I can't die

Although Zai Chun took over the task of giving Cixi a thousand-year-old birthday, he actually had no idea in his heart. 50 taels of snow-patterned silver is enough to buy more than 40 mu of fertile land. How can this change?

After thinking about it, Zai Chun decided to tell Cixi about this in advance. If Cixi can cut down the expenses of the birthday banquet, everyone will be happy.

Zai Chun thought it was good, he felt that his own mother and son were easy to talk to, but he did not expect that Ci Xi's uncharacteristically firm attitude on this matter, not only moved out that the Shengshou banquet could not be held well, it would be undignified for the Qing Dynasty, and even a word was smashed. Zai Chun was speechless.

Do you know what this sentence is?

I saw Cixi touching Zai Chun's head with her fingers wearing gold silk armor, and said with a light smile like Dai's willow eyebrows: "How did the emperor say that the Ministry of Households has no money? That's not what the Ai family heard. A few days ago Sushun Duanhua Zaiheng and the others just ransacked their home on the day of the day. These first-rank officials and the auxiliary ministers estimate that they have at least a million family backgrounds, right? It is said that only [-] grains of silver and some worthless broken porcelain bowls were confiscated in total. Don’t think that Aijia is really a woman with black eyes."

Zaichun's power is in the Ministry of War, and he has nothing to do with the Ministry of War. He really doesn't know as much as Cixi Ci'an; hearing Cixi's words like this, his teeth are almost gnashed secretly.

Damn corruption!

Worms!

This Guiliang is really bold.

But I heard Cixi continue to say: "The emperor wanted to embezzle 300 taels of military expenses for the Hunan Army, and the Ai family agreed. The emperor asked the Ai family to spare Jiao Youying, and the Ai family also agreed. Now Ai family only has such a small request. Is it okay to spend your birthday happily? Your Majesty, you are my own son."

Cixi's few words are much more powerful than ordinary women's "one cry, two troubles and three hanged themselves", and they almost pointed at their nostrils and scolded Zai Chun for being unfilial.

What else can we do?

Zaichun was blocked and had nothing to say, so he had to honestly make Cixi happy, promising that the House of Internal Affairs would be beautiful, and that the Qianqiu Holy Banquet would be held in a good manner, which would make Cixi happy.

I am also very tired to have such an old mother at the booth!

Empress Dowager Cixi could not be beaten or scolded.Zai Chun could only go back to the study in despair.

Back in the upper study room, Jiao Youying had already been waiting there to give Zaichun a lesson.On the side, the two companions of Prince Hui's family, Yi Xun and Yi Xiang, also stood aside together, waiting for Zai Chun to be seated.

Zai Chun stepped into the upper study room, sat down on his own dragon chair with a very grim complexion, waved his hand, signaled everyone to sit down, and asked Jiao Youying to start the lecture.

Such a smart person as Jiao Youying, seeing Zai Chun's unsightly expression, knew in his heart that something happened in the court again.It's just that the Jiao family's influence in the court has been greatly reduced now, and they don't have much real power, so Jiao Youying doesn't know what happened.

"Reading must be quiet before you can write articles. The emperor seems to be thinking about it."

Since Jiao Youying was rescued from the dungeon by Zai Chun and reused, he has been regarded as Zai Chun's confidant and aide, so he asked this kindly.

Zai Chun was still thinking about the payment of money in his mind at this moment. After much deliberation, he was sure that the millions of taels of silver obtained from the confiscation of the house must have ended up in the hands of Prince Gong Yi and the Minister of the Household Department, Gui Liang. Hands, just how to make this group of gluttons spit out, but it is extremely difficult? (The former Minister of the Household Department was Sushun. After his downfall, Guiliang, the former Minister of the Household Department, took over.)

Zai Chun slowly thought about Guiliang and Yi, his family, and everything he knew in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called Li Lianying: "Aying, go to Lama Temple to arrest Xia Changping." Find it."

Xia Changping!

Jiao Youying was shocked when he heard the name!

To say that Xia Changping was in the imperial court, he might not know much about him, but Jiao Youying, who was once the Minister of the Eighth Great Auxiliary Government, knew Xia Changping very well.

