However, Cixi took out the first one, and it was not the "most important" one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"There's one thing," said Cixi in a casual tone, "I don't think I understand, so I'll ask you for advice." ”

"Don't dare," Guan Zhuofan bowed slightly, "Please admonish the Queen Mother." ”

"Among the courtiers, or...... People, if there is such a situation-"

After a pause, "Well, the family, my daughter has already left the cabinet......"

Speaking of this, he smiled, "Alas, I'm stupid and can't understand things!" This one...... How to say that? ”

Stopped.

How could Cixi be "stupid"? How can you "not understand things"?

What she wanted to say, Guan Zhuofan was like a mirror in her heart.

"Is that what the Queen Mother meant? - If the Venerable Master passes through the family and leaves the pavilion, and the daughter comes back to divide the family property, what can I do? People are about right—I'm a woman! The vast rivers and mountains can be sat by women! Don't say half of the property! ”

"Well, you know people—that's about what it means."

"The minister thinks that the ministers cannot be compared to the king," Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "The succession of the great treasure and the inheritance of the emperor's heir, how can the subordinates and the people compare with each other indiscriminately?" After the emperor ascended the throne, his subordinates and the people, what they were originally like, naturally what they were still the same, if someone thinks that 'today is a woman, and the vast country can be sat by a woman', there is a need, then ...... It's 'trespassing'! ”

"Renchen...... Can't be on the king? ”

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan said, "for example, the mourning of the ministers will be kept for three years; The national mourning, but only 100 days, how can it be compared? ”

After a pause, "People and ministers cannot be pretended to be kings, there are two meanings: first, the king sets an example for the world, but not all behaviors must be simulated by people and ministers, let alone used as an excuse to make a selfish decision!" ”

"Second, it must not be reversed, and the rules of the people and ministers should be applied to the king! If so, it is not just 'transgression', but 'rebellion'! ”

Cixi pondered for a moment and said, "That is to say, I can pass on the family property to my daughter, but it is none of your business, you can't follow my example; You may not pass on your property to your daughter, but you can't ask me to be like you and not pass it on to your daughter. Because, I am the 'king' and you are the 'minister', the rules of the two of us are different, if you learn from me, you are 'transgression', and if you want me to be the same as you, you are ...... 'disobedient'. ”

When Cixi said this, there was a little mockery in her tone, but Guan Zhuofan said calmly: "Queen Mother Shengming, that's what happened!" Qiankun Fangyuan, non-rude work! ”

Hey, that's an interesting statement.

"Qiankun Fangyuan...... Unruly work? ”

"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan said, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, is the 'Qiankun', is the square is the circle, that is the Qiankun's own business, it is a congenital thing, do not do the 'rules' - 'rules' are acquired man-made things, can only be applied to the ministers, how can it be applied to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Cixi's heart jumped very much.

Qiankun is round, and it is not a matter of rules - Guan Zhuofan justifies this as the heir of Rong'an, but when necessary, I can also take this for my own use!

So, she nodded, and the topic was stopped.

Okay, it's time to say the "most important".

"There's another matter," Cixi's tone was still idle, "and I want to ask you for advice." ”

"The Queen Mother said so," Guan Zhuofan said, "how can the minister afford it?" Whatever mercy you have, please make it clear. ”

"You say," Cixi smiled, "if Liniuer becomes emperor, what is the surname of her child—uh, the child you have with her?" ”

Okay, here we are.

Guan Zhuofan said without hesitation: "Naturally, the surname is Aixin Jueluo!" ”

Cixi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again, "You're ...... Generous. ”

With a smile on his face, his heart sank.

If this layer is revealed, there will be no reason to oppose Rong An's succession!

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said solemnly, "If Rong An is really the heir, then Rong An is the king and the minister...... is a minister, and the child born is naturally the emperor's heir, and the surname is on the head, so he naturally follows the king, not the father. ”

From the king, not from the father.

"This is the same as 'people and ministers cannot be imitated by the king', 'the universe is square, and the work is not in accordance with the rules'."

"Hmm."

After a moment of silence, Cixi said: "The 'Council of Ministers' of the King is also ...... Is that what you say? ”

"Yes."

"Then," Cixi smiled faintly, "Old Seven, they shouldn't have anything to say, right?" ”

"This-" Guan Zhuofan pondered for a moment, "That's what Pu An said, 'There is one thing, if Prince Xuan agrees to make an empress, I will not object. ’”

Cixi's eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Oh? ”

Then he changed back to that idle demeanor: "What's the matter?" ”

"Pu An said, everyone knows, if 'a small sect succeeds a big sect', the emperor's biological father will not be able to interfere in politics - well, please ask Prince Xuan, if it is the emperor's 'own husband' - what should I do?"

