Chapter 257: The First Commandment in the World
The military plane "called", and Li Hongzhang and Ruilin's excerpts were naturally sent.
Ruilin's excerpt is not enough, but Li Hongzhang's excerpt is extremely dangerous. A few of the sentences, the four big military aircraft, are all impressed.
Li Hongzhang said that Prince Xuan's "Sheji Great Wall" -- to praise someone's important role in the country, generally uses the word "Sheji Gancheng", and the term "Sheji Great Wall" is the first time that the four big military planes have seen it, but this is by no means a clerical error by Li Shaoquan Mubin, because, the next thing is-
"Once the king is gone, all the nations will destroy the Great Wall and withdraw the fence with me, then today's friends and tomorrow's enemies will be transposed, foreign insults will arise one after another, and there will be no one to defend them!"
This is to use foreigners to scare the "superiors", but although it is pretended to be alarmist, in a sense, it is also a fact - Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, only Prince Xuan is the only one, who has a long face in the foreigners; Our "friends", whether it is the United States of America with a "blood alliance", or England and Prussia with interests and interests, there is only one Prince Xuan that is really valued.
If Prince Xuan is removed from the throne, it is very likely that the Taixi countries will believe that the Chinese government's policy of internal reform and opening up to the outside world has undergone major changes, and that "today's friendly countries" may not be "tomorrow's enemy countries", and that "enmity and enmity will be transposed, and foreign insults will arise one after another". And in addition to the "king", it is indeed "irrepressible".
However, the Queen Mother didn't look frightened, her expression was quite excited: "Li Hongzhang and Ruilin are sensible - you see, justice is in the hearts of the people!" β
Belch...... So that's what you thought.
The thoughts of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother cannot be wrong, but the thoughts of several big military machines are more far-reaching.
"Queen Mother and Queen Mother Shengming!"
Wen Xiang first praised a saint, and then said: "Some words, as a minister, are suspected of trespassing, uh, I don't know...... Should I say it? β
Ci'an heard it, and these people below actually didn't think that their words were "holy", and said with a smile: "Say! Where are there so many taboos? β
"Yes."
After a pause, Wen Xiang said: "Prince Xuan's 'self-invitation to retreat to the domain' was derived from the dispute between the heir emperor, and the dispute between the heir emperor, there is a saying in the market that it should be regarded as Ai Xinjue Luo's 'housework'. β
"Oh? Aixinjue Roche ...... 'housework'? β
"Yes," Wen Xiang said, "Although this statement is a little too slangy, the ministers think that it is actually clear and transparent, and it is quite desirable." Jiangshan Sheji, Aixinjue Luo's Jiangshan Sheji, who belongs to the big position, is not the subordinate's disagreement. β
After a slight pause, "What's more important is that if the dispute between the heir and the emperor is regarded as Ai Xinjue Luo's 'troubles', then no matter who the heir emperor belongs to in the end, the turmoil will not be in the court, no matter how bad the 'trouble' is, the impact on the country will be limited, no matter what, it will not hurt the vitality." β
"This ......"
"The minister asked the Empress Dowager to think about the situation of the Xinyou coup," Wen Xiang continued, "Of course, the Xinyou coup d'Γ©tat of the past and the heir of the emperor today are not the same thing. β
Ci'an understood: "Ah, Li Hongzhang and Ruilin are both local governors!" This thing, tossing and turning, pulling them in, this mess...... But it's going to be a big fuss! β
"Yes, Queen Mother Mingjian."
At this point, Ci'an became nervous: "Then, what should I do?" Uh, put these two folds...... Drowned? β
After the dispute between the heirs and the emperor, when the monarchs and ministers played right, the queen mother and the queen mother had a lot of impressive remarks, and the "stupid" queen mother and queen mother seemed to be gone forever, but this "drowned" made the queen mother and queen mother in her original form - the fold of the superintendent is such an important fold, how dare she "drown"? What will the people who have excerpts think? Besides, it's not ...... Do you cover your ears and steal the bell?
Also, since these two excerpts have been sent down and entered the stage of military aircraft discussion, they disagreed with each other, and then took them back, pretending that I had never issued them?
The Queen Mother is really witty.
"After returning to the queen mother," Wen Xiang said, "If you 'stay in the middle', Li Hongzhang and Ruilin will inevitably have ideas, which is not very appropriate." β
"Huh? Ah, yes, yes! That ......"
