Chapter 40: The Great Edict of Law Change

The twentieth day of the first month of the twenty-first year of Guangxu.

On this day, Emperor Guangxu rarely called a formal court meeting in the Forbidden City, and the six departments of the Jiuqing Inspectorate and various important yamen of Tianjin were gathered together. Since Xianfeng Beijia Chengde, such a large-scale court meeting is unprecedented!

The full hall of officials stood according to the rank of the mountain, bowed their waists and controlled their backs, and waited for the full set of honor guards of the great court meeting to be completed.

The cigarette smoke in the Taihe Hall was filled, and the net whip sounded. The eunuch knocked the eight tones of the dictionary long. is pressing the words "it is difficult to be a king and a minister".

All this, in a trance, still makes people feel that the glory of the Qing Dynasty has reappeared.

In fact, before this court meeting, there were rumors in the officialdom and people of the capital for a long time. According to the original plan, after the edict of seeking truth from state affairs was issued, it would take three or two months to sort out the opinions sent by all sides, and comprehensively consider the banner clan, princes, nobles, Han officials, Qingliu, and foreign powers............ and the different opinions of the DPRK and China. will officially issue a great edict to change the law. During the reform period, there will be a system bureau with the power to refresh the law, and the system bureau will be filled by the princes and ministers and military ministers. The various yamen in the capital only have the right to pursue the notes of the system bureau, and have no power not to accept them.

The banner people even rumored that many matters in the Zongren Mansion this time would be returned to the System Bureau! Banner people's upbringing, bereavement, grace, and interest............ This time, everything has to be taken out and discussed, if the discussion is good, it is fine, if the discussion is not good, maybe you will have to pull out the hardcore crops of the flag man! Because of this incident, the banner clan saw that Tian'er found Cixi to probe and said that he was wronged. The big guys all know that Xu Yifan is forced, and the court has to change the law, but it is related to the source of the banner clan's life, and it can be delayed for a day, as for the future, they are not all sages, who cares so much? As long as Xu Yifan doesn't enter Yanjing City for a day, he can't shorten the monthly flag people's salary so much!

In addition to them, there are also a group of big forces who have also tried their best to obstruct the official change of the imperial court. Most of these people are Beijing officials with seniority, their beards are white, and their blood is cold. Except for going to the yamen at noon every day to draw a word, I can't do anything. When I go home, I write a white post, and I fly to the Ling. These Beijing officials who have come up with qualifications can be said to be waste. said that the son was also living tightly, and the little money of the Beijing officials, plus the seal of the guarantee points for the donation of officials to the townspeople, was just barely enough. There are many abolished yamen in the Qing Dynasty that are completely useless, such as Zhan Shifu and the like, which are stuffed with such Beijing officials, and they are neither the imperial party nor the rear party - no party looks down on them, they are completely a bunch of rice buckets.

One of the most important aspects of the reform of the system bureau is to change the official system and cut off these useless yamen. These yamen have been cut, where do they go to beg for a living? The rich ran away first, leaving them to be loyal vassals. Now I have to smash their jobs, is it unbearable, and I have to fight with fucking Tan Si and these lucky villains. Since the news of the change came out, these Zijing officials and yamen have not been painted, and they have not written white posts. All day long, he pulled his fellow villagers to find a teacher and beg the court officials, and asked for a knot to the court, saying that they were loyal to the court, and now the court wanted to give them a good way to raise them, and they couldn't say that they would lose it. There was a lot of trouble, several gatherings of fellow villagers, hundreds of Beijing officials were like a big funeral outside the Longzong Gate, and a group of old men cried together, scolding Tan Sitong for cutting off his children and grandchildren in the Longzong Gate.

In this way, Tan Sitong, who presided over the law change, had to issue an edict to ask for truth first, and then issue an edict for the official law change for a period of time. Cixi also said from the garden several times: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, not to mention such a big thing as changing the law!" I'd rather be steady than too struggling............"

If Liu Kunyi is still there, this old handsome man who has great prestige in various governors and has enough qualifications and abilities. The painstaking and lonely ones still supported a shelf in Zhili and initially stabilized the situation. The big guy still has a bit of an illusory sense of security because of Liu Kunyi's existence - it's the easiest thing to fool yourself about anyway. Everyone still has the spirit to talk about changing the law and not changing the law here. But with the news of Liu Kunyi's death, the whole court has lost hope, and now it really depends on everyone in this Sijiu City!

