I can't sleep, so I changed the morning chapter in advance, and there is another chapter in the evening.

In the west cross courtyard where Tan Sitong lives, there is a light like a bean. Inside the room sat several scholar-like figures. They were all barehead and did not wear hats, and some of them still looked shabby. At first glance, it is a cold man.
However, everyone's atmosphere was very warm, and some people played Tan Sitong's long sword. Some people flipped through his handscrolls, shaking their heads and reading Tan Sitong's poems. The tables were in disarray, and no one came to clean them up.
Tan Sitong's eyes were red, and he was playing a manuscript on the table. From time to time, I stopped writing and said a few words to those scholars.
"Brother Fusheng, as soon as you arrive in Yanjing, the wind and clouds will change color. My generation of scholars can only be ashamed of being a bookworm! β
"Brother Fusheng, you and Mr. Xu live next to each other, I heard that Mr. Xu is about to lead the saint? Mr. Xu will definitely be of great use. And as long as the resurrected brother is effective, you and Mr. Xu can live and die. It will inevitably be included, and the pen is from Rong, and it is the army of the Son of Heaven. β
"Brother Resurrection can show his ambitions! I'm stunned! β
"Mr. Xu doesn't know if there is a shortage under the scenes, can we be effective?"
Everyone was tongue-stricken, and they all looked envious and admiring. The Manchu officialdom has been in decline until now, and the eight forces have been gradually declining. With the turmoil of the empire after the Hongyang Rebellion, large and small wars continued. More literati have chosen to serve in the army, and even being promoted and guaranteed is a good name. In the eyes of readers, the glory of the champion Hanlin is already a bit of that. After the donation class opened, it was more difficult to fill the vacancy. It was several famous ministers back then, Zeng Wenzheng, Luo Luoshan, and Zuo Wenxiang. Scholars who kill people and make meritorious deeds are more worthy of envy!
Tan Sitong smiled reservedly and put down the pen: "There is no shadow yet!" This time, isn't it that the princes of the DPRK and China are upright, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is terrifying? The wind and clouds are turbulent, and the sky and the earth are changing color! The Holy Monarch cheers up and refreshes, and people with lofty ideals in our generation can't help but do their best to serve...... As for merit, I'm a layman, and I don't dare to think about it. β
Everyone was still talking about it, when they heard a voice at the door: "Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan is there?" β
Tan Sitong jumped up: "It's Mr. Xu!" β
The inside of the house was bombed at once, and several scholars scrambled to squeeze out the door. I want to see this strange man who once moved the minister in white and broke Hurd's words. Although it is said to be a donation, the book written by someone else, the person who reads the eight shares made it!
Tan Sitong also hurriedly lifted his robe and went out.
I saw Zhang Yu in the courtyard carrying a lantern, and Xu Yifan was standing behind him with a smile. Seeing Tan Sitong come out, he hugged his fists and saluted: "I heard that the fifth brother said that Mr. Tan was waiting at night, I don't know what is important?" β
Tan Sitong sighed, passed over the scholars who were looking at Xu Yifan blankly, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Xu, come into the room and talk." β
Xu Yifan glanced at the scholars, smiled and clenched his fists, and followed into the room.
The scholars below whispered: "Look at the demeanor of others! β
Seeing that he could enter the room, Xu Yifan sat down with a flick of his robe, and Tan Sitong introduced him with a smile: "Mr. Xu, these are some of my like-minded friends. Lin Rui from Hunan, Huang Guangsheng from Jiangxi, Liu Rong from Hubei...... It's all about admiring Mr., no, adults have been famous for a long time. β
Xu Yifan didn't bother to remember those public faces, but just showed his standard smile of six white teeth. Another salute. Those scholars also hurried to return the salute with sincere fear.
Tan Si has the same surname as Ge Sihai, and now there are many bus scholars in the city who are preparing for next year's Spring Festival test. He has friends all over the world, so he has a greater grasp......
Seeing Xu Yifan smiling and muttering there. Tan Sitong glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, do you know what I'm waiting for tonight?" β
Xu Yifan shook his head: "I don't know." "He really didn't know, he came to Tan Sitong at night, and it was also to have another embrace.
Tan Sitong smiled and raised the paper in his hand: "The student has asked Liu Fangbo to resign, and he is determined to serve Mr. under the curtain, support the Holy Monarch, and make a career!" β
Tan Sitong's eyes were deep, and Xu Yifan's eyes widened: "Read the bits and pieces of Mr. Reading, the Japanese people are only small and foreign, and they can all have people with lofty ideals to change the law and respect the emperor's strategy." It's thrilling to read! Prussia unified the German states, if it were not for the preaching of the scholars, how could there be a defeat and a break of the law, and the people's morale was boiling in Germany today? The rise of all countries is to advocate the people's morale, respect the monarch, and be supplemented by iron and blood. Reading the sages and looking for chapters and sentences, students really don't want to do it anymore! β
The words were loud, and several scholars in the room widened their eyes, their blood boiled, and they all clasped their fists and saluted: "The students are waiting to come today, and they are also to inquire about the service of the adults, please include them!" β
Xu Yifan's eyes were even bigger than theirs, he didn't expect that he would also have a little brother come to worship one day!
It's a pity that it's just a few ordinary moves, and it's not a famous person. I want to be famous all over the world, and I still have some words.
He stood up and hurriedly returned the salute, and said again and again: "Don't deserve, don't deserve ......"
