XII. The Profound Meaning (2)
"What do you mean by that?" Prince Li frowned and said, "Could it be that this Li Hongzhang is the descendant of your Sun Zhongtang horse race?" ”
"The prince is the wisest," Sun Yuwen said with a smile, "In Yuqing Palace, there are people who have means better than Li Hongzao, and there are, but I just think about it-naturally it is also for the sake of the prince, Li Baoding is pedantic, but he is also a moral gentleman, this private virtue is excellent, if he enters the cabinet, he will talk about things in the majority, manage the affairs of the ministry, and it will not cause trouble for the prince, but if other people also enter the military aircraft department, then the prince will be in trouble, but I am afraid that this military aircraft department will make trouble."

Prince Li was thoughtful, Sun Yuwen's fire was burned at the right time, and Prince Li was not stupid, how could he not know, Li Hongzao has a noble status, acts above board, and will not engage in those crooked ways, even if there are any unpleasant words, the right to be inaudible is it, not to mention that the emperor must also understand in his heart that if he wants to govern the country well, it will not be possible, Li Baoding will not have the intention of replacing his cabinet, although Prince Li also has concerns in this regard, after all, he has also served as the cabinet for ten years, every five years, Ten years for a change, this is the rule set by the Shangshu, the Minister of Military Aircraft was not within this limit, Prince Li sat in the military aircraft department, the rumors and disputes outside, or the excerpts of the imperial history and Qingliu, there are proposals, let the military aircraft department also be changed every ten years, lest the people at the top of the head unless they retire from illness, otherwise those who are qualified enough will not be able to enter the cabinet, this is a trend, it is indeed necessary to be vigilant, plus Sun Yuwen did not say the words, the people who did not point out, are worthy of vigilance.
The emperor's cronies, the emperor or his favored figures entering the cabinet, according to Sun Yuwen, is indeed the trend of the times and cannot be stopped, so why not go with the flow and take advantage of the situation? Prince Li nodded, "You are right, if Li Baoding can't enter the military aircraft, no one will be able to enter, and Guangxu was the same ten years ago, if we eat together in a pot in the future, I guess he won't follow others to dismantle my platform." ”
Erle and Bu shook their heads, a prince like Prince Rao Shili, who has been in the world for a long time, also has to worry about the issue of holy grace and authority, Sun Yuwen nodded, "What the prince said is very true, if we bring Li Baoding in, presumably the emperor will be satisfied, and if the rest of the people have any opinions, there will be no disputes at all." ”
"Then tell me about it," Prince Li admired Sun Yuwen very much, and he often said to people outside that Prince Gong had Cao Yuying and Sun Guifen, and he also had Sun Yuwen who could be used as a suggestion, and he hurriedly asked, "Does the emperor also want to let his masters be the head of the household?" I'm worried that this person in charge of the money bag must be reliable, otherwise, there will be a famine in the future! ”
"Looking at it today, there is probably such a possibility," Sun Yuwen nodded and said, he also felt that Prince Li's idea was very correct, "We people, the emperor is obviously dissatisfied, but because of the old rules left before, the queen mother is lenient and generous, and puts the right to choose people in our military aircraft, the emperor is not good to change his course immediately, if it is a holy monarch like the Holy Ancestor Renzong, I am afraid that he will be dictatorial long ago." ”
Prince Li was a little annoyed, "Hey! These things are really annoying, and the errands are difficult to do! ”
Isn't it difficult to guess the mind of the leader! What's more, it is difficult to be a wife between the two aunts, Sun Yuwen's words must also be listened to, and some people are only afraid that they are also the candidates of the Queen Mother.
Although Prince Li doesn't need to look at Sun Yuwen's face, but in the end, he has to listen to some of Sun Yuwen's words, Sun Yuwen uses such an obscure way to express his meaning, and the emperor also uses a very hidden meaning to express it, but Prince Li is not used to this set, so he feels very tired.
This feeling has become stronger and stronger in recent years, Prince Li's temperament still likes to be a direct errand, the Empress Dowager Cixi has always been a direct order, he has a kind temperament, and there is no dispute with the world, of course, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, the prince of the palace, and the cabinet, and no one has any reason to blame anything for earning some living expenses. In the past, things were done properly, and many of the world's sarcastic words did not need to be cared about too much, but the queen mother withdrew the curtain and returned to the government, her influence on the government gradually weakened, and the emperor's pro-government power began to strengthen, but this process needs to be long and long-lasting, in many cases, when doing errands, not only to satisfy the queen mother, but also to satisfy the emperor, but between the two palaces, many times are not unified, it really responds to the sentence "it is difficult to be a woman between the two aunts".
At this time, Prince Li had a bit of a heart to retreat bravely, "The errand is difficult, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do it for many years," Prince Li shook his head, "If the Long Live Lord wants to withdraw me, I won't say a word, and I will give it up immediately!" ”
"Lord Wang, don't worry!" Erle and Bu laughed, "You don't deserve to be the first assistant, who will be it?" Who deserves it? No one needs that fire! Your temperament is gentle, people outside don't know how foolish, let's work together on an errand, can you still not know how important the prince is? He turned his head to Sun Yuwen and said, Sun Yuwen nodded with a smile, "Reconcile Ding Nai, assistant yin and yang, this is something that no one can take, is it possible for me and Yan Jingming to have such a violent temper as this foreman and minister of military aircraft?" I'm afraid that the city will be full of flames in a few days! You are the head of the eight kings, your position is noble, and many things others can't see through, that is, you can see through it, and you can't see through it, and you don't stay in the military aircraft for a long time, even if the emperor loves his master again, he won't think that Li Baoding is qualified enough to be the first assistant! ”
This is true, generally speaking, the first assistant, that is, the foreman and the minister of military aircraft, are very amiable people, and the previous Prince Yi naturally doesn't need to say much, just blindly happy; Prince Gong's temperament is excellent, and the world regards him as the Duke of Zhou; There is only one Zuo Zongtang who has a strong temperament, and he is not soft in handling things, and he is decisive in killing after opening and closing, but his position is different from others, and he does things that offend people, but he has been in power for five years, and there are more people than Prince Gong who has offended in 20 years, the Eight Banners reform, the official reform, and part of the currency reform are all implemented by Zuo Zongtang, there are such strong-fisted people here, the following ministry is still the book, and the queen mother above is much easier, you can blindly be a good person, let him be this evil person, Zuo Zongtang almost did his own errand, and he retired after the mission was completed, so he only served one term, and since Prince Li was in power, he really met his title, "Li".
