Chapter 145: Choosing a Side
"Last night, Zhao Guanhou and Zhang Shaoquan were in Tonghetang and ate the second watch? It's so interesting, this Zhao Guanhou is not a disciple of Huaijun, if so, he is Zhang Shaoquan is a disciple. I heard that many of the gangsters in Jinmen were born in the Huai Army, and that was Zhang Shaoquan's blood and bones. ”
In Xila Hutong, inside Zhang's house, Zhang Yinheng analyzed the information reported while using his breakfast. He used to be the queen mother's favorite minister, and later because of the emerald hat to blame, now although the curtain is not there, but the holy family Youlong is still a hot celebrity in the court. Of course, it is not a military aircraft, but Banzai is often summoned, and the authority is extremely heavy, and there is no shortage of talents such as Bao Inquire.
Zhao Guanhou and Zhang Shaoquan met yesterday, and invited a top Oiran like Yang Cuiyu to accompany him, but he couldn't hide it, but as soon as the morning dawned, he got the news here. Zhang Yinheng himself is not a woman, but he likes to be a princess, and he recently holds the inner court for worship, and the name of the Hui class is Qin Wujiu. The two were eating breakfast together, listening to the report, Qin Wujiu said: "I heard that Jiuxiao Tian Ye mentioned this Zhao Guanhou, his family is a gangster of several generations, no one has ever been a soldier, and he should not be from the Huai Army." ”
"Oh, it turns out that Boss Tian also recognizes him? Since it's not Huaijun, it's easy to say, this person is a talent, and if he can pull it over, it will naturally be the best. I'm also getting older, and my energy isn't as good as it used to be, so it's actually a good thing to have such someone to worry about me. It's just that his brain doesn't seem to be very useful. Zhang Shaoquan is already an outdated dead tiger, what can he give him? Could it be that if he becomes a woman from Bada Hutong, he will fall to Hefei? ”
"It's hard to say, I heard that he was in Jinmen, and he almost jumped into the oil pot for his woman to cut half of his finger, but he was kind and righteous." When Qin Wujiu said this, there was a hint of flattery in his eyes, as if he was singing spring resentment on stage: the poor negative crossbow filled the front.
Zhang Yinheng smiled: "Oh? Then this person is a lover, but no matter how much he is a lover, he has to figure out first, who is in charge and who is in charge now. Zhang Shaoquan relied on the favor of the saint and hung a bachelor's title, and his real power was gone. Now long live the government, determined to seek innovation, if he can be used to raise his brain, show his strengths, do a good job of foreign affairs, do not worry about glory and wealth, and seal his wife and son. If you can't see the situation clearly, I'm afraid that it will be the future, and there will be no end. ”
He nodded and called his subordinates, gave a few commands, and then called a car and went straight to the affairs yamen. When they arrived outside the yamen, the person who went to look for them had already arrived. I found a few scholars in their twenties, all from Guangdong, and the leader was Kang Zuren, who had a relationship with Zhao Guanhou.
Although there are not many bigwigs in the imperial court, there are still many people in the lower classes, among the Guangdong villagers, many people are still involved in it. Most of these scholars should be unfavorable, and they are waiting for the next department in Beijing. Zhang Yinheng is not only their fellow countryman, but also can not only borrow money from the door, but also provide aid to the Olympics. The rapid development of the National Protectorate has a great deal to do with Zhang Yinheng, the main sponsor. Even if you don't care about the name of Kang Shengren, you have to consider the face of Lord Zhang, because in the capital, scholars and students are actively participating, and its momentum is greater than that of the original strong society.
Kang Zuren is already a general in the National Defense Association, although his literary talent is not outstanding, but there are still many students who respect him as a saint. This is especially true in the Conservative Congress. Since his brother is the chief, it is natural that the brother should hold an important position.
Every member of the National Protectorate has the glorious mission of saving the country and the nation, and must educate the people and open up the wisdom of the people in order to live up to the name of protecting the country.
The specific work is to divide the four nine cities into regions, each with its own responsibility, and pull pedestrians to cry bitterly every day in the area they are responsible for, shouting that China will die, Dajin pill and the like. It's a pity that these people have lived in Guangdong for a long time, and the official words are not good, although the crying is true, but the words are difficult to understand, often the common people only see them crying, but they don't understand what to say. If it weren't for the fact that they were dressed like scholars, I am afraid that they might have to hand over a few pieces of money to deal with.
