Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Although this way of dealing with the problem expressed Guangxu's determination and urgency to reform, it also clearly exposed his sloppy and reckless handling of affairs.After all, if the name is not correct, it is not smooth, how can you command those first-rank and second-rank ministers with a mere fourth-rank?

The veterans of the imperial court were dissatisfied immediately. They ran to the Summer Palace and cried to the Queen Mother, asking Cixi to come out of the mountain again and clean up Guangxu, a child who was becoming more and more ignorant.

Guangxu's sixth sense is relatively strong, which means that his nerves are relatively sharp. As the saying goes, he is suspicious all day long, but this time he guessed it right. He always feels that Cixi is getting more and more disliked by him now. There are even more rumors in China, abolishing him, destroying him, destroying humanity, and so on.

Guangxu was in a lonely and precarious situation, so he was in a mess immediately, and went to the doctor in a hurry. On the one hand, he asked for help from the reformers. Thinking of Ye Zhikui, who is both wise and brave, and extremely loyal.

Guangxu's confused mind finally thought of a clever plan.

Ye Zhikui's wedding is coming soon, Guangxu, as a good boss, how can he get less rewards, so he thought of writing a secret edict and hiding it among the rewards, and then pass it to Ye Zhikui without anyone knowing, let Ye Zhikui wait for the opportunity to rescue him.

Guangxu thought for a moment, what should I write? It can't be too obvious, otherwise if it is exposed, everyone will be ruined, and it can't be too secretive. What if Ye Zhikui is not good at stereotyped literature and can't understand it.

So Guangxu wrote: "The current situation is difficult, and China cannot be saved without reforms. It is impossible to reform the old and absurd ministers and use wise and brave men."But the queen mother didn't take it seriously, and repeated admonitions, which made the queen mother even more angry.Brother Sharp's status is hardly guaranteed today.You can make arrangements quickly and try to save each other.Brother Xili was very anxious, beyond expectation.

After Guangxu finished writing, he breathed a sigh of relief, so that he would not be afraid that Ye Zhikui would think that this secret edict was forged.

Guangxu carefully let his confidant eunuch hide and reward gifts, and then these gifts were slowly sent out of the palace and sent to Tianjin, with Brother Sharp's urgent mood.

In the Jinan Shandong Tifa Envoy's White Mansion, Bai Weiwei, the big reporter, was sitting listlessly in her boudoir with her chin resting on her chin. Her eyes were focused out of the window, and on the table in front of her was a copy of 'National Blessing General Ye Zhikui'. Marriage Imminent' newspaper.

According to Guangxu's new decree, changing the procuratorial envoy to the tifa envoy is just a change of name. The tifa envoy is still the highest chief justice in the province, a third-rank official, and is responsible for managing the judicial administrative affairs of the province. And supervise all levels of trial halls, inspection halls and prisons.

I don't know how many sons and lords in Shandong want to get involved in the marriage of the White Mansion, and those who came to the White Mansion to propose marriage almost broke through the threshold of the front door.No wonder Master Bai sent away another matchmaker. He felt that the family who came to propose marriage today was a good one, and he was from a scholarly family.

But during the day Nan only had a daughter like Bai Weiwei, and he usually doted on her, and this time it was no different. Although he himself thought it was really good, he still came to ask Bai Weiwei for her opinion.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the newspaper on the table, and couldn't help but secretly smiled. It seemed that his daughter had grown up and started to pay attention to the matter of marriage, but Ye Zhikui got married, should he give a gift?Anyway, I heard that he saved his daughter last time.

Bai Weiwei still frowned and pursed her lips, not aware of Bai Nan who entered the door.

Seeing this during the day, Nan could only cough aloud, and then said with some heartache: "Daughter, you used to run around outside, and Dad blamed you for fear of accidents; but like you recently, you don't even have a boudoir. Come out, Dad is even more worried! If there is anything, don't hold it in your heart, tell Dad."

During the day, Nan understood her daughter's thoughts, and thought that Bai Weiwei had caused some trouble, so she dared not go out.

