3809 Public anger is hard to offend
The proliferation of party and government in the court has its disadvantages and actually has its benefits!
There is no need to say much about the disadvantages. If you want to say that this advantage is what you are now, no faction allows one faction to completely fight the other faction to death!
The kind of life-and-death struggle usually occurs when there are only two major factions in the government and the opposition for power and profit, because the winner will become a centralized power, while the loser will have no possibility of surviving!
Is this the case with the Qing Dynasty now? Obviously not. The Japanese Six are considered to be the conservative force among the Manchus and the extreme conservative force!
Prince Li Shiduo, Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzao and others belong to the moderate and conservative schools!
The Han warlord group represented by Zeng Guofan!
The third master of Qing San, Fu Qing, represents the theory of the technical reformists in the court, which is based on middle school and Western learning for use!
Of course, Zai Chun is an extreme reformist!
The two empress dowagers represent the power of traditional etiquette!
This is not the end. If these factions are carefully split, they will be in the form of me and I and I, which is very chaotic!
This situation like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is very particular about unity, vertical and horizontal. Every force will take advantage of it carefully, and at the same time, it will not make a certain force bigger!
The Japanese Sixth fight was so easy today. The little emperor had no strength to fight back at all. And looking at this, Yi didn’t give any room for compromise!
This will naturally make other factions feel scared. It is good to teach the little emperor a lesson to release some benefits, but what do you mean? It won’t work if you want to replace it!
How can we watch you grow bigger?
Therefore, Zeng Guofan's counterattack was not a sign of loyalty in the eyes of many court officials, but a very normal reaction to the Han warlord group he represented!
Zhuang Zheng’s performance reminded the ministers who were working, and Cixi’s rage later gave the ministers an excuse to get involved!
Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao almost shouted in unison, "Prince Gong! You are too arrogant... aren't you afraid that later history books will charge you with a crime of forcing the king?"
"Do you want to be a living Cao Cao? Your Majesty has issued an order. How dare you not comply?"
The Minister of War Yinggui is actually not a direct descendant of the Japanese Sixth Division. He and Baoyuan are both moderate conservatives. They are disgusted with any extreme behavior in the court!
Zaichun was anxious to set up the big iron factory and they had doubts, and Prince Gong’s impatience in forcing the palace to be even more unpopular!
Yinggui knocked on the ground with one head, "Your Majesty is wise! This is the best way to deal with it. The eunuchs around the emperor should naturally be interrogated by the emperor himself! I am obeying the imperial edict!"
Bao Jing also kowtowed, "The Empress Dowager calms down, the Empress Dowager calms down! I dare not say such words. The Emperor Longsheng is the purest one who inherited the Great Treasure Dharma System in the past two hundred years!"
"Your Majesty will not be the emperor, I will be killed in this yard today!"
Master Qing San looked at the little emperor with tears in his eyes on the throne, feeling distressed to death, "Prince Gong! What else do you want? Will you build a prison before Your Majesty takes power?"
Xiaowu Master Yi Qiong also understood the situation. At this time, he had to stand on the side of the little emperor. This was also the grand strategy he discussed with Li Tuo, Yang Zhi and others before!
At this time, he took out his style of being an elder brother, "Lao Liu! What's going on? Are you endless? You're just a little thief who steals treasures from the palace! Long live, don't you have the right to deal with this?"
"It's already twelve o'clock. If you are not hungry, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have to have a meal! Just do as the emperor said, and this matter is settled like this! Whoever dares to sing the opposite tune, don't blame me for being fooled!"
Yi? Hurry up and kowtow, "I dare not refuse to be called! Long live the treatment is still very appropriate... but I have one last problem!"
"What should be done about the five million taels of silver that His Majesty brought from England!"
Money, money! After all, it’s still a matter of money. Yi? He won’t give up until he gets 650,000 yuan, and his eyes are still staring at the fat meat in the emperor’s hands!
This made everyone angry. Zeng Guofan sneered and said, "Haha... It's really an eye-opener! I don't understand why the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had no financial power!"
"Prince Gong, do you still want to go up and take away all the money from the emperor's purse?"
"No...No... Xiao Wang is also worried about the emperor. After all, the emperor is young and still has so much money in his hand. What if someone cheats him..." Yi? It's still chattering at this time.
Ci'an angrily slapped the table and said, "Yi?! Are you both empress dowagers in the two palaces decorations? Can you just give them the emperor to the control? Is the Ai family dead?"
"If you want it... I will give it to you... Your Majesty gives him the money, and this Qing Dynasty will give it to you too!"
"I don't dare!" Yi? He is still afraid of Ci'an. After all, this is a cruel character who dares to bring edicts to Xiao Letianyi!
Zaichun stood up and turned his head and left, "San Chao, San Chao!" As soon as he walked around the imperial throne, Zaichun turned his head to look at Prince Gong, "Uncle! Don't be too greedy!"
"Even if I give you the promissory note of the Bank of England... do you really think you can make money? You really don't understand the Western banking system!"
Zaichun raised his face with a blue face, and a group of eunuchs behind him also chased after him!
Zeng Guofan sorted out his hat, turned his head and left with a smile, while walking, and said, "Prince Gong! Teach you good! That Western banks pay attention to real-name system!"
"Whoever has an account will have to receive the money! Even if the certificate of deposit is put in your arms, will you recognize your old face as a British? Hahaha..."
Zeng Guofan took the lead and other ministers also came out with different expressions. The two empress dowagers also left the Donghunting Pavilion through the internal passage with the support of the eunuch.
The court meeting in early spring ended with Emperor Tongzhi raising the white flag to admit defeat!
This dynasty will open many hidden contradictions in the Qing Dynasty's political arena, and the harmonious situation of the empire's top leaders has completely broken down!
The ministers left the Yangxin Gate and the inner right gate, and then they arrived at the open space in the square in front of the Military Affairs Office!
The door of the Military Affairs Office was full of small heads, all of whom were looking out!
They have heard that Prince Gong has snatched 650,000 taels of silver from the young emperor, which makes them even more in awe of the Prime Minister, Minister Wang!
Looking at Yi's face, many little Sula and Zhang Jing, who was doing business, were so scared that he retracted his head!
"Tsk tsk... It's so amazing. I took away the treasure of Master Longsheng... 650,000 taels!"
"I heard it was placed in the Nine Gate Admiral's Office as physical evidence... Isn't this nonsense? That's all the money can still talk!"
"That is, in the end, the case must be closed and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue, but even the handover on the books is not given to the Ministry of Revenue!"
"The Nine Gate Admiral's Office just reported some money-spending projects, and then it was offset by itself!"
"I'm going to have another group of dirty officials!"
"Shhh... Silence, silent... Stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up and work!"
