Under Cen Chunxuan's order, the muzzles of dozens of guards in the Governor's Mansion were pointed at Chen Zhong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Yongfu was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Excellency Governor, please calm down!" ”
"For the rebellion of the imperial court, this official will not tolerate it, arrest it!" Cen Chunxuan ordered without denial.
Chen Zhong suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Cen's temper is still so big, hahaha!" ”
Cen Chunxuan was about to speak, but found that there was an extra person behind him, holding a bright Yanxia sword.
Yan Xia looked at Cen Chunxuan expressionlessly and said, "Offended, Lord Cen!" "That Yanxia sword has been pressed against Cen Chunxuan's neck.
At this time, another guard of the Governor's Palace hurriedly came to report: "My lord, it's not good! ”
Cen Chunxuan scolded angrily: "What are you panicking about! Say! What?! ”
"The water outside Guangzhou has been besieged, and according to the information from the soldiers defending the city, there are 100,000 Hainan troops."
Cen Chunxuan looked at Chen Zhong, who was calm and calm, in astonishment, and sneered: "The King of Hainan turned out to be a sneak attack on this official!" ”
Chen Zhong smiled faintly and said, "This king is just passing by, Lord Cen doesn't have to mind." ”
Cen Chunxuan sneered and said, "Passing by, is there such a passerby?" After speaking, he glanced at Yan Xia.
Chen Zhong motioned for Yan Xia to put away the sword in his hand, approached Cen Chunxuan and said, "This king has no malicious intentions, please calm your anger." With that, he sat down straight.
At this time, another guard hurriedly reported: "Report! My lord, Mr. Song is here! Before the words fell, I saw Song Wenqing and Song Qiaohui walking into the Governor's Mansion together.
Song Wenqing came to Chen Zhong and hurriedly saluted: "Song Wenqing pays a visit to the prince." Then, he turned to greet Liu Yongfu.
Cen Chunxuan was surprised how could Song Wenqing know Chen Zhong? So, he said, "Wenqing, do you know?" ”
Song Wenqing smiled and said: "Lord Cen, what are you doing, quickly tell your people to retreat, they are all your own people, why do you use knives and guns!" ”
It turned out that Song Wenqing's father Song Tianfu and Cen Chunxuan's father Cen Yuying have been close friends for many years.
As early as 1857, when suppressing the Muslim uprising, Cen Yuying and Du Si He Youbao conquered Hongyan and rewarded Dai Lanling for his merits.
In that year, Hengchun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, committed suicide in anger, and the governor of Yunnan, Shu Xingato, left office due to illness, and the political envoy Sang Chunrong also protected the governor of Yunnan, and the political situation in Yunnan was in chaos. Cen Yuying felt that the future was bleak, so she used the excuse of raising money to raise courage and return to Xilin.
At that time, Song Tianfu, a wealthy family in the southwest, donated silver salaries free of charge to recruit troops for Cen Yuying. This time, because of this exploit, Cen Yuying successively served as the governor of Yiliang County, the governor of Lunan Prefecture, and the prefect of Chengjiang, and acted as the political envoy of Yunnan.
Seeing that he had made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, the Qing court appointed him as the governor of Yunnan, and then concurrently served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, making Cen Yuying one of the only eight feudal governors at that time.
Cen Yuying has always believed that Song Tianfu is his destined nobleman, because it is Song Tianfu's donation that makes him rise rapidly when he is most disappointed, and he will rise to prominence.
As a result, Cen Yuying and Song Tianfu had a close relationship, and they were called brothers, and the two families became close friends. Cen Chunxuan and Song Wenqing were the closest playmates and brothers when they were children.
The arrival of Song Wenqing and Song Qiaohui also surprised Chen Zhong. Because, this trip to Guangzhou, except for a few officials in the Hainan Palace, no one else knew, how did they know the news?
Chen Zhong looked at Song Qiaohui who was snickering on the side, and understood, this must be the Miss Song in front of her who was worried that Chen Zhong would be in danger and pestered Song Wenqing.
With Song Wenqing's original personality, he is unwilling to get involved in political matters, but this baby daughter has been entangled again and again, and there is really no way.
Song Wenqing actually saw his daughter's mind a long time ago, and he knew that his daughter had reached the point of infatuation with this king of Hainan.
wanted to prevent her daughter from having a relationship with the king of Hainan many times, but this infatuated daughter was like being tricked by a love demon, and she couldn't extricate herself at all, and Song Wenqing had no choice but to let the situation develop naturally.
During the time when Song Wenqing got along with Chen Zhong in Hainan, he concluded that this person was definitely not a thing in the pool, and one day he would turn into a dragon and fly into the sky, maybe these were all destined.
Cen Chunxuan saw that Song Wenqing and Liu Yongfu in front of him seemed to be lobbyists of Chen Zhong, and felt that he was isolated among them.
Because, both of these are inextricably linked to their own families and are extremely close relatives to themselves.
General Liu Yongfu was also an anti-French general whom his father Cen Yuying highly respected. In that year, Cen Yuying returned to Yunnan and became the acting governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
At that time, when the Qing court ordered the officials of the southwestern feudal region to discuss in advance the three articles of the "Li Bao's Discussion and Strategy Method" for the purpose of the provisional meeting, Cen Yuying first replied: "The border can be divided but the north cannot be cut off, trade is allowed but the factory profit is not divided, bandits can be driven away but Liu Yongfu is not suitable for expulsion." These ideas of his did not change until the end of the Sino-French War.
Cen Yuying highly admired General Liu Yongfu, and once wanted to secretly help Liu Yongfu, the commander of Vietnam's Sanxuan, so that he could "defend the more officials and the more land". Every month, he secretly helped Liu Yongfu with a salary of 5,000 taels as a salary, and allocated 20,000 taels of silver to Liu Jun.
The flowering cannon cast by the Yunnan army, shoveled out the handwriting, and gave more than 20 statues to Liu Jun. He also wanted to take back the banner and clothing of the Yunnan army sent out of the customs, and let Liu Yongfu send someone to take care of it, and the silver and arms were still supplied by Yunnan Province, but he did not get the consent of the Qing court.
Despite this, Cen Yuying and Liu Yongfu still cherish each other, and they both appreciate each other very much.
Cen Yuying often educates Cen Chunxuan to be an official and take Liu Yongfu as a model, be loyal to the country, never be foolish and loyal, and put the interests of the nation and the country first!
Today, these two two people who have an extremely close relationship with the Cen family have arrived at the Governor's Mansion at the same time, and it seems that they must have come for this king of Hainan.
Cen Chunxuan couldn't figure it out, how could the king of Hainan, who was the same age as his son, have the ability to let these two come to act as lobbyists for him?
Still, Liu Yongfu broke the deadlock and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Governor, the question before the old decay has not been finished, and the person I am talking about is the King of Hainan!" ”
"The King of Hainan? Old General Liu, don't make this joke in front of your own officials! The King of Hainan is just a traitor that my Qing court is crusading against, how can he save my Heavenly Dynasty from fire and water? ”
Liu Yongfu nodded affirmatively and said: "How can you lie to the Governor at an old age, not to mention, look at my great dynasty, how many people can turn the tide in this dire situation?!" ”
Song Wenqing also chimed in: "Lord Cen, what General Liu said is very reasonable. I think that my Qing Dynasty has reached a precarious point, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all self-preservation, who can still raise their arms and shout, even if they have this courage and courage, who can have the strength to save my Huaxia from disaster? ! ”
Cen Chunxuan raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhong, who was still smiling calmly, and seemed to see firmness and hope in that young and handsome face.
