Chapter 195 Yingtai Sunset (5-1)

Partly because Yuan Shikai felt that major incidents should be reduced to minor ones, and partly because Zhao Bingjun, Yang Yide and others discovered that the Revolutionary Party is not afraid of death, but will be retaliated against if forced to do so, so the case of bombing the five ministers and putting Zhang Rong in prison will be over. It's over. Investigating political matters naturally went on as usual, but Shaoying was so frightened that she asked for leave on the pretext of illness and refused to go abroad again, and Xu Shichang did the same.However, his method was ingenious. Taking advantage of the opportunity of setting up a patrol department, Yikuang protected him as a minister. After the edict was issued, Yikuang replied face-to-face: "The patrol department will be established, and the official system and regulations need to be finalized." , The imperial examination has been approved by Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zhidong and others. Since the Bingwu Division, it will be abolished forever. In the past, the tribute students had to plan their own way out.Furthermore, the Japan-Russia peace talks have been completed, and China and Japan need to meet to sign a treaty to accept the three eastern provinces. The Military Aircraft Department is busy, and Xu Shichang should not stay away.In this way, he was exempted from this mission to study abroad.

※ ※ ※ The Treaty of Portsmouth was established, and there was a great uproar in Japan. Riots broke out in Tokyo, and Komura Kotaro became the target of public criticism.Under strict protection, shortly after returning to China, he was sent to China to negotiate the handover of the three eastern provinces. There are two Japanese plenipotentiaries. In addition to Komura, the other is Uchida Yasuya, the Minister to China.The plenipotentiary representatives of China were Yikuang, Prince Qing, Qu Hongji, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Yuan Shikai, Minister of Beiyang. Tang Shaoyi was also appointed as a councilor, who could speak at the meeting.

At the first meeting, each other reviewed the credentials, and Xiaocun and Yuan Shikai made some opening remarks. Yikuang immediately stood up and said, "I am old and have many things to do. I can't attend Chang Chuan. Everything is left to Qu and Yuan." Deal with it." After speaking, he bowed and left the venue. So the formal meeting started.Komura was the first to speak: "This time Japan and Russia are at war, and it is within Chinese territory. The Japanese government is deeply sorry. The Japan-Russia peace treaty has been concluded, and Russia has given Japan the right to lease Luda, as well as the Dongqing Railway from Changchun to Fengtian. , and is within Chinese territory, so I came here specifically to ask the Chinese government to recognize it. This is the only treaty that should be concluded. As for the booty Japan obtained from Russia, it does not need to be included in the treaty. Both parties have full authority to sign the meeting minutes, and A treaty has the same effect, or an exchange of letters is acceptable. Please choose a method."

According to the prior agreement, the Chinese side should have Yuan Shikai answer.Yikuang once said in person: "Negotiations with foreign countries have always been carried out by Beiyang ministers, and Yuan Shikai is very familiar with the military, political and local conditions of the three eastern provinces, as well as the political situation in Japan, so this meeting may as well be handled by Yuan Shikai. If there is a mistake in his speech, Qu Hongji can correct it in time as the "Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"." This statement is quite practical, but it does not derogate Qu Hongji's status, so the Empress Dowager Cixi agreed.This is the reason why Yikuang excused his illness as soon as he arrived at the meeting.But when Yuan Shikai was still considering how to answer, Qu Hongji violated this unwritten rule and gave a clear answer.

This is also because everyone's situation is different, so there are differences in ideas.Yuan Shikai had had close dealings with the Japanese since Qu Hongji was still serving as an examiner in the Imperial Academy, and he knew very well that Komura Jutaro was disgraced in Portsmouth this time.In this meeting, he had to think of various ways to take advantage of it, and he would only be able to explain when he returned to China, so he took every step of the way, and he had to appreciate the true meaning of his words before he could talk about how to deal with it. Qu Hongji is familiar with the rules and regulations of military affairs, and he knows that with the method of "exchanging documents", he must appeal to the superior, and the established discussion may be overturned.Even if the original intention remains unchanged, unnecessary scrutiny between words and sentences is inevitable and troublesome, so it is better to avoid it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nodded and replied: "Sign on the meeting minutes, save each other's trouble, just follow this method." This time, Yuan Shikai naturally had nothing to say.But regardless of whether his opinion was right or not, the agreement was violated, so he complained to Yikuang that night as a "protest". "Qu Jiugong is so brave to do things, I become superfluous. Moreover, he didn't think about what he said. If there is a promise to lose power and humiliate the country in the future, I can neither agree nor object. It is better to be punished with him in the end. Retire bravely in the rapids, protect yourself wisely, please ask the prince to face the above, and allow me to return to my post!"

