Chapter 323: Imperial Conscience

Oleg was in his mind, analyzing the battlefield situation, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Is this information credible?" ”

"It should be believable that he's ...... After me, when he bragged, he talked about this, even he didn't know, revealing such an important thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info just told me not to go outside the gate recently, especially not to Lushun. The Fuso also aided his troops with 2,000 rifles, 50,000 rounds of ammunition, and sold him a batch of shells at a low price. ”

"In this way, it seems that the Fuso people are going to unite with the Jin Kingdom to do something to us. The mediation of the Yankees can no longer be counted on, our country must take precautions, and once the fleet is destroyed, the Arthur fortress will fall into the embarrassment of powerlessness, and the Empire's sea supply lines will be seriously threatened. Now this information must be reported to the commander so that the navy can take precautions. Mia, you've done a good job, and I'll take credit for you. You must also remember that it is your job to get more information for the Empire. So, charm him and get more out of him. If I'm not mistaken, he'll be in Kyori until after their Queen Mother's birthday, and you'll need more valuable information during that time, my Mia. ”

In Zhao's mansion, Zhao Guanhou, who came back from Xishan, first returned to his room and wrote a post, which was then handed over to Yang Cuiyu for sorting. After looking at it, Cuiyu said: "If these things are seen by Shigege, they will definitely be angry." These Tiele people are really wolf ambitions, and they not only want to annex our Guanwai, but also to swallow up both inside and outside, so that sooner or later they will swallow our entire country. But this information must be classified, how did you get it? ”

Feng Zhi said angrily: "He went out with that foreign woman for two days, and that woman told him everything, and she still had to ask, and she felt ashamed to think about it." ”

"She's trained, it's not that easy to say, but inadvertently, she'll reveal a half-claw, and based on what we know, we'll be able to figure it out. The so-called intelligence, in fact, is like this, I also know some intelligence officers who specialize in newspaper clippings. ”

In his previous life, he had been trained in this area, and due to the times, the training at that time was too far ahead compared to the agents of the current era. In the battle with him, Emia was completely defeated, and the information leaked far more than was obtained.

As for that cafΓ©, Zhao Guanhou is not ready to cut it off for the time being, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion. Anyway, the Fuso people won't sit back and watch themselves get too close to the Tiele people, and it won't be long before they can help them solve this problem.

At this time, Daikin had already begun to implement the new policy. Since the defeat of Gengzi, more and more ministers have realized that today's Daikin has reached a dangerous situation where it is difficult to survive without change. The aspect of change, from the New to the New Deal, involves various fields.

The Minister of Military Aircraft, Zhai Hongji, a university scholar, who was added to the cabinet, was also a leading figure in the faction of law change. He is very bold, bold and courageous. He is currently the leader of the Qingliu in the imperial court, but he is not as conservative as Xu Tong or Wu Ren, but is determined to innovate, and has always been able to talk about changing the law. Around him, he also gathered a group of young ministers, hoping to reform the old law, clear up the accumulated evils, and change the pattern of Daikin.

Zhai Hongji was born in Kejia on the right path, with the wings of the big gate and the small protΓ©gΓ©, and the power has been outside the capital, and the roots

It is deeply rooted and not easily broken. In addition, he is upright and upright, and he is not very afraid of people looking for trouble, so he is more open in his actions.

In the study, several of his disciples were reporting to him the news they had heard. "Teacher, Yuan Weiting has paid all the expenses for King Qing's service this time, and he extracts 200,000 public funds from the Beiyang public fund every year, which is all the expenses of the Qingwang Mansion, this matter is revealed by the confidants in the palace, and there will be no mistakes."

"Two hundred thousand? Beiyang is so magnanimous. I heard that Wei Guangshou went out of the cabinet for Han Zhonghua's daughter, and a gift of 200,000 yuan was also 200,000. I don't know, our Dajin is so rich? If we are so rich, why can we only borrow foreign debts when we pay compensation? Do you know how much is the apportionment of Guizhou Province to Guizhou Province this time, and the first batch of compensation paid by the two provinces? Two hundred thousand. The indemnity apportioned by a province is 200,000 yuan, and the silver taels of a governor and filial piety minister are also 200,000 yuan. ”

He was as evil as he was in his life, and he hated corrupt officials the most. Several students hurriedly persuaded, "The teacher is angry, Han Zhonghua is like a candle in the wind, time is short, if the teacher is to visit him at this time, I am afraid that Lafayette will not only not be gracious, but will be strange." ”

"Yes, Han Zhonghua is not going to be done, it is not kind to join him at this time. He also grasped this, so he let go of his hands and feet and acted recklessly, which was intended to make a lot of money before he died. The regulations of the imperial court are ultimately no match for human favor, and this world is broken. Do you know that Han Zhonghua recently gave Lafayette a twist? ”

He folded it up at this time, almost the same fold, and with his curtains, it was almost accurate, and the content would definitely not be small. Several students looked at the teacher with interest, wondering what was going on.

