0215 Prince Gong
When Young Master Meng saw the history of the late Qing Dynasty in modern times, sometimes she hoped that Prince Gong could replace Xianfeng!
Young Master Meng guessed that if Xianfeng had not ascended the throne and became the emperor, but Prince Gong became the emperor, China's history would probably have been very different!
If Prince Gong becomes the emperor, can he change the fate of the Qing Dynasty's overthrow? Young Master Meng can't say it well. After all, it is difficult for such a large country to change anything with the power of one person, especially because there are too many behind. However, Young Master Meng guessed that it might be able to accelerate the process of China's industrialization and modernization. In short, Prince Gong's replacement of Xianfeng is beneficial to the country, which is certain!
If you only look at it from the perspective of losing the throne, it is just a personal misfortune of Prince Gong. However, after a few hours, it is not enough to miss the throne. Those who sit on the throne by mistake are delayed by the great affairs of the people of the world. However, when you feel this way, the country has become increasingly difficult to return or is terminally ill, and even towards destruction. Ω Please ∮Read the bookWw∮W∫.

For example, the Great Qin Empire, under the rule of Qin Shihuang, the world was unified, which finally formed a unified whole, and various policies were deepening step by step to various fields. However, just as Qin was moving in a better direction, Qin Shihuang was seriously ill on his fifth tour. After Qin Shihuang's death, Zhao Gao persuaded Hu Hai to threaten Li Si and fake Qin Shihuang's edict, and Hu Hai inherited the throne.
In fact, Qin Shihuang always focused on cultivating his eldest son Fusu. Fusu lived up to his father's expectations and was deeply loved by the people. However, when Qin Shihuang suddenly passed away, no one expected that Fusu not only did not become the emperor but lost his life. The reason why Zhao Gao passed the throne to Hu Hai was because Hu Hai was unable to control him easily, so he monopolized the power. Soon Hu Hai brought a Great Qin Empire into a dead end, and it became inevitable to perish.
The Qin Dynasty was a little far away from now, so the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, also had emperors who were capable but had no chance, but had no chance. For example, when the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, died suddenly, and had not had time to establish a crown prince. When the emperor passed away, there were two people who were qualified to be emperors. One was Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge. At that time, he had already commanded the army and was intimidating the side, and he had already grown up. Please read ∮book Ww∫W∮.

The other is Huang Taiji's younger brother Dorgon. He is not only resourceful, but also good at leading troops to fight. Later, when the Qing army entered the pass and entered the Central Plains, he saw Dorgon's extraordinary wisdom. However, neither of these two people eventually became emperors, but gave this position to the six-year-old prince Fulin, who was later Emperor Shunzhi. However, Emperor Shunzhi was not only young, but also weak and sickly, and lived only twenty-four years old.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, all his princes received good education from childhood, and could govern the country with culture and martial arts. No matter who became an emperor, they would govern the country well. Yongzheng finally stood out from his brothers and ascended to the throne of the emperor. He knew in his heart that some brothers had to live by themselves, and they were not very convinced in his heart. So he used the power in his hands to either encircle, exile or kill, thus clearing the obstacles on his way forward for his control of the imperial power.
It would be nothing if Yongzheng was just afraid that his brothers would not accept it. After all, he really used his actions to let his subjects see a qualified emperor. He worked diligently for the people all his life, and there were very few in history. He played a very important role in the inheritance of the Kanggan prosperous era.
But in the Xianfeng period, this emperor actually chose the wrong person!
Emperor Daoguang was also optimistic about the fourth son Aisinjueluo Yizhu, who was later Emperor Xianfeng, and the sixth son Aisinjueluo Yixin. However, Yizhu was very good at showing in front of Emperor Daoguang. Later, Emperor Daoguang also appointed Yixin as the prince while conferring Yizhu as the crown prince. It can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Daoguang, the two sons were equal.
Later facts proved that Emperor Xianfeng, who was incompetent and petty, had really sat in the wrong seat. During his tenure, the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace left by his ancestors, and from then on, Qingming continued to decline. He died after only eleven years of reign.