Bai Weiwei came back to her senses, and replied weakly: "Father, I'm fine, I just don't want to go to the newspaper office."

"That's good. I think you're about to quit your job in the newspaper office. Are you still afraid that your father won't be able to support you? By the way, dear daughter, someone came to my White Mansion to propose a marriage today. This time it's Chengnan He Young Master, how is it? You are not satisfied." Bai Tiannan took the opportunity to express his feelings.

Bai Weiwei said in a drawn-out voice with some annoyance: "Father..., didn't they say that they don't want to marry, so you can let your daughter stay with you for the rest of your life."

Bai Bainan was happy when he heard that, but he still sighed heavily and said, "Weiwei, it's not that your father is forcing you, but that you are not too young, so why don't you hurry up and find a husband's house now, or it will be hard to find in the future, you Mother died early, and you have been sensible since childhood, why didn't you listen to your father just this time?"

Bai Weiwei turned her head, pretending to be angry and said: "Anyway, my daughter just won't marry, or you can give me to someone else."

"Oh, okay, okay, dad won't persuade you anymore, look at General Ye, marrying the two at once, it's really a good day to get married recently." Bai Bainan said, pointing to the newspaper with a sigh.

Before Bai Tian finished speaking Nanhua, there was a slap, and a drop of tear fell on the newspaper, soaking the handwriting. He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that his daughter had already shed a string of crystal clear tears .

Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Capital Chapter [-] Seven The Wedding that Everyone Expected

"Vivi, what's wrong with you?"

During the day, Nan saw that his daughter was crying suddenly, and asked out loudly full of worry, but he thought to himself: Could it be that my daughter has something to do with this Zhili admiral Ye Zhikui.

Bai Weiwei wiped away her tears with some regret, forced a smile, pretended to be relaxed, and said, "Dad, what can my daughter do? It's just that I suddenly sighed and felt sad for a while. Daddy, go out and let Weiwei alone People stay."

Bai Tiannan knew his daughter well, and knew that Bai Weiwei was stubborn and stubborn, and if she didn't want to say anything, it would be useless to ask, so she pretended to be indifferent, but said pointedly: "Weiwei, it's good to be fine, You are the apple of your eye, even if Ye Zhikui, the admiral of Zhili, bullies you, tell your father that even if he pulls off this old face, he will seek justice for you."

Sure enough, Bai Weiwei's eyelids twitched slightly, but she didn't speak, so Tian Nan had no choice but to leave the room.

In the afternoon, Nie Shicheng was in a hurry to deal with government affairs at the supervisory office. Due to the war, he had left behind a lot of things.

However, when he saw the official telegram of the imperial court dispatching Wu Yijun to his name to assist Shandong in suppressing bandits and drill the Shandong new army, Nie Shicheng still couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the imperial court has already begun to take precautions against Congyun.

"Lord Governor, Lord Bai is asking to see you outside the door." An official from the Governor's Office came in and reported, interrupting Nie Shicheng's reverie.

Nie Shicheng put down the official documents, calmed himself down, nodded and said, "please come in quickly."

Soon Baitian Nan came in and took a seat. Seeing the pile of official documents and the tired governor next to him, Bai Tiannan had to say that he was a good governor.

He still has admiration for this old General Nie who just took office, and secretly admires him. Not to mention Nie Shicheng's great achievements in North Korea, but he said that after the incident of the German religious incident, Nie Shicheng also dealt with it in a timely manner and did not give foreigners the slightest excuse. , Afterwards, with a tough attitude, he rejected Germany's unreasonable demands, released innocent people, defeated the German army, and won the unanimous appreciation of Shandong.

Nie Shicheng thought that Bai Tiannan had some business to discuss with him, but after waiting for a long time, Bai Bainan said embarrassedly: "Mr. Nie, my daughter's willful behavior in Jiaozhou this time is thanks to your secret care. The officer is very grateful, and I am here to thank you.”

Nie Shicheng smiled peacefully when he heard the words, knowing that Tiantianan had something to say, and said: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about! Besides, Weiwei is a sensible and well-behaved child, and the old man also likes it very much."

