Chapter Forty-Seven: Liniuer's Ten Thousand Pounds of Burden
Guan Zhuofan's mind was racing, and in his mind, Cixi's intentions were already clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Cixi's own tacit "rules", the emperor can only be pro-government at the age of eighteen, Rong'an is fifteen years old this year, and there are three years to be eighteen years old.
If so, the Queen Mother is not only the Queen Mother, but also the Queen Mother after the yellow mantle.
Guan Zhuofan smiled lightly in his heart.
I knew you wouldn't surrender and give up so easily!
Good! Every inch of land must be fought, and you still want to get out of the immortal in the belly of the dead end, you really deserve to be Yehnara. Xingzhen, as the Queen Mother, who holds the highest power in the empire, is indeed worthy of being a ...... My woman.
Well, very well.
It should be said that Cixi's abacus is still quite loud.
After the emperor's "big wedding", he has the qualifications to be pro-government, but he does not have to be pro-government immediately, this, there is an example of the Holy Ancestor - 11-year-old marriage, 14-year-old pro-government. Therefore, although Rong'an has already "married", if you imitate the story of the Holy Ancestor, after ascending the throne, put it aside for two or three years and then pro-government, and consider the "ancestral system", it is not unreasonable.
What's more, although it is obviously too late for the emperor to "get married" at the age of eighteen, and there is no rule in this dynasty that the emperor can only govern when he is eighteen years old, but the strange thing is that for so many years, for the question of when Mu Zong will be in power, unconsciously, everyone has defaulted to eighteen years old.
If you casually arrest a pro-noble minister, ask him, why is it that Emperor Mu Zongyi can only be pro-government at the age of eighteen? When he thinks deeply, he must be speechless—yes, why?
Let's put this matter aside for a while, let's talk about Princess Rong'an first-no matter how the "standard" for Mu Zong to be able to govern when he is eighteen years old comes out, anyway, if this "standard" is used to set Princess Rong'an, after she ascends the throne, it will indeed take another three years before she can be pro-government.
These are the "theoretical basis" of Cixi's sentence "Liniuer is fifteen years old this year, and there are still three years to go, and she will only be eighteen years old - what should I do in these three years".
Moreover, when Cixi said this, the tone made people feel that the emperor could only govern at the age of eighteen, which was a matter of course since ancient times, and there was never any doubt.
Hmph, hum, hum.
"Back to the Queen Mother," Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "In the past three years, what should I do-"
At this point, he also deliberately paused.
Cixi's heart was also raised.
"The minister thinks," Guan Zhuofan continued, "This is not something that the ministers can beak, everything must be respectfully decided by the two queen mothers." ”
Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile on her face: "Anyway, I still have to listen to your opinion first." ”
"The great affairs of the heirs, no matter how big or small, everything is out of the holy judgment, and the ministers do not have any opinions of their own."
In Cixi's heart, she secretly scolded: "Hypocrisy! Slick! ”
On the face, he is naturally calm and gentle, "When you say this, you are keeping your duty, but in terms of selfishness, Liniuer is your blessing, and husband and wife are connected; On the public, you are the minister in charge of the country, 'the Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs', we still have to discuss it. ”
"Minister...... Listen to the mercy. ”
Cixi pondered for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "Liniu'er, this child, everything is good—her heart and eyes are good, and she is also smart, it's just another little ...... Haven't read anything, alas! ”
Okay, here we are.
"Pro-government-" Cixi frowned slightly, "Don't say anything else, you must always be able to see the excerpts!" Liniuer is ...... right now I'm afraid, she can't read the excerpts, right? ”
To be honest, the current Princess Rong'an, whether she can see the excerpts, Guan Zhuofan doesn't know, anyway, he hasn't tried it. Cixi pointed out that Rong An "didn't read any books", but it was basically a fact, the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the education of the prince, which was the crown of all dynasties, but the education of the imperial daughter was not cared for.
However, when we Princess Rong'an were in the palace, we were with Concubine Hui, who was born in poetry and books, and she was very bad about making up for half a year's cultural knowledge; So far, under the advocacy of Concubine Ligui, the class has not been interrupted. Today's level, although it can't be compared with the "imaginary enemy" of the "north" in Concubine Ligui's mind - Princess Dunrou, but, compared with before Concubine Hui was her teacher, today's Liniuer is no longer Wuxia Ameng.
Cixi didn't know about these situations - she couldn't tell Cixi now, otherwise, like Guan Zhuofan, he would have laid out the game early, and he was deliberately taking his wife and seeking the position of the emperor.
Especially when Princess Rong'an worshiped Concubine Hui as her teacher, she had just issued a decree to get married, and there were still several months before the official "surrender"; Emperor Mu Zongyi's dragon body is still very good - at that time, you will stare at the throne of the Taihe Hall for your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door?
That's really—it's damned!
