Chapter 3 since you

A year ago, it was still Tianjin Laolongtou Station, and the spring blossomed again. The guard of honor was neatly lined up in a square team, with the sound of gongs and drums, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, personally led the whole city to welcome a distinguished guest.This guest is very young, but his background is not small, the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, the former imperial minister, the minister of the guards, Beizi Zaizhen.He had just returned from an inspection tour of the three eastern provinces. It seemed that this young man was a formidable character, and Yuan Shikai actually had to work to pick him up in person.

In fact, this young man is not very good at all, it is his father—Yi Qiang who is good. No matter what age, father is the most important social resource, of course, the premise is that father has inexhaustible resources.In order to make good use of this resource, Yuan Shikai grandly accepted the wind and washed away the dust.According to the rules of the officialdom, it is natural to provide one-stop service. After drinking and eating, they invited the best actors in Tianjin City to sing and sing. Zai Zhen is good for this.Then again, who is not good at being an official?Who is not good at this man?Ordinary men are just excited, but men at Zai Zhen's level are both excited and active.

Speaking of Master Zhen Beizi, it's not been a day or two since he flirted with women.Not long ago, a leap was made in a single pull and history was made. That time was still in Tianjin, which has always been the backyard of the rich and powerful, away from the sensitive political center, safe and comfortable. This woman is Xie Shanshan, a first-class courtesan and courtesan in Tianjin. Zai Zhen had a big banquet in Jinjin with guests and friends, and it was nothing serious. He drank flowers and wine, kept in touch with each other, and Xie Shanshan was with him.After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere slowly reached a climax, and there was a moment of drinking, guessing, and banter.Xie Shanshan felt that the atmosphere was not enough, so she ran around the table, her eyes were bleary, and her hairpins were shaking wildly.

Suddenly, she smeared the makeup on the face of Chen Bi, the Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce (equivalent to the deputy minister).Chen Bi, Yikuang's godson and Zaizhen's godbrother. With rouge on his face, Xiao Chen was very happy; Zai Zhen was unhappy, in terms of status, status, or appearance, how could I be worse than him?Shouting to wipe it on his face.In the end, amidst the smell of rouge in the house, everyone dispersed, and the story of rouge spread widely in Beijing and Tianjin. The trouble was too outrageous, and the censor impeached: dignified ministerial officials gathered to drink flowers and wine, and they were frivolous and disrespectful, humiliating themselves.If you are a civilian, no matter how you behave, no one will control you. The key is that you are a national civil servant.

Women conquer you like this, and the country is ruined by you like this. It was the first time in the history of the Qing Dynasty that a prostitute was given a memorial to the emperor. Xie Shanshan used her rouge to lightly paint the history. Although history was made, the consequences were not serious.Cixi understands men's hearts very well. Who is a man of this level who is not a red flag fluttering outside?For his father's sake, he decreed a few words of reprimand: "You should be more vigilant, if there is something, change it, and if there is nothing, encourage it." This is very artistic, too artistic.Therefore, in order to fully understand and practice the highest instructions, Zaizhen hopes to have another chance to make mistakes and correct them.

Now the time has come. In the private room, this character is on stage. She is a charming and stunning beauty——Yang Cuixi. Yang Cuixi is definitely a stunner, her baby name is Er Niuer.When he was young, his family was poor, and he was sold to a Lehu surnamed Yang, who studied under his teacher and named him Cuixi.She started her laughing career in Harbin at the age of 16. She has a graceful figure and is especially good at singing the melody.Tsarist Russia stationed troops there and often went to the theater. The old Maozi was taken aback for a while and often shouted "China's national quintessence, Russia loves you".

What is the ecstasy of Yang Cuixi?Listen to what Li Shutong said in the two poems "Bodhisattva Man": The flowers on Yanzhi Mountain are like snow, and the people on Yanzhi Mountain are like moons.The forehead is covered with emerald clouds, and the eyebrows are light and want nothing.After the light rain at sunset, the autumn marks on the bottom of the leaves are thin.When I was young, I was afraid of talking about sorrow, and I couldn't bear to be ashamed of talking about sorrow.Xiaofeng is weak and lazy, long love forgets short hairspring.The moon marks are low when you wake up, and Du Yu in the south of the Yangtze River cries.The infatuated soul is ecstatic, willing to wear flowers and butterflies.Outside the curtain, separated by the shade of flowers, the morning fragrance and dream sink.

Li Shutong is the famous Master Hongyi.Master Hongyi once wrote a famous sentence "Don't dream cold tonight", the loneliness tonight makes you so cold, perhaps it is because of the lack of Cuixi's melodious singing voice.Being able to bluff art masters into "crazy souls" (to be in a daze), this level, absolutely takes everything. Everyone unanimously came to a fair conclusion: "Cuixi is bright and beautiful, illuminating the four seats". Although Yang Cuixi is small, she has a big heart. She always wants to find a good family, at least one above Daotai, and underdeveloped areas are generally not considered.She wandered south and came to Tianjin Daguanyuan Theater, which is the backyard of dignitaries and dignitaries, and there are many opportunities.

This opportunity finally came, and she met the him in her life. When an actor meets a high-ranking official, when a romantic courtesan meets a bohemian prodigal, what will happen? Two words: in a daze. Zai Zhen was in a daze at first, staring straight at Cuixi, so absorbed and obsessed, he forgot about his business and the people around him.He really wanted time to stop and stop just for the two of them. Yang Cuixi went on in a daze, traveling all these years, she had never seen such a big battle, never seen so many high-ranking officials, even Yuan Shikai personally accompanied him, this handsome young man must be a nobleman.Cui Xi's eyes kept on looking at Zai Zhen, she really wanted to spend more time to figure out this man thoroughly, and even more so to plan her own future.

