The Huguang Governor's Yamen is located in the southwest corner of the provincial capital near the Wangshan Gate, and the Hubei Governor's Yamen is quite far away, so when Wu Chaoyue hurried to the chaotic Governor's Mansion Yamen, the political envoy Ma Xiuru, the inspection envoy Li Qinggu and the Wuchang prefect Yan Shusen and other Hubei civil and military officials have already rushed to the scene to visit the seriously ill and dying old fox Hua Shana. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The old fox's illness is indeed very scary, lying on the hospital bed I don't know who is going to work, and my breathing is very weak, no matter how the old fox's second son Entai, who came from the capital two months ago, cries and calls, and no matter how Lang Zhong massages and acupuncture, the old fox can't wake up if he can't wake up. Wu Chaoyue saw the great urgency, and directly pounced on Hua Shana's body and called loudly, "Grandpa Hua, it's me, Wu Chaoyue!" Wu Weiting! Grandpa Hua, wake up, wake up, I'm Comfort Pavilion! Comfort Pavilion! Comfort pavilion! ”

As if it was a repeat of the situation in the last Yin Wenge, hearing Wu Chaoyue's words, the old fox, who had been in a coma for a long time, miraculously moved his eyelids a few times, slowly opened some eyes, and made some gurgling sounds in his throat, but it was still very difficult to breathe. Wu Chaoyue, who knew a little bit about medical science, was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted: "Come on, give Grandpa Hua phlegm!" ”

"Phlegm? What is phlegm? ”

The Lang Zhong present were all dumbfounded, and Wu Chaoyue also came to his senses, and immediately asked angrily: "Why don't you find a few foreign doctors?" Didn't Hankow have it? ”

Entai and Dai Wenjie and others were speechless, Wu Chaoyue suddenly remembered the method in a certain TV series anxiously, and hurriedly called someone to bring a paper twist and lamp oil, first helped the old fox to sit up, and then dipped the lamp oil with a paper twist, and then inserted it into the old fox's throat and stirred, the old fox's throat muscles were stimulated by the double stimulation of the paper twist and the smell of lamp oil and twitched violently, and suddenly coughed up a lot of thick phlegm one after another, and his breathing was suddenly much smoother, and his painful expression also slowed down a lot.

"Lord Futai is a good doctor! How can you save people in such a way? ”

Everyone present, including Lang Zhong, exclaimed, and all Wu Chaoyue was amazed by this saving stunt, and Wu Chaoyue wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said secretly: "Fortunately, that TV series is just plot nonsense, and the home remedies are true." ”

Then, with the concerted efforts of many famous doctors in Hubei, after trying to rescue for a long time, the old fox was already able to make some faint sounds, and after being completely conscious, the old fox first asked Dai Wenjie, Ma Xiuru and Li Qinggu and others to go out temporarily, leaving only his son and Wu Chaoyue in the room, and then beckoned Wu Chaoyue to sit beside him, pressed Wu Chaoyue's hand with his thin old hand, and said in a weak voice: "Comfort Ting, I can't do it, I'm afraid it won't last long." Before he breathes, the old man has a few words in his heart, and he must make it clear to you. ”

"Grandpa Hua, please speak, juniors listen."

Wu Chaoyue tearfully replied to Hua Lao Fox, who was really good to him, Hua Lao Fox smiled hard, and then said: "Wei Ting, do you know why the old man is so good to you?" ”

Seeing Wu Chaoyue shaking his head, the old fox said: "There are many reasons for this, the most important one is because of what the emperor said to the old man when he resigned. ”

"What did the emperor say to Grandpa Hua?" Wu Chaoyue asked in surprise.

Hua Lao Fox nodded slightly, and said: "At that time, the emperor was an old man summoned alone, in addition to asking the old man to be diligent and errand and other clichés, the most important explanation to the old man is to ask the old man to watch you closely and prevent you from having any different intentions." At that time, the old man asked the emperor, if you really have different intentions, how to deal with it? ”

The emperor replied at the time that he could cut it first and then play it.

