Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but be interested when he heard it, and said casually, "If there is anything, let Aiqing play." ”

"Your Majesty, when Weichen entered Beijing the day before yesterday, he met a Guangdong lifter, Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei wrote more than 10,000 words of "the emperor's book", and the eighteen provinces responded with more than 1,000 people, and Kang Youwei begged Weichen to forward it to the emperor for preview. Ren Chao took out Kang Youwei's book of 10,000 words and respectfully presented it. The eunuch who was waiting next to him hurriedly stepped forward, took the book of ten thousand words, and then presented it to Emperor Guangxu.

Emperor Guangxu heard that it was a joint letter from 18 provinces, and more than 1,000 people couldn't help but be slightly surprised, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was written on it, "For the sake of safety, begging for a clear edict, making great rewards and punishments, training recruits, changing new laws, strengthening the country to reject foreigners, protecting the territory and extending the country's life, petitioning on behalf of the minister: ......" The book of 10,000 words is more than 10,000 words, and it is naturally impossible to read it in one moment. Emperor Guangxu just looked at it casually and put the book of ten thousand words aside, and then asked Ren Chao, "You should have read Ren Aiqing's book of ten thousand words before!" What are your thoughts on this? ”

Ren Chao replied respectfully, "Emperor Qi, although Kang Youwei has some arrogant words in this book of ten thousand words, some of the construction of a rich country and a strong army are still good, and Weichen thinks that the emperor can take a look at it when he has time." ”

"In that case, then I have time to take a look at this Kang Youwei article!" Emperor Guangxu nodded slightly and said, "If Ren Aiqing has nothing to do, let's retire first!" ”

"Wechen retires!" Ren Chao retired first.

Seeing Ren Chao respectfully retreat, Emperor Guangxu said, "I have issued an edict before, if anyone can defeat the Japanese invaders and keep the capital division, I will make him the governor of Shandong, the Marquis of Jin, and enjoy the dazzling eyes." At this time, the Japanese invaders have been extinguished, and the danger of the capital division has been resolved. It's time for me to fulfill my promise, what do you think? ”

Sun Yuwen was the first to speak when he heard this, "Weichen thinks that Ren Chao should be the first to be the first in terms of the merit of exterminating the Japanese invaders." However, Ren Chao is too young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on the important task of governor of Shandong. "The governor of Shandong is also a feudal official, and now Ren Chao is only in his twenties, which is indeed younger.

Weng Tongyi originally thought that it was inappropriate to appoint the young Ren Chao as the governor of Shandong, but when he saw Sun Yuwen speaking out against it, he saw Li Hongzhang bowing his head and saying nothing. Obviously, he also supports Sun Yuwen's view. Seeing this, Weng Tongyi once again launched a bull temper, continued to sing a duet with these two guys, and stood up and played loudly, "Enlighten the emperor, the emperor has issued an edict before, and the hero of the extermination of the Japanese is the governor of Shandong. If you don't add Ren Chao, I am afraid that it will chill the meritorious soldiers and the people of the world, and I hope the emperor will think twice. ”

Emperor Guangxu couldn't help frowning, "What Master Weng said. I naturally understand, but this Ren Chao is indeed a little younger, and to serve as the governor of a province, neither experience nor prestige is enough. ”

"Playing the emperor, the old minister thinks that he is not young. In the Great Song Dynasty, children had the wisdom of floating. Sima Wengong has a plan to break the urn to save his children. Han Kongrong. Four-year-old let pear, know the gift of humility. Huang Xiang was nine years old and warmly served his relatives. Qin Ganluo was 12 years old and became the prime minister. Wu Zhouyu learned literature at the age of seven, practiced martial arts at the age of nine, and worshiped the governor of the navy at the age of thirteen. Han Huo went to illness, broke the Huns, sealed the wolf Juxu, worshiped the hussar general, and was only twenty years old. The old minister thinks that today's Ren Chao is my Qing Dynasty is the champion Hou, although he is young, but in terms of talent, he is a hundred times stronger than some old and incompetent ministers. Weng Tonggong said and glanced at Sun Yuwen and Li Hongzhang, obviously in Weng Tonggong's eyes, Sun Yuwen and Li Hongzhang were the old and incompetent ministers.

"Qi Shengshang, Ren Chao has the talent to govern the army, there is no doubt about it, but the post of governor of Shandong is to be in charge of the military and political power of a province, although Ren Chao has the talent to command the army, but he may not have the way to govern the world, so Weichen thinks that the post of governor of Shandong should also be selected as a meritocrat." Sun Yuwen did not give up and continued.

Emperor Guangxu saw that the two were arguing again, and he was hesitant for a while, and turned his head to look at Prince Gong, "What does Uncle Huang think about this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Master Sun and Master Weng said is reasonable. In Weichen's humble opinion, it is better to let Ren Chao act as the governor of Shandong, set a certain period of time, if Ren Chao does a good job, it will be changed to actual teaching, if it is not good, the emperor will make it not too late to select talents! In this way, the emperor is not discredited to the world! Isn't it the best of both worlds? "Yi? After thinking about it, he replied respectfully.

"Uncle Huang's mention is good, then take half a year, let's see how this Ren Chao's political achievements are being decided!" Emperor Guangxu originally had the intention of reusing Ren Chao, but he was afraid that someone would oppose it. Proposing such a way to get the best of both worlds, Emperor Guangxu naturally gladly accepted it.

"In that case, then draw up a will! Ren Chao has meritorious service in destroying the Japanese, promoted to the first-class loyal and brave marquis, hereditary replacement, rewarded with dazzling eyes, and acted as the governor of Shandong! Emperor Guangxu said loudly.

"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers said in unison. Li Hongzhang sighed deeply in his heart, but the holy will of Guangxu has been decided, what can Li Hongzhang say? For Ren Chao, Li Hongzhang still can't fully trust him, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to let him serve as the governor of Shandong.

"Your Majesty, when will Ren Chao take up the post of acting governor of Shandong?" Weng Tongyi, who was in charge of the drafting, hurriedly asked.

"Go to work now!" Emperor Guangxu said casually.

"But Ren Chao is still responsible for negotiations with Japan." Weng Tongyi said hesitantly.

"It's okay to let the Japanese go to Shandong to negotiate with Ren Chao, but now the Japanese are in a hurry to negotiate, and we are not in a hurry. If there is any progress in the negotiations, Ren Chao can report to the prime minister's yamen by telegram, or directly to the emperor. "Yi? At this time, he interjected.

"Uncle Huang is right, now it is the Japanese who are begging us to negotiate peace, and nothing can be left to them! After that Mutsu Zongguang arrived, let him go directly to Shandong to negotiate with Ren Chao! Emperor Guangxu nodded and said when he heard this.

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers responded in unison.

"I'm also tired, if you Aiqing don't have anything else, let's retire first!" Emperor Guangxu said casually. Emperor Guangxu rushed back to Beijing from Rehe, drove for a few days, and was busy for most of the day today, and he was indeed a little tired at this time.

"Wait for the resignation!" When the ministers heard this, they retreated.

After the ministers retired, Emperor Guangxu casually ordered, "Go to Jingren Palace!" Then he got up and strode out. It is said that there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, but the Guangxu Emperor in front of him only has one queen and two concubines, and this Jingren Palace is the bedroom of the Guangxu Emperor's favorite concubine Zhenfei.
