Nanjing, this May 16 easy to get a new name on the street, a black hard-topped Mustang car along the way whistle, came to the Han Tang Fang Nanjing Weaving Bureau, the predecessor of the Nanjing Weaving Bureau is the Jiangning Bureau of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, before the recovery of the Manchu Dynasty had a difficult material resources to try to check the attendance system of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, after the recovery, the Jiangning Weaving Bureau that was originally facing the risk of being laid off was naturally not cut and cut, just when the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was about to disperse, the Han Tang Fang invested 3 million yuan, bought the Jiangning, Suzhou, Hangzhou three bureaus, Subsequently, the fabrics originally offered for tribute by the three bureaus were made into high-end Han clothes and sold to the people, and the Han style was regained after the recovery, making the Han Tang Fang make a big profit in the month.

"Jiangning Weaving Bureau!"

Pick up the curtain of the car, Zhang Zhidong read the sign of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, he is no stranger to this place, three times when acting in Liangjiang, he has come here several times to urge the tribute brocade, asked for private brocade, and now the Jiangning Weaving Bureau has become a private factory.

"Get out of the car, I'll take you to see something."

Zhang Zhidong, who is the adviser to the ruling axe, said to Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping beside him. By this time, the door had been opened by the guards.

When the three of them walked into the Jiangning Weaving Bureau together, the porter outside the door still remembered that the leader was the ruling axe counselor, and his old man had come to this place in recent days, and he was busy greeting him.

"Where's your manager?"

The porter bowed again and again, and said back.

"The manager is ...... in the workplace"

"No need, I'll go by myself!"

After that, Zhang Zhidong led the two into the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, but Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping were puzzled, thinking that if Xiangshuai needed a decent Han dress, he could go to the Han Tang Fang to buy it, and there was also a Yunjin Han dress from the Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

After Zhang Zhidong entered the workshop, he saw a thin man lying on the desk painting something, he coughed, the thin old man turned his head to look, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhang Zhidong and his party.

"I don't know if the counselor is coming, I miss the distance!"

Even until now, Zhang Zhidong had difficulty adapting to the bow after the kneeling ceremony was abolished, and he just nodded his head.

"The robe design is complete!"

"Back to the counselor, it's still not finished!"

This answer made Zhang Zhidong frown, this robe is a congratulatory gift he prepared, since he came to Nanjing, he was thinking about how to show his loyalty, although the ruling was not thorough, but Zhang Zhidong already knew the answer, so he would take out 100,000 yuan, and ask the Jiangning Weaving Bureau of Hantang Fang to design this Han-style dragon robe.

"This is the pattern of the robe."

When he spoke, Yu Zhujiu raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the counselor in front of him, almost when he received this list, he wanted to go to the police station to report, since he was a child in the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, he naturally knew that this dragon robe was a big rebellion, but the company not only accepted this list, but also kept him secret.

Stop in front of the case and take a closer look. A red Han dress has been painted on the large paper, the dragon robe is embroidered with red and sea waves, and in the middle is a golden flying dragon with its head and tail raised, its five claws are arrogant, its eyes are bright, and its scales are brilliant.

The costume on the painting only made Chen Yan scream softly.

"Ah, isn't this a dragon robe?"

But Zhang Zhidong didn't speak, but there was a smile under his beard. And Sang Zhiping also kept staring, didn't make a sound, and thought to himself: The dragon robe is secretly being done, it seems that the ruling emperor must have done it, thinking that this Sang Zhiping finally understood why after arriving in Nanjing, Xiang Shuai seemed to be busy with something, and he was afraid that this was what he was busy with!

"Whether it is the fabric lining or all kinds of silk threads, they are the best materials in the country, and the bureau has invited the best embroidery girls from Suzhou. When it is finished, it can be embroidered. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to the two black eyes of the golden dragon on the paper.

"This dragon is black, and the black pearls used are imported from the island of Tahiti, in the Polynesian islands of the Pacific."

The three of them followed Yu Zhujiu's fingers to look at the dragon's eyes, which were black dragon eyes, which were different from the white treasure balls used by dragon eyes in the past.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Zhidong asked Sang Zhiping beside him.

"How's the dragon robe?"

Sang Zhiping nodded and said.

Chen Yan stared at the dragon's eyes, thinking about the appearance of the ruling king after wearing the dragon robe, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and sweat was oozing from his back, this ruling person is different from others, this person seems to be humble and kind, but in fact?

