Chapter 91 Historic Meeting
After Qin Yun, Tan Sitong, Yuan Shikai, Wang Wu and others entered the city, they separated. Everyone had their own important tasks to complete, so it was not convenient to gather together. Besides, what Qin Yun said when he entered the city before is still echoing in their minds, and everyone was a little confused and unable to control themselves.
Qin Yun was going to go to the Ministry of War, but it was inappropriate for him to come to Beijing without receiving the order. However, it would be even more inappropriate if he did not report it after entering Beijing. Although Qin Yun did not take Qingting seriously, it was not yet time to turn against him, and some rules should be followed.
Besides, with the Restoration Party blocking the front, Qin Yun can be more comfortable and obtain greater benefits.
But before Qin Yun could go to the Ministry of War, someone had been waiting for a long time. The Restoration Party finally won over a person with military power, so how could it be negligent? Under Kang Youwei's personal guidance, the two of them walked towards the palace with a smile.
Kang Youwei was a typical scholar in feudal society. Compared to a patriot who was only enthusiastic and heroic, who had no political experience, who had the cunning and scheming of politicians of this era. In other words, he had the thoughts and skills of some politicians, but was immature and the innocence of some scholars.
In the original history, although they, the "praised and kind-hearted" who were outside the system, realized the importance of reform and had the enthusiasm for reform, they did not have the means of reform. They had no real power in their hands, and were vulnerable to the face of the diehards who had real power and smoothness, and ultimately could not escape the fate of failure.
This does not mean that they are all really stupid. It is just that within the system, people with power, power and skill have no intention of changing. They can only seize a puppet emperor without real power. Although the final result is doomed to fail, they have to admit that they are the only people who are willing to open their eyes to see the world!
The time to meet the emperor was short, but Emperor, Kang Youwei and others praised Qin Yun very much, praising Qin Yun as the "first person to the outside world". Qin Yun patiently listened to the "teachings" of Emperor and Kang Youwei, and on the surface he looked loyal.
In the end, Qin Yun left the Palace of Yangxin under the anticipated eyes of the emperor and Kang Youwei.
As soon as Qin Yun left the Yangxin Palace, the expression on his face could no longer be maintained. He looked at the Yangxin Palace, his eyes showed a sarcastic look, and he left expressionlessly.
Although both the emperor and Kang Youwei expressed their respect for him very much, but who was Qin Yun? What he experienced was far from comparable to the emperor and Kang Youwei. He could see at a glance that the false behind the appearance of the emperor and Kang Youwei's kindness. Although they wanted to borrow Qin Yun's power, in their hearts, Qin Yun was still in the category of traitors, so naturally they would not really talk to Qin Yun.
If this is the case, it would be fine. But they wanted to take advantage of it, but they were unwilling to give it a little. While asking Qin Yun's Wu Yi army to drive to the capital, they did not pass the documentary disc for Qin Yun, asking Qin Yun to find a way himself.
The funniest thing is that they don’t give up a penny. Not to mention the specific benefits of silver, arms, and official positions, they are not willing to give them even empty titles. It seems that as long as they, the saints and wise ministers say something, Qin Yun will "devote his whole life to the death and die."
In this way, even if Qin Yun himself had the intention of "serving his life", he might have become completely discouraged at this moment. Some of his original favorable feelings for Kang Youwei and others have now disappeared.
Perhaps in the hearts of the emperor, Kang Youwei and others, being able to pardon and reuse "rebellious ministers" like Qin Yun is not pursued, and it is already the best reward for Qin Yun. Even, they think that "polishing" Qin Yun is the best compensation for Qin Yun.
Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly kindness!
Although Qin Yun is not a good person, he is a very principled person. He was originally planning to help Kang Youwei and others because of Tan Sitong and the mission. But now Kang Youwei and others are actually "playing" with him like this, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Idiot!" Qin Yun sneered, turned around and walked towards the palace gate, thinking in his mind that he began to implement the final plan.
Qin Yun didn't walk for long when he suddenly heard a call. He turned around and found an old eunuch leading a group of people to him. Judging from his rank, his status in the palace is definitely not low.
"Is it Li Lianying?" Qin Yun couldn't help but guess at the old eunuch's luxurious clothes and a large group of people behind him.
"I dare to ask, but Yingshang, our Li Lianying is polite here." The old eunuch stood three meters away in front of Qin Yun and said kindly.
This old eunuch was Li Lianying, the chief eunuch of the Qing court. He accompanied Empress Dowager Cixi for nearly 53 years. He was the most powerful eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty and the first person to be called "Lao Buddha".
"It turns out that it is General Manager Li, who is polite." Qin Yun neither contempts or flatters Li Lianying, and seems very ordinary. But speaking of it, let alone Li Lianying, even the emperor and the empress dowager, he doesn't need to flatter.
"I dare not, I dare not. Yingshang is a pillar of the court and is famous all over the world. How dare we use Yingshang as a traitor for such a broken person in our family?" Li Lianying was very kind.
Qin Yun smiled slightly and talked to Li Lianying for a few words. Li Lianying finally explained his purpose.
"Yingshou, Empress Dowager is invited."
"The Empress Dowager has an order, and as a minister, he should obey it. He still said that he would not invite him." Qin Yun smiled, and his tone did not give in at all.
Li Lianying seemed to have not heard the deep meaning and still faced Qin Yun with a smile.
Not long after, under the leadership of Li Lianying, Qin Yun came to Cining Palace and met Empress Dowager Cixi.
Well, I saw it through the curtain.
"You are Qin Yun?"
"I am the one who is the one who is not here."
"Okay, it's true that he is a handsome talent, and he deserves to be a pillar of the court."
"The Lord Lafayette praised him. I just did my own duties well and could not be praised by Lord Lafayette so much."
"Well said it well! People, the most important thing is to be content with oneself and do what they do. But this is the case, but few people in the court can understand."
“…”
"Come here! I'm passing the imperial edict. Qin Yun made contributions to the country and was promoted to the second-rank deputy commander, and was given the title of Minister of War. Wu Yi's army expanded 15,000 people, and was treated equally by the new army."
"I thank Lafayette for your kindness."
"Well, you go down and don't let down the expectations of the court and the Ai family for you."
"The weak minister died."
Qin Yun walked out of Cining Palace, his eyes were a little playful. It turned out that he was more promising to be a big villain. He was promoted and raised at once, became the general manager, became CEO, married a rich and beautiful woman, and reached the peak of his life!
