0251 Young Master's Advice
It's just to send a few international students, as for it?
If it is in modern times, not to mention a few international students sent by the government, it is a self-financed international student who goes to Europe and the United States every year, not to mention millions of people?
The Empress Dowager Cixi frowned slightly, originally she planned to use the wedding banquet to let the matter of sending students to stay abroad be done smoothly first, and she couldn't delay the affairs of the entire court here because of the fierce fighting between the two sides, right?
The key is that Zeng Guofan's excerpt still has weight in this Qing Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Cixi felt a little sorry for taking Zeng Guofan from the governor of Zhili to the Nanyang Yamen because of the Tianjin teaching case.
Young Master Meng looks at the future, and the Empress Dowager Cixi looks at the present, and looks at the balance of the relationship!
This is the difference between Young Master Meng and Empress Dowager Cixi in their treatment of affairs.
After thinking about it for a while, Young Master Meng mustered up his courage and whispered to the Empress Dowager Cixi: "Lafayette, I have a way to resolve the dispute!" ”
Wei Jiege looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise, you little kid, this is a big event in the court, are you dying? Do you have a way?
The Empress Dowager Cixi also frowned slightly, not knowing what Xuan Yuemeng was going to say, but thinking that Xuan Yuemeng and Li Hongzao were disciples, and they also had a close relationship with Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's faction, and they were also Zeng Guofan's grandson-in-law, he came to speak, at least it would not cause any trouble, so he nodded, and also wanted to let a child stir up the situation and see what the effect was.
The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an just thought it was funny, and the Empress Dowager Cixi saw that the Empress Dowager Ci'an agreed, so she nodded to Yuemeng, "Go and talk about it!" ”
Emperor Tongzhi almost didn't die of anger, if he wanted to speak, it should be him, the real emperor, who spoke, what kind of place is this, most of the high-ranking officials of the Great Qing Kingdom are here, which is equivalent to being above the court!
Is it a one-year-old's turn to speak?
Young Master Meng quickly walked out of the curtain and said loudly: "Li Zhongtang, Lord Xu, the two adults, please sit down and rest for a while, the kid has a few words to say, I hope to find a proper way, if you think it's not feasible, just treat the kid as if he didn't say anything, I'm just here to have fun for everyone, haha." ”
The ministers couldn't help laughing, and they all looked down, only to see the chubby young master, with beautiful eyebrows, cute and cute.
These ministers are all top-notch characters, you are good, you haven't said anything yet, first push the responsibility cleanly, however, seeing that Young Master Meng is respectful, plus he is a child, everyone will not feel so uncomfortable, yes, no one will stop Xuan Yuemeng.
At this time, it shows the age advantage of Young Master Meng, if Young Master Meng is a teenager and has no strong identity to support, on such an occasion, let alone talking, it is a fart, it is estimated that he will be pulled out and beaten.
"Just now, Lord Xu's words and Li Zhongtang's words are very reasonable, Lord Xu's concerns are for the sake of the imperial court, which is understandable, this impact, spending money, must be taken into account!" Young Master Meng smiled and said aloud: "Li Zhongtang believes that it is necessary to speed up the learning of advanced Western skills and enrich the science and technology of our Great Qing Kingdom, which is even more far-sighted and represents the general trend of the future!" As the saying goes, change is passable, and if you pass for a long time, it will be the avenue! ”
All the ministers and the Great Khan are very admiring the eloquence of Young Master Meng, Nima, you haven't said bullshit yet, first hold both sides high, what are you going to come up with?
In addition to admiration, everyone was completely confused, and secretly said that if he became an official in the future, at this level, he could already come to a prefect or something to sit, and there would never be any big problems.
As an official, the first thing you learn is to stir up, and Young Master Meng is engaged in sales promotion in modern times, isn't it just mixing all day long.
The Empress Dowager Ci'an held back a smile and covered her cherry mouth with a champa, but the Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes lit up! Poker face.
Concubine Lihuang looked at the little person, and was full of spirit in front of the ministers, thinking of the **** using something against her lower abdomen, her face was red and her heart was beating for no reason, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Wei Jiegege only felt that Yue Meng was not a child, at least, in terms of mature thinking, he was already very powerful, thinking of Yue Meng's love letter to herself, she wanted to know what was written in it, but unfortunately, I don't know if the love letter was torn up by the emperor's mother.
Emperor Tongzhi's two eyes breathed fire, special mother, I have never been so graceful in the imperial court, you little kid, it's too much!
Young Master Meng continued: "Since I am afraid of too much influence, I will use a low-level yamen to take the lead in this matter, in my opinion, Tianjin Customs Road can be familiar, not only familiar with the relationship with foreigners, easy to communicate, but also convenient for future contact, foreign students, will not be related to Tianjin Customs Road all day long, right?" ”
Young Master Meng said, glanced at Xu Tong and Li Hongzao, Li Hongzao is still a cultivator, Xu Tong nodded slightly, seems to agree with Young Master Meng's idea, if it is to let the Prime Minister Yamen take the lead, it will indeed be effective, if it is replaced by a yamen like Tianjin Customs Road, it will basically have no impact, in fact, even if it is to let the Zhili Yamen do it, Xu Tong also feels that it is acceptable, not to mention the Yamen under the Zhili Yamen, it will have no influence.
