Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 582 Brotherhood
Although Zaifeng has become the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, he is quite self-aware, and the emperor's brother is very strict on weekdays, so he never dares to get complacent, and he is very clear in his heart that a large part of the reason for this is relying on his own royal family With a special status, now that the monarch and his ministers are right, and with Premier Liang Qichao at his side, he must appear humble and polite. Looking at Liang Qichao right now, he dare not overstep.

Liang Qichao replied: "I thought about it on the way to Pyongyang. I recommended one person, Zhen Guogong, Zaize. Zhen Guogong went to Europe to study with Dai Hongci, Duan Fang, Shaoying and others in his early years. After returning home, he advocated the New Deal. Over the years, he has made a lot of contributions to the implementation of the New Deal, especially before the promulgation of the constitutional monarchy, Zhen Guogong worked hard to formulate many detailed rules for the implementation. If it were not for him as the Prime Minister, this matter would definitely not be completed within the year. Therefore I think that Zai Ze is the best candidate for this position."

Guan Xuqing understood right away, and wondered why this Liang Qichao became more and more tactful. The former asked him to form a cabinet to recommend a candidate for the deputy prime minister, so he recommended Zaifeng, and now he recommends Zaize. If this continues, future ministers will Said that the emperor only trusts the people of the royal family, the hearts of others will be cold.Zai Ze is indeed capable. This is not only what Liang Qichao said. Many ministers in the DPRK and China have suggested that he be entrusted with important tasks. However, the post of Governor of North Korea is not trivial.Immediately said to Liang Qichao: "Zai Ze is a literati, and it is okay to offer advice and suggestions, but I am afraid that if he governs the local area, he will not be worthy. What I mean is to choose one of the current ministers. Don't always be a member of the royal family. It is easy to provoke spit. Xingzi, do you understand?"

"What the emperor said is true." Liang Qichao took a peek at Zaifeng, and saw that Zaifeng was still standing there respectfully, with a respectful and natural expression, and secretly said, although Zaifeng is young, he has such a deep city , can become a big weapon in the future. "The minister recommends the old Zhongtang Natong, who is highly respected in the court and China, and he must be qualified to serve as the governor of North Korea."

"Then Tong is Manchurian, right?" Guan Xuqing suddenly said such a sentence without thinking, and Liang Qichao's words seemed to be in a fog.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "There are too many Manchus in the court, so we should appoint more Han people. Besides, Natong is old, how many years can he hold this position for me? Let him be a deputy. , with his arrogance of an old minister in the court, how can he be inferior to others. Let's choose another one."

Liang Qichao hesitated for a while, lost his mind for a while, and glanced at Zaifeng, which meant that you, the deputy prime minister, had to speak at this time.Then Zaifeng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is one candidate for my minister, Huang Xing. This person had the ambition to serve the country when he was young. After the Sino-French War, he decided to serve the country and joined the army. After the war, he studied at the Imperial Army University. He was one of the first batch of students sent by the empire to study in Germany. When Yuan Shikai rebelled, he hosted the "Xinmin Congbao" in Shanghai and echoed with Cai E from the north to the south. They jointly attacked Yuan Shikai and supported the soldiers who suppressed the rebellion. It can be said that he was quite passionate Liver and intestines. I am currently serving as a high-ranking official in Guangdong, and since I took office, the local government has been governed well. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

Guan Xuqing squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, and repeatedly murmured in his mouth: "Huang Xing, Huang Xing..." Huang Xing is indeed a rare talent. He was about to open his mouth to make a decision, but suddenly swallowed back what he wanted to say. , looked at Liang Qichao and asked, "What do Zhuo Ru think of this?"

Liang Qichao said: "I think what Prince Chun said is very reasonable, Huang Xing is worthy of being a hero."

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Okay, since the two prime ministers hold this opinion, let's decide on Huang Xing. However, I have to nominate two more vice-governors. Who do you think is more suitable?"

Zaifeng closed his mouth again and stopped talking. Liang Qichao said: "The minister thought that Tang Changcai, director of the Hunan Counseling Bureau, and Xu Zhijing, a high-ranking official in Shaanxi, could take up this position. Both of them were the backbone of the New Deal back then. It's also very good. I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

"Okay, on this basis, after returning to Beijing, the cabinet will appoint Huang Xing as the governor of North Korea, and Tang Changcai and Xu Zhijing as the deputy governors. There must be no mistakes."

"twitter."

"Set up the Governor's Office in Pyongyang to take charge of North Korea's administrative affairs. There is a Consultative Bureau under the office, which is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Diet and handles North Korea's legislative affairs. Serve as the commander-in-chief of North Korea's garrison. This is my honor."

In the evening, Guan Xuqing held a royal banquet in Jingfu Palace to entertain the two prime ministers who came from afar. Liang Qichao thought about the deep love between the emperor and Zaifeng brothers. They have not seen each other for many days. There must be a lot of personal things to say. It was inconvenient, so soon after the banquet started, I asked the emperor to resign.Guan Xuqing smiled, but did not force him to stay.

During the banquet, Zaifeng always kept his words and deeds decent and measured, even if only two brothers were present, he still maintained the distinction between monarch and minister.

