Chapter 168 Recommendation
After arriving at the sky, King Duan, who received the news of the failure of negotiations, went to Xiyuan early to hand over the sign. When he met the queen mother in Leshoutang, he began to criticize Zhao Guanhou's fault. Read the novel to the website
"Laofu, I think this person must be re-operated, otherwise the people below will have no rules. A second-rank official, who is only Zhang Jing in the affairs office, dares to silence with foreigners. I heard that he had even fired a foreign gun, which would be crazy. If he didn't do it, and other ministers would follow suit, we would have no way to restrain him. I was originally expected to return Kang, Liang, Wang Xiaohang and others to Kang, Liang, and Wang Xiaohang, but now he was ruined by him. I think this person must not be tolerated."
Cixi did not like this nephew and nephew-in-law, including Prince Dun's father, Prince Dun, who was also a person who hated Cixi but was helpless. He hated the house and the nun, and did not believe what he said to him at all.
She knew that the criminals would never come back. If they could go back to Kangliang when they negotiated, they would be nonsense. As long as the priests who joined the church and committed a crime, the local government would be unable to restrain them, let alone if they had already boarded the ship of foreigners. Liang Rengong hid in the embassy of the Fusang people, where there was a former prime minister in Fusang. He was relocated and could not submit to anyone, so she never thought that this negotiation would be successful.
The reason why people were sent was to test the attitude of foreigners towards the emperor. On the Qing diary, the news came overnight, saying that the foreigners rejected all the requests made by Dajin. On the surface, Zhao Guanhou naturally broke the errand, but from the perspective of Cixi, this road-questioning stone had already played a role. Foreigners opposed the exchange of emperors, and the emperor was indeed on the same line as foreigners. It seemed that he was right to imprison him in Yingtai.
As for the rebellion with foreigners, Cixi only believed half of the words, but when she was in the Great Jin Kingdom, she didn't believe that anyone dared to use foreigners in the embassy. As for the rebellion, it was possible, and there was no blame for this. The foreigner rejected Emperor Yi, and it was normal for Zhao Guanhou to break up with the other party. If he talked and laughed and had fun with the Prussian minister, it would be no different from the general state-owned shares in the affairs office, so why would he do it?
Therefore, Cheng Yi was so angry that his eyes were full of fire, but Cixi was calm and calm, "Be steady. You are a prince at least, and you should be like a prince. What do you mean by such a rashness? The foreigners are not protesting about this matter now. Why can't you hold on to it? This is far from what you hate when you mentioned foreigners in the past. Why are you enlightened? You know you should learn to do the Westernization business?"
"Laofu, I don't mean that. I just think that this person is not good at doing things and messing up his errands, and he has to deal with it."
"How to deal with it? I have a sense of my ability, so you don't have to worry about it. I know very well what you are thinking in my heart, but this matter is determined by me, not by you. If you always think about those things you shouldn't think about, Cheng Yi! I will not waste your efforts to cure you!"
"I dare not!" Cheng Yi was very afraid of Cixi. In addition, what she thought was that the decision was the Empress Dowager, so she was even more afraid. Seeing that she did not blame Zhao Guanhou, she was angry with herself, so she had to kowtow to apologize. Cixi snorted and ordered Li Lianying to say:
"Go, call Lao Qing, this time his job is coming. What's going on in Shandong? Killing trains and tying foreign tickets. These people are going to rebel against God. The country is in trouble, and they still have to fight against foreigners. Shandong Governor Yu Xian really deserves to be killed! Chengyi, you see, this is what we should worry about. Hundreds of foreigners were robbed by bandits. If a few of them died, what a big mess they would have. Yu Xian's official is over!"
Chengyi, however, said, "Old Buddha, I think this is a good thing. Foreigners build railways in our place, covet our minerals, dig mountains and ripped ground, and alarmed the dragon veins. This time, they suffer some losses and bleeding, and they will know that we are not easy to bully. If you want to build railways, you have to add some concerns, and it is best not to build them. Even the foreigners in the Jin Kingdom will return to their own country to stay. Our Dajin will be peaceful. According to the Nu, those are not bandits, but righteous people! The people's hearts can't be abandoned. There are many masters with magical powers in Shandong. If their hearts are cold, our Dajin will not be able to find loyal ministers who are willing to serve."
King Qing entered the house and gave Cixi a tribute, and he looked worried. He had seen this protest note. Although King Qing was mediocre, he had been an official in the affairs office for several years and was not ignorant of international affairs. Once this matter was not handled properly, it would cause a large number of hostages to be killed or injured, even if the consequences of the Juye Sect Plan were dozens of times more serious than that of the Juye Sect Plan. I really don’t know how to deal with it.
Therefore, when he entered the house, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and repeatedly asked for guilt. As for how to deal with it, he was not a Shandong local official, and could not see the specific situation and could not come up with an opinion for the time being. The only analysis was that this group of strong men had the intention of negotiating foreigners on the spot, perhaps because they were willing to negotiate. At least they regarded foreigners as a rare and vague creature. As long as the conditions were negotiated, there was still room for improvement. Yuxian should be instructed to deal with it properly, otherwise there would be heavy responsibilities.
