Red Alert 1895: Chapter 595 Rectify the court Part 1

In Beijing, most people are still living a peaceful life, because there are Taiwanese troops on the front line resisting those foreign invaders, so the people in Beijing are living a peaceful life without too much chaos and crowding. 『≤, but now Wang Guorui is here looking at the huge Qing court and is preparing for some rectification. Because the palace is too big, enough for them to be very many. And if there are no mistakes according to the records, there should be more than 1,900 court ladies here, and there are quite a few eunuchs like eunuchs. In this way, Wang Guorui couldn't help but sigh that this life is "too crazy".

"How many maids and eunuchs are there in this palace?" Wang Guorui asked.

Li Zhanfeng, the director of the attendant room next to him, immediately said: "There are a total of 1,923 court ladies in this palace, and there are more than 2,000 eunuchs in addition. These are all servants in the palace. Next, Mr. Wang, do you want them to serve you?"

"No, I don't need so many people. Besides these guys, who knows if there will be any people who are loyal to the Manchu Qing? If they are still loyal to the Manchu Qing, then we will be in trouble. If the secret is leaked or Simply, if they have any idea of ​​assassination, that would be bad. However, you can call some of them, and I want to announce something!" Wang Guorui said.

Li Zhanfeng immediately asked the staff in the attendant room to inform the various **** leaders of the original palace, and let them come to Wang Guorui. They all looked at Wang Guorui one by one, obviously not knowing what to do. After a while, someone finally responded.

"The slave kowtowed to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" A **** said proactively.

And the others too listened to the words, and couldn't help cursing secretly, this opportunity was taken first, and those who were standing just now also knelt down and shouted long live, and then it was obviously for Wang Guorui, the "new emperor", to prepare for it. Sworn allegiance. However, Wang Guorui didn't trust them, no matter how they shouted long live. Wang Guorui also ignored them.

"Okay, you don't need to be too polite here. It's meaningless for you to do so. However, I haven't proclaimed myself emperor yet. Don't make such a fuss so quickly." Wang Guorui said.

"Yes, yes, since the emperor doesn't like it, then we should change our address!" said an eunuch.

An **** immediately came to Wang Guorui and asked, "Master Wang, what do you want us to do?"

These eunuchs are not in a hurry. Because they thought Wang Guorui would not clean them up. As eunuchs like them, they are also born to serve others. No matter who becomes the emperor, shouldn't they be served by then? Therefore, most of the people are not too anxious in the future, they think that Wang Guorui should continue to appoint them. And these eunuchs at least won't worry about themselves in this life, and even in the future they will be able to continue to hold real power. Because in their "outmoded and backward" thinking, the emperor always relied on eunuchs to restrain those officials, so they believed that Wang Guorui could not do without him. But they don't know that these are some feudal ideas. Wang Guorui will not do this anymore.

"Now, I have decided to tidy up the court. You eunuchs, maids, etc., we will gradually make other arrangements. In the future, the court will not need so many people!" Wang Guorui said.

"What? Master Wang, you don't need us anymore?" Someone was shocked immediately.

"Yes, there is no need. Our court will not need so many in the future. You eunuchs and court ladies will all be dismissed!" Wang Guorui said.

I heard that I was going to be dismissed. These eunuchs were really flustered. Many of them have entered the palace since they were young. If they can't serve others, then I'm afraid they don't have any skills to make a living. Now, Wang Guorui wants to dismiss them. This made them all feel very shocked, and they didn't know what to do. Moreover, since ancient times, it has been heard that eunuchs and maids will be added, but it is rarely heard that eunuchs and maids will be dismissed. Moreover, working outside the palace, where is there any trouble in working in the palace? and. If you get popular, you can even gain power and become a man of the times!

"My lord, I don't want to leave, I want to stay and serve you, my lord!" A **** immediately knelt down and said.

"Yes! Sir Wang, we know the destiny very well. You are the one who is destined to be the Son of Heaven!" "Yes! Sir Wang, if you don't want us, who will serve those future ladies!"

