Chapter 273 The Wind Rises in the Forbidden City

@@@@@

Yang Qiu's footsteps were firm and he faced the difficulties in the north, preparing to face the great powers for the dream in his heart, but he didn't know that the accident had also quietly befallen ().

Not far from Dongjiaomin Lane, there is an inconspicuous two-storey European-style bungalow, whose former owner was a Belgian railway supplier, who returned to China to enjoy the fortune after making a fortune on the construction of the Jinghan Line, and sold it to Japanese merchants.

In addition to the Japanese-style wooden door number at the door, there is no change in the interior, the four words "Banxi Mansion" on the door plate are impressive, and the Banxi Mansion at this time has not been hated as much as later generations, and everyone thinks that he is just a friendship club founded by the Japanese military attache in China, Sakanishi Daisa.

In the office on the second floor of the hall, Wu Guangxin changed into a suit and combed his hair with a small part, and his scalp was shiny and shining after wiping his hair oil, making people wonder if the hot weather would cause a head full of flies.

After Beiyang was swallowed by the National Defense Army, all the generals like him, who did not know how to soldier, and had no real talent and learning, were all dismissed, Yang Qiu directly left the military rank for these people to retire, or gave a considerable severance pay, or took the national pension and waited for death, as for the resistance, he directly arrested the family according to the method of Cao Kun and Duan Zhigui.

Wu Guangxin is different from his brother-in-law, he has no intention of mixing in the army, so after taking 20,000 yuan of retirement money, he started a small business in Beijing, and he also made a lot of money by relying on the opportunity of Duan Qirui to stay in Beijing, and his life is quite nourishing, but recently Yang Qiu suddenly engaged in a municipality directly under the central government, and wanted to directly assign Beijing to the central government, and also transferred Yan Laoxi, who was full of vinegar, to be the mayor, and Duan Qirui to Wuchang to serve as the deputy commander of the National Guard, which suddenly made the future bleak.

But today he has a windfall in front of him.

At the signal of Sakanishi Daisa, Kenji Dohihara, who had just come to Beijing to work as an assistant last year, took out a stack of yen from his purse: "These are a little meanings for Your Excellency, and I hope to accept it with a smile." ”

Wu Guangxin looked at Kenji Tohihara, who had round cheeks, and was surprised that he could actually speak a standard Beijing accent, although many Japanese people can speak Chinese, but it was the first time he had seen such a standard. A thick stack of yen is enough for tens of thousands, this is not Yang Qiu's kind of large-scale industrial investment, 10,000 yuan is a huge amount of money in the people, with it can go to Hong Kong to live a comfortable life for a few years.

But.

He didn't stretch out his hand, and others may not be able to sit still in the face of huge sums of money, but who is he? Duan Qirui's brother-in-law! After so many years in Beiyang, it is very clear that the money of the Orientals is easy to take, but Yang Qiu's national society and the Japanese are not to deal with, and Wang Yitang is still counting straws in prison.

Sakanishi Osa seemed to know that he would not agree so easily, and quietly glanced at Kenji Dohihara, who took out a stack of yen yards and put it on top of the pile just now, and said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, we just want to ask you for a small favor, these are just deposits, after the matter is over, your whole family and Chief Duan can all immigrate to our country, and we will also protect your safety." ”

Kenji Dohihara said as he took out stacks of yen from his bag, and in the blink of an eye, a thick stack of yen was piled up in front of him, which was enough 100,000 so that Wu Guangxin couldn't sit still, 100,000! That's a lot of money.

But the higher the pile of money, the more unstable his heart becomes, how can these Oriental people be so kind, why do they give themselves so much money? So Qiang Ren ** asked: "Let's talk about what is going on first." ”

Seeing his greedy gaze, both Sakanishi Daisa and Kenji Dohihara smiled, and the latter said, "We want Your Excellency to help us take someone out of Beijing." ”

Take someone away? Even if you want to kill Yan Laoxi, you don't need 100,000, right? "Who is it?" After Wu Guangxin sank his voice, Kenji Dohihara unhurriedly took out a cigar and handed it to him, and helped him light it before he suddenly spoke: "Emperor." ”

"Who?!" Wu Guangxin screamed and almost jumped, and the cigar that his finger had just caught fell to the ground.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom." Sakanishi Daisa's fingers tapped lightly on the table: "As a civilized person, the Great Japanese Empire believes that His Majesty has the right to choose his own residence, so we want to take him back to his hometown." ”

Shit civilized people! Wu Guangxin scolded in his heart, he is not a fool. What helped him return to his hometown, does the Manchurian still have a hometown? The Manchus on the Liaodong side all moved into the Guannai a hundred years ago, and the land of Fengtian Longxing was already the world of the Han people, and now all the people who are making trouble there are old and young people who no one wants, and letting the little emperor go back is just to make a bigger fuss, so that the Oriental people have the opportunity to meddle in the Northeast!

After thinking of this, his gaze on money changed a little, this money is too prickly! In case of an accident, even his brother-in-law Duan Qirui can't protect himself, and may even affect him, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I can't help this favor, let's ask another Gao Ming." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Kenji Dohihara took out a thick photo and information from his bag: "If Your Excellency does not want to, then I guarantee that these things will appear on the desk of the National Socialist Party tomorrow." After seeing the photos and information, Wu Guangxin's face turned pale, and on it was a record of selling guns to several people not long ago!

