"Lord Li's return to the house is great news for Prince Gong. Without the Li family, even if Prince Neigong of the Military Aircraft Department does not come forward, the Westernists can still have the upper hand. "Since the start of the Westernization Movement at the end of the 10th year of Xianfeng, first the Anqing Ordnance Institute, then the Beijing Tongwen Museum, the Cantonese Dialect Museum in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and then the Jiangnan Machinery and Ware Manufacturing Bureau, which has a translation hall and the Jinling Machinery and Navigation Bureau, as well as the Mawei Ship Administration Bureau planned by Zuo Zongtang this year, the Westernization Movement can be said to be getting better.

At this time, Prince Gong, as the leader of the Westernization Movement, absolutely had to maintain his absolute dominant position in the military aircraft department, and this point was also a must for Prince Gong to ensure his status.

Therefore, whether Li Hongzao returns home and guards the system, and whether Hu Jiayu can return to the military aircraft department, is very important.

Zhang Shouyan's voice changed, "However, Master Li taught the emperor six years in the Hongde Palace, and he was most trusted by the two palaces and the emperor, so the two palaces decreed: "Li Hongzao is earnestly accepted, and the emperor is happy to obey, and he is honest and inseparable." And the military affairs are not peaceful, and the qualifications are praised", so that he followed the example of the past famous ministers, "after 100 days of filial piety, he went to the Hongde Hall to teach, and he was still walking in the military aircraft ......"

"That's love!" Liu Xian looked at Zhang Shouyan. He is not very good at classical Chinese, and can only understand the general meaning. But that's what it means, and he understands it. This is the 'love grabbing' that he often saw in historical official novels before he crossed over.

This Li Hongzao can make the two palaces make a decree to win love, and the weight is really not ordinary.

[At the end of the minister's funeral, the Qing court summoned him to his post, or ordered him not to abandon his official position, not to wear official clothes, and to govern affairs, which is called "seizing affection").

"Lord Li grabs affection, which means that people will not leave their posts and stay in the Military Aircraft Department, and Hu Jiayu cannot replace the Military Aircraft Department, so there will still be an equilibrium between the Westernists and the conservative faction."

Liu Xian nodded. Zhang Shouyan told him before who are those people in the Military Aircraft Department, who are Prince Gong? When he was one level higher, Wen Xiang and Bao Jun fought against Li Hongzao and Wang Yuanfang. Although the first two military aircraft divisions rank higher and the last two are equal.

And Liu Xian himself privately thinks that what is even more sad is that it is clear that Wenxiang and Baojun are Manchurians, and Li Hongzao and Wang Yuanfang are serious Han people, and in terms of who will represent the 'advanced nature', Wenxiang and Baojun, who have always been in the backward class, have no doubt defeated Li Hongzao and Wang Yuanfang, who have changed the 'revolutionary'.

Pathetic!

Confucianism, which has accompanied China through 2,000 years of history, should really be swept into the dust of history.

"But in this way, the position of the Han military discipline in the Military Aircraft Department is a little discordant." Zhang Shouyan has been with Liu Xian for so long, and his words have also been illuminated by the light of the river crab god. There seemed to be a sneer on his face, but when Liu Xian was about to take a closer look, Zhang Shouyan's face was already a 'teacher' again. "Li Hongzao Li and Wang Yuanfang Wang, have always been subordinate to Gaoyang, Anhui, Huizhou, are all northerners, if this Zhili Li is replaced by Hu Jiayu, a Jiangxi person, the two Han people military aircraft one south and one north, to Prince Gong Yan is the most harmonious."

The meaning of Zhang Shouyan's metaphor is understood by Liu Xian. In the Military Aircraft Department, except for Liu Yong's father and Liu Tongxun, it was the Han military aircraft that was listed before the Manchu military aircraft, and the rest of the time, they were all strong and weak.

Five-person military aircraft, three full and two Han; Six-person military aircraft, three full and three Han, but the full ranking must be in front of Han.

