In the capital, in the palace of the alcohol king, Cheng Feng, who received the secret report, almost collapsed on his seat in an instant. In the previous secret discussion www.biquge.info, Zhao Guanhou's argument that he supported his troops and would be opposed after a long time was the main reason why their brothers advocated killing Zhao Guanhou. During the discussion, the inevitability of Zhao Guanhou's rebellion has been clearly demonstrated, and it seems that the next moment, he will raise troops to make a rebellion and threaten the capital. For the sake of the country and the society, they should be beheaded to avoid future troubles. But when it really happened, Chengfeng found that he was not ready to deal with his rebellion at all.

The feudal division of the imperial court faction was crippled by his concubine, although the public reason was that Yushan molested Jiang Fengzhi, and the Jiang family was angry and defended himself, but this reason was full of contradictions and flaws, and it was impossible to convince the public at all. Everyone knows in their hearts, this must be Zhao Guanhou's instigation, and he made a move on Yushan.

The members of the court were beaten and disabled at will, which is no different from rebellion. Although the fifth town did not take the oath to go out and rebel, the Chengfeng brothers all believed that it was just a matter of timing. All previous calculations and layouts were based on this rule. Once the other party completely ignores the rules and breaks away from the existing system, they find that they simply do not have the power to impose penalties on the offender.

Shandong is the sphere of influence of Albion and Prussia, Zhao Guanhou has always had a good relationship with foreigners, Albion Minister to China Zhu Erdian has a very good relationship with him, and Prussia has sent a large number of officers to serve as instructors in his troops. It is said that he also had a 1,000-strong Prussian rifle corps, and if he rebelled, the Prussians would most likely take a supportive attitude.

The relationship between Mrs. Jensen of Warby Bank and Zhao Guanhou is not a secret in the upper echelons of the officialdom in the capital, and having such a woman means that he can borrow a large amount of foreign debts to enrich his military salary, and the troops are both armed and have combat effectiveness, and if he wants to fight against the Fifth Town, what troops should he come up with?

Although the imperial court sent a military officer in the fifth town, after Yushan took office, he was unable to establish contact with the other party, and the position and power of these military officers were not reassuring.

The meeting in Beifu was held for two days, and Cheng Tao, who had been ambitious before, would only repeatedly scold Yushan for being useless, obsessed, and ruining the big thing. Cheng Feng said very anxiously: "It's useless for you to scold the slave now, think about how to deal with the surnamed Zhao first." How many troops can you use in the War Department to level him? ”

"It's hard, it's so hard. There is a town in Shandong and a mixed association, as well as police investigations, fire brigades, and defense camps. Although there is our flag city, we all know what kind of quality those soldiers are, and we can't even withstand it for half a day when we fight. Once there is a rebellion, Shandong will definitely lose. As for the six towns of Beiyang, the first town has to stay in the capital and cannot move, and the other towns are in the same vein, so they can't be trusted at all. Henan's No. 1 Mixed Association, I don't think it's reliable, and I can't expect them to enter Shandong to quell the rebellion. The eighth town of Huguang is a defeated general under Zhao Guanhou, and it is useless. Tie Baochen kept asking for orders, saying that he was willing to lead troops to Shandong to quell the rebellion, but where did the soldiers come from? ”

"If you have soldiers, you can't give it to him! Tie Baochen leads the troops? After he leads the troops, can he still get this military power back? Chengfeng snorted, "Old Seven, you have to be clear, why can Zhao Guanhou become a climate?" Isn't he still a soldier? If we had taken all the soldiers into our own hands, would he have made trouble to this day? I can see through it, the military power must not be given to outsiders, and if we want to level the fifth town, we brothers have to take command ourselves. ”

"In command? This...... There are so many things in Beijing, let's go away. Zhang Xiangtao's body is no longer good, that is, this is the matter of these days. If he is alive, he can still be managed in the capital. As soon as he didn't, Fifth Brother, if you don't stay in the town, can you still lead the troops to the battle? ”

Cheng Feng thought for a while, but found that his subordinates either had no generals available, or they did not dare to use them. It is necessary not only to guard against the Han generals and encroach on the authority of the banner, but also to prevent Shuzong from taking power to the detriment of his relatives, and it is also necessary to pay attention to not allowing King Xiaogong to benefit. After several calculations, except for his brother and a staff member, there were few people available.

He scolded angrily: "Usually they boast that they have praised themselves to the sky, but when the matter comes, why don't you say anything." Isn't it possible, isn't it fighting, come on! Now why can't even choose a general with troops. ”

Just when Cheng Tao was embarrassed, the door was pushed open, and Fuzi came in with a tray with chilled sugar water. "Lord Wang, you drink sip sugar water first, press the fire, Seventh, you can play outside, don't make your brother angry here."

