Chapter 653: Martial Luck in the Sky, Steel Armor in the Front
Queenie's reminder is right.
If the meeting of princes and ministers to discuss political affairs is not handled well, it will be a trap, a trap that will lead the emperor into a trap.
It is necessary to prevent Fulehun, the actual leader of the Qing government, from using the pretext of meetings to get rid of relevant competitors, so as to achieve the integration of power and become the real "rich dad".
After all, on the surface, the old boy is now relatively powerful in the capital.
Just one nine-door control is enough to scare people.
In the past six months, things have been booming in Beijing. Once people expand, their views on things and people will definitely change.
In the face of the power struggle, there is no family affection at all, let alone the brotherhood between Jia and Fu that can be shaken at any time.
More than once, both of them wanted to shoot each other to death with small guns.
However, Jia Liu felt that even if the old rich man wanted to kill him, he would not do it now.
At least before Qianlong, the old fourth devil, died, he and the old rich man still had many common interests.
Therefore, Queenie is a bit alarmist, and he does not even rule out that the sincere uncle is trying to alienate his relationship with the old rich man, thereby ruining the foundation of the Jia Fu alliance.
"Fu Zhongtang is sometimes as confused as a child, but I still believe in his character, and he will not harm me, nor will he."
If the rich old man in Beijing could hear such a pertinent evaluation of him from the wise brother of Sixth Son, his nose would probably be sore.
After saying this, Brother Liuzi felt guilty for no reason. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes that he had just glued with saliva yesterday from his pocket. He silently took one out and came to the window sill, looking at the green mountains and green waters in the distance.
In a daze.
Enming and Jin Jian did not dare to speculate on the emperor's feelings, and they did not think that Fuzhongtang would harm the emperor's feelings. After all, before they came to Jingling, Fuzhongtang repeatedly confessed that he and the emperor were good friends. If everything about Jingling was
If you have any disputes, you can talk about it.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Fuzhongtang doesn't look like someone who wants to fall out with Master Jia Jia.
Queenie quietly walked to the window and whispered: "Sir, there used to be a friendship boat between you and Zhongtang, but in my opinion, you and Zhongtang are going in completely different directions. You are trying to turn right.
, one of them fights hard to the left!"
"oh?"
Queeni's description made the cigarette in Jia Liu's hand no longer smell good. She glanced at Lao Kui and told him rationally that what Lao Kui said was reasonable, because in fact he and Lao Kui were not in the same boat.
"If we want to completely reach an agreement, unless this boat is flooded, the prince-in-law and the middle hall have to stop arguing about the direction for the sake of their own lives, and first stick up their buttocks and use a gourd to scoop out the water in the cabin."
Jia Liu couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Queenie, who was getting better and better: "Speak more clearly."
"Yes Yes,"
Queenie hit the nail on the head and pointed out that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the prince-in-law and Fuzhongtang, that is, the issue of whether to have the Qing Dynasty or not.
That is to say, the fundamental interests of rich dad and Uncle Jia are opposite!
One is Li Hongzhang, who is desperately trying to fix the problem, and the other is Yuan Shikai, who is secretly planning to overturn the situation.
The fundamental interests are in conflict. Who dares to rule out that rich dad will not take risks and take advantage of the opportunity of convening a national meeting to kill all opponents that are not conducive to the stability and development of the Qing Dynasty.
For safety reasons, Queeni suggested that Mr. Jia Jia should not go to the capital for meetings and could control the situation behind the scenes in Jingling.
If Fu Zhongtang had no harmful intentions, everyone would be happy with the result.
After all, the number of votes in the hands of the emperor is very considerable.
If Fuzhong Hall really holds a Hongmen Banquet, the result will definitely be happy.
The prince-in-law can raise an army on the side of the Qing emperor and kill the old rich man, a traitor to the Qing Dynasty, in an upright and honest manner in the name of supporting the emperor.
Then, Kuibutang can become Kuizhongtang, taking care of the prince's troubles.
