So after Wang Bin received the edict about himself as the governor of the three eastern provinces, he immediately said that he would accept the edict of the imperial court, and then first said that he would definitely work hard and never disappoint the emperor, as for what Wang Bin thought in his heart, the devil knows.

After Wang Bin sent this edict to the imperial court in the form of a telegram, he issued an order to stop the mobilization of the army, since it was now certain that Yuan Shikai was dead, why should he take a huge risk to avenge a dead man?

A dead person has no value, and instead of taking risks for a dead person, it is better to think about what to do with it in the future.

Wang Bin is not the only person with this kind of thinking, Wang Shizhen, who is far away in Beijing at the moment, also thinks so, at the first time of Yuan Shikai's assassination, Wang Shizhen led troops to block the Beijing Division, and also launched a search for the Beijing Division overnight.

But Wang Shizhen has never found the murderer, and Yuan Shikai has always been unconscious at this time, looking at the unconscious Yuan Shikai, so Wang Shizhen has always been with Yuan Shikai, hoping that Yuan Shikai can wake up as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

For this reason, Wang Shizhen also refused the requests of many ministers and dignitaries, including Shang Shu Tieliang of the War Department.

It can be said that Wang Shizhen has always been by Yuan Shikai's side, and also refused the meeting of all parties, Wang Shizhen's move is worthy of Yuan Shikai.

Originally, when Wang Shizhen first arrived at the station, his heir died of illness, his face was thin, his body was weak, and he was smiling, so Yuan Shikai did not think that he had anything peculiar, but when he was not discussing the military, Wang Shizhen was comprehensive and very planned, so Yuan Shikai was overjoyed and thought that Wang Shizhen's talent could be reused.

Immediately, Yuan Shikai began to vigorously promote Wang Shizhen, and Wang Shizhen was also grateful to Yuan Shikai for his kindness, and he has always followed Yuan Shikai's pace.

It was precisely because of Yuan Shikai's vigorous support of Wang Shizhen that Wang Shizhen's achievements today were made, so now when Yuan Shikai is in the most danger, Wang Shizhen has been waiting by Yuan Shikai's side.

But people die like lights out, even if Yuan Shikai was so supportive of Wang Shizhen during his lifetime, but people always have to think about themselves, in the brightly lit hospital, Wang Shizhen stood in front of Yuan Shikai's cold corpse and looked at the edict given to him by the imperial court, Wang Shizhen finally made up his mind and followed the court.

At this moment, this man named Yuan Shikai has a miserable face and has long lost his majesty, this man who once organized China's first new army and made Beiyang step by step the largest faction in the court, is now just a cold corpse.

Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and said: "My lord, Pingqing has done his best, and now Beiyang is no longer the Beiyang led by you, my lord, so don't blame the Ministry for taking this step." ”

After all, no matter how much you Yuan Shikai supported yourself before, when you Yuan Shikai was assassinated, I, Wang Shizhen, were already doing my best to hunt down the murderer, and during this time, Wang Shizhen also refused to be wooed by all parties, even if Wang Shizhen was solicited from the imperial court, he ignored it.

But now the situation is different, Wang Shizhen has to continue to be an official, it is impossible to ruin his future because of a dead person, not to mention that now the imperial court has let Wang Shizhen serve as the governor of Zhili, in front of Yuan Shikai's kindness and his own future, Wang Shizhen still chose his future after all.

The reason why Beiyang is a whole is because there is such a soul figure as Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai's prestige is also great.

Just like this small faction of Wang Bin outside the Guan, the reason why Wang Bin was able to command the military forces of the three towns under his command, but the imperial court could not do this was because of Wang Bin's existence, and the three towns were unanimous with the outside world, and that was because Wang Bin maintained the interests of this collective.

These officers under Wang Bin because Wang Bin gave them enough benefits, and Wang Bin had great prestige in their hearts, just like Yuan Shikai's prestige in Beiyang, so these three towns obeyed Wang Bin's words.

But if Wang Bin, who has been promoted to the soul figure, dies, this small faction under Wang Bin will be like the current Beiyang, fighting for power and profit.

Therefore, under the premise of Yuan Shikai's death, these officers who were really ready to send troops to seek justice for Yuan Shikai will inevitably give up seeking justice for a dead man, and instead put their own future at the forefront, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses due to small losses.

Therefore, from this time Cixi's move really reflects superb political means, through this trick Cixi will need to be wooed, regardless of whether the people who have been co-opted are really loyal to the court, Cixi doesn't care about these, no one cares whether you are really loyal to the court or not, as long as these Beiyang officers who were co-opted by Cixi can stand here in the court, you must know the benefits that can be seen in these years, no one will want to know what you really think in your heart.

At this point, Cixi did not throw out a deal to deal with it, but simply turned the contradiction between the imperial court and Beiyang into a contradiction within Beiyang

In fact, the focus of the matter is no longer that the Beiyang family rebelled and overthrew the imperial court, but the internal dispute in Beiyang.

After Wang Bin, Wang Shizhen, Wang Yingkai, Duan Guizhi and others received the appointment of the imperial court, they quickly expressed their allegiance to the imperial court.

The attitude of Wang Bin and others is also very obvious, that is, watching the play, anyway, now that he expresses his allegiance to the court, it has nothing to do with him, and Wang Bin's attitude is even more concerned by the court, Wang Bin has the military strength of three towns in his hands, which is not allowed to be underestimated by anyone.

Therefore, the imperial court is very concerned about Wang Bin's attitude.

"What is Wang Bin doing outside this gate now?" Tie Liang's office of the War Department in the Beijing Division, Tie Liang sat above and asked his subordinates below.

"My lord, Jinzhou was indeed as we expected before, at the beginning, Wang Bin was indeed ready to send troops outside the customs, and even the mobilization before the war has been completed, but after the will of the imperial court was issued, Wang Bin's Fengtian Standing Army has been released from the state of mobilization, and his troops have returned to the garrison one after another."

"These things have been known before, so isn't there anything new now?" Tie Liang thought in his heart after listening to his subordinates' words

"It seems that this Wang Bin seems to have settled down, so that the biggest trouble has been settled, and there is nothing to worry about next." (To be continued.) )
