Zhao Guanhou just came by train from the capital, and now he has to take the train back, he can't help but feel that it is futile to go back and forth. Moreover, now that the capital is changing, it is a matter of abolition, and the involvement is not small, and it will be a mess if it is not done well. His family has not yet been able to settle down, and his heart is not at peace. It's just that Shangguan was sent, and he couldn't say these words clearly, so he had to keep them in his heart.

But Han Rong was old in the officialdom, and just by looking at it, he knew that Zhao Guanhou was worried, stretched out his hand and picked up a big order, shouted twice, and then transferred a material official from the back hall.

"You take my order, take fifty fast gunners, and go to Lord Zhao's house to guard outside. If the people on the other side of the defense camp dare to come, they will catch one by one, no matter who it is, they will be arrested first. Whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot! ”

"Wow!"

The material officer took the order, holding the order in one hand and leaving with the waist knife in the other, Han Rong smiled and said, "This is finally relieved, right?" In fact, you are also confused, as soon as the master is finished, Pang Delu will be finished. Without Pang Delu, a mere Pang Jinbiao, what is it in front of you? As long as you show off your yellow jacket, don't you scare him into slipping out? ”

Zhao Guanhou knew that most of the fifty fast gunners were also ambushes in Fang Cai's line. Han Rong's arrangement was certainly to reassure his own heart, but at the same time, it was not a threat. If you refuse to use it, it will be difficult for your family to be saved. He had no choice but to put on his crown: "Humble duty, let's go." ”

"Don't panic, the water and coal of the train have been filled, and you can leave with an order, you have a top here, and the official has equipped you with a complete line. Come and take a set of second-grade military attache uniforms. In addition, two new guns were taken, and 100 rounds of medicine were issued. ”

In his line, there is no shortage of military attache uniforms, and second-grade official uniforms and guns will arrive in a moment. Han Rong stretched out his hand from the page of his boots again and took out a 10,000 taels of Kuping silver ticket, "Lafayette is rewarded, this is Lafayette's reward, this is Ben Shuai's reward." I know that you have to work hard this time, but at the moment of the big event, everyone has to work hard, and when this level passes, you will have a bright future and soar. ”

This train was prepared by Han Rong a long time ago, there were not many people on the train, except for Zhao Guanhou, there were dozens of guards with Minny rifles and waist knives, all of them were long and large, with tiger backs and bear waists, and they knew at first sight that they were all warriors who were proficient in the art of fighting. When I got in the car, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, and neither of them had eaten dinner, and Zhao Guanhou's stomach had already begun to scream.

Han Rong commanded, and after a while, several soldiers came over with a marble tabletop, on which more than a dozen small dishes were listed, and someone else brought a jar of wine and two wine glasses. Zhao Guanhou was just about to get up when he was stopped by Han Rong

"It's hard to drink too little, and now it's this time, do you still talk to Ben Shuai about this set of false etiquette? It's good to sit and eat together, and it's going to be a few hours before you get to the capital. The car is simple, it can't be compared with the inside of the line, and the food is not palatable, so make do with some food, and if you have anything to say, wait until the matter is over. ”

Zhao Guanhou looked over and saw that there were more than a dozen side dishes, all of which were fresh vegetables and fruits from Tianjin, fresh seafood from the river, and he wanted to have a special ice bucket on the car to chill these river seafood flavors to ensure that they would not deteriorate. This simple table alone, I'm afraid I don't have a few dozen taels of silver, don't think about it. Just as he was thinking about it, someone brought several big dishes one after another, it was a dish of shark fin for white and a dish of fried prawns, which was what Han Rong called simple.

The wine jar opened, a fragrant smell was fragrant, Han Rong introduced: "This is the southern wine in the head of the twenty years, the former Yang Chongyin Yang Du came to Tianjin to see me, a gift, I am not good at drinking today, you can taste this wine, and take the rest home." ”

"Thank you for your favor."

"You're welcome, if you're happy, you should drink two cups if you're happy...... This is what he said, saying that he can't drink, but I'm a wine worm, forget it, have a drink, don't pour it for me for a while, don't pour it for me again," he said, and a messenger filled him with a glass ......of wine, and he held the glass and smelled it, and nodded incessantly. "Good wine...... Meddlesome. It's finally time for this day, and there is always salvation in this world. ”

It is said that the abolition of the Son of Heaven is a major event that shakes the country, and all the important ministers are afraid that they will cry loudly to show that they are incompetent to have this calamity, and ask their ancestors for their guilt. But looking at Han Rong's happy appearance, the rumors that he only knew that he had a mother but didn't know that he had a child were true, and he was afraid that the relationship with the emperor was extremely poor.

He took a sip of wine, and then said, "Guanhou, do you know what Master Yang Du is doing?" ”

"I don't know what I do."