Young Master Meng saw that no one objected, especially Xu Tong's attitude, which made Young Master Meng feel a lot more confident in his heart, and continued to say calmly: "As for the expenses, there are only dozens of students, and the business house I opened happens to send some people out to stay abroad, so let's do it, no matter how many people Master Li sends, I will contract the cost!" ”
The ministers made a soft noise, and Young Master Meng only said a few words, and then he resolved the matter that had been arguing for so many days.
Young Master Meng was also proud, but he didn't dare to show it, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he looked at everyone, "What I said is not good, if I say it is wrong, please adults, princes, you must bear with me, I am done." ”
Young Master Meng said secretly, tens of thousands of taels, not enough for Lao Tzu's cannon money for one night, and his heart was happy, indicating that he was trying his best to suppress his smile and returned to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Li Lianying glanced at Young Master Meng, her heart was messy, and she didn't know why this villain could be so powerful? If it is pure climbing, if Young Master Meng's wish is only to study and want to go further in his career, Li Lianying is not in a hurry at all, after all, Young Master Meng is still too young, but if Young Master Meng stretches his hand to affect the government, Li Lianying will not dare, not to mention that he is just a eunuch, even the prince, the iron hat, and he can't withstand this matter.
Li Lianying peeked at the Empress Dowager Cixi's expression, but the Empress Dowager still didn't say anything.
When Young Master Meng spoke in front of the ministers just now, there was no reason for him to be nervous, at this time Young Master Meng came down, she just wanted to see if Young Master Meng was sweating, the strange thing is that Young Master Meng did not sweat, but it was the palm of Meng Jiegege, sweaty.
The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Young Master Meng silently, and did not give Young Master Meng the kind of praise that he expected.
The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and then said to the outside of the curtain: "Yue Meng's words, in advance, the mourning family did not know, children's words, sometimes although it is simpler, it is not a different way to look at affairs, what do you think?" ”
Li Hongzhang saw that Yue Meng was willing to contract all the study abroad funds, so he naturally gave himself a big face, and his credit for Yue Meng's entry into the palace was actually not less than Li Hongzao's! If it weren't for his prominent role in the negotiation of the treaty with Japan, how could the imperial court summon Yue Meng to Beijing, and how could the empress dowager of the two palaces see Yue Meng?
Li Hongzhang immediately said loudly: "Weichen has no objection, I think this is a good way to resolve the dispute." ”
Xu Tong gently pulled Li Hongzao's sleeve, Li Hongzao glanced at Xu Tong, his heart was racing, secretly thinking about the stakes, Li Hongzao understood that it was impossible to stop the Westernists from sending students abroad! Being able to let Tianjin Customs Dao take the lead is indeed not to have any impact on students from all over the world, which is completely different from the direct dispatch of people by the imperial court, Li Hongzao is also shocked in his heart, feeling that he has accepted Yuemeng's disciple, I don't know if it is right or wrong, such a young child, can already participate in such a big national politics, it is indeed worrying!
Li Hongzao nodded slightly at Xu Tong.
Xu Tong had no choice but to say: "This method is feasible, it seems simple, but it is very sophisticated." Naturally, there is no problem with Tianjin Customs, and it is funded by the private sector, which has nothing to do with the imperial court, which is feasible! ”
Xu Tong is rare to praise people, but the Empress Dowager Cixi is not very comfortable in her heart, let the low-level yamen take the lead, with the brains of the Empress Dowager Cixi, naturally come up with it, however, the state sent someone to stay abroad, but it was donated by a child, tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a big deal, however, after this thing spreads, this Xuan Yuemeng's fame can be made big all of a sudden!
Empress Dowager Cixi's political vigilance is more than everyone else, even if Xuan Yuemeng is such a young child, she also maintains a high degree of vigilance, originally, let Xuan Yuemeng enter the palace for a period of time, this is just a kind of grace, a kind of boasting of the ministers, pay attention to talents, and envelop Xuan Yuemeng, a means that may become a talent in the future, as for the Empress Dowager Cixi, she will be optimistic about how Xuan Yuemeng will be in the future, it must be nonsense, but just Chong Xuan Yuemeng's political skills that he showed so suddenly just now, It made the Empress Dowager Cixi very uncomfortable, and felt that Yuemeng was by no means a kitten, and she might even become a tiger in the future!
Not only are you familiar with foreign affairs, you have a foreign identity, but if you can have strong reinforcements such as Li Hongzao and Li Hongzhang in the imperial court, what a terrible thing it is to develop in the future?
What the Empress Dowager Cixi is most afraid of is that someone will break her and restrain each other from the balance of the government and government! (To be continued.) )
