That night, Gong Ren and Bi Yongnian rested in Tan Sitong's mansion. It is said that it is rest, and no one who worries can not sleep, there is wine and food on the table, but he has no heart to drink and eat, and the bed is covered with bedding, but he has no heart to sleep. Gongren said to Bi Yongnian: "It's too stuffy in the house, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Bi Yongnian also knew that Gong Ren must have something, so he neither stopped nor accompanyed, but just nodded slightly.

Gongren went to the street and found the telegraph office, and immediately sent a telegram to Sun Yat-sen in Yokohama, Japan, in code to report the situation here. Gong Ren didn't dare to leave the place, so he waited at the telegraph office, and after a while, Sun Wen sent a telegram, which read: "The matter is known, because the matter of the transaction is more complicated, it is not easy to make decisions, please ask Gong Ren to deal with it with full authority." ”

Gong Ren already knew in his heart, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Wang Dayan, who was far away near Guangzhou, and the telegram read: "Brother, because there is an urgent need for people in the shop, please send 20 people to Beijing to talk about family assistance as soon as possible." Gong Ren was afraid that he would leave a handle in case of leakage, so he didn't dare to write Tan Fu, but wrote Tan as a talk.

Not long after, Wang Dayan also sent a telegram, which said: "We will immediately take a boat north to assist our brothers." ”

Gong Ren was a little relieved at this time, and on the way back to Tan's mansion, he thought about how to force Yuan Shikai to rebel along the way. He thought about Shi Dakai's anti-treachery plan in the eighth lesson of "Heavenly Tao Strategy", and when he arrived at Tan's mansion, he had already thought of a general strategy.

returned to Tan's mansion, Bi Yongnian, Tan Sitong, and Liang Qichao were all sitting in the house, silent. Bi Yongnian glanced at the interested Gongren with his eyes, and his eyes seemed to say: "Go out for this trip, I want to gain a lot." ”

Gong Ren sat down, took a cup of tea, drank it dry in one gulp, and then said: "Elder brothers, sitting like this is not a solution, I have three strategies, you can see if it is feasible?" ”

Tan Sitong's eyes lit up and said, "Oh, come up with three strategies at once, which three, you might as well say them and listen to them." Liang Qichao looked down on Gong Ren, and said: "There is a plan, and there are three at once, I can't think of any of them, whether it's okay or not, just say it and listen to it." ”

Gong Ren said unhurriedly: "This first article is to assassinate Rong Lu, whether he succeeds in killing or not, he deliberately leaves Yuan Shikai's handle, the purpose is to force Yuan Shikai to rebel." ”

Liang Qichao frowned and said, "I don't understand this, why don't you assassinate Cixi?" Besides, if the assassination fails, Rong Lu sees that the assassin is Yuan Shikai's person, and doesn't immediately go to Cixi to complain, Cixi is furious and kills Yuan Shikai, doesn't this weaken our strength again. ”

Tan Sitong also looked at him suspiciously, but Bi Yongnian was secretly surprised.

Gongren explained: "Why don't you assassinate Cixi, because whether it is in the palace or in the Summer Palace, it is heavily guarded, and it is not so easy to start, and Rong Lu is in Tianjin at this time, and he has engaged in a conspiracy with Cixi, preparing to launch a mutiny and depose Guangxu when Cixi and Guangxu are paraded in Tianjin." I think it would be much easier to assassinate Rong Lu in Tianjin than to assassinate Cixi in Beijing. If the assassination is successful, it will weaken Cixi's strength, and if the assassination fails, deliberately leaving Yuan Shikai's traces, Rong Lu will not tell Cixi. ”

Tan Sitong asked: "Why didn't Rong Lu tell Cixi about this." ”

Gong Ren said: "Research Rong Lu, the officialdom is not so smooth, Xianfeng was a bank treasurer in the household department, and he was almost beheaded by Su Shun because of corruption. I don't know how he used to get rid of this bad luck, and he spent money to buy the rank of alternate Taoist. In the early years of Guangxu, he was promoted to the Ministry of Industry. In the 4th year of Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi tried to choose her own palace eunuch, but Rong Lu played a non-ancestral system, offending the Empress Dowager Cixi. The scholar Bao Ting's speech was full of ministers and errands, but he was also a secretary of the book and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was impeached for accepting bribes and demoted to two levels. In the 17th year of Guangxu, he was promoted to the general of Xi'an. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in the 20th year of Guangxu, he was recommended by Prince Gong, who had risen again, as the commander of the infantry army, who would run military affairs and set up a patrol bureau to supervise the regimental defense of the five cities. In the 24th year of Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu used Brother Kang and Brother Liang to participate in the new policy, preparing to implement the reform. The Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid that the situation would change, so she quickly used Rong Lu, who held military power, and awarded Rong Lu as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, and commanded Dong Fuxiang's Gan army, Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi army and Yuan Shikai's new army.

