late Qing Dynasty arrest

Prince Gong Yixin sighed slightly, with a gloomy expression, and looked out the window, so that Yixin could not see him remembering Ama's past with tears in his eyes, and said in a whisper: "Father also regrets the talent of Gong Zizhen, if he doesn't die, Just like Zuo Zongtang, it is human destiny to guard one side for the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty, some things are not as they are seen by future generations. There is no wrong or right, but if the timing is missed, there is no medicine for regret."

When Zai Chun saw Yixin facing him sideways, preventing him from seeing his face, he knew that the uncle was emotional, and kept silent, like a child who had done something wrong. He comes to evaluate.Not daring to make a sound, he said for a long time: "Prince Gong, what I said is wrong, don't be sad, I apologize to you." After speaking, Zai Chun bowed to Yi Xin to apologize, showing that he would correct his mistakes when he knew it, so as to save money. When mother found out, she punished him for "the crime of unfilial piety".

Prince Gong Yixin focused, turned around, regained his original expression, and said: "Your Majesty, you can't worry about everything. Castles in the air look beautiful but are in an illusory environment. Li Shaobao doesn't know how to fight, and he doesn't know how to fight. One set, even if the leader is Han Xin, he can’t beat the foreign gun team. One out of ten still loses. This is a painful lesson. First hide your strength and keep a low profile. Fighting is the same as fighting. Keep your footing steady Only then can you stick out your fist. Xiang Yu is unacceptable, turning back the wheel of history, and wanting to divide the country that Qin Shihuang finally unified, what kind of enfeoffment of princes, turning back the wheel of history, this is the real reason for Xiang Yu's failure. Napoleon is also Tragic characters, who can’t recognize their own shortcomings, use their own shortcomings to attack others’ strengths, and finally die in a foreign land. The emperor must not follow their example, and finally end up ruined, hurt the vitality of our Qing Dynasty, and finally become eternal sinners .do you understand?"

Emperor Tongzhi Zai Chun was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it. He bowed again and said: "Prince Gong's admonition is reasonable, and I listen to every sentence from the bottom of my heart. Closed the door and closed the country, defeating the unrecovered vitality of the Qing Dynasty. I made a side question, just want to see how many of the 280 new scholars have real materials? I can entrust them with important tasks in the future, and I will never ask Xiang Yu or Napoleon The meaning of learning, please rest assured, Prince Gong, in my mind, only the holy grandfather is a role model worthy of my emulation."

"Hmm!" Prince Gong Yixin was quite satisfied with what he heard, and he refrained from saying that his new protégé, Li Guolou, had passed the examination and was a promising talent among the 280 new subjects.Now I don't know what "Xing'er" (Empress Dowager Cixi) thinks of Li Guolou, and I can't make a final decision until I see "Xing'er" tomorrow.

"The emperor said it very well. This king also believes in you. You can take on this burden. After the queen returns home to visit her relatives, you will be in charge of the emperor. This king's burden can also be taken off, so that those who are able can live in it; ;;;;"

One month after Emperor Zaichun married Empress Arut, Empress Arut had to go back to her natal home once according to royal rules.This is the ancestral rule of the Manchus, and the same is true for the folks.Next, Tongzhi Emperor Yixin is going to be in charge soon, and he still wants to go out of the palace for a leisurely stroll, cuddling with the red and the green to find a happy face.

Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun was terrified when he heard this, his youthful white face turned pale, Prince Gong Yixin was about to resign the title of Prime Minister and Minister, and quit, how could this happen?Stepping forward, she grabbed Prince Gong Yixin's sleeve, shed tears, and almost wanted to kneel down, crying, "Uncle Emperor, you can't resign any longer. If you resign your nephew again, how can you show your face to others? No one Those capable ministers who can take over from you are all Han Chinese, and only you can subdue them. What kind of materials are the other emperor uncles? With money, they can turn black into white, pointing deer into horses, and they can do it, both of you Erniang knew in her heart that she had told her nephew a long time ago that my nephew would not make his own decisions, put aside the national policy formulated by the emperor's uncle, and must learn to keep a low profile and achieve the established national policy of keeping things safe first."

