Chapter 480: The Tiger Descends the Mountain

Beijing, Qianmen Station. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Juren, who went to Zhangde to work as a lobbyist, got off the train, and before he had time to rest, he was invited to the carriage by the person who picked him up and sent him all the way to the cabinet. Yi Kuang, who presided over the meeting, asked people to make tea, and only after Xu Juren drank a few sips of tea did he ask, "What did Rong An say?" ”

At present, the situation is very bad, the territory of the imperial court is losing more and more, and seeing that the Ge Ming Party is about to form a line, no matter how difficult it is to shake, even if it is a stubborn clan, at this time, it must be admitted that only by replacing Yin Sheng with Yuan Weiting can the country be saved.

Yuan Weiting used a procrastination decision at home, which dragged all the confidence of the imperial court away. Dignity and decency are all worthless in the face of objective pressure. Even Brother Alcohol and Empress Dowager Longyu, who advocated killing Yuan, can only give in to this Han courtier now, as long as they can keep the country, everything else can be retreated.

The way of heaven is constant, just like the Jurchen army that day, outside Bianliang City, trampled the dignity of the Song Dynasty under its feet again and again, and repeatedly crushed it. Now, Dajin's decency has also been stepped on by a Han courtier who was dismissed and vacant, and used as a stepping stone.

At the beginning of the imperial court, Yuan Weiting was appointed governor of Huguang and promised a bright future after quelling the rebellion. The outside is the governor, and the inside is the book, both of which refer to the affairs of the family, and it is not difficult to restore even the old authority.

However, Yuan refused to leave the mountain in the name of his foot disease. I had to send Xu Juren, the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, to contact. hopes that with the friendship between the two for many years, Yuan will be able to make Yuan unable to push the committee and go out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation. But looking at the current situation, it seems that this plan will also be frustrated.

After Xu Juren drank a few sips of water, he shook his head and said: "Don't mention it, Rong An doesn't give anyone face now, I went once, it is equivalent to running in vain, he refused to ease his cheeks at all, and prescribed some conditions, which are all things that can never be done." In my opinion, let's think of other ways to change people as soon as possible. ”

Yi Kuang shook his head and said: "If I could change it, I would have changed it a long time ago, the crown marquis is young, he can't pick up the overall situation, and when he gets to Yin Sheng's position, he won't be much better than him." Besides, I know his temperament, now I must be saving up strength to fight Jiang Ning, Wuchang, you transfer him, and he won't go. There is only one Yuan Laosi who can be used, if he refuses to move, there will really be no one. ”

Cheng Feng hurriedly said: "Hai Weng, what Yuan Weiting said, you might as well say it, and everyone will discuss it." ”

"Well, then I'll say it, he put forward six conditions. The first is to convene the National Assembly, the second is to organize the responsible cabinet to abolish the imperial cabinet, the third is to open up the ban, the fourth is to forgive the Ge Ming party, the fifth is to give military expenses, and the sixth is to demand that the front line command be given full powers. ”

The so-called convening of the National Assembly and organizing the responsible cabinet is actually that Yuan Weiting himself wants to be the general minister of the cabinet. If he were not appointed as the general office, this cabinet would certainly not be responsible, and Yuan Weiting would inevitably decide that this was not a responsible cabinet that met the requirements.

As for giving full authority to command the front line, when the war is over, how can the authority of this tiger and wolf division be recovered. The military and political power are all in one, and the rest should be the sword to go to the temple, and praise is unknown...... The Jin clan is familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the relationship between it is far more thorough than ordinary people.

Cheng Tao said angrily; "What a grandson! Before he could start singing, the appearance of the big white face was revealed, and I wanted to say that it was time to pass the decree and slaughter him! ”

Yi Kuang sneered: "Old Seven, your tone is really not small, you will kill if you say it." Tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line were trained by him, and if you kill him, you are not afraid that the soldiers on the front line will mutiny again? At that time, I'm afraid it won't be the province that will be shaken, and even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be peaceful, right? ”

Cheng Feng slapped the table violently, "Don't say it!" The country is like this now, it's useless to say anything, Yuan Si can't tolerate me, I'll just go. I've long been enough of this prison regent, and I'm not okay with the splints inside and out? From today onwards, I will retire to the Domain, and there will be no more of me. Whether the country is good or bad, don't push it on my head, I don't bear this burden. Uncle Qing, Guanhou is your son-in-law, Weiting is your student, they have done a good job, it is your brilliance, I look forward to your old man teaching a good student, and then a good aunt, to add glory to our Yan family! Sixth, seventh, don't stay, come with me, go home! ”

In Huanshang Village, Shen Jinying prepared a brand-new military uniform for Yuan Weiting, waited for him to dress neatly, and said with a smile: "I have been a fishman for a long time, and I will come out again to take Pixiu, you are a hard-working person who can't be idle." I'll keep this dress for you, and I'll know it's still useful. ”

"Jin Ying, you keep my clothes, your wife's clothes, there is no need to keep them, they are not worthy of your identity. It won't be long before I want you to wear a better dress, and then let's take a photo together, even if we don't live in vain in this life. ”

"Better? Above Mrs. Yipin, is there anything better? ”

"Of course there is, but you don't dare to think about it. But it doesn't matter if you don't dare to think about it, I'll think for you, you followed me once, I must be right. The people of our Yuan family, as long as they come out to be officials, will not live to be sixty years old, counting, my time is not too much, before closing our eyes, we all put on new clothes and take a photo, so that it is not in vain to walk in the world. ”

"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense......"

