Section 68 Public Discussion of the Ministry of Interchange (2)

The British proposed the proposal to fulfill the contract and enter the city. The emperor submitted his conspiracy to the cabinet for discussion. It was of great importance. Headed by Zhuo Bingtian, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, the Grand Secretary of the Tiren Pavilion, Qi Junzao, the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary Sai Shanga, and the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Palace, the Cabinet Office was lined up in full swing.

After everyone sat down, Zhuo Bingtian first told the story and finally said: "The emperor's intention is that my country of etiquette in the Qing Dynasty must not do such a traitor. However, the people of Guangdong and Guangxi are simple, and the people of Yi were unable to let go of the 20th year of Daoguang for a long time. Therefore, if the story is rash, I am afraid that there will be civil changes, which is even more unwilling to the emperor. In this dilemma, I will hand this matter over to the public discussion. All colleagues can express their opinions, only to be lenient and ardent."

"Also, the emperor intends to recruit British envoys to Beijing. Whether the matter is feasible or not must be submitted to the public for discussion." Zhuo Bingtian paused for a moment, and his eyes turned around the people around him: "If this is done, how etiquette should be performed in the British envoys to Beijing, it must be properly studied. It must always be satisfied with the emperor and the British envoys willing to obey; if it is not done, it must also come up with a charter to report to the emperor. I hope that all the officials can convince the people of the world and satisfy the emperor when they advance and retreat. Everyone should express their great views."

The British enters Beijing for a century and is of great importance to the Qing Dynasty, so the cabinet lobby looked at each other, and no one was willing to be the first person to express his great views. Without any help, Zhuo Bingtian had to click: "Criminal Prince Su, please tell me first?"

Prince Su's Crown Prince Huafeng is 46 years old. Last year, he added the title of a lost minister. Although he was very stupid, he was loyal enough. After the emperor ascended the throne, Zaiquan reported him to the position of deputy chief of the clan's office. He almost didn't understand such military and national affairs. He heard Zhuo Bingtian's name, so he nodded and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing. I only know that what the emperor said is that I cannot do such a treacherous thing in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the British entered the city and had to make a long-term plan."

After saying this, Zhuo Bingtian smiled bitterly in his heart, and he had to flatter him: "The prince said it bluntly. It's time to make a long-term plan. Who should I do next?"

With a leader, more people spoke next. As the Minister of Rites, Sun Ruizhen had the most say in the issue of the rituals and rituals mentioned in his words. He stood up and said, "I thought that if the British envoy was willing to bow his head and kneel down, he might as well allow him to enter the capital once. As the emperor said, the prosperity and wealth of the Qing Dynasty, can't the common people in the outside world pay attention to it, and will it be beneficial to promote the merits of education?"

"That's the case. But Ying Gong, I don't know if there is a good plan to make the Ying envoy bow his head in front of you?" The refutation was Wei Ren, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a relative of the Mongolians, who spoke very inattentively. He said: "The events during the Gaomiao period are a lesson for the previous ones!"

"That's why I have to wait for my ministers to discuss this matter." Zhou Zupei immediately took his words and answered snatchfully.

There was a reason why Zhou Zupei called out loud in the cabinet court. He realized that although the emperor issued the order this time, he was in the cabinet to discuss it, but in fact, the temple was alone, and he was afraid that it had already been discussed. The matters that the Ministry of Public Discussion were just a formality. At that time, he stood up and argued loudly: "If the British and Japanese unwilling to bow their heads and spread it out, everyone in the world knew that the Qing Dynasty had done the most benevolent and righteous acts. However, because the British and Japanese unwilling to enter the capital by themselves, they would be rude to enter the Guangdong city, which would be the case that the country would be rude."

His words attracted many people's approval, and Zhou Zupei was also proud of his feelings when he looked around. However, there was one section: Even if the words were reasonable, why should he be so aggressive against his colleagues? What he could think of was that there were people in the court who could think of it, and he knew more clearly why his attitude was. It was just to invite the emperor's favor with Kang Yan.

Zeng Guofan curled his lips and coldly told Wuren to refute him: "Brother Zhitai, I have something to ask for advice."

"Oh? What's Brother Disheng talking about?"

"What if the barbarians insist on not bowing their heads and kneeling down?"

"Of course..." Zhou Zupei was stunned. Zeng Guofan's words were to attack Zi Zhishi with his spear. Like Zhou Zupei, he also guessed that the emperor's intention was to let the British envoy enter the capital, but such a matter could not be arbitrary and had to be submitted to the Ministry for discussion. However, Zhou Zupei's words were extremely loopholes. If the British envoy refused to perform the ritual of kneeling, the matter would be as difficult as the emperor's wishes, and his scheming would be in vain.