"He came to show me an excerpt, and the content of this excerpt is to ask Lafayette to discipline the government three times and regain authority. This excerpt is too much to do, and he can't afford to take responsibility, so he came to ask me about my plan. I gave him a reply of one sentence, first and then again. In just the past few months, the world has been corrupted, Lafayette doesn't care, but how can he get it. ”

"The marshal is wise, and he also thinks that Lafayette is not enough to save the situation, nor is it enough to sanction those reformers and rebels."

"What a reform party, this word is good, come, give me another full cup!" Han Rong drank the rest of the wine into it, and put the wine glass down, "Guanhou, you tell me the truth, can you control the artillery camp now?" ”

"Back to the words of the marshal, I dare not say that I have mastered the artillery battalion, it is the army of the imperial court, not a private soldier of the humble position, where can I say that I have mastered it. However, I can assure you that the sons and daughters of the artillery battalion are loyal and act according to the will of the court. As long as there is a military order from the commander, they will fight whoever they want. ”

"That's what I want." Han Rong nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Guanhou's shoulder, "Ben Shuai has long seen that you are a talent, and there is really nothing wrong with it." Do a good job, have Ben Shuai to help you, and ensure that you do a good job. Yuan Weiting played with me, obviously sending Zhu Yu, but in fact, it was Meng De who offered a knife, and he took me as Dong Zhuo. It's a pity, I don't eat him, and today he moved a little, so I took him down. At that time, he was handsome, if you were asked to cut someone, your knife would also fall? Didn't you call him brother-in-law? ”

Zhao Guanhou knew that this was Han Rong's deliberate test, and hurriedly replied: "Dashuai, although the humble position and Yuan Weiting are called Uncle Lang, but that is just a lie, Mrs. Shen and I are only sisters and brothers, not blood-related. What's more, since you serve the country in the army, you can't think of a small family, and your closest relatives can't resist the emperor's grace and national law, let alone a brother-in-law who recognizes? If you don't count, as long as the commander asks me to kill, I will kill him! ”

"Well said! What the court wants is people like you, if everyone is as loyal as you, our Dajin will not be what it is today. Do a good job, Yuan Weiting's seat, sooner or later it will be yours. You go to Beijing with me this time, do a good job, I will ensure that you have a solid future in the second grade, go to the right army as a commander, and in two years, I will promote you to be the commander of the wing, and the entire right army will be yours in the future. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head again and again, "I can't help it, I can't help it." The lower officials are still young, and their prestige is not enough, and if they do the division, the people below will not be convinced, for fear that they have mistaken the handsome man's business. ”

"Not convinced? Who dares! You have military law in your hands, and whoever disobeys it when the time comes, you will be pulled out and cut down! In matters of business, I don't think anyone dares to be the slightest ambiguous. With Ben Shuai supporting you, you just have to let it go, and don't care about anything else. He encouraged Zhao Guanhou and said:

"Guanhou, this time I want you to go to Beijing with Ben Shuai, and there are very important errands for you to do, you have to do a good job, don't live up to Ben Shuai's expectations of you. Banzai's reform and reform is very much in line with the minds of foreigners, and even with it, on the side of the general office affairs yamen, there is also a Zhang Yinheng and Banzai who have a nose out of anger. The people below, not to mention, the reformers were in the majority. In fact, Ben Shuai also knows that it is right to change the law, and it is not possible to change the law, but it is even more impossible to do it like them. They are digging up the foundation of Dajin and destroying the country of Dajin. ”

He sighed, as if he had nowhere to complain when he was full of grievances, "When you arrive in the capital, you will know that I have used electric lights in my house early, can you say that I am old-fashioned?" But I've also been an official for so long, and I've seen a lot of things, and I can tell the difference between what is good and what is bad. With their method, the whole country will be ruined by them, how dare I support it? And how can it be supported? But in any case, the affairs of the Dajin Kingdom now, foreigners always like to talk more and ask more, and if they are not careful, they are afraid that it will cause diplomatic disputes. This time, if you enter Beijing, there is one errand, to do foreign affairs. ”

Like the last time he greeted Prince Henry, Han Rong mostly distrusted Minister Zhang Jing, who handled foreign affairs in the affairs yamen. I always feel that these people are towards the emperor in their hearts, and when it comes to major events, they will definitely speak for the emperor. This time, he deployed his troops, and his trip was already the same as the mutiny. If the emperor comes to power again, his head will not be saved. Naturally, he wanted to push forward the matter of abolishing the Son of Heaven, abolish the Son of Heaven, and set up another Ming Jun.

