Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Fifth Master Yi Cong never thought that today would actually be his lucky day. Even if Duke Qing Palace won a lot of gold, it wouldn't be the end, they would still be officials later on.

The vice minister of the Head Office, was already a high official on the same level as Fu Qing.

understood that the one who had made the decision when he turned around was someone else. No one in the Head Office could avoid the Spirit Demons, and the one who was controlling the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still the empress dowagers.

Power was useless, but reputation was the truth. Besides, everything had to be developed first before it could seep in. As long as it became famous, there would be a chance for it to work. He was afraid that there wouldn't even be a single opening.

Yi Cong immediately set out to meet up with Weng Tonghe and the others, using his dual identity as the Head Officer and Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he led the group to the city from Da Gu Kou on a ship.

The Fifth Master didn't think much of the twists and turns inside, and directly cupped his hands and said, "Aiyo …" Since I've changed my job, shouldn't you at least give me a new set of floral plumes? "

"My pearl is old enough. I will reward you with a few more Semen Orientale and hang a few more coral … Forget it, sister-in-law, why don't you send me to the royal court to pick a few strings? "

Yi Cong's words were reasonable, no matter what identityhe had, she had to dress up, and logically speaking, he would have to spend money to purchase the court uniform, the court pearl and the other items, but he was busy with them, and could not make them in time.

Furthermore, Semen Orientale s were controlled by regulations throughout the Qing Dynasty, so when it reached a certain level, Semen Orientale s were not allowed to trade. When Yi Cong got promoted, the Semen Orientale would be rewarded by the imperial government.

With so many things on their minds today, the two empress dowager wouldn't make things difficult for her brother-in-law just for a few things. Ci Xi generously said, "Go … "Uncle will choose what he likes and take what he wants. As long as he doesn't waste time …"

"Come on! "Sister-in-law, you two continue chatting, I'll go to the royal treasury right now …"

With one less person missing in the room, Ceng Guofan drank a mouthful of tea and suppressed the chaos in his heart, struggling to continue the discussion.

"The second thing that this humble subject has mentioned is the great marriage of His Majesty … May I ask the empress dowager and prince if His Majesty should get married? Whose daughter was he looking for? When will we get married? "

The moment he said that, everyone's expression changed. In the room, only Ceng Guofan was a Chinese person, the rest were all Manchu, and the emperor was the emperor of the Xiluo's family.

empress dowagers did not say anything, so Yi Xuan opened his mouth first. "Haha … Why did the marshal say that? Let's first discuss the matter of welcome, how did it end up with His Majesty's wedding? "

"Today, I was already sensitive enough to feel that something was wrong with Ceng Guofan, so I wouldn't stand on ceremony …" This matter doesn't seem to be your responsibility, right? "

Ceng Guofan was not annoyed, he laughed and said, "According to the rules, as a Chinese Officer, I cannot interfere, but since the situation is urgent, even if I have violated the rules, I have to say …"

"At worst, I won't even care if you're my official …" "Hahaha!"

"You!" Yi Yeyu was so angry that he couldn't reply.

At this time, Ci Xi's eyes lit up. She was a smart person and had already guessed what Ceng Guofan was trying to say.

"Ceng Shuai, you've troubled too much …" As the Mother, of course, I wish the sooner the better. I, on the other hand, chose one ahead of time, and the head of the Ministry of Justice, Feng Xiu, has a daughter, Fuche.

Before he finished speaking, Ci An also understood and interrupted, "I also have a candidate. Chong Qi's daughter, A Luteshi is even more virtuous and is a good candidate to be a queen …"

"Hahaha …" "No matter who this humble subject chooses, this humble subject does not care. As long as Your Majesty can delay the marriage as soon as possible, I will be satisfied …" Ceng Guofan smiled.

Yi Xuan was surprised, "How can you be so fast? The His Majesty's wedding was a huge matter! All sorts of imperial goods had to be prepared in advance, so how much porcelain did Jingdezhen burn? Jiangnan Weaving has no foundation at all... We even have to prepare a new dragon robe in advance … "

"Without four or five years of preparation, how are we going to get married? "This is too far off …"

Yi Xuan did not make up nonsense. The emperor's wedding was different from ordinary people's wedding, it was impossible to prepare without spending more than four or five years worth of money. Porcelain, silver, jade, silk, lacquer, wood … Even the refurbishment of tables, chairs, and halls required money and time.

This money could be borrowed or extorted, but what about time? Where can I find the time?

Yi Xiao also smiled. "Seventh brother, don't forget about it …" The marshal is in a hurry to have His Majesty take charge of the matter! The so-called great marriage is actually not important! "

"Your Highness has seen through me, this humble subject means that!" Ceng Guofan did not hesitate and directly went up.

Ceng Guofan might seem like he was forced to get married, but in reality, he was doing it for the sake of Tongzhi!

This was because in the ancient times, a man's maturity would have to be calculated from when he was married. This also meant that regardless of whether Tongzhi was a fifteen year old or a sixteen year old or eighteen year old, he had to marry first.

You need to have an official empress before you can admit that you, Zai Chun, are an adult. Only then will you have the right to take the throne!

The wedding ceremony was followed by the political ceremony. This was reasonable and legal!

In the true history, the great marriage of the Tongzhi Emperor did not go smoothly. At that time, it was the era where Ci Xi and Ci An were at odds with each other, and Ci Xi had the upper hand.

Ci Xi had already taken over most of the rights in the court, to the point that even General Gui Six was forced by her to stay home!

At that time, Ci Xi had become an opponent of his son's wedding. In order to protect his own rights, he had constantly postponed his son's wedding and had also heavily obstructed the selection of the empress.

However, history had been destroyed by Xiao Letian. The political situation of the Beijing had undergone a huge change, and the internal war of the Jingshan had greatly increased Ci An's power.

Ci Xi, on the other hand, had become the one with the weakest authority. At this time, she was more anxious than anyone else for his son to take charge personally.

Ci Xi saw that Ceng Guofan's expression was already extremely flattering. If kneeling down was useful at this moment, she would definitely kowtow to Great Marshal Zeng without saying anything.

Loyal officials, this was what a loyal official was, a loyal official who truly thought for the sake of the imperial court!

Ceng Guofan was not polite at all. "Empress Dowager, Prince …" This subject has already said that I won't be able to live much longer … This official's last wish is to live to see the wedding and the ceremony of His Majesty's personal government! "

"Cough, cough, cough …" Could it be that this subject's dying wish can't be fulfilled? "

"This world has been waiting for His Majesty's direct rule for too long … "We can't continue this mess …"

At this point, if they were to object, then it would be a public rebellion. General Xie Zi Liu forced a smile, "Actually, this king also wishes for the His Majesty to take the reins of state earlier!"

"There's nothing to say. When His Majesty comes back, he'll be in charge of this …"

"Hehe …" This humble subject wants time! Just when will you give this humble subject the correct time! "

"Next year, June or September, or October …" This subject needs time! "

"You!" Everyone stood up, and Ceng Guofan's overbearing aura today made him feel uneasy.
