On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the government offices were opened in the middle of the capital, and the departments began to enter the office. The first thing the Military Affairs Office said when they met was that the Japanese entered Beijing. "》/》/

"Since you're here, let's continue talking." The emperor said, "As I said last time, if you can't get a formal text before February 21st, you will let Yishan and Hu Xiaomao march at the same time in the north and south directions. There is no discount for these people."

Now there are two months left before February 21. If the time when the Japanese were running around the sea is removed, it will be less than fifty days in total. Yi estimated that it should be the same, but some things might as well be said before, "Your Majesty, I am grateful to the emperor, and I should not have had any negligence and slackness. However, I am sick recently, and I am afraid that the entrusted entries of the emperor will be unexpected. I also asked the emperor to select capable personnel to help me with the side to avoid messing up the entries."

"Supervisors? What's wrong? Is it because I'm understaffed now?"

Yi was speechless, but Su Shun immediately followed the topic, "The emperor, slave, think that the prince's meaning is also to hope that someone can participate in the work and do some work and labor. If you don't mention it, you will just negotiate with Japanese envoys in addition to the talks, and someone should be responsible for it."

"Then, can anyone choose you?"

"I think that Erbei Zi Zaiying has studied in the West for many years and is proficient in Spanish. He has a lot of understanding of the styles of Britain and the United States. He can use it in a proper way."

"Sushun, what do you think?"

"The slave also agreed with the prince's words, and Erbeizi is the right candidate."

"Zaiying? He worked hard for the country last year and was very tired..." The emperor pointed his hand, "Where are you? You all talk?"

Li Hongzao was the first to meet, "The emperor, the old minister thinks that the closest relatives are father and son. Erbeizi worked in Japan last year. Although he suffered a lot, he was very energetic. After several months of rest, he thought that he could contribute to the country, and he wanted to share the worries and holidays for the emperor with a passionate heart."

Only Yan Jingming, the few people from the Military Affairs Office, did not speak, and stood there with helpless eyes.

The emperor held his cheek and turned his head to think about it. He did not expect that Zaiying had such a deep connection in the court now. Many people from the Military Affairs Office made consecutive reports to recommend him to work in the Military Affairs Office. What about it in the court? "Okay. Let the second brother and the fifth brother help with the errand work together. No, a small Japanese person can't use so many princes to do the job. He transferred the fifth brother out and let him and his second brother enter the Military Affairs Office and study and walk."

In Yi, Sushun and others were indeed unexpected. He continued to say, "The emperor passed away early. Whether it was the fifth or the sixth, I, the fifth or the sixth, I have no experience in getting a bad job. Now their brothers have grown up, and it is time to take some responsibility. Lao Liu, Sushun, Li Hongzao, you are either skilled in government affairs or knowledgeable. Don't think that they are my sons. They are restricted in words and actions, and there is no pleasing to you, do you know?"

"How dare you not do your best to teach the two princes?"

"Send someone to their mansion to upload the order, and then you all come over, and I have a few words to explain in person."

After waving back a few people from the Military Affairs Office, the emperor turned around and entered the warm pavilion, walked to the east wall and took a string of keys that never left his body from his waist. He opened the yellow rosewood cabinet, took out a box of yellow tweed envelopes and placed it on the imperial desk. It was a nanmu box, one foot long, half a foot wide, and five minutes thick (the actual size is 32xl678 cm). The hinges and keys are made of brass, with exquisite bat flying cloud patterns on it, and there is also a peach-shaped lock cover on the keyhole. Except for the other three sides of the front, there are nine copper buttons and buttons. Then use a key to open the box. The inside is covered with yellow silk, but the inside is empty and there is nothing.

The emperor looked at the empty box for a long time, sighed silently, and then pressed it back, "Jingyu?"

No one in the hall responded, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and raised his voice, "Jingyu?"

"Jingyu is here." This time, Jingyu's voice sounded from outside, "Your Majesty, are you called a slave?"

"Put this away.

"Yes." Jingyu nodded and stepped forward, picked up the box in the yellow wool envelope, put it back into the cabinet, added a lock, turned around and turned around, with a smile on his face.

The emperor didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he heard the quieter environment around him, he knew it, "You, don't think about it."

Jingyu didn't even dare to say anything. When he took out the yellow envelope, she, Liufu, Yang San and others stepped back first. No, this inconspicuous box was too important!

Not long after Si, the Military Affairs Office invited him to see him again. In addition to these people, there were Zai Ying and Zai brothers. They went to the warm room to salute, "Get up." The emperor sat behind the imperial case, put his hands on the armrest board, and said slowly, "I'll call you two brothers today. I think you know the reason?"

"Yes, my son was fortunately appreciated by Emperor Ama and read the sacred edict. He felt inexplicably moved. He should do it carefully and live up to the emperor's trustworthy grace."