For the Han Minister of the Military Aircraft Department, one qiē and one qiē, ability, qualifications, place of origin, etc., can all be summarized in the word checks and balances. Especially in the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 14th year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused it to lose its vitality, and the War of the Two Crows even lost the city of Beijing, and the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens became a ruin. Now the Twist Army is still vigorous, the rebellion in the northwest and Xinjiang is in full swing, the face of the imperial court has been greatly damaged, and the dominance has plummeted even more than in the Daoguang years.

At this time, they need the word checks and balances even more for the ministers of the Han Dynasty.

The military discipline of the Han people, each of which can be said to be the hope of the world's corporal forest. Needless to say, Wang Yuanfang in Anhui can suppress Li Hongzhang's fame in Anhui, and Hu Jiayu in Jiangxi can even compete with the Hunan Gang for the first place in Jiangnan Shilin.

These, Prince Gong, and even the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, are all of great meaning.

And these three occupy the position, even if one more is lost, the Manchus will not need the new Minister of Military Aircraft. Doesn't this also cut off Zeng Guofan's way of progress?

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had reached the end of its life, but it had not yet reached the point where it was stripped of the last layer of skin after the First Sino-Japanese War, and it had not yet reached the point of emphasizing local real power and ignoring the central ministers.

Not only Prince Gong, but also the national civil and military affairs, the Military Aircraft Department is also incomparable.

Hu Jiayu is less than fifty years old, Li Hongzao is younger, and Wang Yuanfang is old, but he is old and strong, and his health is fine. Once the dust settles, it will be extremely difficult for Zeng Guofan to enter the military aircraft department in three or five years.

And in three or five years, how much will there be left of the Hunan army? Zeng Guofan, who has lost his wings, has just joined the military plane, and there is a world difference between him and the current situation.

As a result, Prince Gong's good situation was defeated by Zeng Guoquan's impeachment, Li Hongzao's matter was going on at a critical juncture, Prince Gong had the upper hand, and Hu Jiayu had to get out of the military aircraft department. And as soon as his alternate hat was removed, it was impossible to bring it back in this life.

In this case, when Prince Gong was impeached by the official envoy, he could still speak for Zeng Guoquan, so Prince Gong? It's not a human being, it's the Virgin Mary Sue.

Having said that, in fact, Zhang Shouyan's lesson to Liu Xian has just intervened in the topic.

The previous ones were all background introductions, and how Prince Gong dealt with the conservative faction on the matter of Li Hongzao's love affair was the focus of Zhang Shouyan's explanation to Liu Xian.

"Prince Gong's resourcefulness is really outstanding. Yuandu should carefully ponder the mystery in order to nourish himself. Now I tell you. ”

"It stands to reason that Prince Gong should be looking forward to the Li family going home to keep filial piety. But the two palaces rely on the Li family very much, and if they contradict each other, they will inevitably cause trouble. At this time, Prince Gong had an idea, catered to the queen mother of the two palaces, and urged the Li family to win love.

Does he really want the Li family to stay in Jingzhong? By no means.

Prince Gong wanted to get away with it, he not only wanted to pry off the Li family, but also firmly fastened the hat against the holy will on the head of the old school. ”

The Li family, and even the entire conservative faction, can also be called the diehards, all of them are singing "The way to build a country, etiquette and righteousness are not power and scheming; The fundamental plan is not in the hearts of the people, not in the skills", advocating "faithfulness as the armor, etiquette and righteousness as the trunk", to resist the master of foreign aggression. This group of people were all Confucian theorists and held on to traditional Chinese Confucian morality. In this way, it is natural and righteous for my mother to pass away and keep filial piety for three years, and it cannot be changed.

Li Hongzao must think so, and his fellow Daoists Wu Ren, Xu Tong, Song Jin and others should also hold this concept. In fact, they did the same, and they didn't think anything else just because Li Hongzao was in the position of Minister of Military Aircraft.
