Chapter 108: The Qing Court's Actions
The news of Li Zhongju's wedding spread in all directions like a light source, and wherever it spread, the people in 1 were very shocked, and at the same time, they were all very curious, why did King Zhennan get married so late. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But no matter what you say, for Li Zhongju's wedding, it is definitely the most sensational thing in the country at present, and there is no one.
When the news of Li Zhongju's wedding reached the ancient city of Beijing, there were thousands of waves for a while, and the undercurrent was surging in an instant.
After Li Hongzhang got the news of King Zhennan's wedding, he let out a long sigh, of course, all this was expected, and after Li Hongzhang was shocked, he was worried. He was worried that these officials of the imperial court would come out with other moths, which would be very problematic for the stability of the current situation.
To put it bluntly, Li Hongzhang feels that Li Zhongju is really good, a person who dares to do things and is really desperate for the strength of the nation. At the same time, Li Zhongju has his own methods and opinions, all of which are so valuable.
Just when Li Hongzhang was sighing, the secretary of the ministry, Yu Tong, also received the news of Li Zhongju's wedding, and Xu Tong showed a mysterious smile.
This time, Xu Tong thought of a wonderful way in his heart to suppress Li Zhongju's arrogance, and Xu Tong has always held a grudge against Li Zhongju for the fact that Li Zhongju once took away his student Pan Fei's Guizhou.
When other officials of the Qing court got the news of the wedding of King Zhennan, a large part of them were uneasy and had a feeling of pinpricks. But there are some officials who are not too worried, anyway, they are all mixed officials, and they all rely on the glory of their ancestors to become officials.
It can even be said that most of these officials in the Qing Dynasty are like this at present, and this dynasty has been corroded, and it can even be said that it is hopeless. But there are still some people who pin their hopes on the Qing Dynasty, but because the Qing court has disappointed them again and again, the authority of the Qing court is now getting lower and lower.
That's why there are sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, who themselves take up arms to fight against foreign powers, but the Qing court helps foreigners, all of which makes people feel extremely heartbroken.
Today, the Qing Dynasty's control over the local area is getting weaker and weaker, and it is not as strong and powerful as Kang Qianyong's time.
What's even more ridiculous is that at this time, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and the Manchu nobles were still dreaming of their great cause. Real people with lofty ideals, the Qing Dynasty will not be reused, don't you say that such a dynasty is struggling?
The common people of Beijing were all stunned when they heard the news that Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, was going to get married, because the king of Zhennan had not yet married, and in their impressions, the age of marriage for men was sixteen or seventeen years old, or even earlier.
Besides, an upright prince is not married, this? What makes people think. The common people all sighed with emotion, if a big man like King Zhennan could accept his daughter as a girl, they would be happy for several years.
On the second day, all the ministers had their own thoughts, and before they spoke, no one knew what they wanted to do.
But all eyes were on Li Hongzhang, Prince Gong Yixin, Rong Lu and several other important ministers. Other officials with relatively small positions only need to obey these high-ranking and powerful ministers.
Everyone stood in order, they quietly waited for the arrival of Emperor Guangxu and the Empress Dowager Cixi, their serious appearance, it was really a little unusual in peacetime.
But they've done this countless times, and if they didn't even have the ability to do that, they wouldn't be standing here. Although they don't deserve to stand here.
About five or six minutes later, the voice of a eunuch sounded.
"The emperor has arrived!!" "The Queen Mother has arrived."
Everyone saw the emperor and the empress dowager marching from behind the Jinluan Palace, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
The ministers immediately knelt down and bowed, "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen mother, long live the queen mother, long live thousands of years." ”
Emperor Guangxu looked at his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who nodded slightly.
Emperor Guangxu tirelessly said, "Flat." ”
"Long live Xie, Empress Dowager Xie." The ministers stood up.
The Empress Dowager Cixi coughed lightly, and Emperor Guangxu didn't say anything, understanding that the next step was to hand it over to herself, a "good mother".
Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes were like torches, she glanced at the ministers, and said lightly, "I believe that this palace believes that you have also received the news that Li Zhongju is going to get married, and you all tell me how we should deal with this matter." This palace remembers that any prince's marriage must be given by divine decree. ”
Everyone immediately understood that the Empress Dowager Cixi was already dissatisfied with Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, and Li Zhongju did not consult the court on this matter, and privately announced his marriage, which was contempt for the court.
But what prestige does the Qing Dynasty still have, and it is obviously unrealistic to want a feudal official who holds the land of four provinces to obey the imperial court.
It seems that the Empress Dowager Cixi still hasn't put herself in the right position, she still holds herself as Wu Zetian back then, and she can cover the sky with one hand, how is this possible?
Everyone immediately began to whisper, and Xu Tong, who had already prepared the official book, immediately stood up after a while and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the court can give the king of Zhennan a marriage, and at the same time inform the world." Chen thought that doing so would definitely make Li Zhongju finally reluctant to accept it. ”
Xu Tong continued, "The Queen Mother, you can choose a Manchu woman, choose a woman with both ability and integrity from the various princes, the county prince's mansion, or the Baylor mansion, and send it to Li Zhongju. ”
Xu Tong said amazingly, "In this way, Li Zhongju's descendants will lie with half of our blood." Of course, this county lord can take the opportunity to install some personnel we sent out in various important positions. We can completely let the county lord finally put Li Zhongju in the air. ”
Xu Tong finally said, "It's best to lure Li Zhongju to come to Beijing to welcome his relatives, and when the time comes, we can kill Li Zhongju without realizing it......
As Xu Tong finished speaking, everyone took a deep breath, and their eyes looking at Xu Tong were all full of vigilance, fearing that they would be calculated by Xu Tong unknowingly that day.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was very interested, and it could even be said that the Empress Dowager Cixi had decided to do this, but she still had to ask other people's opinions, "Do other people have any good opinions?" ”
There were more than a dozen ministers, expressing their complete agreement with Xu Tong's opinion, and the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction.
The Empress Dowager Cixi did not ask Li Hongzhang this time, but asked Rong Lu, "Rong Lu, what do you think of Xu Tong's opinion, can you find such a woman." ”
Rong Lu immediately walked out and said, "As long as the Queen Mother needs it, the slaves will definitely be able to find it, thinking that I have thousands of good women in the Manchu tribe, there will definitely be qualified women." ”
Cixi immediately smiled and said, "Ronglu, then this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, you must make sure to choose a woman who can bring trouble to Li Zhongju." ”
