Chapter 189: Temporary Departure (I)
There was no horseback riding, no sedan chair, followed by Qian Laoba with the dazed Wang Wu, Li Dacheng walked a few laps around the outer city along the Dongbian Gate, and the injuries on his body began the final stage of recovery.
The Jingshi in the snow is still a bit of the atmosphere of the Heavenly Empire, once there is no snow, the Jingshi at this time is very tattered, although it is a little antique, but it is the tone of brokenness.
Potholed dirt roads, dilapidated houses, dilapidated city walls, no rain, snow, fog and frost, the current Jingshi is a depressed scene, although there are reasons for the Boxers, but the poverty of the people under the Qing court is the main cause of the depression.
After turning for more than half an hour, getting into the carriage at the Chongwen Gate where the city tower was burned down, Li Dacheng signaled Qian Laoba to go back to Baylor Mansion, after the peace treaty was signed, the old ladies wanted to return to Luan, Gui Shun's affairs, and the old ladies would not have a conclusion until they came back, Li Dawei wanted to wait for the old ladies, but he asked Gu Qixing the time for the old ladies to return to Luan, and the old Gu said that it would take three or five months at the earliest, and it would take one year or two if it didn't get it right.
Time, for Li Dacheng, is still precious, and waiting for a year in Beijing is a waste of life, not only his own life, but also the lives of many people.
At this time, for Gui Shun, although it is a critical period, as long as the dark thoughts of some people before the old ladies return to Luan, Gui Shun should be fine here.
Guarding Gui Shun's safety, with Li Dacheng's current physical condition, is a joke, and it is also very difficult for him to deal with a few ordinary people. Let's not talk about fighting killers.
made suggestions, he was the same as if he was not there, and after taking a turn in the outer city, Li Dacheng also had a plan in his heart, before the old ladies came back. He decided to leave Beijing for the time being.
The three eastern provinces are bitterly cold and there are still anti-Russian battles fighting, and the body that is healing can't stand the labor over there. The scale of the launch is too large, and it is not beneficial, so Li Dacheng decided to go to Shandong in the near future and take advantage of the time when the old ladies returned to Luan. Simple layout in Shandong cloth.
Returning to Baylor Mansion, he chose a hundred relatively reliable ghost head knives that had experienced the war, and arranged Gui Shun's defense work, this Li Dacheng is also very good, I believe that with his own arrangement, at this time, it is difficult for anyone to break through the cordon he set.
Li Dacheng's abrupt action made Gui Shun feel a little inappropriate. Although he already knew that the two would have a farewell, Gui Shun felt that it was not now.
"Second master. Are you leaving? ”
Withdrawing from the people around him, Gui Shun asked with some sadness.
"What? Have you taken a fancy to Lao Tzu?
But I can't look down on you! ”
Although it was just a temporary farewell, Li Dacheng did not say it explicitly, Gui Shun always had to face some things alone, and he would not be able to rely on his heart.
"Get out!
I haven't heard from my stomach yet! Our grandfather's fortune can't let you sleep in vain! ”
Gui Shun mentioned Wanru. Li Dacheng also rolled his eyes, after coming down from Jinmen. I walked several times back and forth on the ghost gate, and I had to walk hard before January. Not to mention playing with women.
"I'll go out for the time being, I'll have to come back before the old lady comes back."
This time for the time being, Li Dacheng didn't plan to take the girl like the Sun family, this time he went out, just to go to Shandong.
"Where to go?
Don't tell Lao Tzu that it's the three eastern provinces, I heard that the Yongying camp over there is competing with Lao Maozi!
Your body bones are not good yet, at this time, the three eastern provinces, you can freeze when you pee, do you want to die?
It's like you can't get pregnant, and you are not allowed to go anywhere! ”
Gui Shun's mouth of the three eastern provinces Yongying, is just the imperial court obscure statement, the real fight with the old Maozi road guard, most of them are the three eastern provinces of the rivers and lakes, only because there are a lot of Yong battalion soldiers scattered during the previous invasion of Tsarist Russia, so there is a Yong camp and Lao Maozi to compete.
Li Erye's fierceness is not afraid of death, Gui Shun has seen it, and now Li Erye is the pillar of Guibeile Mansion, in case he goes to the three eastern provinces and has another accident like Jinmen, Gui Shun feels that Li Erye is not so good at life, and he can fight for his life with Lord Yama again and again.
