Chapter 51
Yanjing City, Yanqing County.
In the county, the largest household is Zhu Dahu, who specializes in mules, horses and camel markets. Camels and horses have to be roared back from outside the mouth or further west, plus they drive sheep and cattle along the way, and they go to the barren mountains and mountains along the way, sleeping in the open air, and carrying dozens of strong men to ensure that these cattle can come back. Who is not a character who can endure hardships and beat. In Citigroup, there is a term for such characters, which is called cowboy.
Since Zhu Dahu started with this kind of business, his arrogance in the county seat is amazing. Although he didn't donate an official or anything to fill the scene, nor did he take refuge in the church to make some benefits, but with the hundreds and ten outlaws raised at home under his hands, in Yanqing County, everywhere is sideways, whether it is an official gentry or a gangster who eats teaching, no one dares to look at him, when the business is the largest, the mule and horse market outside the mouth, Zhu Dahu fully accounts for nearly forty percent of the market!
Even such a rich and powerful family has to give in in to the incense sect that is now rising all over the mountains. The elder brother of the incense sect in the county town took a fancy to his large courtyard, which could open the incense altar and accommodate more parishioners, so he asked him to move the place when he pointed it out. Zhu Dahu had no choice but to pinch his nose, collect his burden, and run to Cullen to avoid the limelight. According to his words: "There are too many ants to bite the elephant to death, these religious people, there are many evil sects, and they are all crazy people who ask the gods to drink talisman water, and no matter how big the rivers and lakes are, there is no reason to oppose them!" ”
Before leaving, Zhu Dahu also left a sentence: "The rivers and lakes have been gone for so many years, relying on the number of people to dominate for a while, but if you don't lose things, you have to be restrained and practiced, if this incense sect all over the mountains can last for a long time, it will gouge out my eyes when the time comes!" The house is optimistic about Lao Tzu, and when he comes back, the floor tiles knock a corner, and Lao Tzu has to come to the door to ask for it! ”
Now Zhu Dahu's courtyard is the territory of Ma Liuye, the largest incense altar in the county, and Ma Liuye posted a hero post two days ago, summoning senior brothers from all over the four townships of Chengguan to gather here to discuss matters. The reason for this is that Venerable Yan has already spread the Dharma to all places, and the imperial court will soon be assigned to the twenty-two counties to which Yanjing City belongs to pick up troops! The stairs rang for a long time, and finally someone came down. The news that everyone eats imperial food and wears a top for so long has finally come down now, and the big guys are even more crazy.
This time I started to pick troops, and I paid great attention to it. Venerable Yan's meaning is very clear, if you, the senior brother, have three hundred strong men under his hands, you will be a battalion official, at least a bright blue top. If you have a thousand strong men under your hands, then congratulations, the lack of standard is to hold the handle. On the three thousand, your elder brother's ancestral grave emitted green smoke, from a country head with a sorghum flower child, to a red top worn on the top of the head!
Each according to his ability, each according to his strength, no matter how fair he is.
The Fa Ti also said that the major matter of picking up troops is now the second emperor in the imperial court, Tan Dajunji, with a group of officers who came over with Liu Kun at the beginning, to the incense altar, any old, weak, sick and disabled can be used to fill the number, and the girls can also be strong. This soldier is not a five-foot-tall man, he picks hard, suffers hard, and works hard with his hands and feet, and the second emperor may really look down on him. Senior brothers, you have to figure it out yourself, if something goes wrong in the middle, picking troops and picking up insufficient amounts, not only your own future will be hindered, but also the cause of the incense sect. When the time comes, don't blame Venerable Yan for another Dharma post coming down and expelling you from the altar!
It's a matter of drinking soup or eating meat in the future, how can the senior brothers who pick the heads everywhere not care. Ma Liuye is a disciple of Venerable Yan, the host of the first-class incense altar in Yanqing County, and the master of Yanqing County both eat at the same table, and call him a brother and a brother, how can he not put his mind on this. He stung the strength under his hands, in the incense jar, there were many coaxing, many old and weak, mixed pancakes and steamed buns, and the backbone was strong and strong, but it was only about two or three hundred, and his ambition was not just a battalion officer. Rumors from other counties have come over, and the senior brothers everywhere are now beginning to annex the small incense altars in the county, and the children of the Xiangjiao sect themselves are very choked with a few hard fires, how can he Ma Liuye pull behind others!
