After meeting with the vassal kings of Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet, the construction of the two railways also began in an orderly manner, and Guan Xuqing did not abandon the southern tour that had been decided because of the assassination

Although most people in the imperial court were opposed to Guan Xuqing's southern tour at this time, because Guan Xuqing's own insistence was not greatly resisted, on the eighth day of September in 1893, Guangxu 19, Guan Xuqing began his first southern tour during his reign

The officials who followed the Hu were Deng Shichang, Feng Xianghua, Liang Qi and other important ministers, and Empress Jingfen was also notified that Kang Youwei and Peng Yulin were left in the capital to supervise the country after the previous assassination, Guan Xuqing was also extra protective of the eldest brother who had just turned 2 years old, and Zhao Bingjun, the "Great Qing Demon Fox", specially selected two elites from a group of trained spies to pretend to be eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, lurking around the eldest brother, and this matter was only known to Zhao Bingjun and Guan Xuqing, In addition, Wang Feng dispatched more than 20 special forces to protect the inseparable elder brother, and the Praetorian Guards in Qidong did not dare to slack off at all, and the guards of the palace were stricter than before

Although Guan Xuqing Qiankun arbitrarily insisted on patrolling the south at this time, the so-called policy and countermeasures Guan Xuqing's holy decree clearly pointed out that only one guard regiment from the Northeast Group Army was needed to cooperate with Guan Xuqing's own Imperial Forest Army to escort it, but Dong Liang transferred a guard regiment of 30,000 people

"What is this Dong Liang doing? Didn't I say that I only needed one guard regiment, how did he transfer the entire First Division? Guan Xuqing looked at the guard regiment that had just entered Beijing and scolded

"Your Majesty, General Dong said that at this time, the Northeast Group Army formed a reinforced regiment, and only one regiment is indeed a guard regiment," Feng Xianghua muttered

"Hehe, let the head of their guard regiment come to see me," Guan Xuqing said with a smile

"Chirp"

After a while, a thin white-faced scholar appeared in front of Guan Xuqing, this person was Luo Ming, a member of the first phase of the Black Army who later frightened Britain, France and other countries

"What's your name?" Guan Xuqing looked at this regiment commander so familiarly that he couldn't remember it for a while

"Minister, Luo Ming see the emperor," Luo Ming said and knelt on the ground

Guan Xuqing thought for a moment and said: "Luo Ming, the first batch of graduates of Heilongjiang Military Academy, won the title of the best officer when he graduated, and after graduation, he was assigned to serve as a battalion commander in the Nie Shicheng Department, because of his repeated military merits, he was promoted to the standard commander Guangxu 10 years in Mongolia to lead the standard men and horses to break the Russian army, and after the reform of the military system, he won the major general division commander by virtue of his excellent military technology and excellent on-the-spot command, and the troops led by him beat the veteran Feng Zicai to win the title of the first division of the Qing Dynasty, and Guangxu led the troops to enter the DPRK in 16 years. What mistake did you make in rescuing the 29th Brigade of the 87th Division that was besieged? How did you become the head of a guard regiment now? ”

Luo Ming was stunned on the spot by Guan Xuqing's words, he couldn't believe that a young son of heaven, the emperor who was in a good position was so familiar with his resume, although he had been listening to his boss Dong Liang talk about how the current son of heaven was, and saw that the Daqing Daily was comparing the current emperor with the Holy Ancestor, although he had never seen the emperor, but he didn't really believe it in his heart

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a martial artist, how dare you let the emperor bother to remember the old things of the minister" Luo Ming knelt on the ground and cried

"Hahaha, how did a general who terrified his opponent on the battlefield cry in front of me?" Guan Xuqing laughed out loud

Luo Ming stopped crying and said, "General Dong is worried about the emperor's safety during his southern tour, so he specially sent his ministers to lead the first division and the guard regiment of the military headquarters, a total of more than 30,000 people, to escort him."

Guan Xuqing stopped smiling and said solemnly: "Dong Liang is so bold, he actually dares to resist the decree? ”

"The emperor also asks for anger, although the chaotic party has been arrested, but the minions of the chaotic party are still there, the emperor personally patrols the south and is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, escorted by Weichen, who dares to ensure the safety of the emperor, even if he comes to three or four divisions, the ministers can still come and go freely" Luo Ming said firmly

"I appreciate your courage, but this is a private visit to Weifu, it is really inconvenient to bring too many troops with me, and besides, I haven't arrived yet, your troops have already arrived, isn't it to send a letter to officials from all over the country, isn't the holy car coming here?" Guan Xuqing said flatly

"This ...... The ministers only protect the emperor Zhou Quan, and the other ministers haven't had time to think about it yet," Luo Ming explained embarrassedly

Guan Xuqing helped Luo Min up and said, "In this way, our relationship with Russia is still very tense, you let your first division go back immediately, and you will follow me with the guard regiment."

"This ...... Chen's troops can't explain to General Dong when they go back," Luo Ming said embarrassedly

Guan Xuqing's face was blank, and he said sternly: "You only listen to the orders of the army, don't you know the holy words?" ”

"Don't dare" Luo Ming, who had just stood up, fell to his knees again with a plop

"Still not satisfied?" Feng Xianghua said on the side

"The minister took the order," Luo Ming replied helplessly

Guan Xuqing nodded with satisfaction, and then helped Luo Ming up and said, "With you as a tiger general by my side, what do I have to worry about?"

Under the farewell of hundreds of officials, Guan Xuqing and his entourage left the Forbidden City in a grand manner......

"Your Majesty, where are we going first?" Queen Jingfen in the carriage asked

Guan Xuqing closed his eyes and said leisurely, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Jingfen leaned next to Guan Xuqing and said happily: "The concubine has never been out, and I don't know where to have fun, the concubine listened to those palace maids in the south of the Yangtze River say that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the concubine wants to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Guan Xuqing opened his eyes slightly and said, "Hehe, that's a must-go, but before I go, I have to go to Zhengzhou to do something."

"Concubine obeys" Jingfen snuggled in Guan Xuqing's arms like a little sheep, and her happiness seemed to be about to melt

After the holy car arrived in Tianjin, Guan Xuqing ordered everyone to change to civilian clothes, no longer the emperor's car went out on patrol, but a private visit to Weifu

Everyone thought that when the saint drove to Tianjin, he would take the train directly to the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect Guan Xuqing and his party to go straight to Zhengzhou

Along the way, Guan Xuqing felt more relaxed than he had ever been, although there were still a large number of telegrams waiting for his approval every day, but the feeling was completely different from that in the Forbidden City

When the frame was about to enter the boundary of Henan, it suddenly stopped

"What time is this? Why did it stop? Guan Xuqing knocked on the window in the carriage and asked impatiently

Wang Shang hurriedly opened the car window from the outside, and replied softly: "Back to the emperor, it seems that something happened in front, General Luo took someone to the front, let us rest in place"

"Wang Shang, how many times have I said it, don't call me the emperor when you go out, call me the young master," Guan Xuqing advised

"Oh, young master," Wang Shang said cleverly