"I'm not going to the three eastern provinces, I'm going to Shandong this time, and I plan to take root in Jiaoao in Shandong in the future."
With part of the Zhenwei army to take root in Jiaoao, Li Dacheng did not hide from Gui Shun, and he couldn't hide such a thing, before, when he sent Qi Shiduo to the front line of Jiaolai, Li Dacheng told Gui Shun about such an arrangement.
"To Shandong? Going to Shandong?
Second master, don't go during this time, I heard Lao Gu say, during this time, we not only have to keep our eyes on Taoguang, but also have to travel cautiously, and the eyes of the entire Qing Dynasty are on us!
Attack, we're not afraid! But I'm afraid that some people will take risks!
Normally walking, you can't lead troops, in case you ......"
Gui Shun's safety, Li Dacheng thought about it, and Gu Qixing also thought about it, now is a critical period for Gui Shun, and there are many people in the Qing Dynasty who don't want to see Gui Shun on top.
Before the old ladies come back, these people still have a chance, with Gui Shun's power now, no one can bring him down in the officialdom before the old ladies come back, the road of officialdom is not going through, the assassination may not be successful, once Gui Shun is dead, no matter how large the scale of the Zhenwei army is, what is the use? There is no one in the court, it is a rootless wanderer.
As Li Dacheng thought, Gui Shun also has such an idea, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, Li Erye is the pillar of Guibeile Mansion, once Li Erye falls, Gui Shun knows that he is not far from bad luck, once he is unlucky in this position, it will definitely be a catastrophe, Li Erye is going to travel to Shandong at this time, Gui Shun must not be at ease.
"It doesn't matter! Some time ago, Wang Yongqin has officially taken over the errand of the river governor, and the first thing to do about the agreement is to reopen the canal, and the winter is the dry period of the canal, and it is natural for Wang Yongqin to inspect the river at this time.
Besides, when the old ladies return to Luan, they still don't know which way to go? If we take the canal, something goes wrong at this time, it is not good for our plan. ”
Others don't know the whereabouts of the old lady Luanjia, which doesn't mean that Gui Shun doesn't know either. According to the news from the eunuchs in Shanxi, it is said that the old ladies want to go to Henan this time.
Although this is not certain, but some things would rather be believed or not, in case the old ladies take the canal through Henan when they return to Luan, and the canal is not smooth. No matter what the reason is, the first unlucky one is Wang Yongqin, which is also what Li Dacheng does not want to see, and it is not easy to pull a courtier who is obedient.
The governor of the river is not a petty official, and he is not inferior to the governor of several provinces from the outside of the first product, since the silting up of the Grand Canal. The vacancy of the governor of the river was returned to the governor of Caoyun, and after the caoyun stopped a few years ago, the governor of Cao also became a decoration, and then the so-called river governor could only manage the rivers in the north. The Yellow River has continued to burst over the years, and the title of the governor of the North River has been diluted step by step, and he has become a direct official who only manages the Haihe River Basin.
At the time of the Jingu War, Li Dacheng and Gui Shun temporarily pushed Wang Yongqin to the vacancy of the governor of Beihe Road. After Gui Shun's request, the old ladies nodded, Wang Yongqin's current position is vacant. is not the governor of the North River, but the governor of the river, the chief officer of the North and South Caoyun, the original Governor of the South River, the Governor of the North River, and the Governor of Caoyun, the three big hats from the first grade or the second grade, are all buckled on Wang Yongqin's head.
Once the Grand Canal, the Yellow River, and the Haihe River began to be rebuilt. The hat of the governor of the river on Wang Yongqin's head is much more expensive than that of ordinary governors and governors.
Don't say anything else. Let's talk about the deposed Governor of the South Rivers! It has jurisdiction over four provinces, twenty-four halls, and twenty-four battalions, and the provincial hall is an official. Yingpan is a soldier, the future governor of the north and south rivers, and a great overlord between the north and the south!
Who wouldn't look down on such a hat? Once the battle begins, the battle situation will inevitably be tragic, and taking advantage of the old lady's return to Luan, pull Wang Yongqin down, and those people in the secret may not be able to do it.
"Wang Yongqin?
I remember, it was this old boy who gave me a general map of the north and south rivers.