Although Pingsu and his sister-in-law are extremely incompatible, at this time, Cheng Tao is grateful to Fuzi from the bottom of his heart, without her to save him, he didn't know how to pass this level, and escaped by this step. When he went out, Fuzi closed the door, and then looked at Chengfeng angrily, "Lord Wang, you are also angry, open your mouth to fight, close your mouth to fight, if I am the seventh brother against you, say beating, what about military salary?" What do you say to him? When the time comes, let people ask, or suffer their own losses. ”

Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, "Salary? The Queen Mother doesn't have any internal money, it's no problem to ask two million to come down, this is a major event of rebellion, how can you not use money. Besides, Chengze manages the branch, he has to give money. ”

Fuzi snorted, "My lord, it's not me talking about you, why don't you go outside, listen to the wind and talk again, or make people laugh." The queen mother's internal money, don't count on it, let's not talk about how much she uses to reward people indiscriminately. Just said that she wanted to build the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a big list. Do you think about this little bit of guilt yourself? Who doesn't want to eat this industry, you grab it with them, it's too late. As for the Du branch, I won't speak, as soon as I speak, you can say that I instigated discord in your clan, and I won't complain about this. ”

Chengfeng knew that Fuzi's words were not lost, so he hurriedly took her hand and forgave her with a smile, and Fuzi said: "Whoever makes us husband and wife, I will offend Chengze." He withdrew 1 million of the money from the degree branch and used it to speculate in stocks in Songjiang. If you let him take the money now, it is equivalent to letting him take his life, and it is no wonder that he is not in a hurry with you. When the time comes, I'll turn my face with you, but don't say I didn't warn you. ”

Cheng Feng patted his head with his hand, "Cheng Ze, this is my life!" You speculate in stocks at this time, I don't have a salary for fighting, what do I take? ”

"You can't pay for it. There are a total of six towns in Beiyang, and to solve one town, at least two towns must be used. If we lose both sides in a fight, half of our vitality will be gone. When the time comes, the snipe and the clam will fight, the fish will benefit, and the Ge Ming Party will make trouble again, but no one will do it. Besides, your lips are cold and your teeth are cold, Lord Wang, you think about it, you killed Zhao Guanhou today, what do you think about the control of other towns. If the control of all towns joins forces to make trouble, will we still be able to protect our country? ”

Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, "Fujin, you said so, but this time it looks like it's going to rebel, do you just look at it?" ”

"My lord, think about others in the first half of the night, and think about yourself in the second half of the night. If you change places, if someone teases your favorite, can you agree? Yushan, a minion, went to the local area to do mischief, which provoked this change. Now is the time to go against the grain, not to make mistakes. Zhao Guanhou did not really raise troops, and things can always be reversed. If you really listen to those people talk about beating and killing, you will be fooled. When the time comes, no matter whether you win or lose, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. What's more, in a war, they must go to the book, ask the Queen Mother to hang the curtain, and run the military plane. The curtain is easy to erect, but it is not easy to remove, you can figure it out, who will take advantage and who will suffer when the time comes. ”

Cheng Feng's expression changed when he was said this, "Fujin, what you said is right, why didn't I think of this layer?" But...... But what now? ”

"This thing is easy to do, if you don't use knives and guns, and if you don't use your armor, you can just go to Dingfu Street and let Uncle Qing write a letter to appease your uncle." said that the imperial court absolutely did not mean to move his governor's position, the fifth town was his, and the governor was also his, and he would definitely not rebel. Wait until this turmoil passes, and then slowly find a way to control him. After all, you are the king, he is the minister, and he is afraid that he will not have a chance to do it? ”

Cheng Feng nodded while listening, and finally looked happy, "Fujin, you are really my Zhuge Liang, I see that these staff members in the house who eat idle meals are not as good as you." ”

Fuzi smiled, "Go, pay attention to let people hear, what is the matter, why don't you hurry up and pick a gift for Uncle Qing?" ”

Seeing Cheng Feng's elated appearance, Fuzi sneered in his heart: Stupid, you are still fighting with my eldest brother Guanhou, and you are not his opponent. Wait until this level is over, and if you want to move him again, you will suffer a big loss.

Originally, King Qing was already anxious because of Chengzhen, so he had to follow what Zhao Guanhou said, and was ready to fold his resignation and close the door to thank the guests. However, after a lifetime of rebellion in Shandong, outside the gate of King Qing's mansion, it became lively again. Many people came to the door to dredge the joints, saying that they had no holiday with Uncle Zhen, and they were impeached in this book, but they were also dragged by others, so don't hold a grudge.

King Qing's people are old and sophisticated, and they know that these people are worried that the Shandong soldiers are advancing rapidly, so they directly hit the side of Qingjun in the capital. He is used to pretending to be stupid, and he only casually perfunctory to everyone's words, and refuses to tell a word of truth. Until Chengfeng came in person, the meeting was an apology and an apology, as if there was someone else who had opposed this Uncle Wang before, and he also answered vaguely. only said that the children were not responsible for the father, and the children were not filial, and so on, obviously they were not ready to take care of things.

