Li Zhen nodded. His eyes were full of gratitude.

However, Li Zhen thought of another problem that had to be faced. It's just that Long Xi and Lu Shaochuan went north with a few people, which meant that he couldn't wave his army north. He has informed the people that he will never recognize the contract signed by Yi 60. If there is no action, will there not be thunder and rain?

When Li Zhen thought about this, his heart suddenly dawned.

This matter can only be endured like this!

Li Zhen took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Long Xi, Lu Shaochuan, everything north of Heilongjiang is handed over to you, I hope you can cooperate sincerely." Go down and get ready and set off as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

Long Xi and Lu Shaochuan bowed and withdrew.

Two days later, Long Xi and Lu Shaochuan and their entourage were all scattered in makeup, all the way north, towards the area north of Heilongjiang. What they encountered next must be very difficult, Long Xi and Lu Shaochuan were already ready, and the two of them even had plans to sacrifice in their hearts.

Ci'an and Cixi were also relieved to learn that Li Zhen only issued a notice of protest but did not send troops.

In fact, with the current relationship between the two parties, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces definitely does not care about Li Zhen's life and death.

However, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces was concerned about the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

At this stage, the imperial court needs Li Zhen's support. Only the army under Li Zhen's command can take on this important task, and once Li Zhen goes north to fight against the Russians, it will definitely be no less than a catastrophe for the court where the little emperor is located. So the two don't want Li Zhen to have an incident, at least when the two of them don't have control over the military power, they don't want Li Zhen to have an incident.

……

In the backyard of the Admiral's Mansion, Li Zhen and Zhilan sat together.

Zhilan took Li Zhen's arm and said softly: "Husband, I am the only one in Nanjing at present, and the rest of the sisters are in Guangdong, so let's just invite them over." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Isn't it very good for the two of us to get along?" ”

Zhilan pinched Li Zhen's arm and said coquettishly: "Of course, the concubine wants to be alone with her husband, but she also has to take into account the feelings of her sisters, and she can't occupy her husband alone." I have to say that after Zhilan had a child, her desire to compete for favor faded, and she lost her jealousy as strong as she did at the beginning, and she was more concerned about Li Zhen's affairs.

This does not mean that Zhilan does not compete for favor, but the angle of Zhilan is different.

Zhilan has a son and a daughter, and she is irreplaceable in Li Zhen's heart. The rest of the people can't replace her, so Zhilan is more and more atmospheric, and her focus is slightly inclined towards her daughter and son.

Li Zhen looked at Zhilan's sincere face, scratched Zhilan's nose, and said with a smile: "Guangdong is our old nest, Alice and Gu Lina will not come to Nanjing." Instead, you'll have to take your two children to live in Guangzhou. ”

"Why?"

Zhilan blinked, a puzzled expression.

Li Zhen patiently explained: "As I said just now, Guangdong is our old nest, and I can rest assured that you live in Guangdong." Although Nanjing is good, I will have a lot of time to fight abroad in the future, and the queen mother of the two palaces is not the master of worry, and she will definitely look for officials to enter the imperial court to balance me, and not let my family dominate. When the time comes, I will feel uneasy and easily coerced if you stay in Nanjing. When you go to Guangdong, no one can influence me or threaten your safety, that's the best. ”

"Well, I see!"

Zhilan was a little scared in her heart, worried about the collision between Li Zhen and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

However, this is not something that she is a woman considers.

"Step! Trample!!! ”

There was a rush of footsteps, but it was Ye Chengxin who strode in. Ye Chengxin looked anxious and said, "Marshal, something big has happened in Guangxi, Brigade Commander Huang, Regiment Commander Yang and Regiment Commander Smith are already in the conference room, waiting for you to go." ”

"Good!"

Li Zhen responded and got up to leave.

After Li Zhen came to the conference room, he looked at the people sitting in the conference room and asked, "What happened in Guangxi?" ”

Huang Shihai's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the governor of Guangxi has controlled the entire Guangxi, and he has openly rebelled, and he has already played the banner of being the emperor. In addition, Guizhou is also ready to move, and there is also a tendency to follow the rebellion of the Guangxi governor. This is the news that has just come from Guangzhou, asking the marshal to wave his army south to sweep away the rebellion in Guangxi. ”

Li Zhendao: "What is the name of the governor of Guangxi?" ”

Huang Shihai replied with a solemn expression: "The name of the governor of Guangxi is Xi Yinglong, and he is a martial artist. According to the news that came, this person was extremely brave and very powerful. ”

Li Zhendao: "No matter how powerful he is, he must be exterminated!" ”

After a pause, Li Zhen said, "Smith, Yang Banhou, mobilize the legions of the two of you and prepare to go south with me." Huang Shihai, you commanded a regiment under Lu Shaochuan, and took over the nearly 4,000 soldiers recruited after arriving at the Jiangbei camp, and then controlled the thousands of soldiers recruited when they arrived in Nanjing, and all the soldiers were under your command. I left Li Xiucheng, Zheng Zaoru, and Huang Qiang to assist you, and with a few of them, as long as Nanjing does not encounter major events, there will be no problem. ”

Huang Shihai nodded in response, feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

This time, it was not as usual to sit in the rear. Because there is still a little emperor in Nanjing, and there is an unconscious queen mother of the two palaces, if it is not handled well, it will have an impact on Li Zhen.

Li Zhen continued: "Shihai, you came out with me, and I will give you an explanation. If the queen mother of the two palaces wants to control the military power, she will never allow it. In addition, when they see the foreign ministers, they do not need to stop them. But you have to understand one thing: military power is our foundation, and on this basis, you can handle all the big and small things in Nanjing yourself, and you don't need to ask me for advice. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai was trusted, and he was even more grateful.

Li Zhen said again: "I will enter the palace immediately and inform the queen mother of the two palaces, and you can prepare." ”

With that, Li Zhen left the Admiral's Mansion.

Li Zhen came to the palace and met Ci'an and Cixi in the harem. After Li Zhen saluted, he said straight to the point: "Empress Dowager Qi, the minister has just received the news that Xi Yinglong, the governor of Guangxi, has rebelled and is ready to establish himself as emperor. Moreover, Guizhou is also not peaceful, and there is a faint trend of following Xi Yinglong. The minister led the army to quell the rebellion in Guangxi, so he came to inform the two queen mothers. ”

Ci'an said in a deep voice: "You beat the mourning family hard, these chaotic ministers and thieves, all of them will be killed!" ”

Cixi then said: "Lord Li, you left Nanjing with a large army, who will protect us? Cixi and Ci'an talked, but from different angles, Ci'an was biased towards national affairs, and Cixi was more concerned about her own safety.

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Chen led 4,000 soldiers to leave Nanjing, and left nearly 10,000 people stationed in Nanjing. All the soldiers, commanded by my general Huang Shihai, ensured that Nanjing would not be affected. ”

Cixi nodded and said, "Okay, Master Li, go and try to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhen left, and Cixi's face immediately showed an expression of joy.

She took Ci'an's hand and said happily, "Sister, our opportunity has come." Li Zhen is leaving Nanjing, and while he is no longer in Nanjing, we can summon the governors, governors, and other ministers around Nanjing to cultivate our strength. Moreover, you can also install officials to enter the court and fight against Li Zhen, our opportunity has come! ”

When Ci'an heard this, he was also quite happy in his heart.

He didn't have a good impression of Li Zhen, and as soon as Cixi said it, Ci'an agreed.
