Chapter 714: The Last Entrustment
Zhao Guanhou didn't have the idea of letting Diane serve as a demolition infantryman, but this honest man often made it easier to get into the horns of the bull when he recognized it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even Zhao Guanhou couldn't convince Anne who fell into this state. The compromise plan had to bring her into the Yanyi Tower. The second son, Yuan Hanyun, was originally a disciple at the door, but he was also stunned when he saw Annie, but fortunately, he was very smart, and immediately called out, "Hello, little master." ”
"A master is a master, and it is not small or small. You ask your wife to receive your wife, and let's go to the second floor to talk. ”
On the second floor, a woman in palace clothes was in the study, and she didn't ask to know that she was the eldest lady Shen Jinying. I haven't seen her for a few months, this once bright ** woman has become haggard, her skin is a little dry, even if she wears a lot of makeup, it is difficult to hide her exhaustion and hard work, and her eyes are bloodshot. With a wave of his hand, Yuan Hanyun retreated, leaving the room for the two of them.
Looking at each other and speechless to each other, Shen Jinying's resentment is naturally there, but he can only nest in his heart and can't express it. After all, Zhao Guanhou's attitude, she had known it for a long time, it was she who knelt down and asked Zhao Guanhou not to openly oppose the imperial system, nor to make similar requests to Zhu Erdian. The other party has already done it, how can he ask him to really send troops to help the emperor he does not support to fight.
At present, the situation in the provinces is chaotic, Feng Yuzhang's telegram was sent to the capital by the hand of Mrs. Zhou, and Shen Jinying also knew that this Beiyang veteran general was connecting the provincial overseers and setting up another mountain. Even Feng Yuzhang, the humerus of Beiyang, has different aspirations, and it is rare for Zhao Guanhou to remain loyal. If you point fingers at him again and force Shandong to rebel, it will not only be the country that will be ruined, but the lives of his mother and son.
She didn't speak, she just looked at Zhao Guanhou opposite in a daze, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Zhao Guanhou took out a handkerchief from his body, stepped forward in two steps, wiped his tears for her, and suddenly said, "Sister, you have white hair." ”
"Yes, the singer said that Wu Zixu was white-headed overnight, but I didn't believe it. But when it happened to me, I realized that it was true. When a man's heart dies, he grows old quickly, and it is not uncommon to grow gray hair. Maybe it won't be long before my sister becomes an old beggar, so don't scare you when the time comes. ”
Zhao Guanhou sat down next to her and said with a smile: "What did my sister say?" You're still young, why did you want to go so far away? Isn't it just one or two gray hairs, not a problem, and the slightest damage is as beautiful as a flower. I know you're worried, but if you want me to say, it's your own trouble. If you feel at ease to be your eldest wife, eat, drink and have fun, and have nothing to worry about, how can you have gray hair? Otherwise, resign and go into the wilderness and return to the longevity garden to live a good life, how comfortable you say it must be. ”
"I said that it was his ideal, even if he didn't say it in his mouth, he thought it in his heart. When it comes to his status, fame and fortune, his influence is limited, and what he seeks is to be a thousand years old, and he will rule the country with iron. Further up, it is a famous history, and it will be remembered through the ages. The human heart, in fact, is like this. When I was in the rivers and lakes, I just wanted to reunite with Rong An, even if I ate bran vegetables, I was willing. Later, I really reunited, and all I wanted was to be able to fight against his original partner. Later, I thought that I could get a decree until the end...... but they harmed him. ”
Shen Jinying suddenly grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand, and her eyes became extremely hot, "Brother, you have soldiers and money in your hands." Although Emperor Sun returned to China and Cai Feng fought very well in the southwest, my sister knew that even if they joined forces, they would not be your opponents. As long as you are willing to protect your brother-in-law, everything can be turned around. As long as you swear to go out now, the provincial overseers will definitely follow your orders. You are the great credit of Kuang Fu Sheji. When the country is calm, this country will be yours. ”
She was ruthless, and she actually used the ninety-five position as a reward. "I know very well that person Shigege, she has a big heart, and she has always wanted to restore and become an imperial concubine or even a queen by herself. Your brother-in-law's body is ...... It's no longer possible. I won't hide it from you, he can't even solve it now, the foreign doctor said that he was going to have surgery, but Hanyun was afraid that the operation would fail, so he cut it in that place, if there was a three long and two short, he would be ashamed after death. I had to use traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao, Kong, Wang, and Shi were all invited, but it didn't work very well. Perhaps, even overnight, there will be no more people. As long as you are willing to stand up for your brother-in-law today, I will ask him to write an edict, and pass it on to you after death, and you will sit on this emperor. ”
