Chapter 207: The Emperor's Envoy
After receiving this special task, Gong Changyu couldn't be happy, and his heart was half cold: "Niangniang, is no one else willing to go?" β
"The generals of the Praetorian Guard are all from Hubu Shangshu Su Shun, and if they go, they will only cause chaos, can the palace let them go?" Lala said.
"Niangniang, the last general has left the Dune Palace, who will ensure your personal safety?" Gong Changyu asked.
"Su Shun won't move the palace for the time being." Lala flicked a small bee on his fingertips.
"Okay." Gong Changyu hugged his fists and said, "The minister must do his best to handle this matter." β
"Go and go back quickly, this palace is waiting for you to return in this heart-warming hall." Lala waved the fleur-de-lis silk in his hand.
"Mother, take care." After Gong Changyu finished speaking, he walked out of the Warm Heart Hall without looking back......
Because of the strong recommendation of the Lala clan, Gong Changyu, who was already a cloud cavalry captain, had another layer of identity - the emperor's envoy, who took Wei Chaohui, Zhu Rongchu and others from the Dune Palace to the outskirts of Kyoto to collect the bones of Concubine Chang Niangniang, who had been in Qichun Garden for several days.
Non-stop, all the way to the wild. On the way to Kyoto, the envoy and his entourage met many Qinghe troops who had been defeated from the battlefield.
The remnants of the defeated army will enter the village to loot grain, grass, jewelry and other property, and rob the people's daughters, which is no different from bandits. Because of the emperor's order, many times he raised the Dragon Lock Divine Sword to kill the leader of the regular army who was robbing, but he didn't have time to stop the crazy actions of these guerrillas, after all, he was weak.
Three days later, Gong Changyu and his entourage arrived in the western suburbs of Kyoto. At this time, the Eagle and French coalition forces were harassing the forbidden garden and were burning and looting, and the situation was extremely tense and unable to break through their military cordon.
Gong Changyu wanted to bring the colored coffin into the garden, but he couldn't do it, so he had to hurriedly play Emperor Xiantong and postpone the processing. Poor Concubine Chang's corpse, in the middle of summer, but in the corpse garden, can not be buried, the face of the Fei Luo family is lost.
August 28th, night. Kyoto, the palace of the Prince of Kyoto.
The Beijing bureaucracy, headed by the devil Rokuyixin, was busy, and they were engaged in meaningless negotiations on the draft Kyoto Treaty.
The Fanjun mission put forward dozens of articles, each of which was interpreted word by word many times, but no progress was made. Only the Prince of Sangha objected to the exorbitant price of the Occinians, insisting that he could not agree to all the conditions of the Occinians.
And the rest of the people are all good gentlemen, many people don't have a fart, and the fart is not painful, not on the thighs. After discussing it for most of the night, but there was no result, the prince asked everyone to go back......
Following. Lobby of the Ministry of Rites. Gong Changyu and his entourage, as the emperor's special envoy, attended the "peace talks" as observers.
The Eagle Strike Li envoy Wei Tuoma led the delegation to negotiate peace, and the merry and talented Gong Banlun was also present, only to see him wearing a white suit, a bow tie, a gentleman's hat, and a fluent Eagle Strike Li language.
Gong Banlun saw that the officials of Qingheguo were very unhappy and disrespectful at all, and while smiling evilly, he helped Wei Tuoma come up with ideas and made it difficult for Yixin, the negotiator of Qingheguo, and his party.
At this time, Prince Yixin couldn't see it, and scolded Gong Banlun angrily and said: Your Gong family has enjoyed the gifts of the country for generations, and led the coalition army to loot and burn the Old Summer Palace, and now you are a traitor here again, acting for the tiger.
Gong Banlun did not back down, and scolded back and said: My father is not allowed to enter Hanlin, I am so poor that I rely on foreigners to make a living, and the court is in my Gong family, how can I have it? ! The Lilac Pawn case Lao Tzu will not mention it here......
Lao Tzu was just visiting Kyoto, and occasionally met Mr. Wei Tuma, the negotiator of the Eagle Strike Li people. The Old Summer Palace is not the road led by Lao Tzu, there are other people. The coalition army found the Old Summer Palace under the leadership of some homeless people who are familiar with the geographical location in Kyoto, you don't have to be emotional, look for scapegoats at will, and make me a famous backstabber!
It was you, the nobles of the court, who led to the defeat of the war, and it was your incompetence that allowed the Qinghe Kingdom to be defeated again and again. It is because of your incompetence that the officials are corrupt and the people live in hardship, and the incompetent you occupy the position of high-ranking officials, so that the middle and lower classes have no way to rise, and the talented people have nowhere to play.
I am a good citizen, and you have forced me to have no way out. You say I'm a traitor, I think you're a traitor, I think you're a traitor, I think you're a traitor! You're a devil!
"You don't know what is right or wrong...... Speak for Fanjun...... Ignoring the general interests of the nation...... What is not a national thief? "Yi Xin, who was scared enough, was incoherent.
Gong Banlun stepped on the negotiation table with one foot: "I'll go, you have the ability and backbone, don't sit here to negotiate, go back and bring an army, and fight with Valisi and them again." If you win, Lao Tzu will be your translator, and you don't want a penny of silver, do you dare? β
"There has never been a shortage of traitors in my country, there have been before, and there will definitely be in the future. But remember, don't forget that you are Chinese. All traitors have only one end, and that is to leave a stench for 10,000 years! Yi Xin sneered.
