According to the prior arrangement, the fleet went directly north and turned to the Taiwan Strait waterway, and on the Shanghai Port. In order to see the grand scene of Jiangnan today, and to compete for the Jiangsu Fuxue Administration. This matter has been going on for half a year, and it has a great negative effect on the development of education in Jiangsu. Therefore, either Lu Chuanlin should be transferred or Qu Hong will be transferred. These two people should not be able to work together. Two, Liang Qichao and three Jiangnan prescription team, after half a year of investigation, published their identities in the official inquiry nearly a month later, and there was a final conclusion waiting for imperial review. This kind of high-level officials will be transferred, with the youth and qualifications of Liang Qichao and three, it will be difficult to complete. If something happens, it may cause other understandings to the outside world, and it will not be able to achieve the warning of the administration and encourage the new education.

Therefore, as soon as I landed in Shanghai, I stationed in the Shanghai Daoyamen. The three battalions of officers and soldiers who came from the sea arrived in charge of customs defense. After meeting with the Governor of Liangjiang Liu Kunyi and Nie Jiwei of Shanghai Dao, I asked them to ensure the stability and sustainable development of Jiangsu Province and Shanghai, and informed them that the court would make changes in the personnel arrangements in Jiangsu. There are two key points: one is that the new education should be adhered to and strengthened, and the second is that the administration should be clarified. Shaanxi is a model in military and political affairs, and Jiangsu should play an exemplary role in civil affairs. This time, the candidates are very politically foreshadowed. I believe that sensitive political circles can definitely smell something from it.

I have arranged Nie Ji-hyun's promotion. He is Zeng Guofan's youngest son-in-law, forty-two years old. He was also an important figure in the Westernization School in his early years. He was responsible for building steamships in Shanghai. After serving as the Shanghai Daotai in recent years, he has had more experience in managing Shanghai, a mixed place in China and the barbarians. In recent years, Shanghai has been able to maintain a prosperous momentum in recent years, and there are no major public security incidents and foreign-related incidents, which proves that this person has some experience in regulating the integration of different ethnic customs and promoting local economic development. This interview with him also confirmed this point. Although there have always been rumors that he is not clean, he has no evidence to investigate, so I don't care much about it. First, this issue is not the focus of my current political work, second,

There are rumors about him, and the largest amount is only 54,000 taels of silver. Therefore, it is temporarily promoted. When the country shifts its political work focus to the administration in the future, it will turn around and punish a group of officials with the attitude of killing monkeys and giving chickens, and cooperate with the improvement of the system to control this problem. This problem is really a difficult problem. It seems that this phenomenon is inevitable in the rise period of every country. It is almost impossible to demand that a country with low basic population quality reach the state of integrity as water. This has little relationship with the system. The system is not omnipotent, just as the so-called democratic system cannot bring benefits to each country. Pan-democracy is equivalent to chaos for a huge country like China.

While thinking about the matter, I met officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. When it was almost night, I heard that Liang Qichao and the other two came in and summarized the half-year summary of this trip to Jiangsu. The file was two feet thick, and recorded the results of the undercover investigation, the records of the questioning of various officials after Jiangning Mansion revealed his identity, as well as the self-debate of Lu Qu, the circumstance of local officials at Jiangsu Province, etc., in total, I guess I have to go back to Beijing and keep my hands on the papers before I can roughly understand.

Fortunately, there were three people who signed the brief summary of the Jiangnan tour drafted by Liang Qichao at the beginning of the volume, which showed the attitude of the three people and explained the general part of the matter. Lu Chuanlin was a man who was the subordinate of his department. When controlling education funds, he did not notice Qu Hongji's signature trick, which caused a million taels of silver. In fact, all the money was spent on the new school, and the records of the vassal treasury also confirmed this point. Lu Chuanlin was not good at it, and he always advocated food, clothing and expenses.

The luxury, and the money relationship with some gentry in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was not so clean, Tan Sitong found out that he took advantage of his concubine's birthday to receive 500 taels of gold from Yangzhou landlord Shan. In addition, there are records to prove that he used his official relationship. Later, the post road under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Logistics transported to Jiangnan and other tonics from Liaodong for his own consumption. Although he later proved that this was the supplement he needed for his weak body and weak Qi, such an official image did make people attack him with a verbal and aphrodisiac.

It is true that his family has money, but it has caused trouble for him so much that he is not aware of the inspection. The results of the secret inquiry from officials from Jiangsu Province also show that officials in the province support him and those who support Qu Hongji are close to 6 to 4. It can be seen that his official voice was greatly affected after this battle for school comfort. And 40% of officials support Qu Hongji, which also shows that the old-fashioned ideas of the old school still have a large market in such an open-minded place in Jiangsu.

