Chapter 237 Wind and Rain in Gyeonggi (3)

Wang Chenhao's convoy entered from Yongding Gate and left Desheng Gate. He smashed the city gates controlled by Yuan Shikai and Ronglu in succession. With his powerful force, he injured more than 100 soldiers guarding the gates on both sides, and left Beijing City in a swagger and headed straight for the Summer Palace.

Such a huge convoy entered Beijing, and the movement was naturally small. In addition to the city gate incident, Wang Chenhao directly built most of his guard battalion in the inner city and entered Wang Chenhao's official residence. The guard battalion entered the official residence on the grounds of protecting Wang Chenhao. In fact, it inserted a nail in Beijing, which immediately stirred up the current situation and made the current situation even more tense.

Wang Chenhao naturally could not carry the army when he went to the Summer Palace, but he could not relax his vigilance, so he only brought the special operations brigade guards.

It is summer, and the Yihe Kingdom is filled with beautiful landscapes.

This is Wang Chenhao's third visit to the Summer Palace. The first two times were in winter and there was no beautiful scenery. Compared with the Summer Palace in Wang Chenhao's era, the Summer Palace, which was robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, was more magnificent and magnificent.

Wang Chenhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was a pity that this place would give Cixi a pleasure. There was a faint cry in his heart that he would sooner or later become the master of this place.

The person who came to welcome Wang Chenhao was Li Lianying. Li Lianying was able to get him out directly. Even Emperor Guangxu did not have this treatment, which shows how much Cixi valued Wang Chenhao.

"Congratulations to Lord Wang, congratulations to Lord Wang, this time, Lao Fu said that he would reward Lord Wang with great rewards."

Li Lianying had a smile on her face, and she was more attentive to Wang Chenhao. Of course, as a close confidant of Cixi, Li Lianying came to welcome Wang Chenhao, and she couldn't help but momo Wang Chenhao's bottom.

Similarly, Wang Chenhao also wanted to find out what Cixi's bottom line was from Li Lianying. So he said: "I have been flattered by the empress dowager many times, so how can I be insatiable?"

Li Lianying said: "Lord Wang is working hard for the court, so it is natural to receive rewards."

"Shame!" Wang Chenhao smiled and then asked, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager will reward this time? I hope Eunuch Li will give me some advice."

Wang Chenhao deliberately made a look of paying close attention to the promotion of the official position in response to Li Lianying's temptation.

Sure enough, when Li Lianying saw Wang Chenhao's expression and inquiry, she immediately replied with a smile: "I'm not hiding it from Lord Wang, I don't know what Lord Buddha really rewarded him, but according to Old Nu's guess, at least he must be a duke or something."

Wang Chenhao smiled and said, "Eunuch Li's words must be absolutely inseparable!"

Li Lianying quickly became modest, but his expression was already very obvious. Wang Chenhao had already guessed that Cixi gave him at least one duke's title.

However, Wang Chenhao was not very interested in the Xu Tie. According to the suggestions of Wang Shizhen and other staff, Wang Chenhao hoped that he could enter the Military Affairs Office so that he could be qualified as his Minister of Defense and the Governor of Zhili. And only by entering the Military Affairs Office could he truly enter the core of the Qing Empire.

Seeing that Wang Chenhao was a little disappointed, Li Lianying suddenly became nervous and asked hurriedly: "Why, sir, it seems that he is not very satisfied?"

"How could that happen?" Wang Chenhao took the opportunity to say, "I feel that it's too late? The Queen Mother rewarded me with the Duke, and the Emperor also sent someone to let me enter the Military Affairs Office. I just think that so many official titles and positions, how can I be busy alone!"

Li Lianying was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Chenhao wanted to enter the Military Affairs Office. This was a key department, the last authority of the Qing Empire. With Wang Chenhao's current power, it was a matter of entering the Military Affairs Office, but Cixi did not fully trust Wang Chenhao and kept suppressing Wang Chenhao from entering the Military Affairs Office. Li Lianying never thought that Guangxu promised Wang Chenhao to enter the Military Affairs Office in order to fight Cixi, which immediately hit the vital point of Cixi.

