I can't die

Tossing stones to ask the way originally refers to throwing stones before sneaking into a place at night to see if there is any response, so as to detect the situation.

This allusion comes from the mouth of Shi Shilun, the son of Shi Lang, a famous general during the Kangxi period.Later, it was mostly used in officialdom and military affairs, and its popularity is no less than 36.

And throwing stones to ask for directions is Cixi Ci'an's usual political method. In order to face the two palaces, the two of them used Dong Yuanchun to test Sushun and others, and now they are more proficient in using it.

It's just that the current road has changed from Sushun and other eight ministers to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty headed by the nobles of the Eight Banners, and the stone has changed to Hua Hengfang who is imitating British warships in the Dagukou cottage.

Hua Hengfang had been obsessed with ingenuity for many years, and after receiving Zai Chun's secret decree, she was overjoyed and felt that her skills would shine brightly, so she and her friend Xu Shou immediately sorted out the data compiled by the two of them in the past few years. The calculation book was reported to the imperial court, and at the same time, it was expedited by [-] miles, and it was reported to the military aircraft department in a secret letter. The concept of "learning barbarians".

At the same time, Li Hongzhang, who was far away in Shanghai, also worked together, and sent Feng Guifen, who was born in a famous family under the curtain, to submit forty articles of his representative political theory "Xiaobinlu Protest", and proposed in detail that "based on Chinese ethics, constant and famous teachings as the original , supplemented by the slogan of the art of prosperity and strength of all countries".

After the two incidents of these two people were reported to the Military Aircraft Office, they naturally caused extremely far-reaching influence. Of course, it is still a secret report at this moment, so not many people know about it.

After Prince Gong received the memorial from the two, he was also thinking a lot.He has dealt with the great powers all the year round, and he has personally experienced the losses of the Opium War. He knows that what the two said is reasonable, but the Qing Dynasty is not a European country after all. The deep-rooted official relations for a century are intertwined and intertwined. Of the old school, many things have to be considered in yet.

At that moment, Prince Gong handed over the two secret letters to the other four military ministers respectively.Among the Ministers of Military Aircraft, Guiliang, Secretary of the Household Department, Shen Guifang, Minister of Rites, and Guerjia Wenxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, are all part of Prince Gong's party. They have seen the suggestion of Prince Gong, the head Minister of Military Aircraft, in these two secret letters, three words: " Got it." I also understood what Prince Gong meant. "I know", neither affirming nor denying, ambiguous, specious.

Prince Chun, the last remaining Minister of Military Aircraft, looked at everyone else like this, and after a change of heart, he opened his mouth first: "This king thinks what these two people said is quite reasonable, what do you think?"

All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew that Prince Chun was Cixi's brother-in-law, and when he said this, it actually represented Cixi's meaning.At present, among the five ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, four are regarded as abstention votes, and one is regarded as an affirmative vote. In theory, the Military Aircraft Department is recognized.only. . .

"Tobe, what do you think?"

Hearing Deyi's words, Prince Gong's father-in-law Gui Liang slightly opened his wrinkled eyes, and pulled his skin: "The emperor and empress dowager know all about the state treasury."

Come on, in a word, if you want to engage in foreign affairs, you can, but for money, you have to figure out your own way.

"The Hunan army has a lot of military expenses. It can last for a while."

Prince Gong said another word, nothing more than a reminder to Guiliang.

"Let's talk about it if we can't hold it. We can't say that the tax money will come up next year. It's okay to do it."

The old God of Guiliang babbled a lot, and then said again: "There is nothing next to it, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials can't move now."

Shen Guifang, Minister of Rites, and Guerjia Wenxiang, Minister of Punishment, listened to Gui Liang's words, and immediately answered: "The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment cannot move either."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I'm too busy offering sacrifices to the sky and keeping the New Year's Eve. After the Chinese New Year, it's the Enke Xingbang (another name for the examination) of the Emperor's New Year. The Ministry of Rituals can't mess it up at this time."

"It's the same with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The White Lotus Sect matter has only stopped for a while. There are so many people locked up in the sky prison, and they have to be released one by one. There is a shortage of people at this time."