Guan Xuqing and Zaifeng drank a glass of wine and said, "I heard that you, the deputy prime minister, are very sensual. You may as well tell me what you have learned since you became an official."

Zaifeng squeezed out a smile, and said: "My Majesty, under the tutelage of Lord Liang and Lord Xiong, I have gained a lot of experience, but my seniority is still young, not enough to take on important tasks, let alone not What achievements have been made, I need to ask for advice from Lord Liang and Xiong, as well as the ministers of the court and China."

"Well, it's okay. To be an official, you must first have self-knowledge, and then you must have the knowledge of being an official. This ability to make fuss can be innate, but the ability to be an official is not without innate ability. Whether your official is good or bad Colleagues and common people have their own opinions. On the one hand, your background as a deputy prime minister is due to your ability, and on the other hand, it is also because you have the blood of the royal family. You must keep this in mind, and don’t feel that you will fly into the sky all at once. If that's the case, there will be no future for the rest of your life." Guan Xuqing taught Zaifeng earnestly as an elder brother.

"Yes, my younger brother understands that this younger brother will work hard to rule, and win the reputation of the emperor and the royal family."

"Okay, haha, this is how I look like my younger brother. Zaifeng, there is no one around at this moment, why are you separated from me? Come, sit closer and talk." Guan Xuqing beckoned.

Zaifeng nodded and sat down, Guan Xuqing drank another glass of wine with Zaifeng, looked at Zaifeng and said: "Time flies so fast, I remember we were playing and playing together yesterday. You and I have become monarchs and ministers, and you are almost [-] years old, how are Fujin and Fujin side?"

Zaifeng's heart moved, he was used to seeing the majestic demeanor of the emperor's brother on weekdays, at this time the other party's true feelings were revealed, and he had no idea for a while, and he didn't know how to say it, "Thanks to the emperor, Deng Jiashi and Fang Fujin, they are as usual. In a few days, I will enter the palace to greet the empress."

"Zai Xun, are they all okay?" Guan Xuqing was naturally referring to his younger brothers. The late Prince Chun Yihuan had six sons besides Guan Xuqing. Ming, Zao Shang, fifth younger brother Zaifeng, hereditary Prince Chun; sixth younger brother Zaixun; seventh younger brother Zaitao.

"If you go back to the emperor, everything is fine, everything is fine." Although Zaifeng still had the usual appearance of a monarch and minister on the surface, his heart was already overwhelmed.

Guan Xuqing caressed his brother's shoulder and said: "You are not too young, and you have Fujin, you should continue to burn incense as soon as possible."

Zaifeng's heart became hot, and he almost shed tears. He suppressed his feelings, nodded and said in a low voice: "What the emperor said is very true, but it's just a coincidence. The two Fujins, my younger brother, both suffer from palace cold. Multi-pronged treatment is not good, and my younger brother can't do anything." Speaking of this, he sighed lightly.

"It's okay, it's okay, after returning to Beijing, I will order the Imperial Hospital to go to your house to check the pulse. This is a minor illness, and a few medicines will ensure that they will be happy next month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

"I'm going back to Beijing in a few days, but there is still a lot of trouble in North Korea. I plan to keep you and deal with it properly. When the new governor arrives, you can take off this burden. Fifth Brother , I have liked you the most since I was a child, and I am also the most optimistic about you now. You and I are both brothers and monarchs, but we are brothers after all, and the blood flowing in our bodies is not letting go. In my heart, but you must never be separated from me." Guan Xuqing seemed to be genuinely moved, and his eyes were already a little moist.

Zaifeng raised his head and looked at his second brother, who is also the current emperor, his eyes gradually blurred, and his thoughts suddenly seemed to return to 20 years ago.

That year, the two were still young, the emperor had just entered the palace not long ago, but he was still young at heart, and loved to play in his spare time, and his biological father, Prince Jin, often missed his son, so he often brought the young Zaifeng into the palace Playing with the emperor was very boring at the beginning. Guangxu and Ci'an sat on the kang, Ci'an watched Guangxu place dominoes on the kang table, Zaifeng and the little sister stood on the ground in good order, watching them motionless, like It's the same as the shift in the yamen.Later, Guangxu thought of a way to hide his younger brother and younger sister to the Hall of Mental Cultivation without telling others. He asked Zaifeng, "What are you playing at home?"

"Play hide and seek." Zaifeng said respectfully.

"You play hide-and-seek too? That's so fun!" Guangxu was very happy.He and the little eunuchs often play this too, but they are all slaves and it's boring to play.So Guangxu, Zaifeng, and Xiaomei played hide-and-seek in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Playing more and more happily, Zaifeng and the younger sister forgot about restraint.

They simply drew down all the outside curtains, making the room very dark.The little girl laughed and was afraid, Guangxu and Zaifeng threatened her, and they laughed and shouted with joy.Tired of playing hide-and-seek, they climbed onto the kang to catch their breath, and Guangxu asked them to think of a new game.Zaifeng thought for a while, but didn't say anything, just looked at him and smirked.

"What are you thinking?" Guangxu asked.

Zaifeng still smirked.

"Say, talk!" Guangxu urged him anxiously, thinking that he must have come up with a new game, but he said: "What I think is that the emperor must be very different, just like the old beard on the stage, Who knew it wasn't like that"
