31. Thrush depth (4)

"This is not appropriate," the Queen Mother simply rejected Baojun's proposal, of course, the reason must be high-sounding, "The emperor is about to be pro-government, and learning must be strengthened, no matter what, there must be someone, the master in the Hongde Palace, Wuren is too old, I heard that these days have been in poor health, Xu Tong's lectures are too boring, only Weng Tongyi can still be used, but unfortunately Ding Wei went home to guard the system, the emperor's master is so few, Master Li is the only one who can be of great use, and I am counting on him to continue to teach the emperor homework, This is convenient to go to Tianjin, in the end it is also necessary to do things, if there is a little thing that is not appropriate to delay there, wouldn't it delay the emperor's homework? Besides, the affairs of foreigners, compared with the affairs of the government, are also trivial matters in the end, so it is inevitable that the middle hall of the dignified military aircraft department will serve as the minister of the imperial mission."

Prince Gong and others secretly slandered, just said that it is good to die a foreigner, and you said it, why in the blink of an eye, this time it is said that the affairs of foreigners are not important? "But now that the emperor has just gotten married, everyone in the court and the court will not be able to move away for a while, and they can't find anyone else."

Who doesn't know what you guys think? The Queen Mother sneered slightly, Prince Gong's meaning, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor was about to be pro-government, he sent out the thorn in the military aircraft department, in this way, the emperor is in charge of the government, the queen mother is withdrawn, and the foreign dynasty is at least the matter of the military aircraft department, so there is no Li Hongzao and others to speak, there is no Li Hongzao to speak, and it is not easy to fool the emperor a few times? Besides, according to Li Hongzao's urine, he didn't know that when he went to Tianjin, the first thing he would do was to put the arrogant score of the Qing and noble ministers of the Heavenly Dynasty, let alone solve the problem when the time came, and not to provoke the foreigners, so that he could be called a ghost......

Besides, will Li Hongzao do this honestly? You know, he is the most unsightly foreigner, if it is really people's churches or something. Even if he didn't jump up and burn down the church himself, he would turn a blind eye to the excesses of the people of Tianjin, who were already full of righteous indignation.

If there is a mess in the future, Li Hongzao will not be able to escape the blame, at least this minister of military aircraft will not be able to save it, so the current situation ......

Why Li Hongzao didn't object, it was because he knew. Don't fight for a while, go to Tianjin to do it yourself. It doesn't matter, the emperor still has to rely on himself as a master, even if the emperor forgets the relationship between teachers and students, as long as he is a qualified emperor, he will not allow only one person to exist in the court, and only one voice exists.

Anyway, both sides think that Tianjin's affairs are messed up and it's fine.

The old god of the Queen Mother is here, "Then." Thinking about it slightly, who should handle this matter in the end?

Muyana? This is a suitable candidate, Tianjin was founded by him himself, he is familiar with the world, and he has been friendly with other countries since Ningbo, it must be easy to deal with these things. But he is the secretary of the Ministry of Communications, and when he takes care of this matter, it seems that he is a little nosy and careless, and if he goes, the local officials in Tianjin will inevitably have their minds floating, is it that Mu Yang'a, the old boss, is going to return to Tianjin? Is Chonghou about to lose ground? Otherwise, how could I send him out? Although he is very unreverent, he must also maintain his dignity as a governor in the locality, otherwise how to govern the locality.

Do you want to send a pro-noble minister? The noble ministers are noble and decent, there may be few errand boys, and those who can be on errands are not qualified enough, so I will go to Tianjin this time. It is not to enjoy happiness, but to carefully find out the ins and outs of the return visit and to make a decision on the negotiation with France, not to pretend, and the person who goes there must be assertive, prestige, and talent.

Such a person can only be the one from Jinling, "Let Zeng Guofan go, he is the head of the governor, and he is talented, I heard that he went north?" ”

Wen Xiang thought for a while, "Yes, this year is the ninth year of Tongzhi, Zeng Guofan is going to Beijing to report on his work, and he is going north along the sea route, and he is also going to Tianjin." ”

"In this way, it is best to let him do this before entering Beijing, so as not to waste the effort of others," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and clapped the board, "The person who sent the decree is waiting for him in Tianjin, presumably it will not be long before Zeng Guofan can receive this errand." ”

Prince Gong and others returned in vain, so they had to retreat, Li Hongzao didn't expect that he didn't have the opportunity to do this thing, so he had to kowtow and kneel out, the queen mother gave herself a cheer in her heart, and once again defeated the calculations of these outsiders, very proud, and when the emperor couldn't wait to go, the queen mother summoned Gao Xinkui and Wang Kaiyun, talking about the clarification in the newspaper, Gao Xinkui was okay, just ready to send the newspaper related matters, Wang Kaiyun thought slightly, frowned at the queen mother and said, "Queen Mother, Something is wrong. ”

The Queen Mother's heart suddenly thumped, "What's wrong?" ”

"Tianjin is a treaty port, just since the first year of Tongzhi, how many foreigners have lived in Tianjin, how many people know the habits of foreigners, and the people in the western inland land do not know the affairs of foreigners, but the people of Tianjin, the behavior of foreigners is not clear?"

The Queen Mother pricked up her ears and listened, "There must be someone fanning the flames and making waves, otherwise why would there be such a turmoil?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "In your opinion, can this Zeng Guofan be disposed of?" ”

"This matter is still simple now," Wang Kaiyun said, "after all, the foreigners have not died, but if they are dead, according to the unreasonable nature of the foreigners, they will not give up, if it is a small matter to pay some silver, if it is a trivial matter, if there is a war again because of such a trivial matter, will it not be because of a small loss, and this prosperous situation will be ruined?" ”

"When the time comes, Niang Niang thinks that this matter in Tianjin, the people who go to cook will have any good fruits to eat? In case it affects the central ......," Wang Kaiyun kept silent.

"Please ask Father-in-law Deling to ask about the movement of Tianjin." Gao Xinkui hurriedly said.

"It's called Deling." The Queen Mother felt a little angry in her heart, although she didn't give much money to the Xuanli Office, why didn't the Xuanli Office report these major events recently? It's really a dereliction of duty, the emperor is embarrassed to ask about the sudden attack, presumably the Xuanli Office doesn't know the inside story, but the matter in Tianjin, how can there be no news?

De Ling came to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, kowtowed, calmly listened to the Queen Mother's questions, and did not panic, and took out a booklet from the sleeve of the red robe, "Please take a look, this is the news that the slaves have found in Tianjin in the past few days."