Speaking of this, Hua Lao Fox showed a bitter smile, and said in a weaker voice: "At that time, the old man understood that the emperor did not trust you from the bottom of his heart, and there were some pity for you, and felt sorry for the Qing Dynasty, how good would it be if you were a Manchu or Mongolian?" The emperor will definitely not be so wary of you and jealous of you, and he will definitely hand over more power and troops to you, and then use your talent and ability to suppress the long-haired bandits, it will definitely be easy. ”

"Therefore, the old man made up his mind at that time, after arriving in Huguang, he must treat you well, just be the emperor's eyeliner in Huguang, and try to make up for the emperor and the court as much as possible, so that you can let go of your hands and feet to kill thieves and quell the rebellion. In doing this, the old man is to repay the kindness of the third world, for you, and for the old man himself, really fight, the old man and I may not be your opponent, the old man understands this very well. ”

"Grandpa Hua, don't say it, I understand all this." Seeing that the old fox's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Wu Chaoyue hurriedly stopped: "You rest in peace first, I sent someone to Hankou to invite a famous foreign doctor for you, and I will be able to come soon, and let him show you when the time comes." ”

The old fox shook his head and refused, and said in a weaker voice: "Weiting, the old man has also done a lot of things to be sorry for you, in fact, transferring you out of Hubei to prevent you from supporting the army and self-respect, it is still the old man's first suggestion to the emperor in the secret fold, but because of the change in the war situation, the old man changed his mind again, and he also persuaded the emperor to change his mind......." ”

Speaking of this, the old fox also shed tears, choked up and said: "Weiting, don't blame me, the old man is the duty, and he can't help but do his best for the Jiangshan Society of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Grandpa Hua, of course I don't blame you." Wu Chaoyue also shed tears and said: "Without your favor, my affairs in Hubei would be ten times more difficult than now, and the imperial court will never allow me to actually control so many troops and power." ”

The old fox smiled bitterly and said: "Weiting, you must have seen that the emperor's suspicion of you has increased again, and after the old man died, the matter of you taking over as the governor of Huguang has also been suspended again." This is something that can't be helped, you are Han, and you are so capable, and now you are involved with the long-haired female bandits, and the emperor can't suspect you or not. ”

After coughing painfully again, the old fox said again: "Weiting, there is not much time left for you, the old man estimates that I can't survive this winter no matter what." ”

"Now that the old man still occupies the position, you quickly replace all the leaders of Eyong with your people, and also thoroughly clean Daye, the Minting Bureau, the Hankou Customs and the Hubei Lijin Bureau, and completely control these key points in your hands before the old man dies, so that no matter whether you can take over as the governor of Huguang or not, you don't have to worry about being too constrained by the new governor."

"In addition, the old man has already agreed with Wenjie that after the old man dies, he will enter your shogunate to serve, he will be in charge of secrets for the old man for many years, and he will also bring the things that the old man has accumulated in the court and the local government over the years, and he will also bring them to you ......."

"Grandpa Flower......."

Wu Chaoyue's moving gratitude was interrupted by Hua Lao Fox's clapping, and he gasped for breath, and Hua Lao Fox said in a weak voice: "One more point, don't let E Yong be too idle." On the premise of ensuring the safety of Hubei, as soon as there is an opportunity, try to send out to participate in the war, Hubei Yong must rely on you to save money and food, will not disobey you, as long as you win a battle, they will vigorously protect it, they will not blame you, and they will only thank you. ”

"At the same time, the Eyong you control is attacking everywhere, even if you can't be the governor of Huguang, the military power of Hubei is still in your hands, and the imperial court is even more afraid to move you easily, understand......?"

