Chapter 272: The Caged Bird (Part II)
Look for sweat and think deeper. The more panicked he was in his heart, in fact, he didn't care much about the preferential treatment of the child, he thought more about how to save the life of this family, the abolished emperor Fuyi was his son of Zaihan, and he Zaiqin was the actual emperor, if the Republic of China planned to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, neither of them could run away, and they all had to be buried with the Qing Dynasty.
Flipping through the history books, which new dynasty did not kill the royal family members of the previous dynasty after the Dingding? When the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it also carried out grass cutting and rooting actions against the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty, who can guarantee that the current Republic of China zhèngfǔ will not follow the example. Kill the Qing Dynasty royal family?
So, since I got up in the morning, I have been thinking about whether to hand over the letter. To prove that he has no ambitions for restoration?
Maybe this letter is not that the Republic of China wants to kill them all, but that they threw stones to ask for directions? Maybe they just wanted to see if Zaikhan was planning a restoration? If that's the purpose. Delivering the letter is probably the only way to prove his innocence.
But what if that's not the case? What if this letter was really sent to the palace by loyal ministers who were bent on restoring the Qing Dynasty? Handing over the letter can only aggravate the suspicion of the Republic of China, and it is difficult to say whether Zaiyang will live in the palace or the army prison at that time.
The current review is a caged bird. But after all, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there are minions waiting for you. If he is transferred to another place of house arrest or even detention because of this letter, I am afraid that he will not even be able to do this caged bird.
So. Until now, Zaiqin has not made up her mind about what to do with this letter, whether to hand it over or destroy it? Do you stay or pretend not to see?
Zai Khan hated himself very much for his hesitant xìng ge, as the former regent of the Great Qing Dynasty, this xìng grid defect directly led to the collapse of the Great Qing Kingdom, if he had been more decisive, if he had taken advantage of Yuan Shikai to escape from the capital when he executed this jiān minister. Perhaps, this dilapidated house of the Great Qing Kingdom can still support a period of rìzi in the storm, and at the worst of all, he can find a decent way to give up the country, in that case, he Zaiyang is not living like this prisoner now.
Just as Zai Pei was in a dilemma when he looked at the letter, a clothed servant outside the study shouted.
"The chief steward Karamang, please say hello to the master!"
Then I heard the voice of Grakraman. ―Full text version of the novel debut―
"The slave prays to the master.
Zaihan hurriedly put the letter back in the drawer. Unfolding a newspaper, he said, "O Karamang." You've been grinding for a long time, is the vegetable market going on strike again? Roll in and talk. ”
The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man walked into the study, drove a few steps, knelt down in front of the desk, kowtowed, leaned over and said: "If you go back to the master, although the vegetable market has not been stopped." However, I did delay some time when I bought vegetables today, because I took a fancy to a dish and brought it back to my master. ”
"What's so amazing? What dishes have you never seen? ”
Zai Khan glanced at him, but he was also curious, this housekeeper has no other strengths, he is intimate, anxious about what the master is anxious about, and thinks about what the master thinks, otherwise, he will not change from a Sula to the chief steward of the Alcohol Palace.
"Back to the master, this dish has a reputation, but the slave is afraid of borrowing it, so he doesn't dare to say it out loud. The minion dared to ask the master to nod. Let the minions move, and whisper to the master when they get closer. ”
Gura Mang looked up. Looking at Zai Khan, seeing that he nodded, he stood up and walked over. Stand beside Zaiyang and whisper.
"What?" Fuguo cuisine.? ”
Hearing this, Zai Yang almost jumped up from his chair, yesterday someone sent a letter of loyalty to the country, and today the housekeeper sent another dish of the country, "In the end, the Republic of China is going to kill it all." Or is it the time of the Qing Dynasty's national fraud?
He couldn't stop sweating, and stood up and lifted the corner of his robe.
"Roar recklessly, you take this king to see the "Fuguo cuisine."