Anyway, it's just a sentence, if you want to learn Westernization, you can, don't attack my people.

Prince Gong, the chief minister of military affairs, listened to the words of the four, and took a casual glance at everyone, and he began to think about it. In this case, he could only feel sorry for the Ministry of Industry. Into the military plane, I can only feel sorry for him.

Then, Prince Gong suggested in the secret book: The Ministry of Industry may give it a try first.

The Ministry of Industry may give it a try. After seeing the reply from the Military Aircraft Department, Zai Chun couldn't help but admire Cixi's political vision, which is exactly what she said.

It seems that I am really too impatient, and the road always has to be walked step by step.Therefore, Zai Chun issued the following secret edict:

"Uchigri Woren, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, listened to the decree. I want to set up a Westernization Department in the Ministry of Industry to specialize in learning Western firearms. The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Woren Mi, drafted a charter, set up official positions, and drafted a list to eliminate redundant staff."

It has also been said before that the annual budget and the number of officials of each ministry are limited due to force majeure. This also means that the establishment of a new department will inevitably lead to the relegation of a large number of officials from the original Ministry of Industry.

When Wu Ren got the secret decree, his eyes almost burst into flames.

This is a good relationship. Among the six departments, none of the other departments will be moved, but my engineering department will be moved. The relationship is bullying my military aircraft department, isn't it?

Deceiving too much!

Besides, Western learning is the learning of barbarians, not the way of Confucius and Mencius, so how can it be entered into the six departments of the imperial court openly?Absurd! (Uqigli Woren, born in 1804, is now 57 years old. His style name is Genfeng. He is from Zhenghongqi, Mongolia. He is a full supporter of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.)

At that moment, Wo Ren got the secret decree on his front foot, and handed over the sign directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation on his back foot, wanting to face the saint in person and begging the emperor to take back his order.

Zai Chun also didn't expect Wo Ren to come so quickly after receiving the secret decree, and to come so fiercely.I saw this white-haired old man, as soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, what kind of villain's slander did you listen to, and you want to do the thing of subjugating the country?"

The matter of subjugation?

Zai Chun was also dumbfounded when he heard Wo Ren's big hat being buttoned down.

What the hell?Can you say that again?

Let's listen to Woren continue to say: "Since ancient times, sages have governed the country with the way of Confucius and Mencius and the words of sages. This is also the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. How can it be feasible to use the barbarian magic to destroy the spine of our country? It is the sign of the country's subjugation."

Weird?Listen to this, didn't you say that as long as Zai Chun doesn't listen to persuasion, he will be a faint king and a subjugated emperor?

This is really a big forest with all kinds of birds. Zai Chun originally thought that the most pedantic people should be those Hanchen who were born in a scholarly family, but he didn't expect that there were such a number one person among the Manchu and Mongolian nobles?

My God, if such a person is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, it's no wonder my Qing Dynasty's technology cannot develop.I really don't know what my short-lived father Xianfeng was thinking, and let such a person sit in this seat.

"This matter was discussed jointly by me, the queen dowagers of the two palaces, and the Military Aircraft Department. Aiqing, don't get into a dead end."

Zai Chun's "Love Qing" is still suppressing his anger, it seems that Wo Ren said it out of the principle of respecting the old and loving the young because he is quite old.

Unexpectedly, this Wo Ren heard Zai Chun's words, but he didn't seem to understand the meaning of Zai Chun's words at all. He couldn't kneel down again, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not a lie. If it is true, Bian Xia Doom is right in front of your eyes!"

At the moment, this Wo Ren was crying and making noises, which made Zai Chun one head and two big. Wan Shi didn't expect this old guy to be so eloquent.

"Aying, hurry up and take Master Shangshu to the Military Aircraft Department, and ask him to discuss with all the military ministers. I am going to have dinner with the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces."

36 is the best plan.

I can't say enough about you, I still don't believe that no one in the Military Aircraft Department can say much about you, I want to go to Chuxiu Palace to have a cup of tea first to calm my shock. . . .
