Chapter 7 Panlong Palace, Moonlight

In July 1858, the six kings issued an edict, and Jingxiang, the prince of Suzhi, returned to Beijing to report the remarks. General Muten of Fuzhou, appointed General Shen Bao, the general of the first town of Pingyuan Army, was appointed as the admiral of Pingyuan Army, and was appointed as the Minister of War, and led the First Town and the Third Town of Pingyuan Army, and led the military affairs of Jiangxi Daying. General Harichi, the second town of Pingyuan Army, and led the second town and the fourth town to Guangxi to eliminate the bandit party.

Jiangxi Governor Li Hongzhang and land admiral, the Prime Minister of the whole province's military and civil affairs, and assisted in the military affairs of Jiangxi Camp.

Guangdong Governor Bai Guijia was the land admiral, the Prime Minister of the whole province's military and civil affairs, and helped the military affairs of the Guangxi camp.

Fujian Admiral Gang'an "adhered to his duty" and was awarded the title of first-class baron, helping with military affairs in the Fujian-Zhejiang Camp.

Ma Dayong, the general general of the Guangdong Navy, was appointed as the admiral of the Guangdong Navy.

After an edict, almost all the important generals of the Pingyuan Army were rewarded, and they even handed over the Pingyuan Army patrol battalion to the governors of various provinces. The power of Baigui, Li Hongzhang, and even the six officials of Li Jianchen, Li Xiaocun and other six houses were rewarded with gold and silver because of their hard work in suppressing bandits over the years.

Dark clouds roll, and Guangzhou is about to storm.

In Yin'an Hall, there were many ministers gathering, but it seemed as if lead was pressing on everyone's heart, and no one knew what to say.

Ye Zhao summoned officials from Guangdong and Jiangxi and leaders from various towns of Pingyuan Army to discuss matters, but not only did Gang'an, far away in Fujian, but even in Guangzhou, there were also several officials including Tang Shuyi, the head of the house, and most of them said they could not afford to be sick.

After the table, Ye Zhao wrote silently, and His Highness, all the civil servants and generals remained silent, and the entire Yin'an Palace was extremely quiet.

At this time, in a magnificent warm pavilion in Guanyin Mountain Palace, the beautiful and majestic Concubine Lan was lying on the soft couch, looking lazy and charming, but her heart was filled with torment. A few days ago, before the imperial edict arrived in Guangzhou, the General King had already received the letter and came to discuss with her. How could she not know the situation was so serious?

I heard that Jing Xiang summoned civil servants and generals today, and the result was soon known for the beginning of the north-south struggle.

"Empress Dowager, your tea." Xiao Anzi brought the tea to the soft couch.

Concubine Lan shook her head.

"Empress Dowager, don't worry, Brother Jing can suppress them." Xiao Anzi whispered to comfort his master.

Concubine Lan sighed softly. Pingyuan's army must be divided. Now it depends on how capable that person has. If he can protect most of the Pingyuan army and the navy, he will still have the opportunity to be at peace with Guangzhou and then develop slowly. Otherwise, I am afraid that Guangzhou will change the world in an instant.

It has always been her biggest dream to help the young prince ascend to the 95th position, and this day is not far away, but I don’t expect that the Six Kings would rather mess up the southeast half of the wall and shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but not to let others sleep soundly. It seems dangerous, but if she was replaced by her, if she thought about it carefully, she would probably take the initiative earlier than the Six Kings. Otherwise, Jing Xiang would erode the southeast half of the wall and the people would accept it.

When Jing Xiang's troops entered Hunan, they might have been destined to be today's situation.

Now, everything depends on him.

Concubine Lan sighed softly and held up the teacup.

Guangzhou City Guangdong Administration Office Back Yamen.

In the room surrounded by smoke, Tang Shuyi was lying on the couch and eating cigarette bubbles. A delicate young woman knelt on the other side of the kang table, carefully serving him to pick cigarette bubbles. The young woman was his favorite concubine, Narcissus.

Tang Shuyi was floating like a cloud and fog, and he breathed out his smoke comfortably, saying, "Master, my hard life is over. How can the taste of this big yamen be as comfortable as it is now?"

Narcissus chuckled: "Master, you have to pretend to be sick, you have to pretend to be sick. General Wang Zhixiu, aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"

Tang Shuyi smiled contemptuously: "Who is called "Zanbaoer now when he is involved? His glorious days are over!"

Narcissus put down the smoke chisel with his thin hand and said coquettishly: "I don't believe it. I heard that people in Guangdong listen to him. If he doesn't go to Beijing, who can catch him?"

Tang Shuyi was relaxed all over, and there was no secret in front of this concubine who was most beloved. He spat out a breath of smoke and said, "This, you have to see who can be the official position for them. Not to mention anything else, Shenbao, is it Jingxiang's man? But is it easy to follow the general of the rebellion? Or is the decent minister of the emperor's Jinkou seal? This is a person, and he will think about it, but he will not think about it.

The Narcissus giggled: "The emperor also has a secret letter to the master. Have you promised me a third level of promotion?"

