81 Rectification of the Rulers (Asking for Votes)

He did not have the aggressive momentum of Su Shun, but his demeanor was serene, his appearance was clear, and he gave people the impression of being noble and noble, and he was unique to him and his extraordinary ability. He said very little, and seemed to be thinking calmly about the future of the Qing Dynasty, or even his own.

After many busy days, sitting quietly in the huge room of the military plane, he needed to sort out his thoughts. Everything is difficult at the beginning, in the face of this mess, where should the top priority begin?

Everything is done by people, the country must be governed first, and the officials must be governed first, and we should start with the link of people and people's hearts. According to the ancestral family law: the way to govern the world is to kiss. Only by governing one's own family well and working together can we form a united external force.

Otherwise, you will have trouble taking care of yourself, not to mention the effective implementation and enforcement of government decrees, which is an ancient admonition.

Among the relatives, King Hui is old and useless, and the seventh brother Wang Yiyun has grown up, and he is still very mature and stable, so he can be entrusted with important tasks. The fifth brother Prince Yi is not very capable, and he is not familiar with foreign affairs, because he was born with a rough appearance and rough behavior, he has always been disliked by his father.

During the reign of the fourth brother, when he was promoted to prince, he was always a county king. But no matter how you say it, they are all brothers, and they can still be entrusted with important positions. In addition, there are Prince Su, Prince Yu and other children of the Eight Banners.

To this end, Prince Gong requested that his seventh brother Yiyun be appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Front, the Minister of the Houhu, and the Minister of the Zhenghuang Banner Guard, and manage the affairs of the Shenji Battalion.

The Shenji Battalion was established after the end of the Second Opium War in order to rectify the armament of the capital and train the officers and men of the battalions of the Beijing Banner, and its officers and men were selected from the battalions of the Eight Banners Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Forward Battalion, the Escort Battalion, the Infantry Battalion, the Firearms Battalion, and the Jianrui Battalion, and were the most elite troops in the Banner Battalion.

In addition, he asked his fifth brother Yi Cheng to be promoted to prince, and appointed him as the minister of military parades, the commander of Manchuria under the Yellow Banner, and the management of the military armament court; Ren Su Prince Huafeng is the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, the minister of the guard with the yellow flag, and the Prince of Yu Yidao is the minister of the military parade.

At the same time, the eight banners and deputy commanders were greatly adjusted, and the ministers of the upper three banners were all led by the pro-county and the county king. Tongguò's major personnel adjustment not only united the close branch clans, but also strengthened the control of the Eight Banners in Beijing.

This greatly increased his status and prestige among the Manchu nobles.

Then, on the basis of redressing the wrongful imprisonment, he further set about recovering those officials who had been framed and excluded by Su Shun and who had always had influence in the government and the opposition.

The new emperor was seven years old, and it was time to open the museum, and he decided to use the opportunity to select the emperor to achieve this goal. He first thought of the former university scholars Qi Wangzao, Weng Xincun, and the former Taichang Siqing Li Tangjie and others.

Weng Xincun used to be Yixun's enlightenment teacher, and also taught Prince Hui Mianyu and Zhongjun Wang Yixuan, and was highly respected. It was only because during his tenure as the head of the household department that he opposed the taxing and import of opium in the name of foreign medicine, which contradicted the opinions of Su Shun and others, and was hated and excluded by Su Shun.

Later, because of the "Wuyu banknote case", he was almost put to death by Su Shun, and was able to be dismissed and retained after being protected by Xianfeng Dili.

Now that the "Wuyu" case has been rehabilitated and the grievances have been revealed, Weng Xincun and his protégés have long been grateful to Prince Gong. If we can reuse Weng Lao on the basis of redressing the wrongful imprisonment, we will greatly comfort the hearts of the scholars in the world.

Qi Wangzao, proficient in scriptures, once served as the head of the military aircraft, not only learned, but also has rich political experience, because of disagreement with Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others and retired.

Li Tangjie, Daoguang two years of Jinshi, profound education, moved to Taichang Temple, when the official Taiwan admonished, he had written many times, talked eloquently, and was a famous man for a while. During the Xianfeng period, when Su Shun was autocratic, he thought that it was pedantic and not useful, so he was attacked and abandoned.

In fact, these three people don't have any new ideas, and they don't have much experience skills. Yixun values them, mainly because they are all old and influential, and using them can achieve the purpose of winning people's hearts.

In addition, he further asked all provinces and armies to recommend talented and genuine talents, and asked internal and external ministers to recommend generals who were willing to serve the Qing court, and commended and rewarded those who recommended meritorious service.

He was very saddened by the phenomenon of the Qing Dynasty's lax administration and the sycophancy of officialdom, so he demanded that when selecting talents, all localities should break the accumulated habits, regardless of their status, and only act on merit.

In December of the first year of Tongzhi, he once again ordered the provinces to elect "filial piety and honesty", regardless of the "gentleman's cloth", if there is real talent and learning, it should be recommended. He is well aware that talent is the core of the power of the regime.

So break the habits, stick to one pattern, and recruit talents. In the early years of Tongzhi, he held such enbals and special branches many times in order to strengthen the strength of the regime.

Under his advocacy, important officials from all over the country have recommended talents, such as Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi to promote Luo Zenan, Li Xuyi, Li Xubin, and Liu Changyou; Luo Bingzhang recommended Zuo Zongtang and Tian Xingshu; Lao Chongguang Baoju Zhang Guoliang and so on.

By appointing relatives and nobles, redressing grievances, and selecting talents, Prince Gong not only greatly improved his prestige and status inside and outside the government and the opposition, but also unprecedentedly enhanced the cohesion of the Qing Dynasty and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Tongzhi.

The Princely Ministers, the Six Ministries and the Nine Secretaries, and Han Zhan Kedao have held several meetings in the Cabinet in order to propose the "Curtain Charter". Undoubtedly, this is the number one major event in the sky, and no one dares to speak rashly.

Therefore, the progress of the meeting was extremely slow, and even because of the excessive weight, the atmosphere in the audience seemed quite dull.

But in private, the three numbers are friendly, the study is clear, the situation is completely different, quoting scriptures, refuting each other, and many profound insights are revealed between what they see and what they see, and the similarities and differences are revealed.

One of the most frank views in the discussion is that the curtain of the empress dowager of the two palaces is really the full power of the acting emperor. And what kind of behavior the Empress Dowager Cixi is, in just these short ten days, it has been shown quite clear that she wants to follow the example of Empress Zhang Xian Liu of the Song Dynasty and have no monopoly on power.

Song Renzong's mother-in-law, Empress Zhang Xian, although she was also praised as "Ren Xi in this world", was actually a very powerful foot, and the character of the Empress Dowager Cixi was quite similar to her, so Prince Gong had to have some concerns.

Song Renzong ascended the throne with Chongren, and Zhang Xian listened to the government, if it were not for Li Di, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Du Yan, as well as Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan These ministers, they would be in the right mood and suppressed in case of trouble. Then Empress Liu, who drove the same car as the emperor, took the jade chariot, and paid tribute to the Taimiao, may become Wu Zetian's second.

These remarks were not intended to be a great stimulus to Prince Gong, but also a great inspiration.
