Chapter 736: Stubborn Donkey
"That's it!"
Cao Yuying is Cixi's No. 1 confidant, shrewd and capable, and now she is being persecuted by all the princes, Cixi naturally can't stand it, and said coquettishly, "Lord Cao is just saying his own opinion, did he say that it must be implemented, what are you arguing about?" Don't you let people talk anymore? ”
One by one, everyone closed their mouths and lowered their heads. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sixth Master, what do you think about this matter?"
Ci'an asked.
Yixin sighed and said: "Queen Mother, Guo Ye's temperament is well known, once he recognizes a path, it is difficult for him to change it, this is the first stubborn donkey in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now we have to cut the flag salary, don't say whether it will work or not, just the timing, it is not very good, the rebellion in the south has just been quelled, and the country does not have so much money to appease the situation after the flag salary is removed, if you want to make changes to the Eight Banners, the time is not yet ripe." “
"When is the time right?"
Cixi asked.
Yixin Chen Sidao: "Queen Mother, with the meaning of the courtier's brother, it is best to be four or five years later, at this time the emperor should also be pro-government, and as time goes by, Guo Ye's prestige and seniority in the court will become higher and higher, and the treasury is full, so it is natural to change the Eight Banners, whether it is to reorganize the Eight Banners or cut them all in one go, there is enough confidence, and it will also become the emperor's first achievement after the pro-government, don't you say?" ”
Cixi's eyes lit up, yes, with Guo Ye's ability, if he wants to abolish the Eight Banners, there is definitely a certainty of success, although the time is not very ripe now, after a few years, there is absolutely no problem, and at that time, once Emperor Tongzhi was in power, it would be a world-famous achievement, enough for Emperor Tongzhi to leave a name in history, that is his own son! Such an opportunity to make a contribution is not left to his son, but to others? How can it be?
"Sixth! In the final analysis, you still have to rectify the Eight Banners and cut the flag salary, do the children of the Eight Banners have an enmity with you? Without a salary, how do you let them live? I can't say, when the time comes, I will let all the flag people go to Prince Gong's Mansion to ask for food! ”
Yi Cheng is really anxious, this matter is troublesome, and the princes and ministers below are desperately opposed, I didn't expect that ah, the king of the council above was shaken, this is absolutely not good!
"Prince Tun!"
Cixi shouted: "Can't you see the shortcomings of the Eight Banners? Tens of millions of dollars and food are spent in vain every year! If you don't make changes, it will shake the foundation of the country! ”
"Queen Mother, but if we change, it will still shake the foundation of the country! Our Qing Dynasty relies on the Eight Banners, without the Eight Banners, once the Han rebel, then what do we do to protect the inheritance left by our ancestors? ”
Yi Cheng was rude and arrogant, and he didn't care about Cixi's face at all, and openly protested.
The faces of the three Hanchen on the side all changed, usually, the Manchurian nobles just thought about it in their hearts, everyone tacitly knew it, and now the prince actually said it himself, it was completely different! If you can't trust Hanchen, why do you still use us?
Yixin's face changed even more, why does this fifth brother say everything? In this case, it will hurt the ancestral legacy of the Manchu and Han families!
"Yi Cheng, you are presumptuous!"
Not only did Yixin feel that something was wrong, Cixi's brain was not slow, and she was fascinated by her son's possible achievements in the future, so she angrily reprimanded: "The ancestors' legacy, the Manchu and Han families, regardless of each other, you actually said such things openly, it is really unreasonable, and you don't let the mourning family retreat!" ”
Yi Chen's face turned red, and he was about to continue, when Yi Xun on the side dragged him hard, glared at Yi Cheng fiercely with his eyes, signaled silence, Yi Cheng suddenly woke up, in the past two years, Cixi has become more and more proficient in government affairs, and began to have a desire to control the government affairs, obviously, it is more and more obvious that the vigilance of Yi Xin in court affairs is becoming more and more obvious, and several princes have all felt that the enthusiasm for power must be that Cixi is becoming more and more domineering, and now it is only a symptom. If you really go up to the top of this queen mother, you really won't end up with any good results.
"Fifth brother, things are not as serious as you think, one, we have been in the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, the Quartet is subdued, the world is in the heart, this is the general trend, the Manchu and Han families, it is a national policy, and now there is a big difference between Manchu and Hanchen? After two hundred years of changes, most of the children of the Eight Banners are now fighting cocks and walking dogs, where is there still any combat power? If it is not rectified, it is still the root of the critical Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to rectify the Eight Banners and abolish the flag salary, but in terms of time, it is impossible to be as impatient as Guo Ye said, didn't he just mention the abolition of the flag salary back then? Why didn't I agree? It is because the time is not ripe, no matter how good his plan is, if the timing is not right, it is impossible to carry it out. ”
Yi Xin said slowly, Yi Cheng finally fell silent, now it seems that it is difficult to shake their determination, but, fortunately, they are not going to implement it immediately, they still have time, take your time, in the next time, they will unite all the Manchurian ministers in the court, and no matter what, they will organize the abolition of flag salaries, and things are definitely not as simple as Lao Liu thought!
"It's just, King Gong, where is Guo Ye going to reply to him?"
Ci'an asked, in the past few years, the monarchs and ministers have already understood Guo Ye's temperament thoroughly, if he can't be convinced, this guy will definitely make an endless fuss.
Yixin smiled bitterly: "Now it seems that I can only patiently tell him, if you want to change, it is naturally a good thing, but we can start from something else, isn't the reform of Shandong very good, open mines, build factories, rectify the rule of officials, encourage industry and commerce, let him toss, cut the Eight Banners, this matter must be postponed, it's just that this kid's ruthlessness has come up, even I can't convince him, it seems that it still needs the two queen mothers to go out in person to become a ......"
Ci'an nodded and replied: "In this case, let's go to the mourning family in person, Guo Ye has made many meritorious deeds and worked hard, and he deserves to go to the mourning family to comfort him." ”
"Sister, how can such a thing work your big driver, sister, I will go once, your mother will honor the world, go to the courtier's house, spread it out, but it is indecent, I will go for a while, even if he Guo Ye has a stubborn temper, I will tame him, and the matter of comfort will be handed over to the little sister!"
Cixi hurriedly said, joke, Guo Ye is a big pervert, now that the two ladies are not around, who knows if he will do something disrespectful to his mother and queen mother? Condolences, let's do it yourself!