Yuan Weiting laughed, "I am a martial artist, the sword and gun have no eyes, the guns and bullets are ruthless, and I have never put the word life and death in my eyes." Those Grens are a great pawn, and I'm going to use them to help me get dressed. However, now some of these chess pieces don't know what their surnames are, and they want to pick them out of the chessboard to be chess players, I have to teach them some lessons, let them know that chess pieces are always chess pieces, and this world belongs to the strong, and there is no share of these people! ”

He looked at the map, "There are strong soldiers in Anhui Province, and Huizhou has the savings of those merchants, both people and money, Ji Chong has mentioned it to me several times, but Guanhou is our real confidant, and your brother, I still want to give him this place." ”

Shen Jinying said: "I heard that his wife was captured by Ge Mingjun in Jiangning, he may not have the heart to enter Anhui, right?" ”

"How's that going to work? Now is a big deal, not the time to talk about the personal affairs of children, if it is for a woman, it will ruin the military affairs, how can I put the burden on him in the future? As I said, no one in my family lives long. My son is not a good man, and I am ready to take charge of this country in the future. However, if you want to take charge of a country, the first step is to do it without being swayed by your own feelings. If there is no distinction between public and private, I dare not let him be in charge of state affairs. This time it can be regarded as a test for him, to see if he will choose. If he refuses to enter Anhui, then here, I will hand it over to Ji Chong to get ......"

When Sai Jinhua and the Chen family sent a telegram from Songjiang to Shandong, Zhao Guanhou was busy transporting antique books from the capital to Shandong. Duan Tao Zhai is a master of gold and stone, the collection is extremely rich, and the value of the collection is also high. It's just that his sons and nephews don't have the talent in this area, and they can't tell the truth of things, and they can't say whether they are good or bad.

Although Duan Fang served as the governor, his savings were collected from the people, and the assets left to his family were limited. The imperial court is currently in a tight economy, and the family is struggling to make a living.

The 50,000 silver sent by Zhao Guanhou prepared a house for them in Jiaozhou Bay, and undertook all the moving costs, so that the Duan family was grateful to Dade, and these antique books were almost treated to Zhao Guanhou in a kicking way, and it only took 200,000 silver before and after to complete the change of hands.

There is no museum in Shandong at present, so the books can only be stored in the Shandong Library in Jinan. Lending is not allowed, borrowing must also be strictly reviewed, only special VIPs can be approved, and the rest can only be seen by name. As for the antique utensils, a separate place was set aside for storage, and the busy hands were busy.

By the time he returned to Shandong, the telegram from Jiangning had arrived.

At this time, Jiangning had already been lost, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Renjun and others retreated to Xuzhou, and Jiangning was obtained by Ge Mingjun. The second telegram was sent by Chen Wuwei, the governor of the Shanghai Army, demanding that Zhao Guanhou immediately return the arms and release the imprisoned Ge Ming party members after reading the letter, otherwise the personal safety ...... Ms. Chen Lenghe would not be guaranteed.

His face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, even Ryanstein didn't say much at this time. After more than twenty minutes, Sun Meiyao knocked on the door, walked in, and put down a telegram

"Gao Sheng didn't dare to send it, so I had to come and run, Rong An issued an order, asking us to send troops immediately, enter Anhui in the middle of the road, and exterminate the Huaishang army."

Zhao Guanhou took the telegram, and then a group of "Brother-in-law knows about Leng He?" ”

"You know, there is something on his telegram that the great husband should not think of the woman, but should put the great thing first...... You also know what harsh conditions the court agreed to him this time, and he also wants to make a good example for the court to see. Besides, you beat Jiang Ning...... Who is he going to talk to? ”

Zhao Guanhou sneered: "Brother-in-law's abacus, it seems that everyone knows it, on the one hand, we want to fight, on the other hand, we have to talk, the front line is ready to fight Hankou, and in the rear, Ge Mingjun's envoy is also my brother-in-law's guest, which is very interesting." ”

Sun Meiyao said: "It's not just Gong Baona, in fact, we also have a secret envoy." ”

"Who?"

"Second sister-in-law."