Cixi snorted, "Listen, this is the good words of Jin Yu. Chengyi, what are you talking about just now! Magical powers, heavenly soldiers and generals, you, a prince, believe in these things, don't you feel embarrassed? At that time, you, Ama, was called the Voldetic City God, but you couldn't deceive him any other tricks. How could you even lose your mind when you are in your generation? If there is really a demon who practices evil magic, you should take it immediately. How could you recommend such a person? In the future, you should learn from your Uncle Qing, don't talk nonsense all the time, and lose your morals!"
Chengyi was scolded and blushed, and her mind was also in chaos. She blurted out: "Lao Buddha, I have a humble opinion. Since Yuxian cannot keep the railway, I am afraid that the negotiations may not be successful. Besides, Yuxian is a straight minister. Like a slave, he can only speak tough words and not speak good things. If there are any damages and collisions in this foreigner, he will not negotiate with others. I want to recommend someone to ask him to do this matter, and how to negotiate with foreigners and how to contact the bandits, he will bear the responsibility of whether it is good or bad, so there is no room for the committee to be pushed."
Cixi nodded, "This is like a human word, so why don't you tell me, who are you protecting?"
"I recommend Zhao Guanhou! He was a gangster from Tianjin and had already had a connection with bandits. Besides, he could do Western affairs and was able to talk to foreigners. Yuxian was not as good as him in these two."
"This is a bastard!" Cixi's face sank. "I know more than you. The words to sow discord are useless to say this. Besides, if you say it is true, what will you be assured?"
After these words, Cheng Yi was hoarse when asked and didn't know how to answer correctly. Cixi snorted and looked at King Qing, "Just do it like this. In this matter, we must be able to talk about foreigners, and secondly, we must be able to shock the robbers. We must not be able to do it. I think Zhao Guanhou is suitable, so I turned around and clicked on his generals. I just hope that foreigners will not suffer major casualties, otherwise, we will not know how much we will suffer this time."
When he left Leshou Hall, Cheng Yi's face was still gloomy. He called a follower and whispered a few instructions. The follower nodded, then left the capital and rode a fast horse to Shandong.
Zhao Guanhou was turning around and received a transfer order. He opened his position as Zhang Jing, the general affairs office of various countries, and ordered him to go to Shandong to handle the case of Lincheng to recruit pacification. The mail was very urgent. In one day, the Prussian side had sent several notes, requiring the Jin Dynasty to ensure the safety of hostages, otherwise all consequences would be borne by the Jin Dynasty. Clinder had sent telegrams to his country, and the Shandong report also said that the Prussian garrison in Jiaozhou was frequently moving and seemed to be ready for combat. Yuxian asked the court to take the initiative and plow the pavilion and sweep the cave.
King Qing explained this official matter at his own home, and then shook his head, "Yu Zuochen was a magistrate of donation, became the governor of Shandong, and served as the general of Jiangning. He was also a capable person. But somehow, when he arrived in Shandong, why was this man crazy? Not only did he not think about suppressing bandits, but he wanted to take the initiative to attack foreigners. Isn't this a mystery? If he did this, he would definitely make a big fuss for me. Guan Hou, I will give you a brief explanation. When he arrived in Shandong, he must be more appeased. Never let Yuxian do whatever he wanted."
Zhao Guanhou smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, there is no hidden in front of you. Huye is just a dark red top. He is a governor, so he is afraid that he will not take up any space when he speaks there. The errand assigned by Lao Fu, dare not be careless, but he is a slight person, and he is afraid that there is no way forward and has no way to retreat. This is more troublesome than negotiating with Clinder."
King Qing also knew that he was talking about the truth, for fear of being afraid of laziness, and this business would be irreversible. He quickly encouraged him, "Guan Hou, you are relatives with Weiting. This time, you have made great contributions. You are not an outsider. I will also tell you a brief moment. The Lord of Buddha sent you to protect you. Now it is time to reward me on merit. If you stay in the capital, you will block other people's path. You should understand this relationship. So it is not a bad thing to go outside and hide. If this errand is done, Lord of Buddha will not treat you badly. As for Yuxian, don't be afraid of him. He will not stay in Shandong for long, and it's time to move."
Under the rule, a major case of kidnapping of foreigners was found. The court could not let Yu Xian go in terms of merits and demerits. Moreover, he published the book again, asking to take the initiative and lead the troops and righteous people in the headquarters to sneak attack the Pu* camp. Although there was a saying that it would be successful in a battle, it was still strictly ordered by the court.
Now there is no clue about the matter of meat tickets, so Yuxian naturally cannot leave. Otherwise, who would be willing to take the blame for him? However, when the matter is over, his resignation is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, the governors from all over the Dajin area, except for the governors of Henan, the governors of the other provinces are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the governors of the other provinces are controlled by the governors. Even if the province does not have the governors, they will be controlled by the governors of other provinces. The governors of Shandong are under the jurisdiction of the governors of Zhili.
