XVIII. Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (1)
"This, the concubines can't do it, they can only help the emperor in the inner palace, and there is a little bit left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Xingzhen lowered her head, it's not like I don't have a way to make money, but now I can't be regarded as in charge of the sixth palace, many people are waiting to see my jokes, and they will help me make money!" Any idea of making money will be discussed later.
"Hehe, my female Zhuge is also in trouble now? Or, according to what you mean, let Jiangxi and Anhui provinces try their best to consume and drag Hongyang rebels, and the people within 100 miles on both sides of the Yangtze River called the government to organize all the withdrawals, in order to avoid the army of traitors engulfing the population, it doesn't matter if it's small, but this heavy city must be defended! In addition, the government of Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang learned from the example of Huguang and organized the squires to run a good group exercise, not seeking to annihilate the enemy, but only to protect themselves from the township, and to protect the people's finances from being taken away by thieves. Emperor Xianfeng happily paced back and forth in the store, waving his hand again and again.
"Your Majesty, this is naturally foolproof." Xingzhen thought of someone again, "Concubine, there is a way to save, do you want to hear it, Your Majesty?" ā
"Say it." Emperor Xianfeng was also a little thirsty at this time, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, signaling Tang Wufu to hurry up.
"We have a lot of officials in Beijing, and the concubines thought to themselves, if there are officials in charge of group training in the south, this is a lot of expenses, I think, why don't the emperor be like Zeng Guofan, from the courtiers in the south, pick out those who are young and strong and willing to do things, and send them all back to their hometowns to engage in group training, defend the township, most of the officials in Beijing are poor Beijing officials, and now they can return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and they can take power in the group training, and they can also touch a few oil stars, isn't it more than one stone?"
"That's right, then I'll pick it up from the young officials in Anhui and Jiangxi first, and those who can train soldiers in the local area will also call the governors and governors to come up together," Emperor Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen with watery eyes, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "What?" Lan'er, do you have any candidates? ā
Xingzhen twisted her hands, looked embarrassed, and said the truth with a red face: "The concubine doesn't know the officials outside, but there is a wife of the Li Xiu family who gave the concubine's maiden family five hundred taels of silver outside, and the mother sent someone to tell the concubine about this, and the concubine hurriedly asked her mother to go back, which just happened, the emperor said that the officials with household registration in Jiangxi and Anhui went back to do group exercises, and the concubine remembered this person, he, it happened to be from Anhui, please forgive the concubine for the crime of talking about political affairs!" Xingzhen bowed down in fear, this person who is not at the top, I don't know how many times a day I have to kneel and worship, and my knees are a little painful.
Emperor Xianfeng didn't know what Xingzhen was muttering in his heart, so he helped Xingzhen up and laughed, "What kind of sin is this, innocent and innocent, Lan'er, you said that every time I come to this Chuxiu Palace, I come angrily every time, and I return proudly, this is not a big deal, after a few days, I will put his name on it, and let him do this thing, who told this little editor to cultivate our Lan'er's ability?" As soon as I asked him to ask you, he begged for it! Emperor Xianfeng patted Xingzhen's hand, and there was an indescribable color in his eyes of pity and appreciation, "Last time, relying on your strategy, I burned the army of 30,000 traitors, and I have already given the good news to the first emperor in the Fengxian Palace, so that the first emperor knows this good news, and knows that I am not a useless faint king, and the first emperor chose me to inherit the unification, there is nothing wrong!" Speaking of these somewhat taboo words, the palace people on the side lowered their heads more and more and did not dare to speak.
"Lan'er, as long as you give birth to a prince, I will appoint you as the queen of the Middle Palace!"
With a stabbing sound, Tang Wufu suddenly heard this, and the pallet in his hand suddenly seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and with a shudder, it fell on the blue brick that was like a mirror, making a violent sound.
