"In the future, this country will be handed over to the emperor, so don't you want to make a lot of effort?" The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Prince Alcohol and said, "You also know that these Eight Banners are useless now, and there are many drawbacks, not to mention anything else, when Emperor Wenzong was in the past, even Lu rice was released, and over the years, it was only because of the opening of foreign affairs and factories that the silver like sea water was brought in, and the Lu rice of the Eight Banners, the dignity of these princes Beizi Baylor was barely preserved, but what if it happened in the future?" In the future, if there is no silver, what should these people do, it is better to take advantage of the current hair and solve it together," the Empress Dowager Cixi drank a cup of tea, "You are young now, and you have helped the emperor to send it away, and the emperor can be a peaceful son in the future." ”

"Don't spare your life, your sixth brother is good at everything, but he cherishes his reputation too much," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, she looked at the thoughtful Prince Alcohol, "Moving forward bravely in everything is the duty of a minister, if you think about your own future and glory and wealth, then how to do state affairs?" In the past, I heard that the seventh master, your talent is almost inseparable from the former Prince Yixian Yunxiang, how does Prince Yixian act, do you want me to tell you? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi watched Prince Alcohol leave, and she let out a long breath, thinking of the scene where she and King Gao had discussed this matter in secret before.

"Are they going to make trouble? What's the trouble? Empress Dowager Cixi sneered, "Now the soldiers are in my hands, and the guns are also in my hands, if you dare to make trouble, just like in the past, you will be killed directly." ”

The Queen Mother said very domineeringly, but King Gao and the two of them had been serving the Queen Mother for a long time, how could they not know that this was just an angry talk, Gao Xinkui shook his head, "Now it is not the scene of the past, they are just sitting in front of the Zongren Mansion, and they don't even beat and scold." Xisheng Bingzheng, you can't kill them all, if you sweep away the clan and others, don't dare to speak on the surface, and make trouble in secret, we can't prevent it. ”

"I'm just talking. They don't learn to rebel and others, they don't mess with the rules, how can I mess with the rules, if this governance can be done by killing people, then how can there be so many kings who have lost the country? Emperor Chongzhen killed not a small number of people, and when he arrived, he didn't hang himself on the coal mountain. Empress Dowager Cixi smiled bitterly, "This matter can't be underestimated, I originally wanted to blow this matter up." But now is not the time, we are not ready, now it has really become a sandwich rice, what is the news outside? Empress Dowager Cixi asked Li Lianying.

"In addition to the content added by the tall man, I don't know the rumors circulating there, except for the three flags, the rest are all expelled from the flag, except for the adult men. The women and children did not give out rice, and some said that they would drive out all the people of the Eight Banners. rushed to his hometown in the northeast to eat ice and drink snow, and even worse, said that the imperial court was ready to collect them and send them to Vietnam to fight the French"

The Queen Mother laughed angrily, "What kind of ghost are these?" Whenever they are useful, I am willing to give them the opportunity to fight the French. When the time comes, they will give any title as long as they are enough. It's a pity, I have an official hat in my hand, and the red and yellow belts are so useless," the Empress Dowager Cixi gritted her teeth. "I'll make a scene for me in these places, and if I could, I would like them to go to Vietnam and die."

"Queen Mother, this is not a trivial matter," Gao Xinkui said worriedly, "This strange thing came out, it means that someone is pushing the flames outside, and they want this matter to look good, if the matter of the Eight Banners is blocked, it will be difficult to mention this matter for the third time in the future." ”

"It's okay for the people of the clan, why did these officials of the Eight Banners also come out?" The Empress Dowager Cixi said suspiciously, "I used to run the Eight Banners Official School, and the children of the learned Banner people were on errands and joined the army, these are all people who took care of the Eight Banners, why are there still people who are dissatisfied?" ”

"These of the Eight Banners are all in charge, and they are all fattened up by eating the income of Lu Rice, and the Eight Banners have reforms, and they are the first to be damaged," Gao Xinkui said, the reason is also simple, the Lu rice silver issued by these Eight Banners is like the military salary deducted in the army in the past, and there has always been a part of the loss and discount for the officials of these Eight Banners to share, although it is not much, but it is better in the long run, and it is taken for nothing, without wasting a little effort, "They are naturally going to make trouble." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Then there are still people instigating it." ”

"Not to mention who this person is, why do you want to block the reform of the Eight Banners, it's just that the appearance of the king of Yizheng is worrying, and his attitude is still not clear," Wang Kaiyun said, "But where the reform is so difficult, the most important thing in the center is to need an iron-fisted figure to implement, and he will not hesitate to help Xisheng bear all the infamy and sewage is, Prince Gong cherishes his feathers, and is only willing to be a virtuous king, not a sinner's prince, such a person in the center, but not good." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi's face sank, "This is a little farther, right?" ”

"Not far, the seventh master is not the minister of military aircraft, Chongqi is not convinced, Zai Ling's foundation is unstable, no one can make a decision, Zuo Zhongtang originally made it, but unfortunately it is not in the flag, this position is not enough, is it possible to ask Xisheng to come out in person for everything?"

The Queen Mother was silent, "I know, this is not busy, it is only right to invite those masters outside the Zongren Mansion back first, who will go?" ”

Wang Kaiyun saw the attitude of the Empress Dowager Cixi and was silent, "If you don't bother the two masters, it still has to fall on the head of Prince Alcohol," Gao Xinkui continued, "As long as the Queen Mother knows the benefits, Prince Alcohol will definitely take care of this matter, maybe this matter will not be a bad thing now." ”

"Although we are not ready, the people outside are not ready, it is nothing more than blocking the door, if you don't care about your face, then let them feel free, now the more powerful the rumors spread, the more outrageous, in the future we will come up with the real plan, they will feel that it will be acceptable, so that the resistance will be much less."

"That's right, then call the seventh master first!" The Empress Dowager Cixi instructed Li Lianying, and Li Lianying, who had been in the hall without speaking, answered, turned around and went out, "In this case, simply write all the rumors outside, uncle, be quick, and come out with a new plan tomorrow for everyone to see!" Hehe, they're happy to do this, I'll write it out and ask them to take a look," Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Do I dare or not." (To be continued.) )
