Chapter 49 Shi Kai saw through three strategies
Early the next morning, the hour had passed, and Gongren came to Fahua Temple.
There were still four soldiers of the New Army standing guard at the door, after a night of suffering, they did not have the slightest fatigue, but appeared more energetic, heroic, they stood down, the whole upper body forward, like four statues, but the embarrassing thing is that their faces have a layer of small pimples, which are superimposed after being bitten by mosquitoes.
Gong Ren said to the person in charge in front of the door: "Please report it to Lord Yuan, just say that Liang Qichao's people are visiting." β
The man squinted his eyes and glanced at Gong Ren, and then went into the mansion to report.
Gong Ren waited quietly at the door, from the hour to the hour, for nearly an hour, and still did not wait for Yuan Shikai to meet him.
Gong Ren thought to himself, Yuan Shikai had no intention of borrowing troops, and he happened to be closed at this time, pretending not to hear with his eyes closed and plugging his ears with donkey fur plugged into his ears! Or maybe they already knew that the person who came was just a small soldier, and simply ignored it. If you don't meet me, I won't be in a hurry to see you, and when the time comes, when the fire burns to the house, I'll see if you're still in a hurry.
At this moment, a fast horse came from far and near, and the sound of the horse's hooves splashed dust all the way. The rider dismounted, tied the reins to the iron ring on the wall, and ran to Yuan's mansion. Gong Ren stepped forward to look at the horse, because of the long run, the horse had a layer of fine sweat, and the mouth was snorting with heat, although it was tied to the iron ring, the whole body was still shaking in a hot and random manner, and the horse's hooves stomped on the ground vigorously, and the ground was stomped for a while. Gong Ren thought to himself, needless to say, this is from Tianjin, it must be the news of Rong Lu's assassination, Yuan Shikai already knew it at this time, and some details that are inseparable from Yuan Shikai are probably already known.
There was only a bag of cigarettes, and the steward suddenly came over and said to Gong Ren, "Lord Yuan told you to go in." β
Gong Ren laughed in his heart, this assassination of Rong Lu is good, if you don't come to such a move, I'm afraid you won't be able to pretend to be able to see it when it gets dark, if you wait for two more days, the cucumber vegetables will be cold.
The steward led Gong Ren to Yuan Shikai's study, and then closed the door and went out, Gong Ren saw Yuan Shikai sitting on the seat casually, looking at Gong Ren with blazing eyes, with a sneer on his face, without the slightest intention of welcoming guests.
Gong Ren had no choice but to arch his hand and said to Yuan Shikai: "Hello Lord Yuan, the villain has seen Lord Yuan." β
Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "I don't know your honorable name yet, and the people who came here are probably not ordinary people." β
Gong Ren said: "In the lower public tenacity, the public tenacity, the tenacity of tenacity." β
Yuan Shikai said: "You and I have met for the third time, the first time was in Wanghailou, and the second time was here, you still fooled me, saying that I was good for you to speak, and you were so good to give me flowers and salute something, and now it is the third time." Tell me, what conspiracy do you have to come today? β
Gong Ren was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Yuan Shikai's memory was so good, and he couldn't fool him with anything, so he had to say: "I came here to discuss with Lord Yuan about the important matter of saving the country and the people, where is there any conspiracy." β
Hearing this, Yuan Shikai suddenly slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Tan Si is not righteous, but he dares to give me this set." This palm was not trivial, the teapot and teacup on the table jumped up, and the tea splashed on the table.
Gong Ren was also startled in his heart, Yuan Shikai finally got angry, as long as he was angry, it was better than not yin or yang, I asked him again, to see what kind of anger he had, Gong Ren patiently asked: "Lord Yuan, I don't know why you say that Tan Sitong is not righteous?" β
Yuan Shikai scolded: "This Tan Sitong bullied me for being mentally retarded, he sent someone to assassinate Rong Lu last night, but he didn't succeed, but he asked the assassin to leave my handle, a ragged coat of the new army and a broken letter from me that I don't know where to go." What is this called, this is called provoking and dissenting adultery, this is called rumor-mongering and slander, I can't imagine these indiscriminate plays, Tan Sitong actually made it for me, it is simply a big saw in front of Lu Ban, a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and a three-character scripture in front of Confucius......"
Gong Ren thought to himself, it's not good, I can't think of my first plan, which has been seen through by Yuan Shikai, this Yuan Shikai is indeed a traitor in the world, and he can't hide anything from him. But since that's the case, there are benefits to knowing......