Early this morning, he commanded his subordinates to build sheds in the courtyard and prepare flowing water mats, regardless of the red and white cases in the county, all the masters were arrested, and early in the morning he took a few of his subordinates to stand at the gate of the courtyard to make a stone shape, waiting to greet the senior brothers of the incense altars in various parts of the four townships.
What made Ma Liuye happy was that most of the senior brothers in Sixiang really didn't miss the appointment, which gave him face. Since early in the morning, they have come one after another. It's no wonder that the news in the township is not as good as the county, how long has it been since he received the Fati? The big guy thinks that the sixth master of the city pass has made a post, which is to give everyone face, so why should he come to cheer for him. Besides, after so many days, the countryside is also bored, look at the excitement of the county! This is not the beginning of hanging a blanket, the earth head and the earth brain into the city to catch the market, see the Zhuang class supernumerary step archers have to nod their heads, now Lao Tzu is entering the county, in Zhu Dahu's house to eat feast!
Everyone came over, and Ma Liuye also swept away the arrogance on the top of his head, no matter how familiar he was, he held hands and greeted him. When I met the senior sister who practiced the red light, she also made a salute and joked: "Senior sister, you have a morning shift!" Knowing that the red light shines on the slightest bit of meat and can't pass the mouth, you have to fast for 30 days a month. The ready-made white noodles of Citigroup's sand and white flour, and the dumplings made of rock sugar, are not cold to offer to the Queen Mother! ”
The foreign Da Huang pocket watch in the waist hit ten o'clock, and the people almost came, and the courtyard was already full of people under the shed, and the subordinates who were responsible for greeting the guests were so busy that they didn't seem to be on the ground, and the cigarette and tea were sent up at a low price, and the dim sum tea was opened, and boxes and boxes were opened. It's all southern goods bought from the capital, and it's not easy to see it at a glance in the past, but now it's like no money!
Ma Liuye closed the pocket watch and counted with his fingers. Why didn't Xiao Gezhuang's Ge Erdan come? This guy, when he held a sign to make trouble in the county yamen, he carried him very much, and this time he sent the letter to the past, and his jar was also in front, I really hope that he can be used as half a confidant this time. And Xiao Gezhuang is also a big Zhuangzi, and there are also those who practice Shaolin Club, and they also expect that they can help a hundred and ten men come out. Why does this kid wipe his mouth after eating the table, the shelf is so big, and it hasn't arrived yet?
Ma Liuye suspiciously beckoned a subordinate to ask, but the subordinate couldn't understand, and went to ask the senior brother of the incense altar near Xiaogezhuang, and turned around to report to Ma Liuye: "Master, the second egg is dead!" What is the name of the senior brother from Kangzhuang, Liu Da nephew, also said that it was passed down by Venerable Yan himself, and he went to the door, and Ge Qitai, the head of the Shaolin Association of Xiaogezhuang, joined the sect, and hung the second egg on the flagpole! Now Xiao Ge Zhuang has the surname of the outer road! ”
Ma Liuye's heart tightened, and he waved his hand: "What the fuck, the mud can't hold up the wall!" Don't wait for that [***] Senior Brother Liu, outsiders don't have the same heart as us! Without that dog meat, we're all at the same time! ”
Before the words fell, I heard the county yazhuang class in charge of knowing the guests at the mouth of the alley loudly: "Senior Brother Liu of Xiaogezhuang, Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Ge has arrived!" "These strong classes stand in the hall to practice their voices, and when they are transmitted, they are so thick and bright that they shake people's hearts.
Say Cao Ying, Cao Ying has arrived. Ma Liuye's heart was full of reactions, and at this time he had to stand still, and he smiled, and saw three people coming from the mouth of the alley, the first one was wearing a Taoist robe, and there was a hexagram like a dry character on the robe, and he swayed three times when he walked, and at a glance, he knew that he was pretending to be a ghost, and he couldn't say that it was that Senior Brother Liu. But how to look at this Liu Da nephew who just won Xiaogezhuang, there is always a sad look on his eyebrows. Behind him, on the left is a short and fat man, with a round face and short legs, and his facial features are a bit like a woman, and his appearance is not amazing. One was tall and strong, sturdy and strong, and seemed to knock on the ground when he walked. Whoever looks at it has to exclaim in their hearts: "What a Yan Zhao man!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Ma Liu was already smiling all over his face, lowered his steps, and hugged his fists towards the three of them: "This is Senior Brother Liu?" They are all descended from Venerable Yan, and our brothers are less close! When you come to Yanqing, why don't you look for me first? Let's say, admit the fight or admit the punishment! admit it, I'll punch you and it's over. Admit the penalty, Zhuozhou South Road Shochu, don't clear a customs, don't think about going through the door! ”
These three people are naturally Liu Dazi, Yuan Shikai and Ge Qitai. Liu Dazi can ignore it, Yuan Shikai is here, but he has made some careful arrangements. Once launched, like a dragon flying in the sky, the entire North China will be turned upside down! And he, Yuan Shikai, is now in a favorable position, this opportunity is his life, if he doesn't make a career, how can he be worthy of his ambition?
