33. Treaty of Tientsin (IX)

When the queen arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the military ministers had all dispersed, the spring night in May was not cool, the oblique moon was hazy on the towering cornices of the Qinzheng Palace, a strange and heavy shadow appeared on the ground, the imperial guard in front of the palace stood solemnly with a waist knife, the candlelight in the Xingzhen Palace, Yang Qingxi came out heavily to salute, "Queen Mother," Yang Qingxi's voice faintly cried, "Go and see the long live lord." ()”

"Where is the emperor?" Xingzhen spoke calmly, and Fan'er, who had always been the most jumpy on the side, didn't speak, just held the lit palace lamp.

"In the East Warm Pavilion, everyone has been driven out." Yang Qingxi said aggrievedly, the red marks on his face were clearly visible under the moonlight, "Long live the master who had a slave just now." ”

"You go and put ice on it, don't let people see it, there is a palace here, called Ruyi and Shuangxi are waiting," Xingzhen looked up at the moon in the sky, and a few dark clouds not far away slowly filled over, engulfing the moonlight, "Fan'er, let's go in." ”

"Yes."

Xingzhen slowly walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, only to see Emperor Xianfeng sitting on the kang, the pavilion just lit a bean-sized oil lamp, the rest of the place was as black as ink, only the emperor's bright yellow clothes and his pale face shone slightly in the swaying lights, Xianfeng heard the movement, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Xingzhen, no movement, just said, "The queen is here." ”

"Yes, the concubine is here," Xingzhen saluted, and the emperor did not speak, but stood up on his own, waved his hand to let the sails be lit, and several candles with ambergris incense were lit one after another. The inside of the Dongnuan Pavilion became brighter, and the emperor did not get angry, but frowned slightly, and closed his eyes again.

"Your Majesty," Xingzhen motioned for Fan'er to go out, leaving her alone, and she didn't sit down, but stood on the ground and spoke to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, are you bowing your head to foreigners like this?" Xingzhen asked unceremoniously, without the slightest tactfulness and kindness in the past.

"What else?" The emperor was not surprised. The tone was gloomy. It can be seen that he has lost confidence in the situation, "Although Dagukou has been defeated, after all, Tianjin has not been lost, and it will probably be able to fight." But. The Emperor's eyes were still closed. It's just that his eyebrows trembled violently, "I just forgot about Cao Yun!" Now Jinling is in the hands of rebellion, and can only be shipped to Beijing. Now that the British have demonstrated, if there are no more peace talks, they will blockade Caoyun, so that Beijing will inevitably be in chaos, and I can't help but be afraid when I think of such a result, so that it will become the story of the first emperor again," the emperor slowly calmed down, looking disheartened, "what else?" I can only listen to them, what's the matter, Queen, do you still have a way? ”

Xingzhen did not answer the question that the emperor was slightly dissatisfied with, neither humble nor arrogant, standing on the ground and talking about other things, "Back then, Gou Jian was defeated by Wu Wangfucha, and the Yue Kingdom was almost completely destroyed. The king of Yue fed the horses to the husband, took off the shoes for the husband, and served the husband to go to the toilet. The three of them were ridiculed and humiliated. In order to restore the country, Gou Jian stubbornly endured Wu Guo's mental and ** torture against him, and was more respectful and tame to his husband. After Gou Jian returned to China, he never forgot the humiliation of Wu Guo. When he sleeps, he lies on the messy firewood and grass, and he can't sleep peacefully every night, and when he opens his eyes, he will work hard to take revenge as soon as possible! Gou Jian hung a bitter gall in his house, and tasted the bitter taste at every meal, reminding himself: I can't forget the experience of suffering and shame in Wu State! The defeat of the soldier's family is unexpected, Bao shame and shame is a man, the emperor, now Gyeonggi is not lost, Tianjin is still in the hands of the monk king, the world's major events, there is still a chance to do, if the situation is difficult, how can it be compared to Liu Bang was chased by Xiang Yu and had to leave Emperor Han Hui and the princess? If there is nothing to be done, can the emperor compare to Goujian, the king of Yue! Xingzhen's voice became louder and louder, and the deep meaning in her words shocked Emperor Xianfeng to stare at Xingzhen with wide eyes.

"Queen?"

"Now Jiangnan has been trapped by the rebellion, and peace can be expected," Xingzhen still didn't care, speaking loudly, her voice reverberating back and forth in the silent Dongnuan Pavilion, "If you put it aside for the time being, several armies can go north to King Qin during the day!" Even if foreigners block Caoyun, so what? Foreigners can be sealed for a while, but they can't be sealed for a lifetime! As long as the emperor is lying on his salary and tastes his courage, the whole country is united in fighting against foreigners, how can he not worry about defeating foreigners? Even if the emperor wants to negotiate peace, he can't be so depressed, negotiating peace is not a land reparation, if there is an alliance of Tanyuan, it is also an excellent way out! ”

"Now that the new army has been almost trained, if the foreigners gain another inch, and fight the rebellion in the south to be unsettled, they will also burn the jade with the foreigners in the north! The army of the monk king was not good at naval warfare in the first place, and now it is not firmly holding the city of Tianjin? Tianjin is not lost, why not be afraid of the capital in the way! Hehe, when the time comes, on the ground, I don't know who will win and who will lose! Xingzhen's eyes widened, and she encouraged the emperor in a tempting voice, "Where there is a will, there is a way, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all; The hard-working people do not live up to the sky, and the salary tastes the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. Your Majesty, how can the Holy Son of Heaven be discouraged when he encounters a slight setback, when the Holy Ancestor Kangxi Emperor was in the rebellion of the three feudatories, the entire south was erosive, he was still calm and calm, between the clouds and rain, calmly calm, the emperor This is your example! ”

The emperor's eyes widened more and more, and his face became more and more ruddy, "Yes, the queen is very right! If it weren't for you, the queen, I would really have to endure the foreigners anymore! Emperor Xianfeng stood up, didn't have time to put on his boots, went down to the ground, and took Xingzhen's hand with both hands, "Not bad!" It is this truth that where there is a will, there is a way, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all; The hard-working people do not live up to the sky, and the salary tastes the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. The emperor muttered and repeated, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, "This can be described as a golden and jade good word!" Queen, tell me, what should we do? ”

"Since the emperor decrees to negotiate peace, then let's follow the peace," Xingzhen pulled the emperor back to the kang and sat up opposite the emperor, "First, no land will be cut, no compensation; second, it is sufficient to compensate for the losses of the Yarrow and Xilin teaching plans, and not to compensate for military expenses; Third, sign contracts with the four countries separately and make breakthroughs in each one! The concubine thinks that the other three kingdoms are just that, this Russian wolf ambition, to think about the territory in the north of our Qing Dynasty, coveted for a long time, can not concede three points with it, the United States is to get a piece of the pie, it is easy to discuss, now Tianjin has not been lost, we will not be without support for negotiations, the army of the monk is our backing! Xingzhen talked eloquently, "Trade is easy to discuss, but this minister is stationed in Beijing, I don't know what the emperor means?" (To be continued......)

ps: There is a private school gentleman who specializes in reading other words, and the king of Hades wants to punish him for being a dog, and the gentleman resolutely asks to be a female dog, and asks him what the reason is.

He said: "It is not necessary to get money (to be temporary), and it is not necessary to avoid disaster (when it encounters disaster).
