Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was precisely because of the participation of Qing gossip officials that Li Hongzhang expressed his worries about the future of these Westernization officials in his letter.  After learning the contents of Li Deshui's excerpt, Empress Dowager Cixi unexpectedly did not give an immediate reply, but remained silent.  It was the silence of the Empress Dowager Cixi that made Li Hongzhang feel suspicious and uneasy.  Lin Yizhe certainly understood why the Empress Dowager Cixi had such a reaction.  Because this time the Qing gossip officials really hit Cixi's weakness!  Since the successful suppression of the Taiping Rebellion, the power of local governors has increased significantly compared to the past. This "power of vassal towns" is indeed something that Empress Dowager Cixi has always been very wary of!  And as the governor of Fujian, the minister of Taiwan affairs, and the commander of the shipping navy, Qingliu had already labeled him as a "vassal town" very early on!  My position as governor of Fujian was dismissed by the imperial court on the pretext of "native place", which is not unrelated to this!  "After Chen Shi took office as the governor of Taiwan, his temporary position as Minister of Taiwan Affairs will also come to an end. This is why the court wants to nip problems in the bud!  How can we defeat Qingliu¡¯s extremely vicious attack?  Lin Yizhe put down Li Hongzhang's letter and walked around the room, thinking.  After a long time, the concierge's announcement brought him back from his thoughts.  "Sir, Duke Cheng'en Chongqi Chong has sent someone to invite you to a banquet at his residence." The concierge said as he handed a large red and gold invitation to Lin Yizhe.  "The people in Duke Cheng'en's residence also said that Duke Cheng'en would like to ask you to come and honor me." The concierge said again.  "Okay, ask him to wait a moment. I'll change my clothes and follow him over immediately," Lin Yizhe said.  The concierge retreated in response.  Lin Yizhe took Chongqi's invitation and looked at it carefully, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his heart!  "Haha, what a coincidence! This matter happened to happen to Duke Cheng En!" Lin Yizhe looked at the invitation in his hand and couldn't help laughing.  About the same time.  Old Summer Palace, heaven and earth are one family in spring, Daya Zhai.  The sky outside is only slightly white, but the Empress Dowager Cixi in Daya Zhai woke up early.  She has always had a problem with "liver qi". Whenever something unsatisfactory is stuck in her heart, she will feel a dull pain in her chest and abdomen, which may even make her sleepless at night. Since she saw those people who said "Fan Town" a few days ago,  "After the incident, this problem that had not occurred for many years suddenly recurred, despite careful treatment by the imperial doctor.  It has improved a lot, but whenever I think about this annoying thing, I still feel pain easily.  This problem was caused by being too angry with Sushun back then For some reason, when the Empress Dowager Cixi thought of Sushun, she didn't feel the same hatred as before when she thought of Sushun.  To be fair, Su Shun has some talents, but he is too domineering.  When Sushun was in power.  He once used iron-fisted administration to rectify the political style of the officialdom, and decisively dealt with the "Wuwu Examination Case" and "Household Treasures Case", "seeking to bring about the evils accumulated in the declining world."  He advocated issuing paper money to mint large amounts of money and increase currency.  Promote economic development.  Moreover, Sushun was the first to propose that support for the banner people should be stopped. Although Sushun was a Manchu, he despised those banner people who were like maggots. He often said, "We banner people are too many bastards" and "The Manchu people are confused and cannot serve the country.  He works hard, but he only needs money!" Therefore, he does not hire people based on their nationality.  Only the virtuous are respected, and they promote and reuse Han talents such as Guo Songtao, Yin Gengyun, Wang Kaiyun, Gao Xinkui, Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, etc. "We usually discuss with guests, and often think twice about Zeng Wenzhenggong's knowledge, so Lin Wenzhonggong's  Talent." "The talent is unparalleled among the Manchu ministers."  It¡¯s a pity that because he went against the Empress Dowager Cixi, he was eventually executed by the Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong!  After killing Sushun, Empress Dowager Cixi would often think of him.  Although Empress Dowager Cixi sometimes felt filled with hatred when she thought of Su Shun, when she was calm, she often felt sorry for losing a rare Manchu talent like Su Shun.  Getting up from the bed, the palace maid beside her helped her change her clothes, and then the palace maid washed her face. Empress Dowager Cixi called out: "Li Lianying?" "I'm here!" Li Lianying, who was already waiting outside Daya Zhai.  Hearing the sound, he immediately ran in with small steps, hit his horse hoof sleeves, and knelt down.  Since Liu Chengyin fell ill, he has been serving the Empress Dowager Cixi.  "Get up." The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't even look at him. She sat down in front of the dressing table and said in a deep voice: "Bring some tea first!"  The woman on her feet took a cup of hot tea that had just been prepared from the silent palace maid and presented it to the Empress Dowager Cixi respectfully.  Since meeting Li ?After the scandals and gossip officials said that everything should be done away with, King Chun, Prime Minister, and the Minister of the Navy, and the memorials about Li Hongzhang, Shen Baozhen, and Lin Yizhe "forming parties" and "forming like vassal towns", the Empress Dowager Cixi became very angry and waited on her.  The people there were even more unpretentious, and there were actually seven eunuchs and maids who were flogged for more than ten days!  Although Li Lianying entered the palace at a young age, she paid attention to some local slang on weekdays. She knew that this was called "the wind on the head", which meant that it was common for a widowed woman like the Queen Mother to sleep alone with a green lantern on her pillow every night.  , it is often easier to think of those worries that cannot be told to the juniors and servants, so they suffer from insomnia every night and become angry, and the people around them can only treat them carefully and consider themselves unlucky!  