Chapter 204 Minister's Book

In Nanjing, on this street that is easy to get a new name on May 16, a black hard-top wild horse car sounded along the way and came to the Nanjing Weaving Bureau of Hantangfang. The predecessor of the Nanjing Weaving Bureau was the Jiangning Bureau of Jiangning Weaving Bureau. Before the restoration, the Qing Dynasty had a difficult intention of the attendance system of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau. After the restoration, the original The Jiangning Weaving Bureau, which was facing the risk of being abolished, naturally did not cut. When the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was going to disperse, Hantangfang invested 3 million yuan to buy the three bureaus of Jiangning, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then used the original fabrics issued by the three bureaus to make high-end Hanchang and sell them to the people. After the restoration, the Han style was restored, which made the Han and Tang Fang made a big profit in the moon.

"Jiangning Weaving Bureau!"

Picking up the window curtain, Zhang Zhidong read the sign of Jiangning Weaving Bureau. He was not unfamiliar with this place. When he was in charge of Liangjiang three times, he came here several times to urge Gongjin and asked for private brocade, but now Jiangning Weaving Bureau has become a private factory.

"Get out of the car. I'll show you something."

Zhang Zhidong, who is in the position of political advice, said to Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping beside him. At this time, the door had been opened by the guards.

When the three people walked into the Jiangning Weaving Bureau together, the concierge outside the door still remembered that the leader was the ruling axe to consult the government. In recent days, he came to this place and was busy greeting him.

"Where's your manager?"

The concierge bowed repeatedly and replied.

"The manager is in the workshop..."

"No, I'll go there by myself!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhidong led the two into the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, but Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping had doubts in their eyes, thinking that if Xiang Shuai needed a decent Hanshang, he could go to the Hantang Square to buy it, where there were also Yunjin Hanshangs from Jiangning Weaving Bureau.

After Zhang Zhidong entered the workshop, he saw a thin man lying on the desk and painting something. He coughed. The thin old man turned his head and hurriedly set up and bowed to Zhang Zhidong and his party.

"I don't know that the government has arrived, and I'm far away from you!"

Even until now, it is difficult for Zhang Zhidong to adapt to the bow after the kneeling ceremony was invalidated, just nodding his head.

"The design of the robe is finished!"

"The return to the government has not been completed!"

This answer made Zhang Zhidong frown. This robe was a congratulatory gift he prepared. Since he came to Nanjing, he thought about how to show his loyalty. Although the rule was not clear, Zhang Zhidong already knew the answer, so he took out 100,000 yuan and asked the Jiangning Weaving Bureau of Hantangfang to design this Chinese-style dragon. Robe.

"This is the pattern of the robe."

When talking, Yu Zhujiu raised his eyelids and looked at the government in front of him. Almost when he received the list, he wanted to report to the police station. Since he was a child in the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, he naturally knew that the dragon robe was a big rebellion, but the company not only accepted the list, but also kept it secret from him.

Stop in front of the case and take a closer look. A piece of red dress has been drawn on the large piece of paper. The dragon robe is embroidered with red and sea waves. In the middle, a golden flying dragon is raised its head and tail, with its five claws open, his eyes are bright, and the scales are brilliant.

The costume on the painting only made Chen Yan shout.

"Ah, isn't this a dragon robe?"

But Zhang Zhidong didn't say anything, but there was a smile under his beard. Sang Zhiping also stared at it all the time and didn't say anything. He thought to himself: The dragon robes were secretly doing it. It seemed that the ruling emperor must have done it. Thinking that Sang Zhiping finally understood why after arriving in Nanjing, Xiang Shuai seemed to be busy with something. That's what he was so busy with!

"Whether it is fabric lining or all kinds of silk threads, they are the best materials in the country. The bureau has invited the best embroidery girls from Suzhou. After it is finished, it can be embroidered.

With that, he deliberately pointed to the two black eyes of the golden dragon on the paper and said.

"This dragon is black, and the black pearls used are imported from Tahiti in the Pacific Polynesian Islands."

The three people followed Yu Zhujiu's fingers to look at the dragon's eyes. They were black dragons, which was different from the white precious balls used by the dragons in the past. Everyone knows that the rule is like the Han style, the red and black color of iron and blood, and the dragon robe is naturally the finishing touch with black pearls.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Zhidong asked Sang Zhiping beside him.

