Red Alert 1895

Chapter 183: change face

On the second day after Cixi launched the mutiny, Wang Guorui also began to openly electrify, and then expressed his opinion.

"The country is in trouble, and the emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong. He favors the women in the palace and listens to the words of the empress. Listen to the government behind the curtain, just in case something happens!"

Wang Guorui expressed his own opinion in just a few short words. And Wang Guorui never mentioned any reform and reform, and never mentioned his own political stance. He just stated that he wanted to ask Empress Dowager Cixi to come out and listen to politics again behind the curtain. Listening to politics behind a curtain is just an administrative means, and does not represent a certain political position. Since ancient times, there have been many people listening to politics behind a curtain, so it is not surprising. But Wang Guorui took the initiative to play down his support for Cixi, but only said that Guangxu listened to the words of the concubine's demon girl, so he was suspected of being meddling in politics, so he asked the empress dowager to come out to preside over the overall situation and listen to politics behind the curtain. And this is to put all the responsibility on Guangxu's concubine, which seems to have nothing to do with his political stance.

"Extraordinary, the governor of Taiwan, Wang Guorui, supports the queen mother to listen to politics behind the curtain!" "Taiwan's governor, Wang Guorui, supports the queen mother to listen to politics behind the curtain." "Extraordinary, the queen mother announced the disposal of the emperor and concubines to prevent the empress from interfering with politics."…

A lot of newspapers began to publish the news that Wang Guorui supported Cixi to listen to the government behind the curtain again, which immediately made many scholars feel that the sky was falling. Because they originally thought that the governor of Taiwan, Guo Rui, would be able to take the initiative to send troops to serve the king. Then regain power for the emperor. In this way, those who support the reform party will not have any guilt, but they are all heroes. But now their only savior, Wang Guorui, had given up on them, which really made them feel hopeless.

"Wang Guorui, you bastard, the smell of ink in the newspaper you supported the emperor's reform a few months ago has not completely dissipated, yet you actually betrayed the emperor!" Liang Qichao looked at the newspaper and began to curse at the sky.

Since Liang Qichao launched the mutiny yesterday, he was not with everyone, but went to visit friends alone. But it also allowed him to escape a catastrophe, and this time really made him feel lucky. And then he was under the protection of those Reform Party people. I came to the foreign legation in Dongjiaomin Lane to ask for asylum. And now the Manchu Qing government can't do anything, after all, they can't rush into the legation to arrest Liang Qichao, can they? So although Liang Qichao, the backbone member, ran away. But they can only comfort themselves, anyway, most of those people have already been arrested, so it doesn't matter anymore.

But Liang Qichao saw that Wang Guorui publicly supported the Empress Dowager Cixi to come out to preside over the overall situation and listen to the government behind the curtain. This was like a thunderbolt! You must know that before, he was thinking that if Wang Guorui could take the initiative to send troops. Rescuing the emperor would allow them to regain victory. And he thought Wang Guorui would do this. After all, his master Kang Youwei was Wang Guorui's father-in-law, and Kang Tongwei was his junior sister, so he thought Wang Guorui should be able to send troops to rescue them.

But he did not expect that Wang Guorui had "betrayed" their Reform Party and chose to cooperate with the Empress Dowager Cixi. Specifically, Liang Qichao didn't know what kind of dirty deal was going on here. He just wanted to ask Wang Guorui now. What good things did the Empress Dowager Cixi give him to make him betray the Reform Party and join the Empress Dowager Cixi?

When it was evening, many newspapers published the news again.

"Extraordinary and extra. Governors from all over the country began to support the Queen Mother to take charge of the overall situation and listen to politics behind the curtain." "Governors from all over the country support the Queen Mother to preside over the overall situation and listen to politics behind the curtain!" "The Queen Mother is ready to listen to politics behind the curtain!"…

When Wang Guorui supported the Empress Dowager Cixi, the governors from all over the country knew that they should speak out. After all, although the current nine governors in China are the governors of Zhili who rank first in strength in name, they are actually the most powerful in terms of military strength. The newly established governor of Taiwan is the most powerful. And Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, has publicly supported the Queen Mother. Then these other governors had no scruples and began to support the Queen Mother directly. After all, although some of them support reform. But they don't support such rapid and drastic reforms. They want reforms that don't affect their interests. This is a good reform. But Guangxu's reform has seriously touched their interests, which is tantamount to making them completely stop supporting Guangxu. Now that Cixi is in their interests, they will choose to support it regardless of the ancestral precept that the harem should not interfere in politics. After all, they are a bunch of politicians without integrity, and whether those harem interfere in politics depends on their mouths. If it is beneficial to them, it is not the harem interfering in politics. If it is not beneficial to them, they will just spit one after another. Anyway, if it is not in their interests, they will just spray it vigorously.