Cheng Feng knew that this was King Qing taking the bridge, so he had to be careful and said: "Uncle Qing, in the military aircraft department, only talk about the public, regardless of the seniority of the clan, this is the idea of King Xiao Gong, as soon as the seniority is discussed, he will have no generation." I don't approve of this, wherever you go, you are my uncle. Who else is there after we finish the Yan family's righteous words, aren't you left? You said, when something happens, if we don't look for you as juniors, who else can we look for? ”

"No, it's old, it's useless. Cough...... cough" King Qing pretended to cough a few times, "I can't even take care of my own family's affairs, how dare I take care of state affairs?" Old Five, you can do it, let me live a way, and let me be the king of freedom for a few days. When I was young, I was a poor clan, and when I got old, I was busy hitting the back of my head. Now, when it is time for me to be happy, don't you want my life if you let me come out again? ”

"Uncle Qing, you can't say that. Brother Zhen's affairs outside the customs are not done well in some places. What kind of virtue do those old men have, Uncle Qing, you know best, you can make trouble if you have nothing to do, let alone now. So they go to the book, don't take it to heart, as long as the little nephew is still in this prison country, he will not pay attention to these excerpts. Originally, we promised to make a constitution in nine years, but now, the government and the opposition are calling for a constitution day by day, and I am afraid that we will not be able to wait for nine years. In a few days, the little nephew will be ready to abolish the Military Aircraft Department and formally establish a cabinet. The status is equivalent to that of the prime minister of a foreign country. ”

King Qing shook his head, "Prime Minister? I can't do that. You are a prisoner of the country, if I become the prime minister, won't I break the rules? This prime minister's business cannot be done. ”

"If you don't come to be the prime minister, who dares to be the prime minister, and who deserves it? This country is our Yan's Clan, and the Cabinet must also be Yan's. Others, don't want to get involved. The little nephew swears to the sky, if you don't let you be the prime minister, I will thunder and thunder! ”

He swore and swore to make an expression, and King Qing seemed to have no choice, so he spread his hands and said, "You guys, aren't you chasing ducks to the shelves." How can I be the minister of the general office, this is to exhaust me. ”

Seeing that King Qing accepted the appointment, Cheng Feng mentioned the matter of Shandong, and King Qing looked puzzled, as if he had heard the news for the first time. "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard? Also, I'm not in good health these days, I haven't gone out in the house, and I don't know what happened outside. How did you say this, how dare this little beast be so bold and dare to open the court officials. Fifth child, you don't have to give me face, you can catch it, you can kill it, my daughter is widowed, that's her life, I promise not to intercede with him. This grandson is going to apostate, even the feudal division dares to fight, and there is no royal law! If you don't do it, you can't do it, and if you beat me, you won't be able to explain it! Write a decree and arrest him! ”

Cheng Feng scolded the old fox countless times in his heart, and he had to smile on his face, "Uncle Qing, if you don't say that, Guanhou is also confused for a while, and if you look at the ten grids, you can't make that point." But now the atmosphere in Shandong is tense, and I heard that all battalions of Shandong infantry are on alert, and if something happens, it will be terrible. Can you write a letter to the crown marquis that the court has no intention of moving his governor, and will not take him from the position of ruler. To tell the truth, apart from him, who else in Shandong can make up for those foreigners. Whoever dares to move his place, I will not be the first to agree. It's just a bunch of minions doing bad things in it, making this kind of unpleasantness, you have to say a word to get rid of this knot, otherwise I'm afraid it won't end well. ”

"That's right...... This is not easy to do, that kid is not my son-in-law in name after all, how much can my face play, I don't dare to pack a ticket. Actually, if Rong An came out......"

Cheng Feng shook his head, "Uncle Qing, there is no need to mention this, don't talk about me first, it's the queen mother's pass, and you won't be able to get through." Absolutely will not use Yuan Rong'an. ”

"It seems that I lost my mouth. I'm just mentioning a name, not to use him. "King Qing's words were also received very quickly" But Lao Wu, I have to tell you, Zhao Guanhou has several enemies in the court. If these people are reinstated together, he is afraid that he will be killed, and if he does not fight, he will have to rebel. As long as these people don't go out of the mountains, I can speak for you and try to convince him. I'll write this letter when I get back, and you can send a suitable person to send it and talk to him about it. ”

The errand of appeasement was sent by Nawang Nayantu, who had a friendship with Zhao Guanhou when he ran the three eastern provinces, and he was also a brother-in-law. With him coming forward, one relies on in-laws and the other relies on favors, and it is always foolproof.

The king waited for Jinan, but he pounced. The governor's seal has been sealed and not used, and an old master named Zou Jingzhai received him, and when he asked about Zhao Guanhou's whereabouts, the old master said:

"The marshal knew that his sin was not light, so he resigned and took his wife and concubine to Songjiang. said that since he couldn't be an official, he would get some money and save it for later use. ”

Nayantu felt that he had been beaten head-on, and the governor of a province dared to go out of the province without following the order, and it seemed that Zhao Guanhou had indeed ignored the imperial court regulations. It is not wrong to say that he rebelled. He asked again, "What about his troops?" ”

"The people and horses of Fifth Town are conducting large-scale field training, and foreign teachers are fully responsible. Staying in Jinan, there is only an infantry standard under the 10th Association of Jia Junmen, do you want to talk to him? (To be continued.) )
