Chapter 552: Arbitrariness
Cixi returned to Xinuan Pavilion, and Ci'an, Yixin, Wenxiang and others who were waiting in the east rushed over.
After a few clouds and rains between Cixi and Guo Ye, she was in a comfortable mood, her eyebrows stretched, and she said with a smile: "Sister, you guys do a while, I'll go change my clothes and talk again." ”
Cixi walked to the back, and the palace maid who followed her to the back, Cixi said lightly: "You can wait here, don't come over, the mourning family will change their clothes by themselves!" ”
The palace maids retreated far aside, and Cixi removed the clothes one by one, revealing snow-white and tender skin, only to see that there were still traces of Guo Ye's kiss on the ice muscles, and there were two clear tooth marks on the pepper milk.
Cixi gently stroked the marks on her body, her heart was full of happiness and satisfaction, this person, it was really the magic star of her life, why did she suddenly indulge in it and couldn't extricate herself?
Cixi sighed lightly, changed into a palace dress, and walked out of the room, her face delicate.
Ci'an hurriedly asked, "Sister, what do you say when you go to Guo Mansion this time?" ”
Cixi replied: "Sister, I finally live up to my mission, but, Sixth Master, this time Guo Ye said that he was sick, but it had nothing to do with you." ”
Yixin's face turned red, and he said helplessly: "Queen Mother, presumably Guo Ye mentioned that incident again, right?" This matter is very important, and it is really not advisable to make a hasty decision, otherwise, once we fail, the country will be in danger of overturning, and we will become sinners of the Aixin Jueluo clan! ”
Cixi raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Sister, sixth master, what is going on?" As you all know, the mourners are still in the dark. ”
Yixin said helplessly: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, because this matter is too sensitive, the minister originally wanted to refuse it directly, so there is no need to alarm the two Queen Mothers, but I didn't expect that Guo Ye's bullish temper was committed again, and he actually said that he couldn't get sick, which is really annoying......"
Ci'an hurriedly said, "Okay, what is the matter?" ”
"Guo Ye wrote a letter requesting the disbandment of the Eight Banners Battalion, the abolition of the banners, and the resettlement of all the Manchurian Eight Banners people, so as to save a large amount of expenses from the imperial court and use them to support the suppression of the rebellion in the south......"
After Yixin finished speaking, he closed his mouth tightly, this matter is too sensitive, even if he is the regent, he will never dare to make a decision easily.
Ci'an frowned, this matter is indeed too tricky, don't say that the emperor is young now, even if the first emperor is in Japan, he will never dare to fight the idea of flag salary, this is the most stable foundation of the Qing Dynasty, once the Eight Banners are disbanded, what else do the Manchurians have to rely on? If the Han people rebel again, it will really be as the sixth man said, and the danger of overthrow is imminent!
However, there is some truth in what Guo Ye said, after all, the Eight Banners are too wasteful now, and they have no combat power at all, so they can only spend a lot of money and food every year, but they are useless, but they also want the Hanchen to form training armies in various places to fight against the Taiping bandits and bandits! Between one in and one out, tens of millions of taels of silver were entered, almost catching up with the annual income of the Qing Dynasty.
"Sister, then you go to Guo Mansion, what is Guo Ye's attitude in the end?"
Ci'an asked.
Cixi's face was slightly red, and she replied: "Sister, after the persuasion of the younger sister, now Guo Ye has temporarily changed his mind, and is willing to temporarily put aside the matter of the flag salary and make every effort to quell the rebellion, but he has another request......
"What requirements?"
Yixin asked in a deep voice, the current Guo Ye is simply a big profiteer, he can't afford to be unprofitable, special, but he is not as honest as before.
Cixi replied in a deep voice: "Guo Ye asked the imperial court to give him the errand of the governor to suppress and pacify all the wars of the Taiping army, and he could command and dispatch troops and money and food from all over the country at will, and he had the right to cut first and then play, so he was willing to lead the troops to the battle......"
What a breath!
Several people's faces were a little unhappy, first cut and then played, arbitrary, the governor war, such power is too powerful, so who can balance this young commander in the future?
Yixin sighed and replied: "The two queen mothers, the minister thinks that although Guo Ye's request is a bit excessive, but on the battlefield, it is indeed changing rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting, not to mention asking the imperial court, even if it is on the battlefield, there is no opportunity to ask Guo Ye for instructions, so he can only command on the spot." For the sake of the stability of the country, we can't help but take a risk! ”
Ci'an nodded and replied, "Well, yes, what the sixth master said has some truth, what about how many of you?" ”
Ci'an asked Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying, and Zhu Fengbiao.
Cao Yuying said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager Qi, the battlefield is important in the power of affairs, if the various departments hinder each other, we will suffer a big loss, Guo Ye is a genius, with his governor's war, I think our final victory is not far away!" ”
Seeing Cao Yuying say this, Ci'an's heart was a little more steady, this time it seems that there is only one time that Guo Ye is presumptuous, which can be regarded as some compensation for him.
Ci'an nodded to Cixi and replied, "Okay, since that's the case, let's draw up a holy decree and urge Guo Ye to go out of Beijing to join the war as soon as possible!" ”
Cixi was overjoyed, as long as she nodded too much with Ci'an, presumably the sixth child would not embarrass Guo Ye, her cheeks looked more ruddy and shiny, and her face was full of spring breeze.
Ci'an frowned and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that there is some discomfort in the body, but this face is very red......"
Cixi was startled and hurriedly replied, "Sister, how come? Maybe it's thick in the house, a little sweaty, it doesn't matter......"
Yixin on the side only noticed Cixi's face at this time, huh? No, Yixin, as a prince and a prince of a country, is also a veteran in the Fengyue Field, so he can naturally see the strong spring love brought out by the corners of Cixi's eyes and eyebrows, what's going on? This queen mother is a bit of a spring budding performance, is it in Guo's mansion?
Yixin was taken aback by his own thoughts, and shook his head fiercely, it is better not to make trouble, the main task now is to draw up a will, so that Guo Ye can rest assured that he will boldly suppress the bandits.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, since the summer of this year, the rebellion of the party has been everywhere, the bandits are huge, and they are in chaos in the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, and the prosperity of the soldiers is unprecedented; From now on, Guo Ye will be given the first class of the Duke of Yasukuni, the Governor of Liangjiang, and the Governor of Liangjiang to suppress bandits, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be in charge of affairs, and the holy decree will come to the day, and all war matters will be decided by Guo Ye, and he will be given the right to act cheaply...... Hope is conscientious, quell the rebellion, don't bow down, admire this! ”
Cao Yuying took matters into her own hands, wrote the holy decree and put it in front of the two palaces, the two looked at each other, took out two seals, and covered them fiercely on the holy decree!
