After Cixi's death, Longyu occupied Cining Palace, and Concubine Jin followed closely behind, occupying Yonghe Palace, recreating a situation where the two palaces stood side by side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that these two houses lack both talent and means, and neither prestige nor prestige can compare with the two houses back then.

Among the courtiers, the authority of the two palaces was very weak, and they could not suppress the king of Beifu, only Chengze and King Xiaogong and others used the two palaces as a means to attack Beifu. The Queen Mother Concubine is just a tool in competition, and her own authority is not strong.

The place of the summoning is in the Dongnuan Pavilion, as soon as he enters the palace, Xiao Dezhang greeted him, first greeted King Qing, and shouted brother, and greeted Zhao Guanhou. He is now the chief manager, and his status is the same as Li Lianying back then.

Although the authority of the two palaces is not heavy, he has a famous position, and he can sell some official positions by relying on Longyu, or exonerate people, and he has made a fortune.

After Zhao Guanhou entered Beijing, although he didn't go to see him, he gave a considerable amount of silver taels to the condensation beads that had become Xiaodezhang's outer room. One has friendship, and the other has silver, Xiao Dezhang naturally leans towards Zhao Guanhou's side.

Therefore, when the two met, after a few words of greeting, Xiao Dezhang said: "It's a good thing to say hello to my brother today, and the two palaces are summoned." Don't be afraid to go inside, say whatever you want, today is the two of you, and a few people in Beifu have not been there, don't worry about someone interrupting. ”

It is no secret that Longyu and Chengfeng are fighting for power, and today they secretly summoned King Weng's son-in-law, and there is naturally a sense of celebration and mellowness. If you want to unite, there must be benefits, and this is probably the benefit that Xiao Dezhang said.

When I came to the warm pavilion, I saw that the two bead curtains had been pulled up, isolating the inside and outside, so that people could not see the true face of the two palaces inside. Zhao Guanhou and King Qing saluted according to the rules, but they couldn't hear the movement inside, Zhao Guanhou was angry in his heart, could it be that he had to give a dismount first, kneeling and talking?

After a while, I heard a woman's voice inside, "Give ...... Throne! ”

Stammer? Immediately Zhao Guanhou vetoed his idea, he had seen it when the emperor was in Daxing before, and the queen mother did not stutter, that is...... Nervous. This makes it clear that it wasn't intentional to be embarrassed at all just now, but the Queen Mother was actually nervous and forgot how to deal with it, and she just woke up now.

It is not surprising that Long Yu has no experience in meeting foreign ministers and handling government affairs. Cixi died too suddenly, and he had never cultivated this niece before, so Long Yu could only desperately imitate his aunt, but what he learned was not the same. It's like this secret summons, which is an extremely effective technique, but he ignores his experience of not talking to strange men at all. If it is simply King Qing and the two are relatives, they can talk without hindrance.

Zhao Guanhou is a young man, she is a widow, and she is a nominal queen. It is equivalent to answering a young man in the body of a boudoir, and when I think of this layer, I can't help but think that this kind of summoning is very inappropriate. Whether it should be said twice or not, the mind does not belong, and the answer is not fluent.

Concubine Jin saw Zhao Guanhou on the way to escape, and also talked to Shigege, and when she got married, she also helped Cuiyu and Fengzhi decorate a new house, but she was not afraid of life. But she, the concubine, couldn't overpower the queen mother, so she had to endure and not speak.

Xiao Dezhang was slightly sweaty on his forehead, and he was a little anxious about this Adou who couldn't help him, so he had to ask: "Queen Mother, do you want to give King Qing a cup of ginseng tea?" ”

"Ah...... Be. You are a slave, people have been here for so long, why don't you give tea, Uncle Qing is the elder in our clan, how can you treat the elder like this, go quickly! ”

Two bowls of ginseng tea were served, and Long Yu finally gasped evenly, and asked Zhao Guanhou when he would arrive in the capital, Shandong this year's harvest, river work, and taxes. A few questions had been thought of a long time ago, and the monarch and ministers answered them freely, and her heart gradually calmed down, from the nervousness at the beginning, to gradually recovering freely, and began to look at Zhao Guanhou outside through the curtain.

The two had met once, but it was the death of the Son of Heaven at that time, and they caught a glimpse. The eyes full of gems can't be seen, how can you care about the last red-capped minister? At this time, it was equivalent to negotiating on the other side, and when he looked carefully, he saw a young and handsome man with a jade tree in the wind, just outside his throne, only a bead curtain away from him, and Long Yu's heart was inexplicably tight.

He...... So handsome.

Looking at the young and heroic governor outside, Long Yu couldn't help but compare himself with Wen Xiang, Zeng Lizuo and others back then, and the last name that came to mind was: Han Rong. Although the flag and the Han are poor, but the heroic appearance is more prosperous, and the young are young, compared with the two, this is better than the other.