The boy is worth this, and he is doing his best to live up to his life. As for this stinky skin, what can it be?
Ge Qitai is a right-hand man he has wooed, and he Yuan Shikai really didn't expect that there was such a character hidden in Xiaogezhuang!
The surname is upright, so it is good to fight unevenly, and the incense altar is also to protect the place of Xiaogezhuang from being ruined too much by Ge Erdan. The most amazing thing is that Ge Qitai and Xu Yifan have a bit of a blood relationship! One of his two younger brothers died in front of the defense line of the Suchuan Army, and maybe he fell by Xu Yifan's side. There is another one, now he is the first standard of the first town of the Janissary ace main force as an errand boy, and when he comes back from the letter, he has been selected to live in the sergeant teaching team, according to the current speed of the Praetorian Guard's enrichment and expansion, living and learning out, a sentry officer can't run.
According to Ge Qitai's words, he didn't use his eyelids to burn those incense! Help Qing to destroy Xu, who can they support, and who can they destroy? If you have the ability, you will work hard, don't eat so many oil cakes from the common people! At the beginning, who didn't pick up his thumb and praised Xu Dashuai as a hero and a good man, now he burns incense and drinks Fu Shui, like a crazy trouble, Xu Dashuai has become the big devil of the Qing Dynasty again, this kind of incense sect that has no distinction and no heart, if it can be done, when Guangxu was eight years old, it would not be a mess of scattered sand!
More truths, Ge Qitai and other straight men can't say it, they just feel that the Xiangjiao takes advantage of the injustice of the people of Zhili being bullied by the people of Zhili to make people's hearts like this, which is not good news. If this continues, when this popular sentiment finally gets out of control, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be the end of a river of blood! He Ge Qitai only has one head and two fists, and there are more than a dozen good brothers of the Shaolin Society, which can be protected, that is, the world of Xiaogezhuang. No matter how much he wants, he can't do it.
What a character Yuan Shikai is, he is extremely proficient in grasping people's hearts. The hearts of straight men like Ge Qitai lead from the entrance to the exit. When Ge Qitai came to the door, Yuan Shikai slightly revealed a little news. It was Xu Dashuai who sent them here, trying to do their best to keep the people of Zhili safe through this Ding Revolution when the northern land was about to be in turmoil!
The person who is about to perish wants to grasp a straw floating by him with all his heart. Yuan Shikai said a few words, and he told the inside story of the Praetorian Guards decently. Looking at the men around Yuan Shikai who are full of fierce atmosphere, they also expressed enough closeness to Ge Qitai, a military family. All this is enough for Yan Zhao Haojie like Ge Qitai. The blood surged, and at that moment Ge Qitai said that they would be in Shaolin in Xiaogezhuang and listen to the dispatch of Lord Xiang from the Praetorian Guard! In the water and fire, the brows are not wrinkled. When Yuan Shikai received the post sent by Ma Liu, Yuan Shikai felt that time was pressed and wanted to make a shop, Ge Qitai handed over all his confidants and good brothers and asked Yuan Shikai to assign the arrangement.
Ma Liu descended to greet him, and Liu Dazi just responded with a strong spirit: "It's all the lifeless old mother who sits down, Senior Brother Ma's words are too polite!" With your order, can we come over to get the wine and food? A word is here today, Senior Brother Ma has orders, we can only clap in approval! ”
In a word, when Ma Liuye's heart was in his heart, his eyes suddenly bent down unconsciously, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together. Rubbing my hands, I don't know what to say. He has made up his mind today, this is the Hongmen Banquet! The senior brothers and sisters who came, if they didn't nod their heads and agreed to his order to join the altar, no one would want to get out of this door, anyway, they were going to enter Yanjing City and wear red tops, who cared about the villagers? When you close your eyes and bite your teeth, you can't do anything. Now don't look at the lively greetings inside, there are a hundred and ten strong stick henchmen hidden in the house, iron rulers, sticks and knives are all available in their waists, and there are also independent muskets and four-petal firebird guns in the hands of several leaders. Once it's wrong, hema six is determined to kill a few people to stand up!
