After establishing the 6th Army yamen, Yuan Jing, the Zhili Censor and the New Army's Training Minister, came back, he stayed in the study and did not come out.

My subordinates didn't know what happened, but after Yuan Shikai came back, news of Empress Dowager Cixi taking a coup came, it was probably related to this matter!

Feng Guozhang, the general manager of the camp affairs office, and the artillery battalion control section, who were closer to Yuan Shikai, so he came over to ask what happened to Yuan Shikai?

In the study, Yuan Shikai looked at his two capable generals and felt a little relieved.

"Why are you feeling depressed after coming back? Could it be that there is another mystery to enter Beijing this time?" Feng Guozhang asked first.

"Suppose you are ashamed! Hua Fuzhiquan should not laugh at me!" Yuan Shikai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Feng Guozhang and Duan ~ Rui hurriedly said, "Why did you say this? You can kill me and wait!"

Yuan Shikai sighed, "I originally thought that this time I was summoned to Beijing, I could seize the opportunity to find a bright future for our new army! But the devil is one foot taller, so how could the Queen Mother and Old Buddha take action first? If they hadn't received the secret report in advance, Hua Fu and Zhiquan would probably have come to the prison to visit Yuan!"

Feng Guozhang and Duan~ Both knew that Yuan Shikai had climbed to this position today and was the most prone to speculation. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai dared to intervene in the power struggle between Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu this time. He was really good at it!

Both of them were worried about Yuan Shikai's bold actions!

Looking at Yuan Shi Duan ~ Rui with a look of disappointment, he said, "In Duan's opinion, this decision is absolutely wise!"

Feng Guozhang frowned and asked, "Sir, just die for it. Zhiquan, are you talking sarcastic?"

However, Yuan Shikai asked with great interest: "Hua Fu, don't blame Zhiquan. I believe Zhiquan can say this. There must be Zhiquan's opinion! Zhiquan said to us!"

Duan ~ bowed and said, "This time, if Duan decides, he will definitely do this!"

Then he said: "In Duan's opinion, this land coup is either the queen mother wins or the emperor wins! The long-standing struggle between the emperor and the empress will not be empty. The emperor has been in charge of power for more than ten years, but has no real power. The queen mother's two tutors will inevitably make the emperor very dissatisfied!"

Then Duan Rui sighed again: "The emperor grew up under the empress dowager's power since childhood. He dared not refute the empress dowager's words. This will inevitably cause the emperor to be weak on the surface and vicious on the inside. When it reaches a certain level, it will inevitably be out of control!"

"That's right! This time the emperor openly ordered the emperor to enter Beijing, but it was the first time to lead soldiers and generals to come to Beijing to meet the saints. I'm afraid it's because I don't want to endure it anymore!" Yuan Shikai nodded and said.

Feng Guozhang, who was standing beside him, nodded and thought it made sense.

"Sir, please tell me!" Duan Rui continued: "As the emperor analyzed, with the emperor's personality, it is time to endure the situation when he can't bear it. Therefore, it is necessary to relay the emperor to Beijing to promise you the benefits of the emperor, so that you can win him over to stand on the emperor's side, and if necessary, you will resort to force to safeguard the imperial power!"

Yuan Shikai nodded and bowed to the north and said, "The emperor summoned Yuan Mounuo Yuan Moumou's assistant minister for three consecutive days, and let our new army escape the control of the Zhili Governor Rong Lu, form an independent army, and be directly responsible to the emperor! It can be said that the emperor's grace is so great!"

Feng Guozhang said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Seeing Yuan Shikai nodding affirmatively, Feng Guozhang said again: "The emperor is also very keen. He knows that only our new army is the strongest in combat power around the capital and is dominated by the Han people, so he is less influenced by the Empress Dowager."

Duan ~ Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it true that Duan dared to ask the emperor about the rumor in the capital that the emperor ordered the emperor to encircle the garden and kill the queen?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Feng Guozhang suddenly glared at Duan~ Rui said, "How dare Zhiquan be so arrogant? If he says such a ruthless word, if it spreads it out? Wouldn't it mean that the Lord and us will be killed by the Nine Clans?"

"Sir!" Duan~ seemed to be careless and stared at Yuan Shikai.

"Hi!"

But after seeing Yuan Shikai sighing, he said, "Hua Fu, don't panic! It's all my brothers here, so how could it be spread?"

Yuan Shikai frowned and thought for a while, and said, "That's right! Although the emperor did not explicitly ask Yuan to kill the empress dowager, his words were full of resentment and his eyes were full of murderous intent! But the emperor's confidant Kang Youwei told Yuan that he asked Yuan to send troops to surround the garden. The emperor's oral order was to kill anyone who resisted! "

hiss!

Feng Guozhang was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were shocked when he looked at both of them!

In Feng Guozhang's opinion, no matter how much Emperor Guangxu said, he could not have the idea of ​​killing Empress Dowager Cixi! Whether in terms of family affection or favor, Empress Dowager Cixi was the benefactor of Emperor Guangxu, how could he take action?

