Chapter 152 Complex

The General Administration Office and others were waiting in the military service room outside Zunyi Gate, waiting for the emperor to summon him. The emperor was very satisfied with their work, and each had rewards, and each had smiles as if gold had flew on his face. However, it was not suitable for noise here. They met each other and said with great difficulty.

After a while, Sai Shanga and others appeared from the door and walked over from afar. Everyone knew that the meeting of the Military Affairs Office was over, and they were next. Sure enough, Liu'er Hui Jingshou was the minister who led the lead today, and walked up with a smile. He first asked Yi An. After standing up, he said, "The emperor summoned him, the prince, and he is listed as an adult. Please come in with me."

"Please lead the way."

When everyone arrived at the gate of Yangxin Hall, an eunuch raised the door curtain of Xiangfei Zhu. Everyone entered one after another, and performed a ceremony of monarch and ministers with three kneelings and nine bows on the mat, saying long live the words, and then replied: "I have read the thank you for your gratitude. This reward was originally intended to reward you for your efforts to the country, and when discussing with the British, it was reasonable and conscientious, greatly increasing the majesty of our heavenly dynasty. However, the more important thing is to praise you for being able to break prejudices, not to reject barbarians and barbarics, nor to treat the people of the world, especially those who are so disrespectful and boycotted. I am very satisfied with the errands I have to pay attention to. Therefore, I have given me the rewards a few days ago, which I want to say in front of."

"Yes." The leader Yi met with him, and the reply was naturally due to him: "My brother followed the emperor's decree and should be cautious. Consulting with the British is a major event for the welfare of the Qing Dynasty. Even if I was criticized by some people, I should have the plan for the whole world of the Qing Dynasty. I should have the breeze passed by my Qing Dynasty, and it is not worth a laughing word."

"Did you hear it? Lao Liu's words are reasonable." The emperor said without hiding his appreciation in his heart and said loudly: "Do you know what I said to Du Shoutian on the eighth day of the fourth month of this year when I was in the Qingyan of the Jiuzhou Province of the Summer Palace?"

"Yes, I know."

"That's it. Today's world is not like the time of Emperor Gaozong, and our Qing Dynasty is no longer the Qing Dynasty when Gaomiao achieved the "Ten Complete Martial Arts". The barbarians in all directions regard the development of science and technology as the foundation of the country, and all kinds of strange and lewd things emerge one after another. Even if our Celestial Empire reads etiquette and law, and does not regard such things as novelty, it can't stand the opponent's ships and cannons, and open their doors to our country in one battle, right?"

"What the emperor said is very much. When I was ordered to leave the capital this time, I had seen the British sailing on the north. It was indeed a strong ship, a powerful cannon. On the other hand, although our military equipment was not disrepair for a long time, it was not very useful. The emperor ordered me to discuss with the British to buy artillery items. I thought it was actually a sage philosopher's opinion that it was to strengthen my Qinghai defense and ensure that my Tian Dynasty had no worries!"

The emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to flatter me. This time I asked you to come here to tell you that in the future, there will be more and more things in the General Administration's yamen. You must take responsibility seriously, especially when discussing with the barbarians. You must remember what I said to you in the first place. Do you understand?"

"Yes. I should remember the holy words and dare not forget them for a moment!"

"That's it, you guys go down."

The group knelt out, and the one to be summoned below was Sushun, who had just been transferred to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. After entering the hall, he bowed and bowed down and gave a great gift. He only heard the young man on the imperial throne ask: "Sushun, I see all your actions in the position of the Nine Gate Admiral this year, especially when the British entered the capital, you have done it well. I know all of these."

After saying a word, Su Shun's eyes immediately wet. The emperor knew that I had finally had the hard work over the past year not wasted! Naturally, I could not cry in front of you, but his voice became very ugly: "I can only win the praise from my master, even if I die immediately, I can fall down with a smile!"

The emperor smiled: "Get up and talk."

"Yes." Su Shun hurriedly wiped his eyes and climbed up from the ground: "This time you were transferred to the Ministry of Justice. First, there are indeed shortcomings there, and second, you are too stubborn and sometimes you are prone to extremes. If you are left in the Military and Ma Si yamen for a long time and have a square roaming with Shangguan Yuanyao, both for you and those around you will have more harm than good. Do you understand what I said?"

Su Shun didn't understand very well. He was quite smart, and his only flaw was that he read less. He could guess what Emperor Yu said half-heard and half-guessed, and he could also guess a rough idea. He hurriedly knelt down for the second time: "The slave is a person who is not very useful, but fortunately the emperor did not use his servants as vulgar, and he used it only in detail. The slave felt inexplicably impressed."

