Chapter 369 Framing Zhongliang (2)
King Qing nodded and said, "You mean? Sheng Xingsun? That's not an easy person to deal with."
"We must get rid of it early because we are not easy to deal with. This time, we will adopt a new policy and change the official system. If Sheng Xingsun enters the cabinet, it will be a real fatal matter. It will be difficult for him to move him again. And after his birthday, the son-in-law will have his own way."
Cixi's birthday is approaching, and the governors of Xinjiang from all sides come to Beijing to pay their birthday as usual. Cen Chunxuan came from Songjiang by train, and when he arrived at the station, he went directly to Zhai Hongji's mansion. He pointed to the Beijing newspaper, quite anxious
"Prime Minister, this text is really... too vulgar. We were originally rational, but as soon as the Beijing News came out, Shi Lin Caijun from Songjiang complained a lot about us, thinking that our Beijing News was too despicable and had limited style. This is not a mistake."
"I saw these contents after I posted them. Liang Qing (Wang Kangnian's name) was also uninhuman. In his newspaper, there was a young man named Bai Siwen, who said he was studying in Taixi, and he studied journalism. He had diplomas from several universities in Taixi. Liang Qing recognized him as a talent. He not only hired him at a high price, but also used it. He did not review his manuscripts and directly sent it. Who knew that Liang Qing did not agree with this article. He always believed that newspapers should uphold justice and not engage in false news. This report was seriously deviated from his claims. It was not his work or his instruction."
Cen Chunxuan shook his head and said, "Is it his writing or instructing that it is meaningless now, and public opinion has become a villain. If Bai Siwen sees him, I will never forgive him. Jiuwen, what are the movements in the court?"
Zhai Hongji shook his head, "The birthday is coming, and Ci Jia will not mention the new policy, so I dare not ask. I have to wait until after the birthday, and then write to Ci Sheng. I just don't know who leaked the news and published Ci Sheng's dissatisfaction with the Qing Mansion in a foreign newspaper. The newspaper, for some reason, fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager. She was very annoyed. She had already been celebrating the celebration, but now she saved him."
Cen Chunxuan smiled, "The prime minister doesn't have to worry. King Qing is incompetent, but he is just a traitor. He cannot be in the position of the pivot, nor will he last. The matters of the hang scale officer are there, and the empress dowager can't protect him. What he relies on is nothing more than Yuan Weiting as a minion and a new army as a barrier. When we reform the official system this time, we might as well use a drag trick. First concentrate the military power in the training place, and then take back the power of the training place. Yuan Weiting's power can be seized in a moment. When King Qing loses his aid, he is like a clawless crab, so he will be dealt with with us."
Zhai Hongji nodded, "Yunjie, your method is good. The new army must do it, but who will do it? You can find a way to move it. Since Benchu wants to capture the military power of the world, we will let him enjoy it first. After concentrating the military power of the governors in various places, the court will take it back. Not only Benchu has no choice but to do it, but there are even ambitions in the court, and you can't steal the military and covet the magic weapon. This time, you should be the first to protect the country."
"I only want to serve the country, not to achieve merit. My Dajin administration is corrupt and cannot govern officials, so there is no way to talk about reform. Only by removing these people who harm the country and the people, will the country have the hope of prosperity and strength. As long as I can repay the country, what does Cen's honor and disgrace count? The bandits in Guangxi, the King of Ge Ming Dang of Guangdong, and Yuan Weiting of Guangdong, all they think about is how to use troops to suppress them, but they never thought that if all the dirty officials in this world are gone, the officials will be governed in a clear and clear manner. Constitutionalism is implemented in the court and constitutionalism replaces ****, how can the hungry people who cannot survive become bandits? How can Ge Ming Dang obtain the support of the people?"
Zhai Hongji nodded in praise, "Yunjie, your knowledge is the real good advice. Although there are treacherous ministers in the court now, I think they will be exhausted. As long as they impeach them, why worry about the country being not prosperous and the people not being able to live and work in peace and contentment."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they all felt a lot of passion in their hearts. They just waited for this birthday party to show off their strengths and put all their strengths into practice. Zhai Hongji had many children, and Cen Chunxuan was brave enough to take charge. The two of them firmly believed that as long as they cooperated well, the chaos of Dajin would soon pass, and a bright future would be in front of them.
