The Empress Dowager Ci'an, as always, doesn't care about anything, doesn't want to care, can't manage, politics is simple, difficult to say, but it is also difficult to ascend to the sky, Cixi is a coincidence, when Emperor Xianfeng was helping to review and review, and contact with the government, it is not born to manage the government. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Even so, Cixi in politics, is only because of high talent, can control people's hearts, understand people's hearts, that's all, Cixi's shortcoming is shallow knowledge, never out of the door, what the world has seen, fifteen or sixteen years old into the deep palace, not to know the outside world, a little bit of understanding of the outside world, most of them come from the newspapers of the folds and foreigners.

Now the Huacui Evening News has also become the newspaper that the Empress Dowager Cixi will read every day, because in addition to promoting the Huacui Party, the Huacui Evening News is more objective in content, and the information is also the most timely, although the Qing court prohibits the public sale of the Huacui Evening News outside the concession, but the Huacui Evening News is still the largest newspaper in China in this era.

The news of the Huacui Evening News, even in many cases, was ten days and a half months earlier than the intelligence system within the Qing court, so that Cixi knew what was going on outside.

Prince Gong Yixun took the lead in firing the first shot, and a large group of ministers who followed Prince Gong Yixun spoke one after another and echoed him.

Among them, Wen Xiang, Bao Jun and others were the leaders, Wen Xiang said: "Yes, I agree with the meaning of the prince, first fight Xuan Yuemeng, first fight the Chinese army, this small Hua country, is my big trouble in the Qing Dynasty!" The Japanese are also a small country, and they can't afford to make any big waves! And Huaguo has occupied Guangdong, according to me, this Huaguo is more terrible than the original bandits, and the imperial court should focus on Huaguo! ”

The ministers nodded their heads.

This opinion is the mainstream, and what Wen Xiang said is also very reasonable.

Prince Gong was satisfied with this situation, this was the first time that everyone's hearts were so aligned, and he also realized that this was his own opportunity.

Anyway, Xuan Yuemeng's rise is related to the queen mother of the two palaces, they raised it, and now that Xuan Yuemeng's matter is happening, it is a good time for him to enhance his personal prestige, in fact, during this time, Prince Gong Yixun has also been doing this.

Not only among the ministers of the imperial court, but also among the magistrates, and even sent people to incite public opinion among the people, which is still very new to the officialdom of this era.

If there is no crossing of President Meng, Prince Gong Yixun can almost be regarded as the most far-sighted person among the high-level Chinese leaders at this time.

It was the arrival of President Moe that disrupted all this.

Jiegege frowned, she didn't like to hear this kind of remarks, but, whether it was this occasion or not, she wouldn't speak for Xuan Yuemeng, in Jiegege's heart, in fact, it was not advisable to deal with Xuan Yuemeng first, because Huaguo had already gained a firm foothold, according to the current meaning, the Qing court should quickly stabilize the situation, accelerate development, and win the hearts of the people, and the people's hearts are the biggest reliance of the imperial court, because Xuan Yuemeng is not to mention in the whole country, even in Guangdong, which has just occupied, its people's hearts cannot be compared with the imperial court.

Empress Dowager Cixi asked the Empress Dowager Ci'an beside her softly, "Sister, do you have any opinions?" ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked in surprise: "My sister can make up her own mind, you know that I have never asked too much about the affairs of the imperial court." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi sighed softly, "But today, this matter is too big, and I am very disturbed." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an patted the back of Cixi's hand, "I know that my sister will definitely be able to figure out a way, and I will support my sister in whatever she wants." Are you still reluctant to be cute? ”

Cixi smiled bitterly, she and Ci'an talked in a whisper, it was inaudible outside, Cixi secretly laughed at Ci'an is woman's opinion, when is this, this is a war between countries, I didn't expect Ci'an to think that he had personal feelings, and his attitude towards Xuan Yuemeng.

Everyone was talking, and the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't wait for Ci'an, knowing that she wouldn't come up with any ideas, she looked at Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang's meaning was the most important of all, "Li Hongzhang, tell me about it." ”

Li Hongzhang glanced up at the curtain and sighed softly, the Queen Mother finally called him, in fact, Li Hongzhang's thoughts, like Jie Gege, Li Hongzhang can also look at the problem more objectively.

