11. The plan of discord (5)

Yang Qingxi's nephew is different from Yang Qingxi, who is white and chubby, with a calm face, his body bent slightly to listen to An Dehai's instructions, and listened to the itinerary clearly, the nephew of the Yang family thought about it in his heart, and replied: "If you go back to Father-in-law, if you are not in a hurry, let's ride a horse to Dezhou first-Zhili is still very quiet here, and when you get to Dezhou to change boats, go all the way south to Qinghe, and then change horses, and go to Luzhou Mansion along the official road by the Huai River, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Anzi hugged Yang Qingxi's nephew, "What father-in-law, eldest brother of the Yang family, if you don't dislike it, just call Brother An, Brother Yang, your uncle is the person I respect the most in the palace, we should be closer, don't dare to ask Brother Yang's name?" ”

"Oh, then I'll be disrespectful, my name is Yang Jiusong, everyone calls me Lao Jiu, and Brother An calls me Lao Jiu."

"Brother Jiu, let's be on a boat this time, the two guards outside are escorting us, they will do the work of fighting and killing, if there is anything to be discussed by our brothers, or Brother Jiu is experienced, and he is more active about things outside, so he has to worry about Brother Jiu."

"Where is Brother An," Yang Jiusong hurriedly humbled him, "I still want Brother An to take the president, you see, it's not early today, why don't we leave immediately?" ”

"Okay, call those two guards, let's set off immediately, and celebrate the New Year in Texas Mansion!"

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor and empress gave a banquet to the concubines of the six palaces in the Qianqing Palace, and the second half of the fourth year of Xianfeng was quite unhappy, and the empress dowager died. Prince Gong was deposed, the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was broken, the governor of Liangjiang was killed, the governor of Jiangsu was killed, and the smoke of Jiangdong was everywhere. The treasury was empty, and it took all the strength of the whole country to barely maintain the expenditure of the war in the south of the Yangtze River, but fortunately, Su Shun sharpened his knife and cleared some parasites of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and disregarded the danger of finances and made a large sum of fifty. I've heard about the year. It's going to be a hundred, a thousand dollars, so stormy, the emperor really has no intention of having fun in this big festival, after the routine three rounds of wine. The emperor returned to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts and lived alone. The concubines and concubines of the palace were all dispersed.

Concubine Li caught up with Xingzhen in front of the Yuehua Gate. After saluting, he said with a hint of grievance and tears: "Queen Mother, you want to be the master of the concubine." ”

Xingzhen asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"When the concubine's Ama went to court a few days ago." Concubine Li glanced at the side and there were no outsiders, "I accidentally bumped into Su Shun, then Su Shun turned his face and participated in a book in front of our emperor, the emperor was a little annoyed, and issued an edict to apply for it, and the concubine's Ama was anxious and ashamed after returning home, and fell ill all of a sudden, and the concubine was so anxious that she didn't dare to go to the emperor, so she had to come and ask Niangniang to help the concubine." ”

Xingzhen held Concubine Li except for Yuehuamen, the auspicious dress on her body was really heavy, "Don't worry," Xingzhen said, "What kind of character does our emperor have, sister, don't you know yet?" The anger will go down for a while, and there is nothing to do, not to mention that the emperor only issued an order to apply for punishment, and it is not a demotion and exile, Amitabha," Xingzhen saw that Concubine Li's face turned white, "Bah, it's time to slap your mouth, it's okay, you can be relieved, tell you Ama to be relieved, recently the emperor has been angry about the affairs in the south, and you Ama hit the muzzle!" "Or because Prince Gong's affairs have been implicated, it was originally an excellent diplomatic agreement, and Qinghai was also promoted because of this, but the emperor had Prince Gong, and even took the people who had been on an errand with Prince Gong to see it, and he had to attack again if he caught it, but he couldn't say this to Concubine Li.

"As soon as Niangniang said this, the concubine's heart was steady," Concubine Li patted her chest and said with relief, the gorgeous and heavy clothes couldn't hide Concubine Li's round chest, Xingzhen secretly swallowed her saliva, "It's all to blame for that Su Shun!" Concubine Li was indignant, "The shelf is so big, and the concubine's father is also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he is just a scholar of the household department, but he just relies on the emperor's favor, and he actually doesn't give face to his colleagues." ”

"Alright, sister." Xingzhen stopped Concubine Li's complaints, took Concubine Li's hand, and whispered, "If you say too much, you will lose, this Su Shun is still the Minister of Internal Affairs, if there are not a few of his henchmen in this palace, it will be really a strange talk, be quiet." ”

Concubine Li looked left and right, stuck out her tongue, "Listen to Niangniang." ”

"You don't have to worry, wait a few days, the emperor is busy with things that should be busy in the first month, you take the eldest princess to the palace to find the emperor, the emperor will not ignore you for the sake of the eldest princess, tell your father to rest assured, how can he be an errand if he is so timid," Xingzhen joked, "In a few days, the foreigner will have to change the contract and tell him to take care of his body, and the palace still wants him to deal with Yingyi." ”

"Thank you for the cultivation of the queen," Concubine Li was very happy, and hurriedly helped Xingzhen to walk towards Chuxiu Palace, "The emperor has been really weird recently, and he gets angry at every turn, and what," Concubine Li turned her head and looked, and the palace people followed behind, and her words were not afraid of being heard by the palace people, so she said softly, "There is more deer blood than a few days ago, and the concubine is really worried."

Xingzhen nodded, "Don't talk about you, the palace is also worried, but I persuaded the emperor, but the emperor agreed in front of him, but he turned his back or left it behind, there is no way, you are the old man in the palace, now that the New Year is over, it is time to draft again, it is our duty to make the emperor happy, don't overdo it." ”

"The concubine listens to the queen's mother."

Li Hongzhang is arguing with the northern Anhui military preparation road according to the inspection envoy, it has been the fifth year of Xianfeng, Li Hongzhang wants to solve part of the silver salary of the regiment training in the first month of the new year, but the soldier is also used to being an old oilman who is used to being an official, the clouds and mountains are covered by fog, and the Tai Chi pusher has played over and over again, but he refuses to let go.

"Lord Li, this official also has the difficulties of this official, Luzhou, Chuzhou, Yingzhou, Fengyang, these places all rely on my yamen to transfer military food, you also know, the army of the monk is also stationed in Yingzhou and Bozhou, if the turnover is not timely, I will lose my head!"

After talking patiently and with the slippery soldier Beidao for a while, he saw his personal entourage probing his brain outside the flower hall, Li Hongzhang frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, someone has come to the capital." The little servant's respectful forked hand replied under the eaves outside the flower hall.

Li Hongzhang looked at the meaning of the little guy, and bowed slightly towards the Northern Anhui Military Preparation Dao Platform, "Oh, it was the father of the lower official who sent a letter, a letter from Gao Tang, Shaoquan didn't dare not go to Feng'an first, please sit for a while." ”

"No need, there are many things going on in this official yamen, let's talk about it another day, Lord Li."

"Shaoquan Gong sent the adult." Li Hongzhang sent the envoy of the Northern Anhui Military Reserve Road out of the second gate, turned around and asked the little guy, "Where is the person from Beijing?" ”

"The person who came refused to say, but the old butler looked at the two arrogant people, and there was a kid, who was estimated to be the head of the palace, and the housekeeper had already arranged for him to go to the back."

"Well, I'll see you right away." (To be continued......)
