The eight governors of the world, in the officialdom of "my great Qing Dynasty", refer to the eight governors of convenient places, Zhili, Liangjiang, Huguang, Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Yunnan, among which the highest status is naturally the governor of Zhili, especially the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, the power is heavier, as for the governor of Liangjiang, because of his heavy tax land, coupled with the minister of Nanyang, his power is only slightly inferior to that of the governor of Zhili, and the status of the governor of Huguang is slightly inferior.

The first governor in the world, I don't know when, originally ranked after the governor of Zhili, the governor of Huguang, who ranked third among the governors, began to challenge this "title", but in the past two years, Huguang does have the ability to challenge Zhili - since Zhang Zhidong became the governor of Huguang, it is convenient for Hubei Daxing Western, Hanyang Iron Works, Arsenal, Wuchang Shipyard, Daye Iron Mine, Hubei Official Textile Bureau, Hubei Raw Silk Bureau and Hubei Shipbuilding Bureau, and even at the beginning of the year, because of the poor coal quality in Hubei, it cooperated with the Governor of Liangjiang, Coal mine was discovered in Jiulong Gang, Huainan.

It was thanks to the prosperity of a series of government-run factories that Hubei faintly became the leader of the country's foreign affairs, and at the beginning of the year, due to the implementation of the tobacco monopoly in Hunan, the income of the feudal treasury surged, Zhang Zhidong, as the governor of Huguang, began to repair the coal mines and railways in Anhui Province to ensure the coal used by the Hanyang Iron Works in other days.

With the support of the imperial court, the former leader of the Northern Qingliu, relying on the achievements of Hubei Western, seems to be challenging Li Hongzhang's status little by little, as for the "first governor of the world", in the eyes of everyone in the Huguang Governor's Palace, it is none other than Zhang Zhidong.

But just when Zhang Zhidong was ambitiously running Hubei's new policy and competing with Li Hongzhang, the news that Tang Haoran, the commander of North Korea, rebelled. His telegram was sent to Hubei. It was passed to Wuchang.

"From now on. All matters of the country are discussed by Xiang Shuai and the local governor, Haoran should return the army, and the soldiers of North Korea will never enter the pass for half a step, otherwise, Hao Ran only uses 100,000 Korean soldiers to force the capital, and the Qing monarch ...... side"

Zhang Zhidong sat on the cowhide Taishi's chair and stared at the telegram he had just received for a long time, and the anger in his chest was burning with heat. It scorched his heart. It makes him angry, it makes him wronged, it makes him miserable!

He never thought that this telegram came from Tang Haoran's hand, which is exactly what Zhang Zhidong was most annoyed about, it can be said that it was he Zhang Zhidong who brought Tang Haoran into the officialdom, although the two had no teacher-student relationship, but they had the reality of being half a teacher, although Tang Haoran was separated from Hubei under the pretext of the original. But Zhang Zhidong never hid his admiration for it, even when he presided over North Korea. It is even said that he has the ability to govern the country and secure the country, but it is a pity that he succumbs to foreign vassals.

Every time he thought of this, Zhang Zhidong would secretly regret it, if he had been left in Hubei at that time, maybe he would ...... But how can there be regret medicine in this world?

And when Zhang Zhidong felt sorry for him, he didn't expect that it was this person, and today he actually said the opposite, which is almost equivalent to a slap in Zhang Zhidong's face!

After all, in the past two years, Zhang Zhidong has opened his eyes for him more than ten times, and his appreciation is known to the world, but who would have thought that he would say the opposite, without a trace of scruples at all, even if Wu Sangui has endured for decades, and he has only been working for two years, and he wants to go down to the whole country with one place.

But this is not the most annoying, what is really annoying is that he used a piece of paper to pull the "Eight Governors of the World" into it, in order to divide the trust between the Xinjiang officials and the center, and even if he was involved with other people, but he was involved with himself, how could this not make Zhang Zhidong annoyed, in his opinion, it was completely ungrateful.

If you are ungrateful, how can you be believed!

"Tang Ziran ......"

Snorted coldly, Zhang Zhidong, who was very angry, only felt that his beard trembled slightly, if it wasn't properly controlled, he was afraid that the teacup would fall out, but Sang Zhiping looked at this scene, but he only half-closed his eyes and didn't say anything. What else can be said now? Tang Haoran not only reversed, but also used a piece of paper to electrify and pull all the eight Chinese feudal officials in Ruoda.

Zhang Zhidong, who was once the leader of the Qingliu, didn't know that maybe now the imperial court would turn a blind eye to this because of the urgency of the moment, but after this pass has passed, there will inevitably be an official who will be impeached by this, and how can the impeachment of the official need any real evidence, just a few words of rumor, and then convict others! What's more, they still have this telegram to back up with!

