Chapter 303: Fog Falls from the Sky
As soon as this excerpt was published, not only the Tongzhi Emperor was extremely angry, but the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was also furious, so there was today's court meeting. Prince www.biquge.info Gong knelt on the ground uneasily, and did not dare to gasp.
He had already heard it, and even the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who had always been good-tempered, was really angry this time.
"Minister of the Council, although I have always been kind to my ministers in the Qing Dynasty, and there is no knife to kill the doctor, but this time, the rule of 'not punishing the doctor' is only afraid that it will have to be changed." Empress Dowager Ci'an's tone was so cold that it seemed to be about to fall out of the ice slag, which made Prince Gong another agitator.
"If not, if they continue to talk nonsense like this, how many Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty are enough for them to lose?!" Empress Dowager Ci'an's voice suddenly turned stronger, obviously the last words of Cixi just now stimulated her a lot.
Since the establishment of the system of "two palaces hanging curtains and the prince ruling the government", the voices of criticism from Shilin and the people have been continuous. For the "heroine in charge of the country", traditional Chinese scholars have always been quite taboo, and even some bold and boring scholars secretly call Ci'an and Cixi "losers old ladies", and use the word "loser" to hate their sisters the most.
"Put the two of them in jail first!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said sharply, "When this matter settles, we will do it again!" ”
Mao Changxi and Dong Sui heard that the Empress Dowager Ci'an was going to severely punish the two of them, and they were already out of their bodies, but when they heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi rushed in front of the Empress Dowager Ci'an and said that they would go to prison first and deal with it after the incident subsided, the two of them were grateful for a while.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi said this, the Empress Dowager Ci'an no longer said anything, but nodded at Emperor Tongzhi.
"Mao Changxi and Dong Sui misspoke about the country, and they were honest, and they raised troops to invade Taiwan, and there is no shame in the crime! Immediately get rid of all the messengers and take off the flower feathers! Prison Waiting Place! After Emperor Tongzhi helped Cixi to sit down, he turned around and ordered loudly.
Mao Changxi's wishful thinking that the Empress Dowager Cixi said this is thinking of her previous achievements in suppression, and she was moved to tears, because when the palace guards in yellow coats stepped forward to take off his and Dong Xun's official hats, pulled out the flower feathers on the feather tube, and took off the pearls, he knelt there without the slightest resistance.
At this time, Dong Sui knelt there, trembling all over, just chanting "The Queen Mother's Grace" and "The Emperor's Grace", and there was no trace of a celebrity.
Seeing Mao Dong and the others being erected out of the hall by the palace guards, Li Lianying was relieved, and he looked at Mao Dong and the others with a trace of disdain unconsciously.
Of course, he understood what the main reason for the anger that both Ci'an and Cixi were so angry this time was.
Japan despised **** so much and blatantly sent troops to invade, which certainly made the two palaces angry, but for Ci'an, because of the words of Mao Dong and the others, her "Jixi Hall" could not be completed on schedule, and she may have to squeeze "Heaven and Earth One Spring" with Cixi for a while, which is what annoys her the most!
Now, even if it is really because of the war with Japan, the import of Tainan was interrupted, resulting in the delay of the gardeners, and the responsibility is no longer his Li Er manager or Lin Yizhe, who is in charge of wood picking!
Weng Tongyi, who was still kneeling on the ground, scanned the hall with his eyes, and found that although Prince Gong and Wen Xiang, who were presiding over the Prime Minister's Yamen, looked distressed, there was no sadness between their eyebrows; Shen Guifen and Bao Jun looked calm, unable to see joy or sorrow, as if the fate of Mao Dong and the two had nothing to do with the two of them; And Li Hongzao, the leader of the "Northern Clear Stream", looked even more ignorant, which made Weng Tongyi secretly gnash his teeth.
Weng Tongyi inadvertently met Li Lianying's eyes secretly looking at Mao Dong and the others, although it was just a glance, but he couldn't help but startle him.
Li Lianying's gaze seemed to be looking at two dead people!
After the court meeting, Weng Tongyi returned home and sat alone in the study. At this time, he still couldn't forget Li Lianying's gaze that made him tremble when he thought about it.
From this gaze, he can judge that Mao Dong and the others are definitely unlucky this time!
It's just that Weng Tongyi's heart suddenly tightened - this joint name is almost like an axe for Mao Dong and the others, is it really just Li Henian's handiwork?
Weng Tongyi picked up a pen and paper, and while he wrote his first name, Li Henian, on a snow-white piece of paper, he recalled Li Henian's resume.
Li Henian is the sixty-seventh Jinshi of the second class of Enke in the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang, and he was selected as a Jishi. In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, the Hanlin Sanguan was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, Xianfeng was the same examiner in the Shuntian Township Examination for five years, Fujian Province supervised the imperial history, Xianfeng was in charge of the Yunnan Provincial Supervision of the imperial history for six years, Xianfeng was in charge of the city for seven years, and was transferred to the military department to the middle of the matter, and the Xianfeng nine-year criminal department was given the palm seal to the matter. On the occasion of his father's funeral, after serving the funeral in the first year of Tongzhi (1862), he was sent to the Henan military camp to handle military affairs, and was awarded the Tonghaidao in Changzhen, Jiangsu. In the same year, he was transferred to the direct subordinate and concurrently served as the direct subordinate political envoy. Tongzhi supervised the defense of Jinan for four years, and was promoted to the governor of Hubei in the same year, and was transferred to the governor of Henan in the fifth year of Tongzhi. At that time, the army was in full swing, and Li Henian raised about 20,000 soldiers and horses from the two armies, and the first army was named Yijun, which was led by Song Qing. The first army is called the Songwu Army, which is led by Zhang Yao. The horse team was also managed by Shanqing and served as the horns of the two armies. When Song Qingda broke the twisting army in Suizhou, Li Henian personally went to the battle to supervise the battle. The Twist Army went north, and Li Henian led the water and land armies to block and suppress along the embankment, and then planned to attack the Yuzhou Twist Army. Shanqing also attacked the Twist Army with the Huai Army. Because of the killing of Ren Zhu, the leader of the Twist Army, the imperial court gave Li Henian a head to wear, and in the seventh year of Tongzhi, Li Henian was ordered to supervise the division to pursue the Twist Army, and the Twist Army was drowned, and the court awarded Li Henian a first-class merit.
