In June of the 10th year of Xianfeng, the British invading army occupied Dalian Bay, and the French invading army occupied Yantai, blockaded Bohai Bay, and used it as an advance base for attacking Dagukou. Russian Minister Ignatiev and US Minister John Warren also rushed to Bohai Bay in July to once again cooperate with Britain and France in the war of aggression against China under the pretext of "mediators." After the Qing government won the Battle of Dagu, it fantasized about making peace with British and French imperialism. When the British and French warships approached the mouth of Dagu, Emperor Xianfeng also instructed the monk Greenqin Hengfu not to "still have the intention of fighting first and then making peace", so as not to "end the war and disaster", and "always have to take the situation as the priority", and sent Hengfu to negotiate with the British and French envoys.

The former enemy commander-in-chief, Seng Greenqin, thought that the enemy was not good at land warfare, so he concentrated on Dagu and abandoned the defense of Beitang to give the enemy an opportunity. Ignatiev provided Britain and France with intelligence that Beitang was unfortified.

On the first day of August, 18,000 British and French troops landed in Beitang and occupied Tianjin. The Anglo-French forces landed at Beitang and did not meet any resistance. On the 14th, Tanggu was captured, and the water and land coordinated attack on the fort on the north bank of Dagu. The Qing army defending Taiwan fought bravely under the command of Governor Le Shan. However, the Qing government had no determination to resist the war, and Emperor Xianfeng ordered the monk Lingqin to leave the camp and retreat. The Qing army then fled from Dagu and retreated to Tongzhou via Tianjin. On August 21, Dagu fell. The invading army drove straight into Tianjin and occupied Tianjin on the 24th.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the Western enamel color self-striking bell jingled, pointing to six o'clock in the morning, the emperor was frowning and pacing in the East Warm Pavilion with a fold, Xingzhen stood on the side with a handkerchief, and the emperor folded his son and sat on the bed. Suddenly closed the fold, and was silent, although Xingzhen already knew what was going on inside, but she could only stand beside the emperor helplessly, waiting for the emperor to sit down, outside the Xingzhen Palace, slowly sat next to the emperor, leaned on the emperor's shoulder and said, "Call up?" The Minister of Military Aircraft is waiting outside. ”

"These foreigners really have to inch in," the emperor's face was pale, and the sadness between his eyebrows was difficult to erase. "Now the cost of compensation has been increased to eight million taels. In addition to the original opening of several treaty ports, Tianjin! It's so deceitful! Tianjin is the gateway to the capital, how can it be opened lightly! The Emperor was ashamed and angry, and stood up. Sit in a chair. He slapped the table hard. Ruyi outside turned his head to look inside, and curled up more and more.

Xingzhen stood beside the emperor, "Tianjin is lost. It is equivalent to having opened the door to the capital, and now the situation is indeed extremely dangerous, according to the concubines to rectify the soldiers and horses," Xingzhen approached the emperor, leaned over, and the emperor said: "It's better to bring the sixth master to discuss it?" ”

Xianfeng, who was originally distressed, heard the queen's idea, frowned and turned his head, Xingzhen said again: "In the end, it is my own brother, one person is short, and two people are long," the emperor turned his head and looked at the cloisonné vat full of ice cubes in front of him, thoughtfully, thought for a moment and Zhenzhen, Xingzhen urged: "Ah? The emperor was moved, "Okay, let's call Yi first??" bar. ”

Xingzhen turned her head, "It's called Yi??! Ruyi answered, and hurriedly ran out of the hall, the emperor coughed a few times, and Xingzhen commanded again, "Oh, there is also deer blood, come in quickly!" ”

The Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister Wang were waiting outside the Qinzheng Palace, talking in twos and threes, Su Shun originally bowed his head and Jiao Youying to talk about the corruption case of several ticket numbers in the household department, and said extremely warmly, and raised his head coldly and hurriedly trotted out, and went straight over Duanhua Zaiyuan, Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Wenxiang, Du Han and several other military planes, and crossed himself, Su Shun was a little displeased, stared at Ruyi and snorted coldly, Ruyi shuddered, stopped suddenly, leaned over and prepared to listen to Su Shun's orders, Su Shun rolled up the horseshoe sleeves with his hand, and asked casually: " The six books of the military aircraft are all here, who does the emperor want to build? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, the emperor will call the sixth master."

Su Shun's eyes condensed slightly, "Well, you can go." ”

Duanhua walked over, "Strange, what did the emperor ask Prince Gong to do." ”

Du Han was a thin middle-aged man, he twisted his beard and pondered slightly, "Eighty percent is the queen's idea, I want to learn the tricks of the martial arts queen and interfere in the government affairs." ”

"Imperial government?" Su Shunhan sneered and dismissed, "She also understands government politics?" ”

"What if you call Prince Gong," Zaiyuan didn't care, "Our emperor doesn't want to see this brother the most, and there must be no trouble." ”

Jiao Youying knew that Bai Jun escaped last time, and the roots were all in Su Shun's mouth to the queen who didn't understand the government, and there were people on the left and right, and Jiao Youying didn't have the toughness of the iron hat king, so he could only quietly remind, "It's better to be careful." ”

In the northeast corner of the Old Summer Palace, there is a group of fine sika deer, and a few fat deer who were originally standing lazily in the fence eating grass heard the deer whistle not far away, and their ears shook again and again, and the deer seemed to know, and they would run wild in the circle, and the deer keepers outside were approaching the deer with a wooden stake wall, forcing the deer to a limited position. A man manipulated a trap, and the deer fell into a trap with two planks sticking out of the upper end of the trap, with a semicircular notch on each side of each of the two planks, which caught the deer's head. At this time, a few people came up, someone tied the deer's head with a rope, and did not let the deer's head move, and one person held a hacksaw, held the deer antler, and sawed off the deer antler at a fast speed, the selected deer screamed, after the antler saw, the deer blood slowly seeped out from the cut place, and another deer keeper brought up the small bowl prepared before. The emperor's movement is always a topic that the people in the palace are happy about, and the deer keeper holding the bowl grinned: "This sun is coming out in the west today, and the long live lord has called Prince Gong to come, and the old man is going to stay up again for this sixth brother." ”

"What do you know," the deer keeper who cut the antlers was really disdainful of his companion's knowledge, "Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, now that the national disaster is at the head, his own brothers don't need it, who else is used?" ”

Prince Gong wore four dragon mending clothes and walked around a few big poplars in front of the Qinzheng Palace to the front of the plaque of the Qinzheng pro-sage, these poplars were still planted in the Gaozong era, and now it is already so big that four or five people are encircled, the ministers and princes of the military aircraft in front of the palace have come to salute and say hello, only Su Shun stood still in place, and saw Prince Gong just arching his hand when he came to him, and he saluted casually, "King Gong is here."
