When the queen's phoenix drove to the gate of the palace of the Old Summer Palace, it was already the time of the lantern, a group of eunuchs and a few guards outside the gate of the palace were walking around in a mess, and when they saw the queen's phoenix, they quickly knelt down, Xingzhen got off the phoenix car, saw the messy crowd, couldn't help frowning, and raised her face towards Anxi, Anqian understood, stepped forward and grabbed a eunuch and asked a few words, and came back to tell Xingzhen worriedly: "Niangniang, the emperor has issued an order to go to Rehe Qiujiao!" ”

"What!" Xingzhen was shocked, "Although Tongzhou is lost now, it is not the time to leave Beijing!" "How could Xianfeng be weaker than in history and unable to endure failure!

Anqian was a little unimpressed by Xingzhen's reaction, "It's also excellent to go to Rehe to avoid it, foreigners don't know the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, and when they get to Beijing, it's not good to bump into the emperor." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After Anqian Piri Yangqiu finished saying a few words, Xingzhen shook her head, raised her two rather thick eyebrows, pursed her lips, her expression was resolute, and she waved her sleeves, "Wufu quickly give that box to Wu Yundi!" Ansie, let's go into the garden! ”

The queen walked into the garden covered with a crank seven phoenix golden umbrella, bypassed the white marble pedestal of the Zhengda Guangming Palace, and met several kings and ministers head-on, led by Su Shun was tilting his head and Wen Feng, the minister of the Old Summer Palace, said: "The emperor is out of Beijing, you must guard the Old Summer Palace," before he finished speaking, he saw the queen and his party standing on the ground not far away, Su Shun saw that the queen was wearing a bright yellow court dress, wearing a crown, and a string of thumb-thick Dongzhu Chaozhu on his neck, and hurriedly shook the horse's hooves, knelt down and saluted, "The slave asks the queen for peace, The queen is blessed with Jin'an! ”

Although Xingzhen hated Su Shun very much, she couldn't humiliate the minister in these etiquette, it was a loss of dignity in the Six Palaces, nodded, and gave Su Shun and the others a weak hand with their right hand, "Hurry up, please get up." ”

When Su Shun and the others stood up, Xingzhen saw the smug expression on Su Shun's face, and the anger in her heart rose again, immortals. I promise I didn't mean to be angry, Xingzhen sneered, and said to Su Shun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan and the others: "Good errand for all ministers!" It's already time to hold the lamp, and you're still in the garden to discuss political affairs? It's really diligent. ”

Su Shunying's hooked nose twitched slightly. He did not show weakness in the face of the queen's sarcasm, and did it-for-tat, "The queen praises, and the slave is ashamed," he said, rolling up his horseshoe sleeves. Anne glared at Su Shun, and Su Shun didn't care - rolling up her sleeves when replying to the superior's words was an extremely impolite rule. Su Shun brushed the dust that didn't exist on his chest, and said casually, "Worrying about state affairs was originally a matter for the minions, and it was not worth such praise from the mother, but the mother was the one who worked hard, not only to rule the six palaces, but also to do things that were not done by herself." Recommending talents, but also approving excerpts, the mother is hard. ”

Xingzhen's eyes narrowed, "It can't compare to the hard work of Lord Sushun, the hard work of connecting the state city was lost, and tens of thousands of people were defeated like this." ”

"Niangniang still has to worry about her own business," Su Shun waved his hand, "The emperor has asked the servants to prepare for the Mulan Autumn Festival, although Niangniang is swaggering in the palace of diligence, it's a pity." The situation is stronger than people," Su Shun tsk, "Until now, it is still inevitable to go to Rehe, and the slave heard that Niangniang also arranged for the Jianrui Battalion to train day and night?" Of course, the minions hate the foreigners. But looking at it so coldly, I am afraid that the hard work of the mother will be put into water. ”

Xingzhen laughed angrily and nodded towards Su Shun, "What Lord Su Shun said is that this palace should really take care of its own affairs. Don't let people take advantage of the fact that the palace is out of the garden to save relatives, and take advantage of the loophole! Xingzhen bowed slightly to a few people, "Gentlemen, please." Turning around, he ignored Su Shun and the others, and went straight to Kyushu Qingyan.

Su Shun looked at the back of Xingzhen and his party and sneered, although Duanhua was a little dissatisfied with Xingzhen's attitude, he still said Su Shun, "Look at it, what are you doing!" And the queen is angry! You are not Heshen, she is naturally not the Wulanala clan, what kind of fame, you, a foreign minister, can still overpower the emperor's pillow? ”

"I don't want to overwhelm her, hehe," Su Shun replied, "Just tell her hand not to reach out, woman, it's better to stay in the harem honestly." Wen Feng didn't speak after hearing this, Su Shun continued, "Let's go, go and clean up the affairs of Qiu Feng, I'm afraid that the foreigners will come to Beijing day and night, and it's too late to leave!" ”

。。。。

The corner tower of the west gate of Tongzhou City was blown through half of it, and the black smoke has been coming out on the remaining corner tower of the civil engineering structure, and no one will take care of it at this time, the prefect of Tongzhou has long abandoned the city and fled, and the shivering green battalion soldiers knelt on both sides of the city gate, and the Earl of Ergin rode a Japanese horse and marched into Tongzhou City proudly, followed by Glo.

"What a wonderful city!" Ergin saw the neat houses and spacious streets, and the willow trees were planted all over the city of Tongzhou, Ergin nodded, and couldn't help but praise it, the closed storefronts and the bedding and salutes thrown everywhere on the streets were gorgeously ignored by Ergin, "Such a city, with such a population, has long been a sewage overflow in England!" ”

Gro nodded, "Mr. Earl is right, such a perfect city construction is indeed relatively rare, however, it is also related to the geographical location of the city, but the gateway to the capital, the taxes collected by the officials, of course, will be repaired." The villages we passed through before were in tatters, and if Mr. Earl was interested in catching a few Chinese to take a closer look, we could see that those ordinary people were also dressed in tatters. ”

Ergin laughed, and rode his horse to a square, where the mess of vegetables and goods proved to be a thriving market, "My lord, I have no interest in those poor ghosts, what I am interested in, oh," said Ergin to a group of British soldiers who had just been sent out by himself, "and it seems that they have been found." ”

"Lord Earl, I found several boxes of silver in the treasury of the Chinese government, all of which were yarded Chinese silver dollars, about fifty thousand!"

Elgin's pupils widened suddenly when he heard the number of silver dollars, and then retracted to his normal state, "Very good," Ergin nodded approvingly, and smiled at the ecstatic Gro, "Mr. Minister, how is it?" We've found our expenses for the month! How about our two armies split the money equally? ”

Gro nodded like garlic, "Mr. Earl is a kind person, and it is really worth the trip to follow Mr. Earl." Having said that, the Chinese are really rich, such a city hall level warehouse has tens of thousands of silver coins, you know, it is this province next to the emperor, there are about twenty such town halls!