Zhou Zupei was speechless after Zeng Guofan's question. At this moment, a whip in the quiet palace sounded: "The emperor is here!"

The ministers took the horse and bowed down. The emperor sat in the middle, smiling with a spring breeze on his face: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I am here today, first of all, to take such an opportunity to meet the court ministers. Since I ascended the throne, there have been many people who have not even seen each other. Secondly, it is also for the matter of this court discussion. If I wait for the vote to be submitted, I will not be able to hear about many things, and I may have been here in person because of the remarks." The emperor explained his purpose a few words, turned to look at the court officials standing on both sides, and asked with a smile: "About the matter of court discussion, Zhuo Bingtian?"

"I'm here!"

"How is the discussion?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, I am ordered to convene the six ministers and the princes and ministers in the capital to discuss this matter. Because the matter is so extensive, there is no conclusion yet."

"So, are you interested?"

"Yes!" Zhuo Bingtian agreed, briefly explained the opinions and arguments of the few people just now. Finally, he said: "I all think that if the Ying envoy always does not want to bow his head, this matter should be abandoned."

The emperor knew that there would be such a result, so he came to the cabinet court to meet the ministers. He nodded with satisfaction: "This section is what I thought of. The British envoy was always worried about the Gaomiao incident, and the young tigers and wolves in the Daoguang period were not related to this matter. As Ji Zhichang said a few days ago, he said: The British were thousands of miles away from our heavenly dynasty, and the customs and customs were not in line with each other. I read the "Records of the Holy Ancestors" and realized that it was a brief: The British were in an island country, whether it was in territory or property, far inferior to the upper country of our heavenly dynasty. He only knew that he used force to coerce people and people in other countries to improve himself. It was truly uneducated and did not know the kingly way."

The emperor knew that he was telling lies, but could he tell the ministers about world geography at this time? He could only follow the inherent concepts of this era to enlighten him: "When I carefully and meditate, I also knew that the British and Japanese did not worship their ancestors, did not serve the king and father, and believed in God alone. His words were strange, and his fate was far away. I couldn't think about it in detail. I wouldn't talk about it, but the British and Japanese never held the ritual of kneeling and worshipping from ministers to common people. Even before God, they only held the ritual of kneeling and worshiping, which was different from our heavenly dynasty."

Since the war in 1840, some people in the court have understood the British and Yi, but they have never been very systematic, and they are not so specific. At this moment, I heard that the emperor made it clear and thorough, and I became interested in it for a moment. The court was quiet, and only the emperor's clear voice was heard: "This is not a lie to the affairs of Gaomiao. So, I think, since the British and Yi have always had such customs and humanities, should my country be treated with courtesy?"

"I dare not agree with the emperor's words." A voice suddenly came to mind in the crowd, and everyone looked over. It was Chen Huai who had made many comments because of the emperor's luck.

Because of Chen Fuen's incident, the emperor believed that he was a direct advice because of his true nature. Not only did he not punish him, but on the contrary, he also appointed him as the Henan Dao Censor - this was also considered a way to repay his courage to "embroider the clothes and point directly".

The censors in the capital were divided into "districts", including Jingji Road, which was headed by Jingji Road, responsible for inspecting the political affairs of the Cabinet, Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing and Wanping County; then Henan Road: responsible for inspecting the political affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhan Shifu, infantry commander's yamen, and five cities.

Beijing City is under the feet of the emperor, with most wealthy families. Even if the masters are as reserved and self-reliant as Zeng Guofan, they cannot stand by the family slaves who bully others. There are often wealthy families who are stalemate to fight for the lane, and they quarreled with each other, and no one allowed them. However, as soon as they heard the 'Civilian' coming, they would immediately drive and disperse, not daring to stay for a while.

The Henan Dao Censor has the responsibility to inspect and inspect the city censors, and is also called the "Censor among Censors". In Sensenbotai, only the top figure can do it.

As the emperor valued it so much, Chen Huai was naturally grateful and established among his colleagues the character of scholars who did not avoid the powerful and spoke out indirectly. The last time the emperor brought Wen Qing and others to Liulichang, he was the first to impeach Wen Qing. Although the final result was that the emperor took the initiative to take responsibility and threw his bullets back, he was also restrained and did not dare to do such a visit again. At this moment, he had his opinions and naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor was really afraid of him and nodded with a wry smile: "Chen Huai, what are you going to say?"
