"Lao Liu," Xianfeng took advantage of observing Lan Guiren's "reaction to eating cakes" and discussed with Yi Si the matter of raising and subduing demons. "This physical evidence of demons descended from the sky...Lan'er has already eaten it. , it should be true! Where is the witness? Have you asked? And does the Tu Lama from the Rakshasa Kingdom have any tricks against the Bull Demon King?"
"Return to your Majesty," Prince Gong Yixin replied, "I have already interrogated the witness Guarjia Yuanbao, and also interrogated Hong Ni Daquan, the brother of the Cantonese bandit leader Hong Ni Xiuquan, and Tupolev of the Rakshasa Kingdom The lama also participated in the questioning and interrogation. According to Lama Natu, Hong Nixiuquan, the Cantonese bandit, worshiped the devil leader of the West, and the bull demon who landed in the air was not the bull devil here, but from the West. Devil Satan!"
Xianfeng frowned and said worriedly: "There really is a Western devil!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Prince Gong said in a hurry, "The Western devil may have great magic power in the sky, but after he descends to the mortal world, his magic power is not very powerful." "How can you see that?"
"Your Majesty, that box of mooncakes is proof!" Prince Gong explained, "That's the striker Xiao Guaerjia. After Yuanbao fought with the devil for three rounds, he got it from the devil's waist...Three devils He couldn't win even one of my Manchurian forwards in every round, and even lost a box of mooncakes, how powerful can he be?"
Xianfeng nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This Yuanbao should be rewarded with a batulu! The forward school is too small, so I will give him a second-class guard later!" Yuanbao has made a lot of money now!
Although the second-class guard is only a fourth-grade military attache, not much older than the city gate school, the second-class guard is a close minister of the emperor, and it is more than enough to be sent out to serve as a green battalion deputy general. Moreover, Yuanbao can also get a batulu!
Prince Gong then said to Xianfeng: "As for that Rakshasa Lama, he still knows some Western methods of subduing demons." "Oh? What method? Let's talk about it."
"Lama Natu said he would make a "holy bomb" that was specially used to blow up demons and fight in the West!" Prince Gong said, "According to Lama Tu, he once used this holy bomb to deal with demons in Turkey in the West!" I have already allocated him a thousand taels of silver and told him to build a batch first to see if they are really powerful. I will personally lead the soldiers of the Eight Banners to take the holy bomb and go south to kill the demons!"
What? Are you going south in person? Xianfeng immediately became vigilant!
Yixinna is Prince Gong. This is the prince who was named by the late emperor in the secret edict of establishing a heir. He cannot be more iron-clad! He wants to lead the troops south, and he must be given to a general king. Huguang, the Eight Banners of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Green Camp, and the regiment training Everyone has to listen to him. If he defeats the long-haired Cantonese bandits and returns the favor to the court, shouldn't the emperor need to be replaced?
You old man... you are very ambitious!
Although he was doubting Yi?, Xianfeng's pockmarked face was filled with a trusting smile: "Okay, okay, Lao Liu, you are indeed my good brother! But after all, you are my prince of the Qing Dynasty, so you can't take it easy. Go out, if something goes wrong, the world will be panicked? Even if nothing happens, people inside and outside the capital will see you kissing each other, and people will be panicked."
Yi Xin had long known that his fourth brother was not at ease with him, so he had already prepared his backup plan and immediately followed Xianfeng's words: "The emperor is right, the servant is indeed unqualified... otherwise the emperor will let How about Shengbao, leading Yuanbao and Tu Lama, Qianza Beijing's powerful Beijing Banners and a thousand holy bombs, and a batch of sophisticated firearms heading south to get rid of the bull demon from the West?"
If you can't go, why don't you let your confidants go?
Xianfeng felt like a mirror in his heart, but this time he did not refuse, because it was easy for these Prince Gong’s confidants to leave the capital, but it was difficult to come back! Xianfeng smiled and nodded and said: "Okay! Liu, since I will kill you I leave the task of slaying demons to you, and of course I trust the people you recommend."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yi hurriedly raised his hand, "I will definitely supervise them to slay demons for the country."
