I can't die

"Contributing to the community, but not to the imperial court."

In this case, it would be disrespectful to say it, and thanks to Li Hongzhang, someone else might have been dragged out by Cixi Ci'an and hacked.

Zaichun heard the words, but he didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he smiled comfortingly: "The meritorious service in the country is worthy of my heart. How can there be an eternal dynasty in this world? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I have confidence in my children. .”

After finishing speaking, Zai Chun also looked at Mrs. Fucha's stomach. It has been two and a half months since her wedding. To say that Mrs. Fu's stomach is really up to snuff, she got pregnant not long after she got married, and it was also the first time she got married. When Fucha was on the boat for a few days, he was diagnosed with physical discomfort.Thinking of this, Zai Chun is also very speechless. He is only 14 years old this year, and Fucha is only 15 years old. Except for the day of the big wedding, and later, due to physical considerations, the two of them just sleep under the quilt. up.This hit rate is much higher than that of his short-lived Xianfeng father. (If the emperor and empress do not have sex on the day of their wedding, they will be considered dissatisfied with the empress, so there is nothing to do.)

Seeing Zai Chun's gaze, Fu Cha's heart felt warm.After all, she is a woman, and a child is the foundation of life in this palace, let alone a legitimate son. Furthermore, Zai Chun is also very happy that Fucha's family can conceive.

On the heartache of being a parent at the age of 45 and [-].

Cixi Ci'an looked at the empress who was already two months pregnant, and she also sighed in her heart; the son must be a father, there are many things, Lai Zaichun still knows it in his heart, right?At least for the past few years, Zaichun's emperor has done pretty well.

"Your Majesty can figure it out. But the Emperor must also remember that after all, it is the inheritance left by the ancestors. After a hundred years, he will always face Aixinjueluo's ancestors."

Don't let the ancestral foundation be ruined in front of their eyes is the minimum standard set by Cixi Ci'an to Zai Chun.Zai Chun also nodded when he heard the words.

Because a private school of Western skills was to be established in Shanghai, Li Hongzhang accompanied Zai Chun on the train and returned to the Forbidden City with Zai Chun and the others.

Originally, it was planned to return to the capital by land from Jinling, and inspect the people's livelihood along the way, but because of Fucha's belly, he had to take the train back to Shanghai, and then take the ship back to the Forbidden City.So the arrangement on the road was tight, but it took more than half a month to return to the Forbidden City.At this time, Fucha's belly was already three months old, and various pregnancy symptoms came, such as morning sickness and poor appetite, which made the whole harem very tense, and even Cixi Ci'an, who had always liked to say goodbye to each other, was here. Time also temporarily stopped fighting in the ring, and took care of Fucha's fetus together.

The harem was tense, and the front court was not idle.Zaichun mentioned in the previous court that he wanted to introduce arithmetic and Western physics into the imperial examination, which immediately caused a big wave of exaggeration in the court, and he continued to support Westernization. They all kept their mouths shut. You should know that this is a declaration of war with Confucian scholars all over the world. Anyone who makes a bad move will get burned.

Even Grand Tutor Jiao Youying couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, although Western skills are useful, the words of the sages are the most important weapon of the country, so you need to think twice."

"Yes. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

This level of Taifu has said so, and there are even more people who agree with him, not to mention the censors in the censor's platform, who even have the intention of splashing blood on the Golden Luan Hall.

Although Zai Chun didn't show it on the surface, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.No matter how difficult it was in the past, at least he could be sure that his team would stand behind him, but today, even Jiao Youying said so, and it is conceivable that others would object even more.

Li Hongzhang came to Beijing this time for this purpose, so seeing the civil and military posture of the Manchu Dynasty, even if he had expected it in his heart, he secretly complained that it was not good.

"Your Majesty, I think that instead of using Western skills as the twilight of the imperial examinations, it is better to open another Enke, which is like martial arts. But Western learning is for practical use, and Chinese learning is for the body. How to get an official in the exam should be thought twice before acting. "

Since ancient times, the court's emphasis on martial arts has been lower than that of Wenju, and the longer the dynasty, the more obvious this is.It is extremely rare that so many high-level officials in Zai Chun's current gang are from the military industry.

Li Hongzhang's words opened up a way for ministers who could only negotiate between "acceptable and inaccurate" to not only disobey the emperor clearly, but also stick to their own opinions.

Hearing Li Hongzhang's words, Zai Chun breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he was indeed a fool. He only wanted to confer official positions on technicians, but he didn't expect that these technicians were all focused on researching things. , if there are really some strategies for governing the country, I am afraid that those who really specialize in science and technology will be difficult to be selected.

"It's not impossible to do so, it's just that this Western technique cannot be equated with Wenju."

Prince Gong also felt that this idea was good, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.His words set the tone for the officials from the Eight Banners clan.

"What Prince Gong said is true."

"I also ask the Holy One to rule."

In fact, many people in the Eight Banners clan did not rely on the imperial examination to confer officials. After all, they were all people with the surname Aixinjueluo, so why did they need to take the imperial examination?It's just that the leader didn't speak before, and everyone didn't dare to touch the nerves of those fragile literati. Now Prince Gong spoke up, and hurriedly agreed one by one.

The Confucian scholars saw that the wind direction in the court was upside down again, and felt great hatred in their hearts. An elderly, white-haired academician of the Imperial Academy immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty can't do it like this!!!! , Aren’t we trying to shake the foundation of the country?!”

Well, the country has come out, and Zai Chun is sitting on the dragon chair, feeling his brows twitching, thinking that he has been sweeping away the old-fashioned forces in the court for so many years, how come there are still so many remaining diehards left behind? Is it because I am not strong enough?

Li Hongzhang watched these Confucian scholars move like this one by one, and secretly looked at Zai Chun's expressionless face, and he imagined the inner drama that the emperor was already trying his best to endure.I'm afraid that the emperor will explode and it will be difficult to deal with:

"The establishment of a foreign school is also the intention of the American ambassador. I have good relations with other countries in Daqingyuan, so that we can have a stable situation today. Only when we show goodwill to the United States, can we not be afraid of outsiders."

Li Hongzhang raised the flag of the United States again, and instantly extended the topic to another level.As a result, the prime minister's affairs office, which was originally just a mess, had to join in the debate, and the entire court was immediately bustling.It only made Zai Chun's scalp numb.
