When Prince Gong Yixin knelt on the cushion of Ningshou Palace, a thin yellow curtain was hung in the Le Shou Hall, and there was also a dragon chair behind the yellow curtain tent, and sitting was the Holy Mother Empress Dowager Yehenara, that is, the Empress Dowager Cixi who had been hanging the curtain for more than 32 years.

At this time, Yi Xin's back was sweating slightly, and he had quite a good understanding of this sister-in-law's methods in the past thirty years, so he naturally had to be careless.

"Sixth Master."

Behind the yellow curtain came Cixi's crisp voice, as in the past, Cixi still called Yixin according to the old rules.

"The minister is here."

Yi Xin hurriedly kowtowed and agreed.

Cixi behind the yellow curtain looked at Yi Xin, who was kneeling on the mat. I haven't seen him for some years, if it weren't for the matter in Hangzhou, Yixin would have to come forward to stabilize those Han Chen, and the two of them might not see each other for a long time, he looked very much like the first emperor, but he was more manly than the first emperor.

Looking at Yi Xin, the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly remembered her husband who died early. After a short pause, her voice changed, becoming extraordinarily soft, as if it was Lan'er who had a conversation with the first emperor back then, not the inviolable queen mother who had been hanging the curtain for thirty-two years and had repeatedly dismissed the ministers of the military aircraft department.

"You're here for North Korea, right?"

Although on the surface, Cixi seems to be ignorant of the government and has returned to the emperor, but in fact, she can still control the government, just like this Hangzhou incident, the emperor has to come to find her if she doesn't fold, that is, she has the charm to re-recruit the sixth child who is "ordered to recuperate at home".

"Back to the Queen Mother, now Hangzhou is in turmoil, and its demons confuse the public. Divide the Manchurians. At this time, he should be a stable official. Rather than provoking a backlash. ”

Yi Xin replied, with a tone that could not be questioned. This is precisely the difference between it and the alcohol king, the alcohol king has always been the queen mother, and Yixin recognized the thing, even if the eight cows can't be brought back.

But Cixi just nodded disapprovingly, and then continued to speak:

"Sixth master, in the early years, the first emperor dragon drove the guests and threw the ancestral inheritance to our orphans and widows. Foreigners are bullying outside, and bandits are making trouble inside! In order to keep the country of my ancestors, I, a woman, have no other ability, only relying on the fifth, sixth, and seventh masters, and relying on Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang, a group of civil and military generals, to barely support those years. The ancestors barely survived the crisis, and in those years, if it weren't for you, the sixth master, whether the ancestral foundation could be preserved, it was still a matter of saying! ”

Yi Xin heard the words of Cixi's words. Then he kowtowed again and said:

"The minister will be young and ignorant, and he will be offended by the Queen Mother. I was very ashamed. In recent years, I have revisited the teachings of our ancestors and ancestors, and deeply felt the difficulties of our ancestors' entrepreneurship, and it has not been easy to maintain the country for more than two hundred years. When this internal and external troubles are in trouble, the ministers are ineffective and have the trust of the Queen Mother, which should be condemned. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Xin unconsciously cried bitterly. Whether it's pretending or coming from the bottom of your heart, there are things that need to be said, and things that need to be done.

Sure enough, Yixin's performance made Cixi very satisfied. In fact, the conflict between her and Yi Xin is just a power struggle, a relationship between compromise and not, and she ordered her to "recuperate" in the mansion for eight years, which is enough to boil the arrogance in Yi Xin's heart and let him know who is in charge of this Qing Dynasty.

If you talk about the past, there is still a dispute between the two. So now, under the instigation of Weng Tongyi and other imperial parties, Guangxu did not take himself as the queen mother in his eyes at all, and naturally the two of them had no power struggle. On the contrary, there are common interests, and for Cixi, she has no intention of stopping the emperor's willful behavior.

"Sixth Master, the first emperor in Japan often praised your loyalty and ability in front of me, and I fully believe in you. Don't mention the things of the early years, now that you have known the previous mistakes, you just don't want to do them again in the future. The emperor is too young, and he always makes his heart go wrong when he does things, and his experience is still so poor, and he will have to rely on the sixth master to assist him in the future. ”

This is obviously to be used again, Yi Xin was surprised and happy when he heard it, and kowtowed again and again to thank him and said:

"The Queen Mother is magnanimous, and her ministers are full of brains, which is not enough to report."

"Your own siblings, you don't have to say such things."

Cixi's words were very earnest, and the tone of her voice also returned to the intimacy of the past,

"There are a few things, the sixth master still has to help the court get an idea."

"Please show the Queen Mother."

"On the Hangzhou side, although Liu Kunyi said that he was transferring troops, he said that after the Hangzhou thieves rebelled and seized the city, they recruited 40,000 troops, and the soldiers of Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang were less than 30,000. Weng Tonggong and they also advocated the use of the Hunan army. There is also the fact that the Hangzhou thief has been rebelling for several cities in the past few days, why did the sixth master think? ”

Cixi asked these few things, the real most concerned is probably the "resurgence of the Hunan army", these years the Qing Dynasty relied on the Huai army, then Li Hongzhang had to rely on Cixi after King Gong's dismissal, and now Weng Tonggong and other imperial party in the name of thieves against the trend, asked to use the Hunan army again, in order to save the situation, this can not but make Cixi vigilant.

In these years, it is precisely by relying on Li Hongzhang's Huai Army that the imperial party cannot get involved in military power, of course, who can hold this Great Qing State except for the Huai Army?

