Chapter 79 Section 79

After careful consideration in Prince Gong's Mansion, all the ten important ministers signed their names on the bottom of the fold, and then Yikuang personally copied it and handed it over to the Military Aircraft Department. A special military aircraft Zhang Jing was sent to the Internal Affairs Office, indicating that it was of great importance. The requirements must be submitted to the imperial court immediately. The emperor has already got the news that the imperial ministers and the military ministers will gather frequently and there will be a very painful remonstrance. The emperor can already guess what these people are going to say, and the tone must be unpleasant. And know.Therefore, when I saw that memorial, it was like seeing a letter from a creditor, and I was timid in my heart, unwilling to open it all the time.

Because of this, the ten ministers waited for a day.In the original book, "the meaning cannot be fully expressed, the minister will wait for a detailed interview", the emperor does not know at all, and naturally he will not summon it.In this way, on the third day, when the military plane met with the emperor as usual, Prince Gong couldn't help but asked: "The minister waited for a joint memorial the day before yesterday..." "I'm watching!" the emperor hurriedly said, "There are other orders." King Gong thought to himself, "There is another purpose", so it is natural to summon him, so we might as well wait a little longer, so he didn't say anything more, and informed King Dun and other five former ministers to meet at the military plane early the next morning to wait for the news.

But when we meet next day, the emperor still doesn't mention a word.Prince Gong withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, returned to the military aircraft, and immediately sent someone to inquire, and the report he got back was: the emperor didn't read the memorial at all. "How is it?" He asked King Dun. "What else can I do?" Jun Wang said, "Pass the sign!" Ten green-tipped lots were handed over, and the emperor sent someone to say: "I'm tired today! Let's talk tomorrow." As a result of everyone's discussion, it was believed that the emperor should not be delayed, and an audience must be seen on this day!So hand over the brand for the second time.

The second time the sign was handed over, it was still not allowed, which was also mindful, so Prince Gong asked someone to hand it over again.For the third time before Da Yuqian, the emperor was both panicked and angry, and thought about it for a while, knowing that this was a difficult situation, and he had to break through, so he said with a calm face: "Okay! See what they have to say! " So the ten ministers, led by King Dun, walked out of the military plane with solemn expressions one by one.It was the eighteenth day of July, and the "autumn tiger" was still very powerful. Although the Hall of Mental Cultivation was cool, it was filled with a heavy heart, so it was like Huang Meitian entering a poorly ventilated small room, not only sweating profusely, but also felt suffocated.Wen Xiang was weak and felt overwhelmed. He felt golden flies flying around in front of his eyes and was panting continuously. He was supported by an eunuch and reluctantly entered the palace with his squad.

As soon as he entered the hall, Prince Gong ordered the eunuch in charge of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "Bring ten cushions!" The eunuch in charge was stunned. The three kings, Dun, Gong, and Chun, were the emperor's uncles. They had already received an order: "If you call for a banquet, you will be exempted from kowtowing."I had doubts in my heart, so I didn't dare to ask, so I only agreed to take two strips of red felt and ten mats of asparagus grass. After laying them properly, I quietly retreated, and secretly told the eunuch standing outside the hall, "I'm afraid there will be someone here today." Big storm! Everyone be careful."

Soon, I heard the sound of rustling footsteps approaching from far and near, and also heard the sound of the emperor coughing, so King Dun took the lead and stood on duty outside the hall, only to see the emperor's face was pale, his eyes were a little red, and he was holding a sword in his hand. The sealed memorial, got off the soft sedan chair, and walked straight into the hall.When he was ascended to the throne, King Dun led the way in and knelt down in two rows. From east to west, the first row was Prince Dun, Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Prince Xihorqin Boyan Namoqin, and Xiyiyi. Prince Concubine Jingshou, the second row is Baylor Yikuang, the county king, Tirenge University scholar Wen Xiang, Minister of Military Aircraft, Bao Jun, Shang Shu of the Civil Affairs Department of the University, Shen Guifen, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Li Hongzao, Minister of Military Aircraft.

