"Prince Gong is willing to belong to Shen Guifen as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and then enter the direct military aircraft, listen to the Queen Mother, to the yes also feel that it is okay, so in December of the seventh year of Tongzhi, the decree, Shen Guifen was appointed as the governor of Shanghai, and went south to take up his post in a few days.

The Queen Mother Gong uses more Han people, and the Thai half Hunan people, the Eight Banners have a lot of complaints, and the Queen Mother smiled when she heard it: "This is not simple? "Order the military aircraft department to give an order. In Henan and Shandong provinces, the "Governor of the Central Plains" was newly established, and Zuo Danmei, the former minister of the imperial palace and the minister of the guard, Manchuria and the Yellow Banner Commander, was appointed as the governor of the Lijiao Yuan, which led the world's religions and governed the monks, nuns, and Taoist associations. The Ministry of Education was established to oversee the education of school students; It coincided with the completion of the Jingshi Lecture Hall. He also ordered the banner man to be a young man, "Don't enter the imperial examination." or those who do not enter the martial arts hall shall not be awarded an official position of six grades or more. "The official document immediately entered the direct military aircraft, but the official document is quite proud, there has always been no one at the moment, and Prince Hegong is not harmonious, and he also adds chaos to the military aircraft. Since then, there has been a new establishment from the first grade of the big guy, two from the second grade, and countless from the third grade below. Quite a few people were settled. Eight years after Tongzhi, the system of changing officials was extended to the seven provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangzhou, and Tianjin.

In the matter of Western Xinjiang, the White Lotus Sect and other religions entered Xinjiang to preach, changing the situation of Islam being the dominant family in Xinjiang, and the various religions contended, coupled with the merit of the imperial examination education to select people, the connection between the ministries and the imperial court was tightened. Agubai's momentum became more and more decadent, and finally in October of the eighth year of Tongzhi, Kashgar was conquered, and the rebellion of Agubai was pacified, and Agubai fled to the Burut Department alone, and was captured by the lord of Kokand. Zuo Zongtang's camp in Kashgar was personally dedicated, Zuo Zongtang loudly reprimanded the lord of Kokand, ordered him to escort Agu Bai to Beijing to meet the court, and wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the northwest border be agreed with Russia, and the ministry took the opportunity to set up the second political envoy in Xinjiang and the twelfth government. The ninety-sixth county is not responsible for collecting taxes, but only for the work of education. The military department has two commanders, four generals, and nine generals. It's just that Britain and Russia are not willing to fail, and they are secretly plotting something.

Outer Mongolia set up Kulun Uriya Sutai Wuliang Hai three consolation envoys and subordinate officials, sent by the central government to flow officials, and set up judicial officials, more use of Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners officials, do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Mongolian ministries, by pacifying the authority of Agubai, the ministries dare not act rashly, the Imperial Court formulated the "Regulations of the Inner and Outer Domains", the rights and obligations of the internal and external domains have been stipulated, the internal domains have many restrictions and constraints, it is better not to build a country by itself, only can be called Khan, not called the lord of the country, etc., but there are many preferential terms, official transactions, etc. are all needed by the ministries, so, Xinjiang Qinghai Mongolian tribes gradually stabilized, since then the northwest is unhindered, Zuo Zongtang got this frontier military merit, comparable to the pacification of the Hongyang rebellion, the Ministry of Rites agreed, the title of the first class duke, the title of "Su Yong", handed over to the three generations of the lord, this title has been above the Zeng State Domain, can be called the first Han minister. It's just that although Xinjiang is peaceful, it is still not very good in the end, and he is still ordered to serve as the governor of Xinjiang, and only orders the army of the twelve towns to return to the dynasty in triumph.

The chief eunuch said yes, and then said: "I have ordered the imperial dining room, and all the new pots are used today, but I heard that they don't drink alcohol. ”

"It's already benevolent and righteous to not serve pork dishes," the official waved his hand indifferently, "I already take care of him very much, if he doesn't drink, if he doesn't drink, just let it go." This time the emperor is here in person, the minister of military aircraft is coming, and the secretary of the academy of science and education is also coming, almost half of the court, our own meritorious ministers should take care of it more, this Kokand lord, hehe, maybe what will happen. ”

"Isn't it possible to abolish Kokand?" The eunuch wondered.

"That's not going to happen, I personally offered Agu Bai into Beijing, how much I can't do it, this ceremony is there, but it is inevitable to beat it." Speaking of which, Honglu Temple Qing Hui Zheng arrived, several stewards and eunuchs and officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stepped forward to greet him, although Hui Zheng's official position is not obvious, but the father of the Queen Mother, the maternal grandfather of the current saint, is a genuine national abbot, he has always been gentle, so everyone is willing to respect him, Hui Zheng went to the cabinet, arranged, asked a few more times, nodded, "It's almost time, let's go out and wait." ”

The lord of Kokand hurriedly stood up again, stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted yes, and said a basket of compliments, and the emperor just listened with a smile, waved his hand, and invited the lord of Kokand to sit down, "Let's have a feast." ”

After three rounds of drinking, the dishes were almost served, the emperor was also a little tired, and the people inside were a little restrained, so they stood up and asked everyone to continue, and they returned to the palace first, everyone stood up and prepared to send off the emperor, the emperor walked out of the throne, walked to Wu Yundi, and said with a smile: "Uncle is in good health?" I heard that there was a serious illness in the Turghut tribe. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minion's body is all right." Wu Yundi replied.

"That's good," the emperor said with a smile, Gui Xiang followed behind and said to Wu Yundi, "Brother-in-law has been alone for too long, and now he has come back victorious," Emperor Guixiang's face, "It's time to marry another wife and start a family."
