Prince Gong took the bow and arrow and nodded with satisfaction from a fox presented, the fox was fiery red, without variegation, with a slender body, the most rare thing was that an arrow hit the back of the fox's neck, and the fur on his body was not damaged at all, "Take it to make people make it good and make a better scarf, I can use it." ”

The attendant led the order, and in the autumn wind hunting, a knight rushed over, and Prince Gong, who originally wanted to continue hunting, put down his bow and arrows, and the knight got closer and closer, "Lord, there is news from the Sifang Pavilion, and I want to invite the prince to meet and negotiate peace!" ”

Prince Gong was slightly surprised, "Yes, those captured foreigners are indeed useful!" Pack up your things and get back to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

"Do you want to dry foreigners for a few more days? Returning to Beijing so soon, I am afraid that the foreigners will be in a hurry to negotiate peace. ”

"It's okay," Prince Gong handed over the bow and arrow in his hand to his subordinates, and smiled at his Xixi, "We just have to be in a hurry to negotiate peace, this matter is known to foreigners, this time out to hunt, one is to relax, and the other is to show to foreigners that they don't care about peace, and regard it as leisurely, now that foreigners bow their heads, we have won a game, and there is no need to hang the appetite of foreigners, return to Beijing quickly, we also have to finish the Fu Bureau, it is almost the end of the year, and we are already preparing for the winter solstice day to worship the ancestors. Make sure you get it done before the winter solstice! ”

"Yes."

On the second day of negotiations, the French minister took the lead in protesting against the fact that the Chinese whipped the prisoners of the two armies with whips in front of the Sifang Pavilion, believing that this violated the human rights that the prisoners should have, Gui Liang said lightly that this was to ensure the safety of the ministers of the two countries, "I heard that those people first attacked the ministers of your country with their shoes, and then tried to come forward to threaten the personal safety of the ministers of your country, so we took action, but please rest assured, the prisoners of your country are well taken care of by Britain and France, Including wounded captives, we were treated by specialized doctors. ”

Liszt hurriedly followed, with an aggressive attitude, "I heard that the minister and his entourage are locked up in your Chinese's summer palace, or a water prison, how can we ensure their safety?" ”

"This is completely unreliable rumors," Chen Fuen shouted luck in his heart, and hurriedly retorted, fortunately, he sold his face to the queen at that time, and escorted the prisoners to the Old Summer Palace, and the minister in charge of the garden found a secluded place to detain them, if it falls into his own hands, Pa Xia Li and other cadres will not die, and those subordinates will always die a few, if they die and get sick, then they are estimated to be dismissed from office to calm the anger of Britain and France, "Although Pa Xia Li and others are disrespectful to the Qing Dynasty, our emperor is merciful, Small punishments and big commandments are nothing more than putting them under house arrest and restricting their freedom. "A cadre of people and others left the negotiation table and came to the right side courtyard of the ceremonial department, together with Xia Li and other cadres, and the unlucky Mr. Gro, although a group of people looked a little sluggish, but unharmed, this excuse was beaten back by the Chinese, Liszt was a little depressed, nodded to Ferrero, and said a lot, Gong Cheng listened carefully, and said to the Chinese negotiating group headed by Prince Gong: "Mr. British Minister asks the Chinese side to immediately stop the military action against the rout army of Count Ergin, which has not been arrested, and to guarantee their safety, and to send them to Dagukou until they return safely to the Anglo-French fleet. ”

Several people on the Chinese side were in a commotion, Yidao squinted and did not speak, Quan Qing's eyebrows were raised, "Does your country mean to have a truce?" Gui Liang asked first.

"Yes." Gong Cheng relayed.

"Then please ask your fleet to stop harassing our coastal areas," Gui Liang shouted sharply, "the negotiations are reciprocal, and I believe that it is impossible for us to give up the encirclement and suppression of the soldiers who invaded China!" If your country does not show the sincerity of the negotiations through practical actions, that is, the action of armistice, what if we give up the encirclement of Ergin and he attacks us again? ”

"The naval fleet is not under our jurisdiction," Liszt slickly said officially, "they are directly on orders from Her Majesty, so we cannot bring their actions to a halt." ”

"Then what is your authority as an envoy to negotiate? Is it limited to the return of prisoners of war? Chen Fuen said sarcastically.

The first formal negotiation meeting between the two sides broke up unhappily, and it was impossible for China to accept the unilateral ceasefire agreement proposed by Britain and France. "Yidao walked out angrily, Prince Gong did his best to pay tribute, and accompanied Liszt Ferrero and others to slowly walk out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, when Yidao walked out of the gate, a person wearing a uniform just rushed in, and almost ran into Yidao, which soldier didn't have time to salute and apologize, so he hurriedly rushed inside, knelt down in front of Prince Gong, and took an urgent item out to give to Prince Gong, Prince Gong took it and opened it, raised his eyebrows, and said to Liszt and Ferrero: "Two ministers, we are willing to accept your armistice," Prince Gong had a mocking smile on his face, and faintly, disdainfully the envoys and others, "Because the Earl of your country, Ergin, has already surrendered in Tongzhou."
