Chapter 36: Silence
There is no grade in the "joining the military plane" itself, and the grade of the minister of military aircraft is the grade of their own post.
For example, Cao Yuying, whose job is "the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate", is from the first product; The new military machine Xu Gengshen's job is to serve as a servant of the ministry, which is the second grade.
"The Minister of Military Aircraft Learns to Walk", "The Minister of Military Aircraft Walks Down", and "The Military Aircraft Department Walks" only indicates the depth of seniority, and does not represent the level of grade. "The Minister of Military Aircraft is the least qualified" and the "Military Aircraft Department Walking" has the deepest qualifications.
When Guan Zhuofan joined the direct military aircraft, he was "the minister of military aircraft walking".
As for the "foreman of the military aircraft department", his role and status depend on the situation of the monarch and the "system" at that time.
If the emperor is strong and diligent enough, the "foreman of the military aircraft department" will only have a literal meaning, and he is really a leader. It can even be said that because they are the shortest or tallest, or have the fewest strokes of their surname, they are just the first in line when they line up for seats. Of course, it can be regarded as a kind of honorary title.
At this time, the emperor was not only the head of state, but also the head of government, and there was no need or permission for another head of government to come out.
Several ministers of military aircraft are directly responsible to the emperor, and it is okay for the emperor to give instructions to any minister of military aircraft to do anything.
But if the emperor is weak, or because of some other reason, such as being too young to be in charge of the government, unable to concurrently serve as the head of government, and the snake is not able to do it without a head, the "foreman of the military aircraft department" is the real head of government.
Under a special "system", such as the current "hanging curtain", the queen mother of the two palaces cannot directly serve as the head of government. The role of the foreman of the Military Aircraft Division will also be greatly strengthened.
So. The current "foreman of the Military Aircraft Department". It is an out-and-out "central leader", and it is not good to hang in the air, but the meaning of the two houses is very clear: wait.
Many people have set their eyes on Shanghai, and in this political tide, Guan Beizi, who has never shown up, has become more and more clear.
"Gongxi" quickly felt the long shadow cast by the man from afar.
The "Gong Department" contacted the clan, the way of speech, and the superintendent, and implemented the plan for King Gong's intercession and comeback. Surprisingly not smooth.
Cao Yuying's plan is actually a good plan, but there must be such a premise: King Gong does not have a strong competitor.
But in fact, there is such a competitor.
At this point, the situation is very clear: to support King Gong is to oppose Guan Zhuofan.
You can only choose one of the two.
Everyone thinks: what if I choose the wrong one?
As a result, the attitude of most people becomes ambiguous.
There are still those who support King Gong, but the number is not enough, the weight is insufficient, and some are simply helping.
For example, a man named Wang Zheng, named Shaohe, is a native of Maping, Guangxi. Zhang Jing, a military machine, was born and worked as a Taichang Siqing. The deputy envoy of the left is now the political envoy, which can be regarded as the "Nine Qings". He is a master of ancient literature of the Tongcheng School, and he is good at poetry and painting, but I don't know if Lu Dao is related to smoking too much opium, and this excerpt on him is very inexplicable.
On the one hand, Wang Zheng spoke for King Gong and "opened a reinstatement mission", and on the other hand, he suggested that the imperial court should call Guan Zhuofan, Wu Ren, Zeng Guofan, and the three "as ministers of parliament".
The two words "discussing politics" are extremely sensitive in the Qing generation.
The system of "ministers of the king of parliament" began with the "ruling king of Shigushan" in the fourth year of the Mandate of Heaven, and the so-called "eight kings of the government" in the sixth year of the mandate of heaven, thus forming a system of "ministers of the king of parliament".
This system was essentially a Manchu aristocratic republic, a system in which the clan distributed power to the emperor. Therefore, since the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty, the three generations of Shengzu, Sejong, and Gaozong have spared no effort to carry out various blows on this system and take over the power to the emperor.
Among them, the Yongzheng Dynasty also caused a huge turmoil because of the "Eight Kings Discussion of Politics", and Yun Yu and Yun Yu fell down and never got up again.
In the 56th year of Qianlong, the "Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament" was officially abolished.
King Gong's title of "King of Deliberations" is a special case, indicating the meaning of "governing together" with the two palaces. This practice of actually dividing half of the imperial power is destined to not last. Sure enough, now, the two palaces have begun to "collect power" from King Gong.