"How about the dragon robe?"

Sang Zhiping nodded and said.

Chen Yan stared at the dragon's eyes, thinking about the appearance of the ruler after wearing the dragon robe, he couldn't help but feel weak and sweating on his back. This ruler is different from others. This person seems to be humble and kind, but in fact?

He is one of the first Xiangshuai staff to leave Wuchang to join the ruling axe. Although he served in the Ministry of Education, he knows that the Ministry of Education is now discussing the "China Education Order". In addition to the eight-year compulsory education mentioned by the rule, another point is that school-age children are forced to go to school with surnames, and they can learn cards to show that The difference is that the police urge the children with license plates to go to school. Penalty rules have also been formulated to punish parents who do not send school-age children to school. They can be fined up to ten sentences and serve in public service for half a year.

He was still so cruel about this, not to mention... Thinking about it, Xiang Shuai's words came to his ears.

"...Recently, those people have been talking about the republic. I don't know that everyone can be the president. If the republic is carried out, wouldn't it be a rebellion? Moreover, the Chinese still can't live without the emperor!"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhidong brushed his beard, and his face seemed to be a little proud. Others may see that Marshal Chen was not in the republic, but a few people thought of doing it decisively.

"We should not only share your worries, but also think about what you think! This is the duty of a minister!"

Xiang Shuai's words made Chen Yan and Sang Zhiping silent. They vaguely guessed that maybe this dragon robe was used by Xiang Shuai to show loyalty to the government, thinking that the two couldn't help calling Xiang Shuai confused. Such a big thing... Xiang Shuai was really given by the prime minister of the new dynasty... They sighed that they no longer said anything, only It was looking thoughtfully at the dragon robe on the paper.

An official in a suit went straight to Zhang Zhidong and bent down to Zhang Zhidong, who was reading the newspaper.

"Xiang Shuai, do you still recognize the subordinate?"

Zhang Zhidong took off his presbyopia glasses, and people looked at them carefully in the future.

"Aren't you Xu Buwu? Why are you here?"

As if he remembered something, Zhang Zhidong smiled.

"I forgot that you have been in power for a long time!"

"Xiang Shuai is easy to remember the surname, and the subordinate is Xu Shichang."

Xu Shichang said with a humble smile.

"Since I saw Xiangshuai at the Xiaguan Pier, I have been thinking about visiting Xiangshuai. This is not a fake, so I came to visit. Please don't be surprised."

"Sit down, sit down!" Zhang Zhidong stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa opposite.

"You have too much courtesy. Now you have recovered. You and I are all servants of citizens. There is no need to be an official."

Although he said so, Zhang Zhidong was quite useful in his heart. The lower officials always made him find some of the feeling of the past.

"Xiang Shuai, you must pay attention to it in the future!"

Sitting down on the sofa, Xu Shichang said happily.

"Xiang Shuai, when I came to Nanjing from Hebei, I bought some keel. It was just shipped here a few days ago. Gong Yu should think about it carefully and maybe he can recognize dozens of ancient characters."

He said happily, but he felt funny in his heart. Nanjing City has never been familiar with the research and new learning, familiar with the new learning and the study of Yangming learning, but the consultant likes the keel learning engraved with the words of the Yin and Shang period.

"Great, great." Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "You can show it to me first. Don't be in a hurry to announce it to the world to avoid being ridiculed by the Fang family."

"Xiang Shuai is willing to review it for me, which is really a great thing. I took a few turtle shell plates with me, a few words, and I guessed seven or eight points. Xiang Shuai, please have a look and dial the subordinate.

"Where is it? Show it to me!"

Zhang Zhidong looked urgent, like a playful child, anxiously asking adults for a novel toy.

Xu Shichang took out a piece of cloth bag from his briefcase. Open the cloth bag and reveal more than a dozen black-brown tortoise plates stained with mud. Zhang Zhidong hurriedly put on his presbyopia glasses again and took a piece of them carefully.

Gu Hongming, Chen Yan and others also picked up a piece and watched it curiously. This study suddenly became an archaeological institute.

Looking at Zhang Zhidong's focused look, Xu Shichang was grateful for the trick he had carefully prepared.

