Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 55 Su Yi’s marriage!Wang Shiqing!

The emperor was stunned. The Queen Mother wanted to see Su Yi?

Why is this?

Then, he ordered: "Zenglu, go after Su Yi and take him to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace."

So Zenglu quickly walked out of Qianqing Palace and chased after him.

The emperor said: "Chongen, you tell me."

Chongen said: "Your Majesty, I once acted as a matchmaker for Su Yi, and the woman is Shen Baozhen's daughter. After Su Yi was dismissed from his post and returned to Beijing, Shen Baozhen immediately broke off the engagement and betrothed his daughter to Zhang Yuzhao. Even if Su Yi fails to live up to his expectations, he is still a member of the clan. How can it be so humiliating? Moreover, Zhang Yuzhao lost the last battle of Jiujiang. He once said in front of everyone that he would withdraw from the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination, and asked the Emperor for his advice."

The emperor's eyes were cold and he said: "In this case, let's discuss Zhang Yuzhao's participation in the provincial examination!"

The emperor, who usually obeyed Du Han's advice, directly refuted his face this time.

.........

As soon as Su Yi walked out of the palace gate, the eunuch Zeng Lu chased after him.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Su Yi stood still and said, "Eunuch Zeng, what's wrong? Slow down and take a breath!"

Zenglu said: "Good thing, great thing! The Queen Mother wants to see you, so come with us."

"Okay!" Su Yi stepped forward and asked Zenglu to help him.

There were two close eunuchs beside the emperor, Wang Chenggui, the general manager, and Zenglu, the deputy general manager.

Wang Chenggui is an enemy, but Zenglu frequently expresses kindness to him.

"Brother, the Queen Mother has been restless these years. Apart from the Emperor and Prince Gong, she has almost never seen anyone, and you are almost the only one." Zenglu said, "So, something good must have happened."

Su Yi said: "Thank you, Eunuch, for your kind words."

…………

Entering Cining Palace, Su Yi smelled a strong smell of medicinal stones.

There is also the smell of strong spices, presumably to suppress other flavors.

The Queen Mother, who was seriously ill, was lying on the couch, trying to hold herself up.

"Come, get closer." The Queen Mother tried hard.

Su Yi raised his head and suddenly felt as graceful as a dragon.

Beside the Queen Mother, there are two women, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left, it should be Queen Niugulu.

That is, the future Empress Dowager Ci'an, only now.

She looks... so beautiful!
And it's that kind of dignified sweetness, with a touch of nobility.

Inexplicably, it makes people feel like they are easy to bully.

However, the queen looked at Su Yi with an unfriendly look at this moment, because Su Yi had just killed her cousin's family.

But this look is not fierce at all, but looks cute.

And the woman on the right of the Queen Mother is even more beautiful!
It is truly exquisite and meticulously crafted.

This beauty is on par with Jueluo Qingqing and sister-in-law Bai Feifei.

The two women behind them are fatally seductive because of their maturity.

The girl on the right of the Queen Mother is simply unparalleled in appearance, and her beauty kills indiscriminately.

Su Yi respectfully saluted the Queen Mother and the Empress.

Seeing Su Yi come in, this beautiful girl blushed, immediately stood up, blessed the Queen Mother, left the bed, and went to the back.

Appear here?She should be the most beautiful princess in the legend, the late emperor's youngest daughter.

"Closer." The Queen Mother said.

Su Yi came closer again, and of course also approached the queen.

The aura of heroic spirit came towards him.

The Queen Mother looked at Su Yi's face and said, "What an impressive face. There have been few such impressive people in our family for hundreds of years."

Then, the Queen Mother asked: "When were you born?"

Su Yi said: "It was the ninth day of the eleventh month in the 14th year of Daoguang's reign."

The Queen Mother said: "Oh, I'm 21."

"She looks so good, so good." The Queen Mother sighed again, her words full of envy for Su Yi's heroic appearance and youth.

"There is one thing, please tell me honestly." The Queen Mother said.

Su Yi said: "Yes."

