Because Yi Cheng was not put into practice, the rest of the people involved in the "exposing case" and the "poisoning case" did not go through the procedures of the three legal divisions such as the Criminal Department.

Lihai, transferred from the Zongren Mansion to the Prudential Punishment Division of the Internal Affairs Bureau, died with a rod.

Ao Bao, handed over to the Department of Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and died with a cane.

All the martial artists of the "Juxian Hall", those involved in the "exposing case", the commander of the Jiaobu Army, was hanged by the Yamen; The rest of the army flowed to Uriya Sutai.

There is another one, Dexinga.

Lihai's confession touched Dexing'a, saying that he had sent a small message to the king of the Virgin, saying how the Queen Mother and Guan Beile were, and the words were very unbearable. As a result, Dexing'a was regarded as the initiator of "insulting the holy virtue and spreading the fallacy", and Cixi hated this guy very much, and wanted his head to move.

However, on this issue, Guan Zhuofan has a different view.

Between the market, inside the Eight Banners, and even, in the private of the clan, there are thousands of people who say such "small words"? If I kill someone because of this matter, it will definitely make people's hearts blocked, which is not conducive to winning people's hearts. What's more, Guan Zhuofan does not think that he is a victim of this kind of "small talk", in fact, in a sense, he is still a beneficiary of this "little talk".

Dexing'a was not a very important person, but when the king was offended, the iceberg fell, and he was even more insignificant, and killing him would not play the role of "Liwei".

I don't like to do harmful and unhelpful things.

However, there is another reason on the table.

So, when the military plane "called", Guan Zhuofan pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "The queen mother of the two palaces, although Dexing's crime is unforgivable. But...... Belch. Chancellor and Dexing. It's been a fight. Now, if the ministers and leaders of the cardinal, if they are punished with virtue, those who don't understand will probably say...... Uh, this, it's about someone's fake public and private revenge. The reputation of the minister is not to be regretted. I'm afraid that people who are not clear in their minds will discuss the holiness of my queen mother. ”

Others didn't do anything, Ci'an laughed first: "That's right, you fought hard with Dexing'a for that woman surnamed Lu." ”

At this moment, Guan Zhuofan was really embarrassed.

The rest of the big military planes held their strength, careful not to show any strange expressions on their faces.

Ci'an knew that he was speechless, and his face was slightly red. Coughing lightly, he turned to Cixi: "Sister." I think what Guan Zhuofan said also makes sense, otherwise, let's let this horse surnamed De go? ”

Cixi smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that you actually came to intercede for him - okay, drive this guy to Ula to fight cattle!" ”

In this way, the punishment of Dexing'a is lighter than that of the martial artists of the "Juxiantang" army. It is also a military stream, Uriya Sutai is in the extreme border of Mongolia, but Ula is in Jilin, which is the nest of the banner people, where is Dexing'a, life is much more comfortable than gnawing sand in Mongolia.

The next day, another edict was issued: "Guo Songtao will enter the military plane to learn to walk." ”

Since Bao Jun was expelled from the military aircraft, he naturally had to make up for it, who would be the new minister of military aircraft, everyone was guessing hard, and now the mystery has been revealed, it turned out to be Guo Yunxian.

Well, I can't say it's unexpected, but—

Guo Yunxian is the "chairman" of the "advisory committee", Guan Beile's confidant, after the political situation has changed dramatically, he uses his own people to "fill the position", this is reasonable and not unexpected.

On the issue, Guo Songtao is Han.

Count them, six big military aircraft, Guan Beile, Prince Gong, Wen Bochuan, banner people; Cao Zhuoru, Xu Xingshu, Guo Yunxian, Han, just right, three against three.

This situation has never been seen since Sejong established the Military Aircraft Division.

There is an unwritten rule in the Military Aircraft Department, and there are at most two Han officers among the ministers of military aircraft, one from the south and one from the north. In fact, there are not many times when Han people are "full of people", and even if they are "full of people", often both of them are northerners; If there is only one Han member, it must be a northerner.

The Manchurian nobles had a deep-seated distrust of the Han people in the south.

Xu Geng is a native of Hangzhou, and when he joined the direct military plane, it was already surprising; Now, Guo Songtao has entered the direct military plane and has fallen through more people's glasses-

Among the ministers of military aircraft, the Han staff was "overstaffed" for the first time, and in terms of numbers, it was the first time that they were on par with the full staff.

Also, Guo Songtao is a native of Hunan — and a southerner.

Also, Guo Songtao is from the "Hunan family".

What does this mean?

Some people muttered in their hearts, and some people secretly excited. However, the difference between Manchu and Han is an extremely sensitive matter, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they will not be in words, even for close friends, they can't confide in them lightly. Especially at this joint point right now, I don't dare to make a mistake.

Talking nonsense is absolutely unacceptable.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the seal. The next day, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, Guan Zhuofan pushed a qiē social, and the two sisters-in-law of the Bai family and the Ming family had a good meal, and the two children of Xiaoyun and Xiaohu were at the same table.

This is a rare occurrence.

