35. The Smoke of Gunfire Rises Again (1)
Su Shun heard a calm female voice in his ears, Su Shun, who originally wanted to rush forward directly, stopped, only to see a woman's figure come out from the back of the hall, and took a slight look, only to see a young woman in a red flag dress standing indifferently on the pedestal of white marble, with a graceful demeanor, it was the queen of the middle palace, Yehenara.

Although Su Shun was in a rage, he did not dare to be rude, put down his sleeves, and knelt down to salute, "Slave Su Shun greets the queen, and the queen is safe." For a while, the original menacing posture disappeared a lot.
The queen saw Su Shun, who was quite respectful, and nodded with a smile, "Please, there is no need for such a big gift," and when Su Shun stood up, the queen was slightly blessed, "My lord is the emperor's right-hand man, and he is also the Jueluo clan, originally a family, there is no need for such a big gift, just ask for peace every day." ”
Su Shun is not stupid, this time he saw the queen appear here, and saw the first few eunuchs who blocked him, he vaguely guessed something, and when he saw the queen so polite, he could only reply first, "The queen is benevolent, please tell the emperor, and the slave will have important matters to see the emperor." ”
Xingzhen looked at the stubborn Su Shun and smiled slightly, "The emperor is resting this time, if there is anything, if you are in a hurry, tell the palace first, and the palace will tell the emperor, if you are not in a hurry, when the emperor wakes up, the palace will tell the emperor, and then let the adults come to accept the edict." ”
Su Shun's eyes narrowed again, his originally arched back straightened, and his eyes looked directly at the queen, "Forgive the slave bluntly, the queen's duty is to raise the royal heirs, cultivate virtue and calm down, not to take care of the affairs of the foreign court, right?" ”
The fan on Xingzhen's side glared at Su Shun angrily, and Xingzhen, who was so directly said by Su Shun in person, didn't care, but just crossed her hands and looked at Su Shun who was looking at herself at the bottom of the steps, and the two of them were far apart, like the sun and the moon in the sky, "This is not a matter of foreign courts, the emperor is well rested and healthy." It is the first duty of the palace, so the palace is here, not to interfere in political affairs, but for the sake of the emperor's body. Can adults understand this kind of heart? ”
"Hehe, is there less interference in political affairs of the queen mother?" Su Shun sarcastically said to Xingzhen, "I have something important to see the emperor at this time, and it is related to the government." Please also ask the queen mother not to hinder it. ”
Xingzhen looked at the high-spirited Su Shun and sighed, "Don't you know the emperor's intentions at this time?" ”
"What does the emperor want?" Su Shun asked, I didn't know what the queen wanted to say, so I thought of a few words and sent Lao Tzu, phew, there is really no door!
"The emperor is actually not resting," Xingzhen beckoned Yang Qingxi to come over, the red gold inlaid glass armor in her hand glittered in the sun, and Xingzhen looked at Yang Qingxi's swollen old high left face. "You go to the Internal Affairs Office to spread the emperor's will, Concubine Wen Ergen Jue Luo died, added the title Wen Min, buried with the rites of the concubine, and entered the concubine's mausoleum." Hurriedly asked him to go down to the imperial doctor to deal with it, turned his head again, walked down the Dan Majesty, and walked to the front of Su Shun, wearing the bottom of the flower pot Xingzhen and Su Shun are almost the same height, Xingzhen looked directly at Su Shun. "The emperor just doesn't want to see you, so this palace and Yang Qingxi came out to block the drive, the emperor doesn't want to embarrass himself, and he doesn't want to embarrass you. Only then did she avoid it," After saying this, Xingzhen no longer looked at Su Shun who was staying on the ground, crossed Su Shun, paused for a moment, and continued with her back to Su Shun. "In order to preserve the friendship between the monarch and the minister, the emperor has worked hard to this point, Lord Sushun, do you still insist on seeing the emperor?"
Half an hour before Bai Jun's execution, the emperor's will to pardon Bai Jun was delivered to the entrance of the vegetable market by the imperial guards, the benevolent heart of Emperor Xianfeng exploded, and all the people were changed to exile, except for Bai Jun never used, Pu'an Li Heling raided the house, and the whole family was assigned to Xinjiang Hotan, handed over to the local government to take care of it, and planted trees every day as a punishment.
Since the death of Concubine Wen Min, the concubines of the six palaces looked at the emperor and were not in a high mood, and the concubines were also bedridden for a few days because of the head wind, and the consistent wind and snow in the Old Summer Palace were a little less, and the emperor was just indulged in singing and dancing all day long, Xingzhen is ready to drive to the first agricultural altar in the Old Summer Palace to carry out the queen's silkworm ceremony, the Qingming Festival Fengxian Palace gift has been added again, several prefectures and counties have reported drought and flood locust plagues, where there is a civil uprising, all should be thrown on Xingzhen first, the emperor is now more and more impatient to see these bad news, except for last year's monk Greenqin painstakingly operated Dagukou Fort to give the emperor a big surprise, other trivial matters have been handed over to Xingzhen Zhu pen for approval, in addition to Su Shun's money bag and the official hat of the Ministry The emperor has a firm concern, everything else is indifferent. Xingzhen became more and more busy, dealing with the affairs of the inner palace every morning, and resting for half an hour after lunch in the afternoon, she had been nesting in the Qinzheng Palace until the time of the lamp before returning to the dormitory.
Far from being satisfied with the privileges they had seized from the Treaty of Tientsin, the British and French governments deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of the treaty exchange to provoke war again. In June 1859, after rejecting Gui Liang's proposal to exchange the treaty in Shanghai, British Minister Prouss, French Minister Bourblon, and American Minister John Warren each led a fleet outside the mouth of Dagu in an attempt to deter the Qing government by force in exchange for the ratification of the Treaty of Tianjin. The Qing government fortified Dagu and ordered Hengfu, the governor of Zhili, to send a note to the British and French ministers, designating them to land from Beitang and go to Beijing via Tianjin to exchange contracts, with no more than 20 people attached and no weapons to bear. The British and French envoys categorically rejected the Qing government's arrangement and insisted on marching the fleet to Beijing through the Dagu Pass along the Baihe River. On June 25, the commander of the British Navy, Hebu, led 12 warships from the barrage to Haikou, and at 3 p.m. Hebu ordered the British and French forces to attack the Dagu Fort. The Qing army, under the command of Seng Lingqin, resisted heroically, fired artillery counterattacks, and the battle was extremely fierce. Shi Rongchun, the commander of Zhili, and Long Ruyuan, the deputy general of the Dagu Association, were the first soldiers and died in battle. Due to the Qing army's sufficient firepower and proper tactics, they sank and damaged 10 enemy ships, killed and wounded nearly 500 enemy soldiers, and killed the commander of the British fleet, He Bo, and the British and French forces suffered a crushing defeat.