During the day, Old Nan blushed slightly, unable to conceal the worry on his face, and continued: "But since the young girl returned to Jinan, she has been depressed, and she is getting thinner and thinner. The next official is very worried. Ask her The reason is that he refuses to say anything to me as a father, thinking about it, there must be some unpleasant things happened in Jiaozhou, if Mr. Nie knows, please tell the truth."

It seems that Bai Weiwei loves Bai Weiwei very much, and he is willing to put down his old face to ask his boss about these personal matters.

Nie Shicheng was silent after hearing this, of course he knew about it clearly, but he just didn't know whether he should tell Bai Nan or not.

Without thinking about it for long, Nie Shicheng still felt that it would be better to tell the truth, as for how to solve it, let him have a headache during the day.

Nie Shicheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's just some children's affair. In my opinion, niece Bai may fall in love with nephew Cong Yun and suffer from lovesickness. , but the effect is unknown, and now it seems that it has no effect."

What!Lovesickness, Bai Tiannan was stunned, but seeing his daughter not thinking about food and drink, doing nothing all day long, it really is lovesickness if it goes on like this.

During the day, Nan leaned forward a little, and asked in an eager tone: "Is this really the case? Why didn't I, the father, hear anything about it!"

Nie Shicheng cursed secretly, you are a father who is busy all day long, and Bai Weiwei will not take the initiative to tell you, you know what the hell, but she still nodded in affirmation.

Seeing this, Nan Bai sighed and said, "What should I do? Ye Zhikui is getting married soon, and he is marrying two at the same time. It's not like the little girl has no chance."

Nie Shicheng was surprised, this day Nan didn't want to persuade his daughter, but thought about how to marry his daughter to Ye Zhikui, how pitiful the world's parents are.

Seeing Nie Shicheng's surprised and funny face during the day, Nan realized that he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Nie, you don't know the temperament of a little girl. This little girl has a very stubborn temper. Once you make a decision, it is very difficult to turn around." , so the officer can only say this.”

Nie Shicheng heard it interesting, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Like a father, like a daughter, Tiannan, do you still dare to confront this old man and refuse to give in?"

What Nie Shicheng was saying was that Bai Nan insisted on some official matters, even if he was the governor, he would not back down.

Bai Bainan said proudly: "That is, can my Bai's daughter be poor?"

But thinking of Bai Weiwei's current state, her complexion sank again, and she asked, "Old Nie, you have to give me a trick. You have a very close personal relationship with Ye Zhikui, so there must be a way, right?"

Nie Shicheng jokingly said calmly: "It depends on how you think about Tiannan. In my opinion, they are concubines who want to break up. If you want to break them up, I just need to ask Congyun to write a letter of severance." But, I can't guarantee how your daughter will react, if you are willing, I have a way."

"Old Nie, Lord Governor, you should stop being a poor official and tell me quickly." Thinking of his daughter's half-dead appearance, Bai Bainan felt that it was not reliable to break up. Find a place to cry.

Nie Shicheng brushed his beard and said calmly: "Since Tiannan said so, I have no choice but to fulfill it. Fortunately, this kid from Congyun understands it very well. It is really good. Soon, Shandong Wuyi Army will send hydrogen balloons back to Tianjin. At that time, you can ask Ling Ai to follow, so that these young people's affairs will be handled by themselves, no matter what the result is, I believe Weiwei will not blame you."

Nie Shicheng still decided to help Ye Zhikui. Bai Tiannan is talented, and as the number two person in Shandong, if he can marry the Baifu, he will have all the military and political power in Shandong, which will help a lot in major affairs.

Nie Shicheng is upright and resolute, and he will not be double-faced. From the moment he did not report to the court, he has given up his heart to work with Ye Zhikui, and what Ye Zhikui said is not unreasonable. Let the nation do its last.

Not to mention that Nie Shicheng and Bai Bainan conspired secretly to help Bai Weiwei, but it is said that in Tianjin Lu Zutang, the leaders of the Yihe regiment after many days of quarreling, finally came up with a more reliable military regulation, the content of which is nothing more than some unreasonable Random rape and looting, indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the like.
