Time was pressing, Liu Dadao knew that if he stayed here for a long time, he would definitely be suspicious outside, so he pushed the wonton in front of Xiao Sixi, "Eat! Don't make people outside suspicious when the time comes......"

"Master, you have to figure it out, the matter is prioritized, the acute illness in front of your eyes is the matter of life and death in our Great Qing Kingdom, as for whether the common people have meat to eat every day, whether it is a prosperous age, you shouldn't think about it at this time!"

"The Queen Mother secretly summoned the servants before leaving, and told her that the crisis in the court in front of her was 1510......"

"Your Majesty! Now that the Queen Mother and you are helpless, there is a Xiao Lotian in the East China Sea who is eyeing him, and the four or five hundred thousand Hunan troops left by Zeng Guofan in the south are even more of a big trouble......"

"Prince Gong has trained thirty or forty thousand new troops in Xishan, nominally the army of the imperial court, but a discerning person knows at a glance that this is all the private army of the devil six!"

"Troubled at home and abroad! Troubled at home and abroad! Not only do we have no soldiers, but we don't even have money at the moment......

"The taxes paid by the imperial court are not enough to cover the expenses at all, and the interest on the compensation for foreigners can only be done by mortgaging the customs, and the northwest Zuo Zongtang army marched westward, and the military expenses and telegrams that asked for silver every day were almost full of the Yangxin Palace......"

"If you don't have money, you can't gather troops! If you don't have soldiers, you don't have power! If you don't have power, you have to die!"

Liu Dadao gritted his teeth and said these three words of Cixi with the smell of blood, it seems that this mother is really anxious, she is already a little out of control of the chaotic situation in the court, and at this moment she has put her hopes on her son overseas, the one who has always felt young and ignorant.

Zai Chunwan didn't expect E-Niang to say such a thing, in his impression that his mother was a woman who was extremely strong, no matter how difficult and complicated the government was, she did not show a trace of weakness and retreat.

I really didn't expect that Eniang would hide so much suffering and helplessness in her heart.

"Don't we still have the North Ticket as a source of income? Why are we so poor?"

"Oh, my good long live master! Beipiao is indeed a gold mine, but I can't hold back too many stretches of hand! Do you know how much the devil six alone will take? It's half ......."

"The other six parts will also have to be divided equally, and when it finally falls into your Majesty's hands, there will be a little silver scum left......"

Liu Dadao is really the queen mother's family, and he doesn't pay attention to any ways and means to speak, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Long live Lord, slave, I will say a big disrespectful word, you are the emperor if you have money and soldiers, and you are yellow soup if you have no money and soldiers!"

"Bold!" Da Sixi roared and was about to slap him with a big ear, but Jae Chun raised his hand to stop him.

The young emperor was also angry, but he was not angry at Liu Dadao, but angry at the harsh situation at the moment.

"What are you doing? What Liu Dadao said is not wrong...... I'm no longer the prisoner trapped in the Forbidden City, and only after stepping out of the four directions of heaven did I truly know what the outside world was like......"

"How stupid was I in the past, thinking that others bowed to me and shouted long live, long live, long live, and I really lived long live? Everyone said that the emperor was the Son of Heaven, but didn't there still be rebellions in the Qing Dynasty? Aren't there still foreign countries overseas that are stronger than us?"

"The master once said that power cannot be inherited at all, even if you are your own son and can take the name of righteousness, but if you yourself don't have the ability to grasp the power passed on to you by Lao Tzu, you are also a puppet!"

"The courtier is like this, what I'm able to move, I may not be able to move, and whoever is loyal to me may not be loyal to my son!"

"Iron has to be hard!"

"That's right! That's what the Queen Mother said...... Liu Dadao rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "The Queen Mother asked me to tell Your Majesty...... In the past, the Queen Mother showed her dissatisfaction and rebuke to Your Majesty in front of everyone, but in fact, it was also to paralyze the enemies inside and outside!"

"The court is too complicated, ordinary people can't figure out who are enemies and friends, and even many people are swingers, and they are loyal to you in the morning, and he will bite you immediately if the situation changes in the afternoon......"

"Long live the Lord, don't blame the Queen Mother...... Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager's maiden family wiped a handful of tears: "The Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with you many times, and it's all acting! If others don't say it, the Queen Mother is already very jealous of the devil six and one person! Thirty or forty thousand new army Chen Bing Xishan, what do you let the Queen Mother do?"

"Your Majesty, the new army of the Imperial Forest that you practiced in Fujian, as well as the support of General Hunchun in Heilongjiang and Jilin, the empress dowager of these two moves scolded you for being disobedient and unfilial, and scolded you for losing power and humiliating the country, but what about the actual ......?"

"Huh...... The Queen Mother has long figured it out, long live the Lord, you have the idea of grabbing power and arresting soldiers, whether the method is correct or not, but you are in the right direction, you should do so!"

"It's not a big deal if the little land in the Far East is lost to the Rakshasa Ghost or Xiao Letian, the bitter cold land is a place where prisoners are distributed, as long as it can be exchanged for benefits for us!"

"On the contrary, in exchange for Hunchun's allegiance to us, this is a real dry thing! The land of the two provinces has been firmly controlled by Your Majesty, do you know how happy the Queen Mother is behind her back?"

"Your Majesty, you must be sober, military power and financial power must be grasped in your own hands, not in the hands of the imperial court...... The emperor is the emperor, the court is the court, this is not the same thing!"

If it was the former Zaichun, the little emperor who had never left the palace and had been educated by Confucian scholars, he would never understand the meaning of this sentence.

In Confucian education, the emperor and the imperial court are completely one, the emperor should be a saint and a moral gentleman, and the imperial court rules Kyushu around the emperor's side.

Think about that picture is very beautiful, but unfortunately many times there is a gap between imagination and reality, the emperor represents the supreme imperial power, and the court is the main battlefield of the bureaucratic class, and what he represents is the interests of the Confucian scholars and officials in the world.

There is cooperation between the two powers, but there is also conflict, a very simple example is the Ming Dynasty, the ministers in the court are good at crying poverty, often staring at the emperor's inner treasury to make small articles, from time to time they say that the household has no money, let the emperor pay his own pocket to subsidize the court.

A very classic case is the three major campaigns of Wanli, and many of the bureaucrats in those three battles were opposed, the main reason was that there was no money.

But the court has no money, and Wanli is rich, his teacher Zhang Juzheng has saved money for him, and the group of eunuchs helps the emperor collect taxes throughout the country, so Emperor Wanli is still very rich.

In a fit of rage, the Wanli Emperor opened the inner library and used the royal silver to fight these three battles, which was basically the last military glory of the Ming Dynasty.

After returning to the light, it was the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and the money that the emperor could control became less and less, and he couldn't do big things without money, until he finally forced Chongzhen to open his mouth to borrow money from his ministers.

Of course, the Manchu Qing also knew how to learn from history, Cixi was not a good stubble, of course she understood the Tao here, so she took the risk and tried her best to mix sand into Xiao Letian's envoys, what she was afraid of was that Zaichun was confused by Xiao Letian for a while.
