In the city of Beijing, a heavy rain suddenly fell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This heavy rain seems to have enveloped the whole of northern China, from outside the customs to inside the customs. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the city of Sijiu, there was also the sound of rain. This sudden rainstorm only caused the gutter of the flowing water in the city to rise instantaneously, and washed away the dirt in the gutter, and the rainstorm also made the sultry weather in the capital refreshing.

The wind is rolling the rain, the rain is sandwiching the wind, the old locust tree and the big willow tree on the side of the road are swept by the wind and rain, it looks so refreshing, the stuffiness in this weather seems to be swept away by the wind and rain, but the people's hearts are not refreshed by the heavy rain, especially in the inner city where the children of the Eight Banners live, although it is raining heavily, but the teahouse in the inner city is still crowded with people.

The reason why these people will run to the teahouse when it rains heavily is to inquire about the news, to inquire about the news from outside the customs, these days, the things of the Great Qing Kingdom are one after another, but there is nothing to do outside the matter, which is even more worrying, that place is the Longxing land of my Great Qing Kingdom.

Even if these Eight Banners disciples who have not been out of the customs for more than 200 years and have long forgotten what the so-called hometown of Kanto is like, as soon as they hear that their hometown is occupied by thieves, their hearts will naturally become concerned. Although the White Mountains and Black Waters have been in these places for more than 200 years, although the self-proclaimed Manchurians have in fact long been sinicized, and even the "ancestral foundation" of the "White Mountains and Bad Waters" has gradually become alienated and rejected, in any case, it is always their hometown, and it is always the spiritual destination of people in a certain situation.

In addition to concern, I don't know when, I don't know from whose mouth, but a news is spreading in people's mouths, and that news is simple. It is nothing more than words such as the collusion between the local governor and Tang Rebellion. This kind of discourse actually came from the time when the "Eight Governors Discuss the Government" was passed down from generation to generation. It has already spread among the banner people, and what corroborates it seems to be that the current Beiyang Yamen is unfavorable for rebellion, and it seems that the rebellion is unfavorable entirely because the Beiyang minister does not do his best, and it is entirely because the Beiyang minister wants to "use the rebellion to force power".

"Hey, those Hanchen can't be relied on, can we point to their Han people in the world?"

"Yes, yes. According to me, Li Hefei may not even have sewn the dragon robe now, just waiting for the change of dynasty to be the emperor's ......."

"The emperor can take his turn, don't you have Zhang Nanpi!"

"Zhang Nanpi, hey, too, if this Li Hefei and Zhang Nanpi add a Tang rebellion, this person fights, maybe in the end, this will be cleaned up by Lafayette!"

"Not really. Among the disloyalty of these eight governors, they are acting against the sky. With Galeries Lafayette in the center, how long can they be rampant......"

Just when everyone in the teahouse was talking about the disloyalty of the "Eight Governors", and when they were talking about their expectations for the future, there was a person in the heavy rain who hurriedly walked over, the person's face was pale, the person had just entered the teahouse, and someone immediately surrounded him without waiting for Xiao Er to greet him.

"What, Third Master Rui, do you have any news?"

"It's Rui Sanye, you are on an errand in the military department, this will ......"

Just when everyone asked, the middle-aged man who was called "Rui Sanye" suddenly howled and cried, crying miserably, and even the snot cried out.

"Yulu misled the country, the sin is unforgivable!"

After the crying stopped, the "Rui Sanye" suddenly roared again.

"Yuro? Who is Yuro? ”

As soon as the unknown person heard him Rui San say this, he immediately asked hurriedly.

"Isn't it the Hitara with the white flag? Yulu, the current General Shengjing! ”

As soon as they heard that it was General Sheng Jing, the hearts of others were all shocked and asked again and again:

"This Hitara? What happened to Yulu? ”

This person is "General Shengjing", what did he do to make Rui San'er, who is usually the most heartless, annoyed like this.

"Yulu, Yulu, this dog slave actually carried his master behind his back and handed over Shengjing to Tang Yi......"

