Zeng Guofan admired Su Shun very much, in fact, he has always had a low opinion of Prince Gong Yixin and his military aircraft team, and once commented that "Gong Di is extremely smart, and he can't stand on his feet." Wen Baichuan is decent and narrow-minded, and he doesn't know how to ask for help. Bao Peiheng is dissatisfied with the population. ”。 Translated into the daily language of Guo Xing'a, Yixin is a soft egg with no ideas, Wen Xiang is a mouse, and Baojun is simply a troll.

This Tianjin lesson plan made Zeng Guofan even more disappointed with Yixin and his family. Although he is a person who comes out of the top tank, the court has done too well, and he has never cared about his feelings. The imperial court wanted to preserve the peace situation and protect the foreigners, and Zeng Guofan did it for them, so why bother to delete Zeng Guofan's recitals and put all the on Zeng Guofan's head. Now the foreigner's business is over, but a generation of famous ministers Zeng Guofan is also completely abolished, except for his Hunan army will still worship him, I am afraid that everyone will no longer bird him.

Zeng Guofan can already ignore his own gains and losses, he is already a person who is about to enter the ground, what else can't he see! But he's worried about the country! Yi Xin's status is also supplemented by the same thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Duke of Zhou of the Qing Dynasty, but he does not have the courage and courage of the Duke of Zhou, he is too petty. behaved like an old bureaucrat who was up and down in the sea, stealing tricks and shaking cleverness everywhere, and being as slippery as a loach, and not seeing any responsibility. The people in the capital who scolded him for cowardly bags are afraid that there are more clouds than in the sky, and if he continues like this, he will have to go home sooner or later to think about the past. If it is another country, it is not a problem to have such a first assistant, just change the first assistant and the military aircraft team. But the Qing Dynasty can't do it! If Prince Gong Yixin falls, the central government will not be able to communicate inside and outside and support the pillars of the Qing court. If the heroine hangs the curtain, or the young emperor replaces Prince Gong, it is difficult to say where the country will go.

What puzzled Zeng Guofan the most was that when the case was more than halfway through, the news of the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War had spread in officialdom, and even Zuo Zongtang, who was far away in the northwest, heard that "France and Bloss formed an army, and the French lord Louis Fes was captured by France." In his letter to Prince Gong, Zeng Guofan mentioned this matter several times, "It has been rumored for a long time that the legal person and the country have quarreled. If the law is far, the cloth will open troops, or make friends from afar and attack closely, and do not want to embarrass China. I also heard that the Dharma Lord was old and tired of things, and his intention to fight with him or not seemed to be everything", suggesting that he could take this opportunity to adjust his countermeasures and reverse the unfavorable situation. However, Prince Gong did not say anything and did not respond. This move made Zeng Guofan quite puzzled, and even aggravated his disappointment with this prince. However, Zeng Guofan, who had never served as a cardinal and had heard of military aircraft, probably never imagined that at the same time as the earthquake in Jinmen, a fierce power game was also started in the court. Compared with Zeng's anxiety, Prince Gong can be called thrilling.

The news of the outbreak of the Tianjin teaching case came to the palace in the evening, and such a serious and thorny matter occurred, and the prime minister, Yamen, who was in charge of foreign-related affairs, responded in a timely manner. However, there was an accident, and Prince Gong was suffering from a stubborn illness and was recuperating in the mansion, not in the Yamen Council. And another big man, Wen Xiang, went home because of his mother's funeral. As a result, a huge yamen can only be presided over by Baojun and Dong Sui. Both of them are descendants of Prince Gong, so they must first report to the palace for discussion, and then issue instructions to Jinmen. However, this confidential process will inevitably affect the efficiency of decision-making, and it will be the next day until it is sent out by the court. And its content is extremely general: "We must observe the situation and handle it quickly and evenly, so as to conform to public opinion and maintain the overall situation." With this decree, Tianjin officials did not know how to do it for a while. Two days later, the "Letter to Prince Gong and the Ministers" from the ministers stationed in Beijing was delivered. The wording is very strong, believing that there must be xenophobic forces behind this lesson plan, such as Chen Guorui, the governor of Tianjin, who "commanded the party to manipulate it later."