After the fall of Beiyang, many guns and ammunition were resold by others, Wu Guangxin was one of them, using Duan Qirui's relationship to praise more than 100,000 yuan in less than half a year, but he has been cautious in this matter, only last month because a few full buyers wanted to inspect the goods before he came forward in person, I didn't expect this to be arranged by the Japanese!

His heart can be punished!

Wu Guangxin's vest is cold, I didn't expect the other party to actually drill such a big set for himself, and sell it to bandits or something, at most, it will be a few years in prison, but being involved with Manmeng's gang is probably a big thing to lose his head ()!

"Your Excellency, don't worry, we can grant you a temporary diplomatic passport, and if something happens, you can immediately take refuge in our embassy." Seeing that his expression was cloudy, and he was also afraid that the fish would die and reveal the secret, he said word by word: "What you have to do is very simple, just prepare a car and send away the guards outside the palace gate, and we will arrange the rest." ”

Facing Kenji Dohihara, who is fluent in Chinese, Wu Guangxin looked at the money and the photos, and his face turned a little blue.

Under the golden glazed tiles, there is a child who is ignorant of the outside world, the little emperor has no idea that there are people outside who want to take him out of this big cage, at this moment he is lying on the ground watching a group of ants move, the eunuchs behind him are hanging their heads and full of impatience, it is better to go to the side hall to find a few treasures to exchange money, until there is a sound of footsteps barely cheered up, and secretly looks at the current emperor's teachers Chen Baochen and Iktan.

Although the Manchu Qing abdicated, there were not a few people who blessed the dream of restoring the country, Zhang Xun still wore braids and did not allow people around him to cut it, and the royalists such as Liang Dunyan, Liang Qichao and Johnston published articles in newspapers from time to time, although they did not directly call the restoration, but the centralization of power in their mouths all pointed to the restoration of the imperial throne and the establishment of a Japanese-style constitutional monarchy.

Among these people, Chen Baochen is undoubtedly the most active.

He can also be regarded as a character who has experienced several ups and downs in the sea for a long time, but the older he gets, the more important the royalist thinking becomes, and when he saw the emperor teasing the ants, he shook his head angrily, and he didn't want to scold the emperor so he had to scold the eunuchs one by one.

When the little emperor saw the teacher coming, he had to stick out his tongue and reluctantly go to the academy surrounded by eunuchs.

"Nonsense, what nonsense! These eunuchs should also be well managed, the last time I went out of the palace, I saw several people stealing things and selling them to foreigners, the old man was almost beaten when he came forward to reason, and now he is still hooking up with the emperor not to read and come out to play, there are really no rules at all! Chen Baochen was still angry, stomping his feet and getting angry.

Although Iktan was a few years younger than Chen Baochen, he was also in his fifties, and he mainly taught the little emperor Manchu (). At the beginning, after the Empress Dowager Yulong announced the abdication, he felt ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and kept saying that the Guerjia clan was full of heroes and martyrs, and he was sorry for his ancestors, so he directly hit the doorpost with his head, fortunately, his family stopped him quickly, but he still left a scar on his forehead. Fortunately, Yuan Shikai finally didn't do anything, and retained the royal clan so that the little emperor could live here in peace, and he could get millions of maintenance expenses every year. But he was bent on restoring the country, so he quietly colluded with the children of the clan to continue to use the imperial court system, not only established the internal affairs office, the sect's government and other departments, but also retained the Shen Penal Division, and tortured those who opposed the royal power.

It's just that with Yuan Shikai's paralysis, the power in the south has become more and more unpopular, and now even the eunuchs are in defiance, the entire Forbidden City is evil, theft is commonplace, eunuchs and palace maids collude with each other often have dirty things, a large number of palace antiquities are resold every day, and a few shops in Panjiayuan have opened before blatantly buying royal supplies, fortunately, the national defense army directly slaughtered hundreds of people to stop this wind, but there are still a lot of things flowing into the people in private.

Iktan, who had a scar on his head, didn't have the heart to get angry, he could see it, although the south had not proposed to abolish the royal family, but the management of the captivity was stricter, and the guards outside the palace gate had all changed, and even the eagle couldn't fly in the long run, so the emperor had to be taken out as soon as possible.

Lala Chen Baochen's sleeves: "Brother Tao An, now there are only a few old men who can talk here, but you are talking about whether those Japanese are reliable?" Although Wu Guangxin promised to take the emperor and send him to the Japanese legation, why did the old man always feel unsteady in his heart. ”

Chen Baochen was startled, and hurriedly looked at the distance between the old eunuchs who were only deaf and deaf and deaf around him, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhongping, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the Japanese, as long as Wu Guangxin is sent out of the curfew, we will escort the emperor out of the palace and go straight to the Japanese legation, and there will be a Japanese warship escort to Tianjin." ”

"That's good, if you can return to Manchuria, no matter what happens in the future, the old man will finally be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and if he dies, he can enter the ancestral tomb of the Guerjia clan!" Iktan sighed bitterly. The two discussed "big things" as they walked, and they didn't notice that the old eunuch who swept the floor always swept around the two of them not far away.
