After the Pacific Fleet walked around the sea off Japan, the Japanese government forced the ban on the Black Dragon Association and hanged Uchida Ryohei and Miyama Manta to calm Zhang Yunfei's anger.

The Qing court also received a rare foreign apology. Although it was just a newly rising Japan, it was the first time for the country's dynasty in nearly half a century.

However, the complacency of the court did not affect the suspicion of the old Buddha in the Summer Palace towards Zhang Yunfei. He used his relationship with Zhang's mother to refuse Zhang Yunfei from leaving Beijing.

Under the gaze of all the imperial physicians and doctors in the capital, Princess Ningxiang miraculously survived. Everyone knew that it was Zhang Yunfei who saved her, and there was also a gossip news that was rumored to be flying all over the sky.

Even though Ningxiang really hoped to stay in Zhang Yunfei's Duke's mansion, she had to be taken back to her home by Prince Gong Yixin, because the Sixth Prince was indeed very shameless.

However, Prince Gong Yi did give Zhang Yunfei a considerable reward. Yixin really put a lot of effort into Zhang Yunfei's application to dispatch officials to Shengjing.

Speaking of which, Yixin's gangsters are far less desolate than they are on the verge of being in the face. Yixin is about to enter the tomb, but she still has "shocked" brought Zhang Fei a lot of Westernization reformers.

There were Fu Zengxiang, Du, Shi Zhaoxiang, Cao Rulin, 6 Zongyu, Sun Duosen, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui and others, and there were Zhang Xun, Zhang Xiluan, Ni Sichong, Lei Zhenchun, Jiang Chaozong and others, a total of 53 people. When they heard that there were Tan Sitong and Yang Rui, Zhang Yunfei was stunned at that time. Isn’t these four newly appointed Zhang Jing military aircraft by Emperor Guangxu? Why are they also sent to Shengjing officials?

Tan Sitong? It’s been more than a hundred years!

It turned out that Tan Sitong had no agreement at all, but history had changed. Prince Gong Yixin saw him unexpectedly, so he could not watch him dragged into the water by the imperial party. Therefore, he directly used the rights of Minister Wang of Military Affairs to force Tan Sitong to be transferred to Shengjing. Among the four, only Yang Rui and Tan Sitong were good to each other and naturally refused to let him go to Shengjing, so he also signed up. The other two continued to stay in the Military Affairs Office and did not go with Tan Sitong.

At the same time, other candidates for the selection of places are Xu Jingcheng, the current assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This person has been the Minister of Germany and France in Europe before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and is quite knowledgeable. He was able to catch this big fish. Zhang Yunfei probably had a secret dream.

There are also Cao Rulin and 6 Zongyu. They are excellent diplomats. However, later they were forced to be pressure from the great powers in Paris and were accused of being traitors during the May Fourth Movement. In fact, how could they be willing to be traitors? Isn’t it because the country is weak? These little people in charge of negotiations are just scapegoats in the dominant scapegoats.

With these lists, Zhang Yunfei shook his head. He was very grateful to Yi Xin. He was afraid that all the foreign students and foreign affairs officials sent from the Qing Dynasty to Shengjing, Zhang Yun's enclave. He really couldn't underestimate Yi Xin's invisible palace in recent years, but his control over the Western affairs was far beyond Zhang Yun's enclave.

These people were probably hidden by Yixin's intentional preservation of their strength. Because Yixin stepped down, I am afraid that the central government of the court would no longer support the leaders of the Westernization Region.

Isn’t Li Hongzhang?

Of course, it is. However, Li Hongzhang and Yi Xin are two factions. This can be seen from Weng Tong. Because Weng Tong was Yi Xin's party, he was dismissed by Cixi with Yi Xin. Li Hongzhang was the Empress Dowager's party. It is conceivable where can he lead the Westernization Movement under the leadership of the Hou Party? Failure is a foregone conclusion.

Yi Xin’s gift is probably not just a thank you to Zhang Yunfei for saving Princess Ningxiang, but is treated as a dowry to Princess Ningxiang. This is no longer an open secret among all civil and military officials in the court!