Of course. Wang Chenhao was just fooling Li Lianying, but Li Lianying had to believe it.

After Li Lianying's brain was stunned for a while, he immediately said, "Where is the master who is capable? With his status and status today, he should have entered the Military Affairs Office. In fact, the Lord Lafayette also has this meaning."

Wang Chenhao laughed in his heart. Now is the critical moment for the fight between the emperor and the empress, so he is not afraid that Lou Xi will not let go.

"Take it seriously?" Wang Chenhao deliberately expressed a surprise expression and said, "I'll just say that, I'm loyal to the Queen Mother. I believe the emperor's intention was to let me enter the Military Affairs Office."

Li Lianying smiled bitterly in her heart, but she didn't dare to express her slightest expression on her face. She could only forcefully smile and said, "That's it!"

As the ruler of the central government of the Qing Empire, and as the minister of the Qing Empire with the power to decide, the dialogue between the two will become very careful, because a word of contentment may lead to neither side being unable to come to Taiwan without a prior compromise, and the situation is irreversible. Therefore, Li Lianying, as an intermediary between Cixi and Wang Chenhao, shoulders the task of tempting and conveying the meaning of both sides.

Now that Li Lianying found out that Wang Chenhao wanted to join the Military Affairs Office, this had exceeded the bottom line that Cixi gave Li Lianying first, so naturally he had to report to Cixi first.

When he happened to arrive at the pavilion in the lake, Wang Chenhao met Ningxiang Ge Kuangtong and the court emcee Shalina. One had a close relationship with Wang Chenhao and the other was an enemy of Wang Chenhao. The two girls immediately stopped Wang Chenhao and talked, while Li Lianying took the opportunity to let Wang Chenhao talk to the two princes. He himself got out and went to find Cixi and informed Cixi about Wang Chenhao's ideas first, so that Cixi could know what was going on.

In the pavilion in the lake, after Li Lianying left, only Kuangtong and Shalina, as well as a few palace maids who were waiting for the two girls.

It was summer, and the two girls were wearing very thin clothes. Their convex figure and gorgeous palace outfit looked particularly miraculous. After the breeze, they heard a faint fragrance of their daughter, which was refreshing.

Wang Chenhao was planning to keep his eyes on their bodies for a while, but unexpectedly, Shalina was the first to get angry.

"Hey! A stinky hooligan! You are so brave that you dare to come here?"

Wang Chenhao glanced at Shalina and saw her eyes staring at him tightly, as if she was still holding a grudge. However, with Kuang Tong and the palace maid next to him this time, Shalina seemed unable to do anything.

The beauty's angry look also had a unique charm, but Wang Chenhao felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her, so he had to turn his eyes to Qingtong and ignore Shalina.

Looking at Kuang Tong wearing a blue flag costume, her dignified and steady smile calmed down Wang Chenhao.

Kutong pulled Shalina and signaled her not to be rude. She smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang hasn't come to Beijing some time!"

Every time I go to Beijing, I don’t know if it’s by chance or other reasons, but Wang Chenhao is always able to bump into Kui Tong. Every time Kui Tong always has a lot of questions to ask Wang Chenhao to discuss and talk endlessly.

Among the Chinese women, few people have the same insight as Kuang Tong, so Wang Chenhao can talk to her more. It was just because Yi gradually alienated Wang Chenhao and even stood opposite Wang Chenhao, which caused the two to talk and meet many times and were interrupted by Yi.

Since Guangxu and the Reformers carried out reforms, Wang Chenhao has not entered Beijing again. When she saw Kuang Tong again a few months later, she obviously lost a lot of weight.

"The princess has reduced a lot!"

For some reason, Wang Chenhao suddenly answered the question that was not right.

Kuang Tong was stunned at first, then his face was filled with joy and said, "Thank you for your concern!"