Tan Sitong glanced at his friends, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of mind...... "I turned his head and explained to Xu Yifan: "These friends are all subordinates of the Jingshi faction, not those rotten and sour talents, Brother Lin Rui is still a master!" Now the road for scholars to enter the country is too narrow, and the occasional Chinese style is just to grind through the cold bench that is vacant. That's why the students didn't take any eight-share ......"
Xu Yifan stretched out his hand to stop his words, and when he sighed slightly, he was already full of worries about the country and the people.
Tan Sitong was stunned: "Sir, what's wrong?" β
For Xu Yifan, he didn't touch the door a little, this person said that he was a scholar. The wind festival is not pure, but it is extremely insightful. If you really pull down your face and don't include them, this face will be a bit big.
Xu Yifan smiled lightly and bitterly: "Brother Tan, Brother Tan, do you really think that your brother is taking a good path?" β
Xu Yifan stood with his hands in his hands, his expression indescribable.
"Brothers, these people avoid guests, and they have been thinking about it for a long time...... Can't you see this storm? Training the Praetorian Guard, the power of the saint, is the blood and sincerity of our scholars. If the emperor really takes power, he can slowly rejuvenate the current weak situation...... Isn't this what my brother is returning to? But can the Holy One really hold this power? Look at the princes and nobles who are running around the capital now, who are really thinking about the dynasty? Brother said something heart-wrenching. It's Brother Tan's teacher Weng Zhongtang, and his heart is also to deal with Li Zhongtang more! β
Tan Sitong's face suddenly turned red, but he couldn't speak. He is not a fool, how can he not understand his teacher's mind? He originally came to Beijing to make contact with the shogunate master Liu Jintang. By mistake, Xu Yifan also lived in the meeting. The erroneous old man Weng took a fancy to the benefits of the royal family in Xu Yifan's book. He also accidentally became the liaison between Xu Yifan and Old Man Weng.
What was originally a behind-the-scenes brewing conspiracy to reverse Li and not very mature has turned into a turmoil in the current turbulent dynasty. All of a sudden, it turned into a great act of rejuvenation!
In Tan Si's concentricity, the reversal of Li has become a very minor matter. The German depicted in Xu Yifan's book said that the two countries are in power, one rising in Europe and the other rising in Asia. On the contrary, it has become the beautiful prospect he is now striving for in his heart!
But when Xu Yifan mentioned it, Tan Sitong also had to admit it painfully.
This power, in the end, is still not in Guangxu's hands!
It must have been the prince and minister who ran under Lafayette's knees that became the minister of military training of the Praetorian Guard, and a place to decorate the faΓ§ade and spend money. It was more than 108,000 miles away from the bright prospects he had in mind.
As for Xu Yifan, who they want to serve, he is among the Praetorian Guards who are in power with Manchu relatives and nobles. It is really conceivable what role it can play.
The only result was that the position of the Queen Mother Lafayette was more stable, and Li Hongzhang left Beiyang and went to Liangjiang.
There was silence in the room.
Xu Yifan slowly took out a fold from his sleeve: "Tomorrow, my brother will be introduced to listen to the training." decided to risk death to present this excerpt to the imperial ...... Anyway, the future of the brother is nothing, just for the country. β
Tan Sitong took the fold from him, and several scholars also gathered around him, and looked at the lamp. Everyone gasped.
A few large characters on the fold are particularly shocking. "Respectfully ask the Holy Lord to take charge of the new training of the Praetorian Guard and stop the three seas to make up the salary"!
The relationship between Cixi and Guangxu is known to everyone. Guangxu could only exercise his rights within the limits demarcated by Cixi.
The emperor is in charge of the army himself, so what about the queen mother who has no soldiers?
The Three Seas Project is a place where Galeries Lafayette will live forever. For this Three Seas Project, how many officials have been taken. He is the heart of Galeries Lafayette.
The Three Seas Project was stopped, what was Cixi's reaction?
This excerpt is simply a fire yao bag!
Tan Sitong's hands trembled: "Sir, Brother Xu, Lord Xu...... This, this makes it impossible to ......"
Xu Yifan's eyes swept Tan Sitong like electricity: "What?" Brother Tan is scared? Brothers, don't be afraid! Westerners change the law, and the Orientals respect the monarchs, how can there not be a few bloodshed? Without the advocacy of scholars such as us, how could such a big country be revived? The current formation and training of the Praetorian Guard is exactly the intention of the imperial court to cheer up, and the world has heard of it. Even if the brother is martyred on this fold, it is nothing. At least it can make the world shake, and the rising ones also have a direction! β
He bowed deeply to Tan Sitong: "Brother Tan, I will leave this matter to you." β
After saluting, he got up, and he wanted to take back the fold from Tan Sitong's hand.
One shot, but no grab.
Tan Sitong pinched the small folded book and gritted his teeth. His face was flushed.
The air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment.
"The time is poor, and Bandang knows the loyal ministers......" Tan Sitong muttered. He gently pushed Xu Yifan's hand away and took the folded book back into his arms.
Xu Yifan looked at him blankly, and Tan Si smiled: "Brother Xu, although we started to have a little misunderstanding. But you are a friend of the fifth brother, that is, my brother...... I greatly admire Brother Xu's intelligence and insight. The country is missing Tan Sitong, but Mr. is indispensable...... I'll do it. I was originally a prisoner, and next year's big competition can be regarded as having the qualifications to lift the child. Books on this bus, since the students of the Eastern Han Dynasty, have been our duty as scholars...... Ming'er, I beat the drum and handed the fold to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. β
