20. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other (3)

The two of them went to Hui Zheng's bedroom together, Hui Zheng was leaning on the pillow, drinking medicine on the girl's hand, seeing the two coming, he waved his hand, let the girl retreat, gasped a few times, and then asked: "The two of you are here together, presumably the army of traitors has retreated!" ”

Li Hongzhang and Wang Jinzhi sat down in front of Hui Zheng's bed, Li Hongzhang looked at Hui Zheng's face, although it was still a little pale, but it also showed a stream of blood, Li Hongzhang then put his mind at ease, nodded and replied: "Thanks to the blessing of the old man, the traitors saw that Luzhou City was difficult to attack, and the military spirit was quite high, and they had already retreated from the difficulty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Hongzhang hugged his fists again, saluted to the north, and said without hesitation: "Fortunately, fortunately, the boss is fine, if the boss is a little missing, Xia Guan really doesn't know how to ask Concubine Lan for guilt." Wang Jinzhi looked at Li Hongzhang with some horror, this Hanlin Academy is the editor of the Wuying Palace, and it actually has something to do with the powerful Lan Concubine Niangniang!

Hui Zheng smiled indifferently and waved his hand, "It's okay, Concubine Lan Niangniang asked the old man to prepare silver and grain and grass for transfer long before the rebels attacked Wuchang, and they would rather burn and discard them, and never leave them to the rebels, and even more instructed me not to go down the river, I must go south or north!" When Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, passed through Wuhu, he summoned Chen Shengyuan, the chief soldier of Fushan Town, and I to discuss, and decided to let me go to Anqing to transfer all the military salaries and silver from Liangjiang in Anqing, and I sent people to send my family to Jing County, Ningguofu, and I took out 150,000 taels of silver from Anqing and set off to the north with a sealed letter, and Li Benren, the political envoy of Anhui, also took 150,000 taels of silver to the south of Anhui, I didn't know where he arrived, I and a few boats went north along the Yangtze River, and were caught up by the sailors of the rebels near Wuhu County, taking advantage of the fact that the rebel sailor did not know the terrain of Chaohu Lake, he took a few days to send 150,000 taels of silver to Luzhou, which saved the military salary of half of the two rivers. Hui Zheng coughed, "The five thousand taels of silver can be sent?" ”

"It's already been sent, Brother Hui don't worry about the outside, I will naturally take care of it properly, and Brother Hui can recuperate with peace of mind." Wang Jinzhi flattered without a trace.

"Don't be in a hurry to recuperate, Shaoquan, you write a note for me, Luzhou City has been besieged for so many days, presumably the governor of Anhui and the capital think that the old man is dead, you write it first," through the battle of defending the city a few days ago, Hui Zheng admired Li Hongzhang, a young man who was young and promising, and admired his daughter's ability to recognize people, "First, play this battle, second, talk about the old man's behavior, third," Hui Zheng stared at Li Hongzhang, who was standing in front of the big desk in Huanghuali wood, calmly preparing to write a recital, "Please play, and give 50,000 taels of silver to the original Hanlin Academy in Luzhou for Li Hongzhang's group practice!" ”

Li Hongzhang's eyes widened, and a drop of ink dropped on the rice paper on the wolf pen that was full of Hui ink, turning into a black spot, Wang Jinzhi stood up in disbelief, his eyes stared at Hui Zheng who was leaning on the bed, and then turned his head to stare at Li Hongzhang who also couldn't believe what he heard!

Fifty thousand taels of silver!

Hui Zheng looked at Li Hongzhang with a smile and said: "Don't be surprised, it's okay to tell you, this is what Concubine Lan ordered before, tell the old man to be in Anhui for one day, and he will do his best to help Shaoquan form a new army!"

In the sky outside the window, the spring thunder roared, and after a while, the spring rain fell, and the insects that spent the winter in the grass and trees on the ground were about to move, and they were slowly waking up.

The sting season has begun.

The light rain is new, and a thunderstorm begins.

