Chapter 149 The first discussion on the same text (1)

Section 149 The First Discussion Same Text (1)

Everyone left the West Warehouse Pavilion of Ganqing Palace, and felt a little confused for a moment. Especially Yi, who bowed to a few people, walked a few steps forward, and turned back: "Peiheng, Shaoquan, you said, the emperor ordered me to draft the Tongwenguan to establish a charter. Does it have any profound meaning?"

"What?" Bao Jing kept it a secret: "Does the prince have any opinions on setting the rules of the same literary museum?"

"Of course, I am respectful to the order. The emperor gave the oral order in the pavilion. Didn't Peiheng hear it?" Yi young, when he was just replying, he was deeply moved by the emperor's gentle words. He knew that since the last time he failed to speak in the Nanshu Room and the time he was cautious in handling this time, he finally returned his will and his grace could be restored. He was also trying to use this matter to strengthen favor, so he was very enthusiastic about his attitude in his words.

Bao Jing and Li Hongzhang probably guessed that the emperor suddenly mentioned that such a motion was intended to blow the air in advance, but the two had different ideas.

In Baofeng's case, the emperor summoned the British to Beijing and discussed, and proposed to buy artillery from the British, which clearly confirmed the foreword that some people in the court had foreseen: The emperor was enterprising and increased the national strength by increasing the British who were regarded as barbaric clans by officials and citizens. As a minister, he should work hard to serve and comfort the emperor's heart.

But Li Hongzhang had another plan. He was such a person with great fame and aspirations. This time, as a follower who was discussing with the British, he was different from Yi, Baosheng, Guiliang and others. He was a Han Chinese and from two lists, but he could not follow Li Tangjie's request for resignation after the British entered Beijing. He was inevitably dissatisfied with Qingliu colleagues and ended up with an evaluation saying "abandoning common sense and serving the barbarians with his own life." At this moment, he didn't care about so much.

If the left and right are already ridiculed by others, it is better to let go of your arms. If you can do this, you can feel that you are "courageous in responsibilities" in the eyes of the emperor. If that happens, you will offend your colleagues in the same year and you will be able to lose it.

As soon as he thought of this, Bao Jing and Yi said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he always felt a great pain when talking about the 22nd year of Daoguang change of contracts. Therefore, this time he recruited British people to Beijing and discussed cooperation between the two countries. As for the establishment of the Tongwenguan this time, it is also one of the links. If the prince was willing to slander the emperor, he would have to do it seriously. After all, although Wei Moshen had long learned from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians, the big men in the court always disdained these words."

Yi felt something was in his words and was silent for a while, "Are you saying that the emperor intends to be a fairy in his chess belly?"

This sentence has nothing to do with what Bao Yun said before, but it still has a general meaning. Bao Yun nodded and said slowly: "As a minister, we naturally have to share the worries of the emperor and father, and to contribute to the court."

"I understand." Yi said: "What the emperor meant was to ask me to put in the seal and set up a Tongwenguan. Is it originally for the court officials?"

Hearing this, Li Hongzhang spoke: "You must also plan carefully and don't let those people have too many handles as an excuse for criticism!"

They sang and reconciled. Yi recalled the words he had just answered in the Ganqing Palace, and probably knew it. "Even if it is..." He said: "I am young and have not been in office for a long time. The establishment of the same Wenguan charter depends on Peiheng and Shaoquan to help me."

"This matter is the responsibility of the subordinates." Li Hongzhang's first attitude was expressed: "In the end, others would not forgive me. As long as it can be beneficial to our Qing Dynasty, Hongzhang should work hard."

"It is really admirable that Shaoquan is willing to be so public and forget himself." Yi said again: "Why don't you come to our mansion to discuss the country today?"

"How dare you not follow the prince's spoiled me?"

The three of them climbed the sedan chair and arrived at the Prince Gong's mansion. They didn't care about enjoying the scenery in the mansion when they had something to do. Yi led the two into the study and ordered the servants to wait for the tea payers, so there was no need to say much.

After saying a few words to each other, Bao Feng said: "This time the emperor invited us to meet with the military ministers. There was a lot of vagueness in the oral order. As for the rules of the Tongwenguan, I think we should prepare to come out first, and then come in tomorrow to ask for it, and then listen to the emperor's explanation? Prince, Brother Shaoquan thinks?"

"Well, this is very true. The establishment of the Tongwenguan has never been precedent, and we don't understand the details. We still have to look at the emperor's intention and then make a decision."

After the three of them had a firm discussion, they recalled the rules of the Tongwenguan service that the emperor and he had explained. Yi took the white-cut book on the table, and did not use anyone else to write it. He wrote it himself: "...I secretly made the strong sense of the barbarians. It started in the Jiaqing period, and it was a waste of Jiangning. Zhang Mi even. In the last year, he went straight to Jiangning and threatened to be crazy and perverse, and the barbarian disaster was extremely fierce. Anyone with blood and energy would have no different voices of anger. I know the truth and do not dare to forget the country's plan? When my emperor was in power, he had an imperial edict: 'I have a profound understanding of the current and past situations, and foreign enemies are suffering...' The imperial edict is here, how dare I forget it for a moment?"

