20. Blessings and misfortunes (2)
Fan'er's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly supported Xingzhen, and asked anxiously: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xingzhen's eyes straight and seemed to be demented, he couldn't help but take advantage of the gap he was holding on, and pinched Xingzhen fiercely, Xingzhen was in pain, "ouch", but there was a glow in his eyes, and he came back to his senses and saw the emperor looking at himself expressionlessly, faintly showing signs of a storm, and quickly settled down, and read the excerpts of the newly appointed governor of Anhui Li Jiaduan at a glance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Chen Li Jia played the game, since the enemy passed Anqing, down the east of the river, Lianke along the river and other places...... Huining Chi Taiguang Daotai Hui Zheng patrols the six subordinates of the south of the Yangtze River, and all local affairs are duty-bound, why is it that the province is ravaged by thieves, and the province is ignored? Even if the salary is protected from the east, and the north and south of the river for a month are not incomprehensible, but there is no paper letter so far, it can be summarized that it is a place to refuge...... Except for the separate investigation by the minister, all the Qihu Daoists are in short supply, and the corresponding request is given to the brief release to re-perform their duties. ”
In the recital, it was actually written that his father Hui Zheng and the new governor Li Jiaduan had lost contact, implying that they had fled to other provinces because they were already afraid of the enemy!
Xingzhen's heart was in turmoil, pinching the bright yellow fold hard, and kneeling on the ground, how can this be good? I had already written a letter to remind my father that if something went wrong, it would be good to escort the treasury and evacuate the crowd with food and grass, how could he escape and lose contact, so that he was suspected of fleeing to other provinces!
Once it is determined that the father has escaped from the battle, in addition to the strict punishment, he may also have to raid the house. If it came to this point, then my grandfather would be miserable, and it would be a catastrophe to suffer such a blow in his old age. Xingzhen also thought of her mother, sister, and younger brother in such a miserable situation at that time. Then I thought of myself, in addition to not being able to raise my head among the lords, I am afraid that the emperor will demote himself when he is angry.
Sure?
No, it's not decided yet!
It only says "can be seen"! And didn't say sure!
Xingzhen's heart relaxed a little, lowered her head and thought for a while, organized her words, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, Li Jiaduan's twist and turn, except for the only fact that the concubine's father is not in the territory of Huining Chi Taiguang Dao, there is no evidence that the concubine's father is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and fled to other provinces!" What is needed for this plan is to empty the treasury and evacuate the people! But this Governor Li only has a 'generalizable view', please don't be angry, and ask the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Anhui to investigate carefully, if the concubine's father is indeed guilty of dereliction of duty by ignoring the money and food of the army and the people, and fleeing without permission, the concubine does not dare to intercede for her father, and will definitely ask the emperor to deal with it according to the law, so as to set an example and correct our country's law! ”
Emperor Xianfeng's stiff face finally softened, although he was angry that this Hui Zheng was not accepted, but this Lan Concubine was indeed sensible, and said to her father the righteous words of "setting an example and upholding the law of our country", which shows that she is indeed without partiality. The emperor waved his hand, "Concubine Lan, get up, what you said is also right, I am not in a hurry to deal with your father, Yang Qingxi, ask the military aircraft to call the people of Liangjiang to check according to Concubine Lan's wishes, and the location of this platform is not in a hurry to change to others." ”
Yang Qingxi bowed down and retreated, Xingzhen didn't get up yet, knelt on the ground, and said something else: "Your Majesty, the concubine has asked to resign from the post of assistant director of the Sixth Palace." ”
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Although the whereabouts of the concubine's father are unknown now, but after all, there is no doubt about it, if the concubine still assists in this **, it will inevitably provoke more right and wrong, and the gossip of the palace people will spread more."
"Okay," Emperor Xianfeng stood up, ready to walk out, "Then let's ask the imperial concubine to take care of it first, the horizontal and vertical New Year Festival has passed, there is no major event, just bother the imperial concubine, you can rest for a few days first." ”
"Yes, congratulations to the emperor." Xingzhen saluted, Fan'er pulled Xingzhen up hard, Xingzhen found that her legs were numb, limped to the room, crooked on the kang, leaning on the royal blue Sichuan brocade's Suihan Sanyou cushion silently, Fan'er looked at Xingzhen worriedly, and silently pressed Xingzhen's legs to push the palace.
