112 The Emperor's Thoughts (Asking for Votes)
"Then you just sit down!"
The little emperor listened to her words, sat obediently on the side, looked at Da Gege for a long time without speaking, his heart was empty, unspeakable, the first time he tasted the taste of sorrow, but he didn't know that this was called sorrow.
Da Gege ignored him first, only lowered his head and took care of his own embroidery, and when he found that there was no movement for a long time, he couldn't help but be strange, and when he raised his head, he saw that the little emperor's eyes were only worried, and the more he was surprised: "What's wrong?" β
"I heard you're getting married! Isn't it? He didn't answer the question.
Da Gege was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed: "Why do you think of asking such a sentence?" β
She asked, "Who said that?" β
"The eunuchs and palace maids around me said it."
"You listen to their nonsense."
"Didn't the six-fronted concubine come with Zhiduan Thanksgiving? The emperor pointed him out to you, and said that the mansion had been found. β
Da Gege frowned and said, "Don't say it!" I don't like to hear it. β
"Why?"
"No why! I just don't like to hear it. β
Da Gege let him unintentionally break his heart, the more he felt wronged, and he was a little anxious, afraid that if he said nonsense, it would cause trouble in the ears of the queen mother of the two palaces.
Hurriedly stopped him and said, "My little ancestor, can you take care of your idle business!" Who told you these words? When I find out, the Queen Mother must be punished. β
The little emperor said, "I came up with it myself. β
Da Gege, who has always had the best way for the little emperor, was troubled at this time and couldn't deal with it, so he had to scare him, stood up and pretended to be very angry and said: "I want to go to Changchun Palace to play, saying that the emperor doesn't need to study, and he is talking nonsense here and bullying me!" β
This time it was very effective, and the little emperor hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Good sister, don't go!" I'll just say that, let's talk about something else. β
The little emperor remembered something: "You talk to the sixth uncle, and ask Zai to study with me." β
Da Gege said: "This has to be done by Yi's will. β
"Then, then you ask the emperor for a favor."
"Why I want to ask is not my business."
The little emperor had no choice but to beg her bitterly, and at this moment a palace maid said, "Please let the emperor drive!" Changchun Palace has passed the meal. β
Da Gege chuckled and said, "It's up to you what you do this time." β
So the little emperor reluctantly sat down to Changchun Palace, dined with the Empress Dowager Cixi, and at the same time had to explain the day's homework. The Empress Dowager Cixi also often had a lot to ask.
On this day, asking for homework at the dining table, the little emperor first read a few Tang poems taught by Weng Tonghe and was very catchy, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was deeply satisfied. It would be wrong to ask about something else, but she knew in her heart that the key was how the master was teaching.
Every time he asked about homework, the little emperor was flustered first, there was too much homework, and he often didn't know what to do, and if he answered slowly, the Empress Dowager Cixi would sink her face. The more panicked the heart is, the more sluggish the mouth becomes.
An Dehai flattered the Queen Mother on the side, pretending to be unusually loyal, and persuaded the little emperor to remember the Queen Mother's words, play less and work harder, and in these exhortations, many naughty actions of the little emperor were revealed, which made the Queen Mother even more angry.
Therefore, the little emperor hated An Dehai very much, and when he got out of Changchun Palace, he shouted angrily: "When I grow up, I must kill Xiao Anzi!" The eunuchs and palace maids around him were shocked at first, just thinking that he was a child playing around.
But the little eunuchs and palace maids who served the emperor didn't think so. They knew that if this word reached An Dehai's ears and the Empress Dowager Cixi knew, there would be a series of investigations.
There are a wide range of unforeseen disasters, so we sternly warn that you are not allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise you will be beaten to death with a board! It was so hard to suppress that An Dehai had to be hidden.
On this day, military planes were summoned, mainly in military affairs. Yang Yuebin did not handle the rebellion in Shaanxi well, and specially transferred Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who had just cleared the remnants of Hongyang in Guangdong, to replace him.
Zeng Guofan suppressed the army, although it had set the purpose of static braking, stationed troops in the four towns of Linhuai in Anhui, Zhoujiakou in Henan, Xuzhou in Jiangsu, and Jining in Shandong, and built long walls and fences along the two rivers of Huang and Yun, and defended them in sections.
So that the twisting army hit a wall everywhere, and it can't be rolled around like a whirlwind like before, but it is indefinite and difficult to extinguish.
For this reason, the Empress Dowager Cixi was very unhappy, and with some imperial history, she had no merit in the elder of Zeng Guofan, and constantly impeached him, so she proposed to Prince Gong that she might as well change the boss.
Now it's time for Yi Shuai. The imperial court thought so, but Zeng Guofan also had this plan, and asked for a resignation to tell the sick, please open the co-ordination of the university scholar and the governor of Liangjiang, and ask another minister to take over military affairs, and voluntarily "leave the camp to serve as a loose man, not the main dispatch." β
At this time, the Empress Dowager Ci'an spoke first, "The mourning family doesn't understand a little, why didn't Zeng Guofan even want his title?" β
She said in a slightly worried voice: "The mourning family feels that his words this time are different from before, as if he is quite uncomfortable. Sixth Master, don't you say? β
"Queen Mother Shengming!" Prince Gong replied in a laudatory tone, "Zeng Guofan is a little troublesome. β
"It's not like his man! Let's think about it, is there anything wrong with him? If you push the good guys into a hurry, there will be chaos! β
The Empress Dowager Cixi felt apologetic. At the same time, it was also understood that this was a problem that could not be overlooked, and that if it was not handled well, it would at least affect morale, not to mention provoking a mutiny.
"Let's think about it first, can Zeng Guofan still use it?" Empress Dowager Ci'an immediately added: "If he can't do military affairs anymore, he can do something else." Aren't there many strengths of Zeng Guofan? β
Prince Gong admired her views very much, and was quite surprised, and he couldn't imagine that his mother-in-law, who didn't seem to understand foreign affairs very well, would outline and grasp the key to the situation.
Cixi said: "Zeng Guofan can be stable, he has to have someone to help him, he used to be his younger brother, and now he is his protΓ©gΓ©. Since he tried his best to protect Li Hongzhang, he asked Li Hongzhang to take over the defense of the minister. β
"And what about Zeng Guofan?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an quickly said again: "Let him come to the capital!" The mourning family wants to see what kind of person he is? β
"That's a good idea!" The Empress Dowager Cixi happily agreed.
When the governor of Liangjiang returned to his post and Li Hongzhang, the governor of Jiangsu, he was specially appointed as the minister of the Qin mission, and when the special dispatch was delivered to Zhoujiakou, Zeng Guofan was playing Go, and he opened the court mail on the edge of the chess table.
A game of chess after lunch is Zeng Guofan's only hobby, and the more he worries, the more energetic he plays, but the black and white does not make him forget his worries, and when he is groaning, the chess table often becomes a map. (To be continued.) )