"I told your mother and mother back then that when the children grow up, they will always hand over some errands to you. But you must know that the prince will have great power. I am worried that you will rely on your power to do the job and will be out of control. If you do not do it well, you will have to make friends with foreign ministers. If something happens, you will respond to the whole process and get mixed up, and the trouble will be great."

"………………… Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the princes have been granted a title of marquis, but the result has been civil strife. By the time of the Holy Ancestor, the princes opened their teeth and built their houses, and they were tempered into steel one by one, and finally caused trouble to Xiao Wall." The emperor said for a long time, "I say these words to you, hoping that you two brothers must love each other, never cause trouble, don't fight for power and profit, and don't do things that make me feel disheartened. The people all know that brothers are united and the principle of cutting off gold. You two have been studying in the study room for a long time. Do you still don't understand? You must understand my hard work, huh?"

“Yes. My son follows the instructions of Emperor Ama.

The emperor looked at the energetic and heroic faces of the two children, and was silent for a while, "Yi won't mention it, it's your blood uncle. Others such as Su Shun, such as Li Hongzao, Shen Baozhen, Yan Jingming, etc., are my loyal ministers. You should ask more questions and ask more questions when you encounter problems. Don't think it's my son, but you will make a decision without authorization; you need to know the country and the public. If you do bad things and do bad jobs, even my son will have no sympathy."

"My son understand."

"You don't understand," the emperor's voice rose a little. He wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words, but then he thought, in front of the military office, some words were not suitable for utterance, so he had to wave his hand, "Let's do it, you brothers and two of you go out, I have something to say with your sixth uncle."

The two brothers Zaiying were a little confused. Why did the emperor send him out after saying a little while? He didn't dare to resist the order, so he agreed and retreated.

The emperor also stood up and walked through the crowd, "Zaiying is a good material. Zaiying, even I am a mama, I don't know what he is thinking. Sometimes he is a little too dull, huh?"

"The fifth prince is smart and talented. This time I am ordered to do the job, and I have received the help of the fifth prince. Whenever I talk to the Japanese envoy, I will say something occasionally, which will always make the other party speechless and unable to answer."

The emperor nodded frequently, "I know this, I have read the meeting record." He said, "Talent is talent, virtue is virtue, and virtue is virtue. You are their top in public and their uncle in private. Sometimes you have to deal with it seriously where I cannot take care of it. I still say the same thing. Don't take care of the qualities when they say something wrong or do something wrong. Do you understand?"

"I remember that I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustedness and teach the two princes with all my heart."

The emperor listened to his words and observed his expression. He didn't even listen to 10% of his words. He didn't need to mention it. He just looked at the choice of two princes to join the Military Affairs Office. He was obviously preparing for the final choice in the future. In other words, once he died, the new king would not give out these two people. In view of this, who would dare to offend them? He was afraid that it would be too late to coax and hold them! What else would you talk about to give advice and counsel?

"I forgot to say something. When I was enfeoffed in the middle of the year, I went out of the palace. I was idle and went to the Ministry of Justice and Xianliang Hall. I heard Bao Chao and Hu Xiaomao report the military information on the front line. I thought that Bao Chao was a rough man and had never read many books. He was too arrogant. If no one was helping and guiding him, I didn't know when he would cause a big disaster, so I wanted to keep him in the capital. The eldest prince was the foreman of the imperial guards. The Shenji Camp could not be left unattended, so I just let him go."

"……… As for Hu Xiaomao, although he has a big mistake, his flaws do not cover up his merits. In addition, although the war in Japan has been temporarily completed, I don't know what the outcome of this consultation will be. Even if it can be as good as I wish, Japan cannot be responsible. Therefore, I asked him to leave Beijing immediately and return to Japan."

Yi already knew about this, but the inside story was unclear, so he agreed, "Yes."

"Also, Li Hongzhang, although he failed to supervise the situation, he was able to lead the army in Japan for several months and made outstanding achievements. He was appointed as the governor of Zhili. On the day the order was reached, he would take office immediately."

There was no sign of the decree. The emperor issued an order and blocked everything Yi originally wanted to say. He thought helplessly, how should I explain to Peiheng now?

When Di Zhuan met Duke, Li Hongzhang was overjoyed. The governor of Zhili was the leader of the border minister and was responsible for protecting the capital. He was not a serious official close to the emperor. Few Han people could achieve such a position. The current governor was rich and honest, but he was in poor health and often got sick. He submitted a few memorials to ask the emperor to allow him to retire, but he was unable to decide for a while. Later, he heard that Yi wanted to recommend Bao to take this position. With his seniority and experience, and with Yi's sponsorship, there was no choice in the court. Unexpectedly, the hot chestnut broke out and it fell on his head.