The central response is weak, and the foreigners are aggressive, which makes the two palaces sit like pins and needles. So much so that when the court was discussing politics, Cixi's heart was on fire, and she "felt angry and had a toothache". It was at this time that an undercurrent began to surface. Wang Yiyun suddenly folded up, offering advice on the surface, but in fact he was accountable. Such an off-string sound undoubtedly indicates that the waves from the Tianjin Gate will set off an unpredictable wave in Beijing. The unfathomable Seventh Master Yiyun, this time suddenly showed his sword, it was by no means an idle move, but it was a pity that the courtiers, Prince Gong and the two palaces who were used to despising the Seventh Master failed to pay attention to it.

During the Xinyou period, the dragon swung its tail, and Yi Xun, who was only twenty-two years old, was awarded the title of prince of the county, the minister of the imperial front, and the minister of the guard, which became an important town of the military. However, the performance of this new favorite in the military world after that is really surprising. At first, the two palaces believed that the king of alcohol had the talent to lead the generals, so he "repeatedly ordered his commanders to supervise the battalions of the Beijing Division", in order to train an elite division. However, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, they have been lazy and tired for many years, how can this decline be reversed by a hairy boy in his early twenties? Even if the Shenji Battalion is newly formed, the effect is not very good, and it is far from the level of the Gu'an Army that the big guys expected. Once Yi Xun presided over a drill, a cavalry actually "fell off the horse and surrendered". King Alcohol was very puzzled and asked, "Why are your riding skills so bad?" This person's answer is also a must: "I am a tofu seller in a grinding factory, and I was hired to fill the number today, and if I can ride a horse, I will be out of the ghost?" Although the answer was very shocking, it was also true. Immediately afterwards, another soldier exposed his horse's feet, and in the process of running, his military uniform was accidentally untied, and "carved Peiyu played dozens of things and fell to the ground". It turned out that this man thought that being a soldier was not enough to support his family, so he started an antique business part-time. Military affairs are so lax, as the prince, Yi Xun should have made a big rectification, but he actually asked to resign from the relevant positions several times afterwards. It's just that the Queen Mother insisted on not allowing it, and there has never been a foreign enemy attacking the Jingshi, so the Seventh Master will be a monk for a day and hit the bell for a day, barely coping with it. However, compared with the fourth brother Xianfeng and the sixth brother Prince Gong, among the six living sons, the king of alcohol can only be regarded as an ordinary person.

It's not terrible to be sparse and shallow, but it's terrible to be shallow but ambitious. Being a man is important to know himself, since his talent is scarce, Yi Xun should be low-key, but in fact he does the opposite. The king of alcohol is quite good-looking, and he has a lot of ambitions in his heart, and he is not effective in military affairs, but he is particularly energetic for the central power. Besides, it's really hard to say whether Yiyun has talent or not, although people can't do anything, but political speculation has never failed. Therefore, seeing that the sixth brother was in charge of the government, Yixun's eyes couldn't help but redden, his heart was itchy, and he was eager to try it for a long time. And in many specific policies, he often thinks that his brother's actions are too weak and lacking, so he gradually becomes dissatisfied and even slanderous.

However, Yi Xun has not moved before, and the two palaces of Tongzhi have joined forces with Su Shun in the fourth year of Tongzhi, and once deposed Prince Gong once. At that time, the two palaces just wanted to find a balance between Su Shun and Prince Gong, and suppressing Yi Xin's disobedience was a passing matter, but Yi Xin's performance at that time was very eye-catching. Yi Xun hurried back from the scene of the Tanglin overseer, and united with the royal family to intercede for the sixth brother, and finally secured the throne of the chief minister of the military aircraft department, and his performance seemed to reflect the deep brotherhood.