He knew that it was not easy to get to this point, could he go to Cixi to complain for such a trivial matter? ”

After Liang Qichao heard Gongren's words, he was shocked: "I didn't expect that Brother Gongren knew Rong Lu so thoroughly, even more than I did." Excuse me, Brother Gongren, how do you know these things? ”

Bi Yongnian was also shocked when he heard this, and asked: "You and I came to the capital at the same time, and came to the Tan Mansion at the same time, why don't I know these things?" ”

Gong Ren said: "It's easy to say, that is, when I was free, I took a little look at the briefings, materials, and so on on Brother Tan's desk." ”

Liang Qichao was very surprised and said: "Brother Gongren seems to have the ability to never forget, otherwise, he wouldn't remember so many things." ”

Tan Sitong was overjoyed when he heard this, and continued to ask: "If you want to say so, this strategy has been half successful, but I don't know why this will force Yuan Shikai to rebel." ”

Gong Ren said again: "Yuan Shikai has many ears and eyes, how can he not know about this matter, if he knows about this matter, with Yuan Shikai's scheming, he is really dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering, except for quickly taking refuge in Guangxu, there is no other good way." ”

Tan Sitong shouted and said, "This plan is very good, I approve of it." ”

Now that Tan Sitong agreed, Liang Qichao and Bi Yongnian had nothing to say. The three of them kept looking at Gong Ren, hoping that Gong Ren would quickly say the second plan.

Gong Ren picked up the teacup and drank the second cup of tea, and said unhurriedly: "The second is the relationship between the traitorous Cixi and Rong Lu, the purpose is to create chaos, and we will profit from chaos. ”

Liang Qichao frowned again and said, "Can Brother Gongren explain the point, what means are used to dissociate the relationship between Cixi and Ronglu?" ”

Gong Ren said: "This is easy to do, although Cixi holds the power of the court, but this woman is the most suspicious, now Rong Lu holds the military power, and controls the three armies of Dong Fuxiang, Nie Shicheng and Yuan Shikai, can Cixi not pay attention to him?" We went to the other two armies to liaise and campaign some anti-Cixi things, whether fake or real, to leave some evidence and deliberately disclose it to Cixi, so that Cixi was suspicious, so that our goal was achieved, in fact, this is also a divisive plan. ”

Liang Qichao said: "I understand, you want to use fake movements to cover Yuan Shikai's real movements. But the real purpose was Cixi's suspicion of Ronglu. ”

Tan Sitong patted his thigh and said, "This plan is very good, I agreed." And what about the third one? ”

Gong Ren slowly picked up the third cup of tea.

Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao, and Bi Yongnian looked at Gong Ren eagerly, hoping that Gong Ren would drink the third cup of tea soon.

Gong Ren slowly drank the third bowl of tea, pursed his lips and said: "In the Summer Palace, take advantage of the opportunity of Cixi and Guangxu to enjoy the moon and enjoy the cool to kill Cixi, what a big disturbance it must be!" This is called clumsy but not clever, now Cixi lives in the Summer Palace, I think it is better to attack the enemy in disguise, Brother Tan reconnoiters the situation, we sent a master to disguise himself as a eunuch or a Praetorian Guard to infiltrate the Summer Palace, and kidnapped Cixi, let Guangxu clean up the mess again, so that four taels broke a thousand catties, wouldn't it be more coincidental. ”

Liang Qichao frowned and said, "Why do you have to kidnap it, wouldn't it be better to kill it?" ”

Gongren said: "People are afraid of death, and Cixi is no exception, wouldn't it be better to force her to hand over power." If Cixi dies and Guangxu can't control the situation, won't the world be in chaos. ”

Tan Sitong asked again: "The kidnapping of Cixi in the Summer Palace, you have to be a person with strong martial arts and extraordinary wisdom to be incompetent. ”

Gong Ren said, "If your people are really not good, I have sent a telegram to my family, asking 20 of my brothers to come and follow Brother Tan's dispatch. ”

Tan Sitong forced him to look into Gong Ren's eyes again and said, "In this way, we have changed our big plan, so what should we do now?" ”

Gong Ren said: "Show weakness, show weakness, show weakness, there is nothing more important than showing weakness now, our reformists are now a sick and dead cat, causing a downwind or not moving the situation, waiting for our strategy to succeed one by one, and then suddenly turn over and shine the sword, a sword to seal the throat." ”

Tan Sitong suddenly slammed the table, looked up to the sky and shouted: "God-if these three plans are successful, my Fa change will be done!" Then he knelt down, kowtowed three times to Gong Ren, and said, "Brother Gong Ren, I am all counting on my brother for this change of law." ”

