Chapter 76: The temple is completely counted

Looking at the memorials submitted by Sun Ruizhen, Chen Huai, Zeng Guofan, and Lu Jianying, the emperor laughed softly. I don’t know who wrote this memorial in large writing, but it was so full of sound and emotion that made people feel at the scene.

After reading the memorial and putting it aside, the emperor looked at the military ministers who knelt in two rows under the desk: "The British had difficulty in the matter of going to Beijing to celebrate the ceremony. I requested a grace period and reported it to the court for approval in that country. But this was a lot of effort. Sun Ruizhen and the others were afraid of the delay, so they submitted this memorial. You can discuss it and see how it should be resolved?"

Since the last time he said something wrong in front of the king, Sai Shanga was very dissatisfied with his colleagues, and even made a group of scholars ridicule him, saying that his preface was correct, he was completely unaware of the advancement and retreat, and he did not know where the military affairs were. In addition to assisting the emperor in handling the government affairs, he also had the intention to correct the emperor’s faults. The emperor’s orders and the issuance of the state’s orders all depend on the maintenance of the military affairs department and a group of people in the Military Affairs Department. He only knew that he would kowtow to accept his orders in front of the emperor, so why should he set up an agency like the Military Affairs Department and the cabinet?

For a time, he had a voice for denunciation about his character and ability, and even the censors who were self-reliant and thought that the world was asking for his own orders would all want to take this opportunity to impeach him severely. However, this matter was discussed by the emperor, and Jian sent the imperial envoy to Jiangning. It was difficult not to involve the emperor wherever he swept his pen. However, such articles were really unsuccessful, so he had to spare Sai Shang'a's festival.

Sai Shang'er knew his family's affairs and did not dare to show off his own abilities as the chief assistant. With the idea of ​​saying that he was a little wrong, he looked back at Qi Junzao who was kneeling behind him: "Your Majesty, Duke Pu knows a lot about the government, so let him express his views?"

"Okay, Qi Junzao? What do you think about this?"

"Yes!" Qi Junzao was also happy with the preface of your comments, and knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "Reply to the emperor's words. Britain and China are far apart. Even if the British and the country agree to what Wenhan said, this matter will probably be delayed for a long time. Therefore, Lord Sun might as well return to Beijing as soon as possible, and wait for the British to have a definite reply before saying anything else."

"What if there is a reply? Will you send someone to Jiangning or Guangzhou to contact the British? Isn't this overworking?"

"Old minister thinks..." Qi Junzao coughed a few times, crawling under the imperial steps of the Yangxin Palace, while forcing himself to endure it, while lying on the ground to apologize: "Old minister... cough cough! Please forgive me for the crime of losing my manners!"

"Get up, get up." Seeing that he was so tired that he was coughing, the emperor was a little anxious. However, when he saw the military plane, there were no palace maids or eunuchs as usual, so he had to wave his hand and signal Zhou Zupei and Ji Zhichang to help the old man up: "Is that important?"

"Old minister..." Qi Junzao got up with the help of his two colleagues with great difficulty, and gasped violently: "The old minister has lost his etiquette before, please punish him."

"What do you say this?" The emperor looked around and wanted to give him the ginseng soup on his table. However, the ginseng soup was not hindered, and the ginseng soup had to be used in bright yellow. Even if he gave it to him, he would not dare to accept it. He looked at him with great concern and said, "Zhou Zupei, Ji Zhichang?"

"I'm here!"

"Kun Fupu goes down to rest. See if it's important. If it's important, go back to the house first. It's not too late to come in before you get it."

"I dare not!" Qi Junzao also insisted, saying, "The old minister is still stubborn and healthy in bold style. He dare not work as a colleague at the time of duty, and he dare not ask the emperor to worry about it."

"With the heart of respecting the king and the father, it is not at this moment. Zhou Zupei and Ji Zhichang?"

"Yes!" The two of them agreed and helped Qi Junzao out of the Palace of Yangxin.

