Chapter 368: Murder of Zhongliang (Part II)
Rodley shrugged his shoulders: "Very generous conditions, I don't have any reason to refuse, do I?" However, I wanted to know what I had to give. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoI have to say that I will not betray my integrity and concoct such a thing as fake news, I will not do it. ”
"It's not fake news, but I have some news to tell you, and it's okay for you to send it to the newspaper. Furthermore, even if you don't do fake news, if a press release comes to you, do you send it or not? ”
Rodley smiled, "That's fine, I won't do anything that would damage my professional life and reputation, but I won't refuse a friend's request." For other things, you can figure it out yourself, here in The Times, and I will make it easier for you. ”
As soon as this head was finalized, Zhao Guanhou's second appointment was Xiao Dezhang. Approaching his birthday, Xiao Dezhang has a lot of things, especially Li Lianying's age, his energy and physical strength are not as good as before, Xiao Dezhang, the second manager, is busy and almost has no time for a moment. However, Zhao Guanhou was invited, and he still went to the appointment on time, and the place where the two met was the next place of Sai Jinhua.
Although Xiao Dezhang is a eunuch, he likes ****, and a very red girl next to Sai Jinhua, Ning Zhu, is a good match, as soon as he arrives here, he will order her to serve. Zhao Guanhou met, without saying a word, and directly handed over a red envelope. Xiao Dezhang opened the envelope and saw that it was a silver ticket of 50,000 taels, put it up, and pushed it back.
"Brother, if you say three festivals and two birthdays, give me a little gift, I will definitely accept it. But such a large amount, you are going to scare me to death. Everyone is brothers, if you have anything to say, as long as I can do it, there is absolutely no reason not to do it, use money to open the way, this will be no brother's righteousness, and I will never dare to take it. I, the second manager, am not more expensive than Cui Yu, first, I am younger, secondly, I have a shallow foundation, and I don't have such a big Taoism in the palace, and I don't dare to say that I can eat it thoroughly with Lafayette. If it's too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”
"It's not big, it's not small, big brother, don't be in a hurry to seal it, I'm just asking you something. Suppose there is a person who commits a big taboo in Galeries Lafayette, and then you find evidence, do you pay it or not? ”
Xiaode said: "There is nothing to say about this, it is natural to pay, if you don't pay, there will be no loyalty." Lafayette wants people, he wants to be loyal, and he doesn't even have loyalty, what is the use of such a minion. ”
"That's it, the eldest brother doesn't have to do anything, as long as the younger brother gives you things at that time, the eldest brother hands them over to the Buddha, and you don't have to worry about other things. The 50,000 silver is for you, and I will raise another sum of money and give it to Pi Ni Li. ”
Xiao Dezhang thought about it, and still didn't take the envelope, "You keep this money and send it to the general manager, let's have fellowship with brothers, I rarely see you so angry, I think it's the matter of the Beijing newspaper, right?" The principal of Beijing News is Wang Kangnian, his friend is Cen Chunxuan, and his backer is Zhai Hongji. Thinking about it this way, you are going to touch Zhai Dajun's plane...... I don't dare to get involved in this. ”
Ning Zhu smiled at this time: "Second manager, what you said, the concubine is about to laugh." Who doesn't know that the second chief manager is exquisitely and well-informed in the palace. You don't need to charge into battle, as long as you are a deaf to God, you are doing Second Master Zhao a favor. God knows this, you know and I know, don't you believe in the concubine, afraid that I will leak the news? If that's the case, I'll leave now. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled and pushed the envelope towards Ning Zhu's eyes, "Miss Ning Zhu's words are good, this money is not accepted by the eldest brother, and Ning Zhu's sister-in-law will accept it for the eldest brother." Big brother, you only need to tell one or two of the news in the palace to the younger brother, and the younger brother has his own arrangements here. ”
Xiao Dezhang snatched the red envelope and put it back in front of Zhao Guanhou's eyes, "I will definitely say the news, but I can't ask for money." Ningzhu, if you take this money, I won't come here again in the future. Whether you want the money or me, you can figure it out for yourself. ”
Ning Zhu smiled, "Look, what a temper, I don't dare to mess with the second manager, since you have something to say, this money slave won't take it." You two chat, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look, I know that the second manager has been busy recently, and specially stewed a ginseng angelica chicken for you as a tonic, this time it's time to see. No matter how much you scare me, in my heart, I always have the second manager. ”
She deliberately hid out, just to give the two of them time to talk, and Xiao Dezhang said: "Brother, there is indeed something in the palace, I want to tell you, this matter has something to do with you." Lafayette lost his temper in the palace yesterday, saying that King Qing's father and son were too disagreeable, collecting money and selling officials, and doing too much. Princess Rongshou was in the middle and mud, and things didn't get up. ”
"Well, that's the news. Big brother, my brother has suffered a loss this time, if you want to take revenge, you have to help my brother, you have to help me. ”
