Chapter 722: The Star Falls
The Fengtai Teahouse at the front door, from the pre-Jin era, to Gonghe, then to Hongxian, and then to Gonghe, has always existed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info shopkeeper has changed from Lao Wang to Xiao Wang, and a generation has passed, and the big red paper on the wall "Don't talk about the country" has changed many stubbles. Now, it has been replaced with a brand new one, which is particularly eye-catching.
But in my heart, it is really too difficult to make the gentlemen of Sijiu City not talk about the country. If they don't talk about the country, then it is still called the feet of the Son of Heaven? Can you still call a character who is a master?
The hour hand points to ten o'clock, and most of the people who are soaking in the teahouse at this time have nothing to do, and the greatest pleasure is gossiping. Gossiping in Sijiu City, it is natural to say something different, so that the audience can be in awe, and give a thumbs up and say, "Master, that's it, you have to say that you know a lot, you know, there must be someone in the house, listening to errands in the house, and doing things in the courtyard, otherwise how can you know so clearly." "That's the face.
Of course, when talking about the country, we should also talk about the content limit, such as the more sensitive north-south dispute, the discord between the government and the court, this kind of thing can not be said more, as soon as you say it, the king shopkeeper will come over to give you a gift
"Master, you have pity on our small business, from my father's generation to me, I will do this one for a living, and I can't eat without this. For your sake, don't open your mouth and spare my life. "Well, there's no talk about it now.
What can be talked about is naturally a non-sensitive topic that the military and police will hear and will not interfere with. It's not sensitive, but it's also hot, and it takes some skill. At present, among such topics, the most interesting thing is the vigorous funeral of Emperor Hongxian.
"Our family has lived in Beijing for four lifetimes, and we have seen a lot of funerals, even if it is a big trip to the two palaces, it is not that I have never seen it. But I heard my father say that even when the emperor was in the old generation, he never saw such a big scene. ā
A frequent visitor to the teahouse, Qi Wuye, who has been brewing a pot of tea for a whole day, was dancing with his eyebrows, and the people around him drifted their eyes to him. Ha Qiye, who has been carrying the bar with him all the year round, snorted coldly: "Okay, your family, our family has lived in Beijing for six lifetimes, and we have even seen foreigners go out of funerals, what kind of white things haven't you seen?" He Yuan Weiting went to the funeral, why is he different from others? Halfway through the funeral, the dead are alive again? ā
"Seventh master, you don't have this, let's chat without looking for cheap, if you want to take advantage of you to go to the overpass, then you are not afraid of poverty. But if you want to talk about the funeral, it's not that I underestimate you, you really haven't seen this, who let you stay at home that day and didn't make it. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the longevity board first, that is a thousand years of ancient cypress in Taihao Mausoleum, I heard that when you knock on your hand, the jingle with the ring, is the sound of gold and stone. Think about it, if it weren't for the emperor, he would have been able to cut down the grave tree of Taihao Mausoleum? This truth is understood, but if you are not the emperor, who digs the grave is not a sin of killing your head? ā
"Oh, just the Cooper, that's not uncommon. When Lafayette was buried, it was still a gloomy wood from Yunnan, our hometown, at that time, he was an envoy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the reimbursement price was 480,000 yuan for this pair of materials alone. I don't think this cooper is worth so much. ā
Qi Wuye smiled proudly, "Oh, you said the price of this material, I'm not in the funeral preparation office, I can't tell how much it will be reimbursed." But if you want to talk about majesty, Galeries Lafayette is really bad. Thirty-two people are soft bars, out of Xinhua Gate, replaced by 80 people, and changed three shifts along the way. Wynn bar house, Liuhe shed shop, two co-organized. Of these two, who has not served the emperor Lafayette? When God blessed the big wedding, the Liuhe shed shop was not less effective, and people specialized in eating the emperor's food. ā
Ha Qiye sighed his teeth, "Oh, that's it?" Isn't it just a big change of three shifts, as if no one has ever seen it. When our family was wide, my grandfather also changed three shifts. At that time, there were rules to govern, and it was not allowed to use eighty bars, but sixty-four bars, that was also there, since he Yuan Weiting was called a lonely widow, eighty people were bars, it was a guard of honor that should be had, and it was not uncommon. ā
"Yes, eighty bars are not uncommon, you have to see what kind of people's eighty bars. The small bars of the thirty-two people, that are the thirty-two Beiyang generals of the General's Mansion as barmen, and Zhao Guanshuai of Shandong, who is a dignified marshal, also acts as a barmen. By the time of the third shift, there were 240 people, and there was not a single white ding. They are all Gonghe school officials, two hundred and forty poles with oriental swords, Seventh Master, when your old lady doesn't have them, can you find two hundred and forty poles with official bodies? He doesn't need to carry a foreign knife, even if he eats a lot of money, is there? ā
Ha Qiye was asked a word, his face turned red and white, "You...... You are! At that time, there was a ruler in charge, who would dare to toss it so much. ā
