28. Gathering of Heroes (Middle)

"Oh? This is strange," Zeng Guofan muttered, "It's just other countries, but Britain and France will never sell these sharp weapons to us, isn't it," Zeng Guofan's triangular eyes widened, his twisted hand stopped, and his eyes were shining, "Could it be that there are many objections in their country?" ”

"What the marshal said is very likely," Zeng Guoquan nodded, "I heard that the people from Ningbo Mansion said that the merchants of Yingyi did not want to sell to the Yamen of Ningbo Mansion, provided that they could only use weapons for counterinsurgency in China, and not for war against Britain. ”

The generals of the Hunan army in the tent laughed tacitly, such a way to hide people's ears and eyes is not authentic, Zeng Guofan also smiled, "That must be, China has always been a country of etiquette, and we still have to firmly abide by this promise." ”

Everyone laughed, Zeng Guofan talked about the situation in Jiangnan again, "If there is a change in the north, Shaoquan goes to support, then I am afraid that there will be one less person to rely on in the northeast corner, if it is sent north to seize Yangzhou and other places again, it will be difficult for Caoyun to continue," Zeng Guofan looked around at the generals, "Zhonghua has just returned to the camp, and he can't let him go on the expedition again, who is willing to borrow this stall in Jiangbei?" ”

"The last will go!" The first to jump out was of course the war maniac Zeng Guoquan, I saw him jump up, clasped his fists and begged for his life, "My old nine has long wanted to go to the front line, and I will meet Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng for a while, two anti-thieves!" ”

"Dashuai, the last general is willing to go!" A red-faced general in his thirties on the side also hurriedly asked for help, and Rong Lu looked at it intently, it turned out to be Peng Yulin.

"I want to go, brother. You are not allowed to rob me! ”

The tent was noisy into a pot of porridge, and the generals asked for their lives to go to Jiangbei, Zeng Guofan nodded with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with the morale of his army, and waved his hand, "Okay, this matter is not too urgent at the moment, and we will discuss it slowly in the future, the most important thing at the moment is." Zeng Guofan said solemnly. That's the offense! Defend Wuhu, go east and south, and be sure to bite the rebellion! ”

"Yes!" The people in the tent were shocked, and at this moment. A soldier from outside came in and saluted. "Tell the marshal. The governor of Anhui has arrived! ”

"Oh, it's Chang Ru who has arrived, hurry up and greet you." Zeng Guofan called Jiang Zhongyuan's words. said to the people in the tent, "This official invited the governors of the provinces near the left to come to discuss how to deal with the rebellion, and it is estimated that Runzhi will also arrive at this time." ”

"Dashuai, the political envoy of Hubei has arrived and has already disembarked."

"Marshal, the Admiral of Anhui has arrived!"

"Okay, let's go with me to greet you Futai and Fantai, you must know that these are the God of Wealth, a little leakage from between your fingers is enough for our tens of thousands of troops to chew for several days, but you must not offend."

"Yes!"

In the first month of the seventh year of Xianfeng, the jade nobleman mourned for three days, and finally gave birth to a weak male fetus, which was the second son of the emperor, but in the end, the jade nobleman raised the fetus carefully enough, the mother was weak, and was born less than a day, and then died.

Xingzhen boasted that she had never done anything to a woman in the Six Palaces, so in addition to visiting the residence of the jade concubine a few times as usual, she did not pay much attention to a low-ranking concubine, in Fan'er's words, "Our mother has every opportunity, every day to accompany the emperor, take care of the eldest brother, and go to the heart palace to approve the folds, how can we have spare time to see the jade concubine." ”

This day is the third day of the Lunar New Year, ordinary people's homes are a good day to go to relatives, only in the deep palace of the heavenly family, there has never been a place to go to relatives to visit the New Year, so Xingzhen is in the Chuxiu Palace to read a book, around the stove, drink a few sips of milk tea, enjoy a rare comfort.

Fan'er finally knew that the young master of the martial arts family who had met in the Old Summer Palace before, and now the Jianrui Battalion garrison Lord Wu Yundi was interesting to him, and asked Yun Concubine to come to the queen to ask Xingzhen's meaning, and hid for several days with Xingzhen's smirk, Xingzhen ordered An Dehai to pull Fan'er over, and personally asked Fan'er what he meant, Fan'er blushed and asked: "Niangniang, I married past, is it the main room?" ”

"Of course it's the main room, you are like sisters, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance." Xingzhen smiled heartily, "Besides, it's not to marry out immediately, I have to keep you for a few more years, just get married first." ”

"Then I, I," Fan'er lowered her head, the flush on her face seeped to the back of her neck, nodded violently, raised her head, and saw the people in the room looking at her with a smile on her face, she was embarrassed, stomped her foot, broke the curtain and ran out again.

