Chapter seven hundred and fifth ridiculous

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Looking at Han Xiufeng's thoughtful look, Rong Lu said again: "Brother Zhixing, isn't it like this for an official? If you really encounter something, you can bear it alone, and it will not only have no benefits to implicate too much, but will also make the road narrower and narrower."

Yongxiang reacted and couldn't help but look up and said, "What happened to Qiying, and the Fourth Master, you are helping you run away at the risk of angering the emperor. He must have seen it all, so he is so good to you."

Wang Qianli whispered: "Let the Fourth Master run to the Old Summer Palace more, is this good to the Fourth Master?"

"Brother Bailing, you are a fan of the authorities!"

"Why am I so obsessed with the authorities?"

Ronglu rarely felt proud in front of Wang Qian, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Bailing, you and I know that Brother Zhixing is sagely and kind. As long as you want to beg for a meeting, you can almost meet the emperor. However, Wen Feng, who had just become the minister of the Yuanmingyuan, didn't know. In his opinion, the closer the errand is to the emperor, the better the errand is, so he came up with such an idea to promote Brother Zhixing."

"The Fourth Master still needs his support!"

"Thinking about it carefully, he is not a supportive person, he can only be considered a favor."

Han Xiufeng felt that Ronglu's analysis made some sense, but he was not sure, so he simply smiled and said, "Does he have a connection with the Qingxian family? Just go back and send a letter to ask Qingxian and you will know. Let's talk about the important things."

"Okay, talk about the serious business." Wang Qianli quickly took out a letter and said with a wry smile: "There is finally news in Shanghai. Xue Huan and Liu Shanyang said in the letter that the 36 foreign guns and corresponding gunpowder lead they bought from Citi Foreign Company arrived last month. As a result, because of the British and Buddhist countries coming to Dagukou, the American consul in Shanghai asked the foreign company to detain the guns and prevent the delivery of the goods."

“What about now?”

"Hasn't we signed a peace agreement with Britain, Buddha, Mi, and Russia now? The Citi Minister and the Consul saw that the Russian Minister planned to send us guns and cannons for free, and even planned to send someone to teach the government how to use it. They asked the foreign companies to deliver the goods quickly. They also said that as long as they were willing to pay the shipping fee, they could send steamers to help transport foreign guns and gunpowder lead to Tianjin."

"This is a good time!" Han Xiufeng said with a gloomy face.

"So the worst is America, which is worse than England and France." Wang Qianli put down his letter and said hatefully: "This time at Dagukou, they did not send out a single soldier or a single shot. England and France got everything from Guiliang and Huashana, and they actually got it all. Think about it, it's really irritating."

"The same is true for Russian and barbarians." Ronglu sighed and said helplessly: "In terms of advantages, Russian and barbarians have occupied more. Not only have they signed a trade agreement with Guiliang and Huashana, but they also intend to re-discuss the border with us. I heard from Bochuan that the emperor had secretly ordered the general of Heilongjiang to be convinced and handled it properly."

Yongxiang was not as pessimistic as them. He put down the teacup and said, "Mr. Wen said that this is just a delaying strategy. No matter what Guiliang signed with them, he could not count it."

"Are you all seeing Bochuan today?"

"I saw it, but he was too busy and only talked for a while."

"What did he say?" Han Xiufeng asked.

Ronglu hurriedly said, "He said that Gui Liang reported that the peace agreement between Britain and Buddha must not be used as real evidence at this time. However, if you use these few papers, you will temporarily retreat to the Haikou military ship. If you want to betray the alliance in the future, you only need to punish slaves and others for handling bad crimes, and you can use them as waste paper."

"So the emperor is so resistant to the public, and will not punish Gui Liang?"

"I won't investigate him anymore, and I will order him to wait for the foreigners to return to the south and go to Shanghai to sign up for trading rules with the foreigners."

"Can Weng Xincun and Yin Zhaoyong calm down?"

"Brother Zhixing, you think too much of them. Don't look at them having a good time a few days ago, it's because the emperor didn't say anything. Now that the emperor has spoken, he doesn't dare to jump around again with a few courages. Besides, the emperor has just issued an order to be the chief master of the study room this afternoon, and ordered Kuang Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to study and walk on the Minister of Military Affairs, and promoted Yin Zhaoyong to be the Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, and Jiang Zhizhang was appointed as the Censor of Jiangnan Road... Even Prince Gong has an errand and is appointed as the Chief of the Han Army of the Inlaid Yellow Banner!"