He was one of the first Xiangshuai staff to leave Wuchang to join the ruling axe, although he served in the Ministry of Education, but he knew that the Ministry of Education was now discussing the "China Education Order", which in addition to the eight-year compulsory education is proposed by the government, there is also a point that school-age children are forced to go to school, make school cards, to show the difference, and the police urge the children with cards to go to school. Penalties have also been enacted to punish parents who do not send their school-age children to school, with a maximum fine of 10 floggings and six months of public service.

It's still so ruthless about this, let alone ...... Thinking about it, Xiang Shuai's words reached his ears.

“…… What kind of republic have those individuals been talking about there lately, but how do you know that everyone can deserve this great president, and if they are republican, won't they encourage rebellion? Moreover, the Chinese still can't do without the emperor! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong stroked his beard, his face seemed to be a little proud, others could see that Chen Dashuai was not in the republic, but a few people thought of acting decisively.

"As courtiers, we must not only share the king's worries, but also think about what the king thinks! This is the duty of a courtier! ”

Xiang Shuai's words made Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping silent, they vaguely guessed that maybe this dragon robe was used by Xiang Shuai to show his loyalty to the government, thinking that these two couldn't help but cry out Xiang Shuai's confusion, such a big thing turned out to be ...... Xiang Shuai was really given by the prime minister of the new dynasty...... The two of them sighed in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, but they just looked thoughtfully at the dragon robe on the paper.

An official in a suit walked straight to Zhang Zhidong and bent down to Zhang Zhidong, who was reading the newspaper.

"Xiang Shuai, do you still recognize Xia Guan?"

Zhang Zhidong took off his reading glasses and looked at them seriously.

"Aren't you Xu Buwu? How did you get here?"

As if remembering something, Zhang Zhidong smiled.

"Forget you've been in office for the Ruling Axe!"

"Xiang Shuai is good to remember his surname, and the next official is Xu Shichang."

Xu Shichang said with a humble smile.

"Ever since I saw Xiang Shuai at Xiaguan Wharf, Xia Guan has been thinking about coming to visit Xiang Shuai, this is not a holiday, so I took the liberty to visit, and please Xiang Shuai is not strange."

"Sit, sit!" Zhang Zhidong stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa opposite.

"You have too many courtesies, and now they are all restored, you and I are both servants of the citizens, there is no need to be an official."

Although he said so, Zhang Zhidong was quite useful in his heart, and the number of officials and subordinates always made him get back some of the past feelings.

"Xiang Shuai, you must pay attention to it in the future!"

Sitting down on the sofa, Xu Shichang said happily.

"Xiangshuai, when I came to Nanjing from Hebei, I bought some keels, which were just shipped a few days ago, and I have to figure it out carefully, and I may be able to recognize dozens of ancient characters."

He said happily on his lips, but he felt funny in his heart, this Nanjing city has never been familiar with the study of Xinxue, familiar with Xinxue and the study of Yangmingxue, but the counselor of the partial Sheng likes to engrave the keel of the divination text of the Yin Shang period.

"Great, great." Zhang Zhidong said with a smile, "When the time comes, you can show me first, don't be in a hurry to announce it to the world, so as not to be ridiculed by the Fang family." ”

"Xiang Shuai is willing to review it for me, that's really unwanted. I carried a few turtle shell plates with me, and a few words, which I thought I had guessed seven or eight points. Please take a look at Xiang Shuai, and dial the lower official. ”

"Where, show me it!"

Zhang Zhidong looked urgent, like a playful child, anxiously asking an adult for a novel toy.

Xu Shichang took out a cloth bag from the briefcase he was carrying. The cloth bag was opened, revealing a dozen or so black-brown tortoise plates stained with mud. Zhang Zhidong hurriedly put on his reading glasses again, took a piece and examined it carefully.

Gu Hongming, Chen Yan and others also picked up a piece and watched it very curiously. The study suddenly became an archaeological research institute.

Looking at Zhang Zhidong's focused look, Xu Shichang was glad that he had carefully prepared this move.

After receiving the telegram from Baoding, Xu Shichang began to think about how to please the old man, he thought about it, and thought of the keel unearthed in the Yin Ruins, which was originally intended by Yuan Shikai to be dedicated to the ruling party, and the ruling is preparing a museum.