Although the truly outstanding Prince Gong Yixin tried her best to assist the Qing Dynasty in her life, she did not gain the trust of her brothers. Especially after the death of Xianfeng, Cixi used Yixin's power to eliminate the eight ministers and stabilize her status. After that, she kicked Prince Gong Yixin away with excuses. Although she was full of confidence and talent, she was depressed and unsuccessful throughout her life. She had the talent of the emperor, but she had no emperor's will and was a slave for others all her life.
Young Master Meng had a slight fond of Yi Xin in his heart, but because of Zhilin, his fondness was also wiped out. Therefore, Young Master Meng was basically indifferent to Yi Xin. He had never thought of getting involved in the struggle in the court. He just wanted to make money safely, accumulate wealth to a certain amount, build his own heavy industry, make money, get people, and form an army!
The cute young master has no feelings for Yi Xin, but Yi Xin has a lot of feelings for the cute young master!
On the one hand, Yi Xin is here to take a look at this legendary child prodigy! The child who can interest Yi Xin is probably the entire Qing Dynasty, which is just a cute young master.
Yixin has a medium figure and a dark face, which is inconsistent with the image of a prince, but Yixin is not ugly, especially her eyes are very murderous. The cute young master believes that if someone is chosen to come to Yixin, Chen Daoming is more suitable, hehe.
However, Chen Daoming is much more handsome.
Li Hongzao saw that behind Yixin was Jing Lian, Zhilin, and a bunch of subordinate officials. The seventh prince, fifth prince, Baoyuan, Wenxiang and others who usually followed Yixin were not there. He guessed that Yixin might have come to his mansion temporarily.
Young Master Meng knew Zhilin about the people around Yixin, and sighed inwardly that he was really in dispersed. I was in Tianjin, Zhilin was in Tianjin, and I went to Beijing, and you Zhilin also went to Beijing, and I was going abroad in Ming Dynasty! You Zhilin wouldn't you go abroad with you, right?
When Li Hongzao saw Prince Gong arrive, he hurriedly placed Yue Meng in a seat next to him and greeted her.
Prince Gong said with a graceful demeanor: "Mr. Li, congratulations, I accepted a proud closed disciple. The name of a prodigy in Tianjin has spread throughout the Qing Dynasty."
Li Hongzao smiled slightly, "Prince Gong is too good, Yuemeng is just a little bit sensible than ordinary children. There are still many places to learn. Yuemeng, you have come to see Prince Gong."
The young master hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Hello, Prince." The young master doesn't like using Manren's style. What auspiciousness, Antai, etc. He just uses a good word, but it's very useful now. Even Li Hongzao has never corrected his point.
Prince Gong Yixin smiled and said, "Okay, it's true that it's worthy of its reputation." However, he did not kneel down to Xuan Yuemeng, and was very unhappy.
In fact, Yi Xin came to see Li Hongzao, of course she would not just meet a child prodigy. He had other things, but he had no close relationship with Li Hongzao, so he could only take advantage of this opportunity to come.
Since he came, Li Hongzao treated Yi Xin and his group with courtesy and asked him to sit down. The main table was originally intended to sit casually according to Li Hongzao's intention, but Prince Gong could not be casually there. He was not second-grade or above and was not qualified to sit, and even Zhilin was not qualified. Zhilin's father Jing Lian was the first-grade, so that was possible.
Xu Tong, the Minister of Rites, also arrived. After the death of Wuren, Qingliu appointed Li Hongzao and Xu Tong as the emperor. Li Hongzao was of great importance and had a deep experience. Xu Tong was willing to be under Li Hongzao.
Li Hongzao asked Prince Gong to sit down, "Prince, please sit down, I can't figure out what's wrong today? I don't have a post? I just wanted to have fun with my neighbors, why did Lord Xu come too?"
Prince Gong smiled slightly: "The visitor is the guest, and everyone wants to drink Lord Li's wine. Lord Li's wine is not a well-informed person and will never drink it for the rest of his life."
Li Hongzao smiled bitterly. He was frugal and low-key all his life. Even if he celebrated his birthday or some major marriages, he would handle it in a low-key manner. There were indeed very few people in the court who could drink his wine.
Li Hongzao stood up to welcome Xu Tong, and he was very surprised, "There is no invitation here? Why did even Lord Xu come? Just accepting a disciple, how can you afford it?"
Xu Tong smiled and said, "I have a sharp nose. I smelled the fragrance of Lord Li's wine!"
Although Li Hongzao is a little pedantic, he is not stupid either. He knows that there must be something to tell him.
Li Hongzao is receiving Xu Tong, and Zuo Zongtang is here too!
As soon as Zuo Zongtang arrived, Li Hongzao knew what was going on.
Li Hongzao knew that the major thing the court was about to discuss recently was that the Russian army captured Yili. As early as the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Tsarist Russia reached an informal agreement with the Aguber regime, and agreed not to interfere with each other's actions and gave each other the right to enter and pursue fugitives. Soon after that, Tsarist Russia waited for an opportunity to invade two Karens west of the Horgos River, controlled the Tex Valley in the upper reaches of the Ili River, and continued to carry out armed provocations. In July of the ninth year of Tongzhi, the Russian army occupied Mount Muzarte, shaking the throat of Ili to southern Xinjiang. In the tenth year of Tongzhi, (1871) In early May, when Tsarist Russia took advantage of Agubé to occupy Urumqi and invaded east, he sent Gorpakovsky to lead his troops to enter and attack Ili in large numbers. On May 17, he captured the nine cities of Ili and nearby areas. He then set up officials to divide the government, immigrate and cultivate, and colonize the Ili area. At the same time, he sent troops to expand everywhere, controlling the western part of the Junggar Basin starting from Tacheng, Emin River in the north, and to Jinghe (now Jinghe) to Kurkalawusu (now Wusu), and infiltrate other places!
