Although the Queen Mother and Prince Gong practiced their hands, and suppressed the attack provoked by the Wo Ren, the Wo Ren never said a word - in fact, his left imperial history is gone, and now he can only stay in the south study to teach the Tongzhi Emperor to read, originally several people still want to teach a benevolent and virtuous benevolent monarch, never thought that the Empress Dowager had already instructed the emperor, learn his knowledge but not learn his god, the Tongzhi Emperor has long been insensitive to the brainwashing of a rotten Confucian, Xie Jing is not sensitive, often learns the text, and does not listen to the handouts, learns the words, asks doubts, and does not allow the Wo Ren, Weng Tongyi and the others took a lot of time to give lectures, either laughing with Guixiang, Zaicheng and others, or reading some other miscellaneous books, and slipped away when the time came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the teachers saw that the emperor was much more respectful than before, they never thought that the emperor didn't listen to them much about the old things in the book, and they had no choice but to have illusions, maybe the emperor would respect the teacher for so long, and he would always be able to change it back.

But the enrollment situation of the Tongwen Museum is not optimistic, on this day, Prince Gong came alone to ask to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother happened to be in Bitong Academy, and did not go to the Qinzheng Palace, and met Prince Gong in the deep shade of the courtyard of Bitong Academy, Prince Gong was like a ceremony, the eunuch palace maid served on both sides, under the shade of the tree, the heat was gone, the Queen Mother wore a dark purple embroidered white lotus Suzhou gauze robe, stood at the stone table of white marble carved passionflower, and smiled at Prince Gong, "Sixth Master, you're welcome, please sit." After speaking, he sat down first, Ande Hai tea, the Queen Mother insisted on building a porcelain rain and a sunny teapot and poured a cup for Prince Gong herself, Prince Gong hurriedly said that he didn't dare, the Queen Mother smiled, "What's this, I am the person who is most afraid of restraint, Sixth Master, you should also treat this place as if this is in your house." ”

The Empress Dowager spoke casually, but Prince Gong blushed a little when he heard it, and then responded, "I have something to tell the Empress Dowager today." ”

The Queen Mother stared, "You say." ”

"There have always been few people coming to Tongwenguan, and after so long these days, dozens of people have been recruited, all of whom are down-and-out petty officials and shadow officials of the Eight Banners, which is really annoying. At the beginning of the admissions, a certain Hanlin said to people: 'If you go to the exam, you will not be my generation, and you will be disfellowshipped.' "It can be seen that the scholars are in turmoil, and the people's hearts are not united," Prince Gong laughed at himself slightly, "Now I have the title of devil six." ”

After the argument between Yixun and Wuren, some people still attacked Yixun behind his back for "changing Xia with Yiyi", calling him a "devil", "devil six", and "six foreign devils", and scolding the prime minister's national affairs yamen in charge of him as a "ghost envoy". Others wrote such couplets: "The tricks are many, so that the small court has set up a hall of the same text; The military aircraft has no far-sightedness, and the good disciples are tempted to worship different kinds as teachers", and sneered. Some people even spread gossip and say "nonsense!" Monkey business! Teach people from Catholicism. ”

Zhou Zupei's Xixi, and Li Ciming, a famous scholar in the sea, also wrote in his diary with great dissatisfaction: This year, when the Tongwen Museum was opened, "those who choose Hanlin and his members to learn to walk from the branch A and under the age of Chinese New Year's Eve will be regarded as Chinese Confucian subjects, but as ugly students. The cover is not clear, the etiquette and righteousness are lost, and the scholars are despicable, so it is so. Taming generals are not goodbye, humanity is degraded, and the worries of the family and country are not to be discussed. The old court withered, and only the widow (倭仁) remained, but he was blunt and lonely, incapable of correcting, and he was still jealous of the ruling and disgraced in the court. ”

Although the Queen Mother was prepared, she never thought that the resistance would be so great, and the Queen Mother was surprised: "How can this be?" It's really hateful," then comforted Prince Gong, "The sixth master doesn't have to worry, he is a mediocre talent who is not envied by others, and he is a little vain, do we still need these things in this position?" There is no need to pay attention to it, as long as the palace is in the palace, it must be carried out," the Empress Dowager Cixi said categorically, "The Military Aircraft Department has drawn up the will to explain: 'Middle school is the body, Western learning is for use', which is used to calm people's hearts, and in addition, it must also be made clear that the matter of foreign affairs will never be shaken." ”

"Yes." When Prince Gong heard the queen mother's meaning, a big stone in his heart couldn't help but fall lightly, and his expression was much more relaxed, "But the matter of Tongwenguan is really difficult to deal with, and the Military Aircraft Department has thought of a way, next year Enke is coming, it is better to let Enke Jinshi enter the Tongwen Pavilion to study for a few days, in order to show that the imperial court likes the meaning of Tongwenguan." ”

"That's fine." The Queen Mother thought for a while and nodded, "How to go, those people go, how long they go, what to learn from the main thing, this must be a good thing, sixth master, you will go to the fold again, Mingfa." Prince Gong responded, and the Queen Mother thought again, "But Enke will not record until next year, this time is delayed, the daylilies are cold, this can be used as reinforcements in the future, but it can't be used as a starting shot, if everything is not the first to take the lead, this momentum will inevitably be suppressed." The Queen Mother pondered for a while, but she couldn't think of any way, could it be that she could use an administrative order to force people to sign up? If this is the case, wouldn't it be forced to press the cow to drink water, which is completely inconsistent with her own governing philosophy of spring breeze and rain and moisturizing things silently, the queen mother can't think of it, so she gave up, "This matter, put it aside for now, just wait a few days, if you have any good ideas, tell me again."