He was only halfway through his words, and the emperor could not continue to deal with the matter. Otherwise, he would deliberately use his physical discomfort to get rid of Qi Junzao's suspicion of deciding the government. The remaining ones in the Yangxin Palace were He Rulin and Sai Shanga. The two looked at each other, not knowing how to break the tranquility.

At this moment, Zhou Zupei's singing title came from outside the hall: "My minister, Zhou Zupei, Ji Zhichang, come in!"

"Come in."

"Yes!" Zhou Zupei picked up the door curtain and two men entered in a row: "Is he important? Should he go home and hire a doctor?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, Qi Junzao was deeply grateful for the great grace of the holy people. He has been an official for decades. It is the first time that the emperor has lost his etiquette before him. Instead of punishing him, he comforted him gently, which made the old minister very moved. He especially asked me to thank you for your kindness first. When he recovered from illness, he would immediately enter the palace to apologize in front of the emperor. Thank you for your kindness."

The emperor nodded with a smile: "Don't talk about this first. Qi Junzao is an old man who has served the imperial examination. He can be said to be a talented man in the country. If he occasionally gets sick from me, what's the fault? When you go back later, tell him what I said."

"yes!"

"I haven't finished saying the words just now, let's talk about them when he comes. Fortunately, Sun Ruizhen and the others don't have to hurry back in Jiangning." The emperor paused for a moment and turned out from behind the imperial throne: "Today, there is one more thing. Zheng Zuchen has submitted a memorial to ask the court to allow him to retire and return home. Do you know?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then, should the court keep it? After all, he is a good person in Shangguan. As a governor, he has also made great contributions to the suppression of bandits in Guizhou this time."

"Yes, Master Zheng Zuchen and Zheng's Chronicle have already seen it." Sai Shanga didn't dare to say much. Qi Junzao left again because of illness. It was Ji Zhichang's turn to discuss qualifications. After looking around, Ji Zhichang went out: "Meng Bai worked hard for a long time in Guangxi, and he was also 70 years old. The last time he wrote a memorial statement about this matter, the court kept it as usual. This time, he showed that his desire to lie down was settled. Please ask the emperor to approve his intention to ask for his request?"

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "Then, where is the candidate for success?"

"I think that the governor of Guangxi is in a place where Han, Miao, and Yi live together. In addition to their abilities, the most important thing is to be deeply supported by colleagues, so that they can fully grasp the government affairs of a province as they use their arms to help them. Another section is that the emperor always cares about suppressing rebellions and bandit suppression. Although Hong Xiuquan and other members of the rebel bandit leaders were executed, a large number of congregations still fled. The governor of Guizhou Province should have a plan to release and allow people with the ability to be imprisoned and take office to protect the safety of Guizhou Province and neighboring provinces. Otherwise, once the bandits escape, they will not harm the local area. When they go to the nearby places, they will be in ease."

"Well, what you are talking about." The emperor walked around the room for a few steps and suddenly stopped: "Take Chang Dachun to Guangxi."

Several people from the Military Affairs Office were stunned at the same time. Chang Dachun is the current governor of Zhejiang and has always been famous for his good at catching thieves. When he was in Fujian, he served as the Censor (the General Secretary, equivalent to the current provincial public security director). He was very good at catching thieves. He was only promoted to governor of Zhejiang in the 30th year of Daoguang. It is less than four months since he was still hot. He was about to move to the land as a good place?

Moreover, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Guangxi are both governors in terms of names, but one is extremely rich and the other is in trouble for a long time. Whether in terms of population or taxes, Guangxi can only be regarded as a poor and weak province. When transferred from Zhejiang to Guangxi, it looks the same on the surface, but in fact, it can also be regarded as a symbol of being demoted - at least, it is obvious that the saint's family has declined.

