Wang Chenhao's convoy entered from Yongding Gate, went out from Desheng Gate, smashed the city gate controlled by Yuan Shikai and Rong Lu all the way, and injured more than 100 soldiers guarding the gate on both sides with a strong posture of force, swaggered away from Yanjing City, and went straight to the Summer Palace.

With such a huge convoy entering Beijing, the movement is naturally insignificant. In addition to the city gate incident, Wang Chenhao set up most of his guard battalion directly in the inner city and stationed in Wang Chenhao's official residence. The guard battalion stationed in the official residence on the pretext of protecting Wang Chenhao actually planted a nail in Yanjing City, which immediately stirred up the situation and made the situation even more tense.

Wang Chenhao naturally couldn't bring a large army with him when he went to the Summer Palace, but he couldn't relax his vigilance either, so he only brought the special operations brigade to escort him.

It was summer, and the Summer Palace was a beautiful landscape.

This is Wang Chenhao's third visit to the Summer Palace, the first two times were in winter, and there was no beautiful scenery to be seen. Compared with the Summer Palace of Wang Chenhao's era, the Summer Palace, which was not looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance, is more magnificent and beautiful.

Wang Chenhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was a pity that this place was enjoyed by Cixi. There was a faint cry in his heart that he would become the master of this place sooner or later.

It was Li Lianying who came to greet Wang Chenhao, and she was able to get Li Lianying to greet her directly, which was not even available to Emperor Guangxu Yanjing, which shows Cixi's importance to Wang Chenhao.

"Congratulations to Lord Wang, congratulations to Lord Wang, this time I entered Beijing, Lafayette said that he would reward Lord Wang heavily."

Li Lianying had a smile on her face, and she was more and more attentive to Wang Chenhao. Of course, as Cixi's cronies, Li Lianying came to welcome Wang Chenhao in person, and it was inevitable that she would come over to touch Wang Chenhao's bottom.

Similarly, Wang Chenhao also wanted to find out what Cixi's bottom line was from Li Lianying. So he said: "I have been rewarded by the Queen Mother many times, and this official is already flattered, how can he be insatiable?" ”

Li Lianying said: "Lord Wang has worked hard for the imperial court, and it is natural to be rewarded. ”

"Shame shame!" Wang Chenhao smiled, and then asked, "I don't know what the Queen Mother will reward this time?" I also hope that Gonggong Li will mention one or two. ”

Wang Chenhao deliberately made a look of great concern about the addition of officials to the knighthood, in response to Li Lianying's temptation.

Sure enough, Li Lianying saw Wang Chenhao's expression and inquiry, and immediately replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Wang, the old slave doesn't know what Lafayette rewards the adult, but according to the old slave's guess, at least it has to be a duke or something." ”

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "Gonggong Li's words must be ** not far from ten!" ”

Li Lianying hurriedly humbled, but his expression was already obvious, and Wang Chenhao had already guessed that Cixi would at least give him the title of duke.

It's just that Wang Chenhao is not very interested in the virtual title. According to the suggestion of Wang Shizhen and other staff groups, Wang Chenhao hoped that he could join the military aircraft department, so that he could be worthy of his title of Minister of National Defense and Governor of Zhili. And only by entering the military aircraft department can you really enter the core of power in the Qing Empire.

Seeing Wang Chenhao's slight disappointment, Li Lianying's heart suddenly became nervous, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the adults don't seem to be satisfied?" ”

"How so?" Wang Chenhao then took the opportunity to say: "It's too late for me to be grateful? The Queen Mother rewarded me with a duke, and the emperor also sent someone to let me enter the military aircraft department, I just think that with so many official titles and positions, how can I be busy driving alone! ”

Li Lianying was stunned, she didn't expect Wang Chenhao to want to enter the military aircraft department. This is the key department, the last authority of the Qing Empire. With Wang Chenhao's current power, it is a matter of course to enter the Military Aircraft Department, but Cixi does not fully trust Wang Chenhao and has been pressing not to let Wang Chenhao enter the Military Aircraft Department. Li Lianying never thought that Guangxu promised to let Wang Chenhao enter the military aircraft in order to fight Cixi, which immediately hit Cixi's vital point.

