After Tan Sitong read it out from above, he was very happy when he saw that Liu Hai had accepted the order without even taking a hit.
Then Tan Sitong put the imperial edict into Liu Hai's hands.
After Liu Hai received the imperial edict, he stood up and said apologetically to Tan Sitong: "Brother Tan is here to take care of me. I will put the imperial edict away and we can talk freely with you."
"Master Liu, if you have something to do, just go and do it. Don't worry about me."
Liu Hai left the study again. She walked around to the back house, and then put the imperial edict in a secret compartment in her inner study.
This hidden compartment is no ordinary thing. There is also a safe that Liu Hai bought from now on inside.
With this new safe, people from the Qing Dynasty plane may not be able to steal anything from Liu Hai.
After Liu Hai put away his things, he returned to the flower hall.
Next, Liu Hai and Tan Sitong expressed their opinions and discussed national affairs in the flower hall.
As the two sides talked like this, the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
Liu Hai felt that Tan Sitong was from the Qing Dynasty, and he was able to see the general trend of the world clearly, and he also had a positive attitude.
However, Tan Sitong felt that Liu Hai was knowledgeable and could list everything about the Qing Dynasty and overseas affairs. Compared with the Qing Dynasty officials he knew, Liu Hai's knowledge and mind were already outstanding.
To be honest, when Tan Sitong compared Liu Hai with his teacher Kang Youwei, he found that Kang Youwei and Liu Hai were like a firefly compared to the bright moon. They were incomparable.
The two of them talked from noon to evening, and they didn't even eat lunch.
When the sky darkened, the sound of jingling rings suddenly sounded outside, and then a luxurious woman lifted the curtain and entered the flower hall.
Liu Hai turned around and saw that it was his wife, Zeng Yuying, who was here.
So Liu Hai quickly stepped forward to support Zeng Yuying and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Zeng Yuying glanced at Liu Hai angrily, "You don't even look at what time it is now? You didn't eat at noon, and you didn't let the servants prepare dinner in the evening. Have you really become a god? Can you not drink?
Food?"
After hearing this, Liu Hai felt his stomach growling, so he smiled and said, "I met a close friend today, and we were so busy chatting that we even forgot to eat. It's really a sin."
Next, Liu Hai helped Zeng Yuying to come to Tan Sitong and said to him: "Brother, this is your sister-in-law Zeng Yuying, the youngest daughter of the former Governor of Liangjiang, Zeng Guoquan."
Tan Sitong had already turned around when he saw Zeng Yuying come in. Now that Liu Hai introduced her, he lowered his head and turned around to salute Zeng Yuying.
After the introduction, Liu Hai said to Zeng Yuying: "Madam, go and have someone prepare a table of wine and food, and bring it to the flower hall. Brother Tan Xian and I will have a drink and talk."
Zeng Yuying nodded, agreed and bowed out.
Soon everyone was in the flower hall, and Fei Liuhai and Tan Sitong prepared a table of wine and food.
Next, the two of them chatted until late at night. Liu Hai saw that it was getting really late, so he ordered someone to prepare a guest room for Tan Sitong in the mansion.
Liu Hai sighed and thought about today's conversation with Tan Sitong, and returned to his bedroom hazy.
And here, Zeng Yuying has been waiting for him for a long time.
As soon as Zeng Yuying saw Liu Hai back, she immediately stepped forward to change his clothes, and then complained: "Who was that Tan Sitong just now? I saw that you had a very good conversation with him."
"Well, this Tan Sitong is the son of the governor of Hubei. He is now working in the military aircraft department. He is really a talented man. It's a pity that we met too late."
Liu Hai said that he was really unwilling to do so, because in today's conversation, although Liu Hai knew from Tan Sitong's words that he wanted to revitalize the country, his loyalty to Emperor Guangxu was also ironclad, and now he wanted to conquer it
Tan Sitong, it is probably impossible for him to be used by himself.
In the next few days, Liu Hai spent time in the mansion chatting with Tan Sitong.
As they talked, the two of them talked about the reform.
At that time, Tan Sitong told Liu Hai impassionedly that after the reform and reform, the country was prosperous and powerful, and all the countries came to the DPRK.
Now when talking about the policies adopted by the country after the reform and reform, you followed the West and established a parliament.
Liu Hai listened to Tan Sitong's words and felt a little unhappy. He was different now from when he looked at the Qing Dynasty plane.
As Liu Hai's position in Liangjiang becomes increasingly stable, he can now be said to be a man of his word in Liangjiang.
Now that I heard that Tan Sitong wanted to set up a parliament in the Qing Dynasty, I started to think about it. It turned out that these people had this idea.
This is to allow themselves to serve as their spearmen, first to use themselves to eradicate the opposition of the new faction, and then to use parliament to suppress themselves, and finally they will take power.
