Thirty-one, age in the dragon snake (3)
Posthumously sealed Zeng Guofan as the county king's will, the world is in an uproar, I didn't expect to live for a long time, more than 100 years have not seen a different surname of the king, let alone the Han king, the previous one of the Han kings, but also belong to the three feudatories of the Kangxi Dynasty, but these three are chaotic parties, naturally not mentioned, the old Hunan army was originally very resentful of the Zeng Guofan's high and thin rewards, and now the posthumous seal is naturally compensation, although it is late, but in the end it is also the king, the word "Zhuang Xian" is also a beautiful word, Zeng Mansion is grateful to the whole country, Zeng Guofan mourned after his death, To a scholar to the slaughter, and after the death of the king, to be a good man, good beginnings and good ends, the merit is comparable to Zhuge and Wang Meng, can be said to be the first proud person in ancient and modern times, his wife Ouyang is still there, it is called Zhuang Xian Princess, his eldest son Zeng Jize descended to inherit the title is a first-class duke, and the second son Zeng Jihong Jiaen inherited the first-class marquis. Hunan people in Beijing, the highest official title, must be Hu Linyi, so all the funeral is presided over by Hu Linyi, Jiang Zhongyuan, Liu Rong, Yang Shusheng and other old Hunan army in Beijing, all to the Zeng Mansion to mourn, look at the gem top, between the rubbing between the eyes are the peacock lion and other first-class civil and military officials to make up, the world knows the great power of Zeng Guofan.
"The holy grace is vast," Zeng Jize rubbed his eyes and arched his hand into the air, "Your Majesty can only repay the grace of heaven if you have liver and brains." On this day, the king of alcohol came to sacrifice on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and after a salute, Zeng Jize said.
"Zhuang Xianjun Wang Xian passed away, Zeng Gong, you don't have to be too sad," King Jun comforted, "It's good that you can think like this, the emperor originally wanted to come in person, but because he was not in good health, you know, he was still out of joy, and he couldn't stand the wind, so he ordered me to come on this trip." β
"Yes, yes." Zeng Jize and Zeng Jihong sent the king of alcohol to the flower hall to offer tea, Zeng Jize is known for his diplomatic talents, Zeng Jihong has a deep study of mathematics, both of them are on an errand in the prime minister's yamen, but they are not as outstanding as their father's achievements. Counting up, Zeng Fu is a member of the Westernization Party of the whole family. "I don't know how the emperor is doing? My father was very worried when he died. β
"It's been a very good few days," said King Alcohol, "the pulse is stable, and the diet and daily life are regular, so I guess it's going to be good." I'm also very afraid, before the Fu Jin in my house entered the palace to ask for peace, and happened to encounter this thing, so I hurriedly went to the Lama Temple and Chaotianguan to pray for blessings, and I heard that the cloud and dust view is also very effective. When is it necessary to burn incense and worship the Buddha again. β
Before he said a word, the relatives of the king of alcohol ran in, and he didn't care about playing thousands, and said a few words eagerly in the ear of the king of alcohol county, and the king of alcohol county changed his face greatly, and stood up with a brush, and the bowl in his hand was thrown on the table, and he was unstable. Tea filled the entire table, "There's something going on in the palace." I won't accompany you! β
The king of alcohol walked out quickly, the Zeng brothers hurriedly sent out of the door, the king of alcohol got into the carriage, and no longer the majesty and calmness of the king of the county in the past, he urged the coachman in a loud voice, "Hurry up." Fast into the palace! β
The carriage quickly arrived at the Xihua Gate, and the king of the alcohol county got off the carriage with an arrow step, and quickly entered the Xihua Gate, and did not dare to trot in the big inside, and walked all the way to the front of the Yangxin Palace. The Imperial Minister, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the masters of the Hongde Hall had all arrived in front of the palace, and the King of Alcohol County grabbed Jing Shou, "What the hell is going on?" I didn't really hear it outside, so I hurriedly entered the palace. β
"The emperor fainted after the morning," Jing Shou said worriedly, "I don't know what's going on, it's fine a few days ago, and the imperial doctor is inside." β
"What about the Queen Mother?"
"It's in there, too."
King Alcohol was shocked, "This smallpox is contagious, how can the Queen Mother go in?" β
"Who's to say it isn't? But no one can stop it," Jing Shou said in a low voice, "The queen was originally inside, but she suddenly fainted again, so please go back to the palace to rest first, and all the concubines have already gone to serve the queen." β
"It was good a few days ago, why is it like this today?" King Alcohol said anxiously, "The emperor is not in good health, why is the queen also sick?" Fortunately, there are still two queen mothers in the palace, otherwise what would be done! β
"I don't know what it is, today is the people of Hongde Hall who are serving," Jing Shou pointed to the people of Hongde Palace, "Wang Shi read into the Xinuan Pavilion, I don't know what to say, the emperor was extremely happy when he had lunch, he used an extra bowl of rice, and he fainted before he took a nap in the afternoon." β
Prince Xuan listened to the two of them talking silently, and when he heard Jing Shou finish speaking, he turned around and whispered, "Now it's really over, Emperor Wenzong is the emperor's blood, if there is anything unbearable, this harem has not given birth to a dragon fetus, but it is really a scene where the sky is falling apart!" β
King Alcohol stomped his feet, "Oh, my good fifth brother, don't talk about these things at this juncture!" You're not taboo?! β
After a while, the imperial doctors came out, and the Empress Dowager Cixi and Ci'an immediately walked out, the Empress Dowager Ci'an wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, the Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes were red, but she didn't cry, everyone hurriedly asked for peace, and the Empress Dowager nodded, "Get up, where is Wang Qingqi?" β
Everyone lined up and left it to Wang Qingqi, "Weichen is here." β
"How did you serve the Emperor in the morning?" The Queen Mother's voice was calm and tight, and she couldn't hear any joy or anger.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, I first read a paragraph of "Zhuangzi", and then accompanied the emperor to eat some dumplings, and gossiped for a while, nothing else."
"Yes." The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Since the emperor likes you to study, you have to be an errand with your heart." β
"I don't know how the emperor's dragon body is?"
The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the people with different faces, and closed her eyes tiredly, "The emperor is just a little dizzy, the imperial doctor said that it is not in the way, it is about the sadness of Zeng Guofan's death, so my mind is a little trance these days, since all the ministers are here, then I will say it directly, these days, don't tell the emperor anything, in case the emperor is overjoyed and angry, if there is any mistake, no one can afford it, Chen Shengwen, do you understand?" The Queen Mother asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the slave knows."
"Everything will be said when the emperor is ready!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said resolutely, "You are the same, understand? β
"Huh."
"CΓ©zanne, you go and take a look at the queen, her body is definitely not bad, but she feels uncomfortable, you are an elder, persuade her more, let her rest assured, don't always drill the horns, if she is also sick, who will the emperor call to serve?"
The ministers retreated and didn't mention it, but Prince Gong looked at the Heart Cultivation Hall worriedly, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who was not speaking on the side, stepped forward and whispered in the ear of the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Do you want to let them continue to serve in the harem?" β
"Go on," the Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes, "the emperor has no heirs yet, so everything is prepared." (To be continued.) )
