V. U.S. Munitions (II)

Shangxiatianguang is a group of buildings built earlier in the Old Summer Palace, which has been completed in the Yongzheng period. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe name of the Upper and Lower Tianguang Scenic Area comes from the poem "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in the famous work "The Story of Yueyang Tower" by Fan Zhongyan, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. The main building is "Hanyue Building", which is a two-storey open pavilion, and the eaves hang the Qianlong imperial pen "up and down the sky". Hanyue Tower is a group of buildings facing the water, the front half extends into the water, and there is a group of water pavilions and water pavilions on the left and right sides, which are connected together by a nine-curved bridge. This group of buildings is also extremely beautiful and ingenious. Linhou Lake builds two-storey pavilions, the two wings curve the bridge and frame the lake, winds for a hundred feet, and there are pavilions and pavilions on the bridge. Overlooking by the railing, there is a victory of Dongting Lake seen by climbing Yueyang Tower, the upper and lower water and sky are the same color, and the water and sky are connected up and down. This is a good place to enjoy the scenery of Houhu Lake and the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xingzhen was sweating profusely and waking up from a nightmare, taking a nap actually dreamed that she was on a warship, watching the warship she was sitting on suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and was woken up by Fan'er after shouting, Xingzhen opened her eyes, looked at the green cloth curtain on the Luohan bed, settled down, turned over, took the towel from the well water in Anqian's hand, wiped it, and then felt more refreshed, Xingzhen put aside the inauspicious dream, and asked Anqian: "What time is it?" ”

Anqian said the hour, which made Xingzhen realize that she had slept a little too much, so she asked Fan'er to take her clothes and change them, and when it was noisy, Tang Wufu came in and said, "Concubine Wen is here." ”

Xingzhen let her in, and as soon as the newly named Concubine Wen came in, Yierjue Luo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, and her tone was choked, "Thank you to the queen concubine, without the queen's mother, how can the concubine be newly titled and enter the concubine position." ”

Xingzhen was already dressed up, and said to Concubine Wen with a smile: "This is your own blessing, sister, compiled by heart in the dictionary, and the emperor also sees it, so I promoted you to the position before the Wanshou Festival and commended you for your merits." ”

"This is all the blessing that the queen mother gave to the concubines, and the concubines have nothing to reciprocate, so they can only serve the queen with all their hearts." If it weren't for the queen's willingness to hand over this tedious but simple and clear matter to herself, how could she regain her title and get the concubine position, and now the original concubine and concubine Zhen in the palace, one is an old man who served the emperor in the hidden palace, and the other gave birth to the eldest daughter for the emperor, so she has a concubine, she is not favored, and she has no heirs, if it is not for the "Xianfeng Dictionary", she has no hope of climbing to the concubine position in her life.

"If you have this heart, it's enough," Xingzhen helped Concubine Wen up, "You can do something again, although this "Xianfeng Dictionary" has been successfully compiled, but after all, it is a grassroots creation, and it will naturally be revised one by one in the future to make it more refined." This palace has asked the emperor for a decree to let you enter the garden from time to time to help you improve this dictionary, so that your father and daughter can not only see each other often, but also be able to do a good job - this is an indefatigable achievement, you must grasp it well. ”

"The concubine understands."

Xiao Anzi entered the dormitory, his expression was a little unnatural, and he said to Xingzhen: "Queen Mother, Minister of Internal Affairs Su Shun and the emperor reported that he had arrested many people in the Internal Affairs Office, and he had been questioned, all of them were crimes of corruption, and the emperor said that he would let his mother fall." ”

"Oh?" Xingzhen raised her eyebrows and tightened the silk strip on her waist harder, "Those confessions have the emperor seen?" ”

"I heard that Manager Yang said that the emperor had already seen it and was furious, but Su Shun was very angry when he looked at the emperor, and suggested that the queen mother should deal with it."

"Hehe," Xingzhen laughed, this Su Shun still wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and this palace would fulfill him. He took the horsewhip, put it in his hand and tapped it lightly a few times, thought for a while, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs involved in the case will all raid their homes, leaving only the necessary expenses of their families, and order all the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to the front of the Nanxun Hall to watch the ceremony," Xiao Anzi asked: "What kind of ceremony?" ”

"Rod-killing."

The atmosphere in the hall froze suddenly, and Concubine Wen was actually trembling in this midsummer season.

"All the officials involved who are corrupt and have more than 500 taels of corruption will be killed with a cane to set an example; If it is less than five hundred taels, the official will be exempted, and the whole family in the flag will open a flag registration, and the wife and daughter will not be guilty, so be it, since Concubine Wen is here-sister, you won't want to go horseback riding, just help the palace to draw up the decree, Anqian, you used the queen's seal, Wufu went to the Nanxun Palace to announce the decree, and since Su Shun wants the palace to make an idea, he must also be invited to take a look at it when the time comes. ”

"Yes...... The concubines obeyed. Concubine Wen hurriedly bowed her head and agreed.

"Tell them that in the future, whoever dares to take money that should not be taken is an example, and the officials outside have to pass the three law divisions, but this internal affairs office is all royal minions, and no one dares to gossip when they are killed. In addition, tell Lord Sushun that the emperor and the palace fully support him in fighting corruption! "Raid the house to earn money.

"Yes."

"Xiao Anzi, let's go, Yun Concubine is probably anxious to wait at the racecourse."

In front of the South Smoke Temple.

Su Shun touched his mustache, and quietly looked at the dozen or so officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were lying on the ground and were beaten and begged for mercy in a whisper, one of them could no longer bear the punishment, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his head was crooked, and he died.