When I closed the file, I noticed that the three of them were already tired. After asking, I realized that they had been standing for half an hour. I gently pushed the file aside and ordered someone to show them the seat. I stood up and stretched my arms, walked to the front of the three of them and said, "You have been in Jiangsu for half a year, and I have worked hard, but according to my opinion, you have not yet proposed any suggestions? I want to hear your opinion first?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, the governor was from the second rank, and the academic envoy was promoted from the academic political reform in the 21st year of Guangxu. It was still the third rank. The three of us had the highest rank and were the ministers and Cen Chunxuan, who were the fourth rank, and Tan Sitong was the chief of the fifth rank. " Liang Qichao looked up at me and replied tiredly: "Although he had added the title of the imperial envoy, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial envoy had no right to deal with the officials of the third rank and above rank. Therefore, the ministers did not dare to comment on it, and everything was still to be verified by the emperor."

I nodded and sighed silently, "Well, you are very cautious. Alas, I am also very tricky. Hey, one official voice is good, the other official voice is bad. It seems easy to handle, but I don't know what to do. Qu Hongji is so skilled, well-founded, and seems very reasonable. Do you know why I can't make the determination to praise him? Tan Sitong, you have a life in the Qing government office, and I want to hear you."

Tan Sitong is the one I value the most among the six gentlemen in the Reformation of the Reformation of 1898. Last year, I specially pulled him into the third grade. I also had a private discussion and had great expectations for him. So today I also cultivated his intention. Today, he was wearing a fifth-rank civil servant with white squid clothes. His young face was straight, and he bowed to me and bowed to me and said, "Reply to the emperor's words, the emperor's holy heart is arbitrary. Since I have asked questions, I personally think that the emperor does not take his words and deeds. Although it is reasonable, it cannot be clear about his actions. If all officials in the world follow the example, then Your Majesty's new policy will not be implemented."

I nodded, showed him encouragement with my eyes, and asked again: "That's right, what about Lu Chuanlin?"

"As for Lu Fu, I am taking his heart but not his actions." Tan Sitong hesitated for a moment: "This person has a heart for handling the new policy, but his actions are not rude and he can't do good things. Instead, it makes people misunderstand what he does and misleads the emperor's major affairs."

It's good to be correct. I haven't thought of this level before. Using mediocre talents to do the right thing may have a bad impact on the matter itself. Looking at Tan Sitong, I was worried that he was young and energetic, and was determined to create some big cases to gain reputation for himself. At this moment, this guy seemed much more mature than I thought. I nodded and continued: "What I said is that since I took power, I have implemented the new policy, and the results of the world are also visible to all, but some people always have to divide the world's teachings into new and old learning, middle school.

This is why there is such a thing in Western learning. In Jiangsu. According to my opinion, if the so-called new learning is useless, it is also old learning. If the old learning can strengthen the country, then it is also new learning. Why do we have to force the new and old? The court must understand this principle clearly, otherwise the world will be in chaos. Jiangsu is considered the first province to lead the trend, let alone other things? As for the dispute over learning, I see that one is not aware of the scrutiny, and the other is determined to be an enemy of the learning of a strong country, but this person is also a good official!"

After thinking about it, he saw that Cen Chunxuan seemed to have something to say, so he stopped and asked Cen Chunxuan, "You are from your father and a family. Why do you want to be transferred to the Qing government office? This time, Jiangnan has some experience?" He looked at Tan Sitong again and said, "I have high hopes for you two. Liu Guangdi's shoulders are too heavy, and I also pity him for his hard work. People under forty years old look like they were sixty years old. The Qing Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years. The accumulated problems are to be removed one by one. It may not be enough to exhaust one Liu Guangdi to death, and it is not a good thing. You two, I plan to choose one to take over the Qing government office. I was afraid that you were in the New Year.

It is light and rough, so I have the experience of Jiangnan. I don’t say that I know how hard it is. When the Qing Dynasty is doing business, it has taken foreigners for decades. I will catch up in this court, so I am tired. Administration is a great question. If the people who work hard, I will be afraid of scanning a large area. It’s too chilly. I am also worried that if I continue to accumulate this kind of habit, I will probably be in trouble in the future. Official salary, people’s wealth, and even if I use money on military supplies, I will have some thoughts on every tael of silver. It’s so late today, I ask you to come because of this problem. Cen Chunxuan, according to you, how should I handle this matter?"