"Don't bother me at this level! I have my own way to deal with it." Yikuang thought for a while and said: "I have two manuscripts, you can take a look, what's your opinion?" He took out two drafts of the imperial edict, the first of which was related to constitutionalism, and it was written: "... Before that, Tejian Zaize and others went abroad to investigate the politics of various countries, and immediately sent Minister Wang of the Government Affairs Office to set up an investigation political center and recruit generalists. Carefully study, choose the political law of each country that is suitable for the Chinese system, consider the profit and loss, compile it into a book, submit it at any time, and wait for the order to be ruled. All matters related to the opening of the museum will be discussed and written by the king's ministers."

The second is also related to constitutionalism, which means that the purpose of constitutionalization is to appease the people.The upper edict said: "Since the founding of our country, our government has been lenient. The government and the people have been in harmony with each other for a long time. Recently, we have carried out a new policy and strive to become rich and strong. However, there are some people who do not succeed. .Checking his heart, it is actually a treasonous conspiracy under the guise of the party faction. If he does not make an explicit announcement and strictly enforce the ban, he may be in trouble for a long time, and the ignorant and ignorant people will be confused by him. It is detrimental to local law and order, and will greatly hinder the New Deal. The generals and governors will supervise the civil and military officials in the local area, make clear and strictly prohibit them. After this announcement, if there are any evil people who continue to be evil and make rumors to confuse the public Those who are rewarded will be heavily rewarded, closely interviewed at any time, interrogated in detail, except for ignorance and temptation, no treason in advance, the amount is allowed to be reduced at the end, and those who turn themselves in and can point out the leader will not only be exonerated, but will also be punished. In addition to discretionary rewards, the first subordinates and criminals should be punished according to the law of treason. If anyone wins the award of the chief contributor, he is allowed to choose the best award, but he must not implicate the innocent and cause nuisance. Scruples and ineffective arrests, the general governor will strictly participate in the investigation according to the facts, in order to prevent chaos and maintain the overall situation."

After Yuan Shikai finished reading and looked away from the paper, Yiqiang began to explain the reason: "There is a lot of trouble in the south now. They say they want to return the government to the people and send people to investigate, but there is a bomb for no reason. The superiors are very surprised. I don’t know what the people really want? Someone made a memorial saying that the people are good and nothing more than hopeful governance. It’s all the revolutionaries’ nonsense. So Qu Zijiu came up with such an idea to appease the people and at the same time affirm restraint. , the higher-ups said they would show it to you, because you led the petition for the constitution.”

Hearing this, Yuan Shikai expressed joy on the one hand and fear on the other.The joy is that the Empress Dowager Cixi values ​​him, and the fear is that the phrase "Leadership and please make a constitution" vaguely regards him as the leader of the "New Party"! Another kind of limelight is easy to get out, this one can't get out of the limelight!Fortunately, there is no need to hesitate to speak in front of Yikuang, and he immediately defended: "My lord, Zhang Xiangtao is the most enthusiastic about constitutionalism. Other than Zhang Xiangtao, there is no such enthusiasm. Opening a library to compile books is all right, but I have a humble opinion, the promotion of this library must be carefully selected, and the Kang and Liang disciples should not be allowed to mix in and spread heresy."

