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 coming out from the back of the hall, and looked at it slightly, the young woman in only the red flag outfit stood indifferently on the pedestal of white marble, with an outstanding demeanor, it was the queen of the middle palace, Yeh Nara.

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 a stupid person, he appeared here after this time, and a few eunuchs who blocked him vaguely guessed something, and then he was so polite, he could only reply first, "The queen mother is benevolent, please tell the emperor, and the slave will have important matters to see the emperor." ”

Xingzhen's stubborn Su Shun 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 for being blunt, the queen's duty is to raise the royal heirs and cultivate virtue and calm down." Instead of taking 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 Su Shun, who was looking at herself with her hands crossed, 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, which is the first duty of the palace, so the palace is here." It's not about interfering in political affairs. It's for the sake of the emperor's body, can adults understand this 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. It is a matter of government affairs. Please also ask the queen mother not to hinder it. ”

Xing Zhenzhi was solemn and obedient, and sighed, "Don't you know the emperor's intentions?" ”

"What does the emperor want?" Su Shun asked. I don't know what the queen wants 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 on his hand glittered in the sun, and Xingzhen Yang Qingxi swollen Lao Gao's left face, "You go to the Internal Affairs Office to spread the emperor's will, Concubine Wen Ergen Jue Luo Shi died, added the nickname 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, then turned his head, walked down the Dan Majesty, and walked to the front of Su Shun, wearing the flower pot at the bottom of the 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, so he avoids it," After saying this, Xingzhen was no longer on the ground Su Shun, crossed Su Shun, stopped for a while, turned her back to Su Shun and continued," 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, Emperor Xianfeng's benevolent heart 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 Hotan, Xinjiang, and handed over to the local government to plant trees every day as a punishment.

Since the death of Concubine Wen Min, the Emperor of the Six Palaces is not in a high mood, and the concubine Zhen has been bedridden for a few days because of the head wind, and the consistent wind and snow in the Old Summer Palace are a little less, and the emperor is just indulging in singing and dancing all day long, and every day he summoned a few edicts from the Shengping Department to come in and serve, sometimes he is tired of listening to the Kun dialect, and he announced the four joys and three celebrations and other Hui classes into the garden to sing Xipi Erhuang, throughout February, Xingzhen's ears have not been clean, Concubine Zhen is sick, and the things in the six palaces are thrown back to the queen, and the mourning of Concubine Wen Min has been making trouble for a while, 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 is the first hall gift and added again, several prefectures and counties reported drought and flood locust plagues, where there is a civil uprising, should be thrown on Xingzhen first, the emperor is now more and more impatient with bad news, except for last year's monk Greenqin painstakingly managed the 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 official department 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, the British minister Prussia, the French minister Bourblon, and the 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 the governor of Zhili, Hengfu, to send a note to the British and French ministers, appointing them to land from Beitang and go to Beijing via Tianjin to exchange contracts, with no more than 20 people and no weapons. The British and French envoys categorically rejected the Qing government's arrangement and insisted on entering Beijing by tracing the White River through the Dagu Pass. 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. Zhili Admiral Shi Rongchun and Long Ruyuan, the deputy general of the Dagu Association, were the first to die 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.