The appearance of Xuan Yuemeng is at most the root of the decline of the Qing court that broke out early, but this root is not burned by Xuan Yuemeng, it has already erupted in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it has already been an omen, and the root is still in the imperial court.

Li Hongzhang felt that as long as the reform of foreign affairs was accelerated, and the rectification of the rule of officials was accelerated, as long as the internal stability of the imperial court was maintained, no matter how many and big the enemies outside, there was no need to panic.

Li Hongzhang is a very outstanding politician, but his vision is not far-reaching, at least, he has not thought of changing the law, to learn from the Japanese to improve himself like the West, he has not seen the roots!

"Back to the queen mother of the two palaces, Weichen has no ideas, these two enemies are the great trouble of my Qing Dynasty, if Weichen must say, Weichen thinks, the two should fight together, in no particular order." Li Hongzhang is scheming, so saying this is actually tantamount to being inconsistent with Prince Gong's arguments.

Prince Gong Yixun glanced at Li Hongzhang in shock, although Li Hongzhang would say this, it was really within Yixun's expectations, but he felt that there was a barrier between Li Hongzhang and himself, before, Li Hongzhang was centered on him, and now it seems that Li Hongzhang is centered on Cixi in everything he does.

Cixi also heard what Li Hongzhang meant, in fact, Cixi also thought that the Japanese should be driven out first, because after all, the Japanese are foreign forces, Xuan Yuemeng as a whole, Xuan Yuemeng collapsed, and the places occupied by Xuan Yuemeng will return to the hands of the Great Qing Kingdom, which is the same as the long hair of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Japanese are foreign forces, even if the army of the imperial court defeats the Japanese, they may not be able to take back the land occupied by the Japanese.

These lands that have been seized will become controversial in the future!

Therefore, Cixi also thought that the first thing to attack was the Japanese, but this kind of thing could not be said.

Except for a few sober-minded people such as Li Hongzhang, the arguments of the Qing court officials this time are highly unanimous!

The top and bottom are very consistent, they all think that they must strike at Xuan Yuemeng first, Xuan Yuemeng is the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, it seems that the more he scolds Xuan Yuemeng, the more loyal he is to the Qing Dynasty.

Scolding Xuan Yuemeng has become a new way for the Qing court to show loyalty to the court, which is very fashionable.

Zhilin and Jing Duo and other ministers who already have a deep hatred for Xuan Yuemeng, and even invented a paper binding person that puts Xuan Yuemeng at the door of their house, and passers-by can spit and nail nails!

The Qing Dynasty did not come up with any action strategy, but set off a vigorous movement against Xuan Yuemeng, President Meng suddenly changed from a prodigy to a demon boy, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty up and down, everyone has to be punished!

The diehard Qingliu ministers led by Li Hongzao, and a large group of Qing court stalwarts led by Prince Gong Yixun were all in favor of attacking Xuan Yuemeng first and then the Japanese.

Empress Dowager Cixi frowned, "Disperse, let's discuss it tomorrow." ”

This kind of discussion and discussion made the Qing court like a big forum, and there were many people discussing and few people doing practical things, and the various magistrates were basically in a state of their own affairs.

In addition to intensifying the campaign of cursing Xuan Yuemeng, the internal and foreign affairs of the Great Qing State did not take any action.

This wind also had a great impact on the rule of the Chinese state in Guangdong, which was still very unstable, and a large number of scholars fled Guangdong in order to show their loyalty to the imperial court.

On the contrary, the common people in Guangdong, after the Chinese government took over, felt stable and humane, and not many people left.

However, scholars are the essence of society, and all the scholars have run out, which also makes the development of Huaguo in Guangdong even slower.

The Japanese were waiting for the Qing court to come and negotiate peace with them, so they could propose to officially become the suzerainty of the Ryukyus, officially take the Ryukyus from the Qing court, and also propose to compensate them for the losses caused by this attack on Taiwan.

Seeing that the Qing court had not yet come to make contact, the Japanese had no choice but to intensify their strikes, and to intensify their strikes, they had to increase their food and armaments and make preparations for fighting for a period of time. (To be continued.) )
