39. Misfortune Leads to the East (2)

"Abandoning the clan relatives, excluding the Eight Banners, refusing to respect the prince is equivalent to a military plane thousands of miles away, and then offending the monks and other important ministers in the army, how can you not die?"

After Gao Xinkui finished speaking, no one spoke in the inner hall for a while, and after a while, "Gao Xinkui, you also missed a person, why didn't you talk about the main palace?" The Queen Mother said leisurely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, the most important thing is to offend the Queen Mother, so that the first emperor could not see the Queen Mother for the last time when he was dying, and excluded the Queen Mother from the government, which is really the biggest mistake. The Queen Mother is the wife of the first emperor, and she has today, when she is young this year, the Queen Mother naturally has the responsibility to take care of political affairs, and Su Shun is unwilling to share the power in her hands, so she is defeated. ”

"Then what do you think of Hongu now?"

"The most different thing between the Queen Mother and Su Shun is that she gives up the right to divide the shares."

"Why? Isn't it the practice of the dynasty that the monarch has always monopolized power? 'The political authority of the court is from the top, not the income of the subordinates, and the distinction between the monarch and the minister in our dynasty is extremely strict, especially not comparable to the previous dynasty. This is the fold of the curtain of the Katsubo initiative back then, and the palace is deeply convinced. ”

"The behavior of the Queen Mother, although Weichen is far away in the south, has also been carefully figured out."

"Presumptuous!" An Dehai suddenly shouted, and his sharp voice echoed in the empty hall, "Speculating on the king, it's disrespectful!" ”

Gao Xinkui leaned down, but he didn't speak, the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Gao Xinkui's appearance carefully, didn't notice anything unusual, and spoke, "It's okay, this is in the side hall, and there is no minister who leads the audience, Gao Xinkui, you can speak freely." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, the biggest difference between the Empress Dowager and Su Shun, is naturally that the Empress Dowager understands the reason why everyone carries the sedan chair, and the Prince Gong is the king of the government, and the general government is in charge of the government, which is a reward, and the people in the military aircraft department are all Gong Party, and the Empress Dowager should not interfere much in the government and politics, even Jingcha also let Prince Gong do it, and the governor of the two provinces was newly established, but only two chief officials, in addition to Li Hongzhang is the empress dowager's cronies, Mu Yang'a is the banner man, and the father of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, in addition, other second- and third-grade high-ranking officials have been handed over to the military aircraft, "Gao Xinkui smiled," It's rare to suddenly have so many high-ranking officials of the third grade. ”

"What's more, although the Queen Mother wants to strictly investigate those who abandon Beijing and flee, she is also ready to open up Enke, recruit wise men, depose the vacated official positions in Jingcha, and share the profits of various forces in the court, so that the position of the Queen Mother is more and more worry-free."

"Although there are no internal worries, there are still external troubles."

"Yes, so the Queen Mother listens to the government when she comes to the court, and the first thing to focus on is military affairs, building a martyr's shrine for the martyrs, ordering warships to defend the sea frontier, and declaring force to the vassals, which is really well-intentioned."

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, this Gao Xinkui is really witty, worthy of being the think tank of Su Shun back then, "This military affairs is the top priority, you are right, so military affairs are the first important thing in the palace, speaking of which, the palace is going to test you, do you think that Shi Dakai can surrender?" ”

Gao Xinkui thought slightly, "Then it depends on the meaning of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother wants to never suffer from future troubles, then it is naturally a hundred killed, if the Queen Mother wants to make the best use of people, this good steel is still used on the blade." ”

"I want to use him to continue to lead troops and pacify the twisted army of Shanxi, Henan, and Shanxi for me, what do you think?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Weichen thinks it is impossible, the twist army and the reverse have always been in deep collusion, when in Anhui Province, the leader of the twist army was subject to the rebellion of the king, if Shi Dakai went to exterminate the twist army, unwilling to exterminate it, I am afraid that it is the same stream, embarrassed and treacherous, but for the northwest and add more trouble to China."

"Then what do you think is going to do with this Shi Dakai? Hongu wants to live. The Queen Mother smiled, she made up her mind, since this Gao Xinkui dared to come to Mao Sui to recommend himself, he really has the ability to stand out, who wants to talk less to the government, in addition to being not very proficient, there is no one in the entrainment is not the most important thing? Except for these few nepotistic people, people like Qinghai, Mu Yang'a, Wu Yundi and others, there is no one available, and those foreign affairs people still don't know where to go, so there is almost no manpower available, since Gao Xinkui has found himself, this person is naturally available. You don't have to be loyal or not, as long as he can give advice, what he lacks now is someone who gives opinions, and now it seems that Gao Xinkui's interview performance is very successful.

"I heard that Shi Dakai is the most loyal, it is better to imprison the puppet young king in Beijing, order Shi Dakai to conquer outside, and then order Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and others to rotate, so that it can be controlled for thousands of miles, since Shi Dakai is not suitable for domestic counterinsurgency, so he has to be used outside, Weichen thinks that it is extremely useful to deal with Russia in the north, or to deter the Dzungar Department that is about to move." Gao Xinkui said, "This is Weichen's shallow opinion, please consider it for the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother didn't speak for a long time, and the palace returned to silence, and the Queen Mother took a deep look at Gao Xinkui, "What you said is reasonable, since you have found the palace, presumably because you have not stayed in the south for a long time, I greatly appreciate the generosity of Duke Qi Huan to Guan Zhong back then, even if Su Shun dared to send someone to assassinate me back then, I would not want his life, just because he had meritorious service to the dynasty back then, so, Gao Xinkui, do you want to stay in Beijing?"
