Yuan Shikai was silent for a while before continuing: "Where is Zhang Xun now?" ”

Yang Shiqi saw that Yuan Shikai's face had converged at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so he didn't say more.

Yang Shiqi was not honored by Han Zheng's kid, and it was rare to say two good words to Han Zheng just now, which was the reason why Yang Shiqi admired Han Zheng more.

At this time, Yang Shiqi heard Yuan Shikai ask about Zhang Xun's whereabouts, so he replied: "According to the latest news from our people, Mr. Zhang Xun and Mr. Zhang are now on the train to Shandong, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the other party will send a message here. ”

"How so? It is estimated that he can't say a flower, he doesn't listen to the orders of his superiors, he acts without authorization, I didn't expect to get a young man, and he also has no family background, and the older he gets, the more useless he is! However, the other party has just made a great contribution for us in Nanjing, if we don't say a few words, it seems that we can't get by, so let's arrange for someone to send a telegram, give more exhortation, and then send some money, which can be regarded as a return to the old age. ”

Yuan Shikai's fluttering words have already arranged Zhang Xun's future, from now on, Zhang Xun doesn't want to enter the military and political circles, honestly, maybe there is a rich man to do.

Yuan Shikai, who was already a little dissatisfied with Zhang Xun, was always because of the strength in the other party's hands, although he was not in harmony with himself, but he had no way to deal with the other party directly, and it was not possible to use the method of dealing with politicians, but this time Han Zheng's shot could be regarded as understanding Yuan Shikai's heartache.

In this way, Yuan Shikai didn't have to send a single soldier, and the other party was ousted by that Han Zheng, and now it seems that Zhang Xun's troops are just paper tigers.

Yang Shiqi naturally heard what Yuan Shikai meant, and already knew Yuan Shikai's decision in his heart, and Zhang Xun was finished.

"The president has arranged a lot, why don't you explain it now? I just don't know if the president has time to meet with Zhang Xun, if not, then directly arrange for someone to notify Mr. Zhang, tell the other party what the president means, and let Mr. Zhang go directly to Shandong to recuperate, after all, the other party is old, and he has worked for the country for so long, so it is time to take a break. Yang Shiqi glanced at Yuan Shikai and spoke.

After Yuan Shikai heard it, he nodded, glanced at Yang Shiqi with satisfaction, and knew that the other party had understood what he meant, but Yuan Shikai didn't want to see Zhang Xun appear in Beijing, after all, if Zhang Xun was unwilling to make a big fuss, although it wouldn't be a big deal, but after all, it was a little disgusting, so he said: "There's no need to meet you, everything is busy now, and you don't have that time." ”

Yuan Shikai thought for a while, and then said: "As for that Han Zheng, he can be regarded as a pillar of the country, but he is too impulsive, after all, he is still young, and he directly uses violent means to drive out the older generation, which must fall into the eyes of others, and it will inevitably be hated by others, it seems that he still needs to be experienced, so let's do it, didn't Jianzhang want to go to the place some time ago, how about you let him take over Xuzhou?" “

Yang Shiqi was taken aback, secretly thinking that he was fortunate not to continue to say good things for Han Zheng just now, it seems that the president admires the young man on the surface, but he is also a little vigilant in his heart, otherwise he would not have made such an arrangement, but he doesn't know if he will get Lu Jianzhang over, will the Xuzhou area that has just settled down be full of wind and rain again.

Although Lu Jianzhang is not very famous in the Beiyang military system, he is a person under Yuan Shikai after all, and Yang Shiqi still knows something about the other party.

That Lu Jianzhang was ruthless, extremely greedy, merciless in killing, I don't know how many people's blood was stained on the other party's hands, originally served as the staff officer of the guard army of Yuan Shikai's presidential palace, the commander of the reserve army on the right side, and later changed to the commander of the guard army and the director of the Beijing Military and Political Law Enforcement Department.

During his tenure in office, he wantonly slaughtered revolutionaries, progressives and the masses, and was called "Lu Tubo".

But I don't know what to think this time, but it sounded down to the place, it seems that these people see that the president has a certain status, and they are thinking about seizing any opportunity to reap the benefits, I don't know how many people are looking forward to this big cake.

But isn't this "Uncle Lu Tu" afraid of offending Duan Qirui? If I don't remember correctly, that Han Zheng and Duan Qirui seem to have some contact, although I don't know how much it has to do with it, but it must have some relationship with Duan Qirui.