The eunuch who was executed dragged away the officials of the Internal Affairs Office who were still begging for mercy loudly, and the group of internal affairs officials who stood in front of the Nanxun Hall to watch the execution were all as pale as gold, and a court official of the Internal Affairs Office on the side of Su Shun saw that another one was killed, his sleeves trembled, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but faint.

Su Shun looked at the official who fainted like rotten flesh with disdain, and called the handyman on the side, "Splash him with water to wake him up, the queen wants us to watch the ceremony, if you faint like this, how can you watch the ceremony." Although Su Shun had a hard mouth, he was really surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the Yehenara clan to be so hard-hearted, and he didn't mind his plan to kill people with a knife, and his fear of the queen became deeper and deeper.

。。。。。。。。。

From the racecourse behind the Zibi Mountain House, he followed Yun Concubine to practice his horseback riding skills, sweating profusely, and then to Wuling Chunse and Yun Concubine took a beauty bath that almost had a nosebleed, and Tang Wufu, who went to the palace to announce the decree, rushed back to the Old Summer Palace to Wuling Chunse, saying that the execution in front of the Nanxun Palace was over, Xingzhen just finished dinner with Yun Concubine, Xingzhen nodded, put the matter behind, and said to Yun Concubine disapprehantly: "That sister, the palace will go back to the residence first, and we will go horseback riding again when we are free in a few days." ”

Concubine Yun looked at a few people serving on the side, and pulled Xingzhen with a smile and said: "Queen Mother, not far from the concubine, it's 'Wanfang Anhe', why don't you go and take a look with the concubine?" Bian secretly gave Xingzhen a look.

Xingzhen understood and nodded, "Then let's take a look, I entered the courtyard, but I haven't been here before." ”

"The concubine will lead the way for the mother."

A group of people talked and laughed, wore flowers and willows, bypassed the low hill in front of Wuling spring, and saw a pool of clear water, on the edge of a lush dense forest on the west side, a "swastika" shaped building sits near the water, the whole white marble building pedestal is built in the water, and there are 33 temples connected by twists and turns of the east, west, north and south rooms on the pedestal. The 10,000-character room faces the water on all sides, and the emperor's throne is set up in the middle, and there is the Yongzheng imperial book "Wanfang Anhe" hanging above the throne. The west road is an indoor stage, this stage is very cleverly designed, the singer is in the northwest hall and the emperor sits in the west hall to watch the play, separated by water. The southeast of the 10,000-word house is a waterfront wharf, and the emperor usually comes to Wanfang Anhe and generally takes a boat directly to this wharf to go ashore. Wanfang An and the opposite bank built a cross pavilion commonly known as "cross pavilion", the top of the cross pavilion also set up a copper phoenix, the phoenix in the twilight leaping to try, wings ready to fly.

Looking at Wan'an Fanghe in the shape of "swastika" across the water, Concubine Yun saw that the eunuchs and palace maids were all behind, and whispered to the queen: "Queen Niangniang, the concubine really shouldn't mention this nonsense, it's just a letter sent back by the concubine's brother in the south, saying that it was the last time I saw it in the garden," Yun Concubine gritted her teeth, stopped talking embarrassedly, and plucked up the courage to say to Xingzhen, who was looking at her with a puzzled face, "I fell in love with the girl Fan'er next to Niangniang, and I wrote to talk about it, saying that I must let Niangniang know, hey, The concubine really didn't know what to say. ”

Xingzhen was overjoyed when she heard this, and nodded again and again, "This is a happy event, but Fan'er is a subordinate after all, and Wu Yundi is now a military attache of the third or fourth grade, I'm afraid this Fan'er is not worthy of it." ”

"The people around the mother are the blessings of the boy."

"Having said that," Xingzhen looked at Fan Er, who was happily fluttering a butterfly in the distance, "I still want to ask Fan'er what he means, I should do this first, you and tell your brother, this palace will leave Fan'er first, ask her what she means, and wait for Wu Yundi to return to the court in the future, if Fan'er is also interested in Yundi, this palace will ask the emperor to give marriage!" ”

"Thank you, mother."

"What's there to thank for, your family's Yun Diken is hard-working and competitive, if Fan'er really follows him in the future, he will be blessed."

"The mother praised it falsely."

Xingzhen and Yun Concubine chatted a few words, and looked up at the sky to the south, the sunset in the sky was delicate, like a purple-red brocade. Yun Concubine said a few words, and then talked about the situation in the south, and couldn't help but sigh a few times, "I don't know how he followed the monk king in Anhui, Henan, I only hate myself for being a daughter, if I can gallop like my younger brother and kill the enemy, it will be a very happy thing." ”

"Yes," Xingzhen answered, waving the white jade-handled fan in her hand, thoughtfully, "I don't know what's going on in the south." ”

On the 6th of May, the US ship entered Shanghai, carrying arms privately, and the Chinese sailors patrolled the ship to chase away its sailors.

On the 9th day of the first lunar month, the US ships entered the port of Ningbo, and Tongzhi Mu Yanga used the treasury to buy all the munitions, and transported them to the Jiangxi Zeng Guo Domain, and the remaining part of them organized regimental training on their own, organized foreign gun teams, and the prototype of the Ningbo army was born.

Emperor Xianfeng issued an edict to reward Mu Yang'a, and ordered him to act as the prefect of Ningbo, and British and French arms dealers flocked to Ningbo to sell their own arms.
