Chapter 64 Section 64

One night passed, and it was the last day that Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government behind the curtain, and it was also the day when the Empress first met with the Empress Dowager.The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were divided into several places to take care of them, and they were extremely busy. Of course, the most important thing was to take care of the ceremony of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. The auspicious time for the Empress to meet with the Empress Dowager, Qin Tianjian selected Chenzheng, which is also the time when the Empress Dowager Cixi summons the military aircraft.In order not to miss the auspicious time, I had no choice but to meet with the military plane earlier, and to save time, I made an exception and changed the meeting to the Compassionate Palace.

The only things that had to be invited to Yizhi today were two memorials related to King Chun.One is the case of Tu Renshou being punished again by the Ministry of Officials. Sun Yuwen follows the will of King Chun and decides to deal with it strictly.At the same time, Xu Tong, Minister of the Ministry of officials, was attacked, and in retaliation he opposed the construction of the Tianjin-Tongtong Railway. This note has already been handed over, so first Li Wang Shiduo came forward to replay it, "The officials are really suspected of being deceived when they handle affairs. How can they be perfunctory like this when they are entrusted with the order? It is obvious that they intend to cover up Tu Renshou." He said: "The minister waits After several public discussions, Tu Renshou violated the order and made false statements, and his fault was not minor. The Ministry of Officials discussed the punishment of dismissal and staying in office, which was considered too light. After the censor opened a vacancy, he did not specify what officials should be filled. If the previous report was approved But Tu Renshou was transferred from the censor to a member, how could it be so cheap?"

"Then," the Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "what do you mean?" "Tu Renshou should be dismissed from his post and never reappointed. Officials from the Ministry of Officials will be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for discussion, and the responsible staff will be checked for job titles and submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for strict discussion." "Such a punishment, isn't it too severe?" "The Empress Dowager clearly sees it," Shi Duo said what Sun Yuwen had taught him, "The Empress Dowager listens to the government, and the ministries dare not be sloppy, and now that they are about to return to power, they cannot help but relax.

If the empress dowager does not stand up for the emperor, it will be difficult to do things in the future. " These words are vague and general, but the meaning is very clear.The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't want to disagree with the Minister of Military Aircraft on the last day, so she nodded and said, "Okay! Just according to your intention, write the purpose to see. " Now that the case has been dealt with, it is time to talk about Wu Dacheng's secret report.The Empress Dowager Cixi did not explain the reason immediately, but first asked about everything about Wu Dacheng. The first thing was to ask how his official voice was?

Li Wang Shiduo was wondering why he suddenly asked about Wu Dacheng's official voice. Could it be that someone participated in the impeachment?Although the governor of the river is a fat vacancy, the Yellow River breach in Zhengzhou was more than five hundred and fifty feet wide. Too big a relationship.Because he only acted as River Governor in August last year, after the autumn floods, Zheng Gonghelong, and at the end of last year he was awarded the title of Director of the River River at the end of last year.If there is a mistake, Li Hongzhang and Wu Dacheng's predecessor Li Henian will be the first to bear the brunt.

After turning my thoughts quickly like this, I decided to look at King Chun's face and say a few good words, "Wu Dachen is a person who is willing to do things, and he is not afraid of difficulties or hardships." Besides, I have never heard that he likes other things." "Does he have frequent contacts with Prince Chun?" Wu Dacheng's Austrian aid is King Chun, and he gets along well with Li Hongzhang. He is today because of the strength of these two people. This is a well-known fact, but Shi Duo refused to tell the truth.Because in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, one had to be cautious when mentioning the friendship between King Jin and court officials and celebrities, for fear of incurring a reputation for being a party member for King Jin.

"My slave doesn't know very well." Shi Duo replied, "Even if there are letters to and from, I still want to talk about business matters." "That's all. If Wu Dachen took advantage of Prince Jin and wanted to repay him, but he didn't know how to repay him, and just took the book, he would not only be absurd, but also harm Prince Jin." Empress Dowager Cixi picked up Wu Dacheng And the two excerpts of Chun Wang, "Just read it!" Shiduo took it over and read it hastily, sweating a lot for Wu Dacheng, thinking in his heart: This is naturally "speaking up for justice" for King Chun, but he didn't want to be "ambushed" by King Chun himself.This backhand slap was really hard.Now it seems that a river governor is going to be prepared to take over Wu Dacheng's vacancy, and he can get a big red envelope from it.Think about it, who is the one who is bold.

He was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the official title, but the Empress Dowager Cixi became a little impatient, and urged, "What do you mean, just say it, let's discuss it." The "everyone" he was referring to, including Xu Gengshen and Sun Yuwen, who usually made suggestions, were all dumbfounded at this moment, because what exactly did Wu Dacheng say? They didn't know anything, so they all looked at Shi Duo, waiting for him to speak. Shi Duo found it difficult to speak, so he answered calmly, "This is a big matter, and the ministers dare not preside over it. However, Prince Jin has an upright heart, and it seems that the original statement can be announced immediately."

"That's for sure." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Wu Dacheng, since he quoted the great-grandfather's hadith, it seems inconvenient to punish him. I think he probably knew something was wrong when he wrote the booklet, so he looked for it a long time ago. Shield. This shield is too big, and there is really nothing you can do about him." "Yes!" Shi Duo agreed, and the idea of ​​selling an official position suddenly became cold. The "great grandfather" mentioned by Empress Dowager Cixi refers to Emperor Qianlong.Thanks to Wu Dacheng's use of this shield, he was exempted from severe punishment. At the same time, the Military Aircraft Department planned to issue an order, so it was inconvenient to publicly reprimand him.

Even so, the publication of the Shangyu together with the original manuscript of King Chun caused a great uproar among scholars, and high officials from Suzhou Prefecture, such as Pan Zuyin, Weng Tonghe, etc., were even more shameless and could not hold their heads up in front of others. Feel.Because in the upper edict, "At the beginning of Dang's return to power, Wu Dacheng really had this performance. If Prince Chun's original performance was not announced in time, then the heresy will advance and hope to discuss etiquette and prosperity. How can it be imagined? Use special clear instructions, And the original performance of Prince Jin will be issued. If Kan is named as a favored disciple, why should he covet him?" Jiajing and other dynasties said that those who advanced, they only regarded them as treacherous villains" and "Yu Du Jinren's false theory" and other wordings, it was more like pointing at Wu Dacheng's nose and scolding.This is embarrassing for the subordinates, let alone a first-rank official, and a first-rank official from Hanlin?
