A memorial for #Zang Chengxiu caused such a big storm in the court. Although the emperor intended to use this matter to cause trouble, the status of the censor became increasingly unattainable from then on. The rabbit died and the fox was sad. Seeing Xu Naizhao throwing his official position out of the capital, those big bosses who were not comfortable in the Qing Dynasty were inevitably in danger.

Among them is Luo Bingzhang, who is also the Minister of Military Affairs, knows that the emperor will not give up. Instead of waiting for him to find a mistake, like Xu Naizhao, he will lose his post and get out of Beijing in shame. It is better to take the initiative and resign by himself.[]

On the memorial seal, the emperor kept a few words as usual. Luo Bingzhang submitted three memorials one after another, saying that he was old and could not praise the opening of the wheel. He divided his work for the king and father. He had been in court for many years and had a free place to eat. He woke up late at night. How could he be worthy of it? Instead, it would be better to retreat to the forest and leave a step for new talents to advance. Return to his hometown, burn incense and pray day and night, hoping that the emperor would be blessed and healthy.

The emperor saw that it was almost done and allowed him to follow Xu Naizhao's previous example, and to rest in the original order, and return to his hometown to spend his old age.

Three people went to the Military Affairs Office at once. Wen Xiang was sick in bed for a long time. When he heard Yi’s reply from the mansion visit, Wen Xiang couldn’t afford it. He just waited for the emperor to reward the Dhara Sutra, which seemed empty, but the emperor had no intention of adding one member at all. When Zeng Guofan and his men talked about food and discussion, what was probably the Sacred Heart was still wondering?

Seeing that it was the end of February, when he shouted, the emperor asked, "Now Xu Naizhao and Luo Bingzhang retired for some reason, and the burden on you several people is getting heavier and heavier. I think that Zeng Guofan is the most respected in the Military Affairs Office, and he has taken care of the most responsibilities, which is contrary to my wishes to cherish the old ministers. Let's hand over the responsibilities of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works to their young people."

Speaking of this, he smiled in disguise, "It's said that it's a young man, Zhao Guang and Yan Jingming are almost fifty years old. But I think that compared to Zeng Guofan, he is still more energetic, right?"

"Yes!" Zhao Guang said quickly, "I am over fifty years old, but I think I am strong and my body can still be used for the emperor to walk for several years."

"Well, then that's it. You and Yan Jingming are also caring for seniors." He changed his topic and talked about the most troublesome thing about the Qingming Festival in the past month. "However, you do it and manage it, but you must do it well and strictly manage it. Don't let go of the mischief of the Ministry of Revenue again, otherwise I won't forgive you."

"Yes, I dare to be honest and be careful about cooking?"

"There is another thing, my family affairs." He changed into a smile that seemed to be a long time ago in Yi and others. "The eldest princess has added a grandson to me. She brought me into the palace a few days ago and I have not seen it carefully. In a few days, I got it in early March. I should visit Zeng's mansion in person, so I can get together with the children and have fun together."

Zeng Guofan didn't care about the chill in his heart caused by the emperor's choreography, and hurriedly said, "Old ministers don't dare!" He said, "If the emperor misses his children, he will order his dogs to bring his sons into the palace, why should the emperor move his jade under his command and take care of him?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm tired of living in this city. I want to go out of the palace and go for a walk. If I walk far away and can't resist your nagging, I'd better go to Zeng Guofan's mansion to be a guest for a day; this matter will be settled."

"Then..." Zeng Guofan nodded helplessly, "Please wait for a few days, and the old minister Rong calmly arranged the situation to welcome the emperor."

"You need to arrange it again? You have to hurry up. If it takes too long and the days start to get hot, I won't go!"

Zeng Guofan also smiled, "I understand. After I return to my house, I will prepare immediately and ask the emperor to come to my house."

"Oh, a few days ago, the queen told me that she was asking for a gift for my first grandson Guangping, and she refuted it to me." He said, "I like children the most in my life. As long as I can satisfy them, I will try to satisfy them as much as possible. But it is related to the famous artifacts of the country. You should not give it lightly! Think about it, a baby who is under the term will receive a share of the title and salary of the hereditary Yunqi Duwei. When will it be? When will it be? "

"So I think, this matter is customized from here. I will not mention the gifts given by the previous dynasty. After the 21st year of Xianfeng, all the rewards of titles and salaries, as well as even - the younger generations have no worries about not having a future. Those without talent cannot rely on their father and grandfather for their mercy and enjoy the country's money, food and taxes," he said.

"The emperor is wise!" Yan Jingming was the first to meet and applaud, "As the emperor said, talented people do not have to worry about not having a chance to make a comeback; those without talent will definitely not raise these parasites in vain!"

Zeng Guofan and others smiled bitterly. With Yan Jingming's words, the people around him could not express any objections.

Yi didn't care about the deep meaning of the emperor's words and bowed and said, "Emperor, the Japanese Embassy once again wrote the General Office of the General Administration. This time, he submitted a letter from the Japanese Minister of State's Three Realms and Mimi, asking our Qing Dynasty to allow the Beiyang Navy to go to Kobe Port, Japan to do a trip between the two countries. This matter has been reported to the emperor a few days ago..."

"Yeah. I'm about to say it.

I have seen his letter. Let's settle this matter. Zeng Guofan, the Ministry of War, discussed with the naval yamen in ports such as Shandong and Liaoning?"

"All the navy members are willing to show our Qing navy heroic spirit to the Japanese people through this exchange between the two countries. However, in order to send that ship, they are in conflict with each other, and they also ask the emperor to decide."