The birthday banquet lasted for nine days. Most of these foreign governors and governors, most of them felt that the body of the Old Buddha was indeed not as good as before. First, in terms of action, the old woman who could walk freely in the past must now be supported by the palace maids and eunuchs before she could get on the imperial throne. Second, she always had to leave the seat in the middle, and later she realized that she was going to have a great explanation. Even if Tan Beile's Shilang's mother brought the order back, she could not keep the old lady.
The empress dowager's body gradually faded, and the eyes of the ministers naturally fell on the emperor. However, the situation of Emperor Tianyou was worse than that of the empress dowager. Not only did he become thinner, but his close ministers found that the emperor's face was also ugly.
On such days, the emperor had to dress up, but no matter how he dressed up, his obviously insane appearance could not be concealed by others, which made all the ministers feel uneasy.
The defeat was just over last year, and this year there was a grand celebration of the recovery of the three northeastern provinces. The birthday banquet fee was higher than last year. However, behind the flowers and the fire and cooking oil, the ministers were increasingly heavy. Everyone also noticed that the great concubine of the Prince Chun Mansion had been with the Queen Mother, one with the ten princess on the left and one with the Queen Mother, and was longer with Princess Rongshou, who had been with the Queen Mother for a longer time. This signal also made all the officials with a keen sense of smell smell some smell.
Nine days passed and the birthday party ended. Taking advantage of the joy of mercy, some notes were handed over at this time, mostly asking for merit, rewards, and requesting the old punishment to be erased and re-used. Just like the amnesty of the world, after the birthday party of the empress dowager every year, there are always some unlucky people who can get the forgiveness of the empress dowager.
The first memorial this year was the Minister of Military Machinery Zhai Hongji, who recommended Cen Chunxuan as the governor of Henan and participated in the supervision and training of the new army in Henan. Cixi frowned slightly, "Cen Chunxuan? Didn't I ask him to be the governor of Guangxi? Why did Zijiu protect him as the governor of Henan? If he went to Henan, who would do the errand in Guangxi? Could it be that the bandits in Guangxi have been suppressed?"
Li Lianying was serving by his side at this time. When he heard the question, he coughed, "Old Buddha, you were on your birthday a few days ago, and I didn't dare to reply. The bandits in Guangxi did not calm down, but instead made a fuss even more violent. They had trapped several county towns. The people below, because the governor had not arrived, had no leader, and did not know how to act, and the battle was very difficult."
"Cen Chunxuan said that he was sick and was not in recovery in Songjiang. But when I saw him coming to pay my birthday, he clearly had no illness. He was determined to go to Guangxi, but he didn't want to go to Guangxi. This person's heart was really nowhere to see, and he said loyalty, but he really wanted to go to a hard place and started to find a way to lie. Forget it, give Zijiu a face, and just pretended that I forgot, and arranged him to Henan."
Cixi was about to make a mark on the memorial, but Xiao Dezhang came in from outside, "God of Lafayette, King Chun Dafu Jin brought Ren Ge into the palace to pay homage to Lafayette."
"Brother Ren is here? Then why don't you let them in quickly and move these memorials aside first. Let's talk about it again, Lian Ying, tell me to prepare some good snacks for the children to eat."
Pu Ren was still wrapped in a cradle, but he couldn't eat anything, but Cixi looked at the child and couldn't let go of it. He held it in his arms and teased it, just like his grandmother's newborn grandson. He said to Fuzi again: "Your child is not good. You always come in the past. Since you became a relative and gave birth to a child, you have come in less. You know that I don't want Pu Ren, why don't you bring him more and let me see?"
"Lawfu see what you said, you are busy with state affairs, so how dare I disturb Mr. Fu if I have nothing to do. Even if I enter the palace today, I will have something to do."
Cixi looked at her and smiled and said, "If you have something to do? Then just say, who are you talking to or seeking future for whom? For Xiaoren's sake, I agree with you."
"Laofu, I'm not here for this. But I got two photos at the Six Kingdoms Hotel. After thinking about it, I still have to show you. I'd also like to show you my mercy. I'd like to show you my mercy and forgive Fuzi's troublesome sins first."
Cixi shook her head, "You kid, you are so kind. I have always blamed you. Take a photo to me and see. You, don't go to the Six Kingdoms Hotel for no reason. Your mother-in-law knows it, but you can't spare you."
