"Yes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Peilun took the telegram from Li Shaoquan's hand. After studying for a while, his face couldn't help but change, and he seemed to be a little nervous.

"Nave. Judging from Li Xiang's letter. In the near future, there may be a major change in the DPRK and China that is not favorable to our navy! ”

"Tell me." Li Shaoquan took a puff of the hookah in his hand, and his expression was still very calm.

Zhang Peilun put the telegram on the big ebony table in front of Li Shaoquan. began to interpret the true meaning of the words on the telegram for Li Shaoquan word by word.

"The so-called 'Yu Mountain' naturally refers to Weng Shuping."

Zhang Peilun looked at Li Shaoquan and saw that the latter had nodded slightly, thinking that he understood the meaning of these two words - Weng Shuping's ancestral hometown is Yushan in Changshu, Jiangsu.

"This Si Nong should refer to the book of the household department." Zhang Peilun continued. Li Shaoquan nodded slowly.

The various ministries of the imperial court have many other names, such as the current people call the household department "Ministry of Agriculture", those related to agriculture are under the management of the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of the Sea is also called the "Ministry of Commerce", and those related to the navy such as railways, industry and commerce, shipping, and mining are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, and are referred to by the titles of "Ministry of Agriculture" and "Ministry of Commerce", which can be described as more vivid.

"Since Yan Danchu passed away, he Weng Shuping has been quiet again." Li Shaoquan sneered.

"What Zhongtang said is good, when Yan Gong was in charge of the household department, whenever the foreign affairs and navy had a plan, they would help each other, and Lin Hanpeng sent an envoy to Europe and the United States to purchase ships, and he also prepared a variety of help, but now that he is gone, Weng Shuping can't wait to take charge of the household department again, and then do the things that were hindered in the past, but I am afraid that there are strong supporters behind him." Zhang Peilun looked at Li Shaoquan, and a pair of small eyes actually flashed with light, "Zhongtang, if the student remembers correctly, I am afraid that there is only one person in this powerful person now." ”

Li Shaoquan's body shook slightly, and he immediately understood which one Zhang Peilun was talking about as this "strong supporter"!

"Yes...... Sixth Master ......"

"Just looking at the first half of the sentence, it is reckless to draw the conclusion just now, but the second half of the sentence given by Li Xiang clearly points out who is the supporter behind Weng Shuping." Zhang Peilun said calmly, "Taiyue, this is the alias of Wudang Mountain, Wudang is the head of the world's Dao Mountain, the sixth master is good, self-proclaimed 'Ledaotang master', and also called himself 'Taiyue' in calligraphy and painting, so this Taiyue refers to the sixth master." And this 'Bohai' should refer to the navy, some people impeached Lin Hanpeng back then, saying that he 'wanted to use Kunming Lake to change the Bohai Sea', so this time Li Xiang used the name Bohai as a metaphor for the navy. ”

"That is to say, the navy has been in the hands of the seventh master for a long time, and the sixth master has begun to be dissatisfied. They want to reclaim the power of the navy. Li Shaoquan sighed, "Sixth Master, I, Li Zhangtong and Lin Wenxiang, still misread you......"

The room fell silent for a while, and after a long time, Zhang Peilun's voice sounded again,

"Before that, some people have repeatedly made statements to the center, saying that the power of our dynasty is greater than the sea department, and in the long run, it will become a big trend." Zhang Peilun simply stopped beating around the bush and directly said the worries in his heart, "Under the crowd, the court is suspicious of Haibu. Didn't Weng Shuping participate in Beiyang back then, saying that Beiyang was a feudal town, this time it was just that he changed his target, but Lord Zhongtang is now able to handle maritime affairs, and he is also one of the ministers of the maritime department......"

"Horn!"

Li Shaoquan slammed his backhand on the ebony table, and the blue and white porcelain tea bowl that was originally placed on the table was shocked to the ground, and then fell straight to the bluestone floor, shattered into several pieces, and the hot tea splashed all over the ground!

Li Shaoquan's face turned red for a while, his eyes were full of anger, Zhang Peilun on the side was silenced in a timely manner, and the room was so silent that it seemed that he could hear a needle dropping.

"Yu Qiao, you say, what else is there to possibly do?" Li Shaoquan's voice became hoarse with anger, but when he asked such a sentence, it showed that he was not confused.

