Chapter 287: Chaos
After Wang Bin saw such news, he couldn't help but think of some rumors in later generations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, among some of the contents that Wang Bin had learned on the Internet before, it was said that in the lonely Hanyuan Hall of Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, after ten years of bleak confinement, Emperor Guangxu had completed his sad and full of grievances.
And on the afternoon of the next day after the death of Emperor Guangxu, the 74-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi also died in the Yiluan Hall in Zhongnanhai.
The sudden death of Guangxu, who was in the prime of life, and the proximity to Cixi's death, brought all kinds of questions to the society at that time and later generations.
At that time, the military aircraft Zhang Jing Xu Baoxing's "Chao Yunquan Diary" said: "At 6 o'clock on October 18, I was on duty. The emperor could not sit and did not summon military planes, and the Japanese marquis Naodai Nabeshima and others also withdrew. ”
Looking at it this way, for a period of time before his death, Guangxu had always been able to get out of bed and move, and even arranged to summon the Japanese marquis three days before his death, but he did not reach the level of being terminally ill.
Until the 18th, Guangxu's condition suddenly worsened. On the evening of the 18th, three imperial doctors were urgently summoned to the palace to ask for pulse, and the imperial doctor Du Zhongjun diagnosed Guangxu's pulse for the last time.
However, the natives found that Guangxu was dying, and the prescribed medicine had not been taken, so he died in the unitary time.
It was not until a hundred years later that many experts, with the assistance of modern science and technology, tested the remains of Emperor Guangxu, and the cause of Guangxu's death, which has been a mystery for a hundred years, was confirmed.
The final result is undoubted, the Guangxu Emperor died of arsenic poisoning.
Therefore, in this life, Wang Bin only heard that Cixi was going west not long ago, and then heard the news of Guangxu's death, so he had to make Wang Bin wonder if it was Cixi's backhand arranged before his death.
But all this has nothing to do with Wang Bin, he has gossip who is not a good thing, how did the two dead people die, why did they die, and what did they care about so much.
It's better to think about what you should do next.
"Gu Chen, this worry of yours is gone for the time being, and Emperor Guangxu has also died after the Queen Mother."
As soon as Wang Bin's words came out, Duan Qirui and the others began to talk about it, and this news was full of a conspiracy, as if it was deliberately arranged by Cixi before she died.
Don't let Guangxu have a chance to ********, for fear that after her death, Guangxu will come out to challenge the authority she left behind.
"My lord, the current situation is so favorable to us, why don't we send troops directly to Beijing."
After knowing that Guangxu and Cixi had passed away, Duan Qirui was the first person who couldn't help but talk.
For Duan Qirui, Jingshi was simply a sad place for him, and it was precisely because of the various behaviors of the imperial court towards him that he was finally cornered and had to go out.
Now that there is such a great opportunity for revenge, how can it be missed in vain.
After listening to Duan Qirui's words, Wang Bin did not bring up the matter of soldiers, but said unhurriedly: "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, the current imperial court is only afraid that it has fallen into chaos, and if we send troops to the customs at this moment, I am afraid that some people will think that we are taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”
As soon as Wang Bin's words fell, Gu Chen below immediately asked, "My lord, what do you mean?" ”
"The meaning of this official is very simple, now that the court is chaotic, our dispatch of troops will leave a bad image on people, and secondly, we have no reason to send troops to the customs, so now we only need to prepare to send troops, but we will not enter the customs, and when the time comes, this official will naturally let you lead troops into the customs."
Wang Bin's words were very mysterious, and he didn't point out what the so-called timing was, just let his subordinates wait slowly.
"My lord, what should the staff and others do now?"
Wang Bin's words seemed a little incomprehensible to these officers, what does it mean to wait for the opportunity? However, I still understood that the adults would send troops to the customs, and Sun Chuanfang immediately asked what preparations should be made for entering the customs.
"Well, the officials of the third, fourth, and fifth towns of the newly built Fengtian Standing Army are ready to be placed in the three eastern provinces to prevent entry into the customs, if anyone wants to attack the idea of our three eastern provinces, the remaining four towns will station the military strength of two towns to Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan respectively from tomorrow.
This officer hopes that during this time of stationing, you will do a good job in the training of the army, so that nothing will happen, and when the order of this officer comes down, you will go to Beijing at any time through the Jingfeng Railway. ”
After Wang Bin's order was followed, Duan Qirui and the others all said that they would start mobilizing the army after returning tonight, and strive to reach the garrison in the shortest possible time.
And after Wang Bin got the answer from Duan Qirui and the others, he didn't say anything more, just asked them to strengthen the training of soldiers after arriving at the station.
Then Duan Qirui and others left Wang Bin's mansion in twos and threes, and after this series of turmoil, Wang Bin finally had the strength to return to the dining table to eat with the family.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Wu took a sip of wine and said, "Done?" ”
After listening to his father's words, Wang Bin naturally nodded and then followed his father's words and said: "Old man, there will be some chaos in this pass, you had better arrange some things in advance, and the shops under your hands are better to collect all the funds in the customs these days to prevent some accidents." ”
As soon as Wang Bin's words were finished, Zhou Zuoxi and Wang Wu both realized that it might be related to Wang Bin's hurried departure just now, and suddenly both of them asked with some concern what was going on.
Faced with the questions of his father and father-in-law, Wang Bin did not answer directly, but said quite mysteriously: "You two will know tomorrow why this is." ”
After saying this, Wang Bin refused to reveal anything else, and Wang Wu and Zhou Zuoxi immediately sent someone to start their own arrangement with the situation of telegram.
On the side, Zhou Wanlin was also a little worried and asked, "Husband, could it be that something happened?" ”
Zhou Wanjing on the side was just a little curious, curious about how many officers could rush over because of a piece of paper on this big night.
"Haha, don't worry, this thing is not a good thing for others, but it represents an opportunity for your husband and me."
Wang Bin didn't say it, and no one asked anymore Anyway, listening to Wang Bin's tone, he will be able to know the next day.
With the slow rise of the early sun the next day, a shocking news spread throughout China through newspapers, just one night of hard work first Lafayette went west, and then Emperor Guangxu also died immediately after, the Chinese people were shocked. (To be continued.) )