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Sister, you have been smart all your life, and you are confused." This country is no longer suitable for an emperor. It's not a question of who sits down, it's a question of who sits and who can't sit still. The position of the president is equivalent to giving everyone a chance, and having an emperor is equivalent to destroying this passage, who will be satisfied? The years of the emperor have passed, and we are destined not to come back, we have to learn to accept reality. At present, the attitude of the foreigners is very clear, if the war is not ended, they will not lend, this situation, just like the Ge Ming army back then, is not a military issue, but a matter of integrity. The brother-in-law is Long Yu, Feng Yuzhang, but he wants to be the role of his brother-in-law. He held a meeting in Jiangning to confirm his status as the leader of the alliance and replace his brother-in-law. ”
Shen Jinying let go of her hand weakly, and the light in her eyes dissipated again. muttered to himself:
"Retribution, everything is retribution. What we did to others in the beginning, they treat us today. All of this is cause and effect...... Brothers...... Do you also want to go to that meeting, and you want to lead troops to beat your brother-in-law...... You can just kill me right here, and save so much effort. ”
She burst into tears, and Zhao Guanhou had no choice but to coax again
"Good sister, that's not what I said. In fact, even if you want to be a mother, it's not impossible to be a mother behind closed doors, and let me kowtow to you. If I have to make such a big fanfare, the people's hearts are boiling, even if I have the means to go to heaven, I can't reverse it. Don't cry yet, I'm not done yet. Although Feng Huafu thinks so, it doesn't mean that I also want to treat my brother-in-law like this. Everything, there is always a discussion, there are so many officers with troops in Beiyang, not all of them are heartless. At least my attitude is here, whoever wants to kill you and my brother-in-law, I will never agree. ”
After a long while, Shen Jinying suppressed his grief and pulled Zhao Guanhou's sleeve tightly
"If you still recognize me as a sister, take care of Hanyun for me, and if he recognizes you as a master, you will treat him as an apprentice. As long as you keep him from worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life, I can look at him even under the nine springs. If you have anything you want, take it yourself. ”
"Sister, what do you call this? Hanyun's business is my business, there is nothing to say, whoever dares to touch a hair of him, I want his life! Sister, you are the same. I can have today, thanks to the promotion of my sister and brother-in-law, I will definitely have the reward I deserve. I have a charter for the current thing, and you listen to me. ”
Zhao Guanhou stared at Shen Jinying's eyes and said word by word: "First of all, the throne cannot be kept, and Hong Xian must be canceled and changed back to the republic." Secondly, considering the current physical condition of the brother-in-law, the position of the president can also be given up and changed back to the longevity garden to recuperate. Thirdly, the private property of the brother-in-law enjoys the treatment of the property of the Dajin clan, which is protected by law and is not allowed to be embezzled by anyone in any name. In the end, the entire judicial problems before and after the Hongxian Empire must not be investigated, and the past is all in the past, and everyone treats it as if it never happened. After my brother-in-law recovers, he still has the right to run for election, and Congress will decide whether he can take over as president. If they don't agree to these demands, I'll give them a good look, with my 100,000 soldiers here, I'm not afraid that these people won't bow their heads! ”
Shen Jinying listened to Zhao Guanhou's words, and knew that what the other party said was heartfelt. Yuan Weiting single-handedly promoted many generals, but after Hong Xian, most of them fell apart, and the current available ones are none other than Tang Tianxi, plus Tang Zhuxin, the overseer of Hunan. Although these two people are also loyal ministers of the Yuan family, they are far away and difficult to support alone. Moreover, there is Mrs. Zhou, who is a woman, although her heart is loyal, her strength is lacking, and the only one who can really use it is Zhao Guanhou alone.
Even Feng Yuzhang wanted to replace Yuan, and with Zhao Guanhou's popularity, if he publicly announced his opposition to Yuan, a large number of people would be willing to follow. The success rate of usurping the country is far above the Feng family, and he can't afford to play any tricks. These words must be sincere, not perfunctory.
