Chapter 112 Court Debate (3)

The emperor had a special experience, which made him not very concerned about the Four Books and Five Classics he read in the study room when he was young, Confucian classics such as Zhu Zi's motto, and even the gains and losses of the previous dynasty. On weekdays, he only relied on playing around and was busy. Now, when he thinks about it, he really regrets that he only regretted that he was too little when he was using it.

He probably knew that both the Ming and Qing dynasties used the system of government troops, border troops, and garrison troops. A large part of the army was composed of sons who inherited their father's business and took them as a profession, which was essentially different from the recruiting system adopted by later generations. If you want to change, the effort it took was actually the most difficult move since you ascended the throne.

What's more, if you don't know much about this, it's unlikely that you can persuade the ministers in a way that argues with the words of chún. Not to mention that the people in the world, it would be impossible to convince Zeng Guofan in the Military Affairs Office, right?

Su Shun sat on the embroidery pier with a smile, looking up at him, and saw his face flashing and dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, "Master?Master?"

He interrupted Sushun's thoughts and turned his eyes, "Come here, it is said that Xu Gengshen and Zhu Hongzhang came to Yangxin Palace to see him."

"If the master has something to do, the slave will take his leave first." Sushun stood up and said.

"No, don't leave for the time being, this matter has something to do with you." He asked Sushun to sit down again and asked as if he was chatting, "Is the errand of the governor of a province well done?"

"Master Cheng asked, but I don't understand many things. Fortunately, the master felt sorry for me and sent some subordinates to me. For more than half a year, I finally got the political and civil servants and could still handle the responsibilities of Zhili Province."

"What's the difficulty? Even if you tell me, you are the one who has gone out around me, and you and I have different relationships with each other, so there is no need to hide anything."

"There are difficulties, but the slave dare not bother with the holy worries about his own affairs. But... the slave still wants to stay in the capital and accompany his master. Compared with this, let alone the governor of a province, even if he has a higher position, he will not be uncommon."

The emperor smiled, "You, what's the point of staying by my side without ambition? If you make your master angry, you will still make you angry. The governor of Zhili has a luxurious life and a powerful man is better than being a slave by my side?"

"A slave is the emperor's slave, and he can only be a slave, and he cannot be the superiors of others." Sushun said pitifully, "Master, how long should you let the slave stay in the direct administration? Or should you give me the order and let the slave come back?"

The emperor ignored his plea, "Zhili is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. I must be the one who can best understand the situation to guard one side so that I can stay safe in the capital. This is exactly what you want to go to Tianjin. You are so confused. Is it really disappointing that I have forgotten what I said to you last time in Tianjin? You are a foolish slave."

"Yes, the slave is confused, the slave is confused." Sushun knelt down and met, "The slave has recorded it. After returning to office, he will definitely handle the errands in the province and guard the barriers for his master."

"Also, many new policies of the court are to be piloted in Zhili Province. I will discuss this matter with a few people from the Ministry of War and Military Affairs Office in a while, and there will be an order for you in the future." He said, "You can implement the new policies well in Zhili Province, which is related to the future implementation of the 21 provinces of the Qing Dynasty. You must engage in it with tens of millions of caution."

"Please rest assured that the servant has the right to be the master. We must handle the errands that the emperor has done properly."

The emperor nodded. He had no doubt about Sushun's loyalty. The only thing he was worried about was that his ability was limited. "Li Ciming is the new Tianjin Prefecture? How many levels have he dropped out of thin air? But what are you dissatisfied with the court?"

"The emperor knows people and is good at appointing people. Li Ciming is a famous scholar, just like back then. However, he finally read a few days ago and had some ink in his stomach. He knew how many levels the emperor demoted him this time, but he appointed him in a major area in the capital. It was really a act of love for the holy heart, so he not only did not have any ruthless words, but he was still happy."

"I know he is young and romantic, but he is still like that now?"

"I have heard of it occasionally, but compared to that of the past, I have been much more restrained." Su Shun said with a smile, "In the eyes of Nu Cai, the place where Jin Feng is far worse than that of Jiangnan. Li Ciming is a very high-profile person, and he is not as eyed by others."

The emperor laughed, "You go back and tell Li Ciming that if you do well in Tianjin, I will naturally choose a good place for him in the future, so as to satisfy him."

"Yes." Su Shun said with a smile, "In fact, I often advised him that in addition to official business, I would like to express my feelings to such places. A candle is lit at both ends. It is unknown. But he... Hey, no matter how I persuade him, I always swear on the surface. After I go down, I will still be the same. He is no longer a guest of the slave. It is hard to say too much."

The emperor was about to say something, Liu Fu came in from outside the Mén, "Long live, Lord Xu, Lord Zhu, two of you, have arrived outside the hall."

