Saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should save money is tantamount to asking the palace to spend it. The Empress Dowager Cixi has heard An Dehai's report more than once, saying that she asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs for things and money, and Prince Gong rarely had a time to pay it quickly.

"Don't you just live your life, who wouldn't be." Although she also knew that Prince Gong was not Sushun, she did not intend to embarrass her, so she felt that what she had just said was harsh.

However, on a day like today, that unhappiness is easy to hide, and it is not difficult to tolerate Prince Gong's mustard, so he echoed him and said: "Yes, those who should be saved must be saved." As soon as the chaos is settled, it will be 'all kinds of waste', and it will cost money everywhere. What's more, the twisting bandits are still making trouble, and military spending is also indispensable. ”

Hearing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was so reasonable, the ministers of military aircraft were all convinced.

After exiting the Palace of Heart Cultivation, he went to the military aircraft to discuss and re-study Zeng Guoquan's original performance, and came to the same opinion:

One is happy, the other is worried. But in any case, this was the first major expedition since the founding of the country, and it was also the first great feat. The chaos in Jiping is naturally the first to be credited by Zeng Guofan, and it is really worthy of being crowned a king.

But no one was willing to do so.

In the excitement and anxiety, at the end of the month, Zeng Guofan's good news finally arrived. Surprisingly, it was not Zeng Guofan, who was in charge of military affairs and presided over the entire war situation.

Instead, he sat in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and because he relied on Hu Linyi, he was the co-organizer of the university, Shihuguang, and the governor of Huguang. Zeng Guoquan fought hard for merit, while his eldest brother deliberately gave in, why the temperaments of these two brothers were so different, and they couldn't help but be puzzled for a while.

In the list of meritorious generals opened by Zeng Guofan, Li Chendian was the first, and he only succeeded in digging tunnels as the key to the great victory, so he ranked first in terms of merit. followed by Xiao Fusi, because Li Xiucheng was caught by his subordinates. As for Zhu Hongzhang, who first landed in the city, first entered the "Heavenly King's Mansion" and captured Hong Xiuquan's second brother Hong Renda, he ranked fourth.

As soon as this good news was transmitted, it once again shook the nine cities. Not only Jiangning was completely under control, Hong Fuyao was burned to death, Li Xiucheng was captured, although there were many Hong troops in the north and south of the river, they lost their support and collapsed without a fight.

Prince Gong and the Minister of Military Aircraft have discussed secretly several times, using the precedent of having never had a civil servant in this dynasty and being crowned a prince as a reason, and named Zeng Guofan as a first-class marquis, and Xi has a good name and the title of "Yi Yong".

Zeng Guoquan's knighthood is second-class, named Wei Yibo, Li Chendian is a first-class viscount, and Xiao Fusi is a first-class baron. In this battle, there were only four people who won the "fifth-class title", including the Hou, the uncle, the son, and the man.

The marquis of Zeng Guofan was "hereditary", and the rest were all left to stop. Li Chendian has not even been a "lord" for a day, and when the edict arrived, he had already died of illness on the second day of the seventh month.

In addition, the commanders of the southeastern army and the ministers of the feudal territory, Guanwen and Li Hongzhang were also made earls, and only Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Zhejiang, and Shen Baozhen, the governor of Jiangxi, were not among them, because Zhejiang and Jiangxi had not yet been leveled, and the reward could not be delayed.

He also said: "Over the years, it has been rumored at home and abroad that the wealth of the traitor, the gold and silver are like the sea, and the old nest has been restored, and there is no goods and wealth, which is beyond expectations."

At present, the preparation of the aftermath is very urgent, and the amount of money is very huge, such as compensating the victims of the disaster, repairing the city wall and garrisoning the camp, all of which are the main end of the aftermath. The rest of the hundred threads are prosperous, left and right, and while they are happy, they are more anxious. ”

Prince Gong was very displeased when he saw this twist!

Li Tangjie shook his head and sighed: "The name of the Hundred Worlds is greatly discounted because of the fire of the pseudo 'Heavenly King's Mansion'!" This statement touched on the place where Prince Gong was dissatisfied with Zeng Guoquan, and he immediately frowned a pair of long eyebrows.

Everyone was silent, talking about people's ethics, and speaking cautiously and implicitly, only Baojun dared to say loudly in front of him at this time: "Yes, there are people coming from the south these days, and it is very lively!" ”

"Not only Zeng Laojiu, but also everyone in Hunan have made a fortune. The pseudo-'royal mansion' was all burned clean, only Chen Yucheng's 'British Prince's Mansion' was not burned because it was empty. ”

Bao Jun said again: "Even if it is all burned, there will be a little bit left, and 'gold and silver are like the sea', and they will suddenly disappear into nothing, which is too much to say." ”

"It's strange here. Was it burned, or was it robbed? It seems that it is impossible not to pursue it. ”

"How did it burn it, real gold is not afraid of fire!"

The dignified Wen Xiang said: "Maybe it was the 'kings' who escaped and took it with them, but I don't know." Such an analysis is unless it is admitted that the "Heavenly King's Mansion" has nothing in the first place.

Otherwise, it would be impossible not to sit on the ground, after Zeng Guoquan's army broke through Jiangning, it was all collected. Jiangning was besieged for more than 40 days, transportation was cut off, and the goods of the "Heavenly King's Mansion" could not be smuggled out of the city, so how could there be "nothing in the first place"?

Prince Gong sighed heavily, stood up, took two steps, stopped his foot, and said with a look of chagrin: "If the treasury is abundant, forget it, but it is so poor that it is so chaotic and peaceful, and there is no way to do it, how can you explain it to the top and bottom?" ”

His status did not have access to the officials of the last rank of Weilu, and his knowledge was limited to the customs and customs of Gyeonggi. Therefore, he looked at Zeng Guoquan from Zeng Guofan's eyes, which constituted a huge mistake.

On this day, it was a serious conversation, and the topic was still on Prince Gong's troubles, the treasury was in short supply, and Zeng Guofan asked for money to deal with the aftermath.

Bao Jun had a deeper experience than Prince Gong, and explained: "Lord, what are you doing with his words? Zeng Guofan said that the pseudo-'Wangfu' was penniless, and he just made a statement to cover his ears and steal the bell for his old brother! ”

Bao Jun said in the position of the head of the household: "Do you think he will really come to me to ask for money? No! After so many years of fighting, he didn't think of it himself! Now that he is doing the aftermath, he should have relied on the local government, but he has to ask the court to allocate funds before he can do it? Think about it, isn't that true? ”

Prince Gong smiled: "Why are you saying this now?" ”

Bao Jun said aggrievedly: "The official of the household department is really difficult to be, and he is inconsiderate inside and out, and he is really suffering." ”

Prince Gong listened to his tone with a whint, and couldn't help but play with his words again.

The yamen who is in charge of money, the outsiders do not succeed, and they have their own complaints, which can be imagined, and it seems that the internal officials are not considerate, what is going on?

Since Jinling Jie reported to Beijing, the people in the Internal Affairs Office saw that the world was peaceful, and the good days had arrived. After more than ten years of fighting, everything is simple, everyone is suffering to death, and now the chaos is calm, and the queen mother of the two palaces should not enjoy happiness?