Qi Wuye smiled proudly, "Whoever dare, Zhao Guanshuai will dare!" This is not uncommon, rare is behind. When I was about to get to the station, there was a bustle, the second master of the Yuan family liked the gold and stone antiques the most, what is called paste, which is called a stele, how is it called Ding, everyone likes it. It's convenient to see everything in the palace, but when you leave the palace, you can't see anything. Whichever one to give up, my heart is uncomfortable, except for the heart and liver, it is a baby, which one can put it? Simply, take them all with you, and let the workers carry out more than 30 carved tablets of the Sanxitang Dharma from the palace. As a result, at the station, Adjutant Tang, who was under the president, stopped him. said that this is a national thing, not a Yuan family's thing, and you are not allowed to get on the bus. Guess so? As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Guanshuai shouted, I say what things can get on the car, anything can get on the car, I see who dares not to let it. Brethren, get on the bayonet! ā
He is over sixty years old, but when he shouted this, he was still full of energy, and he deserved to be a famous ticket in Sijiu City. Seeing that Ha Qiye's attention was also attracted, he shook his head and said:
"And guess what? Without saying a word, more than 100 Shandong soldiers took off their rifles and pointed their bayonets at the presidential guard. President Leba, don't look at him as a big president, it's useless. Under his hands, there was less than a row of people in the bag pile at that time, and he would definitely suffer a loss. In the end, I could only obediently admit it, and let the family send the stele to the car and have a roast chicken with a big nest neck. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the fall of the Yuan family, kill their prestige, and re-establish the rules. The result was good, the rules did not stand up, but they fell on their own platform. It's no wonder that by now, all of them have been mixed up with virtue. When you see the sky, you are left to sing Xiaoyaojin, isn't this all found by yourself. ā
Shopkeeper Wang coughed at this time, suggesting that Qi Wuye should pay attention to proportion, saying that the dead president is fine, and the living president is fine, but it is not okay to bully the president!
Fifth Master Qi also felt to himself, and hurriedly turned the horse's head, "Everyone, if you want to talk about this major event in life, it is nothing more than one life and one death." When you are alive, you are vigorous, and when you are dead, you have to be beautiful. Yuan Xiangcheng did not live in vain, the imperial concubine was martyred, and the generalissimo was funeral, and he was not a hero in vain. But let's take a look at it again, this Zhou Gongjin is just short of the market. ā
When it comes to Zhou Gongjin, he naturally refers to Cai Feng, the general who broke through tens of thousands of Beiyang soldiers with 3,000 hungry soldiers and gnawed down Chengdu. Ha Qiye asked, "What, do you still know about Cai Feng?" ā
"That's it. The three girls in our family married in Qingdao, and Cai Feng is now recuperating in Qingdao. A few days ago, she went back to her parents' house and told me about it. It's miserable, the whole person is so thin that he doesn't look like a child, I'm afraid it's only a matter of a day or two. I heard that it was a disease of not drinking water, and people were dying of pain, and now it is time to survive. That little Afeng girl was waiting for him in the ward, and everyone said that she was ruthless, but not always like that. Xiao Taohong does not abandon Yuan Erye, Xiao Afeng does not abandon Cai Songpo, these are all strange women in Fengchen, respectable. ā
Ha Qiye didn't care about raising the bar, nodded and said: "Only such a strange woman is worthy of a famous minister and tiger general like Cai Songpo." The two of them are a pair made in heaven. It's a pity that God doesn't open his eyes, how can such a good person not be good? I heard that he is not only very sick, but also has a large debt? ā
"Who says it's not. Don't look at the north-south peace talks, give him the official title of Sichuan overseer. But people said that if you succeed, you will go into the wilderness, and if you are not an official, you will not take office at all. You say that this overseer who doesn't take the seal, where did he get the money? That's not all, as soon as the battle was over, they were busy cutting down the army, saying that they couldn't let the soldiers harass the people, and they couldn't let the fields have fewer farmers, good people! But this dismissal of the army is not a matter of touching the upper lip to the lower lip, and you have to pay severance pay, or these Qiu Ba are all carrying guns, and they are not allowed to be robbed by bandits? For the Northern Expedition, in order to prevent the soldiers from looting, Cai Songpo borrowed 2 million from Hunan miners in his private name. On the front line, in order to share weal and woe with the brothers, the brothers ate what they ate. The dignified three armies ordered half a meter and half sand in the food they ate, and this disease was caused at that time. Since the beginning of the Jin and Ge Ming Parties, Cai Songpo is the only one who uses his net worth as a mortgage to borrow money to fight the war and pay the soldiers. He died, this debt, I don't know what to do, Li Bodhisattva doesn't know if he will pay it back. ā
Ha Qiye snorted coldly, "Still?" I don't think he has such a good eye. Besides, he said that it was useless, the president's signature and seal were like waste paper, and without Mr. Duan's signature, could he bring out the money? ā
Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang was about to make a move again, Ha Qiye got up first, "Rely on me today, I'm going to make trouble for you, so I'll leave." When you go home and scold the street, no one cares, right? Damn, what kind of world is this, good people are not rewarded, and wicked people have to get away. The queen and Cao Cao are against each other, and her soul is harmed, and they can't be together......"