"In Gao Yang's telegram, the word 'block' was mentioned." Zhang Peilun said, "The meaning of this blocking word may be that Uncle Weng is on the fold and asks the court to issue an order, taking advantage of the illness of the seventh master, the sixth master will take charge of the sea and take back the military power of the navy." It is more likely that he will not be able to take over the power, and he wants to repeat the old plan and take the opportunity to block the supply of the navy. ”

"Gao Yang has always smuggled letters instead of telegrams when communicating with students, but this time I think the situation is urgent, so I have to take the telegram." There was a hint of anxiety in Zhang Peilun's voice, "It can be seen that this matter has already been decided, but the center has not yet made a decision considering the reaction of the sea department, but the student estimates that Weng Shuping's protégé may have handed over the fold at this time." ”

Since Li Gaoyang was already in a hurry to the extent that he sent a telegram to Zhang Peilun in a hidden language to warn him, it was enough to see how far the conspiracy in the Beijing Division had been going on to reduce the military power of the Haibu!

"Mother sells skin! Weng Shuping - Okay! Good! Li Shaoquan was rarely furious, stood up suddenly, and paced back and forth in the hall.

"Zhongtang, the matter has come to this, will the plan be settled?" When Zhang Peilun saw Li Shaoquan's appearance, his heart also became anxious.

"Will the plan be released?" Li Shaoquan smiled bitterly, "Just from the selected person and this day to plan this matter, you can know how attentive he Weng Shuping is to this matter." ”

"The imperial court has been suspicious of the sea department for a long time, and the navy has made many meritorious deeds since the day it was established, but the so-called high merit shocks the master, and the suspicion of the imperial court is even heavier. If the seventh master didn't have this serious illness, maybe he could help us get on top, but now ......" Li Shaoquan suddenly closed his mouth, and his face changed slightly.

"Nakado-sama should have thought of it. The seventh master's illness this time is actually strange. Zhang Peilun said.

"Then I said that, the illness of the Queen Mother a few days ago is ......" Li Shaoquan looked at Zhang Peilun and had already read the answer from his eyes.

"Lin Hanpeng entered the female doctor at the right time to see the Queen Mother, and it is estimated that he saw the problem here." Zhang Peilun said, "On the day of the Seventh Master's illness, it is said that it was also extremely dangerous, and it was Lin Hanpeng who quickly sent this female doctor to treat the Seventh Master after knowing the news, which saved the Seventh Master......"

"But now the Queen Mother and the Seventh Master have not recovered, although we know the news, we are afraid that it will be difficult to stop Weng Shuping's poisonous plan of 'drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle'......" Li Shaoquan sighed.

"The students thought that Lin Hanpeng would have to deal with it."

"At this time, this is only up to him......"

"But the students still feel that we have to work the fold."

"That's nature."

At about the same time, in the study, Weng Shuping finally finished writing the last stroke of Xie En's recital.

From now on, he is the head of the household again.

He picked up the ink and browsed it a few times, but suddenly found that he couldn't add or subtract a word! A hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he simply took out another folded book, and carefully copied the written fold again.

Weng Shuping finished transcribing the folds, got up and took out a small wooden box from the bookshelf, he opened the lid of the box, took out a yellowed paper note from the box, and placed it side by side under the lamp with the copy of the fold that he had just copied, and then sat down in front of the bookcase again.

The color of the paper has become a little dark yellow, it looks like an ancient painting of coloring has been full of vicissitudes, and the handwriting on it is also quite strange, the color is dark, it does not look like ink, and at the top of the paper is a line of title - "Sam Weng Shu Geng Piece"!

Looking at the fold of the old and the new in front of him, Weng Shuping's emotions rarely became excited.

Weng Shuping's thoughts suddenly returned to that terrible winter night many years ago - seeing the Ming Fa edict that dealt with the eldest brother "according to the commanders and commanders who were not garrisoned, they were thieves and covered up, so that those who lost the city were beheaded and were going to be beheaded", the old father, who was already over the age and was dying, fainted at once, and died soon after. The eldest brother was subsequently sentenced to exile in the northwest, and finally died in a foreign country...... And the huge Weng family almost fell!

And all of this is thanks to the paper in front of Li Shaoquan's "Sam Weng Shu Geng Piece"!