Thinking of Princess Ningxiang's infatuation with Zhang Yunfei, Yunfei talked about the marriage with Ningxiang with her mother. Zhang's mother was naturally happy and thought that it would be a great honor to be able to climb to the prince's family. She also knew some gossip news about Zhang Yunfei and Ningxiang, so Zhang's mother raised their marriage with Empress Dowager Cixi.

Cixi was disgusted with the relationship with Aisin Gioluo, so she always opposed Zhang Yunfei and Ningxiang. However, what Cixi did not expect was that Zhang Yunfei secretly made a request to the emperor, and even asked the emperor to issue an order to marry the marriage despite Empress Dowager Cixi's opposition. In this way, Empress Dowager Cixi fell into ruin, so Cixi agreed to the marriage between Zhang Yunfei and Ningxiang Gege, but in order to regain this face, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Ningxiang to be appointed Princess Gulun.

According to the legal system of the Qing Dynasty, only the daughter born to the empress was named "Princess Gulun". After Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, he imitated the Ming system in the first year of Chongde (1636). The emperor's daughter was originally called "Princess", and it was stipulated that the daughter born to the empress (i.e. the central palace) was called "Princess Gulun", and the daughter born to the concubine and the empress's adopted daughter were called "Princess Heshuo". "Gulun" Manchu means the world, the country, the dignity, and the elegance; "Heshuo" is Manchu, which means one side.

Since Empress Dowager Cixi once accepted Yi Xin's eldest daughter, which is the current Princess Rongshou, it was natural that Yi Xin's youngest daughter was once again appointed as Princess Gulun.

However, Zhang Yunfei also had a "foreign" daughter-in-law Lin Ruo from Nanyang, so he simply played Zhang Yunfei happily and conferred Lin Ruo as the first-class imperial wife and led the concubine.

This was a shocking event in the Qing Dynasty. It would be fine if Cixi conferred the title of princess everywhere. She would not say anything about Zhang Yunfei's Han wife as a first-class imperial concubine. However, the rules of the Manchu and Han Dynasty's intermarriage were not allowed to be intermarried.

Of course, Cixi knew the laws of the Manchus. She had actually broken this rule long ago because she herself was a Han girl. However, she had to do things on the table. At the same time, in order to increase her "international popularity", Cixi followed De Ling's advice, broke the ban on intermarriage in Manchu and Han, and prohibited women from foot binding.

On March 23, 1898, Cixi issued an imperial edict:

"Our dynasty is very kind and has fallen into the world. The court never discriminates against the Manchu and Han subjects. However, the old rules did not match marriages. The reason was that when the customs and languages ​​were not described, they were not described. Therefore, they were the ban. Now, the same style has been in the same direction, and it has been more than 200 years. They should obey the favors and expel this ban. All the officials and civilians of Manchu and Han allowed them to marry each other, and they should not be restricted. As for Han women, they had many feet bound, and had a long history, and there was a sway of harming creatures. Later, the gentry family should politely persuade them to make them known to the households in order to gradually eliminate the accumulated habits. They would not allow officials to use words to ban the ban, which would disturb the people. If they encounter the year of the selection of girls, the Eight Banners will still be selected by the Han people, and avoid the previous illegitimate policies to show restrictions.

Let me know this encyclical."

This was originally an edict from Cixi to liberate women in 19011. Now everything is ahead of schedule. Deling did not follow his father back to France. He encouraged Cixi to issue this edict that shocked the world in advance, so that the powers all over the world really admired the supreme rule of China.

When Zhang Yunfei found out, he only said one thing: "Damn it, have you learned to hype your reputation?"

The country was shocked, of course, the women were happy, no longer having to abuse their little feet, and they could do the three-inch golden lotus. However, the men who liked the three-inch golden lotus were very dissatisfied with this. Who dared to object? Besides, in this way, it was said that it was one thing, and how the people below did it, and it was another.

The emperor and the empress dowager jointly granted the marriage, and finally set the wedding date on the eighth day of the April 19th. The Zhang family was busy preparing for the wedding. However, Prince Gong Yixin, after learning that Cixi had finally nodded, was finally happy for her daughter to find happiness. As a result, his tuberculosis worsened due to the tension in the previous period and the excitement now, and she fell ill in bed.

