The clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are circulating, and the silver man is experiencing darkness.

...

Longyu's movement was indeed a bit big. Except for Zaifeng's special situation, close relationship and a little seniority, the rest of the people were a little angry. Of course, this did not include Shi Xu. He had already understood it in his heart and knew the emperor's thoughts - otherwise, why would the emperor ask himself to take the treasure book? How could the queen see the treasure book? Looking at these noisy guys, he couldn't help laughing, but he was filled with righteous indignation on the surface.

As soon as everyone decided to ask the emperor to judge him, he could not let the queen make a fuss. While rushing to the Yangxin Palace, Shi Xu found that Zhang Zhidong was walking slowly and slowly, gradually falling behind. Others thought he was old and had difficulty in legs and feet, but Shi Xu saw that Xiang Shuai was clearly thinking.

Looking at the excited mourning ministers, Lin Guangyu was secretly amused. Unexpectedly, Longyu was so powerful when he was scolding people. After listening to Tong's general story, he immediately raised his face and scolded him with a harsh expression: "The queen is so unreasonable. I have to discipline her well, don't take it to heart... I'll compensate her for it, right?"

Nothing could the emperor compensate the ministers? Everyone's anger was almost gone, and the expression on their faces began to turn cloudy, so they naturally didn't dare to say it. But why did this sound so awkward? After listening to the emperor's comforting words, Zhang Zhidong savored it: the emperor said that the queen was wrong, but did not need to make follow-up actions to correct it. This was not the queen's whim that the minister was treacherous. It was clearly the expression of the emperor's own intention, but the emperor was not convenient to speak directly.

"I would like to ask the emperor to tell you what should I do about this funeral ceremony?" Someone really mentioned it ignorantly.

"I am busy with state affairs and I am really unable to interfere in family affairs. Although the queen is not so sensible, the few words she said are not completely unreasonable. Please consider it..."

Yi Li, Shan Qi and others are all first-class experts in observing words and expressions. Thinking that the emperor and the empress were originally not harmonious, although their relationship has improved recently, why is it so consistent in this matter? It is obvious that there is a ghost, so how dare you "consider" it, and now you express your opinion: "The queen's words make sense, and the slaves and others follow it."

Only the Minister of Rites Pu Liang was a straightforward young man and shouted: "Emperor, the servant thought it was inappropriate. If it were an ordinary family, funerals were naturally family affairs, but the empress dowager was different. She was in charge of the government three times, and she had great achievements in the country and the people... The empress dowager's funeral slave thought it was not only family affairs, but also state affairs. So..."

Lin Guangyu only glanced at it, and the words he threw out made the boss present feel cold: "You mean I can't even distinguish between state and family affairs?"

"Your Majesty, this is not what the slave means, but I am afraid that it will damage the royal reputation if it is spread..."

"If you pay heavy attention to the people, you will not damage the royal reputation if you disobey the Queen Mother's last wishes?"

Pu Liang was still waiting to defend himself. With a "bang!", the emperor was obviously angry, picked up the brush in his hand and threw it down: "Pu Liang, you are not bad. After reading for a few days, a Jinshi started to guide me. Why don't you plan the funeral ceremony properly?"

Pu Liang simply insisted on the end: "Since the emperor thinks that the slave is not concerned, please spare the servant's errands!"

Everyone was shocked and was about to persuade him. He heard a "hum!" and the emperor clearly looked like he was still angry, "I promised my oral order!"

"Pu Liang, the Minister of Rites, has outstanding knowledge and is proficient in etiquette. He appointed him as the Empress Dowager of the Great Destiny to fully plan the funeral and handle all matters. In order to avoid being distracted, he was allowed to be appointed as the Minister of Rites..."

Everyone was shocked. After only a while, why did the emperor even draft the imperial edict? He was clearly prepared. Pu Liang, this guy, hit the knife and left the title of empty shell in a few words. How could he persuade him? In fact, they didn't know at all. Lin Guangyu had already agreed with Wang Shang. If someone had no idea of ​​raising the tribute and insisted on jumping out and humming, he would announce the imperial edict according to the pre-prepared caliber. Wang Shang had prepared a set of rhetoric for everyone according to the emperor's wishes. As a result, Pu Liang insisted on taking the position, and he could only bring shame to himself.

"I thank God for my kindness." Pu Liang was angry. "I felt cold recently and was weak. Please resign as the Minister of Personnel."

"Accurate!" Lin Guangyu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word. He originally wanted to save some face for him, but he didn't expect that he would be shameless, so he just rubbed it to the end.