Liu Dazi knows so much, a little less trouble is a little trouble, and in the future, he will become a new army, but he doesn't care about taking care of this big brother from outside! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ge Qitai, what a big man, when the time comes, he will hold the banner and wave it in front of Tan Dajunji, who is picking up troops, what a majesty and what a face!
At this time, Ma Liu just turned his mind around, and didn't care that Liu Dazi secretly glanced at the round-faced Humpty Dumpty man behind him, which means that I didn't deal with it very wrong, right? Yuan Shikai just remained silent, smiled slightly, and stood behind him humbly, looking motionless.
Hi............ It can't be any better! I was also unlucky, why did my eyes be blinded by the black god, and I had to come to the feet of this Son of Heaven?
Ge Qitai also glanced at Yuan Shikai from time to time, his big hand clenched into a fist, and secretly wiped it on the edge of his pants from time to time. I can't wait to tear the stuffy and hot placket open.
"Please come inside! Let's talk inside! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer Palace, Yulan Hall.
The weather outside was still dry and cold, Guangxu's body was weak, and the earth dragon in Yulan Hall was still burning hot. Tan Sitong sat here and waited, the eunuch had the eyesight, and knew that the second emperor was now red, so he hurriedly asked him to raise the crown and then took a clip of court clothes to come over and change it, and also set up a brocade stool. Rao is like this, Tan Sitong is still waiting for a face full of sweat, etiquette is important, and he doesn't dare to wipe it.
One of the most important changes in the law was the reform of the bureaucratic system, and after dozens of days of painstaking revisions and sorting, I finally took out the fold and handed it over. Guangxu also knows that this matter is related to the success or failure of the current law change, what policy, in the final analysis, the most basic thing is personnel, and only those who win people can the policy be promulgated. This is to bring in a group of their own people and promise them the benefits they can obtain in this reform of the law, and only when the interests are the same, it is possible to carry out the policy of changing the law!
The excerpt was solemnly handed over by them, but it took only one night to work, and Guangxu passed on to him early in the morning to see Tan Sitong. It is conceivable that Guangxu didn't sleep all night last night for his Tan Sitong's excerpt!
The Holy Monarch is heavy, and it is indeed difficult to repay the powder.
But when he came in a hurry, he got the message and asked him to wait here, Lafayette just got up, the emperor didn't dare to disturb Lafayette's head last night, and he wanted to report this big event early today, which is also reasonable, how can such a big event bypass Cixi?
However, Tan Sitong was very confident and asked Cixi to nod on this most fundamental official personnel reform. Xu Yifan's threat there is the biggest help, he has already met with the British in Shanghai, and he is also the prime minister's special envoy. Although the British minister He Bo returned to Yanjing, no matter how he tried to probe him, He Bo did not say a word. For the current situation of the Qing court, even if the great powers remained neutral, their prospects were greatly unfavorable!
The situation is so urgent, the center of the Qing Dynasty is like the bottom of the kettle for the rest of its life, only trust him Tan Sitong, come to survive in death!
Besides, Tan Sitong has spent so much effort on this official personnel reform, and he has done enough balance and tolerance, which is also the experience he learned from Xu Yifan. In order to do something, sometimes you have to do things that are not happy.
The new style of the yamen will be set up, the original military aircraft department will be changed to the prime minister's yamen, the six ministries in the Qing system, there is no doubt that the prime minister's yamen has jurisdiction, and the original power center of the prime minister's national affairs yamen will also be changed to the foreign ministry and subordinate to the new prime minister's yamen. The rest, such as the Zhan Shifu and so on, are completely idle and waste-raising yamen, and they are abolished in one piece. This undoubtedly touched many people's jobs, but he Tan Sitong did not do anything wrong, and the officials who were laid off were all stuffed into the newly established temporary dispatch yamen, and the original salary was temporarily raised - although the salary remained the same, but the yamen was abolished, and I don't know how much the cost of affairs was saved! Those scriveners who are intertwined in various yamen, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, will naturally want him to die together, but he doesn't care, the scholar doctor can finally be perfunctory.