This Tang Ziran didn't intend to push the big guy to a dead end!

In the past ten years of exile in the local area, although the original imperial court released itself to divide the power of the locality, and used the Qingliu to clamp down on the Xiantong military meritorious Xinjiang officials, but after the release of the locality, Zhang Zhidong has already turned from the original Qingliu to the Xinjiang officials, and the consideration is naturally his own power, and the power of the Xinjiang officials is completely different from that of the Beijing officials, and the Beijing officials are noble, but the Xinjiang officials are ...... If you want to make a career, you still have to go to the local area!

Although he has been loyal to the court for many years, it does not mean that Zhang Zhidong will be pedantic enough to test the word "loyalty" with his own life, and even he cannot be bullied like Zeng Wenzhenggong, Zeng Wenzhenggong's experience is already chilling, if there is an impeachment in the future, the court will no longer fabricate charges.

In that case...... Not only is the personal wealth not guaranteed, but it may even harm the family and clan. And all this is the result of Tang Haoran's move "Eight Governors Discussing Politics", what kind of "Discussion of Politics" is there, which is obviously to force the imperial court to attack the Eight Governors.

What is Tang Ziran's goal?

Zhang Zhidong really wanted to pull him in front of him and question him face to face, and slap him twice at the same time! In order to vent the anger in his heart, it is no wonder that anyone whose net worth and life are pressed on the table by others will be so annoyed.

"My lord, these eight governors are not lying at all, if all the major affairs of the country are handled by the eight governors, I am afraid that this world will not be like this!"

Sang Zhiping said casually on the side, if he said that in the past, he admired Tang Haoran, then now he is afraid that some are just admired, in the past, he only said that Tang Haoran was talented and had no strategy, and he didn't know that the officialdom was flexible, but today, he saw Tang Haoran's scheming side, not to mention anything else, just this "Eight Governors Discussing Politics" is unprecedented, even if the loyal ministers of the court hear these four words, they will be moved, the reason is simpler - power!

The eight governors of the world seem to be extremely popular ministers and have unlimited scenery, and they can be said to be the head of the Xinjiang officials, but in fact, they are tied up by all parties. There are local thorn cloth political envoys and other yamen involved. The DPRK and China are not only checked and balanced by the military aircraft. Even Li Hongzhang, who has the name of "the first governor in the world", is also cautious, for fear of crossing the thunder pool by half a step, as for Zhang Zhidong, although he is dependent on each other in the court, he also needs to be cautious. to avoid it.

But today, Tang Haoran's move of "Eight Governors to Discuss Politics" has fundamentally reversed the reality of emphasizing the center and ignoring the locality, thus laying the local upper hand over the imperial court, and if the "Eight Governors Discussing Politics" comes true, the eight governors can also rely on the local area to become bigger, and how can they be afraid of the power of the DPRK and the central government, and how can they care about the impeachment of the official and the criticism of the DPRK and the central government?

Power!

The power of the place is unprecedentedly expanded. How can you not be excited?

The temptation of power can apply to anyone, but especially to those who want to make a career. His thirst for power is even more than ordinary people, even if he is afraid of the fragrance in front of him, he can't refuse this "generous gift"! If half of the eight governors in the world are led by the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics", who will calm him down now in the world!

The imperial court's scruples about the eight governors are that the eight governors collect military and financial resources, if the "eight governors discuss politics", the eight governors will not take the risk of losing their own strength to pacify him Tang Ziran, so as to ...... Maybe when the time comes, the court is afraid that he will only have one way to go!

Ziran!

Admiring Tang Ziran's skill in his heart, Sang Zhiping, who saw the opportunity, naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, or rather, as Zhang Zhidong's staff, he naturally needed to plan for the interests of the master.

"Eight Governors Discuss Politics, Eight Governors Discuss Politics ......"

Saying this word, Zhang Zhidong's heart was beating and a complex emotion surged in the depths of his heart, on the one hand, he was certainly angry with Tang Ziran's "betrayal", but on the other hand, he had to face the temptation brought by this "political discussion".

If the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics" is really implemented, then the affairs of the imperial court will not be left to the eight governors, and as for the imperial court, how can it still be arbitrary today!

Even though he was born in the Qing Dynasty, these years of Xinjiang officials also made Zhang Zhidong deeply feel that he was shackled by the court and the officials, and everything was difficult to do, and even began to understand Li Hongzhang to a certain extent, and sympathized with his hard work over the years.

But if the imperial court no longer has the right to act arbitrarily, what is there to fear from impeachment, or even ...... Just when Zhang Zhidong was silent, Sang Zhiping saw his hesitation.