In addition to the errand of the Minister of Affairs, Zhang Yinheng also served as the official of the Ministry of Households, which was naturally extremely broad, and Yu Bao was also the first financial owner. With the injection of funds, it is not difficult to cry on the street, and these people who failed to take the imperial examination just stayed, and when they cried for three years, they came to the exam again, but they saved travel expenses. is just taking people's money, naturally they have to listen to people's drives, and with him recruiting each other, these people dare not come. When he followed into the government office, Zhang Yinheng smiled and looked at a few people
"I have called you here today because I have a wonderful thing to tell you, and Zuren, especially you, should listen to it. Prince Henry's visit and the reception of the imperial court, you naturally know. However, in terms of attachés, the number of Zhang Jing of the affairs yamen is limited, and it is not enough to use, so it must be hired from outside. Wait a while, that Zhao Guanhou Zhao is here, and a few of you will follow him on an errand. Wherever he goes, you go, and what he does, you will see and learn more. This Zhao Guanhou was born in the Tianjin Gangster, and was rewarded by the Queen Mother with a four-grade top, and then won the Zhongshuai Baoju, and now he is temporarily charged with a second-grade top, and his own position is to be a pipe belt in the new army. If you want to learn a little more and practice the new law, you must first have new vision, have more contact with foreigners, and open your eyes. ”
Although these movers were unfavorable, their minds were not dull, and they naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Yinheng's words. Zhao Guanhou has his own position, and secondly, he is just a gangster, and he can't compare to himself These people are on the right path and a military attaché, which is not compatible with Wen Yamen. As long as the matter of welcoming the prince is done, when the credit is shared in the future, Zhang Yinheng will protect him, and the credit of his own people may be greater than his, at least it can be equally divided. He still has to go back to the small station to lead the troops, and if he waits for others, he can take root and settle down here in the affairs yamen, and he can also be awarded an official position without going through the field.
In addition, the meaning of the words is also to let his people secretly monitor and grasp the actions of Zhao, it seems that he and Master Zhang are not on the same road.
Kang Zuren hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang." Then should we go and meet this Lord Zhao and see each other first? How should we get along with each other? ”
"There is no need to meet him, I have already sent someone to pass on him, and it will not be long before he should come. You are all working for the court, and you don't have to divide one high or low, but the number of etiquette that should be spoken should not be messed up. It would be best if he could also join the Conservative Congress. ”
At this moment, Zhao Guanhou had already rushed over with Zhang Jing, who was already following a affairs yamen, and entered the door to give a salute, Zhang Yinheng said: "Your errand is not here, and it is also very difficult to mobilize." For the time being, I will give you the title of Yamen Zhangjing, who is the general manager of national affairs, and after the errand is completed, it will be decided whether it is really removed or not. In this way, we can negotiate on both sides. In addition, it is not convenient for you to act alone, so I have selected four subordinates for you to meet. ”
Zhao Guanhou got up and turned around, and saw four young people coming over, and he knew that he was from Guangdong just by listening to the accent. In his previous life, he was very familiar with Cantonese, and he didn't sound pressured at all, but when he saw a familiar face inside, it was Kang Zuren who he had seen before, and he frowned slightly
"Kang Zuren? Did we meet last time? ”
"Yes, you once came to the Protectorate and listened to your brother's speech." The matter of ten cents is considered a great shame for the Baoguo, and the roots of Kang Zuren's teeth are itching, but it is only temporarily inconvenient. I wanted to pretend that I didn't know and fool the past, but the other party took the initiative to mention it, which was a bit of a public disappointment. With a gloomy face, he peeked at Zhang Yinheng, hoping not to lose the reputation of the Protectorate in front of a few companions.
Zhao Guanhou no longer asked him, but went to ask a few other students, "Then let me ask one more question, I don't know how many of you are listed in the newly established Baohui Association in the capital?" ”
"Of course, we are all members of the National Protectorate, and we all want to contribute to the country, protect the family, protect the country and protect the religion."
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Guanhou turned around and arched his hand towards Zhang Yinheng, "Lord Zhang, I'm really sorry, these attachés will all return in the next place, not only them, but also anyone who protects the country, I will not accept any of them." ”
Zhang Yinheng has already considered that Zhao Guanhou does have the possibility of not accepting these people, after all, he is not his subordinate, and he has no control over him. But this arrangement, in fact, is also a test, if he is willing to accept these people, it proves that this person can be co-opted, or can be used for his own purposes. If you don't agree, no matter how good or bad the errand is, you can't stay.
But the way of refusing in person was unexpected by him, this was already a suspicion of being slapped in the face, with the gap between each other's official positions and even qualifications, where did Zhao Guanhou get the confidence and courage to compete with himself? Do you really think that Zhang Hefei, who has been idle, can keep him?
