Speaking of which, this is also a troublesome matter, a few days ago, Wang Maoyin, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, asked Emperor Xianfeng to live in the palace, not to go to the Old Summer Palace, Emperor Xianfeng read the dragon face was furious, in the name of "unfounded words, lead the line into the play", Wang Maoyin handed over to the ministry. Soon after, Xue Minggao, the imperial history of Fujian Province, saw the repair of the wall of the Old Summer Palace, and thought that Emperor Xianfeng was going to live in the garden again. Emperor Xianfeng was furious when he saw it, and the cabinet issued an edict to refute it: "The Old Summer Palace, this series of holy constitutions, should be followed...... At the beginning of my emperor's reign (referring to Emperor Jiaqing), it was appropriate for Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu to make trouble. Sacred Heart Awe. How can I look up to the depths? If there is a foolish person who does not admonish him, he shall be punished severely......

Emperor Xianfeng moved out of the ancestral system to defend himself, in order to block all remarks that prevented him from going to the Old Summer Palace. In order to kill a chicken and show the monkey, he ordered Xue Minggao to be demoted from the supervision of the imperial history of Fujian Province to the general supervision of the imperial history, and handed it over to the ministry.

The drunken woman has always been a pursuit of ordinary people. But all ordinary people know that if they are addicted to this, they will not die well.

"The ministry discussed and asked Wang Maoyin to give office, and Xue Minggao went out to Lin'an Mansion to serve as the prefect of Jianshui County." This is not the Lin'an of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but the Lin'an of the border of Yunnan Province, which is 108,000 miles away from Hangzhou, and is a very dangerous place.

"Maybe I'm just panicking because of the restraints in the palace, so I want to clean up the garden for a few days." The Emperor nodded, signaling that he was satisfied with the punishment of the two. "Wang Maoyin is old, let him take the title of the squire of the military department, lest someone say that I treat the old minister harshly, then Xue Minggao will leave Beijing immediately and will not be allowed to stay."

Xingzhen responded, and the eldest brother looked at the purple cloud golden dragon sachet on the emperor's waist and was fiddling with it, "It's not a big deal today, only this Zeng Guofan has a fold, saying that he fought with Li Xiucheng and Chen Yu. Zeng Guofan suffered a loss. Retreat to Tongling. Xingzhen handed the fold to Emperor Xianfeng.

The emperor frowned and took the fold, "This Zeng Guofan is also exaggerated and cannot be used, and he has just appointed the governor of Jiangxi. He doesn't want to reciprocate. Instead, the army was defeated? Take a look. How many soldiers and horses were lost? Emperor Xianfeng's brows became more and more wrinkled, "I was robbed of grain, grass and silver again!" The emperor threw the fold aside and snorted coldly. He was very obedient, the army was not seriously damaged, and he was robbed of grain, grass and silver salary! Does he know that what the imperial court is most afraid of now is this collection of grain and grass! ”

The emperor complained, and had to cheer up to deal with it, "Okay, let Su Shun have a headache, and when he calls up, he will discuss this matter together, and he will be punished and go down, and now he can't waste it anymore!" Empress," the emperor turned his words and softened his tone, "This can only be like this, tell the household department to raise it quickly, although the Jiangbei camp is broken, but the Jiangnan camp is still there, what do you see?" ”

Xingzhen sat on the emperor's couch and quietly helped the emperor massage her calves, "Concubine, look at the momentum, this rebellious momentum is declining, now the five kings of Shouyi died two at once, and the last one left with a negative spirit, and now only Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng are left to support it, so the two of them can only solve the Jiangbei camp together, and then turn west and attack Zeng Guofan, if Zeng Guofan is defeated again, this Ercheng will inevitably turn around and besiege the Jiangnan camp, if you look at the posture in front of you, this Jiangnan camp will be broken again, Suzhou and Hangzhou are dangerous." ”

"This is the truth," the emperor squinted comfortably, "Although the Jiangbei camp was destroyed, Ke Xianghou did show the prestige of our banner people, and many rebels died in the Stone Buddha Temple, which shows that this large camp in the south and north is still effective," Although the emperor is immersed in the beautiful wines and drinks of songs, dances, operas, and ordinary political affairs, but this military, personnel, and financial power is still held tightly from time to time, so when it comes to the war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xianfeng is still very clear, "Then it can only let Zeng Guofan resist it, and he can't resist it, The camp in the south of the Yangtze River is very dangerous, and Li Hongzhang also wrote a book to go south from Chuzhou and approach Jiangning; Zhang Guoliang must not be a vegetarian, there is always some use outside Jiangning City, indeed, as the queen said, there is no general in this rebellion! ”

Xianfeng took off the sachet and gave it to Zaichun, and the tiger-headed Zaichun played with great interest, "I decreed that He Guiqing, He Chun, and Zhang Guoliang Jiangnan camp will hold on!" The first major achievement is to besiege Jiangning, and if the Jiangnan camp is lost again, I really don't know how to deal with it. ”

Xingzhen knew that the Jiangnan camp in history was broken twice, and finally the regular army of the imperial court was lost in the Jiangnan area, and in desperation, in the early years of Tongzhi, Zeng Guofan was allowed to dominate half of the Jiangnan wall, and the governor of Liangjiang was actually granted, west to Sichuan, east to the sea, all the Zeng Guofan was protected, no one did not use it, and everything that Zeng Guofan needed, nothing was given, which unified the military power and completely destroyed the Taiping Rebellion. Now this person of insight has finally seen the situation in Jiangnan, the generals are different, the military power is not unified, and it is easy to be broken by the rebellion.

Xingzhen was still thinking about the wording, and the emperor saw what the queen was thinking, so he asked, "Empress, what do you think?" ”

Xingzhen came back to her senses, thought about it, and should still say it to the emperor, "Now although He Guiqing is the governor of Liangjiang, he doesn't know anything about soldiers and horses after all," He Guiqing was awarded the right attendant of the military department on the 13th day of the leap month of the first year of Xianfeng, and on December 14, he was changed to the right attendant of the household department, and he only served as the deputy minister of defense for four months, and he wanted to lead the military horses of the three southeastern provinces to deal with the fierce thieves who had been fighting for several years and traveled to many southeastern provinces. Even people like Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan have grown up step by step in the war, and not everyone can do it, "In the past, they were all in Beijing, and this Jiangnan army, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he can't afford it." Xingzhen said directly, but she was not afraid that the emperor would be unhappy.

"What about you?" Emperor Xianfeng raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, nodded slightly, and asked indifferently.

"It's not that the concubine looks down on He Guiqing, it's just a little worried, if the concubine is worried in vain, it's also excellent." Xingzhen said with a smile, "Your Majesty, let's take a look, if He Guiqing can be used in Changzhou and can keep the Jiangnan camp, the concubines will naturally be in vain." (To be continued......)
