Who can send guards to pick them up? Only the emperor!

Han Xiufeng felt that this time he went to Beijing would not be as simple as being transferred to the position of the Tongzhengsi Senate, but no matter how he asked the two guards, he couldn't tell why, so he could only follow them to the capital.

It was already midnight when we arrived in the capital. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary civil and military officials could not enter the city in the middle of the night. However, there were two guards who were unobstructed all the way and rushed to the Tongzhengsi Office located in the southwest corner of **, next to the Luanyi Guard.

Although the Beijing officials do not need to go to the Ministry of Personnel to obtain the custody and send who to which yamen to inform the Ministry of Personnel, they can not see the Shangguan in the middle of the night, not only can they not see the Shangguan, but even a few people!

Han Xiufeng was suspicious, but he had already arrived at the door and could only let Gu Jinyan wait outside. He just gritted the bullet and walked into the yamen with two guards, greeted an experience on duty and a post-post, and then came to a public room with a virtual door open.

There was a light inside, and someone was lying on the case and slept soundly, while a little eunuch leaned on the chair and snored. The tall guard coughed dryly and reminded: "Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Liu, Mr. Han has arrived, and Beizhi has returned."

"ah……"

"Eunuch Liu, Bei Zhi brought Mr. Han."

The old eunuch raised his head, subconsciously wiped his saliva, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed that it was Han Xiufeng who was standing outside the door, so he quickly stood up and said, "Master Han, I'm waiting for you. Our family has been waiting for you for a whole day!"

The little eunuch also recovered and bowed quickly and said, "I have met Mr. Han, and Mr. Han is lucky!"

Han Xiufeng recognized them as eunuchs from the Neijing Office. Because Chunshang had met in the Old Summer Palace during the meeting, he quickly turned his back to the guard and took out two silver notes from his sleeves, walked up to him and stuffed them. Then he bowed and asked, "Eunuch Liu, have you been waiting for the next official for a day?"

The old eunuch looked down with the help of candlelight and found that it was two silver notes of 100 taels, and immediately smiled: "This is still fake!"

"I have been late and asked my father-in-law to wait for a long time. Please forgive me."

"Master Han, what are you talking about? It's almost dawn, let's talk about the serious business quickly." The old eunuch tidied up his clothes and then looked up: "The emperor's words!"

"My minister, Han Xiufeng, respectfully invites the Holy An."

"Sage Gong'an." The old eunuch cleared his throat, looked at Han Xiufeng kneeling in front of him, and said in a stern manner: "According to the report of Ye Mingchen, Yiliang and others, the Yimai Ke roared, Mailian Lebibian and others covetously. They visited the two governors in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Kunshan and other places, submitted a letter of national letter, and threatened to rush to the false words, insisting on the theory of twelve years of adaptation and agreement... The two British ships arrived in Tianjin on the 24th, but none of them were in the civil and military affairs of the court!

Wen Qing, the Minister of Revenue, ordered Han Xiufeng, the Tongzhi of the South Bank of Yongding River, to be the senator of the Tongzheng Department. Ye Mingchen, Yiliang, Jierhanga and the resigned governor Xu Naizhao and others to write the bills for reading. They also excerpted the trade treaty for Daoguang in the 23rd and 4th year, and read them together, familiar with the situation in order to prepare for consultation by the ministers and consultants of the Military Affairs Department."

Han Xiufeng did not expect that the recommended person to be the Chief Secretary for the Tongzheng Department was the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall who was walking in the Military Affairs Office, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Wen Qing. He did not expect that the foreign ship had arrived in Tianjin and was stunned for a moment.

"Master Han, Master Han..."

Han Xiufeng recovered and didn't know what to say, the old eunuch pointed to a wooden box beside the eunuch and said, "Master Han, the folds involved in the barbarian affairs and the emperor's decree are all here. You can read it quickly. You may not be sure that the admiral of the Military Affairs Office will summon you to ask questions as soon as the sky dawns."

The envoy of the Three Kingdoms believed it and left Shanghai and returned to the south on the ninth day of the seventh month. As a result, Ye Mingchen avoided him outside Guangzhou City and practiced Tai Chi like before.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms may have felt cheated, so they took the military ship to Shanghai in anger. The governor of Liangjiang Yiliang and the governor of Jiangsu Jierhanga not only avoided them, but also had no right words. They led the military ship north to Tianjin. Jierhanga couldn't stop him, but realized that the trouble was too big, so they hurriedly submitted a memorial to apologize for six hundred miles.

The foreigners' warships stopped at Dagukou. The court ordered the Changlu Yanyun envoy Wen Qian to "refute rightly and make instructions to convince the barbarians" and "make them not dare to covet them and return to the south." He also ordered the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan Fuller Duntai and the general of Tianjin Town Shuangrui to lead the troops, detectives day and night, Changchuan trained, and waited for the dispatch. At the same time, he ordered local officials to show peace and forbid the people to trade with foreigners.

However, from the decrees issued in the past few days, it can be seen that the emperor is not very confident about whether Wen Qian can "conquer the heart of the barbarians."

It is worth mentioning that Xu Naizhao's dismissal was not as simple as the previous thought that he was not effective in suppressing thieves, because the emperor criticized this in a secret letter: Xu Naizhao's command in Shanghai has been ineffective for a long time. He was controlled by Yingmi and Foyi everywhere (British and American law). This time, he led a note to give people a handle, which was particularly ignorant and hated. He had issued an edict to remove him from his post!

It can be seen that what the emperor really hated was Xu Naizhao's rash meeting with foreigners instead of being unable to suppress the thieves. If it was really hard to suppress the thieves, Senggelinqin, Shengbao, Xiang Rong and Qishan who were said to be sick were not the same, but they were just scolding him. Although they were dismissed, they were dismissed and remained.

Thinking of Xu Naizhao's fate, Han Xiufeng secretly decided that if the emperor and the adults in the Military Affairs Office would ask, they would only talk about what they could say, such as what foreigners looked like, whether the foreigners' guns and cannons were sharp, how many cannons were on the foreigners' warships, and the foreigners' character, they would never have any opinion.

As for how to deal with it, it was discussed by the emperor and the princes and ministers. A small consul of the Tongzheng Department could only help collect and analyze the situation in order to be consulted by the emperor and the consultants of the Military Affairs Office.
