Chapter 97 Years ago

When Sushun is in Tianjin, there are naturally countless channels for knowing what happened in Beijing. He asked this on purpose just for the subsequent words, "Master, are you worried about Lord Xu's words?"

The emperor held his cheek with his hands and sank for a while.

Yi fulfilled his promise and advocated the abolition of the Governor of Jianghuai, but supported the suggestion from Xu Naizhao's sponsorship and the Governor Wen came forward, and another commander was appointed to deter the thieves. The imperial edict said: "According to the various ancestral posts, the reorganization of the governor has been changed. Most of the people intend to reorganize the governor. After checking the reports of the officials, it is also appropriate to set up provinces. The superiors are better to reorganize the governor. The supervisor of the office was appointed as the two rivers, and it is indeed clear that it is planned to be changed to the general of Huaiyang Town to the Jianghuai Admiral, and the civil and military use are used together to control the various battalions of Xuzhou Town and Jiangbei Defense Training."

Since the establishment of the Jianghuai Admiral is focused on deterring robbers, the rule of law will be strengthened. Therefore, it is also stipulated that "with the Huaiyanghai Road and the rank of the Censorate, any serious case of robbers in Jiangbei should be rectified immediately. People below the army will be investigated and investigated, so that there is no need to explain the Su to avoid delay. Like this, both civil and military officials and military officials in Jiangbei have a program, and there is no need to establish a new position. The old officials and soldiers of the grain quota were used as the quota to increase the quota and use heavy forces. However, Huai and Xu were all subordinates, and now the governor was abolished and renamed the admiral. The office should immediately order the supervisor to reorganize the camp and train carefully to focus on the local area. The remaining matters not completed should be carefully discussed by the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Jiangsu, and they should be carefully discussed and handled separately."

This imperial edict is not very clever, vague, and unclear. In addition, the emperor was in a bad mood on this day, so he was very ill. If the words were inappropriate, he would naturally correct it immediately. If there were any differences in the method, it would be very difficult to talk.

"What is it called 'using both civil and military affairs'?"

In order to use the four words "civil and military use", there was a dispute in the Military Affairs Office. The full name of the admiral was "Admiral General Military Affairs Officer", respectfully known as "Military Person". It is organized by the Green Camp and is the highest military officer in the province. The rank is the same as that of the governor and the generals who are stationed in the first rank, but their status and duties are not only not as good as the governor and general, but even the governor who is from the second rank. Because the governor and the governor, as usual, lead the Minister of War and the rank of the Ministry of War, and in charge of military affairs, he can control military generals. When the admiral meets the governor who is two levels lower than him, he must also be "in charge", not even the governor.

As usual, the governor and the governor took the right censor and the right deputy censor, and his identity was equal to the official of the Censorate. If the admiral does not obey the command and does not follow the arrangement of affairs, he can name and impeach. If the civil servants under the border are not allowed, if there are any military generals, even if they are the admirals and generals with red heads, they will be correct.

Just like Liu Mingchuan, Zhu Hongzhang and others, they all started from the Green Camp, but after the Sino-Russian war, the generals were disarmed one after another. Both of them had their heads sharply and wanted to abandon martial arts and follow the literature. Now one is the governor of Guangxi, and the other is the Zuo Silang of the Ministry of War - because they felt that the military officials were too aggrieved.

Now it is said that the admiral can be used both civil and military. In Xu Naizhao's opinion, it means that there is no distinction between civil and military affairs and equal status, which is a humiliation of civil officials. Just like Zhang Zhidong, who was responsible for military affairs, used Hanlin to take a lion to supplement it, it was inappropriate and depreciated himself, so he objected.

The idea of ​​"using both civil and military" was thought out by Guanwen. Its function is: First, the literati who is aware of military personnel can also be released from Zhang Yijun; secondly, improving the status of a military official is equivalent to improving his status as a governor who has no fame and reputation, and it depends entirely on the status of a governor who was born in Yu Yin. With these two important relationships, Yi insisted on the original proposal. Although Xu Naizhao appreciated him, he was the foreman of the military aircraft and had to give in.

At this time, the emperor also asked this question. Xu Naizhao secretly praised him and listened to Yi's reply: "It is both civil and military, and it is not limited to qualifications, and it is more flexible in scheduling, so it is easy to reward talents."

The four words "not counting on qualifications" are bad. "How can one not be qualified if he serves as an official? "The emperor asked: "The civil and military have different paths, and each has its own strengths, and it will be difficult to rectify the administration in the future."