Before he finished speaking, Ruisan's words were seeded by everyone's words.

"Handed over to Tang Shun? How to pay it? Such a big Shengjing, how can you say that you can hand it over? ”

"That's it, such a big Shengjing City, how can he say it?"

"It's not just Shengjing City, it's the entire Fengtian, and the entire Fengtian Province has let him hand over Yulu to Tang Yi......"

"This dog slave, losing power and humiliating the country like this, should be killed!"

"No, this dog slave really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall! How dare you break the covenant of the Lord! ”

"Contract? I see, maybe it's Yulu's family who is thinking about getting an official position in the new dynasty of the Han people, and it may not be ......."

Not to mention the ordinary banner people, even the senior officials of the court also feel incredible about what happened in Mukden, which has been rebelled since ancient times, and there are local officials who surrender to the enemy, some martyrdom, and some escape, but they have never been like Yulu as a local Xinjiang official but "handed over the land" to the rebellion, and the hand was so neat and neat, and even directly handed over the entire Fengtian.

“…… The initialling of the "Provisional Charter of Fengtian and Earth" with the representative of Tang Rebellion stipulates: General Sheng Jing is still nominally the supreme governor of Fengtian and is still under the orders of the imperial court, but he no longer has any real power, and Tang Rebellion has set up a general manager in Fengtian to supervise it; The original banner camp, the green battalion, and the defense army in Mukden were all disbanded, and the weapons and barracks were confiscated or demolished......"

What the!

At the same time as an exclamation came from behind the curtain, the sound of the teacup breaking also reminded the people who were kneeling in His Highness, and the woman behind the curtain was frightened, and even through the yellow curtain, people could see that Cixi almost stood up without being surprised.

"Yulu is so incompetent, betraying the lord and handing over the land, is this still a courtier of our Great Qing Kingdom? When did our Great Qing Kingdom ever have such a minion! We Manchurians have lost all their faces! ”

No wonder Cixi is so angry, even if Yulu escaped, in her opinion, it can still be explained by his "timidity", the big deal is to cut off his head and correct the law, but this Yulu is like the "six no" governor Ye Mingshen who "did not fight, did not make peace, did not guard, did not go, did not surrender, and did not die" of the former emperor.

originally thought that this Han people could not be relied on. The Manchurians are at least their own family. But who would have thought that now even these Manchurians can't be relied on. If the Han people are unreliable, and the Manchurians themselves are not angry, and they are all like that Yulu who is cowardly before fighting, then what else does the Great Qing State have to do.

"Queen Mother, this Yulu does not fight, surrender or die, and hands it over to Fengtian, so that all parts of Fengtian Province cannot resist, his actions are hateful, and his actions are shameful. But after all, now the Tang rebel army is in its prime, it is really not something he can resist, and the reason why he handed over the land is also for the imperial court, after all, Fengtian is where Dongling is located, if he does not hand over the land, Tang rebel soldiers destroy Dongling, we will not be shameless to see the ancestors and ancestors......"

Gong Wang Yixun, who had just returned to serve as the foreman of the military aircraft, said a fair word for Yulu, and in fact, Yulu's dedication also mentioned his "handing over the land", but it was just a temporary expedient measure.

He said that Yulu was a mediocre person. But he is indeed loyal to the court, and now he endures humiliation and steals his life. It is also to protect the ancestral tomb from being damaged by the Tang Dynasty......"

Although he knew that what Yulu said was just a justification for his actions, and even to some extent, Yixun didn't believe that he Tang Haoran would risk the world's disapproval to destroy Donglin, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to take this risk, after all, it was not a time to rebel in the history books, and I don't know how many dynasties of the imperial tombs were destroyed by rebellion.

"According to this, not only is he Yulu without fault, but he has meritorious, Sixth Master, if all the minions in this world are like him Yulu, will the world of the Great Qing Kingdom want it or not!"

Compared with Yixun's exculpatory words for Yulu, although Cixi knew Yulu's hardships, she also knew that the face of the court was important now, if she found an excuse to hand over a province like this, the court would not punish her, and I really don't know what those ministers would say when the time came, but on the other hand, Yulu was also a slave of Manchuria after all, and he couldn't let his people be cold-hearted.