The emperor was slightly stunned, and became more vigilant in his heart. After the ten ministers saluted, he said, "Get up!" "Yes!" King Dun agreed, still knelt still, "I waited for ten people, there was a joint memorial the day before yesterday, I respectfully ask the emperor to accept it, and send an edict to the world." "Oh," the emperor had thought about it several times, deliberately pretending not to care, and at this moment he was struggling to put on a smile, "I haven't watched it yet!" As he spoke, he personally used an ivory paper cutter to open the seal, took out the memorial, held it in his hand, and put the memorial down after he couldn't read a few lines.

"How about I stop working? What else do you have to talk about?" King Dun didn't think to answer, he just looked sideways, so King Gong said: "The performance by the ministers and others is not only about the suspension of work, let the ministers read it face to face." After speaking, he took out the folded bottom from his bosom, knelt up straight, and read from the beginning. After reading the previous paragraph "hat", he began to state the six specific remonstrances, repeatedly explaining, because of excitement, The words became more and more serious, and when it came to the last "diligent learning", it seemed to be a lesson to my nephew.

The emperor's face changed drastically, from blue to red, but none of the ten ministers could see it.Prince Gong folded his eyes to cover his eyes, and did not dare to look up at the rest according to the rules. He only heard the most passionate and painful part of Prince Gong's speech, and suddenly there was a violent sound of shooting. When he looked up in surprise, he realized that the emperor's face was terribly blue. . He pointed at Prince Gong and said sharply, "Is this seat for you?" When he said such angry words, all the ten ministers turned pale with astonishment. Wen Xiang let out a trombone, and fainted on the ground because of the stimulation he received.

At this moment, the emperor was shocked and regretted his slip of the tongue, and the eunuchs outside the hall, ignoring the rituals, rushed into the hall and helped Wen Xiang up. "Get out first!" the emperor ordered. When he got up, Wen Xiang had already let out a groan, and the princes and officials in the hall were relieved, and finally he did not faint.But this is already a shocking thing. Since the founding of the country, in the two hundred years since the founding of the country, there has never been a veteran and important minister without a country. For the sake of the emperor's loss of virtue, the worry and pain are so severe that they are almost broken within five years!Therefore, the emperor was unavoidably discouraged, and the Jiuzhong ministers who stayed in the palace felt that the situation was more serious. If they could not give advice and restore God's will, they might lose their hearts and the world would collapse.

Among them, the most excited one is King Chun, who is also very competitive. On the one hand, he hates the weakness of the Prime Minister’s office, and on the other hand, he hates King Gong who has been in power for thirteen years. And helpless.If the emperor has the heart to work hard, the ministers will never dare to slack off like this, so after all, the emperor must always fight for himself. Therefore, he raised his voice and said: "Duke Wenxiang is loyal to the country, and obeys the government with all his strength. How can the emperor remain indifferent like the situation just now? If you refuse to advise and cover up your mistakes, and do not cultivate your morality, you are sincerely afraid that the country will perish forever!" "'Wanfang is guilty, and I am guilty!'" The emperor was a little angry again, "I have only been in power for a year and a half. Could it be that in this year and a half, I have messed up the state affairs? All the responsibilities are placed on me. alone?" "The ministers dare not shirk their responsibilities. As long as the emperor pursues virtue and cultivates his career, and his heart is full of enthusiasm, although internal and external troubles occur alternately, there is always a place to be caught off guard. Ministers and workers, big and small, will never dare to perfunctory their responsibilities and enrich themselves. The people of the world, In the world of the emperor, if the emperor does not put the country as the most important thing, how can ministers and workers work diligently? This is a very clear thing." "I don't understand your words!" the emperor said angrily, "From where can you tell that I don't put the country first?" "The holy bow is the hope of the world, and it is light to take advantage of public opinion, that is, it does not take the community as the most important thing." "anything else?" "The holy learning has not yet been achieved. The first important thing for the emperor now is to study diligently. The year when the emperor practiced Zuo was about the same as that of the emperor Sheng Zuren. The emperor captured Oboi at the age of fourteen. To eliminate the serious trouble, at the age of the emperor, he has already