8. Curtain removal turmoil (3)
I don't know how the Queen Mother suddenly remembered the prince of North Korea, to be honest, the Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't know how many government affairs she has to deal with every day, and the prince of a mere Korean country is nothing at all, but as soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi said this, the big guy knew why she thought of this prince.

It is because of the vassal states over the years, in addition to the domestic students will come to China to study for exams, the heirs of various countries, that is, the so-called princes, must go to China to study, one is to accompany the emperor to study, the second is to study Chinese rituals, and the third is to give the vassal states a reassurance, as long as they accompany the emperor to study, they will naturally get the support of China, like the Sulu lord was like this, the current lord of the country sent the prince over early, and the current king of Vietnam, Le Daoyuan, It is to raise the young son directly in Beijing, but it is North Korea, again and again, again and again, the orders of the Faculty and the Ministry of Rites are like nothing, under the pretext of the weak health of the prince, repeatedly delayed, the Empress Dowager Cixi values these vassal states the most, these princes not only have to accompany the emperor to study, but also to serve as a military officer, although it is not **** summoned, but also from time to time to ask them, the northwest and southwest vassal states and internal vassals are all there, even the three khanates outside Kokand, are also in a hurry to send the heir over, As long as they stay in China, Russia's aggressive actions against them will be somewhat restrained, and the country will be able to get a respite, but it is North Korea that has not sent people.
"Yes, this is the fault of the Ministry of Rites," Zhang Zhiwan said with apologies, "Several countries in East Asia, only the Ryukyus, Vietnam, North Korea and our Qing Dynasty are the same text, and these three vassal countries should have had the closest relationship in the first place, and this is all the failure of the Ministry of Rites." ”
"Then make another decree, let the prince of Joseon enter Beijing as soon as possible, and don't forget the identity of the vassal state," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, and there was enough time to discuss the Korean issue today, so she didn't talk about it anymore, "The emperor's draft, King Li, you take care of it more," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "It is not limited to the Eight Banners Show Girl, if the rest are good, they can also be selected first, just don't make a fuss and make a big splash, and initially look for it in the homes of officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court, and take a look." ”
"Yes," Prince Li was quite concerned about this matter, "I have already sent the ceremonial grandmothers in the palace to check and visit everywhere, choose a list of primary selections, and then enter the palace to ask the queen mother to check." ”
"And the emperor, check it too," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "In that case, then let's do it, you all kneel down." ”
"Daughter," in the Anhui Guild Hall, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard his daughter say this, "People are naturally selfish, this is unavoidable, and your father is naturally not a saint, hey." ”
"Depending on who he is, he naturally has selfishness," Ju Couple said, "So this selfishness, the Queen Mother naturally can tolerate it, the Queen Mother herself also has selfishness, what is my father going to do?" ”
"What should I do?" Li Hongzhang was stunned, "Could it be that the selfishness of the Queen Mother has been seen through by you again?" ”
"I don't have anything to see through," Li Ju said with a smile, "My daughter is just a woman, how can she be a strategist?" ”
Li Hongzhang smiled dumbly, "You are still selling Guanzi for your father, okay, I know that you want to go to the women's school in Beijing to see the world, you have been in Shandong before, it is not good to come, this time, if you help the old father figure out the affairs of the queen mother, your father will let you go to play for a few days, and he will not restrict you, play as you want, how about it?" ”
"That's what you said," Ju Couple clapped his hands and laughed, "The eldest husband is hard to chase after him, father, you are a dignified official of the frontier, the princes of the Central Plains, and you are not allowed to deny it." ”
"Nature promises."
"How much can a daughter know about court and politics, but she just followed her father and served in the signing room, and she learned some of the inside information, this is her daughter's guess, but you might as well tell your father about it," Ju Coupling went around Li Hongzhang's back, gently pinched his shoulder, and whispered, "Although the queen mother has been hanging the curtain for many years, but in the end she is still a woman, and her daughter wants to use a woman's mind to speculate rashly, the queen mother raised the emperor since childhood, but in the end it is not biological, this is the most important relationship, The women in the countryside who have passed on their children are still worried, whether this child will be filial in the future, whether he will support himself, the queen mother is also a woman, and the emperor is not biological, won't the queen mother think so? ”
"That's the case," Li Hongzhang was slightly surprised, "I'm just afraid that it won't happen, right?" ”
"Father, you also have a son who has returned to the sect, and the eldest brother is, how can you tell the difference?"
Li Hongzhang is middle-aged and childless, so he inherited a nephew from his brother, as his son, but he didn't expect that this succession seems to have attracted a lot of children and grandchildren, and sent several sons in a row, and the youngest also got a smart chrysanthemum couple, talking about himself, Li Hongzhang thought about it and shook his head, "I have no difference between your brothers and eldest brothers, they all treat them equally." ”
"Our family is different from the emperor's family, even if you are powerful, you can't say that your governor's position is left to a few brothers, but the heavenly family is different, after the queen mother withdraws the curtain, the power is in the hands of the emperor, not to mention whether the queen mother wants to continue to manage the affairs outside, but if it is, I say something disrespectful, what if the emperor is not filial to the queen mother?"
"Yes," Li Hongzhang nodded, "I forgot about this layer, daughter, what you said is very true, "Li Hongzhang is the essence of the human spirit, how can he not know the truth of this, sure enough, from the position of the queen mother is a woman, this matter is not wrong at all, Chinese history is so long, these examples are too many to list (this easy to associate thing is really bad), I want Emperor Jiajing to inherit the unification of Emperor Zhengde from other vassal princes, Emperor Zhengde's old lady, Emperor Hongzhi's Empress Zhang, It can be regarded as a noble empress dowager, even if Emperor Jiajing is unwilling to inherit the son of Emperor Hongzhi, but is willing to call him the emperor's uncle, Empress Zhang's own brother committed an accident, kneeling and pleading with Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing ignored it and directly executed Empress Zhang's younger brother, Emperor Jiajing only recognized his biological mother, but not this aunt, Empress Zhang was even more desolate in her later years, and died alone.
There are really many lessons from the past, and there are stories such as the Song Dynasty's Shenzong Zhezong, who is not a biological emperor. So sometimes it's really not good to have too much history.