"I didn't say this, with the condensation, some things are not easy to say. If I can do it, I'll do it for you, but I'll be cautious now. Galeries Lafayette is getting high in spring and autumn, and his body is really enough, but now he has added a problem and diarrhea. Frequent stomach troubles are not a good disease, and I have to leave a way back for myself. ”
"Understood. How is there for the emperor? ”
"It's not good, the emperor's body is a little weird, when Lafayette is in good health, the emperor is not in good health, but he can make do with it. As long as Lafayette is sick, the emperor's body and bones will follow, which is also an interesting anecdote. Now the queen is waiting by his side, and outsiders can't touch the edge. In the end, it is a couple who grab a bun, and they are closer than others. ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded, he already understood the meaning of the other party's words, 50,000 taels of silver tickets, handed over again, but Xiao Dezhang insisted that he would not accept "No merit and no food, this is my rule." Our own brothers, whoever hurts you, I will beat him, it is the righteous anger of my brothers. Brothers cannot help each other, and if they do not do merit, they cannot receive gifts. You keep this money, if you want to do such a big thing, if Pi Nili doesn't help, you can't do it. Also, Princess Rongshou, you also have to prepare one. ”
The princess of Rongshou was very upright and almost didn't ask for money, but as Cixi's body deteriorated day by day, Princess Rongshou seemed to have a plan to leave a way back for herself. Calculated twice, the approximate amount of silver taels needed is about 300,000 taels.
As soon as she heard this number, Cuiyu's body couldn't help but tremble, and she shook her head and said, "No...... It can't be done. The belongings that Guanhou has worked hard to accumulate can't be pasted into for jade, it's not worth it. I'm from such a lowly background, so I have to let them say and scold, I just don't see it. From now on, I will live with you, and I will not go out of the door, and it will be useless for them to scold me. I was born in a hospital, and I lived a life of anger, I could endure any anger, and I could act as if nothing had happened to the newspaper. ”
"You can act as if it didn't happen, I can't." Zhao Guanhou pulled Cuiyu and kissed her on the cheek, "I don't care how Zhai Hongji deals with me." But if he deals with you, I won't give up with him, as long as you can be happy, the 300,000 silver will be worth it. ”
"I'm happy, I'm so happy. But what I'm happy about is not that the crown marquis can be angry for me, but that you are willing to give up 300,000 taels of silver for me. If you have this heart, I will die without regrets, as for the matter, I calmed down and thought about it today, Zhai Hongji is a Hanlin Qinggui, a humble gentleman, such a text does not seem to be his handwriting, maybe the old man is wrong to blame. Let's spare him this time. ”
"No, I don't care if he did it or not, in short, he has to carry the pot of the Beijing News, I don't kill him, I am already giving Yuqing face. But this thing must be done, for you, I am willing to pay as much as I want, 300,000 yuan, I can still take it. ”
King Qing held the red gold of Zhao Guanhou's filial piety to make a jade-mouthed cigarette gun, looked at the Times in front of him, and showed a cruel smile on his face, "China's positive situation will change greatly, and the Queen Mother intends to change the center." Haha, this news is well placed. This is what the Queen Mother said to Shanhua, besides him, who else can release the news? I know Lafayette's temper best, and she hates it the most, revealing her secret conversations to outsiders. As soon as this newspaper came out, I promised that Lafayette would hate the good to the bones. I just don't know if the newspaper can fall into the hands of the Queen Mother. ”
"Father-in-law, rest assured, Xiao Dezhang, Pi Ni Li, and Princess Rongshou, the three lines will send the newspaper over, no matter which line works, it can be. It's impossible for all three lines to not work. ”
King Qing nodded and said, "That's good." These 300,000 can't let you go out alone, there is no reason for this. Weiting has entered Beijing, his Beiyang service is 100,000, I will give you a subsidy of 100,000, and you can take 100,000 yourself. ”
"Don't dare, my father-in-law's family has a big business, Lafayette has a birthday, and there is still a reward in the palace, and the son-in-law can't let you make money again. Besides, this time the military salary reimbursement still depends on the face of the father-in-law, so it can be done smoothly, Zhang Zhiqiu didn't dare to card me. The son-in-law should also be filial to the old Taishan. ”
"You don't have to thank me for this, it's Lafayette in the palace who has something to say, the three provinces outside the border are the land of the ancestors, and recovering the ancestral hometown is the first great achievement, compared with this credit, how much military spending is not much. Whoever dares to spend money on this matter is a traitor! There is such a sentence, who dares to stand up to the cow, Zhai Hongji has already suffered a small loss, plus the newspaper, he is two crimes into one, I think he has jumped to the head in a few days. I've been disgusted for so long, and this time I'm happy to give him this time! 100,000 taels of silver to buy me a pleasure, cheap, too cheap. However, just this time, he can't let him go, is there a trick? ”
"There is nature, but now is not the time, when Lafayette celebrates his birthday, no one dares to add blockage, and when the birthday is over, the son-in-law has his own way."