The emperor frowned, and was about to send down Tang Wufu, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to beg for mercy, Xingzhen woke up from the dream of being the queen, swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly knelt down again, hiss~ Lao Tzu's knees were about to burst.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to ask for such blessings, and besides, it's a matter of the country, so it's better to ask the emperor not to talk about it." Xingzhen lowered her head and said these words, who doesn't want to immediately make an agreement with the emperor? But this man's words, I don't know, it's the weather in March, and he turns his face when he says it, and a fluttering promise can't be anything.
Emperor Xianfeng said this sentence after he came out, knowing that he was interested in opening the river, he hurriedly picked up Xingzhen and comforted: "Okay, you have me in your heart, I will definitely not let you down, Lan'er, you are busy, I will go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to approve the folds, and in addition, the theme of this south will be settled with the military aircraft, and I will come to see you again in the evening." ā
Xingzhen smiled playfully, "Emperor, you just said that you went to Liguiren in the evening," Emperor Xianfeng held his forehead with his hand and smiled dumbly, "Look at Shu's memory, then tomorrow Shu will come to you to eat again, you said that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet should be frugal means very well, ask the Internal Affairs Office to help you handle it well." Then I will go first, Lan'er, since you are afraid of the cold, don't stand on the ground anymore, it's good to crook on the kang if you have nothing to do. The tone was so gentle that it almost made Xingzhen indulge.
"Congratulations to the emperor." The mountains of people fell down.
Xingzhen knelt on the ground and thought about it in her heart, almost unable to help herself, the queen's throne was beckoning to her! As long as she becomes the queen, she will be the rightful ruler**, and the Internal Affairs Office, the Seven Divisions and the Three Courts can firmly grasp it in the palm of your hand and take precautions to deal with the great difficulties in the future!
Fan'er came over and pulled the sleeve of her eldest lady's clothes, Xingzhen came back to her senses in the fugue, quickly stood up, looked around the room of palace maids and eunuchs, and said, "No one is allowed to mention what you heard today!" If anyone goes out to chew their tongues, I don't bother to care, and I just go out of Chuxiu Palace! Hear no! ā
"Yes."
"Wufu, you should also be careful, the emperor is in a good mood today, and he didn't send you down, next time if the emperor is so careless when he hears bad news, if the emperor peels your skin, you know?"
Tang Wufu wiped his sweat while nodding his head, "Yes, yes, the lesson of the mother is that the slave will definitely be careful in the future." ā
"Okay, it's all gone, what should I do, I'll go back to my room and rest, and call me when lunch is ready."
Fan'er and Anqian followed Xingzhen back to the main hall, and when they arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, they saw Xingzhen crooked on the kang, and added a velvet quilt before going out.
Fan'er, who was guarding outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, couldn't fall asleep when she heard Lan Concubine tossing and turning inside, and muttered in a low voice: "Queen, hehe, queen......"
Fan'er listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but laugh, and the warm pavilion was quiet for a moment, and then threw out an octagonal pillow embroidered with the rich and noble pattern of Yutang.
"You little hoof! What's so funny! ā
Fan'er hurriedly escaped from the main hall with a smile on his hands and feet.
After a while, the noble people heard the words of Emperor Xianfeng in the Chuxiu Palace after they left at noon, and she was so shocked that she hurriedly pressed her chest and stood up from the throne in the main hall, but she felt that her chest was a little stuffy, stroked it a few times, and hurriedly asked: "What did the people outside say?" Say it! ā
Mei Xin hurriedly spoke: "The people up and down the Chuxiu Palace have a tongue, and they really can't ask anything, the little eunuch in front of the palace of Yangxin is standing outside the palace, and he heard a sentence in a trance, and then he can't hear anything clearly, but he just saw the emperor leave the Chuxiu Palace with a happy face." ā
"Nakanomiya? Empress! Li Guiren's face changed rapidly, and she sat down slowly, and Chun'er gave her a pastry, and waved her hand to take it down.
"The emperor actually moved his mind after the moment! It's still said in Chuxiu Palace! Li Guiren's heart was turbulent, and his thoughts were chaotic, "Is this a whim of the emperor, or has he been thinking about it for a long time?" ā