This trick really worked. Zhang Zhidong, Gu Hongming, Chen Yan and Xu Shichang are facing these dozen turtle plates, and there are endless topics around the emerging discipline of oracle bone inscription. Unconsciously, the sky darkened, and Zhang Zhidong naturally left Xu Shichang in the house for dinner.

During the banquet, Zhang Zhidong just picked up some light tasting, and talked about Yuan Shikai in the north from the oracle bones first.

"Bu Wu! Yuan Weiting, when will you enter Beijing?"

Zhang Zhidong, who put down the chopsticks, asked unintentionally, although he liked oracle bones, he also knew that Xu Shichang came to visit, for the sake of Yuan Shikai.

"Don't hide it from Xiangshuai, since Shichang took up his new position, he and Vice Chairman Yuan have come very rarely!"

Xu Shichang replied respectfully.

"However, Shichang heard that the deputy committee had sent a telegram to the ruling government, requesting that he stay in Hebei for the time being."

The previous sentence was the official's words, but the latter sentence was Xu Shichang's intention.

"Comfort Court is reluctant to enter Beijing?"

Xia Guan thought, not unwillingly. Maybe it's because the vice chairman is not from the two lists, and he has no money in his belly, so he feels that his talent is limited. ”

This will Xu Shichang talk about his past master, but he is not polite, and even has a sense of ridicule.

"Bu Wu! You have to persuade the Court of Comfort! ”

Zhang Zhidong subconsciously picked up his beard again and put on his usual shelf.

"He's not even fifty yet, and he has a big future. You have been a foreign official for more than 20 years, and your experience is enough, and you should also go to Beijing to be a court official. Besides, the ruling party can be said to be quite dependent on him a lot, and the post of vice chairman of the military committee is an extremely important post of consulting on foreign affairs and military aircraft, and the central authority orders the world and does a good job, and his contribution to the country is far better than that of a provincial governor, not to mention that this new policy has been decided, and he is needed to do this kind of work around the ruling side. ”

Although he put up a shelf, he also knew that Xu Shichang's words were just to listen to it, but Zhang Zhidong knew that for the ruling party, Yuan Shikai, who held the soldiers of the three towns, would be a disaster for the world in the future, not only him, but also Li Jingxi of Yungui, Shengyun of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Xiliang of Sichuan, all of which were the troubles of the ruling heart.

Compared with those three, once the Jingshi was conquered by Yuan Shikai, the name of the Tartar was expelled, it must be a great disaster, if it is said that the four people can not be pacified, maybe as long as the ruling in the southeast ascends the throne, there will be someone in the northwest to claim the king, in Hebei to be the emperor, the southwest to be the strongest, the whole land of China will have no peaceful land, hundreds of millions of people have no respite, what will follow, will inevitably be more brutal bloody struggle, more protracted sword fighting, if the four of them fake the momentum of foreigners, then only afraid...... Therefore, for the ruling party, these four people cannot but be eliminated.

"The Pivot Commands the World"

sneered in his heart, Xu Shichang knew that he was afraid that as soon as the vice chairman entered Beijing and the Beiyang Army was reorganized, the vice chairman would really only be a foot valley at that time! That's still the best result, the old man in front of him didn't let his false name get carried away?

Thinking of this, Xu Shichang decided to give it a try.

"Xiang Shuai, you are highly respected, you have raised righteousness from Wuchang, and you are in the position of advisor to the ruling axe, and you are the hope of the people and the government. Of course, it is the center to command the world, and the contribution to the country is far greater than that of Huguang and Guangzhou. Naturally, the vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee cannot be compared with you, and he will inevitably be ridiculed by others. I am afraid that what the vice committee member wants is to go to Beijing by himself, but it is better to be in Hebei and do more things for the country. ”

Zhang Zhidong, who was half-closed and stroked his beard, shook his head.

"Usually doing things, Yuan Weiting has always dared to be responsible, and he is quite confident, why did he cringe once he was asked to enter the pivotal wall? Now that the country has recovered and the ruling government intends to reorganize the old mountains and rivers, it is the time for my generation to share the worries of the monarch and work hard for the country. Bu Wu! The consolation court is your old man, you should repay it with your heart, but this old man needs to remind you! ”

Xu Shichang, who felt some pity for Zhang Zhidong because of these words, was stared at by Zhang Zhidong's eyes, and sweat suddenly came out of his back.