Wu Chaoyue nodded with tears, but the old fox couldn't help coughing painfully, his expression was obviously more painful than before, when Wu Chaoyue and Entai were in a hurry, Dai Wenjie's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and said: "Second son, the foreign doctor invited by Wu Futai has arrived, do you want him to come in to treat Hua Zhitai?" ”

"This ......, Doctor Foreigner? Is it reliable? ”

Entai of the tiger father and dog was very hesitant, and the old fox coughed and said bitterly: "Please let him in, the old man can live one more day now, and he can buy one more day for the comfort pavilion." ”

Entai hurriedly went out and personally went to meet the famous British doctor invited by Wu Chaoyue, Hua Lao Fox couldn't speak, just raised his arm with difficulty, pointed to the back of his son, but looked at Wu Chaoyue, his eyes were full of pleading. Wu Chaoyue understood what the old fox meant, so he said solemnly: "Grandpa Hua, don't worry, I will definitely take care of your children and grandchildren and do my best." ”

The old fox was pleased, and then closed his eyes with confidence, knowing that his group of wine bags and rice bags descendants no longer need to worry, knowing that if Wu Chaoyue is really a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, his descendants will definitely be rich and noble for life under the protection of Wu Chaoyue's wings, and he also knows that if Wu Chaoyue really has any different intentions, his descendants are likely to get more generous returns.

In a short time, Luo Weilin hurriedly entered the ward with two female nurses, and when he saw the old fox's condition, he did not dare to delay anything, and immediately took out a vacuum sputum suction device to guide the phlegm for the old fox, and then did all kinds of Western medical examinations for the old fox, and finally proposed a treatment method that is very rare in China at present - puncture to guide the accumulation of fluid in the lungs.

Piercing the lungs with a hollow silver needle to drain the fluid, the rescue plan proposed by Luo Weilin of course made Entai and Dai Wenjie and others pale, and Wu Chaoyue did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he could only quickly explain the principle to the old fox who was still conscious, but the old fox nodded calmly and immediately agreed to this treatment plan, and Luo Weilin also began to implement it.

After the turbid pleural effusion was drawn out, the old fox's breathing was much smoother, and his face was obviously better, but because of the use of ether anesthesia, the old fox had of course been in a coma, and Luo Weilin took off the mask on his face and said to Wu Chaoyue: "Wu, your boss is very seriously ill and still in danger of life, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Wu Chaoyue nodded helplessly, first thanked Luo Weilin for his rescue, and then said: "Mr. Luo Weilin, please do everything you can to save him, he is not only my boss, but also one of my most respected elders." ”

At this time, it was not early, and Dai Wenjie had already ordered someone to prepare dinner and invite everyone to the table, and Wu Chaoyue, who was tired and hungry, did not refuse. As a result, when it was time to get together for dinner, Wu Chaoyue seized the opportunity to talk to Ma Xiuru, Li Qinggu and others about the upcoming personnel adjustment in Hubei and Jiangxi, but to Wu Chaoyue's surprise, his deputies in civil affairs were very dissatisfied with these personnel adjustments of Emperor Xianfeng.

The reason for Ma Xiuru's dissatisfaction Wu Chaoyue certainly knew that the reason for Li Qinggu's dissatisfaction was also similar to Ma Xiuru's -- he had been the Hubei Provincial Inspector for almost two terms, and it should have been Li Qinggu's turn to be promoted to the political envoy in charge of Hubei's finances a long time ago, but Emperor Xianfeng wanted to transfer auspiciousness from Shanxi to replace Li Qinggu, and Li Qinggu's stomach was of course full of anger.

After probably figuring out the reason for Li Qinggu's dissatisfaction, Wu Chaoyue thought about it for a while, and then said directly to Li Qinggu: "Li Zhentai, speaking of which, I really hurt you, if I am a Manchurian, the lack of political envoys in Hubei this time is yours anyway, but because I am a Han, you are also a Han, and you are dragged down by me." ”

"Wu Futai, don't say that, blame me for being a Han myself, otherwise I ......."

