XXXII. The Minister Goes North (5)
"Yes, yes," Ruyi trembled, "Shandong eight hundred miles urgently, Shengbao fought with the foreigner's fleet in Shandong Dengzhou Mansion, and suffered a defeat, foreigner, foreigner has been" Ruyi's mouth trembled and couldn't speak, it can be seen that the horror is extreme, no one spoke in the room for a while, and Concubine Li Zhenfei also looked at Ruyi's teeth fighting up and down in horror.

"You've already come north to Dagu, right?" Now Xingzhen has sat on the kang again, knowing that these things are the same, Xingzhen has calmed down.
"Yes," Ruyi was surprised by Xingzhen's prophetic preconception, "The emperor has seen the excerpt and has been stunned, and Mr. Yang asked the slave maid to invite the mother." ”
Xingzhen nodded, "What a fuss," everyone didn't know who the queen was talking about, "and made the city stormy?" Xingzhen stood up and instructed Concubine Zhen, "Ruyi is so panicked, it is estimated that all of the six palaces must know, you go and admonish those restless palace people!" This palace went to see the emperor. Concubine Li also stood up, Xingzhen understood, "You go to the imperial pharmacy to cook a bowl of soothing soup, and then send it to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”
"How can you be on an errand in front of the emperor if you are so afraid!" Xingzhen looked at Ruyi with hatred, "Let's go, go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with this palace!" ”
Xingzhen rushed to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Xianfeng was already summoning the Minister of Military Aircraft, Xingzhen stood at the door and waited for a while, Yang Qingxi quietly slipped out, welcomed the queen into the side hall, and served tea, Xingzhen took a sip of tea, and the phoenix eyes quietly looked at the head of the Heart Cultivation Palace, "The emperor is very angry, right?" ”
Yang Qingxi swallowed his saliva quietly, of course the emperor was angry, which was the reason why he wanted the little eunuch to quietly come and invite the queen to put out the fire, "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor was angry, and the Duan Yan left by Su Dongpo, who was his favorite on weekdays, was shattered, and he just scolded the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, saying that they were useless." ”
"You are also an old man in front of the palace, why are you so careless," Xingzhen said inexplicably about Yang Qingxi, not only Yang Qingxi heard it inexplicably. An Dehai, who came to serve with him, also heard inexplicably, "The emperor has no will to let the palace come, so you will come and tell the military situation on the 800-mile expedited school, and 'leak the forbidden Chinese' General Manager Yang." How many heads do you think you can chop off? ”
Yang Qingxi was so heartbroken when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again and again, "Niangniang, help!" help! ”
"Alright, get up. Xiao Anzi, help Yang Gonggong up, "Xingzhen put down the bowl, "This palace knows that you are worried about the emperor's body, so I came to tell this palace, but in the future, you should be less like this, come quietly, and don't make a fuss in the six palaces." ”
"Are you today?" Yang Qingxi asked carelessly, is it impossible for the queen to go back again?
"Today's palace will say that I heard that the emperor had a big fire, so I came to visit." Xingzhen waved her hand, "I won't let you sit on wax." ”
"Niangniang is really a holy grace," Yang Qingxi was convinced, flattered, and talked about Emperor Xianfeng's summoning of the minister, "Su Shun has just entered the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”
"The emperor favors him, and it is common for him to be with the Minister of Military Aircraft." Xingzhen was casual, "This palace will sit here for a while, and when the emperor disperses the ministers, you can go and tell the emperor again." ”
"Wow."
Outside the window, thunder shook. After a while, the otherwise sunny weather became dark, the wind was strong, and the eaves clanged. The spring rain has finally arrived in a pouring way.
In the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the little eunuchs lit candles, and they didn't have time to laugh at the military planes kneeling on the ground, so they hurriedly hid out, and the emperor's bad mood was obvious. "Rank ministers, now that the foreigners are about to hit the doorstep, why, haven't you come up with any way to keep the enemy out of the country?" The emperor was obviously extremely angry, and even his voice was not as gentle and elegant as usual, calm and calm, with a heavenly style, and became angry, "It's really useless! ”
The military planes knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, and the emperor had to start the roll call, but one by one they said that the emperor would "be independent", and the emperor was about to be angry, if he had an idea, what else would he do with these waste snacks? Yang Qingxi sent a bowl of tea, the emperor was still very annoyed, and was about to put the Qianlong red five dragon bowl on the ground, and looked at Su Shun at the end coldly, put down the bowl again, waved his hand, and let Yang Qingxi, whose face was like earth, withdraw, "Su Shun, tell me, what do you have in mind!" ”
"Back to the emperor, these foreigners are just asking for money, as long as we give them some money, it must be fine," Su Shun understood very clearly the purpose of the British and French powers to move their hands and feet against China, but the next words changed their taste, "Let's just give more silver, presumably the foreigners will soon retreat, but the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River is rampant, this is to our Qing Dynasty, this is our henchman's trouble, foreigners are at most elbows and armpits." ”
"What you said is reasonable," Xianfeng somewhat agreed with Su Shun, "then how do you think to deal with foreigners?" ”
"In addition to giving money, we also have to make two preparations, this time it is Britain and France attacking, the United States and Russia are not involved, we can let the ministers of the United States and Russia turn to mediation," Su Shun's eyes were blazing, and a cadre on the side looked at Su Shun with a cower and spoke to the emperor, "Besides, let the monk king guard against Dagu, and send a few more to Tianjin," Su Shun paused, "If the war is not harmonious, then it can only be appeased." Su Shun said that the high-sounding sound, the so-called appeasement is just a decent way of surrendering peace, just like the "year coin" given by the Northern Song Dynasty to the Liao State.
The emperor's heart was bright, but he couldn't help but admit that Su Shun's method was the best, "That's it, just do it according to your wishes, the military aircraft will come from the point of view, by the way, Su Shun, you go to the military plane and watch them send, and then discuss what to do about it!" ”
The emperor's words exploded in the hearts of the ministers of the military aircraft like thunder, Su Shun has not yet entered the cabinet, but he has already acted for the affairs of the military aircraft, is it possible that since the Daoguang Emperor has been a powerful minister Mu Zhang'a, this Xianfeng Dynasty is going to rise again?
"Kneel down."
Xingzhen entered the main hall of the Yangxin Palace, the spring rain outside was dark in the underground hall, and a little candlelight could not sweep away the shadow of the emperor's face, Xingzhen finished saluting, raised her head, and saw that Xianfeng's eyes had a large piece of crow blue, and her eyes were also dim, seeing Xingzhen stepping forward, the emperor just nodded lazily, "The queen is here." ”
"The concubine heard that the emperor was angry, so she came to see the emperor, although the state affairs are cumbersome, it is better to ask the emperor to take care." Xingzhen said with relief. (To be continued.) )
PS: There were four shortcuts to promotion as an official in the late Qing Dynasty, saying: "The emperor and the king, the ghost makes the gods worse." "I'm talking about the emperor's master, the prince's assistant, the envoy of the foreign devil country and the messenger of the Shenji battalion. Nowadays, there are also four shortcuts to promotion as officials, namely: the second generation of officials, the second generation of officials, the second generation of officials, and the second generation of officials.
