Beijing, Old Summer Palace.
The 800-mile express delivery from Changsha finally delivered the good news of the "Changsha Victory" to the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall at an average speed of 400 miles a day and a night.
Emperor Xianfeng was in a pretty good mood these past two days, and he didn't know if the "Ox Demon King Mooncake" really had miraculous aphrodisiac effects. Anyway, after taking three mooncakes with Nala Shi, Xianfeng's hard work finally bore fruit.
Three days ago, the Imperial Hospital reported great news to him - his beloved Nala was pregnant. For Xianfeng, there was no better news than this.
This shows that he is "ok"! He will become the emperor immediately!
Regardless of whether the child is a brother or a princess, in short, as soon as the news came out, no one in the Four-Nine City said that the emperor was "no". As long as the emperor was "ok", what's the difficulty in giving birth to a son? Immediately find ten more "beauties" "The girl is here to help give birth!"
Therefore, when Xianfeng went to court in the past two days, he was always smiling and smiling, and he was extremely tolerant to his subordinates. The day before yesterday, he even showed great kindness and exempted Xiang Rong and Liu Changqing from being dismissed from their posts - they are now in the Ministry of War. There are the admiral and the commander-in-chief in the file again!
"Your Majesty, a great victory in Changsha! What a great victory!"
The four people Luo Bingzhang, Luo Raodian, Shengbao and Fucheng used a double reporting method of "title book" and "secret fold" to report the victory. The title book was the report from the public channel. First, it went to the military aircraft, and then Pass it to Xianfeng
The secret fold was first sent to the guards and then directly presented to Xianfeng for viewing.
So when the four military ministers Yi?, Qi Junzao, Peng Yunzhang, and Mu Yin ran into the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall with a victory note book and happily shouted "Great Victory", Xianfeng had already taken Luo Bingzhang, Luo Raodian, Shengbao, The four people in Fucheng read the secret documents carefully one by one.
The contents of these four secret documents are all similar, and they all talk about one thing. That is, 90% of the city of Changsha has been recovered by the Qing Dynasty's heavenly troops - rounding it off, that means Changsha has been completely recovered!
All four of them stated in their secret papers that at the time they were writing the papers (not when Xianfeng read the papers), the Hunan governor's Yamen, the Hunan admiral's Yamen, the Hunan chief envoy's Yamen, the Hunan inspector's Yamen, and the Changsha prefecture's Yamen were The most important yamen in Changsha City were all in the hands of the Qing soldiers.
Moreover, these four people also marked the specific time on the fold! It is accurate to "what time and moment". The main one is so accurate, and the four secret folds match up, so there is definitely no fake. .
Now when Xianfeng heard the report from Yi?, Qi Junzao, Peng Yunzhang and Mu Yin, he immediately greeted them with a smile and said: "Pingshen, all Pingshen... give Lao Liu and Qi Junzao a seat."
"twitter!"
The two young eunuchs immediately brought two embroidery piers to Yi? and Qi Junzao.
Yi Xin and Qi Junzao thanked each other and sat down on the embroidered pier with smiles on their faces. Yi Xin also handed a copy of the title book to An Dehai, and asked An Dehai to present it to Xianfeng.
"Okay." Although he will not die, he will no longer be able to show his Dharma appearance!
"Today I received another good news that Changsha was recaptured. It seems that the Bull Demon was really hit hard... It seems that this foreign thing is quite useful. We, the Qing Dynasty, cannot always rest on our laurels. We have to learn what we need to learn. study!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The four military ministers spoke in unison, with respectful and gentle smiles on their faces.
Xianfeng smiled and said: "Luo Bingzhang, Luo Raodian, Shengbao, Fucheng, Zuo Zongtang and others are all meritorious ministers!" "The emperor is wise!"
Yi?, Qi Junzao, Peng Yunzhang, and Mu Yin continued to speak in unison.
Xianfeng also felt that he was a "sage" and smiled and nodded, agreeing. He added: "Since they are all heroes, then their respective punishments should be withdrawn... Zuo Zongtang followed Jiang Zhongyuan's example. Let’s make an alternate prefect of Hubei.”
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
The few military ministers below still shouted "Sheng Ming" in unison, with admiration on their faces and didn't say a word. Well, Xianfeng was kept in the dark, these guys are not that confused.
At this time, if you say too much, you will be wrong!
Xianfeng saw that the opinions of his subordinates were consistent with his, and of course he was quite satisfied. After thinking for a while, he finally asked a question: "Luo Bingzhang has been dismissed as the governor of Hunan. If the punishment is to be removed, he should continue to be in office. Then Zhang Liangji what to do?
Since the emperor had asked the question, the adults naturally could not reply with "The Emperor's Holy Ming". Qi Zao, the most senior among the four military commanders, thought about it for a while and replied, "Zhang Liangji is a capable minister that Lin Wenzheng has praised..." Now that Cheng Zicai’s governor of Huguang has been dismissed, why not let him become the governor of Huguang?”
