Chapter 607: Zailan's "Clever Plan"

In the blink of an eye, time has entered winter. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

The situation in Beijing has not entered dormancy because of the arrival of winter, and now Duanjun Wang Zaiyi is still working hard to push the courtiers to write books, abolish Guangxu, and establish a new emperor.

Cixi's original intention was to support this matter, and at the same time, the court and China are now dominated by conservative ministers, and they all participated in the Wuxu coup, for fear that Guangxu will really take power in the future, and they will also support Zaiyi's move in the aftermath of the autumn.

However, it was originally an uncomplicated internal affair, but the result was unexpected, and it was unanimously opposed by the Western powers, and the fact that Cixi personally canonized Pu Jun as the eldest brother was not recognized at all, making the matter of abolishing the old and establishing the new has remained in the process of negotiation and is difficult to truly implement.

At this time, Zai Yi remembered that he was like an ant on a hot pot, and it was really difficult to get along with him anymore to promote Cixi to abolish the emperor.

Some time ago, he led the brothers in the clan and his family members to rush to Guangxu's residence, trying to assassinate Guangxu directly, and promote Pu Jun to ascend to the treasure.

If Guangxu dies, then next, Pu Jun will no longer encounter any resistance to the throne, after all, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has passed away, and a new monarch must be established, so that the powers will have no reason to stop it.

It's a pity that in the end, this matter was stopped by Cixi, who rushed to hear the news, and Cixi scolded Zai Lian and Zai Ying, all of whom were bombarded back, although Cixi was old, but the tiger was old and heroic, especially Cixi, the tigress, not to mention that these fathers-in-law and nobles could afford to provoke.

A few people led a group of family slaves to be driven back again, Zai Yi was so angry that he scolded these people for being a bunch of waste, and they couldn't do anything.

Now Zaiyi has no good way, the huge pressure of the great powers, no court nobles are willing to face it directly, even if it is the high-ranking Queen Mother Lafayette, as for him Zaiyi, he is not qualified, he is not arrogant enough to face the spears and cannons of foreigners by himself.

Just when Zai Yi was worried, his younger brother Zai Lan stepped forward and said: "Brother Wang, now we can't just wait like this, now the emperor is in the peak of spring and autumn, Lafayette is already in the twilight, Lafayette can't survive the emperor, we have to find a better way." ”

Zai Yi had a gloomy face, this Zai Lan didn't have any skills, he only knew how to slap the horse, or he was showing off his might in front of the weak, if it wasn't for his own brother, he wouldn't want to use him.

Zai Yi said impatiently: "Zai Lan, I also know that I can't wait, you have a good idea for me, ***, isn't Lao Tzu out of thought now?" ”

Zailan's face froze, and then he said, "Brother Wang, have you forgotten the Boxers who are making trouble now?" ”

"Boxers?"

Zai Lan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened to the Boxers?" ”

Zailan replied: "Brother Wang, now the Boxers are becoming more and more intense in Zhili and Shandong, and now the number of Boxers in the two provinces has gathered no less than two or three hundred thousand, these people are all jealous xenophobia, and even with the support of some people, they have openly played the slogan of helping the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreigners, which may be a big help for us to succeed!" ”

Zai Yi looked at Zai Lan in surprise, I didn't expect that this straw bale brother would also have an enlightened day, not to mention the idea, at least this is really a brain.

Zailan saw that his brother Wang had been looking at him, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Brother Wang, no matter how you say that Pu Jun is also my own nephew, if he ascends to the big treasure, no matter how bad I am, I have to be a county king, do it better, that is the prince, or the iron hat, such an opportunity, how can I let it go, fight my own brothers, go into battle father and son, you say, in this matter, our brothers don't make it, who can we expect to sell our strength?" ”

Zai Yi laughed, patted Zai Lan on the shoulder, and said: "Yes, brother, being able to see this clearly shows that you have grown, right, brothers in the war, we are compatriots, now we are both prosperous and lossy, and we have grown up!" ”

Zai Lan smiled: "Isn't it Brother Wang who promoted me, without Brother Wang promoting me, where would I be today?" ”

Zai Yi asked: "Don't talk nonsense, you continue to talk about the Boxers." ”

Zai Lan continued: "Brother Wang, I heard that all the people of the Boxer boxer, everyone has a good ability, can open a hard bow, can ride a horse, can break boulders, and what's more, many of them are blessed by the gods, after casting spells, they can be invulnerable, and the end is extremely powerful, and now these people have formed a lot of general altars and sub-altars in the Zhili and Shandong areas, with no less than 200,000 people, this is a very huge force, if we use it, then we will have our own strength, You don't need to look at the eyes of Yuan Shikai or Zhang Zhidong, Rong Lu and others! ”

Zai Yi frowned and replied, "For our use, how can we use them?" ”

Zai Lan replied: "Brother Wang, these people were originally oppressed by Western missionaries or comprador forces, for the Western forces and their hatred, what we have to do now is to ask Lafayette, recruit all these people, and then arm them, this will be a powerful armed force, we will use their xenophobia to encourage them to drive all Westerners out of China, now the number of foreigners in China is not large, 200,000 Boxers can definitely drive them all away, When the time comes, without the constraints of Westerners, we will encourage Lafayette to abolish Emperor Guangxu and support Pu Jun to ascend the throne, it will be easy! ”

"That's right, as long as all the Western powers are driven out of China, then what force can prevent us from using Pu Jun to ascend the throne and become emperor?" Zaiyi's eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed: "Brother, yes, good idea, hahaha, as long as Lafayette agrees to our excerpt, then this matter can be implemented smoothly!" ”

Immediately, Zaiyi hesitated a little and hesitated: "It's just that, brother, can the Boxers really drive away the foreigners?" The spears and cannons of foreigners are not easy to mess with, and even Li Hongzhang is not an opponent of others, he has suffered repeated losses, can we do it? Zailan smiled: "What's not to do?" Now that the Boxers are invulnerable, then their spears and cannons are just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, which is useless, and they are less than a few thousand, how can they be the opponents of the Boxers? Zailan paused, and then said, "Also, Brother Wang, you still don't know? A few days ago, the Boxers of Zhili made trouble, only gathered a few thousand people, and they forcibly took Zhuozhou Mansion from the government, Zhuozhou is close to Baoding, there are many garrisons, and they are not the opponents of the Boxers, what are we afraid of? ”