Empress Dowager Cixi picked up the bright yellow tea cup with the words "Spring in the world" written on it, and gently sipped the medicinal materials in it that were specially formulated by the Imperial Hospital to clear fire, detoxify and replenish qi.  , plus fragrant medicinal tea prepared with honey spices.  The warm and sweet juice flowed from her lips and teeth all the way into her chest and abdomen, making her chest and diaphragm, which had been feeling extremely painful and painful, much more comfortable.  She sipped it leisurely - ever since she lost her husband more than ten years ago and suddenly became the Queen Mother of the country from a concubine who could be reviewed like a eunuch with a pen, she no longer knew about similar crises.  How many times have she experienced it, from the bullying of her orphans and widowed mother by the eighth minister Gu Ming in the first year of Tongzhi, to the later grievances and resentments with the "Sixth Master", and the "internal emphasis and external emphasis" caused by the expansion of local governors?  The situation She survived every difficulty!  But this time, the memorial from the Qing gossip officials was like a poisonous arrow, which really hit the painful spot in her heart!  Despite this, her thoughts are still clear and sharp - as the saying goes, you must be calm and composed when facing important events. After many years of serving the country, she has already developed the ability to remain calm in every situation!  Although this change seemed a bit sudden She was relieved about Lin Yizhe!  The same is true for Shen Baozhen and Li Hongzhang. Her purpose in arranging Shen Baozhen and Lin Yizhe, who are not father and son, to enter the Navy Yamen is to win over Lin Yizhe's heart so that he can do things with peace of mind!  But the three of them are all Han Chinese!  Arranging Prince Chun to preside over the Navy Yamen, and adding Wen Xiang, whom she relied on most among the Manchus, was also to balance the power of the Manchus and Han Dynasties.  In her opinion, this arrangement was the most appropriate, but the sentence in Li Deshui's excerpt that "it will definitely become a vassal town" made her feel uneasy.  "Li Lianying!" She put down the tea cup in her hand and said coldly.  Wei Zaode was from Tongzhou, Shuntian.  In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to Jinshi.  After the palace examination, the emperor wanted to find talents, and summoned forty-eight people to the Wenhua Palace, asking: "Today's internal and external strife, how can we take revenge and avenge shame?" Zaode responded by "knowing his shame" and recounted his merits in guarding Tongzhou for eleven years.  The emperor was kind to him, promoted him to the first place, and taught compilation.  Acting as a human being is mediocre and unforgettable.  The evil deputy capital censor Fang Kezhuang and Henan Dao Zhang Xuan were not subordinated, because they would push the ministers to slander the emperor, and Kezhuang and other six people were all sent to the official position.  When Wang Yingxiong summoned him, he turned back and performed vigorously.  Since the death of Yanru, the emperor has relied most on Xinyan.  Those who attached themselves to Yan Confucianism in Taiwan Province all tended to follow the Yan sect.  At that time, the country was in dire straits, and China and foreign countries knew that it was failing.  There is nothing planned for the performance, but bribery is the only thing that matters.  When Li Zicheng fell into Shaanxi and forced Shanxi, the court proposed to withdraw Wu Sangui's troops from Ningyuan and defend Shanhaiguan to support the capital.  The same is true for the emperor's will, which cannot be acted out and maintained.  The later emperor decided to carry out the plan, and Sangui began to use sea boats to ferry the Liao people into the pass. The people came and went again, but the thieves had already trapped Xuan and Da.  If you are afraid of acting and are not at ease, just seek medical advice.  As promised by the imperial edict, he was given fifty gold coins for the road trip and four colored coins for his travels.  After saying thank you, Wang Yongji, the governor of Jiliao, tried his best to slander his crime and asked him to be punished. Wang Weixiao and Sun Chengze also criticized him.  In the speech, it is said that the assistant is innocent and the crime deserves death.  The emperor said angrily: "Your death will not be enough to cover up the injustice!" He scolded him and left.  If you have too much money to perform, you can't do it in a hurry.  The thieves were trapped in the capital, and Wei Zaode and others were captured. The thieves general Liu Zongmin was in the camp.  He offered 40,000 pieces of silver every day. The thief was happy and the punishment was not increased.  On April 8, he was released.  On the twelfth day, he became a general in the east to control Sangui. He was afraid that all the ministers would cause trouble in the future, so he killed them all.  In the fifteenth year, martial law was imposed in the capital and military affairs were neglected.  In March next year, we will call for symmetry.  Zaode is eloquent.  The emperor promoted him personally and thought he was ambitious. In May, he suddenly promoted the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of Dongge to join the cabinet to assist the government.  Zaodeli resigned from his ministry title and changed his position to Shao Zhan.  In the last years of Zhengtong, during the military affairs of Kongji, Peng Shi was the first person in the palace examination and entered the cabinet after more than a year. However, he was still compiled by his old official, and there was no one who became a great scholar.  Chen Yan saw the emperor's kindness and responded with the song.  In August, the supplementary bank held a trial and promoted him as vice president, replacing Jiang Dejing and Huang Jingfang.  Zaode was in the position and had nothing to offer, but he only initiated donations from officials.  In February of the seventeenth year, the imperial edict was issued to the Minister of War, the Minister of Industry, and the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, who were in charge of Hedao, farming, and military training. They were stationed in Tianjin, and Fang Yuegong was ordered to be stationed in Jining.  Roads too.  There is a saying that officials should not be ordered to leave, and those who immediately run away will not be able to do so.  After the performance, Zaode became the chief assistant.  Colleagues Li Jiantai, Fang Yuegong, Fan Jingwen, ?Yu and Yu are all new to the government and cannot be remedied.  In March, the capital fell, Jing Wen died, Zaode, Yue Gong, and Yu were executed, and Liu Zongmin was stationed in Youyou.  (To be continued)