In fact, at that time, Guan Zhuofan was indeed staring at the throne of the Taihe Palace, but Princess Rong'an's "further study" was not his head and tail, it was his mother-in-law who was anxious for her own daughter, afraid that she would marry and be compared to her son-in-law's other wife, so "the guns are wiped in battle, and it is not happy to be light".
So, Guan Zhuofan could only answer vaguely: "Yes." ”
"Speaking of reading excerpts," Cixi said, "it's really not just a literacy!" I think in the first place—"
After a pause, "In the year of Xinyou, if I hadn't seen the excerpts for Emperor Wenzong for two years, I wouldn't have known how to fight with Su Shun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua?" I don't understand anything, I can't touch anything, it's not what they say, it's what? 'Listen to politics or something', that's even more unexpected! ”
That's true.
"The Queen Mother's wisdom is bestowed," Guan Zhuofan said, "is it comparable to His Majesty?" ”
Cixi smiled lightly, "Well, don't brag about it here." ”
After a pause, "However, although I can't compare with your Prince Xuan, among women, I'm probably quite smart - this, probably not boasting." ”
"The Queen Mother is wise, how can the minister ......"
"Yes, yes!"
Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"Besides," Cixi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I'm older, I've seen more people and things I've passed by—Liniu'er won't be stupider than me, but I'm young!" The villain is only fifteen years old, as soon as he ascends the throne, he will be pro-government, and the burden of ten thousand catties will be all rested on his shoulders at once. ”
"Uh...... Be. ”
"It's one thing to see the excerpts," Cixi said, "and it's another thing to see the military plane!" ”
After a pause, "Hmph, which of you is easy to deal with?" 'Above' is wrong, you are down, you don't say it, and you snicker in your stomach-"
Guan Zhuofan was quite embarrassed, "The ministers will never dare!" Minister......"
"Forget it! I don't know you yet? ”
Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to swallow the following words back.
"I'm thick-skinned," said Cixi, "you jokes, I don't care, Liniu'er can't!" She's a little girl, and she's thin-skinned, so you can't help but make fun of her! ”
Hey, this tone, it seems...... conceived in October, the one who gave birth to Princess Rong'an was not the one from Yonghe Palace, it was your Queen Mother!
Also, from beginning to end, she stubbornly held Princess Rong'an's "little person" and "little girl's family", turning over and over one word - small!
The subtext is: you are not qualified to be pro-government.
"Except for the military planes," Cixi continued, "the other ministers—those who have entered Hajj, those who have seen Him, and those who have spoken of Him...... And more! ”
There was a pause, "Especially the provincial governor Fu into the pilgrimage!" Zeng Guofan, Peng Yulin, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang...... Seeing this group of people is even more troublesome than seeing military aircraft! The military planes are all their own people, and the jokes are jokes, their group ...... Hmph, that's not a word to be wrong! Otherwise, wouldn't it be called 'outside' to underestimate the court? ”
"Uh......"
"Uh" to "uh", what Cixi said is indeed reasonable, and it is not a small knowledge to receive the supervision of His Majesty and His Majesty's resignation.
Above the court, the monarch and the ministers met, although most of them were clichés, but the tone of the voice, the entry and exit of the joints, are all exquisite, a person who is not properly handled, the superintendent who enters the pilgrimage, and stares at the up and down, inside and outside, may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Also, in addition to clichés, there must also be real content.
When the governor entered Beijing, under normal circumstances, the meeting with the monarch was only His Majesty's meeting and His Majesty's speech, and according to the etiquette system, the time of these two meetings could not be too long. How to understand the situation that should be understood, how to explain the matters that should be explained, how to fully carry out the will of the monarch through the person being interviewed, and how to establish and maintain the necessary relationship with the person being received are all knowledge.
These, unlike the decisions of the government, can be entrusted to the military - the words have to come out of your own mouth, and no one else can replace them.
Of course, the actual situation is not as serious as Cixi said, when His Majesty sees and resigns, one or two sentences from the "top" are not very well said, which is not a particularly unusual thing, and people "outside" will not dare to "despise the holy bow" because of one or two sentences.
However, there are too many wrong things to say, but that's another story.
The curtain of the two palaces is draped, and the one who says the wrong thing is generally the one who is "in the east", Cixi herself, who rarely says the wrong thing. Ci'an is also very self-aware, and when the queen mother of the two palaces met with His Majesty and His Majesty at the same time, most of the words were spoken by Cixi.
However, if on the throne, after the yellow curtain, there is only the queen mother, the empress dowager, such as Cixi is sick, or, as is now, "out of the patrol" and "out of residence", Ci'an will have no way to escape, there is no escape.
If so, the Queen Mother and Queen Mother felt deeply bitter.
Anyway, Cixi said that the implication was that Rong'an ascended the throne and was pro-government, and the heat was not enough.
"I think," said Cixi, "I should always find a helper for Liniu'er." ”
Helper? This statement is interesting, come to think of it, is it your Virgin Queen Mother?
"Look," Cixi said idly, "how about you add the title of 'Regent'—for the next three years, you will be the regent?" ”
What the?!
