Chapter 164 Guangxu: I think I can do it again
At the end of the imperial meeting, Yu Shimei stepped forward resolutely and surprised the officials present.
Many people have raised eyebrows. For an academic administrator, the content must be related to education. What opinions can he have?
Guangxu suddenly felt a tremor in his heart at this moment. Could it be that Li Qiwei was back?
He now knows everything about Li Qiwei, and naturally knows that he has returned to China and lives in Guangzhou.
Guangxu looked at Cixi and found that she had no reaction, so he said, "Yu Aiqing, if you have anything to report."
Yu Shimei took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "I just heard that the Queen Mother Regarding the issue of education reform, he pointed out the current shortcomings and took the lead. "
"Weichen suddenly became enlightened and enlightened."
"Weichen is an academic in Guangdong. Although he has dull qualifications, he dare not. Talking about major issues of education reform.”
“However, our Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant talents, and there are many talented and intelligent people with unique insights into education.”
"After Wei Chen took office in Guangzhou, it happened that His Majesty ordered Li Qiwei, the Vice Minister of Management and Education, to personally appoint him. The other party asked me to bring an outline of education reform."
"Please read it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor to reassure people. "
"Wei Chen privately believes that Li Qiwei is a learned person and is qualified for the position of deputy minister of management. "
After that, he held the materials in his hands and waited quietly.
When the ministers in Dongnuan Pavilion heard Li Qiwei's name, their expressions changed slightly and their expressions varied.
Even Yuan Shikai narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that one of his supervisors was Li Qiwei's eldest brother.
Perhaps this can be used to summon Li Qiwei.
He already knew from the foreign instructors that Li Qiwei had a huge reputation abroad.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is much bigger than his name Yuan Shikai.
However, everyone present knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi did not like Li Qiwei and called him a monkey.
Therefore, the scene fell into silence, and no one dared to whisper anymore.
After Cixi took the book from Li Qiwei, she opened it and flipped through it at will.
Unexpectedly, this time, my heart was shocked.
Li Qiwei's excerpt is completely different from the excerpts she usually reviews. There is not a long paragraph of nonsense at the beginning, nor any empty words.
The number of various schools, number of courses, etc. are all given in concrete numbers, which is convincing.
Unlike other ministers, who can always have tens of thousands. If you ask him how much it is, he will hesitate.
Cixi will definitely not read it all, but just from this quick glance, you know that Li Qiwei has the real thing.
In fact, she neither liked Li Qiwei nor disliked Li Qiwei, but she didn't care at all.
Had it not been for Guangxu’s strong recommendation before, Cixi would not have been able to remember who Li Qiwei was.
The one who can be remembered in her heart is at least at the level of Yuan Shikai.
Today, however, Li Qiwei's name left a deep impression on her.
If the officials of the Qing Dynasty reported on national affairs like him, then government affairs would be smoother, clearer and easier to understand.
Damn those oily old guys, they all use non-stick pans, they only think about how to protect themselves instead of solving the problem.
Cixi was a little angry inside.
“Go and show the book to the emperor.”
After speaking, Li Lianying walked carefully to Guangxu and presented the book.
Guangxu was already excited at this moment.
The Queen Mother did not speak after reading Li Qiwei's excerpt, which means that at least there is no problem.
Otherwise, Chrysostom would have opened his mouth and completely denied it.
After he opened the booklet, he originally thought that Li Qiwei was just talking about the education situation abroad. After all, that was where he studied.
The result was completely different.
The more Guangxu looked at it, the more shocked his expression became, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked his heart became. In the end, even his fingers were trembling.
Great, so well written.
This is a good discount!
Li Qiwei’s educational reform outline has clear ideas and clear goals, and also breaks down specific tasks into steps.
It can be said that based on this memorial alone, the officials below knew what to do.
At this time, Guangxu felt as refreshed and refreshed as if he had drank iced watermelon juice in the summer.
He shouted crazily in his heart: Have you seen it? Have you all seen it? This is a great talent that I can only discover with my sharp eyes.
Guangxu felt that he could do it again.
The previous reform failed miserably, but the facts proved that there was nothing wrong with his vision. What was wrong was the court and the person who dared not say anything.
No wonder the Queen Mother said nothing. She must not have been able to find anything wrong with Li Qiwei's excerpt.
Because no matter how you look at this book, it is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and is very beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.
Although Guangxu was extremely excited inside, there was no expression on his face.
He just smiled lightly and said: "I think this memorial is very good. All you dear friends can circulate it to each other and take a look."
After saying that, the little eunuch first handed the memorial to him. Prince Qing Yi Kuang.
Yikuang frowned slightly. He had heard Luo Fuyu mention this name before, but he didn't take it to heart.
But today is different. It seems that both the Queen Mother and the Emperor are very satisfied with this Li Qiwei.
