XV. The Aftermath of the Great War (2)
Emperor Xianfeng pushed the Li nobleman away, and he didn't care that the Li nobleman touched the edge of the window with a sigh, and leaned down eagerly, staring directly at Yang Qingxi: "What about the report?" Hurry up, take it! ”
"Here, the emperor should go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, right?" Yang Qingxi hesitated to put forward his opinion.
"Foolish bastard! I'd like you to mention me! Hurry up and get it, or I'll break your dog's leg!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes" Yang Qingxi replied with a stack of voices, bowed and quickly retreated, and in a moment, he held a bright yellow piece and presented it to Emperor Xianfeng.
Xingzhen sat up straight, staring at the fold in Emperor Xianfeng's hand with a serious expression, the emperor gasped, and couldn't wait to open the fold sent by Hubei, Anqian Fan'er and others were like a great enemy in Chuxiu Palace, holding their breath and concentrating, Li Guiren was also shocked by this tense and serious atmosphere, rubbed the place where it was hit, and didn't dare to make a sound, the hall only heard the slight sound of red Luo charcoal burning in the incense burner, and the heavy snow outside the window, the snow on the roof of Chuxiu Palace was overwhelmed, and the muffled sound of falling down one after another.
The emperor's eyebrows shook violently, his hands trembled slightly, Xingzhen began to worry a little about whether Emperor Xianfeng had epilepsy at a young age, the emperor closed the concerto, slapped it heavily on a few sons, and laughed: "Okay! Good! Good! What a chain! What a fire attack! What a Wuchang battle! After laughing for a while, he handed the chapter to Xingzhen, "Lan'er, hurry up and take a look, I looked at this excerpt and felt that I felt empathy with Zhou Yu of the Sanjiangkou who set fire to it, as if I was standing under Wuchang City, watching the thief army disappear!" After speaking, he hugged Li Guiren again and laughed, "Li Guiren, where did you hurt yourself?" Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor to take a look? ”
Li Guiren saw Emperor Xianfeng calmly handing the chapter to Concubine Lan, his eyes were slightly condensed, and when he saw the emperor turn around and ask with concern if he was injured, he hurriedly laughed, "It's so delicate there, it's not in the way, what's wrong with the emperor, what makes the emperor so happy?" I also told the concubines to listen to it, so that the concubines would be happy with the emperor, okay? ”
Emperor Xianfeng frowned slightly, but he didn't mean to blame, "You don't know about Liguiren?" Chang Dachun, the governor of Hubei, and the two governors of Jiangnan and Hubei held on to Wuchang City for four days, and Wang Jinxiu, the general soldier of Hubei, waited for the opportunity to burn the pontoon bridge of the rebel siege in one fell swoop, and also beheaded the rebel thief's western king Xiao Chaogui! By the way, Xiang Rong, the governor of Guangxi, also saw the opportunity and made a great contribution! Emperor Xianfeng turned his head and looked at Lan Concubine with a look of approval, and there was some more gratitude, "Thanks to Lan'er, you daughter-in-law Zhuge came up with a wonderful plan in "Three Kingdoms"!" A piece of paper burned thirty or forty thousand traitors! ”
Xingzhen also happily watched Chang Dachun's recital, "After the enemy besieged Wuchang, the advance boy soldiers attacked the city, fortunately the soldiers used their lives, the whole city worked together to hold a few days on the fourth day, the city wall was bombarded by the thieves with artillery, when it was in danger, the general soldier Wang Jinxiu made the fireboat crash into the pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge caught fire, the general soldier Wang Jinxiu Admiral Shuangfu Changlu and others all made people shout that the traitor East King and the West King were dead, messing up the enemy's heart, the enemy army was in the plan, the offensive was chaotic, the minister ordered the two commanders to counterattack outside the city, and drove the rebels to the pontoon bridge Guangxi Admiral Xiang Rong killed the enemy who spied on Hongshan, The fire on the river at the foot of the rebel camp was burning, drowning more than 30,000 enemies who surrendered and killed."