Guan Zhuofan doesn't have much time to eat at home, if he eats at home, under normal circumstances, he is only accompanied by two sisters-in-law, and Xiaoyun and Xiaohu will not be at the table. The two children's meals have always been eaten separately. This is because Guan Zhuofan's meal is completely inaccurate, Bai and Ming can wait for him on an empty stomach, and children are growing up, so they can't do this.

Also, Guan Zhuofan is too busy, and when he eats, he can make time to listen to Bai and Ming's explanations for some housework.

These "housework" are not oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots and pans, but the annual exchanges between the Guan Mansion and the princes' mansions.

Guan Zhuofan is known as "not accepting gifts", but that is for subordinates and foreign officials, and between relatives and nobles, there is still an exchange of gifts, and neither can they not be given or accepted.

Needless to say, just talk about gift-giving.

It takes a lot of thought to go up to these rituals, up to the prince and down to the relatives, and not a single one can be missed. And whoever gives what gift must neither be too light nor too heavy, otherwise he will offend people. If it is light, it will offend people, but if it is heavy, it will offend people as badly—not against the one who receives the gift, but against those who are of the same status as him: then who, and why should I receive more than me?

You can't accidentally touch the taboo of the recipient. Otherwise. Give a gift and send out the enemy.

In a word. Countless exquisiteness.

At the beginning, Guan Zhuofan had to take care of these rituals himself - at that time, the Bai family and the Ming family did not understand the Tao here. Later, I moved my qi and cultivated my body, and I saw more and opened my horizons. The ins and outs of these things were also understood by the two sisters-in-law, so Guan Zhuofan let go of his hand and handed it over to the Bai family and the Ming family to take care of.

However, although Guan Zhuofan didn't ask specifically, the more important ones, especially the gifts to the palace side, the Bai family and the Ming family, would still explain to Guan Zhuofan.

Children will not be interested in these things; Guan Zhuofan listened to Bai's and Ming's explanations of "housework". I can't spare time to communicate and communicate with the two children, Xiao Yun and Xiao Huruo eat with him. It must be depressed and restrained, so why bother?

Also, when eating, Guan Zhuofan will inevitably say a few words with his two sisters-in-law, which is even more "inappropriate for children".

Therefore, Guan Zhuofan said early, "The family has a good meal today", and told the Bai family and the Ming family to let Xiaoyun and Xiaohu sit together, and also said, "I won't talk about housework today", the two sisters-in-law were quite surprised and surprised.

Xiao Yun is ten years old, good nutrition, superior living conditions, the little girl has seen the ups and downs, a little person is fresh and tender, like a shallot, now stand in front of Guan Zhuofan, it is already an authentic beauty embryo, and the bright light in the future can be vaguely imagined.

Xiaohu is one year younger than Xiaoyun, and he hasn't started to "smoke one" yet, and he is a little thin, but he is stable and looks like a little adult. A pair of eyes, as black as paint, are very smart, and his calm expression contrasts with each other.

It's been five years, and the children have grown up, and Guan Zhuofan can't help but sigh in his heart.

During the meal, Guan Zhuofan really "didn't talk about housework", and the conversation was basically on the two children, and most of the questions were about the homework of the two of them.

This is not only that the "cultural level" of the Bai family and the Ming family is really limited, and they can't talk together, but more importantly, in the several homework courses of Xiao Yun and Xiaohu that Guan Zhuofan "appointed", in addition to the scriptures and words, there are also foreign languages and "Western studies".

Xiao Yun and Xiao Hu's homework, Guan Zhuofan has the intention of doing modern primary education experiments, if you want to elaborate on this, it will be long, and I will show it later.

Xiao Yun is getting older, and she will never be like when she was a child, she will stick into his arms as soon as she sees the "third brother", not to mention that the opportunity to meet the "third brother" is getting less and less; Xiaohu saw that he was "close big", and he was even more restrained, always making a noise, and "standing in the rules" with low eyebrows.

Therefore, at the beginning, the two children still held on to it, asking and answering questions in a proper manner. However, after all, it is the child's heart, Guan Zhuofan's question, scratched the itch one after another, and the words of the two children soon increased. Xiao Yun is even more scribbling, a crisp and soft Xiaojing piece, and talking and laughing.

This meal, what Guan Zhuofan said with Xiao Yun and Xiao Hu couldn't compare with the whole year before.

The Bai family and the Ming family, from beginning to end, couldn't say anything, but the smile on their faces became stronger and stronger. Ming also took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, turned around, and secretly wiped his eyes.

Guan Zhuofan said that Xiao Yun and Xiao Hu's homework, in the future, he will regularly "check and counsel". What "inspection" is, Bai and Ming know, what the name of "counseling" is, it is not very clear, although there is still a smile on his face, he can't help but get nervous in his heart, and secretly raise his strength.

This meal lasted almost an hour.

After dinner, Guan Zhuofan came to the study, spread out the paper, pressed the paperweight, studied the ink, and dipped the pen to the full, well, this is the meaning of doing important business.

Bai Shi made a cup of slushy English "black tea", put it on his desk, then exited the study and gently closed the door.

I'm going to do a "year roundup".

Think about it again: what should we do in the future?
