The young bachelor Bahai's "crazy words" of "regardless of Manchu and Chinese, Chinese and foreign, only meritocracy and appointment" once again caused waves in the imperial meeting of the Yugong Palace, and it is destined to be the most ferocious!

If you talk about the mood of the five Hanchen at this time, I am afraid that Tang Ruowang is the same, it is the same feeling - moved!

Not to mention the Han people, even if he was respected by Emperor Fu Lin as a "national teacher" and the general "Tongxuan teacher" Tang Ruowang, his heart is also very sober - since entering China, especially since Shiqing, although he has been highly valued by the royal family, it is an occasional small probability event, only for himself as a special case, not for all the priests. If it weren't for the abolition of Concubine Jing who had an emergency cold, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai sent Su Mala to find herself, the only priest in the inner city at that time, if it weren't for the fact that the little queen was in a strong body, she would have become a guest of the emperor's family and the emperor's "grandfather"! Maybe I don't know when I wake up one day, many clergy, as "people from the west" and not my race, will have different hearts, and they will be driven off the altar and thrown down to the ocean!

Therefore, Tang Lao Mafa, who seems to have infinite scenery, is actually trying to survive in the cracks all the time, and the difficulties in the process can only be self-aware. It was the first time that a Manchu Chen said such heart-warming words, how could he not be moved? However, John Tang, a sinologist who was well aware of the current political environment, wisely adopted the same countermeasures as all Hanchens - to remain silent and wait for changes.

But among several Manchu ministers, some people took the lead in attacking.

"Zhekune, you are still a Manchurian Jinshi and a bachelor of the Inner Academy of History! After all, I am still young, and I don't know that the inheritance of my ancestors is not easy to come by! Could it be that you have lost all the testaments of Taizu and Taizong outside the customs! "First of all. It is the young protector and the crown prince Taibao Jue Luo Bahana. I saw that he was fifty years old and his body trembled slightly, and he directly pointed to the old table on the left under the throne, and glared fiercely at the young Orikune.

"That's it! Lord Shaobao is right! This is what the Han people call 'forgetting your ancestors'! I even forgot the first national policy of 'worshipping Manchuria'! Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, a Manchu minister followed up, and his words were even more heartbreaking! Hongyi looked over, and sure enough, it was Guo Ke, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was almost as "young" as Zhekune.

"Your Majesty, can the slave defend himself?" Instead of talking to the two, he turned to Fulin for advice.

"Zhekune, since Jueluo Bahana said that you have forgotten all the teachings of Taizu Taizong, this is a serious crime. You are allowed to defend yourself. It's hard to say. I can't protect you! Fulin instructed with an expressionless face.

Tuhai below seemed to have an epiphany, and actually looked up at the emperor who spoke ambiguously. Hongyi saw that in addition to Tuhai, there were also three people, including Jueluo Langqiu, Kadahun, and Ming'an Dali. Of course, it also includes all five Hanchen on the other side. The rest. It is mainly the five people of Kyaw Lo Bahana, Enged, Wu Bai, Guo Ke and Kyaw Luo Kolkun. didn't take the emperor's ambiguous attitude to heart at all, but kept staring at Zhekune angrily!

Another-for-tat game will be staged at this Imperial Council, but. The protagonists of this scene should be several Manchurian ministers.

"Slave Leader Thanks!" Zhekune got up from the ground and said unhurriedly:

"The lower official has something unclear, ask Mingtang." The "Ming Hall" mentioned by Zhekune refers to the Ming Andali, who has been the secretary of the military department.

"Oh, Bachelor, just speak!" Ming Andali boldly accepted.

"Thank you, Mingtang. This year, you led the army to break the Rakshasa and raise the majesty of my eight banners. Can you please tell me honestly that this is a great victory, but it is my Eight Banners soldiers alone? ”

"Well...... Ming'an Dali was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly looked for the emperor's guidance.

"Ming Andali, all the people in today's meeting are my important ministers, you can answer truthfully." Fulin is very generous.