started planning to withdraw. Fan. The imperial gate listens to the government. In addition to taking care of everything, he does not abandon the sacred learning. Not only does he often have imperial scripture banquets, but he also discusses knowledge with the Hanlin in the South Study Room. Please think carefully, the emperor, have you ever been able to study as diligently as the holy ancestor?" Wang went on to say, "Master Li is here, let's take this month as an example. How many days has the emperor been in the study?" So Li Hongzao stated: "The first day is the Queen's Qianqiu Festival, and there is no study room for two days; the third day introduces Ba Gong, and there is no study room; There is no study room for two days in the sixth biography; there is another biography on the eighth day: no study room today and from the 11th to the 15th. Counting half a month, only the ninth and 11th day of the lunar new year came to the Royal Hongde Hall. The day before yesterday, yesterday, still There is no study." "Yesterday!" The emperor seemed to be looking for a reason, "What day was yesterday? Don't you want to salute?" "Yesterday was the anniversary of the late emperor's death." King Chun just interjected, touching the scene and expressing his gratitude to Wen Zong. He couldn't help but exchanged tears, "The late emperor abandoned the world to burn the Old Summer Palace for the sake of foreigners, and collapsed in grief and anger. If your majesty still doesn't remember this great shame and humiliation, It is better for me to serve the late emperor under the spring." After saying that, he burst into tears. Embarrassed and annoyed, the emperor couldn't offer comforting words, nor did he want to, so he just sullenly said loudly, "This is not about crying. Feel free to say anything, as long as it makes sense, of course I will listen." So Chun Wang stopped his tears and continued talking one by one.The emperor never asked about the rules of summoning, so he shouldn't make a statement without authorization, even if he was summoned by his classmates, he had to be classified according to his status, and he couldn't speak more than once. That's why King Chun said it, and it was Boyan Namo's turn to speak.He mentioned the case of Li Guangzhao, attacking the Ministry of Internal Affairs for deceiving the emperor, so that the rumors spread all over the world as a joke.May the emperor vigorously strengthen his leadership, Yingcha will be decisive, and not be surrounded by his left and right servants. Afterwards, it was Jingshou who had to speak. He had always been taciturn. Ever since he was involved in Sushun's case, he was disgraced, and he was even more unwilling to make any claims about the big politics.Although he agrees with the joint remonstrance by Yuqian and Military Aircraft, everyone has already said what he wants to say, and he only said a few words in a general way that the holy car is the most important thing, and it should not be taken lightly.Then he said: "On the day when I served the late emperor, I once told face-to-face: Shenzong of the former Ming Dynasty, who gave advice to his ministers and discussed matters in various ministries and yamen, often stayed in the middle and did not report it. The most immoral. The emperor is smart, and he will be able to Remember the legacy of the late emperor." The emperor felt that comparing him to Ming Shenzong would not be convinced no matter what, so he sneered and said, "Humph! It's not true! Ming Shenzong has ignored the dynasty for decades. Where can I find him like this? As for the memorial, I will keep it The one who wins the prize will be punished once the prize is passed.” At this moment, King Chun couldn't bear it any longer, and said defiantly: "I heard that there are quite a few people who have spoken up and complained, such as the case of Li Guangzhao. The accusation that Li's 'tradition is close to deceiving others' is exactly what he said. If the emperor had sent down Wang Jiabi's papers at that time, the military planes would not have dared not investigate, how could there be a joke today?" "I have asked Li Hongzhang to handle Li Guangzhao's case strictly, so there is no need to talk about it." The emperor said again: "I have to accept the remonstrance. I have already accepted some of the remonstrances. It doesn't matter whether the notes are distributed or not." "Yes. I hope that the emperor will listen to you with an open mind." King Chun said again, "I will say that after my death, from now on, there must be no such thing as easy clothes and low deeds." "That's a rumor, why is there such a thing?" "The emperor said that rumors are rumors." There is an indescribable sense of disdain and words in this sentence. The emperor felt very uncomfortable. It is estimated that King Chun would not dare to change the situation and insist that there must be a situation that does not leave a trace, so he asked plausibly: "What do you say?" Ah! Where did I go, and on that day, did I meet those people?" "The emperor knows it himself." It became more and more obvious that King Chun's words were speculative rumors, and the emperor wanted