On February 25 of the third year of Xianfeng, the military aircraft department received a recital of Huitai Road Hui Zheng in Huining Chi, Anhui Province, which said: "On February 1, the minister from Anqing brought 150,000 taels of silver down the river to the east of the river, to the territory of Wuhu County, was caught up by the army of rebels, was defeated, and retreated to Chaohu Lake...... Li Hongzhang and Wang Jinzhi, the prefect of Luzhou, defended the city properly and beheaded more than 300 rebels...... The minister took 5,000 taels of silver without authorization to help the prefect of Luzhou defend the city, disrupting military discipline, and asking His Majesty to punish the crime. At the same time, there is also the joint recital of Wang Jin Zhi, the prefect of Luzhou, and the editor Li Hongzhang, which said: "Hui Zheng took the lead, sat on the city gate, opened the silver box, and distributed it on the spot, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and the enemy was helpless, and shot Hui Zheng in the left ribs, Hui Zheng endured the pain and did not move, until the rebel siege army retreated, and he was helped down by the left and right towers, and he was already in a coma ......for a long time."

Emperor Xianfeng slapped the table and said with great joy: "Hui Zheng really didn't flee to other provinces!" also kept the 150,000 taels of silver safe and sound! It's really a great achievement, and if you are hit by a cold arrow, you won't say a word, so as not to fall the morale of the army! What a loyal courtier! Passed the decree, sealed Hui Zheng the title of Duke of Cheng'en of the third class, sent the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to Luzhou to help Hui Zheng recuperate, and asked the military aircraft to draw up a reward for a cadre of people in Luzhou, "The emperor thought of something again, snorted, his face turned cloudy, and said angrily: "This Li Jia is hearsay, and he dares to play, it is really hateful!" And this political envoy Li Benren with another 150,000 taels of silver, when he went to southern Anhui, he met the rebel thief's partial division, and he was actually defeated by these rebels, and was robbed of most of the silver by the rebels, or not, for the sake of him being wounded by the traitor, I will not pursue it, Yang Qingxi, passed the decree, reprimanded Li Jiaduan, fined him for half a year, and made Li Benren demote to three levels, still in his original post, and allowed him to wear the crime and make meritorious service. ”

"Wow!"

Emperor Xianfeng suddenly thought of something again, and said a little apologetically: "I have wronged Concubine Lan these days, Yang Qingxi, let's go to Chuxiu Palace immediately and comfort Lan'er!"

"Wow!"

Xingzhen has been a lot cleaner in recent days, and the concubines of the Sixth Palace have come less, except for Yun Guiren who came to visit Xingzhen, she also complained: "The sky has fallen, and there are Changhan to resist, what are those governors and governors doing?" If you count down, you have to investigate the political envoy and the envoy first, and it will be your turn to be Amma. Besides, although the magistrates have the responsibility of defending the territory, what are the generals doing? Xingzhen pressed Yun Guiren's hand, indicating that she understood her kindness, in addition, the people from the Internal Affairs Office did not come very much, it was originally something that Chuxiu Palace wanted, and the Internal Affairs Office was immediately sent up, and now she went to ask for something, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office also dared to push back and block, and then shirked it, so she sent some bad things, Fan'er went to the Internal Affairs Office yesterday to get this month's monthly example, and came back angrily, Anqian pulled Fan'er to persuade for a while, which eliminated Fan'er's anger, Xingzhen knew that it must be the people of the Internal Affairs Office who were red and black, Now I dare to detain the monthly rules of Chuxiu Palace. Xingzhen was also silent, waited until Fan'er went out, secretly called Anqian over, and ordered Tang Wufu to open the treasury, take out his private room, and take it out to distribute it to the palace people who were waiting in the palace as this month's monthly money.

Although her face is not exposed at all, this Xingzhen's heart is really like an ant in a hot pot, seven up and down, father, father, you must listen to me, you must not go down the Jiangdong, it doesn't matter if you lose your official position, it doesn't matter if I lose my position as a concubine, but this life must be saved!

Xingzhen was holding a copy of Song Ci and looking at it aimlessly, her heart had already drifted to the south, and when she was in a daze, she heard Xiao Anzi outside report with surprise and joy: "The emperor has arrived!" Mother, the emperor is here! ”

Xingzhen hurriedly got off the kang and pressed the cheongsam, Anqian hurriedly helped Xingzhen out of the warm pavilion, bowed down in the main hall, and said: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

The emperor didn't speak, he personally helped Lan Concubine up, took Lan Concubine's soft hair, and strolled into Xinuan Pavilion, Xingzhen's heart hanging in mid-air was half lowered, fortunately, at least the emperor's attitude was not bad, no matter how big a thing his father Hui Zheng did, he was always fine.
