662 Throwing a Stone to Ask the Way

Why did Tian Dahuozhuo incite the emperor to besiege the Zongli Yamen? In fact, he himself couldn't figure it out. Later, Western historians interviewed him, but Tian Dahuozhuo stammered for a long time but couldn't understand it.

In fact, what the comrades who know this guy are saying is very clear. This guy is just a hot temper. He is simply because he can't stand the Prime Minister's decree being tampered with and abolished. In his eyes, every word the Prime Minister said is an imperial edict.

"The Prime Minister's health regulations for the capital are not for your own good. The Longxugou renovation plan allows you to be full of people and be affordable. A stinky ditch has become a prosperous commercial street. Isn't this good governance?"

"You all make a fortune. The Prime Minister also arranged for the Red Sleeve Hoop to supervise the hygiene of the city. You can get a clean and tidy capital in less than a few hundred taels of silver a year. Isn't this a deal worthwhile?"

"Are they all a group of dirty pigs? You have to be dirty every day. It's strange that since you became this new army, why did you gradually love to clean yourself? You have to brush your teeth and wash your face every morning and evening, and you have to take a shower every three days. Now you feel that you are different from yourself when you are farming..."

"Isn't it okay for the Prime Minister to let you clean now? I'm greedy for hundreds of taels of silver. My god... Well, I heard that women in Sijiu City don't like to take a bath. Some people just wash once or twice in a winter, how dirty it is..."

Tian Dahuozhan's thinking was very jumping. There was a long and endless carriage beside the war horse. The emperor's three hundred personal troops left Guangqumen in the dark and marched towards Tanggu.

Tian Dahuozhan and the 300-person army were a troublesome act, but he did not expect that a seed of unstableness was planted within the Manchus. The Manchus were a group, which was different from the courts formed by other Han people. The shadow of the tribal meeting system in ancient times did not completely dissipate. The so-called Eight Kings' Discussion on Politics and the Iron Hat King's Participation in Politics are all manifestations of this consciousness.

To put it simply, the Aisin Jueluo family learned the Han people's idea of ​​monarchy and heavenly empowerment, and used it to consolidate the emperor's supreme authority. However, within the Eight Banners, there will always be a group of people who do not use this one.

When Baishan and Hei River rose up, everyone was drinking beside the fire, and they discussed military and national affairs. Why did they keep talking about everyone after entering the Aixin Jueluo family? There are still some people who are not convinced within the Eight Banners.

The emperor wants to centralize power, and the Eight Banners need to separate power. Just so many powers are divided into more and less, that is a contradiction. The three emperors of Kangxi and Yongzheng and Gan were too strong, and all the oppositions within the Manchus have been suppressed.

But they could not suppress them for a lifetime. The Manchus were not like the Han people who had been brainwashed by the emperor's only thoughts that had been for thousands of years. Their wildness was still there for two hundred years, and their passion was still a little excited.

After Kang and Yonggan, although the Eight Banners were still loyal to the emperor, their own small plans became more and more. Gu Xiao’s family forgot about everyone’s self-interest behavior. By the later period of Guangxu, the entire Manchu class was loyal to the old woman Cixi, and forgot who the emperor was.

With deep considerations here, it is not difficult to see the genes of the white mountains and black waters flowing in Manren's blood. After all, the Manren group is a collection of small tribes. The idea of ​​unified centralization is learned from the Han people. In their bones, they still like to live a free and unrestrained tribal life.

Of course, it would be great if tribal life can still enjoy the civilized services provided by the Han people.

Tian Dahuozhuo's unconscious agitation, and the collective actions of the three hundred emperors' personal soldiers with resentment made the nobles smell a strong smell of danger.

They would never believe that this conflict was a group of children's brains. In their eyes, Company Commander Tian's actions must have been ordered, either the emperor or the prime minister, or more likely the result of the two of them discussing.

"The little emperor's trick is to throw a stone to ask for directions. Xiao Letian took him out of the Forbidden City, and his heart naturally became wild. He found that the entire court could not stop him from studying, so his appetite would be even bigger..."

"Tooling a stone to ask for directions, this is throwing a stone to ask for directions. Maybe he wants to use this little trick to touch our limits... Maybe he also wants to know who is truly loyal to him..."

"Great, really, very clever. I finally figured it out now. Three hundred guards are three hundred families. Those who are at ease and follow the order without any discount are naturally loyal ministers in the eyes of the emperor. The families who have replaced the pillars are very clear. They are only loyal to their own interests, not the emperor..."

"Damn it, the whole family in Sijiu City said that there are not many more, and that there are not many less. These three hundred households are just touchstones..."

Just as the two princes were worried, a low voice suddenly came from outside the window, "The problem is not as simple as the prince thought." Weng Tonghe came in with the voice.

Weng Tonghe, who had experienced the Emperor's study tour, had been in good health for more than a month before he became better. Moreover, this storm made him very close to the upper class of the Eight Banners, but the original estrangement turned into an alliance.

Judging from the fact that Weng Tonghe can enter the back hall of the Zongli Yamen at will without reporting this, the relationship between the old man and the two princes is already very close.

"The two princes, the officials, have been at home these days, and have not been idle. Instead, they read the Animation of the Travels to the West written by Xiao Letian several times, and by the way, they also extended some Western knowledge from this book, picked some and learned about it..."