Zhao Guanhou was called three days ago, and the queen mother's solo pair played alone for more than an hour, and Cixi's current physical condition was already a rare grace. Zhao Guanhou also found that Cixi's spirit and brain power were not as good as before, far from the capable and shrewd old woman he had seen before, and he occasionally had to think for a while when he spoke, which must have been the result of the anesthesia of the central nervous system by the big smoke. If her estimation is not bad, this old lady will not live long.
But a weakened tiger is still a tiger, and it cannot be underestimated in the slightest. Zhao Guanhou completely annihilated Taoke Taohai, and the secret music of Fusang against Tiele helped the imperial court expel the great disaster of Tiele, which was the best birthday gift for Cixi. Compared with Zhao Guanhou's ginseng Dongzhu, she was even more happy.
Therefore, after the independence, the will was issued, and Zhao Guanhou added the rank of squire of the military department and the right deputy of the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and was actually awarded the title of governor of Shandong, and the deputy envoy of the Military Science Department of the Military Training Department, and the commander of the fifth town of the Gyeonggi Army. Reward the head product to wear, reward the wolf skin mattress, and reward the three-eyed flower. One person is both a civilian official and a military rank, and the military and political power is held by one person.
Zhao Guanhou also knew that Cixi's arrangement was actually under the suggestion of King Qing, and the purpose was to use himself as a pathfinder. A group of young Jurchen people are studying military affairs in Fuso, and it won't be long before they return to China. The appointment of these people after returning to their home countries is a big problem. Like themselves, they are all young, and they do not have the qualifications to be born in the imperial examination, and according to the normal procedure, they cannot be governors and ministers, and it is difficult for them to master the soldiers. Cheng Zhen wants to be the governor of the three eastern provinces, but he is not qualified.
Carry yourself out first, use yourself to divert your attention, as long as your position is stable, in the future, you can take yourself as an example, the children of the banner people, and the relatives of the clan, you can send out at will to master the military handle, without considering the rules and regulations of the past. From this arrangement, it can also be seen that the constitutionalism of Cixi is fake, and it is true to take the opportunity to take power.
No matter what she thinks, Zhao Guanhou's own benefits have fallen, and Zhai Hongji's previous layout is to prepare to snipe him as a governor. As long as the imperial court has a motion, it will immediately take the Yang Cuiyu incident as a starting point and launch a challenge. It is best for Zhao Guanhou to send some materials himself, so that the court can realize that he is young and knowledgeable, high-flying, and unusable.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guanhou did not rush to counterattack the Beijing Daily, and there was no reflection on that report. Zhang Xiangtao's view of Zhao Guanhou is acceptable, and he has formed an alliance with Yuan Weiting to implement the new policy, and he will not do bad things.
At this time, the strategy of engaging in military salaries in the household department is unwise, not only can not stop Siheng, but may be used by Zhao Guanhou and put himself into passivity.
Zhai Hongji saw the opportunity quickly, and greeted the household department in time, and the verification and write-off of military salaries in Liaodong were all unimpeded, so that King Qing's plan to take advantage of this to make trouble was not sold. In this round of fighting, it seems that each has a victory or defeat, Zhao Guanhou won half a move, but in the eyes of King Yu Qing and Zhao Guanhou, what he won was not just half a move.
"Since Zhai Hongji became a military aircraft, the policy he has pursued is mainly to rectify the rule of officials, which has stood on the opposite side of hundreds of bureaucrats. Besides, he is too upright and doesn't leave room for others, even Zhang Xiangtao can't stand him. Zhang Xiangtao went to Beijing to serve as a military aircraft, and Zhai Hongji went to Huguang to check the accounts, which was in line with the queen mother's wishes, and sent Tieliang Tie Baochen to Huguang to check the annual accounts and rectify the deficit, this is not Zhang Xiangtao's life? ”
Zhao Guanhou said: "Father-in-law, please think about it, Xiangshuai is famous in Huguang for making money like mud and sand, and he has made 20 million dollars of silver over the years, where is the calculation clear." If he fills the shortfall, even if he goes bankrupt, it will be difficult to make up for it. Zhai Dajun's plane was for the good of the court and wanted to increase the income of the treasury, but unknowingly, he forced Xiangshuai to his death. So Zhai is down, Xiang Shuai will never come out to make trouble, but will help. Now in the cabinet, there is basically no talk for Zhai Hongji, and the inner court is also our person, so it is not difficult to get rid of him. But if Cen San doesn't fall, he can't fall. Just pouring one Cen San is not enough to get angry, and we have to take the pieces of fat from the railway and the postal service. (To be continued.) )