"The three eastern provinces abolished the generals, replaced them with governors, and set up another governor to control the three governors. And the first governor, he protected Xu Juren. A Hei Hanlin, who has never let go of the examiner, will also be guaranteed to be the governor, and you can tell me, what is the reason for this? ”

Several students knew that the teacher's current policy was to sort out the accumulated shortcomings in the country and rectify the rule of officials. After returning the atmosphere of domestic officialdom to normal, we should consider revitalizing ourselves and negotiating with outsiders. Before that, he deliberately avoided making enemies with foreigners.

In Zhai Hongji's eyes, Yuan Weiting invited the holy driver to Shandong, and his behavior was no different from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao. And since Yuan Weiting became the direct governor, he has greatly protected his subordinates, and the governors of the five northern provinces are basically Yuan Weiting's cronies and friends, or staff. A cadre of military generals' subordinates is also promoted with the protection, and they are all awarded high positions, as if they have a tail that cannot be dropped. Zhai Hongji has an attitude towards him that has to be removed.

The first step to get rid of him was to restrict his development and not allow the Beiyang warriors to continue to gain authority in the imperial court.

The three eastern provinces set up governors and abolished generals, obviously coming for Tiele, and if this discussion is completed, maybe there will be another war outside the border. The imperial court only has the military guard army available, once the war starts, the Beiyang military generals will inevitably be meritorious, and the new army will inevitably be reused, which will destroy the overall layout of the teacher.

Besides, in the eyes of Zhai Hongji, Xu Juren can only be regarded as a person who has advanced after Shilin and has never let go of the examiner, and he is not in the eyes of the law at all. Let him be the governor of the three eastern provinces, which is also inconsistent with his identity.

However, Han Rong was promoted at this time, and the old queen mother was most likely to be gracious, and once the decree was issued, there was nothing to change, so it was no wonder that Zhai Hongji was dissatisfied.

There are other well-behaved students, and they also know that there is actually another layer of anger in the teacher's heart, but it is inconvenient to declare it. As soon as Han Rong died, the position of the cardinal was vacant, and Zhai Hongji's preferred cardinal was Kungang, a scholar of Dongge University.

This person is also a member of the clan and a relative of Han Rong, and his identity is enough to be in charge. Although this person has no talents, he has integrity, refuses to be greedy and accept bribes, and has a weak temperament, has no decision, and has a very poor family. If this person is the minister in charge, then Zhai Hongji can completely influence his decision, without the name of the cardinal, but with the fact of the cardinal, the power will be in his own hands.

But now I got the news from the palace that Han Rong was the one who was promoted by King Qing Yikuang. This person is the benefactor of Yuan Weiting, who is a cardinal, Zhai Hongji's life is sad, and it is reasonable for the teacher to be angry.

"Silver, everything is silver, even the governors of the three provinces can be transported because of silver, and you say, is there salvation in this world? When Beiyang was first established, it was a plan to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but now, it has become a place of disaster for the country and the people. ”

"Teacher, I'm afraid it's not easy to touch them, right? Now Yuan Weiting's curtains are thick, and Zhao Guanhou's curtains are also very good, and the police investigation and art institute in Beijing is always rewarded. Now that Bai Jian is playing, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch him. ”

"If you want to move Yuan Weiting, you must first get rid of Zhao Guanhou, which is inevitable. A person who has never been to school actually has a vassal office, which is really a big joke in the world. What he is fighting now is nothing more than running a new army, but if I want to cheer up, I must not rely on soldiers alone. The most important thing is to implement new laws and implement new policies. This is a matter for the literati, the military general can't intervene, and he, who has never been in school, can't speak. What did you agree on about the official report? ”

Several students glanced at each other, "Teacher, the imperial court has held several official newspapers before, but it has always been unsuccessful." Because the official report involves public opinion, it is not detailed. If you trust a non-person, you may suffer calamity...... Wang Kangnian, there is also a suspicion of the Kang Party......"

Zhai Hongji waved his hand: "What are you afraid of?" The current court is no longer the court when the law was changed. Even the Restorationists can be pardoned, let alone be suspected. Just let it go, and I'll do everything. As soon as the newspaper is completed, the first thing is to publish the matter of their service to the silver two, and after forming public opinion, I want to see how the Queen Mother protects them. Whether it is Han Rong or Qingdi, they are all silverfish in this country. If you don't get rid of them, there will be no way for the world to cheer up. Perhaps, this process will be painful, but without this pain, our country will not be able to get a new life. The pain of scraping bones to cure poison always has to be endured, otherwise how can this poison be clean? ”

A student said, "Teacher, disciple has heard that the Tiele people are instigating a rebellion against Wairouran, and at this time, if we cut off the ministers with military merits, it seems that it will be unfavorable to the country. ”