Thinking of Yuan Shikai's attempt to even dare to participate in such a thing? He is really a hero! Little did he know that no matter whether it succeeds or fails, no matter where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu win, Yuan Shikai will be the scapegoat to appease the failure!

Yuan Shikai dared to do such speculation? It really made Feng Guo

Look at each other.

Feng Guozhang was even more surprised. Thinking of this guy who usually teaches artillery skills in the army, how could he know the shocking events in the capital? This analysis was too amazing. Thinking of this Duan Rui always hides his strength and does not tell Yuan Shikai what he said to him, and has reservations, he suddenly became secretly alert to Duan Rui.

Although Feng Guozhang and Duan both graduated from Tianjin Martial Arts School, in the Qing Dynasty, Feng Guozhang had to spend many years earlier than Duan Rui.

In addition to graduating earlier than Duan Rui, Duan Rui went directly to the Berlin Military Academy in Germany after graduation, and then went to the Krupp Arsenal to study artillery production. Therefore, Duan Rui rarely contacted the Qing officialdom.

Feng Guozhang's activities were well concealed. Duan Rui did not show any abnormality and said, "From this perspective, the emperor has made up his mind to attack the empress dowager, which also shows that there is no reconciliation between the emperor and the empress dowager. It is normal for the rumor that the empress dowager will attack the emperor during the Tianjin military parade in October!"

Feng Guozhang asked: "Zhi hasn't made it clear yet, why is the adult's choice correct?"

Duan Rui smiled and said, "After the emperor knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to attack him, it is naturally the most correct to choose Lord Yuan. There is no trustworthy general around the emperor, and most of the generals are the Empress Dowager. Lord Ronglu controls all the troops in the capital, so it is difficult to interfere any longer.

It is completely certain that the adults promised to protect the emperor during the military parade. Because during the military parade, we mainly inspect our new army. Once the new army supports the emperor, we will take the emperor to the military camp. Looking at the Qing Dynasty, who can snatch the emperor away from the emperor's hands besides Zhang Yunfei?"

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Yes, the heroes are the same! Zhiquan said that he was in Yuan's heart!"

Duan~ said hurriedly: "I dare not! I praise you!"

Feng Guozhang suddenly realized: "If this is true, then will the lord have both the achievements of saving the emperor and the efforts of supporting the emperor to rule. Isn't it comparable to the founding heroes?"

Yuan Shikai smiled awkwardly and said, "What did Yuan think? Zhiquan is worthy of being a top student who has returned from studying abroad. Yuan's thoughts cannot escape your analysis!"

Looking at the military field outside the window, Yuan Shikai sighed and said, "What a pity! The devil is one foot taller than the devil is one foot taller! The empress dowager took action in advance, making Yuan lose all his efforts. However, he became a rumor and was able to save his life! I don't know how the court will deal with Yuan?"

As for Yuan Shikai's conspiracy to Emperor Guangxu to kill Cixi, Feng Guozhang and Duan have heard of it, but who is wrong in this kind of thing from ancient times to the present? Only the parties involved know that others can only comment on the final result of the matter and will not ask about the process during the period?

Feng Guozhang said: "Lord Ronglu has returned to Beijing now, and before leaving, he will temporarily handle the affairs of the Governor of Zhili. You should not conceive of you. I believe you will be promoted to the Lord soon!"

Duan~ also said: "Yes! You don't have to worry. Now that the big thing has been decided, the empress dowager has received the re-training she has always dreamed of. Moreover, the court is still employed. Even if you don't get promoted, you will be punished by the adults!"

Yuan Shikai sighed: "You still underestimate the Empress Dowager's greatness. Even I miscalculated this time and almost fell into her hands! Now Ronglu is making me act as the governor of Zhili, and the drunkard's intention is not to drink!"

"Why did you say this? Could it be that there was a conspiracy?" Feng Guozhang asked.

"What do Zhiquan think?" Yuan Shikai did not answer directly, but looked at Duan~rui meaningfully.

Duan ~ Rui shook his head and said he didn't know.

Yuan Shikai said with a little disappointed and a little proud, "Ronglu is so cruel! He is worthy of being an old fox who has been fighting for many years! He did this to make it clear that the emperor and the reformists think that I, Yuan Shikai, betrayed them and hated me to the core, so that I could completely cut off my contact with them and be honest in being a dog slave who once cared for the master! I believe that the empress dowager will definitely tell the emperor now that I, Yuan Shikai, betrayed the emperor!"

hiss!

This time, Feng Guozhang and Duan took a breath of air conditioning unconsciously.

Very poisonous!

Duan ~ Rui sighed: "So that's it. No wonder I asked me to deliberately let Kang Youwei go. If it weren't for the adults, I'm afraid Kang Youwei couldn't live without Tianjin? Now I've been slashed in my head!"

"Hi! Just think that Yuan owes them! After all, many people died in the reformists, and my only hope was not helpful!" Yuan Shikai sighed.

Feng Guozhang shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be made public? I'm afraid no one knows the adult's difficulties? Kang Youwei might think that it was the British who saved him? And the rest of the reformists would not appreciate it!"

That's right!

Yuan Shikai can’t blame society for taking the blame, he is destined to take the blame!
