When Li Lianying saw Lin Yuan, she didn't say much. She took Lin Yuan to the Forbidden City. It happened to be four o'clock in the morning when she arrived at the palace. The Qianqing Palace is having a meeting with several military ministers, so hurry over there."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I have never been a Minister of Military Aircraft in my title, but every time the Minister of Military Aircraft holds a meeting, the emperor always looks for me. It's really interesting." Lin Yuan came to Qianqing Palace while thinking, the eunuch announced, and pushed open the door Going in, I saw Emperor Guangxu sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding a memorial in his hand.

Sitting under Emperor Guangxu were Prince Qing, Prince Gong, Yuan Shikai, Sun Yuwen, Rong Lu, and Weng Tonghe. Lin Yuan came in and said weakly, "Lin Aiqing is back?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and Emperor Guangxu whispered to an eunuch beside him, "Let the imperial dining room serve breakfast."

Lin Yuan was full of doubts when he heard it, and thought: "What? Seeing me come in and eat breakfast? Could it be that so many people stayed up all night waiting for me to have breakfast?" Lin Yuan was thinking, when he saw a little eunuch Lift out the small table and place it in front of everyone, and then someone brings a food box, opens it in front of everyone, and takes out the contents one by one and arranges them.

Emperor Guangxu picked up his chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said, "Let's eat." Lin Yuan looked down at himself. The steamed buns, side dishes, and rice porridge were made like handicrafts, extremely delicate. Lin Yuan saw everyone They were all eating with their heads down, and they were embarrassed to ask what was the matter, so they ate along with them. When the food was almost eaten, Emperor Guangxu asked people to remove the food, and handed a memorial to the eunuch beside him, saying: " Bring it to Lin Aiqing."

The little eunuch sent the memorial to Lin Yuan, and Emperor Guangxu said: "This is the memorial sent by Yang Changjun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in a hurry. You should take a look first."

Lin Yuan frowned, and asked, "Eight hundred li urgently? Is there no telegram?"

Emperor Guangxu shook his head helplessly, and Lin Yuan said again: "My wireless communication equipment is already on sale, why didn't they buy one?"

Emperor Guangxu sighed, and said: "Yang Changjun has always been opposed to telegraphs, railways and other Western things. You don't know how many folds he gave me when your Jingyun Railway was built in Xi'an. If I hadn't suppressed them Come down... well, let's not talk so much, let's read the brochure first."

Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "This Yang Changjun is really old-fashioned. He doesn't buy radio communication equipment, and he doesn't even use telegrams!" Lin Yuan opened the booklet while thinking, only to see that there were only a few words on it: "The thieves are powerful. , Yesterday captured Lanzhou Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and Yan'an Mansion were in critical condition, rushed to the imperial court to help, Yang Changjun, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, April [-]th, [-]**[-]."

Lin Yuan frowned after reading it, and asked: "Is there only such a memorial? Said there were bandits? Who were the bandits? They also captured Lanzhou Mansion, which is so big, and there are Lanzhou sub-patrol yamen stationed there. Why do you say that breaking through is breaking through?"

Emperor Guangxu said helplessly: "We are also guessing!"

Lin Yuan asked, "Did anyone guess who the bandit soldiers were?" After saying this, Lin Yuan was also thinking, "Who will capture Lanzhou Prefecture?"

Prince Gong said on the side: "Could it be a foreigner?"

Lin Yuan frowned, and said: "How could it be a foreigner? Only Russians can reach Lanzhou from land. Russians have to think that there are two roads in Lanzhou. One goes directly south, passing through Mongolia to Lanzhou. This road is absolutely impossible. Impossible, my elite troops are stationed in Mongolia, it is impossible for us not to know that the Russians are coming!"

"The other way is to go south into Xinjiang first, and then go east into Lanzhou, but this road is full of wild sand in the desert, it is impossible for the Russians to come here, and the most difficult thing to explain is: the Russians are free to attack our Lanzhou What does the government do?"

Prince Qing said: "I have said long ago that it is impossible for them to be foreigners, but you have to tell Lin Yuan again, I think most of the bandits who took down Lanzhou Mansion were refugees and bandits!"

Prince Gong said unconvinced: "The refugees and bandits are not strong, how could they capture the Lanzhou government in one day, Yang Changjun has a lot of time to report, why did he send the report now..." The two debated on the spot, but Lin Yuan I thought to myself: "Lanzhou Prefecture has our railway department, and we have people in Lanzhou Prefecture. If such a big incident happened in Lanzhou Prefecture, why didn't I receive the notice?"

Lin Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Emperor Guangxu pat the table and said, "You two princes, stop talking and listen to Lin Yuan's opinion."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "The situation is unclear now, and it's not clear who is the bandit soldier, but one thing is certain, the bandit soldier cannot be a foreigner! I have explained the reason very clearly."

Emperor Guangxu sighed: "I don't know who the bandit soldiers are, how can we send troops to help?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If I take out the communicator now and investigate, maybe I can find out about the bandit soldiers. I'd better wait until there is no one. I will take out the communicator." Lin Yuan was Thinking about it, he heard a eunuch rushing in from outside, knelt down on the ground, panting and said: "Report...Report to the Holy One, Lanzhou Sub-Taoist Daotai Yang Lanzhi has entered Beijing, and now he is waiting outside the Meridian Gate."

In the Qing Dynasty, the Fen Xun Dao was a first-level functional organization between the province and the government. At the beginning, it was only responsible for criminal names and other affairs, and later it was gradually responsible for military equipment, money and grain. When he came, his eyes brightened immediately, and he said, "Hurry up and declare!"

Not long ago, a middle-aged man covered in dust came to the crowd. Everyone knew that he was Yang Lanzhi. As soon as Yang Lanzhi was about to kneel down and salute, Emperor Guangxu said, "There's no need to salute. What happened to Lanzhou Mansion? Hurry up!" explain!"

Yang Lanzhi quickly said: "It's the bandits, the bandits took down Lanzhou Mansion!"

Everyone was amazed, and Emperor Guangxu asked: "The bandits? Who are the bandits?"

Yang Lanzhi said: "The rioters are all thugs!" Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Troublemakers? Could it be that it was the peasant rebels who took down the Lanzhou government?"

Emperor Guangxu said angrily: "How can a group of unscrupulous people take down Lanzhou Mansion? After taking down Lanzhou Mansion, they can still threaten Fengxiang Mansion and Yan'an Mansion? Let me quickly tell you the whole story!"

Yang Lanzhi said: "The incident started a month ago..."

When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he picked up the memorial in front of him and beat Yang Lanzhi, angrily said: "What happened a month ago, why is it only now?"

When Yang Lanzhi heard the "slap" sound of the memorial falling to the ground, his whole body trembled with fright, and he kowtowed and said, "Please calm down, my lord, let me speak slowly. A month ago, Xinyuan County under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou Prefecture was plagued by locusts. The seedlings were wiped out overnight, Zhang Ningwei, the governor of Gansu Province, went to the rescue and opened a warehouse to release grain. Unexpectedly, those unscrupulous people did not appreciate God's kindness, and made a mess, killing Mr. Zhang, and looting all the grain transported. "

"This group of unscrupulous people started the incident from Xinyuan County, all the way to the east, the team became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more people. Gradually, there were hundreds of thousands of people. They smashed the county government and broke the state capital. Captured Lanzhou Mansion! Master Yang Changjun originally thought that the bandits were mobs, vulnerable to a single blow, so he sent people to encircle and suppress them, but at this moment, something evil happened!"