As for other undertakings that are closely related to the New Deal, such as education, the election system, career persuasion, policing, transportation, and postal communication............ When he was in Shanghai to guide the country, he thought that once he was in power, these were things that must be done. But now he doesn't mention it. It's just that all the yamen of the central center of the Qing Dynasty and the administrative ability are concentrated in the hands of the new prime minister's yamen, and they concentrate on handling the matter of raising salaries and training troops! Only when the fundamentals are stable can we talk about other policies for further reform!
He didn't touch these things in the clear stream. These people have big mouths, so it's better to raise them first to save trouble.
Regarding the issue of the central flag officers in the Qing Dynasty, he also repeatedly discussed it with several Manchurian military planes in the Military Aircraft Department, and the method he came up with was finally reasonable. Each yamen no longer sticks to the old practice of full staffing, and each yamen is equipped with a team for each Manchu and Han, and it is needless to say that the salary is extravagant, but the two officials of the Manchu and Han halls are fighting each other, so I don't know how many things to mistake! Now his attitude is to control everything through the new prime minister's yamen, create a situation with minimal interference, and concentrate on at least getting through the immediate difficulties first!
If the full staff loses the mission, but all those above the fifth rank will be sent to the newly established national clan to be temporarily sent to the yamen to be raised, at least the treatment will not be less than theirs.
The flag man's salary system is actually a personnel system. Tan Sitong is very smart to bypass this for the time being, and if he really wants to cut on this, he Tan Sitong really doesn't know where he died, let alone make a career!
He calculated that the income that the imperial court can control now will be enough to meet the expenses of the imperial court's operation and the salary that has been deducted. In the great cause of military training, he had no choice but to cooperate with Han Lao's shopkeeper.
If the soldiers are trained, his position in the north will be unshakable, and when the time comes, he will take this military power and completely refresh the government!
This is his roadmap, and it is also the goal he will finally strive to achieve!
Kang Youwei and his gang shouted in his ear, and he was very dissatisfied with his personnel and bureaucratic reform plan that was evasive and compromised, since he wanted to take over the control, why didn't he do it from the beginning! Now with Xu Yifan's east wind, it is a great opportunity for them to act recklessly, once they miss it, they don't know when they will come again!
Tan Sitong replied with a cold face at the time: "What does it mean to be in control?" Even if you want me to concentrate power, why do you oppose my decision? ”
At that time, Kang Youwei just brushed his sleeves and left.
He didn't do anything wrong, he just ............ It's so tiring.
Xu Yifan knows that he is struggling here now, and he is not necessarily pleasing in both aspects, will he laugh at him for being an idiot?
In a trance, Tan Sitong, who had already thought too deeply, just smiled faintly and bitterly.
Behind him, the eunuch's urgent reminder voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Tan, the emperor is back!" Lord Wen followed, the emperor's face is good, Lord Wen's face is a little ugly, you should pay more attention! ”
Tan Sitong reacted, looked back and smiled at the eunuch gratefully, and quickly stood up with his head bowed and his shoulders down. As soon as Guangxu's emaciated figure bowed slightly appeared at the door of the hall, Tan Sitong had already bowed loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Guangxu sighed, hurriedly stepped forward, and grabbed Tan Sitong with his cold hand: "What etiquette is it!" Gentlemen and ministers take pictures of each other, not on this top, how many times have I said it! Get up and talk, sit down, don't just sit on half of your ass............ Dao Xi is also here, and I called in early in the morning, just to tell the two of you a good news, resurrection, this fold of yours, Lafayette also nodded! He also said that you worked hard to support this situation, which is not easy, and the method you came up with is thoughtful...... If it's full of people making trouble here, Galeries Lafayette will support you. ”
Tan Sitong got up and was helped by Guangxu to sit down, but he just looked at Guangxu's face. Winter has almost passed, there is already an early spring scene floating in the capital, Guangxu is still wearing thick clothes, although the words are all festive words, but his face also looks happy, but behind this face, it seems that there is always a bit of forced laughter. It also seems a little preoccupied.
Behind him was Wen Tingshi, another leader of Qingliu. If he Tan Sitong is the confidant of Emperor Guangxu who has to rely on him in an emergency, then Wen Daoxi is really the closest person in Guangxu's sleeve. Both of them were taught by Weng Tongyi, and they are considered senior brothers, and their surnames are the most similar. Although Wen Tingshi has never fought with him for power since Tan Sitong entered Beijing, and he is still a bachelor of Hanlin, it is rare that Guangxu will not summon him to the Summer Palace to discuss matters one day. The intimacy is far more than his Tan Sitong! Wen Tingshi's relationship with him Tan Sitong is also faint, and he is very close to Kang Youwei.
