Chapter 682: Zuo Zongtang Arrives in Nanjing
Worship room. The most important duty is to manage the affairs of the house, the so-called "person who specializes in the affairs of the emperor's intercourse", whenever the emperor and the woman roll the sheets on the bed, the person who respects the room must make a detailed record. However, the deputy head of the Jingshifang is nothing more than a six-rank official, and his official position is humble. It can be said that Li Zhen almost beat An Dehai to the bottom.
In fact, if the emperor is in the prime of life, it is not bad to be the head of the worship room.
Because the emperor wants to sleep with a woman, he has to turn over the brand, and the manager in charge of the worship room can naturally get the favor of the harem concubines, can have a lot of oil and water, and can also have a reward relationship with the harem mother, and it is easy to soar. But now the little emperor is not even a year old, and it is impossible to sleep with a woman. He went to the worship room and had nothing to do.
Such an errand with no future made An Dehai extremely disappointed.
He looked at Ci'an with a look of longing in his eyes.
At the moment, it can only be Ci'an and Cixi who save him, and he can only hope for two masters.
Seeing that Li Zhen was strong, Cixi sighed in her heart, but raised her voice slightly, and said in a deep voice: "King Zhennan, the mourning family is the queen mother of the dynasty and the emperor's biological mother, if the relationship between the king of Zhennan and the mourning family is stiff, it will not be good for anyone." He Guiqing and Li Xuyi will not fight for their positions as scholars, but they must retain their official positions as governors. At the same time, An Dehai continued to serve as the chief eunuch. King Zhennan is already the king of the Qing Dynasty with a different surname, and he is also an auxiliary minister, and he has power all over the world, and he hopes that King Zhennan will think twice. If the situation reaches the point of no return, it will not be good for anyone, especially for the king of Zhennan. ”
Threats, it's naked threats.
An Dehai, Li Xuyi, He Guiqing and others, but their eyes showed joy.
Li Zhen didn't expect Cixi to say this, and secretly said that this woman's psychological quality is indeed good. It's a pity that Li Zhen didn't intend to compromise at all, he knew one thing very well, when fighting for power with Cixi and Ci'an, he must not compromise. Once compromised, they will use the same means to threaten next time, so Li Zhen is determined this time.
If you want to clean up, you have to clean it up fiercely.
Li Zhen raised his head and said fearlessly: "A gentleman's word, it is difficult to chase a horse." As the Auxiliary Minister of the Imperial Court, what I say will not change, and what I need to do must be done. ”
Cixi's face changed greatly, and she felt that Li Zhen in front of her was really different.
In the past, Li Zhen led the army to Nanjing and was polite to them, but now he feels that he is aggressive everywhere, leaving no room for anything. In fact, Cixi and Ci'an didn't want to think about it, the two wanted to conspire to seize Li Zhen's rights, which was already the opposite of Li Zhen. When it comes to the struggle for power, Li Zhen will definitely not be soft-hearted, whoever is soft-hearted, who will be killed in the end.
Cixi said in a deep voice: "King Zhennan, have you thought it through? ”
In the end, she couldn't help but ask again.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "The minister wants to say, has the Queen Mother really thought it through?" ”
As he spoke, Li Zhen's eyes fell on the little emperor. The corners of his mouth were hooked, and a murderous expression appeared on his cold face, revealing a cold killing intent, as if he was a fierce beast that chose people to devour.
Seeing this, Cixi suddenly shuddered.
She suddenly understood that Li Zhen was using the little emperor as a threat! If the two sides really tear their faces, Li Zhen will not care about the life or death of the little emperor. In addition, if it is divided today, the Taiping Army, the Twist Army, and the foreigners are in chaos one after another, and there is Yi 60 in the north, the whole country is in chaos, who cares about the life and death of the little emperor!
Cixi sighed, and a strong sense of powerlessness arose deep in her heart.
Seeing this, Li Zhen turned around and left.
An Dehai remained in the palace, but he certainly could not continue to stay with Cixi and Ci'an, while He Guiqing, Li Xuyi, and Xu Naizhao were taken into custody by soldiers and could never leave Nanjing.
Li Zhen asked the soldiers to control the situation in the palace, and asked someone to find Han Laiyu.
In the hall, the guests and hosts are seated.
Han Laiyu took the lead and said, "King Zhennan, is there anything wrong with finding the miscellaneous family?" ”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Does Gonggong Han know what happened in the palace today?" ”
Han Laiyu said: "I know a little bit about it! ”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "There is an accident in the palace, I will ask Gonggong Han to be the chief eunuch and take care of the situation in the palace for me, what is the will of Gonggong?" "For the affairs of the harem, Li Zhen doesn't have too much energy to take care of them one by one, and more energy must be on big things. Besides, Li Zhen didn't want a fire in the backyard when he went on the expedition, so he had to find someone he could trust.
There is no doubt that Han Laiyu is the best candidate.
Han Laiyu looked at Li Zhen and could already feel Li Zhen's ambition, because Li Zhen no longer took the people in the palace in his eyes, and began to control the women in the palace.
The people in front of me are afraid that they are Cao Cao and the like!
Of course, this is also the result of the situation in the world. The so-called troubled times produce talents, and if there is chaos today, there will be a chance for Li Zhen. If it belongs to the peaceful and prosperous era, it will be difficult for Li Zhen's ambition to be realized. This era gave Li Zhen's ambition a chance to take root. Han Laiyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King Zhennan, you promise the miscellaneous family a condition, and the miscellaneous family will obey the dispatch of the king of Zhennan." ”
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Say!" ”
Han Laiyu said: "No matter what happens, I hope that King Zhennan will keep the emperor alive, this is the only blood of the first emperor." The miscellaneous family only has this one condition, and there is nothing else to ask for. ”
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, Gonggong Han is refreshing." ”
Han Laiyu respectfully saluted Li Zhen, turned around and left the hall.
