Why is it too polite, the queen mother removed the curtain, but also sincerely, otherwise she would not take the initiative to withdraw the curtain and return to the government, hand over the affairs to the emperor, hide in the Ningshou Palace, and later live in the garden, the queen mother is not willing to live in the Old Summer Palace, but in the Wanchun Garden or Changchun Garden, this is also like a standard old lady, after her son gets married, she is not willing to be with her son and daughter-in-law, this is no problem, the problem is that the emperor is too polite, you must ask the queen mother to continue to hang the curtain, if you can't do it, you have to discipline the government, The same is true for Prince Alcohol, the Queen Mother proposed to withdraw the curtain and return to the government for the first time, he quickly knelt down and cried bitterly, asking the Queen Mother to take back her life, and later saw that the Queen Mother was resolute, and found out that the Queen Mother wanted to continue to train the government, and the Queen Mother was obviously very polite to the emperor, "Since you have something, give it to me and ask me to help, I will naturally not help."

If it is a son of heaven and a courtier, there is only one person in the center who gives orders, and the people outside will not have so many thoughts, but these old ministers of foreign affairs, if the emperor does not succeed, and there is a queen mother behind him who can make a decision, then naturally, the emperor will not be respected too much.

This is the disadvantage of the duality system, although Weng Tongyi doesn't know where this duality system comes from, but he understands this truth, "The emperor has done a good job of this matter and embodied the meaning of filial piety, so the queen mother will naturally rest assured that the emperor will do things." As long as the queen mother supports the emperor, it doesn't matter how the people outside cause a storm. ”

The emperor nodded, obviously listening, "Master Weng, you can't say it, the most important thing at the moment is this matter." ”

"But Li Hongzhang's military expenses should be allocated more and more," the emperor said, "It can't be short, although we can't send troops now, and it is naturally impossible to fight with the Japanese, but it is always right to take precautions, be prepared, let his sailors be more relaxed, and serve the country, well, first allocate 500,000 taels for the cost of pulling out Korea." ”

"The silver of the household department has always been fixed, and every place must be used well, if it is rashly increased, the ministers are afraid that all the ministries and institutes will make a fuss to apply for more silver," Weng Tongyi said slowly, "In addition to the expenses of Lafayette's birthday, the rest have also prepared a part, but I am afraid that I will have to worry about this year's river work and water luck." ”

"As for money, you and Hu Xueyan have a plan," the emperor said displeasedly, "The bank can't issue more new currency, so it is proposed that the Military Aircraft Department issue bonds, and Li Hongzhang must not be shortened." ”

"In fact, Li Hongzhang has Sheng Xuanhuai and others sitting in Zhili, and the money is enough, and the minister heard about it," Weng Tongyi said slowly, "There are rumors outside, saying that the prime minister's speech that the prime minister is fat and thin, Li Hongzhang is extravagant, and it must be not bad for ......money."

"Master Weng," the emperor was a little unhappy in his eyes, but he still respected the teacher and said that he was not good at reprimanding, "I forgot to tell you something, I have already decided," the emperor stood up, and Weng Tongyi also quickly stood up, "Do you understand what I mean by accepting Li Hongzhang's daughter Li as a concubine?" ”

Weng Tong's body was shocked, and his snow-white beard shook casually, "What does the emperor ......mean?"

"I want to use Li Hongzhang now, there is no doubt about it, you are in charge of the household, and I don't ask you to take care of Li Hongzhang specifically, but he is in Beiyang, Beiyang is our gateway, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it, Master Weng, you must understand."

"Yes, the minister knows."

"Master Weng, life in the world is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, many people are the word profit, for people to talk about interests in advance, Master Weng, you have never been profitable, this point, I understand very well, but this name, Master Weng, you still can't see through it, fame is before profit, this is not a good thing."

The emperor didn't say anything serious, but these words had already made Weng Tongxiao's vest break out in a cold sweat, and the emperor left quietly, Weng Tongrong looked at the emperor's departing back, a little ashamed but a little relieved.

The Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the majesty is great, here is the use of military law management, if someone does not listen to the command, it must be the law on the spot, in the lobby, the big guy is noisy, "How can this son do it with Japan?" We're not ready for anything! ”

"That's it, Zhongtang! For so many years, although the artillery and ammunition have been guaranteed, in the past three years, the number of ships has not increased, and Japan has not said anything else, there are two more high-speed cruisers at once, and people are changing with each passing day, but we are still eating the old book. How does this work? ”

"It's not going to fight the Japanese, isn't this going to counterinsurgency? Malier's rebellion was put down, how did the Japanese do it? If you want to fish in troubled waters, you can't do it, right? ”

"That's it, you are just worrying about the sky, thinking so far all at once!"

"The Nanyang Naval Division has been building ships, isn't this our super ironclad already out?"

"What came out is really not real, can you put it in the north and use it," the person who spoke sneered slightly, "It's still two different things!" ”

"North Korea has Yuan Shikai here, what kind of soldiers are you sending, we don't have many soldiers here!"

"There are some local troops, but the center, if we don't give guns, what can we do to quell the rebellion? The so-called lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the equipment is not complete, so we can't send troops! ”

There was a mess below, everyone had their own interests, and they quarreled with each other, Li Hongzhang sat upright, closed his eyes and recuperated, without saying a word, Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Zhang Peilun opposite, and then looked at the people underground, and coughed, "Okay, okay!" ”

He is the governor of Tianjin, in the position of Zhili here, only under Li Hongzhang, and in charge of investment affairs, he is a proper God of Wealth, so shouting, the people underground stopped talking, opened their eyes wide to look at Li Hongzhang who was squinting above to recuperate, "Please show Lord Zhongtang." ”

Zhang Peilun took a telegram and said: "Yuan Shikai has sent several telegrams urging that Japan has sent 400 marines to North Korea. What he meant, if the court hasn't reacted yet, is a sign of weakness! The Japanese will have to make an inch, not only will there be no place for the face of the imperial court, but the consequences will be even more unimaginable! ”

He put down the telegram and continued: "I think Yuan Shikai has a point, the Japanese can do anything!" ”

Sheng Xuanhuai pondered and said disapprerovingly, "Not really, right?" Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration? He's such a person, I'm not saying he's bad, it's just that he's eager to make a career and always wants to find something to do. ”
