The rules are like this, this "door bag" can't be left ungiven; Give it, the big guy can't give less. Many officials went to Prince Gong's Mansion to do official business, and their own yamen did not have a budget to reimburse the cost of "door bags".

Therefore, the "door bag" of Prince Gong's Mansion has long been annoyed by middle and lower-level officials, but King Gong himself has no feelings about it.

The decimal is afraid of the long plan, Cai Shouqi calculated an account, and went to Prince Gong's mansion every day to "submit books, do things, and ask questions", "less than tens, more than 100", 365 days a year, three years down, "one person bribed 20 taels of silver, which is a million dollars, which is really appalling!" ”

This number really scared the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

All this silver was harvested in broad daylight; Privately collected, I don't know how many more are there?

Cai Shouqi wrote, "Or the Yungong Palace's expenses are huge, and it has to be done as a last resort", so where is all this money spent? If it is all spent on ushering in and sending in, subsidizing poor officials, rewarding eunuchs who carry the decree, and so on, "there is still something to be forgiving." What is the truth?

Cai Shouqi talked about two things.

The first thing is that King Gong repaired another mansion in Xiaofengxiang Hutong next to Houhu Lake, called "Jianyuan".

The construction of this garden is extremely ingenious, the second courtyard begins, the labor is innumerable, the foundation is artificially raised, the foundation of each courtyard is higher than the foundation of the previous courtyard, resulting in the effect of layer by layer "high", the house that enters the courtyard after the most is higher than the back wall.

The interior is all decorated with nanmu, and the intervals are covered with flower covers and railings. In the master's bedroom, there is a large wooden bed covered with floor-to-ceiling. It is inlaid with a glass mirror that is the size of the wall. Due to the high cushioning of the floor foundation. Therefore, not only the garden. The Houhai on the edge of the garden, the lake and the mountains, are also in the mirror.

The name "Jianyuan" comes from this.

The second thing is how to "pay attention" to the shark fin in the kitchen of Prince Gong's Mansion.

The chef of Prince Gong's Mansion sends shark fins, dried fins without water bubbles, wraps them in baskets with net oil, and steames them thoroughly. Then with many fat chickens, two or three years of "old legs", spend a few days of effort, simmer into a cup.

In short, "the poor are extremely luxurious".

The details of these two things were provided by Kwan Zhuofan.

Jianyuan is famous, but what is inside, how can Cai Shouqi know the Tao? Guan Zhuofan knew the Tao, because he had gone in the original time and space.

As for the shark fin in Prince Gong's Mansion, of course, it looks like it is in the history books.

These two things stimulated the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces even more than the "millions".

Because there is no such mirror in the palace, including the palace of Rehe; There are countless jade foods above. They had never eaten shark fin so exquisitely.

Cixi remembered something. Prince Gong was originally "appreciating the princes", but King Gong resigned. I thought he was "humble". In fact, 10,000 taels of silver a year, where is it in the eyes of others; resigned, and got a good reputation.

After talking about "greedy ink" and "arrogant", in this regard, King Gong's braids are too much, and they can be grabbed at will.

What intercepted the Queen Mother's words, and spoke first; What a loud defense; What deliberately pretended not to hear the Queen Mother's speech, and was silent; When there was a summons, the eunuch had not finished registering, and before the order of "come in" had been given, he opened the curtain and entered the house.

Every sentence entered Cixi's heart.

Even the "unauthorized use of Ocha" is among them.

Ci'an was deeply shocked: "Even this kind of thing is known outside? ”

Cixi sneered and said, "How can there be an impermeable wall under the sky? The sixth child's tail is so high, who can't see it? ”

Well, "this kind of thing" is lying on the big bed in the west wing of the inner courtyard of the Yiyong and Loyal Beizi Mansion, curled up in Guan Beizi's broad arms, and "through" the lure.

Most of King Gong's "arrogant" deeds are indistinguishable in front of everyone, any one of them is considered "no courtesy", and if you go online, it is "disrespectful".

From "arrogance" to "power".

King Gong is high-spirited and courageous, and there are even more examples of this.

The Military Aircraft Department is the administrative center of the state, but this "center" is only "de facto"; In terms of rituals, the Military Aircraft Department "is only for the transmission and compilation, and cannot be slightly praised and painted during the period", that is, the Military Aircraft Department is essentially a secretarial body of the emperor, and all decisions must be made by the emperor with the permission of the emperor, and they cannot make any decisions alone when they are issued in the name of the edict.