"Sixth Master, what do you say, what should this Yulu do?"

was asked by the Queen Mother, and Yixun, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly said.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Yulu should be beheaded according to the crime, but he is now in the enemy camp, and the ancestral spiritual bed still needs to be maintained, so the minister feels that he should be dismissed from his post to serve in order to protect the ancestral spiritual bed, if the ancestral spiritual bed is damaged, it will be severely punished......"

If Yulu heard King Gong's words, he would definitely be grateful, no matter what, his life was saved. And that sentence of severe punishment is not so much a severe punishment as it is connivance.

And between the question and answer between the queen mother and King Gong, the pale Guangxu sat on the dragon chair like a knuckle puppet, but he didn't have any ideas, in fact, today's mess was caused by him, the emperor, if he hadn't been instigated by the "traitorous ministers" at the beginning, how could there be today's chaos.

And when he heard the "dismissal and service", Guangxu's face changed again, in his opinion, Yulu's crime was unforgivable, but now he has no right to speak, he can only listen quietly on the sidelines, after all, whether it is the queen mother or King Gong, it is all to clean up the mess.

After talking about the disposal of Yulu, another unavoidable reality is in front of everyone, compared to Yulu's small role, for Cixi, how to block Tang Haoran's soldiers is the most important thing, and if you can't stop Tang Rebellious's chaotic soldiers, everything is empty talk.

"Sixth master, this Jinzhou is lost, Ningyuan City may not be able to hold it, although the mourning family is a woman's family, this military affairs should not be interfered with, but since the ancestors' Jiangshan Sheji has arrived here, the mourning family can't help but ask, this Ningyuan City is only a hundred and ten miles away from Yuguan, if this Yuguan is lost again, our Qing country's rivers and mountains ......"

Cixi didn't continue, but just stared at Yixun, staring at this King Gong who made her come back at the risk of being seized power, the last time he said that he wanted to trust Hanchen and keep the country of the Great Qing Dynasty, what about now? How can these Hanchens use it with ghosts in their hearts, of course, she can't say this, at least not now, who knows if she said this sentence today, and whether it will be spread to Tianjin, Jiangning, and Wuchang. And when it reaches the ears of those people, I don't know what it will become and what it will mean to be tasted.

"Eight Governors Discuss Politics" is a good move "Eight Governors Discuss Politics", when I saw him Tang Haoran that time, why didn't I expect him to have such a ability? Originally, some people said that he Tang Haoran couldn't be an official, let alone a man, but now in retrospect, Tang Haoran simply treated the whole dynasty as a monkey.

Back then, Yongzheng Ye would use what kind of "ancestral system" to make a "Eight Kings Discussion" demonic thing, but in the end, Zhang Tingyu broke it. Available today. This Tang Haoran pretended to talk about the chaos of the imperial court. launched a "Eight Governors to discuss politics", who can break it for the imperial court at this time, not to mention, how can today's Qing Dynasty be yesterday's Qing Dynasty?

At that time, the imperial court was "one word and nine tops", and now the court can not "say nine tops", thank God! In the past, the imperial court could only maintain the balance of Xinjiang officials, whether it was the center or the locality. Everyone maintained a semblance balance, and the ministers were respectful. But now it's good, he Tang Haoran has made a "Eight Governors to Discuss Politics", although the Xinjiang officials don't talk much now, but even in the deep palace, Cixi also knows that these eight governors are waiting there, waiting for the court to break the last layer of window paper.

But how can this layer of window paper be pierced, once that layer of window paper is pierced, is this Great Qing Kingdom still a Great Qing Kingdom? When the time comes, won't the court become an ornament?