What Prince Gong Yixin said was half true and half false. He also wanted to retire from the court and live a life of idleness. He would often say this kind of thing when he was busy, telling his subordinates about his desire for leisure and leisure.But how can a person who has held power really retreat?It's just to test Chun's reaction.If she really loses power, then Yi Xin will only be lost, like she has lost her soul, and she will definitely not feel at ease.

Prince Gong Yixin frowned and said: "Your Majesty, don't cry, I'm not dead yet. I know you have lofty aspirations, and will help you along the way, and won't hand in your resignation right away. But people always grow old. , you are still young, you have to make plans for the future, make good use of young people, or be a steady and enterprising person. This king will check it out for you. People like this king's son Zaicheng are Zhao Kuo. You can only talk about war on paper, you can only support him, and you can't let him touch the authority. Do you understand?"

Tongzhi Emperor Zai Chun was so bored that he seemed to have eaten a live fly, and "Zhao Kuo" Zai Cheng was waiting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.He kept saying good things and flattering Yi Xin so that Yi Xin would not be angry anymore.If Prince Gong Yixin let go of the pick, the consequences would be so serious, he would not even be able to sit still, how could he not understand this truth.

The great eunuch Liu Deyin outside the door got a ten tael silver note from Wen Xiang, a senior scholar, and stopped making Wen Xiang wait outside for a long time. He walked into the upper study room with a smile, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The slave tells the master, the university Lord Shiwen has arrived and is waiting outside the door for the emperor to summon him."

Emperor Tongzhi felt dizzy when he heard that, what time is it, and Prince Gong Yixin hasn't left yet.Here comes another preacher, it seems that he won't be able to leave the palace gate at noon, so today is a waste of time.The rules are to be followed. Emperor Tongzhi smiled and said: "Ah, the teacher is here, no need to sign up, please come in quickly. Prince Gong, just eat something at noon. I know you like pigeon soup. Liu Deyin, hurry up and prepare lunch , you two will have lunch in the upper study first. I will go and make it easier for you."

"Zha! This slave will do it now." Liu Deyin bowed and retreated into the study.

Emperor Tongzhi only had a face-to-face meeting with Wen Xiang, and then he left the study room. He saw the pile of memorials brought by Prince Gong Yixin and started to fight. Now, the memorials to him are flying over like snowflakes, so that he, like the first emperor, must do everything by himself and learn to handle various government affairs.In the afternoon, there was no escape, so Zai Chun walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation sullenly, and wanted to let "Fa Xiao" Zai Cheng go back first, so today's leisure activities had to be cancelled, and an appointment will be made another day.

Li Guolou came to Beijing in the early morning. At this time, the gate was the main gate among the eight gates of the Forbidden City, and there were many folk houses located on both sides of Chang'an Street.The team of boasting officials parading the streets starts from here.The gongs and drums team and the guard of honor lined up one by one, waiting for the auspicious time.

The main entrance is the first, commonly known as Wufeng Tower.The east, west and north sides are connected by a 12-meter-high city platform, surrounding a square square.There is a group of buildings.There is a heavy building in the middle, which is a nine-room hall with double eaves and hip roofs. On the left and right sides of the city wall, there are four pavilions with eaves and ridges, connected by bright corridors, and there are thirteen halls on each wing. The house stretches out to the south, and there are tall corner pavilions in each corner, supporting the main hall.The gate tower of this shape is called Que Gate, which is the most advanced form of gates in ancient China.This group of buildings on the city is majestic and majestic, and it is the highest peak in the Forbidden City palace group.

*** is the place where the emperor issued an edict and ordered the expedition.Whenever the emperor's imperial decree is read out and the almanac is issued, all civil and military officials must gather in the square in front of the palace to listen to the decree. The main entrance in the palace is usually only accessible by the emperor, the empress enters once during the emperor's wedding, and the top three in the imperial examination, the top two, and the best three can exit through this gate once.Ministers of civil and military affairs enter and exit the east door, and clan princes enter and exit the west door.

The number one scholar Lu Runxiang, the second place Tan Zongjun, and Tanhua Li Guolou all dressed up like grooms.The three lined up in sequence, pointing at each other, laughing and joking with each other.

