Chapter 401: Ruthless and Vicious Enough
"Head, aren't you happy?" Seeing that Liu Jun did not show a trace of joy at all after reading the telegram, Zhong Lin blinked suspiciously. He stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
Fake, Liu Jun concluded that this telegram must be fake, in Liu Jun's view, what kind of person is Guangxu, that is a man who has been threatened by his aunt Cixi since he became an emperor, over the years, he has long tortured a man with the courage and courage that he should have, he dares to make Cixi's rebellion, and it is to force the palace, unless he takes aphrodisiac, otherwise he does not have such courage.
Zhong Lin was very bored, this No. 2 telegram obviously said that there was a possibility of a coup d'état in the imperial court now, so once a coup broke out, no matter who Guangxu won or Cixi won, the biggest gainer was Liaodong and himself, but now looking at Liu Jun's expression, it was obvious that he didn't want to see this scene.
"What am I happy about if this information is inaccurate?" Liu Jun pointed to the telegram on the table. Said helplessly.
Not ready? Where is it inaccurate? Zhong Lin walked over, picked up the telegram and looked at it, it was not wrong, what it said was that Guangxu would launch a coup d'état against Cixi.
"Head, what's wrong?" Zhong Lin couldn't figure it out.
"Idiot, what kind of person is Cixi, the strong woman who plays with the court, what kind of person is Guangxu, that is a person who has no courage and courage, this Guangxu dares to force the palace, unless the sun comes out of the west."
It turned out that this was the case, Zhong Lin suddenly understood: "Head, if Guangxu didn't dare, but now Cixi is too sick to walk, and it's impossible to say." ”
Cixi is sick? Liu Jun frowned: "What's the situation, can you explain it clearly." ”
Zhong Lin glanced at Liu Jun and sat down: "Head, there is a call from the Guangyuan branch station in Sichuan, Cixi suddenly fell ill when she was bumpy all the way in Hanzhong. ”
If you are sick, then you have to be another matter, smiling slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin beside him, picked up the telegram again and read it a few times: "Go, send a telegram to Kou Liancai, and ask him to find a way to inform Cixi of this news." ”
"Head, I'll do it right away." Zhong Lin probably saw Liu Jun's thoughts, smiled, turned around and ran out.
Zhong Lin understood, it can't be said that Zheng Yiqian understood, and after making tea for Liu Jun, Zheng Yiqian walked over: "How could you let Kou Liancai inform Cixi, do this, isn't it that Guangxu notified Cixi of the matter of forcing the palace and made her ready." ”
"What, you don't understand?" Liu Jun took a sip of tea, and when he saw Zheng Yiqian, he shook his head, and he stood up this time.
This coup d'état, whether Guangxu wins or Cixi wins, the ultimate beneficiary is himself, since Cixi doesn't know about this, then Guangxu will be able to succeed very smoothly, but let Cixi know, then this is something to see, and the court will be even more chaotic. Then it is impossible for them to recover, let alone recuperate.
"You, why are you thinking about people getting more and more chaotic all day?" Zheng Yiqian, who understood everything, smiled slightly and knocked Liu Jun beside her.
Guangyuan, the thick fog has slowly disappeared under the sunlight, Guangyuan prefect's yamen, Cixi, who has been in Guangyuan for two days, walked out of the room for the first time and came to the compound. Accompanied by Li Lianying, she sat on a chair and basked in the warm sun.
"Xiao Lizi, what's going on in Xi'an?" Cixi, who has improved her health slightly, has never been able to let go of Xi'an, after all, Xi'an is the place where Shaanxi currently has the most troops, once Xi'an is lost, then from Xianyang, Baoji and other cities, it is impossible to block Liu Jun's attack, although in Hanzhong, where he ordered the fourth town to be stationed, but now there are only more than 10,000 people in the fourth town, and if you want to block the attack of tens of thousands of people in the Liaodong Army, Cixi knows in her heart that this is simply impossible.
Therefore, she must know Xi'an, once Xi'an is lost, she will immediately give an order to withdraw to Chengdu, and only when she arrives in Chengdu can she let go of everything.