"Tell them in - you go to the Military Affairs Office and send them to the whole class."

Xu Geng and Zhu Hongzhang arched into the pavilion, stepped forward a few steps, and knelt down to salute, "My minister Xu Geng (Zhu Hongzhang), respectfully invite the emperor to the sage."

"Get up and talk first." The two of them then got up and smiled at Su Shun Zhan, who was sitting there, and said hello.

The emperor was speechless for a while, and ignored the three people who were sitting and standing, muttering something in their mouths, and didn't know what they were saying. The palace of Yangxin was quiet. After waiting for a while, footsteps outside the hall sounded, and it was the foreman Yi who came to see him.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he started to jingling and said, "Jushun came just now, and told me about the disadvantages that broke out during the new Guangwu army in Jinyang Village today. It seems that there is a trend of reappearing the old view. Sushun, tell me again to the several adults of the Military Affairs Office."

So Sushun repeated it again without any annoyance, and finally said, "I thought to myself that if this momentum continues to develop, the Green Camp soldiers that the emperor has spent countless efforts to build since the fourth year of Xianfeng will become a group of tired people. Not only will they fail to protect the country, but they will become a trampler. I think that it should be purged seriously."

Yi, Zhao Guang, Yan Jingming is fine. The military affairs have nothing to do with the responsibilities they usually take care of. Zeng Guofan, Zhu Hongzhang and Xu Geng felt a little embarrassed. One of these three people was the Grand Secretary in charge of the Ministry of War, and they were also the officials of the court who built the Guangwu New Army into an invincible army. One was the shìlang of the Ministry of War; the other was the chief of the General Staff Office of the Ministry of War; the mistakes appeared in the army, but they knew nothing. They were dereliction of duty in any case and secretly hated Sushun in their hearts. Such things did not say hello to him at all, and they just reported to the front of the imperial army. Wouldn't they deliberately make it ugly for themselves?

Zeng Guofan was the first to kneel down, "I am in charge of the department under the order. Now that Yangcun's army has such a hidden truth, I know nothing and have lost my duties, I ask for punishment."

"I am telling you today that you are not going to hold someone accountable; if you say responsibility, I am the first one." He said, "Since there is a problem, I need to think of a solution - I know what you want to say is nothing more than sending officials from the court to Tianjin, and even to the Qing Dynasty to clean up military discipline. But have you ever thought about how many years of effectiveness can you be able to send one person down? After the Guangwu New Army has only been ten years since the 11th year of Xianfeng military force against Russia, right? It has become like this; can other provinces have ten years of effectiveness? What should I do if something happens? As usual, I will send another group of people down? I will not do the same thing. I will ask you to come here today to find a proper solution."

Yi and his friends complained in their hearts. They were on duty for many years and knew his temper and habits. They saw his eyes shining and his expression was excited, which was exactly the same as before the implementation of a series of new policies such as the railway worker, the new Lijin policy, and the reform of the military system. It can be seen that the holy heart was extremely enthusiastic here. However, time flies, and this emotion has not been seen for a long time. Now that the old face is reappearing, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster for state affairs?

Zeng Guofan had other plans, so he took the lead and bowed and said, "The old minister thought that we should take the Army Academy as the foundation of Master Su and cultivate the elite of our Qing Dynasty. After completing our studies, we will definitely change our past absurdity and return to the majesty of an invincible army."

"Do you think that this time I came to the Military Affairs Office and sent two members of the Ministry of War here to listen to the affairs of the State, and even left Sushun present to discuss state affairs. Do you think that to threaten you and others agree with the army school advocated by Sushun?"

Zeng Guofan was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "Emperor, the old minister dare not."

"You are really an old minister." The emperor's handsome face had no expression on his face, and his eyes were staring at Zeng Guofan. "I think you are so confused that you are actually in front of me, and you have colleagues in the court? Do you think I don't know? I have deposed Xu Naizhao. As the leader of the Qingliu, you are very scared in your heart. Are you? You are willing to defame yourself in the temple, and this is the foundation of your Taoist scholar?"

The heart-killing remarks not only made Zeng Guofan meet like garlic, but Yi and others were shocked that Zeng Guofan was the most beloved minister since the emperor ascended the throne. When he was old, he ended up with such comments. "I thought about your parents and planning for your descendants. Although it was a confusion, it was understandable that I would not care about you. In addition, Zeng Jize even made him work at the General Administration Office. Don't you think about why?"

"The old minister is confused, and the old minister judges a gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart. There is nothing wrong with the crime. The old minister is willing to take the crime and is willing to take the crime."

"Kneel on the side" the emperor waved his hand coldly, "I will talk to you later after a while."
