"Liu Aiqing, in the back party, Prince Alcohol is the father of Lian, Prince Li and King Qingjun are all relatives of the royal family, if Lian starts with his father, he will definitely be unfilial, if he starts with his relatives, he can't bear it, I don't know if Liu Aiqing has a clever plan, but he can seize power without hurting people." Guangxu faced Liu Yun and expressed his worries.

"This-" Liu Yun really didn't think about this question, and couldn't answer it for a while.

Wen Yi stepped forward and said, "The minister has a plan. ”

Guangxu hurriedly said: "Speak." ”

Wen Yi glanced at Liu Yun and said: "The emperor can ask the queen mother to summon everyone in the Hou Party into the palace, and then capture them in one fell swoop, and then tell them one by one to be righteous, so that they can be used by me, and those who do not obey will be beheaded, and the princes and princes will be obedient to the emperor when they remember the feelings of their relatives——"

"This plan is not feasible," Weng Tonghe interrupted Wen Yi, "how could the Queen Mother convene the Hou Party at the emperor's request?" Furthermore, if a person with a trick in his heart surrenders, and sends troops to ask for it after he returns, what if? ”

Wen Yi sent a smile to Weng Tonghe: "I have my own clever plan, and I will make the Queen Mother speak, and then the people who are surrendered by the party will not dare to rebel." ”

Liu Yun also said: "Even if I don't use Mr. Wen's plan, I can still capture the princes alive and never hurt them in the slightest." ”

Weng Tonghe shook his head: "In the rain of bullets, how can you be sure that you won't hurt people, in comparison, Mr. Wen's plan seems to be more appropriate." ”

Guangxu gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "As far as Dr. Yiwen's plan is concerned, at that time, Liu Commander will lead a unit to cooperate with the personal soldiers of the alliance to capture the Hou Party, and send another unit to raid the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion to capture the Admiral Erlan He, and go to the battalions under the jurisdiction of the Nine Gate Admiral to announce the holy decree of the Alliance, so that they can change their ways, listen to the orders of the Alliance, and defend all gates in the capital." ”

Liu Yun continued: "The minister can also surprise the elite troops to raid the northern camp of the Beijing Division, capture the Admiral Yulu, and announce the holy decree to the officers and soldiers, and seize the 5,000 men and horses to help the defense of the capital." ”

Guangxu nodded: "It's better, but I don't know how sure Commander Liu is?" ”

"Is 120% enough?"

"Good!" Guangxu looked around at everyone, his expression was nervous and excited, "Five days later, the coup d'état began, and how to deal with the situation after the coup still needs to be discussed carefully." Don't leave today, just eat here, and we will discuss the plan with the monarchs and ministers, regardless of the length of the night. ”

The crowd shouted, "Yes!" ”

※※※

In the middle of the night, the clouds hung low, and the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen, and the wind turned direction, blowing coldly from the north.

Liu Yun and the others resigned from Guangxu and were about to retreat, when Wen Yi suddenly shouted: "Who! ”

Everyone's eyes moved to what Wen Yi was pointing at, it turned out to be a little palace maid with refreshments, the palace maid was drunk by Wen Yi, hurriedly put down the refreshments, knelt down and apologized: "The slave is guilty, you shouldn't come in at this time to disturb, please be gracious to the emperor——"

Liu Yun exchanged glances with Wen Yi, then took a few steps forward and said, "Raise your head." ”

The palace maid slowly raised her head, it was the cardamom years, her face was as pink as a flower, and her pink skin was as tender as water, which made Liu Yun, who had been separated from his yellow-faced wife for more than a month, feel excited.

However, Liu Yun understood that the reason why he had to talk to this palace maid was because he doubted her identity. Wen Yi shouted loudly just now, the ordinary palace maid was already so frightened that she lost her plate, spoke incoherently, and was busy kowtowing to apologize, but this little palace maid was not in a hurry, and her conversation was orderly, at least she was not an ordinary woman.

Later, Guangxu said: "It's about a new little palace maid, I don't understand the rules, just spare her once, it's also that Lian didn't explain the guards well, forget it." ”

Wen Yi turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the minister sees that Commander Liu has moved Sifan's heart. ”

Liu Yunzheng secretly scolded this kid for what he wanted to do, Guangxu had already smiled and said: "So that's the case, if Commander Liu likes it, take it away, and it's a small reward from the power of the alliance." After the matter was completed, Miss Gege of the princely and aristocratic family was selected by Commander Liu and gave the royal marriage. ”

"Your Majesty—" Liu Yungang wanted to explain, but was pulled aside by Wen Yi and asked him to thank him: "The emperor has made an order, don't kneel down quickly." ”

In desperation, Liu Yun had no choice but to kneel down and say, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Guangxu said to the palace maid again: "You—what's your name?" ”

"The slave maid is called Chun'er."

