Yongtong Bridge to the west I don't know how far away in front of a small hill, there is a lonely small temple, the remnants of the monument in front, the withered grass on the mountain gate, and the spider web under the eaves of the temple, I know that this is an abandoned small temple, it is estimated that only some living creatures such as fox squirrels will come here, but this time it was surrounded by a group of guards, barely cleaned up, it can be a little sheltered from the wind and rain, but it startled a lot of pheasants and hares to come out.

A guard hurriedly bypassed the carriage and horse placed in front of the mountain gate, entered the main hall of the small temple, and knelt down on one knee, "Report, the British and French troops have attacked!" ”

The queen, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon with her back to the gate, shook her body and did not speak, Prince Gong, who was standing behind the queen, waved her hand, asked the guards to step back, crossed her hands, put down in front of her, and did not say much.

The teapot burning with branches in the temple was gurgling and boiling, An Dehai hurriedly lifted the teapot up, poured two bowls of tea on the incense table, retreated out of the temple, turned the root of the wall, lowered his head, and was distracted by a nest of ants on the ground who were hurriedly moving, An Dehai was a little afraid of this taciturn senior, but he was not in the court, and there were fewer rules, and An Dehai let go, "Father-in-law, what about ants!?" ”

De Ling nodded silently and raised his head, the sky was dark, and there was a huge dark cloud surging towards this side in the east, Xiao Anzi asked again, "Father-in-law De, you say, can we win this time?" ”

De Ling shook his head, "I don't know, don't ask more, Niang Niang is upset, but she doesn't show it at all, I don't know if I can win, no matter what, it's not our turn to worry about these things, let's just take care of our own errands." ”

As soon as De Ling finished speaking, a faint thunderous sound sounded in the east, and a rumbling rumble came from a distance.

The tea in the tea bowl poured by Andehai was steaming, and suddenly, the calm tea rippled, and a little dust shook under the window eaves. Prince Gong's ears moved, and the muffled voice came over. "The side is at war."

"There's no need to worry about it here, it's useless to worry about it, Sixth Master, please sit down." Prince Gong sat cross-legged on a futon behind the queen, who was still wearing a red dragon robe, and Xingzhen raised her hand and picked up a cup of tea on the incense table. After taking a small sip, my dry throat finally got some moisture. Not so uncomfortable, Xingzhen put down the teacup, turned her head, and glanced at the prince, "Sixth master, this palace is too willful, I'm afraid it's going to drag you down." ”

Prince Gong was originally full of incomprehension and complaints, but was swept away by the queen's apologetic eyes, and he couldn't say anything at once. "What is the queen mother's words, it is the duty of a slave to serve the mother," blurted out such a sentence, Prince Gong almost slapped himself twice, and said such groveling words by himself?

Prince Gong's face was hot, and he quickly explained again, as if he was talking to himself. comforted himself, "I'm just a prince who is not valued by the emperor, although I am the son of Emperor Xuanzong, hehe, it's better than a broken clan, and now I have this minister." I know in my heart, but it was pushed out by the emperor, as Niangniang said, if the situation fails, I still have to go home and pick up the child. ”

"Although the emperor has no rights, he is still obedient and instigated, in the end, it is because the emperor can only have a powerful prime minister by his side. This dynasty is similar to the former Ming system, the former dynasty is a scholar, this dynasty is the minister of the military aircraft department, although there is no name of the prime minister, but there is the fact of the prime minister, with you, he will naturally not be able to take his turn, so this is a battle for power, so this is why the emperor does not take you to Rehe, "Xingzhen stood up, under the shabby curtain, looked at the mutilated Buddha statue, the Buddha statue head is incomplete, the left hand is holding a bottle-like magic weapon on the chest, and the right hand is holding a wishful gesture, it should be Guanyin Master," In fact, this is also the reason why Bengong and the Sixth Master can get closer, because we have a common enemy. ”

Prince Gong was silent, and the queen said too directly, "The Buddha Incense Pavilion of Qin'an Hall is dedicated to the Buddha, but this palace doesn't believe in these gods and Buddhas, do you know why, Sixth Master?" ”

"I don't know."

"Westerners enter churches to confess, and Chinese enter temples to bribe. Go to church to listen to sermons for free, confess souls, and listen to persuasion and teaching; When you enter the temple, you spend money to ask for Buddha and beg for promotion and fortune. **The bigger, the more demanding, this palace is a person in the red dust, and naturally there are**, but this palace believes that it is more than oneself, and does not believe in gods and Buddhas. Xingzhen also wanted to relieve the pressure of gambling with her own future and fate, so she could only keep talking, "What this palace wants is too great, so," Xingzhen slowly knelt down, "I have to believe in the Buddha again, thinking that it would be good if the Buddha could fulfill the wish of the main palace." ”

I took the trust of my own emperor, my own safety, the future of this country, and the peaceful situation in the next ten years, to carry out the biggest chess game in this world, and stirred China, Britain, and France into this huge chessboard, I can't lose, I can't afford to lose! If I lose, I can only go to Rehe in disgrace, accept the emperor's helplessness, accept Su Shun's ridicule, and that doomous fate!

Wu Yundi, Li Hongzhang, your victory or defeat is not only related to your own official position and future, but also to the future of this country and my status.

The artillery of the British and French troops shot in front of the Qing army, but there was still some distance from the cavalry of the Qing army, the foreigners were testing the distance, a few horses were frightened, ran out of the formation, a few knights couldn't pull it, pulled out their waist knives and chopped off the horse's head, blood was sprinkled all over the front of the formation, he ran back into the formation, and rode on the spare horses, Wu Yundi waved his hand, the herald blew the horn, the cavalry rushed forward, turned to the left and right, and separated like a tide, revealing the artillery in a row behind the back, The artillery was pointed at the British and French troops on the other side of the Bali Bridge.

Zhang Shusheng shouted loudly that the artillery was ready to fire, "How about the artillery for these foreign devils to try!" You know, these are all artillery gunpowder sold to us by foreigners! Hahaha, it feels really cool to treat others in the way of others! Launch! Launch! A surprise for foreigners! We also have very powerful artillery in the Qing Dynasty! ”

The artillery of the Qing army did not show weakness, and fired angry artillery fire at the British camp in turn, boom boom! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