"... The barbarians accept that I am weak and control me. If I cannot overcome my anger and become enemies with me, I will probably change every day; if I forget my harm and do not have any equipment, it will cause worries among my descendants. The ancients said: "Take peace as a temporary measure, and duty as a practical matter" is a very difficult argument."

"If you do not invade slightly according to the treaty, and keep the outside world safe and trustworthy, and show your hiding hiding, it has been a few years of requests, but it is not a big harm. I carefully participate in the overall situation, count the overall situation, and submit it to the imperial examination. I beg you to order the ministers and ministers to discuss it together. For example, Meng Yu Yun, I respect this, and there will be any other trivial matters, and there will be any gains and losses. I will report it at any time."

After writing a long section of the hat, Yi carefully examined it, dug out a few typos and corrected it, and handed it to Baosheng on the side: "Brother Peiheng?"

Bao Jing looked at it and smiled helplessly: "It's only a little bit of a question, there is no substantial text. If you present such a copy, you're afraid that it will really make the emperor laugh!"

"I thought there was no need to present this note. Please start tomorrow and ask the emperor how to say the holy intention. What does the prince think?"

Yi also felt that such a comment without any content was a bit ridiculous, and he made a promise: "Just as Brother Shaoquan said. Let's talk about everything after meeting tomorrow."

When he met several people from the Military Affairs Office, the emperor noticed the abnormal expressions of Yi, Baoyun and Li Hongzhang. He thought that the three of them had drafted the charter overnight, but because of the face of the Military Affairs Office and the fear of attacking others, he did not dare to say it clearly. After handling several official matters, Sai Shanga and others knelt out, he turned to look at Yi: "Character, have you drafted the charter?"

"I am stupid." Yi met up and replied, "My brother and I discussed it seriously yesterday with Lord Bao and Lord Li, but he had no idea. Today I asked him to come up with me, and I wanted to ask the emperor to surrender to heaven and speak again, and to make me foolish and wise."

"So?" The emperor also felt that he did this matter a bit out of line. Tongwenguan is the most important institution in modern Chinese history. The establishment of this yamen can be regarded as a true pioneer in the diplomatic system between China and foreign countries. It is no wonder that he was confused by just a few words he said at Ganqing Palace yesterday.

Thinking of this, the emperor's legs fell outside: "The weather outside is very good today, I'll go out for a walk."

Yi was stunned for a moment and was about to persuade him, but he continued, "No need to say anything more, I'm just taking a few steps inside."

"Yes." Since the emperor said he would not leave the palace and traveled to Yuki, it was difficult for a few people to persuade him. Yi took a step forward and picked up his boots: "Brother Rong, please wait..."

The emperor burst into laughter: "I am not Li Taibai, and you are not Gao Lishi, so I'd better avoid it!"

With a word, even the eunuch who was standing at the door couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yi smiled awkwardly, bowed and followed behind him.

The emperor was in front, Yi and others formed the shape of a font behind, and only brought a few guards, and even the palace maids did not follow him. They left the Palace of Yangxin and went straight to Changkang's left gate: "Lao Liu, do you still remember back then? You were young and sleepy. Every time the nanny called you, you didn't wake up, but just shouted: 'The Fourth Brother is gone!' You will get up immediately, and before you even opened your eyes, you will shout: 'The Fourth Brother is waiting for me, the Fourth Brother is waiting for me!'"

Yi Yixiao: "Did you seem to have been a very lazy child since then?"

"Apart from attending classes in the study room, we were always together throughout the day. Now when we recall it, the green lights are interesting!"

Bao Jing and Li Hongzhang both had a heart move: the emperor had not finished speaking, and there was still a half sentence afterwards: I was no longer in childhood! I heard what the emperor said, it seemed... the two of them didn't dare to think too much, lowered their heads, and followed them step by step.

"Sometimes I really want to never grow up, but I will still be those two ignorant children. How great it would be to always maintain the innocence that is in each other's hearts!"

"No matter when, my brother's loyalty to the emperor can be expressed to the heavens." Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly said this sentence came out.

The emperor stopped, looked back at him, nodded with satisfaction: "I absolutely believe in you." He waved his hand again and said, "Don't mention old things, just talk about serious things."

"yes."

"I thought about what you said just now, and there is indeed some truth. Tongwenguan is an emerging yamen that is unprecedented in the Celestial Empire. The purpose of establishing it is. I told you yesterday that it is to take charge of its affairs, prepare to meet with other countries, and enhance the exchanges between that country and our Celestial Empire."

Everyone knew that the emperor was giving an opportunity in person. The three of them followed a few steps and gathered their energy to listen. The emperor noticed that the movements of the few people behind him were different and looked back: "Are you afraid you won't hear clearly?"

Yi blushed and took a step back: "I'm rude."

"It doesn't matter if there are any things you can't understand or remember. Our monarchs and ministers will have to discuss them very seriously in the future. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

"Yes. The emperor is tireless in teaching, and I understand."