"Yeah, yum!" Yikuang nodded deeply, "I understand, I understand. Your deeds will definitely be appreciated." "As long as the superiors can know the minds of the subordinates, there is nothing to say when they are exhausted. But..." Yuan Shikai hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Except for the prince, there are quite a few relatives who are not forgiving to me. This point, Bringing it up is discouraging." Yikuang kept his mouth shut and kept silent. After smoking the hookah for a long time, he said slowly, "It's not all relatives, and it's not all banner people. If you keep your eyes on you, there are plenty of people there!" Yuan Shikai listened to every word. "Not all relatives and nobles" means that there is still Tie Liang waiting for his life, "not all banner people" is more obvious, and there are many Han people who are jealous. "Binocular" naturally refers to Qu Hongji.Yuan Shikai thought to himself that having this person in power would be a major hidden danger to him. If he wanted to use Yikuang to attack Qu, he would first have to gnash his teeth on Qu.Here's a guy to take advantage of. So he said: "My lord's words are really penetrating. But I'm not afraid if someone outside makes things difficult for me. I'm afraid that someone inside is giving orders and colluding. If you get up and cover your head, you will be in great danger!" "Ah!" Yikuang opened his eyes wide and asked, "You mean that mad dog's biting was instigated by someone?" The "mad dog" in Yikuang's mouth refers to Cen Chunxuan, and the so-called "someone" can also be understood by each other.Yuan Shikai saw that the words had taken effect, but he refused to admit it clearly, and only said: "My lord, just be more careful!" Yikuang closed his mouth and thought for a while, then suddenly patted the coffee table, "Yes, no wonder! Let's just say that Zhou Rongyao's matter is over. The first day I saw the decree, the mad dog went to the discount that day, and it can't be so fast. Fa, it is obvious that the news was communicated first, and the draft was already drafted there!" It turned out that Zhou Rongyao was single-handedly supported by Yikuang, and he was appointed as the Minister of the Republic of Belgium as a substitute for the third-rank Jingtang.The Dan Zhao was issued in the morning, and the white slip arrived at the evening, saying that Zhou Rongyao was originally the book office of the Guangdong Customs Treasury, eroding public funds, accumulating millions of dollars, and dealing with officials and gentry in Guangdong, just like an adult.When Tan Zhonglin was in charge of Guangdong, he colluded with unscrupulous officials and benefited from his arrogance. Therefore, he bribed the Beijing Dynasty and showed a great air.Then enumerate Zhou Rongyao's crimes of being ill and blind in the country, and ask for dismissal and inspection. As soon as the electronic performance arrived, Qu Hongji insisted on strict enforcement, and Zhou Rongyao sought honor but turned humiliation. He served as a minister for a few days before going abroad, but ended up bankrupt.Qu Hongji's most insidious move was that Zhou Rongyao was sent as a minister by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he frankly admitted his negligence and asked for punishment.In fact, this is a decision made by Yikuang with the qualifications of the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When Qu Hongji said this, it was tantamount to accusing Huai Sang.Although the "superior" didn't punish him, Yikuang's embarrassment caused him to suffer enough. "This mad dog, it turned out that someone let it out to bite." Yi Kuang was so angry that he blew his beard: "Let's wait and see!" "My lord, don't get angry! If you get angry, it will be harmful but not beneficial." Yuan Shikai asked suddenly: "I heard that the fare for suppressing bandits in Guangxi has already been sold?" "Yes! More than three million yuan will be reimbursed." "Supposedly, three years' work will not cost more than three million yuan. But the reimbursement is always reimbursed, and the reimbursement can only be reimbursed." There is a deep meaning in these words.Generally speaking, military expense reimbursement is a typical case. As long as the household and military departments are well managed, and a considerable amount of "ministry fee" is sent as usual, military expense reimbursement will be accepted without exception. The right to refute lies with the imperial court.Yikuang understood what Yuan Shikai meant, so he might as well make things difficult for Cen Chunxuan with the reimbursement of military expenses for suppressing bandits in Guangxi. "But," Yikuang asked, "he has Guangdong aid, can you not approve it? If you refute him, you can't ask an order to send a high-level