"Tanhualang, let us borrow your light to be a bridegroom." Tan Zongjun was smeared with a little rouge on his face, looking radiant, a little embarrassed, and took the lead in painting Li Guolou.

"With the auspicious words of the No. [-] man, we will spread our wings and fly together to create a better future together." Li Guolou bowed his hands to No. [-] Scholar Lu Runxiang and No. [-] Tan Zongjun.

The number one scholar in the middle row, Lu Runxiang, wanted to pretend to be serious, but he couldn't close his big mouth. He touched the two beards on his upper lip, covering the big cracked mouth, and said with a smile: "I have no other wishes. , like a teacher in the future, do learning and give lectures, cultivate more talents, and it will be enough to have peaches and plums all over the world."

In ancient times, the highest honor for civil servants was the number one scholar in high school. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the Manchu and Han nationality, the number one scholar was no longer vying for the son-in-law of the royal family, but his status was respected.But there is also a disadvantage. If you are a local official for a few years, you will be transferred to the capital to give lectures in the Imperial Academy, compile history books, or be a minister in the Six Departments.Therefore, the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua in Yijia have a good reputation, and no one will fall because of corruption and bribery.

Tan Zongjun laughed loudly and said, "I'm not so lofty, and it's enough to be a salt Taoist. In the future, I will travel around the world and eat delicious food all over the world."

Li Guolou smiled casually, and did not express his ideals. Although he was a high school student, he did not have much real power, and he was a civil servant. He had to study and teach in the Imperial Academy. In the future, he would not do much in the imperial court. To accept disciples, he took in a basketful of Manchu and Han disciples, good and bad, by pinching their noses.Practicing brush calligraphy in the Hanlin Academy every day, self-cultivation, and writing books.There are too many ideals to be realized in my heart, and I hope that Prince Gong Yixin can use his ideas, so that he can give full play to his strengths.

Tan Zongjun is acquainted with each other. After a meal of wine, he is a good friend. He dares to talk nonsense to anyone.Seeing Li Guolou smiling without saying a word, he couldn't help but tease him: "Brother Playboy, besides marrying three peach blossoms, what lofty ideals do you have?"

Li Guolou smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I am a person with official status. I was originally a ninth-rank official. There is no shortage of money, status, and good luck. Clean up the face of poverty and backwardness. My elder brother and I founded a joint-stock bank, and we want to invest the money we earn in the construction of the Beiyang Navy. Don’t laugh, don’t think that our Li family is trying to gain fame and sell dog meat. Who would I hate myself for having too much money, but my brother and I want to do this, gather the hearts of the people of the whole country, and truly make the country rich and strong."

"Okay, Mr. Li, we support you." Lu Runxiang and Tan Zongjun said they supported Li Guolou, but they had different thoughts in their hearts, and they had different understandings of Li Guolou's words.

Lu Runxiang is an ambitious person, and he also wants to do his best, hoping to make achievements in the court, to be praised by scholars all over the world, to be appreciated and reused by the emperor, and to make great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

And Tan Zongjun liked to travel around the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and tasted delicious food all over the world.Although he is talented and intelligent, he has long been used to idleness. It is fine to let him sing the wind and recite the moon, and let him go to the local government to do practical things for the officials. He is willing to teach others and stay in the Imperial Academy to work step by step.He is a wit, but he doesn't like being tied down by government affairs.How could he believe Li Guolou's words?With delicious food and beautiful women always around, no matter how ambitious you are, it will be slowly melted away and become empty words. The words of the children of Guijie are all this kind of virtue, just a boastful son-in-law.In the future, he will often stay in the capital, swim and play together, and eat all the snacks and big meals in the capital. He believes that Li Guolou will swim with him in these things.

The gongs and drums sounded, and the guard of honor set off first. Officials from the Ministry of Officials invited Lu Runxiang, Tan Zongjun, and Li Guolou to mount their horses. A grand parade of boasting officials began. Even incense tables were set up on both sides of the road, and there were still people on the road Fireworks and firecrackers are set off to celebrate the Qing Dynasty and a new national idol.Wen Quxing looks just like the three of them, rich, upright, majestic, and majestic.