In fact, of course, this is not exactly the case, many things that are not so important, King Gong and the following just said hello, and did not go through this procedure of the queen mother of the two palaces.

Therefore, these things can be regarded as both "taking power" and "unauthorized power", so they are also regarded as "arrogant".

Cixi said: "Sister, look at how many things the sixth brother has done behind our sisters' backs!" Also, take a look, is there any yamen he doesn't interfere with? ”

Ci'an sighed, silently.

As for "favoritism", as long as a newly appointed official has a close relationship with King Gong before, they can be brought in, so there are many cases. But Cai Shouqi didn't play this point much, hurriedly said a few words, and stopped at the point.

Because Guan Zhuofan's target is only King Gong, he doesn't want to expand the attack area for the time being.

Originally, Cai Shouqi also wanted to add "forming a party".

"Forming a party" is a standard routine for attacking political opponents in ancient Chinese political struggles, and its effectiveness is second only to "rebellion", because it is the most taboo for the monarch. With the "party aid" of the ministers, they will have the capital to fight against the emperor, and there will be the possibility of "corrupting the majority", and it will be possible to "disrupt the government", "usurp power", and even "rebel".

But Guan Zhuofan didn't agree, the reason was still the previous one, he didn't want to expand the attack area for the time being. Not only that, but we must also strive to build a "united front."

Anyway, King Gong has enough handles.

Guan Zhuofan does not have his own team in the court now. One is that someone always has to do the work, a good man still has three gangs, he doesn't have three heads and six arms, and many things have to rely on the old people to do. One is that if the strike surface is too wide, it will cause too strong a rebound, and you have just taken the position, the foundation is not stable, and it is easy to lose your foothold; Even if you can really stand firm, it will involve too much energy, after all, the next most important task is to start construction.

After all, it's not time to go on a killing spree.

If the trick of "forming a party" is played, the core members of the "Gong faction", such as Wen Xiang, Baojun, and Cao Yuying, will inevitably be involved, and they will bear the brunt. Bao Jun is fine, anyway, it is a person who Guan Zhuofan will have to clean up sooner or later; But Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying, Guan Zhuofan wants to "fight".

Cao Yuying needless to say, Guan Zhuofan is sure that he will fall to himself and become a very valuable thinker; Wen Xiang will definitely not betray King Gong, but I didn't ask you to betray your friends, I asked you to do things for the country.

Wen Xiang was responsible, knowledgeable, capable, and ethical, and was a very rare sage among the banner people at that time. Guan Zhuofan thought that if he wanted to "rank", among the banner people at that time, Wen Xiang should be in the first place, even surpassing King Gong.

There is also a very rare point, Wen Xiang is a person who "opens his eyes to see the world", and Guan Zhuofan is deeply impressed by his "Secret Chen Da Plan" in the original time and space.

One of the paragraphs: "The speaker is said to be close to dogs and sheep in various countries, and the politics are unknown." However, if there is an occasional action in his country, it will be submitted by the lord of his country to the House of Lords, and the so-called conspirators and ministers will also be; Pay it to the House of Commons, and the so-called conspiration and the people are also. If it is feasible, it will be done, otherwise it will be stopped. Everything will be in accordance with the people's feelings, and then it will be done. Knowing that one country is like this, it is also the one who looks at the success or failure of other countries. ”

Wen Xiang also admitted that "China's Tianze is strictly divided, and it is difficult to do things with the establishment of foreign upper houses and lower houses", but "righteousness can be taken".

It was the first year of Guangxu in the original time and space, that is, in 1875, only ten years ago.

Guan Zhuofan has the impression that this is the first time that China's top leadership has discussed the parliamentary democratic system, and has given a positive evaluation, believing that "righteousness can be adopted".

It's rare.

Also, Wen Xiang and Guan Zhuofan's "self" are the same, both have the surname Guerjia, and our brothers are our own people.

This person still has to find a way to put it in his sleeve.

Cai Shouqi began to wrap up, he wrote: "The power of the court of the husband and the widower should always be in accordance with the name and the truth, so as not to reverse right and wrong." Otherwise, the famous weapon is not expensive, how can the discipline be vibrate? Why should the court be respected? The ministers do not avoid resentment, are not afraid of punishment, risk death to speak out, and beg the Empress Dowager to meet the ministers to Gong Prince Gong. ”