However, at this time and again, Yi Xun is not a hardcore supporter of the sixth brother after all, and their great enemy Su Shun is also dead, so he doesn't need to scruple anymore. Yi Xun wrote to protect his sixth brother, not only a brother and a friend, but another political speculation for him. Cixi suppressed Prince Gong, just to take power and prevent Yi Xin from coveting the throne, Yi Xun saw this clearly to protect his sixth brother, Su Shun is still there! If there is no sixth brother, Su Shun will not be the first to spare Yiyun. This time, Yi Xun stabbed him in the back, which was an attempt to divide power, so the eldest sister-in-law and brother-in-law both wanted to strip power from Yi Xun and return it to themselves, rather than completely bringing down Prince Gong, and neither of them could govern the country. The extreme thirst for power can cause father and son to kill each other, brothers to turn against each other, and the courts of all ages. The King of Alcohol is just a rehash of the same old tune.

It's not terrible to not understand, but it's terrible to pretend to understand if you don't understand. Foreign-related issues are the most difficult matter for the government at any time and place, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty is in the midst of violent shocks at home and abroad. Therefore, as the prime minister and minister of Yamen, Yi Xin is walking on thin ice and trembling every time he encounters something. Yixin has a relatively sober understanding of the comparison of Chinese and foreign forces and the trend of the situation, so he advocates a relatively rational approach, values harmony in everything, and strives for self-improvement. However, Yi Xun, who looked at the sixth brother's hot position and was red-eyed, did not understand the world situation, although his insight was stubborn, but his courage was different from that of ordinary people.

More than a year before the Tianjin Teaching Case, when the Qing court was revising treaties with Britain and France, Yi Xun, who had been slandering his brother's governance style for a long time, could no longer hold back, and handed over a copy of "Jing Chen Guan Zhi Zhi Zhi" and "Six Articles of the Law for Expelling Foreigners", which openly disagreed with Prince Gong's political views. At the beginning of the chapter, Yi Xun pointed the finger at his sixth brother's confidant, believing that his so-called opinion on amending the covenant "may not tolerate holy virtue, or that Catholicism is no different from interpretation, and it is not the current Gou An, and will protect foreigners, for their own favor and glory, this minister has no teeth to despise, and those who cannot be stubbornly dissolved." Killing chickens is naturally for monkeys to see, and after naming and criticizing Chonghou, Yi Xun turned to the prime minister's yamen policy for several years. In his view, the reason for the rise of the Westernization Movement was that "the first mistake was to be reluctant and disobedient, and then to the indefinite suppression, especially the internal and external ministers, who were not in affiliation, those who uphold the government had no fixed opinion, and the Xinjiang officials and generals were at a loss." Based on this judgment, Yi Xun pointed out that "Gengshen (Xianfeng 10 years) must respond to the peace treaty, now must be restrained, and will be broken in the future", so foreign affairs are only a temporary expediency, and we must train the soldiers diligently, "once the rupture is overturned, the people of the world will be the enemy, and the enemy will be several countries, such as the destruction of Wu by Yue, and the subduing of the Turks by Tang."

Specifically, how to plan the plan to drive away the ocean, Yiyun came up with his own six plans: "First, please consult the superintendent to collect the effect of thinking"; "2. Please ask the king's ministers to express their views in order to help the difficult times"; "Third, please collect the hearts of the people to consolidate the fundamentals"; "Fourth, please reject foreign objects to show the world"; "Fifth, please summon the general, in case of danger"; "Sixth, please ask the prime minister and the minister of national affairs to check in detail the number of Yi people entering the city, so as not to suffer from elbows and armpits." If the first, second, fifth, and sixth articles are just arguments and then mentioned again, then the third and fourth articles are really absurd statements that do not understand the world situation. To put it bluntly, Yi Xun's idea of expelling foreigners and boycotting foreign goods shows that this kind of naïve idea can only be a gimmick, and the move of rejecting Western modern civilization still has a wide influence among the royal family and scholars. And the so-called political views of the seventh master Yiyun are also a level of indignant youth.
