33. Treaty of Tientsin (4)

In March, the spring in the north is full of color, the emperor in order to mediate the mood, after the Shangsi Festival, he ordered to drive the Old Summer Palace, the magnolia in the garden is just right, there is a Qianlong imitation brother kiln rain over the sky on the kang on the kang of the Qinzheng Palace, the purple and white magnolia is inserted on it, trembling and towering, revealing the fragrance of the refreshing people, the queen is in the desk to approve the folding, the emperor drank a sip of the new dragon well, under the window lattice by the bright spring light, leisurely turn the book. ()

"Your Majesty," Xingzhen stopped the pen in her hand, remembering Tan Tingxiang's mission, under his own persuasion, the emperor finally gave up the unrealistic idea of placing the mediation task with Britain and France on the American and Russian ministers, but although Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, was a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, he did not have the title of minister of the imperial mission, "Tan Tingxiang went to Tianjin, but there was no minister of the imperial mission."

Emperor Xianfeng, who was in Zhuangzi, raised his head, rubbed his neck, and had an indifferent look on his face, "It's okay, Su Shun said to me, the side affairs should be handled by the ministers, I think so, if I entrust Tan Tingxiang to the errand of his minister, wouldn't it be too human, hum, I haven't settled the matter with them in Shandong and Guangdong, I am magnanimous, and I can't have no bottom line," Emperor Xianfeng stood up, "I have already asked him to deal with the ministers of the four countries, and there will be a good result in the near future, not to mention, Monk Greenqin is very well prepared in Dagukou." It doesn't matter if this minister has or not," the emperor moved his body, and Ruyi presented a stack of folds in front of Xianfeng, Xianfeng impatiently pointed to the queen sitting on the edge of the throne, and Ruyi hurriedly handed the fold to the queen's side. Fan'er took the fold, put it on top of the imperial case, and handed the approved fold to Ruyi, who opened the curtain and walked out to take it to the internal affairs office.

Just when Ruyi opened the curtain, the sunlight outside the hall shone in, and with the sunshine, a bright song sounded intermittently outside, "Sunny day, sunny day~"

The emperor's ears pricked up. Xingzhen also put aside military affairs for the time being. looked up and looked outside, but through the window lattice, I could only see the sea of flowers outside, except for the little eunuch who was waiting for the emperor's orders outside, I couldn't see half of the idlers.

The singing outside the window seemed to be intermittent. "Peach blossoms are like fire, willows are like smoke~~~" The song is soft. It's fascinating. The emperor could still stay indoors when he heard such a singing, and coughed slightly. said to Xingzhen, "Queen, I will go out and come back in a while." ”

Xingzhen knew well about the emperor's widowhood, but she didn't care, stood up, and said with a smile: "The emperor, please go, the concubine is going to prepare for the silkworm ceremony after approving the excerpt, so I won't come to the emperor to ask for peace." ”

The emperor nodded violently, "It's hard work, I don't have to come here," and when he heard the singing, he hurriedly instructed Yang Qingxi, "Why don't you bring my sedan chair quickly, dead slave, such a good spring, how can you live up to it!" ”

Yang Qingxi hurriedly said yes, "Congratulations to the emperor." Xingzhen bowed, and waited until the emperor came out of the Qinzheng Palace, Fan'er helped Xingzhen up, the singing outside the hall was still melodious, Xingzhen heard "Yes to Shuangfeiyan," couldn't help but hum, Fan'er was indignant, and pulled Xingzhen's sleeve, "Niangniang, it's obvious that it's a fox who wants to seduce the emperor, and you don't speak!" ”

"What do you say, it doesn't matter, the emperor likes it," Xingzhen hummed the song and transferred to the throne, and continued to approve the excerpt, "The emperor just likes to listen to a tune, this palace is the virtuous queen, the virtuous queen will not care about these little things, let's just take care of our own errands," Xingzhen instructed Fan'er, "You let Ruyi bring the fold of the Eight Banners garrison of Zhili and Gyeonggi, yes, that's it, the one in the green sandalwood box, bring it to me and see," Xingzhen opened the fold, came carefully, and instructed Fan'er, "You go and tell Concubine Zhen, don't forget the records of the honor room, today," a helpless but relieved smile appeared on Xingzhen's face, "The emperor is estimated to be always drunk on singing." ”

The singing outside the hall stopped for a while, and then sounded again, and the female voice carried a hint of wish-fulfillment and delicateness, "Sunny day, sunny day." The lakes and mountains reflect the Chinese year, the spring is full of the Old Summer Palace, and the two cranes and two cranes sleep with their necks crossed. Daughter's tears, daughter's tears. The slave is now eighteen years old, and the air is good spring. Who is the companion of the slaves? Who is the companion of the slaves? ”

"Presumptuous!" Monk Greenqin was furious at Wu Yundi, who broke into his handsome tent, "When will it be your turn to talk about this handsome decision!" ”

Wu Yundi shrunk his neck, but he was not knocked down by the anger of the monk king, and still stiffened his neck and said unconvinced, "Dashuai, how can you talk too much under the mark, it's just that some foreigners show off their power outside the mouth of Dagu all day long, and some fishermen's small sampans are fishing at the sea, and they are all played by the hateful British, and then bombarded with artillery, which is really hateful!" ”

Monk Greenqin raised his eyebrows, and looked at the eldest young master of the Han military banner in Beijing with interest, "Yo, when did the eldest young master of the Wujia clan also learn to ask for his life for the people?" Didn't you love to play tricks in Beijing before? ”

Wu Yun Dijun's face flushed, "The mark is just the arrogance of these foreigners, they are rampant and domineering in our Chinese sea, so the mark is here to ask for his life, let the mark go down to the fort, command the brothers to send a few cannons, and let them taste our Qing artillery!" ”

"Confused!" Monk Greenqin shook his head and scolded Wu Yundi loudly, "Don't think that after winning a few battles in the Central Plains, you dare to despise the heroes of the world!" The rebellion can't be compared with the British and French teams, let alone those twisters! Monk Lingqin was half reprimanded, half mentioned, "Our Eight Banners Army, the odds of victory are in the bow and arrow, even if you add artillery, you can compare to the ships that foreigners fly on the sea?!?!?! ”

"You must know that these artillery pieces transported from the south were also bought by foreigners, and they work against the hair, and against the foreigners, maybe they are useless!" Monk Greenqin looked at Wu Yundi, who was still ignorant, and hated that iron could not become steel, "The emperor's will let this king build a fort and prepare fortifications, this is our errand, if it is not for foreigners, we can't fire a single shot!" These are the emperor's exact words. Wu Shoubei, be your own errand, don't worry about other things! ”

Bohai Bay outside Dagukou, northwest wind level 3.

"Tut-tut," Pashali couldn't help but sigh as he took the official document handed over by his entourage, he turned his head and said proudly to the French minister, Glo, "I knew that the emperor of China was extremely cowardly, and at this time, the two most powerful countries in the world with the most advanced fleets in the Far East, the courage to treat us hard has disappeared again!" (To be continued......)

ps: After Jiang Bosheng was dismissed from his official position and returned home, he built a gorgeous and chic garden. When the garden was inaugurated, someone secretly wrote one

The sub-couplet was pasted on the door: "Cause a crooked house, and use up all the money that is corrupt." Jiang Bosheng was extremely embarrassed.
