"Ai ai …" Brother, what are you so anxious for? "Bro, I was just thinking for you, wasn't I?"
"Do you really think that no one will steal your silver just because you are so honest?" What a joke, send the silver to the Ministry of Revenue for your high and mighty conduct! No one will thank you. They will only say that you are stupid! "
"Don't you like my mention of the Ministry? "It's not like we ordered this fee right away. There was such a rule even during the era of the imperial edict …"
"I heard …" That Zhang Jing from the Military Intelligence Service is called Li Tuo, and she has been walking very closely with Li Lianying, the Empress Dowager Xi and the Fifth Master! "
"Ci Xi wanted to be promoted to his official, but this brat refused to do so. Even if he decided to become an official, Zhang Jing would be done with it!"
"Why? In the end, he was still a lowly official! "Even more than an official …"
"In Dao Guang era, there was a Han Lin with the surname Feng. I can't remember his name, but he had a good relationship with Lin Zexu and his group … It's said that he once counted how much money this plate cost in private! "
"I don't know if it's statistical or not. It gave me a fright …." "There are four divisions of the Department for Purging Officials, and they spend over three million silver taels a year just to pay for their food!"
"If we include the Military, Board of Punishments, Department of Revenue, work department, Department of Rites … Each year, these small officials would have to pay 10 million silver taels as their division fees! "
"This is still the market price of the Daoguang years. These few years, war has been fierce, and each place has more accounts to pay for. This bunch of grandsons have really made a fortune!"
"I am only counting the number of yamen's in the capital. What about yamen of the envoys that are on the border feudal lords?" What about the Lower Prefecture Dao County? Hehe … Isn't this what the world is all about? If you don't covet him, everyone will covet him! If not, then no! "
"Although I, Yi Kuang, am greedy for some silver, brother, don't worry. The project of handing over to brother will guarantee your quality …" But if I don't do it, aren't these projects cheap for outsiders as well? "
"Those bunch of grandsons, they're all subcontracting!" "Every layer is covered in skin. In the end, you also spent money, and you don't even have the quality of the work, so it's even more harmful …"
"Brother, don't go …" Don't be angry! Can you give me half of those projects? "
"Give me the expansion of the barracks and the project of patrolling the night grass shed!" It's only 1560,000 silver, isn't it? "Give it to brother, I'll take it …"
Yi Xuan no longer had the strength to refute, he was so infuriated by Yi Kuang's twisted logic that he turned around and left, while Yi Kuang chased him from behind!
Many officials had already seen the performance of the two princes and could faintly hear their conversation. Many of them sighed and shook their heads, thinking to themselves, just how many years do we have left?
Yi Yeyu didn't care about the 600k silver, what he was thinking about was how to deal with the situation in the future!
Today, he was clearly going to win all of them, but he was stirred up by Ceng Guofan. The old marshal used his little finger and pulled the situation that he had created with so much effort!
This kind of person was truly terrifying. He really wanted to kill him!
Although there were only a few thousand old soldiers of the Xiang Army that Ceng Guofan had brought over from Zhuozhou, but he did not dare to do so.
But since you dared to take action, then there's no need to think about it anymore! Jiu Shuai was waiting for an excuse to rebel!
Who would still have the face to be a high ranking official? He didn't want it anymore. Since he couldn't beat him, then he had to make peace and go and make up for it!
He had to retrieve the torn mask today. Thinking of this, he quickly trotted over and gave chase!
Great Marshal Zeng's body could not take it anymore, two-thirds of the time in this meeting was spent with him being bestowed a special privilege, he could not even hold on!
This morning, it was the old farmer who helped him to comb through his Qi and blood with his inner force. After that, he smoked a few large smoke cannons before suppressing the pain in his chest and abdomen!
This half a day's time had long ago exhausted all of Ceng Guofan's accumulated strength. At this moment, the old farmer and little eunuch Sura were walking eastward with the Great Marshal on either side!
Now that the three of them were leisurely walking past the Danzhi Stone which was behind the Preservation Hall, Yi Kuang quickly took a few steps forward and quickly caught up!
"The commander-in-chief has ordered that the Forbidden City should be ridden on a palanquin. Why should we be walking? "Why didn't you bring the horses over?"
Ceng Guofan turned around and saw that it was the Prince Kung, so he quickly stopped and smiled, "Your Highness … This is a trap for this old official! The right to ride in a palanquin in the Forbidden City, could it be that it includes the right to sit in a palanquin in the Yangxin Palace? "
"Hehe …" "Since the start of the reign of the Ancestor, the privilege of riding on palanquins in the Forbidden City has only been limited to the Eight Banner Imperial palace. With this privilege, the Han people will have to wait until the era of the dryad …"
"However, if I were to bestow the right to ride on a palanquin, I would be able to roam around the Forbidden City casually? Is the Prince bullying my senility? "
"The imperial household has their own internal system. If any officials who have the right to ride in palanquins enter the palace from Donghua Gate, they will have to dismount from the palanquins outside the Scenic Gate. The palanquins and horses will have to be stored in the Arrow Pavilion!"
"If an official enters the palace from Xihua Sect, he will have to dismount from his horse in an alley outside the sect, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then walk into the Military Intelligence Service and the inner palace!"
"Am I right? Prince … "If the officials were to enter the palace through the gates, they would have to place the sedan chair outside the gates. This is the rule; the rule that has been left behind since the founding of the kingdom!"
"If this old official remembers correctly, isn't it a crime to forbid people from riding a horse when Heshen fell? That Heshan was arrogant and despotic, riding his Divine Pet all the way from the Shen Wu Men to the Imperial Garden! "
"I've heard a lot about the matters of the past when I was in the capital!"
Yi Yifan flattered on the spot and blushed, "Why is this old thing so hard to fight against?" But he still had to endure, for now, he, General Evil Six, was not prepared to fall out with the Xiangjun Group!
He waved his hand to let little eunuch Sura retreat. He took a step forward and actually supported Ceng Guofan with his left and right arms as he accompanied the old farmer in the direction of the Scenic Gate!
Ceng Guofan did not hold back, and allowed Yi Nan to get involved, this scene immediately shocked all the officials who were trying to spread out, all of them were staring at the unbelievable scene in front of them!
Yi Yu sighed and said, "The marshal should wear more. Although this black wolf skin cloak is not bad, but it's definitely not as warm and windproof as a bear skin …"
"I have a good Black Bear Skin. I'll send it back to the marshal later …" "You have to take care of your body."
Ceng Guofan smiled and did not decline, "Thank you for your bestowment! This subject is sick, so I don't mind … If this empire is sick, then we must hurry up and treat it! "
Yi Yu quickly followed up with Ceng Guofan's words, "That's right, the Great Marshal knows! This king will also not hide the truth from the marshal. In fact, this king has no objections to the reform plans of the His Majesty! "
"I should reform the Qing Dynasty and learn how to make industry in the West... But His Majesty is too young, and such a great innovation is not something that someone of his age can bear! "