Wen Tingshi stood behind Guangxu, not wearing a big hat or court clothes, just a suit, and holding a fan, which was really a bit suave. Although he nodded and smiled at Tan Sitong, his face was a little ugly.
Tan Sitong was sincere and right-minded, and gave a salute to Guangxu: "This is the great joy of the country, this pilgrimage is blessed by the saints, and it is not the power of the subordinates alone!" Since the emperor and Lafayette felt that there was nothing wrong, could the emperor use the treasure, and the subordinates immediately began to implement the matter? ”
Guangxu and Wen Tingshi glanced at each other, Guangxu coughed, and walked up with his hands behind his back. Wen Tingshi played with the fan: "............ I have a thought about resurrection............ Now Xu Yifan is placed in the south, aggressive. There are so many princes and ministers in the court, and in the end, it is not us scholars who have read the book thoroughly? Since you go up to Lafayette and go down to the nurturing soldiers in the Yanjing City National Courtyard, you know that it will not work if you don't change, why don't you take over the control to the end, completely pull up all the people in my generation and fill the court? Righteous people, what else can not be done? ”
He smiled faintly and paced a few steps: "...... Resurrection, anyway, my brother is not asking for anything for himself, Master Hanlin, this title is very suitable for brothers, anyway, I am used to being lazy............ But there are always two words. On your fold, Yixuan and other generations are still full of important places such as the new prime minister's yamen, leading one prime minister and four assistant prime ministers, who else is there besides your resurrection? Kang Nanhai is such a talent, why is he a waiter of the foreign affairs yamen? My generation of colleagues, for the revival of the refresh and improvement of the cause of advocacy, spare no effort, and now is still in the Yushitai, Kedao and other places, such a great cause, even can't help! Not to mention the abolition of Zhan Shifu and other places, more layoffs are people of my generation who are struggling with their qualifications! ”
Tan Sitong remained silent, just stood there, quietly listening to Wen Ting's smug talk.
“………… What is the current situation? You Tan Fusheng plays a quasi-one, and the Queen Mother Lafayette can only count on you to refresh and succeed in changing the law! I'll just let it go here about personnel matters, and it's up to you whether I listen or not............ Brother can also see that you want to focus your energy on raising money and training troops. But south of the river, the land of ointment is no longer in the hands of the imperial court, and you still have so many tails left in the reform of the official system and yamen, where is there still money to raise soldiers! Even if there is a donation to repay the effect, you have a way to resurrect and regenerate wealth, this soldier is short of pay and equipment, when will you be the leader in training? Xu Yifan won't give us so much time!
………… The brother is not in his position, and the charter he came up with is naturally not accurate, but he just said it for the resurrected brother to boo............ Why don't you pay for this matter and kill the killer painfully? Anyway, more than 20 million flag salaries were collected and distributed to the children of the country, which was already seventy or eight deductions, not to mention that after Xu Yifan stole the two rivers, he stopped the rice, and the old rice every month could not be sent. The princes and ministers and other generations, who know little about things, understand that even if the flag salary is stopped, it is for the sake of the good of the Qing Dynasty, so they simply go all out, even stop the flag salary, and drive these princes and ministers who are full of confusion in the dynasty down, and quickly train the troops, except for Xu Yifan's troubles, there is a good life for everyone! ”
Speaking of which, his impassioned tirade was not over until here, the fan was closed, and he knocked it on the palm of his hand, just looking at Tan Sitong with blazing eyes.
Tan Sitong turned his head to look at Guangxu, who was holding the bookcase on the top, and also looked at him eagerly. Watching him look at him, he coughed and turned his face away.
This is the meaning of Wen Daoxi, this is the meaning of the imperial party, and this is also the meaning of the emperor.
Tan Sitong's hands and feet were cold, and he just smiled bitterly in his heart. Wen Daoxi's words, one layer of meaning is party struggle. Taking advantage of the current post-party avoidance, seize this opportunity to promote all the members of the imperial party who were suppressed at the beginning!
On another level, it was the emperor's old mistake that was committed again, and Wen Daoxi just did what he liked. The emperor can't wait to see a new army trained immediately, and immediately beat Xu Yifan to the ground, even if he temporarily stops for a while! This Forbidden City is still stable in this country, and he Emperor Guangxu is the Holy Lord of Zhongxing, and he really takes this opportunity to hold power, and he really raises his eyebrows from now on!