"Otherwise, the rebels who are Rouran outside are just a small trouble, and Yuan is a big trouble. If the big tribulation is not eliminated, the small tribulation will be difficult to settle. Whether it is Rouran on the outside or in the three eastern provinces, at most it is a disabled limb, but if we ourselves cannot clean up the traitorous party inside, it will be like a human heart lesion and have a fear for our lives. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Lafayette's birthday is coming, you see, when the time comes, Shandong and Beiyang will repay with thick coins, so as to make the Queen Mother smile." And this thick coin comes from the people's fat and people's ointment. The people were already tired, and they had to pay more and more taxes, and they had to deal with these expenses, how could they not hate the court, and how could the world be good? If you want to strengthen the country, you must first strengthen the officials, and if you want to strengthen the officials, you must first govern the officials. And in order to govern the officials, it is necessary to strengthen supervision, so that they have eyes on their heads and whips behind them, and only in this way can they do things with their hearts. In the imperial court, it is no longer possible to act arbitrarily by ordinary people as in the past. ”

Several disciples knew that most of the disciples he was talking about were even included in the Queen Mother. The teacher is taking an extremely dangerous road, and his proposal to set up newsprint, introduce public opinion supervision, and strictly investigate the rule of officials is all the enemy of the officials of the whole world. The road is full of thorns, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that your head will break and bleed.

But Zhai Hongji has always been strong and narrow, and the disciples didn't dare to say more, so they had to talk to him. "Revitalization requires a change in the law, and the first thing to change the law is to use people, and the first thing to do is to use morality. Those who are not virtuous will learn more and less usable. What my generation has to do is to expel these people who have lost virtue from the court one by one for the court. This time the matter of setting up a governor outside the customs is a great opportunity, and I want to make these cunning villains suffer a big loss. It has always been extremely difficult to write off military salaries with soldiers, and I will explain to the household department, seeing that he comes back this time, how should the military salary be written off? ”

Several disciples knew that Zhao Guanhou's military salary was jointly borne by Siheng and Huabi Bank. Warby Bank has the right to supervise customs duties and salt taxes, and it must not be able to stop them. The card must be Siheng, and the reason for the card Siheng is not difficult to guess, Siheng gave up most of Shanxi's foundation and transferred it to Shandong.

Autumn goes to winter, and Cixi's birthday has finally arrived. Every time she reaches her longevity, there will be accidents, such as the Sino-French war and the defeat of Goryeo. In addition, now her body is not as good as before, she often has diarrhea, and her vitality is greatly lost, and she has to smoke dozens of tubes of soil every day to have the energy to manage politics. Li Lianying and Princess Rongshou have a consensus, this old woman's lifespan, I'm afraid there is not much left, this birthday has passed, and it is not good to say whether the next birthday can catch up.

Therefore, although it is not a good day and the state affairs are also very difficult, Rong Shou and Li Lianying still use the folk proverb that 66 should be held as an excuse, and organize the birthday for Cixi according to the regulations of Wanshou. Compassion is so luxurious, although he said that everything is simple, but when he saw the specific regulations, he only said nonsense, and did not punish anyone, but awarded a lot of favors, which shows his true thoughts.

The governors, generals, and admirals who entered Beijing to congratulate the shrimp were all given a grace order, and on the ninth, tenth, and eleventh days of the first month of October, they were allowed to "sit down and listen to the play" for a total of three days. The feudal officials who are over 50 years old will also be rewarded with "Xiyuan Gate Boat". Zhao Guanhou is the youngest one here, and he stands out from the crowd, and only the last seat has a seat. And Yuqing was also specially called by Cixi from Shandong to participate in the birthday banquet.

After she gave birth, she intensified her exercises, and her body shape did not change much, but she was a little more plump as a woman, not only did she not lose her color, but she became more charming. After Zhao Guanhou met her, he had countless warmth. Only at midnight, Yuqing lay on his chest and cried.

"Since I was a child, I have seen a lot of births, and I have seen a lot of difficult births. At that time, it was all about keeping the small and not the big, why are you so stupid, you have to say anything about the big and not the small. If it's a son...... Are you willing to do it? ”

"For the sake of my Yuqing, I have nothing to be reluctant to. If you work hard, we won't give birth again, okay? Leave the matter of giving birth to a roommate. ”

"No...... I have already decided, this daughter is given to Hanzhi, she can't give birth, this child is hers, and when she grows up, she will be called a mother. I'm going to give you a few more children...... As long as you don't dislike me. I always felt like I had gained weight after I had a baby. ”

"Where, where is fat, let me touch it?"

The husband and wife whispered secretly on their pillows, their ears and temples grinded, and in the same night, in the far north, artillery fire roared, projectiles flew one after another, and a brutal battle had begun. (To be continued.) )
