33. Treaty of Tientsin (12)
"Mother, the queen is here. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The little eunuch came in to pray, and Concubine Li, who was originally chatting with Qinghai in the side hall, quickly stood up, "Amma, hurry up and greet me." ”
"Yes, sissy."
Before the person stepped into the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Xingzhen's hearty voice sounded outside, "The distinguished guest is here, but the palace is far away, I really can't help it." Qinghai only heard a ring sound after a while, the aroma of the attack came immediately, Qinghai didn't dare to raise his head to look, threw off his horseshoe sleeves and knelt down, "Slave Qinghai to the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother Wan'an." ”
Qinghai who was kneeling on the ground only saw a pair of bright yellow flower pots walking past the Persian carpet woven with passionflower gold, and stopped in front of him, "Get up quickly, why do you need to be so polite." Xingzhen picked up Concubine Li on the side, and Concubine Li took the queen's hand and said with a smile: "The concubine's Ama is the first time to see the master Niangniang, and it is impossible to say that she has to be courteous, not to mention that Ama is also a Hongfu who entrusted her mother in the foreign court....."
"I'm embarrassed to say this, so let's sit down." Xingzhen was anti-guest, sat on the throne in the palace of Concubine Li, waved her hand to let Fan'er and An Dehai and other people who came with her stand back, and stood at the door of the hall from afar, "Why should Lord Qing be so humble," Xingzhen smiled at Qinghai who had just sat down, Qinghai's body stood up again, Xingzhen hurriedly asked Qinghai to sit down again, "Please sit down, you are a waiter of the courtesy department, a waiter of the Li Fan Academy, and a few important ministers in the previous dynasty, why bother with a minion, although the eight banners are all people in the hands of the emperor, But it also has to be divided into high and low, isn't it? ”
"Yes, it is a great honor for Weichen and Concubine Li to win the favor of the queen, only by serving the Lord wholeheartedly and doing their duty can they repay the kindness of the mother."
Xingzhen smiled slightly, "When Lord Qinghai said this, this palace is also relieved." Chun'er took the little girl to serve tea, and Concubine Li waved them to retreat, relying on herself to win the queen's favor. opened his mouth and said with a smile: "This lady is coming to Yonghe Palace, don't hide any tricks, although the concubine's Ama is diligent, but she is a little dull." Looking at the mother with a clever plan to come out to save the emergency, the emperor has not been happy recently, if the errand is not done well," Concubine Li glanced at Qinghai who sat down and bowed her head, and a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to eat the first rib."
Qinghai nodded slightly, and raised his face slightly, "What Concubine Li said is very true, the emperor didn't say what kind of charter he wanted in the holy decree, Weichen was confused, thinking that Niangniang knew the emperor's intentions, so he came into the garden to ask the queen what she meant." "I will do what the emperor wants.
