"My lords, I'm sorry. The Queen Mother asked her servant to come and bring a message to the Long Live Lord. I'd like to thank you for your kindness..."
At this moment, Zai Chun was helpless. The complicated situation made his breasts hurt. With the Queen Mother's rescue, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
Zhou Daoying bowed his head and saluted, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Your Majesty! Everything the Queen Mother wants to say is on it. Please take a closer look..."
Zai Chun took the note and looked at it. His eyes lit up immediately. He saw a line of delicate small words written on the note, 'Not deaf or blind, not a family man. Urgent matters lead to chaos. Just wait for Xiao to come to Beijing and Zeng will recover!' '
"Ah? Master is going to Beijing? At this juncture?" Zai Chun asked in a low voice. Zhou Daoying nodded and whispered, "Yes, Mr. Qing just sent a telegram from Tianjin. The head of state did not stay and knew that Mr. Long Live is here." Something happened, the boat only stopped for an hour and it’s here!”
A warm current surged out of Zai Chun's heart. The previous unhappiness towards the master was diluted a lot by the warm current. In his mind, Xiao Letian was his rock, and in his heart, there was nothing that the master could not accomplish!
Ci'an's reminder was too important. She stopped Zai Chun's emotions in time. After all, he was a young emperor. Although he was courageous, he was still a little impulsive!
In today's situation, what many people want is for him to be impulsive. The more you act, the more trouble you will cause!
Not deaf or blind, not a writer! Zai Chun chewed this sentence three times in his heart, and the unknown fire really gradually faded away.
"Okay! I already know what you're going to say, Lian Xing. Just quit the class!"
Lian Xing was stunned. He didn't expect that the little emperor could remain calm under such teasing. He thought to himself, what exactly was written on the note?
Zhou Daoying just muttered something, why didn't he hear everything clearly?
In Lian Xing's mind, the angry Emperor Tongzhi is not scary, but the calm Emperor Tongzhi is scary, which makes him feel as helpless as punching cotton with his fist!
"Yes, I'll stand down...but I still mean it. The people who caused the rebellion have already taken out the explosives. We can't do it without arresting them!"
"If you let it go, where will the royal authority be in the future? Your Majesty, please think about it!"
In the end, he even sprinkled a handful of maggots on purpose to make people disgusting!
Zai Chun took a few deep breaths and said, "My lords! I invite you to be an official, not just for the sake of being an idiot, and you can't just let me make the decision on everything!"
"Now that Lord Lianxing has come up with his opinion, what do you and others have to say? How should we deal with it?"
Everyone looked around and no one dared to speak. Zai Chun smiled, "No one speaks? Then I will call the roll call! Uncle Qi, what's your opinion?"
Yixuan hurriedly walked out of the class and said, "I neglected my duty and failed to take care of the public security in the capital. I cannot escape the blame for this! Your Majesty, please fire Xiao Wang. These nine admirals have great responsibilities. Please choose another one." A worthy minister!"
After saying that, he crawled on the ground and buckled his head!
"Hey, Uncle Wang is giving up his job? What about Fifth Uncle? What do you mean..."
Yi Pei hurriedly left his job and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have been at Xishan Camp last night. I used my head to ensure that all the officers in the Xishan Camp were present... I don't know what to do if such a big thing happens this time!"
"But for the sake of precaution, I still have to conduct an interrogation of the Xishan Camp! To be honest with Your Majesty, Gordon remains in the military camp and is leading people to count weapons and ammunition at the moment!"
"I don't have any great abilities... I can only serve as a watchdog for His Majesty!"
"Well! Fifth uncle, thank you for your hard work. You can take care of the Xishan Camp without causing any trouble. You have done a great job!"
"Master Weng, Master Li... you two are well-read and sensible, how should we handle this matter?"
Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao also left work and knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty! You can't create a big prison! Next month will be your wedding day. The day of universal celebration has made everyone in the capital panic. This is really unlucky!"
"There is no possibility that all the people on both sides of the Qinghe River will revolt. Many of them are just instigated by thoughtful people. Your Majesty, please take your time to find the culprit. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be lenient!"
"Prince Qing! Prince Li! What do you mean?"
Yikuang has been keeping his tail between his legs lately. He has hardly been in court since Yixin claimed he was ill. When Zai Chun asked him about government affairs, how could he answer it, but he was still very clever in flattering him!
"Your Majesty! I am ignorant and incompetent, and I really can't make any great sense... But I just feel that a slave is a slave, and baring his teeth at his master is not okay!"
"Anyway, the Zhuangzi I am in Qinghe must be dedicated to the emperor. If I go back today and do nothing else, I will first gather all the people in my Zhuangzi together!"
"Anyone who went to Lijiaqiao to gather last night will not be spared lightly! I will serve you according to the family law..."
Prince Li also said angrily, "Yes, you can't be lenient! Not only these unscrupulous slaves need to be punished, but also those nine admirals need to be punished... Look at my son being beaten!"
There was a room full of people talking about yours, and others talking about theirs. Some said they wanted to implement benevolent government, and some said they wanted to build a big prison. In the chaos, no one said anything to the point!
Zai Chun looked at these courtiers who were like chickens and ducks, and felt annoyed in his heart. He carefully thought about what he would say if the master were here.
One thing is for sure, if Xiao Letian were here, he would definitely not just talk about the superficial aspects of the case. The master would break it into pieces and dig out the underlying factors that led to this incident!
He will also point out his mistakes directly, and he will hit the nail on the head and show no mercy!
The master is very strict, but he will never be too conciliatory!
"That's it! You are tired, and I am tired... That's it for today! Prince Chun, don't say anything about resigning and not doing anything! This matter is your end, and the interrogation still has to be left to you! "
"All certified evidence of last night's conflict will be transferred to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. The case will be handled as it should be handled!"
"But the construction plan of the Capital Iron Works cannot be changed! Haha... Aren't they all attacking the Yulin New Army? It's easy to handle. Starting from tomorrow, the Xishan Battalion will allocate 2,000 people to both sides of the Qinghe River. Prince Chun, you will cooperate with the Ministry of Works to measure the land!"
"The original battalion heads of the capital are from the Shanpu Camp, the Tiger Spear Camp, the Firearms Camp, the Jianrui Camp, the Shenji Camp... Each battalion head takes turns to remove soldiers to cooperate!"
"I have heard everything clearly... Whether the land acquisition incident last night was severe or lenient, it all depends on my thoughts, but there is one big principle that will never change!"
"Then this iron factory must be repaired, and the industrialization of the Qing Dynasty must be carried out! If you want to stop it, let me try!"
"Back off!" Zai Chun roared, causing all the ministers to tremble, and then walked away!