"Who is a traitor and who is a traitor, there is a historical conclusion, and there are descendants to comment! It's not up to you devil six to have the final say. If you don't want to sign and stamp, pull it down. There are nearly 200,000 regular imperial troops behind you, so weigh yourself whether you fight or not. Gong Banlun sneered, "My personal reputation is not important, Qinghe Kingdom is a broken boat, and I can't go far." Lao Tzu will send you another word, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! β
Yixi was speechless and dumbfounded. In the next negotiations, the devil Liuyi Xin begged for peace, disregarded the national righteousness and national interests, and agreed to all the conditions put forward by the Ouxi people without hesitation, just waiting for the army to come to exchange the text of the "Tianjin Treaty" signed earlier.
After the peace talks, the devil Liu Yixin invited Gong Changyu and his party to go to the Gongwang Mansion. Gong Changyu refused, he looked down on this royal prince from the bottom of his heart, he was servile, he had no backbone at all, and he didn't have a relationship.
No one thought that in the next nearly 30 years, the Qing Peace State signed a humiliating "peace treaty" with the Europeans and the small Fusang countries in the east, all of which were the devil Liu Yixin as the plenipotentiary representative.
When Gong Changyu and the others returned to their residences, Emperor Xiantong's dictation arrived, instructing them that they should not be allowed to engage in extravagance and cause other changes.
Hey, exercising rights in his own land, he has to worry about the Ouxi people coming out to make trouble, and this Xiantong Emperor can be regarded as being afraid of the Ouxi people to the extreme.
Gong Changyu took a few black handsome people to the Qichun Garden, killed a few soldiers, found the highly decomposed and smelly body of Concubine Chang Niangniang, wrapped Concubine Chang Niangniang in seven or eight layers of shrouds, and then put it into a pair of Hanzi (simple coffins), and carried it out of Qichun Garden alone.
Out of Qichun Garden, Gong Changyu scolded, this army is simply inferior to beasts, and what do you say that this invasion war is an expedition of civilized people to barbarians, I think this yellow-haired devil is a barbarian!
"General, should we go to the coalition command post and get rid of the bandit leader?" Hei Dashuai took it and Han Zi carried it.
"The coalition army is almost 20,000 people, and if we can't get in, let's not make trouble for the emperor. Even if we had the opportunity to kill the commander of the army, it would be useless, the imperial court lost the courage and determination to resist, the lord and faction had the upper hand, and the overall situation of bending the knee to sue for peace was decided. What can I do? Gong Changyu responded.
"Then do you want to make a big deal about Concubine Chang's funeral?" Hei Dashuai asked.
"The emperor has an edict to be frugal and low-key, where does this general dare to be extravagant? The officials from the Ministry of Industry don't need to tell them......" Gong Changyu shook his head.
"Well, the national disaster is at the head, that's all." Hei Dashuai nodded.
So, Gong Changyu only covered the colored coffin with a big red python satin, hurriedly entered the funeral, hired dozens of migrant workers, and did not set up a guard of honor, with 32 people clamping the bar, taking advantage of the confused night, carried to the temporary place of Tiancun, and hastily buried it.
When the last shovel of soil fell, Gong Changyu took a long breath and said: "I'm waiting for Concubine Chang's funeral, sneaky, like a thief, aggrieved, aggrieved." Concubine Chang is also the emperor's stepmother, and the emperor can't come to handle the funeral in person, how bleak is this......"
After finishing Concubine Chang's funeral, Gong Changyu was very worried about the situation in the palace, so he traveled day and night and returned to the Dune Palace.
"Oh no, the mother is in danger." Gong Changyu shouted, "Black Dashuai, follow me." β
"General, we've just come back, and we're leaving again, do you want to tire me to death?" The black handsome pouted.
"If you don't go, pull it down." Gong Changyu rode a horse outside the palace alone. Along the way, the sky was gray, and on the way, he bumped into Lala, who was riding back from horseback, followed by a few soldiers and eunuchs.
Gong Changyu grabbed the reins and panted and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing when you run out recklessly?" If there is an Assassin ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a group of masked men appeared in the grass on the side of the road, all holding bows and arrows, and shot at Lara.
"Niangniang, be carefulβ" Gong Changyu jumped up from the horse's back and landed on Lala's horse, and the two rolled to the ground.
In order to protect the Lala clan, Gong Changyu held the Lock Dragon Divine Sword in his hand, and wherever the sword went, the screams continued, struggling to kill all the assassins, and he was also hit by several arrows, staggering, piercing the sword into the ground, supporting his body.
At the time of the crisis, the black marshal arrived with a large number of men, and the assassins were so frightened that they fled without a trace.
After Hei Dashuai pulled out the arrow on Gong Changyu's body, blood gushed out, and in just a moment, blood flowed all over the ground.
The situation is critical, seeing that Gong Changyu is almost dying, Lala tearfully issued an urgent order - kill the mount of the palace and save people!
"Yes, mother." The soldiers answered.
So, the soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion immediately took action, killed the horse, and then cut open the horse's belly, took out the internal organs, and then put the seriously injured Gong Changyu into the horse's belly, and then closed it.
The soldiers were anxiously waiting, hoping for a miracle to happen.