The emperor was confused about what he said to him. After thinking about it, he knew that he was incoherent in his mood and did not think it was offensive. He continued to say: "The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the world's reputation for punishment, and his personality is worthy of yours. There is only one section. You should not be reckless after taking office. Especially since the Qing Dynasty's criminal laws are vast and there are many volumes, you must always clarify your clues before you can start."

"Yes. The servants must take Qijing'an as an example and sort out the matter in many ways, and always make things unfinished."

"You are still young and are willing to take on responsibilities. I have changed your transfer to the Ministry of Justice this time, and I also like you as a talent for creation. If you can achieve something in the Ministry of Justice, I will have great use to you in the future. You must not mislead yourself. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand. I must never let the Lord ask me."

After lunch, the emperor rested for a while, the door curtain was raised, and an internal memorial office held the memorial and entered the warmer: "Emperor, Fujian has been in a hurry for 600 miles."

The emperor's heart moved: the memorials outside the capital were restored or lost, as well as the governor, general, admiral, academic affairs or worries, were allowed to be transferred with the "six hundred miles" to the memorials. Today, the peace and security of all places, so there must be someone missing. Sure enough, I took the yellow box and hurriedly looked at the title titled on the sealing "print". It was the Fujian Governor's Association: "Former Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Lin Zexu's Vacation".

The emperor frowned slightly, and Lin Zexu died? He was originally planning to let him get back to the court at some time next year. He didn't expect that he would be destined to be near. It was also a pity for him to come back.

I opened it and saw that, sure enough, the inner part said that on May 17th this year, Lin Zexu was in peace at the ancestral home of Fujian Houguan. I reported truthfully that my emperor met his old ministers and had his own decorative scriptures.

The emperor carefully read the memorial and put it aside: "Come?"

"Long live the Lord?"

"Look at who is outside and let them in."

"twitter."

The Military Affairs Office also received a letter and was preparing in a hurry. Once an old minister died, he first had to write a posthumous title. This is the job of the cabinet. Only Jia Zhen in the Military Affairs Office was the position of the Grand Secretary of the Tiren Pavilion. The posthumous title was always in charge of the cabinet, so he was willing to take charge of this matter. And there was another embarrassing thing: the flowering period was about to be approached, and this memorial by the governor of Fujian was really not the same.

The so-called flower-clothing period refers to the festive events in the court - for example, the emperor's birthday - in the first three, four or seven days, the officials in the court must wear festive court robes, which is called flower-clothing in Manchu customs. According to convention, in these few days, there are things such as officials in other provinces and disasters in the province, which are all obliged to be reported by Chen - Lin Zexu's filming news just happened to be reported two days before the flower-clothing period. I think the emperor is not in a good mood either.

Jia Zhen thought randomly, and asked the military secretary to prepare a posthumous cabinet to propose a posthumous report, while continuing to discuss the posthumous title. The latter item was quite difficult. Lin Zexu submitted a letter from the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to resign from his post. He was also considered a free employee. Such a person is not as good as an official in the office. Therefore, whether this posthumous title is superior to that of an official in the office will be changed. After the posthumous title is changed (that is, it is called the posthumous title. For example, if you propose a posthumous title to Wenzhong, when you mention it in the future, you will be called Lin Wenzhong. Such a process is called a posthumous title). Whether you can enter the Zhaozhong Temple in the capital, the Virtuous Temple, establish a special temple in your hometown and province of meritorious service, establish a biography of your life, and all the disciplinary actions during your lifetime, and complete rehabilitation depends on the meaning of the above.

Everyone was a little confused. The cabinet had already ended, and the words "Zhong, Xiang, Gong, and Duan" were all designed. Sai Shanga had no idea about these words, so he waved his hand and signaled to leave them to Jia Zhen to see.

The highest posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous post

"I also think...Brother Yonge? What's wrong with you?"

Peng Yunzhang reluctantly wiped his tears and squeezed out a wry smile: "Peng is rude."

Sai Shanga saw it, and his heart moved, and he shouted in a long voice: "Come on. Get clean water for Lord Peng." He said to Peng Yunzhang again: "I'm afraid I'll scream after a while, so I dare not lose my etiquette in front of the emperor."

Peng Yunzhang hurriedly stood up and bowed to Sai Shanga: "Duocheng's care."

After washing his face here, Sula sent an order: The emperor called out.

Several people packed up and entered the hall one after another. After saluting, the emperor asked, "I don't remember Lin Zexu's age very much, right?"

"Yes. Lin Zexu was born in the fiftieth year of Qianlong and is 65 years old this year."

"What a pity." The emperor sighed, and said, "Last year I issued an edict to ask the governors from all over the country to visit and recommend talents. The first recommended person to the governor of Fujian was Lin Zexu. However, the transcript said that he was recuperating at home due to hernia. I considered that he was exhausted by boat and car, which was not good for him. I originally wanted to use it in the future, but I didn't want to. Oh, it's not the New Year."