"These two copies," Wen Xiang said, "I still ask the Queen Mother to send it down, and the ministers will consider the reply, and they will not be annoyed, but only say, 'The imperial court has even cooled down the decree, and the edict is earnestly announced, urging Prince Xuan to cancel the fake and enter the straight, and Yi and the others do not need to worry', Yunyun." β
"Ah, good!" Ci'an said, "In this way, people's hearts will ...... Settled. β
This sentence was to the point, and the four big military planes said in unison: "Queen Mother and Queen Mother Shengming!" β
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian," Cao Yuying said, "such a restatement is only an expedient measure, if Prince Xuan does not cancel the leave for a long time, but in a few days, the rumors will inevitably rise again, and it will become more and more intense, so that the people of the world will be uneasy, and it will be a plan to draw wages for the bottom of the kettle......"
"Yes, yes!" This time, Ci'an's reaction was very fast, and even interrupted Cao Yuying's words, "The key is that 'he' has to come back quickly - as soon as 'he' comes back, there will be no more 'floating words'!" β
After a pause, "Well, a few of you in a while, let's hurry up to the north side street of Chaonei!" I won't read those two things -- the document of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the note to Russia, I won't read them -- I can't understand them anyway, and it's a waste of time! He said yes, and that's it! β
Belch......
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Empress Dowager," Wen Xiang said, "there is a matter for the ministers to ask for a decree and to be implemented in front of Prince Xuan. β
"What's the matter?"
"Emperor Daxing's temple name and nickname," Wen Xiang said, "since it has been decided, please make it public to the world as soon as possible." β
Ci'an didn't realize what Emperor Daxing's temple name and nickname "Public to the World" meant, and said: "Okay, when is 'Mingfa', you and him will be fine." β
Well, obviously, the Queen Mother has not yet understood the deep meaning.
Wen Xiang first said "yes", and then said: "After returning to the queen mother, the temple number of the Daxing Emperor, once it is released, it is said that the Daxing Emperor can be enshrined in the Taimiao; The name Mingfa means that the coffin of the Emperor Daxing has been concluded, and the temple and the public are all over the world, that is, the world: the inheritance of the great unification has been completed. β
Ci'an stayed for a while, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but let out an "ah".
"You mean, the Emperor ......"
"Yes," Wen Xiang said solemnly, "At that time, the destiny of heaven should have returned. β
"The ministers are all based on Wenxiang's words!" Cao Yuying, Xu Gengshen, and Guo Songtao said in unison, "Queen Mother Jiana!" β
Ci'an was awakened by Cao, Xu, and Guo's words, and let out a soft "ah" - she understood another layer of deep meaning of what Wen Xiang said.
The reaction was the same as that of Cao, Xu, and Guo, Ci'an's whole face seemed to glow, and she looked at Wen Xiang with great relief: "Okay, I understand-let's do it!" β
"Yes!" The four big military planes said in unison, "Obey the decree of the Queen Mother!" β

When he returned to the Military Aircraft Department, he first drafted a reply to Li Hongzhang and Ruilin -- this was a "court mail" sent directly to the governor, without going through the cabinet. After the draft was presented to the Empress Dowager for a royal review, it was sealed with silver from the Military Aircraft Department and handed over to the Ministry of War for delivery.
On top of the official document, the words "600 li" -- this originally referred to the daily itinerary, and there were several names: "400 li", "500 li", "600 li", "600 li", and "800 li".
However, whether it is Wuhan or Guangzhou, they have now been telegraphed, and the name of this daily itinerary is actually meaningless for Wuhan and Guangzhou. However, this "daily itinerary" could not be abolished for a considerable period of time, because there were still many places where there was no telegraph, and official documents sent to these places still had to be delivered by stagecoach.
Thus, for places where telegraphs have been transmitted, "four hundred li", "five hundred li", "six hundred li", "six hundred li intensified", and "eight hundred li intensified" evolved into a kind of identification indicating the importance of official documents.
"600 li to step up" and "800 li to step up" were only used when the military situation was urgent, and the "600 li" issued to Li Hongzhang and Ruilin was regarded as the highest class at the time of Chengping.
After handling two court mails, the four big military planes immediately left the palace and came to the north side street.
Unexpectedly, he rushed to Prince Xuan's mansion, but he ate a closed door.
It's not that Prince Xuan "doesn't accept", but ...... Well, he's not at home.
The "door" of King Xuan's mansion said like this: "Back to the words of the lords, the prince is not in the mansion, early this morning, before dawn - that is, when the city gate has just been opened, the prince will go out." β
The four big military planes were stunned together.
"Did the prince say where to go?"
"Yes, go to Xishan-the prince said, go there to breathe."
Breathable?