At this time, a soldier came over and attached a few words to Yuan Shikai's ear, the more Yuan Shikai listened, the more angry he became, the more he listened, the more angry he became, and after the soldier left, Yuan Shikai "snapped" and slapped the table again. This palm was even more ruthless, the teacup turned over, and the tea and tea leaves in the cup were scattered on the table.
Yuan Shikai scolded: "What does this Tan Sitong want to do, it's good now, he really has the courage to do this, and he went to Dong Fuxiang and Nie Shicheng again, and persuaded Dong Fuxiang and Nie Shicheng to defect to the reformers and maintain the law, and said that this is what Rong Lu meant." Isn't this nonsense, who doesn't know that Rong Lu is the queen mother's person, how could he let Gan Jun and Wu Yijun rebel, a discerning person can know at a glance that this is not an anti-treacherous plan. This Tan Sitong, I don't know how thick the sky is, I really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has......"
Gong Ren was secretly surprised in his heart: "It's not good, this second strategy has been seen through by Yuan Shikai again, this Yuan Shikai!" It's really hard to deal with, it's too hard to deal with...... But how exactly does he deal with such an event? β
Yuan Shikai scolded and scolded, suddenly turned his spearhead, and said to Gong Ren: "This Tan Sitong, I don't have such a heart, why is my ability bullish for a period of time, is it your ......idea for him?"
Gong Ren laughed in his heart: "If I don't say it, how will he know that it was my idea." β
Yuan Shikai suddenly slapped the table again, this time the teapot was unlucky, the teapot turned over, the tea and tea were scattered on the table, and the teacup simply fell to the ground and shattered.
Yuan Shikai scolded: "What else does Tan Sitong want to do next, do you want to kidnap the Queen Mother?" β
Gong Ren was shocked at this moment: "I really let Yuan Shikai guess correctly, this Yuan Shikai is really a demon." β
Yuan Shikai scolded enough, and yelled: "Come on, drag this kid out and cut it." β
As soon as Yuan Shikai finished speaking, the door of the house opened, and four wolf-like guards immediately pounced up, immediately grabbed Gong Ren's arm, and then dragged him out. Don't look at this room as if it was empty, in fact, there were short guns pointed at the living people in the room from the dark holes in several corners, if you want to have the slightest irregularity, you will be killed immediately, not to mention that Yuan Shikai himself has extraordinary martial arts.
Seeing that this was already the case, Gong Ren was very calm in his heart, and shouted at the sky: "No one complains, but they still complain that I am not thoughtful." It's okay to do this, but you can meet with Xipin, so as not to make her wait lonely. β
Hearing this, Yuan Shikai's eyes rolled and said to Gong Ren: "These ghost ideas are not from you." β
Gong Ren shouted: "What if it's me, it has nothing to do with Brother Tan." If you want to kill or chop, I will bear it alone. β
When Yuan Shikai heard this, he suddenly turned his anger into joy and waved his hand to the guard. The four guards let go of their fortifications and walked out of the house. Yuan Shikai said softly to the outside again: "Come on, serve tea-"
The steward came up, tidied up the table, and brought tea and snacks again. Yuan Shikai smiled at Gong Ren at this time, but he didn't have the slightest resentment, stood up, arched his hand to Gong Ren and said: "It's really a hero out of a young man, I look at it, I know that this brother is magnificent, his ability is extraordinary, the hero was born, and the great achievements of his life have long been written between his eyebrows." β
Yuan Shikai sang this one, life and death, all touched up and down his donkey lips. Gong Ren really couldn't figure out what Yuan Shikai wanted to do, so he simply sat quietly on the chair and braked quietly.
Yuan Shikai said: "What is fate, this is fate, God sent a talented man to me." Excuse me, Brother Gongren, how did you come up with these schemes for Tan Si. β
Gong Ren was unwilling to answer these nonsense to Yuan Shikai, and asked: "Lord Yuan, you now hold the military power, Emperor Guangxu intends to change the law to become strong, from a weak country to a strong country and stand tall among the Western powers, and change the fate of China from now on, and Cixi, Ronglu and others are feudal and autocratic, resting on their laurels, blocking the wheel of history and hindering the change of law. β
Yuan Shikai frowned and said, "Brother Gongren, I have my difficulties, do you think it's so easy to change the law?" β
When Gong Ren heard that there was a door, he asked, "What is the difficulty, can you tell me about it." β
Yuan Shikai sighed and said slowly: "Those who do big things must first have military power, the Queen Mother is too suspicious, and as soon as she saw that the change might endanger her, she hurriedly summoned Rong Lu as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, the commander of Dong Fuxiang's Gan army, Nie Shicheng's Wu Yi army and my new army. Why do you say this, but this is not the case that once the situation changes, the power of the army is in hand, and the world is determined by the barrel of the gun. Although I have a new army in my hands, if I want to mobilize a target force, Rong Lu can only say it.
