Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Big Burning Cold Stove
The day before, the Hongde Hall faced the king alone, "cutting the speech"; The next day, Xu Tong clearly felt that the little emperor's attitude towards him suddenly heated up, and he thought that "leaning on the humerus" meant a little.
In the words of the 21st century, it is: before, after Xu Tong's unprincipled touting, the little emperor had "turned the way" to him; After greatly attacking the etiquette of the foreign envoy's visit, the little emperor began to "turn his favor" to him.
Xu Tong began to reverie: Since the holy family is rich, after the emperor is in power, he will be respected as the emperor, of course, he will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, assist the holy lord, cut off the ministers, lead the military aircraft, and govern the country alone, and then, restore the system of the ancestors and the way of the holy king, hahahaha!
Solo music and others are happy, which is fun? Naturally, it is "not as good as people"! "The gift of the court is the system left by the ancestors and ancestors, and it is not obtained by the emperor alone"; Such good news is not "obtained by one person and privately"! Ha ha!
So, Xu Tong posted a post and invited a few people in his "circle" who were closest to him to come over for a "drink".
Here, there is a man named Liu Youan, whose position is Dr. Taichang Temple, and he is the seventh product. If you talk about the resentment of foreign affairs and the king of Xuanjun, Liu Youan is really not under Xu Tong. However, the reasons are not the same.
Xu Tong is a thing that really hates the relationship between the word "foreign" and "foreign", and he also has the ideal of restoring "the system of the ancestors and the way of the holy king". Liu Youan is a person without any ambitions and ambitions, if there is, then it is to keep his position as the doctor of Taichang Temple who is the seventh grade, and eat a sip of tea and rice - the problem is that he has an ominous premonition, this position. Sooner or later, it won't be insured.
It's a seat that can't be idle. Idle to the real "eat idle meal" Cheng dù. This kind of seat. Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple and other cold Cao Yamen, grab a handful.
Liu You'an's personality is shrewd, and he discovered a phenomenon that many people have not noticed: In recent years, if there are vacant seats in these yamen, the imperial court will not send people to fill the vacancies, and it will be a few years later. There are fewer and fewer people in these yamen, and there are "holes" everywhere.
However, although there are many "holes", the daily operation of these yamen has not been affected in the slightest -- it can be seen how many redundant personnel there were in the past!
Once in a while, it's good to be busy and do two things -- exactly as you deserve.
There have also been people who have put forward opinions: Why don't you send someone to fill the vacancy?
The answer of the imperial court was always: no money.
Where does the money go?
I have "restored the original spart" to the Beijing official - it has doubled! Hey, don't you think, add a few more mouths and stretch out a few more hands. Out of the purses of your working men, dig up a few taels of silver. Would it be better?
The person who gave the opinion had to shut up.
So, ahem, let's talk about it when it's really not enough for people.
Seeing that several Leng Cao Yamen were becoming more and more "withering", Liu Youan had a terrifying thought: Will there be a day when the imperial court will simply cut them all in one go?
If so, what else can you do? Be better, be Mr. Sissy; Worse, I'm going to go to the streets and write letters for others.
His grandmother's, how can that be?!
Liu Youan didn't think that the imperial court didn't send people to fill the vacancies because it had "no money" -- even if it was really "no money," it was not because of the "restoration" of the Beijing officials.
So, where does all the money go?
It's all taken to do foreign affairs!
Therefore, Liu Youan hated foreign affairs, and also hated the person who presided over foreign affairs.
Guan Zhuofan is the person who presides over foreign affairs; At the same time, Liu Youan also believes that Leng Cao Yamen's "failure to fill vacancies" is all due to Guan someone's proposition -- he did not wronged Guan Zhuofan in this regard.
Liu Youan naturally hated Guan Zhuofan.
He believes that only when foreign affairs are suspended and Guan Zhuofan steps down, can his position as a doctor of Taichang Temple sit down safely.
As for Guan Zhuofan's sake, their class of Beijing officials were able to "restore the original squad", Liu Youan selectively forgot about it.
The foreign affairs were suspended, and Guan Zhuofan went to work, this kind of thing could only appear in a dream. However, at the moment, it seems that there is a real hope of becoming a reality!
This glimmer of hope lies in Xu Tong.
