Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 54 Su Yi shocked the court!The harem is summoned!
time!
Xianfeng's heart suddenly warmed up.

It even drove away some of the coldness caused by the defeat just now.

Good minister!
I didn't realize before that Su Yi was so loyal.

For the sake of his majesty as an emperor, he even gave up the official position he had obtained.

No wonder Chongen valued him so much and was so loyal. He was truly one of a kind.

And the group of people who objected couldn't help but be confused.

What kind of medicine is sold in Su Yi's gourd?

Retreat to advance?

Or is it really so noble?
The emperor's voice became gentler and said: "Su Yi, what do you want? Tell me!"

I want to train.

I want to train a new army.

I want military power!I want a bigger officer, but I can't stand this military official.

This is the only thing Su Yi wants, and it is also his absolute goal.

However, I can't say it now.

Now Su Yi's achievements and reputation cannot support this requirement. Now he is still burdened with the reputation of running away from battle, being defeated repeatedly, and being incompetent on the battlefield, which is not enough.

Su Yi said emotionally: "How did I lose my official position before? I have to get it back on my own."

"Everyone in the world says that the bannermen are confused, the clan is useless, and the whole world relies on the Hunan Army for war, but the clan has indeed disappointed the emperor."

"The master humiliated the minister to death!"

"I want to win a reputation for the emperor, restore the reputation of the clan, and win a reputation for the Eight Banners."

Su Yi's words seemed to have entered Xianfeng's heart.

Suddenly, I had a better impression of him.

"So I only have one request!"

The emperor said: "You tell me."

Su Yi said: "I sincerely request you to take part in the provincial civil examination examination next month, and I sincerely request you to take part in the provincial examination for martial arts examination next month."

"I want to participate in the civil and military examinations at the same time!"

"If I am lucky enough to take any subject in high school, I can stop the mouth of the world."

"If I am lucky enough to be in high school in both subjects, I will ask the Emperor to give me an opportunity to be loyal to the country and to the Emperor."

Su Yi doesn't say that I am the first in high school in two subjects now. He says that if I am lucky, I will be in high school in two subjects.

Suddenly the audience fell silent!

It can be said that everyone was shocked.

Including the emperor.

Many people even doubt that you, Su Yi, have gone crazy?For hundreds of years, no one has been able to participate in the civil and military examinations at the same time. So you are a standout and want to go to high school at the same time?Daydreaming?How many years have you studied?How many years have you been practicing martial arts?
The whole hall was shocked, and then the entire capital was shocked.This is the effect you want.

Nowadays, Su Yi's holy love is very strong, and the emperor is full of affection for him.

Next, if Su Yi successfully wins the civil and military championship.

Can you imagine what kind of shock it brought to the emperor?What kind of shock will it bring to the capital?
Such a capable and loyal minister is still a member of the clan, so of course he must be put to great use.

Very useful!
By that time, military power will be a matter of course.

The matter of training the new army has naturally been completed.

You must not take the initiative to ask for military power, as that will arouse suspicion.

Others must take the initiative to give it to you.

What does it mean to be a mere member of the Ministry of War now?
No. 1 in martial arts, everyone can see it, there is no doubt.

Some people will question whether Wen is the first choice. Su Yi, Negative Bamei, and Ying Nianba have already planned several countermeasures.

After a long while, the emperor said: "Su Yi, are you serious?"

Su Yi bowed deeply without saying a word.

The emperor said: "Do you know that as long as you say you want it, the position of the Ministry of War Yuanwai Lang will be yours."

Su Yi said: "I only want to be loyal to the emperor and repay the emperor's kindness. I cannot accept this official position."

The emperor continued: "Although there is a famous saying in the ancestral family law that civil and military examinations can be cross-examined, but since this dynasty, no one can do both Chinese and martial arts exams at the same time. Even going forward, there are no examples in the previous dynasties for hundreds of years. You can Do you know?"

Su Yi bowed and said: "I know!"

If it’s not shocking or amazing enough, I won’t do it!
The emperor continued: "This incident is shocking and unprecedented. It will definitely cause an uproar and attract the attention of the world. If you pass one subject, it will be justified. If you fail all subjects, it will make the world laugh at you. Then I will never be able to do it again." It’s not good to activate yours again.”

Su Yi bowed down and said: "If I fail, it will be due to my incompetence. How can I have the face to appear in front of the emperor? From now on, I will be trapped in the imperial mausoleum, studying while guarding the souls of my ancestors!"

For a moment, Xianfeng really couldn't bear it.

He really wanted to directly issue a decree to confer Su Yi as a member of the Ministry of War, regardless of the objections of the officials.

At least at this moment, he was really moved by Su Yi.

Du Han felt that the emperor was wavering again, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since Su Yi has this intention, why not grant him his wish?"

Wencai, the censor of Zuodu, said: "The Holy Ancestor proposed that cross-examination can be carried out, but no one tried it. Su Yi's move can be regarded as proving that our Qing Dynasty has this ancestral method. Regardless of whether Su Yi succeeds or not, it can be regarded as encouraging the world's scholars. Zi Yingjie, dare to try!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

The Sushun party came out one after another, but many officials who had just opposed Su Yi's appointment remained silent.

They couldn't bear to see Su Yi make a fool of himself. Now it seemed that Su Yi knew how to advance and retreat, and was quite loyal.