Speaking of political power, it is still Cixi who is in power. Cixi is the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng, the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi, after the death of Emperor Tongzhi, because Emperor Tongzhi had no children, Zai Yan was selected by Empress Dowager Cixi as the successor of Emperor Tongzhi, and unexpectedly became the 11th emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was only 4 years old when he ascended the throne, and he was still asleep when he entered the palace, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was the aunt of Emperor Guangxu, how much pressure on Guangxu was, you should know. Today, Cixi has gone through three lifetimes. In these three lives, you have experienced many wars and court changes, you don't know. How much political experience does Emperor Guangxu have, and can he compare with the Queen Mother?
In this contest, there is also the character of the person. Cixi is both lenient and cruel, when the Xinyou coup investigated Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushun's henchmen, the original 8 ministers who took care of their orders to praise the king of Xiang, executed 3 people, and punished 5 people; Those who are closely related to him dealt with Chen Fuen and other 6 people, and 5 eunuchs, a total of 19 people. This is not the same as the Wuwu Kechang case handled by Su Shun, which involved hundreds of people at every turn. It took only a month from the launch of the coup d'Γ©tat to the completion of the process, which is also surprisingly short. In general, Cixi was generous, but on the other hand, she was very cruel, relying on Zeng Guofan's Hunan army, Li Hongzhang's Huai army, and successively quelled the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Twist Army, and the Hui and Miao rebellions. On July 19, 1864, when the Hunan army broke through Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it searched and killed in sections, and in three days, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Taiping Army were killed.
Besides, Emperor Guangxu, as a young and energetic monarch, from the perspective of the quality that an emperor should have, he can accept new things, focus on social welfare, implement law changes, and do not easily retreat and compromise. But Emperor Guangxu also has his shortcomings, he has a cowardly personality, lacks political strategy, and encounters such a strong figure as the Queen Mother, so he has never been able to make a difference in politics, and he is restrained by the Queen Mother everywhere.
In this political contest, who wins and who loses, I'm afraid you already know in your heart! β
Gong Ren thought in his heart, maybe what Yuan Shikai said made some sense, but he didn't think it was a plan. Gong Ren said angrily: "Lord Yuan, it's time for the juniors to go, farewell!" As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.
Yuan Shikai smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, I haven't pulled enough with you yet!" Excuse me, where is the little brother from? β
"A small place that is not famous, a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong." Gong Ren casually agreed.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai was a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly stood up and asked: "Another Xiangshan person, Xiangshan is not a small place, Xiangshan is a treasure of feng shui!" Have you ever heard of the Three Treasures of Xiangshan? β
"Oh-" said Gong Ren, "I am from Xiangshan, but I have never heard of the Three Treasures of Xiangshan. I'm going to hear what you say. β
"Come on, serve the wineβ" Yuan Shikai shouted again.
Gong Ren was stunned again in his heart, what kind of fame did this Yuan Shikai make, he was going to kill his head for a while, and tea came up for a while, and wine came up at this time, which really made the second monk scratch his head.
The steward came up, and while quickly wiping the table, he glanced at Gong Ren, and his eyes were all smiling, as if Gong Ren had some treasure hidden in his body. Soon, a servant came up with a wooden box of good food, another servant came up, and then another servant came up with a box of good food, and finally a servant came up with a wooden box of good wine and wine utensils. Gongren's heart became more and more confused, thinking to himself, if he comes, he will be safe, and see what tricks Yuan Shikai plays.
