14. Occasional Horns (3)

The emperor couldn't help but shake his head, Wang Qingqi frowned on the side, the emperor saw Wang Qingqi frowning, and couldn't help laughing: "He is such a character, don't care, I grew up with him, it's a rare affection, I don't want to criticize him." ”

"Yes," Wang Qingqi replied, "But the king of Chengjun also wants to decide his identity, he is the emperor's attendant, and he is the concubine of the king of Yizheng, it is really not good." ”

"His father can't take care of it, I can still take care of it." Emperor Tongzhi sighed, "Don't talk about him, this fold of yours," the emperor pointed to Wang Qingqi, "but you have to write it carefully." ”

"Huh," Wang Qingqi smiled and bowed and retreated, the emperor put his hands behind his back and watched Wang Qingqi retreat with a smile, the eunuch was not in front of him, there was a moment of silence in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor was quiet for a while, and Chen Shengwen walked in and said, "Long live Lord, Master Li is here." ”

The Emperor put away his smile and nodded faintly, "Please come in." ”

Li Hongzao entered the warm pavilion and paid homage, and the emperor held his hands weakly, "Master Li, please get up, is there anything going on today?" ”

"I heard that Master Xu said something in front of the emperor, but he was read back by the king's attendant, sentence by sentence," Li Hongzao's face was very serious, "The minister thinks that the emperor is noble, and it is not easy for people to humiliate him. ”

"Master Li is too worried, you said that Wang Shi is not right, but I think he is extremely upright, Master Xu is pedantic, I don't want to be harsh on him, he has intensified, Master Li I will tell you the truth, "Among these masters in Hongde Palace, only Emperor Li Hongzao is the closest," I originally wanted Master Xu to reason with the Russians, but Wang Shiyu admonished me to pay attention to the emperor's system. I just said that, it can be seen that although he has a different opinion from Master Xu, he also pays attention to respecting the teacher. When the emperor said this, Li Hongzao couldn't do it, so he had to sigh, and the emperor smiled. changed the topic, "I want to add people to the military aircraft, Master Li, you are an old minister, and there are more knowledgeable people, who do you think is more suitable?" ”

"The king of parliament seems to be noncommittal......"

"Then he didn't mean to say that he didn't want to, he just said that it was difficult to find a suitable person," the emperor smiled, "It's difficult, Master Li." Do you also say such prevarication to me? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, it's just that it's not the minister's turn to speak," Master Li said, after today's encounter, Li Hongzao already knew that Xu Tong's status in the emperor's heart must be impossible to enter the direct military plane. Weng Tongyi had just come back from Ding Wei, and he didn't have any serious errands. It is even more impossible to let him enter the military plane, and besides, Prince Gong will definitely not allow a figure of the leader of the clear stream to enter the military plane to muddy the waters.

The rest of the people are very few, in terms of seniority and talent. I'm afraid it's not much, it's just a few of them, Li Hongzao naturally didn't bother to take this recommended lottery, he was originally going to be sloppy about it, but suddenly he thought of something. The heart was blessed, and then said: "The emperor asked, and the minister also knew everything, and said everything. The minister thinks that there is an excellent candidate who is up to the task. ”

"Oh," the Emperor raised an eyebrow, "Master Li, come on." ”……

"Hooray, what do you mean?" Baojun approached Prince Gong, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, smoking a hookah silently, "Are you going to arrange your own people at the military plane?" ”

"Yes," Prince Gong nodded, put down the hookah, he also rarely smoked a few hookahs, but when he was bored, "The meaning of our emperor is really difficult to understand, and today he praised me again, and didn't let me go to the position of the king of Yizheng, but in a blink of an eye, someone was going to be arranged." ”

"It's not simple, it's just to make it difficult for you to speak, don't you do the same, Lord." Bao Jun shook his head, "Long live Lord has grown up, and his thoughts have increased, but he is exactly the same as the Queen Mother." ”

Wen Xiang leaned on the kang and touched his whip, "This addition is certain, but who does the emperor choose?" ”

"Heng Zhu is not the one who chose us," Bao Jun shook his head, "Originally, this Shen Xiaoshan had a great chance, the Queen Mother no longer hung the curtains, and he did very well in Shanghai, he must be able to enter the emperor's eyes, but I am afraid," Bao Jun sighed, "The emperor will do the opposite." ”

"No matter what, let's ask Xiaoshan to enter Beijing first," Zhu Xueqin said to Prince Gong, "If there is any opportunity, it is convenient to meet in court." ”

Prince Gong nodded, and was quite worried, "If the emperor asks the Hongde Hall and the gang to enter the military plane, what should this be?" "A Li Hongzao already has a headache, if you add Xu Tong and others, don't live!

And Li Hongzao is a square person, although he despises foreign affairs, in the end he also knows the severity, and the country's beneficial things will not be easily blocked, replaced by Xu Tong, but not so easy to speak, in the past, his house was in Dongjiaomin Lane, quite close to the embassies of various countries, he actually posted at the door of the house "Wangyang sighs, and ghosts are neighbors" couplet to satirize foreigners, almost caused a great diplomatic turmoil, so unscrupulous attack on foreign affairs, it is really terrible.

"No," Zhu Xueqin said with a smile, he seemed to rarely speak in the military aircraft department, and he didn't give much advice, just silently doing his own errands, very pragmatic, but every word must be true, "The emperor is a real Western-style faction, and the prince hasn't seen this yet?" If it weren't for the emperor's strong push, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway would not have been repaired well in the Year of the Monkey. ”

Prince Gong nodded, listening to Zhu Xueqin continue, "It is the emperor's duty to respect the teacher, and the rest will not think about it much, the emperor is not so much taught by the masters of the Hongde Palace, but rather taught by the queen mother, don't worry that the emperor will indulge Xu Tong and others, the emperor will only give them the honor of a scholar at most, and allow them to dictate to the government and politics, and will never let them mess up the affairs of foreign affairs, the emperor still has this point," Zhu Xueqin handed over an excerpt, "This is the excerpt of Wang Qingqi, you said, Could it be that there is no emperor here? ”

Prince Gong spread out Wang Qingqi's fold, read it carefully, and after reading it, his eyebrows jumped, and Bao Jun looked inexplicable, "What does this fold say?" Rajah. ”

Prince Gong sighed, "I saw what the emperor meant, do you still want to use force against the Russians to recapture Kokand?" ”

"The emperor attaches great importance to foreign affairs, and this is not wrong," Prince Gong shook his head and said with a dumb smile: "It's just that everyone has their own ideas, and they also have their own opinions, and their own focus on governance. ”

"Same but not in harmony?" (To be continued.) )
