"Ling Zeng Guofan is the governor of Liangjiang, and he admires this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" The summoned angel stretched out the tone, and finished the holy decree sonorously, Zeng Guofan led a group of Hunan army generals to shout long live and kowtow to thanks.

Waiting to send away the officials who announced the decree, Zeng Guoquan and other generals of the Hunan army hurriedly bowed down again, no one was overjoyed, noisy and earth-shattering, and his handsome sat in the highest position in the governor, who could not be happy? His own identity has also risen, "Marked (lowly) see Lord Governor!" ”

"What a fuss, get up quickly." Zeng Guofan nodded.

"Please change your clothes and raise your account!"

Zeng Guofan changed into a one-grade crane supplement, wearing a bright red top, shining official boots, and majestically promoted the handsome tent, with the purple seal of the Governor of Liangjiang in his hand, Zeng Guofan looked around, only felt that there were many talents, nodded with satisfaction, and issued his first order after taking office as the Governor of Liangjiang.

"Order Li Hongzhang to preside over Jiangbei military affairs, order Zuo Zongtang to preside over Zhejiang military affairs, and order Wang Jinxiu to go out of Anqing and attack Taihu Lake Lishui from Xuancheng! The rest of the departments, follow Ben Shuai's line, and go east together! ”

"Wow!"

The breach of the Jiangnan camp was of great significance to the Qing court, not only did it not cause the Qing court to suffer, but it put the Taiping army in a more difficult situation. Because the military and political power of Liangjiang was finally unified into the hands of a single person, relying on the trust of the emperor, the care of his superiors, his own talents, and the help of his colleagues, he finally reached the top of the power of local officials.

。。。。。。。。

On this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor was finally embarrassed to continue to stay in the Old Summer Palace, and returned to Luan Forbidden City on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, but Xingzhen was very busy, and the New Year's celebration, annual ceremonies, sacrifices, and rewards must be completed in a week, fortunately, the emperor has no elders, and the empress dowager has passed away for many years, plus Xingzhen has been in charge of the six palaces for four or five years, and there are concubines and concubines and others to help. I passed the year again.

On the first day of the new year, the emperor still gave a banquet to the princes and ministers in the Qianqing Palace, Xingzhen ate a bowl of sugar steamed cheese, was drowsy by the warm earth dragon in the room, yawned and was about to take a nap to make up for sleep. The emperor is feasting the ministers in the Qianqing Palace, and there is nothing that the harem women can mix, so he is happy to be lazy, lie down for a while, and now there is no mother-in-law. It's really refreshing to be in charge of your own house.

Fan'er opened the curtain and entered the room, Xingzhen didn't sleep, her eyes were sparse, and in a trance she only saw Fan'er wearing an azure flag suit, with two knives combed on her head, red piping embroidered on the cuffs, and a camellia inserted in her sideburns. Xingzhen was lying on the kang bored, and suddenly thought of Yun Concubine's entrustment, so she came to the spirit, and said energetically to Fan'er, who was holding the newly picked red plum blossoms and preparing to insert a bottle: "Fan'er, how old is this year?" ”

"Niangniang has a really bad memory, I only asked yesterday, and I came to ask me again today, I am seventeen years old this year." Fan'er pursed her mouth, rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully. 、

Forehead...... Didn't I just ask? Who will remember your age...... "That's seventeen years old, it's time to find a mother-in-law," Xingzhen looked at Fan'er with a smile and said, "How is it?" Do you have a favorite? ”

Fan'er inserted the plum branch into the jade-colored porcelain vase. Hearing the queen's words, she almost knocked over the bottle, only to see that Fan'er's face was redder than the red plum in her hand, Fan'er stomped her feet, "I'm only a few years old, and I want to stay with my mother for a few more years." ”

"Of course that's a good word. I also want you to stay with me for a few more years, but now, I can pick and choose, do you have any guards or military attachés in your eye? Xingzhen straightened up and looked at Fan'er with interest. You are my personal maid, what kind of man do you want, tell me directly, even if it is a yellow belt, we will also learn from the emperor, come to a flop draft, and pick them one by one! ”

Fan'er finally couldn't hold back her master's arrogant words anymore, and covered her ears with a red face and rushed out of the door.

Xingzhen laughed, the lazy mental state was swept away, when the moon was over, the army of Monk Greenqin returned to the dynasty, and the military and people of Hejing came out to welcome, according to An Dehai, who went out to see the excitement, the scene was grand, there was no such excitement in recent years, the ministers of military aircraft all came out to welcome, the emperor personally inspected the three armies at noon, the army shouted long live, the emperor issued a holy decree, so that the title of Prince Monk Greenqin was hereditary, and personally put on the royal yellow coat for Monk Greenqin, put on the three-eyed flower, and the rest of the department had a reward.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he excitedly came to Xingzhen's dormitory, rubbed his palms together, and said that there is this male army, why not be afraid of foreigners, he will be able to sweep away thousands of troops, and sweep away the demonic atmosphere, Xingzhen does not want to pour cold water on the emperor at this time, so he can only hum and echo the past, but the fear in his heart has not diminished at all.