"Queen Mother,"

Reuse the Hunan army, where is Li Hongzhang placed? Yi Xin thought for a moment and then said.

"Back then, Gong Wenzheng was a special minister of Emperor Xuan. Both Emperor Xuan and Emperor Xian valued him for both talent and blood, so they took on a heavy responsibility. He really lived up to his expectations and created the Hunan Army, which went through more than ten years of hardship and leveled the south of the Yangtze River. After the bandits were pacified, he was not proud of his achievements, supported the army and respected himself, and took the initiative to disarm, which was a rare loyal man and a model for his ministers. If all the generals who led the troops followed the example of Zeng Guofan, then the ancestors would be impregnable. ”

"Oh!"

Cixi nodded in agreement. Yes, Yi Xin said it well, if the generals who led the troops were like Zeng Guofan, then they could really sit back and relax!

But the subtext in the words is to remind Cixi that even if Zeng Guofan was calm and chaotic, what happened to the rebuilding of rivers and mountains?

Sometimes, some words don't need to be specified, just a little bit of dialing, so that people can understand the meaning, Cixi thought for a moment, looked at Yixin and knew that his reminder might be selfish. But it's true. There is the front car of Zeng Guofan. When the time comes to dismantle again, how can it be so smooth?

"However, the Queen Mother, this Hunan army is not unusable, since the Huaiyong army is a little insufficient now, Hunan Chu can be recruited to help Huai, so that you don't have to worry."

Yi Xin's answer made Cixi's eyes suddenly light up. Although the Hunan army is still used, it has not become the private army of Zeng Guofan as in the past, but the Hunan army composed of the children of the old Hunan army led by a group of old generals of the Hunan army is under the account of Li Hongzhang to serve the imperial court, which can not only prevent the imperial party from meddling in the military power, but also prevent Li Hongzhang from supporting the army in the future.

So Cixi nodded and said:

"This is the government. I still have to be the sixth master. ”

Until now, Cixi still didn't say anything about Yixin's errand. But now Yixin also knows that his comeback is just around the corner, as long as the emperor is on his side...... Thinking about the emperor's side, Yi Xin continued.

"Queen Mother, as for the matter of Hangzhou, although it seems to be rampant, in the final analysis, it is just an itch of ringworm, but if it provokes North Korea, it will become a problem for the imperial court!"

Yi Xin once again said what she meant, but Cixi surprisingly did not answer his words, but quietly picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and after a while before speaking:

"I think that part of Korea is just a foreign feudal state, and it doesn't matter much."

"Teacher!"

Wang Bogong looked at the teacher in surprise, he didn't expect the teacher to say such a thing.

"Teacher, but, if he Tang Haoran is provoked, he can't keep it, he can't keep it......"

"Crowd and work?"

Weng Tongyi shook his head and continued to practice writing on the paper, compared to the student's worries, he was at ease, he had been worried before, but after weighing it repeatedly, he found that the emperor's move was really a wonderful move.

"The local Xinjiang officials don't have the courage, Zeng Wenzheng coerced the bandits back then, but he couldn't do it, and today's Xinjiang officials don't know this reason?"

Although he knew that if the imperial court forced Tang Haoran to rebel, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Xinjiang officials, but in Weng Tongyi's opinion, this was not to be feared.

"He was born in a non-academic class in the Tang family, he has no roots in the country, and he has no reason to be a fellow student, even if he raises troops in North Korea, what can he do, and then ......"

This is precisely the foundation of Weng Tongyi's self-confidence, and the former officials of the Zeng State Domain did not dare to rebel all over the world, not to mention that he Tang Haoran, even if he raised troops to rebel, and the Korean foreign domain could destroy the overall situation of the country, and the trouble between the north and the south, the imperial court will definitely adopt the suggestion of retraining the Hunan army, and when the time comes, Li Hongzhang ......

Staring at the rain outside the window, Weng Tonggong replied categorically,

"Furthermore, this matter is quite beneficial to the dynasty, if you can break the fact that Li Hefei has controlled the military affairs of the dynasty for decades, you and I will be in the future!"

Listening to the teacher's words, Wang Bogong looked at the teacher meaningfully, even as a teacher's student, sometimes he had to be stunned by the teacher's methods.

Not to mention that Tang Haoran was recommended to the court, it was worth the time, but the teacher still did not forget to calculate one by one, just this knowledge is what he can't learn.

"Bo Gong, there are some things, we have to seize the opportunity, if we miss the opportunity, then ......"

After a pause, Weng Tongyi looked at the thoughtful student and said.

"I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life!"

For Weng Tongyi, now this is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that after some weighing, he found that he could use this matter to attack Li Hongzhang, how could he have tried to persuade the emperor from the beginning to support it, as for Tang Haoran, who only read Yangyi books, was naturally not in his consideration.

"Student understood!"

Wang Bogong replied abruptly, at this time, looking at the teacher who was practicing calligraphy, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, the reason why the teacher used Tang Zi in the Queen Mother and then recruited himself back, and cut off the connection with Tang Haoran little by little, is it for today?

(Each has a ghost, just like the First Sino-Japanese War in history, the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Hanchen Qingliu, and the local officials all have their own ghosts, and in the end, he is the only one who goes to the battlefield Li Hongzhang, and he is the only one who cleans up the situation, of course, he is the only one who bears the responsibility, this ...... It was the political situation of the late Qing Dynasty, and everyone was not thinking about the country, but about the selfish interests of one family and one family. Ask for a commuter pass!