Then, Kuangtong and Wang Chenhao talked and laughed. When talking about Yi, Kuangtong's god was a little sad.

Wang Chenhao knew why Kuang Tong was reduced because Yi was about to die soon. Although Wang Chenhao was dissatisfied with Yi's opposition to him, he would not care about him like a dying person, so he persuaded him.

Shalina, who was beside her, was ignored by her as a light bulb, and she was very unhappy.

Kuangtong also knew that the "story" between Shalina and Wang Chenhao would always persuade them to fight each other, but it seemed that there was no effect.

"I said Nana, for my sister's sake, let's go around Lord Wang?"

Shalina glared at Kuangtong with annoyance and snorted: "I value sè over friends!"

As soon as these words were said, Wang Chenhao was happy, but Jiaotong blushed and did not dare to persuade him to fight again.

Then Shalina turned to Wang Chenhao and said, "Honestly let my aunt beat you, otherwise we will not finish it."

Wang Chenhao rolled his eyes. This Shalina was just playing with a childish temper and had to take revenge.

Wang Chenhao said: "After all, I am the dignified governor of Zhili and the Minister of National Defense. If you beat me up, how can I do anything in the future?"

When Shalina heard this, she immediately lowered her face and asked back, "If you want face, do you want face? My aunt is a princess and I have made you molest. If this is spread, how can I do it in the future?"

Wang Chenhao coughed dryly and said with little confidence: "Isn't that a misunderstanding?"

Shalina immediately pinched her waist and stared at her, saying, "Misunderstanding? OK! You asked me to beat you first, and then I also said, what about the misunderstanding?"

Seeing that Wang Chenhao and Shalina had a fight again, Kuotong stepped forward again to persuade the fight. Kuangtong suggested that Wang Chenhao let Shalina beat him and let Shalina show mercy when she took action.

Wang Chenhao had no choice but to let Shalina vent her anger, but she was not allowed to slap her in the face. But Shalina insisted on slapping her in the face and had to slap Wang Chenhao's face into a pig's head.

Every time she came here, Kuang Tong could only shake her head helplessly, and in the end she had no choice.

Just when Wang Chenhao and Shalina were arguing, Li Lianying came to tell Wang Chenhao to see Cixi, and immediately relieved Wang Chenhao of the siege.

The matter between Wang Chenhao and Shalina is no longer a secret, but due to the special identities of Wang Chenhao and Shalina, others dare not say much.

Cixi did not meet Wang Chenhao in the Foxiang Pavilion, but in the Wanshou Hall.

Wang Chenhao has skillfully conveyed his thoughts to Cixi through Li Lianying. Although Cixi was extremely unhappy, the current situation had to rely on Wang Chenhao to support it, so Cixi finally chose to make concessions.

"The Empress Dowager's decree, Wang Chenhao, the king of kings, reformed the currency system and stabilized finance for the court. He rectified the military and promoted overseas. He made great contributions to the court and the country. He made an indelible contribution. He was specially awarded the title of First Class Duke of Yan, and was inherited and promoted to the Han minister of the Military Affairs Department, and rectified the military affairs of the capital."

Li Lianying read out Cixi's decree, Wang Chenhao achieved his goal, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Cixi, saying that the Beiyang Navy and Army obeyed Cixi's orders. He also directly expressed his support for Cixi's regent, which hit Cixi's most nervous problem at once.

Cixi praised Wang Chenhao for winning over and over again, but she knew in her heart that Wang Chenhao's rights had once again expanded uncontrollably. Although Wang Chenhao expressed his loyalty to her, Cixi understood that she was drinking poison to quench her thirst. Wang Chenhao's power was already too great. Cixi only asked Wang Chenhao not to rebel openly. After completely abolishing Guangxu, Cixi could turn her energy to the other party Wang Chenhao. Before this, Cixi could only be with Wang Chenhao for silence.

Cixi was in a bad mood, so she said a few words to Wang Chenhao and asked Wang Chenhao to retreat.