"You need to know one thing, the ruling government has already controlled half of the country, with 500,000 strong troops, Li Jingxiye of Yunnan and Guizhou is swaying, Shengyun of Shaanxi and Gansu, Xiliang of Sichuan, can still hold a few days, Shaanxi has recently said that the righteous people are all around, and in a few months, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan will all be recovered, and who will be the king in the world at that time."

Zhang Zhidong touched his long white and sparse beard, and his voice became more and more cold.

"Bu Wu! You're smart and you know what to do! ”

Hearing this, Xu Shichang was so frightened that a trace of cold sweat broke out on his back. He involuntarily glanced at Zhang Zhidong, who was more aging than a few years ago, and saw that the two sunken eyes were staring at him, as if he had already seen what he was doing in Nanjing, and after a moment of hesitation, he suddenly knelt down.

"Xiangshuai, you ...... You know, Shichang and Yuan Shikai have a ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhidong let out a long sigh and stared at Xu Shichang and said.

"Bu Wu! You're smart! Okay, it's getting late, let's go back! There will be government affairs tomorrow! ”

"Lao Xiangshuai bothered!"

Chen Moran rubbed his temples lightly with his fingers, and since he became such a ruler, he has not been very relaxed. This time he really wanted to thank Zhang Zhidong for beating Xu Shichang, that Xu Shichang took Yuan Shikai's silver, but he was not less in Nanjing, although some of it went into the treasury, but the seamless egg also had the day when it was nailed, not to mention that it was a seamed egg.

"It is the duty of a courtier to share worries for the king!"

At this time, Zhang Zhidong was quite guarding the duty of a minister, and Chen Moran nodded his head and looked at Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Jing had already reported that he was making dragon robes, the saint is the king, the virtuous is the minister, thinking about what he once said to himself, Chen Moran smiled in his heart.

"Xiangshuai, when do you think Li Jingxi in Yunnan will lose his sincerity! Recently, the French consul in Kunming, but there are frequent activities! ”

"In power, what I'm worried about is not Li Jingxi, but Yuan Shikai!"

"Oh? Please also tell us more about it. ”

Listening to Zhang Zhidong's words, Chen Moran stood up and looked at him.

"Li Jingxi is a courageless person, even if he has the French as a supporter, he does not dare or want to be a puppet of a legal person, he still has this backbone! What's more, Yunnan and Guizhou are barren. Li Jingxi has no soldiers to hold and no financial resources to continue, he said that he might as well reward him with the title when he governs, and Li Jingxi will definitely be as good as a stream! ”

said that Zhang Zhidong seemed to have forgotten that Chen Moran was in power now, even if he wanted to be the emperor, he would have to wait for "hundreds of millions of people to decide on the national system".

"Let's say it's Shaanxi and Gansu's Shengyun, Sichuan's Xiliang, which is the banner man, and will fight to the death, Shaanxi and Gansu are now under the rebel army, Sichuan is located in the hinterland, and the recovery army is waiting to enter Sichuan, and the two are not afraid!"

Chen Moran listened attentively, noncommittal.

"Count, the only fear is Yuan Shikai from Hebei!"

Zhang Zhidong's expression became grim.

"Yuan Shikai as the minister of Beiyang, and the ministers of the capital have dealings, countries in China is even more ambitious, want to China as fat, Yuan Shikai is in Baoding garrison, but it is to negotiate with countries, hope that its neutrality is only one of them, seeking the support of all countries is the second, if he occupies the capital division, and has the support of the ministers of all countries, the internal can be coerced to the full power, and the outside can be supported by the countries, only afraid that the time will ......"

"He can't take the capital! Xiangshuai, your opinion is consistent with mine, the reason why I didn't force Yuan Shikai too much is not that I am worried about his Beiyang Army, and even Cixi secretly contacted Yuan Shikai and promised to be crowned king, I know all this, but I still rely on him, I am worried that he announced Hebei Reading Power, and then the great powers will intervene again, and the problem will be complicated, but even so, he Yuan Shikai wants to capture the capital but it is a dream! ”

Saying that, Chen Moran smiled proudly and looked at Zhang Zhidong, who was a little surprised.

"Now the Qing army and the standing army of the Beijing Banner are gathered in the area of Tianjin and Beijing, intending to block Yuan Shikai, the defense of the capital is naturally empty, if it is a strange army, Xiang Shuai! Can the capital still be held? ”