The Queen Mother asked: "Did you really come back from the dead, or did Zeng Guofan release water to spare your life?"

Su Yi said: "Replying to the Queen Mother, I really came back from the dead."

When saying this, Su Yi stared directly at the Queen Mother's eyes, extremely sincerely.

This is probably the most important reason why the Queen Mother summoned him.

"Okay, okay, that's really auspicious." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand towards Su Yi.

She didn't have much time left, so she longed for Su Yi's auspiciousness to be real.

Su Yi was stunned, then stepped forward and lowered his head.

The Queen Mother reached out and touched Su Yi's head, as if she wanted to touch this auspicious sign.

"Okay, okay, okay..." the Queen Mother said, "Have you been married yet?"

Su Yi said: "Not married yet!"

.........

Qianqing palace!

Prince Zheng Duanhua came out and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination, this servant also joins in the fun."

Xianfeng said: "Tell me and listen."

Duan Hua said: "I have served as an infantry commander and military parade minister, so warriors often come to serve. Recently, I discovered a gifted wizard. His strength and archery skills are unprecedented, and he is proficient in the art of war. When I saw this, I became interested. I wanted to recruit his subordinates, but he turned him down, saying that he had learned martial arts and sold his goods to the emperor's family, so he wanted to participate in the modern martial arts examination and be loyal to the emperor."

After hearing this, the emperor felt a little uninterested.

Du Han immediately asked: "I would like to know what kind of talent is worthy of Prince Zheng's praise? I, the Qing Dynasty, have conquered the world by horseback, and my riding and shooting skills are unparalleled in the world."

Prince Zheng Duanhua said: "Drawing a seventeen-strength bow, piercing a poplar with a hundred steps; dancing a 150-jin sword, easily reaching the top, and the swords on the front and back breasts are like flowers; lifting a 380-jin stone, and seals appear again and again! Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Six Tao , Wei Liaozi and other military books can be memorized backwards and forwards."

"impossible!"

Many generals present almost said the same thing.

To achieve any one of these four items is considered extremely remarkable.

To be able to achieve two of them is already one in a million.

Can it reach four? !

Then this is a talent of military commander that has not been seen for decades.

The martial arts champions in the past few subjects were far from this level.

The Eight Banners were once invincible in cavalry and archery, but only the ancestors of 200 years ago could use the seventeen-power bow.

In today's Eight Banners, almost no one can draw the seventeen-power bow.Sure enough, the emperor suddenly said with great interest: "Is there really such a great talent?"

Prince Zheng Duanhua said: "I will let someone find him right now to perform martial arts for the emperor!"

The emperor said: "Go and summon us!"

A quarter of an hour later, this great talent appeared in the palace.

This person is the No. 1 in the provincial martial arts examination in history, the No. 1 in the martial arts examination next year, and the No. 1 in the palace examination next year.

Wu Zhuangyuan Wang Shiqing.

As expected, he looked heroic and his whole body was filled with an explosive sense of power.

However, he has a loyal face and is also heroic.

The emperor's favor suddenly increased.

Duan Hua said: "Wang Shiqing, being able to perform martial arts for the emperor is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. Do you understand that you should devote [-]% of your energy?"

Wang Shiqing knelt down and said tremblingly: "The grassroots people will do their best!"

Next!
The emperor and his ministers were truly eye-opening.

Saw a magnificent performance.

This Wang Shiqing can really fire a seventeen-power top heavy bow, it's so powerful!

Replaced with soft arrows, shot ten consecutive arrows 150 steps apart, and each arrow hit the bullseye.

A true success can be achieved with a hundred steps.

The 150-pound sword can easily reach the top, and the sword dances, whizzes and flashes, which is breathtaking.

The 380-pound Shi Shuo cannot be lifted by two people.

But Wang Shiqing, with all his strength, lifted it up and easily revealed the stone seal.

Next, I memorized the military manual, and it was really smooth and flowing, without any mistakes.

This time, all the generals present were shocked.

The emperor was also surprised.

This is much more than all the top martial arts champions in the past few decades.

A true genius descended from heaven!