"Life is like moving forward with a heavy burden, so don't be impatient. Throughout my life, I have regarded lack of freedom as a normal thing and never felt it was insufficient. If you have desires in your heart, you should be respectful and tolerant, otherwise nothing will last long. As the saying goes, it is better to blame yourself than to blame others, and to save yourself is not as good as to blame others.
"
"Sir, can you speak more slowly? I am a slow official in writing."
"Oh, okay."
Jia Liu put out the cigarette butt in his hand and slowed down his speech so that Queenie could completely record every word he said.
"Martial fortune is in the sky, steel armor is in front, and merit is under my feet! I have to go to this National Congress. If I don't go, it will be seen as cowardly. If there is really murderous intention all over the capital, then I will die.
Go fight, as the saying goes, risk your life and survive. If you are cowardly, how can you conquer the world?"
Jia Liu must go to this conference.
Even if the old rich man didn't mean to kill him, he would still go.
Because this National Congress was a great event for Jia Jiashikai to truly establish himself in the court and give full play to his influence.
At the same time, it is also a touchstone of how valuable he is as the leader of the feudal territory.
It is also a great opportunity to gather the power of the Jia clan.
Whether I can seize the power of the Qing Dynasty without bloodshed in the future will also depend on the outcome of this conference.
As for the danger, as a court official with mature experience in blackmail, how could he give others the opportunity to hack him?
Regardless of Queenie's earnest words, Ruilin, the deputy governor of Jehol, who was performing a blockade mission around Jingling, was ordered to lead his cavalry to Beijing with him. He also ordered Li Mi, the commander of the First Regiment of the Zhili Army, to lead his troops to the Shunyi area.
.
After arranging all this, he ordered deputy director Ding Qing and security brigade captain Baozhu to arrange the specific security work for the capital. At the same time, he secretly mobilized all the forces of the Capital Branch of the Gongjinhui, including the Secret Service, to carry out targeted intelligence collection work and bring the capital to the capital.
The garrison strength must be mobilized to find out whether the old rich man really held a Hongmen Banquet in Beijing.
Since Queenie, Enming, and Jin Jian all have the right to vote, Jia Liu must seize these three votes, so Enming and Jin Jian were asked to go to Beijing first on the pretext of reporting on work, and at the same time they also acted as eyes and ears.
Two days later, Jia Liu set off from Jingling and went to Beijing for a meeting under the protection of more than 2,000 people from the accompanying guards and Jehol cavalry.
At the same time, all kinds of intelligence came in one after another. Apart from the normal transfers in Beijing, there was no sign that the old rich man was secretly up to something.
However, the old rich man made a big move, which was to issue an order in the name of Qianlong for Prince Li's twelfth elder brother Yongcang to preside over a meeting of princes and ministers to discuss political affairs.
In this imperial edict, he said that he had been in poor health since the death of the Queen Mother last year and could not manage the government affairs personally for a long time. Therefore, he requested the governors of all provinces and six official documents, including secret documents from each place, to send a copy to the Prince.
This is the meaning of letting Yong Cang supervise the country, and it is also a signal to officially release to the people of the world that the twelfth prince is the emperor and heir apparent.
If this meeting of princes and ministers on political affairs is successfully held, the status of Crown Prince Yongxun will definitely be more stable.
From this, Jia Liu also deduced that the old rich man would probably stop causing trouble, because it was more important to make Yong Cun the crown prince than to kill himself.
What moved Jia Liu was that the old rich man actually came out of the city to pick him up.
It was very solemn, and three military ministers came.
This kind of welcome treatment is second only to that of the great general Nian Gengyao.
"It's hard work. I feel relieved when you come. There are many things that I wouldn't know how to do if you didn't come."
The smile on the old man's face was the same as before, which made Jia Liuxue feel more cordial. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He said with embarrassment: "Earlier, I was worried that my elder brother wanted to kill me when he called me to the meeting. Now it seems that he is."
Brother, I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
While speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the city gate building.
