After explaining the affairs in Nanyuan, he hurried back to the city to submit a sign to be summoned, but after waiting for the summons for a short period of time, Han Xiufeng finally realized what "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry"!

Ronglu, Wang Qianli, Yongxiang, Wang Hedong and others were anxious to death because of the approaching foreigners, but neither inside nor outside the palace felt that they could rest easy with Seng Gelinqin there. Almost no one was worried that the foreigners would come.

commit.

Everyone is busy preparing for the emperor's thirtieth birthday. The day before yesterday, the Ministry of Rites led the North Korean envoy Ren Baijing and three other people to pay homage to Tongyuan. Yesterday, Taichang Temple summoned officials from various ministries to worship in the apse of the Imperial Ancestral Temple; today

Even more busy, all the princes and ministers came out to worship Fuling, Zhaoling, Zhaoxiling, Xiaoling, Xiaodongling, Jingling, Tailing, Taidongling, Yuling, Changling, Changxiling and Muling.

And Mu Dongling!

I heard Ji Xiang said that tomorrow we will send officials to pay homage to Queen Xiaode's Funeral Palace, Xianyou Palace, Dongyue Temple, and Chenghuang Temple.

The day after tomorrow is the official day of the emperor's longevity. The emperor will go to the Zhengda Guangming Hall to receive congratulatory gifts from the king's ministers, the Mongolian king, Beile, Beizi, Gong, civil and military officials and envoys from foreign vassals. Then he will drive to the paradise and give the king's ministers, Mongolia

The king, Beile, Beizi, Duke and envoys from foreign vassals were given food.

Rewards are indispensable. The emperor just issued an edict at noon yesterday, "Thirty thousand years of life, Kaize Tanfu, all those who have participated in the revolution in the past send their condolences to all members and congratulate them on duty. The Minister of Military Aircraft is specially ordered to investigate the case and issue a bill.

Examine the case in detail and grant appropriate favors."

The former Sichuan Admiral Wan Fu, who had been dismissed long ago, and the former Hunan Admiral Yingjun were both awarded the sixth-grade crown. The former Guangxi Admiral Hui Qing was awarded the seventh-grade crown; the former second-class bodyguard Qingzhi was awarded the banner.

The Knight Riding School; Qinggui, the former Lan Ling bodyguard, was awarded to the Knight Riding School of our banner...

What is even more ridiculous is that a ninety-two-year-old Sichuan student named Wang Jinjie actually came to Beijing to congratulate him. When the emperor learned about it, he was very happy and rewarded him with a piece of satin and ten taels of silver.

To express the intention of celebrating Xi Qi’s new year.

As for the urgent summoning of Fengchen Yuanqing, who was supposed to catch birds and animals outside his mouth, back to the capital, it was also not because of Tianjin's coastal defense, but because Shi Dakai had actually escaped into Sichuan.

Looking at the booklet handed over by the emperor, Han Xiufeng asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you plan to order your ministers to return to Sichuan to supervise the team training?"

Xianfeng put on his dragon robe with his back turned to him while being served by two young eunuchs. He said without looking back: "I would like you to go back to Sichuan, but I know you will not be willing to go back. You are fine anywhere.

It's just that I'm too cautious, and it's precisely because I know your loyalty that I just... allowed you to handle Nanyuan's errands in the past two years."

"Your Majesty, it is clear that I am not afraid of the Western Barbarians, nor have I been scared out of my wits by the Western Barbarians."

"I know, listen to me." Xianfeng looked back and whispered: "Sichuan is the only perfect province in the southwest, and we must not make any mistakes. A month and a half ago, due to the critical military affairs of Sichuan, I planned to order Zuo Zongtang

He went to supervise the work and asked Zeng Guanwen, Hu Linyi and others whether Zuo Zongtang was qualified for the job.

As a result, the official document was written by Hu Linyi, and Zuo Zongtang supervised the military affairs of Sichuan Province, but it was difficult to achieve quick results. If Liu Changyou was ordered to enter Chongqing from Youxiu, the route would be very quick and the protection would be great. I thought that Zuo Zongtang could not take charge of it alone, so

There is no need for him to go to Sichuan, so let him stay in Hubei to handle Zeng Guofan's military affairs."

Han Xiufeng was thinking that it was important for Shi Da to invade Sichuan, but no matter how important it was, he did not pay attention to the blockade of Tianjin and even Shandong. The two foreigners who had intercepted several sand transporting ships were important.

It is not appropriate to order Liu Changyou to come in at this time. Remembering that Hunan is still quiet, I immediately went to Sichuan with Luo Bingzhang to supervise military affairs."

