Chapter 44: The traitor is in charge
Beijing, Liu Jun is not the first time to come, in later generations, he often goes to Beijing, but this hundred years ago in Beijing, he is still the first time to Ledo, although there is no later generations of cars like flowing water, crowded people, but it is also quite prosperous. At least it's much bigger than his own nest Lushun.
After a day's trip, Liu Jun and Li Hongzhang arrived in Beijing and settled in Li Hongzhang's house in Beijing. In Li Hongzhang's words, it means that there are people in the capital who are easy to do, so give them a look first, and talk to them when they go to court tomorrow.
The next day, when the day was still white, and the chickens had not yet crowed, Liu Jun was pulled up from the bed by Yang Shixiang. Liu Jun, who was drowsy, kept complaining, saying that he slept late last night and wanted to sleep a little longer, but when he heard Yang Shixiang say that he should go to see the emperor, Liu Jun got up slowly and got dressed.
Although Li Hongzhang was older than him, he had already gotten up and waited for Liu Jun in the living room.
When he came to the palace gate, it was still early to go to court here, and Liu Jun saw a lot of red tops, including a few people who Li Hongzhang took him to visit yesterday. And there are several iron hat kings among them.
Mom, look at the patterns of birds and beasts on the chest, they are all second-grade, third-grade are rare, and although Liu Jun is a general soldier, he is just a minister, and he is a fourth-grade, so the picture on the chest, compared in front of those beasts, is embarrassed to mention, a big difference.
Liu Jun is not familiar with these people, so he can only follow behind Li Hongzhang, like a good rabbit.
It's been an hour. There was no order from the court, and on this cold day, Liu Jun's legs were numb. Constantly going around in circles.
Finally, Liu Jun saw a eunuch dressed in red who didn't know what kind of beast was embroidered on it, and came out with a horse's tail and flicked it: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go to court." ”
As soon as he heard the court, the palace gate, which was the same as the vegetable market just now, suddenly quieted down and stood in order. Begin to enter the palace gate and head to the Golden Luang Palace.
Liu Jun is not a Beijing official, so there is no business with him in this court, and he saw these beasts entering. Liu Jun, who was bored, chatted with the soldiers in yellow jackets on the side, who knew that these people were the same as wood, no matter how Liu Jun said it, he didn't even look at it. Liu Jun, who was bored with himself, had to sit in a corner and squat down by himself to avoid the cold wind of the cold bones.
About half an hour later, when Liu Jun was about to fall asleep, a eunuch finally came out and shouted: "Liu Jun, the chief soldier of Xuanlushun, has entered the palace." ”
Liu Jun stood up and followed behind the little eunuch, according to Li Hongzhang's teachings, after entering the palace, he must not raise his head, but bow his head, so he kept his head down all the way.
Came to the Jinluan Palace, Liu Jun stopped, stood outside the door, and waited for the flowers to come out inside, Liu Jun bowed his head and walked in, after three bows and nine knocks, Emperor Guangxu let Liu Jun stand up, and let Liu Jun raise his head, he wanted to see what kind of virtue this person who could wipe out thousands of Japanese troops for him and put gold on his face looked like.
Sure enough, it was a talent on one side, and Guangxu above nodded.
Liu Jun also looked at Guangxu above, just like a thin monkey, there was only skin and bones left.
After Guangxu nodded, he asked Liu Jun to introduce the course of the Battle of Yingkou.
Liu Jun did not shirk, and told the general everything in the Jinluan Palace, and according to Li Hongzhang's instructions in Tianjin Petrochemical, he brought the command knife and military rank of the chief of staff of the Sixth Division.
Emperor Guangxu looked at the saber and military rank sent up, and greatly praised Liu Jun and Li Hongzhang.
Putting down the saber and the rank of major general in his hand, Emperor Guangxu stood up: "Spread my will, the Lushun garrison raised the prestige of our Qing army, and ordered the household department to allocate 50,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold to reward the Lushun garrison." ”
Wow, Liu Jun's eyes were full of golden light when he was standing below. Money, that's money, I come to the capital by myself, there is so much money, if I come often in the future, then hehe. However not rejoicing for long, came out an opposition.
Liu Jun frowned and glanced at the person who stood up against it: "Paralyzed, it's actually you bastard." ”
This person is not who it is, it is Weng Tongyong, the head of the household, and Weng Tongrong came out and said: "This alone with a knife and a Japanese military rank can't explain anything, maybe it was bought from a Japanese businessman." ”
"You're paralyzed, what the hell." Liu Jun scolded in his heart, and was about to get up to argue, but when he saw Li Hongzhang standing up, he retorted, saying that Weng Tongyi was made out of nothing. However, Weng Tongyi was the king of the eight who ate the scales and said that this was fake, and the victory in Yingkou was fake, and asked Guangxu to revoke the reward.
Liu Jun has the heart of this white-bearded old man now, but now in the Jinluan Palace, he can't mess around, after all, this is Guangxu's teacher, and he doesn't know what this Guangxu means.