Li Qinggu sighed angrily, and then said even more angrily: "The political envoy from Shanxi Province came to Hubei to take office, I really don't know what the above thinks!" Look at it, in a few days, Hankou, Wuchang and Hanyang will definitely be full of old west, and the smell of vinegar will be everywhere! Hubei has always levied normal commercial taxes, and it is about to be abnormal! ”

Hearing Li Qinggu's angry words, Wu Chaoyue's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed some smiles, and he said secretly: "It seems that this Li Qinggu is also an object that can be fought for, pull him over and join hands to clean up Jixiang, and it is definitely not a big problem to completely empty Jixiang." ”

As the dual founder of Union Hospital and Renji Hospital, Luo Weilin is certainly not covered in medical skills, although the current Western medicine is still relatively primitive, but under his careful treatment, the once dying Hua Lao Fox still stopped under the ghost gate, and his condition has improved a little, although he is still basically in a coma, and his life is still in danger, but his condition is stable, and it is unlikely that he will die quickly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Hua Lao Fox was still brazenly occupying the position of governor, with the direct permission of Hua Lao Fox, Wu Chaoyue also hurriedly started to do it, with the help of Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming, while using various methods to remove the leader of E Yong, and replace all the old men of Wu Jun selected from Wu Chaoyue's Fu Biao. On the one hand, we thoroughly cleaned the key units of Daye, Minting, Lijin and Hankou Customs, kicked out all the unreliable people, and replaced them with obedient and reliable people to completely take over power, so that the new political envoy Jixiang could not interfere in these places. And Ma Xiuru, who was about to rely on Wu Chaoyue's support, also fully cooperated, and handed over all the people in his key points and the political envoy yamen to Wu Chaoyue, so that Wu Chaoyue could grasp every move of the clan yamen at any time after he took office.

At the same time, Li Qinggu, the innocent prosecutor who was innocently lying on the gun, said that there were indeed many Shanxi businessmen in Hankou, Wuchang, and Hanyang, who were digging holes in the mountains and digging holes everywhere to find all kinds of ways to make a fortune, and buying storefronts in top shops in advance, and they couldn't wait to stretch out their claws to the Hankou Customs and the Hubei Lijin Bureau as early as possible, and all kinds of gifts and hospitality were entertained.

There are even Shanxi businessmen who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and Wu Chaoyue has the idea of Wu Chaoyue, no, this day, when Wu Chaoyue and Zhao Liewen, Yan Jingming and others were discussing the military budget for the coming year, Wu Dadao ran to Wu Chaoyue's front to report and said: "Young Master Sun, a businessman from Qi County, Shanxi Province came outside and wants to kowtow to you, this is his greeting post and gift list, please take a look." ”

"Nope!" Wu Chaoyue shouted angrily: "Didn't you see me so busy? What kind of broken businessman, don't you know that Lao Tzu never accepts bribes, and dares to hand over gift slips to Lao Tzu? Look for death! ”

Wu Dada, who has always been obedient, rarely disobeyed Wu Chaoyue's order, carefully handed the gift list to Wu Chaoyue, and said: "Young Master Sun, this gift list is a little different, please take a look." ”

Wu Chaoyue glanced at the gift sheet angrily, but Wu Chaoyue immediately froze again, because on the gift list, ten small characters were written in italics, which looked like a printed font - 300,000 taels of silver for the funeral list!

"Happy to lose 300,000 taels of military salary?!" Zhao Liewen next to him also exclaimed, "Who is this businessman?" As soon as you make a move, you will be paid 300,000 taels of silver? Not to mention Hunan and Hubei, even in Shanghai and Guangzhou, there is no businessman who has such a big deal? ”

"Qiao......, what a mediocrity."

Yan Jingming and other staff members also lost their voices, and Wu Dadao, who suddenly forgot the name of the businessman, hurriedly flipped through the worship post, and then said: "Qiao Zhiyong, it's called Qiao Zhiyong." ”

"Qiao Zhiyong?" A few days ago, Wu Chaoyue, who just remembered a TV series, and then subconsciously flashed such a thought, "More nonsense is coming." (To be continued.) )