"Nishiyama? Did the prince explain, is he just strolling around, or is he ...... What exactly? β
"Well, that's not a good thing to say......"
After a pause, "Oh, the prince seems to have mentioned that he wants to go to the Jietai Temple to have a look." β
Jietai Temple?
"Did the prince say when he would come back?"
"Not really, but ...... Well, I didn't say I was going to spend the night in the West Hill - I guess I should have come back before the gates closed, right? β
Do you want to? Hum.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want this...... Tea inside? β
"No need."
Several large military planes walked away a few steps and gathered together, and they had to quickly decide: should they go back to the palace to resume their lives, or should they also rush to Xishan?
This time, it was the letter of the army of the Western Expedition and the note to the Russian State, asking Prince Xuan to look at it, not the identity of the messenger who passed the decree - if he came to deliver the decree, he could chase it all the way to the Xishan Jietai Temple; Or just wait in Prince Xuan's mansion and send someone to call Prince Xuan back to listen to the order.
Of course, when the monarchs and ministers played the right thing before, there was also a saying of "asking for a decree", but the reason for the "request" was to make the temple number and nickname of Emperor Daxing public to the world as soon as possible, and it did not directly involve Prince Xuan; The announcement of the Daxing Emperor's temple and the matter of the Emperor Xuan was naturally to be reported to Prince Xuan, and he presided over it, but the way of the notification was to be "face-to-face" by the Minister of Military Aircraft, not to issue an edict, not even a "verbal message".
Alas, what a thought.
What now?
The letters of the Western Expeditionary Army and the notes to the Russian State are all diplomatic folding, not military arrangements, no matter how important they are, they will not fight for half a day or a day; The announcement of the temple number and nickname of the Daxing Emperor is even more so, there is no reason to say that the "Daxing Emperor" is half a day late and a day to be "Emperor Mu Zongyi", and whose eyebrows will be burned.
Therefore, there is really not enough reason to follow Prince Xuan's ass and chase him to Xishan.
Guo Songtao frowned and said, "Jietai Temple...... What kind of name is it? β
"This place," Wen Xiang said, "I have been to it once, in fact, it should be called 'Jietan Temple' - the plaque on the mountain gate is the three words 'Jietan Temple', and the people call it 'Jietai Temple' by false rumors." β
After a pause, "The ordination altar in the temple is known as 'the first precept altar in the world'." -- Hence the name of the temple. β
"'The world's first altar'?" Guo Songtao said, "The tone is not small. β
Wen Xiang smiled, "It's not a pretense. This ring altar, as high as Zhangxu, is built with white marble, the carving is complicated, and it is extremely gorgeous. There are one hundred and thirteen ring gods carved on the altar body, each of which is more than a foot high, and the postures are different, which is indeed enough to dazzle people's eyes. β
After a pause, "This precept altar, together with Hangzhou Zhaoqing Temple and Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple, is called the three major precept altars, and among the three, the Jietai Temple is the first, so it has such a name of 'the world's first precept altar'." β
After another pause, "Oh, I still remember, in front of the altar, there are ten carved wooden chairs, and I asked the host, what is this?" He replied that this was the seat of the 'Three Masters and Seven Certificates' when the bhikshu received full ordination. β
The last paragraph is purely an objective description and has no deep meaning, but Cao, Xu, and Guo, listening to it, were inexplicable, and their expressions changed slightly.
Wen Xiang noticed the abnormality of his colleagues, and he immediately thought of something, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.
Cao Yuying groaned and said: "I look at the Xuan Mansion, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism - uh, no, it is the two religions of Confucianism and Taoism, all of which are ...... If you don't think so, how can you be interested in a place like 'Jietai Temple'? β
In fact, Prince Xuan is indeed "in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, all of which are not very opinionated", at this level, not only Cao Yuying, Wen, Xu, and Guo also know it, but thinking that Xuan Di, has never "gone to school", and the tricks and tricks are all Western, and they don't look down on Confucianism, and they are not very strange.
However, as the prince of the country and the leader of the cardinal, he could not openly "disagree" with Confucianism, so Cao Yuying changed his words in time and excluded Confucianism from Prince Xuan's "disapproval".
As for the real reason why Prince Xuan "disagreed" with Confucianism, the four big military planes couldn't even think of when they broke their heads.
Xu Gengshen lowered his voice slightly: "When Gong Di stayed in Biyun Temple, there were more than Fengxiang Hutong and Jianyuan; Now, Xuan Di is running to Jietai Temple again, these two brothers ......"
Wen, Cao, and Guo looked at each other.