official to investigate?" "There must be a way! The prince might as well find someone to ask." There was no need to find anyone to ask, Yikuang figured it out by himself.There are two steps to this, the first step is to drag.There are a lot of brochures for military reimbursement, and it takes a few months to find any doubts and ask for a reply. It takes several months to go back and forth like this. The second step is to find an opportunity to transfer Cen Chunxuan away, then turn over the military reimbursement case, send people to Guangdong to conduct a thorough investigation, and find out some evidence of embezzlement of military pay.At that time, Qu Hongji was powerless, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was inconvenient to openly protect him. Even if Cen Chunxuan could not be imprisoned and punished, at least he would have to be beaten until he couldn't get up. This method was conceived in the sedan chair.After getting off the sedan chair and not reaching the military plane, he first went to the court room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find Na Tong, not to discuss with him, but because there was such a proud thing that he couldn't help but tell Na Tong. After listening to Yikuang's speech, Na Tong raised his thumb and said, "The prince's move is really high. At that time, give him a three-level call, and then send him for disobedience!" "Yes!" It turned out that the senior officials were not afraid of being dismissed, but were only afraid of being demoted.Because of the punishment of dismissal, as long as there is an opportunity, such as someone's bail, or a celebration of Qin En, he can be reinstated immediately. If he is demoted, he must climb up step by step.So Yikuang said very enthusiastically: "Yes! Downgrade to three ranks, and get an alternate from the current governor of the first rank to the third rank, that would be fun!" "It's not fun!" Na Tong said with a smile: "Take this alternate and send it to Ke Fengshi, the head of the Clay Paste Bureau. What do you think, my lord?" Yikuang laughed loudly, his tears flowed down his cheeks, his gray beard was covered, he stopped laughing and said: "Qin Xuan, you are really ruined." "Slow down!" Natong lowered his voice and said, "My lord, what you just said was just for fun, right?" "Why?" Yikuang smiled, "From that point, you can see that I'm joking?" "If the lord is not joking, you have to hurry up. The military reimbursement is still mainly based on the household department. Zhang Yeqiu listens to Qu Zijiu's words the most. What else is there to play!" "Yeah, yum! Not bad!" Yi Kuang suddenly said, "Qin Xuan, you have an idea, how to drag it down?" Natong pondered for a while and replied: "The only way to do it is with Tie Baochen. I have a whole set of methods, and I will go back to the prince to discuss it in detail." ※ ※ ※ After the court was over, Yikuang looked at the door and blocked all visitors: "Unless it's that lord, lord Yuan." Natong arrived very early.Chatting around the stove, they calmly talked about a set of methods, the main point is to let Tie Liangzhen get rid of the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. Tie Liang——Tie Baochen's background is the right servant of the household department, but he acts as the acting minister of two ministers: the military department and the household department.This is bragging about relatives and nobles, so Empress Dowager Cixi reused it.Na Tong thinks it's better to give him a favor, and guarantee him to get rid of it.Then he was told to rectify the military supplies and strictly eliminate the excesses.The words are high-sounding, and Tie Liangxi is against the Han people, so naturally Cen Chunxuan's military reimbursement will not be lightly let go. Yikuang readily agreed.When asked about Tieliang's bottom line, who should I give it to?Natong took the opportunity to speak for Ke Fengshi.Yikuang smiled, "Qinxuan, you're confused!" He said, "That's a full vacancy, how can Ke Xun'an be the one?" "If you don't work in office, you will have a title. Han Que and Man Que seem to have nothing to do with each other." One is Na Tong's talk, and the other is Ke Fengshi's filial piety, Yikuang finally nodded, "Okay!" He continued: "When Wei Ting is coming, you can have dinner here and accompany my guests." Natong hesitated to answer.He inherited the legacy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is good at food and loves sensuality. Today he invited two "sisters-in-law" to have dinner at home. It took the cook three days to blindly eat shark fin. Just thinking about it made his mouth water, but Yikuang invited him. It seems inconvenient to say goodbye to accompany Yuan Shikai again. Yikuang saw his embarrassment and knew that his home was exquisite, so he