Chen Yucheng was captured by Jiang Zhongyuan in Chuzhou by luring the enemy, which drew a perfect end to the end of Xianfeng's eleventh year.

"Jiang Zhongyuan did a good errand!" The Empress Dowager Cixi could also hear the joy through the screen, "And that Jiang Qi," she had already repeated the excerpts played by Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Jiang Zhongyuan, the governor of Anhui, "Jiang Qi lured the enemy deep and ambushed Chen Yucheng in Yangjiazhuang, which is really a great achievement!" ”

"Yes," Prince Gong replied as he sat down, and the rest of the military aircraft knelt on the ground, "This is all thanks to the benevolence of the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor's great blessings, so that Wu Yundi, Jiang Qi, Ronglu and other brave people will kill the enemy for the country and make meritorious contributions." ”

"Haha, Prince Gong has won the award, it's nothing more than the soldier's life, have the military planes discussed the reward for military merit?"

"It is planned that Jiang Qi will be promoted to guerrilla, Jiang Zhongyuan will be added to the title of secretary of the household department, and the rest of the meritorious people will be rewarded by the local government as appropriate. Prince Gong replied.

"It's so good."

"Please also ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to show me whether this rebel Chen Yucheng will correct the law on the spot, or will he be sent to Beijing to announce the world and be punished again?"

"Oh? What does it mean to be a military aircraft? ”

"The slaves thought it was better to correct the law on the spot, so as to declare that they would not be at odds with the rebels."

"Although this method relieves anger, it has nothing to do with the situation in Jiangnan," the Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, and said while thinking, "When the first emperor was there, he set a plan to divide the world, then Wei Changhui's brother Wei Qing abandoned the secret and surrendered to the Ming, Zeng Guofan originally wanted to kill the follower quickly, or the first emperor was merciful, and he was not to blame in the past, Zhu approved the decision not to kill the prisoners, where is Wei Qing now?" ”

Cao Yuying was the most astute, and her mind turned. I remembered where Wei Qing is now, "Returning to the queen mother, Wei Qing has been under the jurisdiction of officers and soldiers since he surrendered to Cheng, and now he is under the command of Zeng Guofan, serving as a pioneer, which also happens to be a guerrilla position." ”

"Isn't that great? Chen Yucheng was also a prisoner. can't be killed with a knife, Chen Yucheng has been in the bandit army for a long time. The reputation is great, if it is killed with a knife, arousing their common hatred, it will be a big trouble, in addition to disintegrating the hearts of the army, it is also necessary to show the benevolence of the dynasty, what do you think? ”

"Shengming has no way to pass the Queen Mother," Prince Gong hurriedly said, "Since the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have this intention." It is better to issue an edict to show that the country and the dynasty are not to blame for the past, and they have surrendered to the meaning of rebellion and leniency. ”

"What the king of the council said is very true," Cixi nodded with satisfaction, "the so-called military strategy, if this can dissipate a little of the soldiers in Jiangnan, the enemy situation will be eliminated." Our strength will increase by one point, and over time, even if we can reverse the situation, we will issue an edict, and in addition, we will order Jiang Zhongyuan to treat Chen Yucheng preferentially. It is even better to make good use of Chen Yucheng's card, he is a scholar and knows what Yurang stories are. ”

said something about personnel, but Cixi didn't know about the officials of the Manchu Dynasty after all, except for the celebrities who remembered it in later generations, they still had some impressions, and the Manchu and Han courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty knew only a handful. Cixi muttered secretly in her heart, no wonder any leader has to use the people closest to him, in addition to the emotional factor, for fear that people he is not familiar with will do something bad, it is also a very related factor, Cixi listened to Wen Xiang's personnel appointment, while looking through the resumes of officials, the word Lin Kui, and was very unhappy.

As the saying goes, "once a son of heaven is a courtier". In the past three months, there have been a lot of large and small officials inside and out, and she wants to ask herself, who are the ones she sends? Whenever there is a vacancy, it must first be given to the generals who are fighting in the front, and those who have long been "named" will be filled when they encounter the vacancy, and there is no room for flexibility.

Secondly, we must reward Yong for the meritorious work of this coup. In order to stabilize the political situation and reconcile all parties, she had to install some important figures, these three types of people, the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that the list of vacancies issued by the military aircraft department was not wrong. But there are also some people, just because of the support of King Gong, Gui Liang entered the military plane because he is his father-in-law, although it is a fact that it is clear, in the end the qualifications are enough. Wen Xiang is a faction of King Gong, but he is honest and capable, and it is reasonable, but Lian Linkui is Baojun's cousin and has also become a co-organizer of the university. According to this comparison, who is in the hands of King Gong? Even a three-year-old understands.

"Since you all said good, then it is naturally good, now the palace is only hanging the curtain, the emperor is also young, many things are not very clear, in the end it is up to you to support the errand, this political affairs are stable, Emperor Sejong said very well, 'political affairs are first and foremost in winning people' improper employment, originally excellent scriptures have to be read crookedly, since you are all set, it must be good, you write the will up, the palace with the seal is," Cixi finished speaking, and stopped talking nonsense, "It's going to be the end of the year, everyone has worked hard for a year, and you have to rest well, Kneel down. ”

Prince Gong walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, turned his head and glanced inside, Cao Yuying was silent, and followed Prince Gong out of the Heart Cultivation Gate, and when the ministers of military aircraft dispersed, he smiled and said to Prince Gong, "King Yizheng, are you still thinking about the Queen Mother's words?" ”

Prince Gong nodded silently, "There is something in the words of the Queen Mother, Zhuoru, isn't this disgusting that we are too authoritarian, right?" ”

"I don't say a word of disobedience, the same governance, naturally the queen mother and the prince rule the world together," Cao Yuying's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, almost making Prince Gong fall, Prince Gong hurriedly let Cao Yuying boo, left and right, not far away A few little eunuchs were sweeping the snow, and hurriedly grabbed Cao Yuying, Cao Yuying lowered her voice, "I have seen clearly these days, the Queen Mother is very close to the life in the court, which is no wonder, although she is extremely talented, but after all, she used to hide in the Sixth Palace, and her military talent is now fully displayed, He is also familiar with political affairs, but this old man does not know the merits and talents of the courtiers in the court," Cao Yuying walked leisurely in the snow, "This is you, the king of the whole government." ”

When the military planes withdrew, Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Qingxi came up to ask An Dehai to drive together, "Queen Mother, do you want to use some fruit to eat?" ”

Cixi half-closed her eyes and shook her head, "No need, I'll be quiet alone," Since the curtain was lowered, the Queen Mother has such a small habit, and after the discussion, she is used to being alone for a while in the small cubicle in the warm pavilion, An Dehai heard and quickly stretched out his arm, let the Queen Mother take her hand to the inner room, and waited for the Queen Mother to sit on the kang safely, An Dehai went out quietly and closed the small door.

Cixi took out the seal of the Tongdaotang from her sleeve, and slowly stroked the seal with her hand, "The government of the imperial court is controlled from the top, not the income of the subordinates, and the distinction between the monarch and the minister in my dynasty is extremely strict, especially not comparable to the previous dynasty." She silently recited Shengbao's recital, and said to herself in her heart: "It's rare to be a fellow Taoist, and it's rare to be able to be a fellow ruler!" (To be continued.)
