Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ambition Must Be Achieved
"At the beginning of the 'Council of Ministers,'" Guan Zhuofan said, "Pu An and Bao Ting argued with each other, and Pu An believed that the establishment of the empress was not in the ancestral system; Bao Ting believes that 'high-spirited and indomitable' is the ancestral system, and 'changing with the times' or 'changing with the times' is the ancestral system, and there is always a first time in everythingββ"
After a pause, "How did they distinguish the question, there are very detailed meeting records, this record, the minister also brought it, so I won't be verbose here, I talked too much, and the Queen Mother listened to it and was also depressed." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Listening to these things, Cixi would never be "depressed", but she said "um" and didn't say anything, thinking to herself: You also brought the meeting minutes? Hello "thoughtful".
"The two of you come and go," Guan Zhuofan said, "As he spoke, his words brought out his spirit, and Pu An finally lost his temper and said loudly: Don't say anything else, what 'Ren and Xuanyi really can't find a suitable candidate for the heir emperor', it's not right!" Zai Cheng and Zai Ying, are they dead people? β
What the?
Cixi couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Lao Qi is really ...... "stupid"!
Zai Cheng and Zai Ying are already "out", and you pulled them back? Even if you don't agree with Zai Cheng and Zai Ying "out", why don't you speak during the meeting of the Military Aircraft Department? At this time, where is there any persuasiveness?
Also, it is more important: why can't you ask the sixth child to be the heir emperor! There is no tacit understanding at all, how can I still treat you as ...... "my person"?
In addition, your sixth brother and sixth sister-in-law pretended to be such a shocking and vulgar bitter love scene, and desperately pulled themselves out of the emperor's affairs, you are good, pull your sixth brother back! Do you still have brotherhood when you do this? That's not ...... Did you hit your sixth brother in the face in the face?
Don't say the word "dead man", how ugly! - It is not advisable to say so in private, let alone the "Council of Ministers" which is the most important occasion in the country?
"Pu An's words," Guan Zhuofan said, "make Prince Gong unable to sit stillβ"
After a pause, "Prince Gong stood up and said, 'I am already a wasted person, and on this occasion, from the day I retreated to the mansion, I should not set foot again, I don't know, why...... Or do you want to leave me alone? ββ
Cixi's heart shook slightly.
"He said, 'My liver disease is getting worse and worse, and now it's ...... Seeing that I am going to have another seizure, I can't support it anymore! Forgive me...... Retired first! Then he lifted his feet and walked. β
Yes?
At the last meeting of the Military Aircraft Department, the sixth child just brushed his sleeves halfway, and this time, again?
"Old Seven...... Alas! β
Cixi smiled slightly bitterly and shook her head slightly.
"It's not over yet-" Guan Zhuofan smiled faintly, "Pu An's eyes narrowed and said, 'Zai Cheng and Zai Ying, both surnamed Aixin Jueluo!'" Since you have this surname, it is not something that a certain person can get and specialize in! ββ
Cixi couldn't hide her stunnedness, she opened her mouth slightly, but in the end, she only sighed softly.
This old seven, there is no help!
"Bao Ting said," Guan Zhuofan said, "What the King of Alcohol County said is right - but even so, Zai Cheng and Zai Ying still can't succeed to the unification and ascend the throne as emperors!" β
"Huh? Reason...... What is it? β
"Bao Ting said, Zai Cheng - throughout the ages, has there been an emperor who has been tied up and sent to the Zongren Mansion? Such an emperor, after practicing Zuo, how do you tell him to shepherd all the people and reign over the four seas? β
Really.
"Zai Ying - Zai Cheng is the son-in-law, Zai Ying is the son-in-law, the dynasty is a prince, and the virtuous are capable, but in the two hundred years since the founding of the country, the ten saints have been in succession, is there a son-in-law, but the concubine is called to succeed to the throne and take the concubine Ling?"
Cixi thought about it seriously: really not.
The Kangxi Dynasty abolished the crown prince, and Yinren was abolished, so he lost the status of his son-in-law, so although Sejong succeeded to the throne with his concubine, he could not be called "Yishu Ling".
Although Zai Cheng was "bundled" to the Zongren Mansion, he was not punished in any way, and there was no change in the status of the son-in-law.
Baoting put out all the reasons that are extremely powerful, which are difficult to refute, Cixi sighed in her heart: Before, I was still thinking about "two to one", in fact, Lao Qi's head melon seed is really not enough to achieve things, more than one to fail, no more than him, no less than him, where can we talk about what "two to one"?
No wonder "over there" is so generous!
Hey, by the way, what about that Wu Keyu?
Back to the Queen Mother, he will appear immediately.
"Pu An is probably a little overwhelmed," Guan Zhuofan said, "turned to Wu Keyu and said, 'Liu Weng is deafening, there will be a person who will speak of caution, please express your heart', Yunyun." Wu Keyu said, 'What I want to say has already been said in the fold, say it again, but it will only disturb the hearing', Yunyun. β
Cixi was stunned.
Guan Zhuofan just said that Wu Ke reads "straightforward", then, this surnamed Wu should not be a person who is afraid of things - he is really afraid of things, and he can't be on such a fold? However, when it comes to the bones, how can it ...... Retracted?
