Chapter 42: The Dust Settles
This small-scale bus book activity occurred in the eighteenth year of Guangxu. made everyone behind the turbulent undercurrent in the capital all shake for a while.
It turned out that the road was endless, and the characters running around the drill camp quieted down one after another. It turns out that the glorious imperial figures, as well as the big and small clear streams, are simply closed.
Everyone waited with bated breath for the thunder to erupt. Only those scholars who participated in the book still walked through the streets and alleys in high spirits, and sat high in restaurants and teahouses. There are always people who settle the accounts for them without saying a word, and then give a thumbs up when they pass by.
It's not that the people are ignorant of this world. I always feel that someone should have ruined the world and let people bully them. Everyone said that it was the emperor who did not take power to become like this. That's how it should be, right?
On December 26 of the 18th year of Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu rarely called for a great court meeting. The six Jiuqing who are preparing for the New Year are all called to make up. Guangxu angrily threw the fold of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the ground, and scolded who wanted to separate the filial piety between the emperor and the Queen Mother?
Everyone read a hint of embarrassment on the faces of the imperialist figures. Everyone knows that Tan Sitong, who picks the first book, is a student of Weng Tongyong! God knows how they hit themselves in the foot!
Guangxu decreed on the same day, Tan Sitong talked about the government in vain and abolished all fame. He was given to his father to take care of his studies, and he will never use it in the future. Participate in the scribbler's son and observe the severity of the plot. They were deported to their hometowns or suspended from taking one to three subjects.
Needless to say, who is the shadow behind the emperor's seizure. Anyway, everyone understands one thing, the imperial party slapped itself this time, but it was loud!
It turned out that the target of the imperial party's attack, the important minister Li Hongzhang, was the matter of transferring the two rivers from Beiyang, needless to say, no one mentioned it.
As for the Minister of Soldier Training of the Praetorian Guard, this originally hot bait is now avoided by everyone. However, the imperial court issued a reply to the governor of the world, and it was also published in the foreign newspaper, and the dignity of the local street discussion in Beijing had to be taken into account.
When Guangxu issued an edict, and presented it to Cixi in person. For the sake of prudence, it is the fundamental plan of the country. Before the Zhili Governor Yamen, a trial Praetorian Guard training office was set up. The Minister of Military Training is temporarily absent, and the only one who has no background can be used as a top cylinder, and Xu Yifan, a new special purpose platform that is acceptable to everyone, is temporarily appointed as a member of the Provincial Rank Deputy Committee of the Trial Training Department. The trial training office and grain station were also managed by the Governor of Zhili's Yamen Battalion Office.
Everyone knows that this is just a one-size-fits-all statement. This training office is located under the Beiyang Yamen. Can Li Hongzhang still let him get up and dig his corner? In a few days, the lights will probably go out by themselves.
Speaking of which, no one envies Xu Yifan, a newcomer, who has a special title so quickly, and such a messenger.
The platform of this cylinder was sent to Li Hongzhang for rectification. Who still looks at drooling?
The turmoil at the end of the eighteenth year of Guangxu seems to have settled now. No one can figure out who is benefiting from this?
The Great Qing Kingdom snorted for a while, and continued to fall asleep.
Only a sentence or two drifted between the streets and alleys.
"The emperor has his eyes open, why can't he distinguish the good ones from coming out?"
"I see, if we can't train our banner soldiers, it's going to be over!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Firecrackers crackled at the door of the Friends Bureau.
The guys were all happily huddled in a heap and watched. The newspapers who delivered the official newspaper waited at the door for the reward. As long as it is a member, everyone has a thumbs up. Let's meet friends, there is a special Taoist master who has an envoy! is also a brother who worships our fifth master!
Wang Wu also stood at the second gate, looking at the excitement at the door, and the sound of congratulations to the eldest master for his lack of good news came straight into the courtyard. He rubbed his hands together, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Two brothers, one sent home. What future is also broken, and a high promotion is happy. What is the difference between the points?
Also, Brother Xu's concubine has to be done, otherwise the second girl will follow him to Beiyang for no reason. Speaking out, he lost the reputation of the white family for 80 years.
He thought that Xu Yifan would personally come out and give the newspaper a reward. As a result, it was Xu Yifan's steward Zhang Yu who came out, holding a bunch of reward seals in his hand.
