Chapter 227 The Four Gods from the West (please order, please vote)
The emperor actually used the governors of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu as cakes!
When the ministers heard what Xianfeng said, they all sighed in their hearts - the prerequisite for Luo Xueyan or other regiment leaders to become governor of Liangjiang or governor of Jiangsu is to regain the city of Jiangning!
And Jiangning City has not been lost yet, it is only besieged now. Is it too early to say that it will be recovered?
Although everyone knew that Jiangning City was hopeless, no one wanted to say it... Unexpectedly, Xianfeng himself pierced the window paper today.
However, no one above the main hall cared about this matter with Xianfeng anymore. If Xianfeng's current situation is any better than that of Chongzhen who was hanging on Jingshan Mountain, it is probably because the servants below did not dare to argue with him, so he said whatever he said.
So now he can pierce the window paper that "Jiang Ning must be lost"
The advantage of breaking through this layer of window paper is very obvious, that is, Jiangsu Governor Yiliang and Anhui Governor Zhou Tianjue do not have to search for troops everywhere to send them to Jiangning, a battlefield that must be defeated.
They had not collected many soldiers to begin with, but when they were all sent away, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces would all have the surname Hong!
Therefore, Xianfeng now has no face at all, but he can save some of his lining.
After understanding Xianfeng's thoughts, the ministers below once again shouted in unison: "The Emperor is wise!"
Sheng Ming lost his face!
Xianfeng, who was already shameless, continued: "Now the third happy thing I want to say is that the consuls of England, France, and the United States and the Nanjing diocese sent by the Western Roman Church have confirmed that the Bull Demon King is their Christian
The monsters that escaped from the West...and the church in Rome also has a special exorcism department, which is responsible for exorcising monsters!"
When Xianfeng said this, his pockmarked face was already full of joy, as if the Eight Banners disciples in Jiangning City who were bound to be killed by the Taiping Army had nothing to do with him. Then, Xianfeng's pockmarked face with rich expressions appeared again.
Melancholy: “But the exorcism of the Roman Church
Demons and demon hunters are very arrogant. I have to send an imperial envoy to invite them before they are willing to come to the Qing Dynasty to conquer demons. If I don’t send an imperial envoy, they will not come. Everyone has a discussion.
Discussion, what should we do? Should we send an imperial envoy? Who is willing to go through this?"
After hearing Xianfeng's question, the ministers of Houjing immediately understood the holy intention - the emperor must want to send imperial missions to the West!
But this "foreign commerce" is not easy to get out!
Because foreigners have been tinkering with "repairing the treaty" for several years, Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is almost annoyed by the foreigners... He can't give the foreigners what they want, and he can't fight with the foreigners, so he doesn't dare to fight with them.
The foreigners turned against each other, and I was really worried to death.
This was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who was still on the territory of the Qing Dynasty. If he let the foreign missionaries go to the territory of the foreigners, he would not be forced by the foreign devils into desperation and obediently sign an unequal treaty?
Maybe the foreign adults in Europe saw that the officials of the Qing Dynasty were all upright, and in anger they would "kill the envoy"!
Even if he withstood the pressure and didn't sign an unequal treaty, and he wasn't beheaded, Quan Xu Quanwei came back, and there was still Qingliu Wuyuan to deal with!
Those Qingliu guys don't care how difficult the foreign trade is, they just spray.
The "foreign missions" related to the Opium War in the early years ended up like this. The warring faction, the peacemaker faction, and the double-faced faction all suffered bad luck, with few exceptions. Therefore, ordinary ministers were unwilling to touch this foreign mission.
Of course, there are exceptions...but they are rare, not absent.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to show some sincerity when we ask for help. If we are not willing to send an imperial envoy, why should the Holy See send people to our place to slay demons for us? It's "Journey to the West" When the King of Tang requested to obtain the Western Scriptures, didn't he also send his younger brother Tang Sanzang to lead Sun Houhou, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha to complete the errand?"
The person who talks about "Journey to the West" is not afraid of political criticism, because he is Prince Gong Yi?, the second master of the Qing Dynasty!
Qingliu Wu's discussion only discusses the servants below and the ministers who are not qualified to be slaves. Who dares to discuss it, master? The master and slave don't know their superiority, how can this official be so good?
"Your Majesty, my servant Sushun also thinks that we should send envoys abroad... Even if we want to convey the decree to the Roman Church, someone must deliver it. We can't let the envoys of England and France and the United States convey it, right? This is also inappropriate. The ancestral system of my Qing Dynasty and the imperial edict of my Qing Emperor have absolutely no reason to be passed on by foreigners."