After Zou Xiurong saw the telegram from Jiangning, he was a little embarrassed and explained to Zhao Guanhou, "Although Chen Wuwei is a member of the Xingzhong Society, he was not a backbone figure at the beginning. After arriving in Songjiang, he ran a newspaper and mixed in the gang, and made a career. I also provided him with a lot of help, I only know that this person and the four seas have a bit of a celebrity demeanor and are uninhibited, but I didn't expect that he could do this kind of thing, and he also set up Leng He's head. But don't worry, Ge Ming's army is strictly disciplined, and it will not be unfavorable to Leng He, and your second brother has also gone to Jiangning to negotiate solemnly with Chen Wuwei. If he refuses to release him, we will report it to Mr. Sun and let Mr. Sun uphold justice. ”

"Justice? Second sister-in-law, tell me what justice is. Zhao Guanhou's face was still ugly, and when he talked to Zou Xiurong, he was also a little indifferent

"Leng He is not a combatant, whether you engage in Ge Ming or fight the world, what does it have to do with her, she is a banker, you are short of money, you have to find a way to borrow it yourself, but you have to engage in the set of kidnapping tickets, is this to fight the world, or to be a ringing horse? If you want to say that you want to fight the world, I don't understand; If you want to say that he is a ringing horse, he Chen Wuwei is a scholar, and he is far worse than me! In terms of seniority, he is just a big character, I am a rite generation, Leng He is his aunt, he dares to invite his aunt's God of Wealth, in our threshold, this is to open a fragrant hall. Originally, I and you Ge Mingdang did not interfere with the river water, you didn't come to grab my territory, and I didn't do anything bad to you. But now, he stepped on one foot, and if I didn't make a sound, I would be too shameless. So, I'm sorry, this time, I'm afraid I'm going to let the second sister-in-law run away for nothing. ”

Zou Xiurong shook his head and said, "What do you call our Ge Ming Party, do you treat my second sister-in-law as an outsider?" You say this as if I am bullying you with outsiders. No matter what, we are all a family, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my own brother, and I will not let people bully you, let alone let Leng He be wronged. Wuwei matter, it really can't be counted like this, I will write a letter of accusation, and ask Mr. Sun to give you an explanation. ”

"Don't bother, this explanation, Emperor Sun can't give it! When it comes to official business, there is nothing wrong with what means you use to conquer the world. Moreover, there is an excuse for the sake of the country and the nation. With this big brand smashed down, no one can catch it. For the sake of the overall situation, sacrifice is inevitable, and this truth makes sense everywhere. Chen Wuwei had a small fault, but there was no big harm, and in the end, the board was raised high and fell lightly. I also approve of this business, but I can't get over it in my heart! Therefore, I don't talk to him about business, only about the threshold. He's helping, I'm helping, everyone is a person in the threshold, it's easy to say, I want to follow the rules of the gang, and deal with him for a minor crime. Do your own thing, do it yourself, and always have to get it back yourself. I have invited the people of Albion to come, and they have something to say about it. ”

"The people of Albion? What does this have to do with them? ”

"Of course it has a relationship, Miss Chen Lenghe, is a citizen of our Albiang, holding an Albiang passport, and the Shanghai Army Chen Wuwei's department, kidnapping the citizens of Albiang is a manifestation of the Albiang Empire, unfriendly, and our country's government will not sit idly by." The expression on the face of Albion's consul in Shandong, Kang Erxia, was not so much angry as proud.

"Minister Zhu Erdian has already issued an order, from now on, before Chen Wuwei releases Miss Chen Lenghe, the Albian Zhengfu refuses to recognize the legitimacy of Ge Mingjun's Zhengfu, and will not engage in any kind of transaction with them. Our citizens must abide by the orders of the government, and must not sell any materials to the government of Ge Mingjun, nor provide them with any form of assistance. ”

This kind of statement is similar to the statement made by Albiang when he helped Dajin to suppress Hong Yang that day, and the tone is already very serious. Without waiting for Zou Xiurong to explain, Zhao Guanhou had already asked: "If I want to borrow your country's warships to transport my troops across the Yangtze River, how much money will be needed, please draw up a figure for Your Excellency the Consul." ”

"What? Zhao Gongbao has made a decision? ”

"This kind of thing is meant to be decided, isn't it? If your own woman is arrested, as a husband, she has to think of a way to save people, which is an unshirkable duty. Your Excellency the Consul will give me a number, and I will never make a counteroffer. ”

"Your Excellency's statement is indeed like the style of an Oriental knight, you can rest assured, I promise that our Yangtze River Fleet will provide you with comprehensive assistance, so that you can realize how sincere Albion is to his friends. In terms of price, it is negotiable, and what we care about is to punish the bandits who dare to offend the authority of Albian, and the economic issues are not important. ”

Zou Xiurong knew that something was wrong, Zhao Guanhou's anger had obviously reached the limit, and even he couldn't persuade him. I can hope that Chen Wuwei will rein in the precipice and release the hostages as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. (To be continued.) )