It is precisely for this reason that these "eight governors discussing politics" must not be accepted unless they have to. But if you don't accept the "Eight Governors and Politics", who can keep the Qing Dynasty? Cixi, who was in a dilemma, could only pin her full hopes on King Gong. After all, it was King Gong who saved the Qing Dynasty.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the Beiyang Yamen has selected elite troops to garrison Yuguan, with 20,000 troops to defend Yuguan, supplemented by heavy artillery, it will be able to protect Yuguan without losing ......"

Yi Xun hurriedly repeated Li Hongzhang's words in the Feng compromise one by one, 20,000 troops guarded the pass, this is Li Hongzhang's troops that were finally transferred, since the Liaoyang Battle Zuo Guigui was killed, and the elite of the Feng army was lost, the previous imperial court advocated "swift attack, preemptive strike", it has become a joke.

Li Hongzhang, who was the minister of Beiyang, took the opportunity to advocate "first setting the defensive situation, and then trying to forge ahead." If he attacked Seoul, "he must add strength to 100,000 soldiers, and he can make achievements by taking steady and prudent steps." Even if the imperial court opposes this proposition, it can only nod and say yes, after all, the only one who can fight in this world is Beiyang, he Li Hongzhang said so, then do it!

Although the imperial court agreed with Li Hongzhang's method, it did not mean that the imperial court had no ideas. Lakh...... Even if the imperial court squeezes out these 100,000 strong soldiers now, how can he Tang Haoran give the imperial court such a long time, of course, these are all later words, let alone others, even King Gong himself was also beaten and beaten by the fierce attack of the new army stationed in the DPRK for half a month, even if the Great Qing Dynasty was in China that year, the military might was only like this.

"He, Li Hongzhang, is very serious, this has added 100,000 people, and he is cautious and cautious. Not to mention how much silver it will cost, even if he has recruited these 100,000 soldiers, I am afraid that before he has recruited them, I am afraid that Tang Haoran's rebel army will hit the capital, and when the time comes, will the 100,000 soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom still be used? ”

Isn't this the reason, in the end, the silver of the Great Qing Kingdom was raised by his Li Hongzhang's soldiers, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was suppressed, Cixi stared at King Gong and asked.

"Send a message to Li Hongzhang and ask him to speed up the elite rush to help Yuguan! The important place of Yuguan Country must not be lost, and there is ......"

After a pause, Cixi continued as if she remembered something.

"In the past, when everyone wanted to run a water division, they all said that what was to protect Jinggi without losing it, but now, this Tang rebel army is about to hit the eyes, what about this Beiyang naval division? Sixth master, you have to take this matter to heart! ”

It looked like a soft-spoken order, but there was a heartfelt dissatisfaction between the words, if Li Hongzhang was here, he would have been scared into a cold sweat, but now this will be disturbed by the "difference between the Manchus and the Hans" and the "Eight Governors" The court has to do everything possible to maintain the heart of the Xinjiang officials, at most, it is like this nagging.

But now, even if this word spreads to Tianjin, I am afraid that it will no longer make him scared and "tremble like chaff", which is precisely the difference between the ministers and the ministers, and even together with Cixi, when he said this, he still had some scruples, and he didn't even directly mention that the Beiyang Navy Division would send troops, but just let King Gong "serve snacks".

"Queen Mother, this Lushun has been lost, the ammunition of the sailor is difficult to use, it is difficult to use it for a while, the Navy Yamen and Li Hongzhang have both apologized, and the minister thinks that it is still not appropriate to pursue the good ......."

Yi Xun as in the past and the mud, in fact, this is his shrewdness, when the bandits, he relied on this kind of mud, when the ministers said that Zeng Guofan was disloyal, he opened his eyes for it, willing to help the court, so that Zeng Guofan only reciprocated with loyalty. As shrewd as he is, he will also know that now in the court, he can only be so harmonious, otherwise he will cause some trouble. It's not something he can manage.

Although he advocated the appointment of Hanchen. But in his bones, he was suspicious of Hanchen. It is precisely because of this that he will be vigilant against the Xinjiang officials headed by Li Hongzhang and show favor in every way, so that he is not as comfortable as he was with Zeng Guofan back then, after all, the imperial court still had some authority back then, and now? In addition to this capital, there are also the Northeast and Mongolia, and the world of the Great Qing Kingdom is all Hanchen's.

