"No need to hand over signs!" Prince Alcohol shook his head, "The five of us just go to the Xinuan Pavilion." ”

The so-called "five people" refer to the five ministers in front of the emperor, and they can be regarded as the emperor's closest attendants, who can be seen at any time. The king thought that this was good, so he led the way into the Zunyi Gate again, took him to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, and ordered the chief eunuch to enter the palace to make a report.

Soon after the chief eunuch entered the palace, he saw the son of Boyan Nemo, the son-in-law of Prince Alcohol, and Belle Narsu, who was walking in front of the emperor, lifted the curtain and stood on the side, and loudly declared: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The emperor flashed out, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and the five ministers knelt down on the bluestone slab in the courtyard. The emperor did not wait for them to finish saluting, and said: "Narsu, you give this Zhu edict to Prince Xuan and transfer it to the military plane." ”

Narsu took Zhu's edict, walked down and handed it over to King Xuan, and read that it read: "Chonglun, Mingshan, and Chunyou, the ministers of the Interior Affairs Department who have been reformed, have all been dismissed and retained in their posts with grace. Chin this! ”

"The minister obeyed the order and transferred it to the military aircraft." Prince Gong said: "Prince Gong also has misconduct in his speech on weekdays. Please ask the emperor to remember that he has been on an errand for many years, and he will be exempted from discussion, and the ministers will feel the same grace of heaven. ”

The Emperor's face sank, "Are you going to disobey?" ”

"Don't dare!" The king replied, "The minister is for the sake of the overall situation. ”

This moment was the enlightenment for the words that King Alcohol had thought of, and he immediately said: "What the Prince of Ton has played is very good. At present, the Japanese envoy Okubo Ritsu has entered Beijing from Tianjin, and he will be there within a few days.

The plan of peace and war depends on this negotiation. Wen Xiang is frail and sickly, I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with it, and he will have to rely on Prince Gong's full strength. If the prince is removed and demoted to the rank of the eight-point auxiliary prince, it is like an idle clan, and the Japanese envoys will not be able to hold a discussion with the rank of the opponent.

Japan's intentions are treacherous, picky everywhere, and there are many branches, Prince Gong, Wen Xiang and Li Hongzhang are cautious in dealing with them, and they are not careful, how can they give people a gap? Fu Qi is to focus on the overall situation and take back the fate. ”

Listening to this performance, the emperor felt like waking up from a dream, thinking about it well, but he was even more unwilling, all kinds of entanglements, really moving the king?

was muttering like this, Boyan Nemo said: "This year, the Empress Dowager Cixi has a long birthday, and the whole world celebrates. Only Prince Gong was severely reprimanded, and I am afraid that it was not the Empress Dowager Cixi's kindness and kindness, and the minister's heart. ”

This is where Jing Shou spoke, he was not blind to what he said, he knew that the emperor's meaning had been moved, so he might as well wait and see what he said, and then reason.

The emperor changed his mind and said in that condescending tone: "All right! Get it back! ”

"Wow!" The king replied loudly, hurried forward, and returned the Zhu Yu.

"That's it! I got what you wanted! You also have to think for me, 'Thanksgiving kindness', isn't it just empty talk now? The Emperor said smugly.

"Thanksgiving and Kindness" is the words of the edict on the rebuilding of the Old Summer Palace issued by the Institute on September 28 of last year, which is a bargain, and it is good to be prepared early.

Prince Gong was anxious to restrain this matter because it was too big, so he replied very simply: "Sanhai is close at hand, and the house is almost intact. ”

"Let's see!" The emperor sneered, "It's up to you anyway!" After saying that, he waved his hand and twisted his face.

Prince Alcohol wanted to say something, but Shen Guifen behind him pulled him and signaled him not to speak. So the ten ministers, a master, returned to the military aircraft.

This time, it was Shen Guifen who moved the "pivot pen", concentrating, not looking at the moment, and seemed to be very careful in the draft.

I saw that it was written:

The former decree ordered the Minister of Internal Affairs in charge to choose the construction of the Old Summer Palace project, which was originally intended to prepare for the queen mother of the two palaces to rest, use the funds to support, and then filial piety.

After the start of construction this year, I saw that the project was huge, and it was not possible to work on it; Now that the material resources are difficult, the funds are scarce, the military affairs have not been fully pacified, and there are partial disasters in the provinces from time to time, I am very merciful and do not want to use civil engineering work and heavy labor of the people, and all the projects of the Old Summer Palace have been stopped.

In the future, the border will be secured, and the treasury will be abundant, and then it will be repaired. Because the three seas are close to the palace, the palace is solid, the amount is repaired, and the work will not be too complicated. The minister in charge of the three seas will inspect the three seas, and how to repair the place, according to the situation, please handle it. Make this encyclical known. ”

"Very good!" Prince Gong pointed to the words "stop evenly" and said, "Let's change it to 'stop when it is even'!" ”

"Yes." Shen Guifen added notes casually.

"There are a lot of rumors outside, I think it's better for the emperor to read the garden workers in person."

Everyone took the opinion of the alcohol king as a result, so under "after the start of construction this year", "I have personally read and watched several times", implying that the so-called "micro line" is actually a misunderstanding of the garden workers.

So the final draft was transcribed, and then handed it over, and everyone was still waiting, and they could not disperse until the emperor approved and handed it over.

After waiting for an hour, and seeing no movement, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, afraid that things would change, and if there was another turmoil on the flat ground, I didn't know what to do!

Sure enough, there was a storm on the ground. At the moment of Shen Shi, the internal recital office handed over a box, which was not the edict of the stoppage of workers who had just been handed over, but an edict of Zhu Zhu, which was tightly sealed, and it was written: "Wen Xiang, Bao Dan, Shen Guifen, and Li Hongzao, the ministers of the military aircraft, will read it together." ”

This is a secret message, and the authority of the Minister of War and Aircraft is inviolable, so the first thing is that Prince Gong stood up and said, "Let's quit!" Let the four of them dispose of the secret oracle. ”

Even Prince Gong himself knew that in order to leave him alone, this secret edict had something to do with him. Wen Xiang took the envelope, knocked it a few times in the palm of his hand, and said slowly: "Something is abnormal, everyone go to the court room and sit down first." ”

"I don't have to!" Prince Gong half kept his identity, half complained, "Pan Boyin gave me a good inkstone, and it has been sitting there for three days, I have to take a look." ”

"It's good!" Wen Xiang nodded, "The sixth master will go back to the house first!" Let's talk about it later. ”

So Prince Gong got on the sedan chair and left the palace, and the five royal fronts and one master were next to the Longzong Gate, leading the ministers to rest in the house. Wen Xiang opened Zhu Yu and looked at it, and it was written:

"Spread the message to the ministers of the court, since the 26th day of the first month of last year, when I summoned Prince Gong, there have been many misconduct in language, and I have changed my favor to the hereditary replacement of the prince, and I have been demoted to the prince of the county, and I am still walking on the minister of military aircraft. and carried the title of king of Baylor County as a punishment. Chin this! ”

"In the end, I still can't spare the sixth master!" Wen Xiang looked out the window blankly, "My dear flesh and blood, why bother!" (To be continued.) )