The flag man went into the garden to find Cixi to complain about his grievances, but was driven out by the old lady with a straight face, and cried and reprimanded them: "It's still troublesome!" Want to put me in a coffin? Can't you let us save some snacks now? As soon as Xu Yifan enters Yanjing City, see if you dare to make trouble with him at that time! Do you have to make trouble with the surname Aixin Jueluo to go back to drill the old forest? If you come to this thing again in the future, you will break all your legs! ”

The Beijing officials coaxed, and the city patrolmen of the infantry yamen also pulled down their faces, and they messed up with sticks, regardless of whether it was insulting Sven, and beat these old men to crawl and cry: "Your Majesty, don't want us anymore!" ”

This law has only changed! Otherwise, the entire Qing Dynasty will only collapse!

Since the law must be changed, power must be concentrated in the system bureau. Who belongs to this power is the point. The post-party can't pick any leading figures now, and after Shi Duo left, it withered for a while. And Liu Kunyi left his military power to Tan Sitong. Everyone is almost certain that after the edict is issued today, Tan Si will lead this apocalyptic change with the essentials of this system bureau. The power of the military and the power of government are almost concentrated in his hands. The two brothers, he and Xu Yifan, are really the two most dazzling characters in this last days. People who have good deeds have already given him the honorific title of the second emperor behind his back, and it is not that there are no people who have a heart to provoke him. But needless to say, Guangxu's trust in him, even Cixi Lafayette spread the word, don't say anything about Tan Sitong in front of her, she doesn't listen to anything, and it's in vain if you say it!

In the Taihe Palace, all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hostile eyes were focused on Tan Sitong, who was standing in the second-grade shift. And Tan Si was dressed in the same court clothes, sincere, and his eyes were just focused on the tip of his nose. didn't seem to notice that she had become the focus of the attention of all officials.

………… Seeing that he is about to reach the peak of his life, why is he not the slightest joy, not the slightest bit of ambition, and only feels an urge to let go of all the burdens?

The path is all chosen by yourself, so there is no need to complain............ The whip rang three more times, and the golden chime was also struck, and there was a buzzing sound. All the ministers lowered their heads, and they heard the sound of boots, and Guangxu had already walked out from behind and walked to the Sumeru seat. The sound of the emperor's footsteps was almost so light that it was about to be drowned out by the sound of breathing in the hall, and some people peeked up, and saw the twenty-four-year-old emperor, a thin figure standing quietly in front of the seat, looking at the red top that was slightly shaking at the bottom with a slightly dazed look.

The emperor's face was almost paper-pale, and his waist was hunched over. After standing there and losing his mind for a moment, he slowly returned to his seat.

In the empty Taihe Palace, Guangxu's voice slowly sounded: "The ministers are ............"

The edict of changing the law slowly spit out with Guangxu's golden words. Everything is like Tan Sitong's secret discussion with the emperor before.

Set up a system bureau to formally prepare for the change of the law.

To prepare for the training of the new army, first train 60 battalions. It refers to the income of the Tianjin Customs as the funds for the training of the new army. Deficiencies, the Minister of Quasi-New Army Recruitment and Training used any means to act cheaply and try to raise as much as possible.

Tan Sitong, Wen Tingshi, Xu Tong, Erle and Bu are the general ministers of the System Bureau, and Zai Lan, Kang Youwei, and Sun Yuwen are the deputy ministers of the System Bureau.

Tan Sitong and Prince Qing Yixuan are the ministers of the General Office of the New Army's recruitment and training, Kang Youwei and Zailan are the assistant ministers.

Tan Sitong is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Kang Youwei has the title of waiter in the Ministry of Rewards.

……………… These candidates were all selected after several setbacks, and they were only taken out after taking into account the balance of power on Cixi's side. The two parties of the system bureau and the emperor and queen are half apart, and the recruitment and training of the new army is the top priority, and Cixi even turned out Prince Qing Yixuan from the pocket. This prince has very good qualifications, and has presided over the prime minister's national affairs yamen, and will also handle the navy yamen. I don't know how to be cold by Cixi for a few years, but picking it out at this time is just the right time to balance Tan Sitong's power on the important matter of the new army.