"Go back and discuss it with the people in the military aircraft department and come up with a specific strategy." Xianfeng looked at the dim sky outside the window again: "It's getting late, Lao Liu, please kneel down."...
Yi Xin had already left, and Xianfeng looked through the window of the dragon boat at this strong and good brother leaving quickly. After a while, he turned back and looked at Lan Guiren, and found that she looked more beautiful than before. Even more beautiful! It seems that the mooncakes are harmless to mortals.
Xianfeng smiled and said: "Lan'er, bring me the mooncakes. I'm a little hungry too. I want to taste the mooncakes falling from the sky." "Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Guiren smiled and handed it over. Half a mooncake in a small plastic box.
"Haha..." Emperor Xianfeng smiled and took the small plastic box handed over by Lan Guiren. He carefully looked at the material of the box and nodded, "It is indeed not a mortal thing!" As he spoke, He picked up half of the mooncake with his fingers and ate it in one bite...it was so good, he felt energetic after eating it!
..
"Come on, come on, you'll be shallow and I'll be deep, brother Zhonghua, we'll be drunk together today!"
At this moment, in a tavern in a small alley outside Zhengyangmen, Yuanbao was pouring a bowl of wine diligently to a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with a fair, round face and swollen eyes, and then poured a bowl of wine. I filled it up for myself. This "Brother Zhonghua" is a distant relative of Yuanbao. His surname is Guerjia. Zhonghua is his trade name. His real name is Ronglu - the favorite of the Queen Mother of the West. Guerjia.Ronglu!
Ronglu and his father, Changshou, lived in Fujian before. His father was a general in the army in Fujian at that time. He was the son of the general's army and lived a very comfortable life. Later, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out, his father, Changshou, and his uncle, Changrui, got together. Together they followed Sai Shang'a to Guangxi to deal with the Taiping Army. As a result, they were both killed in the Dadong ambush. They were considered "died in the same year, same month and same day".
Therefore, young Ronglu, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, had no choice but to carry the coffin back to Beijing. He arrived in Beijing with Yuanbao, just a few days early.
In addition to his dead father and dead uncle, Ronglu also received an unexpected piece of bad news after returning to Beijing. Lan'er, his childhood sweetheart and a close relative, was drafted into the palace to serve Xianfeng! He It was his dead father, his dead uncle, his girlfriend and the emperor... They were all so unlucky. As Ronglu's brother and boyhood playmate, Yuanbao had to comfort him.
However, Yuanbao himself is also "poor in heart"!
Because he had just learned from his brother Shengbao that his lover, he, had pulled him. Li'er participated in the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and entered the palace in February this year, and sealed Li Gui. When he thought of his lover, he, he pulled his sister, and became someone else. My little wife, Yuanbao felt really unspeakable pain!
But what can be done? This is the fate of a bannerman man!
Yuanbao took a sip of yellow soup and said: "Zhonghua, this is the fate of our banner people! Men join the army to serve the country and shed blood on the battlefield, and women are drafted into the palace to serve the king. It is really hard..." When he said this, tears fell down. Yes, it looks even sadder than Ronglu.
Although Rong Lu and Lan Guiren were childhood sweethearts, they were childhood sweethearts when they were still young and did not understand the affairs between men and women! However, Yuanbao and Li Guiren had been in love with each other for a long time.
The two of them also made an appointment to marry Yuanbao after he and Talash finished handling the draft. But they didn't expect that he and Talash would be selected in the first selection, and now he has become a noble lady.
Yuanbao may have drunk too much, and his words were inevitably filled with resentment: "It's as deep as the sea once you enter the palace, and you will never see me again... Zhonghua, tell me, we Eight Banners disciples, Why can't we just be like the rich Han people outside, having beautiful wives and concubines, hugging each other?
The emperor's family is obviously rich all over the world, why do they have to compete with us for those few bannermen aunts in Beijing? Choose... I have chosen the better ones, leaving us some crooked melons and bad dates, which are still rare, no If you don’t have a house, no errands, and no wealth, you won’t be able to catch an old girl who was released from the palace in her late twenties and early thirties!