Sure enough, the British arms dealers did not want to lose China's huge arms market, and they had already stated that "as long as China promises to buy arms only for the purpose of dealing with the war judged at home, the British arms factories will, as always, provide strong support to the Qing State." ”

Hehe, sure enough, the capitalists only see profits in their eyes, if the profits are considerable, even their own national interests dare to leave behind, but Xingzhen never does this kind of thing of putting down the bowl and scolding her mother, writing a personal letter instructing Mu Yanga to hoard and buy arms at any cost, although now British businessmen still dare to sell arms, but if Britain makes an executive order, I am afraid that the arms dealers will not dare to openly resist the national policy for too long.

Xingzhen squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and called Anqian, "Call Fan'er's dead girl back to me, send the New Year's gift to the Cheng'en Mansion for leaving the palace, and send a letter to her out." ”

"Yes, sissy." An Qian responded, and said again: "There is still more than a month left for the Jade Guiren to give birth, and the Imperial Doctor said that the Jade Guiren is weak, I'm afraid it will ......."

"I'm afraid I'm going to be born prematurely, huh?" Xingzhen answered indifferently.

"Yes."

"A month earlier is not a premature birth, but, Anqian," said Xingzhen, "can the fetus of the Jade Guiren be saved?" ”

"The words of the Tai Hospital are all covered by clouds and mountains, and I refuse to tell the truth, I asked the little eunuch of the imperial pharmacy to inquire, the medicine of the Yu Guiren is a strong medicated tocolytic, and I heard that it has long been burned to protect the fetus, I am afraid that the situation is really not ......very good."

"Then let's be careful, don't follow other people's ways," Xingzhen ordered, "How is the palace lately?" ”

"It's also very calm, Concubine Zhen helps the mother to cook the six palaces, Concubine Li only surrounds the emperor, Concubine Wen listened to your instructions, and only focused on compiling the dictionary, but she doesn't care much about the emperor's grace, and the little masters are also jealous of the emperor's thoughts, Niangniang doesn't care about the emperor's favor, but transfers the jealousy of these concubines to others." Anqian is regarded as the queen's important eyes and ears in the six palaces, and when she heard the queen's question, she told the queen in detail about the movements of everyone in the palace.

"Well, where is Concubine Yun?"

"Hasn't she been following Niangniang, she has been busy with Niangniang recently, but she didn't dare to disturb Niangniang, but she just whispered in my ear from time to time, saying that Wu Shoubei had returned to Beijing, when would Miss Fan'er be married, everyone inside and outside the Chuxiu Palace knew about it, and probably Fan'er, a stupid girl, was not clear."

"Ha, I'll just say, according to Wu Yundi's temperament, it is estimated that Yun Concubine has been forced every day at this time, no wonder she wants to talk here."

"Who's to say it isn't."

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Xingzhen remembered a person who was almost forgotten, "Where is Deling?" ”

"He stayed in the apse, as before, just teaching the new little eunuch, at other times, the mother told us not to detain him, just let him wander casually, he also often went out for a walk, and he didn't know where to go leisurely."

"Yes," Xingzhen would have been amused by Fan'er and didn't want to sleep, "let's go and see him quietly." ”

Anqian picked up Xingzhen, went around to the back of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, today is the first day of the eighth year of Xianfeng, the sound of firecrackers outside the Forbidden City came far into the palace wall, the sound was muffled, Xingzhen arrived at a small newspaper building outside the east side hall, the wall was mottled with red paint, there were several unknown flowers and trees planted in front, it was the middle of winter, the heavy snow decorated the copper handle of the gate very clean, Anqian stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door babbled, and a thin human head was revealed in the crack of the door, it was Deling.

De Ling squinted and saw the two masters and servants of Xingzhen Anqian in the snow, and hurriedly opened the door, knelt down to say goodbye, "The slave asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

"Hurry up," Xingzhen held her hands weakly and walked into the residence where Deling lived, although the outside looked a little dilapidated, the inside was clean and tight, Xingzhen looked at it for a while, nodded, Chuxiu Palace did not treat this old man badly.

"Is Father-in-law De still used to living in Chuxiu Palace?" Xingzhen sat on an ebony chair, looked at the stove lit in the room, and spoke quietly.

"Thanks to Niangniang's blessing, the old slave is very comfortable in Chuxiu Palace, and he is free on weekdays," Deling raised his head, glanced at Xingzhen with bright eyes, and bowed his head to show respect, "It's just that Niangniang is a little busy, and please ask Niangniang to work less." ”

When Xingzhen heard De Ling's words, it seemed that there was other deep meaning in them, and her heart moved, so she opened her mouth and said to Ann Qian, "You go to the small kitchen to see if the ginseng soup in the palace is ready," and when Ann Qian turned to leave, she motioned for De Ling to sit down, "Father-in-law De has something to say, here in this palace, the speaker has always been innocent." ”

De Ling's ears trembled imperceptibly when he heard the words "the speaker is not guilty", and then he looked at it as if it was nothing, bowed slightly, and sat down on another chair safely. (To be continued.) )