It seems that he really has the ability to be a matchmaker, and he has matched the marriage of his sister and the king of the alcohol county, and now there is another good thing to be done, Xingzhen proudly crooked on the pillow, and leisurely picked up a mare's milk grape with her hand to eat, these days I am worried about the government every day, and it is rare to have some good news to ease the tension.

Fan'er ran in again, and said to Xingzhen with a strange expression: "Niangniang, Father-in-law De said to let Niangniang go to the North Fifth Institute, he has something to tell Niangniang there." ”

"Oh?" Xingzhen raised her eyebrows, what does Deling want to do? Before Xingzhen could speak, Fan'er muttered angrily, "Father-in-law De is so ignorant, Niangniang is benevolent, he climbed on Niangniang's head, and if he didn't come to tell Niangniang about something, he asked Niangniang to go to the cold palace!" Is the cold palace the place where the queen should go! ”

"Mouthy!" Xingzhen pretended to scold Fan'er, and Fan'er saw that Xingzhen didn't mean to be angry, so she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

The North Five Institute is what the palace people call the cold palace, in addition to some concubines who offended the emperor and fell out of favor, it is where some of the concubines and concubines of the previous dynasty lived in their later years, the cold palace is inaccessible, ordinary palace people would rather go far than pass through the cold palace, there are rumors about ghosts and monsters in the cold palace, although Xingzhen has only been in the palace for a few years, but she has long been tired of hearing it, De Ling is selected in the cold palace, there must be something important. Xingzhen thought of this, so she immediately got up, "Fan'er, take Xiao Anzi, let's go, go to the cold palace to have a look!" "Let's see what tricks Deling plays!

"Yes."

Xingzhen and his entourage bypassed the palace alley in front of Kunning's gate, and hurried to the North Fifth Institute, only to see the ruins of the broken wall, the wind whimpered, if it wasn't for Xingzhen's personal arrival, he would not believe that the Forbidden City was beautiful and splendid everywhere and there was such a decaying place, Xiao Anzi trembled, trembling and opened a palace with a false door, only to see the thin Deling standing on the ground, seeing the queen and his party, kneeling down to say goodbye.

Xingzhen nodded hastily, let De Ling get up, just entered the room from the outside, the vision was a little unclear, Xingzhen turned her head and began to look at the palace, the spider silk on the corner of the hall was hanging on the ground, the cloth curtain was tattered and drooping, there seemed to be an unknown statue enshrined in the middle, there were a few residual incense sticks in front of the incense case, Fan Er pulled Xingzhen's sleeve hard, Xingzhen turned her head and asked Fan Er with a white face, "What's wrong." ”

Fan'er pointed to a huddled thing under the incense case with a trembling finger, Xingzhen couldn't see clearly, took a few steps forward, and after seeing what it was, Xingzhen's heart was pounding, it turned out to be a bloodstained little eunuch!

Xingzhen almost exclaimed, took a few steps back, calmed down, and said to Deling Muran, "Father-in-law De, who is this person, why do you want this palace to come to see him?" ”

De Ling did not change his attitude with the change in the queen's demeanor, he still bowed his head calmly, and replied respectfully: "This is the little eunuch who specializes in making small furniture objects in the Construction Division, everyone calls him Xiao Caozi, and he is the most low-key person in the Construction Division. ”

White musk is the strongest medicinal musk in musk, in addition to being extremely medicative, the taste is extremely light, ordinary people can't notice it at all, Xingzhen's face changed greatly, she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly spoke, "All these things he did were sent to the palace of the jade concubine?" ”

"Exactly," De Ling nodded, "According to the old slave's interrogation, there are probably more than a dozen small objects containing white musk, which is probably the reason why the second son of the emperor born to the jade concubine died early." ”

"What a vicious mind!" Xingzhen was furious, and couldn't help but scold, this construction division was assigned to Concubine Li's management, and then Concubine Li looked at those account books and had a headache, and begged herself, she couldn't see the beauty frowning, so she took it back, this is last year's thing, if someone exposed the matter of adding harmful white musk to the furniture used by the dead eunuch in the jade concubine who was pregnant with the child, the first person to suspect would not be Concubine Li, Concubine Li was just favored, but she had no son, and it was she who was the lord of the six palaces who was highly suspected. The only queen who has a concubine at the moment! (To be continued......)
