Chapter 51 Section fifty

Not long after Chen Kuilong arrived in Beijing, Chen Qitai actually appointed the governor of Jiangsu.Because this person's energy is not as good as what Duan Fang said, and his ability to conduct himself is more than enough to seal the border, there is no reason why he should not be eliminated. Chen Qitai was born in the Imperial Academy and had been a censor for many years. With his honesty and integrity, of course he couldn't understand what Duan Fang and Cai Naihuang did.Duanfang is the governor, Chen Qitai has no choice but to do so, Shanghai Cai Naihuang, under the jurisdiction, will not let him lightly.When he took office to screen out his subordinates, he gave Cai Naihuang a very bad comment.

As a result, Zhang Zhidong was not polite, and made Cai Naihuang the left counselor of the Postal Communications Department. However, no one was sent for his vacancy. Because this is a special brief, Yuan Shikai suppressed the procedure of billing and asking for a brief under the pretext of "finding out the meaning first". Immediately afterwards, Duanfang sent a telegram to Beijing, assigning Cai Naihuang, the governor of Shanghai, to deliver the tribute to Beijing.In this way, Cai Naihuang was able to go to Beijing for activities after crossing the barrier of Chen Qitai. After handing over the errand, the first person to see is Yikuang.He frankly asked to return to his post on the grounds that once he left Shanghai and could not control the situation, "rumors" might appear in the news papers, saying that the photo of Cen Chunxuan and Kang Liang was forged by him.If there is a big storm, it will be impossible.

Upon hearing this, Yikuang couldn't help panicking, "Wait for me to think of a way, wait for me to think of a way!" He said, "You'd better go see Yuan Gongbao first." Of course Yuan Shikai wanted to see it, but he said it differently.Threatening that the important public case of forging photos will be exposed is to bully Yikuang for not understanding the situation in the press. If he doesn't tell him, how can the press know about it?What's more, only a very few people know that Cen Chunxuan ruined his fame from this frame of photo.The matter is extremely secret and cannot be leaked out.Yikuang didn't understand the reason, but he couldn't hide it from Yuan Shikai.

However, Cen Chunxuan was still the only one who could stir up Yuan Shikai's hearing.Cai Naihuang said that since he opened his vacancy, he has resumed his old state of being a noble son in Shanghai. He holds wine every night at the "Changsantangzi", and often gathers to gamble, throwing thousands of dollars and making big moves. As a result, he made friends with many wealthy businessmen Jia, Mr. Guijie. "On the surface, Xilin appears to be a wine-drinking woman, but she actually uses it to obscure herself. I don't care about anything else. The only thing to worry about is getting close to Sheng Xingsun."

Yuan Shikai had been worried about this for a long time, but on the surface he remained calm, "It is considered friendly enough for Xilin to repair grievances for Xingsun before he took office." He said, "Xingsun must always repay him!" "Without this relationship, they would definitely go together. With Xilin's prestige and Xingsun's financial resources, they both benefit from cooperation. Now there is a path that is about to succeed." "Oh," Yuan Shikai asked, "what kind of road is it?" "Due West." "Zhengxi?" Yuan Shikai listened carefully before he understood.In the gossip, Zhengxi is Dui Gua, and Dui is "Ze", "It turned out to be Ze Gong."

"Yes! This road is about to go through, and Chen Yucang is afraid that it will be difficult." Chen Yucang refers to Chen Bi, Minister of the Ministry of Post and Communications, who succeeded Cen Chunxuan.Yuan Shikai knew that Sheng Xuanhuai was envious of two vacancies, one was the governor of Zhili, and the other was the secretary of the Postal Department. In terms of the fact that Zaize, the minister of the Du branch, had recently been attracted by the Empress Dowager Cixi, Sheng Xuanhuai might not be able to fulfill his wish. It is not extravagant to hope for the Minister of the Ministry.

"As for Xilin, Xingsun is acting for him in Beijing. The Empress Dowager is getting old and misses the old days very much. It is not hopeless to recover." Seeing Yuan Shikai groaning silently, Cai Naihuang knew that he had been persuaded, so he said to himself: "Gong Bao, if you let me return to office, I will definitely look after Xilin, and I will find an opportunity to embarrass him!" "Oh," Yuan Shikai said with great interest, "how are you going to joke with him?" "A senior official like him who has been greatly favored by the three generations, since he has a vacancy due to illness, he has to return to his hometown to recuperate. In a place where there are gossip and disputes in ten miles, spending time and wine, not to mention provoking disputes, even watching, it is not elegant. I Just take this topic and find an opportunity to peel off his face."

Yuan Shikai smiled and said nothing, then suddenly asked: "Have you met Nan Pi?" "not yet." "Go see him and talk about it!" Yuan Shikai said: "As long as you deal with Nanpi well, the matter can be salvaged." "Yes!" Cai Naihuang was deeply educated, and left.