"Park Anzheng doesn't know what to do," said Guan Zhuofan, "Bao Ting interjected and said, 'Liu Weng's masterpiece, I read itβfor it!'" β
Hit the knots for it? Counter-arguments, right?
"Wu Ke reads the number Liutang, so Pu An and Baoting call it 'Liu Weng'."
After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued: "Bao Ting said, the 'Great Gift Discussion' disturbed Chen's heart, Liu Weng made a tactful statement, the meaning was sincere, and it was like a child wrapping his knees around his parents. Well, that's a great idea, butβ"
I knew that there would be a "but".
"Liu Weng pushes himself to the people of the world, thinking that everyone in the world is pure, so it is negotiable! Liu Weng's method, if the heir emperor is honest in nature, is naturally feasible; If the heir emperor is as cold as the former Ming Shizong, who can guarantee that after he is in power, he will not change his agreement and be born of honor? β
Cixi disagreed with this passage.
Ming Shizong changed his proposal and was born after respect, not because of "cold nature". What's more, what he did was naturally "cold" to Xiaozong and the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, but for his biological father and mother, it was "hot" and "thick"!
In Cixi's view, after the emperor is in power, whether he will "change the proposal and be born of respect" is not at all in his "nature" cool, hot, thin, thick or something, but whether there is another way to restrict the emperor?
It is not surprising that the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng "can't take" Sejong as the heir emperor, after all, Sejong will be in power as soon as he ascends the throne, and there is no such thing as "hanging the curtain"; If it is replaced by Wu Keyu, the heir emperor has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and was raised by the queen mother, if this queen mother is me-hmph, will I not be able to "take" the heir emperor, so that he jumped out of my five-finger mountain, and even, turned his head upside down and bit me back?
However, I think so, but I can't say it.
"What's more," Guan Zhuofan continued, "In infancy, how can you distinguish between beauty and evil, good and evil? β
Wu Keyu sighed, there is no perfect way to do this kind of thing......
"Bao Ting said, why is there no perfect solution? Princess Rong'an's succession is the perfect strategy! β
Cixi's heart shook slightly.
"Baoting said that Princess Rong'an is the daughter of Emperor Wen Zongxian, Empress Dowager Ci'an, and Empress Dowager Cixi.
After a pause, "Bao Ting also said that as we all know, Princess Rong'an is pure in nature, intelligent and accessible, and when she ascends the throne and practices Zuo, she will be a generation of Ming Jun, and she will inherit the throne and heir, which is not only the luck of the clan, but also the blessing of the subjects of the world!" β
Honest and intelligent by nature?
A generation of Mingjun?
What else...... The luck of the clan pepper room and the blessing of the subjects of the world?
Cixi sneered in her heart: This sycophant! β¦β¦
"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "Bao Ting said that he has checked, and the current generation of 'Zai', who is still in infancy, has not had smallpox, if he is established as the heir emperor, he will unfortunately repeat the mistakes of the emperor in the future, so what can he do?" β
After a slight pause, "The generation of 'Zai' who is still in infancy at the moment has not already had smallpox - this, he said, is right." β
It's-
Cixi pondered for a moment and said, "This concern is not unreasonable, but - Li Niu'er has never had smallpox?" β
I'm waiting for your words.
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "Although Rong An has never had smallpox, he has already had pox, so he can be sure that he is safe." β
Yes?
Liniuer has a pox?
Cixi was a little at a loss: not only was there a big surprise, but she didn't know if what Guan Zhuofan said was true or false?
If it's true - how dangerous is it to get pox? He is willing to take great risks, and it can be seen that he is the daughter of Fujin and Wenzong...... Deliberate, determined to win!
If it's fake - it's even more terrifying!
That is to say, he has done whatever it takes for the sake of this emperor!
Cixi's heart couldn't help but feel a faint chill.
"Liniuer has a pox, this is good...... Uh, when did that happen? β
"It happened not long after Emperor Mu Zongyi was diagnosed with smallpox," Guan Zhuofan said, "I thought, this, my sister is concerned, I have to hurry up...... Make amends, or ......"
It sounds like there's some truth to that......
Don't......
"Pox ...... Pretty troublesome, right? Cixi tried to squeeze out a smile, "Liniu'er came over safely, hey, this, good, good ......"
"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said, "In fact, it's not that troublesome, what Rong An planted is not 'human pox', but 'cowpox', no need to work hard, a doctor, half a day's effort, it's enough, and there is no danger, a low-grade fever for a day or two, and it will come over." β
After a pause, "The effect is much better than 'human pox'." β
"Cow ...... Pox? What is that? β¦β¦ Uh, Western medicine? β
Guess it right.
"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan said, "The ins and outs of this 'cowpox', I can't say a word or two, the queen mother has to be free, and the minister will give the queen mother a detailed reply - or, ask Nan Bendao to return to the queen mother, she is a doctor, she must be more clear than what the minister said." β
Kusumoto Rice ......
Cixi's heart moved, and she nodded, "Hmm." β
At this point, it seems that there is not much reason to oppose Rong An's succession.
No, there is.
And, for the most important reason.