Liu You'an's idea is basically the same as Xu Tong himself: after the emperor is in power, Xu Tong will be used as the emperor's teacher and preside over the state affairs, and the new law can be abolished and the old system can be restored - this is not impossible, this kind of thing is endless in history, why can't we come to it once?
So, Liu Youan decided to burn Xu Tong's cold stove fiercely.
The fire is booming, and in the future, his own benefits will not only be a seven-grade Taichang Temple doctor!
Therefore, Liu Youan was particularly stammering with Xu Tong, handed Xu Tong a protégé post, and entered the door wall in a high-profile manner - Xu Tong was not his teacher.
This time, Xu Tong invited his "fellow Daoists" to come over for a "drink", and he volunteered, paid out of his own pocket, went to the restaurant outside, and set a table of four taels and five dollars of silver.
Four taels and five dollars of silver is not a small amount for Liu Youan -- he himself has to rely on loans to get by.
Ahem, for the sake of the future Xu Da Scholar, Xu Dajunji, and Xu Daxiangguo, Liu Youan also fought hard.
At the banquet, Xu Tong was reserved, and said "roughly" about the situation of "cutting into words" and causing "saints to be alone".
Several guests were excited, and Liu Youan raised his glass and said: "Although the emperor is young, he is a saint!" With the teacher's teachings and support, he will be a generation of saints! We...... Congratulations to the emperor for all blessings! ”
Everyone at the table stood up one after another, raised their glasses and raised their necks.
Everyone else sat down, but Liu Youan was still standing, he first poured wine for Xu Tong, and then filled it for himself, holding the cup in both hands, and said solemnly: "Set things right, trace back to the source, and the burden of 10,000 catties depends on the teacher." The luck of the Qing Dynasty is on the shoulders of the teacher alone! Students toast to the teacher! ”
The others echoed and stood up again, Xu Tong's face was full of red light, and he was about to get up, but he was held down by Liu Youan, so he sat down and accepted this glass of wine.
"Set things right, go back to the source - that's a good point!" Xu Tong shook his head and said, "However, this is not my business alone, Ji Fu, this is also your business - and the business of everyone here." ”
"Jifu" is Liu You'an's word, he nodded again and again, and said: "Follow the teacher's teachings!" Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and under the command of the teacher, there are people with ambition and insight, and the more the better. ”
"But in today's world," said Chunfang Zhongyun indignantly with the surname Wang, "there are more and more people who are not clear-headed!" You see, what the 'American delegation', whenever you travel, there are always a lot of people, crowding onlookers, cheering and cheering - all confused! ”
"Alas, the market is stupid, pitiful and hateful!" A Honglu Temple master surnamed Sun shook his head and said.
"The mind is not clear," Xu Tong sneered, "Why not stop at the stupidity of the market?" I don't say anything else, just the word 'American' is ridiculous! These three words are not from the hands of 'market fools'! ”
No one immediately picked up this sentence, "America" - it sounds good, but where is the absurdity?
After a moment of silence, Liu Youan spoke: "The student is stupid, please teach the teacher." ”
"You think, what about ...... The United States, who is the United States? Holi? He Jian? Winning this good name? I am clear, and I am beautiful, profitable, and strong! The words of kindness were all given to Yangyi, which is really to increase the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige! ”
Everyone suddenly realized, Liu Youan patted his thigh lightly, and said loudly: "The teacher is insightful!" And what 'English' and 'French' are all good words, and they are all given to Yangyi! Some people, for the sake of foreigners, spare no effort, are really ...... Sell the country for glory! ”
"However," Chunfang Zhongyun, surnamed Wang, said with a smile, "there are also strange names, such as 'Portugal', 'Spain'......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Tong waved his hand again and again and said, "Alas, you were deceived by them!" ”
Wang Zhongyun was stunned: I was deceived by them - who was deceived? Where do you start?
"Please advise you."
"Grapes have teeth, Spain has teeth, teeth become a country, unheard of in history, unrecorded, absurd, nothing more than this!"
"Uh, Shade means—"
"In this world, there are America, England, France, but where is there 'Portugal' and 'Spain'? Those are all the names of the countries that Yingyi and Fayi have repeatedly made up for the sake of the momentum of Zhuangyi, confusing my hearing and hearing! ”