No matter how this personnel is arranged, one thing is indisputable, Tan Sitong has become the first person in the Qing Dynasty under the justifiable imperial power! The depth of his sustenance and the weight of his use. Guangxu is the last gambling book, all on him!

There is also a bitter smile in the personnel arrangement, Shi Duo cut the land without authorization, Xu Yifan, the governor of Liangjiang, has meritorious service in the whole vassal country, and he is rewarded by the first-class Bo and the first-class Haidong Marquis, which clearly shows that he doesn't want to tear his face with Xu Yifan, and strive for some time to take a breath for his plan to change the law and train the army!

“…………… The country is weakened, the wind and rain are shaking, and the pilgrimage of the country has been inherited for more than 200 years, and it cannot be destroyed in my hands! In the same year of Xian, Hongyang rebelled in 14 provinces, and Emperor Wenzong hunted the Rehe River in the north. At that time, the mountains and rivers were broken, but it didn't rely on Zeng Huzuo and Li to rise up and create a Zhongxing situation? I have the same expectations for you! Zhongxing celebrities, just between you and others! The move to change the law and strengthen the country has worked, and you will always be with the Qing Dynasty! Why should I be stingy with high-ranking officials and treat meritorious heroes? ”

Guangxu above spoke earnestly, bending over and saying that tears were about to fall. Tan Sitong stood in the middle of the class, but he felt that he didn't seem to be able to listen to a word.

Guangxu said at the end and stood up: "Tan Sitong!" ”

Tan Sitong was shocked, bowed his head and went out of class: "The minister is here!" ”

"The edict has been issued, and the weight of the Qing Dynasty is entrusted to Lord Tan! Lord Tan, old man is dead, new sages are destined to live, all hopes, Lord Tan, don't live up to my expectations! ”

Speaking of which, Guangxu actually took a deep dip in front of the dragon seat!

Tears surged into Tan Sitong's eyes, and everyone's eyes were cast on him with double emotion!

Tan Sitong's legs were weak, and he knelt heavily on the ground, and his voice was already whimpering: "Minister............ Dare not do your best, and then die! ”

Before Duke Liu left, he trusted me, and the holy monarch treated me Tan as a national soldier, and he could only repay him with a national soldier. What else does it matter? Brother Chuanqing, Brother Chuanqing, from this moment on, we are already real enemies!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jiangning City, Houhu.

The ancestral hall for the soul of the former governor Liu Kun has been set up on a small island in the middle of the lake. These small islands of Houhu Lake were hidden in the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of years later, it has long become a place where literati poetry and wine are returned. Liu Kunyi's ancestral hall is located on one of the small islands, the back lake is vast, the island is covered with withered grass, Zhongshan is in sight, and the stone is not far away. But I don't know if this veteran of the Hunan Army, who wants to support the Qing Dynasty with a hard heart, will he go to Jiangning, the place where he has made great achievements and traveled for more than ten years, to see when he returns to his hometown?

Dozens of Goshha, surrounded by Xu Yifan and Zhang Peilun, are coming to this small island to incense Liu Kunyi. The island is scattered and scattered, and some people have already come to pay tribute to Liu Kunyi. Such old ministers and heavy generals are one less dead in these years. A lifetime's work is returned to dust like this, and it is enough for people to sigh.

Xu Yifan also knew that he came here to make incense and sacrifices, but it was just for the people of the world to see. After doing so, others still suspected that he did it, and they inevitably scolded two fake sentences in their hearts. But he still has to come, the remnants of Xianghuai are all over the Qing Dynasty, and he came to this trip, which is to express his respect. Political things are so strange, even if it is really Liu Kunyi who he killed, others will understand a lot if he comes to such a trip. Move Liu Kunyi's hand, that is a means that has to be done in order to usurp the Qing Dynasty, and you won't pretend to do this kind of thing, why are you playing politics?