"Chun'er, that's good," Guangxu rubbed his sleepy eyes, "In the future, you will be the person of Commander Liu, serve Commander Liu well, if you let Lianzhi Dao dare to resist the order, be careful to destroy the nine clans." ”

"Chun'er doesn't dare, thank the emperor for his kindness."

After Liu Yun got up, he twisted Wen Yi's leg hard, and Wen Yi grinned in pain, looking like he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

※※※

In Liu Yun's house, the embroidered tent was red, Chun'er changed into a big red dress, and sat on the bed with a brocade tent Hualuo uneasily, feeling confused in her heart, only feeling that her life was cheap and blessed, this time the task given by Lord Li was afraid that it would not be completed, and her splendid years would also be buried in the hands of the middle-aged man in his thirties.

With a "click", the door opened, and Chun'er's heart tightened, but she heard several people making noise and seemed to rush into the house together.

"Captain Liu, you can enjoy it, sixteen or seventeen-year-old tender tofu is enough for you, it's not too late for us to drink together tomorrow." Ding Jieyun and several brothers from the teaching team pushed Liu Yun into the room, but Liu Yun grabbed them and didn't let them go: "Hey, I'm not mentally prepared, it's just so casual, what's going on——"

Wen Yi came over and tore his hand away, and said, "Don't mother-in-law, the woman given to you by the emperor, do you dare to do it, we don't want to have this blessing, after tonight, there will be nothing to prepare——"

Everyone worked hard together, pushed Liu Yun to the side of the bed, and then turned around and ran out of the bed together, locking the door outside.

"Hey, what are you doing, looking for death—" Liu Yun screamed at the door.

Wen Yi said outside the door: "Good brother, I won't delay my business, I will call you on time tomorrow morning, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Yun tapped the door a few more times, but there was no movement outside the door, so he had to withdraw his hand and find a stool in the middle of the house to sit down.

"Your name is Chun'er, isn't it?" Liu Yun lit a cigarette and glanced at the girl sitting on the bed.

Chun'er was silent and lowered her head slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I won't touch you, I just don't think you are like an ordinary palace maid, so I want to take a closer look, but I didn't expect the emperor to give you to me like this-" Speaking of this, Liu Yun glanced at Chun'er and saw that she didn't react, so he continued: "You are very young and beautiful, and you are quite likable." I'm a guy in my thirties, I've long been a family, my daughters are ten years old, in the fourth grade of primary school, with top grades, three good students every year, well-behaved, can draw, can play the piano, sooner or later I am the material of a prestigious university, and when I go to high school, I will be about the same age as you——"

Chun'er was confused when she heard it, what elementary school, piano, famous university, high school, where did the words come from, and she knew that he was talking about his daughter - he should be a person with a wife and children, but why are they not here?

Suddenly seeing Liu Yun walking towards her, Chun'er hurriedly moved to the wall, scolding the stinky man in her heart for saying one thing and doing another.

"Don't get me wrong, I'll show you a picture of my daughter." Liu Yun took out a photo of her daughter concentrating on playing the piano from the inner pocket of her jacket and handed it to Chun'er.

"It's beautiful." Chun'er sighed, and then glanced at Liu Yun vigilantly, Liu Yun took a few steps back and sat back on the stool.

"It's very beautiful, she looks like her mother, she's a beauty, and it's going to be hard to deal with those little boys who pestered him in the future."

Chun'er was puzzled: "It's to deal with those ruffians and hooligans, how can everyone's daughters be entangled, don't you just ask the family to beat them away?" ”

Liu Yun said with a smile: "You don't understand, in our era, the child is over thirteen or fourteen years old, it's strange to listen to you all the time, where does she want to go, is it our turn?" Besides, I can't afford to support my family. ”

"What? Age? Chun'er fell into the abyss of mush again.

"Forget it, you don't understand. By the way, where are you from, Wen Yi drank you just now, you were not scared at all, you must not have come out of an ordinary family. ”

Chun'er complained bitterly in her heart, she was overly cautious and kept calm at all times, but she was exposed for this, which was really wronged.

Liu Yun noticed the subtle change in her expression, and suddenly accentuated her tone: "Or, you are simply a spy sent by someone!" ”

Chun'er was startled, at a loss for a moment, and suddenly forced herself to return to her normal state, and said softly: "What did the adults say, why don't the slaves and maids understand." ”

This moment of psychological upheaval had already been noticed by Liu Yun, which made him even more convinced of his suspicions.

Liu Yun got up suddenly, walked to the side of the bed, and faced Chun'er directly.

"Y-what do you want to do?" Chun'er panicked, her body had already been pressed against the wall, and she had nowhere to retreat, and her eyes couldn't help but flash with tears.

Liu Yun remained silent, stretched out his big hand and pulled a quilt from beside her, and threw it on the ground: "I'll sleep here tonight, don't worry, I said I wouldn't touch you." After saying that, he wrapped himself in the quilt, turned over and fell asleep.

