Guan Zhuofan visited Weng's Mansion and encountered exactly the same as he expected in advance.

Although Weng Tongyi was very moved by Prince Xuan's condescension and dignity, he did not waver in the matter of returning to his hometown and guarding the system.

Guan Zhuofan euphemistically said that the imperial court intends to change the "three-year mourning"; At the same time, the scope of "seizing affection" has been more clearly stipulated, and in addition to the matter of the Golden Revolution, other important matters related to the national fortune will also be included, including "enlightening sacred learning, auxiliary holy virtue".

"The great affairs of the imperial court," Weng Tonggong said, "I don't want to be casual or not, but since I haven't issued an edict yet, I should stick to the old rules." At present, whether it is the etiquette or the rules and regulations of the imperial court, although the envoy of the Hongde Hall is important, it is not in the case of 'seizing love', and he cannot obey the order. ”

After a pause, he said: "This messenger who walked in my Hongde Hall was recommended by the prince, and today's events are worthy of high expectations and ashamed. ”

Guan Zhuofan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shuping, you are serious." I recommend the virtuous for the country, and you act according to etiquette, and you are not involved in selfishness, and you can't talk about the word 'ashamed'. Your grief is urgent, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and I can also understand it. ”

Weng Tongyi was moved in his heart, got up, and said, "Thank you for your success." ”

Guan Zhuofan waved his hand again and said, "Don't worry, I haven't 'fulfilled' you yet." Shuping, you should know that there is such a provision in the "Great Qing Huidian", "Supervising Ding Wei shall not be sent for printing, and the documents during his tenure shall be carried out by one person who will be appointed by the priest and will be allowed to leave his post." That is to say, the envoy must be handed over before he can let go of his hands - this rule is contained in the Huanghuang Guild Code. Fair and reasonable. There's nothing hard about being strong, right? ”

Weng Tongyi was stunned. said: "I'm not a superintendent ......"

Guan Zhuofan interrupted him: "The emperor's classics are related to the prosperity and decline of the country, and the important place is not comparable to the government affairs of a province?" Shuping, don't talk about the governor and the emperor, they are the pawns of the peddlers, entrusted by others, to do something. Let go halfway, and you have to give an explanation! ”

Speaking of "explaining", Guan Zhuofan's tone has become cold.

Weng Tong was silent.

Guan Zhuofan didn't speak.

After a long while, Weng Tongyi spoke: "So...... Where do we go from here? Please instruct the prince. ”

Guan Zhuofan was overjoyed in his heart and said: "Shuping, you also know that the envoy of Hongde Palace, Wu Gong Feng alone, can't bear it no matter what. The military plane has already started to find a new master for the emperor, and this new master has been found. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for you to hand over the envoy of the Hongde Hall again? ”

After a pause, he said: "In addition, Mrs. Weng is not only the high hall of the emperor's master, but also the queen mother of the two palaces intends to be extraordinarily preferential, and——"

Guan Zhuofan accentuated his tone: "I also want to be gracious to my descendants." ”

Weng Tongxi's eyes flashed.

He is not an administrative official, he has no actual power in his hands, and he has no political achievements at all. Therefore, the "big festival" of "filial piety" must not be lost, otherwise, what you say and do in the future will be worthless. It will take three years to return to the hometown and guard the system, but the "recovery" after the fact is certain, as long as the reputation does not fall, the career in the past three years will be wasted, and it will definitely be recovered.

On the contrary, if Qu follows the intention of the top, and "seizes love" in the on-the-job system, it must be ridiculed by Shilin. The signboard is broken, it is difficult to move step by step, in the future, the emperor will be in power, due to the situation, his own emperor, nine times out of ten, will not be reused, even if he is barely raised, most of them will not be able to do it, and if he enters the cabinet to worship the prime minister or something, there is no need to count on it.

Therefore, even if Prince Xuan personally stepped out, he still had no room for accommodation.

However, Guan Zhuofan's question of "handover" stuck him.

Also, Weng Tongyi is indeed a filial son, and between his eldest brother Weng Tongshu, he is really a brother and a brother. This, in addition to his personal character, is also related to his physical condition - Weng Tongyi is a "heavenly eunuch", the love between men and women is very weak, and the affection of his family is very strong.

