3475 Zeng Guofan fired
"The Empress Dowager...the Prince...the minister...is going to die..."
No one expected that Zeng Guofan would say such an unlucky sentence, and everyone quickly persuaded him, "What did the Grand Marshal say? Your life span is still long..."
Zeng Guofan didn't mean to be a joke at all, but said with a serious expression, "I know myself, and there are no immortals in the world, let alone the weak ministers... Even the emperor of the Nine Five, can't live long live?"
This is what Zeng Guofan can say. If someone else says it, he will have to be dragged out and beaten to death, but Zhuang Zeng said that no one in the entire palace dared to refute it.
Ci'an sighed, "How did the Grand Marshal say this sad topic... When Long Live Master comes back, you can rest well... Just find a place where you like beautiful mountains and rivers you like, and take good care of your health..."
"I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness, but the scenery in the capital is not as good as my hometown... I'm afraid I can't go back..."
"I haven't had much time, so I don't want to waste my saliva and go around in circles... All the polite words are spared, so hurry up and tell me serious things!"
All topics today revolve around one central idea, that is, Emperor Tongzhi’s return to the country!
The two empress dowagers and several princes looked at each other, but the honest Prince Chun Yihuan spoke first and took out a note of the details of the greeting of the saint in the capital.
This describes in detail all the driving process and the expenses required, how many troops are used, how many civilians are used, how many colored sheds are used, how many fireworks are set off, how many people are organized to welcome the driving along the street... Everything is full of all.
After listening for a quarter of an hour, Zeng Guofan started to cough, "Cough cough... Cough cough... Prince Chun, your nine admirals are too lenient... Do you also do the affairs of the Ministry of Rites?"
"There are so many things that the old man should do here. You can tell me... this is not appropriate!"
"Ah..." Yihuan's face turned slightly red, "Is this old man going on a business trip? I mean to tell the Queen Mother first..."
The fifth master Yiqiu couldn't stand this kind of twists and turns, so he stood up and said, "Master, handsome... let me say a few words, you're straightforward, I'm not patient with listening to these trivial things..."
"Okay... Then I won't talk nonsense. The first thing I want to ask... Who will take over this royal family?"
In one sentence, the whole room was quiet. Zeng Guofan went up and hit Yi and Yihuan with one shot. In fact, this was what the two princes said.
The little emperor returned from studying abroad and returned from Europa, half a earth away, thousands of miles away. This is a major event that China has not experienced in thousands of years!
The scene of picking up the car must not be small, this means that Zeng Guofan is in poor health. If he is in good health, he has to go to Shanghai early to wait!
Although there was no explicit statement, there were also unspoken rules in the court. So many forces could not be missing, no one could succeed! Among the Hunan Army forces, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guoquan, Hu Xueyan... all the big guys went to greet them.
Among the Qingliu Confucian officials, Weng Tonghe also took action, and even the foreign devils from Dongjiaomin Lane sent a counselor to Shanghai to greet him. When Zaichun returned to Sijiu City, the ministers had to greet him in person.
Now the ball is under your feet. The emperor of Aixin Jueluo family is back. Who will pick you up? Why haven’t you selected someone until today?
This shot hit the two Red Princes. Prince Gong and Prince Chun are the most powerful among the Manchus. One of them must come out to pick them up.
No other prince can replace him, and it would be a bit disrespectful to anyone else.
But it's very interesting. Neither of these two princes wants to go!
In the final analysis, it’s just one word. It’s a waste of time to take over. It takes three or four months to go back and forth... For such a long time, the errands on your hands can’t be stopped!
At this time, the court can mix sand!
Who will temporarily supervise the Xishan Camp? You can't say that anyone else is who you are, and the Empress Dowager must also assign someone to come in.
Who can take over the errands of the Nine Gates? God knows who the imperial court is stuffing into it!
The capital is the center of power of the empire, and leaving easily is a big taboo!
Zeng Guofan didn't talk nonsense and just pointed out the window paper. "Two princes, say something... It's not appropriate for you to not show up for this matter... Cough cough cough..."
The Japanese Liu and Yihuan looked at each other, but Yi spoke in advance, "Oh... Logically speaking, I, the uncle, should have a trip, but this summer, suffered from a cold warrior in the training of Xishan, and my legs hurt..."
"I'm afraid I can't do my legs and feet..."
After saying that, he beat his legs. Cixi was almost angry when she heard it while listening. She thought to herself that you still have legs and feet. Zeng Guofan said that it was not possible, that was really impossible. Do you dare to pretend to be sick?
Yihuan also spoke when he saw this posture, "Oh, the errand of the Nine Gate Admiral is so important... Before Master Long live, I have to crack down on a group of people first, and I will clean up the place!"
"Without me personally, many big thieves could not handle it...especially some naughty people in the Eight Banners. It would definitely not work without me, and others would not listen..."
"Or... Brother Fifth, go and pick you up..."
Emperor Daoguang gave birth to many sons. The eldest died in his twenties, the second child died of illness when he was young, and the third child died of old age. He died of old age and became the later Emperor Xianfeng.
Next is the ignorant Lao Wu Yixun, the famous hero Wang Xiaowu, in Beijing.
The sixth brother is the Japanese devil Liuyi, and the seventh brother is Prince Chun Yihuan. The eighth brother died of illness the year before yesterday. The nineth brother is still alive but not in good health. She is also an idle prince who doesn’t understand politics and economy by eating, drinking, having fun and not understanding politics and economy.
At the moment, Lao Jiu is impossible to count on, and he is not qualified to come out to discuss politics. Even Lao Wu has only gradually become popular in the past two years. The real power lies with Lao Liu and Lao Qi.
Unexpectedly, both of the Red Princes retreated and refused to leave the capital, the power center. This political vigilance is really admirable.
Zeng Guofan saw through and didn't say it out loud, but just sighed in a low voice and said, "It's not impossible for the fifth master to go... But the fifth master still doesn't have a serious job!"
"When you pick up the car, foreigners are embarrassed to see it..."
When Yi saw that Zeng Guofan was not chasing him, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This matter is easy to deal with. The Zongli Yamen will add a deputy general minister, and the errand-work of Yihuan, who served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was also given up... These two identities are worthy of the fifth brother!"
"Ah? Me? This..." Yi Qi was stunned at that time. No matter how he thought about it, he would become an official when he entered the palace today!
There are many idle princes in Beijing, and there are many red princes, but there are not many princes who have responsibilities. Has the deputy general manager of the Zongli Yamen and the Ministry of Internal Affairs all given up?
"Can I still be an official? Are you kidding me?" Yi Qiong didn't like Emperor Daoguang since he was a child, because this kid didn't like studying so much that he was not a good source of study at all.
It is precisely this that the four Emperors of Xianfeng were not afraid at all, because there was no threat at all, so they were always rich but not powerful.
Today, I didn’t expect Zeng Guofan to make up for this shortcoming!
What a clever person, Tsian was able to figure out Zeng Guofan's subtext at once, and she quickly beat the snake and went with the stick!
"Uncle, don't refuse... Why didn't you learn it... Besides, there are so many relatives who will help you, just put a name..."