It's so tiring to support it alone............ But the path is your own choice, so there is no need to complain.
China is such a big and weak country, and this central authority cannot be lost. The great powers are surrounded by enemies, and once the center collapses, it will be impossible to clean it up! Xu Yifan is outside, he may have enough ability to defeat the center, but does he have the ability to make the world return to the heart?
In any case, his beliefs will not change. No matter how tired you are, even if the final result is broken bones! What is the matter with reading the books of the sages? It is nothing more than to stick to the belief in your heart and walk straight.
He didn't bother to explain to Wen Ting, now that the center of the Qing Dynasty was extremely weak, he could no longer withstand internal strife. can no longer withstand the fluctuations of the killer of the Eight Banners system. To achieve a career, it is necessary to reconcile the period, and it is necessary to create a generally stable environment.
Well, since I say that someone is in charge, then I will take care of it to the end............ He didn't look at Guangxu anymore, but just said coldly at Wen Tingshi: "Daoxi, is it you or me who is the leader who improves and refreshes affairs?" ”
Wen Tingshi was stunned, and replied coldly: "It's you!" ”
"The emperor and Lafayette's excerpt, is it mine or yours?"
"It's you, too!"
"Then what else is there to say! Dawhi, I'm busy and tired. Things are done, not spoken. I have to take care of a lot of things, and since this excerpt Emperor and Lafayette Shengming have been approved, the minister has to do something............ When Daoxi takes my position, let you spread it to your heart's content! ”
Tan Sitong finished speaking categorically to Wen Tingshi, and his face quickly turned blue when he saw him. Tan Sitong turned to Guangxu and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the emperor asks the emperor to use treasures for the minister's excerpts, and the military aircraft led by the minister will immediately be made clear to the world, so as to improve and refresh according to the determination of the Holy Lord." The minister's decision has been decided, there will be no more additions and deletions to this, and there will never be any easier way to act, please ask the Holy Lord to grant the minister's sincerity, and see how the minister does things! The minister's heart can be said to be the moon! ”
Guangxu squeezed the bookcase tightly, and the back of his hand was covered with green tendons, and finally just smiled: "Okay......... I use the treasure to resurrect and live up to my hopes. ”
At the gate of Yulan Hall, Guangxu personally lowered the steps to send Tan Sitong away. Wen Ting-style bent down and stood behind Guangxu, looking blankly at Tan Sitong's distant back. Neither of them spoke, and the surrounding eunuchs quietly took a few steps away from the two masters.
"It's another Cao Ying!"
Wen Ting's words broke the embarrassing silence. Guangxu sneered: "Lafayette is very optimistic about him!" said that Tan Fusheng unexpectedly made her so knowledgeable. Saying that I promoted him to this position was the best thing I could do! Now that he is in prison, the soldiers will soon be arrested. What else can I say I can't do? can only hope that he Tan Fusheng is a pure minister! ………… Both of them are amazing! That's a clever tactic! ”
Wen Tingshi smiled coldly: "............ The subordinates also know some of the inside information of Tan Fusheng's arrest............ There are twists and turns here, Kang Nanhai knows everything, the emperor can rest assured, and the minister will go to Kang Nanhai............ This soldier is also the emperor's when he is trained! It's not that the minister is jealous of resurrection, but he holds too much authority, and it's not good for resurrection............"
Guangxu nodded slightly, as if he heard it, but also as if he didn't hear it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in Tan Sitong's study, Kang Youwei was holding a book he didn't know what it was, looking at it absentmindedly.
Since He Bo left Yanjing City to meet Xu Yifan, Haikou boasted that he had lost face in the capital. Rao is thick-skinned, and he is a little bored in the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen.
Now that the rumors have come out, Tan Sitong is holding on to the reform of the official system, and the position left for him is still the foreign affairs yamen of the prime minister's national affairs yamen, and he has not been able to sit on an equal footing with the military aircraft department, and has become a subordinate yamen, how can this tone be leveled!
Not to mention the changes in the bureaucratic structure and personnel changes in this rumor, leaving too many old people in positions, which disappointed people like his generation, Tan Fusheng is so stable, how can they have room to get ahead!
These days, he soaked in Tan Sitong's place, and he was going to talk to Tan Sitong about military training when he was free. He can't take care of him, and he has to come out to take power, so he is on the training level. This matter was originally his beginning and end, and the old shopkeeper Han was also what he insisted on contacting at the beginning, Tan Sitong had to give him this opportunity!