to ask, "No!" He said, "You have to say it, or you will be spreading rumors." Making rumors about the emperor is no small matter, King Chun was forced to tell the truth.That day I had a drink at Xuande Building, that day I had lunch at Longyuan Building, that day I wandered around Bada Hutong, that day I bought "idle books" at Liulichang.This was reported by Rong Lu and forwarded to King Chun.Not only is there a date, a place, but even what kind of food I ordered in the restaurant and how much money I spent. At this moment, not only the emperor was stunned and had no words to answer, but Boyan Namogu, Jing Shou, Shen Guifen and others also felt something they had never heard before.For a moment, the silence in the palace was like a storm before it came, making people uneasy. "Other things are easy to talk about. I have to interview the queen mother, I can't decide this matter." I finally got such a sentence from the emperor, and I thought it was unsatisfactory.So King Dun took the lead, knelt down and retreated.The emperor himself was sweating profusely. He had just wiped his body after returning to the Qianqing Palace. The eunuch came to report and the Empress Dowager Cixi summoned him. When he arrived at the Changchun Palace, he saw the empress dowager Cixi's face gloomy, and the emperor was terrified at first. "I heard that Junji and Yuqian have a joint booklet." Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "What are you talking about?" "It's not those commonplaces." The emperor wanted to show the memorial to the Empress Dowager Cixi, but he had already put his hand into his bosom, and then realized that this was "giving someone a handle", so he stretched out his hand again. "Why is it called a cliché? There are not a few important words in it, so why did you make an appointment to see you? What about Zhezi?" Empress Dowager Cixi stretched out her hand. The emperor thought to himself, if he said he hadn't brought it, maybe he would order it. Wouldn't it be a lie to send someone to get it if he couldn't get it? I had no choice but to hand in the memorial. The Empress Dowager Cixi read the scriptures, although she didn't see ten lines at a glance, she was much faster than the emperor. She sneered while reading the scriptures, and threw the scriptures on the kang table after reading them. I don't know!" The emperor felt guilty, and was afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi would ask about Weixing, so he covered it up like this: "Just after seeing the project a few times, there are rumors outside, how hateful!" "You're fine, is someone going there to spread rumors?" Empress Dowager Cixi looked at him and asked, "Do you know that these six paragraphs are about one thing!" Naturally, this matter is the suspension of garden work. The emperor thought to himself that it would be much easier to let the Empress Dowager Cixi speak out by herself, so he bowed and replied, "Please enlighten me, Empress Dowager." "It's all because you are not good at studying. Think about it, how many days have you been in the study room this month?" The Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "If you can make progress and study hard, your mind will naturally calm down, and you will naturally be able to study hard." Knowing "fear the destiny" and "follow the ancestral system", there are rules in what you say and do, and you have read the memorials, and you are willing to listen to people's persuasion. As long as you can behave like this, it is nothing to build a garden so that you can study with peace of mind !" At this point, the Empress Dowager Cixi hesitated to speak, but finally said it out, "There is a saying, you must be dissatisfied with what I said, you have only been in power for more than a year, why did you become like this? Let's put it bluntly, you are underestimated from the outside! You agreed with your mouth, but you sneered in your heart. Do you think it is easy to read the booklet and meet the military plane? You are very early! " These few words made the emperor's face ashen, and his heart was indescribably sad, he wanted to answer back, but he didn't dare, so he lowered his head and bit his lips vigorously. "What happened to Wen Xiang?" This question was difficult for the emperor to answer, so he thought for a while before answering: "He is not in good health! If you want to open a vacancy, let him open it! " "Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Cixi was furious after all, "You simply don't have eyes." The emperor lowered his head again, hating himself for being clumsy, why would he say such words? The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't bear it any longer, she slowed down her voice and asked, "What do you mean now? There must be an explanation!" "Didn't the empress say that?" The emperor said with a bit of aggrieved voice, "I just need to go to the study more often." "It's also good if you are sincere and willing to learn." "Weng Tonghe is back, I would like to listen to his lectures." This is a sincere sentence, and the Empress Dowager Cixi also knew it, and nodded her approval.Let's not talk about the suspension