In the evening, I changed into formal clothes and asked everyone in the Military Affairs Office. It was Weng Tonghe's birthday. Those people were indeed from the Weng Party. I called Kou Liancai and copied a post as a gift to Weng's house. I went to Weng's house with calligraphy. I practiced the memorials every day, and I practiced them well. I thought that if Cixi was resurrected at this moment and asked me to write the three words Summer Palace, it would be worse than Weng Tonghe, but it would be worthy of the eyes of the Fang family.

The Weng family is located in a place called Prime Minister Hutong. Needless to mention the high gate courtyard, there are countless roadside frames, so it is a Heke from Weng's Mansion. Weng Tonghe used a Han official as the leader of the military aircraft, and was also two generations of imperial teachers. Naturally, the old students and old masters could not count. I think those people I saw in the restaurant today must be here.

Kou Lian took the lead and went to Weng's house to report: "The emperor is here, and all the guests kneel down to welcome him!" In an instant, the noise was suddenly restrained. I walked in and smiled and said, "Get up. Today is Teacher Weng's birthday. I am scattering the guests. Little Kou, I will present my birthday."

Everyone stood up and looked at Kou Liancai, all trying to see what kind of gift the emperor gave him.

Kou Lian took out a scroll, handed it to Weng Tonghe and said, "Mr. Weng, this emperor's imperial pen, Lord Weng can hang it."

Weng Tonghe looked at me, saw me nodding slightly, and took the scroll with trembling body. He opened it on his own and saw that it was the four words "Liang Fu Liang Bi". The four small characters below: Guangxu Imperial Pen.

Weng Tonghe looked at me, and knelt down with excitement. Looking at the hall of tears, I couldn't speak. I thought, when will I not convince people's hearts at this time? So I took a few steps forward and helped Weng Tonghe up and said, "I don't say anything to me on my birthday. Although the country is a great devastation, the teacher's birthday is still to be done." Seeing that he was shocked, he knew that these words must have scared him, so Zhan Yan said, "Teacher doesn't need to worry. If a censor impeaches me, I will refute it."

He said that he turned around and looked at the guests and said, "This year, the country has a great sorrow, but I can't help but marry people. Today I will add a decree. This grace will also be extended to the officials of all sizes. But the royal family still needs to uphold it."

"Thank you for your kindness... the old minister... I am worthy of this banner..." Weng Tonghe pointed at my banner and said.

I shook my hand and said, "Master Weng is good at learning and character. I have much regret for your teachings, but I am loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Master Weng also wants to give others some way to walk, such as Li Hongzhang Yung Wing Wenting and others. If Teacher Weng has any ideas about me in the future, he can tell me privately, but he will give me some face in the court, can he?"

These words were soft words. How could Weng Tonghe be ignorant of being polite? He immediately thanked him and introduced the important guests to me one by one.

The Minister of Revenue Lishan, the Minister of Personnel Xu Yongyi, Wu Dacheng, Sheng Yu and others were all on the list. There were also a few people I met this afternoon, and Zhou Yi and Zheng Wenzhuo were all here together, and they were greeted one by one.

However, a young man with a humble expression beside Kuang Zhouyi was quite graceful, but when he rolled his eyes and raised his hand, he was quite handsome, which attracted my attention and favor. Weng Tonghe did not introduce him. When he walked away, I asked and answered, Liu Guangzhi, the head of the Ministry of Justice. Well, I was careful.

Rong Lu was still sitting in the main seat. Weng Tonghe was a little embarrassed when introducing him, but the glory of the emperor's presence today burned his vanity to the extreme, and he did not realize that Rong Lu had the same embarrassment on his face.

Humph, Ronglu, you are really good at seizing the powerful...

I had no intention of listening anymore, shook my hand to Weng and said, "Master Weng, please have fun. I am just here to celebrate my birthday today, and there is no need to disturb everyone's interest. I will talk to you tomorrow." Then, I whispered: "Tomorrow, I will find a time to bring Zhang Jian and Liu Guang straight to see me."

After saying that, he ignored Weng's suspicious gaze, turned around and left.