"The president's arrangement is good, but is Mr. Duan's side discussed?" Yang Shiqi thought about the stakeholders for a while, he didn't want to meddle in these struggles, he just reminded him simply, after all, now that Yuan Shikai has just become the official president, if there is discord among his subordinates, what will happen to these unruly subordinates.

Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi was suddenly startled, and cold sweat almost flowed out, but he thought of it at this time, the current Beiyang Army seems to be beginning to split, and President Yuan's generals look amiable on the surface, but secretly they are constantly wooing their cronies, and Han Zheng and Duan Qirui are a typical example!

If Yuan Shikai was there, the people below would only dare to make a small fuss, if Yuan Shikai went, wouldn't the entire Beiyang be over?!

Thinking of Yang Shiqi here, the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and at this time he finally understood the reason why those generals had been meeting with their officers all day long!

And President Yuan's body is not as good as day by day, although everyone has not said about this matter, but they all know it, especially in the recent period of being busy with various things, although the president is in a better mood, but his spirit is not as good as day by day.

Should I remind my benefactor? But does it work to bring it up? What will I do in the future, are you starting to find a backer?! He wanted to force himself not to think about these messy things, but he couldn't help but think about it over there, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't stop!

"What's the matter, your face is pale, why do you look weaker than me, it can't be sick, right?" After Yuan Shikai saw that the other party said a word, his face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help asking.

At this time, Yang Shiqi was still struggling, whether to tell Yuan Shikai his guess or not, after all, if this matter is not done well, something big will happen, and his net worth will even be lost.

But at this time, I suddenly heard the other party's concerned voice and gentle and encouraging eyes, suddenly gritted my teeth, and finally decided to say it, no matter how the president thinks of himself, but to have a clear conscience, it can be regarded as repaying the president's trust and affection for treating him like a friend.

"President, I, I want to say one thing, one very important thing!" At this time, Yang Shiqi, who had made up his mind, couldn't care so much, and said directly, but his throat was still a little dry and unbearable.

"Oh? Let's be polite, just say anything, it's not like you to hide it like this. Yuan Shikai glanced at the other party in surprise, and then said with a smile, at this time, how did he know that his henchman had turbulent waves in his mind, and the waves were turbulent.

Yang Shiqi obviously knew that there was no one else around listening to the conversation between the two, but he still unconsciously looked around to make sure that no one heard it at this time.

Yuan Shikai saw that the other party was so careful this time, and he also put away his jokes, his face became serious, knowing that what the other party might say was too important, so he was so careful.

Yang Shiqi just wanted to speak, but was blocked by Yuan Shikai and said, "Wait, how can I go back to my study and say, it's quiet there." ”

Yang Shiqi glanced at each other gratefully, nodded, and then the two laughed, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Yuan Shikai's study that Yuan Shikai ordered that no one should get close to the study for half a step, and the two went inside together.

After Yuan Shikai entered the study, he found a chair to sit on, and after the two were silent for a while, Yuan Shikai said: "Say, there is no one here, what is it that can make you scared like this?" ”

Yang Shiqi directly saluted Yuan Shikai, which was something that had not been done between the two for a long time, and then finally said in Yuan Shikai's complicated expression: "President, what I said today, I hope that the President can forgive me in advance, I am really afraid." “

"Oh? How does this say? Tell me what it is that can scare you like this, you say, if you say it wrong, I don't blame you, you should have never heard it, if you say it right, then you have to say it even more! Yuan Shikai squinted his eyes and said.

Yang Shiqi didn't dare to look at Yuan Shikai's expression at this time, and said: "President, my future in Beiyang is worrying, and there is a lot of fog!" ”

Yuan Shikai sat up suddenly, looked at Yang Shiqi with a gloomy face for a while, and finally said, "How do you say this?!" ”

Since Yang Shiqi had already made a start, he naturally couldn't stop at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "President, what I said is true, I only figured out this matter when I was talking to the president just now, and I didn't dare to hide it from the president." ”

Then Yang Shiqi also let go, and said all his guesses, especially the recent movements of those people and the small actions below, and even Yuan Shikai's speculation that there would be chaos in a hundred years did not dare to hide it, when he said this, Yang Shiqi was already sweating profusely, with fear in his eyes, and he didn't know what fate he was going to face.
