Guo Xing'a thought that something had happened to the purchase of warships, but he didn't know that something had happened in the entire Qing Dynasty. After Yixin and Guo Xing'a talked, they hurriedly went to the palace and reported the relevant situation to the queen mother of the two palaces, but the queen of the two palaces did not even have the slightest sense of excitement. The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces was not worried that Guo Xing'a would exchange water on the warship, but felt that it was useless to spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of ships. The territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, and the land has not yet figured it out! What are you doing in the water in a hurry?

Yi Xin squirted saliva for an afternoon, and only then did she tell the two widows about the importance of coastal defense, but the two palaces were still a little hesitant, and the final result was unclear. The idea of the two palaces is very simple, the foreign devils are strong and the guns are sharp, so let's not go to the sea to compete with them, isn't it good to wait for them on the shore? The local war is stable, and the Qing Dynasty has a lot of army, so why do you have to go to the sea!

Moreover, the two widows were very disgusted with war, and Xianfeng was forced to die by the war. Moreover, several major wars in the Qing Dynasty have caused very bad consequences, the Pingfa bandits fought a Zeng Guofan, the Second Opium War fought a Guoxing, the Pingwu army came out of Li Hongzhang, and the Dinghui rebellion made Zuo Zongtang bigger. As long as the Qing Dynasty encounters war, several military leaders will inevitably come out, which seriously threatens the stability of the imperial court. The two widows had managed to live a peaceful life for two days, but they didn't want to toss anymore.

The three uncles and sisters-in-law couldn't talk about the results, so they could only hand over the matter to the court and let the Manchu civil and military discuss this issue together. This is a very reliable method, if you can't talk about it in the secret room, everyone will vote democratically! But the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Yi Xin made a very serious mistake, and none of them thought to tell the little emperor of Tongzhi. The three of them all felt that Tongzhi had not officially been in charge of the government, and the government affairs entrusted to him were all for him to practice, and there was no need to inform him of this kind of major event. But Tongzhi, who had already tasted the taste of power, didn't think so at all, and his imperial power was violated again.

At noon on the second day, Yi Xin played the matter of his negotiation with Guoxinga in front of the Manchu civil and military officials, and asked the ministers of all ministries to discuss together. Wen Xiang, Bao Jun and others expressed their first attitude, they are all Yixin's party, and they are all supporters of the Westernization Movement, so they naturally agreed. Then there are the representatives of the Hunan and Huai systems in the DPRK, China, and China, who are all spokesmen of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, who operate local foreign affairs, and naturally agree with the purchase of warships. The Huai people are even more positive, Yi Xin has already said that he wants to put this water division in Tianjin, and now it is Li Hongzhang's territory, and this water division is too beneficial to Li Hongzhang.

The two waves of support have expressed their support, but those who oppose have not shown their heads for a long time. Yi Xun, who has been singing the opposite tune recently, seems to be an old monk who has settled down, and he didn't say a word. The bigwigs of the hawkish faction also hid themselves, and none of them came out to make trouble. He didn't support the purchase of warships, they were disgusted by it! As long as it's new, they hate it, let alone something like a steel warship that is clearly Western-style.

Just scolded Guo Xing in the court, but it is a very skillful thing, and if you don't play well, it is easy to burn yourself. In the eyes of hawks, the difference between Guo Xing'a and foreign devils is just a skin color, and there is basically no difference in others. But scolding Guo Xing'a, he can only say that he is a chaotic minister and thief, and it is absolutely impossible to say such things as disturbing the discipline and changing Xia with Yiyi. Because Guo Xing'a himself is a banner man, the place he occupies is the hometown of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the thieves under his command are also wearing the signboard of the Eight Banners. If Guoxing Aruo was a foreign Tatar to disturb China, how could the emperor and queen mother of the Qing Dynasty be counted! Do you want to scold Guo Xing'a, or do you simply target the Qing royal family! It is precisely because of this concern that the hawks have to keep silent on foreign affairs related to Goxinga.

"Sixth uncle, a few days ago, I said that I would rebuild the three mountains and five gardens, and Shen Huai, the imperial historian, said, "Today's affairs are difficult, and the enemy is in the country, that is, the treasury is overflowing, and it is not appropriate to discuss the cultivation." Yushi You Baichuan is even more sparse, and he said hundreds of words, so that the tiles on this house are about to fall. How do you have so much money to buy warships now? The ministers didn't object to it, but Emperor Tongzhi suddenly came to a sentence that was not yin or yang, no matter how you listened to it, it was a rhythm to find fault.

"Your Majesty, the project of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens is already being done!" Yi Xin was also helpless, this little emperor was crazy, staring at the three mountains and five gardens, which really gave him a headache. The Three Mountains and Five Gardens are a place of leisure and entertainment, how can its importance be compared with such a major event as the construction of the navy, Tongzhi is really too unholy.

"Didn't you stop the project by your own order?" Tongzhi was a little bit gritted his teeth, although there was already a displeased voice from the queen mother behind him, but he still bit the project of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens.

"After investigation, Li Guangzhao, the superintendent of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens Project, "floated" two taels of silver when purchasing timber and embezzled the project funds. It was found out that the "wood plant" run by Li Guangzhao for the Old Summer Palace was purchased from British and French businessmen, and the original price was more than 54,000 yuan in foreign silver, but when Li Guangzhao reported the cost of purchasing and transporting foreign wood to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he falsely claimed that it was worth as much as 300,000 taels of silver. Therefore, after the public discussion of various ministries, the project was suspended, and Li Guangzhao's embezzlement of ink and ink was investigated and punished. "Yixin hates Tongzhi to death, this little rabbit cub is getting more and more excessive.

