"E-Niang can train people here," Emperor Tongzhi complimented, "The Internal Affairs Office naturally sent it over." （”

"The emperor's mouth is like being smeared with honey, listen," the Empress Dowager Ci'an said with a smile, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the room all pouted and smiled, Ci'an looked at Mei Xin, and Mei Xin took the eunuchs and palace maids out, leaving only the mother and son, Ci'an said, "I heard about your second aunt's family, the queen mother, I must be uncomfortable." ”

"Who says it's not," said Emperor Tongzhi, "these days, it's hard to have a smiling face." ”

"That's it, I heard," Empress Dowager Ci'an paused, "Feng Xianjun is also involved?" ”

Emperor Tongzhi's face stiffened, "There is such a thing, but I don't know exactly how," the emperor flickered, sloppy, "Horizontal and vertical is a matter of the outside, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"I see that Wu Yundi is not having a good time this day, hasn't the emperor been following him to learn to ride and shoot? It's better to let him into the garden," the Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "First, let's relax, and second, don't pay too much attention to the things outside, don't you say, Emperor?" ”

"That's the reason," Emperor Tongzhi was just faint before, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, and his face showed a look of joy, "E-Niang is right, I will let the emperor E-niang give an order to go at noon, no, I will go." ()”

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what is in a hurry, I can wait until I have a meal." ……

Mei Xin commanded a few eunuchs to carry the food box in, and Mu Yang'a, Ci'an, and Emperor Tongzhi were already talking and laughing, but Mei Xin didn't go in, and looked deeply at the little palace maid who was sprinkling and sweeping, and walked over, and the little palace maid saw Mei Xin and hurriedly saluted, "What's your name?" ”

The little palace maid raised her head and glanced at Mei Xin, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Aunt Mei Xin, my name is Qiu Lian." ”……

On the second day, the attitude of the Gong Party was clearly expressed, and the snowflake-like impeachment folds were piled up all over the internal affairs office, and even the day before, Mu Yang'a said a few jokes to amuse the emperor, and they were all impeached as "imperial failures", and many people also targeted Li Hongzhang, who was far away in Shanghai, and there was a great tendency that the governors of the two places would be exempted. The Queen Mother smiled again when she saw these things, "Call it up." ”

The military planes arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, and as soon as the scene opened, the Queen Mother said: "Baojun's errand should continue to be done, the household department can't do without him." ”

Everyone was a little puzzled, and the Queen Mother said: "But Mu Yang'a should also be placed, you can find me a position in Shangshu, naturally, and it must be adapted to what he is good at, people like him, it is naturally impossible to go to the Hanlin Zhan Mansion, it is not possible to engage in learning, and there is no place for him there." ”

"The Queen Mother, what does the Military Aircraft Department mean," Prince Gong was a little confused by the Queen Mother's decisive tone, and when he heard the Queen Mother's conditions, he hurriedly said, "It's better to join the military plane." ”

"It's not appropriate," the queen mother behind the bead curtain shook her head slightly, "He is just a governor, how can he enter the direct military aircraft, not to mention that you have been trained for a long time, just say that this Cao Yuying is good, in the past, he was in the center for a long time when he was the first emperor, and he was familiar with government affairs, so many years before he could enter the direct military aircraft, even if he had great achievements, he could not enter the direct military aircraft, regarded as a slaughter, the military aircraft department is the center of a country, and it is not an old man who seeks the country, and people with strong wills cannot do it." ”

Prince Gong and others were worried, so how to settle it? Could it be that he really let Wenxiang's official book out? It is better to let the household department Shangshu out, for a while the hall was silent, Li Hongzao was originally very happy to Mu Yang'a to enter the cabinet and divide the authority of Prince Gong, so it is good, but he has not yet spoken to echo, he has been stopped by the Queen Mother, and he was dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly thought that it might be Wenxiang's official Shangshu to take it, and his face couldn't help but smile, only Jia Frame half-closed his eyes, and did not speak, lying on the ground motionless, "What's wrong?" No way? ”

Wen Xiang stubbornly said, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the six Shangshu are all full, and I am afraid that there will be no selection here." ”

"Then only the palace itself can figure out a way, all the ministers, it is better to listen to me," the queen mother prepared for a long time and spoke at length, "If the level is promoted today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the exchanges with foreign countries are becoming more and more frequent, the affairs of the country and the dynasty are complicated and varied, and the military aircraft department has you to operate, the palace is naturally relieved, but the six departments are no longer enough, and the old Ministry of Officials and Households has added two divisions, which is also busy, so the palace decided to set up a new one." The king of the council, the six Shangshu naturally can't be moved lightly, so set up a new one to settle Muyanga! ”

On the fourth day of the fourth month of April in the fifth year of Tongzhi, the emperor's edict was issued to the world, and the new Ministry of Communications was established, ranking at the end of the ministries, and was in charge of the Taifu Temple, and Mu Yang'a, the governor of Tianjin, was the first Minister of Communications.