of garden workers.The emperor thought about it carefully when he returned to the palace, but when he thought of the study, he felt shy.Thinking about other things, from the negotiations with Japan to the Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude towards the empress, there is nothing that can make my heart feel at ease. Under the irritability, I can only take another trip to the Old Summer Palace with my attendants. , the mood can be slightly relaxed. In fact, the garden workers were on the verge of a standstill, because once Li Guangzhao's case broke out, Huanghuang issued an order to deal with it strictly, so how could the introduction of people who handled it be free of responsibility?Therefore, Huguang Road supervised the censor, Chuanlu in the first year of Tongzhi, and Chen Yi from Yizheng, Jiangsu, took the lead in attacking the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for "deceitful work, please punish him."Then in the same year as Chen Yi, Sun Fengxiang, a censor of Jiangnan Province from Weixian County, Shandong Province, wrote a memorial, saying, "Li Guangzhao's submission to Mu Zhi last year, and the submission of Mu Zhi this time, were all acted by Gui Bao, the current Minister of Internal Affairs." The affairs of Tang Langzhong's tenure; Gui Baomeng mixed up the manuscripts and submitted them to the court, and cheated in traffic with Li Guangzhao, please punish them severely."These two excerpts have been approved by the emperor and handed over to the Ministry of Officials for discussion, and punishment is inevitable.At the same time, the crying hall of the ten important ministers has been passed on as news in Jiucheng.It seems that it will be a matter of time before the garden workers are stopped, so not only the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly stopped, but even the contractors of the garden workers had to stop and wait and see. Things seemed to be at an impasse, and the emperor didn't know what to do, and it dragged on day by day.The ten ministers were even more anxious, and gathered frequently. Amid sighs and sighs, they decided on several indirect steps. If there were no six pieces of remonstrance from the ten important ministers, the emperor would not be paranoid. With the "Admonition Chapter", the emperor thought that it was King Gong and others, and he was very uncomfortable by using the eloquence to restrain him.However, Li Guangzhao's case was really irritating, so he finally approved the suggestion of the Ministry of Officials. Guibao was the general office of the Yuanmingyuan project. This dismissal, "a snake without a head can't do it", and the garden work was completely stopped.The emperor began to feel that the situation was serious. The first was that he could not explain to the Empress Dowager Cixi; the second was related to prestige.After thinking about it, I can only find one person to discuss it. This person is Li Hongzao.Only when the emperor speaks in front of the enlightened master will he not feel that he has hurt the majesty of being an emperor. "Master," he said, "others don't know about my difficulties, but you should know. At the beginning, the decree to repair the garden was to entertain the empress dowagers of the two palaces. After handing over the drawings, you always know about these situations, right?" Of course Li Hongzao knew, and immediately asked: "On July 18th, I summoned the emperor and the military aircraft, and once masked my face to stop the garden work for a day, and played the decision of the two empress dowagers. Presumably the emperor has already played it personally?" When the emperor heard this question, he immediately showed an extremely embarrassed expression, and it took a long time before he said: "I don't know how to go back with the two empress dowagers." It is said that there are "two empress dowagers", but it is actually just one: Empress Dowager Cixi.Under the power of Empress Dowager Cixi, who was his biological mother and strict father, the emperor was often so frightened that he could not even speak clearly. This was well understood by Li Hongzao. Therefore, the emperor's difficulties were fully revealed in his words.Li Hongzao made up his mind at that time, but he didn't know what Prince Gong and the others meant.It is inconvenient to make any promises in front of the emperor, so I just replied: "The emperor's filial piety, the ministers and others all admire. Rong Chen and others have carefully planned a proper way, and there must be a way to express their worries." So on the same day, he talked to King Gong about the emperor's summoning. King Gong invited the five imperial ministers and the whole army to gather in Jianyuan for a meeting.In this discussion, there are many opinions. The situation stated by Li Hongzao has opened up the hidden situation in everyone's mind. In order to correct the emperor's behavior, all kinds of paths have been taken, but the most important path has never been taken. The empress dowager's intervention is the only good way to get rid of the deadlock and break the deadlock. "I think," said Prince Gong, "I'll trouble Lansun to draw up