"The minister seconded the proposal." "The servant seconded the proposal." "The servant seconded the proposal."
The four military planes all agreed to fish out Cheng Wei - he was a generous and good official.
"Then let Zhang Liangji be the governor of Huguang." Xianfeng nodded, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Xianfeng then tapped the table with his fingers and muttered: "Now we are waiting for the good news from Sai Shang'a and Seng Gelinqin! If they can win... no, as long as they can draw, then the Cantonese bandits will The peak of Ni's rebellion is almost over! Well, let's send another clear edict to Sai Shang'a and praise him. He also deserves a share of the credit for regaining the lost territory in Changsha!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
They all said in unison again - everyone knows the truth, but Xianfeng, the only one who is still in the dark, is the wise one!...
Changsha, Chaozongmen Wharf.
"Whose house is this?"
When a large boat that Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang were riding on docked at the Chao Zongmen pier, Archangel Luo was suddenly surprised by a small house placed on the heavily guarded pier. A middle-aged man in his thirties who still retained his charm. Xu Niang stepped on the springboard and boarded Luo Yaoguo's ship with a smile. Su Sanniang's ship did not kowtow to Luo Yaoguo, but fisted her fist: "The angel is four thousand years old, Deputy Manager Su, the King of Heaven, and King Nan have invited you.
As she spoke, she pointed to the "little house".
"Is that the king's sedan chair?" Luo Yaoguo was surprised, "It looks much bigger!"
Bian Sanniang smiled and said, "This was newly built by the King of Heaven when he was in Daozhou. It has a bedroom, a study room, and a living room. It's very spacious!" It's also a sedan with two bedrooms and one living room!
Bian Sanniang said again: "The angel is four thousand years old, Deputy Manager Su, don't call him the King of Heaven, King Nan has been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, she made a "please" gesture, then walked in front and led the way, leading Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang to a small ladder in front of the sedan, and then knelt down.
Luo Yaoguo looked around and found a large group of people kneeling around the sedan. There were sedan bearers and Hong Xiuquan's female guards. They were densely packed with people kneeling all over the pier.... Farther away, there were two more people. Among the sixteen-person sedan chairs, one should belong to Southern King Feng Yunshan, and the other one belongs to someone who doesn’t know who?
Hong Xiuquan’s pomp was really grand!
Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo still lifted up his robe and got into the sedan with Su Sanniang.
It means "Shang Jiao", not "Enter the sedan", because this sedan also has a "balcony" and a "door". There are two young female soldiers standing at the door. When they saw Luo Yaoguo coming up, they opened the curtain together, Jiao Didi said He said: "Please."
Luo Yaoguo lowered his head and entered the living room of the sedan with Su Sanniang.
After entering, he found that the "living room" was lit with candles and the light was a bit dark, but he still saw two people wearing yellow robes sitting there, and several young female officials waiting on them. The two people wearing yellow robes were of course from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, and Feng Yunshan, the king of the south.
"My little brother, I sincerely send you greetings to the Second Holy Son of the Heavenly King." "Your Majesty, Su Sanniang, respectfully wishes to greet the Second Holy Son of the Heavenly King."
Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang quickly saluted Hong Xiuquan...kneeling!
After kneeling down, Luo Yaoguo stood up and sat down, but Su Sanniang could only kneel beside Luo Yaoguo with a low eyebrow. "Bian Sanniang, let's go!"
Hong Xiuquan gave the order.
Then Luo Yaoguo heard Bian Sanniang shout "get up", and his feet began to sway for a while, and then returned to stability, with only a slight sway. Not to mention, the sedan was quite stable.
"Eighth brother, is this sedan comfortable?" Hong Xiuquan said triumphantly at this time, "I defeated Seng Gelinqin twice and captured Sai Shang'a alive in it! "The King of Heaven is mighty!"
Luo Yaoguo complimented Hong Xiuquan, but he still disagreed with Hong Xiuquan going to the front line with such a big "target". This guy won't always be like this, right?
"Eighth brother!" Hong Xiuquan asked, "Did Xiang Rong bring him? "I have brought him. King of Heaven, do you want to see him?
"No!" Hong Xiuquan said with a smile, "I want to send him and Sai Shang'a to see the Father!
"Oh." Luo Yaoguo didn't quite understand, and turned to look at Feng Yunshan, who kept a gentle smile. Feng Yunshan smiled and said, "The king wants their sky lantern!"
Hong Xiuquan spoke again at this time, and his tone was a little serious: "Compatriots, the big demon leader should light up sky lanterns! Also, all the Yama demons in Manchuria should be killed! How can you let the salt demon leader spend money to redeem them? Do you know how much evil the redeemed Manchu demons did by robbing and killing people in Changsha City?"
