Seng Lingqin and Prince Gong heard this, they looked at each other, wondering why Xianfeng's attitude would become so resolute.
Prince Gong still wanted to persuade again, but who knows, Monk Greenqin shook his head, Prince Gong saw Monk Greenqin like this, and swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Since the emperor has said it, Monk Greenqin can only ask him for advice.
Although Monk Greenqin saw that Xianfeng was confident, he couldn't help but still have doubts in his heart.
"Then you don't have to worry about it, besides, you don't have to worry about coming, you just need to give me a good command of the defenders of the capital, so that they don't make any trouble, I will thank God, I will deal with the rest of the matter." Xianfeng's words are so certain, I don't know why he can be so sure.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, which is equivalent to a holy decree, what else do they say, just do it according to the decree.
However, Xianfeng's unfathomability still made the two suspicious, they didn't know what kind of fame their master was doing, mysterious and secretive, but if the emperor didn't say it, they couldn't ask hard, because, no matter what he said, Xianfeng was the emperor.
"Alright, I'm tired, go down." Xianfeng has indeed done too many things today, and it is normal to be tired.
"But, Your Majesty, the thieves are about to come to the city." Prince Gong still couldn't help but remind.
"Prince Gong, I'm not old yet, I don't need you to remind me." Xianfeng glanced at Prince Gong obliquely, and said a little displeased.
"Yes." What else can Prince Gong say, he can only honestly respond.
"Alright, get out." Xianfeng waved his hand and blasted the two of them away like a fly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers are retiring." Although the two of them are helpless, they can only be helpless, it is still the same sentence, who made Xianfeng the emperor, the emperor has spoken, can they not listen, they can only listen.
Under Xianfeng's impatient gaze, the two left Xianfeng's imperial study with a heavy heart, they were very disappointed, they were simply disappointed, and similarly, they were very melancholy, worried about the Qing Dynasty.
Xianfeng looked at the distant backs of the two, muttered, waste, and then stopped talking and began to close his eyes and recuperate. (To be continued......)