Liu Jun raised his eyes and glanced at Guangxu above, and saw that Guangxu above's face was a little unhappy, and the unhappy eyes glanced at Weng Tongyi, who was spitting around. I also knew in my heart that this was Guangxu's dissatisfaction with Weng Tongyi.
Also, Guangxu is happy, knowing that the soldiers are hard, and there is nothing wrong with improving the morale of the soldiers, you ignorant person actually came to stir up the situation. As I said, people spend their own money and lock you to death. ”
Weng Tongyi listened to Li Hongzhang's words and said: "Your Majesty, the Lushun garrison is only 10,000 horses, how can the Sixth Division be annihilated, this must be the Lushun general Liu Jun and Lushun will be a lie, Weichen begged to arrest Lushun guard Liu Jun and his subordinates, put them in prison, and let the criminal department"
I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore Liu Jun stood up and pointed at Weng Tongyi: "Old Zamao, you are saying it again." ”
He did get angry. It's okay not to give a reward, it's okay not to give a reward, it's okay to frame him, but this old man actually said that he wanted the emperor to send someone to Lushun to arrest his soldiers and generals, and Liu Jun became angry.
Weng Tongyi was taken aback by Liu Jun's action, he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Li Hongzhang next to him was also surprised, he didn't expect Liu Jun to stand up suddenly.
"What do you say? You are saying it again," Weng Tongyi asked Liu Jun who was standing in front of him in surprise.
Liu Jun's eyes widened like cow eggs and said, "Lao Tzu said that you are old and miscellaneous, what's the matter?" You are paralyzed, Lao Tzu's brothers are desperate on the front line, and in the Yingkou battle, Lao Tzu's brothers lost more than 3,300 people. What the hell, you old bastard, actually slandered the old people. You are such a bad old man, and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty will be ruined on an old thing like you. The more Liu Jun spoke, the more energetic he became, and even Weng Tongxiao's wife was taken out by Liu Jun to scold, scolding Weng Tongrong's mother for not leaving this kind of person, harming the world, the people, and the court.
Weng Tongyi's face was flushed with anger by Liu Jun, and he pointed at Liu Jun with his finger: "You are bold, you dare to insult the court officials"
"Scold you, Lao Tzu still beats you." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Weng Tongyong's collar and slapped Weng Tonggong in the face.
Weng Tong was angry, and was stunned by Liu Jun's slap and said, "The old man fought with you." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, and the two fought in the court.
Li Hongzhang next to him was now in a cold sweat, and he would never have dreamed that Liu Jun would suddenly scold Weng Tongxiao and beat Weng Tongxiao.
Looking at Weng Tongyong, who had now been ridden on the ground by Liu Jun, Li Hongzhang hurriedly pulled Liu Jun up, and asked Liu Jun to kneel, and he also knelt down in a hurry, asking Guangxu to read that Liu Jun was ignorant and spare his life.
Emperor Guangxu didn't say anything, and Weng Tongyi stood up and prepared to speak.
As soon as he bent over, Liu Junyu was angry and scolded: "You mouth is not clean, and Lao Tzu still beats you." ”
Weng Tongyi was also hurt by Liu Jun, and when he saw Liu Jun targeting him again, he immediately shut up.
Li Hongzhang glanced at Liu Jun, who was now red, and then went to pull Liu Jun, who knew that Liu Jun ignored Li Hongzhang, and his eyes were still staring at Weng Tongyi.
The Guangxu above is also a person who is not much different in age from Liu Jun, although he is not used to the literary republic, but after all, he is the emperor, and Weng Tongyi is his teacher, sometimes he doesn't dare to say anything. Seeing Liu Jun today, he suddenly scolded and didn't say anything, and stepped forward to beat people, although he was also relieved, but as an emperor, he still asked: "You openly insult officials in the court, do you know the guilt?" ”
Liu Jun turned his head and said to Guangxu, "Emperor Qi, Weichen is not guilty, but Weng Tongyi has committed a heinous crime and should be punished by the Nine Clans." ”
Not only did one sentence confuse Guangxu, but even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty didn't understand what Liu Jun meant.
Weng Tongyi blew his beard angrily and glared: "What crime did the old man commit?" ”
"Rebellion." Liu Jun said confidently.
"Your Majesty, the micro-ministers are wronged, the micro-ministers are wronged." Weng Tong's head was buckled towards Guangxu like pounding garlic, and Liu Jun's words were too vicious. The lethality is also great, and no one can withstand it.
Liu Jun snorted coldly and said: "What are you wronged, old thing, you instigated the emperor, the meritorious soldiers on the front line are not rewarded, but you want to arrest the meritorious soldiers, you are making the emperor a lonely person, and the soldiers will be separated from the emperor, so as to achieve your dirty purpose, and bring it to the Qing Dynasty After the soldiers lost confidence in the emperor, you took the opportunity to make trouble, the dynasty changed, and you are not punishable." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen and Weichen are wronged, Weichen and Weichen are ......" With a bang, Weng Tongyi couldn't get up in one breath, and suddenly fainted to the ground.