Yikuan was very afraid of the Han elites. In his heart, these Han ministers always thought about how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and how they could do the best for the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, although Yuan Shikai was responsible for organizing and training the new army, he, Yi Kuang, was the official responsible for guarding against Han officials from taking over the military power.
Nowadays, figures like Li Qiwei have emerged in the field of education, which makes Yikuang feel a sense of urgency.
But no matter how he looked at it, Li Qiwei's memorial had no selfish motives and was indeed for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
The other party even took into consideration the issue of thought control.
Completely different from those rebels who secretly established various societies among the people.
Yikuan wondered, could this Li Qiwei really be a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty?
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. In the final analysis, it was just education, and he did not have real power, so it had no substantial impact on the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
Yuan Shikai is the one who needs to focus on.
Since training at the small station, this person has gained increasing prestige in the new army and must be guarded against.
Yikuan analyzed it in his mind, returned the memorial to the young eunuch, and then passed it on in turn.
After Yuan Shikai read it, a smile appeared on his lips. He was indeed a talent in Western learning.
Based on this excerpt alone, he could tell that Li Qiwei definitely did not just hang around for a few years abroad, but had conducted an in-depth study of the foreign education system.
He greatly appreciated this.
The most important thing is that Li Qiwei is a Han man, so he can use it with confidence.
Yuan Shikai was interested in recruiting Western talents like Li Qiwei.
Even if you serve as an adviser to yourself, you won’t be blind to foreign affairs in the future.
Yuan Shikai always felt that he had been cheated by the weapons and equipment purchased from Germany, but he did not understand.
People say that the materials are different and the performance is different, but you can't verify it.
No one in the Qing Dynasty knew how to distinguish different materials. This was the field of science and technology, and it was the shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty.
As a result, Yuan Shikai became more interested in meeting Li Qiwei.
Then Ronglu, Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin and others read it one after another, all silently approving in their hearts.
Obviously, Li Qiwei’s reform outline has been unanimously recognized by the big guys.
Because he has not harmed the interests of the big bosses, and it is also beneficial to the country, why not do it.
As for Li Qiwei’s proposal to establish an academic department, it is reasonable. Even the Commercial Department is about to be established, so there should be an academic department as well.
However, many officials at the bottom still complain a little in their hearts.
Especially in the traditional six-department system, their power is getting smaller and smaller now, and they have all been taken away by the new departments.
The key point is that these new departments are on the same level as the six departments and cannot interfere with each other.
Soon, all the officials present had read Li Qiwei's excerpt.
Guangxu looked at everyone's expressions, and finally a clear smile appeared on his face.
"Everyone, do you think Li Qiwei's suggestion can be promoted?"
"I think that he can be made the acting deputy minister of management first, and then make a decision after the academic affairs are finalized. . ”
“I know that many of you have opinions about Li Qiwei, thinking why he can take on such a big responsibility at such a young age.”
"But the British Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Sir Sir Daoyi, once said to me that with Li Qiwei's achievements, if he were British, he could even be the Minister of Education."
"Corresponding to my position in the Qing Dynasty, that is a This shows that Western countries attach great importance to him."
"Such a talented person resolutely returns to serve the Qing Dynasty. How can I not reuse him?"
The ministers below looked at Guangxu. The people above were talking eloquently, but everyone had their own thoughts in mind.
Some people think that the emperor has started to lose his temper again and feels that he is capable again. It seems that he is still unwilling to give up on the reform.
However, Li Qiwei's statement today did allow the emperor to show some authority. After all, he recommended the person.
The struggle at the top is never about playing tricks, but about your real achievements.
Prestige is something that is gradually accumulated after accomplishing one major event after another.
If you are unable to do anything, even if you are an emperor, you will not get the sincere support of your ministers.
Of course, there are some people who just sit on the sidelines and do not express their opinions or participate.
What happened a few years ago is still vivid in our minds, and no one knows what will happen next.
Despite the emperor's high spirits now, if he really angered the queen mother, he would probably end badly.
So, when it comes to Li Qiwei, many people just watch the show on the sidelines with the attitude that it doesn't matter to them.
Education is its own system anyway, and there is no interaction with them.
However, in the eyes of real bosses such as Yuan Shikai, they saw something unusual.
The emperor seemed to have changed, becoming strategic, courageous, and forbearing.
The situation in the court is moving in a confusing direction.
Not caring about what the ministers thought, Guangxu even said very humbly at the end, "Please ask my dear father to decide."
Cixi was already quite satisfied with this plan, and now it was just for the emperor A smooth favor shows that she is only listening to the government, not a dictatorship.
"Emperor, you can make the decision."
Guangxu was overjoyed and immediately asked Yikuang and other New Deal ministers to deal with the matter immediately and continue to advance the New Deal.
The ministers shouted: "Congratulations to the Great Qing Dynasty, the Queen Mother is sage, and your Majesty is sage."
Thank you [20206726] for the reward