In this case, Wang Zheng made a "Minister of Parliament", and it was only about Zhuo Fan's clan, Zeng Guofan or Han Chinese, how could it be possible? It's really making people laugh and cry.
Wang Zheng's original intention was to invite all factions to sit together and share the pork, so that there would be no fighting.
This excerpt, because there is such absurd content in it, if it doesn't want to trouble Wang Zheng, it is destined to be "drowned", and even the part of his pleading for King Gong will disappear together, and it will not be effective at all. Moreover, no one can say anything yet.
There is also such a saying, Wang Zheng is not emotional, and he can't help but speak to King Gong, but he deliberately added a "ridiculous language" to the excerpt to abolish his martial arts, so that he can not only explain the "Gong system", but also will not really offend the other side.
The only valuable excerpt is that of Tan Zhonglin in the Six Branches.
"The eventful autumn in the sea, thanks to one virtue and one heart, a total of health and prosperity, and especially in Yi's relatives, if the corridor temple is above, the first suspicion, fundamentally between, failed to reconcile, shocked the Chinese and foreign audio-visual, increase the worry of the night, and the overall situation is really related."
Regardless of right or wrong, pure persuasion, this idea is very correct.
But things are also a little weird. Because Tan Zhonglin is old-fashioned and opposes foreign affairs, he and King Gong are not each other's "dishes". At this time, stand up and "endorse" King Gong?
So there are rumors that "Gong" and Tan Zhonglin made a deal in private. This kind of rumor has greatly diminished the effectiveness of this excerpt.
This Tan Zhonglin has a son who will be very famous in the future, named Tan Yanhong.
In any case, one Tan Zhonglin is not enough.
This is the situation on the road of Jingguan and Yan.
What about the Banner People and the Clan?
The reason why the banner people and the clan did not wait to see King Gong has already been said; As for Guan Zhuofan, he is in the stage of "the most imaginative".
Xuanjun, the "subordinate soldiers", is famous at home and abroad, and washes the "decadence of the Eight Banners" for many years, "How long has it not been so shaken!" It can be said that among the banner people, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they all regard Guan Zhuofan as an authentic "idol".
Although I don't know what Manchu and Han policies Guan Zhuofan will implement after coming to power, "No matter how bad it is, it can't hurt Gong Lao Liu, right?" ”
Ordinary banner people have particularly high expectations, and they all say that although Guan Beizi's father has been a five-grade official, his family has long since declined, and he is actually from a bitter background, "I heard that I couldn't eat meat back then." In this case, we must know the "people's suffering", and after Bingguo, we will definitely take care of the poor and helpless banner people.
And Gong Lao Liu, who was born with fine clothes and fine food, where do you know what life our poor family lives? Where will it matter what life we poor people live?
Therefore, in addition to King Gong's two brothers, King Xuan and King Alcohol, the "Gong family" soon found that the other clans were not enough to be ashamed, and it was very good to be neutral.
The most surprising thing for the "Gong Department" was the local governor who originally pinned his greatest hopes.
Almost all the local officials were silent.
The mentality of most local governors: This is "Manchurian housework", which is unnecessary and inconvenient.
This kind of mentality is the same as when there was no one in the local area who spoke for Su Shun during the Qixiang coup.
Again, as long as our interests are not harmed, it would be fine.
So, after Guan Zhuofan came to power, will his local policy be very different from that of King Gong?
I can't see it yet.
Cutting Xiang was made by King Gong; Cutting Huai, the shadow of Zhuo Fan behind it, but after all, King Gong was still on the stage at that time, and King Gong was the host of Cutting Huai. In fact, these two people, no matter who is on stage, have to do these things.
What's more, Guan Zhuofan has already made sufficient compensation to the relevant people.
So, of course, Li Hongzhang will not stand up and speak.
Not to mention Zuo Zongtang, his envoy to the west has just been sponsored by Guan Zhuofan, how can he stand on the opposite side of his "recommended master"?
As for Zeng Guofan, I heard that Zeng Zhongtang's second son is in Guan Beizi's curtain.
A few big guys were silent, and the younger brothers were naturally silent.
Another very important reason for the silence of the local governors was that they judged that the new center's policy towards the Han people was likely to be better than the original.
Xu Geng's entry into the direct military plane is proof of this.
