Chapter 124: The Regent of the Qing Dynasty (II)
At present, Zaifeng's own ability can no longer stop the momentum of chaos, and he has not thought of using Zhang Zhidong's residual power in the court to alleviate the crisis. But after all, he drove him away from the court single-handedly, and now that he is in trouble, he has always been a little embarrassed to beg him again, and he can't pull this face. However, just when he was in a dilemma, Zhang Zhidong's handsome servant brought Zhang Zhidong's message, wanting to see him, saying that there was a countermeasure to help him solve the current crisis, originally he was hesitant, but after seeing the token engraved with the queen mother's protégé sent by Zhang Zhidong, he still decided to take a trip.
Because he had thought in advance that he would be humiliated, although he was very angry at the moment, he still endured this breath and slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor. After going up to the second floor, the scene in front of him made him stunned for a moment, he thought that there should be only one person in the room of Zhang Zhidong, but he didn't expect that there was one more person, and this person didn't seem to get up and salute after knowing his identity. Zaifeng, who was already angry, couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned dark, he snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and go downstairs.
"Lord Wang, aren't you ready to solve the current predicament?" Zhang Zhidong said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty has reached a crisis, and as a royal family, it is really disappointing to abandon the only chance to save the crisis of the Qing Dynasty just for a little face!"
"Lord Zhang, as a minister who cares for his life, has been favored by the emperor for many years, and now seeing the crisis of my Qing Dynasty, he even takes pleasure in humiliating this king, doesn't it make this king even more chilling. Zaifeng stood at the top of the stairs and sneered without showing weakness: "Hasn't Master Zhang always praised himself as the Empress Dowager's protégé? If you let the Empress Dowager Lafayette under Jiuquan know what you did today, I don't know if it will chill her old man's heart?"
"I don't think so. Xu Changqing, who was sitting on the side, suddenly smiled and said, "Since that Lafayette is not dead, how can he be chilled under Jiuquan?"
"Shut up, this king is talking to Lord Zhang, how can you, a common man, intervene!" Zaifeng glared at Xu Changqing angrily and scolded.
"Lord Wang, stop your anger! Zhang Zhidong stood up at this time, pointed at Xu Changqing, and said, "This is Mr. Xu Changqing." ”
"Hmph! Nameless!" Zaifeng snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Changqing, and was about to turn his head, when suddenly he seemed to think of something, his body seemed to have been stiffened by someone immobilizing him, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost, his head twisted back little by little, looked at Xu Changqing in disbelief, and asked Zhang Zhidong: "Lord Zhang, what do you say his name is?"
Zhang Zhidong was obviously extremely satisfied with Zaifeng's reaction, and said with a smile: "Xu Changqing!"
Zaifeng's face changed suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a gloomy face: "But Xu Changqing of Chen Jiachong in Shaoguan?"
"It's Xu!" Xu Changqing took the initiative to stand up and said with a fist at Zaifeng.
Hearing Xu Changqing admit it in person, Zaifeng couldn't help but gasp, and the first thought in his mind was that Zhang Zhidong united with others to take his life. But then he immediately vetoed this idea, not to mention Zhang Zhidong's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt about it, even if he wants to take his life, it should not be so blatant.
After connecting the joints, Zaifeng became calm, his face returned to normal, and he hugged his fists towards Xu Changqing and said: "I have long heard of the name of Mr. and Mr. Shi's family, and I am really fortunate to see him today, but because Mr.'s current appearance is too different from the rumors, I didn't recognize it for a while, I'm sorry!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Zhang Zhidong and reproached: "Lord Zhang, since you already know Mr. Xu, why don't you recommend it to the imperial court?" Don't you know that the Queen Mother Lafayette was a master of Mr. Xu's lineage back then, and she wanted to know about it?"
Seeing Zaifeng dissolving the invisible pressure around him in such an understatement, and also implicitly questioning Zhang Zhidong, which suddenly reversed the atmosphere in the house, Xu Changqing couldn't help but nod in admiration. This method of turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain is very usable, so it seems that it is no accident that Zaifeng can become the regent.
In the face of Zaifeng's reproach, Zhang Zhidong smiled indifferently and said: "It was Lafayette who wanted to seek talents, so he placed the old man in Huguang and Guangxi for so many years, and the old man also acted in accordance with Lafayette's will. ”
Hearing that Zhang Zhidong took out Cixi to talk about things, Zaifeng didn't want to say anything more, turned his head to Xu Changqing and asked, "What does Mr. just say that the Queen Mother Lafayette is not dead?"
"Didn't the Xuangang Heavenly Demon sue the prince?" Xu Changqing pretended to be surprised and said in a deep voice: "Not only is the Empress Dowager Cixi not dead, but even the Guangxu Emperor is not dead. ”
"What?" Because of the shocking news, Zaifeng forgot about Xu Changqing's disrespectful address to the two for a while, and exclaimed.
"Sit down and talk slowly!" Xu Changqing knew very well how deep the brotherly relationship between Zaifeng and Emperor Guangxu was, the two brothers were almost the same as one person, and they did not look like a ruthless emperor at all. The reason why Yuan Shikai was hated by Zaifeng was also because he had betrayed Emperor Guangxu, and it was undoubtedly a great surprise for him that Emperor Guangxu did not die.
Seeing Xu Changqing's casual look, the anxious Zaifeng couldn't help frowning, stood at the top of the stairs and hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked to the chair opposite Xu Changqing and sat down, his face was expressionless, but the sight in his eyes showed a little anxiety. In addition, because of this news, the people who were surprised were not only Zaifeng, even Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know the news in advance, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and he sat back next to Xu Changqing and looked at him with reproachful eyes.
"I don't know if the prince knows what the Nine Dragons win**?" After everyone sat down, Xu Changqing suddenly asked without a head.
Zaifeng didn't know what Xu Changqing meant by asking this, so he thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I know a little about this." Then he said solemnly: "If you want to say this, then you will speak in vain." ”
"Is it in vain to find out later?" Xu Changqing smiled slightly and said slowly: "It is recorded in ancient books that the dragon veins in the world are divided into ten, of which nine are hidden and one is obvious. The so-called Nine Dragons Winning ** is a special technique to attract the dragon energy of the nine hidden dragon veins to gather in the dragon vein, and use this domineering method to seize the dragon qi to make the dragon vein reborn, so as to extend the longevity of the dragon vein. The same hidden dragon vein can also be born in advance using this method, and with the help of the power of the dragon vein, so as to seize the world of others. In that year, the Tang Dynasty and the Zhu Dynasty were all using this method to change or extend the national fortunes. ”