The butler hurriedly walked ahead, and Zaimo did not bring a minion. I followed the housekeeper to the kitchen in the back garden.
Entering the kitchen, the housekeeper separated several busy cooks far away, leaving only a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was a short fighter, wearing a hat on his head, straw sandals on his feet, covered with mud, and he knew that he was a vegetable farmer at first glance.
"Master, this is the "Fuguo dish" that the slave said
Gura Manga pointed at the vegetable farmer, but what he said made Zai Khan inexplicable. ##。 The Starter##
"He? Who is he? ”
Zai Khan was even more confused, and looked at the vegetable farmer carefully, but he felt a little familiar, as if he had met before.
The palace sent stewards out to buy vegetables, and sometimes it was the vegetable vendors who brought the vegetables to the palace kitchen, but like Karamanga, the vegetable vendors had to be searched by soldiers when they entered and exited the palace, and soldiers were usually on the sidelines to follow and watch.
But now the strange thing is that there are no soldiers around the vegetable vendor, and Zai Yang is quite surprised.
The vegetable farmer didn't make as much fuss as Zai Ping. Seeing Zai Khan's question, he hurriedly patted his sleeve, knelt down and kowtowed, and whispered: "Slave Duanjin, please say hello to the regent." ”
"Duanjin? Duanfang's younger brother? You, how did you get down to the way you looked? ”
Zai Khan then remembered who this person was, when Duan Fang went to Liangjiang to take office, he took Duan Jin to the alcohol palace to resign before leaving, and Zai Yang and Duan Jin had a relationship. It's just that when did this Duanjin become a vegetable vendor?
"I didn't expect the prince to remember the minion" The minion is not a vegetable vendor, and the reason why the minion dresses up like this is just to blend in with the palace. The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty guaranteed the estimate, and finally let the servants see the prince
Duanjin kowtowed again and again, and he could get up.
"Get up and speak."
With a sigh, he looked at the housekeeper, who walked out of the kitchen and stood at the door
Wind.
Duanjin thanked him and then stood up, lowered his hand and said, "Lord Wang, the slave won't stay in the palace for long. Let's just say this. Now Yuan Shikai and the southern revolutionary party do not deal with, the southern revolutionary party is provoking the British, rìben, this world is chaotic, it is a good time for our Great Qing Dynasty to restore the country, rìbenzhèngfǔ also support our banner people, the so-called opportunity can not be lost, the time will not come again, the slaves have invited all kinds of loyal people, just waiting to rescue the emperor. to the east; Provincial restoration. Now that there is Rì himself in the center, King Gong and King Su have recruited rebels in the three eastern provinces, as long as the emperor goes to Fengtian, our great cause of recovering the Qing Kingdom will be half of the success. The slave came this time to deliver a message to the prince, telling the prince to get ready, and when the time comes, we will send someone to meet the regent and the emperor. ”
Zai Khan listened to Duanjin's narration with a pale face, and when he paid attention to it, he calmed down a little, and said: "This matter is too dangerous, King Rong Ben will think about it for a few days." You may not know that the Alcohol Palace's Mansion is tightly guarded, let alone a person, and not even a cat can escape. ”
Duan Jin said: "The prince doesn't have to worry. In fact, our loyal ministers and righteous men of the Qing Dynasty have long been planning to rescue the emperor. Zhao Cishan, the governor of Sichuan, sent people to Tianjin a few months ago, carrying a huge amount of money to contact heroes from all walks of life, and took precautions to rescue the emperor. Now there are some of our people among the guards of this cool palace, with their strategy, it is not difficult to escape from the palace, as long as we leave the palace, we will escort the emperor to Dongjiaomin Lane and hide in the legation, in this way, the Republic of China zhèngfǔ is helpless, Yuan Shikai is not a revolutionary party, let alone the Zhao Bei of the Republican Army, he does not dare to be tough with foreigners. ”
"Zhao Cishan? Isn't he dead? The newspaper said that he hanged himself because of the Sichuan-Han Road money deficit case.