Tang Shuyi was stunned, and finally opened his eyes and said, "How do you know about Secret Letter?" Then he realized that when he was eating cigarettes, he would tell this delicate little beauty everything.

Tang Shuyi's face turned upright and said solemnly: "No more mention of this matter."

"I understand." The daffodil agreed cutely.

Tang Shuyi then slowly closed his eyes again and continued to spit out the clouds and mist.

In the Silver Hall.

Ye Zhao finally put down his pen.

He looked at Li Hongzhang and Shenbao and smiled and said, "After I went to the capital, Jiangxi camp is all about you. I hope you don't relax and always put the military and country first."

Bakesh immediately looked at the two of them. He had already made up his mind that no matter who showed any strange intentions today, the guards would be ordered to kill him during the scattered yamen. He was chopped off his head and forced him to return to the capital. Otherwise, the master would have died forever.

Before Li Hongzhang could speak, Shenbao suddenly stepped out and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed a few times: "Prince! Shenbao doesn't understand any great principles, but Shenbao understands what it means to be grateful. Shenbao is a small martial artist who is responsible for three great sins. The prince does not abandon him and supports him all the way. Shenbao has a small reputation today. Shenbao only wants to kill the enemy on the battlefield and ensure that our Qing Dynasty is forever solid. However, if someone uses it to undermine the prince's power, Shenbao will not follow him. Shenbao has already resigned from his post and is willing to return to his hometown to be a small farmer, talk about the joy of the forest with his wife and children, and get the joy of the forest and spring. It is enough!"

Bakesh was slightly stunned. The one he was most worried about was Shenbao. Shenbao was a man with both hardness and softness. It was difficult for others to understand his thoughts and he also had prestige in the army. If the master was really gone, he would be the best candidate to control the Pingyuan army. The Six Kings granted him an unprecedented official title of admiral of the Pingyuan army.

Harric interrupted at this time, "My God Guardian wants to be a farmer, but I'm afraid the emperor won't be sure of it!"

Shenbao glared back at Harric in anger and said one by one: "Every word that Shenbao said is to the heart, if there are false words, heaven will be punished by the earth!"

Harric sneered twice and stopped talking.

Li Jianchen shook his head and sighed, "What's there to fight for? Is it because I really take the title of Xu in the capital seriously? In my opinion, it's just a mirror and a moon. If the prince is there, we can still enjoy wealth and honor. If the prince is not there, I don't know how many people can do it for a long time, whether it is the Minister or the Minister."

Everyone nodded silently, all of whom felt that this was the most reasonable statement. Once the emperor held the Pingyuan Army and the power of Guangdong and Jiangxi, the complaints of those Beijing officials and foreign officials would not fly to the capital like snowflakes? Who would convince Pingyuan? The success of the civil servants and generals in Guangdong and Jiangxi has always been there after autumn.

Harichi stepped out of the line and knelt down and said loudly: "Your Highness, I heard that in the capital, King Gong placed under house arrest by King Zheng, and summoned King Wang back to Beijing, and he would definitely harm the Qing Dynasty. The country was entrusted to the prince. King Gong took the rebellious actions and planned to seize the Xianfeng and Qixiang's kingdom, and even wanted to harm the empress dowagers of the two palaces. God felt sorry for the prince. The prince went through hardships to ensure the safety of the two palaces. Therefore, King Gong left many difficulties to the prince. Last year, he sent the imperial guards to lure and kill the two palaces. It was really a rebellion and cruel. The servant begged the prince to promote the king's army, urging the people to punish the people and help the country!" After saying that, Harichi kowtowed: "I risked my life to advise! Even if the prince cuts off the head, the servant will never serve King Gong!"

Harric's words were shocked, and most of the people in the palace looked at each other.

Although the civil servants and generals had long thought about it and thought that there might be such a day, but when things came to an end, Harric suddenly broke the window paper today, but no one spoke. Some people felt in their hearts that they were suddenly trying to support the little prince, and they always felt that something was wrong, not the time was not available.

Li Jianchen also left the squad and kowtowed, shouting: "I beg the prince to make a decision, to rectify the trouble, and to promote the king's army to attack the rebels!"

Then Han Jinchun, Suna and Li Xiaocun went out to make a generous speech, asking to support the bloodline of Daoguang, and the descendant of Master Xianfeng, the young prince, became the emperor.

Most of the others remained silent.

Zhao Sanbao, the general of the fourth town of Pingyuan Army, suddenly said in an insult: "What are you fighting for? Why are you fighting for? Just become the emperor? How can you do so many things? If you want to fight, fight quickly. What's the fighting for?" Zhao Sanbao is also very talented. On the battlefield, the two armies confront each other and attack the mountain to siege the ambush under the city. Those plots are good, but they praise him for military affairs without political wisdom. They are simply ignorant.

The hall was immediately silent, and everyone smiled bitterly. Everyone knew the temper of this Sanbao Master, and no one would take care of it, so as not to get entangled with him.

