3811 Riding a sedan chair
"Hey... brother, why are you anxious? Brother, am I thinking about you?"
"Do you think you are honest and no one will embezzle this money? Joke, you are so arrogant and send the money to the Ministry of Revenue! No one will thank you, you will only say you are stupid!"
"I mentioned that you don't like to listen to the ministry fee? This fee was not ordered in this court. There were such rules in the Shunzhi period..."
"I heard... Zhang Jing from the Military Affairs Office is named Li Tuo. Recently, he has been very close to Li Lianying, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Fifth Master!"
"Even Cixi wanted to be promoted to his official position, but this kid never got promoted. He just made up his mind to be a minor official, and Zhang Jing would be over!"
"Why? After all, it's enough to be a minor official! It's even more than being an official..."
"In the Daoguang period, there was a Hanlin named Feng. I can't remember what his name was. Anyway, he had a good relationship with Lin Zexu... It is said that he had privately counted how much the fee was!"
"I don't know if I don't count it, I'll be shocked when I calculate it... The clerks of the Ministry of Personnel have a total of four departments. The department fees they eat are more than three million taels of silver every year!"
"If we count the Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites... the departmental expenses distributed by these minor officials every year will be 10 million taels!"
"This is still the market situation during the Daoguang period. Nowadays, wars have been fought in recent years, and there are many reimbursement accounts in various places. These grandchildren have made a fortune!"
"I'm just a few major yamen in the capital, and the yamen of the chief officials below? What about going to Xiafudao County? Haha... Isn't the world just like this? You are not greedy for him, everyone is greedy, not greedy for nothing!"
"Although I, Yi Li, are greedy for money, brother, don't worry, the projects handed over to my brother to ensure your quality... But if I don't do it, don't these projects be cheaper than outsiders?"
"Those grandsons, subcontract each layer! You peeled a layer of skin, and in the end you spent money, the project quality was not of no quality, which was even more harmful..."
"Brother, don't leave... don't be angry! If you don't give me all the projects, can you give me half of them?"
"Give me the project of expanding the barracks and patrolling the night grass shed! Isn't it just a project of 150,000 or 60,000 yuan... I'll give it to my brother..."
Yihuan no longer had the strength to refute. He made Yili's fallacy and evil saying so angry that he turned his head and left, and Yili jumped to chase him!
Many officials saw the performances of the two princes, and could even faintly hear the prince's conversation. Many people sighed and shook their heads, thinking in their hearts how many years the Qing Dynasty would be, how many years would it take to waste it like this?
Yi? He doesn't care about more than 600,000 silver taels at all. What he is thinking about now is how to go about the future situation!
Today, it was obviously a complete victory, but Zeng Guofan was disturbed. The old coach made a move with just a little finger and made a comeback!
Such a character is really terrible, I really want to kill him!
But Yi? I dare not. Although Zeng Guofan brought only a few thousand Hunan Army veterans in Zhuozhou, it would take only a minute for him to swallow him by tens of thousands of Xishan Army.
But if you dare to take action, you won’t have to worry about half of Jiangnan. Jiushuai is waiting to find excuses to rebel!
Whoever wants to be a high-ranking official wants to be shameless? I don’t want it anymore. Since I can’t beat the other party to death, I have to make peace and make a smile!
Today, I have to pick up the torn noodles. Thinking of this, Yi? I trotted quickly and chased him!
Mr. Zeng’s body is really not good. He can no longer withstand the two-thirds of the time he has been granted privileges in half a day!
This morning, the old farmer was also serving him with his internal strength to sort out his qi and blood, and then he smoked a few more smoke cannons before suppressing the pain between his cough and chest and abdomen!
In the past half a day, Zeng Guofan had already consumed all the energy accumulated. At this moment, the old farmer and a little Sula eunuch were traveling eastward with the commander on the left and right!
At present, the three of them slowly walked past the Danbi Stone behind Baohe Palace. Yi Li walked a few quick steps and quickly chased after him!
"The Grand Marshal specially ordered that he could ride a horse in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City. Why do he still have to walk? Why don't he lead the horses over?"
Zeng Guofan looked back and saw that it was Prince Gong, and quickly stopped and said with a smile, "Prince Gong... Are you giving a trap for the old minister! Is the right to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City also includes in front of the Palace of Peace of Heart?"
"Haha... Since the Shunzhi Dynasty, the privilege of riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City was limited to the nobles of the Eight Banners Palace. The Han people had this privilege until the Qianlong Dynasty..."
"But the right to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair is given to the ministers, and you can wander around in the Forbidden City? Is the prince bullying me for being aged and stupid?"
"The big neighbour has its own system. If an official who has the right to ride a horse and sits in a sedan chair, he or she will fall off the horse outside Jingyun Gate. Both the sedan chair and the horse must be placed in the Jianting Pavilion!"
"If an official enters the palace from Xihua Gate, he must get off his horse and fall into the alley outside the Longzong Gate and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then walk into the Military Affairs Office and the Da Nei!"
"Is what I said right? Prince... If all officials enter the palace from the Meridian Gate, they must be placed outside the Meridian Gate. This is the rule, and the rule left since the country was opened!"
"If the old minister remembers well, wouldn't Heshen have a charge of riding a horse under the ban? Heshen was arrogant and domineering, and relied on his holy favor to ride a horse from the Shenwu Gate to enter the palace and break into the imperial garden!"
"I have heard a lot of old things when the old minister was working on the bench in the capital!"
Yi? He flattered and slapped his feet, and his face turned slightly red and said, "Why is this old thing so difficult to fight?" But he still has to endure it. At present, the Japanese Lion is not ready to turn against the Hunan Army Group!"
Yi? Waves his hand and asks the eunuch Sula to retreat. He takes forward and actually supports Zeng Guofan's left and right hand, and accompanys the coach to the direction of Jingyunmen with the old farmer!
Zeng Guofan was not polite and let Yi go? This scene immediately surprised the officials who dispersed. Everyone looked at the incredible scene in front of him!
Yi? sighed and said, "The handsome man should wear more clothes. Although this black wolf skin cloak is good, it is definitely not as warm as a bear skin..."
"I have a good black bear skin outside the pass, and I will send it to Dashuai... You need to take care of your health 1"
Zeng Guofan smiled and did not refuse, "Thank you for your reward! I am sick, it doesn't matter... If this empire is sick, then you have to treat it quickly!"
Yi? Then Zeng Guofan said, "Yes, the Grand Marshal is a wise man! I don't hide it from the Grand Marshal. I actually have no objection to the reform plan of Long Sui Ye!"