Of course, Wang Chenhao was just fooling Li Lianying, but Li Lianying had to believe it.

Li Lianying's brain was stunned for a while, and then immediately said, "Where? Do adults work hard? With the identity and status of an adult today, it is long overdue for him to enter the military aircraft department. Actually, Galeries Lafayette also means this. ”

Wang Chenhao smiled secretly in his heart, now is the critical moment for the two parties of the emperor and queen to fight, and he is not afraid that Cixi will not let go.

"Really?" Wang Chenhao deliberately showed a surprised expression and said: "I'll just say it, I am loyal to the Queen Mother, presumably the emperor said that it is also the Queen Mother's intention to let me enter the military aircraft." ”

Li Lianying smiled bitterly in her heart, but she didn't dare to show a trace on her face, so she could only smile and say, "That's it!" ”

Cixi, as the ruler of the central government of the Qing Empire, and Wang Chenhao, as the minister of the Qing Empire, who held the power to decide on the surname, will become very careful in their conversations, because without a compromise in advance, it may cause both sides to step down, and the situation is irreparable. Therefore, Li Lianying, as the intermediary between Cixi and Wang Chenhao, shoulders the task of testing and conveying the meaning of both parties.

Now that Li Lianying has found out Wang Chenhao's intention to enter the military aircraft department, this has exceeded the bottom line that Cixi gave Li Lianying first, so she naturally has to report to Cixi first.

happened to walk to the long corridor Lake Pavilion, Wang Chenhao met Ning Xiang Ge Yuntong and the court master of ceremonies Shalina, one had a personal relationship with Wang Chenhao, and the other was an enemy with Wang Chenhao, the two daughters immediately stopped Wang Chenhao from talking, Li Lianying took the opportunity to let Wang Chenhao talk to the two Gege, and he himself went out to find Cixi first, and informed Cixi of Wang Chenhao's thoughts first, so that Cixi could know in her heart.

In the pavilion in the lake, after Li Lianying left, only Yun Tong and Shalina remained, as well as several palace maids who served the second daughter.

At that time, the second daughter was dressed very thinly, and her bumpy figure and gorgeous palace clothes looked particularly charming. The breeze passed, and there was a faint fragrance of daughter, which was refreshing.

Wang Chenhao was about to let his eyes stay on their delicate bodies for a while, but unexpectedly, Salina was the first to go crazy.

"Hey! Stinky rascals! How dare you come here? ”

Wang Chenhao glanced at Sarina, only to see her eyes staring at him tightly, and it seemed that she was still holding a grudge. However, this time, with Yun Tong and the palace maid by her side, Shalina didn't seem to be able to do anything.

The angry appearance of the beauty also has a seductive charm, but Wang Chenhao has a feeling of being a thief, so he doesn't dare to look at her, so he has to turn his eyes to Yun Tong, and he doesn't care about Shalina.

Looking at Yun Tong in a blue flag suit, her dignified and steady smile calmed Wang Chenhao.

Yun Tong took Shalina by the hand, signaled that she should not be rude, smiled lightly, and said, "Lord Wang has not entered Beijing for some time!" ”

Every time he enters Beijing, I don't know if it's an accident or something else, Wang Chenhao can always bump into Yun Tong. And every time Yun Tong always has a lot of questions to discuss and endless words with Wang Chenhao. Among Chinese women, there are few people who are as knowledgeable as Yun Tong, so Wang Chenhao can talk to her. It's just that Yi gradually alienated Wang Chenhao, and even stood on the opposite side of Wang Chenhao, causing the two to talk and meet many times and were interrupted by Yi.

Since Guangxu and the Restorationists carried out the reform of the law, Wang Chenhao has not entered Beijing again, and when she saw Yun Tong again after a few months, she had lost a lot of weight.

"The county lord has lost a lot!"

For some reason, Wang Chenhao suddenly answered the question.

Yun Tong was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of joy, and he said, "Thank you Lord Wang for your concern!" ”

Then, Yun Tong and Wang Chenhao talked and laughed, and when Yi was mentioned, Yun Tong's expression was a little gloomy.