"The Liaoyuan, which is a class of Yuan, is equipped with the Rega class," he suddenly shook his head again, "Don't let Weiyuan go, instead send the Dingyuan ship to lead the naval ships with the Liaoyuan ship. The rest should be the same." He said, "Send the court to the naval yamen of various provinces to be stricter, so that the supervisors on the ship should be carefully controlled by the sailors, and don't let these Qiuba cause trouble on their land. I will lose face at that time!"

This is actually the emperor's worries. The naval regulations are very strict, and the sailors on the ship do not violate the rules. Last year, the navy aroused dissatisfaction in the North Sea of ​​Guangxi. Most of the green camp soldiers carried on the ship were committed by the crimes. However, the people did not distinguish between each other and kept the accounts on the navy.

Zeng Guofan agreed and asked again, "Emperor, besides the navy, the court should also send people to come together to show his prosperity."

"Then..., okay, you guys discuss who should I send?"

"My brother thinks that when the Navy visits Japan this time, he should lead the Navy Minister."

"Are you talking about the fifth brother?" The emperor felt a little worried about his implication, "Of course there is no problem with him going. Compared to you, he has many years of experience, but he is very important to visit Japan, and I am afraid he can't do it!"

"I think that if you are worried that the prince will have the hope of losing the holy, it is better to send someone to him, so as to take advantage of the slanderous advice."

"This is a good method." The emperor nodded happily, "Let Lao Wu go and let Xu Geng go with him! He is a member of the General Staff Department of the Ministry of War and has read a lot of books. You can help you with it - that's it."

"Zhe." Yi agreed and asked again, "Emperor, when the king sent an envoy to Japan on behalf of the court to meet each other's etiquette, the etiquette and law restricted each other, and I would like to ask the emperor to instruct me!"

"This matter is, when the Japanese come back, they will present the schedule of our Qing Dynasty Navy visit this time." He said, "But one thing is to be done first, and to transfer three real-life letters back to Japan - it would be fine if only the navy visits. Now, a prince of my Qing Dynasty has personally arrived in the small country of Japan, and asked the Japanese to re-draft the invitation letter - especially the one in which there is a message to meet the Japanese Emperor, and we must carefully consider it with them - everyone in the Qing Dynasty is far beyond the Japanese, let alone the prince I granted to!

"The emperor's meaning... Please forgive me for not understanding."

"It's very simple. Lao Wu will never use any words of "watching" when he goes to meet the Japanese emperor! You must discuss this section with the Japanese side seriously. If the Japanese disagree, you don't have to send someone!"

Everyone from the Military Affairs Office retreated, and the emperor summoned several provincial officials who needed to be introduced to the outside world. Unconsciously, time was fast, and it was time to deliver the meal again. He was just waiting to nod when he suddenly remembered something, "I am not very hungry today, so let's retreat first."

"Your Majesty, you have been busy all morning. Why do you say you are not hungry? You should use it a little more."

"I promised Lianpin and Li Guiren to go to their palace today and say what surprises are there!"

Jingyu sighed in his heart. He had been in this palace for many years and knew that he was most greedy for freshness. Since he recruited two girls to sleep in Shufangzhai in the middle of the year and proclaimed lust during the day, he had fallen in love with this romantic taste. He recruited Japanese beauties every day, and he kept singing and singing until the next day's hour had passed, and he had not stopped. If he continued for a long time, his health would not be very good!

Thinking of this, I felt that I could not stop speaking, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard for days, so you should take care of yourself."

The emperor was walking outward and stopped hearing this, "Is this your words, or who taught you?"

Jingyu was startled and quickly took a step back and knelt down, "No one has ever taught a slave to speak, this is what the slave himself says."

"It's fine. Jingyu, you have different feelings from me. You should say less about these words!" After a pause, he said again, "Not only Lianpin and Li Guiren, you will stop interrupting any matters related to these Japanese female protagonists in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the servants remember it."

"You are here today, don't go there with me." After saying this, he walked out of the Palace of Harmony without looking back.

He walked forward with a light chariot, and the eunuch holding a Daluo umbrella behind him was holding various objects, such as horse stools, clothes, kettles, tea sets, etc. He followed him step by step. On the way, he looked at the scenery in the Forbidden City that he had been used to seeing, but his mood was different. In his eyes, such extremely ordinary scenery also looked better than before.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch in front of him sang, and it came from afar. It was already in Shufangzhai. In addition to Renpin and Renpin, there were also Kaori Ito and Kumi Inoue, who were named Yipin and Ipin, who were also named Yipin and Ipin, and Renpin and others were wearing kimonos. However, the material of the clothes was Su embroidery and Ningsashi that were tributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was naturally more than one level higher than the Japanese silk they wore when they first entered the palace. The only different outfit was from Renpin, which was emerald green, with peony embroidered cheongsam, which set off her plump and upright breasts, making her look more beautiful than a flower and gorgeous.

Wearing the bottom of the flower pot under your feet, people must keep a straight chest and abdomen tucked when walking, otherwise it will be difficult to see the ultimate. Although this is the first time a Japanese woman stepped on this thing, she quickly realized the key points. When she walked, the wind swayed like a willow. "Slave, come to see the emperor, and the emperor is lucky."

"I'm here to fulfill my promise," he smiled and looked at Guiren Li and asked her, "What was the surprise you said?"

"Your Majesty please move Yubu and come with the servant, and you will understand it at a glance."

Following Li Guiren and others into Shufangzhai, he immediately smelled a faint spicy smell in his nose, "Hmm? What does this taste?"