This kind of thing will certainly attract the attention and interference of international forces, and if we are not careful, we will make trouble by raising troops to ask for guilt. Zhao Guanhou had no problem negotiating with foreigners, and Han Rong naturally wanted to order his generals. If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass, Han Rong understood the truth here, and promised Zhao Guanhou

"As long as you get things done this time, Ben Shuai will protect you in the future, although you are a military general, it doesn't matter. Take a sum of money and donate a candidate to the Alternate Dao Alternate House, and you can turn it into a literary title. In the future, it will be transferred to the waiting list to find vacancies, and there will still be a good future. If others don't say it, isn't Yuan Weiting just an alternate Dao Fa Ji? If you have made great achievements, are you afraid that you are not as good as Yuan Xiangcheng? ”

The immortal deeds that he can say, thinking about it, there is only one thing left to stand up. Zhao Guanhou knew that this kind of thing was a big matter, and he couldn't make a clear statement, not to mention that if Dajin really abolished the monarch, he couldn't guess the reaction of the foreigners, so it was better not to over-promise. just smiled and said, "I should do my best, and I will die." ”

Han Rong knew that he had concerns, so he didn't say much, just gossiped, and asked about the situation in the eight major alleys in the capital, talking freely, obviously treating Zhao Guanhou as his own. When I arrived at Nanmabao Station, it was already midnight, and I saw a lot of soldiers standing on the platform, Zhao Guanhou frowned, and stepped forward, "Wait a minute, go down and take a look." ”

Seeing him behave like this, Han Rong was overjoyed in his heart, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't panic, it's all your own people, this is your acquaintance." ”

got out of the car, by the light of the lantern, Zhao Guanhou recognized that it was indeed his acquaintance, and when he received Prince Henry, he was very tormented by his own infantry commander Chongli. Just because of the last reception, he has now been promoted, and he has already made up the book of the Criminal Department, and he has also mentioned nine doors.

Chongli was also stunned when he saw Zhao Guanhou, Han Rong said: "My own person, bring the errand, this person is very powerful, I believe it." ”

"Then I didn't say it, Qingdi is waiting for us, please get in the car." Outside the station, a blue tweed carriage was parked, Han Rong and Chongli entered the car, and Zhao Guanhou could only straddle, pressing the handle of the knife with one hand and the pistol with the other, and rushed towards the city.

The commander of the infantry army, the Yamen, is regarded as the head snake in the capital, with the official lights of the Yamen in front, the soldiers patrolling the streets avoided it early, but when they arrived at the Qingwang Mansion, it was already early in the morning. In the study, King Qing was napping with one hand on his cheek, and when he saw a few people coming, he cheered up and sat up to greet him. When he saw Zhao Guanhou, he was also stunned, but his expression immediately warmed up.

"Crown? You're just in time, if you don't come, I'll send a telegram to Rong An, and I'll call you. Good guy, your contribution this time is not small, enough bandits from No. 10 Lake Guangguang have entered Beijing, and I heard that there are some people who are very good at kung fu. If you hadn't informed the news in advance, it would have really made them make a fuss, and in case you were shocked, my sin would have been a big one. This time, I want to thank you. In terms of meritorious deeds, you are waiting for good faith this time. ”

"Lord Wang, you praise, this is the duty of the lowly duty. Those words are just some rumors in the streets and alleys, and they may not be able to do accurately, mainly because of Lafayette's blessings. ”

Han Rong also said: "Under the original subordinates, he has to be regarded as the No. 1 cadre. There is a Zhao Yun under this Yuan Shao, who is his creation, but unfortunately he can't use it. With such a person by his side, I could control it at the beginning, and I was not afraid that he would have two hearts. This time, he can resolve such a big matter properly, and he has to be considered a great achievement. Later, I negotiated with the foreigners, but I still couldn't leave him. ”

Zhao Guanhou knew that the next few parties would have to talk about some things secretly, and his rank was afraid that he was not qualified to attend, so he took the initiative to say: "I have to take a leave of absence from a few adults first, it is really a sleepy evil, and it will not be good to be rude in front of me later." I've been windy outside, and I've been standing on duty for a few adults, blowing the wind, and taking a cool nap. ”

King Qing smiled, "There is no need to stand on duty, there are people in the house, but the young people are full of blood and blood, and they don't sleep for one night and don't wake up for three nights." If you stay up late now, you'll be able to stay up later. Come on, take him to the guest room to rest. ”

The two subordinates led Zhao Guanhou to the guest room, where the bedding and pillows were new, and the bed was very comfortable.

And in the capital on this night, he was lucky, at least he could touch the middle of the night to sleep peacefully. Many people are destined to have no chance of sleep tonight. The lights in King Qing's study were lit until the early hours of the morning, and the sign was blown out when he entered the palace. And the same scene appeared in Fengxiang Hutong, Zujia Street and other noble homes, visitors who were unwilling to reveal their identities came and went, and the oil lamp in the study was always bright.

In the Yixing Wood Factory, as well as a few dart shops and cart shops, those strangers with mysterious origins quietly took out their packages, drew out their weapons, and sharpened them on the whetstone. (To be continued.) )
