Early in the morning, Cen Chunxuan in the Liangguang Governor's Mansion was reading the battle report of the Liangguang Battle, he frowned, got up and paced in the room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Report! Your Excellency the Governor, General Liu Yongfu asked to see you. "The guards of the Governor's Palace have come to report.
When Cen Chunxuan heard Liu Yongfu's name, he was stunned at first, and did not answer the report of the guard officer, but turned his back and pondered.
Cen Chunxuan pondered for about five minutes, and suddenly turned around: "Please General Liu!" ”
Liu Yongfu walked to the living room of the Governor's Palace, and Cen Chunxuan greeted him with a smile: "Old General Liu, long time no see!" ”
"On weekdays, the governor is busy with state affairs, and the old man doesn't dare to disturb the adult, but today he has something important to report to the adult, so he came to bother the adult early in the morning."
"Come on, show General Liu tea!" Cen Chunxuan motioned for Liu Yongfu to enter the inner hall to talk.
Liu Yongfu asked Cen Chunxuan straight to the point: "The old man came this time to consult the governor for the war between Guangxi and Guangxi and the Russo-Japanese War. ”
Cen Chunxuan said with a smile: "This governor has always respected the heroic general Liu, thinking that back then, the old general once fought against foreign enemies with blood, and he was really a fierce general of the Qing Dynasty and the pride of the nation!" ”
"Your Excellency the Governor has spoken! The old man is a descendant of Yan and Huang, a soldier of the Celestial Empire. Those who resist foreign invasion and kill enemies for the country are really within their own hands, and they are not worth mentioning! It's just that the old man is very worried about the current situation in my country! ”
"Oh, how does Old General Liu feel?"
"I don't know what adults think of the battle between the two Guangzhous in front of you?"
"My 200,000 elites of the Qing Dynasty gathered in Liangguang to encircle and suppress the remnants of the bandits, and the war in Liangguang should be completely under the control of our Qing army."
"Your Excellency the Governor, I heard that the Qing army in Guangxi has been surrounded in the narrow area from Nanning to Qinzhou, and it is in danger, but the Hainan army is temporarily surrounded but not suppressed.
When Cen Chunxuan heard Liu Yongfu's words, his original expression of indifference suddenly turned stiff, his face twitched, and he asked, "Old general, do you mean that it seems that the current situation has a turning point?" ”
The reason why Cen Chunxuan asked like this naturally has his reasons. Cen Chunxuan is not having a good time this time, and at this moment, Prince Qing and Yuan Shikai of the imperial court are doing everything possible to put him to death.
Because of his fierce temperament and jealousy, Cen Chunxuan impeached more than 300 local officials at one time when he was acting governor of Sichuan.
When he became governor of Guangdong, he deposed 1,400 officials and went home to farm. His behavior made officials of all sizes talk about "Cen", so Cen Chunxuan got the evil name of "Slaughter Official".
It is precisely in this way that Cen Chunxuan offended many officials of the imperial court and also offended the interests of Prince Qing, so Cen Chunxuan, who was righteous and fierce, became a political enemy that they were eager to eradicate.
The two most troublesome things for the imperial court today are that the Russo-Japanese War in the northeast has caused great dissatisfaction among the people at home, and there are many clouds.
The second is that the Qing army in the battle of Liangguang was defeated and retreated, and the elite Qing army, known as 200,000, was so vulnerable in front of the Hainan army.
Now, the imperial court is having a headache for these two things. If, at this juncture, anyone can turn the tide and will definitely be in the court, then Lafayette will also rely on this person very much.
In other words, this person will definitely become an indispensable talent for Lafayette and the Qing court, so no matter how powerful he is in the government and the opposition, no matter how deep the background is, he will not be able to defeat him.
Cen Chunxuan's current situation, in his opinion, the best opportunity is that during this period, he can become the warrior who can turn the tide.
If this is the case, he can rely on this merit to sweep away the power of Yixuan, so as to gain the favor of the imperial court and effectively protect himself.
Thinking of this, Cen Chunxuan asked eagerly: "General Liu, what do you think, let's hear it." ”
Liu Yongfu picked up the tea and slowly tasted it, paused and said: "Lord Cen, if there is one person at this moment who can solve the problem of the Northeast and the embarrassing situation of the two Guangzhou, what do you say, what will the imperial court think?" ”
"Of course, that is my hero of the Qing Dynasty, and he will definitely be favored by the imperial court, and he is the hero of my Chinese nation! However, in the whole world, I think it is difficult for anyone to do such a great thing that will leave a name for eternity! Cen Chunxuan shook his head helplessly.
Liu Yongfu stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "However, according to the old man, there is indeed a person in front of him who can really do it!" ”
Cen Chunxuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Yongfu, who was confident, and said, "Isn't the old general playing Cen Mou?" ”
"Lord Cen is a feudal official, the governor of Liangguang, even if he has a little meager work, he doesn't dare to say jokes in front of adults, he doesn't dare to joke!" Liu Yongfu put away his smile and looked at Cen Chunxuan seriously.
Cen Chunxuan suddenly came to his senses again and said, "Old General Liu, come quickly!" ”
"This person is ......" Before Liu Yongfu could finish speaking, he saw the guards of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly running to the inner hall to report.
"Report! - Your Excellency the Governor, there is a man in front of the door who claims to be Chen Zhong, the king of Hainan, who wants to meet the Governor! ”
Cen Chunxuan stood up when he heard the guard's report, pointed at the guard and said, "Say it again, who do you say wants to see this official?" ”
"Hainan King Chenzhong!"
"You! How many people did he bring? ”
"Two people, to be precise, a person who claims to be the king of Hainan, and an entourage."
Cen Chunxuan laughed out loud, kicked over the guard and said, "Why did you come here to report without asking clearly, the king of Hainan only brought one guard to my Liangguang Governor's Palace?" It's a fantasy! Get lost! After asking clearly, I came back to report, didn't I see that the official had something important to discuss? ”
The guard was scolded by Cen Chunxuan, touched his head and retreated, and said to himself: "Did he say that he was the king of Hainan, why didn't people dare to come?" Didn't you kill British sailors in Guangzhou last year, and the heroes of the world are the world's heroes, where do you dare not go? ”
The guard came to the door again and asked, "Can you ...... this guest officer?"
Before this guy finished speaking, Chen Zhong took out a token of Hainan Wangfu from his waist and handed it to him: "Give it to your Lord Cen and tell him that it is really the king of Hainan who wants to come to see him, and it will be replaced if it is fake!" ”
The guard took the token, looked at it carefully, then looked at Chen Zhong and Yan Xia, turned around and returned to the meeting room of the Governor's Palace.
When Cen Chunxuan saw the token of Hainan Palace, he was taken aback, and muttered to himself: "It's really this traitor!" ”
Cen Chunxuan immediately came to the door of the living room and ordered loudly: "Come on!" Arrest this traitor Chen Zhong! ”