These eunuchs began to cry one by one, and obviously hoped that Wang Guorui would keep them, but Wang Guorui would not keep them, because these guys were all useless guys, what did Wang Guorui do by keeping them? What's the use? Wang Guorui won't keep them in the future. Keeping them is too feudal in thinking and can't keep up with the times. If he lets them follow him, there will definitely be problems. Even, if I let them teach my son, I'm afraid I will go crazy. At that time, if I taught my son the feudal monarchy and ministers, then after my death, my dynasty would be overthrown by the revolution!

Therefore, these old feudal ideas must not allow them to stay in the future court, otherwise they can still deal with it when they are alive, and once they die, my son will definitely finish the country.

"I will arrange some ways out for you, and you can choose according to your own discretion. The first one is to leave the palace to make a living by yourself, but we will give you severance pay according to your length of service. You enter the palace for one month, we A certain amount will be given to you as severance pay. Of course, since you are rootless and have no descendants to provide for your end-of-life care, our new government will also be considerate of you, and you will not be required to pay pension insurance and medical insurance. We will directly Free subsidies can be given to you as new pension and medical insurance, so that you don’t have to worry about pension and medical care when you get old. However, after you retire, you have to find a job and survive by yourself. If you want If we start our own business, then I will not stop us. This method has the most severance pay."

But those eunuchs still didn't give up and said: "My lord, we are all servants. I'm afraid we won't have much to do when we go out. Besides, we will be looked down upon by others, so can you give us another one?" road."

"The second point is that we are going to open some state guesthouses, and you are going to serve as waiters in the state guesthouses!" Wang Guorui said.

"State Guest House?" Hearing this statement, some people were still not satisfied.

Because most of them served the emperor in the past, it is very "proud" to say this. Now he actually wants to serve others, even if he is a foreign guest, he is just an ordinary person, not an emperor! This made them very unhappy.

"Master Wang, is there anyone who can stay in the palace?"

"Yes, we will open the front half of the palace for a long time in the future, that is, the "front court" in the front and back bedrooms. In the future, as long as you are willing to pay the entrance fee, you can come in and visit it. And the consumption of the entrance fee , will be included as an important source of maintaining various facilities in the palace. And these tourists need guides, and some of them can be selected to be guides." Wang Guorui said.

"What? I'm a slave who wants to die, Lord Wang, don't do this! So, does the majesty of the royal family still exist?" "Yes! Lord Wang, if anyone can enter the palace casually, the royal majesty will also be preserved. ?” “Master Wang, no, it can’t be like this!”…

All the eunuchs knelt on the ground, hoping that Wang Guorui would take back this matter that damaged the majesty of the royal family. But Wang Guorui will never take it back, because the road of imperial power will become more and more difficult in the future, and it is not easy to walk on it. In the later 21st century, the royal families of most developed countries also play the card of being close to the people, anyway, they pretend to be close to the people. If someone still deliberately maintains the dignity of the monarch~www.mtlnovel.com~, then you are an idiot who pretends to be incompetent! If the royal family of any country deliberately pretends to be superior in later generations, it will definitely be sprayed. At that time, don't talk about nobleness, people will directly spray you into a pile of shit. Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen, the future monarchy is almost impossible to get through. All countries that follow the monarchy will always be closed to the outside world, and then the whole country will be very backward. For example, a neighboring country next to China, or a certain country in the Middle East, those are also for the purpose of maintaining the monarchy. In the end, the country has no economic development to speak of, and the overall level of the country is very poor.

"Which of these three paths do you choose? You choose for yourself. Anyway, we won't need you in the future, so you can do it yourself." Wang Guorui said.

Then, Wang Guorui asked these eunuchs to convey the meaning of Wang Guorui, the "new emperor", and then those eunuchs were also helpless. Because they used to serve the emperor, but now they have changed their identities, which is quite different. In the past, relying on the big tree of imperial power could completely make many people not be afraid, but now people ignore them, so that they have no majesty to speak of. Now, the change of dynasty has not only changed the fate of the Qing Dynasty, but also changed the fate of many old ideas, and these eunuchs are products of the feudal kingship, so naturally they will not stay. So, let them all leave mellowly, this is an inevitable situation. (To be continued.)
