22. Siege Wei to save Zhao (4)
"I see," Xingzhen sneered, thought slightly, and asked Shuangxi, the eunuch who was looking at her, "Then the emperor is discussing with the military plane?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, at this time, the military planes have arrived, and they have already called Hanlin to wait, and they are estimated to pass on the decree."
"Okay, you go to Wufu to get a reward, you go back first, and the palace will go to the Qinzheng Hall immediately." It turns out that the Jiangnan battalion was broken through like this! Now I finally understand.
Xingzhen stood up and paced around in the hall, it turned out that this Zhang Guoliang was also brave and good at fighting, and it turned out that this was how Li Xiucheng broke the Jiangnan camp.
I'm afraid that Xianfeng and the minister of the Military Aircraft Department are among them, but they don't know, "Anqian, let's go to the Qinzheng Palace." ”
"Niangniang, at this time, the emperor is summoning the military plane, I'm afraid it's not the right time in the past?"
"It's okay, let's go first."
The emperor nodded, and expressed his approval of Peng Yunzhang, a scholar of Wenyuange, who was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the foreman of the military aircraft, "Order the Jiangnan battalion to divide troops to rescue Zhejiang, and He Guiqing will definitely be able to coordinate the country properly", "Now that there are no soldiers in Zhejiang, if Zhejiang's tax land is lost, and the military salary for counterinsurgency does not know where to start, let's look at it like this." The emperor took a sip of ginseng tea, and saw Yang Qingxi probing his brain outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, he was originally irritable, and he was a little impatient, frowning, and asked, "What is this?!" ”
Yang Qingxi knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived." ”
Bai Ye and Mu Yin, who were standing in front of the emperor with their hands tied, glanced at each other, and knelt down with Peng Yunzhang. "Wechen (minions) retire."
"Well," Emperor Xianfeng nodded, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and several military ministers walked out silently, only hearing the friction of clothes, and after a while, he heard a few rings and clanging, and heard the queen's voice in his ears calmly, "The emperor is safe." ”
"Get up." The Emperor opened his eyes and nodded. "The Empress has heard the news from the south, too?"
Xingzhen was about to answer. "I see." But seeing the emperor's indifferent eyes, he quickly changed his words and said with a forced smile: "What is the matter in the south?" The concubine came to invite the emperor to take a look at the fetus of the jade noble, and I heard that her body has been a little uncomfortable recently. ”
Privately inquire about the emperor's news. Not a good thing.
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "Then I'll go with you to see the jade noble." Since Duanhua and the others sent the Han girl with small feet in. The emperor has not summoned these high-ranking concubines in the harem much, but just blindly pestered those Han women who are gentle like water and have small feet like lotus. Even with the pregnant jade noble, how to see, unlike in the past, when Concubine Li or Xingzhen was pregnant, they could do as much as they could in the six palaces, no wonder the jade nobles were unstable.
"Yes."
Xingzhen didn't ask what the six hundred miles were urgent, but the emperor still automatically mentioned it, "Li Xiucheng left Pukou and laid Lishui, it looks like he is going to Zhejiang, Empress, what do you think?" ”
"It seems that Li Xiucheng is indeed salivating for Zhejiang, a major fiscal and tax place, but the concubine thinks that Li Xiucheng must not attack Zhejiang Province for Zhejiang, what does the emperor and the minister of military aircraft mean?"
"Said that I want the Jiangnan battalion to support." Emperor Xianfeng has forgotten what he said earlier about asking the Jiangnan camp to set up camp for self-protection.
"Please forgive the emperor for the crime of vain words of his concubines, if the Jiangnan battalion is sent out to rescue Zhejiang, I am afraid that it is falling into the rebellious plan of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao'!"
