This is a justifiable struggle for the power of the Ministry of War, but the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that Yinggui was good, and nodded, "What you said makes sense," and when she heard him say, "I'm afraid of an incident," and asked, "Oh, what will happen?" ”

"Soldiers must be called upon by themselves, they will be self-chosen, their training and command will be autonomous, and their food and salaries will be self-raised. Each battalion is subordinate to only one battalion officer, and each army is subordinate to only one commander, and the battalion and army are independent of each other and do not subordinate to each other, and they are only subordinate to the regimental training ambassador, and the military department has no authority to govern. Yinggui said, "This is the disadvantage of the regimental training, but now the Fengtai battalion does not have the jurisdiction of the military department, but this military aircraft department, it seems that there is nothing to say, Weichen is brave, may I ask, where is the power of the commander?" ”

The Queen Mother almost blurted out, "Naturally, it's here." Then he kept his mouth shut, "Naturally, it's with the emperor." ”

Ying Gui stopped talking, just silent, the Queen Mother seemed to think of something, and seemed to be a little worried, nodding, "I know what you mean, you have to give the emperor a fold in the air, use the secret fold." ”

"Huh." Ying Gui responded, "In addition, Mobei Mongolia has sent the post of commander and chief soldier, etc., this military expenditure is very large, and the household department says that there is no silver." ”

The Queen Mother sweats, is this the idea to hit the inner library? "Hey, this landlord's family has no surplus grain, and there is not much silver in the inner library, you tell Baojun, don't always look at this bit of silver in the inner library, the emperor has a lot of use in keeping it, besides, now I am not in charge, I can't be the master." The Queen Mother snorted, "You just have to fight in the ring with the Military Aircraft Department." ”

Yinggui just said, "But at the end of this year, preparing for the vassal states to come to the DPRK to show their military might, this is a military parade, and next year's big military training, this is a lot of expenses......"

"By next year, the tax money will come up, what are you afraid of, the military parade at the end of the year, the large-scale ones will be stopped first, and you will have to show some mounted archery and artillery, it won't cost much, and the rest," the Queen Mother waved her hands around, as if she wanted to push Yinggui out of the court, "You ask the king yourself, no, Prince Gong is." ”

Three days ago, Prince Gong repeatedly resigned, and finally took off the title of the king of the council, the emperor was not stingy, and added Princess Rongshou Shuanggulun Princess Yulu to show grace, among the nine ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, three newly, Shen Guifen was the central leader of the distribution of affairs, Zeng Guofan was unknown, just following the routine of doing things, only Cezanne was the most prominent, the house was full of traffic, people came and went, endlessly, and recently it can be said that it is red and purple.

Ying Gui retreated, and Anqian was asking the Queen Mother what clothes to bring when she went out, "Bring a set of men's clothes," the Queen Mother said quietly.

Anqian was a little worried, "This slipped out again, it's not appropriate, this time the Queen Mother is traveling alone, for fear of revealing traces." ”

"If you don't slip out, don't worry," the Queen Mother smiled, "just go to the Zhuangzi and have a look, wearing men's clothes, it's more convenient to behave." ”

Ancy relieved herself, turned to leave, and after a while, she came in again, and said to the Queen Mother, who was humming a little tune and laughing happily on the pit, "Master Cézanne is here." ”

"Why is he here?" The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, "Oh, I'm confused, he is Cheng'en Gong, naturally he can enter the palace, call in." ”

Dressed in a crane mending suit and wearing a ruby and gray-haired Cézanne, he walked in in high spirits, crossed his hands, covered the sleeves of his horse's hooves, and bowed on his knees.

"Get up, Cheng'en Gong," the Queen Mother nodded, "Anqian look at the seat, you are the queen's grandfather and the father of Concubine Xun, and you are still a generation higher than me, so you don't need to make a big salute like this." ”

"The slave's Cheng Engong or the queen mother's sympathetic minister, this gave the slave a grace, this is not to be forgotten, how can you be arrogant and rude in front of the queen mother?" Cézanne confessed his sins and sat down respectfully and replied.

"In the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne, you were the foreman of the military aircraft," the queen mother smiled, "In terms of seniority, I'm afraid that no one can compare with you, it's rare that you are so old and strong, and you look very good, the emperor wants you to work harder, and then bring young people with you to the military aircraft, if you are tired, then I don't dare to say it." ”

"What the Queen Mother said," Cezanne heard this sentence with the young man, his face became more and more red, and he was humble, "The slave was dismissed from his official position in the old year because of the failure to counterbalance the rebellion, and the Queen Mother and the emperor remembered the slave, so they gave the slave a chance, and they didn't dare to be tired." ”

"This is the best," the Queen Mother instructed Tang Wufu, "The turtle plate antlers Liaodong ginseng that Zuo Zongtang was given a few days ago, and I will also give some to Cheng'en Gong, so that he can make up for his body." ”

Cezanne was grateful again, and the Queen Mother said, "This is a trivial matter, have you entered the palace and met the queen's concubine?" ”

"I haven't met the Queen Mother, and I don't dare to talk about personal affairs first."

"Your public heart is visible," the Queen Mother said with a smile, and there seemed to be something else in her words, "You are an old minister, well-informed, in this military aircraft department, are your juniors, you elders, in addition to mentioning the emperor, you also have to take care of the military aircraft department, the so-called family has an elder, if there is a treasure."
