Chapter 20: The Emperor's Chess Game

When Guangxu was far away, Ouyang Zhenhua, Zhou Qin, Cen Chunxuan and Tang Shaoyi all had their own ideas about the emperor's actions tonight.

Ouyang Zhenhua is a soldier, and it is also his original intention to train a strong army to rejuvenate China. The emperor is now clearly authorized, and he only needs to train the army: "Congratulations to Shaochuan, it can be said that I am the most favored person by the emperor." Now that I am by the emperor's side, I hope to give a few words to Duomei. ”

"Yes, yes, Shaochuan has the right to recommend. The emperor even made it clear that Shaochuan is a big Buddha, and the future of the release will be limitless. Zhou Qinyan said. About himself, in fact, he is also secretly happy in his heart. Having information is equivalent to the emperor's eyes and ears, and what he says and says is not as important as the emperor's place.

Tang Shaoyi arched his hand and headed towards the Forbidden City: "Don't laugh at it, adults, I'm a small official." It is already the emperor's grace to be valued by the emperor. I really don't dare to exaggerate in front of a few adults. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor's move is really meaningful." Cen Chunxuan was a little jealous, but he had also been a feudal official many times. However, the emperor also made it clear that 'those who violate military law will be punished regardless of their official position.' Although there is no clear official position, it can be regarded as a high authority: "Is it convenient to talk here?" ”

"It's convenient, the people outside are all people I have carefully selected, so we can talk with confidence." Zhou Qin is very relieved of these people, because these are all friends who have had a fateful relationship with the rivers and lakes in the past, and now they are on the emperor's errand, so they can't be careless in the selection of personnel.

"Military, intelligence, government, law. No matter how big the world is, there is nothing outside the country. The emperor has assigned us so much, and he has given us a back look. It's just that the emperor's stall is really big. I'm afraid a few others can't do it. ”

"The country is like this, and the emperor intends to revitalize. We should follow, and the world will be very fortunate if we succeed. If you don't make it, it's just a death. How many adults are scared? "Ouyang Zhenhua is the oldest among these people, but in terms of thinking, he is a fairly innocent soldier.

Cen Chunxuan didn't care about Ouyang Zhenhua's words: "Boss Ouyang's words are wrong. I'm not afraid. Now that the court is still in power, the queen mother is in power, and once the emperor acts like this, once the queen mother knows, I can't wait for death. I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will lose my grace. Shaochuan, where are you from there? ”

"It's the secretariat, I don't think it's similar to the master." Tang Shaoyi understands it like this.

"No, no, no, this secretary is different from the master. Now the ministers of the DPRK and China are all drawn by the Queen Mother, saying a very disrespectful word. The emperor has no weight in this court situation. I didn't hear the emperor say that 'if necessary, you can bypass the military aircraft department'. This is the emperor wants to engage in confrontation with the queen mother and engage in a small military aircraft department. The emperor is still too anxious. Shaochuan, you are the head of this small military aircraft department, and you have to persuade a few more words when you are always by the emperor's side. Cen Chunxuan deserves the title of "Official Slaughter", and can also serve as a feudal official many times, and he has a high political acumen.

"Thank you Lord Cen for reminding me, I really haven't understood the truth of this verse." Tang Shaoyi hugged his hands and said yes.

But Cen Chunxuan shook his head: "None of you are above the court, and some things are not clear. Recently, I have watched the emperor's recital in the court many times, and the emperor is a little alienated from the Qingliu faction. But I don't feel like it. There is always a feeling of imminent separation, as if I want to use it but dare not use it. I haven't figured it out yet. Shaochuan, you can get closer to Master Weng more here. Maybe it's useful. Besides, Master Weng is in charge of the household department, so it's good to get more money. ”

"Could it be that the emperor is guarding against the queen mother? Please also let Master Cen make it clear, and let me wait for some ideas. Ouyang Zhenhua didn't understand what it meant, so he could only ask.

"It's hard to say, but I'll tell you the truth in front of everyone. I don't think the emperor is guarding against the Qingliu because of the queen mother, it seems that the emperor is quite wary of these individuals. But I want them to do something. Why don't you have a deep meaning for the emperor? Cen Chunxuan touched his short beard in contemplation.