"Reply to the Emperor's words," Yi's words were also very unfair, and he said calmly: "The different paths of civil and military affairs are because most of the military generals in the past were from ranks and were ignorant of the people, so they cannot be mixed. Since the new army of the Green Camp, the generals and officers were from Tianjin. Now the emperor is willing to send them to study abroad, which is no better than the military officers in the past. Now, in order to encourage talents to join the army, it seems that they should be more suitable. Furthermore, although the commander of military officers in various provinces is a military general, they are often appointed as Taoist officers, but they are not as good as civil and military officers. It is more practical to measure talents."

These words were not easy to refute. The emperor accused him of not talking further, but he also picked another disease, "Which is the jurisdiction of the Jianghuai Admiral?" he asked.

"From Xuzhou in the west and to the sea in the east, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Jianghuai Admiral."

"Haizhou is not included?"

“Included.”

"Haizhou is a Zhili Prefecture. Since it is included, it should not be called the Jianghuai Admiral." The emperor asked, "Isn't this also true or false?"

Yi was speechless, so he had to meet. So Xu Naizhao said to the top: "The Jianghuai Admiral is not worthy of his name, and it seems that he can be changed to the Jiangbei Admiral."

"By the way" the emperor was in a praising tone: "This name is awakened."

This level finally passed. Immediately after the Jianghuai Governor's edict was lifted and renamed the Jiangbei Admiral, the General Office of Huaiyang Town was appointed as the General Office of the Jiangbei Admiral. A few days later, Yi asked Jian to send the Military and Political Department of the Military Training Department, Zhang Zhidong, the alternate roadmaster, to serve as the Admiral of Jiangbei, and to be awarded the title of Silang of the Ministry of War. All local towns and roadmasters in Jiangbei were under control. The general of the military and cultural and supervisors were no different from the other. This person was specially protected by Xu Naizhao, so he was naturally considered to be a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang divisions. Xu Naizhao's power had clearly extended into the boundaries of the Liangjiang River.

Su Shun wanted to put some effort into this matter. "Your Majesty, I dare not say that Lord Xu is not good at doing this, but I heard from outside the Beijing that in the military department, the Sixth Master did not mention it, and Bo Gong was lingering in sick bed and had not entered the court for a long time; Di Weng was so dirty about the old things of the previous year, and he always pretended to be deaf and dumb in political affairs; Xu Naizhao was the only one who stands out."

"What?" the emperor didn't take it very seriously, and asked indifferently.

"Ruilin is used in Beijing, originally there are those in Beijing. The emperor promoted Han people and abandoned the bannermen again. However, due to the country's military use, he dared not speak. This time, the court set up a governor of the Jianghuai River, and I don't know how many people were watching - who knew they were using Han people again? This..." He looked at the emperor's increasingly solemn expression and laughed, "Master, you promoted the slave. I dare not hide anything from your master. The emperor must prepare for the future."

"Prepare for the future?" the emperor smiled, "From what you mean, it seems that I offended the bannermen after using a Zhang Zhidong?"

"Of course not." Su Shun shook his head immediately, "but the emperor, Yu Junji's words are obedient. Although it is true that the king and his ministers are in a group, they must also be wary of the public."

"oh?"

"I have been in Tianjin for several months. I don't need to discuss it for the time being. But I still remember when I was in Beijing, I served the emperor for a long time. I know that the emperor is kind-hearted and kind. I can really be called a person in the Military Affairs Office. When I call him a friend, as long as I ask... I will never be afraid of him. If this continues, it will be easy to develop the arrogant heart of these people."

This sentence really goes to the emperor's heart. Of course, the fact that the monarch and ministers can get the military affairs office and report it to the imperial court. The monarch and ministers have always been a major event that is very relevant to the national economy and people's livelihood. Because of this, the emperor rarely uses force to suppress others based on his own reasons. Most of the time, the monarch and ministers have carefully discussed it and then issued an order to implement it.

He did not think that Su Shun's words were attacking Xu Naizhao, but he only regarded this slave as worried about himself because he was not in the capital, but he was very concerned about his friendship. "I know that Zhang Zhidong is still very knowledgeable. Although he has a little temper on weekdays and is somewhat similar to Zuo Zongtang in Liaoning, he finally found great use. When a bannerman can be used, I will naturally be willing to use it."

"Yes." Su Shun thought clearly and knew that he could not continue talking. He immediately met respectfully and knelt out.

It is really a matter of what should be done. The imperial court's Mingfa imperial edict was copied and it was reported that Zhang Zhidong released the Governor of Jianghuai due to the sponsorship of Li Hongzao and Xu Naizhao. When Hanlin was a cabinet bachelor, he either used it as a silang or released it as a governor. He was transferred according to the capital. It was not surprising that Zhang Zhidong had been promoted to a cabinet bachelor's degree in less than half a year and had such an appointment, which must be said to be an anomaly.