On her face, a wry smile finally appeared, "Sister has known countless people for half her life, and she finally didn't misunderstand you." From the time we met until now, my sister has always believed that you are a person who values affection, and she is not mistaken. Today, if you are willing to give us such generous conditions, I am afraid that you are the only one. It's a pity that my sister is going to live up to your kindness. Your brother-in-law is a hero for half a lifetime, and he will not admit defeat. If he agrees to your conditions, doesn't it mean that he is the emperor and it is a mistake to the end? There is not much left of his yang life, so why let him bear the stigma of admitting defeat for fear of death? The general only dies before the battle, not after the battle, even if he wants to die, he will die on the battlefield. Surrendering without a fight was not something that Emperor Napoleon could do. ”
Zhao Guanhou said: "If that's the case...... It's okay, I'll try my best, in short, my sister can rest assured, with my surname Zhao, Shandong will not be opposed, and Liangjiang will not be opposed. The Beiyang generals may not stand up to conquer Sichuan. But it can be guaranteed that the Southwest Army will not be allowed to enter Zhili for half a step! As for Hua Fu, he wants to be the leader of the Beiyang Alliance, and he is not worthy of it! I will let him know who is the real master of Beiyang. When my brother-in-law was called emperor, the provinces reported the service, and Shandong did not pay a penny. It's not that I'm stingy, brother, I just don't want to take money to reclaim the sea eye. I am in Zhengyuan, for my sister, brother-in-law and Hanyun, I set up a fold of two million yuan, only taking interest and not moving the capital, which is enough for you to live for a lifetime. Moreover, I am here, and I will not make you poor. ”
Shen Jinying said: "As long as Hanyun has a good life, I ...... You don't have to worry about it, there's a way to do it. There is another thing, he and his concubine Xiao Taohong, recently had a famine, and the woman was clamoring for a divorce. But your brother-in-law's body is like this, if there is a divorce again, won't it kill him? What should the Yuan family do about their face? ”
"This little peach...... I seem to have heard of her, and it seems that she is good friends with Xiao Afeng. This matter is on me, and I will find a way to do her job and make sure that she does not get a divorce. As for whether you can get along well with Hanyun, I can't say, it's good to always support this for a while. ”
Shen Jinying said: "I knew that you would not come in vain when you entered Beijing, and sure enough, my sister had a heart." It's a pity that my sister doesn't have anything to repay you, and I have nothing left except Hanyun and Rong'an. ”
"Our friendship is far away when we say this. No matter how the world changes, Shandong can always give you a pure land. I promise, no one dares to hurt a single hair of you, and whoever dares to be unreasonable to my sister, I will be the first to spare him! ”
Shen Jinying called Yuan Hanyun and asked him to kowtow to the master for the second time, and Zhao Guanhou asked a few more words about Xiao Taohong, but Yuan Hanyun was indispensable. His temperament is like this, he doesn't have many things, he really can't remember it, he is good to Xiao Taohong, but if you want to say that you are worried, you can't talk about it. Maybe those Wei tablets, calligraphy, and Song editions are really his heart.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage with Anne that Anne let out of the Goose Wing Tower, "I'm scared to death." I'm really afraid of some ambush in the palace, I'm not afraid of death, but you can't die. If you die, Sister Leng He must be very sad. ”
"Only Leng He is sad, you are not sad?"
"I'm sure I'm not sad. Because if you die, then I must also die, our souls are together, and I have nothing to be sad about. Anne took it for granted, "Although you didn't let me keep the bullet, but I brought a paper bag with me, which was full of gold dust, and if there was an ambush, I would swallow the gold, and I would be your first bride when I went to the hungry heavens, and it was too late to be happy." ”
When the two of them arrived at the Six Nations Hotel, there was also a visitor waiting in the room, but it was the chief staff of the State Affairs General of the Hongxian Dynasty, known as the small fan of the shadow of Zhiquan, Xu Youzheng.
This person is very famous in Beijing, rich in poetry and wine, and is actually very popular among women, and he is almost comparable to the little Uncle Na Zhen in the pre-Jin Dynasty. But for Anne, she was a stranger, or rather, she couldn't see any other men in her eyes. Just politely bow and go to prepare coffee. Xu Youzheng first complimented Zhao Guanhou a few words, and the latter was only casually perfunctory, so Xu Youzheng cut to the chase
"Guanshuai, are you coming back from the Wild Goose Wing Tower? The eldest lady must have something to rely on. But I think, Guanshuai, you are an understanding person, you should know that in today's situation, the people's will is back, and the Hongxian Empire is already terminally ill, even if it is Hua Tuo Bian Que, he can't save this patient. If it is not broken, it will not stand, and only by going to the old can we welcome the new. What does the crown shuai think? ”
"Xiao Xu, what you said is right, and it's not all right. The patient is not saved, and I support this. But the old man is terminally ill, and his children are helpless, so they can only serve diligently, and they can't everyone laugh and plan to divide the property, isn't that a beast? Zheng is a reader, the truth, you should know better than me, isn't that what it means? ”
Although Xu Youzheng is only a staff member, he is actually no different from the cabinet president, and he has always been extremely proud, and his actual age is older than Zhao Guanhou. But I don't want Zhao Guanhou to take a bite and a Zheng or Xiao Xu, and treat himself as a junior. But partially, he relied on his relationship with Shen Jinying to occupy the identity of a junior, and Xu Youzheng had no choice but to listen with anger.
At this time, he said with a smile: "What Guanshuai said...... Makes sense. But Zheng thinks that since my generation is a communist soldier, he should take the common interests as the first, and his personal feelings must always give way to the interests of the country. The current situation is very unfavorable to Beiyang. Yuan Gong became the emperor since the president, and most of the generals in Beiyang were against it, but the outside world didn't know it, and they thought that we were all imperial factions and didn't trust us very much. Even if the republic is restored, I don't think Yuan Gong is fit to be our leader anymore. Beiyang needs a new leader. Now that Emperor Sun and his gang in the south are pressing very tightly, if we lose our own internal unity, the country that we have built up with great difficulty will be usurped by the Xingzhong Society. This is in the interests of our entire group, and we cannot ignore this. ”
"Zheng is worthy of being a rising star, he has a set of words, Anne, you see, the future is terrifying. Tell me about it, what should we do as a group to protect our own interests? ”
Xu Youzheng pondered for a moment, and then said word by word: "We need a new leader." A strong man who can adapt to the times and lead the group against forces such as the Xingzhong Society. We need a new great president, a leader who is embraced by all the Beiyangs! ”