Xingzhen took the music and used it as a feather fan, and the left-handed imitator Xu Sheng on the stage, stroked his beard, and recited a sentence in a thick voice: "This fire can help our army win a complete victory~" Emperor Xianfeng saw Xingzhen's playful appearance, and laughed more and more.
Xingzhen's face was straight, she got up and got off the ground, Anqian was quick with her eyes, and she helped Xingzhen to make a big salute neatly, Xingzhen was respectful, and officially said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" This is really the first big victory of the Xianfeng Dynasty, the emperor is blessed with great fortune, and the fortune of the Qing Dynasty is prosperous! ”
The palace people all over the ground were all human spirits, and they hurriedly knelt down together, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor is blessed, and the Qing Dynasty is prosperous!" Even the noble Li broke free from Emperor Xianfeng's arms and knelt on the ground.
Emperor Xianfeng also got off the kang, helped up his most trusted Lan Concubine with both hands, patted Lan Concubine's hand, and sighed: "Lan'er get up quickly, you should also get up, it's all thanks to Lan'er's good strategy, otherwise relying on Xiangrong in Hubei Luying and Guangxi together, where can you get such a big victory!" But it's also a waste of your good strategy, if I have so many elite soldiers and strong generals, block the pontoon bridge, let Hong and Yang directly suffer Zhu Rong in the sea of fire, or feed the Yangtze River Dragon King, it will also be between raising your hands! Hey, the pontoon? I think it's a dead end! ”
Xingzhen slowly stood up with the emperor's hand, opened her phoenix eyes and said to the emperor with a smile: "There is no perfect thing in the world, people just try to do it, the first thing that matters to this traitor is not property, or the city, but people!" As long as people are not coerced, if we kill one of them, he will have one less, he will be weaker, and we will be stronger! The emperor nodded again and again, "Lan'er, what you said is reasonable," the emperor suddenly stared at Lan Concubine, "Then you said that the soldiers in front, how should I reward them?" ”
Xingzhen wanted to open her mouth and say her thoughts directly, but when she saw Emperor Xianfeng staring at her with a smile, her heart sank, and she changed her breath: "How can I recognize the people and concubines outside, and the concubines can't tell what the commanders and generals are fighting these official positions, why did the emperor come to ask the concubine about this woman in the palace." "The military and political personnel themselves must not interfere indiscriminately now!
Emperor Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen for a while, laughed, and sat back on the kang, "Where are you still an ignorant woman in the palace," the emperor said here and glanced at the noble Li standing on the ground, "The reward outside is from the palace and the military planes, is it, in this palace, Chuxiu Palace and the top and bottom of the palace are rewarded for half a year, and you," Emperor Xianfeng pointed to the noble Li, "This song is very good, and the new jade bracelet in Myanmar this year will reward you with a pair," the noble Li smiled and thanked him busily. "The most important Lan'er, you! I want to reward you and make you a concubine! ”
Li Guiren's expression changed greatly, Xingzhen was taken aback, how could she put herself on the fire at this time, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said sincerely: "The concubine will not dare to receive the decree until she dies!" ”
The emperor sat on the kang and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Are you still not happy to be crowned as a concubine? You get up and speak. ”
Xingzhen got up, and she didn't go to the kang, so she stood on the ground and bowed her head and replied to the emperor's words: "The concubine has not yet entered the palace and has been crowned a Lan nobleman, and the first time she has been served, she was immediately sealed as a concubine, and now there is no heir, and she has no merit, so I really dare not accept the concubine!" ”
"How can it be said that it has nothing to do with the society? Now that's the big thing! Without your scheme, can this king of the West bestow his head? How did the 30,000 rebels die, can this Wuchang military and civilians be saved! ”
"Although what the emperor said is extremely true, how can this matter become the reason for the concubine?" Emperor Xianfeng was speechless, Xingzhen stepped forward and pressed Emperor Xianfeng's hands, and said in a low voice: "The concubine knows that the emperor has a concubine in his heart, so she is already satisfied." ”