smiled and said: "What's the matter, what delicious food is there, why not make it public?" Seeing the opportunity, Na Tong hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "I was thinking about it. There is a kind of shark's fin. I wonder if it has rotted in the simmer?" As he said, he beckoned to the big girl who was serving the upper room in the palace. People, go back and ask the cook to bring the shark's fin, and there are guests..." Na Tong pondered for a moment and didn't know what to say, but Yi Kuang spoke again, "Is there any guest?" He asked, "Who is it? If it's important, I'll let you go back." "It's irrelevant." Natong had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's Ertian." "Ertian?" Yikuang thought for a while and asked, "Yitian must be Tian Guifeng who is more airy than Lao Tan, and what about Yitian?" "Tian Jiyun." "It turned out to be 'Thinking of Jiuxiao'!" Yi Kuang laughed and said, "He's also a bad tempered one. Forget it, forget it, don't look for them!" Natong also didn't want to be troublesome, so he told the girl who sent the message: "The people you tell me, there are two opera singers, and each of them will send twenty taels of silver to let them go back." So while waiting for Yuan Shikai and the shark's fin, while chatting, Yikuang suddenly asked: "How is Wen Daoxi doing?" "Wen Daoxi?" Natong replied, "He passed away last year." "The next life?" Yi Kuang couldn't help sighing: "Oh! What a pity!" "Why did the prince suddenly think of him?" "I remembered it from 'Thinking of Jiuxiao'." "So it is!" Natong laughed. It turned out that "Xiang Jiuxiao" had a very bad temper and had offended many scholar-officials. Once, Wen Tingshi was annoyed, and he casually cursed "Wangbadan", which is exactly the same as "Xiang Jiuxiao".So some people said: "Talented people talk about their affiliations. After all, they are different. They even pay attention to cursing people." However, the reputation of "Xiang Jiuxiao" became even louder after being scolded. So when Wen Tingshi talked about Weng Tonghe, and Weng Tonghe talked about the coup of 1898, Yikuang said with emotion: "Qinxuan, the officialdom is really dangerous. When Zaiyi and Gangyi were around, I almost missed it." Old life is not guaranteed! Alas, what are we talking about about the Hundred Days Reform, about the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people. You and I still have a leisurely life around the stove today, and we should be satisfied." "My lord's words are good, but there are people who will not let you live a leisurely life!" "You mean Cen San?" Yi Kuang said angrily again: "Riding a donkey to read the libretto, let's wait and see." Speaking of this, I only heard a loud voice outside the door: "Master Yuan is here!" So Natong got up, went to the door, the curtain was lifted, Yuan Shikai came in official uniform, and was about to salute, Yikuang stood up and ordered loudly: "Serve Master Yuan to change clothes." Yuan Shikai's servant had brought his bag with him.After changing clothes, I greeted Yi Kuang again, and said at the same time: "Thank you, my lord!" "Hey! Thank you for what?" "Your Majesty has dealt with you." Yuan Shikai replied: "As soon as I arrived at the meeting today, Qu Zijiu said, 'Qingdi can't take care of his illness, and I invite you to preside over the meeting in the future. This is an explanation from the superior, please don't be polite.' The explanation from the superior is, of course, That's why the lord spoke." "That's right! I've interviewed the Empress Dowager." Yikuang replied, "The Empress Dowager said yes, as it should be!" 'Wei Ting,' Na Tong reminded him, "Qu Zijiu is not a 'punting in his stomach' kind of person! " Why wait for Natong to remind him that Yuan Shikai already knew it well, nodded and replied: "Yes. So every time I speak at the conference table, I always ask him. If there is something inconsiderate, please ask him correct." "That's all!" Na Tong couldn't help but said again: "Wei Ting, you have to know that the prince is the only one who doesn't hate you among relatives and nobles." I'm afraid I'm the only one who hates you." "That's not the case at all!" Yi Kuang interjected, "Duan Lao Si will never be jealous of comforting the court, right?" "Duan Lao Si should be classified as Han Chinese." Na Tong was surprised when he turned to Yuan Shikai, "Wei Ting, what's the matter with you?" Only then did Yuan Shikai realize that his complexion must have changed drastically.It was an unintentional remark, and he didn't realize the weight of this remark at all, but Yuan Shikai was greatly shocked. As he said, he was too isolated, and if he was a target of public criticism among relatives and nobles, it was a big hidden worry!If there is no accident, it will be