Zai Chun was mentally prepared to make concessions, but not today, not now. His majesty as emperor could not be challenged just because a group of people kowtowed.
Is the emperor still afraid of threats from you people?
At this moment, the Yangxin Hall was also in chaos. Many princes and ministers secretly looked at their pocket watches. Knowing that the time was almost up, they sneered at the corners of their mouths.
At this time, there were eunuchs and guards running around hurriedly outside the Yangxin Gate. Running in the palace was very particular. You must have something important to do before you can run, and you can't make a sound.
The more this happened, the more depressing it felt. The frightened expressions on the faces of the eunuchs and guards could not deceive anyone. Everyone knew that something must have happened.
Soon the ministers discovered that Prince Dun Yigui had also detoured from Meiwu, ran directly across the screen wall and rushed out!
As soon as Yi Pei walked around the screen wall, he found Prime Minister Fu Qing running quickly towards the military aircraft under the leadership of a young eunuch. He chased after him and asked, "Third brother... why are you going?"
When Fu Qing turned around, Prince Dun did not dare to hide anything and whispered, "The telegraph office sent a top-secret message. Only the code on my body can decipher it. It said that it must be sent to me immediately..."
"The Military Aircraft Department doesn't dare to neglect and can only come to me. I have to go and have a look... Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Stop talking, the bannermen on the other side of Jinshui Bridge are starting to kowtow. I have to go and suppress it. If you have something urgent, please ask the eunuch to send me a copy..."
"Come on, hurry up and go..." The two parted ways at the military aircraft office, and Fu Qing went directly to the telegraph room!
Since the telegraph network became popular in the Qing Dynasty, a telegraph room was set up in the Forbidden City, located next to the military aircraft. From then on, the emperor had one more channel to rule the empire.
It is indeed very beneficial to have a telegraph room. Local governors and spies from the imperial court can quickly transmit news from the outside. The old method of blocking communication by the bureaucracy in the past does not work.
The telegraph room was located next to Li Tuo's room. When the third master ran in, Li Tuo put down his pen and peeped secretly inside the door frame, his eyes rolling around as he didn't know what he was thinking.
The Third Master didn't have time to chat with these post-writing Zhang Jings. He took the telegram and newspaper handed to him by his men and said, "Everyone, get out!"
His subordinates did not dare to neglect and immediately exited the room and closed the door. Fu Qing took out a book as big as a child's hand from his arms, opened it and began to compare it with the garbled codes to decipher it.
The General Post Office of the Qing Dynasty was a yamen established by Fu Qing. It was the product of the reforms that the imperial court entrusted the entire Qing postal network to Fu Qing!
In the process of reforming the postal station system of the Qing Dynasty, Fu Qing obtained many true biographies of Xiao Letian. He did not lay off employees in a big way, but retained all the postal mail staff in the past, and even added new ones. Recruited a group of direct descendants!
Use these people to start building the telegraph network of the Qing Dynasty! Because no one's job was destroyed, this reform seemed to cost a little more money, but it was rare that no one restrained it!
Having no one to cause trouble is actually the biggest cost reduction, which many people don’t understand!
Fu Qing was very attentive and very smart. He knew how important the telegraph system would be to the empire in the future, so when the telegraph network was established, he also secretly left an intelligence network under Fu Qing's direct management for the little emperor.
In almost every city and every post station, there are some postmen who also serve as agents. They keep an eye on local officials and other changes at all times, and then report to the capital at any time with a unique password.
The person who controls all of this is Qing Sanye. This system does not cost much resources and has little execution ability. He is just a pair of eyes!
He can discover local crimes but has no ability to intervene. Because he has no hands or feet or a violent agency to enforce the law, he can only watch and report to the superiors.
But having such a pair of eyes will be of great help to Zaichun in governing the country. Many emperors in history were actually blind men in the palace, fools who let their officials be deceived!
Such a telegram seems simple, but it is a hole, a breathable skylight that Mr. Qing tore from the shady officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. This is not easy!
The code was quickly translated. In fact, sweat started pouring out of his forehead just halfway through. By the end, Mr. Qing's hands were trembling.
He folded the translated telegram and hid it in his sleeve. He did not go out directly but smoked a cigarette to calm down. At this moment, the situation was beyond his imagination.
"How could this happen? How could this happen... How does this please Your Majesty?"
The third master was frightened, and Prince Dun was also confused. As soon as Yi Pei crossed the Jinshui Bridge and came to Tianjie, he saw a group of people in Wuyang and Wuyang. It was so dark that they couldn't see the end of the Daqing Gate.
Not just two thousand, not even three thousand! The kidnapper horses formed three walls of war horses to stop the bannermen. Behind them, the new army of the Royal Forest took out all the antlers and blocked the Jinshui Bridge!
Several officers of the New Imperial Army were holding tin trumpets and shouting at the top of their lungs, "Back off... everyone back off... No one is allowed to attack the Jinshui Bridge, otherwise they will be shot..."
"You are breaking the king's law! This is the first time I miss you. Go back home as soon as possible... and forget about the past!"
"Let's break up... let's break up, young and old... don't make it difficult for me, brother..."
But no one listened to these shouts. The older men in front all had white beards. He pulled open his fur and exposed his skinny chest, "Shoot! If you dare, shoot... wu wu wu... the emperor doesn't want us." Now, what’s the point of us living!”
"Long live my lord...please listen to what the Eight Banners are saying...will you come out and meet us poor people?"
Yi Ping was so angry that he rushed over and grabbed a tin speaker and shouted, "Fart! Yi Lian, are you a pathetic person? Is there a pathetic person like you wearing black wolf skin?"
"Your family has twenty-six eighteen-year-old concubines. Are you already seventy? You are so shameless, how dare you say that you are a poor person?"
Oops, this is Yi Pei’s generation! It’s just that it looks like it can’t be further away!
When people saw that Prince Dun was coming, they became even more excited. Yi Lian took the lead and walked a few steps, using his kneecaps as feet to rub forward: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... You have to persuade the Emperor... You must not give up our flag." People!”
"What is this going on? The Emperor has been brainwashed by the Han people. The Emperor is still young... He can't tell the difference between closeness and distance. Can't you tell the difference?"
"We are all a family. If we don't treat each other as one family, why should we take advantage of outsiders?"
The crowd suddenly started shouting, "Xia Wang...Fifth Master...Xia Wang...Fifth Master..."
Two to three thousand people chanted slogans rhythmically, putting pressure on Yi Pei. Prince Dun stamped his feet anxiously, "Shut up! Where is this place, what kind of nickname are you shouting? Shut up..."
"You are the chivalrous king of the Qing Dynasty! You have to speak for your relatives..."
"The Tenth Route Chief did not kill anyone, so he is not worthy of death! The world belongs to the banner people, and it is reasonable for us banner people to be corrupt!"
"It's just that one of my relatives took advantage of some of my relatives... Can this still be a capital crime?"