Cixi's heart jumped suddenly, and she secretly shouted, "Not good! ”

"I haven't answered yet," Guan Zhuofan said, "Bao Ting and Pu An quarreled first, Bao Ting said that the emperor's biological father cannot interfere in politics, which refers to the 'small sect into the big sect', Princess Rong'an herself is in the 'big sect', she is the daughter of Emperor Wen Zongxian, she inherits the heir - inherits the heir of Emperor Wen Zongxian, how can this be called 'small sect into the big sect'?" 'This biological father' and 'this husband', how can there be an analogy? ”

Cixi's voice trembled slightly, "That...... What does the seventh say? ”

"Pu An sneered again and again, and said, 'Baozhupo, no matter how much you bloom lotus flowers, how can you obey the hearts of the people of the world and block the mouths of the people of the world?' Then, he said again: If you follow the example of the emperor's biological father who 'small sect enters the big sect' - he will not object to Rong'an succeeding to the throne and inheriting the heir! ”

"Then, turn to me, 'Prince Xuan, how is it?' ”

Guan Zhuofan frowned, pouted slightly, squinted his eyes, and simulated Yiyun's demeanor vividly.

This description was originally quite funny, but Cixi couldn't laugh, and said in her heart: The old seven are confused! 'M afraid......

"Finally it's my turn to speak," Guan Zhuofan said very calmly, "I said, my identity and situation are actually quite embarrassing at the moment, I once made it clear to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the meeting of the king's ministers, I should not preside over it, please ask another noble minister to preside over its affairs." ”

After a pause, "The Queen Mother asked me, is it because Princess Rong'an is my blessing, so I want to avoid suspicion?" I said, yes, Shengming is no more than the Queen Mother. ”

"The Queen Mother taught me, 'You are wrong about this! Rong'an is not only your Fujin, but also the daughter of Emperor Wenzong! In terms of titles, the two of you are enemies, but in the end, she is a king, and you are a minister! Between fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands and wives, it is true that they must avoid suspicion, but in the world, is there a reason for courtiers to avoid suspicion from the king? ’”

"East Side" can actually move out of such a set of big truths?

"I can't resign," Guan Zhuofan said, "I have to take Yi's decree and come here to preside over the 'Wang's Council of Ministers', otherwise, there will be a suspicion of trespassing." ”

After a pause, "Now, since the king of the alcohol county blames me as the 'emperor's husband', I can't figure it out, what is the difference between the 'biological father' of the small sect and the 'husband' of the big sect?" I don't dare to disturb the hearts of the people of the world, nor do I dare to plug the mouths of the people of the world, so I have to-"

Cixi's heart was raised high.

"From now on—no, from now on, I ask myself to send all my envoys and return to the Domain."

Cixi's mind was slightly "buzzing": I knew that you were going to come to this trick!

She inhaled secretly, but her voice still trembled slightly: "That's it...... Back home? ”

"Yes."

"Alas!" Cixi sighed, "Why bother? You're not...... Got a little upset? Lao Qi's temper, you don't know it, when you are in a hurry, you won't be able to speak well, why do you bother...... What about being as knowledgeable as him? ”

After a pause, he said in a slightly reproachful tone, "You picked such a big mess, how did you manage to cook it by a person in the 'east'?" ”

Guan Zhuofan bowed slightly and said, "What the Queen Mother taught me is that I am indeed a little angry about this matter. ”

After a pause, "Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying, and a few of them came to look for me a few times, and in the middle, something happened in Xinjiang......

"Ah, Xinjiang ......" Cixi was stunned, "Zuo Zongtang and them, they should have entered Xinjiang a long time ago, and now ...... How's the fight going? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "the fight is very good, Urumqi, Manas, Turpan, have all been defeated, except for Ili, the northern Xinjiang has all been recovered, at this moment, the western expeditionary army, is vigorously marching into southern Xinjiang." ”

"Ah......h

Cixi let out a low, long sigh, which was extremely complicated.

If it weren't for Mu Zong's death and the series of accidents that followed, if he was still the same person he was ten months ago, how comfortable and happy would he be to hear the news now?

But......

Alas!

Cixi froze and said, "Good, good, your messenger, do a good job!" ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

"Well, you just said, 'There's something going on in Xinjiang', what's the matter?"

"Taranzi of Ili," Guan Zhuofan said, "sent an envoy to Zuo Zongtang and said that if we don't let him go, he will throw himself into Russia." ”

"Throw yourself to Russia?" Cixi's eyes lit up, "This Taranqi was frightened by us and grabbed the life-saving straw indiscriminately!" Hmph, I see, this straw, he may not be able to grasp it, but if he grabs it, it may not work! ”

"Queen Mother Shengming!"

Guan Zhuofan sighed in his heart: Although she has not been in contact with government affairs for ten months, the royal sister is still keen! Originally, what a good partner this was? It's a pity that she is a monarch and can never be a real "partner", and the top of the pyramid of power is too narrow to put two people at the same time!

"This matter, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying, they are really not very good, you have to do it - you see, the country is really inseparable from you, what about you, don't be angry."

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan said, "The queen mother came to the minister's house and taught the minister a hard lesson, and the minister was very ashamed. ”

"Ah...... 'East Side'...... Went to your house? ”