Wang Chenhao knew why Yun Tong was reduced, because Yi was going to hang up soon. Although Wang Chenhao was dissatisfied with Yi's opposition to him, he would not care about a dying person, so he persuaded him.

Sarina on the side was ignored as a light bulb, and she was very unhappy.

Yun Tong also knew the "stories" between Shalina and Wang Chenhao, and persuaded the two of them every time, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"I said Nana, for my sister's sake, let's bypass Lord Wang, right?"

Sharina glared at Yun Tong angrily, and snorted: "Heavy color and light friend!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chenhao was happy, but Yun Tong blushed and didn't dare to persuade anymore.

Then Shalina turned to Wang Chenhao and said, "Honestly let my aunt and grandmother beat you, otherwise we won't be finished." ”

Wang Chenhao rolled his eyes, this Shalina is playing with a child's temper, and she has to take revenge.

Wang Chenhao said: "I am also a dignified governor of Zhili and Minister of National Defense, and I was beaten by you, how will I mix in the future?" ”

When Shalina heard this, her face suddenly sank, and she asked rhetorically: "If you want to save face, don't you want to lose face for your aunt?" My aunt and grandmother are a county lord, and you are rude, if this is spread out, how will my aunt and grandmother mix it up in the future? ”

Wang Chenhao coughed dryly, and said with insufficient confidence: "Isn't that a misunderstanding?" ”

Shalina suddenly pinched her waist and glared, and said, "Misunderstanding? All right! You asked me to beat you up first, and then I also said what about a misunderstanding? ”

Yun Tong saw that Wang Chenhao and Shalina were on the bar again, and stepped forward again to persuade him. Yun Tong suggested that Wang Chenhao let Shalina beat her out of anger, and at the same time let Shalina show mercy when she made a move.

Wang Chenhao had no choice but to let Shalina get angry, but he was not allowed to slap his face. But Shalina had to slap her face, and she had to slap Wang Chenhao's face into a pig's head.

Every time she came here, Yun Tong could only shake her head helplessly, and in the end she was out of line.

Just when Wang Chenhao and Shalina were arguing, Li Lianying came to pass Wang Chenhao to see Cixi, and immediately relieved Wang Chenhao.

The matter between Wang Chenhao and Shalina is no longer a secret, but because of the special identities of Wang Chenhao and Shalina, others dare not say much.

Cixi was not in the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, but met Wang Chenhao in the Wanshou Palace.

Wang Chenhao had skillfully conveyed his thoughts to Cixi through Li Lianying, although Cixi was extremely unhappy, but the current situation had to rely on Wang Chenhao to support, so in the end Cixi chose to give in.

"The Empress Dowager decreed, Wang Chenhao, Lord Wang, reformed the currency system for the imperial court and stabilized finance. The reorganization of armaments and the prestige of overseas are really due to the contribution of the imperial court and society, and he has been specially promoted to the first-class Yan Guogong, hereditary replacement, promoted to the minister of Han in the military aircraft department, and rectified the military affairs ...... Gyeonggi

Li Lianying read out Cixi's will, Wang Chenhao achieved his goal, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Cixi, saying that the Beiyang Navy and Army obeyed Cixi's orders. and directly expressed his support for Cixi's regency, which immediately poked at Cixi's most tense question.

Cixi praised Wang Chenhao with her surname, but she knew in her heart that Wang Chenhao's power was once again unstoppably inflated. Although Wang Chenhao was loyal to her, Cixi understood that she was drinking to quench her thirst. Wang Chenhao's power has been too big to lose, Cixi only begged Wang Chenhao not to openly rebel, and after completely abolishing Guangxu, Cixi can turn her energy to the other party, Wang Chenhao. Before that, Cixi could only talk to Wang Chenhao and the snake.

Cixi was in a bad mood, so after saying a few words to Wang Chenhao, she let Wang Chenhao retreat.

Wang Chenhao also understood that Cixi had no choice but to let him be promoted to the Minister of Han of the Military Aircraft Department, so he did not delay and immediately retired.
