"This is a small amount of money, Mr. Minister," Ergin shook his head, disapproving of Gro's little family, and held back his impatience to teach, "In the previous war, our British Empire lost 2 million taels of silver, and you France lost 1 million taels, which adds up to only two months' tax revenue in a small province in the south of them. It was only with such a small amount of money that it was not comparable to the taxes they paid to Her Majesty in a year, so Pashali was arrested, and our country applauded, of course, for the sake of the dignity of the empire, this is also a good excuse for war.

Ergin waved the British soldiers to accept the treasury and "Whoever stands in the way will be shot on the spot." ”

"Mr. Gro, do you know the thirteen lines in Guangzhou in the past? At that time, when the Chinese governor of Guangdong, Lin, banned smoking, someone set fire to the thirteen trading houses, and the fire burned for three days and three nights without extinguishing it, and outside the city of Guangzhou, the night was as bright as the day," Gro looked skeptical, and Ergin said with a smile: "Okay, well, I admit, this is too exaggerated, but after that I swear to God, this is absolutely true." ”

"After the fire, people were amazed to find that there were silvery white and shiny things on the ground and on the streets, which turned out to be silver! The silver was burned into silver water by the fire, and it flowed all over the streets. The wealth of the Chinese is unimaginable! Mr. Minister, both governmental and private! Ergin was satisfied to see Gro in shock, "The Chinese are like elephants, although they are huge, they have no deterrent power, and they have been sick and unable to move recently!" Such a good opportunity, of course, we have to fight for it. Ergin was in high spirits, pointing to a group of British soldiers and issuing an order, "Warriors of Great Britain, go and take over the city!" ”

Gro recovered from his stunned stupora and wiped the non-existent saliva from his mouth. Following the order, the French soldiers also dispersed, red-eyed, and rushed to the unarmed city of Tongzhou. "Mr. Earl, what about your British cavalry?"

"They hated the walls and were bored, so they rode out to have fun," Elgin shrugged. "The largest troops of the Chinese in the north, the greatest military strategists have been defeated by us, we have no danger here, let them go out and walk around, don't worry." We don't have to rush to Beijing, let's let the Chinese be scared for a while, Mr. Minister, let's enjoy Tongzhou City first, and when we are away on business, we have to take care of our health for the country. Ha ha. ”

Just arrived in Kyushu Qingyan. Concubine Li came up with a group of concubines, Concubine Zhen was still calm, Concubine Li had panic on her face, and she was holding Da Gege in her hand, Da Gege was obviously frightened by her mother, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes. When Concubine Li saw the queen, she was like a lifesaver suddenly found by a person who fell into the water, "Queen Mother, how is this good?" The emperor's intention is to get up and drive to Rehe. It's a sudden tightness! ”

Although Yun Concubine and the others didn't speak, they were extremely scared, Xingzhen looked at everyone's worried and frightened expressions, and her heart was surging. These women who live in the Old Summer Palace also know that the national disaster is at hand! Xingzhen calmed down and said indifferently, "It's okay, although the emperor is thinking about going to Rehe, he hasn't made an order in the end." Everyone settled down separately, especially you, Concubine Li," Xingzhen was disgusted, "why did you bring Da Gege?" She's a child, and you're all scared, have you seen it? scared our family Susu," Xingzhen wiped the tears on Da Gege's face, "How old are you, don't be like a child, go back, even if you go to Mulan Qiuqiu, everyone will naturally follow, where is the emperor, we concubines will naturally be there, otherwise what will it be!" Let's go back, the people in their respective palaces are well restrained, and the first thing is to control your hands and mouth! Got it? ”

The women got the backbone of the Lord's heart, and their hearts suddenly settled down, and they all squatted down and saluted yes, Xingzhen waved her hand to let everyone get up, "The emperor is inside?" ”

"Yes," Concubine Zhen answered, "everyone wanted to come and see the emperor, but the emperor didn't see any of them." ”

Xingzhen's heart moved, and she smiled at Concubine Zhen, "If the emperor refuses to see him, let's disperse, Concubine Zhen, you go to Bitong Academy to settle the eldest brother," turned around and said coldly to the deep palace gate, "I'll come back when the matter is here." ”

"Yes." Concubine Zhen glanced at the back of the queen standing tall in front of Kyushu Qingyan, bowed her head and retreated respectfully.

When the concubines all retreated, there was silence everywhere, even the autumn cicadas had the slightest sound, Xingzhen faintly heard the sound of gongs, drums and pipes in the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, when is this, why are you still in it to listen to the drama and listen to the music!

Shuangxi, who was originally waiting on the side, stepped forward and leaned in front of Xingzhen and said: "Niangniang, the emperor didn't get angry this time, he had dinner, and he was in a daze. ”

Xingzhen nodded, "If you go to tell me, you will say that this palace asks to see you." ”

Although Shuangxi was a little embarrassed, he still responded to it, and slipped into Kyushu Qingyan, and after a while, two figures hurriedly ran out, and it was the emperor's imperial manager Yang Qingxi who was in front of him, Yang Qingxi had an anxious face and bowed to Xingzhen, his voice was full of fear, "Niangniang, the emperor said that he was tired today and didn't want to see you." ”

Not only was there a sense of surprise in Yang Qingxi's voice, but even An Qian was taken aback, this is the time when the queen asks to see the emperor at any time, and there has never been a time to refuse, whether it is when the emperor is taking a nap listening to the play or when, as long as the queen asks to see, the emperor is not seen, this ...... It's weird and urgent.

Xingzhen's eyes narrowed, this is a dangerous signal, thinking of Su Shun's words just now, the anger in Xingzhen's heart became more and more difficult to suppress, who is Lao Tzu working so hard for? Is it for me, the stupid queen? Want a pearl from Hepu? Or the brocade of Suzhou and Hangzhou? Or is it for those springs on Yuquan Mountain? It's ridiculous!

Xingzhen suppressed her anger, looked up at the plaque in the main hall of the palace gate, and now the night was dark, and she couldn't see the words on it clearly, but she knew that what was written on it was the four big characters that seemed very ridiculous and ironic now.

"What is the emperor doing?" Xingzhen asked calmly, and there was no displeasure in her tone.

"In ..... Listening to the play. The more the queen was like this, the more frightened Yang Qingxi became, and replied tremblingly.

Xingzhen turned around and walked out slowly, the eunuch palace maid behind her was like a wave, Anqian stepped forward and hurriedly hugged Xingzhen, Xingzhen shook off Anqian, turned around, and looked directly at the dark Kyushu Qingyan Palace. (To be continued.) )
