Chapter 541: The Great Fool
Zhang Mingqi quickly gave the imperial court an excerpt, in which he praised Chen Baxian for his loyalty to the country and his support for the orthodoxy of the imperial court. However, Emperor Guangxu canonized him as the governor of Guangxi, which made Chen Baxian quite excited, so Lord Zhang talked with Lord Chen many times. Because Mr. Zhang's ideological work was very good, Mr. Chen did not accept the canonization of Emperor Guangxu, but Mr. Zhang felt that for the sake of safety, he should abdicate and make way for Xian, and Chen Baxian should serve as the governor of Guangxi.
Zhang Mingqi's excerpt is very credible, because after Emperor Guangxu canonized Chen Baxian as the governor of Guangxi, Chen Baxian did not accept it. Lord Chen said in the telegram that as a soldier, he would only focus on military affairs, and if a foreigner dared to invade him, he would fight a bloody battle. If turmoil breaks out in the country, Lord Chen will not move.
The regent Zaifeng saw Zhang Mingqi's excerpt and immediately convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, was promoted to the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi, was promoted to the governor of Liangguang, and at the same time, Emperor Xuantong decreed that Chen Baxian, the governor of Nanyang Navy, was promoted to the governor of Guangxi, and concurrently served as the governor of Nanyang Navy.
Emperor Guangxu and Emperor Xuantong issued an order at the same time, and Lord Chen had no reason to refuse, so he gladly accepted two holy decrees. The imperial court expressed dissatisfaction with this, but Lord Chen quickly explained that if he did not accept the canonization of the first emperor Guangxu and only accepted the canonization of the imperial court, it would be contrary to the previous attitude of not helping each other, and would be scolded by the people of the world, which was a last resort.
This explanation barely worked, and the imperial court wanted to win over Lord Chen, who was in charge of the naval army, so he had to acquiesce in this matter. After the matter was settled, Lord Chen led the newly formed team of the Broken Prisoner Army to board the warship, landed in Qinzhou under the escort of the naval division, and then rushed to Guilin Mansion to take office.
Ying Yu was furious when he learned the news, Huang Shaohong mentioned that he had already looked for Zhang Mingqi in the future, why did this result happen? Chen Baxian was not only appointed by the imperial court. And even Emperor Guangxu's holy decree was accepted, and this kind of behavior at both ends of the head and rat was indifferent to the court! Guangxu, who was used, did not even take back the holy decree.
Chen Baxian easily secured the position of governor of Guangxi, what will he use to compete with Eagle Feather in the future? Aside from the fact that there are more players in the base area than the opponent, Eagle Feather doesn't feel that he has any advantage. Just like when he was in Huangpu, Chen Ba first suppressed him in the name of the imperial court, and he became extremely passive again.
After this incident, Ying Yu paid more attention to Huang Shaohong. He called Huang Shaohong to the base area to ask for advice. Huang Shaohong pondered for a long time and said: "My lord, Chen Baxian is now the governor of Guangxi, and we have no chance to compete with him in Guangxi. ”
Ying Yu said with a pale face: "I gave up Guangdong to start a foundation in Guangxi, and Guangxi has no place to stand, where should I go in the future?" ”
Eagle Feather said that there is no place to stand a cone, there are countless players in the game, and not everyone needs a province to develop. Eagle Feather is different, he is a child of a top family, and not long after the game starts, the children of the major families acquiesced to the territory of development. He jumped from Guangdong to Guangxi because there were no children of the great family here. If he loses Guangxi again, he will inevitably become a laughing stock if he goes to other provinces for development.
Eagle Feather is arrogant, of course he can't stand this kind of anger, and he will also be suppressed if he takes people to other people's territory. Just when he was flustered, Huang Shaohong shook his head and said, "We are not qualified to compete with Chen Baxian in the entire Guangxi, but we don't have to leave Guangxi." At present, there are not too many troops, and there is enough to settle in one province, so you can consider letting the land of one province break away from Guangxi and be loyal to Emperor Guangxu. In this way, it can be exempted from the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi. ”
Eagle Feather seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and he hurriedly said, "How to operate it?" ”
Huang Shaohong smiled indifferently and said: "Emperor Guangxu was taken to Yunnan by Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Therefore, if you want to be loyal to Guangxu, it is best to border Yunnan, so that if Chen Ba crusades first, Xiliang will come forward. Both Sicheng Mansion and Zhen'an Mansion are eligible, and the adults also have a foundation in these two prefectures, and they usually send a lot of money to the two prefects, so this time I have to make up my mind on them. ”
"The two prefects can buy them with money to give them some small favors, but if they do not obey the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi. Declaring allegiance to the Guangxu Emperor required additional benefits. The adults must send someone to Yunnan, if they can get close to the celebrities around Emperor Guangxu, it will be basically no problem to let Guangxu promote the official positions of the two prefects. ”
Huang Shaohong's words made Ying Yu wake up, and the two prefects took the initiative to take refuge, and Emperor Guangxu would definitely reward them. If you can be promoted and make a fortune. I believe that the two prefects are also willing to gamble and be loyal to Guangxu to see if there is a chance to soar. If these two prefectures are loyal to Guangxu, Chen Baxian dares to wave his army to suppress it, that is to oppose Guangxu and Xiliang, and Yunnan will not sit idly by.
With the territory of these two prefectures, and with Huo Quzhi, who controls Nanning Mansion, it is impossible for Chen Ba to dominate Guangxi alone. As for sending someone to Yunnan to contact Ying Yu, he was not worried, he could realistically ask Long Fei directly for help. Long Fei mixed well under Xiliang, and this time he was the hero who suggested that Xiliang greet Guangxu, and he came forward to beg Guangxu to canonize the two NPC prefects without any problem.
