XXXIII. Treaty of Tientsin (11)
Xingzhen sorted out the beads on her sideburns in front of the mercury mirror, turned around and went to the dining table, Xiao Anzi just prepared the breakfast, Xingzhen picked up the chopsticks and saw that it was a brand-new purple gold plum blossom Ruyi Lingyun chopsticks, frowning slightly, "Why not the silver chopsticks of the past?" ”
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has newly made these purple gold chopsticks, and I only got them yesterday. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tang Wufu hurriedly replied.
"Let's change the silver chopsticks, the treasury has been difficult recently, so that the gold things are not only the emperor's place, but the concubines of the six palaces are used less except for the headdress and clothes, and there are more, and the internal affairs office is transmitted, and the things at the entrance are not allowed to be made of gold, this thing is poisonous, not as good as silver, and it is beneficial to the body."
"Yes," Wufu hurriedly went down to deliver the decree, Xiao Anzi brought up the silver chopsticks, Xingzhen added a pine nut spring roll and just ate a bite, Wufu who had just gone out came in with a palace maid, "Queen Niangniang, Concubine Li Niangniang sent someone." ”
Xingzhen looked up and saw that it was Concubine Li's personal maid Chun'er, nodded at Chun'er, and motioned for her to speak, Chun'er was blessed, "Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, our mother just made a red mandarin duck belly pocket, thinking that Niangniang would take a look, if it is good, I will make another one for the eldest brother." ”
Xingzhen hurriedly spit out half of the spring roll in her mouth, "Okay, this palace will go over immediately." Xiao Anzi spoke: "Niangniang must have dinner before going." ”
"What do you know, this is called 'Zhou Gong spit out, the world returns to the heart'" Xingzhen despised An Dehai and the people in the palace, it was too uncultured, no one praised such a classic cosplay, and you have to say it yourself, there is a big difference between others praising you and boasting.
Xingzhen stood up, "I'll just use one bite when I go to Concubine Li, things have to be done quickly, Xiao Anzi, what did Deling say?" ”
"Father-in-law De said that he would go out of the palace this morning to do errands, presumably this will be the time."
"Very good, let's go, let's go to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion to see if Concubine Li's belly pocket is in good condition," Xingzhen raised her eyebrows and took the lead out of Bitong Academy.
There are already some signs of turmoil in the city of Beijing. The front of the rice shop was crowded with people, waving silver tickets to buy rice noodles; The carriages on the road were full of luggage, noisy pedestrians and maids, and there were already some ill-intentioned people on the street probing their heads. The little eunuch looked around interestingly, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask De Ling, "Father-in-law De, why are you looking at this street so messy?" ”
"When foreigners hit Tianjin, it's normal for people in Beijing to be panicked." De Ling said indifferently, not caring at all, "You drive well." ”
"Wow."
The carriage arrived at the corner gate of a house, and there were very luxuriant roses planted by the door, Deling jumped out of the car, looked around the left and right, and found no one watching, walked to the door and knocked three times slowly, and then quickly knocked twice, and the corner door opened with a babble. The door inside obviously recognized De Ling, and without saying anything, he dodged away and let De Ling in.
De Ling entered the corner gate, this is a corner of the summer, there is silence all around, only a few thrush calls from a distance, De Ling listened to the movement outside for a while, and then said to the door: "Where is the prince?" ”
"Now I'm going to discuss with Master Gui Liang in Jiale Hall." The man replied.
It just so happened that both of them were there, so I didn't have to make an extra trip by myself. Deling nodded, "You take me there, I have something urgent to see the prince!" ”
"Yes. You always follow me to this side, the prince said, as long as your old man comes, you don't need to report it at any time, just go directly. ”
"Lord Wang," said Jiale Hall. An old man with a long beard and sunken eye sockets said to Yi, "Now that this is the situation, I really don't have any ideas, what does the emperor mean by this, what kind of charter is it?" ”
"Father-in-law," this old man is the Dongge University scholar Guerjia Guiliang, and also the father-in-law of Prince Gong, who left the government for a few years, Yi was a little depressed, and his originally handsome face was a little dark, hearing Gui Liang's question, Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "How can I know what the emperor means, you don't have to look, what things I can meddle in!" The emperor just let me study in the upper study. Yi's implication is that he really shouldn't meddle in these things.