Liu Kun's ancestral hall is very simple, but it is half of the house, with a spiritual seat, and the incense burner in front of it is already thick. There is also a pair of elegiac couplets hanging next to it, "Born for the community, spinning and turning into a kun, the emperor relies on the public alone." ”;“ Ride the tail of the kei to go, left and right, who is more concentric with me? "The ink is dripping, and it is clearly new.

Zhang Peilun accompanied Xu Yifan beside him, looking at this couplet, the corner of his eyes jumped. peeked at Xu Yifan, but Xu Yifan didn't see it, just put on the incense and bowed three times sincerely. He straightened up and sighed: "Liu Gong Liu Gong, although you are not a smart opponent, you are an opponent worthy of respect,............ You deserve my gift. ”

Zhang Peilun next to him also sighed: "Gong Liu, if you go, the court has finally changed the law." Every time this court does something, it seems that it needs the blood of many people to promote............ But even if they do, they can't do it! We can't afford to pay this price, but I don't know if you are laughing or sighing under Jiuquan? ”

The news of the Yanjing Imperial Court's change of law was issued at the court meeting in the morning and spread to Liangjiang in the afternoon. Except for the insiders in Yanjing City, the onlookers were not so shocked. First of all, this makes it clear that if it weren't for Xu Yifan's existence, the court wouldn't know when this change would be promoted. The world already has the choice of Xu Yifan, who cares so much when he comes to hold Buddha's feet again? It's just a matter of watching and seeing what tricks they can conjure.

Another point, in Yanjing City, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and there is such a big burden as the flag clan. If you want to change the law, it's easier said than done! It's really not as good as Xu Yifan who started from scratch and entered Yanjing to tear down and rebuild.

When everyone had no choice, they hoped that the imperial court would change the law to deal with the great changes unseen in the past 3,000 years, and now they have a choice............ Why didn't you change the law in the first place?

The things of this world, in the final analysis, are still a sentence, between the court and Xu Yifan, a winner can determine the direction of the world!

The imperial court came up with this last resort to change the law, how could Xu Yifan do it and watch?

After the two of them finished the incense, they walked outside. Zhang Peilun shook his head: "I really don't know who did it............ These days, I think about it over and over again, but I just can't understand it. It's a bit tricky to have such a variable out of nowhere............"

Xu Yifan glanced at him and said with a smile: "There is no information, it's not that I can't judge!" As soon as Liu Gong went, now all aspects are moving, and the curtain has opened! Didn't Yijun obediently call to say that he went north? It's all dead............ Yuan Shikai sent a telegram, saying that he would infiltrate Zhili Zuo to collect information and respond to this change............ Training and leading troops, he said that it is not as good as Yunzong and Wanli, so he won't join in the excitement, and he can still make efforts to repay this matter............ I applaud him. Youqiao, we haven't been in Jiangning for long! Tomorrow I'm going to take a boat down to Shanghai. ”

Zhang Peilun first exclaimed: "Yuan Weiting is really an outlaw under the handsome!" Regardless of his previous suspicions, the handsome man is contained in him, which seems to be really right............ Dashuai said that he left for Shanghai tomorrow, is there any news from the foreign devils? ”

Xu Yifan nodded slightly, and Zhang Peilun took a breath: "Congratulations for the handsome!" ”

There was no joy on Xu Yifan's face: "He, what's it, it's nothing more than to bargain, the country is weak, and some things have to look at their faces, thinking about it is aggrieved!" Now that they don't negotiate with me, is there still the court that only has half a breath left to negotiate the price? I am the only one who can stabilize the situation in Asia, and the little devils have been beaten and half-crippled by me! ………… I'm not too concerned about any of this. I always feel that there is a storm brewing above Yanjing City that I can't say what it is! Look again, look again............ Times change, there will always be a cruel and gorgeous ending, I'm afraid the blood is too heavy............ I have already told Yuan Shikai that I have to take the fifth brother out! ”

Without Wang Wu, he Xu Yifan would have become a pile of wolf dung on the grassland long ago, how could he have today? The situation in Yanjing City is unpredictable now, and he Wang Wu is in the name of Xu Yifan's righteous brother, what good fruits can he eat! Now Tan Sitong can still take care of him, what about when Tan Sitong himself is difficult to protect? The tide lifted him to the top of the waves, and Xu Yifan was not very optimistic about his prospects.

