The two of them were talking about things that had nothing to do with today's "Book of Rites" course, and the emperor listened very seriously, "Master Weng's words are very true, my father has been tired for so many years, and I want to give birth to a good life and let her live for a long time," the emperor got up slowly, looked at the weather outside, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather in Beijing was rainy, it rained for a while yesterday, and the sky was cloudy again, and there was a muffled thunder in the distance, and obviously there were showers coming, "I used to follow Master Weng's intentions, and my father proposed to repair Qingyi Garden well, Let my father have a new garden to visit in the future, but my father doesn't seem to care much," the emperor looked at the wet beast head on the eaves through the window, it was about to rain, and the beast head made of glass was already covered with dew, he turned around and looked at Weng Tonghe, "When I was listening to the play in Prince Li's mansion, I said that I was not in a hurry to do this." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The queen mother said that she is not in a hurry, then this matter still has some effect, at least the emperor's proposal, the emperor's filial piety, the queen mother still sees it." Weng Tonghe continued, "But the minister also said that even if the emperor repaired Qingyi Garden, the queen mother would not move there immediately, and the minister's words came true." ”

"This matter is said by Master Weng, but what is the reason for this? What my father thinks in his heart, can you guess Master Weng? ”

"There is a military aircraft department in the Old Summer Palace," Weng Tonghe said lightly, "This is not in the Qingyi Garden." ”

The emperor's eyebrows jumped suddenly, "Master Weng, what are you talking about...... That's a bit too much. ”

Emperor Guangxu was a little dissatisfied, he understood the meaning of these words, but he was not happy to listen to this, and he didn't know what would happen if he delved into it, Weng Tonghe looked at the emperor's expression, and hurriedly said, "This is just a villain's heart, speculating about the belly of the Western Sage, it really can't be true, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

"This is just a small talk between me and your master and apprentice, not a serious matter," Emperor Guangxu shook his head and continued, "It doesn't hurt if you don't say it, my father has worked hard and made great achievements, this is absolutely wrong, I only have the meaning of filial piety and respect as a son, and I will never have any other ideas, let's talk about this matter of choosing a concubine after the election." Emperor Yingzong's empress was born in the Mongolian Eight Banners, which is a rare thing in a hundred years. ”

"This is the result of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yingzong's clear vision and proper planning." Weng Tongyi continued, "Chongqi is the champion, first of all, this is a sign of respect for scholars, and later Empress Xiaozhe is indeed extremely proficient in poetry and books, and her personality is gentle, and she is indeed the mother of the world." ”

"This is one point, the second is that after the queen mother hung the curtain, Russia has been aggressive in the northwest and northern Xinjiang, after the withdrawal of troops from Britain and France, Russia did not get benefits, so it held a grudge, and for the sake of our vassal state, first invaded Kazakhstan, and then coerced Kokand, instigated Agubo and Bai Yanhu to make rebellion in Western Xinjiang, it has always been the case, and Chongqi's most important identity, as the emperor said, is the Mongolian Eight Banners, Mongolian Tribes, Monan Desert, North Moxi, and Qinghai Mongolia, these Mongolians used to be because of the policy of reducing Ding, The power has declined a lot, otherwise according to the previous momentum of the Mongol tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Aguba would not have made such a big noise. ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded, "That's true, my father said that if it weren't for the three generations of Kang Yongqian's ancestors and ancestors who continued to use troops in the northwest, then Xinjiang would definitely not be owned by China, but it was because they killed too many Mongols in Moxi in the past, so the rebellion in the northwest can be bigger. ”

"Yes, since the monk king entered Beijing to serve to quell the rebellion of Hongyang, the strategy of reducing Ding, except for the tribes that had rebelled in Moxi Mongolia such as Geerdan and Zhuo in the past, the rest of the Mongolian Eight Banners actually no longer use this strategy. After the Agu Bai rebellion, the rebellious Mongols have been all wiped out, and the rest of the Moxi Mongolia, as well as the Turhu Special Department, have raised troops to surround Agu Bai, and then helped Kokand to restore the country, showing loyalty to the imperial court, so the Mongolian Eight Banners of the policy of reducing Ding has been canceled in the eleventh year of Tongzhi, this is to reward the merits, and in Xinjiang can not let any of them do big again, in addition to thinking about the Mongols out, to prevent Russia in the north. For the sake of this, although it has nothing to do with who is the queen, most of the Mongols believe that it is the credit of Empress Xiaozhe to persuade Emperor Yingzong, and she has done her best more and more, and the battle of Beihai in the past, if there is no Mongols to help transport grain and grass and spy on intelligence, it can not advance so fast, so Empress Xiaozhe set up an excellent position, and set up a queen to collect the heart of the northern Xinjiang and the northwest thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and then Chongqi was able to serve as the governor of Uriya Sutai, Rao is he is a civil servant, and he can also be on the horse to manage the army and dismount the people in northern Xinjiang, This is the legacy of Empress Hyo-chul. ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded, "What Master Weng meant, I understand, after the establishment is not to set up a favorite of yourself, but to be able to share the worries of the country." Is that what it means? ”

"It's this reason, ordinary people marry daughters-in-law, they have to see if they can take care of housework, whether they can honor their in-laws, after the establishment of the heavenly family, it is not their own private matter, this is a major matter of the country, who is the queen, it is also a weather vane, the palace is circulating, saying that the queen mother originally intended the imperial concubine to be the queen, can the emperor know the intention of this?"

Emperor Guangxu pondered, "Emperor Ying's concubine is a citizen, and after the martyrs, she was raised by the Fujin of Gilhang'a, which is to show the meaning of the heavenly family's respect for the martyrs, and it is also to announce it to the army." ”

Weng Tongyi nodded and said, "That's what it means, there is about the meaning of the Manchu and Han families, of course, since the reform of the Eight Banners, there is no need to repeat this family." ”

"The Manchu and Han families don't need to say anything about this," Emperor Guangxu said with a smile, "Renzong's mother, Empress Xiaochun, is a Han Chinese, but she is just carrying the flag." ”

"Yes, the emperor will be in charge immediately, and there will be less time to serve the queen mother, and it will not get in the way in a short time, but after a long time, I am afraid that there will be villains who will instigate the bad, at this time, it is necessary for a powerful and intelligent queen to be able to bridge the gap between the emperor and the queen mother, although the queen mother values the concubine of Emperor Ying, but Emperor Yingzong still set up Empress Xiaozhe, but this candidate is also an excellent candidate, judging from the things in the future, Empress Xiaozhe is only afraid that it will be better."

"What do you mean, Master Weng, do I still want to ask my father to choose who to be the queen?" (To be continued.) )
