33. Treaty of Tientsin (4)
In March, the spring in the north is full of color, the emperor in order to mediate the mood, after the Shangsi Festival, he ordered to drive the Old Summer Palace, the magnolia in the garden is just right, there is a Qianlong imitation brother kiln rain over the sky on the kang on the head of the warm pavilion of the Qinzheng Palace, the purple and white magnolia is inserted on it, trembling and towering, revealing the refreshing fragrance, the queen is in the desk to approve the folding, the emperor drank a sip of the new dragon well, under the window lattice by the bright spring light, leisurely flipping through a book.

"Your Majesty," Xingzhen stopped the pen in her hand, remembering Tan Tingxiang's mission, under his own persuasion, the emperor finally gave up the unrealistic idea of placing the mediation task with Britain and France on the United States and Russia, but although Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, is a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, he does not have the title of minister of the imperial mission, "Tan Tingxiang went to Tianjin, but there is no minister of the imperial mission......
Emperor Xianfeng, who was watching "Zhuangzi", raised his head, rubbed his neck, and had an indifferent look on his face, "It's okay, Su Shun said to me, the side affairs should be handled by the ministers, I think so, if I entrust Tan Tingxiang to the errand of his minister, wouldn't it be too much to look at the Gao Yangren, hmph, I haven't settled the affairs in Shandong and Guangdong with them, I am magnanimous, and I can't have no bottom line," Emperor Xianfeng stood up, "I have already asked him to deal with the ministers of the four countries, and there will be a good result in the near future, not to mention, Monk Greenqin is very well prepared at the mouth of Dagu, it doesn't matter whether this minister has or not, "The emperor moved his body, Ruyi put a stack of folds in front of Xianfeng, Xianfeng impatiently pointed to the queen sitting on the edge of the throne, Ruyi hurriedly handed the fold to the queen's side, Fan'er took the fold, put it on the top of the imperial case, and handed the approved fold to Ruyi, Ruyi opened the curtain, walked out and took it to the internal music office.
Just as Ruyi opened the curtain, the sunlight outside the hall shone in, and along with the sunlight, a bright song sounded intermittently outside. "Sunny day, sunny day~"
The emperor's ears pricked up, and Xingzhen also put aside military affairs for the time being, and looked up outside. But through the window lattice, I saw the sea of flowers outside, except for the little eunuch who was waiting for the emperor's orders outside, I couldn't see half of the idlers.
The singing outside the window seems to be intermittent, "peach blossoms are like fire willows like smoke~~~" The singing is light and wonderful, which makes people think about it. The emperor heard such a singing, how could he still stay indoors, coughed slightly, and said to Xingzhen, "Empress, I will go out and come back in a while." ”
Xingzhen knew well about the emperor's widowhood, but she didn't care, stood up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please go." After the concubine approved the fold, she was going to prepare for the silkworm ceremony, so she didn't come to the emperor to ask for peace. ”
The emperor nodded violently, "It's hard work, I don't have to come here," and when he heard the singing, he hurriedly instructed Yang Qingxi, "Why don't you bring my sedan chair quickly, dead slave, such a good spring, how can you live up to it!" ”
Yang Qingxi hurriedly said yes. "Congratulations to the emperor." Xingzhen bowed, and when the emperor came out of the Qinzheng Palace, Fan'er helped Xingzhen up, and the singing outside the hall still sounded melodiously. Xingzhen couldn't help but hum when she heard "Yes Shuangfeiyan," Fan'er was indignant, and pulled Xingzhen's sleeve, "Niangniang, it's obvious that she is a fox who wants to seduce the emperor." You don't say anything! ”
"What do you say, it doesn't matter, the emperor likes it," Xingzhen hummed the song and transferred to the throne, and continued to approve the excerpt, "The emperor just likes to listen to a tune, this palace is the virtuous queen, the virtuous queen will not care about these little things, let's just take care of our own errands," Xingzhen instructed Fan'er, "You let Ruyi bring the fold of the Eight Banners garrison of Zhili and Gyeonggi, yes, that's it, the one in the green sandalwood box, bring it to me and see," Xingzhen opened the fold, looked at it carefully, and then instructed Fan'er, "You go and tell Concubine Zhen, don't forget the records of the honor room, today," a helpless but relieved smile appeared on Xingzhen's face, "The emperor is estimated to be always drunk in singing." ”
The singing outside the hall stopped for a while, and then sounded again, and the female voice carried a hint of wish-fulfillment and delicateness, "Sunny day, sunny day." The lakes and mountains reflect the Chinese year, the spring is full of the Old Summer Palace, and the two cranes and two cranes sleep with their necks crossed. Daughter's tears, daughter's tears. The slave is now eighteen years old, and the air is good spring. Who is the companion of the slaves? Who is the companion of the slaves? ”
"Presumptuous!" Monk Greenqin was furious at Wu Yundi, who broke into his handsome tent, "When will it be your turn to talk about this handsome decision!" ”
Wu Yundi shrunk his neck, but he was not knocked down by the anger of the monk king, and still stiffened his neck and said unconvinced, "Dashuai, how can you talk too much under the mark, just watching these foreigners show off their power outside the mouth of Dagu all day long, and some fishermen's small sampans are fishing at the head of the sea, all of which are played by the hateful British, and then bombarded with artillery, which is really hateful!" ”
Monk Greenqin raised his eyebrows, and looked at the eldest young master of the Han military banner in Beijing with interest, "Yo, when did the eldest young master of the Wujia clan also learn to ask for his life for the people?" Didn't you love to play tricks in Beijing before? ”
Wu Yun Dijun's face flushed, "I just can't get used to the arrogance of these foreigners, and I can't get used to their domineering behavior on our Chinese sea, so I came to Dashuai here to ask for his life, let the standard go to the fort, command the brothers to send a few cannons, and let them taste our Qing artillery!" ”
"Confused!" Monk Greenqin shook his head and scolded Wu Yundi loudly, "Don't think that after winning a few battles in the Central Plains, you dare to despise the heroes of the world!" The rebellion can't be compared with Britain and France, the army, let alone those thieves! Monk Lingqin was half reprimanded, half mentioned, "Our Eight Banners Army, the odds of victory are in the bow and arrow, even if you add artillery, you can compare to the ships that foreigners fly on the sea?!?!?! ”
"You must know that these artillery pieces transported from the south were also bought by foreigners, and they work against the hair, and against the foreigners, maybe they are useless!" Monk Greenqin looked at Wu Yundi, who was still ignorant, and hated that iron could not become steel, "The emperor's will let this king build a fort and prepare fortifications, this is our errand, if it is not for foreigners, we can't fire a single shot!" These are the emperor's exact words. Wu Shoubei, be your own errand, don't worry about other things! ”

"Tut-tut," Pashali couldn't help but sigh as he took the official document handed over by his entourage, he turned his head and said proudly to the French minister, Glo, "I know that this Chinese emperor is extremely timid, and at this time, seeing our two most powerful countries in the world with the most advanced fleets in the Far East, the courage that was supposed to be tough on us has disappeared again!" (To be continued.) )
PS: After Jiang Bosheng was dismissed from his official position and returned home, he built a gorgeous and chic garden. When the garden was inaugurated, someone secretly wrote one
The sub-couplet was pasted on the door: "Cause a crooked house, and use up all the money that is corrupt." Jiang Bosheng was extremely embarrassed when he saw it.
