Years of familiarity with the imperial court have made Zhang Zhidong very clear in his heart that the imperial court will never be soft in this negotiation process, so even if there is no need to guess, Zhang Zhidong can know that it is not far from ten. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What the imperial court is talking about this time, it can only be a kind of delaying time, you see, once Liaodong's patience is worn out, the next thing is to launch an attack on the imperial court." After speaking, Zhang Zhidong took out a pack of cigarettes again, which was a Phoenix brand cigarette bought in a department store.

Yang'en Palace, hearing the news of Prince Qing's assassination, Cixi was terrified in her heart, what kind of place is this, where the imperial court is located, Prince Qing is not an ordinary person, but the current prime minister, the minister of Yamen, plus the Ministry of Rites, however, it is such a person, he actually killed people on the way to the court, and listened to the person who reported it. Prince Qing's intestines were interrupted for several knots. “

Who is so bold. Dare to do it in Chengdu, so Cixi was puzzled, and at the same time, she asked for more protection of the royal family, and the court could not be chaotic anymore.

Baoji. In the imperial defense headquarters, Liu Jun stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, there are two days before the New Year, if in the past, every second year, Liu Jun would go to Lushun Cemetery, where to bury, are all the people who have sacrificed for Liaodong over the years, but this time, he is afraid that he will not be able to go back.

"Would you like to go back?" Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, knew Liu Jun's thoughts, and asked after taking a step forward.

Go back, this time and again, it is estimated that it will take about ten days. Now that there is no news from the imperial court, how can I go back with confidence, shaking his head slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him: "If you don't go back, let's spend it here this year, and when you wait until Qingming next year, it's okay to go on a trip." Saying this, Liu Jun turned over and sat on the chair and looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him: "What is the movement in the imperial court?" ”

This one? Zheng Yiqian shook her head, she was dealing with a corruption case in the past few days, according to the investigation, the political adjutant in Henan was suspected of corruption, so now, she didn't have the energy to deal with Chengdu, but Zhong Lin knew this matter very clearly.

"You ask Zhong Lin, he knows, I don't know." For Liu Jun, Zheng Yiqian has always been talking to herself.

After all, Zheng Yiqian is not in charge of intelligence, and Liu Jun is not to blame, but nodded and said: "Zhong Lin, where did that bastard run again, since this guy came to Baoji, he has been running to Chen Cang twice in three days, is he fancy anyone." Liu Jun, who looked left and right, asked.

Hey, hey, hey........ Hearing Liu Jun ask, Zheng Yiqian smiled and said: "You are still his head, and I don't even know what people are thinking in their hearts.

It turned out that when he was in Li Village, Chencang, Zhong Lin fell in love with a girl named Li Yarong, who was very smart, and in the past few days, Zhong Lin would run to where to be courteous once he had nothing to do. It made the girl very embarrassed.

Oh, it turned out to be Sichun, Liu Jun, who heard this, smiled, Zhong Lin's wife Zhou Li had died of illness last year, and Zheng Mei was in the bowl all year round, and the average time with Zhong Lin would never exceed three months, and he didn't know how Zhong Lin survived. Smiling slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian: "If you don't make it, if not, I'll go and protect him." ”

"Doesn't seem to have one?" After Zheng Yiqian finished speaking, she picked up the document next to her.

"Head, Chengdu Telegraph." was discussing Zhong Lin's affairs, and he had already picked up the telegram and walked in.

"Chengdu telegraphed that Prince Qing had been assassinated, and in addition, the imperial court had ordered to negotiate with us, and this is the list of negotiating ministers." Speaking of this, Zhong Lin handed over the telegram in his hand.

Don't worry about these things for now, now Liu Jun wants to find a daughter-in-law for Zhong Lin. Liu Jun, who smiled slightly, looked at the list and said to Zheng Yiqian: "Order, let Li Hong." Wu Tingfang. Li Jingfang, come to Baoji quickly. Speaking of this, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin in front of him: "You go and change into a set of beautiful clothes, and come to me in half an hour." ”

This made Zhong Lin completely blind, but seeing Liu Jun's expression, Zhong Lin could only sigh and walked out.

"You go and buy a set of clothes with him, he doesn't have any level, he won't choose, the money will come from me, in addition, transfer a company of people from the guard, I will go and ask today, bring my commander's uniform,."

Liu Jun doesn't plan to pay a private visit to Weifu this time, he wants to go directly, try to have a happy wine with Zhong Lin when Li Hongzhang and others come, as for where Zheng Mei is, he will say.

"Don't forget to buy some gifts." Seeing Zheng Yiqian walking out, Liu Jun said again.

Okay, after so many years, my brother can be regarded as enlightened, thinking of the person here, Liu Jun smiled slightly and picked up the telegram in his hand, studying the personnel for this negotiation.

He must not appear, after all, as a commander, he can't do this, and the other party has a Zhang Zhidong and has a lot of ability, so he decided to let Li Hongzhang, an old fritter, serve as the chief representative of the negotiation, and he can just manipulate it in the back.

Lushun. Li Hongzhang's mansion, since Baoji came back, Li Hongzhang has not had a day of leisure, he dreamed that Liu Jun would go to Beijing quickly, as long as he went to Beijing, if he was not the emperor, then he couldn't help him, these days, he has given several commanders such as Feng Guozhang. Wang Shizhen, Qin Liang, Ding Ruchang, Yuan Shikai, Wu Datong, Wu Tingfang, Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuolin and others all sent telegrams, and their meanings were also very clear, the people who should have ascended the throne and become emperors a long time ago.

After receiving these replies, Li Hongzhang began to not send any telegrams to Liu Jun, and directly ordered the entire headquarters to be moved to the Forbidden City. And Li Hongzhang is here to direct the relocation work.

Everything is going well, if it is good, in two months, all departments will be able to move to Beijing, so Li Hongzhang is very satisfied.

"Father, I just received a telegram from Baoji, and Liu Jun asked us to leave for Baoji immediately." Li Hongzhang, who was eating, heard his son's words, raised his head and asked, "Those people." ”

"You, Uncle Wu Tingfang, and me."

It seems that there is going to be a negotiation, otherwise how could Liu Jun, this kid, let himself and Wu Tingfang go out, thinking of this, Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "Notify the Railway Bureau." Prepare the tickets, we will go to Baoji tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