The funeral ceremony after the deceased mother's death is "extraordinarily preferential", which is enough to comfort the ancestors; On top of the funeral, there will be a lot of scenery, which is very attractive to him. In addition, in order to seek a thicker compassionate code for his mother, he made a slight change in the Ding Wei Shou system, and he would not be ridiculed by Shilin, and maybe it would become a good talk.

As for the "descendants of Jiaen", Prince Xuan is obviously hinting that if he is willing to cooperate, he will have the benefit of his eldest brother Weng Tongshu. Before the eldest brother was sent to the Gansu Army, it was the biggest heart disease of his mother before his death, if he could be released early, even if he suffered a little grievance, it would still be worth it.

In the end, the two agreed that Weng Tonggong would stay in the Hongde Hall for a month, and within this month, he must find a new master for the little emperor. The one-month deadline is up, and no matter what, Weng Tongyi will resign and return to his hometown.

After a lot of hard work, I finally got a month of "grabbing love" from Weng Tonggong, okay, seize this precious buffer period of one month, and "find out the missing person".

At this time, the little emperor spoke himself: There is a Hanlin, named Wang Qingqi, who is good at learning and law books, and I want him to be my master.

Hey? It's weird.

*

Who is Wang Qingqi? How did the little emperor know about this person? How can he be said to be "good at learning and good at law books"?

Check the resume, this Wang Qingqi is a Jinshi of Xianfeng Gengshenke for ten years, after the "court examination", the point is Shu Jishi, three years later, the "dispersal hall", "big exam" excellent results, "stay in the museum" - that is, enter the Hanlin Academy, the title is review, and now it has been promoted to edit.

Since this person is a scholar and the first, he first ordered to be a Shujishi, and "dispersed" and successfully entered the Hanlin Academy, among the people in Gengchenke, he is naturally a leader, and his "good learning" is roughly not bad, and he does write a good word - "good law book" is also worthy of it.

The question is still the same question: how did the little emperor know about him?

The little emperor can't meet foreign officials alone, and the limited number of face-to-face meetings with courtiers is to follow the queen mother of the two palaces, and basically just watch the excitement, and he didn't say anything. Although Hanlin has a noble status in Qinghua, but the review is not from the seven grades, the editing is not the seventh grade, the small minister, the queen mother of the two palaces has never summoned this Wang Qingqi, he has the opportunity to pay homage to the holy face, and it is also the time of the ceremony, with the ups and downs of the class.

On that occasion, it is impossible for the little emperor to notice such a person, who is almost invisible, who is the surname, what is the official position, whether the knowledge is good or not, whether the law book is good or not, not to mention.

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces asked the little emperor, and the little emperor said that he was "looking at the excerpts".

Hey, interesting, interesting.

The little emperor is getting older, and the empress dowager of the two palaces began to train him in basic government affairs, the most important of which is to "read the excerpts" - not to ask him to approve the excerpts, at this stage, the little emperor has neither the power nor the ability - just understand it, including the format of the text, routines, and roughly understand the content correctly.

The review and editing of the Hanlin Academy, although the grade is low, but Hanlin as a "lecturer", like the "speech official", has the right to write and say things, this Wang Qingqi has also been on the excerpt, the little emperor has seen it, it is not unusual, what is strange is that you are a little person, your homework has always been in a hurry, and you can actually see from an excerpt that "good learning, good law books"?

Finding out Wang Qingqi's excerpts, a total of three copies, and carefully reading them one by one, Cixi felt that the deliberations and reasoning were general, clichéd, and there was nothing brilliant about it, so it was no wonder that it did not leave any impression on her. As for the writing, it seems to be good, but she is not good at it, and she does not dare to make a conclusion.

Guan Zhuofan's following, the general opinion is that although Wang Qingqi has no unique opinions, his writing is full of flowers, and he has a bit of a "current text" appearance, is it because of this that the emperor thinks he is "good at learning"?

The queen mother of the two palaces was quite surprised, Ci'an was especially energetic, and her eyes lit up: Ouch, "Shiwen" is Dongdong, I heard that it is...... It's hard, it's hard! Wang Qingqi's excerpt, using the routine of "Shiwen" to write, this layer, even his biological mother can't see it, but the little emperor himself has some understanding, this ...... But it's a great benefit!
