Chapter 124: The Regent of the Qing Dynasty (Part 2)

At present, Zaifeng's own ability could no longer stop the momentum of chaos, and he had thought of using Zhang Zhidong's remaining power in the court to alleviate the crisis. But after all, he drove him away from the court with one hand. Now that he was in trouble, he was always a little embarrassed and could not pull this face. However, just when he was in a dilemma, Zhang Zhidong's servant brought Zhang Zhidong's message, wanting to see him and say that there was a countermeasure to help him solve the current crisis. He was hesitant at first, but after seeing the token engraved with the Queen Mother's disciple sent by Zhang Zhidong, he decided to go there.

Since he had thought about being humiliated in advance, although he was very angry at the moment, he still held back his breath and walked slowly from the stairs to the second floor. After going up the second floor, the scene in front of him stunned him. He had thought that only Zhang Zhidong should be the only one in the room, but he didn't expect that there was one more person. Moreover, after knowing his identity, this person had no intention of getting up to greet him. Zaifeng, who was already angry, could no longer hold back, and his face turned dark, and he snorted coldly, and he was about to turn around and go downstairs.

"Prince, aren't you going to solve the current predicament?" Zhang Zhidong said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty's foundation has reached a crisis. As a royal family, he just gave up the only opportunity to rescue the Qing Dynasty's crisis for a little face. It really disappointed me!"

"As a life-care minister, Lord Zhang has been favored by the emperor for many years. Now, seeing the crisis of the Qing Dynasty, I am even more happy to humiliate me." Zaifeng stood at the entrance of the stairs and sneered without showing any weakness: "Didn't Lord Zhang always praise himself as the empress dowager? If the Empress Dowager, who is under the Nine Springs, knows what you are doing today, I wonder if it will burn her heart?"

"I don't think so." Xu Changqing, who was sitting beside him, suddenly laughed: "Since that old Buddha is not dead, how could he feel disappointed in the nine springs?"

"Stop talking, I am talking to Lord Zhang, how can you, the common people, interrupt me!" Zaifeng glared at Xu Changqing angrily and shouted.

"Prince, calm down! Old Master Rong will introduce you to you." Zhang Zhidong stood up at this time, pointed at Xu Changqing, and said, "This is Mr. Xu Changqing."

"Hmph! Nameless!" Zaifeng snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Changqing, and was about to turn his head, suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, his body became stiff as if he had been imposed by someone. The expression on his face seemed to have seen a ghost, and his head turned back little by little, looked at Xu Changqing in disbelief, and asked Zhang Zhidong again: "Mr. Zhang, what did you think of his name?"

Zhang Zhidong was obviously very satisfied with Zaifeng's reaction, and smiled and said, "Xu Changqing!"

Zaifeng's face suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a gloomy face: "But Xu Changqing from Chen Jiachong in Shaoguan?"

"It's Xu!" Xu Changqing stood up and said with his fists at Zaifeng.

When Zaifeng heard Xu Changqing admit it in person, he couldn't help but take a breath. The first thought in his mind was that Zhang Zhidong joined forces with others to take his life. But then he immediately rejected this idea. Not to mention that Zhang Zhidong's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty was beyond doubt, even if he wanted to take his life, he should not be so blatant.

After connecting the joints, Zaifeng became calm and his face returned to normal. He clasped his fists to Xu Changqing and said, "I have heard of the name of Mr. and Mr. Master. I am really lucky to see him today. It is just because the current appearance and rumors are too different. I didn't recognize him for a while. Sorry! Sorry!" As he said that, he turned to Zhang Zhidong and blamed him: "Sir Zhang, since he has known Mr. Xu for a long time, why didn't he recommend it to the court? Doesn't the old master know that Empress Dowager Empress Dowager was trying to find out about Mr. Xu's lineage, and he couldn't know?"

Seeing Zaifeng relieving the invisible pressure around him indifferently and questioning Zhang Zhidong in a silence, Xu Changqing couldn't help but nod in admiration. This way of doing things that can turn hands into clouds and turn hands into rain is very useful to people. From this, it seems that Zaifeng was able to become the Regent.

Faced with Zaifeng's reproach, Zhang Zhidong smiled indifferently and said, "It was because of the fact that the Lord Lai Buddha wanted to seek talented people back then that I was placed in Huguang for so many years. I also acted in accordance with the Lord Lai Buddha's decree."

When Zaifeng heard Zhang Zhidong come up with Cixi to say something, he didn't know how to say anything more. He turned to Xu Changqing and asked, "Mr. Just now, what's the point of Empress Dowager Empress Dowager's not dead?"

"Didn't Xuangang Heavenly Demon tell the prince?" Xu Changqing said in a deep voice in surprise: "Not only Empress Dowager Cixi was not dead, but even Emperor Guangxu was not dead."

"What?" Due to the shocking news, Zaifeng forgot to care about Xu Changqing's disrespectful name to the two of them for a while, and shouted in surprise.

"Sit down and talk slowly!" Xu Changqing knew very well how deep the brotherly relationship between Zaifeng and Emperor Guangxu was. The two brothers were almost the same as one person, and did not look like a ruthless imperial family. The big reason why Yuan Shikai was hated by Zaifeng was because he had betrayed Emperor Guangxu, and Emperor Guangxu's failure to die was undoubtedly a great surprise for him.

Seeing Xu Changqing's expression as if nothing had happened, Zaifeng, who was anxious, frowned, stood at the entrance of the stairs for a moment, and finally turned around and walked down the chair opposite Xu Changqing, with a expressionless face, but the gaze in his eyes showed some anxiety. In addition, Zaifeng was not the only one who was surprised because of this news, even Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know the news in advance, and his face looked a little gloomy. He sat back next to Xu Changqing and looked at him with a reproachful look.

"I wonder if the prince knows what the Nine Dragons are trying to achieve the great Dharma?" After everyone sat down, Xu Changqing suddenly asked in a daze.

Zaifeng didn't know what Xu Changqing meant. He thought about it for a while and nodded and said, "I know a little about this." Then he said solemnly: "If you want to talk about this, then you will be in vain."