Pu Liang didn't thank him, but just said that he would accept the order and retreated in a bad mood. When everyone saw that the emperor had eaten the weight, they thought that it would be of no practical significance to persevere, so they could just do it.

After the position of the Minister of Rites was empty, Lin Guangyu asked everyone for their opinions. Everyone thought that the emperor is now arbitrary and holds all the big and big things in his hands. How dare he talk too much? This Minister of Rites is a thankless job, and whoever takes over will be unlucky!

"Then I will decide one. Pu Ying, the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, was a royal family, and he had worked as the Minister of Rites. It was just right, so I let him do it." Everyone was timid, but Zhang Zhidong felt a little sad, and he secretly shouted that it was bad! The incident of the Six Halls of the Ministry of Rites in the Reform Movement of 10 years ago was a sensation. Pu Ying, who was then the Minister of Rites, was dismissed by the emperor together with the other five people for the reason of "blocking the way of speech". Although he could not help but kill a warning to the emperor at that time. But he definitely could not pee in the same pot, let alone transfer from the oil and water yamen of the agriculture, industry and commerce to the cold yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Can Pu Ying himself be happy? He must have to complain! The emperor said righteously and clearly wanted to take Pu Ying down again, but he first put the person on the position of the Minister of Rites to the cold yamen of the Ministry of Rites. He was ridiculous that these people were still in the dark.

"As for the position of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce... Uncle Qing, how do you think of Xu Shichang?"

Is it bad to say that Xu Shichang? He originally wanted to try to persuade the emperor not to touch Pu Zheng, but now he talked about changing his position to Xu Shichang, so how could he object? This is Lin Guangyu's chain plan, to pull one faction and fight another, try to narrow the attack surface and proceed step by step.

"The slave thought it was OK." Prince Qing expressed his support, Prince Su expressed his support, Prince Chun expressed his support, and Prince Li expressed his support, and the audience passed!

"Then I will issue an edict, promise, even Cen Chunxuan's re-appointment edict will be issued together!"

"Official Tu" is back again? Everyone looked at each other, and a dark cloud appeared on Yi Li's face.

"Uncle Qing, I asked him about the holiday with you. It was a complete misunderstanding... I had already asked him to come to the door to apologize. He had just gone to Yuan's house to pay his respects. Can you still have the same knowledge as him?" How did this answer make people answer? It was so clear that Yi Li was speechless. Not only did he hate Zhang Zhidong in his heart, but Zhang Nanpi ignored him and pretended to be confused there.

"As for Qu Hongji, he hurt people and colluded with the newspaper industry. I will never tell you! Uncle Qing, don't worry." Lin Guangyu hit him hard just now, and now he quickly gave a sweet date to comfort him. Yi Li was even more helpless and could only comfort himself. After all, Qu Hongji is not here, and Cen Chunxuan is alone no matter what. I am in the military plane, Xu Shichang, and the Tong account for half, which is enough to suppress the boy. The emperor has already made a big move and he has already made a big move. But he must not refute his face.

"The emperor is wise!" Nonsense, can it not be wise? I have already figured out your little thoughts, and the blows I have given you are within your tolerance - this is called boiling frogs in warm water.

Everyone left, but Zaifeng was left by the emperor to question. Seeing his trembling look, Lin Guangyu smiled: "Fourth brother, what are you worried about? What's the point of being scolded by your princess? What's more, so many people accompany you to be scolded. Yesterday I went to Yuan's mansion to pay condolences. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?"

After hearing the emperor's comfort, Zaifeng felt relieved - even if it was an ordinary family, it was normal for his brother-in-law to be scolded by his sister-in-law, let alone between the monarch and the ministers? Now when the emperor asked about the "memorial service on behalf of heaven", Zaifeng, who was originally depressed, suddenly became excited. Not only did he ejaculate and explained the whole process in detail, but he also exaggerated the grand scene arranged by the Yuan Mansion and the respect of the mourners. However, he did not dare to say anything about the troublesome seats before departure, for fear that the emperor would get angry if he knew about it.

Lin Guangyu nodded: "Zaifeng, you did a good job, it's not in vain that I will give you all the ceremonial guards!"

"Your Majesty, I saw several important officials of the Army Department paying my condolences yesterday. It seemed that they were here to pay mourning to Yuan Shikai. But my brother was a little unclear. The emperor clearly asked them to pay mourning to the Queen Mother, why didn't they come to see the Emperor first?..."

"Who is there?"

"Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui... there are several others who are not familiar with them."

"So they have arrived?" Lin Guangyu fell into deep thought, "Let Liangbi bring his men and bring them with my edict. These bold things are becoming more and more distorted."