fine, and if there is an accident, the possibility of life will not be guaranteed.Turning to this thought, naturally changed color unknowingly. Of course, this is something that has to be covered up, "You don't need to get help from others, as long as you have enough strength." He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I have the prince to support me and Qin Xuan to take care of me, so what are you afraid of?" "I'm not afraid inside, but I'm afraid of collusion between inside and outside." Cen Chunxuan was the one who was worried about Yikuang, and he said very vigorously at this time: "Wei Ting, what you said yesterday, I figured it out, and it can be said to be done. Sure, it's all thanks to Qin Xuan!" "Oh," Yuan Shikai asked with great concern, "what can I do?" "Let's eat while talking!" Na Tong rubbed his stomach, and the master ordered the dinner to be served.Yuan Shikai munched on the shark's fin while listening to Na Tong's detailed talk about how to use Tieliang to make Cen Chunxuan. He only felt that the cook's shark's fin was even more beautiful. That is to say, just after the conversation, before Yuan Shikai could express his opinion, the servant quietly hid himself beside the master and said something in a low voice. Yikuang immediately laughed and said, "Coincidentally! When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there soon." "Is Tie Baochen here?" Na Tong asked. "Yes." Yi Kuang hesitated a little, "It seems to be blocking..." "My lord," Na Tong rushed to say, "Why don't you invite me to sit with you?" Yikuang thought for a while and said, "Okay!" So the servant went to Yanke, and another servant came to refill the cups and chopsticks.As soon as Tie Liang entered the room, he greeted Yi Kuang first, and then greeted Na Tong and Yuan Shikai separately. "Please sit down!" Yikuang said: "The shark's fin of Qinxuan's family is extremely expensive, don't say anything, eat more first." As he spoke, he personally scooped up a small bowl of shark fin and placed it in front of the guests. Tie Liang didn't say anything, he swallowed two spoonfuls, and brought the wine glass to his lips quickly, otherwise, the jelly of the shark's fin would stick the upper and lower lips. "That's great! The last time I went to the south, I learned a saying, 'When you eat, thank you for your feet!' It is very useful today." "You're really good!" Yikuang said with a smile, "You even learned the southern sayings!" "It shows that Baochen is willing to pay attention everywhere." Yuan Shikai said: "The memorial to the battalion was spot-checked. It took me a few days to read it carefully. It is said that the standing army is the best in Hubei, and Henan is the best. , Jiangsu, and Jiangxi are next in line, being impartial and selfless has become a definite assessment.” So the topic turned to the "Hejian Autumn Exercise" not long ago. Tie Liang also had a very pertinent criticism of the newly built army of the four Beiyang towns.After Yikuang finished listening, he brought it up to Cen Chunxuan again. "Every time Cen San reported to suppress the bandits, he was extravagant and vigorous, as if he was the only one who led elite soldiers. Baochen, what do you think?" "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I dare not say it." "Have you ever heard someone talk about it?" "Yes." Tie Liang thought for a while and said: "I heard rumors that he has one good advantage in leading troops, and he is quite disciplined." Hearing this, Yuan Shikai was unconvinced, and blurted out: "Could it be that the Beiyang Army doesn't pay attention to discipline?" "I'm referring to the green battalion. It can't be compared with the new army." Tie Liang shook his head. "The green battalion is too corrupt. I don't know how many jokes there are." "Is there a joke about the Guangdong and Guangxi Green Camp?" Yikuang asked. "Yes!" Tie Liang replied, "I heard it too, but I don't know if it's true or not." "Whether it's true or not?" Yikuang encouraged: "As long as it's funny, it's fine if it helps the drink!" As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Tie Liang himself, and kept urging him to speak quickly. "When Cen Yunjie arrived in Guangxi, he was stationed in Wuzhou, and Ke Xun'an still lived in the provincial capital..." The provincial capital of Guangxi is Guilin.Although the governors are from different cities, the political affairs of Guangxi could have been decided by Ke Fengshi, but instead they had to be approved by the governor. The so-called "Governor's Meeting" was actually written by Cen Chunxuan, and Ke Fengshi was just listed. The governors and governors are in a hurry, and they don't trust each other.What Ke Fengshi is most worried about is that if the bandits attack the provincial capital, Cen Chunxuan will