“…… Weng Shugeng, the former governor of Anhui, in July of the eighth year of Xianfeng, Liang Yuan was frustrated and retreated to Dingyuan. Wei Shi has not been in office for a long time, and he can still pass the buck. It was stationed for a year, and in June of the ninth year, the city of Dingyuan fell, and the civil and military officials and gentry were martyred. The governor abandoned the city and fled to Shouzhou, exhausted, reverted to Miao Peilin for support, repeatedly neglected sponsorship, raised carbuncles, and the gentry were resentful, so there was a vendetta between Sun Jiatai and Miao Lian. When Miao was caught against the siege, he killed Xu Lizhuang, Sun Jiatai, and Meng Shizhong to Mei Miao, but did not break the siege. When Shoucheng is broken, then Bo Chongwu, Qingrui, and Yin Shanting will pass through the seedlings and get out. Miao Peilin captured the city, the killing was very miserable, the encroachment was widespread, Weng Shugeng could not be martyred, but he had the strength to protect Miao Rebellion, and the regimental training was guilty. At first, it was said that Miao Lian entered the city and did not kill civilians, and then it said that the victims of Shouzhou and the martyrs of women were innumerable, and asked Peng Yulin to find out the guilt, which was already a contradiction. In the first month of last year, Miao Peilin was called "Miao Peilin's Bingying", which was popular among the people. There is 'as a feudal official, he should be the system of the imperial court, and he is also the eternal elusion. Today is not a loyal word, what has you learned in your life', and the cloud 'swears to defend this territory for the country and protect this remnant', as if it is upright and unyielding, and the words are coerced by wind and frost. In September, Shouzhou City was broken, and Uncle Weng played one fold and two pieces, which showed Miao Peilin's loyalty. Seeing the first month of the month is sparse, it is not a big contradiction, and it is also judged to be like an abyss. Reversing right and wrong, confusing the saint and listening, corrupting the discipline, nothing more! ”

"If Weng Shugeng claims that he has unloaded the seal and should not defend the city, he should lead himself away as soon as possible, and he should not be punished with suspicion; As the lord of a city, it is not appropriate to kill more group training, so as to rebel against the power of Miao. If Weng Shugeng is ordered to defend the city, he should die with the people, and should not be cowardly; and should not be coerced and sloppy, Duwan turned to steal his life. After the matter was decided, Weng Shugeng sent three letters to his ministers, without any words of blame, and he was completely ashamed, and Tian was not surprised. Since the rise of the army, the governor has been severely punished for the loss of the escape, and Weng Shugeng has lost in Dingyuan and Shouzhou twice, which has caused the disaster of Miao rebellion, how can he get away with it? In response to the request, Weng Shugeng was dismissed from his post and questioned, and His Majesty Wang's minister Jiuqing discussed the crime with the Criminal Department, and showed his vigilance in order to enforce military discipline. Where the position of the minister is, the example should be corrected, and he does not dare to accommodate because of the prosperity of Weng Shugeng's door. Whether it is appropriate or not, the Emperor Fu begs for the Holy Advice. I would like to enclose the piece of music. ”

Weng Shuping's eyes that had been slightly cloudy slowly overflowed with tears, he stretched out his hand, slowly rubbing the handwriting on the manuscript of "Ginseng Weng Shugeng Tablets", and finally in the text, "Weng Shugeng lost in Dingyuan and Shouzhou twice, and caused the disaster of Miao rebellion, how should he get away with it?" He stopped, and the sadness in his eyes gradually turned into anger and perverseness!

It's less than 600 words on a piece of paper. But it can be described as a thousand words. Every sentence is bloody. First of all, he counted many crimes such as the eldest brother Weng Tongshu's loyalty and treachery, misuse of villains, improper measures, greed for life and fear of death, and loss of two cities in a row. Then he pointed out the contradictions in the eldest brother's previous compromises to the imperial court. Attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son. Kill the eldest brother's self-defense retreat one by one!

And the last sentence "where the ministry is." Examples should be corrected. I don't dare to accommodate because of the heyday of Weng Shugeng's gate." It also smashed the wishful thinking of the imperial court that decided to "look forward to accommodation" in order to take care of the Weng family's "prosperity"! was forced into a corner by Zeng Bohan and Li Shaoquan, the master and apprentice, and in the end, he could only take the eldest brother to the knife. According to military law, the eldest brother was sentenced to "be beheaded and imprisoned......

Weng Shuping read the copy of "Ginseng Weng Shugeng Tablets" that he hated again, took a deep breath, and took out another copy of the manuscript from the wooden box and opened it.

The title of this transcript is "Please stop buying ship machinery and reduce the brave camp fold"!

