205 Emperor Guangxu
On the north side of the lake, it was originally empty, and you could only watch the mountains from afar; With this long corridor, it makes people feel that the red pavilion of Cuilan is looming between the green trees, adding countless feelings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Immediately, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded in agreement.
The construction of Qingyi Garden began very quickly. On the one hand, Tateyama is in charge, selecting auspicious days and quietly starting to clean up the muck; One side was drawn by Lei Tingchang and presented one after another.
Although the matter was done very carefully, the construction of Qingyi Garden was carried out, and no matter how clever the name was, it could not hide this fact.
"Today I will use naval funds to repair Qingyi, and I don't know what to spend tomorrow for repairing the Old Summer Palace!" When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard the news, she was also a little restless, and hurriedly called Li Lianying.
"Didn't the mourning family tell you to be cautious and not to leak the news, why are you making the city full of storms now?"
"The master is angry." Li Lianying knelt on the ground and replied carefully, "The slave has been doubly careful, but it is really ,...... if you want to avoid leaking the slightest rumor about such a big project It's really hard. ”
"What? Are you still unreasonable? Things get to this point, what do you say? ”
What to do? At this point, I can't hide it, so I can only make it public.
I only heard Li Lianying whisper: "According to the meaning of the slave, this matter can't be covered up, so it's better to ...... It's better to let the emperor issue an edict and make things public, so maybe it will be better. ”
"Go, call the emperor to the mourning family!" The Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a long time, and then said ruthlessly.
Since Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne, although he is nominally the emperor, he has not been a real emperor for a day. The Huanghuang edict clearly states that once the emperor has completed his studies, the Empress Dowager Cixi should withdraw the curtain and return to power.
In this regard, how could the Empress Dowager Cixi not take precautions? After thinking about it, she found a way for herself, that is, to train Guangxu into a minion, a slave who only obeys her orders!
To this end, she put a lot of effort and set up a lot of traps. Cixi had three meals a day, and Guangxu had to wait for her to sit down before returning to the palace to eat, and she ate cold dishes and rice.
When Cixi went out to inspect the East and West Tombs every year, Guangxu had to kneel and kneel to send. Every morning and evening, Guangxu had to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to say goodbye, Cixi didn't say "get up", Guangxu had to kneel all the time.
Now, he is older and an adult, but because of the majesty of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he only dares to be angry and dare not speak. I wonder if he'll be ...... this time
"Dear father, my son-in-law has given you a greeting!"
It turned out that since the Empress Dowager Cixi launched the "Xinyou Coup" in the eleventh year of Xianfeng, she climbed to the throne of ruling the country. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu years, he has always been in the position of the noble and prominent emperor.
Such a noble status can only be enjoyed by the emperor's father, so the Empress Dowager Cixi tried her best to ask Emperor Guangxu to call her "father" by the name of a man.
Emperor Guangxu was born to Prince Fujin, and Prince Fujin Yehenala was the sister of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so the Empress Dowager Cixi was cheeky and asked Emperor Guangxu to call her "father".
The reason why the word "pro" was added was to exclude the suspicion of non-biological births.
"The mourning family has been in a bad mood recently, living in the palace, messy, and unable to take care of it. The environment of Qingyi Garden is good, and the mourning family wants to repair it to avoid boredom. I don't know what you mean? The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Emperor Guangxu and opened her mouth unabashedly.
The finances are scarce, the state affairs are difficult, how can there be money to repair the garden? I think so, but how dare Emperor Guangxu say it directly?
I only heard him say euphemistically: "Since my father wants to take care of Lin Quan, how dare my son have other meanings?" But...... Now that the funds are in short supply, there are some difficulties, can you slow down for a while? ”
"You don't have to worry about it. The mourning family knows that the navy yamen has a pen of money and wants to borrow it for a while, what do you think? The Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly with a gloomy face.
When Guangxu heard this, he was unhappy in his heart. If you can't tell, he doesn't have the guts.
I had to say, "Dear Dad, this is ...... Let Erchen go back and think about it, okay? ”
"Okay, go back and think about it! But get back to me quickly. ”
Back in the upper study, Emperor Guangxu sat sullenly on the dragon chair and did not say a word.
Seeing this, Weng Tonghe hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for their courage, I don't know what makes the emperor so unhappy?" ”
"State affairs are like this, but my father wants to borrow naval funds to rebuild Qingyi Garden, what do you think I should do?" Emperor Guangxu said with a sad face.
"This ......", Weng Tonghe hesitated for a moment and said: "The minister thinks that if the queen mother wants to repair the garden, the emperor not only can't brush the queen mother's decree, but also borrow naval funds, and the emperor can't set up words to obstruct it." ”
"You, how can you say such a thing?" Emperor Guangxu didn't expect his master to say such a thing, and said angrily.
"The emperor is angry, and the minister said this completely for the emperor's sake. According to the minister's intentions, the emperor promised Fang Hao, this is something that will be done sooner or later, and blocking it now will only make the queen mother unhappy. Besides."
Speaking of this, Weng Tonghe lowered his voice: "The Queen Mother has repaired the garden, so she can live in the garden often, so as not to interfere in the government affairs." What do you say, Your Majesty? ”
That's a great idea! When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he couldn't take care of Weng Tonghe, so he rushed to Chuxiu Palace again.
"Have you thought about it?" Seeing that Emperor Guangxu came back so soon, the Empress Dowager Cixi was really a little puzzled.
"My father wants to repair the garden, but in fact, my son has long had this intention. However, in recent years, the state has had many troubles, and the treasury has not been able to make ends meet, so it has not been done for a long time. Since his father wants to borrow naval funds, how dare his sons have objections. Tomorrow, the ministers will tell the navy yamen to follow the allocation, and send the ministers to inspect and start construction. ”
How can you hide this little trick from me? The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered twice and said, "Why did you change your mind so quickly, did someone tell you anything?" ”
"No, not really! My father was too worried. ”
"It's good if you don't have it." The Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly. Then the mother and son talked for a while, and Emperor Guangxu withdrew.
The next day, Emperor Guangxu issued an edict:
"I offer an edict, Wanshou Mountain Dabaoen Yanshou Temple, for Emperor Gaozongchun to serve Empress Xiao Shengxian, three times to congratulate the place. Respect the previous rules, allow the auspicious negotiation, the old name of Qingyi Garden, I would like to change the name to the Summer Palace. Everything in the temple. It should be repaired again in order to be merciful. He sent the former minister of the Imperial Palace, Yi Xuan, to supervise the construction of the garden. Chin this. ”
After giving an edict, the public opinion is slightly flat. Who wants to be in a hurry to break someone, who do you say? Li Lianying!
After he was busy, he thought that it was time for him to make a big profit, but who wanted to send Yixuan to supervise the project. How can he do such a stupid thing when he contributes his own efforts, but makes a wedding dress for others?
The more I think about it, the more unhappy I become. (To be continued.) )
