Chapter 194 Re mention of old things
Cherry bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, that matter was suppressed by the Empress Dowager. There were not many people who knew about it at the beginning, and they were all registered. The father and son of the Ye family are the originators. Ye Tuo learned from Cui Exposure. Now, Ye Tuo and Cui Exposure are dead. Ye Zhichao is timid and afraid of things. How dares he repeat the past? Isn't that against the Empress Dowager Buddha? Moreover, Gege's marriage was decided by the Empress Dowager Buddha. Isn't it clear that he can't get along with the Empress Dowager Buddha?
Guangxu came to the spirit: "It makes sense, go on."
"The maidservant thought that there was only one person who had the courage to say that."
"Who?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not say anything more." Cherry bowed her head and said.
sixty-nine,
Guangxu patted his thigh: "Okay! Needless to say, I know who he is!" Emperor Guangxu gritted his teeth and said, "This old man is still thinking about that! I know it in my heart!"
Concubine Zhen and Minxiu also understood.
That "old man" is not someone else, or Duanjun Wang Zaiyi.
Duan Jun Wang Zaiyi lost his Beiyang sailor and was so scared that he ran back to "a serious illness". He dared not go out for several days for fear that the Empress Dowager Cixi would cure him.
After the First Sino-Japanese War, the political pattern of the Qing Dynasty changed dramatically. Prince Gong Yixin, Li Hongzhang and Weng Tongyu, who had been in the court, left the political center and Zaiyi, Gangyi, Ronglu and others went to the court.
The power struggle unfolded in these Qing Dynasty relatives and nobles.
The resoluteness is relatively low-key and seems to be a little detached in the struggle, while the fight between Zaiyi and Ronglu is very gunpowder. Zaiyi has Ye Zhichao's Dingwu army, while Ronglu relies on Yuan Shikai's small station new army.
In the unprecedented struggle, Ronglu, with the help of Yuan Shikai's small new army, squeezed the military expenditure of the given military army. The fixed military army became a soy sauce, and Ronglu took the lead. However, Zaiyi did not gain anything. The Empress Dowager Buddha gave him the Beiyang Marine. The two sides drew.
However, he never expected that Ding Ruchang ran away and took away the whole Beiyang sailor.
Zaiyi not only lost the most powerful army of the Qing Dynasty, but also lost the Beiyang Marine Division, his power was almost negligible compared with Ronglu.
The new army of Xiaozhan has been expanded to 50,000 people in ten towns, and there are 3,000 people left in the military army, and there is no military paid.
In this way, Zai Yi will either be punished by the Empress Dowager Cixi, or he can only take the initiative to announce his retirement and withdraw from the court forever.
How can Zaiyi be willing?
So, after hiding at home and thinking about the pain, he came up with a "wonderful plan".
He knew that Yuan Shikai became bigger and was stationed in Tianjin with the elite troops of ten towns in his hand. The Empress Dowager Cixi was not worried about Yuan Shikai. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi attached equal importance to the Yuan family's kindness and prestige. First, she restricted Ronglu through Zaiyi, and second, she used this political marriage to win over Yuan Shikai with Minxiu.
If Zaiyi falls and Ronglu and Yuan Shikai are dominant, this is not what the Empress Dowager Cixi wants to see.
If the political marriage between Yuan Keding and Minxiu is yellow, it is impossible for Cixi to let go of Yuan Shikai. She must find another way to restrain Yuan Shikai.
The most direct way to restrict Yuan Shikai is to expand the military army. Because only the Dingwu Army is a new army.
If you want to rely on the military army, Empress Dowager Cixi can't help but reuse the Yi. Only Zai Yi can mobilize Ye Zhichao.
This time, Zaiyi planned to break the boat and made up his mind to stir up the political marriage between Huang Minxiu and Yuan Keding.
Because, deep in his heart, there is a more far-reaching goal - to push his son Pu Yan to the throne of the emperor.
During the Jiawu period, the Empress Dowager Cixi moved to change the emperor and appointed Pu Jun as the eldest brother to prepare for the throne of God. Once upon a time, Emperor Guangxu almost "dead". Because Zhou Charter won the Lushun War and led the Zhang army to look at the court, Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to announce the recovery of the emperor's dragon body.
This matter would have been over. However, Zaiyi never forgets this matter.
He knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi was becoming more and more dissatisfied with Emperor Guangxu. One day, she would bring up this matter again, but the next eldest brother may not be Pu Jun.
To push Pu Jun to the throne of God, Zai Yi must master the strength! In the court, he wants to overshadow Ronglu, and in the place, he wants to hold heavy soldiers!
Done the marriage between Minxiu and Yuan Keding, which has only good and no harm to Zaiyi. Yuan Shikai is likely to lose favor because of this matter, so he has only two options, either to return to the field or to the new master - this new master should only be Zaiyi.
Therefore, Zaiyi poked out Minxiu's bathing in Tianjin Wubei School and spread it all over the world. For a while, Minxiu became a joke, and Yuan Keding was also nicknamed the successor of Zhou Charter.
What a shrewd person Yuan Shikai is, and he can see the strangeness at a glance. The reason is very simple. This absurd thing is circulating everywhere, and the beneficiary can only be Duan Junwang Zaiyi.
Yuan Shikai looked down on Zaiyi. He understood that Zaiyi was just a doll in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi. When it comes to political strategy, Ronglu is a hundred times stronger than Zaiyi. How could Yuan Shikai put his life on Zaiyi, a straw bag?
What's more, the marriage between Yuan Keding and Minxiu was decided by the Empress Dowager. Yuan Shikai was bold and dared not challenge the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Therefore, Yuan Shikai pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a deaf ear to rumors all over the street. He is determined to make this marriage firm.
A person's face is nothing compared to rights and status.
Unexpectedly, his eldest son Yuan Keding was a calm guy. The people in Beijing took Yuan Keding as a joke. The eldest son couldn't stand it and complained all day long.
The Yuan family has a mansion in Beijing. Yuan Shikai trained soldiers at a small station and spent most of his time in Tianjin. In order to train his eldest son, Yuan Shikai also asked Yuan Keding to serve the army. Yuan Keding followed Yuan Shikai, but he was also honest and did not dare to attack rashly. A few days ago, Yuan Shikai asked Yuan Keding to return to the capital and give a gift to Ronglu. Yuan Keding returned to the capital and was dragged out for a drink by several friends. After three rounds of drinking, he didn't know who didn't keep the door. He spilled his mouth and picked up Minxiu. This time, Yuan Keding was pissed off.
Without Yuan Shikai's pressure, Yuan Keding's son's temper came up. As soon as his brain was hot, he dropped a cup in the restaurant and shouted that he would not be the successor to Zhou Charter's son of the bitch! His friends are also sons and grandchildren. They don't know politics, and they are cheering one after another. Yuan Keding also took advantage of alcoholism and ran to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and strongly demanded to cancel the marriage!