"Mr. Lin was a public servant throughout his life, and he was very sincere in serving the country. He could not be the right person in the court. He could be called a model in the world. When the emperor was alive, he mentioned it occasionally, and the holy heart once sighed at the things he had done back then. He called Lin Shaomu a pillar of the country. He did not avoid difficulties and had the courage to take responsibility for the responsibilities he gave to the emperor. He actually set an example for us."

"Well, I have heard from the Emperor's Caoter mention this." The emperor asked again: "Can the cabinet be written about the matter behind Lin Zexu?"

"Yes. I have already written four words, please review them by the emperor."

The emperor took the manuscript written by the cabinet and nodded with satisfaction: "Just Jia Zhen said, Lin Zexu was successful in planning the country, and he was not as good as the slightest selfishness. I think the word "loyalty" is very good. It is enough to comfort Lin Zexu's glory behind him. It must be loyal."

"Yes. Lin Shaomu was praised by the emperor and was able to receive this beautiful posthumous title behind him. He must be smiling in the sky."

"There are some things that happened to him after him. Have you discussed it?"

"Lin Zexu is a free agent, so I dare not make any comments."

The emperor had only met Lin Zexu several times since he was a child. At that time, he was very young and had no deep impression. However, as a later generation, he was too familiar with Lin Zexu's deeds in Guangdong. He was very grateful for his hard work for the country: "Lin Zexu was always a minister who made meritorious in the court. Although he was occasionally blamed for the incident of Guangdong's gunpowder, it was considered a flaw but not a shame. The emperor still valued it very much."

After saying a few words slowly, the emperor made a decision in his heart: "Jia Zhen, draw an order."

"twitter."

"Lin Zexu's old ministers died once, and in order to comply with the old ministers, the court gave him the following glory: First, after giving him a posthumous name change, he was posthumously awarded the title of Taibao; he was worshipped in the capital Zhaozhong Temple; he established a special temple in Fujian, Humen, Xinjiang, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces with meritorious achievements; he rewarded 1,000 taels of silver to mourn; and all the punishments during his term were reopened." At this point, he stopped: "Tell me, what else do you have?"

"The emperor is very careful, and I know that I am not good at it. However, the emperor has allowed the establishment of a special temple in Humen to serve as a priest. It is related to the British. I think it is okay..."

"Huh?" The emperor knew where Jia Zhen's words came from. The smoke of Humen triggered armed conflicts between the two countries. Although many years have passed, the court and the people are still confused. If they were allowed to set up a special temple in Humen, it would probably give many people a wrong understanding: the emperor has not forgotten what happened back then, so he issued an edict to encourage and reward Lin Zexu's achievements back then. If that is the case, the new policy he would gradually implement in the future is inconsistent with the British's trade on a larger scale. It is a stern advice that must be considered seriously!

As soon as he thought of this, the emperor nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, we will follow Jia Zhen's request and avoid the establishment of a special temple in Humen."

"The emperor is doing good deeds and I admire you."

The emperor remembered another incident: "I remember that Lin Zexu's son worked in the Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes. Lin Zexu's fifth son Lin Gongshu served in the Autumn Trial Office of the Ministry of Justice. He also made great efforts in the last case of the Ministry of Revenue's treasury of the treasury of the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Autumn Review Office?" The emperor repeated aloud and smiled: "Is it one of the eight saints?" (See details later.)

Listening to the emperor's words, everyone smiled at the same time: "Reply to the emperor's words, that's right."

"Okay, after Lin Gongshu is fully fed, he will lead the lead."

"twitter."

Chapter 152: The Birthday Festival

The ninth day of the sixth month is the 20th birthday of Emperor Xianfeng. The emperor's birthday is the first of the three major festivals in the year, called Wanshou. What is slightly different from the two Mid-Autumn Festival ceremonies that Wanshou Festival requires the participation of the concubines of the inner court.

On that day, the Inner Priest set up Zhonghe Shao Music under the eaves of the Ganqing Palace, and then the Danbi Music was set up in the Ganqing Palace. Then the concubines were invited, headed by the Zhenfei Niuhulu, who had the highest rank. They all had a collection of dresses and were ordered to be in the east and west warm pavilions of the Ganqing Palace. The emperor promoted the seat in the Grand Historical Palace. After the ministers knelt three times and nine times, they returned to the palace. The Inner Priest asked the Emperor to be promoted to the Ganqing Palace. The Zhonghe Shao Music made the "Secret of Ganping".