This one? Li Lianying began to roll his eyes slightly, he already knew from Zhang Zhidong that Xi'an had already fallen four days ago, and the current Liaodong Army had already taken Xianyang and was advancing to Baoji, but in order to let Cixi recuperate with peace of mind, he concealed the situation this time.
"Lafayette, don't worry, now the Liaodong Army is blocked under the city of Xi'an and can't take a step forward." For the sake of Cixi's body, Li Lianying had to lie again.
Hehehe, good Cixi said a few good words in a row, and for many days, she finally heard the best news.
"Chief, Kou Lian just asked to see you." A little eunuch ran over and muttered to Li Lianying's mouth in a low voice.
Kou Liancai, Li Lianying frowned, Kou Liancai's identity seems to be Guangxu's follower, but in fact, this is all Cixi who went to spy on Guangxu. Kou Liancai's identity, except for Cixi, is only known to Li Lianying.
Kou Lian hadn't reported the situation for a while, and now that he came at this time, there must be something, thinking of this, Li Lianying said hello to Cixi, and under the leadership of the little eunuch, he walked out.
Walking through the corridor, Li Lianying saw Kou Liancai wearing a soldier's clothes standing there walking back and forth.
"Grandpa Kou." Li Lianying smiled, walked over and began to say hello.
Xukou Liancai signaled Li Lianying to shut up, and then quickly took out a letter, and immediately handed it to Li Lianying: "Quickly hand it over to Lafayette." Something changed tonight. After saying that, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran out in a panic.
There is a change tonight, what do you mean, seeing that Kou Liancai ran out in a panic, Li Lianying looked through the letter in her hand.
Curious, he saw that there was no one left or right, and secretly opened the envelope.
"Oh my god." With an exclamation, Li Lianying ran over to the place where Cixi was staying.
"Galeries Lafayette, it's not good, Lafayette, it's not good, something big is wrong." Li Lianying, who was rolling and crawling, ran to Cixi's side in a cold sweat and knelt down with a thud.
Cixi, who finally fell asleep, was awakened by Li Lianying's anxious voice, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Li Lianying, who was now kneeling on the ground and trembling, Cixi frowned.
"Little Lizi, what's wrong?"
Big event, the troops will mutiny. Li Lianying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he just opened the letter and saw a few words written on it, which said that there was a minister instigating the troops to mutiny tonight.
As for who the minister was talking about, he didn't mention it at all, it was the unit that was going to mutiny, and he didn't say it, it was simply true.
"Lafayette, someone is going to make trouble." After Li Lianying finished speaking, she trembled and handed over the letter in her hand.
With a snap, the fruit placed in front of Cixi was suddenly overturned to the ground by Cixi, Li Lianying trembled one by one, peeked at Cixi standing there, and found that Cixi was trembling all over now.
"Immediately send Zhang Zhidong, Dong Fuxiang, and Song Pan to see the mourning family." With an angry shout, Li Lianying was so frightened that she wiped the sweat on her face with her hands, nodded again and again, turned around and ran out.
Seeing Li Lianying running out in a panic, Cixi anxiously walked back and forth a few times, and looked up at the sky again, which was only two or three hours before it was dark, and Kou Liancai's letter said that a minister had asked the army to mutiny. And the time is tonight, which is only more than three hours before dark, and if it can't be found out in three hours, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In an inn in Guangyuan, several people in civilian clothes were sitting around the table whispering.
"Heir, now that the right battalion, the front battalion and the seventh town of the Praetorian Guard have all supported the emperor, I think tonight's move is bound to be successful.
A man in a black silk robe looked at the tall and thin man in the long gray robe next to him and asked.
This person in a black silk robe is Kang Youwei, and the person in this gray robe is Tan Sitong, after getting an accurate answer from Guangxu, he returned to the house to discuss, and after a few days of running, he not only persuaded the right battalion and the front battalion of the Praetorian Guard, but also persuaded the two standards of the New Army, that is, two regiments, nearly 5,000 people to carry out the coup.
After deliberation, the two decided to do it tonight.
"Yes, we will definitely succeed," Tan Sitong clenched his fists and nodded seriously.