"And. Queen Mother, since now Tang Rebel is pointing directly at Gyeonggi, it is better to let Li Hongzhang preside over it, and in the opinion of the ministers, I still have to invite Li Hongzhang to come to the capital! ”

Invite him now, will he come? Not to mention Cixi, now even Yixun, who thinks he knows Li Hongzhang, can't help but doubt it, in the past half a month, the imperial court has already edicted him Li Hongzhang three times!

If you don't come again, what will happen to the court?

Heavy rain fell on the sedan chair and soaked the sedan clothes. Thanks to the sedan chair being lined with a layer of oilcloth, the sedan chair is still dry. Sitting in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, Yixun's face looked very ugly, and he no longer needed to be as careful in front of the queen mother as he did before when he left the palace.

Only when he is behind the people, he will reveal the worries in his heart, and now he has no time to even think about what Britain and Germany and other countries have expressed neutrality, nor have he thought about any "eight governors centrifugation", and there is only one thought left in his mind - Li Hongzhang!

What is he thinking about now?

After more than 30 years of friendship, Yixun knows Li Hongzhang very well, he Li Hongzhang is a loyal minister, in the Qing Dynasty, if there is no Zeng Li and Li teachers and students, I am afraid that the Qing Kingdom would have ceased to exist long ago. But even if this is the case, can he Li Hongzhang believe it? Just like Zeng Guofan, they were forced to choose to be loyal ministers back then, if there was no Zuo Zongtang, no Li Hongzhang and other people to control the elbow, how could there be Zeng Guofan's loyalty?

Without the mutual restraint of the Hanchens, these Hanchens would have taken away the country long ago. But now, the Hanchen were forced by the imperial court to help each other in order to protect themselves, and Li Hongzhang simply chose to preserve his strength. As for how the Qing Congress is, I'm afraid he really hasn't thought much about it.

"No!"

Shaking his head, Yixun said to himself in his heart.

"With Li Er's shrewdness, don't you know that only the imperial court can maintain the situation now? If there is no imperial court, these eight governors, plus one Tang Haoran......"

Thinking that although those Hanchen are centrifugal, they are all very shrewd and call "King Qin" but do not act, aren't they just waiting for something? Waiting for the court to give in? Or wait for Tang Haoran to tear everything to shreds before coming forward to clean up the situation!

"Li Er, Li Er......"

Yu muttered on his lips, Yixun's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, now the imperial court has no restraint on it, or it is simply a desire to control it and is powerless, seeing Tang Haoran forcing the capital, but he Li Er is still there "slowly drawing", whether he is Tang Rebellious, or the court is afraid that only he can understand.

In this case, he naturally will not come to the capital, and now that the Queen Mother has been summoned again, what should he do? To please or not to please? If it refuses again, where will the court's words end?

Thinking about it, the sound of raindrops falling on the sedan chair is from time to time into the ears of Yixun, sitting in the sedan chair that shakes with the sedan car, the sadness on the face of the sad Yixun is even stronger, and even until the sedan car arrives at the palace, the sadness on his face is still not gone.

"Master, Lord Duan Fang Duan has been waiting for you!"

Just when the sedan chair fell, and Yixun's face returned to normal again, without a trace of sadness, when the slave was working hard through the sedan curtain, Yixun, who walked out of the sedan chair, heard Duanfang's words.

"The minion has seen the prince,"

When I looked up, I saw Duan Fang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, kneeling in the rain, drenched in the rain.

"Duanfang, hurry, hurry up, look at this!"

For the end in front of him, Yixun has a very good impression, the reason is still the chaos of dealing with Tang Haoran at the beginning, if the emperor listened to his words at that time, how could there be today's disaster.

"Lord Wang, the slave invites the prince to confide in Li Zhongtang, and invites Li Zhongtang to go to Beijing! Today's world cannot be maintained unless Li Zhongtang, and today's Qing Dynasty cannot be saved unless Li Zhongtang! ”