Zhang Yinheng's face sank, "Lord Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Although you are not my subordinate officer, you are the co-organizer and I am the organizer of this meeting with Prince Henry. You're in my hands, there's nothing to say. You listed Zhang Jing's title, and you are also a subordinate of the affairs yamen, why, I, the court official, arranged a subordinate for you, but I can't arrange it? ”
"Lord Zhang, the lower official is the pipe band of the new army, not the official of the affairs yamen, and you can't control my head. Besides, it's okay to arrange subordinates, but I can't put people who talk nonsense and bring disaster to the country and the people. If they cause some great trouble in the future, won't they implicate me? If you arrange a few others, forget it, protect the country's people, not one. ”
Zhang Yinheng's heart was furious, but on the surface, he calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, if you say so, then the official is also from the National Protection Association, how should we deal with things between you and me?" ”
"How? Let's do it. Zhao Guanhou was originally standing opposite Zhang Yinheng, Zhang sat on Zhao Li, at this time he suddenly took two steps forward, and he had already arrived in front of Zhang Yinheng's public case, without waiting for Zhang Yinheng to speak, he grabbed the public case, and then lifted it upwards hard.
The rice paper was all over the sky, the ink was splashed, and the pen holder fell to the ground and became in half. Zhao Guanhou practiced the foundation of wrestling, and his arms were extremely powerful, and he overturned the public case at once, and the utensils on it were scattered all over the ground. From Zhang Yinheng to those few moves, they were all stunned and at a loss, Zhao Guanhou turned around again, came to Kang Zuren, slapped him in the face, and then pointed with his hand
"You people from the Protectorate Association let me meet again, see me once, and fight once!" Without looking back, he strode out of the meteor, leaving only one sentence: "I won't do this errand to receive foreign envoys!" Zhang Qiaoye, you just have to think about it, I am waiting for you! ”
A newly transferred military attache actually opened the official case of the official Zhang Yinheng, and it didn't take half an hour for this matter to spread the entire affairs of the yamen. Someone sent this message to King Qing, who was discussing the reception with King Shiduo of Li, and was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he became angry, slapped the table and scolded: "Bastard! It's against him! In this eye, is there any royal law? Where is the other person, pass on my words, tie him up, give him a good beating, and give Master Zhang a smooth breath. ”
"If you go back to the prince, the person has already left, probably back to Jinmen, or back to his residence."
"This is more and more unusual, how can you just say go, this is too lawless, the bandit is difficult to change, this is the thief nature. This matter, this king must take care of it, go to the fold to join him, you have to let him have a good memory! Is Master Zhang okay himself? He broke something to make a list, and he must compensate this Zhao according to the price. ”
Although his words were ruthless, his attitude towards dealing with it was obviously on the light side, plus Zhao Guanhou entered Beijing, which was originally his guarantee, so he smelled the smell obediently, and I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as a simple trick. Yes, even in terms of checking the whereabouts of the visit, it is also a false story, but Zhang Yinheng himself sent a business card to the infantry commander Yamen and asked Chongli to send troops to take people.
At Zhao Guanhou's residence, Sai Jin's eyebrows flew and danced, "It's good!" If you want me to say, it's not enough to just lift it, you should really beat him up to get angry. That dead ghost in my family was planted on a map back then. I heard that the map was given to Tiele by Zhang Yinheng, in order to harm my man and harm Zhang Shaoquan. Not only did it let outsiders get hundreds of miles of land in Dajin for nothing, but it also killed my man. You're also angry with me. ”
"That's to make me angry, nothing is wrong with Hong Zhuangyuan." Shi Gege scolded, and said to Zhao Guanhou: "I know that you are standing up for me, but you don't have to do it so desperately, right?" Zhang Yinheng is in the yamen, and he can't get along with Amma, there is this. But you can't sweep his case, what's the difference between this and slapping your face. If he has a seizure, what will you do if you let the officers and soldiers take you? ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled: "What should I do?" Have you forgotten where I came from? The gangsters are not afraid of being beaten, if he asks the soldiers to beat me, I will go out and sell a beating, so that he knows that the gangsters are not easy to mess with. I didn't commit the crime of killing my head, and I still have a yellow coat on my body, and he dares to kill me? As long as he hits me, I will throw this pot on his head, and then I will see who is uncomfortable. ”
He also thought about how to deal with the relationship with Zhang Yinheng, but in the end he decided to find an opportunity to make a scene and completely break the relationship between the two. On the surface, what won him over was nothing more than Zhang Hefei and Zhang Yinheng, and the conditions offered were not high, but in fact, what was involved behind this was the dispute between the emperor and the queen. Zhang Hefei is still there, Zhang Yinheng is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is the opponent of Pi Ni Li, and because of the emerald matter offended Cixi, it is destined to be impossible to restore relations with the Queen Mother.
If you get too close to him, sooner or later you will be hated by Li Lianying and even the Queen Mother, and you are destined to move closer to the imperial party. Instead of this, it is better to make a big fuss, let everyone know that he and Zhang Yinheng and even the Baoguo are in the same situation, and other things, there are their own bigwigs, and they just wait for them to fight and compete.