Hearing Xu Yifan mention Wang Wu, Zhang Peilun didn't have an interface, this involves the matter of their three brothers, how can outsiders say it? Xu Yifan and Tan Si are both Jinlan, but now they are wrestling on different positions. The world has long spread about this great gossip topic, and there is everything to say. In terms of justice, it doesn't matter if these staff members say anything, but how to take care of this brotherhood, outsiders should not intervene.

The two talked and walked out of Liu Kunyi's ancestral hall. Dozens of Goshha outside were on guard, and some people who came to offer incense to Liu Kun were just watching curiously in the outermost circle.

Seeing Xu Yifan come out, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd outside, clenched his fists and shouted: "Xu Yifan! You also have the face to come to Liu Gong's ancestral hall! You assassinated Liu Gong, and you came to show the world! I, Jiang, fought with you! ”

When the person came to be in his fifties, Xu Yifan's eyes were quick, and he immediately understood that it was Jiang Daozhong, the original school station in Jiangsu Province of the Qing Dynasty! This old man Jiang provoked a fight between the gentry and Xu Yifan behind his back. As a result, Xu Yifan was locked up in Mucheng until the New Year was about to be released, and every day steamed buns and side dishes, their faces were almost green. Xu Yifan didn't embarrass them much, but just invited him over and comforted them, each of them is true, now that the victory and defeat have been divided, the big guys don't have to hold on. Master Jiang can't be an official anymore, you can go wherever you like, I Xu Yifan doesn't care.

Everyone else retreated in fear, for fear of a long delay in Jiangning City, in case Xu Yifan was in a bad mood one day, remembering the past, please come back and talk about your heart, and then stay in Jiangning, it will be full of food! Only Jiang Daozhong did not leave, and said in Jiangning City that he would observe the festival for the Qing Dynasty, he was an official of the Qing Dynasty, and Xu Yifan was not qualified to dismiss him. I rented a house and lived there, and went around all day to worship the door, saying that I wanted to connect with the loyal and righteous people. At this time, who cares about him! They all thought that Jiang Xuetai was phlegm.

I didn't expect to bump into Xu Yifan today, this old guy is going to fight hard! I don't know if I hate Xu Yifan, a chaotic minister and thief, or hate Xu Yifan for smashing his job.

Seeing Jiang Daozhong rushing over, Xu Yifan's eyebrows didn't move, he was angry and funny. Before he could speak, the Goshkhas had already pinned him to the ground. Pu Yang and Chen De had already hurriedly pasted over and blocked in front of Xu Yifan, and Pu Yang also ordered loudly: "Search your body!" Let's see if there's a guy in him! ”

The Goshha had a lot of strength, and Jiang Daozhong ate a mouthful of soil, rolled his eyes and wanted to stand up, but he was pressed even tighter. A search of him was made, but a little bit of silver was found. This guy really came at Xu Yifan with two fists.

Xu Yifan waved his hand: "Let go, what's the ............ with him?"

A few Goshha obeyed the order and let go, Zhang Peilun walked over with a wry smile: "Brother Qingjie, why are you doing this?" Didn't you leave Jiangning? Brother will give you a copy of Cheng Yi, let's go. Why spend it here? ”

Jiang Daozhong turned over and sat up, glaring at Zhang Peilun: "I am a loyal minister!" Zhang Youqiao, you are shameless! I'm not talking to you......... Xu Yifan, you are just demagogic under the banner of improving the current situation, and the court has now changed the law! I see how many more days you can jump! When the time comes, I will be the one sitting in the Liangjiang Governor's Office! ”

Xu Yifan smiled, he would be stupid if he wanted to argue with this half-crazy old man, shook his head and walked towards the boat by the lake. Jiang Daozhong sat there and let go of his voice: "Xu Yifan, you are destined to be alone if you do such an unpopular thing!" Your brother Tan Sitong has also recognized your true colors, and now he is helping the emperor and the Holy Monarch! And your eldest brother, Wang Wu, the hero of Beijing, why did he stay in the capital? It's not that you don't want to take care of what your dog doesn't eat! Whoever stands in your way, you will kill whom, now that Liu Gong is gone, who will you kill next? Are you going to rush into Yanjing City and kill your righteous brother cleanly, so that the world knows what you are! ”