Those who agreed certainly did not believe that anyone could pass the high school civil and military examinations. Su Yi's move would only make the world a laughing stock.

From then on, there was no chance of success.

But the emperor still couldn't bear it and didn't speak for a long time.Then he looked at Chong En and Ruilin, the two backers of Su Yi in the court.

Chongen and Ruilin were also shocked and at a loss.

The emperor knew that Su Yi had not discussed it with Chongen beforehand.

Suddenly, the emperor became even more fond of Su Yi.

A gentleman has no party, but is loyal to the king.

Su Yi has never contacted Chongen about such important matters, which shows that he is really sincere.

At this time, Xianfeng was really full of filters, and he could look at Su Yi everywhere.

Finally, the emperor said: "Su Yi, let me ask you one last time, do you really not want this military official? Do you really want to make this brave attempt?"

Su Yi said: "Yes!"

The emperor said: "Okay, then I will fulfill your heart in Chicheng."

Su Yi bowed down: "My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

"Although..." Xianfeng paused and did not finish his words.

"I still very much hope to hear news about your high school in the palace!"

Su Yi said: "My lord, you must do your best to live up to your kindness!"

Xianfeng said: "If that's the case, then just retreat!"

Su Yi retreated to the palace gate and left Qianqing Palace.

Xianfeng was still staring at Su Yi's back in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Su Yi left an indelible impression on the emperor's mind.

He made up his mind that as long as Su Yi's ranking was good enough, he would immediately take the opportunity to use it.

At least participating in the imperial examination is a very legitimate reason and the right path for an official career.

...............

In the following government affairs, the emperor's interest was waning.

Because we had to face the chaos of the fall of Wuchang.

This was what gave him a huge headache, as if every quarter of an hour was a torment.

In this way, the court conversation with Su Yi just now, although it did not involve any political issues, was so pleasant and comfortable.

Zeng Guofan was defeated, Wuchang was lost, and the Hunan Navy was almost destroyed.

What's next?
It’s not even just what to do next, what should we do now?
In the past, whenever the governor-general lost his provincial capital, he would basically commit suicide.

There are no exceptions for the governors of Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi and other provinces.

But, can he kill Zeng Guofan now?Of course not, not even to remove him from office.

Because the army is trained by people themselves, and the emperor cannot command it.

Although defeated, the Hunan Army's strength still existed.

In the entire southern war situation, the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps are useless and unreliable.

The only thing we can do is rely on the Hunan Army.

If he wins, he can still suppress him.

If you lose, you even have to comfort yourself.

"The country is in chaos and misses the good general!" This was the deepest and most painful emotion in Xianfeng's heart at this time.

He only had Seng Gelinqin as a handsome man at hand, but he wanted to keep him to defend the capital. Apart from that, he could not find a real general.

Next, the court discussed for a long time and finally came to a decision.

Zeng Guofan was dismissed from the post of governor of Hubei, but he still assumed the powers of acting governor.

Isn't this just scratching the surface?

But he was not so kind to Yang Pei, the governor of Huguang. He just slapped him to the end and removed him from all official positions.

The difference between having soldiers and not having soldiers comes out.

Du Han came out and said: "Your Majesty, Su Yi is taking part in the Civil and Military Examinations, so this Shuntianfu Provincial Examination will definitely attract the attention of the world, and even become a legend for a hundred years. This will require a large number of talents and an unprecedented event. "

Du Han's words make it obvious that Shuntian Mansion is the capital, at the feet of the emperor.

The final results of this Shuntianfu Provincial Examination have come out. If there are no particularly outstanding talents, and there are no articles that can surpass those from other provincial examination areas, then it will be shameful.

It is easy for people to feel that their talents are withering.

Xianfeng said: "What do you think, Aiqing?"

Du Han said: "Zhang Yuzhao is famous all over the world for his articles, and he has the reputation of being the most talented scholar. The Jinke Shuntianfu Rural Examination is unprecedentedly grand, so it is better for the emperor to issue an order for him to take part in the Jinke Rural Examination."

Du Han still had another meaning that he didn't say.

The war in the south will still depend on the Hunan Army. Zeng Guofan has just been dismissed from the post of governor of Hubei. In order to prevent him from being passive and sabotaging his work, he needs to be given a sweet date after a slap to express the emperor's comfort and encouragement.

It was just right for Zhang Yuzhao to resume the imperial examination.You don’t have to pay too much, but it also shows encouragement.

The key point is that the people in Dali Temple were tortured and the punishment was excessive. Why not make up for it?

Of course, no one thought about the meaning of sniping Su Yi, because in everyone's opinion, at least in terms of imperial examination skills, Su Yi and Zhang Yuzhao were worlds apart and not on the same level at all.

Even the emperor thought so.

Zuodu Yushi came out and said: "Your Majesty, if the crime committed by this jade Zhao requires his reputation to be revoked, he will not be qualified to participate in the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination. But if he does not have his reputation to be revoked, then he can also participate in the modern civil service examination. Add glory to Shuntian Mansion!"

The emperor frowned when he heard this!
Chongen came out directly and said: "Your Majesty, Su Yi is a descendant of the clan. There is a marriage that I don't dare to take matters into my own hands. I need to report it to the Emperor."

At this moment, an old eunuch stood at the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has ordered that Su Yi be summoned!"