Regardless of the tense atmosphere in Prince Gong's mansion, Zhang Yunfei only knew the whole story of the incident of Empress Dowager Cixi installing a spy next to him after talking about a pitiful apology telegram from Yaer.

These incidents are purely coincidental. The reason why Xi secretly arranged people to be placed by Zhang Yunfei was not only to use the Zhang family's financial resources to build a garden for Cixi, but mainly to protect Zhang Yunfei's safety. He never thought that Zhang Yunfei, a playboy, would have the great achievements today.

Yaer and Xiner were close maids around Cixi, and they became Cixi's "spouses" and Zhang Yunfei was not surprised at all! They were originally specially arranged by Cixi for Zhang Yunfei, with the purpose of controlling the Zhang family's wealth so as to "serve" Empress Dowager Cixi. Due to Zhang's mother's relationship, Cixi could not be so direct in terms of face, so she would sign her to give Zhang Yunfei's concubine.

After getting married, Er and Xiner were caught between Cixi and Yunfei, and felt increasingly difficult to do. Especially since Ya'er became pregnant, she thought that her husband would inevitably have a head-on conflict with Cixi in the future, so she wanted to put aside her relationship with Cixi. Ya'er and Xiner were deeply taught by Cixi, so she was of course extremely smart. Knowing that Cixi would use Ya'er and Xiner as trump cards in the future to threaten Zhang Yunfei at critical moments, the two girls were anxious to return Cixi's favor and revealed some internal information about Yunfei Group.

There was no overnight revenge between the couple at the head of the bed. Fortunately, Yaer and Xiner revealed only the tip of Zhang Yunfei's iceberg. When Zhang Yunfei saw the two women taking the initiative to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, he was more in his heart to him, so he forgave them.

Just when Zhang Yunfei and Ya'er were reconciled, good news suddenly came from Honolulu. Ya'er gave birth to a son for Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei, who was far away in Beijing, was so excited that he was too excited that he was born a few days earlier.

While being a father, Zhang Yunfei was happy, he also completely let go of his heart. As a time-traveler rebirth, having descendants means that he truly integrates into this world.

Celebrate! Nothing to celebrate!

In addition to the mother who was very happy that the Zhang family had a descendant, the happiest one was Zhang Yunfei's subordinates. In their opinion, Zhang Yunfei's son was much more valuable and important than Zhang Yunfei.

Why? The traditional Zhongjia Group attaches the most importance to the inheritance of the power of the leader. If Zhang Fei does not have a son or descendants, then even if Zhang Yunfei conquers the great power, he cannot stabilize his subordinates. In the future, the huge imperial group under his command will inevitably suffer civil unrest due to the power dispute after Zhang Yunfei's death. This is an inevitable problem. Throughout the dynasties, regardless of civil and military officials, they have valued whether the masters who follow can pass on the power in a stable manner. Those who have no descendants will almost be sentenced to "death penalty" early.

Now that Zhang Yunfei has a future, it means that the rights and interests of the Huajun Group can be passed on and there will be no internal rupture due to the loss of the backbone.

Of course, there must be contradictions within a huge interest group, but as long as there is a backbone, the contradictions can be reconciled. Zhang Yunfei's son undoubtedly became the biggest reassurance to stabilize the internal forces of the group.

Honolulu, Luzon, Shengjing, and even Ryukyu all held grand celebrations. Zhang Yunfei naturally wanted to express his slightestness and gave his subordinates a large red envelope!

At the same time, Zhang Yunfei said in great pain: "Why do people have to collect red envelopes for their sons but have to give red envelopes to others in reverse?"

Without getting the money from his subordinates, the ministers of the state gave Zhang Yunfei a lot of gifts to congratulate Zhang Yunfei on his son.

Of course, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu also had to express that Empress Dowager Cixi loved jade the most and gave Zhang Yunfei's son a jade watermelon. After seeing it, Zhang Yunfei was shocked. Wasn't it the one that Cixi buried with her a few years later? It's really unlucky, but since Cixi gave such a valuable thing, Zhang Yunfei naturally would be very grateful.