Xu Yifan's face sank suddenly, and he stood there still. Zhang Peilun shouted: "Tie him up!" Shut him up! ”

A few Goshha obeyed the order, but Zhang Peilun came over: "Dashuai, this surnamed Jiang is only afraid of phlegm, and if he can't deal with him, send Jiang Ning, and forget it." ”

Xu Yifan smiled faintly: "Youqiao, will I still embarrass him?" Don't tie it up, send it away, and let him go if he doesn't go............ Hmph, the court changed the law. I really want the whole world to see what this change will be in the end! ”

He looked up to the sky with a cold expression: "This notoriety, Lao Tzu took it first............ Youqiao, send a letter to Li Zhongtang, saying that please stay in Hefei safely, and I will send someone to protect him............ Since I say that I will kill whoever stands in my way, then I must take care of these people who can cause me trouble! ”

Zhang Peilun's face changed greatly: "Handsome! ”

Xu Yifan looked at him coldly: "Youqiao, I'm not harming Zhongtang, I'm saving him!" The imperial court now grasps the straw as a life-saving rope. They cried and begged Zhongtang to come out of the mountain to deal with me, Zhongtang out of the mountain or not out of the mountain? I am a wicked person to the end, and Zhongtang has also saved and confessed............ Well, I'll see who dares to stand in my way! To win the world, in addition to hope, there must be prestige! Even if my brother is in the way, I will push him away! No one can stop me! ”

Xu Yifan didn't know that Zhang Peilun's face was angry, but he was actually relieved in his heart. Regarding the matter of Tan Sitong going north, Xu Yifan has been acting a little wandering, as if he doesn't know how to deal with him. If you want to take it against you, how can you have the hearts of your children! Now that he has made up his mind to treat Tan Sitong as an enemy, it means that Xu Yifan has made up his mind and wants to go to the end on this road of reversing and seizing!

As for Li Hongzhang, he is indeed the most prestigious person besides Xu Yifan, and compared to Tan Sitong, he can cause Xu Yifan a lot more trouble. As Xu Yifan said, he sent troops to protect Li Hongzhang, which was to help Zhongtang step down...... In the past, Xu Yifan didn't want to be too ugly, I don't know if he still has a bit of political cleanliness in his heart or something. Now that he has inexplicably borne this notoriety, he has finally decided to be ruthless!

"Handsome ............" Zhang Peilun put on a posture of persuasion, and Xu Yifan also did as he expected, ignoring him and getting on the boat by himself.

Entering the cabin, the flower boat slowly opened the waves and moved forward. Chen Depuyang vigilantly held the stern of the boat. The city wall built in the Ming Dynasty is majestic and vicissitudes of life hovering in front of you, and where you enter the eyes, there are lakes and mountains, but there is no point in Xu Yifan's heart.

Zhang Peilun's attitude, Xu Yifan understood it very well in his heart. But he still had to go with the flow. When he reaches his status, he can only do things that are in line with his identity and career. Brothers turn against each other, bear the infamy of the world, and do enough ruthless things............ That's the price of winning the world?

True............ Fucking tired.

At this time, what came to Xu Yifan's mind was not the emperor's hegemony, but Li Xuan's Luo Shi cuckoo's delicate faces, sleeping on the knees of these innocent and lovely girls, maybe it was the best rest............ Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, it turns out that this is what it means............ Suddenly, in his mind, there was Xiuning's beautiful and quiet face. Talked to Xiuning a few times, every time she smiled so gently, listened to his words quietly, and answered according to his meaning empatheticly............ But she's the character of the flag man!

Xu Yifan sat up straight, beat his head, and then scolded fiercely: "Fuck! What do you think? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suiyuan City.

From the west gate, the resolute troops of the brigade were pulled out, and the officers rode to follow the queue. If the battle in the First Sino-Japanese War started and the Yi Army sent troops, everyone's faces were full of sadness and gloom. This time, everyone was elated.

In the ranks, the soldiers and officers asked questions and answers loudly, and they were all beaming.

"My lord, let's go this time, how many towns are we going to change the Praetorian Guard?"

