"Can you two tell me what the imperial court is doing? I came to Beijing on orders and brought a group of brothers who were killed on the battlefield to receive merit and rewards, but there was another person on the left who blocked me along the way.
One of them blocked me, and some people asked me to go back with a false imperial edict. When I arrived at the gate of Beijing, I was not allowed to enter the city. They also said that my imperial edict was false and broke the imperial edict. Now I am full of grievances and have no place to appeal. So do you.
Knowing that I have a bad temper, how can any of us, who lick blood from a knife's edge, have a good temper?
My thoughts are very simple. If the emperor wants to see me, I have to hurry up and wait. If anyone dares to stop me at this time, I will beat him until he doesn’t even know his own mother. Even if the city wall of Beijing stops me, I will blow it open.
This is the duty of a minister, but look at what the imperial court has done to this. I am already confused. Can you please tell me clearly what the situation is? We don’t study much and don’t have so much trouble."
Yang Feng looked at Li Lianying and Wang Mingluan lying on the car windows on both sides of him with an aggrieved face and said.
He didn't expect that people on both sides would arrive at the same time. If that was the case, he might as well let them confront each other face to face.
"Master Yang, this time I am following the emperor's decree to order you and the generals to come to the palace to meet the emperor." Wang Mingluan said impatiently.
"Really? You should have told me earlier! Oh, I am very loyal to the emperor. Especially after I received the imperial decree last time to confer the title of first-class uncle on me and the governor of Mining and Zhejiang, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Boss Yang is loyal.
Said grimly.
"That's natural. I am the Minister of Rites. I have prepared appointments for you and the generals. You are the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Who are the generals? Look at my memory." Wang Mingluan said with a smile, he naturally understood.
This is asking for a price. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Yang Feng is now an earl. He is a high-ranking official and has made great achievements in conquering Japan. Indeed, there is no official position other than governor that is suitable for him.
"General Song Qing is the governor of Zhejiang, General Zhang Gaoyuan is the governor of Fujian, General Jiang Zikang is the governor of Taiwan. General Yuan Shikai is the governor of Zhejiang. In addition, Mr. Xue Fucheng is transferred to the governor of Fujian, and Mr. Zhang Quan is the governor of Taiwan." Yang Feng said unceremoniously, this guy is thinking about that.
This place is no longer available. Among other things, the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau makes him covet...
Wang Mingluan took a breath of air. This was the rhythm of preparing to be the king of Min and Zhejiang. From the governor to the admiral of the three provinces, he was his party. What is the difference between this and the vassal king? He dare not agree to such conditions. Thinking about it, he knew that the court must be
If you can't agree, you'll be in trouble if you get caught in the middle.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Li Lianying was still willing to let go of this opportunity and immediately said without hesitation: "Master Yang, as long as you are willing to listen to the Queen Mother, I promise not only to give you these official positions, but also five million taels of silver."
As a reward, I now have one million in silver notes with me."
"Wait a minute, tell me what's going on with the Queen Mother here. Eunuch Li, although this is our first meeting, O'Connor also mentions you often and knows that you are a good person. I have just returned from abroad and I am really concerned about the affairs of the court.
His eyes darkened, please tell me." Yang Feng said in surprise.
"Mr. Yang, what do you have to say to an eunuch? There is no truth in their mouths. The emperor is still waiting to be summoned. It is said that not only will you be promoted to a noble rank, but there will also be a reward of five million taels." Wang Mingluan
He hurriedly said, in this case, agree first and then talk about it. Whether the emperor agrees or not is another matter.
"Traitor, it's you, Weng Tong and the other two treacherous ministers who deceived the Holy One and alienated the Queen Mother and His Majesty's mother and son. Mr. Yang, please don't listen to him. Listen to my servant and tell you carefully." Li Lianying said sadly. When she thought of herself, It is indeed easy for him to enter the state of the situation.
"You eunuch dares to slander the loyal ministers of the imperial court, you are really rebelling!" Wang Mingluan could not let him continue talking. It had not been a day since he had disliked the old eunuch. He hurriedly walked around the front of the car and was about to pull Li Lianying away. Song Qing just thought He stepped forward to persuade him, but Yuan Shikai stopped him. More than 10,000 people, including Yang Feng, watched the fun as if they were watching a monkey show.
"You treacherous minister, I am going to eradicate the traitor for the country today." Li Lianying went up to him without showing any signs of weakness, and the two of them soon struggled with each other. Wang Shilang, who was full of poetry and books, was on the same side as Li Lianying, who had his balls cut off. The father-in-law met his opponent, but unfortunately he had a huge handle on him, so it didn't take long for Li Lianying to steal the peach. Now the poor Wang Shilang was completely at his wits end. He covered his lower body and struggled to escape from Li Lianying's clutches, but this was not possible. It's easy, because men all know that the best way to get rid of him at this time is to grab him with his backhand, but the problem is that the other party has nothing to grab.
"Master Yang, listen to what I'm telling you." Li Lianying proudly grabbed Shilang Wang's vitals while lying down in front of the car window and continued.
"Master Yang, don't...ah!" Wang Shilang was about to speak, but Li Lianying quickly tightened his hand, and the loyal minister's efforts came to an abrupt end.
