"Back to the big handsome, the humble position will always be your loyal subordinate, that is just a piece of the emperor's kindness, and the humble position will never dare to do this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Rong Lu didn't feel relieved when he heard this, and said that you Yuan Shikai haven't been bold enough yet.
However, Rong Lu still doesn't know what the emperor talked about with Yuan Shikai, in fact, Rong Lu summoned Yuan Shikai back to ask Yuan Shikai about these situations, but Rong Lu was embarrassed to ask Yuan Shikai directly, so Rong Lu decided to capture the old man, he said to Huai and Xu:
"I heard that Lafayette has been in a lot of trouble with the emperor recently, and I also heard that the emperor wants to be unfavorable to Lafayette, you two are in the capital, have you heard of these things?"
After Rong Lu finished speaking, he hurriedly glanced at Huai and Xu, and Huai Tabu and Xu Yingqi knew that Rong Lu asked them to agree, but they really hadn't heard of the emperor's desire to be unfavorable to Lafayette, and now since Rong Lu told them to say yes, they said yes.
"The two of us have definitely heard of it in the capital, and this matter is very troublesome, but I don't know if it's true or not, but it's always good to prevent it before it happens, and Lafayette should deal with it as soon as possible."
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way to protect Lafayette." After Rong Lu finished speaking, he leaned back on the Taishi's chair.
As the saying goes, "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart", Rong Lu, Xu Yingqi, and Waitabu made up a phone call like a thunderbolt in the sky to Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai muttered in his heart: Could it be that they already know about my conversation with Master Tan, this is impossible? I was with Master Tan that night! It can't be a secret that Lord Tan told me! This is absolutely impossible.
But what do they mean? Do you want to test my faithfulness? Yuan Shikai felt that it was time to give it all up at this time.
"Go back to the marshal, there is something important to report for your humble position." After speaking, he looked at the guards around him.
Rong Lu was happy in his heart, and the fish automatically took the bait! He saw Yuan Shikai's eyes and knew that Yuan Shikai didn't want the guards to know, so he quit all the guards and said:
"Do Lord Xu and Lord Huai need to be avoided?"
"Lord Xu and Lord Huai are also loyal to Lafayette, so there is no need to avoid it!"
"Okay, now there are only four of us left, you can just say it!"
Yuan Shikai first took out the holy oracle given to him by Emperor Guangxu from his arms to kill Rong Lu and handed it to Rong Lu. "Marshal, please take a look at this first."
Yuan Shikai looked at Rong Lu's face intently as he handed it over, as if he wanted to see something from Rong Lu's face.
Rong Lu took the oracle steadily, but he didn't look at it first, he knew what Yuan Shikai meant by staring at him, he wanted to see his inner activities from his face.
He handed the oracle to the two adults, Xu and Huai, who were seated on the right, while looking at them casually.
Xu Yingqi, Waitabu and the two hurriedly unfolded the oracle, but the two of them didn't look at it, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, and their faces turned gray.
Rong Lu saw all this in his eyes, and he speculated from Yuan Shikai's attention to him and the expressions of Huai and Xu that it might be unfavorable to himself or Lafayette, so he said to Xu Yingqi and Huaitabu:
"What's all the fuss, show it to me." Rong Lu said to Xu and Huai casually.
"Lord Rong, this is a ...... the emperor wants" Xu Yingqi wanted to say the next sentence, but he found that Rong Lu had waved his hand at him and signaled him not to continue, so he closed his mouth.
Rong Lu took the oracle from Xu Yingqi and Waitabu, and looked at the content of the oracle casually, without the slightest expression on his face. In fact, Rong Lu couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
But after all, he is a veteran who has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he understands very well that Yuan Shikai is looking at the psychology of delay now, so he pretended to be calm and suppressed the fear in his heart.
However, this is what Yuan Shikai didn't know, he was surprised to see that Rong Lu didn't show any fear, and what was even more surprising was that Rong Lu said to him at this time, "While the guards are not there, you can do it now." ”
"Dashuai, you will never dare to be lowly, and you will never mean that." Yuan Shikai hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"The emperor is so good to you, why do you still betray them."
It's a very difficult question to answer, but you are not allowed to think about it.
However, Yuan Shikai was finally smart, and he quickly said:
"The emperor is good for his humble position, he is actually trying to woo me and want to drag me away from you. Thinking that Lord Xu and Lord Huai are loyal to Lafayette, and for the sake of the country, they were actually dismissed from their posts by the emperor, isn't it the emperor's fault?
The emperor did the opposite, and wanted to drag me over as their own funeral companion. For this perverse behavior of the emperor, I believe that Lafayette and the marshal have long been dissatisfied with this, but only for the sake of the monarch and ministers, the marshal did not act rashly.
The reason why the humble position accepts this secret edict from the emperor is actually limited to the status of the monarch and the minister! Look at the handsome Mingjian. ”
This remark made Waitabu, Xu Yingqi and Rong Lu sitting on it quite useful. Xu Yingqi and Waitabu were happy that some people praised them as heroes who defended the country; And what Rong Lu pays attention to is that you Yuan Shikai and I have learned very well.
After listening to Yuan Shikai's words, Rong Lu knew very well in his heart that Yuan Shikai would never dare to do those things, that is to say, Yuan Shikai came to him today to inform, which was actually equivalent to turning the chips to him.
However, Rong Lu now has a desire to know who wrote this secret edict.
"Do you know whose idea this edict was?"
"I don't know that this secret edict was handed over to me by Lord Tan who rushed to my residence on the night of the third day of the eighth month. Moreover, when the emperor received me on the first, second, and third days of the eighth lunar month, he did not talk about this aspect. ”
Rong Lu knew that he couldn't ask anything, he turned his head and looked at Xu Yingqi and Waitabu and said:
"Two adults, I wonder what you think?"
Xu Yingqi and Waitabu glanced at each other and said, "Lord Rong, we thought that the adults should go to the Summer Palace and report to Lafayette as soon as possible to see what Lafayette does." ”
"Okay, that's it! I will go to Peking at once tonight, to Galeries Lafayette, and you and the Comfort Court will take more than 1,000 people to the capital tomorrow morning to wait for orders. ”
After Rong Lu finished the order, he immediately took a few entourages and got on the train that had been prepared for the capital.
By the time Rong Lu arrived in Beijing, it was already midnight. Rong Lu didn't stop and rushed to the Summer Palace immediately after getting off the train.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was in a very good mood because she watched the play today and played a few games of chess against Li Lianying. In this case, the Empress Dowager Cixi was always willing to go to bed early, so when Rong Lu arrived at the Summer Palace, the Empress Dowager Cixi had been sleeping peacefully for a long time.