Therefore, there were many people who gave him congratulations. Zhang Zhidong was so excited that he personally wrote a thank-you note and was so proud that he had a sentence in the note that "Dare to forget the eight signs of business" caused great trouble to himself.

The "Eight Forms" is the extreme of the eight directions, and can also be regarded as the nickname of "Tianxia". The "Eight Forms Management" can be interpreted as the founding of the British main force to conquer the world. Zhang Zhidong made a mistake in writing and used this idiom. For example, during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, he would lose his official position even if he didn't lose his head. However, after Jiaqing, the literary inquisition had been unrest for a long time, and his tone was always broad, so the governor of the Jianghuai River wanted to manage the Eight Forms, but it was just a joke.

But the emperor was very angry about this. As the corpsal period approached, the official duties of the Military Affairs Office gradually stopped for a year. When he shouted, the emperor actually sent Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Zhiwan to the Hall of Yangxin. "A small cabinet scholar, who is very kind to the king and father, is very kind to the governor, but he is not willing to serve him wholeheartedly. Look, what is this thing you wrote in the thank-you note? Eight signs of management? Is it worthy of you? "

Zhang Zhidong was so scared that he met repeatedly, "I am so proud that the villain is so arrogant that he is not good at writing for a while. Please forgive me for your crime."

"You are the three-legged armor I personally chose, the backbone of the Qing River, the pillar of the court, and the face of my Qing Dynasty. Don't learn from those shallow people who have not yet learned, just like an old fox who has been practicing for a thousand years. Seeing that he could turn into a human form, he was in a moment of incompetence and showed a big furry tail - whether to give him a joke?"

Hearing that the emperor used such a vulgar but extremely appropriate metaphor, everyone in the Military Affairs Office wanted to laugh, but the king could not lose his manners, so he had to endure it.

Zhang Zhidong naturally met again.

The emperor turned his face and looked at Zhang Zhiwan again, "And you, Zhang Zhiwan."

Zhang Zhiwan didn't know what he had to do, so he couldn't ask, so he had to blink his eyes and silence, "I heard that one day you brought two watches. Someone said that as long as the watch is accurate, one is enough. You answered people like this: 'It's not surprising that I brought two watches. Is there so many 'eight watches'?'

“This, some.”

"Bah" the emperor spat at him, "Your brother is not virtuous and unyielding in the use of allusions, I can always see how proud he is and how much forgiven him; but where are you, the saints taught you the art of loyalty, filial piety and kindness? The emperor does not know how to report this matter to the king and father; the subordinates do not know how to make up for the brothers, but instead watch his jokes. Is this the gentlemanly demeanor you have developed for years of study? Scum?"

Only then did Zhang Zhiwan know what was going on. He was so irrefutable that he scolded the emperor so much that every word he scolded him. He felt even more ashamed, so he had to imitate his younger brother and meet his head in the ground.

"I'm too lazy to see you when I go out."

After sending out the Zhang brothers, the emperor looked at Yi and the others with a grudge, "And you, Xu Naizhao, look, who is the one you recommended to me?"

"Yes. Zhang Zhidong is the life of the minister. I have the crime of restraint and neglecting teaching. Today, I have caused such a great mistake that is a degrading person. I ask for punishment."

"It's not necessary to punish me." The emperor said, "Qingliu's tone is getting bigger and bigger. Some of the new grass-forks are now in peace, just like Liu Buchan, Deng Shichang, etc.; and what about those who have been officials for decades? They are so fluent and impetuous, which is ridiculous."

Zeng Guofan has always regarded himself as a leader of the Qingliu. When he heard the emperor speak like this, he felt that he had to speak out. "I think that although Zhang Zhidong was a chaotic person for a while, his intention to serve the country was vividly revealed on paper, and there was no point in being undesirable."

The emperor smiled unquestionably, "I hope he thinks this way--." He paused and said again, "King,"

"My brother is here."

"The Japanese already know that Mr. Gan is my news?"

"Yes." Yi nodded helplessly, "It was all my brother who was not careful for a while, and failed to inform his subordinates in the General Administration, causing the news to be revealed. My brother..."

"Forget it, such a thing cannot be covered up, and it doesn't matter if they know it - it's just a ridiculous act of my youth."

Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. He was already a man who was over forty years old. Why did he mention the absurdity of youth? Moreover, it would be fine if it was absurd, but in such an extremely formal occasion, he compared Taiwan to a wild land that the Celestial Empire could not reach. By next year, he still didn't know how much to spend to explain it to other countries. When he thought of this, Yi felt that his head began to hurt again.