Zaiping had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and remembered the letter from an unknown source.
This matter came out of Zhao Cishan's plan before his death. Although Zhao Cishan was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the man he sent to Tianjin had been on the move, and the reason why the servants were able to meet with the housekeeper and infiltrate the palace today. It's all up to that man to help. The reason why Zhao Cishan committed suicide in prison was precisely to protect the great cause of the restoration of our Qing Dynasty, before committing suicide, Zhao Cishan used a blood letter to tell the minions about the incident, otherwise, how would the minions know that he sent someone to Tianjin to prepare for the restoration of the country? ”
Duanjin's words made Zaiping hesitate, whether to leave or stay, this is indeed a problem.
But he didn't have time to think about it, the housekeeper hurriedly walked into the kitchen, glanced at Duan Jin, Duan Jin hurriedly picked up a flat pole, carried two bamboo baskets on his back, and walked out of the kitchen door. When he walked by Zaijun's side, he muttered in a low voice: "Prince, after a few more rì slaves will come again, I hope that the prince will make a decision as soon as possible, if the servants are arranged to meet the emperor, the servants will be more sure of doing things." ”
The voice fell, and I heard the voice of a soldier outside the door.
"Hey! The vegetable seller, it's time to go! Lao Tzu has finished going to the thatched house, why are you still grinding in the kitchen? Do you want to pick up a golden pimple in the palace or do you want to peek at the maids in the palace taking a bath? ”
"Gone, gone! The military master is in a hurry, and the villain will leave. ”
Duan Jin glanced at Zai, and then hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, followed a soldier out of Houhua County, Wangfu, and lowered his head all the way, until he was no different from an old farmer in the countryside.
Soon walked out of the Alcohol Palace, Duanjin did not dare to stay. Carrying the two empty baskets with a flat pole, he walked to a secluded alley by the palace, found a seat in front of a roller stall at the entrance of the alley, bought a bowl of roller pure from the boss, and drank it absentmindedly.
At this time, a passer-by dressed as a talent also walked over, sat down next to Duanjin, and also bought a bowl to cover it, but he was not in a hurry to drink, and turned his head to look at Duanjin first.
Duan Jin smiled slightly at the person who was dressed as a talent, and the person also smiled and asked, "This vegetable market is not bad?" ”
Duanjin nodded and said, "Not bad." Today, the business is particularly good, and the two baskets of vegetables are sold out in less than a catty. If my husband wants to buy fresh vegetables one day, he will go to the Daqianmen Railway Station, where I will set up a stall to sell vegetables, and if I am not there, my fellow villagers will also be there. ”
After finishing the meeting, he packed up the flat pole and bamboo basket, and got up and left after meeting the tent.
After Duanjin left, the talented man tasted the bowl carefully, ate a bowl, bought another bowl, and chewed slowly for half an hour. Then he got up and walked down the alley to the end, stopped in front of a cigarette vendor, picked a few handfuls of cigarettes from the wooden box that the vendor was holding, and finally bought only a few. After meeting the account, he called a rickshaw and told the driver to go to the Daqianmen railway station.
After the dressed man left, the peddler selling paper cigarettes wandered around the alley a few more times. After looking back and forth for a long time, the stall was closed. Carrying the cigarette case, he walked to the north of the city and entered a mule and horse shop. asked the guy where the thatched house was, and rushed to the thatched house with a cigarette case.
After entering the thatched house, the vendor quickly opened the wooden box full of paper cigarettes, put it on the ground, groped around in the paper cigarettes, and finally found a small paper roll one inch long, and hurriedly unfolded the paper roll, but saw a line of small characters written on it:
"The quick telegram sent back the general number, telling the shopkeeper: Manyuro has been trimmed, everything is going well, don't worry. Iron Bridge. ”
The seller silently read the contents of the note several times. Memorize it and tear the note to shreds. Thrown into the pit, he then took the wooden box containing the cigarettes on his back, hurried out of the mule and horse shop, and walked straight to the Běijīng telegraph office.