Chun'er breathed a sigh of relief, picked up another quilt and lay down slowly, but her ears were still hot, and she couldn't sleep.

I don't know how long later, when I opened my eyes, the candlelight flickered, and I looked at the bed, where the middle-aged man was sleeping soundly with his head resting on the ground.

Chun'er grabbed a pillow next to her, thinking to herself, just give him a pillow, it won't be good.

Gently put the pillow behind his head, and took a look at the sleeping appearance of this mature man - how is it no different from the little brother at home, so he was about to go to chuang, but suddenly he grabbed his little hand, and he had no idea for a while.

"Wen, I'm sorry for you-"

Who is Wen? His wife? Perhaps, he was thinking about his wife in his dreams, so he must have loved his wife very much, but why did he separate from her?

Chun'er broke free of Liu Yun's hand, climbed onto the bed, covered the quilt tightly, her heart was pounding, her mind was full of questions about this middle-aged man, and she fell asleep like this.

Early the next morning, Wen Yi and the others opened the door and were about to make trouble with Liu Yun, but when they saw Liu Yun's serious face, they gave them an order: "Look at this girl, she may know a lot of things." ”

Ding Jieyun hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, captain." ”

"Wen Yi, come over here."

Liu Yun called Wen Yi and whispered: "She may be a spy sent by a certain senior official, sending someone to be an undercover agent by the emperor's side, and the person who dares to do this must be very powerful, I really want to know who this person is." ”

"It's simple, isn't it enough to interrogate her?"

"No, I want to stabilize her first and see if I can let her speak for herself in a peaceful way, so that we can get more and more reliable information."

"Do you want to win hearts and minds? We don't have time, we can use medicine, I brought a confession, and I promised to ask what she said honestly. ”

"It's medicine again," a trace of unhappiness crossed Liu Yun's face, "Last night you said that you had a clever plan to make the people who were surrendered by the party not rebel, you just wanted to use medicine." ”

"Yes, after using medicine to control them, they can continue to govern, and then gradually transfer key regimes such as the Military Aircraft Department and the Prime Minister's Yamen to the Imperial Party Group, and we are now part of the Imperial Party Group, so we also have a part. The advantage of this is that outsiders will not see the signs of a coup d'état, and everything will be carried out in a peaceful atmosphere, so that we can buy precious time to train our army and strengthen ourselves. ”

"You don't have much medicine with you."

"I calculated, and the medicine in reserve is enough for the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Party and the old man of Ci Xi for three months."

"And what about three months from now?"

Wen Yi shrugged: "Do you still need me to say it?" The Queen Mother and others died of a violent illness, and then a large number of tombs were built outside the capital, and a large amount of paper work was made in the capital, and the emperor may have to work a little harder, attending several funerals in a row, alas, I really can't bear it——"

Liu Yun snorted from his nose and said, "No matter what, you are not allowed to touch that girl, I will come back tonight after I am busy and see if I can make her speak in my way." ”

"Whatever you want—" Wen Yi spread his hands and watched Liu Yun leave.

"Hmph, is he stupid or crazy, is he under too much pressure?" Wen Yi muttered, took out a bottle of potion, and walked towards Ding Jieyun.

Tianjin, Zhili Governor's Palace, a sedan chair entered the hospital through the door and stopped in front of the inner hall.

"Father, you're back."

A middle-aged man in his forties greeted the sedan chair, and helped an old man with a sixtieth birthday to get off the sedan chair and walk to the inner hall.

"Fang'er, in the past few days I've been there, is the family still safe?" The old man sat down and said.

The middle-aged man replied: "Father, rest assured, everything is fine, I don't know what news my father heard in the capital?" ”

"What news can I hear, those familiar guards and eunuchs in the palace are dead, and those who are missing are missing. There was only one prince left, and he brought out the news that the White Lotus Sect attacked the Forbidden Palace, and there was a group of mysterious masters who stayed abroad to fight off the rebels and rescue them in time, and then that group of masters stayed in the Forbidden Palace to help the emperor train the guards, and I don't know if the Dao is true or not. ”

"Didn't you plan to send Chun'er to the emperor's side to listen to the news? She didn't find anything? ”

"Don't mention it, I only heard from the prince yesterday that the emperor rewarded her to a new guard commander the night before, as if she was one of those masters, it seems that we don't need her."

"Father, you promised me that after using her this time, you would reward me as a member of the house—this—"

"Shut up!" Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, said angrily, "All the people who have already started a family and started a business, they are still women in their minds all day long, and it is not enough to hide dozens of them in the courtyard, you will die if you don't have this one woman." ”

"But, Chun'er, she's different, she's more tender than those women—"

"If you're going to be mad at me, get out of here-"

Li Jingfang hurriedly retreated, and above the lobby, Li Hongzhang ordered loudly: "Please Commander Song, Admiral Ma, and General Jiang to come!" ”

"Wow!"
