Chapter 606 Love House and Wu
The huge Forbidden City has no tree in other places except for a small piece of imperial garden. Although it can show the royal majesty, it is not comfortable to live there. If it were in previous years, Xianfeng would have brought the imperial concubine, the empress and the imperial concubine to the Old Summer Palace to "move" together.
This year is different from previous years. Xianfeng is determined to work hard to manage the country and has not been "big moves". But in a blink of an eye, June is approaching, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Thinking that the Forbidden City in summer is really impossible to live in, and he was planning to move to the Old Summer Palace. Several censors of the Censorate actually submitted a memorial to request the postponement of the Linxing Imperial Garden, and even claimed that state affairs should be put first!
Because of the deterioration of wars in Liangjiang, Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Shandong, Henan and other places, Xianfeng was so angry that he fell several cups in a row and even wrote an edict in person.
"The emperor calms down, your husband, these things will be handed over to the Military Affairs Office..."
"I'm so angry," Xianfeng realized that it was indeed inappropriate to write an idly self-written for this matter, so he simply put down his pen and looked up and said, "Sushun, hold the pen for me!"
"Yeah." Sushun hurriedly got up, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the imperial desk and carefully took the pen.
"I told the cabinet that Wang Maoyin requested to suspend his visit to the Imperial Garden. Because he had no evidence, I led the process to report to the Ministry for his unfounded words. He reported to the Ministry of Justice Xue Minggao today. When he saw the Old Summer Palace pressing for the wall construction, he thought that there had been a clear sign. He also said... and he was in the palace and the garden, which was divided by respect and sacrificial people. The safety of the people should be distinguished. Their reports were different from the same."
Xianfeng took a deep breath with a gloomy face, thought for a while and then said, "When the Old Summer Palace is in charge of the Constitution, this series of sages should be followed and not replaced, and repaired at any time, which is also common. Moreover, when is the time to come for good luck without plagiarism? The censor said that the public's controversy has been in full swing, and it has not been finished yet. He wanted to give a name for dare to advise, so he tried it with dangerous words!
I think I am respectful and considerate. If I am at ease, even if I am in the palace, I can be relaxed and happy. Why should I come to the imperial garden? I will feel lazy and desolate. When the atmosphere is not calm, I will be anxious and uneasy at night. Whether I am in the palace or in the garden, I will be respectful and worried. Just like in the second year of Xianfeng, I was in the garden for half a year, I just handled military affairs and summoned officials to work hard. How could I slack political affairs in one day!
The censor actually regarded his companionship as his companion in the garden, and was self-disciplined and unrestrained. What he saw was also shallow. I remember that my ancestor should have been in power at the beginning of the government, and it was at the time when the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu religions were raising trouble. At that time, he was lucky to the Old Summer Palace, and the autumn Mulan was as usual. The holy heart was respectful. How could I be able to look up to the profoundness? If there was an ignorant at that time, he would be punished severely if he acted ignorant at that time... "
Word by word, almost all popped out of the teeth!
Su Shun could imagine how angry the emperor was at this moment. While secretly cursing the censors not only did not understand the holy heart but also gained fame, he wrote quickly according to the emperor's oral narration.
Xianfeng waited for him to finish writing, took it and looked at it, and said coldly: "Use seal."
“Wait.”
Peng Yunzhang, who came to deliver the memorial, was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.
Seeing that Su Shun used up his seal on the edict, Xianfeng turned around and asked, "Peng Aiqing is old, don't kneel down, get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Peng Yunzhang hurriedly got up.
Xianfeng was really not in the mood to listen to his comments one by one, then he sat down after another, and asked expressionlessly: "What's wrong with Peng Aiqing handing over a sign to ask for a meeting? Let's talk about it concisely."
"I obey the order." Peng Yunzhang calmed down and reported the official documents that the Military Affairs Office had just completed today and the reports from the provinces that had just received.
Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had another good news. He had just suppressed a remnant of long-haired evil spirits and killed more than 500 bandits in the formation. He also found out that great news: Britain, Buddha and others had actually fought with Russian and foreigners. I don’t know when the battle will be decided. The emperor no longer needs to worry about the Westerners’ undecided provocation.
When did this happen? "Houyitang" found out last year. If Ye Mingchen reported that the daylily was cold, Sushun was amused and laughed. He really thought he had heard it wrong. Xianfeng was also ridiculous and said gritting his teeth: "This is my five-door business minister. I have only found out what happened in April and May last year!"
Peng Yunzhang also thought this matter was too ridiculous and could only stammer: "Report to the emperor, Ye Mingchen is both the Minister of Commerce in Wukou and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi..."
Thinking that even if you change someone, it would be better, and not to mention that you had never expected Ye Mingchen and other officials to investigate the situation, Xianfeng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's continue."
Peng Yunzhang calmed down and said nervously: "Ye Mingchen said that Guangdong's military affairs had not been completed. He requested that Guangdong should hold the Yimao Civil and Military Examination this year, and could not be held according to the restrictions. He requested that the exhibition be approved until the sixth year of Xianfeng, and a special examination will be issued to supplement the Yimao Civil and Military Examination."
This is another bad news!
The provincial examination is just like the imperial examination, but it was not just a national event because of the thieves. It was not just a Guangdong province. Thinking that Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, Guizhou and other provinces could not be held, Xianfeng felt very uncomfortable and said with a gloomy face: "It's accurate."
Zhuo Bingtian, a veteran of the three dynasties, died. The Military Affairs Office was ordered to express his gratitude to the title of Prince Taibao and posthumously named Wenduan.
The acting governor of Hubei, Hu Linyi, requested to order Sichuan to continue to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to provide special services to Wuchang's soldiers and food, and sent officials and gentry to persuade them to donate.
Sichuan academician He Shaoji reported to Sichuan Province's lawsuit not only delayed, but even humiliated the scholars, saying that the father and son surnamed Ju were killed at the East Qijianqiao of Hezhou, Li Xuan, a student of Hejiang County, and Wan Shitian, a student of Nanxi County, had many suspicions and delayed the case. It has not been settled for a long time, causing the scholar to become Diao Jian.
...
One by one, it was all troublesome, and Xianfeng was in a worse mood.
Just as Sushun kept winking Peng Yunzhang, Peng Yunzhang said again: "Cao Shuzhong, Chongqing prefect, Du Xingyuan, Ba County prefect, Xiangqing, etc. reported that because Guizhou bandits attacked Qijiang, Nanchuan and other counties, they had already convened the delegations of Chongqing prefecture's prefectures to assist Qijiang in early April. Before Ding You, the Tongzheng Department Senator Han Xiufeng was in charge of the Sichuan-Guizhou junction to coordinate the prevention and blockade."
After listening for a long time, I finally heard a good news that was not considered good news.
Xianfeng subconsciously raised his head: "Where is the memorial, let me take a look."
"I obey the order." Peng Yunzhang hurriedly took out Cao Shuzhong's memorial and presented it carefully.
I don't know if I don't look at it, and I was shocked when I saw it.
Cao Shuzhong and Du Xingyuan actually convened nearly a hundred street groups, Fang groups, Xiang groups and Township groups from Ba County, Jiangbei Hall, Nanchuan, Bishan, Qijiang, Jiangjin and other prefectures and counties to prevent blockades. The number of groups training was too numerous to count, and the group members had more than 4,000 people.
If someone else put this note on it, to be precise, if someone else coordinates the blockade, Xianfeng would throw the note away without thinking, because this is a group of mobs, and it is no different to expect these temporarily pieced together to prevent blocking the bandits.