What kind of character is Tan Sitong, if the situation hadn't forced Tan Sitong to be cornered, he wouldn't have kowtowed to the little man Gongren so much! Not to mention that Gongren couldn't bear it, even Liang Qichao couldn't stand it, so he stomped his feet in a panic and said, "This ...... This...... What a system! What kind of system is it? Bi Yongnian glanced at Tan Sitong, pursed his mouth, and said in his heart: "This Tan Sitong, why do you make this big gift to Gong Ren, this bow is enough to worship the lives of Gong Ren's brothers." Panicked, Gong Ren even helped Tan Sitong up and said: "I can't help it!" I can't help it! The toad in the little brother's well has seen how big the god is, and he dares to accept this great gift. Shame on the little brother, shame on the little brother, the brother just said casually, indiscriminately staff, this change of law, you have to count on the eldest brother to get a big idea! ”

Bi Yongnian whispered to Gong Ren: "I can't imagine that Brother Gong Ren is so thoughtful and talented, it seems that I am already a useless person here." I see, I'll leave tonight. Gong Ren hurriedly kept him and said: "Where is it, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and you have to count on my brother!" ”

Bi Yongnian still insisted on leaving, saying: "Hundreds of thousands of brothers in the family are still waiting for me to go back, and I hope that your brothers and brothers will understand." ”

Liang Qichao glanced at Tan Sitong, meaning that since this is the case, why not detain Bi Yongnian, or kill him here, so as to avoid future troubles. Tan Sitong pretended not to see it, but just hugged his fist and greeted Bi Yongnian: "I called my brother to come, my brother came non-stop, without the slightest hesitation, now my brother is leaving, I haven't slept well, I haven't eaten a good glass of wine, so how can I go in my heart, my brother is better to stay for a few more days, and I can check it." ”

Bi Yongnian still raised his legs and walked outside, Tan Sitong had to follow Bi Yongnian closely, followed closely to see him off, Gong Ren and Liang Qichao also followed closely and sent them to the gate.

Bi Yongnian arched his hand to Tan Sitong, and quietly leaned close to Gongren's ear and said, "I persuade my brother, listen to me, follow me, and you can still get your life." Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it. Gong Ren said: "The matter has come to this, whether it is success or failure, you can only fight to the death." How do you know it's going to happen? Bi Yongnian smiled bitterly and said: "My elder brother is not a vegetarian, the plan is a strategy, the facts are the facts, Yuan Shikai and Rong Lu, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Bi Yongnian said to Tan Sitong again: "The plan is a good plan, but it is difficult to implement, I am afraid there is still a certain degree of difficulty, and you must also think about the future road as soon as possible." Tan Sitong arched his hand to Bi Yongnian and said, "I have made up my mind, don't persuade my brother!" He took out some broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into Bi Yongnian's arms, and then arched his hand affectionately to Bi Yongnian again, watching Bi Yongnian gradually move away.

Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao, and Gong Ren returned to the study. Tan Sitong said to Gong Ren: "What to do now, it's up to you." Gong Ren said: "Without further ado, while the night is dark and the wind is high, we will quickly implement the first plan." ”

Tan Sitong nodded, went out for a while, and after about a meal, he called a killer to meet Gong Ren. Gong Ren saw that he was twenty-three or four-year-old and lean, and at a glance he knew that he was practicing martial arts, and he was dressed neatly and neatly, wearing a new army gown on his upper body, but fat bloomers on his lower body, and his face was full of a faint murderous aura.

Tan Sitong said to Gong Ren: "I have already instructed what should be instructed, I don't know what else Brother Gong Ren has to order?" ”

Gong Ren knew that it was inconvenient to ask the name of the killer, so he just said to him: "I don't know how you can leave Yuan Shikai's handle?" ”

The man said: "I am wearing the gown of the new army, only the new army has such clothes, and in addition, there is Yuan Shikai's handwriting. As he spoke, he took out a private letter from Yuan Shikai, signed with the words Yuan Shikai at the bottom.

Gong Ren looked at the letter carefully, the letter was full of some irrelevant questions, and the signature was too obvious, so he tore off Yuan Shikai's Shikai, leaving only the Yuan character, and also tore off more than half of the Yuan character, leaving only a soil character, and then rubbed it twice, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Liang Qichao said: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful is vague and specious." Who Rong Lu is, he can't guess who did it. ”

Tan Sitong said to the killer: "You go, I will hand over the remaining half of the silver to your family tomorrow." ”

The killer said yes, turned around and walked out the door. After a while, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and then it became farther and farther away, and gradually there was no sound.

Gong Ren said: "There are two things that need to be done tomorrow, the first thing is that I will continue to go to Yuan Shikai's mansion to urge Yuan Shikai and see his reaction." The second thing is to implement the second strategy, send someone to Dong Fuxiang and Nie Shicheng to contact them, see the reaction of the two, and by the way, reveal that this is Rong Lu's instructions. ”

After arranging all this, Tan Sitong nodded to Gong Ren and said, "It's not too early, you should rest for a while." ”

Gong Ren nodded and said, "Brother Tan, you are working hard for state affairs, and you should rest even more, so as not to tire out your body and cause unnecessary losses to the law change." Gong Ren is also a compliment and a compliment to Tan Sitong.
