Section 69 Public Discussion of the Ministry of Interchange (3)

Chen Huai heard the emperor's words that required various details of the emperor's rituals to quit the British envoy after entering Beijing. As the censor, this matter was related to the image of the Celestial Empire, so he naturally had to speak out: "Reply to the emperor's words, I think that even if the emperor's gratitude to the British envoy to enter Beijing, the rituals of kneeling and worshiping should not be easily abolished!"

"Oh? To be specific?"

"The emperor is determined to follow the previous agreement on the British Yi's entry into the city. He only needs an edict to spread the word of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Governor of Guangdong. He ordered him to pacify the people in the city with great vitality. He should not watch, attack, or even hurt the people. He would allow the British Yi to enter the capital, but he thought it was not possible!"

"Oh? Why not?"

"The people of the Celestial Empire have never seen such people since ancient times. If they saw this blonde and blue-eyed man on the imperial street, they lost their moral character while watching, and made fun of the British and the people of the Qing Dynasty. Secondly, if the British envoys came to Beijing and performed a bow to him, it would be a bad thing in the hearts of the people of the barbarians. If the emperor allowed him to waive the great gift, then everyone in the world would think that the Qing Dynasty... I am afraid that the British and the small country will be a small country. In the future, we must be careful of the appearance of China and the outside world!"

The emperor gasped for several times, so as to calm the depression in his chest, and still maintained his smile: "I think that not only Chen Huai, but this argument also has a great foothold among the court officials, right? Zhuo Bingtian?"

"Yes! I dare not deceive the emperor. I and Lord Shen see each other. Lord Shen must be careful."

"I originally wanted to find a more suitable opportunity to relax my thoughts with the officials in the court. Today, I just made the right move, so I'll make a promise here."

Headed by Zhuo Bingtian, everyone in the Cabinet Office knelt down at the same time: "I will listen to the Hadith with pride."

"It's not a good thing about the Hadith." The emperor changed his comfortable posture and waved his hand slowly: "As far as I know, although the British and Yi are not educated and do not understand the kingly way. In everything, they take the interests of the other side as their own, but they also have a deep understanding of the righteous way. It's like this time. In the 27th year of Daoguang, Qiying and the British reached an agreement and agreed to handle the matters entering the city two years later. Sure enough, two years later, the British came to fulfill the contract. Although they had not tasted it for details, it was also obvious that the people's nature was very obvious."

"Because of this, I think, since the barbarians are not completely undesirable, can't we contact the barbarians more with this opportunity? Even if the person has many things, he just refers to the military preparation. Isn't it a hundred times stronger than my Qing army's bravery?"

The emperor's words made everyone a little stunned: Why did it actually involve this matter? The emperor was talking, but the people around him could not stop him, so he had to continue listening: "I was still old and didn't know much about what happened back then. It was just that Huangkao always thought that although the Qing soldiers fought bravely, they could not resist the firepower of the barbarians. He was forced to change the agreement in Jiangning, resulting in mental strain and burning inside. Since the 22nd year of Daoguang, the old man, the saint, was disharmonious and finally abandoned the world. It was not because of this worry and overwork, right?"

"I know that there are two things that Huang Kao is thinking about here: one is that there are people in the Qing Dynasty; the other is that the matter of Jiangning's exchange of contracts has always been lingering in his mind and cannot be relieved for a long time."

"The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers. The old minister was a member of the ministry, and the emperor could not let the emperor and his father share the worries and labor, and the subordinates could not be at peace with all the people. I think he was really ashamed." With Zhuo Bingtian's words, a large area of ​​kneeling down in the court. The emperor waved his hand warmly: "Get up."

"yes."

"So, if this time the British envoy enters Beijing, I think that if it is feasible, I will have to do another meeting with the British people on our Qing military defense and other matters on the fourth day of the 27th year of Daoguang, after meeting with Norway and Sweden on the Five Ports Trade Constitution, I will have another meeting with the British!"

Zhuo Bingtian vaguely felt that the emperor's proposal was plausible and was about to argue for a few words, but the young man sitting on it continued, "As for the rituals Chen Huai said, Sun Ruizhen?"

"I'm here!"

"You go to Jiangning once and meet the British envoy, and explain my meaning clearly to him. Tell them that if you think of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, the first step is to perform a kneeling ceremony. For other details, you might as well give it to me."

"Yes! I understand."

"Also, Chen Huai, Zeng Guofan?"

"I'm here!"

"You two are deputy envoys, go with you." Speaking of this, the emperor stood up under the help of the eunuch Xu, stepped outward, and lined up with Zhuo Bingtian to see him off. "Oh," he walked to the door of the office and turned around and said, "Please go to the fourth day of the day, you three are handing in the signs, and I have a few more explanations."

"twitter!"

When he returned home, it was already early September. Zhuo Bingtian felt hot all over and was about to ask the person to take herbal tea for use, but the person from the door came to report: "Return to Master, Master Yuan Wuqiao, Master Yuan handed in."

