Chapter 30: Calm
Originally, Zhang Xun's restoration was used to seize power, and at this time, the news continued to spread, which also made several parties feel the seriousness of the situation.
Therefore, a few days earlier than in history, Zhang Xun brazenly launched an offensive, using the internal response to open the gates of Beijing and occupy all parts of Beijing.
On the same day, he convened a 'pre-imperial meeting' in the Qing Palace, and the next day he drove away Li Yuanhong, and carried the 12-year-old Pu Yi out to announce the restoration, renamed this year as the 'ninth year of Xuantong', electrified the whole country to hang the dragon flag, and appointed himself as the chief cabinet minister, and also the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang. Zai Ze was busy, and he also ended up with the title of "King of Yuke".
At this time, no one was paying attention to Lin Zhining, regardless of the government and the opposition, their eyes were focused on this restoration.
And a lot of rumors themselves are untenable, but it is only because many people have fueled the flames that they have caused a lot of noise, and this time it has been diverted, coupled with Li Ruidong's strong support, and Li Cunyi and others have come forward, all the rumors about Lin Zhining have become a joke.
Especially Zhang Xun's move, which just reflected the rumors released by Lin Zhining and others later.
Lin Zhining and the two senior brothers were celebrating to resolve the rumors, and Duan Qirui couldn't help it, although he was in league with him and wanted to monopolize the power, but now that the situation has changed, he can't afford to wait any longer.
After all, if Zhang Xun is expelled and the Manchu Qing is destroyed, he will be able to monopolize power as the prime minister, and if he is a submissive minister, he doesn't know which number one to go to.
How could this be acceptable to the ambitious Duan Qirui, coupled with the opposition from all walks of life at this time, some people continued to announce telegrams to crusade against Zhang Xun.
Because the news leaked early, and he himself had already prepared, on the second day of Zhang Xun's restoration, he telegraphed the whole country in Tianjin to form a rebel army, and he appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army. On the third day, he set out at Machang, officially started the battle on the fourth day, and attacked Beijing at dawn on the ninth day. On that day, Pu Yi, who had been the "Emperor of Beijing" for a few days compared to history, announced his abdication again.
This series of jaw-dropping farces came to an end, bringing a lot of harm to the people in Tianjin, and also bringing jokes after tea and dinner.
Although Wulin Zhong has never participated in it, he is still paying attention to the changes in national affairs during this time, and seeing a farce end in a hurry, he is afraid that his previous calculation of Lin Zhining will be revealed, so he is cautious for the time being, and there is no action, which makes Lin Zhining, who suddenly changed from noisy to calm, a little surprised.
And after the rumors disappeared, Li Ruidong also returned to Beijing, leaving Lin Zhining, who was about to come to thank him.
Maybe it was because of the previous push, or because of the inaction, there were no friends in Li Xingjie's mansion during this time, but he got a period of quiet.
After solving the trouble recently, Zhang Zhankui rarely came to the door, although the matter was resolved, but the Xingyi Bagua Gate still suffered a lot of blows, and he had to continue to work hard.
And Lin Zhining also calmed down, discussing martial arts with Li Cunyi every day, learning Xingyi Boxing and Baguazhang.
He learns very slowly, of course, this is only for him, for others, this is already a very demonic speed.
For two whole months, he stayed in Li Xingjie's mansion and never went out, honing his boxing skills wholeheartedly.
Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang routines, he has been very proficient, but he lacks some life and death training, and in the subtleties, it is not very smooth.
After all, in the way of martial arts, if you want to bring forth the new, you must practice martial arts to suit yourself.
Li Xingjie was also amazed that this young junior uncle was extremely talented, and in just two months, when it came to gossip alone, it was no worse than him.
You must know that he is a family student, after apprenticeship, he practiced martial arts very diligently, and after decades of kung fu, he was caught up in a short time.
However, he was not discouraged, but aroused his competitive spirit, and during this period of time, he listened to Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi, the two division commanders, and Lin Zhining constantly put forward some wonderful ideas, his martial arts cultivation was short, and he also made great progress, which also made Li Cunyi nod his head.
And Lin Zhining continued to learn from Li Xingjie during this time, and at first he still relied on his body to practice the strength obtained from the "Sun True Fire Sutra", and then gradually reduced the help of these two, and relied on his own practice of the inner family boxing method to compete with it.
Slowly, he was able to make a draw with Li Xingjie, which also made him very happy.
And what benefited him more was that the cultivation of the internal fist method was not worse than the top external kung fu in martial arts.
There will always be a time when the internal strength and body will be exhausted, but its own defense is superior, isn't it a big advantage.
Therefore, Lin Zhining practiced the inner boxing method, and it was even more crazy, even Li Cunyi and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, for fear that if he accidentally hurt himself, it would be very bad.
However, seeing that he got up early every morning and practiced boxing with vigor and vigor, he didn't say anything more, just sighed, what a talented martial arts wizard.
