Chapter 478 Prince Gong: Come quickly, enter the palace and grab Lan'er! (please order, please vote)

"What? Lao Taishan, what did you say?"

Prince Gong couldn't believe his ears, staring at Gui Liang who was trying hard to pretend to be sad.

"Prince, the emperor may be captured by the hair!" Gui Liang gritted his teeth, squeezed out a few tears, followed by a few more books of the book, and handed it to Prince Gong, "This is the book of Senggelinqin, Shengbao, Zeng Guofan, and Yuan Jiasan sent people to Beijing overnight. Please check it out!"

"This...\n.\n" Prince Gong's hands were shaking, and I don't know whether they were surprised or happy, maybe both!

He hurriedly took out the note handed by his confidant Sheng Bao from a pile of notes, and after unfolding it, he looked at it word by word. The more he looked, the tighter his eyebrows became, and soon the word "chuan" appeared on his forehead.

There are two reasons why he frowned. One is that the Battle of Baoying was really tragic. The army that lost 100,000 troops was defeated, and the number of soldiers and generals was difficult to calculate. The troops who fled to the north of the Huai River were estimated to be 30,000 to 40,000, and artillery, food, camp tents, vehicles and other large items were almost all lost! Even muskets, spears, swords, and other weapons that could be carried with them were not many. At least half of the troops running across the Huai River were empty-handed!

In addition, the army's system has been completely chaotic, and the soldiers cannot find generals, and the generals cannot find soldiers. The military discipline is in chaos. The troops fled all the way, harming the people, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. They also had conflicts with the regiment training armed forces in the two prefectures of Huai'an and Xuzhou!

The second one that made Prince Gong feel overwhelmed was...\n:::.Shengbao was just "reported" that Xianfeng was captured, and there was no real call. Shengbao just heard someone on the battlefield "catch Xianfeng" and did not see Xianfeng with his own eyes being tied up and caught. In addition, after he ran back north of the Huai River, he searched for a long time but couldn't look for Xianfeng, so he wrote this note to Prince Gong.

Putting down Shengbao's memorial, Prince Gong picked up Senggelinqin's memorial and read it.

The losses reported by Senggelinqin were similar to those reported by Shengbao. The army of ten directions had been lost for six or seven directions, and the rest had been temporarily abandoned and completely lost their combat effectiveness. As for the capture of Xianfeng, his statement seemed to be more reliable. Several Mongolian cavalry under him saw a group of "yellow jackets" protecting a "black jacket" and rushing out of the camp and running eastward, and were bitten by a group of yellow cavalry of the Taiping Army.::

Prince Gong's brows were slightly loosened. Needless to say, those who wore yellow jackets were just guards who protected the emperor! The yellow jacket was an honor for others to "reward" and a work clothes for guards who protected the emperor. As for the "black jacket" protected by the yellow jacket, it was probably Xianfeng.

The Qing emperors did not always wear dragon robes. The dazzling clothes were usually only worn when attending courts and attending ceremonies. They usually wore regular clothes, and they often wore dark robes when they went out for a walk.

According to Senggelinqin, Xianfeng was going to follow the footsteps of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty and was caught in Changmao's place to go to prison!

Prince Gong put down Senggelinqin's memorial and then read the memorials of Zeng Guofan and Yuan Jiasan.

They were also "reported" by the emperor. In addition to this, they also said that Hong Xiuquan's sedan chair was hit, as if they said that Hong Xiuquan was beaten to death! But after a while, Hong Xiuquan flew back from the sky in a hot air balloon, but the long hair suddenly went crazy like chicken blood. The Qing army was so scared that they broke down.

Alas, speaking of it, superstitious about this thing is to kill people!

After reading these four memorials, Prince Gong fell into deep thought, frowned tightly, and gently tapped his fingers on his desk, as if he was beating a drum beat, and his heart was also looking at the small abacus.

"Prince...\n...\n" Gui Liang saw Prince Gong silently, and hurried forward and whispered like a thief, "The country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Prince Gong looked up at Guiliang, Guiliang took a deep breath, and then continued, "Prince...\n.\n. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Good opportunity?" Prince Gong frowned, "Old Taishan, what are you planning to do?"

"Prince," said Gui Liang, "You are now the left-behind of the capital, and you are also the Minister of Beiyang, holding the Beiyang New Army of Tianjin Guards. I am the Minister of War, and I am also the Admiral of the Nine Gate and the Commander of the Infantry...\nThe troops in the capital are all in our hands!"

"But...\n." Prince Gong narrowed his eyes, "The emperor and the eldest prince!"

Gui Liang shook his head: "The eldest prince is still a little kid...\n:::.The country is in trouble now, and we must be able to support it!"

Prince Gong looked at Guiliang with a thunderous thought: "Do you want me to do that traitorous thing?

"It's not a traitor," Gui Liang shook his head and said, "This is all for our Qing Dynasty! Prince, now is not a time to hesitate. You quickly order the ministers of the Interior Affairs Office and several ministers in the leadership of the Interior Guard to come to the palace. I immediately transfer the infantry of the Patrol Camp to stand guard for the Prince's Mansion. As for the Tianjin Guard, let Wenxiang run and promise to give Li Hongzhang a Beiyang minister Dangdang, and ask him to bring three thousand Beiyang troops into the capital to protect the palace!"

"no!"

Prince Gong shook his head firmly, then stood up "swoosh": "It's too slow.:

This matter must be fast, and if it slows down, it may cause some trouble! Old Taishan, please transfer a patrol battalion to me immediately. I will take them and the escorts of the royal palace and set off immediately...\n..\n.\n Must grab Concubine Yi and the eldest prince!"

As he said that, he fisted hard, as if he was talking about the person who dared to block his way.

Concubine Yi was a "destined person of the Qing Dynasty"! If she didn't grab her at the first time, Prince Gong was not at all at ease.

She was just thinking about what was going on. Prince Gong had already brought several guards from Prince Gong's mansion and his confidant chief supervisor, holding the eldest prince Zaichun, coaxing the child, and walking into Chuxiu Palace with unrecognizable relatives.

Seeing Concubine Yi at the entrance of the Chuxiu Palace Hall, Prince Gong didn't treat him, but sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, I just received a report from the people below...\n.\n.\nThe Emperor was defeated in Baoying and was captured by Changmao. Now I have no emperor anymore!"

When Concubine Yi heard this, her calves became weak and she almost sat on the ground.

She originally thought that Prince Gong was obsessed with profit and wanted to take advantage of Emperor Xianfeng's palace to seize the throne.

Unexpectedly, the situation was worse than this. The emperor was captured and the Qing Dynasty had no emperor.:·.: No, the Qing Dynasty had an emperor, and Prince Gong is the emperor now!

Concubine Yi changed her mind and immediately understood what Prince Gong wanted to do, and also knew the situation of his eldest prince.

Thinking of this, she just sighed slowly and said with tears: "Sixth Master, the country cannot be without a king for a day,
