Chapter 1035 Countdown to Abdication
The effect is better, Zheng Yiqian, who heard this, looked at Liu Jun in front of him with a puzzled expression, he didn't understand, Ding Zhenfeng is a dignified civil official, in her eyes, civil officials have always liked to beat around the corner, but Liu Jun treats Ding Zhenfeng as if this is not the case.
"It's very simple, Ding Zhenfeng, I once learned from the old man, is a peculiar, he does things and behaves the most, he likes to be direct, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush."
It turned out that this was the case, Zheng Yiqian, who heard Liu Jun's explanation, thought about it for a while, and then did not dwell on this topic, but asked how to deal with the palace items after the abdication of the imperial court.
Before the imperial court left Beijing, it had transferred a large number of rare treasures to Chengdu, and after the imperial court abdicated, it was inevitable that these cultural relics would be sold in the future when the funds ran out. These are all treasures, and selling one of them is a huge loss.
Liu Jun has already explained this problem to Wu Tingfang and Li Jingfang, and asked them to discuss with the imperial court, the Chengdu Imperial Palace can be used by the imperial court, but the treasures inside are not allowed to be sold, and once they are found out, they will be immediately returned to the Chengdu Imperial Palace.
He believed that Cixi would never allow the people below to do this.
Chengdu, the bell outside the Qinzheng Hall rang again, today is a big court meeting, the bell struck a total of thirty-six times.
After the bell rang, the small noon gate opened, and groups of officials began to enter the main hall under the leadership of the first-class and second-class officials of the imperial court.
Today is August 13th, and it is also the last day of Cixi and Emperor Xuantong, and early tomorrow morning, Cixi will issue an edict of abdication in the name of the emperor. That is to say, today is the last day of the existence of the Great Qing Kingdom, and tomorrow morning, it will be the last edict of the Great Qing Kingdom.
The hall was full of desolation, looking at the ministers below who were like frosted eggplants, Cixi who was sitting on it felt uncomfortable for a while. She didn't expect that the Great Qing Kingdom would be thrown away in her own hands.
Today's court meeting is just a day or not. Now the Liaodong Army has taken over the southwest, and at present, the word is left in Guiyang, Kunming and the vicinity of Chengdu has not been taken over. But these, there are still three days at most, and they will be taken over, and last night, Ding Zhenfeng called, Feng Guozhang's department of the Liaodong Army has taken over Qujing, and Duan Qirui's department has also taken over Tongren, Kaili and other places.
And the fifth town in the shrimp area has also arrived at the predetermined location, ready to wait for reception.
All rights have been transferred to Liaodong, and now, the place that he can control is less than 30 kilometers in Chengdu.
The hall was silent, no one spoke, for a while, in the court below, the sound of crying began to appear, this sound was like a curse, less than three minutes, the court was still crying on the ground, and finally it developed to crying, these people are some old and young, they are reluctant to the Qing Dynasty.
Pretend, Zaifeng, who was standing on the side, saw many people crying like their dead parents, and immediately showed contempt, if these people could have contributed more to the court earlier, or even if they didn't want to be corrupt and cater to the court, the Qing Kingdom would not have come to this point, it's ridiculous that these people don't know how to check until now, and they still have the face to cry here, which makes them feel shameless.
Hey, hearing the crying below, Cixi suddenly felt sad, and the tears fell to the ground all of a sudden, and she couldn't stand it. Sometimes, she really doesn't know whether the reason for this is whether she doesn't work hard enough, or because the ministers of the court don't work hard enough.
"Lafayette, look?" Li Lianying, who was standing in front of Cixi, cried when she saw the people below, and he was worried that Cixi would be affected.
Cixi understood what Li Lianying meant, and after nodding slightly, Cixi stretched out her hand, and Li Lianying quickly helped Cixi up, and then left the court meeting and returned to the Yang'en Palace.
Baoji. In Liu Jun's headquarters, for the first time, in Liu Jun's office, there were two former rivals, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong.
These two people, since they were in the imperial court, have been tearing down each other and fighting for so many years, but now, the two of them have actually released their previous suspicions and want to go to Chengdu together to govern the southwest. Liu Jun really didn't expect such a match.
Looking at the two old men sitting in front of him, who were once above 10,000 people under one person, Liu Jun smiled, opened his drawer and took out a letter and handed it to Li Hongzhang.
Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong looked at each other, and they didn't understand what Liu Jun gave him, and he didn't know what was written in it.
Seeing the two old men looking at him with puzzled expressions, Liu Jun smiled and said, "This letter was written by me to Cixi. After you arrive in Chengdu, go and visit her, after all, they used to be people who worked under her, and they should also move around. ”
This one? The two glanced at each other, neither of them expected that Liu Jun would give such an order to himself, and the first thing he did when he went to Chengdu was not to carry out work, but to visit Cixi.
"You can't do this for no purpose, do you?" Li Hongzhang knows Liu Jun's character and will never do anything without a purpose. So he reckons that there must be something wrong with this.
Liu Jun did not deny it, but nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed a purpose, after you hand over this letter to Cixi at that time, he will know, I think now, she must be very remorseful in her heart, and her body is better than death, after all, the Great Qing Kingdom was lost in her hands." ”
This is true, the two people present nodded, seeing the two nodding, Liu Jun shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, there is a reason for Cixi, but the bigger reason is not him, but the hidden danger caused by the Qianlong period back then, this hidden danger has been completely broken out in the Daoguang period." Originally, the court had the opportunity to flop that time, but in the end, the court did not flop, so to speak, the court can have today, and the biggest responsibility is still to be blamed on Qianlong. ”
Isn't this a little terrible, seeing Liu Jun say this, Zhang Zhidong and Li Hongzhang are a little incomprehensible, Liu Jun saw that the two didn't understand, and he didn't want to continue, but signaled the two of them to hurry up and prepare, and take an airship to Chengdu early tomorrow morning to participate in the abdication ceremony of the imperial court, as for what he said today, Liu Jun estimated that Cixi would be able to understand and understand it by then.
After the two of them left, Liu Jun turned around, glanced at Zheng Yiqian in front of him, then stood up and observed for a while in front of the corridor map and asked, "Where is Wang Shizhen's troops now?" ”