“…… Since the ministers were ordered to re-execute the household department, they only felt that the Holy Lord relied on the long, and every time they were spare time, they repeatedly raised the maintenance, that is, for the country's financial management, since the overall planning, and calculated everything, it was the long-term plan of the country. ”

"At present, the country's vitality is not full, the times are still huge, the government is too much, the people are not at peace, the industry is not half prosperous, and everything needs to be done. However, the treasury is empty, if there are many things at the same time, the use of a large number of degrees, too extravagant, I am afraid that there is a risk of carelessness in the beginning, just the so-called desire to prosper and turn to harm, and it is better to say that it is better to be delayed. The only way to do this is to choose the most important one among all things, hold it gradually, persevere for a long time, and strive to avoid vanity in order to seek reality. And the next thing should be carefully arranged, slowly planned, and then continued when the treasury is full, so that all things can be helped, funds can be turned, and the people can get interest. ”

"Since Tongzhi was instructed to control the water in the eleventh year, he has been planning strategies and careful managers for several years, and he has gradually done so, although he has spent tens of millions, but he has finally succeeded. According to the prelude of the sea department and the combat readiness of the navy, as far as the gateway of the Bohai Sea is concerned, it has a deep-rooted and unshakable trend. And now there is nothing to do in the sea and frontier, and the matter of the navy seems to be able to be slowed down a little. Moreover, land defense is also the foundation of the country, and now the Yong battalion is accumulating more and more evil, and the military front is slackening, and it is necessary to rectify it urgently. With the armament of many of the old style, the funds are scarce, it seems that it is advisable to rebuild it in another way, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and merge and train in order to be effective. ”

"Therefore, the minister asked the navy to suspend the purchase of guns, ships, and machinery for two years, and then make up for it after the limit is expired. And the whole elimination of the unusable brave camp, the price of silver, the solution of the department to charge, so that the measures are more thoughtful, the risk of the treasury, can still be relieved, can be a lasting ......"

Looking at the words on the fold, Weng Shuping's eyes narrowed rarely, radiating a cold light.

"Big brother...... In the past, he Li Shaoquan was ruined and died in a foreign land, but today, when I go up, I can cut off the survival of the navy that he has run for half his life, and once he starts a war with the Japanese again, he can kill him......"

"Although the navy won the battle in Korea this time, the so-called high merit shocked the master, and it was a great opportunity to bring him down Li Shaoquan......

Thinking of his brother who died in a foreign country, Weng Shuping's voice was also a little choked, and he folded the three parts under the lamp and lit them and put them in the brazier.

"Big brother, take a look...... This time, I will first take his favorite navy, as long as I can cut off the navy's salary, it is equivalent to asking him for half of Li Shaoquan's life, your revenge, and my father's revenge, even if it is half avenged......"

The lit copy of the recital burned brighter and brighter in the brazier, illuminating Weng Shuping's slightly distorted face.

The light of the fire gradually dimmed, and the burning paper finally turned into ashes, and Weng Shuping's face gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, suddenly a lightning bolt pierced the night sky, followed by an earth-shattering thunderclap, and a cold wind hit through the crack in the window, making Weng Shuping, who was sitting by the window, shiver.

Weng Shuping hurriedly got up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked out, only to see that the night sky was full of dark clouds, the stars and the moon were hidden, and a gust of wind swept by, blowing him shivering, and his heart, which was originally slightly happy because of the revenge of the family, suddenly became as full of haze as this weather!

Weng Shuping returned to the table and polished the ink - he liked calligraphy, and whenever there was a major event, he would send pen and ink to feel at ease.

It's just that he originally wanted to use calligraphy to entertain himself, but now he has never been able to calm down.

In front of his eyes, the figure of Emperor Guangxu gradually emerged.

He almost watched the emperor grow up, since the first year of Guangxu was dedicated to walking in Yuqing Palace, and then counted as the emperor's day, it has been almost seventeen years now, and the emperor has grown from an ignorant child to a weak-crowned young man today.

For his protégé, Uncle Weng was originally quite satisfied, his temperament was a little cowardly, but his brain was quite clear, although he was a little impatient, but whenever he faced a major event, he was willing to listen to his teacher's advice, which was enough.

But now, he faintly felt that another person's influence on the emperor was getting bigger and bigger, and there were even signs of surpassing himself!

Lin Yiqing!

Over the years, Lin Yiqing has not only been favored by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, but the emperor also trusts him, and has a lot of words, the emperor refuses to say it to himself, but he likes to talk to this Lin Shaomu's grandson!

Thinking of Lin Yiqing's past when he secretly overthrew Zuo Jigao in the past, Weng Shuping's heart couldn't help but feel chills.

Another gust of wind rushed in, the lights and candles in the room flickered, the window paper rattled uneasily, and the night breeze gently lifted the paper covering the fold that Weng Shuping had just written, revealing the cover of the fold. Looking at the fold that was about to be handed over, Weng Shuping actually became a little hesitant again.

But when he thought of the great feud of "father and brother" and his current backstage, Weng Shuping's face became hideous again. (To be continued.) )