"Hmph, a bunch of villains!" Liang Qichao cursed.

And Liang Qichao immediately began to write furiously, preparing to criticize these guys severely. And Liang Qichao quickly wrote a manuscript, and then sent it to the editorial offices of the newspapers and periodicals of the reformists in the concession, and then began to prepare to write some satirical words about Wang Guorui.

"China has been a multi-talented country since ancient times, and every region has its own literature and art. Sichuan has a unique drama called Changing Faces..."

Everyone began to read Liang Qichao's articles, and everyone felt very strange. Why did Liang Qichao start introducing drama? Especially Sichuan's face-changing drama is not a well-known drama genre. It is much less famous than Qinqiang Huiju, so everyone doesn't know why Liang Qichao actually started to introduce a small local drama in Sichuan. But since Liang Qichao wrote the article, many people still gave him face. Because Liang Qichao's reputation is not too small, everyone also watched it.

"According to my research, although Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, is from Fujian, his ancestors came from the Sichuan and Shu areas. And his ancestors were an actor who specialized in face-changing, specializing in changing faces for people's entertainment. And in contemporary times, Wang Guorui also They are all well versed in this way, turning faces is faster than turning books..."

And everyone finally smelled it. This Liang Qichao was also scolding Wang Guorui, mocking him for being from Sichuan, and for performing the stunt of changing faces. Liang Qichao scolded Wang Guorui for turning his face faster than turning a book. He forgot what he had said so quickly and chose to support the Empress Dowager Cixi. And this obviously made them feel very helpless, but they felt very happy because of this article.

"Okay, this article is good! Wang Guorui's ancestor was also a low-level actor, who specialized in performing face-changing for fun." "Yes, yes! I didn't expect that the descendants of an actor would be so rampant. And After becoming an official, she really can't change the character of an actor, how quickly she changed her face!"...

Because the status of actors in ancient times was not high, they couldn't compare with the actors of later generations, so they all started to call Wang Guorui an actor. They wanted to use this method to belittle Wang Guorui's net worth, as if Wang Guorui was also a descendant of a pariah actor.

"Husband, it's so irritating! These **** scholars actually scolded you like this, calling you an actor?" Zheng Hong said.

Wang Guorui said flatly: "What's the matter with this? If you don't get scolded when you become an official, it means you are mediocre. And there is nothing wrong with being an actor. In the future, I am afraid that even an actor will earn more than many high-ranking officials. Besides, Since ancient times, first-rate actors go to the officialdom, second-rate actors go to the mall, and third-rate actors go to acting. Just take it as they are praising me, don’t be so angry, it’s not good to move your fetus. You are now Our national treasure of Taiwan!"

Wang Guorui was already prepared to be scolded. After all, how could he not be scolded when he became an official? As a politician, of course it is impossible to avoid being scolded, and your political opponents will definitely scold you. And if you **** someone else's official position, then of course someone scolds you~lightnovelpub.net~ Then if you talk back about everything, isn't that just asking for trouble? So when someone scolds you, you have to be more open, and treat it as someone who is jealous of you and is praising you. Anyway, you just listen backwards, this kind of Ah Q spirit is still necessary, if an official does not have the so-called Ah Q spirit, then you will be **** to death long ago, and you will not be able to get into the top ranks. Therefore, a proper Ah Q spirit is still necessary for officials, otherwise they will be angry at everything, and in the end they can only achieve nothing. Just like the US President Lincoln back then, didn't he also have the spirit of Ah Q?

Now that the Reform Party is scolding themselves, that means letting them scold them. Is Wang Guorui still afraid? These reform parties want military power but do not have military power. It is impossible for them to affect Wang Guorui's status. This kind of scolding that won't lose a piece of meat is to let them scold, and as long as you do your own thing well, that's fine.

"Hong'er, we will officially get married in two days. We don't need to pay attention to their reactions in these two days. Let's prepare for our wedding so that we can be considered a family! When the time comes, give me a baby." My child, I will definitely become a great general in the future," Wang Guorui said.

And when she heard about the wedding, Zheng Hong felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event for a woman, so she also took it very seriously. What's more, I'm already pregnant, and I can't do without marrying Wang Guorui, so now that I hear that I'm going to get married, it feels sweet for a while. (to be continued)