Cixi had Han Rong by his side that day, why couldn't he have such a minister who had something to do? Even those internal funds are no longer important at this time. The contradiction between the previous two was mainly a money word, and then there was the instigation of Xiao Gongwang and his eldest brother-in-law Cheng Ze and others. Now that she is on the other side, her state of mind has changed.

Such a person deserves his own attention more than silver. The left and right have the right in hand, and are you afraid that you won't be able to get the money? On the contrary, now, he can't even control a governor of Xinjiang, so he really can't raise funds. If it really reverses him, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?

Coughing twice, Long Yu spoke:

"You became a governor at a young age, this is the grace of the court, and it is also something that has never been precedent in the country, you must be grateful and repay the kindness. Concubine Jin and I still remember your Xuanhua rescue and meritorious service outside the border, and this time Shandong did a good job of killing the thieves, and I remember all these credits. You see, the imperial court also awarded you a hereditary second-class man, this is called a noble who retires with the country, as long as there is a day of Dajin Kingdom, there will be your family's title of Yulu, this country is equivalent to having your share. Your heart in doing errands is to work for your own family, can you understand this relationship? ”

"The minister understands that the minister should serve with all his heart and be loyal to the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."

"It's good to be loyal, it's good to be loyal." When Long Yu said this, she gestured to Concubine Jin on the other side with her eyes, her mouth was clumsy, and her words couldn't reach her meaning, so she had to beg Concubine Jin for help.

Concubine Jin hurriedly took over, "Zhao Guanhou, I still remember when I was in Yulin Castle, Lafayette gave me a marriage, and I and the eldest princess Rongshou helped your bride pick up." Since the beginning of our Dajin Kingdom, the women who can enjoy this brilliance are afraid that the two in your family are the first, there are no ancients before, and there will be no one in the future. And I also remember the credit for your preparation of the banquet and the reception of the two palaces. If it weren't for your bean porridge dim sum at that time, I'm afraid there would be no peace agreement later. You are young, you act frizzily, you have done a lot of things without consideration, and if you are impeached, you should also check it yourself. For example, that Yushan, you are his constitution, what's wrong with him, you just write a book to him, can it be sent to Beijing, will the Queen Mother refute your book? To appease the feudal domain, it is your right thing to do, and the court has its own king to deal with him. What kind of system is this to use force on your own? He went to Songjiang on his own initiative, and this argument can be killed, and he is not allowed to do such nonsense in the future. ”

"Obey."

"It's good that you have a number in your own heart, and at the moment, among the governors of various places, count your young age, and the relationship with Uncle Qing, and you are your own person. When Lafayette was about to bintian, you were present twice, and your identity was different from that of ordinary ministers. After the constitution is established in the future, it is not uncommon for you to be a minister in general, although our Dajin has a different surname and is not a king, but a first-class marquis is not worse than the king. Do it well, and the court will not treat you badly. ”

At this time, Long Yu thought that Concubine Jin talked too much, so she stole the limelight. In the future, the tiger will be attached, will it serve her or share her worries? Hurriedly said:

"Zhao Guanhou, what the concubine said is what I meant, understand? Don't be afraid, if someone bullies you in the future, you will come to me to complain, I will call the shots for you, and you are not allowed to mess around with your own temperament. This is all in the past, let's just forget about it. I called you here today to ask you about this exercise, and Uncle Qing said that you wrote it. ”

"Exactly."

"The writing is good, don't look at it, I haven't read it, but the text is very well written, I can understand it. It's a good idea, but there's one thing you have to think about is that it costs silver...... Songjiang didn't talk about it, Dao Sheng also went out of business, the imperial court was nervous, and the soldiers in several towns would do it, how much did it cost. ”

Zhao Guanhou immediately replied, "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that this part of the money cannot be saved." Military affairs are related to the stability of the community, and saving money on this is tantamount to leaving a gap for anti-thieves. In any case, autumn drills are always cheaper than military expenses. As for the specific silver two financing, Ze Gong manages the branch, presumably there is a way. According to the minister's view, the silver should not only not be saved, but also spent, not only to let the foreigners see our military might, so as not to give birth to a contemptuous heart, but also the majesty and dignity of the queen mother and the concubine. ”

"Dignified? What does this have to do with us? ”

"Of course it is. Before, when our new army paraded, in addition to the relatives and nobles to observe the exercises, Lafayette also often went to watch the exercises, and the generals of the three armies learned that the saints were watching the exercises, and everyone had enough strength to take out the solutions of the whole body, and the morale was also very sufficient. The minister thought that although Lafayette was now in the sky, the rules could not be abolished, and the queen mother and the concubine should still watch the exercises and motivate the soldiers. The majesty of the Queen Mother is related to the dignity of the country, and it is necessary to prepare ceremonial utensils, and silver cannot be saved. ”

"I ...... Our sisters go to watch the exercises? Is this okay? Long Yu's voice became trembling, and she could hear that her emotions became very excited. She has little interest in the military. But she knew that in order to seize power, it was necessary to have soldiers.

