At this moment, in the imperial court, the Han warlords have collectively supported Emperor Tongzhi's reform plan, and the moderate reformers such as Qing Sanye, a descendant of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, have also clearly stated their support for the emperor!
The Manchu royal family was frightened out of their courage by this night of killings. No matter whether they were convinced in their hearts or not, they had to nod in agreement!
The fence-sitting faction in the imperial court has long seen the foreign guns in the hands of the new Yulin army. They can make any changes they want, as long as their salaries are paid as usual!
In the end, the Confucian Qingliu faction is left. What can people like Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao say? They are all people who are proficient in history. They see the change in the balance of power today and see it in their hearts!
Without saying a word, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy also kowtowed and praised him!
At this moment, Zai Chun's heart was churning like water boiling in a pot. He was shaking with excitement. This was the first time that he saw the entire court supporting him so collectively!
"It turns out...it turns out that the taste of centralized monarchy is so sweet! It turns out that it feels so refreshing to have everyone listen to me..."
When Er Mao saw that Zai Chun was about to lose his composure, he quickly walked over and whispered, "Your Majesty! Hold on still...Prince Gong and Prince Chun haven't expressed their stance yet!"
Hiss... Zai Chun thought that it was indeed the case. With so many forces in the court, Prince Gong was considered a big faction!
What is Xishan Camp? Eight Banners Warlord? The Manchu and Qing armies that broke away from imperial control? You must know that since he returned to the capital, the officers and soldiers of Xishan Camp have not yet declared their allegiance to him!
We have not yet reached the point of complete centralization of power, we cannot raise our tail, we cannot raise our tail!
"I feel so relieved, I feel so relieved! My dear friends support me so much, I feel so relieved!"
"But I have not yet taken charge of the government. If there are major matters, I still have to ask the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Wang to make decisions... Without the double seals of Yushang and Tongdaotang, my industrial plan will not count!"
"I will wait here for news about the two uncles Wang and the Queen Mother!"
You still have to have the necessary attitude. After all, Zai Chun is not married yet, so he is not an adult according to the law! But he is not worried about this scene!
The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces should have figured it out at this moment. There is nothing we can do about the general trend. You, Zai Chun, have already relied on foreign countries to rely on your own self-respect and learned how to use foreign forces to fight. This is difficult to fight!
There is no need to worry about the two Queen Mothers. It depends on the attitude of Prince Gong and Prince Chun. If these two uncles object to it life and death, then the lawsuit will have to continue!
But don't be afraid. If Yixin and Yixin are determined to go against Zaichun, then he will have to face the revenge of the entire capitalist force alone!
Being enemies with all the capitalists in the world is not a fun thing!
"Come... Da Sixi, please go and invite the Queen Mother Yizhi. Ermao, please go out of the palace and invite Prince Gong and Prince Chun... I'll be waiting here at the Gate of Supreme Harmony!"
"Ministers, please work harder! There have been such big changes in the capital, and there are many things to discuss... Let's discuss Anmin first!"
Da Sixi trotted towards the Yangxin Hall, while Er Mao led the guards and hurried away towards the Meridian Gate!
There was no room for idleness in the remaining time. Zai Chun really felt a bit like an emperor at this moment and began to issue orders step by step!
"No matter what the cause of today's incident, it is also rude to the Chinese! The sneak attack on the Imperial Hospital and the killing of my people cannot be over! Send an order to the Prime Minister's Yamen to immediately send a diplomatic note of protest to the Chinese!"
"We, the Qing Dynasty, reserve all rights to retaliate! When necessary, we must invite envoys from many countries to mediate together. We must not allow the Chinese to continue to be so rampant!"
"Even if the head of state is my master, I will always be the emperor of the empire when it comes to major matters concerning the state!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Regardless of whether Zai Chun was telling the truth or not, at least his attitude was quite firm. It was a step for the people to calm down their anger!
"Second, Deputy Prime Minister Fu Qing listens to the order!"
"I'm here!" Fu Qing quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"After today's court meeting, immediately put out a notice to reassure the people, allowing you to temporarily publish a batch of Qing Times. You must clearly explain the end of today's events to all the people, let alone demonize the airship and make the people fearful!"
"I obey the order! I will do it when I get back, and in the first issue I will publish Lord Long Live's strong protest against the Chinese people. Let the people of the world know that Lord Long Live supports all people!"
Zai Chun nodded and praised in his heart. He likes courtiers like you who can figure out what's best for you. I asked you to run a newspaper just so that you can put the blame on others and give the credit to the emperor!
Have understanding! Not bad, not bad, I am optimistic about you!
"Prime Minister Bao Jun listens to the order... You are responsible for investigating the entire process of the attack case, and you need to find all kinds of witnesses and physical evidence... This will all lead to a lawsuit against the Chinese in the future!"
"By the way... there is another task. You have to lead people to collect all the Chinese bullets and shell casings on the battlefield, including those from the bodies of the dead!"
"I want to use statistics... I want to see what kind of special operations this is!"
Baojun received the order and kowtowed. At this time, Zaichun turned his attention to the fifth master Yigui. He smiled and said, "Fifth uncle! There is a big thing that needs to be handled by you!"
When Yi Pei heard that he also had a mission, he quickly raised his chest, raised his head, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty has received the decree!"
"Tonight's bloody battle, the Xishan Camp, the Nine Gate Admirals, and the city defense battalions all suffered losses... The casualties of the Xishan Camp will be counted by Prince Gong and others, but the casualties of our Manchus..."
"Fifth Uncle! Let me tell you clearly, nephew, you have to do this...because you are the King of Chivalrous People, you have the best reputation in the capital, and you can control all the Eight Banners!"
"I ask you to count the dead and disabled...and work out a reasonable pension and compensation system. Don't let the whole family feel disappointed!"
"I also know the tempers of those people in the Eight Banners family...they are all very messy, so you are the only one who can control them!"
The fifth master looked embarrassed and chewed his teeth and said, "Hey... this, this, this... Your Majesty is saying that these big families with the same surname are all very good, and they are all related..."
"It's okay for men... I'm just afraid of old ladies... They're so powerful, even if I'm a prince, I can't do it. I'm really scratching my face..."
"Fifth Uncle! It's up to you to handle this matter... It's something that even you, the King of Heroes, can't handle, let alone others! Those who can do it have to work harder..."
Yi Pei was still enjoying the compliments, and when he saw the emperor praising him, he gritted his teeth and accepted the job: "Your Majesty, I have something to say before... The nobles of the Eight Banners are all relatives of the Tian family, and their lives are very precious!"
"Compensation can only be more, not less... They have a high vision, and they will be angry when someone in their family dies. Less money will really not settle the matter!"
Zai Chun snorted coldly, "Fifth uncle, just go and do it! The money is easy to handle... I will fight the lawsuit with the Chinese to the end! I have to get the compensation and burial money from the Chinese!"
"I don't believe it anymore. Do the Chinese people really control the sky with one hand?"
No matter whether what the emperor said was true or not, or whether he could fulfill it, the ministers already felt warm in their hearts if he had this attitude!
The Qingliu people were the first to kneel down. Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao quickly bowed their heads and praised, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, long live my emperor!"
Amidst the praises, Zai Chun then began to give orders!