Xia Changping's ancestor was originally Xiayi, and the Xia family was officially opened in the Yongzheng period to rule the stick.Although the sticky pole is at the department level, there are less than 20 people in total, but all of them are masters with amazing skills, who are actually blood drops. The royals deal with some shady stuff.The people in the blood drop will not accept the imperial decree, and will not accept the imperial decree. Only the emperor himself will execute the order in person, which fundamentally guarantees that this secret service agency can only be controlled by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty and will not fall into the hands of others. .

As I said before, when Zai Chun was still the prince's confidant in the Five Great Palaces, Li Lianying in front of the imperial court, Shang Yi Zhilan, and Cixi's eyeliner Zhiqing, among the remaining two, one was secretly handed over by Xianfeng himself when he was alive. Xia Changping in Zai Chun's hands.

"Brothers, why don't you go to the side and read the book first?"

Jiao Youying made a statement, intending to send Yixun and Yixiang away.Although Yixun and Yixiang were curious about who Xia Changping was, they could only nod their heads when they heard Jiao Youying's words, and walked out.

After Deyi Xingyi asked away.Jiao Youying immediately asked: "Your Majesty, forgive me for your courage. Now that the court has been stabilized, why did you suddenly activate the stick?"

Although the stick has a long history, since Yongzheng, it has not been liked by those Qing emperors who flaunt benevolence and righteousness, so it has not been used much in recent years, especially in the Xianfeng period, when the imperial court faced the British and French allied forces. I don't have the time to use these secret service agencies that are few in number and can only be used internally.

Listening to Jiao Youying's words, Zai Chun frowned, feeling inexplicably offended, but seeing the frank and worried expression on Jiao Youying's face, he finally let go of his dissatisfaction.So he told the story that Prince Gong and Guiliang had embezzled a million taels.

"Prince Gong has a son, Zai Cheng. Presumably, the teacher also knows that this person does not learn a lot, and often hangs around the fireworks and willow lanes. He has no law and often causes trouble. I plan to use this to let Xia Changping set up a bureau to arrest Zai Cheng." Go to jail and force Prince Gong to spit out the silver."

Hearing this, Jiao Youying was shocked instantly, slapped his long sleeves, knelt down in front of Zai Chun, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this must never happen."

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Prince Gong and Jiao Youying, who was once the Eighth Assistant Minister of the Government, are political enemies, Zai Chun did not expect that Jiao Youying would be so strongly opposed when he heard that Prince Gong was going to be unlucky.

"Teacher, what are you?"

Jiao Youying's words were extremely sincere:

"Your Majesty, since Sejong, why didn't the blood drops be liked by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty? In fact, the emperor is benevolent. Only those who are superior can cultivate their morality and life, and be open-minded, so that they can stand in the universe and have no shame in the community. The emperor's genius plan, In the end, it is deceitful, how can a king use what a woman and a villain do?"

"In addition, although Prince Gong Guiliang is greedy, he is the backbone of the court. He holds great power and has a solid foundation. There are as many as a hundred servants under his door. If you use this to make the monarch and his ministers suspicious, the court will be unstable. Furthermore, If the news of the blood drop leaks out, then everyone in the court will be in danger, fearing that it will further arouse the suspicion of others, which will not be conducive to long-term peace and stability."

When Zai Chun heard Jiao Youying's objection at the beginning, he was a little annoyed in his heart, but after thinking about it, Zaizai felt that what Jiao Youying said was not unreasonable.Although he had never been a high-ranking official in his previous life, the second son of the "gentleman" has been respected by the world since ancient times.For those who achieve success in their careers, ability is second, and their personality charm is also indispensable.Only those who are as high as a mountain can know the height of the sky.As thick as the ground, it can carry heavy things.

Conspiracies and tricks are certainly useful in the short term, but they may not be convincing in the long run.

"What is the teacher's opinion?"

"Since ancient times, conspiracy is not as good as Yangmou, and Yangmou is worse than not planning. If the Holy Lord trusts the humble minister, why don't you let the humble minister go to Prince Gong's mansion in person?"

"Teacher wants to go to Prince Gong's mansion in person? Are you sure?"

"[-]% is not necessarily, [-]% is still there."