"My lord, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Li Hanzhang, the governor of Liangguang, Bian Baodi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, Yang Changjun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Wang Wenshao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou,"

At this time, Sang Zhiping didn't even mention the word Seven Governors, but just said the names of these seven people one by one, and whenever he mentioned the name of one of them, Zhang Zhidong's brows were furrowed,

"The governor of the world, out of Xianghuai!"

This sentence is not false, among these seven, Li Hongzhang is naturally the leader, his brother Li Hanzhang is the leader, Liu Bingzhang is also a famous general of the Huai Army, and Wang Wenshao is from Xiangtan, but he is recommended by Li Hongzhang. As for Liu Kunyi and Yang Changjun, they are veterans of the Hunan army, and among the eight governors in the world, that is, he and Bian Baodi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, are from the Qing rumors.

In other words, among the eight governors, if Li Hongzhang has a different heart, then the world is ...... People in the world are uneven, and those who are officials also have their own thoughts, and the so-called loyalty is just words. If the eight governors had their own thoughts, even the imperial court would not be able to do anything about it now.

Not to mention other people, just his Bian Baodi in Fujian and Zhejiang, is not dissatisfied with the imperial court because of the misappropriation of shipping funds, and if it is time, he Zhang Zhidong moves against the current, I am afraid that he will attack the world, then how can he Zhang Zhidong be able to stop, when weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Zhidong's brows are more and more wrinkled.

"The eight governors of the world, only the lord and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang were born in Qingliu, and Liu Kunyi and Yang Changjun were loyal to the imperial court, but the veterans of the Hunan army have all seen Zeng Wenzhenggong encountered, and today Hangzhou advocates "rejuvenating the Han and chasing the Manchurians", Ziran also and the Korean dialect "Han and Manchu are equal", advocating "eight governors to discuss politics", the two echo each other, how can the court not be suspicious? ”

Sang Zhiping's words made Zhang Zhidong more and more silent, this is exactly what he is most worried about, if the imperial court stays until the rebellion of Ziran is pacified, and then settles accounts after the autumn, what should it be like then? Do you have to wait until disaster strikes...... At that time, even if there is a desire to counteract, I am afraid that there will be no power to fight.

Rather than wait until disaster strikes and then make a choice, it is better to ...... But how could this be done by a loyal servant? Just as he hesitated, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Xiangshuai, the will of the imperial court has come down!"

When the words outside the hall came, Zhao Fengchang followed and walked up, presented the telegram to Zhang Zhidong with both hands, and took the telegram with just a glance, and his face changed.

"Brother Xiangtao (Xiangshuai), what's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhidong in surprise, obviously there was a will from the imperial court, could it be ...... The bottom of everyone's hearts suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, could it be that the guilty fold was wrong?

"The imperial court crowned the old man as the crown prince!"

What the!

Sang Zhiping and Zhao Fengchang's faces changed suddenly, but the adult's excerpt was exchanged for a "prince Taibao", how can this not be shocking, this is not a good thing.

"Okay, a good one who is not guilty, a good one who has worked state affairs for many years, and a good prince and Taibao......"

When a few good words came out of Zhang Zhidong's mouth in succession, his face was full of grievances, and what made him most aggrieved was that the court would look at him, didn't the court know his loyalty? If he was guilty of the plea for recommending Tang Ziran back then, in exchange for an edict that was mercilessly reprimanded, or even made him "repay his guilt", he would gladly accept it. In Zhang Zhidong's view, this is a matter of course, and it is the reproach of being a courtier.

But now, instead of strictly reprimanding in the imperial court, it is trying to appease in every possible way, just like appeasing Wang Fuchen when Kangxi was in the three feudatories, is it possible that in the eyes of the imperial court, the eight governors of the Great Qing State are all Wang Fuchen at both ends of the first rat back then? Is he Zhang Zhidong the king of this world? Thinking of the "Holy Ancestor" in the history books, behind the so-called "perfect man" is actually a perfidious expert who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and thought of what happened to Wang Fuchen, how could Zhang Zhidong feel at ease? How can you not be cold?

Thinking about it like this, a heart-wrenching pain only made Zhang Zhidong dizzy, sweating profusely in his palms, and finally collapsed on the Taishi chair.

And Sang Zhiping and Zhao Fengchang saw that the adults had passed out with their eyes closed, their faces were pale, and they hurriedly shouted in fright:

"Brother Xiangtao (Xiang Shuai)!"

After the two shouted a few times, Zhang Zhidong opened his eyes.

"Brother Xiangtao, are you not feeling well?"

Sang Zhiping picked up Zhang Zhidong's left hand and pressed it slightly hard at his tiger's mouth.

"Is it better?"

Zhang Zhidong nodded lightly and said weakly:

"Send the telegram to the other governors! Send it now...... The court, the court, ah......"