Han Xiufeng was shocked: "Kuang Yuan entered the value center? Yin Zhaoyong entered the fourth-grade Jingtang?"

Rong Lu smiled bitterly and said, "It's still fake. It seems that Yin Gengyun was not promoted. It can be seen that even if he makes trouble, he has to master the situation and not make trouble too much. He offended Prince Zheng and made Prince Zheng unable to get out of the court. It's not that easy to get promoted."

Thinking that after Ji Yunfei was admitted to the registered censor, he was eager to wait for a re-education, and Wen Xiang was also interested in helping him find a flaw, Han Xiufeng asked again: "Jiang Zhizhang was re-educated to the Jiangnan Dao Censor, why haven't I heard of this person?"

"Jiang Zhizhang is from Qianshan, Jiangxi Province. In the 25th year of Daoguang, he ranked sixth in the second grade of the second grade of the Yisi En-Class. After the Jin Ban was awarded the title, he was selected as a Shuji Shi. After the Sanguan, he served as a co-education of the National History Museum and a chairman of the Wenyuan Pavilion. Later, he returned to his hometown to hold a group training in his hometown and helped the officers to prevent and block the long hair. He was a candidate who had just returned to Beijing before the New Year."

Ronglu paused and said meaningfully: "He was not only Chen Fuen's fellow townsman, but also Meng Chuanjin's same year. Although he was not qualified enough, it was reasonable to be able to make up for the Jiangnan Road Censor."

How could Han Xiufeng not hear what he meant? He thought that Chen Fuen was from Sushun. He was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 18. Meng Chuanjin, the censor who was known as "Meng Dabang", was also from Sushun. Jiang Zhizhang and Chen Fuen, Meng Chuanjin either had the friendship of his fellow countrymen or had the friendship of the same year. With Chen Fuen and Meng Chuanjin's recommendation, Sushun, who was "thirsty for talent", would naturally help this.

Although he clearly understood that Jiang Zhizhang was taking Sushun's path, Han Xiufeng still said lightly: "If it were true to the same year, Bochuan and Meng Chuanjin and Jiang Zhizhang were the same year, they were both the 25th Jinshi of Daoguang."

"Yes," Thinking that Han Xiufeng and Sushun had a very subtle relationship, Ronglu realized that it was inappropriate to say this in person, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother Zhixing, I almost forgot that Xu Naida also had an errand, and the emperor issued an order to be the Minister of Guanglu Temple."

Han Xiufeng thought he had heard it wrong and subconsciously asked: "Guanglu Temple Master?"

"The tea soup in Guanglu Temple, the prescriptions of the Imperial Hospital, the optimist prayer, the swords and guns of the Arsenal Department, the workshops of the Yangji Department, the clothing and food of the Jiaofang Department, the constitutional principles of the Censorate, the school of the Imperial College, the articles of the Hanlin Academy... I didn't expect that the emperor would order him as the Minister of Guanglu Temple, and he would be amused and cry at this moment."

The rumor that Rong Lugang said was the "Top Ten ridiculous" that officials, gentry and people made fun of each yamen.

Guanglu Temple is responsible for the royal banquet, the ceremony, the banquet, and the food is shameful. The court either does not hold a banquet, and if it is to be placed, it must be placed in the open world as usual. There are many tables that must be prepared in advance. After preparation, it will go down to the chef, the chief officer, and even the Guanglu Temple ministers have to repeatedly verify that there will be no mistakes. It may take a day, one night or even longer from the preparation of the table to the civil and military officials sitting down to eat.

In winter, all the dishes were frozen hard and could not be eaten at all. In the morning, all the dishes that had been covered for a night were rotten and could not be eaten at all. Therefore, Guanglu Temple was nicknamed the "Top Ten Ridiculous" in the capital!

Thinking that for others, being the Minister of Guanglu Temple would be a success. But for Xu Naizhao, who had been the governor of Jiangsu, being the Minister of Guanglu Temple was ridiculous. Han Xiufeng was silent for a moment and murmured: "Bochuan is really true. If you really can't help with this, you don't need to help. If you make it happen now, it will only backfire."

"I asked Bochuan and he said it had nothing to do with him, it was not his guaranteed report."