After receiving the telegram from Baoding, Xu Shichang began to think about how to win the favor of the old man. After thinking about it, he thought of the keel unearthed in the Yin Ruins. Originally, this was Yuan Shikai was going to dedicate to the government. The ruling government is preparing a museum. From the perspective of the keel, won't it trigger this elegant antique? Are the old celebrities very interested?

This move is really good. Zhang Zhidong, Gu Hongming, Chen Yan and Xu Shichang, facing more than a dozen turtle boards, have endless topics around the emerging discipline of Oracle. Unconsciously, it was getting dark, and Zhang Zhidong naturally left Xu Shichang at home for dinner.

Due to the banquet, Zhang Zhidong just picked up a light taste. He first talked about the oracle bone and Yuan Shikai in the north.

"Bu Wu! Yuan Weiting, when will you enter Beijing?

Zhang Zhidong, who put down his chopsticks, asked unintentionally. Although he liked Oracle, he also knew that Xu Shichang's visit must be Yuan Shikai's business.

"To tell you the truth, Shichang has come very little with Vice Chairman Yuan since he took up his new position!"

Xu Shichang replied respectfully.

"However, Shichang heard that the deputy committee had taken a telegram to the government, requesting to stay in Hebei for the time being."

The previous sentence is official words, but the latter sentence is Xu Shichang's intention.

"The comfort court is unwilling to enter Beijing?"

"It's not that I don't want to. Maybe it's because the vice chairman is not from two lists, and he has nothing in his belly, so he can be limited.

At this time, when Xu Shichang talked about his past, he was not polite, and even sarcastic.

"Bu Wu! You have to comfort the court!"

Zhang Zhidong subconsciously picked up his beard and put on the usual airs.

"He is less than 50 years old and has a long way to go. You have been a foreign official for more than 20 years, and you have enough experience. You should also go to Beijing to be a court official. Besides, the government is quite dependent on him. The position of vice chairman of the military committee is very important for foreign affairs and military aircraft. The center orders the world and does a good job. The contribution to the country should be far better than that of a provincial governor. What's more, the new policy is initially decided. He needs such a talent around the government.

Although he put on airs, he also knows that Xu Shichang's words are just to listen, but Zhang Zhidong knows that for the rule, Yuan Shikai, who holds the soldiers of the three towns, is a danger of chaos in the world in the future. Not only him, but also Li Jingxi of Yungui, Shengyun of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Xiliang of Sichuan, all of which are the troubles of the ruling mind. .

Compared with those three people, the capital division is defeated by Yuan Shikai, and the name of the tar must be a big problem. If the four people can't be pacified, maybe as long as the government ascends the throne in the southeast, someone will immediately claim the throne in the northwest, the emperor in Hebei, and the southwest. From then on, the whole land of China will not have a piece of peace of land, hundreds of millions. The people have no respite. What comes one after another must be a more cruel bloody struggle, and a more long-lasting battle. If the four people fake the situation of foreigners, they will only be afraid... Therefore, for the ruling, these four people can't help but be eliminated.

"The central command of the world"

With a sneer in his heart, Xu Shichang knew that as soon as the vice chairman entered Beijing and the Beiyang Army was reorganized, at that time, the vice chairman could really only be a foot grain man! That's still the best result. Did the old man in front of him make his false name dizzy?

Thinking of this, Xu Shichang decided to test it.

"Xiang Shuai, you are highly virtuous. You are righteous from Wuchang and consulted in the ruling axe. You are the hope of the people and return of the government and the opposition. Of course, it is the center to command the world, and the contribution to the country is far beyond the two provinces of Huguang. Naturally, the vice chairman can't be compared with you, and he doesn't care as much as you do, so it's inevitable to be ridiculed. I'm afraid that the vice-member thinks that he is going to Beijing. It's better to do something for the country than in Hebei.

He shook his head with his eyes half closed and brushed his beard.

"Yuan Weiting has always dared to be responsible and quite confident in doing things. Why does he cringe once he is asked to enter the center of the tree? Now that the country is restored, the government intends to reorganize the old mountains and rivers. It is the time for us to share our worries and work for the country. Bu Wu! The comfort court is your old man. You should repay it with your heart, but I need to remind you!"

Xu Shichang, who had some pity for Zhang Zhidong because of these words, was stared at by Zhang Zhidong's eyes, and sweat suddenly came out of his back.

