I can't die

Pressed into the Department of Punishment?Who doesn't know that the Department of Punishment is a department of the inner court, and they are all Cixi's people. If this is closed to the Department of Punishment, wouldn't it give An Dehai a chance?Thinking of this, Guerjia Wenxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately stepped forward and said firmly: "Although An Dehai is an internal eunuch, the matters he is involved in are already foreign affairs, and he should be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment to await trial. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me. "

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?Cixi couldn't tell that this group of people was determined to take An Dehai's life. How could An Dehai get out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?It is his luck to leave a whole body.

"Prince Chun, you are the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what do you think?"

The House of Internal Affairs was the general organization in the Qing Dynasty that managed the affairs of the royal family.Prince Jin's heart trembled when he was named by Cixi. He also felt that this fact was too coincidental. Why did someone impeach An Dehai just after he had a conflict with An Dehai?Those who didn't know thought he was the mastermind behind it.

"This... I think this matter is a matter for the inner court after all, and it is always bad for foreign ministers to handle the inner eunuchs."

Although Prince Jin had a rift with An Dehai, he was not stupid. Hearing Cixi's tone, he didn't know what Cixi meant, and wanted to help An Dehai speak.Cixi's face relaxed at this point, she felt that Prince Jin was still hurt.

Seeing this, Guerjia Wenxiang was not reconciled, so he looked at Zaichun again: "I hope the Holy One will rule."

Zai Chun was thinking in every possible way, if An Dehai lost power like this, it would be beneficial to him, after all, An Dehai had controlled the harem for many years, if he fell, he would naturally arrange for some of his own people to enter the harem.However, An Dehai is currently undertaking some errands for foreign affairs study abroad. Although the errands are fine without him, if someone makes a fuss about it, I'm afraid it will be bad.

Zai Chun thought for a while, and said: "Even if An Dehai is an internal officer, let the Empress Dowager say that An Dehai should be put under the temporary supervision of the Punishment Department."

The aunt Ci'an was taken aback when she heard Zai Chun say this. She thought that Zai Chun didn't like Cixi's control of the harem, so she let Wen Xiang go. She didn't interrupt, but she didn't expect that Zai Chun would spare An Dehai's life: " Even so, who will the emperor send to handle this matter? Aijia thinks it is better to do business in a business-like manner. Sir Wen Xiang is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, so it is the most suitable."

"Master Guerjia, I believe it, but it is only fair to ask someone to be a deputy judge."

"Deputy judge? It seems that the emperor already has a candidate."

"Li Huaihua, he is an honest man, and I can trust him."

As soon as these words came out, Cixi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Knowing the relationship between Li Huaihua and An Dehai, she heard that Zai Chun did not mean to kill An Dehai, so she immediately chimed in: "This is the most fair thing."

"But Li Huaihua is an official of the Ministry of War, how can he do interrogation?" Ci'an asked again.

"If that's the case, let Li Huaihua be given the title of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he deserves the credit." Those who are smarter can see the emperor's thoughts, so they have no choice but to acquiesce in this matter.Put An Dehai into the Punishment Department, and the Ministry of Punishment and Li Huaihua will jointly try it.

There is a way to deal with this matter, so everyone stopped talking.Zaichun thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, so be it, leave the court without incident, the Minister of the Household Department, Prince Jin and Yu Shi Jiao Youying stay."

After hearing Zai Chun's words, everyone knew that the main event of the early court had come to an end, and they left one after another. The spacious hall suddenly became empty again, only a few people remained.Seeing that everyone was leaving, Zai Chun called the servants to bring chairs and asked the minister to sit down without any formality.

"What about An Dehai is just a trivial matter, Minister of the Household Department, I have mentioned the opium matter to you before, let me talk about it."

Perhaps in the eyes of many officials, the impeachment of An Dehai, the big celebrity in front of Cixi, is a great event, but in the eyes of Zai Chun, this matter is not as good as the opium issue.

Hearing Zaichun's words, Guerjia Guiliang, the servant of the household department, took out the charter he had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, and explained in detail the plan to plant opium in the Qing Dynasty and resist the invasion of foreign opium.All the people present, including the empress dowagers of the two palaces, wiped off their cold sweat after hearing Guerjia Guiliang's plan to hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-damage by eight hundred. For a while, everyone was silent, as if they didn't know How should I put it.

After a long while, Cixi said quietly: "It would be great if we could beat the British to the ground."

Cixi's words obviously expressed the aspirations of everyone present. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't beat Britain, how could the Qing Dynasty have allowed the opium to spread so blatantly in the country? They beat and killed all the opium dealers long ago. .

It's just that everyone knows that this is obviously impossible.Lin Zexu, a famous official of a generation, is such an example, so what if he is capable?In the end, he became a victim of diplomatic failure and was exiled to Gansu, which is not a shit, and died in depression.

"Master Shangshu's strategy can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. And if one is not good, it will easily backfire."

After hearing the words, Jiao Youying thought for a moment, then played the role of censor, and said.Indeed, just as Zai Chun’s vision worried, although the Qing Dynasty produced its own opium and lowered the price, a price war could quickly resist the invasion of foreign opium, but this would definitely make the poisonous opium more widespread and affect the entire population. National fitness level.

"If the people of the Qing Dynasty can realize the poison of opium and consciously resist it, that is the best policy."

Ci'an has always been wise, pointing out the crux of the problem with one word.

"But this is very rare. After all, opium has been circulating in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and many people have already suffered from drug addiction. Even if they know the poison of opium, they may not be able to help themselves."

Prince Chun told the truth.

Zai Chun heard everyone's worries, and suddenly said: "It would be better if my Qing court organized the cultivation of opium, so that the government would control it. At the same time, we would organize scholars to spread the poisonous knowledge of opium in various places, so that It can also serve as a promotional effect.”

This idea is a middle-of-the-road policy.

"It's just that scholars are mostly noble, so how can they be willing to lower their status to comment on the truth with ordinary people?"

Prince Chun raised a question, and it was indeed a question.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are at the top of the social class. Most of them claim their status, and there are not many who can lower their stature.It would be nice to have a wider advocacy tool. . .

Thinking of this, Zai Chun's eyes brightened:

"newspaper!"