Damn it! People give gifts to ancient paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, just this old boy picked the door and gave Lao Tzu a river map, I still want to let him go down? ”
How many people are under his own hands, Gui Shun must not know, Wang Yongqin's current position should be the highest authority under Gui Shun, and it is also the most promising for development in the future, Wang Yongqin sent a general map of the river, it may be that there is no money, or it may be that it has no meaning, but Gui Shun is not clear.
gave Gui Shun a sharp white eye, Li Dacheng carefully told Gui Shun about the power of the future river governor, Gui Shun still didn't feel cold, in his opinion, what a provincial governor, when the dynasty is a product, fart is not just a goods, during this time he opened his mouth, promised too many three or four grade vacancies, in exchange for the benefits are naturally countless.
"If you plan to get the law, the North-South Canal, the Yellow River, and the Haihe River, the annual income will be millions of taels of silver, maybe tens of millions."
Gui Shun didn't listen to the reason, Li Dacheng said interests, and when he talked about interests, Gui Shun's eyes widened.
"Didn't you say this earlier? That Wang Yongqin couldn't succeed, he didn't have an eye for gifts, so he changed him! ”
For the officialdom Gui Shun has no thoughts, for the money, his mind is not small, although it does not cost much, but looking at the room after room of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and treasures, he is happy!
Thinking of the river map that Wang Yongqin gave him, he was angry, what a thing, something without eyes.
"What did Lao Gu say about this?"
Shook his head helplessly, Li Dacheng didn't have much to say, the current Gui Shun had no intention of officialdom or the Qing court, he was only obsessed with scraping the ground, which was a good thing for him, but it was not a good thing for the Qing court.
"Lao Gu said that Wang Yongqin still has this qualification, before he was a three-grade idleman, and then he became the governor of the North River in Zhili, and then he was the governor of the river, which is enough to qualify!"
Speaking of this, Gui Shun is no longer confused before, these are what he must remember, to top people, you also have to look at seniority, in the imperial court, you can't instantly push a Bai Ding to the position of the first product of the dynasty, let alone the first product of the dynasty, even the vacancies above the sixth grade are impossible, unless the impostor.
If you don't understand this, Gui Shun will have no way to make money, and what will affect your money, Gui Shun cares a lot.
"Then let him do it!
Wang Yongqin has no property, if he wants to sit firmly in the position of the governor of the river, he needs silver, you give him a million official tickets, let him play up and down, a good man and three gangs, without the support of a group of people, he can't sit in the position of the governor of the river. ”
Wang Yongqin and Zhou Frame, the two officials of the water conservancy mouth, Li Dacheng not only has an impression, but also understands their roots, Wang Yongqin is sleek, but he has no way before, although he has a grade that has been boiled out of qualifications, but no matter how high the grade of the idle difference is, it is useless, so he can only mix it with psychological comfort.
Zhou Frame's life is as poor as Wang Yongqin's, but Zhou Frame is a very upright person and quite angular, such a person is destined to be buried in the Qing court.
The post of river governor, Wang Yongqin to do it alone, is not good! The two of them are just right! Wang Yongqin is responsible for the top and bottom, and Zhou Frame is responsible for technical management, which is the perfect cooperation.
You need silver to make a point, and in the battle of Jingu, Cao Yun Li Cheng has someone doing it, Wang Yongqin naturally has no oil and water to fish, so let Gui Shun give him some silver to dot up and down, which is also necessary at this time.
"What? Shall I give him silver? Pay back a million taels!
Dick, are you talking nonsense? ”
Who did Wang Yongqin rely on? It's not him Gui Beile, Gui Shun has only heard of the lower officials giving filial piety silver to Shangguan to make some relationship between the upper and lower levels, and he has never heard of Shangguan giving filial piety to the lower officials and letting them take care of the upper and lower levels.
"How much silver do you have now?"
How much silver Gui Shun has in his hand, Li Dacheng didn't count, but before and after, he took a lot of antiques from Gui Shun and sent them to Shandong, and also gave him five or six million in silver, how can you get seven or eight million silver tickets, during this time, Gui Shun and Gu Qixing pushed some people to the position, and also made a sum, one million is not a lot of money for Gui Shun.
"There are too many to count! No matter how much we can't spend like this! My second master! (To be continued)
