3. Seeking Peace with Victory (4)
"The British and French envoys have come ashore?"
"Exactly, in order to prevent the local people from not being clear, catching foreigners with red eyes, and creating contradictions out of thin air, the magistrate of Jinghai County specially took the envoys of the two countries from Dagukou to Tianjin," Chen Fuen said to Prince Gong, "It will be possible to arrive in the capital in a few days, no wonder, these foreigners are not afraid that we will detain them again, and their arms are like Pa Xiali's cadres, and they are still in prison in the Old Summer Palace."
"This king has already apologized in the letter for the detention of Pasha Li and others, and promised that this kind of thing will never appear on diplomatic envoys again," Prince Gong glanced at Chen Fuen and said unhappily, such a thing was still done by Su Shun, but he had to wipe his ass and clean up the aftermath, "Now that they are willing to enter Beijing to negotiate peace, on the one hand, we have won the war, and they must always keep their voices down for the time being; In addition, it is estimated that the handwritten letter of my prince has played a role, and the conditions set by the American king are itchy, giving so many things to irrelevant Americans, and the Celestial Empire cannot be stingy with Britain and France, so I went to Beijing to find out, don't think that the matter of Pashali has passed, it is not over, and there will be a competition when the time comes. ”
Prince Chen Fu Engong looked unhappy, didn't dare to say anything more about it, and changed the topic, "I heard that the emperor has issued an edict to prepare the frame for the Internal Affairs Office, so that the queen mother will go to Xingzai in a few days?" ”
"I heard about it, but this is not what our courtiers should take care of, the queen mother made up her mind," Prince Gong said with a wooden face, Chen Fuen felt that it was boring, touched two soft nails, just wanted to get up and say goodbye, and heard Prince Gong say: "The envoys of the foreigners are going to enter Beijing, and you must prepare for the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so that no one can collide with the envoys, and also, release the Pa Xia Li and other people who are under house arrest in the Old Summer Palace, and find a courtyard, just don't let them contact the outside, and wait until the ministers of the two countries enter Beijing, If they want it, then give it to them again," Prince Gong picked up the tea as a sign-off, and after Chen Fuen left, he frowned and said to Gui Liang, who was silent on the side, "It's really strange how this person has been coming to me lately." ”
"Hehe, the prince doesn't have to worry too much, thinking that the prince handled the situation and won such a big battle, for a while, I am afraid that many people have moved their minds and want to take refuge under the command of the prince, this Chen Fuen is the best at seeing the wind and the rudder, seeing that he is on an errand under you, how dare he slack off, you know, a leaf knows the autumn, who is better and better for the emperor now, and shares the troubles for the emperor, these slippery and handless hall officials know best." Gui Liang said with a smile.
"Maybe, but after all, we are in Beijing, not in front of the emperor, no matter what, people's words can reach the emperor's ears."
"Fortunately, the queen is going to be here, and with the mother here, the prince doesn't need to worry too much in Beijing."
"The queen mother is not going to do it," Prince Gong smiled bitterly, "The phoenix body is not safe, and the imperial doctor said that he would recuperate for a few days, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make the trip in the past few months." ”……
"It's really ridiculous," Su Shun couldn't help but laugh mockingly when he heard the reason why the queen didn't come to Rehe, "The imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is exactly the same as the eunuch, they are all missing objects, the eunuch is missing an egg under his crotch, the imperial doctor, it's just missing a piece of tongue, what the master says, they just say," Su Shun sneered again and again, "I don't know if the emperor believes it or not." ”
Several ministers of the king of military aircraft waited for the emperor to announce in front of the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, this is a daily thunder and immovable itinerary, everyone said that the queen could not come to the line for the time being due to illness, the queen's excerpt yesterday arrived in Rehe, saying that it was impossible to make the trip due to illness, and attached was the pulse case and pharmacy records of the Tai Hospital, Su Shun said these words, and several little eunuchs on duty in front of the palace heard Su Shun laughing and talking unscrupulously, and blushed, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so he could only quietly sneak on the side and curse in a low voice with hatred.
"Why don't we go back to Beijing? The horizontal and vertical foreigners have been defeated, and we will not be able to stay in this hot river any longer, this wild duck and hare have also been beaten, and the autumn light on the plug has also been enjoyed, "Why hasn't the emperor returned?" Duanhua said suspiciously, he always stayed outside like this, but he was not as comfortable as his own palace.
Everyone was silent, although the question was simple, the answer was quite difficult, didn't the emperor have any scruples? The foreigners came and fled in a hurry, and the foreigners returned to Beijing immediately after defeat? This autumn excuse is used here, and the shame must be covered for a few more days. "The emperor ordered Mulan to be in autumn to appease the Mongolian tribes, but the goal has not yet been achieved, and this Rehe still has to stay for a little longer." Su Shun said as he entered the palace with everyone to meet the emperor.
Sure enough, Su Shun understood the emperor's thoughts best, and the emperor nodded again and again, "That's right, the Mongolian tribes haven't met yet, so it's better to stay a few more days, not to mention," the emperor pointed to a small rosewood box on the imperial case and said, "The queen has already returned the seal of the Tongdaotang."
