42. Tongwen Museum Affairs (3)

The emperor was a little unhappy in his heart, Prince Gong's move did not have his own face, after all, Wu Ren was his own master, although the emperor himself did not see much respect for the master, but "to fight the dog still need face", in the end he didn't want people to humiliate him, this matter existed in his heart, the emperor did not speak on this matter, nodded, answered, and saw that the queen mother was in a good mood, "Huang Eniang, I heard that the conference will be in a few days?" ”

"Chen Fuen went to prepare, it should be about the same, what," the Queen Mother didn't know Emperor Tongzhi's thoughts, "Want to go out and make trouble?" ”

"Isn't that a panic in the garden?" Emperor Tongzhi grinned and said, "Wu Yundi doesn't come to the garden these days, and it's not interesting to ride a horse, he talks all day about how powerful the musket is and how powerful the artillery is, but his son hasn't seen half a bullet, it's really itchy, so isn't this just to ask the emperor's mother," Emperor Tongzhi said pitifully, "Can you go and take a look?" ”

"This is also ordinary, but I am afraid that the imperial historians will talk too much, but," the queen mother happened to have dinner with the emperor at this time, and ordered the emperor with silver chopsticks, "This time the master who just sent you down, I am afraid that the imperial historians can also stop for a while, and wait until Chen Fuen's next meeting, I won't speak, you yourself quietly talk to him, saying that let him go to the fold, and ask the emperor and the queen mother to drive the Fengtai camp and go to watch the exercise." ()”

"Is this true?" The emperor was overjoyed, "What the emperor said is true?" ”

"How can your emperor deceive people," the Queen Mother smiled, "I don't care about these rules the most, it's just that people's words are terrible, people live in the world, they always have to take care of other people's emperors, this section can't be forgotten, so although everything can't be too outstanding, but if the teacher is famous, then it will naturally be all right." The Queen Mother blinked, "Eat a trench and grow wise, we can no longer do it like the Martyrs' Shrine, if we go out of the palace, we will naturally have a reasonable basis." ”

"Emperor Eniang Shengming," the emperor gently patted the queen mother's ass.

"Don't be too complacent," the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled maliciously, "I heard that you haven't made much progress in your homework," the emperor's face froze suddenly, and the Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed, "Although you don't need to be admitted to the Jinshi to be a Hanlin as a monarch, you don't have to work so hard, but you can't just study in such a daze, right?" Those masters don't dare to teach you a lesson, because you are the king, so they don't dare. ”

"Erchen also knows a lot of words!" Emperor Tongzhi whispered.

"Isn't it the dictionaries' credit that you know words? Emperor," the Queen Mother said, "For the monarch is not to say that you want to learn to be rich and rich, full of economy, but this heart and mind are indispensable, these three can be learned from the book, naturally your masters do not have the eyes, but the knowledge is first-class, I want you to take its essence and discard its dross, don't be confused in the south study," the Queen Mother's voice became serious, the emperor put down his chopsticks, lowered his hand and listened, "This country will always be handed over to you in the future, in a few years, you should also be pro-government, and when the time comes, you can't tell right from wrong, How can this be? ”

"The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of the emperor's mother." Emperor Tongzhi stood up and hurriedly said.

"You sit down, this thing to play, the emperor has never forbade you, you have a lot of homework, and you have to accompany the mother to listen to the government, this day is originally tight, if you don't let you play, it will be too harsh, you like horseback riding, like guns, this is a good thing," the queen mother encouraged the Tongzhi Emperor again, "Tang Dynasty Song Zu, Kangxi Ye Qianlong, are all the sons of heaven immediately, you have the mind to promote force, this China will no longer let people bully, but the martial arts of civil governance can not be wasted, so the emperor, you must pay attention to study." ”

"Yes, Erchen knows."

"That's excellent," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, and said narrowly, "Then wait until the meeting, memorize the chapter of "Mencius" to see King Liang Hui, and then tell Huang Eniang what it means, and Huang Eniang will take you out of the garden, if you can't memorize it, hum, then you don't have to go." ”

He was overwhelmed by the Queen Mother and Prince Gong's joint efforts, and was embarrassed. Weng Tongyi, who was also the emperor's teacher, recorded in his diary the embarrassment and embarrassment of Wuren, and tried to record a few:

12 September: Resignation was not approved;

14th: Wo Ren still did not approve his resignation, he talked with Prince Gong a few words, and almost got up;

15th: Unable to resign, he had to be ordered to come out, when old tears flowed, which made Tongzhi stunned for a long time;

19th: Wu Ren got on the horse and fell dizzy, and was able to go home by sitting in a sedan chair.

October 8: Weng Tong went to see him "haggard in color and little in food";

October 12: The Empress Dowager Cixi ordered "a month of vacation to recuperate with peace of mind", but still did not approve the resignation;

October 16: The Empress Dowager Cixi asked for another vacancy, and the Empress Dowager Cixi "allowed all the envoys to be opened, and still walked in the Hongde Hall as a scholar."

Weng Tongyi finally said in his diary that when he heard the news, he "celebrated it with his forehead", and finally breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