I won't do what the emperor wants, Xingzhen sneered in her heart, but she smiled kindly on her face, "Naturally." The emperor's idea is the most important, if the emperor is satisfied, of course this fuju will be done, but, Lord Qinghai," Xingzhen looked directly at Qinghai, "The so-called fuju is naturally a foreigner's request, and the center did not agree to him before, which led to a military disaster, if the foreigner's request cannot be done." Presumably, if there is a need to increase troops, the emperor will inevitably be angry; But the emperor's intention can't be done, and the emperor will be angry, you say. What should you do? ”
The sweat on Qing Hai's forehead couldn't help but flow, and he quickly knelt down, "Please let the queen mother guide you, the slave and Concubine Li must follow behind the mother, and only the mother is the first to look forward." ”
"What is this doing, get up quickly. In the old years, you did an excellent job in the negotiations with Russia, the emperor likes such a courtier who is willing to do a good job, you go to Tianjin this time, you can talk about anything else," Xingzhen took a sip of tea, the water vapor rose, and the original delicate face became blurred, "The emperor insists that foreigners are not allowed to stay in Beijing, if this matter is negotiated, it is okay, if it can't be discussed, it is okay, yes, but there is one thing," the originally amiable queen's voice in Qinghai's ears became tough, "You must not cut the land!" ”
"There will never be peace in the compensation for the land cession, this time the foreigners took advantage of the Xilin teaching plan and the Yarrow incident to take advantage of the opportunity to attack China, speaking of which, our Qing Dynasty also has half of the responsibility, this compensation is to stop the mouths of the foreigners, but also to show our sincerity," De Ling continued, not caring at all about the great changes in the faces of Prince Gong and Gui Liang, "But you can't cut the land, cut a piece today, cut a piece tomorrow, in the future, China is in danger of destroying the country, and we have to take precautions." ”
Gui Liang nodded, but shook his head again, "I understand what Father-in-law De said, but the old man still doesn't understand what it means, what the amount of compensation should be, and one more thing, if a foreigner must be stationed in Beijing, what should I do?" Please make it public. ”
"Niangniang means not to pay for military expenses, to pay for military expenses is to help foreigners raise soldiers to attack China, businessmen's affairs are easy to discuss, but they must also be compared, now the south is rampant, the treasury of silver must be used on the blade, when the first emperor and the foreigners negotiated peace, they lost 21 million taels, this time, it is always in one-tenth, it is almost the same."
"Is it the sum of all countries?" Gui Liang hurriedly asked.
"That must not be, Britain and France can give this amount, the United States and Russia are foxes and fake tigers and dogs, and they cannot lightly set a precedent for reparations!"
Xingzhen continued, "When Xuanzong ceded Hong Kong Island, the emperor is still angry, if you do such a loss of power and humiliation under the threat of foreigners' muskets and artillery this time, even the palace will not be able to protect you, so this land must not be ceded, is it easy to pay compensation, naturally it is easy to discuss, but, Lord Qinghai must also know," Xingzhen crossed the gold inlaid white jade armor and skimmed the tea foam, "When the Tanyuan Alliance was in the Song Dynasty, how did Kou Zhun say to Cao Yong, who signed a contract with the Khitan?" ”
Cao Yu asked Song Zhenzong before leaving, how much is the right amount of New Year's coins (in fact, it is to spend money to buy peace), and Song Zhenzong said that it is about the same between one million. After Kou Zhun knew what Song Zhenzong meant, he recruited Cao Yong into his own guiss and said to Cao Yong: "Although there is an edict, you have promised 300,000 yuan, and I will behead you." In the end, Cao Yu really only talked about 300,000 years of coins and came back.
Qinghai nodded again and again, Xingzhen continued, "In the old year, the first emperor signed an indemnity of 21 million, and now it has been reduced to one-tenth, this palace looks suitable, in addition, don't talk with the four countries, talk together, they four countries lion opened their mouths, and they made China uncomfortable, presumably you can't go around, these four countries, Russia must not back down!" Lord Qinghai also knows how you have risen in recent years, what Russia likes most about China is not silver, but land, and if you back down against Russia, the land in the north will no longer be owned by China. (To be continued.) )
PS: A northerner and a southerner, both are good at bragging and lying. The two admired each other and traveled thousands of miles to meet. The southerners said, "I heard that your land is cold, how cold is it?" The northerners replied: "When it is cold in the north, you must bring sticks and sticks when you pee, and when you sprinkle it, it will freeze, and you will knock it with the cold, otherwise people and the wall will freeze together." When I took a bath in the bathhouse, I was frozen in the basin. After speaking, he asked rhetorically: "I heard that your land is very hot, how hot is it?" The southerner replied, "When the south is hot, stick the dough cake on the wall, and it will be cooked immediately." In the summer, there are people driving pigs on the street, and they become cooked pigs after walking a short distance. The northerners said, "If the pig becomes like this, how can man stand it?" The southerners said, "Man has long since turned to dust." ”