"You need to know that the government has been in control of half of the country, holding 500,000 strong troops, Yungui's Li Jingxi's memory swaying, Shaanxi-Gansu's Shengyun, and Sichuan's Xiliang, can still last a few days. Shaanxi is said that the righteous people are everywhere, and in a few months, Yungui, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan will all be restored. At that time Who is the king in this world?

Zhang Zhidong touched the long white and sparse beard, and his voice became more and more cold.

"Bu Wu! You are a smart person, and you know what to do!"

After hearing this, Xu Shichang was so scared that there was a cold sweat on his back. He couldn't help looking at Zhang Zhidong, who looked older than a few years ago, and saw that the two concave eyes were staring at him, as if he had already seen what he had done in Nanjing. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly knelt down.

"Xiang Shuai, you...you know that Shichang and Yuan Shikai have..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhidong sighed and stared at Xu Shichang.

"Bu Wu! You are a smart man! All right, it's getting late. Come back! There is still government affairs!"

"Lao Xiangshuai is bothering!"

Chen Moran rubbed his temples gently with his fingers. Since he became the ruler, he didn't take it easy. This time, he really wanted to thank Zhang Zhidong for beating Xu Shichang. Xu Shichang took Yuan Shikai's silver and made a lot of money in Nanjing. Although some of them were in the national treasury, the seamless eggs were also nailed on the day, not to mention that they were originally a slit egg.

"It is the duty of a minister to share your worries!"

At this time, Zhang Zhidong was quite obedient to be a minister, and Chen Moran nodded his head and looked at Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Jing had already reported on his dragon robe. He was the king and the virtuous. Thinking about what he had said to him, Chen Moran smiled in his heart.

"Xiang Shuai, when do you think Li Jingxi from Yunnan will lose sincerity! Recently, the French consul in Kunming has been active!"

"In power, what I'm worried about is not Li Jingxi, and Yuan Shikai!"

"Oh? Please tell me in detail.

Listening to Zhang Zhidong's words, Chen Moran stood up and looked at him.

"Li Jingxi is a courageless person. Even if he has the support of the French, he does not dare or want to be a legal person puppet. He still has this backbone! Not to mention that the two places in Yunnan and Guizhou are barren. Li Jingxi has no soldiers and no financial resources to continue. He said that he might as well reward him with the title in power. I think Li Jingxi will definitely be as good as the flow!"

Zhang Zhidong seemed to forget that Chen Moran was in power now. Even if he wanted to be the emperor, he had to wait for "billion of people to decide the state".

"What's more, it's Shengyun of Shaanxi-Gansu and Xiliang of Sichuan. As the flag man, he will fight against it to the death. Shaanxi-Gansu rebels are everywhere. Sichuan is located in the hinterland. The Guangfu army is waiting to enter Sichuan, and they are not afraid of both!"

Chen Moran listened attentively and didn't say anything.

"The only fear is Yuan Shikai from Hebei!"

Zhang Zhidong's expression became grim.

"Yuan Shikai, as a minister of Beiyang, has made contact with the envoys of all countries in the capital. All countries are even more ambitious in China. He wants to take China as fat meat. Yuan Shikai's Baoding garrison is not forward, but he negotiates with other countries. I hope that it is only one of them. Seeking the support of all countries is the second. If he seizes the capital, he will win all countries. The minister's support can be full of power from the inside, and the support of all countries outside. I'm afraid that when the time comes..."

"He can't take the capital! Xiang Shuai, your opinion is in line with me. The reason why I didn't force Yuan Shikai too much is not that I was worried about his Beiyang army, and even Cixi contacted Yuan Shikai with a secret envoy and promised to become king. I know all this, but I still let him. I'm afraid that he announced Hebei's reading power. At that time, the powers will intervene again, and the problem will be repeated. It's miscellaneous, but even so, Yuan Shikai wants to seize the capital, but it's a dream!"

Chen Moran smiled proudly and looked at Zhang Zhidong, who was a little surprised.

"Now the Qing army and the Beijing flag standing army are all gathered in the Jinjing area, intending to block Yuan Shikai. The defense of the capital is naturally empty. If it is a strange soldier, it will be handsome! Can the capital still be defended?"