Ye Zhao's face sank, "Talk nonsense, step back!"

Zhao Sanbao had a bitter face and did not dare to say anything. He left the hall with a dejected look like an eggplant with frost.

Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said, "Let me think about what happened today and discuss it later."

"Zhe!" All the civil officials and generals bowed together.

...

Xiguan Grand Theater, the second floor VIP private room, the red gauze curtains hang down, and on the soft mat in the private room, Ye Zhao was complaining to others, looking pitiful.

"Matchmaker, you really don't care if I'm bullied?"

Sitting beside Ye Zhao, the matchmaker wore a beautiful red dress, embroidered butterfly danced with cloud sleeves, silk ribbons floating on her waist, small embroidered shoes, and under the skirt cage, her eyebrows, eyes, mouth, mouth, and red dan, and fragrant skin like snow, jade bones, and ice-clear. She is really a beautiful woman who is so beautiful.

The first time I heard that "husband" was full of bitterness, Su Hongniang's beautiful eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.

Ye Zhao finally gradually put away his pitiful look and sighed: "The situation in Guangzhou today is really dangerous. Now that the six kings have just arrived, I am afraid that all the people will make trouble. As far as I know, the six kings have written secret letters to several officials. Jiayan was placed under house arrest in the capital. It can be said that for the first time I, Ye Zhao, faced this situation where I cannot advance or retreat. If I go to the capital, I will definitely die for a lifetime. If I stay in Guangzhou, I can only delay for a while and raise troops to fight against rebellion, which is a little lacking. What I lack the most is time!"

He shook his head and said, "Sometimes, when you meet you in Shanghai, you may not have the worries you have today when you go to Guilin."

"You are the little prince of Tartars, where can I go to Guilin?" The matchmaker glared at him, obviously not satisfied with his identity yet.

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, Prince of Tartars..." He was quite excited.

"If I surrender to you little Tartar, I really don't know if the master will send a dream to devour my soul. In the nine springs, I have no face to see them again, let alone see my brother who died at the hands of the Tartar soldiers!" Su Hongniang said quietly, her eyes gradually turned red.

Ye Zhao was stunned and said, "What, what surrender?"

The matchmaker looked over and said, "Then how do you want me to help you?"

"Attacking Yunnan and Guizhou, as long as you win a few big battles, I won't have to go to the capital." Ye Zhao said thinking.

Su Hongniang shook her head gently: "Stop-of-mind."

Ye Zhao said: "That's not the case. Just give me a little time and I can turn the world around."

The matchmaker stared at Ye Zhao with beautiful eyes and said word by word: "I will only ask you one question, what will happen if you sweep the world?"

Ye Zhao understood what she meant, looked at her and slowly said, "I will change the name of the Qing Dynasty, and from now on, the whole world will be one family."

The matchmaker looked at him quietly for a while and nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll help you. After a few days, you can declare that the world is the matchmaker Su in Wuzhou has surrendered you!"

Ye Zhao was stunned, "What?"

"I said I surrendered you!" Su Hongniang said very seriously.

After a while, Ye Zhao didn't come back to his senses. He naturally knew how the big things that would shake the world in Wuzhou would really make the world turn upside down. If he had supported the young prince before, he felt that he was a little lacking in time. However, the earth-shaking merit of surrendering the young prince could make his reputation reach the highest point immediately, and with this power, he would be able to support the young prince naturally.

"Matchmaker, you don't have to be so wronged." Ye Zhao said the truth. Matchmaker is a shining flag among all the rebels. After defeating the powerful army of the Monk King, his prestige is even more unparalleled. Sudden decline is a huge shame for his life. Although it is only a matter of time before merging with the Matchmaker's army, he will find the best opportunity, and will not ruin his reputation for his life as it is now.

The matchmaker thought about it and said slowly: "I will find a way to make Luo Jiucheng and other troops retreat into Vietnam, and the Pingyuan army is not allowed to enter Vietnam to clear it out."

Ye Zhao understood what she meant. When the matchmaker was recruited, the Fair Party and its armed forces would inevitably split. Some were loyal to the matchmaker and left with the matchmaker no matter what, some were willing to see the matchmaker for stability, and some were eager to be recruited for promotion and wealth; but there were also many people who would not follow the matchmaker and regarded the matchmaker as a traitor. Luo Jiucheng and his subordinates were undoubtedly the matchmaker believed that they would not follow her.

Pingyuan's army is bound to enter Guangxi. The matchmaker hopes that before that, he can find ways to free the divided party members from danger and find a place to settle down.

Without waiting for Ye Zhao to persuade him, the matchmaker said lightly: "I have made up my mind and hope that your heart will be consistent. If you violate today's words, the matchmaker will take your life!"

Although she was threatened, Ye Zhao felt warm in her heart. Perhaps the matchmaker felt that helping her would be easier to realize her dream. But more importantly, she knew the difficult situation she was facing, so she was willing to endure humiliation and help her to completely turn the world around.

It seems that I am not lukewarm to myself, but for myself, I can sacrifice anything.