Singing Erhuang, Ha Qiye just walked out of the teahouse, and saw the newsboy shouting hoarsely while running
"Look at the newspapers, read the newspapers, big news. Zhang Braid's performance made Xuzhou, and Zhao Guanshuai's performance won the handsome seal. The dispute between the government and the court has resumed, and whether the land official position is jointly owned or privately owned by the overseers will be seen from this case! ā
The autumn breeze was blowing, Ha Qiye shivered, and scolded his mother, "It's just a few days after An's birthday, and I'm going to make trouble again." The thieves in the south are still there, and they have to fight in their nests, and these four or nine cities are getting worse and worse. Then he shook his head and sang Erhuang all the way home.
Qingdao, as a Prussian reserve officer's vacation center, the hospital is an indispensable building. The medical facilities and even the level of health care doctors are excellent. After Zhao Guanhou's injection of funds and reorganization, this hospital is first-class even if it is international.
The consul of Albion, as well as the commander of the Weihai Guard fleet, set up a long-term ward in the hospital through connections. Even with the pickiness of the Albion gentleman, he could not find the problem of this hospital, which is enough to prove the level of this hospital from the side, of course, the fees are so expensive that only such people can enjoy it.
In the superior ward, the walls are whitewashed and the light is good, and the soft light shines into the beds. The scrawny patient, dressed in a hospital gown, was half-lying and half-sitting on the bed. A woman with a rather beautiful posture and demeanor, full of ladylike atmosphere, was holding a newspaper and reading it to him attentively.
Although the woman tried to pretend to be happy, the bloodshot eyes still revealed her grief and even despair. This despair is not for oneself, but for the patient in front of him. When I first saw him in the capital, the personable Confucian general is now sick like this, and the culprit died.
The hospital has already issued a diagnosis report, and even the best doctors in this era have nothing to do with Cai Feng's illness, and now it is just a delay. Due to the pain, Cai Feng has difficulty speaking, and there is less water and rice, at most he can get a little ginseng soup to maintain his life.
"Ah Feng ......"
Cai Feng's voice was very faint, almost inaudible, and Xiao Afeng had to put his head in front of Cai Feng to vaguely hear it.
"I listen...... The nurse said, there is a boat to be launched today, can you ...... Help me to take a look. ā
Blowing the sea breeze is certainly not a good thing for his body, but at this point, what does it matter if it is good or bad. When Cai Feng's hand was placed on Xiao Afeng's shoulder, she felt that this man was light and weightless. A joint military general has been emaciated to the point that even he can bear it, and the day when he will ride the wind away will not be too far away.
Launched was Shandong's first self-made steam gunboat. The tonnage is not large, and the firepower is not very strong, slightly stronger than the Baoshun wheel, and it is far from the real steam warship of Taixi. Moreover, the so-called self-production is also used in the Prussian shipyard built in Shandong, all the Prussian equipment, even the engineers and main technicians, are also Prussian, but now the property rights have been changed in the name of Zhao Guanhou.
But even the symbolic meaning is enough to make the people excited, watching the huge paddle wheel stirring up the water and black smoke coming out of the chimney, Cai Feng's eyes emitted a rare light, and he kept clapping his hands excitedly. Straight back to the ward, he still grabbed Xiao Afeng and didn't let go, talking a lot.
"I am courting Yuan, not for personal revenge, but for justice. The imperial system has harmed China for so long, and it should no longer become a shackle that restricts the country's development. Our National ...... There is finally hope. ā
"I'm so sorry for you, I can't give you money or a name. He also left such a large debt. Fortunately, people die and debts are eliminated, you are just a contact, and these debts have nothing to do with you. As long as you are in Shandong, those miners can't embarrass you. ā
"I can't give you anything, but I can write a letter to Zhao Guanhou, I believe that his personality will definitely give you a proper placement. What is owed to you will be repaid in the next life. ā
What he said in one day was more than the sum of what he had said since he moved into Qingdao Hospital. By the end of the day, only his lips could be seen, and he could no longer be heard. Xiao Afeng grabbed Cai Feng's hand tightly, did not interrupt or stop it, and did not even leave tears. It wasn't until she walked out of the room that she put her head against the wall in the corridor and cried.
There is no need for family members to accompany the bed at night, and there are nurses to accompany him throughout the process, but Xiao Afeng insisted on staying, holding Cai Feng's hand tightly, and like him, he said a lot of words. The nurse looked at the two of them with envy in her eyes. Because I couldn't bear to spoil this beautiful scene, I couldn't even take care of the usual inspection.
Until late at night, when she remembered her job, she found that Cai Feng's body had already been cold, and Xiao Afeng was still talking about love, as if Cai Feng was still alive.
The conjunct general star fell with the death of the great enemy. When he died, his demeanor was serene, without the slightest hint of pain, and he had already seen hope, which was enough to smile at Jiuquan. The scale and scene of its funeral are simple and low-key, which is not the same as Yuan Weiting, but regardless of the north and south, there are still a large number of military and political dignitaries who send them to mourn. In the middle, it was Xiao Afeng's own handwriting
Unfortunately, Zhou Lang was short-lived
knew that Li Jing was a hero
