Chapter 524 Close the door and capture Xianfeng! The new emperor is called Tongzhi (please make an appointment, vote)
On July 15, the fifth year of Xianfeng, the Old Summer Palace.
The twelve beast heads of the water outside the Haiyan Hall were shining with a metallic luster in the morning light. Concubine Yi's flower pot-bottomed shoes were stepping on the Persian carpet, paced back and forth in the Haiyan Hall, looking at the beast outside the window
The head moved to the table of the enamel tobacco box that was "given to Xianfeng" with the flintlock spear "Imperial Gift from Xianfeng" and the empty "secret box" and the enamel tobacco box that Luo Yaoguo asked Wanzhen to send her.
The letter raft with the prophecy that said "Xianfeng killed the same virtue, and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed" was twisted into a ball and held in her palm.
The "bed" and "pillow" she used to share the same bed with Emperor Tongde was in this dormitory. Xiao Zaichun was now lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, holding his mother in her arms.
The embroidered pillow that he pillowed with his uncle.
"Empress, Li Hongzhang's six thousand Beiyang troops have surrounded the Old Summer Palace. "Yuan Bao's top was stained with dew and hurried in from outside, with trembling hidden in his deliberately lowered voice," he said. He said he wanted to invite the Empress to go to the big one.
The West Court Room outside the palace gate discusses the matter "
"He Li Hongzhang is so arrogant!" Miss Wanzhen, who was sitting aside yawning and a little drowsy, suddenly became energetic, and her almond eyes widened, "He is a minister, how dare he ask his master to go out to see him!"
Concubine Yi sneered: "He Li Hongzhang is no longer an ordinary minister, and I don't know when I can do it," said Concubine Yi.
"When?" Wanzhen smiled, "When is the support of His Highness the King of Wu, my sister's Empress Dowager Khan wants to do it, and when will it be done!"
Concubine Yi's eyes looked like lightning, and she looked at the girl: "Oh, you just trust him so much? He hasn't used your body yet, right?"
Wanzhen's face turned red: "I, I'm still young."
Concubine Yi nodded: "Yes, you are still young and don't know the family affairs of the emperor! The most ruthless imperial family." She sighed softly, "Mr. Xianfeng was rumored to be a prisoner of long hair. Your sister is to survive and save the big one.
Brother, I have to commit myself to Gong Laoliu! This is selling myself! Later, in order to defeat Gong Laoliu, I had to join forces with the spies from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even pressed my handprint on the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-The Later Jin Treaty" This is selling myself!
Can Master Xianfeng still want this concubine who sells herself and sells her country? Even if he doesn't think I'm dirty, how should I implement the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-Later Jin Treaty"? If I don't fulfill the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-Later Jin Treaty", your King of Wu will let go
Bye? Girl, tell me, should I go to the West Chaofang to meet Li Hongzhang now?"
"But, but this Li Hongzhang is also a ulterior motive!" Wanzhen was quite alert and could see that Li Hongzhang was wrong.
"It's okay," Concubine Yi smiled bitterly, "There is another Zeng Guofan! There is only one person wearing a yellow robe. As long as Zeng and Li can still control each other, the Qing Dynasty can maintain it. That's it, and the west facing the room outside the palace gate!
”
Li Hongzhang's Western horse boots stepped on the floor tiles of the west facing the room outside the palace gate. Matilde was wearing a women's Western military uniform, sitting upright on a Taishi chair, wearing white gloves, holding a Western sword on his head.
The eyes were curled up when looking at Li Hongzhang. Outside, the foreign guns in the hands of the infantry in the third town of the Beiyang New Army were glowing blue in the morning light, and eighteen French breastplate cavalry rode the Western horses back and forth, with their chests
The armor was so polished like a mirror that it could reflect human figures.
Feng Guifen walked quickly with the military newspaper: "Master General, Xianfeng led three thousand infantry and cavalry and had passed Wanping City!"
Li Hongzhang didn't even raise his eyelids: "Xianfeng killed Tongde, and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed! Even if he returned to Beijing, he would not be able to make a comeback." Before he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far and near, Duolona
Hundreds of lancers of the Beiyang Army led by the Beiyang Army were swept like a whirlwind, and each war horse had a few bloody heads hanging on the saddle - these were the heads of the Eight Banners soldiers who were left behind in the inner city of Beijing, and were slapped by the Eight Banners soldiers of Duolona.
Boyong's green camp soldiers were killed indiscriminately!
"Report to the Grand Marshal!" Duolonga got off the horse, and his two ferocious heads were still bleeding. "The Eight Banners soldiers who were not obeying the rules in Beijing have all been dealt with, including the nine inner gates, the seven outer gates, and the four imperial gates,
The four gates of the palace city and the four gates of the Longmaikou are all under the control of our Beiyang New Army. The gang of the fifth patrol battalion who were jealous of money took silver dollars, and they all said that only the Lord’s orders were obeyed!"
Li Hongzhang then smiled: "Jingting, if you go and urge me again, you will say that Long live the emperor is about to enter the city. She will not come again. I will go and welcome you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a duck shouting in the voice of the palace gate: "The Imperial Concubine is here!"
Li Hongzhang laughed and turned to Mathilde and said, "Matty, it seems that I'm right. She has to cooperate with us now!"
Mathilde spread out a paper fan of Xiangfeizhu, covered his mouth and smiled in English: "Shaoquan, now you have to learn from Cao Mengde, take the emperor and sleep with the empress dowager, and let the princes be ordered?"
Li Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head and said, "Mati, what did you say? Where can I sleep with the Queen Mother? Prime Minister Cao has never slept with Emperor Xian of Han before!"