However, as a minister, you must not think that it is back because of the distance or the rich and poor in the place where you are. A group of people from the Military Affairs Office were willing to say a few words for Chang Dachun, but they could not find a suitable excuse. Ji Zhichang had to nod: "Yes! I understand. After I go down, I will send it to Zhejiang. However, Chang Dachun was ordered to report to his consent, who will give him his shortcomings?"

"This matter is, let me think about it. Don't send it to Ting for the time being. After you have thought about it, Ting will send it to the province together with this matter."

"twitter!"

The emperor had no disgust towards Chang Dachun. On the contrary, this scholar who died at home in real history due to the Hong Yang Rebellion was a member of the court he valued very much. Of course, this favorable feeling did not come from his revenge for the court he was loyal to, but he knew that Chang Dachun could give up his dignity as a scholar and truly consider the interests of the people and the country. Compared to being a brigade, he only knew that those foolish people who were talking about the debate between China and the barbarians and never opened their eyes to see the world, such as Xu Guangjin, were many times more skillful! It was precisely because of this that he wanted to transfer Chang Dachun to Guangxi to prepare for the next step.

As for Chang Dachun’s lack, it’s very simple…

After seeing a few people from the Military Affairs Office, the emperor entered the West Warehouse. In October, the weather in Beijing became colder and colder. A large charcoal brazier was born in the warmhouse. It was already cold outside, but the warmhouse was in March. The only thing that made people feel a little uncomfortable was the slight smell of carbon.

"Who should be below?"

"Reply to the emperor, the Zongren Mansion is in charge, Prince Ding; the chief master of the study room, Lord Zhuo Bingtian and Zhuo, and the Minister of Personnel, Jia Zhen, came in with the sign."

"Let King Ding wait for a moment and ask Master Zhuo and Jia Zhen to come in."

"yes!"

Zhuo Bingtian and Jia Zhen entered the warm pavilion, took off the warm hat from their heads, and kowtowed on the ground: "I, please respectfully ask the Holy One!"

"Get up." The emperor smiled freely, but did not cross his legs as if he was summoned to the royal family. Instead, he maintained a very regular sitting posture: "This time I asked you two to come here, I want to ask about the studies of several emperor brothers."

"Yes! When I replied to the emperor, the Sixth Master, the Seventh Master, and the Ninth Master have made great progress in their studies in Shangshang. The achievements of poetry and essays and Chinese (referring to Manchu) are all easy to speak, and the achievements of literary works have always been praised by all Shangshangshang masters."

"At last, they were willing to make progress and did not let down the teachings of several masters." The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Master Zhuo?"

"I'm here."

"I remember you were promoted to the co-organizer of the Grand Secretary in the 20th year of the First Emperor? Isn't it?"

"Reply to the emperor, the old minister was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretary of the Tairen Pavilion in the 24th year of Daoguang. He was promoted to Grand Secretary of the Tiren Pavilion in the 24th year of Daoguang."

"It's been seven years since I said it." The young man on the throne smiled: "It's time to change the place. Hum?"

Zhuo Bingtian was stunned for a moment. 'Change a place' is undoubtedly synonymous with the promotion to the palace as a Grand Secretary. The Grand Secretary of the cabinet is four ends and two associations. The Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace is now held by Qi Junzao, and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace is held by Mu Zhangao. This time, Mu Zhangao was removed from office, and his title of Grand Secretary was also stripped of his title, but the emperor never wanted to find a successor to his descendants. In this way, after thinking about it for a moment, Zhuo Bingtian hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "I thank the emperor for picking up the grace. But I am very talented and have little virtue, so I dare not receive the order."

The emperor smiled and said, "You can afford it!" He said, "I don't mention anything else, I just have been the chief master in Shangshang and the past few years as the master of Lao Liu. Your work and I have been seeing it. The ancients once said that famous teachers produce high disciples, and the students are also very good, which naturally means that the teacher's abilities are extraordinary."

Zhuo Bingtian and Jia Zhen's hearts moved: What does the emperor mean when he speaks like this? Are he going to start using his brothers and sisters? If he says this, it would be a great blessing.