"Huh! The battle of Humar is indeed not my work of the Eight Banners. If it weren't for the 100 Korean spearmen brought by Shahrhuda, the war might have been delayed...... However, I have the military orders and best policies of the emperor and the second son of the emperor, which is to blindly adopt the siege strategy, and also let those Rakshasa bandits starve to death in Humar without landing! Ming Andali said truthfully.

"Thank you, Mingtang!" Zhekuna bowed and saluted, and his gestures already had the elegance of a scholar of the Han family.

"Your Majesty, the slave must first ask for guilt." Orikune once again bowed to the emperor.

"Oh? Tell me first, and then I will determine whether you are guilty or not. "Fulin behaved calmly.

"Huh. The son of the slave and Shaerhuda, the current Ningguta Zhangjingbahai, was originally the second or third of the first class of the Renchen Branch Manchuria in the ninth year of Shunzhi, which was regarded as the same year. Therefore, they often have personal friendships and often exchange letters. So the minions learned some of the reasons for the battle of Humar. This should not have been known to the minions, so they pleaded guilty. Zhekune also told him frankly.

"Oh, I see. You and Bahai are both in the same family, so it is not an exaggeration to cherish each other. Not only that, but I also know that you and the first name Maleji[1] are also extremely important, and this is what Maleji himself told me. You are all close to me, and it is rare for you to be so honest with me and forgive you for your innocence. Let's move on. ”

The blessing of the sinicization is quite prohibited, and it is not surprising that the "old habits" of "apprenticing teachers and recognizing friends" between the same Kehan people and the Gongshi have long been strange, although it is expressly prohibited, but the human feelings are sophisticated, and the ban can't be stopped. So he waved his hand generously and signaled, "It's not a big deal!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Ronne! Bahai only told the minions that although Korea is a small country and has many unbearable problems, its shotguns do have something to use and can be used by our DPRK. The slave thinks, the so-called 'gold is not enough, no one is perfect', and there is even a saying that 'the inch is long, and the ruler is short'. Although I am the first in the world in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, I can't do everything, otherwise I can only be arrogant and defeated. If it weren't for that, how could Taizu Taizong attach importance to the power of artillery? Emperor Taizong personally supervised the construction of sixty red-coated cannons and won the Battle of Songjin in one fell swoop. If not, how could the red-clothed cannon become a sharp weapon for me to settle the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty? The Eight Banners are alone in the world, and their root is naturally riding and shooting, but it is also the only way to use the strengths of the world's weapons for my use. Only in this way can the Qing Dynasty prosper for a long time. ”

"Well, Guo Ke. The artillery calendar is indeed one of the testaments of Taizu Taizong, and it seems that Zhekune is not a person who has forgotten his ancestors! Fu Lin smiled and teased the Ministry of Works, but before he could speak, he immediately continued:

"Go on, Ori Kune." Fu Lin thought to himself: These days, people have been serving as a Japanese speaker, but they have said a lot to me, and I also agree, it depends on whether you accept it or not!

"Huh! Therefore, our Qing Dynasty has the ambition to tolerate the strengths of the world, so that the North Korean soldiers who are good at shotguns will help to quell the bandits. There will be the return of the Alba. Of course. After the strict control of military supplies, coupled with the help of Lord Tang, Bellor's firearms battalion, Alba people's leaders, etc., the minions believed that it would not be long after. In front of my Qing firearms. The North Koreans' housekeeping skills are nothing. But. Since I can use the strengths of the Koreans for my use, Weishenme can't let the people from the West and the former Ming and Han people, who have always been proficient in firearms, also serve in the army? If you are serving, it is better to be regardless of your ethnic origin. Only ask to make achievements, but also to let talents come out, let me prosper! After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed, and the sound was in his ears.

"Okay, get up. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? "Fu Lin smiled at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that he is confusing the public and bewitching the emperor, and his crimes will not be forgiven!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Enged took a step forward and also touched the ground with his head.

"Get up and speak, today's meeting, don't kneel anymore in the back, stand and talk." Fulin was silent.