……
A month is fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, it was already October, and during this period, Li Xiucheng, the temporary commander of the Third Division, Smith, the commander of the Fourth Division, and Zhou Xiuying, the commander of the Fifth Division, had already entered the regular training of the army.
Previously, the open conscription of the three had ended, and now it is a large-scale training of soldiers. At the same time, Li Zhen had replaced the governor of Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu, and replaced them with his own people. Li Zhen left Li Xuyi, He Guiqing and others, and he had already made up his mind to deal with this person, even if there was no problem, he could fabricate a problem. In addition, the people who went to the provinces did find out that these three guys were not good birds, so Li Zhen confidently dismissed the three of them from their official positions and controlled the three provinces in his hands.
As for Cixi and Ci'an in the palace, they have died down.
The two hit the iron plate here with Li Zhen, and they could no longer shake Li Zhen. In addition, there is also the big eunuch Han Laiyu in the palace, and Li Zhen has already monitored the harem. In this case, Cixi and Ci'an had no privacy to speak of, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Li Zhen.
In the city, in the barracks.
Li Zhen took Huang Shihai and was inspecting the soldiers' conditions. He had already made it clear that he wanted to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army, but when recruiting soldiers, countless people flocked to him, and he easily recruited soldiers from three divisions. Everyone knows that Li Zhenquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and Li Zhenjun is well treated and has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so it is easy to recruit soldiers.
There are enough people, and problems arise.
It is necessary to improve combat effectiveness.
Every seven days, Li Zhen would enter the army for a major inspection. In a month, Li Zhen has been checked four times. This time, Li Zhenru was in the army to inspect the training of the soldiers. Li Zhen knows very well that the army is his foundation, without the army, there would be no him today, and without the army, he would not be able to stand firm, so he attaches great importance to it.
Li Zhen made an inspection and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li Zhen asked, "Commander Huang, how often do the soldiers in the army compete?" ”
Huang Shihai said: "In the past, I competed in Guangzhou once, but now I don't have one. ”
Li Zhen shook his head lightly, and said earnestly: "Doing cars behind closed doors is the most inefficient training method, if you want to make the soldiers in the army become hungry wolves that scream, you must have sweetness, and you must also have comparison, so as to stimulate the soldiers to the greatest extent." Appropriately take out some money as a reward for the competition, or take out better guns as a reward, and be sure to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers. ”
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "The three divisions stationed in Nanjing must have healthy competition, and they must compete with each other and advance with each other. If you are born in the martial arts, you must know that the master of martial arts or the grandmaster of the martial arts world has definitely challenged countless people and confirmed by countless martial arts masters in order to have some achievements. The soldiers in our army can't train behind closed doors, understand? ”
"Yes!"
Huang Shihai nodded, his eyes flashing with a gleam of Dao essence.
Li Zhen's words gave him great inspiration.
"Report!"
The soldier's shout came, the curtain of the tent was rolled up, and a soldier walked into the tent, raised his hand to salute Li Zhen, and said loudly: "Marshal, Mr. Zheng said that your old friend from Beijing is here, please go back immediately." ”
"The old man of Beijing?"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart who is the old man in Beijing?
Could it be Gui Liang?
Li Zhen thought about it, but shook his head secretly. Gui Liang, as the old man of Yi 60, and Gui Liang is good at observing words and feelings, and he is also the minister of military aircraft in the DPRK, so it is definitely impossible for something to happen. But who is coming to Beijing? Li Zhen was also a little anxious in his heart, and immediately left the barracks and headed towards the Zhennan Palace. Soon, Li Zhen returned to the house. When Li Zhen walked into the hall, he saw the people standing in the hall, and his face suddenly smiled.
"Brother Ji, why are you here?"
Li Zhen looked happy and strode towards the hall.
Ji Gao is Zuo Zongtang's word.
The old man from Beijing is Zuo Zongtang. In the past, when Li Zhen was in Beijing, he talked with Zuo Zongtang several times, and the two talked very happily because they were confidants. Later, the Yi 60 rebellion, Li Zhen took the little emperor, Cixi and Ci'an to the south, but Zuo Zongtang stayed in Beijing, and Li Zhen deeply regretted it.
After all, it was Lang Fei that such a handsome man stayed in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Zongtang came to Nanjing. Zuo Zongtang was also extremely happy when he saw Li Zhenyi's joy. Although the person in front of him is already the king of Zhennan, his temperament has not changed, and he is still so bold and casual.
Zuo Zongtang couldn't be rude, hugged his fists and said: "Zuo Zongtang, the grass people, has seen the prince." ”
"Grass people?"
Li Zhen blinked and said, "Brother Ji Gao is a soldier in the army, how did he become a grass people, is it difficult to ......?"
Li Zhen began to beat the drum in his heart, and Zuo Zongtang became a grass farmer, didn't this give him a chance? Li Zhen's heart began to beat thumping, and his eyes flashed with excitement. Prior to this, Li Zhen had come into contact with a series of celebrities, but there were almost no people who could really take it for their own use, because none of the people under his command could leave a heavy mark in history.
However, the person in front of him is brilliant and has left a mark in history. Without waiting for Zuo Zongtang to speak, Li Zhen said again: "Brother Ji, what is going on?" ”
"Alas, it's hard to put into words!" Zuo Zongtang sighed.