"I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. We had underestimated Xiao Letian before, so we suffered such a big loss. For these three hundred families, Xiao Letian used the probability method commonly used in the West, which is a category in mathematics..."

"I heard from the butler that when a conflict broke out outside Guangqu Gate, only one hundred of the three hundred guards strictly abide by the imperial edict. They gathered together and hid aside and did not participate in the conflict at all. The remaining two hundred people were all replaced by the family..."

"That is to say, only 33% of the Manchu family who were truly loyal to the emperor in the entire capital, which is what we commonly call 33%... Haha, the rest are all fencemen, fencemen, and selfish things."

"The little emperor has found out the depth of the Eight Banners with an imperial edict. He has now understood that the power of loyalty to him in the court is only 30%... What a clever way to throw a stone to ask for directions. I believe that there will be more such temptations in the future."

Yi? He threw the cup of tea on the table with a bang. "The king and his subjects are suspicious of this. Is this a bit like a saint? It is difficult to become a great man with such small means."

Yihuan shook his head, "Oh... I don't have so much concern when I close the door and say Hu is not so worried. The emperor has seen through it. Although everyone in the court shouts long live, they all say they are loyal to the emperor. In fact, who are you loyal to? It's not the one-acre and three-point land of your own."

"It's not easy for Zai Chun to see through such a profound truth at the age of eleven."

Weng Tonghe sneered and said, "It's not that Xiao Letian's instigation, otherwise how could an eleven-year-old child think of such a vicious plan. The imperial power must be upright, generous, and rely on benevolence to influence the ministers. This is the reason why he said... Now that his Majesty's mind has made Xiao Letian instill a bunch of small means, we who are ministers will be unlucky in the future..."

"Oh..." The three of them sighed and finally cursed in unison, "You little Xiao Letian, you deserve to kill."

Xiao Letian of Ryukyu had no idea that he had become the one who took the blame for the little emperor. The world was so conscience. Xiao Letian and Zaichun didn't think so much about this conflict in the capital. The little emperor just wanted to train a personal army of the emperor.

The reckless acts of Tian Dahuozhuo and a group of children made a serious sense of crisis within the Eight Banners. A group of guys with ulterior motives began to connect, and the alliance against the imperial power quietly took shape.

But Xiao Letian didn't know these things now. He was tortured by an ordinary corruption case so much that he couldn't sleep. The case was very simple. Lin Yuanmiao, the Minister of Revenue of Ryukyu, was embezzled.

After Hu Xueyan accepted the emperor's mission and left the military camp, he met the long-known Prime Minister Xiao of Donghai at the banquet of the shopkeeper Fan Jian.

The young and handsome Xiao Letian shocked Hu Xueyan as soon as he appeared. He never expected that Xiao Letian was so young, and it seemed that he might not be over thirty years old. At such an age, he would have such a big career, and this would be great in the future.

It is said that it is not easy to meet Xiao Letian with the identity of Hu Xueyan. Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, the imperial teacher, the VIP of the European King, a scholar of Western learning, and a famous military strategist. His dazzling halos make people unable to open their eyes.

Hu Xueyan and his shopkeepers quickly worshiped each other, kowtowed on the ground, but before his knees landed, they were pulled up by Xiao Letian.

"Zhesha, Zhesha, you, Hu Xueyan, is the number one merchant in Jiangnan. What you do in the world is to benefit the country and the people. Although you and I have not met each other, you have been in a relationship for a long time... This is a family banquet, don't be too polite, sit down and drink more..."

Xiao Letian's harmonious spring breeze made Hu Xueyan amazed. A great man with such a high status actually treated him so respectfully as a businessman.

"The Prime Minister loves wrongly, he loves wrongly..." At this moment, Xiao Letian suddenly found that there was still someone kneeling on the ground. It was Zhang Xiaowen, the second shopkeeper under Hu Xueyan, who was in charge of Ryukyu business.

"Why haven't this shopkeeper got up yet? Come on, don't be too polite and please sit down..."

"The Prime Minister is here, the young man kowtowed to the Prime Minister, and the young man has any grievances to tell the Prime Minister." Zhang Xiaowen's eyes were red.

"Lin Yuanmiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Ryukyu, instructed the butler to ask for bribes from Xiaodi. The reconstruction contract of twenty stores in Liangmi Street actually asked for bribes of 80,000 silver coins... In the silk, tea and porcelain trafficked from Jiangnan, the butler also asked for bribes of more than 20,000 silver coins..."

"Prime Minister, 100,000 silver coins are not small, so I can no longer explain to the general account. However, Lin Yuanmiao is an important official of Ryukyu, and the young man dare not complain... I will give up my promise today when I see the prime minister. I ask the prime minister to give me justice. The big shopkeeper has come, and the small account cannot match... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Hu Xueyan's whole body was soaked with cold sweat. "Zhang Xiaowen... Are you crazy? You are so ungrateful. Lord Lin is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How could he be greedy for this little money and not give it to me..."

One hundred thousand silver coins are nothing to Hu Xueyan. If one hundred thousand silver coins can be exchanged for the friendship of a high-ranking official, then the deal is too cost-effective. He has also prepared a gift for Xiao Letian in his sleeve, a Jiangnan land deed worth 200,000 taels of silver.

In the past, Zhang Xiaowen was very smart, why did he lose his heart today?