"The emperor said, this is not an easy job to do. I chose me to do it. It is your Majesty's love. The emperor, my father has a lot of respect, and I can also live in Taichang Temple. However, the country is revived. How dare I live a life of drunkenness and dreams? Your Majesty is worried about the administration of the government. I also see that the corrupt officials will eventually hurt the country's foundation in the future, so I am willing to be the front pawn of your Majesty." Cen Chunxuan's other half flattered him. He answered the question of why he wanted to be transferred to the Qing government office. He bowed and bowed, "

The emperor, I have experienced Jiangnan this time and felt that the administration of officials is probably even more serious than the emperor expected. Jiangnan is rich, and officials often collude with gentry. In recent years, the country has been peaceful, land annexation is becoming increasingly serious, and the common people are weak, and the officials usually have to help the gentry. This will easily arouse civil rebellion. Fortunately, the emperor has given a kind decree and moved the poor people to the East China Sea. This is a little relieved. But in the long run, something will happen sooner or later. In the land of Jiangnan, there will be a mixture of Chinese and barbarians. If someone is interested in colluding with foreign barbarians and bewitching the people, an accident will be a big deal!"

Seeing that my face changed color when I said this, Cen Chunxuan also changed his tone, and changed from excited to a deep tone, "It's not that my subordinates were exaggerating, but it was really the private visit to Lu Chuanlin. It was the Shan family in Yangzhou who should have colluded with the Yangzhou local gentry, annexed more than 700 mu of land, and sold 371 mu of official land at Shan, totaling 1,000 mu of two items! Fortunately, the way out of Yangzhou is not only on the land, but if it is replaced in Henan, Shaanxi and other places, there must be a big trouble." As he said, he slowed down and said, "It is also this time that Qu Hongji and Lu Chuanlin had a rift, which led to the later dispute over the education and political affairs. Qu's official voice was very good, and he had a folk comment on asking for orders for the people. I went privately and heard it. Therefore, if the emperor asked me for my opinion, I would remove Lu Chuanlin and Qu Hongji!"

These words were spoken loudly, and I couldn't help but look at him with admiration. My previous words meant that I didn't plan to deal with either Lu Chuanlin or Qu Hongji. I already had the tone in front of me. He dared to ask for punishment for Lu Chuanlin so bluntly, and he was also a straightforward minister. I looked at him with great interest and said, "Since Qu has a good official, why should I investigate and deal with Lu?"

"Reply to the emperor." Cen Chunxuan bowed and said, "How righteous is he doing and how evil is his character? Not to mention that he was instructed by others behind his back, he secretly stumbling over his superiors and colleagues, as he acted in his lower position, and the governor and governor were all in his situation. Who dares to work with such a person in the future?" He looked at me and hesitated, "If he is naturally jealous of evil, then that's fine, but he was ordered by Weng, who was the so-called leader of the Jiangnan Shilin, who was given gold and released to his home, to interfere with the political situation of Jiangsu and interfere with the missionary of the scholars of the application of the scholars of the scholars of the application of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the scholars of the court? Are he a scholars of the scholars of the Weng family alone? Please observe clearly!"

The last two questions are really good! I can tolerate political struggles. People have political opinions, but bringing political opinions to work and stumbling on bosses and colleagues with different political opinions is indeed useless. There is also Weng, who is old but not dead, is called a demon, and is idle at home and still contradicts the court, and has some resistance to the new policy and instructs former disciples to interfere with the new policy. This is a crime! But I can't punish these two false Taoist scholars. What should I do? Let's put it aside, hurt people's hearts, keep him or even promote him, and hurt other people's hearts. It seems that it is time to completely solve this problem. Otherwise, this political struggle will inevitably affect the whole country in the future.

After thinking about it, Cen Chunxuan's position was very clear, and both of them had to do it strictly. Although Liang Qichao didn't speak, judging from his performance when Tan Sitong spoke, the two looked a little bit more like Lu Chuanlin. It can also be seen that the three of them have different personalities. Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong seem to be destined to have a firm relationship. Liang Qichao followed me for a long time and probably knew what I was doing in my mind. Cen Chunxuan couldn't figure out the best. Although my previous words could reveal one or two, I asked it right temporarily, and probably he wanted to be straightforward, so he still said it according to his previous thoughts.

Strictly speaking, the ideas of these three people make sense. Tan Sitong thought of the employment of the new policy, and Cen Chunxuan thought of the issue of national stability. Now the civilian reform in Ganzhou and Shaanxi has not yet subsided, and the military reform is also underway. Both aspects need urgent guarantees, so I cannot be careless in any aspect. It is a bad debt.

After looking through the files again, he sat down and greeted the three of them and said, "Okay, let's stop here today's political discussion, you three will accompany me to have a meal."

The three of them looked up at me in surprise and hesitated. I smiled and said, "You always have to have a meal. You have been waiting outside. I probably didn't eat. I have met the ministers until now. I know your thoughts, I'm afraid I want me to express my opinion. I know that I don't want to be serious about these two people. But I don't want to pay attention to Qingzheng anymore. No, this is the top priority. I Cen Chunxuan, the Qingzheng yamen, still have to take it forward. You are passionate, but you have to think more about things. But I

You still have to rely on your spirit of adventure. You are a family, not a timid person. This is what I am happy about. Alas, since I took power, the leading Prince Qing, Xuchang, Minister of the Interior Affairs Office, and Li Lianying, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, have been punished by me personally. These monkeys are not big, right? But these chickens in the world have not been awakened. Hey, Liang Qichao drafted an order. From now on, the young minister of Taichang Temple, Cen Chunxuan, will be awarded the title of Minister of the Qing government office and will be awarded the title of Minister of the Shangshu. Liu Guangdi was dismissed from being a member of the Qing government office and a post in the Dali Temple."