The person who spoke after Prince Gong was Sushun. He is the son of Prince Zheng. He is a dignified Aixinjueluo. The current emperor’s confidant is not afraid of material criticism. Moreover, he will make excuses because the imperial decree of the Qing Emperor cannot allow foreigners to come. pass!
Which Qingliu dares to say something is wrong?
Moreover, he also described going to the Western Heaven to "invite God" as "going to the Western Heaven to deliver edicts." At first glance, it sounded as if the Roman Church was a vassal of the Qing emperor. "In fact, there is precedent for the emperor to send edicts to Rome!"
The third person who spoke was a "filial son" dressed in white. It was Du Han, the son of Du Shoutian. He is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry and learned to walk on military aircraft - he is the minister of military aircraft!
"Oh?" Xianfeng looked at his mentor's son with a smile, "Is it the precedent set by the Holy Patriarch or Gao Zongye?"
"No," Duhan said, "according to the "Secret History of Mongolia", the Mongolian Khan Guiyou once sent an envoy to Rome to convey the Khan's imperial edict to the archbishop of the Roman Church!
Your Majesty, you are not only the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Bulunzasak Khan of the Great Mongolia! You can definitely follow the example of Guyuk Khan and pass the decree to Rome.
"Haha!" Xianfeng laughed loudly, "That makes sense! I am still the Great Khan of Mongolia, so I can follow the precedent of Guiyou Khan... Since there are benefits to follow, I decided to send an envoy to Rome and ask the Roman Church to send a magician. We, the Qing Dynasty, will fight against demons together!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Since there are examples to follow, the ministers below can only call Shengming.
Xianfeng was in a good mood, nodded, and asked with a smile: "Then who can go to the West, no, the West?"
It was completely silent down there!
No one wants to take this job... It's one thing to call "Sage", but it's another thing to "go to the West".
Besides, without Monkey Sun, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha accompanying us, what would we do if we encountered monsters from England, France, and the United States?
Xianfeng's face suddenly turned from sunny to gloomy. His eyes slowly passed over the group of ministers and servants kneeling below, and finally fell on his confidant Sushun.
Sushun had been stealing glances at Xianfeng, and naturally he noticed the expectant look that Xianfeng was looking at!
Moreover, Sushun had made some calculations and felt that he was the only one among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty who could make this trip.
First of all, the Han ministers are definitely not suitable. All the Han people who can kneel in the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall to participate in the court meeting are all Qingliu leaders. Qingliu leaders go abroad and betray their country? If you do this, don't you want people to hate you?
Now, the only Manchus and Mongols who are important and clear-minded in the court are Prince Gong, Prince Monk and him.
Prince Gong cannot go abroad. Although he is very keen on Westernization, his current "national foundation" - although someone in Xianfeng's harem is pregnant, as long as the son is not raised, Prince Gong is the "national foundation", that is, The number one heir to the throne.
If Xianfeng accidentally... dies, the emperor will have to be Prince Gong. How can he leave the country? A country cannot live without a king for a day!
Secondly, the monk king is not suitable to go abroad. The monk king still has to train his troops to protect the Qing Dynasty!
Since neither King Gong nor King Monk can do it, then he is the only one!
"Your Majesty, my servant Sushun is willing to visit the Roman city in the west!" Sushun kowtowed quickly and asked Xianfeng for the job of "the leader of the Western Heavenly Religion".
Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Sushun, you are indeed my loyal minister!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Sushun said humbly.
"Now that we have the chief envoys, we are still lacking a few deputy envoys. Who can serve?" Xianfeng asked again.
"Your Majesty," Prince Gong suggested, "Second-class bodyguard Yuan Bao witnessed the demon coming into the world and fought against the demon, so he should act as deputy envoy."
Xianfeng nodded: "Yuanbao can...but one deputy is too few, at least one deputy and three assistants, right?"
One sergeant and three mates, "four masters and apprentices", good luck.
"Your Majesty," Sushun thought of someone himself, "Bai Siwen, who is in charge of Rakshasa affairs in the Lifan Court, understands Rakshasa language and Christianity, and can also be a deputy envoy."
Xianfeng nodded: "There is still one missing... Let's recommend a Han Chinese. It is best to be a young talent, similar to that Luo Xueyan. When he comes back from overseas and has broadened his horizons, he will be of great use. Maybe he will be another Luo Xueyan." "