Which civil and military officials in the court didn't know the value of this jade watermelon? They were all drooling and staring at this treasure! Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: I really don't care about this thing. If it can be auctioned, it will be priceless, but this thing is obviously not dared to give it to people or sell it, and I have to offer it! Yaya! It's not useful! At least when Cixi was alive, it was like this.

Emperor Guangxu had no money and no great power, after all, he was still an emperor, right? So he issued an edict: Zhang Yunfei's eldest son Zhang Xingguo was first-class Adahaha, with a rank of 2,000 stones. Zhang Xingguo's biological mother Zhang Wang was appointed as the first-class wife of the imperial edict, and the concubine of the Duke of the State.

First-class Adahahafan Hanwen was the first-class light chariot commander, with his subordinates as the cavalry commander and Yunqi commander, both of which were hereditary titles of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qingche Duwei in the Qing Dynasty was a title of a meritorious official and a relative of the foreign surname, not a real position. It was located in the sixth place of the title, under the Baron of Duke and Bozi. Like the above titles, they were divided into three levels. The Qingche Duwei belonged to the third rank, and the second and third ranks were from the third rank. As a kind of title, all do not enjoy other actual official positions, so it is just a noble who has a title without specific positions.

This kind of enthronement seems to be meaningless to Zhang Yunfei. It is just a name. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is quite honorable, but Zhang Yunfei thinks it is better to give a jade watermelon like Cixi and exchange it for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

At the same time, the cabinet ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Germany, the Prime Ministers and other countries are stationed in Honolulu and stationed in Honolulu.

The museum also reported or sent people to congratulate him. It is worth mentioning that the congratulatory message from the British King of Wei did not make Zhang Yunfei very proud. In addition to personal factors (Zhang Yunfei gave her a luxury car), in politics, the degree of importance the UK attaches to Zhang Yunfei has reached a new level.

If you are happy, new problems will follow.

Lafa in the Summer Palace is not that good. Since she learned that the inside line in Honolulu had lost its effect, she has begun a new arrangement.

At the same time, Jilin General Changshun reported that the first 20,000 Russian troops had arrived in Vladivostok. In addition to the Russian prisoners of war released by Zhang Yunfei 6, the Russian troops in Vladivostok had reached 50,000, and the border troops in Jilin Town were already overwhelmed.

For this reason, Cixi knew that it was necessary to put Zhang Yun back to the Northeast as soon as possible to counter Russia's military pressure. Cixi was not stupid. She knew that if the Northeast was lost, Beijing would be a defenseless capital.

But he was obviously worried when he let Yunfei go back like this, and just happened to catch Zhang Yunfei having a son, so Cixi proposed to ask Yaer and his son to come to Beijing together. In addition to Empress Dowager Cixi and Zhang's mother wanting to meet their grandson, Cixi's purpose was to detain Zhang Yunfei's wife and children in Beijing as hostages. After all, Zhang Yunfei could not always be detained and refused to let him leave. After a long time, even if Zhang Yunfei himself didn't mind, his subordinates would be dissatisfied.

Zhang Yunfei naturally could not refute Ci's words. After all, Zhang's mother also had this wish and could not disobey her intentions. It was no big deal to think that her son was in Beijing. After all, she would not openly rebel in a short period of time, so she naturally had a way to deal with Cixi.

So, Yaer's mother and Xin'er flew to Lushun on Adel's airship and were escorted into Beijing by the navy.

When Zhang Yunfei saw Yaer and Xin'er again, the two girls were much haggard, and in Zhang Yunfei's eyes, it hurts in his heart.

The two women have changed a lot, and they may have let go of the burden in their hearts. Yaer only thought about taking care of their husbands and children. When she saw Lin Ruo beside Zhang Yunfei, she was not surprised, but instead said hello politely! After learning that Zhang Yunfei and Princess Ningxiang did not make a fuss, she thought it was normal.

Xin'er is not a child who has not grown up like before. Now she looks at the baby in Ya'er's arms with envy, and then when she looks at Zhang Yunfei, she is full of charming temptation.

The feeling of home is different. Zhang Yunfei, who had endured for several months, finally regained the man's self-esteem and the days when Xin'er just came back. It made Zhang Yunfei no longer have to sleep alone in the bed, and experienced the feeling of being happy and unwilling to leave.