"Your Majesty, with Master Luo supervising Sichuan's military affairs, Sichuan will be able to rest easy!"

"It would be great if it is as you said. Although I allow him to choose Hunan gentry who are knowledgeable in military affairs, he will bring them there at his discretion, and recruit more Hunan warriors to help him suppress the army. With official documents, Hu Linyi will send them as many as he can. He handed it over to the commissioner, but I still don’t feel reassured after thinking about it, after all, he is not familiar with Sichuan.”

Han Xiufeng was very worried about the foreigners, but he was even more worried about the safety of his hometown. He weighed it and said resolutely: "I dare not be arrogant because of favors. The emperor asked me to go back, so I immediately returned to Sichuan with the order! As for Nanyuan's errand, I am bold. Recommend someone."

"Who are you going to recommend?"

"I recommend that I recommend you to be the candidate for Dao Ronglu in Zhili."

"Rong Lu, I remembered that this slave is an honest man, but I don't plan to order you back to Sichuan for the time being." Xianfeng turned around, looked at him with a smile and said: "I ordered Sichuan to conduct team training a few days ago. , and ordered the officials in Beijing to report their knowledge and send them there in anticipation of the order. To Zhao Shuji, who was in charge of the matter, he asked Jian to send Li Xing, who was currently registered in Youchunfang, the former Zhanshi Prefecture, to be the minister of regiment training in Sichuan, and the former deputy governor of Chengdu Prefecture, Yang Chongya. I was very kind to Li Xing for the regiment training, and gave Li Xing the title of fifth-rank minister, and ordered him to immediately follow the regiment training regulations drawn up by Henan and other provinces, carry out the method of strengthening the wall and clearing the field, observe the situation, and handle it appropriately."

Han Xiufeng asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, when you urgently summon me back to the capital, do you plan to ask me to recommend a few useful people?"

"You can't let me go, and I can't let you and Datou go, so I can only ask you to recommend a few suitable candidates. After all, he has supervised team training in his hometown and is more familiar with the situation in his hometown in Sichuan than others."

"emperor……"

"Okay, I'm busy. If you find someone suitable, please recommend me as soon as possible."

"I obey the order." Han Xiufeng hurriedly stood up and muttered: "Your Majesty, I only supervised the regiment training in eastern Sichuan. At that time, Shi Dakai was invading Hubei and was planning to take over the Changmao army entrenched in Wuchang City. If he was really allowed to The consequences of success would be disastrous, so I did not dare to slack off. Not only did I lay some groundwork in eastern Sichuan, but I also deliberately left behind a few registered officials and Minggan gentry who planned to accompany me to Hubei to help suppress the long-haired people."

"I knew you wouldn't worry about the safety of your hometown."

"I have selfish motives, I am frightened, and I deserve death for my crime..."

"No one can make mistakes without being a sage. What's more, it is your hometown after all. I forgive you for your guilt."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Thank you very much. Let me know quickly which officials and gentry are of great use."

"I obey the order," Han Xiufeng calmed down and carefully picked up Pan Er and other confidants who had stayed in his hometown. When the emperor nodded slightly, he added, "I still remember someone."

"Who?" Xianfeng asked subconsciously.

"Former Yichang Town Commander-in-Chief Hu Songlin!"

"Hu Song Lin..." Xianfeng subconsciously turned around and asked: "Datou, is Hu Song Lin the little tiger you once said?"

Datou, who had never dared to speak, said hurriedly: "Yes, my fourth brother is talking about Xiaohu. His father died in the battle the year before last. I didn't know it at first, but later I heard that my fourth brother said that the emperor still issued a decree to give you mercy and return your life. Build ancestral halls for tigers in Lishui, Hushu and the places where tigers died in battle."

"I also remembered this. He Chun once reported that Hu Kunyuan had been in the army for eight years and was loyal and brave. He was good at attacking the masses with a small number and defended the city. The money that father and son received was used to support warriors and flags. All of them are invincible. It was because I thought that Hu Kunyuan died for the country that I allowed Hu Songlin to return to his hometown Dingyou."

"Your Majesty is kind and kind," Han Xiufeng said quickly.

"Since Xiaohu is in Sichuan, order him to help in the suppression." Xianfeng paused, turned to look at Han Xiufeng and said: "Draw up a list of the people I just mentioned. I will look back and see if I can reward you.

If you are worthy of recognition, you will be rewarded with additional titles. You should also write a few letters to them and ask them to do their jobs with sincerity. As long as they can make meritorious deeds, I will not hesitate to reward them!"