But it was not someone else who led the mob, but Han Si, who had no news for half a year. Xianfeng's face was not as ugly as before. He put down his memo and said, "This Cao Shuzhong is quite knowledgeable and good at responsibilities. With Han Si sitting at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, not only can he move to Kuizhou to handle blockades with confidence, but I don't have to worry that Guizhou bandits will flee into eastern Sichuan."
Su Shun was also happy and sighed at the right time: "It just made Han Si suffer. After all, he was worried about returning home, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait for the funeral when he got home. He could not mourn his father or serve his mother in front of his knees."
Peng Yunzhang knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he left the memorial to report it at the end. Seeing that the emperor was in a much better mood, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think Han Xiufeng is deeply favored by the emperor and should serve the court. What's more, Sichuan East is his hometown, and he can move filial piety and loyalty and wear armor to fight. He is both loyal and filial."
"Your Majesty, after hearing what Lord Peng said, the slave suddenly realized that he was not wronged, loyal and filial, and how many people have been able to take care of both since ancient times. It's just... just..."
"Just what?"
"But this soldier is probably not that easy to lead. The regiment training is no better than the village chariots that Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi are working on, and it is even more incomparable to the Eight Banners Green Camp. The food and salary are almost insufficient, and those regiments have not entered the ranks. It is probably not that easy to make those regiments and the regiments use their lives."
Xianfeng agreed and weighed it and stood up and said, "Peng Aiqing, I have drawn an edict for me. Han Xiufeng, the magistrate of Ding You, ordered the local prefectures and counties in eastern Sichuan to supervise the training of the regiments of various prefectures and counties in eastern Sichuan to handle the prevention and control of the Guizhou bandits. He sent out ten golden-shelf knives, ten silver-shelf knives, ten silver-shelf knives, fifty silver-shelf knives, one hundred large purses, and ten fire sickles. He chose the ones who worked bravely and sent their efforts to send an order to reward them separately. He also found out that the people of the various regiments who worked in the war and asked for their kindness. The officer immediately ordered the regiments to train, take advantage of this military power to quickly eliminate the ugly people, and do not allow the Guizhou bandits to flee!"
Peng Yunzhang was shocked and thought that he could upload an order to the emperor to reward him, or even give a letter to the siegebao. This was the honor that only imperial envoys or officials with heavy troops, such as Xiang Rong, Senggelinqin, Shengbao, Hu Linyi, etc., could have been given the honor of the imperial envoys or the chief officials who held heavy troops. Although Zeng Guofan had so many local brave men, the emperor did not give Zeng Guofan this grace.
Sushun took it for granted and immediately bowed and said, "The Emperor is wise!"
What Peng Yunzhang couldn't believe was that the emperor said hatefully: "This Han Si is so heartless. He has never given me a memorial to return home for so long. If it weren't for the memorial to be written by Cao Shuzhong, I wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person as him."
"Your Majesty, I forgive my servants for being brave. You really wronged Han Si for this matter."
"I've wronged him?"
Su Shun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Han Si is a man who returns to his hometown and is not a man who takes office in the province. Not to mention the date of reporting to the house, even if he wants to report, even if he wants to submit a letter to the emperor, he, a registered prefect who assists in the group training, cannot submit a letter."
Xianfeng reacted and said without hesitation: "Then I will send him some pre-issues of the Ministry of War to give him a secret review of what happens in the future."
"Yeah!"
Thinking of Wen Xiang, who was recommended by Han Si, who was recommended when he returned to his hometown, had done a good job in the past six months and even got a steam engine from a foreigner. Yesterday, he asked a few craftsmen from the construction office to go to Tianjin to dismantle and study next month. Xianfeng said: "With the Ministry of Works, Wen Xiang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, has made efforts in patrol defense, and has been given the title of prefect, and has given the flower feathers. He ordered the officer to go to Tianjin next month to accept the sea grain transportation."
Yuanwailang was from the fifth rank, and he was from the fourth rank, and he was also awarded a flower feather!