When I returned to the palace, I found that I was vaguely worried about something... Yes, what I was worried about... was the convergence of the diehard and the Qingliu school. Because I currently valued the Westernization School, the two sects naturally had to form an alliance to survive. This is why I immediately wanted to return to the palace when I saw Dao Ronglu appearing at the birthday party of Wengmen.

Lying on the bed, an internal supervisor asked me who I wanted to order, but I waved my hand and refused. How should I deal with this situation?

Hey, differentiate and attack, strengthen surveillance. I made up my mind that tomorrow, I would make two more important decisions. I looked at the sky and it was not too night, so I ordered people to go to Xuan Prince Su Shanqi to enter the palace. Yes, I would use him to command the intelligence system. As for his loyalty, I could believe it, and he was also a very reasonable person. Later, Wang Jingwei failed to assassinate Zaifeng, because he understood Wang's motives and patriotism and protected Wang. Cixi had no great grace to him before, and of course I had not offended him. This can be seen from his position when he seized the palace.

Of course, this is also a risk. Using a prince to command the secret intelligence system will often lead to another pole in the royal family. Therefore, I have to find someone to control him and supervise him. I have already thought about this person, Liu Guangzhi, one of the six gentlemen of the Reform Movement in the future. As for the expansion of the future, I have to ask Liu Guangzhi to be responsible for it. It is best if Tan Sitong can join. In that way, I can basically ensure that this intelligence system only serves the emperor and will not become another pole in the royal family.

First of all, the first step to establish this intelligence system is to monitor dangerous people like Ronglu. Although perhaps he is just seeking an advancement level now, I cannot guarantee that he will not have the intention of rebellion.

After thinking, Shanqi came. Shanqi was not old and looked very smart. This is one of the reasons why I chose him. Only when I am young will not be too stubborn, and I will easily accept new ideas. Secondly, it will be easy to work with young people like Liu Guangzhi and there will be no major conflicts of ideas.

When I saw the gift, I asked him to sit down. He looked a little restrained. I smiled and greeted him and said, "Does Shanqi have any errands now?"

Shanqi smiled and shook his head and said, "I have been merciful a few years ago and have been in the Chongwenmen tax supervision for several years. Later, I was exempted."

I was stunned and asked questions.

Shanqi continued, "Hey, a slave is not as good as a front and rear, he can exploit money and send it to the inner palace..."

I smiled and said, "So that's it, it's a bit like Yimo Beile. Well, I'm still asking you for so late. I don't have much gossip about my wife at home, right?"

Shanqi smiled again, and the atmosphere calmed down. Shanqi shook his head and said, "Slaves serve the emperor and cannot tolerate women interrupting."

I said, "I know that you are talented and have a good character. I have a great job to give you. It depends on whether you want to." After that, I stood up and looked at him suspiciously.

Shanqi immediately knelt down and said, "But with the emperor's order, the servant will never refuse."

"Okay!" I clapped my hands and said, "Get up and talk. I am worried that my relatives and nobles of the Qing Dynasty are seriously corrupt and abused the law. I am willing to do it strictly, but there is no trace to follow. For example, Li Lianying's successor to the matter, Yi Li's affairs, accepting bribes, and making friends with bandits. I hate it deeply..."

"The Emperor wants..." Shanqi looked at me in confusion.

"I want to strictly handle these bold slaves." I slammed the table and said, "I intend that you will establish the Royal Purgatory. You serve as a minister. Then I will draw some loyal and patriotic young people from the Ministry of Justice to supervise these slaves slowly. Although corruption and abuse of power, we must punish them, and we must be dependent on foreign countries and conspire to rebel, we must punish them even more. You can do it as soon as possible. If there is any shortage, please report to me, the Ministry of Internal Affairs provides you with all your expenses. I will announce you to discuss this matter tomorrow. Shanqi, are you willing?"

"I will never refuse to die. This is the achievement of the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. How can I stay out of the affairs?" Shanqi knelt down and received the order.

I smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go back, I have disturbed your sleep, and it will be difficult for you to have a peaceful sleep in the future. Haha--"