Then the inner supervisor put down the palace curtain, and the inner supervisor reported to lead all the concubines to the side of His Majesty Dan (the concubines cannot kneel unless there is a queen), and went to the north to kneel and bow three times. After the ceremony, the concubines returned to the palace and the palace supervisor opened the palace curtain.

The emperor stepped down the alchemy step, climbed the Jade Law to return to the palace, and was ritually accomplished.

After returning to the palace, a group of concubines served in the Yangxin Hall, the emperor passed on the family banquet, and enjoyed a lunch with people around him. In the afternoon, as usual, they should be enjoying the show at Chonghua Palace - this is a tradition passed down from the reign of Emperor Gaozong - but considering that Emperor Xuanzong had not yet worshipped the Anshan Mausoleum, although the outside world was no longer filled with sounds and the eight sounds were kept secret, there were still no sounds in the palace, and gongs and drums were sounding together.

After lunch, I was idle around. The emperor took the imperial ministers, Prince Zheng Duanhua and Prince Yi Zaiyuan, with only one Liufu around him. The monarch and ministers were walking in the car. Not far from the Yangxin Hall was the Military Affairs Office. "Shortly after I ascended the throne last year, I met Xu Naizhao and Yan Jingming in the south room of the Military Affairs Office. Hey! I didn't expect that I could get two scholars out of thin air without leaving the ninth level of the deep palace."

"Yes. Xu Xinchen and Yan Danchu met in the duty room, and they all regarded it as an interesting thing between the emperor and the court officials. There was even more envious of him. He waited in the duty room every day, hoping that he would be as lucky as these two people to be at Mu Tianen!"

"The kindness of heaven is like a sea. It is also a blessing for these two people. But I am afraid that those who are guarding each other will have no real talent. Is it a blessing if I see the emperor?"

"Oh. King Yi's words make a big sense." The emperor turned around and smiled in praise: "Seeing me may not be a blessing, and those who have never admired me may not be a disaster." He turned around and pointed forward: "Let's go and take a look at the Military Affairs Office."

Liufu agreed, walked forward quickly, arrived at the military office's Zhilu Gate, and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

There was a panic in the Military Affairs Office, and everyone led by Sai Shanga hurriedly came out and knelt down at the door: "Please respectfully ask the Emperor for the Holy An."

"Well, I." The emperor waved his hand with a smile and kept saying, "All the rules are exempted." However, he did not enter the military office, but turned around and entered the southern room.

He has been here last year, but that time he just sat outside for a while, and after saying a few words to Xu and Yan, he returned to the palace. This time it was different. The emperor actually walked around the southern room very seriously. When he looked around, his beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: the southern room of the Military Affairs Office is five north rooms, the two on the left are full-staffed Zhang Jingqu Houses, the two on the right are Han Zhengqu Houses, and the one in the middle is Sula, which is used by papermakers.

When I went in, I saw that the space inside was very small. Darami and Bangda used square tables, so the others had to squeeze on a long table placed under the window to work. The tabletop was stretched with a stained blue cloth, and the dirt was covered with mud and dirt. In addition to the stationery, there were also several candlesticks, which were covered with wax tears.

There are several small square stools under the table, and the space is very small. The emperor probably estimated that it was fine when there were fewer people. If there was an emergency and many official duties required to be operated at the same time, I was afraid that even turning around and moving would appear cramped.

After looking for a while, I knew it. The emperor turned around and entered the north room. The space here was not very spacious. In June, the Zhongwo Room of the Military Affairs Office was cramped. Several windows facing north were wide open. The air was filled with a faint smell of dry tobacco. Liu Fuxu helped the emperor sit under the plaque of "Yi Tang" written by Shizong. Zheng, Yi and several people from the Military Affairs Office stood on both sides with their hands down.

"Sashan?"

"The slave is here."

"I just looked at it. The terrain of the southern house is small and simple. Although it can be seen with the simple style, it is really inconsistent with the new spirit." His eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he said, "When I came last year, I was not familiar with this festival. You... should have talked to me when you meet every day."

Saishana hit the horse's hoof sleeves and knelt down first, but did not dare to speak, but just leaned down and met his head.

The emperor probably understood what he meant: the emperor had many places such as Shangshang Study Room, Nanshang, etc., but he had never seen any patrols to the Military Affairs Office. He had never known all the sufferings. As a subordinate, he would never dare to request relocation or expansion without authorization. He could only be kind to the best. Thinking of this, he said: "Peng Yunzhang?"

"I'm here."

"When the Ministry of Works conducts detailed surveys, the General Office of the Military Affairs Office and the Nanlu Courthouse, the Strategic Museum is fully expanded. Although the Military Affairs Office is not as valuable as you military ministers, they are all knowledgeable people. In such a narrow environment, the places you see are full of dirt, which can easily make people physically and mentally exhausted."
To be continued...