Li Henian was promoted to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, which was a matter of the tenth year of Tongzhi, and in the eleventh year of Tongzhi, he was personally received by the emperor and allowed to ride a horse in the Forbidden City.
Like Mao Changxi, Li Henian also started with "twisting", but judging from the resumes of the two, it seems impossible to have any conflict!
However, today's excerpt on Li Henian's impeachment of Mao Dong and the two is only a few crosses, but no matter the timing, the grasp of logic or the choice of words and sentences, they have exhausted their thoughts, and it can be said that they will want to die with Mao Dong and the two quickly, which is really worthy of a big deal!
However, Li Henian and Mao Dong have no grudges, so why should they go to this fold and cause the two to die?
"He Li Henian has this brain, but he may not have this scheming, not to mention that he has nothing to do with these two people, and he can't do this yin trick."
Weng Tongyi shook his head to himself, wrote the word "Wenyu" on the right side of the three characters "Li Henian", and then shook his head again, drawing a horizontal line on top of the two.
In his opinion, Wen Yu not only did not have the motive to kill Mao Dong and the others, but also did not have this brain!
"This is also a person who has not had a holiday with Mao Changxi and Dong Sui." Weng Tongyi wrote the words "Shen Baozhen" after the two names.
Shen Baozhen and Mao Dong also didn't have any festivals, but Shen Baozhen presided over the shipyard, and he was always disliked by Qingliu, and at this time, it can be said that he has the motivation to go to this excerpt, and he also has this mind and can grasp the opportunity, but he is benevolent by nature and has never written such a sharp excerpt as a knife, that is to say, he has no means!
Now, there's only one person left.
Weng Tongyi's brows tightened instantly, he picked up the pen, and after the three names, he wrote the words "Lin Yizhe".
Lin Yizhe has been impeached by the Yanguan before, although Mao Dong and the others did not directly impeach him, but many of those Yanguan are protégés of the two, and it is completely possible that Lin Yizhe is jealous of the two and takes the opportunity to retaliate!
However, regardless of whether this "young newcomer" has such scheming methods for the time being, just because he is such a young descendant, why should he let feudal officials like Li Henian, Wen Yu and Shen Baozhen come to kill him for him?
Shen Baozhen is Lin Yizhe's uncle, in fact, he is like his father, he has always loved Lin Yizhe as his own, and he obeyed his words, Lin Yizhe said that it was possible to move him to join his name.
But Li Henian and Wen Yu have no intersection with Lin Yizhe, and their relationship with Shen Baozhen is only general, but why do they want to do this excerpt for Lin Yizhe?
Because of the removal of Mao Dong, the two of them can't get any benefits from it!
And Lin Yizhe borrowed Li Henian's hand to knock down Mao Dong and the others in one fell swoop, what good did he have for himself? Is it just to get revenge - to take revenge on Mao Dong for protecting his speech back then?
"If I can really convince Li Henian Wenyu to join forces with him, then I really have to be impressed with him!" Weng Tongyi stood in place, his fingers gently twisting his beard, and gradually fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a long time, Weng Tongyi, who still didn't understand the essentials, rubbed his temples that were a little numb and came back to his senses.
Thinking that Lin Yizhe, who is now the governor of Fujian and the minister of Taiwan affairs of the National Assembly, should be the majestic leader of the sailors into Taiwan at this time and patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he felt a burst of jealousy in his heart.
"I'm afraid that you are Zhao Kuo and Ma Ji and others, and you deserve such a heavy responsibility! It's easy to provoke and it's not easy to make up, I'll see how you end! Weng Tongyi sneered, picked up the paper on the table, and tore it to shreds.
"Where are we now?"
Lin Yizhe, who was standing in the command tower of the armored cruiser "Fujing", looked at the gray and thick sea fog around him, and his heart was anxious, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Back to my lord, according to the voyage, when it is in the sea near Baibeiyu, it is not far from Penghu Port."
Bei Jinquan, the commander of the "Fujing" ship, carefully looked at the chart and replied.
"It's really unfortunate that this fog came, otherwise, I would have arrived in Penghu early by now." The first mate, Shen Renfa, also said a little anxiously.
Lin Yizhe looked around, the sea fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility had dropped to the lowest, not to mention the follow-up ships, even a meter away in front of him was completely submerged by the fog curtain. Since the ships of the Ship Master and Naval Division were advancing in a single longitudinal array, due to the excessive sea fog at this time, in order to prevent collision caused by not being able to see the target clearly, Lin Yizhe ordered all ships to anchor and stop sailing, and wait until the fog cleared and the visibility improved before sailing.