"How does Lao Tzu know? The rabbit cub walks yours well, a thousand miles, don't you know when you arrive? ”

"My lord, the Praetorian Guard's leather boots are handsome! The military uniform of the foreign tweed, and then nailed the Canglong collar badge, will not be changed for the county master! ”

"You have to pick it to change into that tiger skin! All of them are in good spirits, don't brush them down when the time comes, Lao Tzu's face will not be bright! ”

"Thirty-three days, three two three, we have eaten three two three salaries for so many years, and the black silver of Songjiang Ping is still in our hands, and when we arrive in the Praetorian Guard, we should taste what it is like to pay eighty or twenty taels a month!"

"Lao Tzu is a sentinel, as if he has taken more than you to heaven! It's not a salary for thirty-three days, and it's not a black silver from Songjiangping! ”

The long queue rolled up the sky full of smoke and dust, and the front and back of the team were full of such laughing questions and answers. Some of them are in such good spirits that they actually opened their voices and started singing!

Song Qing crossed his waist and rode on his horse, watching his team roll forward on a mound, and then looked back at Suiyuan, a famous city on the top, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Let's go!" After staying for decades, I don't know when I will be able to come back! But I finally found a way out for the brothers, better than following a stubborn old man like me! ”

Beside him, it was Yuan Shikai and his party, they all changed into the black cloth cotton jackets of the merchants, and the camels they were holding in their hands. The camels were loaded with crates of goods, and they didn't know what they contained. Yuan Shikai watched Song Qing for a while, heard the old man's emotion, and finally smiled: "Song Junmen, look at the jubilation of the brothers!" Yuan someone can be guaranteed, and there will be no mistake with our handsome! ”

Song Qing smiled and bowed his fist, thanking Yuan Shikai for coming in person: "Brother Yuan, I still think you should go with us." When you arrive in southern Liaoning, you can go south to the capital, and there is a response on the road after all, you go to Zhili so alone, the old man is really not at ease! ”

Yuan Shikai was full of energy and smiled: "Junmen, doing things for the marshal, just can't delay." Take a turn from southern Liaoning and go to Zhili again, I don't know how things have changed! The military gate has the messenger of the military gate, and Yuan someone also has Yuan someone's business...... Junmen, let's break up, I wish Junmen a step by step promotion under the command of the marshal! ”

Song Qing smiled: "Step by step............ Mao is seventy people, and if he rises again, he will ascend to the earth. Brother Yuan is a good man! The old man is here to wish you all the best and a bright future ahead! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled and clenched their fists, turning their heads in different directions.

Song Qing galloped down the mound, and finally took a deep look west in the direction of Yanjing City, and then turned his head and never looked back.

And Yuan Shikai, who was heading towards Yanjing City, and Song Qing's relaxed demeanor with him had long been gone. There was only a deep light in his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ night was low, and on the martial arts training ground of the Friends Dart Bureau, Wang Wuzheng was bent over, turning seven stars in the field. In the past, he was busy with the affairs of the dart game, and sometimes he couldn't be too calm when practicing martial arts. Since the dart game suffered a big accident, he has doubled his ability to concentrate on polishing his martial arts, and in the past two years, even he himself has felt that his internal and external kung fu has become more and more refined.

He turned the seven stars fast and slowly in the field, which was the skill of the Five Elements Serial Fist. The breathing is also fast and slow, all in the fist. With every turn, his fist gloves changed, and in the eyes of connoisseurs, any direction could be conjured up with the strength of splitting and drilling, and he could move with him. Later, his heart was completely sunk in the fist, and every movement seemed to carry a faint wind!

Suddenly, he retracted the gong frame, pulled his back with his chest, and his eyes were like cold lightning in the night: "Who?" ”

There was a figure standing at the door of the martial arts training ground wall, and he laughed in a low voice: "Fifth brother, good kung fu." ”

Wang Wu fixed his eyes and fell on the shelf: "Resurrection, why are you here?" ”

The emperor issued a great edict to change the law, and his brother was so useful that it was already rumored in the market. His two brothers, one of whom is already the king of Liangjiang in Liangjiang, is also rumored to take this country. There is also a person who now gives the honorific title "Second Emperor", what kind of status is this! He Wang Wu didn't want any benefits from his brothers, and this period of time was doubled and simple. I'm just proud in my heart, look at my two brothers Wang Wu!

