Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 13 Punishment
"The way of university lies in understanding, being close to the people, and ending in perfection." Guan Xuqing followed Weng Tongsu to study in university.

"Your Majesty, do you know what this means?" Weng Tongsu asked with narrowed eyes.

Guan Xuqing shook his head.

"The meaning of this passage is to say that the principle of university is to promote people's virtues, to care for the interests of the people, and to enable people to reach the realm of perfection." Weng Tongsu explained.

Guan Xuqing was very disgusted with learning these clumsy and useless things, it's a pity that people in this era learn this.There is no way, it is worth biting the bullet and following along.

"Master Weng, I want to relieve myself. Go out, and come back immediately." Guan Xuqing said.

"Oh, the emperor has to study hard so that he can govern the country well in the future." Weng Tongsu said dissatisfied.

Can you govern the country well by reading this book?How did the Qing Dynasty die?It's ridiculous, Guan Xuqing said with a dark smile.But on the surface, he reached out very respectfully, "Understood."

As soon as he walked out of the upper study, he ran into Li Zhen who was blocking the drive yesterday.

"Your majesty is here." Li Zhen knelt down and said.

"Get up, why are you here?" Guan Xuqing wondered, at this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be busy with the funeral for the Empress Dowager.

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Li Zhen stood up and continued, "Go back to your majesty, this morning I went to the Master of Ceremonies to prepare for the funeral of the Empress Dowager East. The chief manager Li Lianying and the heads of the various departments came to find me and gave me a piece of 5 yuan. Two silver notes."

"Oh? They're so bold? How dare they play tricks at the Empress Dowager's funeral?" Guan Xuqing was surprised.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty," Li Zhen said as he took out a list of expenses, "This is recorded by Manager Li and his ministers. The buried guards, retinues, honor guards, eminent monks, lamas, etc. spent 10 taels. The actual expenditure was only 8 taels." Two, this alone has embezzled as much as 5 taels of silver. The rest is even more incalculable. The minister has recorded it in secret according to the emperor's order, and the personnel who handed over the expenditure have also been registered. The minister received [-] taels of silver, exactly Hand it over to the emperor, please accept it." Li Zhen handed over a bank note with both hands.

Guan Xuqing took it over and saw that it was indeed a long banknote.There were 5 taels on it, and this was the first time Guan Xuqing had seen a bank note from the Qing Dynasty.It says Dehong Bank, which is a private bank in the capital.With branches all over the country, it was the largest bank in the Qing Dynasty at that time.

"Okay, you've done a good job. Go back and be your job well. In the future, if anyone offers bribes, they will all be accepted, but they will all be registered and handed over in full." Guan Xuqing said.

"Cha, I'm leaving." Li Zhen knelt on the ground again.

Guan Xuqing was in a good mood when he got the money.Suddenly thinking of the one who promised Dong Liang to give him money today, he immediately ran to the back garden.Come to think of it, he should have been waiting for him there.

Just running halfway, I met Cixi and Li Lianying walking slowly.Guan Xuqing was in no hurry to hide, so he hurriedly hid the bank notes.

"Sir, pay respects to my father." Guan Xuqing fell on the ground.

"Why are you here at this time? Didn't you go to study?" Cixi asked sternly.

Guan Xuqing hastily lied and said: "I saw a colorful butterfly flying over, so I chased it." It was better to pretend to be naughty and not study than to let Cixi know that he secretly made friends with foreign ministers and organized an army.

"Hmph, the emperor is so playful. He doesn't study or practice martial arts. How can he govern the world and the country? You are punished to stand here until dark, and think about where you are wrong?" Cixi always felt a little strange about Guan Xuqing, but Can't tell what's wrong.It is also good to punish him to let him have a long memory.

"Yes" Guan Xuqing stood up and saw Li Lianying gloating.I wish I could kill these two people immediately.It's a pity that the time has not come, so I have to endure it.

Seeing Cixi's group of people walking away slowly, Guan Xuqing simply sat down on the next step.Looking at the sky, he was thinking about how to deal with Cixi.

"Your majesty, why are you here? Master Weng is looking for you?" Cuixi ran over.

"My dear father punished me to stay here until dark." Guan Xuqing raised his head to the sky, as if saying to himself.

"What mistake did the emperor make? The queen mother wants to punish the emperor." Cuixi asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's because I don't like seeing me, God knows." Guan Xuqing turned his head and smiled at his nanny.

"Then I'll report to Master Shengweng." Cuixi said anxiously.

"Well, let's go." Guan Xuqing replied.

Suddenly dark clouds gathered and it began to rain.Guan Xuqing hurriedly hid in a pavilion. At this moment, Li Lianying came over with two eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to stand until dark, why are you sitting here?" Li Lianying asked with a fake smile.

"Didn't you see it was raining? I came in to hide from the rain." Guan Xuqing replied as a matter of course.

"Oh, my majesty. You have to listen to Lafayette's words. That's a decree." Li Lianying panicked.

"Fart, do you want me to be exposed to the rain?" Guan Xuqing got really angry and yelled at Li Lianying.

"Come here, Lafayette ordered the emperor to stand until dark and reflect on his mistakes. Take the emperor out." Li Lianying ignored Guan Xuqing.

"Zha," the two eunuchs replied.

"Do you want to rebel? Ah!" Although Guan Xuqing was physically strong in his previous life, how can he be stronger than two eunuchs at the age of four now?

He was carried into the heavy rain by two eunuchs one after the other, and supported him to stand in the rain.Don't let him move.

"Let me go, you guys, you want to rebel." Guan Xuqing shouted desperately.

"If the emperor is angry, don't hold it in your heart. It will be better if you sing it. Your Majesty, let's sing." A eunuch shouted.

"That's right, the emperor is quite angry, we have defeated the emperor." Another eunuch winked, and the two lifted Guan Xuqing upside down and turned around.

Guan Xuqing only felt his eyes go dark, and passed out.