Wang Wu was surprised: "What about Mr. Xu? ”
Zhang Yu's expression was still faint, and he said to him: "Talk to Mr. Tan." ”
Wang Wu's heart sank, and he didn't know what to say, so he smiled reluctantly: "I'll accompany you to scatter the reward and seal it, so I'm half the master." ”
He was about to take a step when he saw Erdezi carrying his father out of the courtyard tremblingly. Wang Wu stopped again. We didn't see the old man dressed so brightly, and the clothes for worshipping the ancestors at the bottom of the box were all on. The big red tasseled hat is worn properly. When he saw Wang Wu, he greeted: "Fifth master, you are just right!" ”
Wang Wu hurriedly greeted him, and Zhang Yu smiled and went out to reward him.
"Second Senior Brother, why did you come out here? Braving the wind is no fun! ”
The old man coughed: "It's not for Erya's business...... Oh, I heard that Lord Xu gave Erya an official name, called Luo Shi or something? ”
Wang Wu helped him, and looked at Erdezi with a puffed up look. Cautiously asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Whether Er Ya is Mrs. Xian or Mrs. Xian, there must be a saying for this! We are also innocent people. I just want to find the fifth master to take us to worship the door......"
Wang Wu thought to himself, there is another one in his house! My brother is not from an innocent white family.
At this time, I can only pat my chest: "In me!" In me! ”
The bustle outside did not affect the quietness of Xu Yifan's room at all.
He and Tan Si sat opposite each other, and there was no one around them. Luo Shi and the cuckoo shrank into the wing room early and hid.
Seriously, they had never seen Xu Yifan's face so serious.
"Brother Tan, what do you see?"
Xu Yifan held the tea cup and looked at Tan Sitong with a smile.
After experiencing such a big thing, Tan Sitong seemed a lot calmer. But the back is still not slightly bent. Looking forward to it, he was still in good spirits.
"The Queen Mother is in power, which is not a blessing for the country! There is always a discerning person who will see the crux of the country...... Tan is just one step ahead! ”
Xu Yifan shook his head slightly, he had never regarded an old woman as an opponent.
When a woman is a woman, she can only use power, she can only use balance, and she can only use her innate scheming to control everything. Then she really has nothing to be afraid of. All Cixi wants is to maintain the status quo and keep her Lafayette rich and prosperous for a long time.
What is really the opponent is only the rigid state apparatus and the entangled contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans. The Qing court was already a behemoth with a strong outside and a strong middle, and the timing was right. It's not that you can't push it down. It's just that can this change of dynasty conform to the trend, can it be passed smoothly, and let the nation suffer a little less vitality?
This is where the big festival is, and it can't help but fight.
Even if you want to usurp, you must usurp it above board, and usurp it to the expectations of all.
At least on the face of it......
Tan Sitong didn't understand that not only Cixi was the representative of the ruling class that was destined to be abandoned, but also the holy monarch Guangxu he thought he thought!
These truths, let this aspiring good boy slowly explore.
He groaned and held his cup. Tan Sitong got up and saluted him: "Brother Xu, the student knows that you are a character who is interested in survival and intermittentness, and now that Brother Xu is above the temple, I hope that Brother Xu will do his best." As for Tan, he can only advocate for Brother Xu on the rivers and lakes! ”
This Tan Sitong, he really doesn't give up...... The surname determines fate, and there is no way.
He bowed his hand lightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." "It's not yet the point where the world is gathering to discuss clearly, so let's take it easy...... Reputation should match strength. If you go by yourself, it is the strength of management.
It's better not to make a big splash......
Seeing Xu Yifan's indispensable appearance, Tan Sitong just smiled faintly and arched his hand: "Gathering in the tenth month, Tan has benefited a lot." This fame moved the world, nothing more than the ...... given by Mr."
His face was shining, and finally he simply looked up to the sky and smiled: "Spit out everything in your heart, and your name will move in Jinghua." Fighting the sword out of the capital, how can fame and fortune be for me? Hurry! Hurry! ”
After saying that, he shook Xu Yifan to the ground, got up and went out like this.
Xu Yifan stood up and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold him. But he just looked at his back and clenched his hands into fists.
