30. Soaring (3)

"Okay, let Lan'er have a good rest, Yang Qingxi, you go and pass the message! Let Mrs. Zhending help Concubine Yi out of confinement in the palace and then go back, and the first should be supplied according to the order of the second product to call the internal affairs government to respond. The emperor drank the wine in the cup in high spirits, and instructed Yang Qingxi on the side, Yang Qingxi listened, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li heard the emperor affectionately call Yi Guifei's nickname, and couldn't help jumping a few times on her forehead, Yang Qingxi just responded to the order, at this moment, Ruyi hurriedly held a few bright yellow boxes from outside and trotted all the way into the Qianqing Palace, everyone saw those bright yellow boxes, knew that it was the most important military event, and did not dare to stop it, so that Ruyi ran to the emperor and presented the box, the emperor saw those boxes, frowned slightly, The look of joy faded a little, but he couldn't help but take it, opened the first box on it, threw aside the same bright yellow cover of the fold, picked up the fold of the white cover helplessly but had to open it carefully, these hundreds of miles of urgency are all military affairs, imminent, I can't delay myself, if it is bad news from the south, maybe I will call it now, let the ministers of military aircraft enter the palace in the starry night!

The concubines who originally wanted to go forward to celebrate the joy of Emperor Xianfeng's son stood in place, waiting for the emperor to see the military affairs and then consider their behavior, whether they should congratulate loudly or sit back in their positions, so as not to touch the emperor's anger.

The emperor opened the excerpt of the recital, glanced at it, and couldn't hold back his emotions, stood up with a brush, and the hands holding the excerpt slowly trembled, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, Li Concubine and other people saw the emperor's excited expression, I don't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't know what was written in it even if they connected the Ruyi of the excerpt, although they took these excerpts from the eunuch of the Outer Recital Office, but the eunuch of the Outer Recital Office said, As soon as the fold from the south of the fast horse arrived, he had already fainted to death, and he couldn't ask anything.

Xianfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the folds in his hand, opened the few boxes below, picked up the remaining excerpts, and after reading all the ten lines at a glance, he closed his eyes and sat on the throne of Sumeru, and stopped talking.

The women looked at each other, not knowing whether the emperor's posture was good news or bad news. Empress Dowager Kangci also saw that there was something wrong with the emperor's reaction, so she smiled and said, "Emperor, what's wrong?" But a little tired? ”

The emperor shook his head, opened his eyes, and with a burst of ecstasy in his eyes, he threw a few folds in his hand back into the box, and said to the queen mother,

"Eniang, a big victory in the south, a big victory! The monk king surrounded and annihilated Lin Fengxiang's department in Linying County, Xuzhou Prefecture, Henan, and captured Lin Fengxiang alive! The camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei attacked Jinling on both sides, and all the rebellions in Anhui and Jiangxi were withdrawn to rescue Jiangning, and the regimental training in Jiangxi and Anhui took advantage of the situation to recover a lot of lost territory in the two provinces. In the four years since I ascended to the pole, this is an unprecedented victory! The Hehuai area is peaceful. The emperor slapped the table, the cups on the table fluttered, and the smug look in his eyes couldn't be concealed, "This is the good luck that my son brought to me, God really bless me in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

The concubines of the six palaces hurriedly came out of class and saluted together, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

"Okay, the six palaces will be rewarded for half a year!" Emperor Xianfeng laughed proudly, and thought of the strange woman in the apse who gave advice to herself, and now she has a credit to Sheji, and she should be rewarded! "Yang Qingxi, pass the decree, Concubine Yi will be promoted to the imperial concubine immediately, and take the affairs of the sixth palace!" When the Empress Dowager heard the will of Concubine Yi to be promoted to Concubine Yi, her eyes just flickered, and she didn't say much, just nodded with a smile.

"Let the imperial concubine move back after the full moon in the apse of this Qianqing Palace!"

"Wow! So today's banquet of the ministers, the emperor, do you still want to hold a banquet here? Yang Qingxi responded and cautiously raised this question.

"Well, it should be placed in the Zhonghe Palace, so as not to quarrel with the imperial concubine and my son here, hahaha, Eniang," Emperor Xianfeng turned his head to the queen mother and said, "Please go back to the palace to rest first, it is still early in the morning, and the time for the great court meeting has not yet arrived, and the son wants to go to the Fengxian Hall first to tell the ancestors and the emperor about this matter and the victory in the south, so that they can also know the good news." ”

"Very much," the Empress Dowager nodded, "There is such an auspicious omen on the first day of the first lunar month, it can be seen that the imperial concubine, this elder brother must have come into being, presumably this year must be safe and sound, the emperor, you should go to the ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Concubine Zhen stood on the ground, and when she heard the words "came into being", her eyebrows couldn't help but tremble a few times, and she saw that Concubine Li on the side also had a helpless look, and her full of sorrow could only be swallowed deeply, turning into a slight sigh that was still nothing.

Ay.

At present, this mother is more expensive than her son, and the general trend is difficult to change.

A little careful thinking can only be kept in the heart, hidden forever

The first day of December in the third year of Xianfeng.

Although it has entered the wax moon, but this year is a rare warm winter since the Daoguang Dynasty for decades, the weather that should have frozen to the bottom of the river, the rivers of the old Yinghe, Yinghe and Wugong rivers are still flowing to the south in a hurry, a few days ago there were a few intermittent winter rains, the water flow of several rivers is getting bigger and bigger, the Manmeng Eight Banners that have crossed the Yellow River are amazing, the surging momentum of these rivers is actually worse than the Yellow River.

Several elders in Linying County who are familiar with the time of day said to the master of the Qing army camp stationed in Taichen Town, this year's warm winter, looking at the weather and climate, it is estimated that the river will not freeze within half a month.

The master nodded, let those old men wait aside, and walked into the handsome tent, and the soldiers guarding the handsome tent on both sides ignored the master who entered the handsome tent, and just stared at the restless old men in their seventies and eighties with fierce eyes.

The master entered the tent, only to see the smoke in the tent, several generals surrounded by Monk Greenqin on the edge of the table and pointed at the topographic map, the master bowed, carefully said the words of the local fathers, Monk Greenqin nodded, twisted the beard to the map and thought for a moment, Ke Li on the side was overjoyed, and said to Monk Greenqin: "Dashuai, now it happens to be a warm winter, the water is turbulent, and I think about waiting for the river to freeze to the bottom and then cross the river to break through, this is wishful thinking!" ”

"Exactly, now we have surrounded Lin Fengxiang in the valley between the Yinghe River and the old Yinghe River, and now there are strong forces of the Mongolian Eight Banners in the southern river to be executed and resisted, this Lin Fengxiang may be difficult to escape!" Another general smiled happily and said with a high-five clapp.