He was given a ring on the spot and carried directly to the Han Army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The ministers were surprised that they were given such great grace?Then the next step is to be promoted to the Eight Banners?

Wang Shiqing knelt down and burst into tears.

All the ministers present said one after another: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for acquiring such a great talent."

The emperor couldn't help but think of that sentence again, "The country is in chaos and misses a good general."

Could it be that Wang Shiqing in front of me is this good general?
If Su Yi had such ability, that would be great.Even [-]% of Wang Shiqing's is enough.

The emperor said: "Wang Shiqing, take the next martial arts exam well and bring glory to your parents and me."

Wang Shiqing trembled all over and said: "Common people, thank you Lord for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live!"

Duanhua said: "Your Majesty, today's Shuntianfu Township Examination, regardless of the civil and military examinations, is destined to be unprecedentedly grand. It is a sign of great prosperity."

The emperor was happy, as if half of the haze caused by the fall of Wuchang had been swept away.

But today the emperor seems destined to be strongly stimulated, and the big things don't stop there.

Just when it was time to disperse.

Someone outside shouted again: "Six hundred miles urgently, six hundred miles urgently."

Hearing this voice, Xianfeng's heart almost twitched and his face turned pale.

Now he is really afraid to hear that Six Hundred Miles hastened.

Because every time I hear these words, it is accompanied by miserable defeat.

But then, his eyes lit up.

Because the messenger has a red scarf tied on his arm.

This...is this good news?
The messenger knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, Hubei Governor Zeng Guofan reported victory. He defeated the rebel defenders and captured Puqi first and Xianning City later!"

There is a certain deviation from history here.

After Zeng Guofan was defeated in Jiujiang, he did not move to defend Nanchang, but returned to the north to regain the lost territory.

Of course this is logical.

Historically, Zeng Guofan did not get the post of governor of Hubei, but was snatched away by Tao Enpei, so the enthusiasm for regaining the lost land in Hubei was certainly not high.

And here, he got the post of governor of Hubei as he wished. After the defeat in the Battle of Jiujiang, most of Hubei fell. Zeng Guofan's top priority was to regain the lost territory.

Therefore, he chose to send his troops north to attack Xianning.

The Hunan Army won the battles of Puqi and Xianning a few months earlier than in history.

Shi Dakai's side captured Wuchang, and Zeng Guofan's side recaptured Xianning. It was almost a matter of sequence.

And the reward for defeat is to always try to walk slower and wait for the victory.

As a result, there was a situation where defeat was reported first and victory was reported later. This was also Zeng Guofan's intention.

The emperor looked at Zeng Guofan's memorial and apologized first, then expressed his determination.

After taking Xianning, Zeng Guofan continued to recruit soldiers and horses, joined forces with Hu Linyi non-stop, and then joined forces to attack Wuchang, which was bound to take back Wuchang City for the emperor.

After the emperor read the memorial, he took a long breath.

It seemed that I was lucky today because I discovered Su Yi's loyal and sincere heart first.

Then he discovered the amazing talent Wang Shiqing.

Next, came the great victory of Xianning.

The decree to remove Zeng Guofan as governor of Hubei has been drawn up, so it is difficult to change it.

It won’t change.

When did Zeng Guofan recapture Wuchang and return the governor to him?

But now that he and Hu Linyi have joined forces and are sharpening their swords to retake Wuchang, this morale cannot be let down.

Encouragement needed to be expressed, and Zeng Guofan had just won a battle, so as the emperor, he could not show no expression at all.

So, the emperor said: "Du Han, what did you say before?"

Du Han heard Xian's close friend and said: "This Shuntianfu Provincial Examination is destined to be an unprecedented event, so the Emperor might as well show his grace and let Zhang Yuzhao withdraw his previous vow and take part in the Jinke Provincial Examination."

The emperor said: "Let's do it this way. In addition, give Zeng Guofan a decree to let him realize his shame and be brave enough to take back Wuchang."

Du Han said: "I obey your order!"

As a result, the Shuntian Prefecture Civil and Military Examination in this subject was destined to become famous all over the world.
