Chapter 106 Preemptive
However, Cixi passed the foreign ministers who had dated with Zhenfei and Guangxu one by one.
Coincidentally, Zhang Zhidong just sent Sheng Xuanhuai to Beijing for business. As a result, Sheng Xuanhuai hit the muzzle of the gun.
According to the unwritten rules of the Qing Dynasty, foreign ministers went to Beijing and met the emperor, and they also went to the Summer Palace to pay their peace to the Empress Dowager Buddha. Although Zhang Zhidong helped Zhou Charter, this old slippery man was very shrewd. At the critical moment, he changed his mind and stood in the camp of Empress Dowager Cixi to help Ye Zhichao solve the North Korean Zhang army. However, Cixi still dare not take Zhang Zhidong lightly, and Sheng Xuanhuai is Zhang Zhidong's confidant. Therefore, when she met Sheng Xuanhuai, Cixi was shocked by her appearance and shocked Sheng Xuanhuai.
Soon, Sheng Xuanhuai confessed and handed it over. The pocket watch was entrusted to Zhou Charter before the Battle of Lushun.
Sheng Xuanhuai's claration made the Empress Dowager Cixi thunderous!
She immediately realized that the appearance of this pocket watch meant that Zhou Charter was not dead!
Moreover, it is very likely that Zhou Charter has contacted the emperor and Zhenfei again and is hiding in a corner to accumulate strength and refresh himself!
Now, there is a large group of people around the emperor, and these people have gradually become a force that cannot be underestimated. This force is encouraging the emperor to be arbitrary!
The Empress Dowager Cixi did not oppose the change of law, but what she was afraid of was that the emperor established her prestige by changing the law, thus depriving her of supreme power! Just like at the beginning, Cixi did not oppose the war against Japan. What she objected to was that the emperor obtained arbitrary capital through the war against Japan!
If there is Zhou Charter leading the army outside and Kang Youwei Liang Qi's advice inside, the emperor's wings are getting fuller and fuller, and he is bound to have a showdown with the Empress Dowager Cixi!
The Empress Dowager Cixi made a prompt decision and immediately ordered Cui Yugui to go to the New People's Mansion and take Zhou Charter's family to the Summer Palace.
Preemption! Empress Dowager Cixi has been in power for decades, which is her magic weapon!
As long as he holds Zhao Qiaoer in his hand, even if Zhou Charter wants to rebel, he will have to weigh it!
The Empress Dowager Cixi has long known that Zhou Charter is a moral advantage, but in the political struggle, this is a person's weakness!
At the same time, Empress Dowager Cixi attacked the Zhangjun brothers scattered everywhere!
In Liaoxi, Zhang Zuolin, who was ordered to suppress bandits, was suddenly surrounded by Ike Tang's army. Ike Tang'a ordered Zhang Zuolin to immediately hand over his troops and report to the Beijing Military Department. The court appointed Zhang Zuolin as the minister of the Ministry of War. The servant of the Ministry of War is a third-grade member. On the surface, Zhang Zuolin has been promoted, but Zhang Zuolin has no troops in his hands. Only then did Zhang Zuolin know that Zhao Qiaoer had been brought into Beijing by Cui Yugui.
Zhang Zuolin regretted knowing that he had been fooled by Ike Tang'a. Seeing that Zhao Qiaoer entered the Summer Palace, good or bad luck was unpredictable. Anyway, he stayed in the new people's mansion and was sorry for his eldest brother. He simply pushed the boat along the water and promised Ike Tang to hand over the troops and go to Beijing. In Beijing, in case of an accident, Zhao Qiaoer can always be taken care of.
In Beijing, Zhang Zuolin met Zhang Xun, who was called to Beijing at the same time. Zhang Xun was also relieved of his military power and went to Beijing to take an idle position. The two foresaw that the situation was not good, but they couldn't figure out what the court was going to do.
Wu Peifu, who was far away in Changsha, was also detained by Chen Baozhen, the governor of Hunan Province, on the grounds that he was stale and plotted to rebel! Wu Peifu was retained by Chen Baozhen, but this time, it became his arrest!
For Tianjin's Hawu, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not dare to act rashly. Nahawu, the leader of the cavalry battalion, was personally appointed by the emperor, just like the emperor's guard. Moreover, the reformists also have dealings with Naha five, and he is regarded by the reformists as the backing of the reform of the reform. If Naha is publicly attacked, it is equivalent to a public showdown with the emperor, which will be regarded by the world as a signal for the Empress Dowager Cixi to obstruct the change.
However, the Empress Dowager Cixi hated Nahawu to the bone. This man became the emperor's uncle and was obviously the emperor's hardcore. Others could give him an idle job. Only Nahawu must be eliminated and leave no future trouble. Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Lai Chuanwu to assassinate Nahawu, announced that Nahawu was seriously ill and died, and Lai Chuanwu took over the Xiaoqi camp.
The move of the Empress Dowager Cixi can be said to be seamless. Ha Wu died of illness. Even if outsiders have doubts, they can't find a handle.
However, what she didn't expect was that Lai Chuanwu would secretly let go of Ha Wu!
Only Park Yong-yeol of North Korea and Empress Dowager Cixi's whip are beyond reach. However, Empress Dowager Cixi is not very worried. After all, North Korea is a foreign country. No matter how fierce Park Yonglie is in North Korea, he is just scratching the Qing Dynasty.
At this point, all the Zhang Jun brothers scattered everywhere were held in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Zhou Charter should remember things. Without an army in his hand, it is difficult to make a climate.
Now, Empress Dowager Cixi can calm down and deal with the Zhou Charter hidden in the dark!