"Huh!" After Enged got up, his anger did not subside, and he began to "bombard" Zhekune:

"Although the Han people used to be good at firearms, didn't I know the benefits and disadvantages of them before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and made good use of them? Even if it was mainly imitated by the red-clothed cannons offered by Kong Youde and other Han ministers back then, did I also reward meritorious deeds and crown several meritorious Han people one by one? Isn't that enough? Nowadays, there is a Han army in the Eight Banners, supplemented by a green battalion, which is the way out for those Han people to serve the court and serve the emperor. Once the national policy of worshipping Manchuria is broken, and our Manchurian people are insufficient, in time, will the Qing Dynasty become Han Chinese? Your Majesty, Zhekune is ill-intentioned, and he is willing to be a Han eagle dog, and he should be killed! ”

As soon as Engde's words came out, Zhekune was not doing much, but Liu Chang in Hanchen rushed out of class and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, although the ministers are Han ministers, they have already served Manchuria as Zhengshuo, and the ministers naturally swear allegiance to the emperor, and they have no heart to be disobedient! The emperor ......" as if he was about to cry.

"Liu Chang, you get up first. Didn't I just say it, and they all stood and replied! Fu Lin knew the key point of what Engde said, and he knew more clearly that a group of Hanchen were now the pillars of the court, and no one on either side could give it up. But Fulin really didn't expect that if he wanted to reuse Hanchen, he would encounter such great resistance and opposition from Manchu Chen, and even individual Hanchen like Liu Chang didn't dare to come forward, and he was a little discouraged for a while.

"Enged, Zhekune, I know that your good intentions are all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. This matter ......" Fu Lin paused for a moment, ready to stop there.

"Huang Ama, the 'son and slave' has something to say." Xuan Ye on the side suddenly turned around and bowed, but did not kneel.

"Xuan Ye, what a 'son slave'! What are you? Fu Lin couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so let's take out his son's anger!

"Back to Emperor Ama's words, Xuan Ye participated in the meeting today according to the order, but he didn't know whether he was discussing politics as a 'minister' or a 'son' studying politics, so he used both titles, so as not to be punished by Emperor Ama." Xuan Ye deliberately said a paragraph of nonsense, the purpose was to use the huge attraction of "nonsensical" to divert everyone's attention from the topic just now.

Sure enough, those fierce Manchu ministers didn't expect that the prince of the Qing Dynasty hadn't even figured out the difference between the most basic courtiers and minions, and they all looked at the emperor with wide eyes, and it was not good to continue to criticize Kune for a while.

"Hehe, Xuan Ye, you are still a nurse after all. I'm here to tell you, minions aren't that easy to do. When I was the king of the world, the former Ming courtiers came and returned one after another, but some people proposed what 'to call the minister not a slave', and the regent of the Nine Kings Dolgon, naturally readily agreed. Naturally, I understand the reason. In the eyes of the Han people, to be a slave is to be lowly and to lose face. In fact, how do they Han people know that the people who can call themselves slaves in Manchuria are not those ordinary people. To become a 'minion' of the Aixin Jueluo family, you must be a slave! Fu Lin turned to explain patiently, seemingly facing Xuan Ye, but in fact facing several Manchu courtiers.

"Oh, Erchen understands. In other words, the Han people call themselves ministers, so they actually save face, but in our royal family, they are naturally alienated. Manchu people call themselves slaves, which seems to be self-deprecating in the eyes of the Han people, but in fact, they are close. Hongyi pretended to wake up.

"Hehe, Xuan Ye is smart!" With a hasty compliment, Fu Lin was ready to fulfill his duties as a moderator and turn the imperial meeting to the main topic - let's study the Korean issue and military supplies!

"In that case, isn't the disagreement between Enged and Zhekune easily resolved, Emperor Amma?" Hongyi seized the opportunity and hurriedly replenished.

Watch me take advantage of the situation and change the day!

[1] Maleji (?) —1689), Han name Ma Zhongji [It can be seen that at the beginning of the Qing court, even if it was the champion of Manchuria, he was also in "Muhan]. Su Wan Guerjia, a native of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, was the first Manchurian champion of the Qing Dynasty, and served as a bachelor, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and the commander of the infantry army. He also participated in the compilation and revision of the sacred precepts of Taizu and Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, and was one of the drafters of the edict of the Qing dynasty.