a secret booklet, and the public will go to the two palaces. Do you think it's okay?" This was exactly Li Hongzao's idea, and he also had a draft, but on this occasion, he had to say: "How to word the words, please discuss the rules first." "What do you think?" Prince Gong asked back. "I think it should be argued from the two aspects of reason and situation, saying that the garden workers had to stop." "Okay, please write it down first, and then think about it after reading the manuscript." "Not only to discuss the theory and situation, but also to expose the truth." Wen Xiang said, "If you want to talk about the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they know that the project is huge and cannot be completed, so they just use it perfunctorily so that they can get their hands on it. With the shrewdness of 'Western', of course I don’t want to be used as a cover for people to collect money. It is useful to say this!" "Yes!" Li Hongzao admired him wholeheartedly, "Third Brother really sees it through." So the girl set up a pen and inkstone, and Li Hongzao sat aside holding a pen to conceive.For memorials like these, there is no need to pay attention to diction, as long as the words are tactful and thorough, because Li Hongzao adapted Wen Xiang's words to his draft, and immediately wrote down the whole article without adding any points.After reading it after writing it, I changed a few words, stood up, and raised my hand to Prince Gong. "Please excuse me, read it again!" Li Hongzao agreed, and read aloud: "In the matter of the garden work, the emperor entertained the empress dowagers of the two palaces. She was filial and pure, and refused to take back her life. But when the situation was difficult, there were those who had to stop in theory. Respect the empress dowager Chen Zhi: Xianfeng ten years, Emperor Wen Zongxian visited Rehe from the Old Summer Palace. It was an extraordinary change in our dynasty for more than 200 years. To this day, all the subjects of the world are heartbroken. The empress dowagers and the emperor of the two palaces will also be sad when they think about the situation that day. How could they bear to return to their land? ?And Wen Feng, the former minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, once died in this place, an ominous place, and it is not suitable to stay there. , there is a risk of mutiny from time to time, and the Japanese harass Taiwan, which is very violent. All coastal ports must be fortified. How to raise funds? As far as the Ministry of Households is concerned, the monthly military pay is not enough to cover the expenditure. Taxes have been announced to stop the donations, and the lijin has been searched out. All the ministers at home and abroad are worried about the lack of national funds, and the garden workers have to be ten to twenty million. When the inside and outside are empty, they can get this huge sum Do you want to do such a huge project? This trend cannot but be stopped. The emperor should use the night to work hard, and to be safe in the world, to comfort the hearts of the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and to be the greatest filial piety.If the world's fat is exhausted for the work of the garden, with the holiness and benevolence of the empress dowager, I will definitely not bear it!For more than ten years, the empress dowager and the emperor have made great efforts to rule the country. They have mobilized all the bandits and wiped them out one by one.Today, the general situation is rough and the vitality has not recovered. When there is a shortage, it is not urgent. Those who know think it is the emperor's filial piety; The ministers in charge also know that the work is too expensive and there is no day for success. The door of entry is the gradual opening of flattery, especially for those who are not careless.Although it is said that there is no huge amount of money, the donations of military supplies have not stopped, and the contributions of garden workers continue to be donated. With limited wealth, how can it be used infinitely?The ministers thought that instead of accumulating public grievances, harming the state, and achieving success in all difficulties, it would be better to stop work as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in the world?I hope that the Empress Dowager will issue a decree to stop the garden work, and the mighty virtue of the Empress Dowager and the filial piety of the Emperor will surpass the ages! " After listening quietly, they all said that it was a big deal to be tactful and sincere.Only Shen Guifen raised a question, "It seems that one has to worry about it," he said, "Old Summer Palace is indeed a sad place, and there is no such huge amount of money for this huge project at this time. , so what?" "Watch!" Bao Jun and Shen Guifen have the same aura, and they agree with each other in everything, and Shen Guifen's views are indeed very deep and detailed, so he greatly appreciates it. "I heard that something was wrong, Jing Sheng said it was right. We have to make room for the higher up to retreat." Everyone think about what the two of