3707 The Taihe Gate
Zeng Guofan had long expected Weng Tonghe to make such remarks, and did not refute it, but looked at His Majesty and said, "This is too cold outside Dong'anmen Square, and I can't stand it!"
"Can Your Majesty enter the palace to give two basins of charcoal fire for the sake of the old minister's illness!"
Zai Chun was having a lot of trouble this morning. It started to do morning exercises before five o'clock until now, and the cold wind was really blew.
"Come on, let's go to Taihe Sect... Didn't there be rules in front of Taihe Sect to follow the government? Today I will restore another ancestral system... What are you talking about ancestral system? Have you changed it less?"
This is really ironic. The system of Taihemen's obedience to politics originated from the Ming Dynasty. Later, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Manchus entered the Forbidden City, it continued the system of the Ming Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Shunzhi and Kangxi, there were records of Taihe's followers and rulers!
However, in the middle and late Kangxi period, this system was abolished and there was no clear intention. Anyway, the later emperors did not come here anymore, and Taihe Gate became a palace for decoration!
Zaichun is taking charge of Taihe Sect and obeying the affairs of the state. This is a satirizing these diehards who adhere to the ancestral system and refuse to change it. I will tell you clearly that in fact, there are too many ancestral systems that our ancestors violated!
Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong... who has not modified the ancestral system? Now, seeing that I am easy to bully, I have taken out the ancestral system to restrain people?
I'm not easy to mess with!
Taihe Gate! Nominally called the gate, it is actually a palace inside, with the throne of Sumeru, and the hall where the ministers kneel down and stand is also very open!
Every day, eunuchs cleaned the spotlessly. The emperor came here temporarily, just set up the seats and burn the charcoal brazier in advance!
Before the emperor set off, the eunuchs who served were already busy. The Taihe Gate Palace Gate was open and the endless stream was filled with small eunuchs who prepared tables, chairs, benches, charcoal, tea and water!
The big four were patrolling his territory like a tiger. The master was seizing power, and those who were slaves could not relax. Those old eunuchs who stayed in Beijing and did not go abroad, no matter how high the grade, they would have to kill their majesty!
"Tight, tight, hurry up! Lazy bones, I haven't set rules in the palace these years. You have forgotten your duty, right?"
"Are you old guy insincere? How can you burn oak charcoal? Are you corrupt? You're going to be corrupt? Try twenty whips first!"
"Prepare the soft cushion, are you brainless? You won't think about things carefully? In the civil and military affairs of the court, how can you not give Marshal Zeng a seat?"
"In such a cold weather, do you let the coach sit on the bench? Get off..."
In the midst of the turmoil, a little eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Report to the Chief Supervisor, Long live the Lord... Long live the Lord!"
"Hurry, hurry up... I'm fine with my hands, hurry up..."
Zaichun led all the royal palace ministers, and a huge group of people entered the palace. They swaggered across Wenhua Hall and Union Gate, and headed straight to Taihe Gate along the corridor!
As soon as everyone entered the hall, a heat rushed to them. There was a circle of charcoal basins along the windows in the hall. The steaming heat blocked the cold wind outside.
Zaichun ascended to the Sumeru throne, raised his hand to signal to everyone to give him a seat. After thanking him, the emperor gave him hot tea to remove the cold!
Zeng Guofan asked everyone to return to the palace to discuss politics, not only because of his physical condition, but because he wanted to let everyone think calmly through such a period of time!
Everyone was so angry just now, it was time to reduce their anger!
Zaichun saw Zeng Guofan put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "What does the Grand Marshal teach me? Please just say it straightforward!"
"I don't dare, I have no big reason to talk about. I just don't want the military and civilians outside to listen to too much government affairs. Be careful of public opinion!"
"What the prince and the adults said just now makes sense, but in fact they are not wrong... The prince hopes that the ancestral system cannot be changed, or that the change must be changed slowly. I understand this meaning!"
"The two imperial teachers are thinking about stabilizing the court. I hope that Long Live the Emperor will get married first and then take power... It's not wrong!"
"But... everyone is right, is that Master Long Live is wrong?" Zeng Guofan sneered, "I'm afraid you still haven't understood the current situation!"
"If this is thirty years ago, what the prince and all the adults said is correct, but don't forget that it is not thirty years ago now!"
"I'll just say it clearly! The two princes are thinking in their hearts that the first is the Eight Banners of Manchus, and the second is the country and country! I'm right..."
Hum! Yi? He snorted coldly without saying that he was not denied, that meant he was acquiescent!
"Okay, it's good that the prince has agreed! The first thing the two imperial masters consider is the saint's natural conscience, and the second is the country, right?"
Weng Tonghe didn't say anything, just looked at the coach quietly!
Zeng Guofan was not polite today and simply raised a big cover. "What are you thinking about, an old man? Let me tell you clearly. The first thing I think about is the world. Don't fight anymore, don't die anymore! The second is the court and the emperor!"
Zeng Guofan bowed his head to Emperor Tongzhi and bowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I did not put the Emperor Long Live first in my heart. It is my fault!"
Zai Chun waved his hand, "I understand that the general has fought for half his life and has seen too many deaths. He doesn't want to see the tragic scene in the world again. This is the heart of a Bodhisattva who is compassionate and compassionate, and I will not blame him!"
Zeng Guofan committed a crime and then said, "We all have small plans, so let me ask, does the Chinese Xiao Letian have no small plans?"
"The foreigners in Dongjiaomin Lane don't have their little plans?"
"Hahaha... I said, lords, if you want to discuss the national affairs of the Qing Dynasty, I think you have to think about what these two groups of people think!"
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Yihuan was furious. "When will it be their turn to point fingers in the Qing Dynasty?"
"Who dares to interfere in the internal affairs of our country's dynasty?"
Zeng Guofan was determined to support Zaichun today. "Who dares to intervene? Haha... the old minister told the prince openly that as long as he led his troops to attack the country that had led his troops to attack Sijiucheng, he would dare to intervene!"
"You..." Yihuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't even speak!
At this moment, the senior four outside suddenly flashed in and reported, "Long live the emperor, Prime Minister Fuqing asked for a meeting!"
"Oh! Call in..."
“How…”
The big four-year-old left the hall for a while, and Fuqing, who was in a hurry, stepped into Taihe Gate!
"Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long!" Fu Qing bowed and straightened his waist and said, "I just received an urgent telegram from Ryukyu. The leader of the Tomorrow, Xiao Letian, will send special envoy Cai Bixia to visit the Qing Dynasty!"
"Please tell your Majesty how to meet him? Is it the Ministry of Rites or the Zongli Yamen... or your Majesty personally receives him!"
Before Zaichun could speak, Li Hongzao was the first to jump up, "What? Cai Bixia? That daughter of General Cai Mao, Ryukyu Kingdom?"
"A crazy woman who is unfaithful and shows up in public to study abroad in Europe?"
"It's simply a humiliation of my Qing Dynasty. How could this woman become an official? She is still an envoy? If you don't see me, you can't see me!"