Time quickly entered April of the year of Xuxu. After several months of observation by Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhang Yunfei seemed to be a "good baby" and left her with some very dangerous signals. In addition, the border defenses of Heiji provinces were extremely nervous. Therefore, after careful consideration, Empress Dowager Xi finally let go and allowed Zhang Yunfei to return to Shengjing.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the official document in his hand. In addition to the official seal of the Ministry of Personnel, he also had Empress Dowager Cixi's private seal. Empress Dowager Cixi's control ability was extraordinary.

Zhang Yunfei smiled bitterly because he paid a great "price" to leave Beijing this time.

At that time, Zhang Yunfei was also worried about the powerless Guangxu, thinking in his heart that Emperor Guangxu's reforms were about to come to an end, because Zhang Yunfei had already smelled the strong smell of gunpowder between the emperor and the empress, and now only one star fire would explode violently.

Of course Yunfei knows what this fuse is!

Of course, Emperor Guangxu was preparing to launch a coup and imprisoned Empress Dowager Cixi to take full power!

Why does Zhang Yunfei know this?

It turned out that because Tan Sitong was transferred to Shengjing by Yuan, he naturally came to say hello to Zhang Yunfei first! During the conversation, Si also talked about Emperor Guangxu's determination to reform and his current situation from time to time.

Zhang Yunfei naturally knew that Emperor Guangxu had no power and went between the lines. Zhang Yunfei heard the meaning of Tan Sitong trying to persuade Zhang Yunfei to support Emperor Guangxu with force! Zhang Yunfei suddenly thought that Tan Sitong was planning to kill Cixi and took the risk to persuade Yuan Shikai to start a mutiny.

When Zhang Yunfei asked if Tan Sitong had ever seen Yuan Shikai, Tan Sitong said that there was no such thing as the last. Zhang Yunfei felt relieved. As long as there was no mutiny, Emperor Guangxu would be able to endure the military parade in the autumn. In this way, the reform would last for more than half a year, and Zhang Yunfei would be able to use the banner of reform for half a year to poach the corners.

However, when Zhang Yunfei told Tan Sitong that Yuan Shikai was not as open and upright as Tan Sitong imagined! Tan Sitong was obviously angry at Zhang Yunfei's words and said that Zhang Yunfei was just a villain. Zhang Yunfei naturally didn't care at all, because he said this on purpose. The purpose was to arouse Tan Sitong's disgust with him. Then when Yuan Shikai betrayed Emperor Guangxu, Tan Sitong would look at Zhang Yunfei with admiration and admire him. Zhang Yunfei had tried this trick of stealing these noble talents with retreat to advance, and it was tried many times!

However, what Zhang Yunfei didn't know was that the reason why Empress Cixi gave Zhang Yunfei the official report so quickly was not for other reasons. Instead, she saw that Emperor Guangxu's imperial party and the personnel of the reformists began to pay attention to Zhang Yunfei and started to take up Zhang Yunfei's idea.

Empress Dowager Cixi naturally had to take into account the rights and interests in front of her. If Zhang Yunfei extended a helping hand to the reformists, the party would naturally take into account it. Whether it was Zhang Yunfei's power or strength, they all had important power. It can be said that if Zhang Yunfei stomped his feet, the city of Beijing would tremble. However, Zhang Yunfei was very low-key in Beijing and didn't want to participate.

However, if Zhang Yunfei is in Beijing, if the emperor is desperate and seeks Zhang Yunfei's support from force, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Therefore, after repeated consideration, Empress Dowager Cixi decided to let Zhang Yunfei leave Beijing City as soon as possible, so that there would be no more powerful figures in the important areas of Zhili Jingji.

By the way, there were unexpected situations in the sky. As soon as we entered Beijing in April, there were several strong winds, and the weather was gloomy. It was the eighth day of the April 2018, but just as Zhang Yunfei was about to marry Princess Ningxiang and Lin Ruo, a wail came from Prince Gong's mansion.

Prince Gong Yixin died!

Depend on!

Zhang Yunfei, who originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, immediately gestured his middle finger to the sky!
Chapter completed!