Father, father, don't let me down!
Anhui, Luzhou City.
The Taiping army at the bottom finally retreated like a tide, and Li Hongzhang, who was standing at the head of the city in rags and covered with soot, breathed a sigh of relief, this traitor, in order to benefit the boss to bring hundreds of thousands of silver to besiege Luzhou City for half a month, seeing that he could not capture the first important town by the Huaishui, he finally had to retreat and leave.
Li Hongzhang's companion handed Li Hongzhang a kettle, Li Hongzhang, who has always paid attention to the demeanor of the children of the family, didn't care about any image at this time, took the kettle, and was ready to drink it in one gulp, before he could say anything, the box came out of the Luzhou prefect Sipin Huangtang Wang Jinzhi, the fat body seemed to roll on the city wall, walked to Li Hongzhang's side, arched his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to Li Bianxiu's timely arrival and sitting in Luzhou, the traitor returned in vain. ”
Li Hongzhang hurriedly returned the salute, Luzhou Mansion is a four-grade Huangtang, and the grade is far above himself, "Lord Wang praised it falsely, this first merit is naturally Lord Huidaotai who issued a reward of five thousand taels, followed by Lord Wang's strategy, and finally it is the turn of the lower officials, and the first merit is really not to be a fool." ”
Wang Jinzhi laughed more and more happily when he heard Li Hongzhang being so knowledgeable, "Shaoquan (Li Hongzhang's words) is too modest, and your credit is naturally incomparable to anyone." But he didn't say anything about the first merit, Li Hongzhang said a few words modestly and changed the topic, "I don't know how Taida's injury is?" Woke up. ”
"Lord Hui has woken up, that day Hui Daotai supervised the battle on the city gate, opened the treasury silver box on the spot, and the five thousand taels of snowflake silver of the white flower were put out, the soldiers guarding the city were like seeing the yellow flower girl, red eyes panting and screaming, the traitor was unwilling, shot a burst of cold arrows up, shot the left rib of the Daotai lord, and then he was injured, but the Ji people have their own natural appearance, this is not Shaoquan just repelled the army of traitors, Hui Daotai has already woken up." Wang Jinzhi is not without envy in his heart, Hui Zheng's luck is too good, this Yehenala family is estimated to get up, not only to save half of the salary and silver in Anhui and Jiangxi, but also to help defend Luzhou City, the most important thing is to give birth to a daughter who is very angry, in the emperor's ** sealed Lan Concubine Niangniang, not only holds the power of the six palaces, but also helps Huguang those mediocre people burn the tens of thousands of rebels and thieves! The governor of Hubei was directly promoted to the governor of Huguang! Wang Jinxiu was named a baron, and he also got a hereditary enchanted lieutenant (Zheng Qipin), and the Wuchang prefect was even more prosperous, and he was ordered to act as the governor of Hubei, omitting the positions of the envoy and the political envoy, and went directly to the second grade! What a step to the top! The prefect of Wuchang is his own year, and he still doesn't know what he is like, but after that, when he meets this same year, he has to throw his horseshoe sleeves, kneel down and kowtow and shout: "Please say hello to Lord Futai"! It's really embarrassing to go home, Wang Jinzhi thought of this, his heart was hot, he had to have a good relationship with this lord of the country, take precautions, and he still wanted to climb up!
"Okay, let's go visit Lord Hui first, Lord Wang, in the future, the lower officials will hold a group practice in their hometown, but they will have to work too much for the adults?"
"It's easy to say, Shaoquan, please."
"Your Excellency, please!"
Wang Jinzhi had already vacated the inner courtyard of his palace, sprinkled it clean and let Hui Zheng and his party and 150,000 taels of Liangjiang silver move in, and he ordered his own soldiers to patrol outside the government every day, for fear that Hui Zheng and the silver would have any mistakes, but the military plane was just there, if the pillow wind of this Chuxiu Palace was blowing, I was afraid that I would not be able to eat and walk around.
