The Survival Wisdom of the Beiyang Era (182): Out of the mud without staining.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many famous "butchers", like a generation of Xiang Shuai Zhang Zhidong because he led the abolition of the imperial examination, cut off the way of the rise of the disciples, got a seemingly elegant "Shi Tu", compared with the name of a person, it seems that it is not very popular, this person is known as "Guan Tu" Cen Chunxuan, in the Gengzi Chaos because of the merit of escorting, deeply favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, after the two palaces returned to Luan, they rose to the top, from being a patrol officer at the helm, and then rongsheng to acting governor of Liangguang. He was ranked as a high-ranking official in the Qing court. However, after being proud, Cen Chunxuan wanted to do something that non-crazy people did not dare to do, that is, to start rectifying the chaotic eunuch sea of the Qing court, for a time the dignitaries and dignitaries in the two Guangdong regions were all in danger, and the turmoil in the southeast eunuch sea directly affected the court, after all, at that time, a reality known inside and outside the Qing court, the biggest corrupt official was the imperial clan Prince Qing Prince Yi Li.
After that, Cen Chunxuan was also drunk, and a group of small minions in the territory of the jurisdiction could not satisfy his appetite, and the spearhead behind him was naturally Prince Qing Yili, this kind of Yi Li who took corrupt officials in the local jurisdiction and had the interests to convey, even if he sat in the court, he would be indirectly affected, so it is said that Cen Chunxuan took the local officials in the territory under his jurisdiction to open the knife, and the real pain was still Prince Qing. At first, the two Guangdong Eunuchs thought that this was just another way for the new official to take office with three fires, and after the three axes were swung, everyone closed the door to share the benefits again, but they did not expect that Cen Chunxuan was not oil and salt, choosing a road to go to the black, and the places investigated were full of mourning. The strategy of complicity and defilement did not work, and there was only another way to find another way, that is, to incite the wind and ignite the fire through the center of the court, so that the top of the temple would have a bad impression of Cen Chunxuan, so that even if he was not implicated in prison, he would have to lose his official position. Helplessly, Empress Dowager Cixi remembered the grace of the two palaces to save the car, and the holy family has been following Cen Chunxuan.
However, the seemingly desperate officials in the Liangguang area then began to resort to a more unorthodox means, that is, deception, that is, the trick of packaging Cen Chunxuan to deceive Cixi's trust. The breakthrough lies in Cixi's death pit in the Pengshu Transformation Method, and Kang Liang and the two men plot the nightmare after the siege of the garden. Tying Cen Chunxuan with these royalists was definitely Cixi's anti-scale. Sure enough, seeing their "intimate group photo", although Cixi did not want to go through the old accounts again, it was naturally unclear to investigate, but she was cautious and cautious, naturally she did not want the people she trusted to be involved with the opponents of the temple, so Cen Chunxuan was dismissed by a letter of edict and recalled to the Beijing Division for training.
In the end, although Cen Chunxuan washed himself away, in the eyes of the suspicious Cixi, as long as there was a trace of doubt, the scenery of the holy family was no longer there. The turmoil in the eunuch sea of Liangguang came to an abrupt end, and the Qing court's giant greedy Yi Li was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Cen Chunxuan couldn't understand that he had taken a knife from a corrupt official and drastically rectified the rule of officials in order to be able to scrape the bones of the Qing court and cure the poison, but he had no choice but to offend too many people from the local to the court, and finally opened a vacancy to enter Beijing, but instead cut himself, after all, in the view of Cixi at the top of the temple, the problem of the temple's position was far more serious than greed for money. Guan Tu's knife was so blunted, except for Lord Cen who did not want to understand, it was a happy ending for the Qing court, and the eunuch sea returned to stability and unity, and continued to run away happily, no one would care about the Imperial Dragon Banner of the Great Qing, which was already shaky at this time.