If you want to achieve the purpose of setting up the curtain, you must grasp the military heart. The Beifu brothers took control of the Military Advisory Mansion, in fact, in order to control the New Army of the Six Towns. But if you inspect and observe the exercises yourself, like Lafayette, and grasp the hearts of these officers and soldiers, and use the tigers and wolves of the six towns for your own use, what is the point of the brothers in Beifu?

She originally summoned Zhao Guanhou, just hoping to master a military governor to counter the forces of Beifu. But after hearing Zhao Guanhou's suggestion, he couldn't help but turn countless thoughts. Even for the court situation, there is a lot of hope. Yu Zhao Guanhou's views have also changed. Inside the capital, the inside and outside are isolated, but when watching the exercise, it is outside, and there are many adaptations in between.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, of course you can. Taking the Empress Dowager Xiaoqinxian as a precedent, how can you not? The minister thought that if the two palaces could go to Yongping this time, the six towns of the meeting would be greatly inspired, and all countries would not dare to be contemptuous when they saw the might of our army. ”

"Good! Well said! Long Yu praised: "Uncle Qing, you really found a good son-in-law." His talent, being a governor, is condescending. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie's praise, he is young, he doesn't think about things well, and he has to sharpen himself in the local area for a few years, and it is just right to be a magistrate."

Long Yu said: "Zhao Guanhou, let me tell you the truth, there are many people who participate in you in the court, not only ministers, not only banner people, some of the people who participate in you are very heavy, even Uncle Qing is afraid that he can't protect you." But with our sisters here, you can rest assured that no one will touch you. Your official position and your age are somewhat incompatible, so you have to be wronged for a few years first, and when you are old, you will be rewarded by your own grace. But this time, you have done a great job, and I can't help but appreciate it. The Seventh Master Baoju promoted you to be the assistant of the War Department, this Baoju is very good, you are familiar with military affairs, and you will have miraculous achievements in training the new army. But Shandong can't live without you, which makes me a little embarrassed. ”

Concubine Jin said: "Queen Mother, it's better to let him be on a bad job." ”

"Part-time? That's not bad, then that's it, your governor of Shandong will not move, and then he will be the deputy minister of the War Department. When Shandong's business is not busy, I come to Beijing to run errands, which is hard for you, and the two places run back and forth. Fortunately, you are young and have good bones, so you can still endure this little hardship. As long as you bring the soldiers well, in the future, there will be your benefits. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "Queen Mother, the minister still has a love in return." ”

"You say."

"The minister's new policy in Shandong is also an experiment for the new policy of the imperial court, if there is anything inappropriate, the fault is in Shandong, and it is easy to correct. If it is wrong in the whole country, it will be irreparable. In this process, it is inevitable that some places are unsatisfactory, and even some places have big mistakes, which requires the local officials and ministers to work together and work together to solve the matter smoothly. If everyone has their own ideas and people's hearts are different, things will not be done. The matter of Yushan is a lesson from the past, so the minister is courageous, please ask the queen mother for permission, and the minister can sponsor his own competent candidate above the employment of people in Shandong. ”

Concubine Jin said: "It's nothing, when Hong **** was xing, the local governor led the troops to suppress the thieves, which is not to appoint his own capable cadres." Otherwise, the military aircraft will be delayed, and now although there are no thieves like Changmao, there are bandits like Emperor Sun. The harm is worse than the long hair, you are this book, our sisters are allowed. ”

Long Yu also said: "Yes, I approved you for this one, and you have the final say in Shandong employment." ”

The king's and ministers' performances were finished, and the son-in-law said goodbye, and when he came out, another eunuch sent the reward. It's two old ginseng sticks, plus a treasure belt.

Xiaode Zhang said as he walked: "The two palaces are very happy today, brother, don't worry, just rush you to play today, Sichuan's errand must be exempted." If Sheng Bulou asks you to be the minister of the railway supervision again, you will definitely come back with a gray nose. ”

"Everything depends on the eldest brother to say a few more kind words in front of the two palaces, wait for two days, the younger brother will come to see you, and our brothers have to have a good chat."

"You come the day after tomorrow, I will ask for leave the day after tomorrow, I happen to be looking for you for something, we really have to have a good chat."

When he returned to the palace, King Qing said: "It seems that the two palaces take you very seriously, and they have a bit of a taste of monarchs and ministers." I don't know what your impression of the two palaces is? ”

Zhao Guanhou thought for a moment, "If Lafayette is here, the son-in-law would not dare to reply like today." The military expenses should be asked Zegong This kind of words, that is to eat the first line. Concubine Jin said that she was kind, and in my opinion, it was also because of Lafayette's presence, she didn't dare not be kind. Now that Lafayette is gone, the concubine grabbed the words, but she was not polite at all, and the queen mother couldn't suppress her. Even in terms of talent, not to mention, your old man knows it in his heart. ”

King Qing sighed helplessly, "Hearing you say this, I still have to sell this land, and it has to be fast, I hope the time is still in time." (To be continued.) )
