"Are you alright, sir?" Ling'er heard Ren Chao's shouting outside, walked to the door and asked timidly.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Ren Chao replied casually, and seeing that there was no movement outside the door, he turned his head and glared at the elf angrily and said, "Didn't you block our voices?" ”

"My voice is blocked, hehe!" The elf said with a smile.

"Damn!" Ren Chao couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, Ren Chao was completely convinced of this undisciplined guy. After that, no matter how this guy teased Ren Chao, Ren Chao always ignored him, and looked like I killed you with silence.

Early the next morning, Ren Chao received the holy decree of Emperor Guangxu, a total of two holy decrees, one was to order Ren Chao to be responsible for the negotiations with Japan, and the other was naturally to add officials to Ren Chao. What a first-class marquis, what dazzling eyes, these Ren Chao didn't pay attention to it at all, Ren Chao was most concerned about the post of governor of Shandong. Fortunately, Emperor Guangxu did not disappoint Ren Chao this time, and was really promoted to the position of acting governor of Shandong, although he was only acting and acting, but he was finally the governor of Shandong. As long as you do a good job, isn't it a matter of time before you become a regular?

The position of governor was originally only a second-rank official rank, but since the Qianlong period, the governor of Shandong has concurrently served as the governor of Shandong, and in the Daoguang period, he has added and is also in charge of Shandong salt affairs. Because the admiral is from the first rank, the official rank of the governor of Shandong has also been promoted to the first rank.

Although Ren Chao was already a commander before, he was only a registered commander and was not actually awarded. And even if he is a provincial governor, he is only in charge of military affairs and does not care about political affairs. And this Shandong governor is different, it is a monopoly of military and political power, and one side is a feudal official.

Ren Chao, who got what he wanted, was very happy at this time, originally Ren Chao also thought that if Emperor Guangxu didn't know each other, Ren Chao might take some violent means, such as directly rebelling and the like. But since Emperor Guangxu knew each other so well, Ren Chao didn't care about letting him sit on the throne for two more years.

After being added to the official rank, according to the rules of the time, it was inevitable to enter the palace to thank him. At this time, Ren Chao was very happy, and went to the Forbidden City in the afternoon of the same day.

When Emperor Guangxu saw Ren Chao, he naturally had to encourage him, what should he do after he arrived in Shandong! Something like that, Ren Chao only went in and out of his left ear, although he was respectful on the surface, he didn't put this emperor in his eyes at all.

"Ren Aiqing, the 10,000-word book you forwarded to me from the eighteen provinces. I've seen it. Emperor Guangxu said with a stern face, "As Aiqing said, this Kang Youwei has some arrogant words in the Book of Ten Thousand Words. ”

"Playing the emperor, although Kang Youwei is a little arrogant, but the eighteen provinces raised their sons to jointly write to the emperor, and there is still a full patriotic heart." Ren Chao said honestly.

Emperor Guangxu nodded slightly, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, although some of Kang Youwei's remarks are a bit arrogant. But some of the ideas about strengthening the army and enriching the country are still good. It's just the law of the ancestors, and it can't be changed lightly! Speaking of this, Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness. In fact, being an emperor is not as good as imagined. Although the emperor is high, he cannot do whatever he wants. Not to mention this Guangxu Emperor who has no real power, even some of the more famous monarchs in history will be affected by this. Such restrictions and constraints.

"In the Book of Ten Thousand Words, Kang Youwei once mentioned that 'stealing is the rule of the present, and the world should be governed by the momentum of creation, and the world should not be governed by the momentum of defending; Let the world be ruled by the power of nations standing side by side. It is not appropriate to rule the world with the momentum of unification. Cover the creation of the update of Baidu, the rate of compliance by the old chapter. When the nations stand side by side, they compete for strength and wisdom; Dominate the drape. then do nothing. The rate of speech is forced by the outside in disguise, and it will not be able to keep it; If you don't do anything, the nations will fight each other, and they will be torn apart. "Yi" said: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful." Dong Zhongshu said: "It is reasonable to not adjust the government, or even worse." "If the law of the ancestors is immutable, then how can Emperor Zhang of my ancestor not change the law of Emperor Taizongwen? If the old law of Babel is still used as the rule, then how can I be in peace and stability for a long time? Those who do not change the law and are bullied by the powers, cut off the territory of the ancestors, tamed to death, and change the law and glorify the temple of the Patriarch, can be very strong, which is more important, which is more important, and which is the one who gains and which loses. Weichen thought that what Kang Youwei said was reasonable. Ren Chao replied.

"If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful!" Emperor Guangxu muttered thoughtfully.

"Weichen thinks that in today's situation, the Western powers have coveted our Celestial Empire for a long time, and they all want to carve up our Celestial Empire, and changing the law and improving ourselves is the only way out today." Ren Chao bowed and said.

Emperor Guangxu didn't seem to hear Ren Chao's words, picked up Kang Youwei's book of ten thousand words, opened it and looked at it for a while and said, "This Kang Youwei put forward six policies for enriching the country in the book of ten thousand words, 'There are six laws for enriching the country: the banknote law, the railway, the machine and the boat, the mine, the silver, and the post. 'What does Aiqing think?' ”

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, this is a good policy for a rich country." Ren Chao replied honestly that Ren Chao had carefully studied this book of 10,000 words before, and he basically agreed with Kang Youwei's six policies for enriching the country.

Emperor Guangxu nodded slightly, and then discussed some specific details with Ren Chao. Although Emperor Guangxu was a little moved, he also knew that this matter was important, but it was not something he could do, and he still needed to consult with the ministers of military aircraft when he had time, and he also had to ask for instructions from Cixi Lafayette, who nominally lived in the Summer Palace for a long time, but in fact always paid close attention to the government. "This matter is very important, Rong Zhen is thinking about it. If there is nothing else, Ren Aiqing will retire first! Emperor Guangxu sighed softly and said.

"Wechen retires!" Ren Chao said and retreated respectfully. After leaving the palace, Ren Chao went to see Li Hongzhang again, mainly to resign to Li Hongzhang, because Ren Chao was the acting governor of Shandong and took office immediately, and Ren Chao didn't want to stay in Beijing longer, so he decided to go back to Shandong first.

"Zifeng! You've come just in time. Li Hongzhang was very happy to see Ren Chao and beckoned Ren Chao to sit down. I heard that the emperor has issued an order to let Zifeng act as the governor of Shandong, congratulations! Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

"I can't hide anything from Lord Zhongtang, and I came here this time, firstly, to thank Lord Zhongtang for his promotion, and secondly, to resign to Lord Zhongtang." Ren Chao said politely.

"Yes! You're going to Shandong to take up a post, and the old man is going back to Tianjin! Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "Even if you don't come, the old man is about to talk to you!" ”

"I wonder what Lord Zhongtang has to say?" Ren Chao asked respectfully. (To be continued......)
