In the palace of nourishing the heart, the Empress Dowager Cixi once again began to discuss with the Minister of Military Aircraft, the matter in Berlin is not the most urgent matter now, after all, the process of the international conference will be surprisingly slow, especially when many countries have different intentions, and now there is no voting mechanism of the United Nations, and the principle of minority obeying the majority cannot be adopted, so without this principle, it can only be quarrel, and quarrel to solve the problem.

The attention of the country is still in those few things, the most urgent is the personnel arrangement, the Empress Dowager Cixi has not let go, so naturally it is impossible to discuss, the most critical issue of the governor of Zhili, but since the matter of training and government has been decided, the queen mother seems to have been relieved, rest assured that these people will still be loyal to her, so after the military aircraft saluted, she simply said, "The positions of the ministers and the governors of Zhili have been decided today!" ”

"Yes," Prince Li hurriedly said, he originally intended Zai Ling to release the governor of Zhili, but now Li Hongzhang danced very happily, and his fold of asking the Queen Mother to continue to hang the curtain shows that he is still the Queen Mother's first confidant, and he is also a saint, no matter how Zai Ling is, he can't compare to Li Hongzhang, so it is foreseeable that Zai Ling will not be able to compete for the position of Governor of Zhili, and after Wang Wenshao, it is foreseeable that the southerners will continue to hold this position, "Please ask the Queen Mother to make a decision and choose one person as the Governor of Zhili." ”

Judging from the appointment of the governor of Zhili in the late Qing Dynasty, those who did not play much role in short-term care and acting care were actually performing their duties and governing and had a certain influence, including Qi Shan, Naer Jing'e, Gui Liang, Tan Tingxiang, Qingqi, Hengfu, Wen Yu, Liu Changyou, Zeng Guofan, Wang Wenshao and others. Among the seven people before Liu Changyou, except for Tan Tingxiang, the rest were Manchu and Mongolian nobles. This is by no means accidental, it should be said that it is closely related to the prejudice and ruling strategy of the imperial court, and the hidden meaning can be guessed: the ruler of the Zhili is like the "gatekeeper" of the royal family, and the most reliable choice is from the Manchu and Mengqin nobles.

However, after all, this matter is not subject to the will of those in power, and changes in the objective situation, especially the pattern of the growth and decline of factional forces within the country, are more important constraints. One of the most influential things is that in the process of suppressing rebellions and handling foreign affairs for decades, the military and political groups of Hunan and Huai within the imperial court have risen. The appointment of important officials of the two major military and political groups as governors has become a conspicuous phenomenon in the pattern of political power redistribution in the DPRK.

Prince Li said let the Empress Dowager Cixi choose one person, this is the same as the last time he was selected as the Minister of Military Aircraft, select a few places for the Empress Dowager to choose, this is a very boiled system, the list of candidates for the Minister of Ministers, is equivalent to the military aircraft Department of public recommendation, comprehensive consideration of many factors, such as resume, the governor of Zhili at least has to hold a lot of positions, if there are ministries, localities, foreign affairs, military and political affairs, it is the best, if there are a few, at least the identity should be noble, such as Zai Ling, is the clan, this is a plus; There is also age, the governor of Zhili is known as the "head of the governor of the world" The affairs are complicated beyond people's imagination, and the affairs are about busier than any of the six departments, and even in the past, Zeng Guofan had the nickname of "small military aircraft department", if an old person, it will definitely not be able to cope with such complicated and important affairs, so those over seventy years old are not considered, and the court members over seventy years old, generally speaking, unless it is particularly favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi, such as Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan and others, generally arrange to go to some not very busy yamen, For example, the Ministry of Rites or the Cabinet, the Cabinet is everyone's favorite place to go, the title of the University Scholar, can be justifiably called "Lord Zhongtang" by the people below, the status is noble, the work is very noble, not to repair the records of the previous dynasty, or to engage in some classics with the Hanlin Academy to show the prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty, no one will say anything if you don't go to the office, Hengzhi is a respected minister, what is absenteeism?

People who are too young and too young are not successful, and people who are too old and lack of energy are also not successful, so there are only a handful of people who can be selected, in fact, in terms of merit and qualifications, Li Hongzhang is indeed the most suitable candidate, sure enough, the big guy listened to the Queen Mother with his ears sideways and said, "Li Hongzhang has done a good job in the governorship of mountains and rivers, and the position of the governor of Zhili is very important. It's not a powerful person with the means to be the governor of Taiwan, I don't worry, Wang Wenshao returned to Beijing, so let Li Hongzhang be the one. ”

In such a word, Li Hongzhang has become the head of the world's governors, which is something to be congratulated, you must know that Zuo Zongtang has never been the governor of Zhili in the past, "However, this position is not how easy to sit on, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how many people are staring," Empress Dowager Cixi's tone did not know why, as if she was a little gloating, "Since he has become this governor, the first thing he will do is to go directly to Shandong, and the railway to Shanxi must be repaired for me first." ”

"Huh."

"Zai Ling is good at being an errand in the Ministry of Rites of the Zongren Mansion, the position of the governor of mountains and rivers is vacant, just give it to him," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, this is a trade-off, but also a kind of reward, in the past, through Wang Kaiyun and Li Lianying to Zai Ling asked him to help him in the reform of the Eight Banners, of course, now almost take down this reform, the credit is quite large, naturally to be rewarded, Chongqi went to Outer Mongolia as the governor, Zai Ling naturally has to be released, suddenly become a book, this is too exaggerated, this is not the time before, the clan wants to ascend to the sky in one step, It is unlikely, so the Empress Dowager Cixi waited for the vacated position of Li Hongzhang to be given to Zai Ling, "Young people have experience and experience, and they will be of great use in a few years." ”

The two local dignitaries have been arranged, then the people in the court have arranged it very calmly, and several people such as the Shangshu Shilang in the court have been selected by the military aircraft, not the difference in choice, the Empress Dowager Cixi is very happy, and they all agreed, not to monopolize everything, but also to let the people under them arrange some positions by themselves, if they are all decided by themselves, first, there is not so much energy, and secondly, it also violates the ruling concept of the Empress Dowager Cixi to grasp the key points and grasp the overall situation, and third, let the big guys enjoy the fruits of development. It can all be arranged by my own people, or Cixi's meaning is very clear, that is, as long as they work for me, they are their own people.

Erle and Bu played again, "The Empress Dowager wants to change the Minister of Trade of Korea, and the Ministry of War has already made an excerpt, and it has been agreed that Yuan Shikai will be reinstated and continue to serve as the Minister of Trade and Trade of Korea." (To be continued.) )
