Chapter 278: Supervising the Imperial History
Yangxin Palace, the top of the glazed tile, the dragon head on the spine and the eaves of the temple, the squatting beast, the throne in the middle, there is a huge plaque hanging, and the four big characters of "Zhongzheng Renhe" are very eye-catching. The top of the hall lies on the dragon of the dragon, holding the Xuanyuan mirror mercury beads, the sandalwood in the hall is bursting, and the smoke is rich.
Emperor Xianfeng is now meeting the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Yangxin Palace, where it is convenient to live and the distance to come and go is also short, compared with the huge Qianqing Palace, it is much more comfortable and convenient.
Prince Gong stood at the bottom of Emperor Xianfeng's throne, looking very deferential, bowing his head and holding his breath.
"Do you recommend Chang Shan, the new champion of science and technology, to go to the front line of bandits?" Xianfeng glanced at Prince Gong's excerpt.
"Yes, this Changshan is not only good at kung fu, but also very proper, supervising the transportation of military rations in Shanghai and saving a group of Shanghai officials and two foreigners, it can be seen that he is brave and strategic, such a talented young man should give him the opportunity to go to the front line to hone his skills, and he will serve better for our Qing Dynasty in the future." Prince Gong hurriedly asked.
"Holy Lord, by all means, this Changshan is a member of the monk's army, and the monk's iron horse is the guarantee of our Jingshi, and you can't move it until you have to, your majesty!" Su Shun hurriedly stopped, he thought to himself: The situation on this front line has just improved, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army has reached the counteroffensive stage, what does it mean to parachute one to pick peaches at this time? Prince Gong has always been at odds with him, and he must not be well-intentioned, and he must not be allowed to succeed.
Emperor Xianfeng thought of the situation when the Northern Expeditionary Army that sent bandits hit the door of his house a few years ago, and said with palpitations: "Prince Gong, Su Aiqing is right, the monk king is the last barrier in my Kyoto, and this matter cannot be rash. ”
Of course, Prince Gong knew that it would be difficult to let Yang Xiaoshan lead troops to the front line, but first, Yang Xiaoshan actively applied to go to the front line here, and secondly, he had to quickly promote Yang Xiaoshan, and it was the fastest to make military exploits on the battlefield of bandits.
"Shengshang, this Hunan army of more than 100,000 people is the private army of the Zeng State Domain, and the military salary is still raised by him, in case he unites with the bandits, what can we do?" Prince Gong knew that Zeng Guofan was Su Shun's person, he glanced at Su Shun, and thought to himself: If you don't let my people go, I will attack your people.
"Your Majesty, Zeng Guofan, you have seen it. He was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he had just taken Wuchang, Hubei a few days ago, how could he unite with the bandits? It's so wronged. Su Shun hurriedly defended Zeng Guofan, he was afraid of Xianfeng's suspicion, if Xianfeng suspected Zeng Guofan, he would definitely suspect himself, so he must keep Zeng Guofan.
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, he is a Hanchen, so you trust him so much?" Prince Gong immediately retorted.
"You! You...... Bloody mouth! Su Shun was so angry that he stammered a little.
"Okay, okay, you are all the people I trust the most, Zeng Guofan I believe it, Chang Shan is a good young man, and he is the beloved son-in-law of the monk king, I can also trust it, and it is also a good thing to go to exercise." Xianfeng was troubled by their quarrels, and now his spirit is getting worse and worse than in previous years, and when he encounters troubles, his head hurts badly.
Su Shun and Prince Gong Yi? Hearing Xianfeng's words, he finally stopped arguing and stood on both sides, waiting for Xianfeng's will.
"In this way, I appointed Chang Shan as the superintendent of the imperial history of the five provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Suzhou, to see if there were any violations of law and discipline over there, and gave him the right to do things. What do you think? Xianfeng thought of a compromise solution, if the troops are not adjusted, people can go.
Prince Gong is very satisfied, there is still a risk in leading troops to defeat the battle, this supervision of the imperial history is much safer, just find fault with others, he is not responsible, and the credit cannot be lost, it is indeed a good official position. So he didn't speak.
Su Shun thought about it and was not at ease, so he asked: "Holy Lord, may I also ask how many products are set for the supervision of the imperial history of these five provinces?" "The supervision of the imperial history of these five provinces is an official temporarily arranged by Xianfeng, which can be big or small, so Su Shun asked more. If it is too big, you will definitely oppose it.
"From the third grade, I remember that he served as the commander of the guard army in the monk army, and he also came from the third grade, and this time it belongs to the flat adjustment." Xianfeng thought about it and said, young people can't be promoted too quickly, and whether they can be promoted again depends on his performance.
Su Shun knew that if he stopped it again, Xianfeng would probably be suspicious of himself, and he wouldn't even be able to arrange a supervisor, which was unreasonable. Fortunately, the official position of Cong Sanpin is not very high, and it should not hinder Zeng Guofan's military affairs. So he finally nodded in agreement: "Holy Wisdom! ”
"Prince Gong, do you have any other opinions?" Xianfeng saw that Su Shun had nodded in agreement, and turned his face to look at Prince Gong again.
Prince Gong pondered that although this official position was only from the third grade, he had the right to do things, which was equivalent to directly submitting a letter to the emperor, which would also work. What's more, Yang Xiaoshan is so young, and before he has greater credit, he is almost the limit from the third grade.
So he also nodded and said, "The emperor's holy judgment." ”
Seeing that the two of them had no opinions, Xianfeng felt tiredness welling up in his heart, and waved his hand at them: "I'm tired, you should retreat first." ”
Wait until Prince Gong? , Su Shun left, the imperial eunuch An Dehai knew Xianfeng's thoughts, and hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor and said: "Miss Peony Spring is waiting outside, do you want her to come in and sing a few songs to the emperor to relieve her fatigue?" ”
Peony Chun is a Suzhou beauty, who can sing and dance, and is very charming. After Xianfeng neglected his government, the sharp-eyed people below of course voted for him, bought such a beauty in a brothel in Suzhou, and dedicated it to Xianfeng as a "golden silk bird" to raise.
Although Xianfeng likes to watch plays, it is impossible for the opera troupe in the capital to enter the Forbidden City at any time for Xianfeng to have fun.
Xianfeng also likes women, but after all, the harem concubines are all serious daughters of official eunuchs, unlike these "canaries" who can deliberately welcome men and say some cheap words to please the emperor.
These wild and unruly "canaries" make him feel extraordinarily good, so whenever he is free, let them come out and play at any time to experience the fun of life. In addition to this peony spring, there are also apricot blossom spring, Wuling spring, and begonia spring, a total of four spring girls can be pampered by him at any time.
Of course, some upright ministers have advised Xianfeng, but Xianfeng is left ear in and right ear out, and when the trouble is big, Sichun will be sent to the Old Summer Palace to hide, and the wind is small, and it is unscrupulous.
Of course, Xianfeng knew that it was not a good thing for him to be so lustful, but he gave up on himself, and no matter how much others persuaded him, it was useless. The emperor himself is like this, and many officials below are also crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom, if it weren't for the support of Han people like Zeng Guofan, it would have been over early in the morning.