Liu Hai has now sentenced these new-minded people to death in his heart. When he takes charge of the court, he will never appoint these new-minded people, otherwise it will bring trouble to himself.
But Liu Hai is still sharing the same fate with Tan Si. He should keep them at bay for now, and when he succeeds in his big things, he will let these people suffer some hardships and let them know that the world is controlled by layers of poles.
Liu Hai entertained Tan Sitong here for a few days and finally calmed him down. As a result, he was able to report that his uncle Liu Kunyi had stopped at the Nanjing Pier.
After Liu Hai received the news, he thought about it in his mind. At this critical moment, his uncle came to Liangjiang to find him. What on earth was going on?
However, Liu Hai also made a rough guess through the tense situation during this period.
But Liu Hai couldn't think about it anymore. He immediately ordered someone to go to the inner house to inform his wife Zeng Yuying.
Then the couple took their two children, Liu Wenhao and Liu Wenbin, out together to meet Liu Kunyi on the pier.
As for Liu Hai's concubine Chen Yuting, she naturally has no chance to attend such an occasion.
Liu Hai took his wife and children, accompanied by a group of entourage, to the Nanjing Pier.
By the time Liu Hai arrived at Ma Tou, the place was already heavily guarded, and all the idle people were herded away on both sides.
Liu Hai and his wife hurriedly got out of the car and came to the pier. They saw a three-story official ship parked on the pier.
When Liu Hai came to the official ship, someone immediately put him on the gangplank. Liu Hai took his wife and children and carefully boarded the official ship.
At this time, there was already a butler at the bow of the ship, waiting for Liu Hai.
When the housekeeper saw Liu Hai, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Zhou Fu, I have met the eldest young master."
Liu Hai nodded to the housekeeper and said noncommittally: "Go and report to your uncle and ask Liu Hai to see you."
After listening to Liu Hai's words, the housekeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "The master has already given instructions. When the young master comes, you can go in directly."
Liu Hai nodded after listening, and then under the leadership of the housekeeper, he took his wife and children into the cabin.
In the spacious cabin of the ship, Liu Kunyi was sitting there drinking tea.
After Liu Kun came in, he first knelt down on the ground with Zeng Yuying and saluted Liu Kun. Liu Hai's two children also followed their father on the ground obediently.
Liu Kun smiled and said: "My family, why are you doing this heavy gift? Get up quickly."
After hearing this, Liu Hai also smiled and replied: "I haven't seen my uncle for several years, so giving him a bite is the right thing to do."
As he spoke, Liu Hai stood up from the ground, and Zeng Yuying and the two children who were following him also stood up.
As soon as Liu Kun sat up and looked at Liu Hai's two children, he smiled, opened his hands, called them to his side, and took a closer look.
Then he said to Liu Hai who was standing in front of him: "These two children look like they are blessed, and their future prospects are limitless."
After hearing this, Liu Hai just smiled and did not comment. In his heart, he would rule China in the future, and his two children were naturally precious.
Next, Liu Kunyi got out of the cabin with the help of Liu Hai, and then left the pier with a group of Hu servants cheering in front of him, and returned to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion after a long absence.
When she returned to the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang, Zeng Yuying was arranged to live by Liu Kunyi, and then she left with her children, leaving the uncle and nephew alone in the study.
At this time, Liu Kunyi asked Liu Hai with a straight face, "You have gone too far during this period. You have spent time training troops in the Liangjiang area and selecting people. Do you want to rebel?"
Liu Hai didn't dare to say anything after hearing Liu Kunyi's accusation. He just stood there with his head lowered. In fact, he didn't agree with Liu Kunyi's words.
But when Liu Kun saw Liu Hai standing there quite honestly, he thought he still had some prestige, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Have you heard about the recent events in the capital?"
As soon as Liu Hai heard Liu Kun ask about this matter, and looked at his words and deeds after he arrived, he understood which side he was on.
However, Liu Hai disagreed with Liu Kunyi's idea, so he said: "There is a reform in the capital during this period. From my nephew's point of view, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
"A good thing? You are right. This is indeed a good thing. But have you ever thought about whether this good thing can be done?"
When Liu Hai heard this, he understood in his heart that Liu Kunyi didn't actually want to change the law, but he just saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was so powerful that he knew that Emperor Guangxu and his gang couldn't achieve anything.
So Liu Hai said confidently: "Although the people around the emperor are said to be ambitious and talented, don't they still have my nephew?"
"You? You are ambitious, but don't you take a look at the people around you?"
"You are surrounded by people from the imperial court. My good nephew, you don't even know it, and you still want to daydream like this?"
After listening to Liu Kunyi's words, Liu Hai thought about it in his mind. If he refused Liu Kunyi forcefully now, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager Cixi would have scruples.
Temporarily stabilize the Empress Dowager Cixi and allow her to dare to do what she should do, and only then will she be able to get the maximum benefit.