Wuqiao is the name of Yuan Jiasan. He was a Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Daoguang. This list has a lot of talents and early names in the subjects. People in the capital, such as him, Xu Naizhao, Gui Qing, Peng Yunzhang, and Zhang Fu. People in other provinces who have become governors and governors, such as Luo Dunyan, Huang Zonghan, Zheng Dunjin, and Lu Xianji, are all in the same year in this subject. Yuan Jiasan is a student of Zhuo Bingtian, and is a strong and clean stream. He is the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The scholar-in-chief is an existence similar to the censor. It is collectively called the Censor and the Censor. It is also a censor. It has the responsibility of going to the palace to make a case for criticism. It is responsible for copying the papers, reviewing memorials, supervising the six ministries, temples, governments, and public affairs. Another special thing is its right to refute.

This is a very special position: a minister can have the right to be in the emperor's edict or "unconstitutional" or "unconducted" or "unconducted" to be conferred by the original edict, so it is called a refutation. Of course, this is just a piece of work that is made to show the appearance of the people of the world. No one can do it, and he dare not take it seriously.

However, this time, Yuan Jiasan really had the idea of ​​"refuting": although the emperor was the emperor, he was always a young man, and his words and deeds were inappropriate, and he was about to fulfill his responsibilities as a minister. However, he was always smart, and his affairs were not as idle as the emperor. Now he took the broken book with the broken book that had not yet dried up. After seeing the teacher saluted, he took out the broken book.

Zhuo Bingtian took the book and read it: "Recommendation of the emperor to study hard, be careful of his words and actions, and denounce the barbarians' three matters."

The wording in the text is quite intense. As soon as I started, I said: "...It has been nearly a year since the Emperor Fu Si took power! The key tasks that must be urgently pursued are still not just about studying, diligent and diligent, and dare to respect our emperor: A few years ago, the emperor reads books in the Hongde Hall, and is dedicated to his mind, and recites classics and historical records very well. Reads and reviews, study them diligently, and discusses poetry and regular scripts, and also improves day by day. The time is interrupted, and the study room only takes several times a month, and it is always rushed, making it even more difficult to benefit. Isn't it almost the name of reading, but not the reality of reading?"

When Zhuo Bingtian saw this, he took off his reading glasses and pulled out a wry smile on the corner of his lips: "Wuqiao?"

"Students are here."

"You can see it with your own eyes in the study every month?"

"When the teacher said, the students have never seen each other with their own eyes. It's just that the students have the right to report the news. Does the teacher think it's inappropriate?"

Zhuo Bingtian shook his head, but did not speak, put on a flower glass and continued to look down: "...I hope that my emperor will follow the teachings of the ancestors and ancestors. After doing daily work, he will go to the study room to discuss the books he had read and talked about them day by day, and review them day by day to think about their principles; the books he had not read and talked about are calm and meticulous to expand his knowledge. Poetry theory must be proficient, and calligraphy and painting must be neat. Calm the mind and calmness, cultivate the sacred virtue, and over time, you will benefit endlessly!"

"... When the emperor was in charge of his duties, all those who were summoned to him were called to be smart, and asked about the world's wisdom, and admired him deeply, which made him feel refreshed. Recently, the ministers on duty at various departments and courts were not summoned, and people's hearts gradually became slackened again! In the year of Daoguang, the former emperor Xuanzongcheng summoned many times every day. He was indeed a matter of the pros and cons of China and abroad. Without consulting others, he could not find the details. If he saw only one or two people, and each asked about three or two words, how could he know the talent and the gains and losses of political affairs?"

"... The tendency of the ministers is to see the court as a transfer. If the emperor does things early, no minister dares to be too early; if the emperor does things in detail, no minister dares to be too late! If this is not the case, he will be indifferent and obscene, and there will be invincible consequences. I hope that our emperor will follow the customs of the law and ancestors, distinguish the color and look at the court, listen to the words humbly, and seek truth from facts. When reading the memorials, he must seek to understand the reason, and the matter will be well-organized. He also diligently seeks the rule of law and keeps the useless viewing; he should pay attention to the difficulties of the times and save the nameless work."

Without looking at the contents of the latter, Zhuo Bingtian also knew the approximate content. He closed the fold and put it aside. He ordered Yuan Jiasan to exchange for tea and then brought himself a hookah. Gululu sucked a bag. Fang Shi opened his eyes and said, "You can also get it." He nodded slowly, with a familiar expression: "In your position, it's just right, it's like us, it's hard to speak."

Yuan Jiasan understood that it was not because he was the one who gave him the identity, but because he was afraid that he would not be able to speak in the future if he didn't hear him. Listening to the teacher's words, not only could he be given a memorandum, but it seemed that it would be very effective after he was given, so he could not help but feel satisfied.

That being said, just the text here is not too straightforward?

Zhuo Bingtian smiled calmly: "I just said that your status and division are sometimes inappropriate, and you can use your position as a censor and make a presentation when you give advice. If you don't think the emperor will not be blamed."

"Yes!" Yuan Jiasan was inspired by the teacher and his courage increased greatly. He came home from Zhuo Mansion and reviewed it carefully. He confirmed that there was no violation, so he handed over the note.