There are some things, Yi Xin is not good to say in public, he stopped the project of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens, not only because of Li Guangzhao, but also because of Emperor Tongzhi. After the start of the project, Tongzhi frequently appeared at the construction site of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens, not only slacking off the government and studying, but also spending public funds to visit the mountains and rivers in the name of inspecting the project, and did not return at night. For staying overnight, it was inconvenient for the ministers to make it clear, so the attendants Xu Tong and Guangshou used the excuse of abnormal astrological signs, suggesting that the emperor should "live cautiously and strictly prohibit guards", but Tongzhi still turned a deaf ear. The co-rule of the high-spirited and matter-of-fact regarded state affairs as child's play and disregarded the fate of the dynasty made the ministers of the DPRK and China very worried. Yi Xin had a premonition of the seriousness of the situation, if it continued to develop, not only would it lead to the Tongzhi Emperor's political affairs becoming more serious and eventually out of control, but also the future of the dynasty would also fall into the bottomless pit of the Old Summer Palace project. Therefore, after Yixin communicated with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, she decisively stopped the project of the Three Mountains and Five Gardens, and wanted to bring Tongzhi back to the palace to calm down.

"Li Guangzhao is personally greedy and lawless, and he is done! Now that the treasury is sufficient, the project of the three mountains and five gardens should be restored as soon as possible! "Tongzhi is relatively strong, he didn't mention the warship, and he just wanted to resume work in Sanshan and Wuyuan.

Yi Xin couldn't breathe, she almost fainted, this little rabbit cub is really incorrigible, it's really unbearable. Yi Xin took out a note from his sleeve, which was jointly drafted by him and more than a dozen ministers such as Prince Yi Xun of alcohol, "Respect for Chen Xian Martyr Asking the Emperor to Resolve in Time to Use Hardships and Crises", citing the difficulties of the emperors since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, indicating that it is not easy to keep the success, and hope that Tongzhi can "fear the mandate of heaven", "obey the ancestral system", "be cautious in words and moves", "accept the admonition", "be diligent in learning", "heavy treasury", and persuade the Tongzhi Emperor to be a Ming monarch. There are more than ten people who have signed this fold, such as the former minister and the minister of military aircraft, Yi Xin didn't want to use it, so as not to cause the jealousy of the two palaces, but today he really can't scruple anymore.

Yi Xin took out a thick book, and Tongzhi had no choice but to open it to read and approve, but after reading a few lines, he found that it was all clichés, so he said impatiently: "Why should I stop working?" What are you talking about? "No one in the Manchu Dynasty thought that the emperor would come up with such a scoundrel.

"There are still many performances by the ministers, more than one stoppage, Rong Chen recites!" Yi Xin also fought today, took out the manuscript of the recital, read it one by one, and even explained the obscure words in some places, for fear that Tongzhi, who has a low level of education, would not understand.

"What does this make you like?" Tongzhi's scolded little face was flushed, and he jumped up and ran away.

The little emperor's words were too exciting, and the queen mother of the two palaces behind the curtain also jumped up. Wen Xiang began to howl when he lay on the ground, almost fainting from crying, how good it would be if this was true, happiness came too suddenly, Wen Xiang had to cover it up. Yi Xin also cried, he was a little far away from the throne, Tongzhi was really not as good as him to be the emperor. But there was no way, he could only continue to advise while crying, and at the same time complaining in his heart about his foolish father.

"The matter of the garden worker can be postponed and discussed, please don't play in the micro-service in the future!" If this matter continues to be argued, everyone will not be able to step down, and the warship matter can only be talked about later. Yi Xin directly made a trick and forced him to stop this quarrel according to Tongzhi's death hole. Tongzhi went out of the palace privately, and if he didn't return at night, he could definitely be killed directly.

"Who did you listen to? Where did you hear the rumors? Tongzhi shouted and asked, this time he was really anxious.

"On the eighth day of May in the ninth year of Tongzhi, split the wood alley, June 13 of the ninth year of Tongzhi, Mao'er Hutong ......" Yixin pointed out the time and place one by one, and Tongzhi was immediately speechless.

A court discussion about the purchase of warships finally turned into a confrontation between the uncle and nephew, and it could only end in absurdity. After returning to the palace, Cixi scolded Tongzhi bitterly, and Ci'an comforted Tongzhi for a long time with doting, and then there was no follow-up to the matter. Others can have no following, but Tongzhi can't have no following. Tongzhi was worried about being accused of "micro-service", and took the initiative to summon Yixin the next day. After meeting, I didn't ask a word about state affairs, but just asked where Yixin heard about "micro-service". Yi Xin was helpless when she was forced to ask, so she could only say "the courtiers are loaded" and sold herself as her own son.

Zai is Tongzhi's classmate, and he took Tongzhi on a micro-service trip, but he sold Tongzhi's teammate, and Tongzhi was naturally angry. In order to get out of this evil breath in his heart, Tongzhi made a very irrational behavior. As soon as Yi Xin left the palace on his front foot, Tongzhi issued an order to cut off the title of the hereditary prince of King Gong, and focused on his good buddy Zai.

The edict reads: "Since I have personally taken charge of government affairs, whenever I summoned Prince Gong, there have been many misunderstandings between words, and I have changed the hereditary replacement of the prince to the rank of prince of the county, and I am still walking on the minister of military aircraft, and I have taken the title of king of Baylor County to show punishment. ”

With this will, the court of the Qing Dynasty opened the pot again, and the little emperor of Tongzhi also opened his own violent mode.