them said, including Li Hongzao, they all think it is insightful, but King Dun is straightforward, pointing to Baojun and said: "You have always been in charge of the purse. How much money do you want to raise? If you don’t have a hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand, don’t say that before it’s too late.” "I can't do it if I don't say it!" Bao Jun replied, "Build a place to entertain the queen mothers of the two palaces. No one has ever dared to refute this. If this is the case, if the emperor wants to build Sanhai, it is not too demanding." .” "Hey!" Prince Gong was a little bored, looked at Prince Chun and Wen Xiang, and said in a consulting tone: "Just cultivate Sanhai! Anyway, I have to give something." "It can't be given so easily." Wen Xiang said slowly, "It still needs to be discussed." "I don't think there is any need to discuss it. Since it is to invite the two empress dowagers to surrender, why not see what the two empress dowagers mean." "Qi Ye is right." Li Hongzao strongly agreed, because doing so would not lose the original intention of asking the empress dowagers of the two palaces to intervene, "I think, let's make a decision on this!" Prince Gong nodded, and made a new conclusion: "Pass the booklet to Changchun Palace first. As a last resort, take Xiu Sanhai as a retreat." "Everyone keeps this in mind." Wen Xiang added, "It's better not to cultivate if you can. Once it spreads, people will make a fuss first. Why bother to open up a way to make money for others?" This refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Everyone nodded and said yes, and dispersed one after another.Only Prince Chun did not leave, and he still had something to discuss with Prince Gong in secret. "Weng Shuping is back." He said, "Let's find a way to get that Wang out, Brother Six, do you think it's okay?" "Wouldn't this have swept up our young master's face? Besides, it's easy to be suspicious, so there's no need to worry about it." The first suggestion was dismissed, and King Chun made the second suggestion, thinking that since the empress dowagers of the two palaces have been alarmed, it must be done thoroughly. The construction of the Old Summer Palace is of course for the two ends of treasury funds and people's hearts, and it is also to prevent the emperor from inspecting the garden. In the name of a worker, he wears casual clothes.Everyone dared not tell these things to the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, so it is better to expose it now, and let the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces know that Xingyuan Gong still has such a great harm. Prince Gong took this suggestion very seriously.He also had a more advanced idea. Playing the Empress Dowager Ming in this way showed that everyone opposed the garden workers, and it was inconvenient to express their secrets clearly, and he could gain the understanding of the Empress Dowager Cixi who was deeply interested in garden repairs. "Then please help me, brother and sister, let's go to the palace for a while!" "Let her go with the sixth sister-in-law," Chun Wang said again, "or make an appointment with the fifth sister-in-law." "No need! It's enough for me to see my brother and sister go alone." King Jin heard what Prince Gong meant, and since Zai Li was also messing around outside, it was really inconvenient for Prince Gong Fujin to behave insignificantly to the emperor.So he resolutely agreed, and let Chun Wang Fujin enter the palace the next day to see the Empress Dowager Cixi have a secret report. Get rid of the maids and eunuchs, the sisters whispered.King Jin Fujin told the Empress Dowager Cixi in detail how the emperor changed clothes and wandered around the downtown area outside the front door after each inspection of the garden workers, and said that King Gong, King Jin and others were extremely worried and had no plans. There is no choice but to ask the empress dowager to decide. The Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked and angry, but also infinitely sad and disappointed. I saw the veins throbbing on her temples. Every time she saw this expression, it was her heart that was excited and angry. Even Wang Fujin was a little scared when she saw it. . "The empress dowager doesn't have to blame the emperor too much." Chun Wang Fujin persuaded anxiously, "The emperor is an adult after all, if you persuade him slowly, he will definitely listen." Empress Dowager Cixi was silent, her mind was in a mess and she was thinking a lot.How could the emperor be like this?It's always because of the lack of interest in the palace after the big marriage, and the loneliness of staying alone in the Qianqing Palace.If there was no empress, the emperor would not be angry and ignore Concubine Hui. From the beginning, the root of today's disaster was planted on the day he became empress.Thinking to the end in this way, he wished to abolish the queen with Yizhi. "Cough!" She sighed, her expression turned sad, "It was my fault at the beginning." What she meant was that she was not vigilant enough, not determined, and not high-handed when it came to making Alut as the latter.