He was a little distracted today, and he was also a little nervous when Wen Tingshi came to him yesterday. Wen Tingshi patted his chest, he will go to the emperor and put some eye medicine on Tan Fusheng's fold, everyone has been fighting with the Hou Party for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, just he is a Tan heir and gets ahead. He is waiting here, and he also wants to know for the first time whether the emperor has modified this important excerpt and whether it is a treasure. As long as there is a slight twist, there is room for strength.
Second, Tan Sitong is also busy, and there is no accurate word about the position of the minister of military training that he wants. If he doesn't smash porcelain for a day, he won't be steady!
I was waiting for the five hearts to be irritable and the tea was drunk. From the outer courtyard to the inside, I don't know how many stacks of footsteps sounded, and I don't know how many people rushed to the study. He just jumped up from the chair, and saw Tan Sitong open the curtain and enter, saw him here, and nodded to say hello.
"Resurrection, there's nothing wrong with the excerpt! Did the emperor use the treasure? ”
This sentence rushed out of Kang Youwei's mouth, and he felt a little embarrassed when he said it, which is too enthusiastic, isn't it............ Tan Sitong didn't answer, turned around and ordered outside the curtain: "Don't follow me, go to the Nanyuan camp and wait for me!" I will change my clothes, first go to the military plane, arrange the things that will be clearly issued, and then go to the camp to arrange with you the matter of selecting the new army, and within ten days, we will move! ”
Outside, there was a loud and chaotic voice. Kang Youwei looked at Tan Sitong's side and saw that it was all a group of officers wearing five-cloud coats, all of which were left by Liu Kunyi to Tan Sitong. It is also the foundation of his preparation and training of the new army!
At this time, Tan Sitong turned his head to Kang Youwei and said: "Nanhai, you are just right, let me tell you, the emperor and Lafayette are all approved, and they have also used the treasure." You can do it right away............ Fortunately, nothing has changed! ”
Kang Youwei sighed. Wen Daoxi didn't make any effort? By the emperor's side, he is actually more talkative than Tan Sitong............ He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. In the end, I don't think much about it, even if I get a position in the new prime minister's yamen, it is just a good face, and I really talk about power, and I am still training troops! This fold is accurate, Tan Sitong should really do the training of the troops. He's just greedy, and he's just trying to do both.
He bowed his hand to the sky and sighed: "The emperor is sage!" Galeries Lafayette! Playing a quasi-one, it is the ZTE weather! Resurrection, I will change my clothes, and I will wait for you outside the Longzong Gate, what is going on over there, let's go to the Nanyuan camp together............"
Tan Sitong turned his head, looked at him quietly, and slowly shook his head: "Nanhai, you don't have to go............ I'll come alone for the training of the troops, and I don't expect anyone to help............ This is something that is taboo by everyone, no matter whether it is merit or demerit, even if it ends up being broken bones, I will bear it alone............"
Kang Youwei was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe that what he had just heard was this, and then an uncontrollable fury rolled up his chest, you Tan Fusheng, you are actually this kind of person! He spoke slowly, and his tone turned out to be calm that he didn't expect, in fact, behind this calmness, he knew that he could smash Tan Sitong's study at any time!
“………… Resurrection, old man Han, only recognize me Kang Nanhai, not you Tan Fusheng, I know you want to become a Zhongxing career, do you have to step on me Kang Nanhai for this? I'm not going to compete with you for this position! ”
Tan Sitong looked at Kang Youwei with an incredible gaze, and the general in the courtyard was silent.
“………… Nanhai, do you really think that Old Man Han only recognizes you? He has been in the Nanyuan camp for a few days now, and the silver is constantly being transported to the camp............ As for why I took care of all this, I don't have the strength to say it now............ It doesn't matter if you can understand my heart or not............ If I succeed, I will kowtow to you at that time............ Nanhai, you're too enthusiastic! Now I want a lonely minister! ”
He arched his hand, leaving the stunned Kang Youwei and leaving. More than a dozen generals followed, leaving only Kang Youwei there, his face was as dead as ashes.
Tan Sitong walked for I don't know how long, Kang Youwei smiled coldly, snorted heavily at the sky, and strode away. Walking outside Tan Sitong's mansion, his coachman was already waiting impatiently there, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master, go home?" ”
Kang Youwei shook his head: "Go to Lord Wen's Mansion!" ”