Xu Yifan won the country, he felt that there was nothing wrong. There have been many changes of dynasties in history. Look at what kind of immoral thing the current Qing Dynasty court is doing! The Xu brothers won the national war, and they actually want to sell North Korea!

It's just that he also has a brother who wants to protect the Qing Dynasty............ Sandwiched between two brothers, he really didn't know what to do.

With such a high status and such a busy affair, why did he come to him late at night?

Tan Sitong walked out of the shadows, Wang Wu's eyes were good, and he could see the haggard on Tan Sitong's face at a glance. It's just that a pair of eyes are still dark and dull, and there seem to be countless things in them.

He smiled reluctantly at Wang Wu: "Fifth brother, I can't come to you?" Brothers are one-year, and being an official is only temporary............"

Wang Wu picked up his clothes and put them on, and stopped him: "Then don't say more, no matter what, accompany the fifth brother to drink two cups first." After punching, relive the blood............ When I got to the fifth brother, I opened my heart, and the fifth brother begged you if you have nothing to do! ”

Tan Sitong smiled bitterly: "Fifth brother, don't be in a hurry to drink, my brother has something to ask you for............"

"What's the matter?" Wang Wu raised his eyebrows, Tan Sitong's current status and status, I don't know how big a deal it is to come to the door! There is nothing else, and there is one more of Wang's five lives.

Tan Sitong sighed slightly, took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Wang Wu. Wang Wu took a look at it, and his face pulled down.

"Brother, what do you mean by you stuffing me with these thousand taels of silver?"

Tan Sitong smiled, his face pale: "Fifth brother, this is my money, clean money............ The brother didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to beg the fifth brother to leave the capital and go to Jiangning. Brother Chuanqing will take care of your fifth brother. ”

Wang Wu just glared at him. Tan Sitong's smile became more and more desolate: "Fifth brother, my brother is now being pushed on the cusp of the storm, presiding over this great cause of law change............ I don't know how many intertwined forces will be involved in this cause! Once you fall, you will be crushed! When the time comes, the brother will not be able to take care of the fifth brother, and the Qing brother is powerful, and he misses the old, so he will definitely take care of the fifth brother well............ Fifth brother, let's say goodbye! ”

Wang Wuyi stuffed the silver ticket back, turned around and went back to the house: "You go!" There you go! My Wang Wu guards a broken dart game, and I can't climb up to you, the second emperor! When you fall to pieces, push it to the entrance of the vegetable market, I can still collect the body for you, I will help you out of the coffin, you don't need to give money! ”

Tan Sitong was holding the silver ticket, tears flashing in his eyes. How could he not know that Wang Wu stayed in the capital just to help his brother in an emergency? Now it's vicious, when it's really time to push yourself to the entrance of the vegetable market, it is still Wang Wu who comes to rob the law field!

But when it really came time for him and Xu Yifan to meet each other, how could Wang Wu deal with himself between the two brothers?

Creation makes people............ Wang Wu walked a few steps, turned around and looked at Tan Sitong who was staying there seriously: "Brother, the fifth brother only has one life." Which brother is in danger, I will help which, you and Brother Xu, are both people who are kind to this country, although I am a rough person, I also know. is still the same sentence, Brother Xu has soldiers and generals, and he doesn't need me, but you are different, brother! Maybe I'm not very useful, but when it comes to working hard, I'm not ambiguous! If Brother Xu comes north, I can still talk about it in the middle, Brother Xu has to sell me this face! ”

Fifth brother, I have never had a personal grudge with Brother Chuanqing............ Coming to this point, it can only be said that it is the trend of the times!

But at this time, what's the use of talking to Wang Wu about this?

Tan Sitong smiled, put the silver ticket back into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Cheng, let's not mention this, okay?" Fifth brother, today my brother will accompany you to drink two cups happily! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the end of the twenty-first year of Guangxu, the edict of law change was issued. One of the most brutal and gorgeous dramas of this era has begun on the East Asian continent. Everyone in the play is rushing towards the last unknowable result.