"Why is that?" Tang Shaoyi was a little puzzled. In the court, only these clear streams can help the emperor. Why are you wary of these people, if it is because the Queen Mother still said in the past: "Lord Cen, I heard that you have a good bus with Li Lianying in the palace, I don't know what news there is in the palace?" ”

"Nope. Since the previous time when the emperor rectified the inner palace, Gonggong Li has already received great benefits from the emperor. There hasn't been much movement lately. Cen Chunxuan shook his head, and saw Zhou Qin pouring himself a drink, looking calm: "It seems that Lord Zhou knows a thing or two, why don't you say it and let me wait for details." ”

Lord Cen lifted up. I don't understand the affairs of this court, I only need to do my best for the emperor and I don't need to understand the affairs of the court. But I know of something that you may not have noticed. ”

"Then Fang Liang doesn't talk about it in detail, do you still want to sell it to me?" Ouyang Zhenhua said it very directly.

"You are all subordinate officials, how dare you sell it." Zhou Qin lowered his head and raised his head: "There are two emperors. Do you know where another emperor is? ”

"Weng Tongyi is still in the household department, presumably An Liang is talking about Sun Jianai. Since he was dismissed by the emperor for persuading him not to lead the pro-army, I heard that he went to Shanghai in anger for a while. I don't know what I'm doing now. When Cen Chunxuan said this, he suddenly thought that this must have been done by the emperor. Thinking of this: "Fang Liang, what is the matter, don't sell Guan Zi again, tell me in detail at one time." Otherwise, you will be punished. ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor personally let Lord Cen be in charge of military law, don't fall into your hands. Listen carefully to me......"

After Zhou Qin finished speaking, everyone knew that in addition to these things about them, the emperor had also done some things they didn't know. Not long after Sun Jianai was dismissed, Li Hongzhang went to meet and talk for the night. After that, Sun Jianai visited the Qingliu courtiers in many places, and then these Qingliu who were visited by Sun Jianai confronted the emperor in the court for various reasons. Therefore, these Qingliu have been dismissed one after another. And these people all went to Shanghai one after another after being dismissed. In Shanghai, he set up a newspaper headed by Sun Jianai, called "Wu Shibao". Now that the newspaper has been in operation for more than three months, the newspaper has purchased its equipment from Hong Kong and is ready to officially open its doors.

After listening to it for a while, Cen Chunxuan still didn't get what he wanted: "I still know that these Qingliu have been dismissed, but what do these have to do with the emperor?" ”

"If it doesn't matter, it means that Sun Jianai still has a lot of popularity in the DPRK. If it were related. Hehe, the emperor's game of chess is really a bit big. Zhou Qin drank the wine in his glass.

"What is the basis?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

"Shaochuan, you forgot. The two of us went to Shanghai to buy guns for dinner in a restaurant, and when one of us asked why we chose the name "Wu Shibao", how did the other answer? ”

"The other guy was just making a gesture." Tang Shaoyi pointed his finger upwards and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be .........?" ”

"Shaochuan." Cen Chunxuan nervously took Tang Shaoyi's hand and said, "When you are in the secretariat, remember to remind the emperor from time to time." Now that the Queen Mother is powerful, she must not be confronted with it. We only need to wait for three or five years, and when we are full-fledged, then it will be a matter of course. Once the emperor and queen fight, these powers are afraid that they will not be happy. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Cen, Shaochuan can save it."

Ouyang Zhenhua interrupted Tang Shaoyi's words: "I'm afraid that Lord Cen is also wrong this time." The emperor mentioned to the old man many times that the new army should form combat effectiveness before the First Sino-Japanese War, not one dozen ten, but at least one dozen five. The old man is still worried about this. If you really want to do it, just rely on those Eight Banner disciples, and the old man hasn't paid attention to it. Why do you need to form three towns, one standard is enough. ”

"I think so." Zhou Qin nodded: "The emperor also mentioned the first year of the year with me many times. All preparations must be made before the first day of the first day. Although I don't know what the emperor is going to do, I am sure that the emperor will make a big move in the first year of the first year. ”

"We don't have to speculate here, since ancient times, how can we as courtiers figure out the mental tricks of emperors. The four of us only need to finish the errands assigned by the emperor one by one. Cen Chunxuan made a summary: "Don't talk about this, now the two schools are about to be completed, and it is rare to be idle today." Come on, come on, today you have to get drunk before resting. Cen Chunxuan laughed, so he said mysteriously: "Today, this wine and food is paid by the emperor." ”

"It's so self-indulgent. Hahaha...... "Everyone should arrive."