sit idly by and even encircle and suppress from three sides, leaving only the side to Guilin. Therefore, Ke Fengshi set up a cannon in the lobby of the governor's yamen, and passed it down from far and near as a joke.Later, another Taoist was transferred from Jiangxi, who was a talent he had known when he was acting as the governor of Jiangxi. This person was originally from southern Anhui, and his name was Wang Ruikai. Although he was a civil servant, he was quite capable of leading troops.After Ke Fengshi transferred him to Guangxi, he was asked to command five battalions and be responsible for guarding the governor's yamen.Cen Chunxuan saw that his five battalions had sufficient equipment and strong men, and they were able to fight a tough battle or two. He thought to himself, Wang Ruikai prides himself on being a well-known soldier and has come from thousands of miles away, or he is eager to make a show, so he might as well use it. After making up his mind, he added words everywhere, hoping that he would volunteer.But when Wang Ruikai talked about the military, although he talked eloquently and logically, he just refused to say a word of kindness when it came to a critical moment.Cen Chunxuan couldn't help being disappointed, but he still refused to give up. Slowly, he saw that it was not that Wang Ruikai didn't want to make contributions, let alone that he didn't know how to fight, but that he lacked courage.If he can force his courage, once he is in battle, he will not hesitate and go forward desperately. So, I chose a day to post a post, feasted the soldiers, and deliberately persuaded Wang Ruikai to drink during the banquet.Wang Ruikai's drinking capacity is very good, but the frequent persuasion and persuasion are more than usual, which inevitably makes people suspicious.Wang Ruikai was very vigilant, his drink was dry, but his mind was very clear, it seemed that it was time for Cen Chunxuan to get angry, and he started to drink, intentionally getting himself drunk, and vomited in a mess on the spot during the banquet. On the second day, Ke Fengshi went to find him, and said unhappily, "Why are you so drunk that you don't know anything about human affairs, and made such a big shame? You even lost my face!" "Respond to your lord's words," Wang Ruikai leaned forward and replied in a low voice, "I have no choice but to do so. In order to protect my lord, I have no choice but to feel wronged." "how do I say this?" "Zhatai has trouble with the adults, and does everything possible, trying to transfer Zhidao out to fight bandits. Once Zhidao leads troops out of the provincial capital, if there is a policeman, Zhitai will definitely keep me. If I go back to the teacher to rescue, say I Acting without authorization and disobedience to the schedule is a crime that requires your head. Please think about it, my lord, can you save the profession?" "Ah! Ah! So he has such a plan!" "That's not the plan. With his self-importance, why do you have to be so perfunctory to me?" Wang Ruikai said immediately: "It is wrong for this elite soldier not to fight, so it is very difficult to deal with it, so we must not let it go." He had a chance to speak. Once he spoke, I couldn't say that my soldiers were only for protecting the governor, so I had to agree. Then, how can adults keep me? " "That's right, that's right! It's because I buried your painstaking efforts and blamed you!" Ke Fengshi thought for a while and then said, "But Cen San's intentions are too disgusting, I want to touch him!" Ke Fengshi "touched" Cen Chunxuan more than once, and Yikuang knew it very well.Hearing Tie Liang talk about this, he applauded, "It turns out that Ke Xun'an's visit to him was such an inside story!" He said, "In terms of it, it's Cen San who suffered from being dumb." "What?" Natong asked, "What did Ke Xun'an say in the brochure?" "Say he'd been drinking too much in the army, and forced his subordinates to get drunk!" "That was also Wang Ruikai's idea." Tie Liang interjected, "If it weren't for being so preemptive, Cen Yunjie might have read Wang Ruikai's book, so he couldn't eat it and walked away!" "However," Tie Liang questioned: "Ke Xun'an's move is quite hard to say for himself!" It turned out that according to the general rule at that time, the impeached were all ordered to "understand the answer".When Cen Chunxuan played back, he fought back with all his heart, and Ke Fengshi was dismissed because of this, so Tie Liang had such doubts, but he didn't know that Yikuang and Yuan Shikai had looked at Ke Fengshi differently because of this.A good fortune is a loss, but safety is not a blessing. Naturally, everyone present is unwilling to talk to him about the gains and losses during the process.This is the end of the topic about Cen Chunxuan.