Yuan Jiasan, who was acting as the admiral of the Nine Gates, looked at the three thousand squads and horses outside the city, and suddenly felt that the official seal in his hand was so heavy!
"Hear it, the people in the city, Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty is here, so he won't open the door quickly!"
Zeng Jia Linshu's loud voice sounded under the city. The minister in charge of the guard was anxious now. Emperor Xianfeng was now slapped in a carriage. The emperor's plague was getting worse day by day and he had long been unable to ride a horse. Now
It was all up to opium to keep the spirits, otherwise he would have fallen down long ago. Now I just want to enter the city soon so that the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital can treat this Nine Five Lord well! Otherwise.
However, the situation at Yongding Gate was really strange. Although there was a flag of "Emperor Xianfeng" hanging on the city wall, it was obviously a change of heaven, but when the people in the city saw that the emperor was back, no one opened the door to welcome him.
"Mr. Yuan! Come on with an idea!"
Bo Yong behind the battlement kept urging Yuan Jiasan to make up his mind, and the telescope in his hand was still trembling, looking like a useless bear. Yuan Jiasan held the arrowhead and looked down, and saw the three thousand squadrons below.
It's still energetic, the bright yellow dragon flag was blown by the morning breeze. Zeng Jia and Linshu, the leader, were still wearing a chain mail, pointing a spear high at the head of the city. He was really a bit old and strong
Meaning, the yellow curtain on the four-wheeled carriage was still motionless - the one inside had always been weak and sick, and now he was afraid that he would not even have the strength to lift the curtain.
If it collapses like this, it will be convenient for Shuai Li and Concubine Yi to act!
"Open the city gate-" Yuan Jiasan finally made up his mind. He touched the handwritten letter from Li Hongzhang who had just sent someone to ride a fast horse. On the gold stamping paper, "The Change of Tongde, Destiny is in Chun" eight
The words are like a soldering iron.
Seeing that the city gate was opened, Zeng Jia and Linshu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he found something wrong. In the black city gate, there was no official who came out to kowtow?
"Ahem cough cough"
A violent cough interrupted Zeng Jia and Linshu's thoughts. He quickly waved his hand: "Car driving into the city. Hurry!"
Then he drove his horse to the four-wheeled carriage in Xianfeng, smiled and said to Xianfeng who was curled up on the cushion inside: "Emperor Xianfeng is hanging on the city of Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty is back in your hands again.
!”
When Xianfeng, who was drowsy, heard the news, he became much more energetic and struggled to sit up straight. Two flushings appeared on his pale face: "Hurry, I'm going to go back to the palace!"
"Zhe!" Zeng Jia Linshu responded, waved his hands a few more times, urging the driver to drive Xianfeng's carriage into Yongding Gate, and he himself drove the horse into the door. As soon as he entered the door, Zeng Jia Linshu
I found something wrong - Yongding Gate was only half opened!
This Yongding Gate has a urn city. The city gate itself is a small city. One city gate connects outside the city and one city gate connects inside the city. There are high walls between the two gates. Now the outer door of Yongding Gate is open, but inside
The door is closed!
"KaKaKa"
A harsh sound of hinges suddenly sounded behind Lin Shu. He quickly turned around to look, and then his eyes were about to fall. He only saw a gate falling down, isolating the inside and outside of Yongding Gate!
"Bold! The emperor is here, do you want to rebel?" Zeng Jia and Linshu opened his throat and shouted.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Before he finished speaking, thousands of foreign guns had already stretched out from the wall of Yongdingmen City! The figure of Duolona, ​​the general of the third town of Beiyang, also appeared on the wall, and he shouted at the city:
"According to the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, please invite the Emperor to go to Yingtai Island, Xiyuan to recuperate!"
"What? Grand Emperor? Duolona, ​​what are you talking about?" Zeng Jia Linshu raised his spear and pointed it at Duolona on the city, "Doolona, ​​you are rebelling!"
Duolona laughed and said, "Zeng Jia Linshu, don't resist stubbornly. Now the entire city of Beijing is under the control of the Empress Dowager and Li Dashui. The young emperor has ascended the throne and the Empress Dowager has already arrived at the court. The Supreme Emperor can still enjoy it with peace of mind!
”
Xianfeng in the carriage seemed to have had a plague, but he didn't understand what happened? He just murmured: "Xianfeng killed Tongde, and the Qing Dynasty's throne, ask, is Gong Laoliu dead? He is not dead
, it's not considered a killing... Ask, ask!"
Taihang Mountain, Niangzi Pass.
The Taiping Army of the brigade was walking east along the not-so-wide road in the mountains. The army was extremely large in scale. The front team had already left Jingxing Pass, while the rear army was still in the mountains of Taihang.
Wandering in the middle.
Under the huge army's squadron, under the huge "East King" military flag, Yang Xiuqing was riding on a tall horse. Looking at the army that could not see the edge, the smile on her face could no longer be concealed.
It's right.
A few riders came running in front of him. Daozi immediately drove forward. After meeting their orders, he rode his horse back with surprise and bowed to Yang Xiuqing on the back of the horse, saying, "Your Highness of the Eastern King, Beijing has changed the emperor again."
Now, Emperor Tongde is finished!"
Yang Xiuqing held her sparse beard: "Has Xianfeng restored?"
"It's not the restoration of Xianfeng," Daozi smiled, "The new emperor's reign is Tongzhi!"
On the same day, outside Dagukou, dozens of steam ships with the Panlong Banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the "The Great Wall Never Fall" flag were dragging thick black smoke and appeared in people's sight.