Now the biggest competitor is Chen Baxian, I believe that Long Fei does not want Chen Baxian to dominate Guangxi, he is definitely willing to help with this. Thinking of this, Ying Yu quit the game, and then dialed Long Fei's phone, and after paying some price, Long Fei agreed.
Long Fei was accompanying Guangxu back to Yunnan, he had been worried about what would happen, and he was relieved that the team had left Guizhou. Guangxu was already surprised that he was already surprised that Chen Baxian was the governor of Guangxi, but the court also issued an order to canonize him, and Chen Baxian received two holy decrees at the same time and was still accepted, which made him a little incomprehensible.
When Chen Baxian accepted the canonization of Guangxu and Xuantong at the same time, Long Fei kept observing Guangxu's reaction, but Guangxu always talked and laughed. After agreeing to help Ying Yu win the canonization of the two governments, Long Fei said to Guangxu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is a great grace for you to appoint Chen Baxian as the governor of Guangxi. He was ambiguous at first and did not accept the appointment, and only after the imperial court issued an order did he agree to serve, this person is only afraid that he will not be reliable! ”
Guangxu waved his hand and said, "Long Aiqing doesn't have to worry, he explained this matter to me in advance when I decreed the appointment of Chen Aiqing as the governor of Guangxi. Chen Aiqing was loyal, and he thought that there were fewer governors who supported me, so he made a plan to take Guangxi into my hands. Let me canonize him as the governor of Guangxi to stimulate the anti-thief Zaifeng, and let Zaifeng promise benefits in order to win him over, so that Chen Aiqing can take Guangxi without blood. ”
Chen Aiqing is really clever, and now he has easily taken over Guangxi and mastered the military and political power in Guangxi. Guangxi is adjacent to Yunnan, and it is a strategic place to enter in the future, and it is much more reassuring to have Chen Aiqing in charge. ”
Long Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this, this reason is too strong! Chen Baxian actually told Guangxu from the beginning that he was going undercover. Such nonsense can only coax Guangxu, Long Fei absolutely doesn't believe it, the truth is that Chen Baxian wants to please both sides. But Emperor Guangxu was fooled, and Long Fei had nothing to do about it, who called Chen Baxian Guangxu's savior?
Long Fei thought for a moment and quickly caught a loophole, he sighed and said: "Weichen is still not at ease, if Lord Chen really wants to master Guangxi for His Majesty, now he has achieved his goal." In order to strengthen His Majesty's momentum, he could have telegraphed that Guangxi supported His Majesty, why did he not move now? ”
Guangxu said with a smile: "Long Aiqing should know that there was a fast horse coming to report the news yesterday, it was a messenger sent by Chen Aiqing." Chen Aiqing said that he does not have enough control over Guangxi now, and when he completely controls Guangxi in a few months, he will send a telegram to the outside world to express his full support for me. ”
"In addition, Chen Aiqing now has a close relationship with Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Liangguang, and Zhang Mingqi seems to have the intention of supporting me, and Chen Aiqing will contact Zhang Mingqi during this time. He said that it would be best to persuade Zhang Mingqi to be loyal to me, and if he couldn't convince Zhang Mingqi, he would take Guangdong by land and sea and then announce his support for me, so that my reputation would rise to a higher level. ”
"Zhen Nyima can fool!" Long Fei's heart was whistling past with 10,000 grass and mud horses, and Chen Baxian was playing futures psychology, making Emperor Guangxu look forward to getting greater benefits. Guangxu did not have much hope when he appointed him as the governor of Guangxi, but he really succeeded in mastering Guangxi, and now he said that he would master Guangdong and then support Guangxu, Guangxu was naturally convinced.
When Long Fei was pondering whether there were any other loopholes, Guangxu waved his hand and said: "Long Aiqing, you and Chen Aiqing are both my ministers of the humerus, I hope you will unite with the outside world and don't slander each other, you remember this matter." ”
Long Fei immediately dispelled the idea of continuing to say bad things about Chen Baxian, he knew that Chen Baxian's status in Guangxu's mind was much higher than his own, and if he continued to slander and cause Guangxu to dislike it, it would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Long Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean to target Lord Chen, he was just not familiar with him. Some time ago, I sent someone to contact Lu Zihao, the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture, and Huang Fayi, the prefect of Sicheng Prefecture, hoping that the two would call to support the emperor. Yesterday, the two of them replied to the news, and they both had the intention of supporting the emperor, but they were still a little wavering......"
Guangxu's eyes lit up and said: "This is a good thing!" Chen Aiqing can't openly support me now, and these two mansions are very good to take refuge on the surface. Long Aiqing, you go and draft two holy decrees for me, appointing Lu Zihao as the Guangxi envoy and the prefect of Zhen'an, and Huang Fayi as the political envoy of Guangxi and the prefect of Sicheng Prefecture, and there will be another reward in the future. ”
The appointment of Emperor Guangxu is also wonderful, and the political envoy and the envoy are relatively empty, so the two of them are also the actual position of the prefect. After Guangxu's appointment, as long as Yingyu's side worked harder, the two prefects could basically be exempted from the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangxi.
Just when Long Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he only heard Guangxu add: "In addition, give the two prefects a secret decree, so that they can oppose Chen Aiqing on the surface, but secretly obey Chen Aiqing's dispatch." (To be continued......)