It's easy to see in a daze, because the eyes are straight.When a man's eyes are straight, he only has women in his heart; when an official's eyes start to be straight, his heart is only women or women, but he is definitely not the yellow-faced woman at home.Therefore, when Zaizhen's eyes began to straighten, Yuan Shikai knew that his career would have a qualitative breakthrough; Duan Zhigui, an alternate Taoist priest who was accompanying him, knew even more that the spring was coming. After the play was over, Duan Zhigui asked empathetically, "How did Master Bei see their performance?" Zai Zhen was still immersed in a daze of love and couldn't extricate himself, and answered the question irrelevantly: "Yang Cuixi is very good."

The words are clear, the next thing is Duan Zhigui's business. Duan Zhigui, the son of a county office servant, has run errands on various occasions since he was a child, and his only advantage is his understanding.After graduating from Tianjin Armed Forces Academy, he followed Yuan Shikai.From then on, Duan Zhigui had an unbreakable habit of getting up before dawn every day, not to exercise, but to come to Yuan Shikai's house to greet him.This is the case for one day, one month, one year, and ten years.Even with flash floods, typhoons and tsunamis, Duan Zhigui still fought against nature tenaciously, and came to greet Yuan Shikai on time. Once Yuan Shikai jokingly said, I heard that my son served his father and came to say hello every morning. You are not my son, so there is no need to be like this. As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhigui suddenly disappeared. It turned out that he had already been lying on the ground, weeping and said: "My parents gave birth to me, and you cultivated me. Comparing the two, you are the oldest. I would like to be your godson for the rest of my life." He kowtowed and kowtowed. The man had gold under his knees, so he couldn't let him kowtow for nothing, so Yuan Shikai half-pushed and accepted this son who was only ten years younger than himself. Now Duan Zhigui wants to surprise Zai Zhen.He secretly bought Yang Cuixi, the price was very high, twelve thousand taels, and he would support her for life.Yang Cuixi is also full of joy, and finally married into the highest-ranking wealthy family, and she can also be a second concubine (side Fujin), and she will take a break from acting and say bye bye (goodbye) to the stage. On a warm spring day, Duan Zhigui rode a big horse, carried Cuixi, brought a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver, and set out on the road with a dream in his heart. Does it have to be a spring day?Yes, good days not only bring good mood, but also bring good opportunities. Women, dedicated to Zai Zhen; The dowry was given to Yikuang; The official position is reserved for myself. I have to be impressed by Duan Zhigui's spirit of selfless devotion. I don't want the beauty in my hands, but I send it to a woman and pay the dowry. Isn't such a selfless man worthy of admiration?Shouldn't he go one step further in his official career? At this time, the officialdom in Northeast China was changed from top to bottom. Passionate men who are interested in the great development of Northeast China lined up and waited for the opportunity to enter the Guandong. But Yikuang remained unmoved, and he had already reserved the best position for Duan Zhigui.As a human being, you must be honest, especially in Beijing where integrity is lacking and money worship is prevalent, you must set a good example. Northeast, this is a magical hot land, where there are 30 million passionate compatriots, where there are endless treasure resources, where there is a large area of ​​uncultivated virgin land, where is still the land of Longxing, where two ancestors of the Qing Dynasty are buried: Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. In view of the particularity of the three northeastern provinces, there has always been a general system here, and the generals of Shengjing will govern the Northeast, and of course they are all held by bannermen.The current general of Shengjing is Zhao Erxun, a bannerman of the Han army and a well-known capable official.But at this time, the land of Longxing was beyond recognition, sandwiched between the two great powers of Tsarist Russia and Japan, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was pressing every step of the way, Zhao Erxun, an old bureaucrat, was also tired of coping and eager to get out.He tried his best to encourage the three eastern provinces to reform the system, abolish the generals, and install a governor, which gave Yuan Shikai a good opportunity. Since the reform of the official system was frustrated by the central government, Yuan Shikai has set his sights on the Northeast. In terms of Yuan's qualifications and talents, the governors of the three provinces in the Northeast are more than enough.But Cixi did not let her go.It's not that I'm worried, but because Tianjin is the gateway to Beijing and needs to be guarded by important ministers.In the past, when Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili, left, there was a fist riot. Now that Yuan Shikai is gone, there may be another chaos. It doesn't matter whether Yuan Shikai can go or not. Now that his heart is already moved, the fat in the Northeast cannot be swallowed by others.So the director Yang Cuixi-Zai Zhen-Yi Kuang trilogy easily handles Northeast China. The governors of the three eastern provinces gave Yuan Shikai's lifelong old friend Xu Shichang; the governor of Fengtian, Tang Shaoyi, the first batch of students studying in the United States, and Yuan Shikai's old subordinate; the governor of Jilin Zhu Jiabao, who was also Yuan Shikai's old subordinate;Here's a look at their brief biographies: Xu Shichang, former Minister of Military Aircraft, now Minister of Civil Affairs (ministerial level); Tang Shaoyi, Minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications (Deputy Ministerial Level); Zhu Jiabao, Jiangsu Procuratorate (Deputy Provincial); Duan Zhigui, alternate Taoist priest (deputy department level, actual director level). The transfer of the first three people is quite satisfactory, in line with the basic process of official promotion.However, Duan Zhigui became a provincial and ministerial senior official from an alternate regional commissioner, which is extremely rare in the officialdom based on seniority; moreover, the governors of the three eastern provinces were given to Han Chinese, which broke the historical record of the Qing Dynasty. It is unusual, absolutely unusual. Given that these two are unusual, everyone feels unusual.Not taking the usual path, Yuan Jiaqi went on the road.There is a lot of discussion in the capital, try to see who owns the world in the Northeast today?