Yuan Shikai's attitude towards Gong Ren changed from the original lesson-like face to an extremely humble look, and he waved Gong Ren for a while, and then made a gesture to sit down, and said with a smile: "The first time I was in Wanghai Tower, I felt that you were a different person from ordinary people, the second time I met, I could accompany Liang Qichao here with him, of course, he was not an ordinary person, today, since you can come up with these three clever plans with Tan Si, it is even more very human." I don't know if Shikai loves talent, and I am willing to make you a friend, I don't know what my brother wants? β
Gongren swaggered down and sat down, thinking, this is all nonsense, how can I be with you, a dog official who is hesitant and afraid of tigers and wolves, but thinking that he has a heavy responsibility, it is inconvenient to thin his face, so he just prevaricated and said: "Make friends or not, that's just a superficial article, if we can understand the other party's difficulties and sincerely help each other, we will naturally be friends, if we are friends on the surface and kick behind our backs, then we are not friends." Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and I see the hearts of the people over time, how I hope to make friends with an elder hero like Lord Yuan! However, I have to ask Lord Yuan about the Three Treasures of Xiangshan first, brother, I am really ignorant, can I listen to Lord Yuan to understand a little more. β
Yuan Shikai also sat down, no longer mentioning whether he was a friend or not, and said, "Brother really doesn't know or false!" That's what I've heard. The first treasure of Xiangshan, that is, Xiangshan hides a treasure, who got this treasure, enough to win a war, the second treasure, is Xiangshan hidden a military book, the legend is that the long-haired wing king Shi Dakai made, with this military book, enough to win all the wars, this third treasure, is Xiangshan out of a character, enough to turn the whole China upside down. β
Gong Ren was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Is this treasure he said is the 10 quintals of tea I saw, and is that 10 quintals of tea really so valuable?" He said that this military book has no unsolved cases, just in my mind, you, the dog officer of the Qing army, can I hand over this military book to you? The character he said must be Sun Wen, that is my idol......" Gong Ren Zheng Yuan Shikai said: "You are right, this character should not be said to have turned the whole China upside down, but it should be said that it can awaken the entire Chinese nation." β
Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "Yes!" Right! I don't fight with you, according to the words of your revolutionary party, Sun Wenzu can awaken the entire Chinese nation. β
Gong Ren shook his head and said, "What do you say about the Three Treasures of Xiangshan, what does it have to do with me, how can I know these things?" β
Yuan Shikai first picked up a glass of wine, shook the wine glass to Gong Ren, and Gong Ren had no choice but to pick up a glass of wine.
Yuan Shikai looked at Gong Ren's eyes with a smile and said, "If you want to talk about this Xiangshan treasure, it is difficult for you, ordinary people don't know this big secret." But if you want to talk about this military book, it has something to do with you, and with these strategies you have come up with, how do I think you must be a person who is familiar with military books? Is "Heavenly Strategy" in your hands? β
When Gong Ren heard this, he was shocked, and the wine glass fell to the ground at once. Gong Ren hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and said vigorously in his mouth: "Rude! Faux pas! When I heard Lord Yuan talk about these wonderful things just now, I was so excited that I couldn't hold my wine glass. β
Yuan Shikai looked at Gong Ren and said, "Don't pretend, I'm not Cao Cao, you are not Liu Bei, and you still want to come to Liu Bei's set." How about we make a deal? β
Gong Ren thought to himself, Liu Yuan Shikai couldn't hide anything from his eyes, and he could only say: "I am a poor boy, where do I have the capital to do business with you." Would you like to hear it? β
Yuan Shikai said: "If you donate the treasure of Xiangshan, I will lend you a standard, if you donate Shi Dakai's book of war, I will lend you two bids, if you donate Sun Wen, I will lend you three bids." β
Then the steward came in, picked up the broken glass, and then offered a brand new one, and hurried out.
Gongren asked Yuan Shikai: "Didn't you say that it was just a target force, then you also have to ask Rong Lu, you can lend three targets at once, can Rong Lu agree?" β
Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "It turned out to be the original, and now it is now, such a big deal, I have to take a risk." β
Gong Ren thought to himself: "I don't know what you do and think, how can this treasure of Xiangshan be offered to you?" If you give it to the imperial court, it will not be more disadvantageous to our revolutionary party. The Summer Palace is to kill the Empress Dowager Cixi, that is also the emperor's house, what do we have to do, this deal must not be done with you. If this book of soldiers is given to you, if you fight against us in the future, you will become our fierce enemy, and we will not be able to give it to you at all. Sun Wenwen to you, you can dream of it, that's your father-"
Gong Ren sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity that this business can't be done, and I don't know anything about the three treasures of Xiangshan." β
Yuan Shikai lowered his face, there was a faint murderous aura in his eyebrows, and he roared: "Do you really don't know, or do you really don't know?" β
