Chapter 2 second quarter

That night, Fukun specially arranged a feast for Sun Yuwen, and between the cups and plates, there was a secret order from the palace to discuss. "The Shangyu has come down." Fu Kun said in a low voice: "You know the meaning of the superiors. How to proceed from now on, Mr. Li has a word to ask you for advice." Sun Yuwen knew the "meaning from above" a long time ago, that repairing Sanhai was just a cover-up, in fact, he wanted to build Qingyi Garden. How to raise funds and how to carry out the project are generally agreed upon.But empty words are easy, but it is not so simple to put empty words into practice.So Sun Yuwen fell silent, just drinking one cup after another.

Sun Yuwen is a good drinker, the more he drinks, the sharper his thinking will be, so Fu Kun doesn't rush him. Sun Yuwen didn't speak until he had drunk a dozen or so glasses of wine. "There is a key person in it. If this person is done well, the big deal is half done." "You mean Chaoyi?" Yan Jingming was from Chaoyi, Shaanxi. Of course, he was also a key figure, but, "he's next." Sun Yuwen said, "it's Li Xiang." "Hmm." Fu Kun nodded deeply, "Why are you perfunctory?" "Naturally, it is extra pretentious to let them know that they love Tron, and then repay the gratitude, and the decree must be obeyed."

"Zhongtang!" Sun Yuwen suddenly asked suspiciously, "How do you see the way of speaking recently?" "In the battle of Majiang, Qingliu was defeated, and he was much more depressed than before." Fu Kun raised his glass to respect, "Laishan, this is your meritorious service!" Sun Yuwen accepted his toast without hesitation.If attacking Qingliu is considered a meritorious service, then what Sun Yuwen built is truly extraordinary.At that time, he made a plan to send Zhang Peilun, Chen Baochen, and Wu Dacheng, among the four remonstrances of the Imperial Academy, to the military affairs associations of Fujian and the North and South Oceans, so that the scholars who talked loudly and talked about wars on paper, went to the commander-in-chief, which was like sending them into the clouds. , and wait to see them fall to pieces.Sure enough, Ma Jiang was defeated, and then pursued the responsibility of sponsoring Tang Jiong and Xu Yanxu, who had humiliated the country by bereaved teachers. Both Zhang and Chen were severely condemned.Qingliu was tongue-tied and silent like cicadas, and those who had suffered from Qingliu all clapped their hands and applauded, so there was a harsh pairing. When he was dismissed, Zhang Peilun used the words "let's see first" in the army, which meant that he had to wait to see Wu Dachen's "good-looking".

The second couplet is to use Zhang Zhidong, the most proud of Qingliu, as a foil.Zhang Zhidong was released from the cabinet to be the governor of Shanxi. Xie Zhezhong said, "Dare to forget the eight-face management", which has become a topic for a long time, and here is a sarcasm: "Eight-face management, but Shanxi bans smoking, and Guangdong opens gambling." Smoking is prohibited. It is a good thing, the re-opening of the "surname" in Guangdong is to raise wages, and it is a last resort in Zhang Zhidong, and the three characters "no more" are used, which has a humble meaning, which is very obvious.

However, after more than a year, Hanlin Sijian cleaned up half of Sun Yuwen's affairs.Then there is Deng Chengxiu, Sun Yuwen imitated the way that King Gong dealt with Woren's objection to the establishment of Tongwenguan, and persuaded King Chun to ask for an order to send Deng Chengxiu to the prime minister's office of national affairs, so that he could no longer criticize Western affairs.But having said that, as long as the "Iron Man" is in Beijing, he has to be guarded everywhere. "Naturally, the way of speaking is not as arrogant as before. However, half of it is because there is no topic. Although you can issue a decree in the dark about the garden repair, you can't cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand. Zhongtang," Sun Yuwen asked: "If someone As in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, there was a quarrel with each other, and one after another, the papers asking for the suspension of work were posted one after another, how should I deal with it?"

"That's what I'm worried about. Sheng Boxi can be regarded as a rising leader in Qingliu, but his sharpness is not as good as before. With the kindness and preferential treatment, Weng Shuping can win him over, so he probably won't talk too much. It's hard to say anything else." Fu Kun went on to say Said: "I think Deng Tiexiang will never be silent." "Deng Tiexiang's affairs are easy to handle. There is an errand waiting for him in heaven." Sun Yuwen said, "You might as well mention it to Master Qi sometime." "Oh!" Fu Kun asked very attentively, "You mean you want me to sponsor Deng Tiexiang for an errand. What is it?"

"China and France are about to survey the border between China and Vietnam. Deng Tiexiang can go there." "Here!" Fu Kun praised, "he is both a prime minister and a Cantonese. He is a man and a place. He is really a mission made by nature. Laishan, you really want to get it. However, going deep into the wild and smoky land is better than serving as an army." It's still hard outside Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid he won't go." "What kind of talk is this!" Sun Yuwen replied in a serious manner: "How can you allow him to evade the matter of being loyal to the emperor? This level, don't worry, there are quite a few ignorant people in the Imperial Academy who want to kill chickens and frighten them." Monkey, find one or two to do the surgery."

Fu Kun was gentle and easy-going, knowing Sun Yuwen's sinister and vicious methods, he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded him: "I can find someone to clear it up, and teach them to understand the pros and cons, that's all." "This generation is young and arrogant, who do you want to listen to?" Sun Yuwen drank a glass of wine and said thoughtfully, "There is someone who just happened to use him to make a happy Shunqi pill for Li Xiang." "Lai Shan, who are you thinking of?" "Liang Xinghai."