Gui Liang also asked in vain, "Why doesn't the old man know, but there is really no bottom in his heart, the emperor only ordered to do a fuss, but how to talk about this, I haven't talked to a few of us yet, if I don't give an inch to the foreigners, I am afraid that the foreigners will be angered, and when the time comes, Gyeonggi will lose, and I will inevitably become a mistake and throw it out to thank the world; When the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu broke out and attacked Luoyang, Emperor Jing of Han beheaded Chao Cuo to appease King Wu, Gui Liang said this, and he was indeed worried that he would be thrown out by the emperor in the future to appease the anger of foreigners, these things, the royal family is the best to do.
"If you blindly retreat, the foreigners are satisfied, but the public opinion of the people in the world is really ugly, just look at the first emperor signed the "Nanjing Treaty" Qiying, Yiribu, after Yiribu took office in Guangzhou, the city despised him, and he couldn't even find a few palanquin men, the world thought he was a traitor, and soon died of fear; Qiying didn't die, but he fell from the governor of Liangguang to the top of the fourth grade, and when he was five years old, he was sentenced to a prison because of his son's affairs, if it wasn't for the fact that he had to do foreign affairs this time, how could the emperor want to get him! The old man has to see these lessons in his eyes and think about them in his heart. ”
The scale of this is indeed difficult to grasp, and before Yi had time to think about it, someone outside quietly said, "Master, Father-in-law Deling is here." ”
"Please come in," Yi hurriedly spoke, and immediately stood up, Gui Liang knew the weight of De Ling, and also stood up, only to see a thin little old man wearing the gray clothes of an ordinary eunuch quietly walked outside, and saw the two people in the room, knelt down and said goodbye, "The slave asks for peace to the prince and Gui Zhongtang." ”
"Get up," Prince Gong didn't go to help Deling, but just stood and nodded, "What are you doing in this palace?" ”
Yi asked De Ling to sit down, but De Ling didn't sit down, just stood on the ground, lowered his hand and said: "The old slave came out this time, it was the queen mother who had something to bring to Gui Zhongtang," looking up at Gui Liang's expression was a little confused, De Ling continued to explain, "It's about the Fu Bureau, Niang Niang wants to give you a reason." ”
Gui Liang, who was originally sitting on the chair, hurriedly stood up, Su Ri heard that the queen had a hundred steps, and the emperor also said that he was "Zhuge among women", and now he wants to hear his insight.
Yi's eyes were faint, but he didn't speak, just pricked up his ears and listened to what amazing words De Ling was about to throw.
The room was silent, only Deling's voice sounded low.
"What the queen mother means: the treaty port can be added, the mission can also be added, the loss can be compensated, and the land must not be ceded!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Northerners call the hundredched lark, it is well-behaved and clever, and there is no one who can't. There was a man who loved lark very much, and hired a little maid to feed him, and often carried a birdcage to the street to play. One hot day, he bathed the lark and instructed the little servant, "Be careful, if a hair falls, it will break your leg!" With that, he went out the door. The wife wanted to support the little servant to do the work, and the little servant said, "The little man does not dare to leave, and if the lark loses his hair, he will break my leg." The old man had always been afraid of his wife, and when the wife heard this, she took the lark out of the birdcage, plucked out the hair, and threw it into the cage. When the old man came back, he saw that the lark had become a bare-skinned bird, and said angrily: "Who pulled this out?" The little servant did not dare to speak, but the lady replied, "I plucked it, what are you going to do?" The old man smiled and said, "Well plucked, this is cooler than taking a bath!" ”