While talking about Cixi, she took the photo. After a while, her face turned ashen, and the blue veins on her forehead jumped up. Pu Ren in her arms seemed to feel the anger of the old man, and kicked her hands and feet, bursting and bursting into tears.
The photo is a group photo, and there is nothing surprising. The only problem is the person above.
The first photo is a photo of Cen Chunxuan and Zhai Hongji. This is nothing, but the situation between the two is not a normal photo taken as a souvenir, but a handshake and say goodbye. It seems that they have just decided to cooperate on a certain matter.
The second photo is a photo of Cen Chunxuan and Liang Rengong. The two of them were holding their heads together, not knowing what was going on. Just as they saw Liang Rengong's face, Cixi was already angry.
The child was handed back to Fuzi's hand, and Cixi's voice became cold and stern.
"Fuzi, you grew up since I was a child. Your family has no king's affairs for three generations. They are my loyal and kind-hearted person. In Japan, you are also loyal to the court. If you have no words to do anything to me and tell lies to me, the first one will be sorry to you! No matter how you make trouble, I will always guard you and protect you, because of you, and also think that you are a sensible child. But today, I want to ask you a few words. If you have a lie, I will never forgive you!"
Fuzi is lawless in daily life, but the empress dowager loves her very much and never sees blame. Therefore, if she is not even afraid of the empress dowager, this is her first experience. When she is angry, she is really panicked. But her courage is ultimately greater than that of ordinary people. She wants to repay her kindness, and she makes up her mind and kneels down on the ground with her son Pu Ren in her arms.
"Laofu, I have been growing up. If I have anything to say, even if I don't tell my family, I will tell you that in front of you, I dare not have a single word of lies. Just ask, I will tell you everything I know and say everything."
"Okay, let me ask you, how did you come from this photo? Who put the photo in your hands?"
"This is the photo obtained by the Times reporter of the foreigners. The foreigners' reporters like to secretly take photos of big names and then publish them in the newspaper. What is the scoop. This reporter is named Luo Deli, who is very familiar with Zhao Guanhou and the slave. He spent a lot of money to ask about it from the bottom of the bag. The two photos he bought were about to be published in the newspaper. It is said that the court has been ready to completely forgive the Restoration Party, and Liang Rengong will be able to return to the court to serve as an official soon. Cen Chunxuan is the one who represents the court to contact him. He is going to do this.
After becoming a good thing, I am still congratulating the slave, saying that the Great Jin Kingdom finally embarked on the road of constitutionalism. When the slave saw the photo, he felt something was wrong. Lord Cen knew this slave, and Liang Rengong also knew him. He was an official of the court, so how could he get along with the riots? I wondered, Lord Lao Fu was in the palace and didn’t know what happened outside. If someone fooled Lord Buddha, wouldn’t he be fooled? In order to enter the palace, I wanted Lord Buddha, and look at this photo and have a idea in my mind. So I asked foreigners for two photos to show it to Lord Buddha."
"Then let me ask you, where is the photo taken of Cen Liang?"
"In Songjiang. The place where they met was the Shili foreign market in Songjiang, which is in the concession."
"Mr. Liang Ren, who is in Songjiang... You go back to the mansion first, don't go anywhere in the next few days. I'll call you at any time. If I let me know that you are lying, let me see how I deal with you!"
Cixi drove Fuzi away and fiddled with two photos in her hand, but she was not sure whether it was true. Although she was dissatisfied with Zhai Hongji, she believed that Zhai Hongji's character and believed that he would not betray her. Although she did not have this kind of trust in Cen Chunxuan, she did not think that he would collude with Liang Rengong.
Just when she was unsure of her mind, she suddenly saw Xiao De Zhang walking over, and her heart moved and called him in. Originally, Cixi's eyes and ears were Li Lianying, but as Li Lianying grew older and her waist and legs were not as flexible as when she was young, she left some things to go out to explore the wind to Xiao De Zhang.
She ordered: "You go to the Six Kingdoms Hotel these two days and find me a foreign newspaper called the Times. Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, all these three days will be needed. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Lord Lafayette, I'll do it right away."
After sending Xiao Dezhang away, Cixi was still worried and asked someone to invite Princess Rongshou to come. She still made the following arrangements to ask for the newspaper for these three days. She also seemed to be unintentionally asking: "Rongshou, when you were listening to the opera these days, you were with a group of life women, have you ever heard anything?" (To be continued.)
