141 Hand the sign
"Nope." Rong Lu replied: "I don't dare! You think, what should I do if I really want to meet? Only secretly protected, not daring to show a trace. ”
"Alas!" Li Hongzao sighed and unconsciously rolled out two tears.
"The gardeners have to stop!" Rong Lu said with a solemn face, "The Japanese have ill intentions, if they don't avoid a war, military spending will be very difficult, so can they withstand the great construction again?" ”
The next day, Li Hongzao made a twist and turn, and had a very severe attack on the internal affairs government and the eunuchs who were close to the ministers, quoting the words in the "University", "The ministers who gather are not as good as the thieves", referring to "the ministers who are close to Xi and the ministers of the internal affairs government, all of whom are gathering ministers and stealing ministers";
said, "The emperor regards the world as his home, and now he wants to cut the emperor's house to fatten his family"; What is the benefit of the emperor's "self-imposed plan?" ”
Quoting scriptures in this way, the conclusion is naturally attributed to the request to stop working.
When the emperor saw it, he neither accepted nor added guilt, and threw the original fold away.
But Pan Zuyin, who was also in the south study, knew it, and it was passed out by him, and many people saw the sages and thought together, and were ready to follow and fold up, and make a direct admonition.
But it is the previous "Ming Fa Edict", which has been laughed at and generous, but the discussion is different, some say that the emperor is less or not, it seems that this is full of flaws, and it is like a child's play of "retribution", and he will actually believe it.
As a result, "Tianwei", which has been hurt by Weifu's private business and involvement in Pingkang, has suffered a lot of damage.
Some blamed the Minister of Military Aircraft, and such a case was allowed to evolve to this day, almost causing foreign-related disputes.
Of course, these ridicules are all out of an unusually sad mood, believing that in the long run, after more than ten years of hard fighting, the three major martial arts of Pinghongyang, Pinghua, and Pinghui Chaos, which have been exchanged for how many people's fat and people's ointment, will be destroyed in the hands of the current emperor.
So Prince Alcohol was the first to refrain and first consulted the imperial ministers of his class. There are a total of five ministers in front of the imperial court, all of whom are high-ranking and noble ministers, and the leader of the class is the king of Xuan, followed by the king of alcohol, Boyan Namo, Jingshou and Beile Yixuan with the title of county king.
"Fifth brother," said King Alcohol excitedly, "we can't stop talking." In this way, we will all be sinners of the Qing Dynasty in the future! ”
"Difficult!" The king shook his head and said, "It's light, it doesn't work; said it seriously, and I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to hang up. ”
"Good medicine is good for disease, it must be serious!" Prince Alcohol asked Boyan and Jingshou, "What do you two say?" ”
These two people have different temperaments, one is taciturn, and has always been moody and moody, and the other has the problem of not being able to sit for a long time, constantly wandering around the house, still and moving, very different, and at this time, it is the six-fronted Jingshou who does not like to talk to open his mouth.
"Let's talk to the sixth master, right?" He said, "It's better to list the masters together, it will be more powerful." ”
Prince Alcohol nodded in agreement.
At that time, I went to see Prince Gong, and he agreed without thinking, so he invited Wen Xiang, Bao Jun, Shen Guifen, and Li Hongzao to come, and agreed on what to say, a total of six, and recommended Yixuan to draft, and Li Hongzao to polish.
It was decided to be led by King Xuan, and the five royal fronts and the five military aircraft were combined. These ten people are either the emperor's uncles or the chief relatives of the pepper house, so the wording does not need to be tactful, the emphasis is on the pain, and he said frankly and bluntly at the beginning:
The emperor is admired by the subjects of the world, and although his words and actions are small, he must not be careless.
It is rumored that the emperor is in the palace gate and the eunuchs and so on to sing for fun, in addition to a lot of rumors, fortunately the Old Summer Palace to inspect the project several times, the outside is said that the emperor is happy to visit the view.
The ministers know that it must be nothing, but people must not be afraid of it.
To summon the ministers, the prestige should be serious, the words should be decent, not rash, all such people, may the emperor always pay attention.
Recently, there has been too much work in the inner court, and the money is huge. Those who urgently stop now are in the garden.
In the tenth year of Fu Si Xianfeng, Emperor Wen Zongxian patrolled the Rehe River from the Old Summer Palace, and so far the Chinese and foreign subjects have all been heartbroken.
The queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor all saw it in person, thinking of the situation that day, how could they bear to return to their place? That is, in terms of engineering, about 10 or 20 million will not be done, and at this time the material resources are difficult, how to raise such a huge amount of money?
May the emperor, generals, ministers, etc., be euphemistic in front of the queen mother of the two palaces. If Qin obeys Yi's decree and stops the garden work, the holy virtue of the queen mother of the two palaces and the filial piety of the emperor will tend to be more and more eternal! ”
This paragraph is to persuade the Empress Dowager Cixi, the meaning can not be obscure, but it can not be clear, this wording, painstakingly, the back and forth discussions of the ten ministers, are also focused on this paragraph.
In Prince Gong's mansion, the ten ministers were named on the bottom of the fold, and then transcribed by Yi Liang himself, handed over to the military aircraft department, especially to send a military aircraft Zhang Jing, sent to the internal affairs office, explaining that it is a major element, to be immediately presented to the imperial front.
The emperor has already received the news that the former minister and the minister of military aircraft are meeting frequently, and there will be a very painful admonition.
The emperor could already guess what these people were going to say, and the tone must not be pleasant, but it could also be imagined.
Therefore, when I saw the letter, I was like seeing a letter from a creditor, and I was afraid to open it.
Therefore, the Ten Ministers waited for a day.
In this way, on the third day, when the military plane met with the emperor as usual, Prince Gong couldn't help but ask: "The ministers had a joint letter the day before yesterday ......." ”
"I'm watching!" The emperor hurriedly said, "There is another will." ”
Prince Gong thought to himself, "There is another will", naturally it is a summons, you might as well wait a little longer, so I don't say anything more, and inform the five former ministers of the Emperor that they will meet at the military aircraft early the next morning and wait for the news.
The next day they met, the emperor still didn't say a word.
Prince Gong withdrew from the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, returned to the military plane, and immediately sent someone to inquire, and the report was that the emperor had not seen the twist and turn at all.
"How?" He asked the king.
"What else?" Prince Alcohol interface, "Hand over the sign!" ”
Ten green-headed sticks were handed over, and the emperor sent someone to say: "I'm tired today!" I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
As a result of everyone's discussion, it is believed that the emperor cannot be delayed, and this day must be met! Therefore, the second time the sign was handed over.
The second time I handed the sign, it was still not allowed, which was also in my mind, and Prince Gong asked someone to hand it again.
The third time he reached the imperial court, the emperor was both panicked and angry, and thought about it for a while, knowing that this was a difficult hurdle and had to be overcome, so he said with a calm face: "Okay!
See what they can say! “
So the ten ministers were led by the king of Xuan, and one by one with solemn faces, they went out of the military plane. (To be continued.) )