Currently, Han Rong is still the governor of Zhili. Although there are rumors that the governor of Zhili will be taken over by Feng Lu, Han Rong is more than enough to control Yu Xian. With these two guarantees, King Qing did not think that Yu Xian could tie Zhao Guanhou's hands and feet, let alone make no bad things. He only instructed:
"Remember, the situation is not good now, and there is a stir in the capital. Don't let foreigners find a reason to start a quarrel, otherwise it will be difficult to explain Ci Sheng. As for the conditions for strong people, you can always try to make a thorough decision. There are a group of robbers who occupy the mountain and become king. I don't think they dare to do things too well. However, after the foreigners are rescued, you will ask you more ways to do it. When passing by Tianjin, remember to ask Rong'an more and ask him to guide you, so that you can have a strategy."
Of course, King Qing's words did not ask Zhao Guanhou to ask Yuan for advice, but asked Zhao Guanhou to give Yuan a hint to prepare for Shandong to take over the Taitung Seal. By the way, it was also the place where Qingde was selling personal favors, which made Yuan know in his mind.
Things were urgent, and the train was scheduled for the next day. In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Guanhou did not say goodbye to the Ten Princess, but rushed to the Ministry of Justice and went straight to the Tianzhu.
It was the first night that Tan Zhuangfei was captured. Since he had a martyrdom, he never showed fear. In addition to the four ministers in the prison, he wrote a letter to ask why the emperor was deposed, quoted classics and quoted the heroines in the country, which would not be a blessing for the country. In the end, he was imprisoned by the censor Yang Shenxiu and Kang Zuren.
These six people were in the same case, and they were imprisoned in death, and they were inevitably saved. The other five were not afraid, chatting and laughing freely, showing their loyalty and kindness. Only Kang Zuren cried in the cell, slamming his head against the wall from time to time, crying, "Not a wrongdoer! There is no reason to be a brother who causes trouble and let his brothers take over." Even the prisoners only respected the other five people and ignored him.
Except for Kang Zuyi, the few people who were detained have face and backing, including those who have worked as officials in the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, there is no difficulty in the prison cell. The Ministry of Justice's prison is also called the Heavenly Prison, which is called the gods' misfortune. Fortunately, the gods' magic power is limited and Kong Fang is boundless. Zhao Guanhou used money and a prisoner took him into this ventilator, which was in principle uninterrupted.
There was no sunlight here, and the lights were also lit during the day. Although Si Jingqing and others were important criminals, they were decent and did not lock up with other death numbers. Instead, they had a few prison cells alone, and they were very clean. Tan Zhuangfei was wearing prison uniforms, with shackles, and his clothes were very neat, and there were no traces of torture. His expression was as calm as usual, and he was still a handsome young man. Seeing Zhao Guanhou coming in, he only smiled at him, "What? Lord Zhao wants to come and see Tan's timid appearance? I'm afraid that he will disappoint him."
"Brother Fusheng misunderstood. I don't mean that. I just brought some food in. It is said that food is not allowed to be brought in here. There is always public and private, and private has disadvantages. If you use money, everything will work."
While saying that, Zhao Guanhou opened the package he brought, which was a food box. There was a plate of bear's paw and a small pot of wine in the food box. He handed over a hot towel. "Eat while it's hot, the bear's paw is dipped in the mouth. After eating, wipe it quickly, otherwise it will not be opened. The pair of bear's paws given by the fifth master have not been dry and cannot be eaten. Fortunately, there is a ready-made bear's paw in the Qing Mansion, and finally made a copy to avoid the appointment of old friends. Today, I will say goodbye to you and congratulate Mr. Tan."
The chopsticks he prepared were specially made, and they were long enough to hold the bear's paws and put them in his mouth through the fence, without using a plate. When Tan Zhuangfei heard the word congratulations, he knew that the deadline was approaching, so he thought it was Wang Wu's rescue and asked, "Why, is my life so close? Or is there any change in the court, and he had to speed up the movement?" His expression was filled with joy, without panic or sadness.
"The matter is different from what Brother Tan thought. No one rebelled or did not cause trouble. But the foreigners' attitude is strange. The Queen Mother is afraid that someone will come out to protect you from death, so she will act as soon as possible and cut the mess quickly. Although the days are not the moment, they will not be too far away. I want to leave Beijing, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with Brother Tan. Just use this dish to fully understand our friendship."
Tan Zhuangfei stopped asking more questions. After taking a few bites, he threw the chopsticks and laughed loudly, "Because he was afraid of foreigners' intervention, he had to speed up the killing. This is the Great Jin Kingdom. Lord Zhao, we have acquaintances, but we can't talk to each other. We have a good reputation with me, the criminal, and we don't have a good reputation with you. Today I can give you a bear paw, and I have recorded this favor. Unfortunately, I can't repay you when I am imprisoned. I only have a poem I have taken recently, and I will give it to you."