"Mr. Yang, the imperial edict you received is indeed true, but it was issued by these treacherous ministers who deceived the Holy One. Although I have already taken charge of the government, I am still young after all. Military and state affairs must be controlled by the Queen Mother. These treacherous ministers are not willing to be suppressed by the Queen Mother. In order to steal the power of the imperial court, he has been bewitching the Holy Father to murder the Queen Mother." As soon as Li Lianying said this, he heard Yang Feng exclaim in an exaggerated way: "What? As a son of man, filial piety should be the first priority, even if he is the emperor, he cannot If you murder your own mother, wouldn't that mean you are like a beast?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yang, you are a loyal person, so you naturally understand this truth. However, these treacherous ministers have been deceiving the Holy One regardless of Lun Chang. After listening to the Holy One for a long time, the Holy One will inevitably be shaken. He is just afraid that the loyal and good people in the court will never be revealed. But This time they lied to you that you had just returned from abroad and did not know the inside story, and also that you were dissatisfied with the court because of the war." Li Lianying said hurriedly.
"Objection, objection!" Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
"Yes, objection. That's why they tricked the Emperor into issuing an edict to summon you to the capital, and then hid the Emperor so that you could never see the Emperor. They knew that you were loyal and your subordinate was a tiger and wolf warrior, so they could not see the Emperor. They must be attacking the city. As long as you break into Beijing, there will definitely be chaos. They can take the opportunity to attack the Queen Mother and wait until the Queen Mother is dead to blame you and the generals. This is so vicious." Li Lianying said, As he spoke, he felt that he was so talented.
Wang Shilang behind him stretched out his hand weakly and opened his mouth with a face full of grief and indignation. Before he could speak, Li Lianying exerted force on his hand. Wang Shilang's whole body was so painful that he still had the ability to defend himself. .
At this time, Yang Feng opened his mouth as if he was stupid.
"Then, isn't this official being taken advantage of? What should I do? Bombard the city of Beijing, blow up the city walls, and kill countless soldiers and civilians. This is the crime of confiscating homes and exterminating families." The guy said with a look of fear. .
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang. Those who don't know are not guilty. The Queen Mother has made a decree. Not only are you and the generals not guilty, but because of their contribution to the conquest of the sun, the rewards previously promised by the emperor will remain the same. In addition, the soldiers under his command bravely killed the enemy Yang.
The prestige of our country has been specially rewarded with seven million taels of silver." Li Lianying said with a smile, Cixi had already given her instructions before coming, and she would agree to any of Yang Feng's conditions, especially don't be stingy with money, hundreds or tens of millions of taels.
It will be all right.
"Then I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, the Queen Mother and Lafayette are the most considerate ministers. As long as you serve the Queen Mother wholeheartedly in the future, rewards will be absolutely indispensable." Li Lianying said with a smile.
"Then what should I do next?" Yang Feng asked.
"Since Mr. Yang is here, you might as well meet the Queen Mother with me. It seems that Lafayette appreciates you very much." Li Lianying said.
"This, this, I haven't read any books, and I don't even understand the court etiquette. It's better not to disturb the Queen Mother. Why don't you let Mr. Yuan go back with you? He is a scholar and a loyal queen, so he will be able to inform the Queen Mother.
Everything, as for me and the generals, just wait outside the city. These are guns and cannons. Don't disturb the people. Besides, these rough things are used to killing people. There are no subordinates to control them here.
, and it is easy to cause some troubles." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Ah, then please invite Master Yuan to join me." Li Lianying also said with a sly smile.
"But Eunuch Li, should you let Mr. Wang go first? After all, he is also an official of the imperial court. It doesn't look good if you hold him like this, right?" Yang Feng pointed at Wang Mingluan and said, Mr. Wang has already fainted from the pain.
.
Li Lianying naturally understood what this guy meant, and asked Yuan Shikai to enter the palace to negotiate terms with him. If the agreement was not reached, then he could not blame him for switching to the emperor's arms. Anyway, the city wall had been blown open, and the 10,000-strong army could kill him at any time if he wanted.
Entering Beijing, after all, the trump card was in the hands of others, so it was not easy to play whatever he wanted. He had no other choice but to let go of Wang Mingluan with an embarrassed look on his face, and then took Yuan Shikai and Li Yuncong back to the city to see Cixi in the palace.
went.
"The Queen Mother had no choice but to agree at this time, and she would definitely not be reconciled afterwards. What if she regrets it at that time?" Song Qing said worriedly after they left. What they are doing now is no different from those rebellious officials and traitors in history. This makes traditional
Veterans under ideological education are very uncomfortable.
"If the imperial court regrets, the worst we can do is fight back. If we can open the city of Beijing once, we can open it a second time. You have also seen the fighting power of the Eight Banners Army. Can such an army stop us? Besides, what's the point of the imperial court regretting?
Use it? Can I, Yang Feng, still run where I want? After Japan is finished, our 20,000-strong army will kill anyone who dares not to give way and beat him. You can rest assured and follow my brother. I want money, money, and officials.
"Yang Feng said with a ferocious smile, why he had to come here to blow up the city of Beijing, just to leave a moment's memory of Ci Xi.