"Wai Wei to save Zhao?" The emperor muttered these four words, thoughtfully, "Does the empress mean that the target of rebellion is not the Zhejiang area?" ”
"This is the grass to beat the rabbit, kill two birds with one stone, why should the rebellion abandon the Hunan army, turn around and return to Pukou, that is to save the siege of Jiangning, now the Jiangnan camp is still there, the grain road of Jiangning City is still broken, how to rebel for the sake of Zhejiang, which is far away from Zhejiang? There must be fraud! ”
The emperor was silent, and motioned for Xingzhen to continue, "This is the plan that the concubine said to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and sent Li Xiucheng to Lishui to attack Huzhou, so where is Chen Yucheng?" ”
"Chen Yucheng is not mentioned in the newspaper, he must still be in Jiangning," the emperor subconsciously answered Xingzhen's question, and suddenly thought of something, Emperor Xianfeng, who was originally leaning on the cushion, straightened up, "Could it be that the queen said that the goal of the rebellion is still the Jiangnan camp, or for Jiangning City!" ”
"Exactly, if it weren't for the Jiangnan camp under his nose, Hong Xiuquan would definitely not allow Li Xiucheng to run for hundreds of miles to attack Huzhou Mansion, which has nothing to do with it, the grain, grass and silver of the Jiangnan camp are all from Zhejiang, naturally, if Zhejiang is counterattacked, the grain and grass of the Jiangnan camp will be unsustainable, but if the Jiangnan camp is broken, the Zhejiang area is also like a rootless tree and no source of water, and the sun can go down!"
"But if this rebellion is a fake show, how about taking Zhejiang?"
"The emperor forgot? You allowed Zuo Zongtang to enter Zhejiang from Anhui before, and now he is in Yanzhou Mansion! ”
"Zuo Zongtang?" Emperor Xianfeng recalled in confusion, "Why don't I remember?" ”
Xingzhen secretly wiped a drop of sweat in her heart, "Isn't it that when Zeng Guofan launched a large-scale counterattack in southern Anhui last year, Li Hongzhang sent troops from Luzhou Mansion to Chuzhou, and Zuo Zongtang sent troops from Huizhou and stationed in Zhejiang. "Actually, it's the meaning of Xingzhen's entrainment, and at that time, it seemed that the emperor agreed without listening to his opinion.
"The concubine thinks that the emperor has not used Zuo Zongtang for a long time, but she just wants to rebel in the Zhejiang area."
"Haha, that's right, but I almost forgot, it's better for the queen to remind me." Xianfeng laughed dryly, "Then the queen, you mean to let Zuo Zongtang go to Huzhou to stop Li Xiucheng?" ”
"This is one of them, Huzhou is not a throat place, if you want to reach the reinforcements in the Jiangnan camp, it must be to go to Hangzhou!" Xingzhen nodded and said, "Moreover, since the emperor ordered the Jiangnan camp to send troops to rescue Zhejiang, it must be to prevent the fall of Hangzhou, Zuo Zongtang is in Zhejiang, Hangzhou must be worry-free, the most important thing is to keep the Jiangnan camp, the emperor also said that if the Jiangnan camp is not damaged, it will be a great achievement." ”
"I have already told people to write their wills, but what is happening now? Can't you catch it back? The Emperor was impatient.
"Rebellion will use tricks, we will naturally use it, Emperor, if this is not the case" Xingzhen opened his hand and said in the ear of Emperor Xianfeng, the emperor nodded again and again after hearing it, and hugged Xingzhen, who was blowing like an orchid in his ear, Xingzhen was startled, "My queen is really a female military machine," Emperor Xianfeng laughed, very proud, and whispered in Xingzhen's ear: "The queen is my ovary, and I am my inner minister!" ”
Xingzhen pinched the emperor lightly, and said angrily: "What kind of internal minister, it's hard to hear to death, the internal minister was a eunuch in the former Ming Dynasty, how can a concubine be a eunuch." ”
"It's me who lost my words, hehe, then according to your wishes, I will give a secret order to the Jiangnan side, let's lure the enemy deeper, please enter the urn!"
"The Emperor Shengming!" (To be continued......)