Looking at Tan Sitong, he said, "Tan Sitong, the head of the Ministry of Justice, came to Jin Dali Temple and was awarded the title of Zhengqing. As for you, Liang Qichao, please do not walk with you, and then plan to build the Royal Society Research Office after you arrive in Beijing."

All three of them were shocked. The first two were suddenly promoted to the official title, and they were more happy than to be surprised. At the same time, they shouldered heavy responsibilities and were deeply grateful and responsibilities. They knelt on the ground and thanked him without mentioning it. Liang Qichao was in panic. I saw the confusion on his face and smiled and comforted him: "You don't know what this social research office is, right? Secondly, I don't let you follow you. I don't think you are bad, but you have more uses. Follow me and betray your talents. Hey--" He walked towards the dining room and signaled the eunuch to add three more tableware, so that the three of them followed: "I think that old people like Master Weng and people like Qu Hongji must have a place to do government affairs consulting. These people are talented and there are also

The heart can help my decisions. Well, let you go because you can convince people and be close to my thoughts. What should the country pay attention to? These people can often make suggestions. You can collect them and report them to me to prevent me from harsh policies in the future." He smiled and said, "Although this is called a yamen, it is actually not a rank, so there is no distinction between rank and rank. It is better to follow the original rank, but you should be the main one. Therefore, you will join the cabinet to walk. Zhuoru, I hope you will make more contributions to literary affairs. I know this is a leisurely task, and I am afraid that there will be grievances in my heart. Therefore, you must attend the discussions in the cabinet. I have a deep meaning this time. Don't feel grievances."

Liang Qichao's face did not change at all, and he expressed his gratitude calmly: "The emperor despises his ministers. Not to mention that thunder and rain are all kindnesses of the king. The job that the emperor said is also very promising. According to my opinion, this position can be supplemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture."

"Oh? Have new insights?" I sat down and greeted them, "Sit down and talk. I don't care about food or talk. You can do it yourself. If you don't want to say it, just eat with your head." Seeing that I was discussing matters with the ministers, the kitchen naturally sat according to the portions that were reserved for the meal. Millet soup with char siu, fine noodles and crab roe buns, a mixed spice, a pickled pepper wind claw, sweet pastries, etc., is considered a local late-night snack in Shanghai.

The three of them sat down with some restraints in turn. Liang Qichao continued: "The Ministry of Education and Education seems to be facing the common people directly, and it is difficult to take into account the old scholars. The old scholars complained but had no place to speak, and the court could not always give the orders to resolve the grace. There must be a place to go. Besides, the elders also have some considerations about the country. I think collecting them can also help the emperor's decision-making."

"Well—" I ate a slice of char siu and said with a smile: "Zhuo Ru will never be a good minister who I don't have to worry about. By the way, the marriage with the old Li family has been signed up, right? When will the marriage be finished? I will give you a couplet. I will report it to me when I have a boy. I will give you a name."

Speaking of Taoist erotic business, this meal is really good. It is inconvenient to eat on board, and foreigners are not used to eating it. This authentic Jiangnan snack is the most suitable for the stomach and intestines. After a beautiful meal, the day was over very tired.

While I was having dinner, the camp of the Linxia County Anti-Fu Qin Clan, just 224 miles from the bandit nest in Xunhua was also using dinner. The large transport airships transported from Xi'an and the fresh fruits and vegetables were swept away. The soldiers who used to fight in the northwest lacked vegetables and had the old disadvantages of night blindness. The soldiers also changed the past situation of being unrestrained and unfamiliar with morale in the past and the terrain was unfamiliar. At present, the 180,000 troops have surrounded Xunhua City to almost be infiltrated. Seeing that it was a pattern of making dumplings, the soldiers were also looking forward to the general attack of General Xu Shichang.

Two hundred and twenty-four miles away from this encirclement is the main base for the uprising of Hui and Salar people. The former county seat in the center of the city has long been completely destroyed. The two key points now are the Qingshui Mosque, located in Hedong Village, the Qingshui Riverside Riverside, which winds through the county. The mosque built in the Ming Dynasty has become the core of the old religion. Han Nuri led 70,000 old church members to gather here. The Jiezi Mosque, the Salar ancestral temple west of the old county, was the new church leader led by Ma Kuangkuang, and more than 70,000 people reunited.
Chapter completed!
