Chapter 79 Section 78

Junji Zhilu is also very lively.Zhang Jing, the military plane, gathered together to stand by, and the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials waited on their errands in the yard. All the palaces and ministries sent people to inquire about the news, but the ministers of the military plane were still undecided. The first thing to decide is whether to declare the decree immediately?If it was announced immediately, how would it be said, when did the Emperor Daxing die?Yikuang also said that the country's important ministers are not limited to military aircraft, and relatives should also have the opportunity to express their opinions at this time. Therefore, the regent Wang Jianguo should convene a meeting of important ministers, so that the situation will not be chaotic due to a big funeral.

This makes it difficult to draw conclusions.In the end, Shixu said something very succinct: "Now there are ways to deploy, but it takes time to do one by one." Shixu went on to say: "Tomorrow morning, the edict to seek medical treatment will be issued first, and then the news of the emperor's death will be issued, and then the imperial decree will be issued. .” "I agree!" Yuan Shikai said: "It's getting late, and we can't discuss without a decision. Those who are waiting for the news must be dismissed quickly, otherwise there will be more rumors, which is not good for the overall situation."

"Yes!" Yikuang still regarded himself as the leader of the military aircraft, thinking that he had made a decision, and it was the final decision, so he waved to Sura on duty and said, "Go and tell them that there is nothing wrong today, tell them to go back!" So those who inquired about the news dispersed one after another, and the Minister of Military Aircraft continued to discuss a concern raised by Lu Chuanlin: The Revolutionary Party is making a lot of noise, and I am afraid that it will take the opportunity to make trouble. Shouldn't it be transferred to the guard?

This is another big question of disagreement.Zaifeng was in favor of this move; Yikuang believed that Yuan Shikai should be asked about it; but Yuan Shikai did not make a positive statement, only saying that although the deployment of troops was necessary, it would easily cause disturbances outside Beijing.Shixu thinks that there is no need to adjust the soldiers more, as long as the palace is strictly forbidden.But Zhang Zhidong strongly opposed the transfer of troops to Beijing. "This way will cause disturbances in vain. Moreover, the deployment of troops will cost a lot. With this money, it is better to use it to help the poor and ordinary people. On the contrary, it is a good way to stabilize the hearts of the people!"

"Zhang Zhongtang saw it very well. Originally, when winter came, it was time to provide relief." Yuan Shikai said: "And this can also be regarded as the legacy of the late emperor, the benevolent government of the supervisory country." With such an all-encompassing relationship, no one would have any objections, and it was immediately agreed to notify the Du Branch Shangshu Zaize to prepare 500,000 silver and distribute it to banks, money shops, and pawns that need turnover, and try their best to maintain the stability of the market. At this time, it was the end of Chou and the beginning of Yin, and it was the time to get up and go to court on weekdays, but except Zhang Zhidong's daily life, staying up all night was nothing, and Yuan Shikai was full of energy and not tired, the rest of the people were all Yawn again and again.First of all, Lu Chuanlin said that he must take a nap for a while, and proposed to take a temporary rest.Fortunately, preparations were made in Zhilu. Everyone's servants brought soft and thick bedding early, and after a greeting, each arranged a resting place for the master, and waited for him to undress and go to bed. Only Zhang Zhidong wanted to drink "Mao" Wine", Yuan Shikai has already prepared extremely fine dishes, just to accompany him for a drink.

The two were talking over cups in a small pavilion near the water. "Zhongtang," Yuan Shikai said, "Seeing that Cisheng is summoned tonight, he is refreshed, and his condition seems to be not as serious as the rumors!" Zhang Zhidong shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "The setting sun is infinitely beautiful!" "Yes," Yuan Shikai said in a low voice, "Back to the light?" "It should be seen in this way!" Zhang Zhidong said with emotion: "The heroine has been in power for more than 30 years, and it has never existed since ancient times. Unfortunately, no one has come since. Today's situation is probably what Zeng, Zuo, and Hu dreamed. Unexpected."

"Really!" Yuan Shikai said, "I heard people mention Sun Zhongtang's words, which mean a lot." "Oh, what did Sun Xiechen say?" From the character and knowledge of his relatives, Sun Jianai saw that the Guozuo of the Qing Dynasty had the potential to last forever.He once said with deep emotion, "Not only is the old King Gong never to be seen again, but even the old King Dun can be regarded as a virtuous king in the light of the past!" "These words are very meaningful, and his views have their roots. Song Taizong once ordered the magicians to meet the princes..."

Zhang Zhidong took a sip of the wine, put a few pine nuts into his mouth, and while chewing, told Yuan Shikai the story of the Song Dynasty.Song Taizong once called a sorcerer to look at his princes, and he said categorically: "The three kings are precious." It was later Zhenzong. "Afterwards, someone asked the artisan why he saw that the three kings were so precious? He said that he saw that the followers of the three kings would appear in the future one by one. If the servants are like this, the master can know. Xiechen's opinion is thus come." "It makes sense, it makes sense!" Yuan Shikai said: "Only when you know people can you employ them. Just like the prosperity of the Nakado Shogunate, it is not accidental."

"Don't flatter me! It's Wei Ting, the talents you recruited in Beiyang are quite eye-catching." Zhang Zhidong said earnestly: "You should know it yourself!" "Zhongtang," Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to test something, leaned forward, and said in a very low voice: "Shikai has something on his mind, and he has wanted to ask Zhongtang for advice for a long time. It is easy to do things but difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a high-ranking official! There are some taboos in Beiyang, and I am really discouraged. If the empress dowager is still able to see things, I dare not retreat easily, and I will report to Teda for a while.If the empress dowager is honest, please take a look, can I tell you about my illness? "

"Why are you suing for illness?" Zhang Zhidong blurted out. Yuan Shikai was a little confused. I don't know if he asked the question knowingly, or if he didn't understand that his situation was similar to Cui Yugui's. If you think about it carefully, you must be asking questions knowingly.In this case, there is no need to tell the truth. He thought for a while and replied: "Zhongtang, please think about it. The prison is weak, King Qing is old, the deer listens hard, and the world depends on each other. Apart from Zhongtang, what else can Shikai rely on?" This tall hat with a full size plus three made Zhang Zhidong feel more and more drowsy: "There is always another me here!" He said: "If you retreat bravely, let me ask, what can I rely on?"

Yuan Shikai didn't say anything immediately, and it took a long time before he said: "My hesitation is also because I can do something with Zhongtang. The nine-year constitution is related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty. I really can't bear to sit idly by." "That's right!" Zhang Zhidong said, "Some people compare me to Fan Chunren. Could it be that Fan Chunren's strength is only in mediating palace bans?" "That's right! If it wasn't for this annoying matter, then in the name of Mr. Fan Wenzheng, he would have a career that will last forever!" This statement made Zhang Zhidong ambitious, consciously reconciling the Manchu and Han, and helping relatives and nobles. Who can take on this heavy responsibility, who else but me?
