Chapter 98 Ninety-seven, aftermath of Hong Xian

In Yuan Shikai's era, there were a lot of popular terms in politics, such as the Three Heroes of Beiyang, the Four Friends of Songshan Mountain, the Four Generals, the Four Fiends, the Six Gentlemen, the Seven Villains, the Ten Lies of Xishan, and the Thirteen Taibao. The three masters of Beiyang have been introduced earlier, namely dragon, tiger and dog.Wang Long, Duan Hu, Feng Gou.Wang Shizhen’s dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, so he is called the dragon. In fact, his official position among the three Beiyang heroes is not as good as Feng’s acting president and Duan’s ruling, and he has never seized real power. Perhaps it is because of this that people respect him as a dragon, because Chinese scholar-bureaucrats The traditional style regards surrender as virtue; Duan Qirui is angry and powerful, so he is called a tiger; Feng Guozhang is easy to talk and talks, so he is called a dog.

The Four Friends of Songshan Mountain have also been mentioned earlier, namely Xu Shichang, Zhao Erxun, Li Jingxi, and Zhang Jian. The four generals are Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, and Yinchang. The four murderers are Zhao Bingjun, Chen Huan, Zhu Qiqian, and Liang Shiyi. The six gentlemen mentioned earlier in this book are Yang Du, Sun Yuyun, Yan Fu, Liu Shipei, Li Xiehe, and Hu Ying. The seven villains are Zhu Qiqian, Duan Zhigui, Zhou Ziqi, Liang Shiyi, Zhang Zhenfang, Lei Zhenchun, and Yuan Naikuan. At the beginning of the Xishan Shili Book, it was mentioned that they were important figures attached to the entire Qing Dynasty, namely: Dorgon (bear), Hong Chengchou (badger), Wu Sangui (owl), He Shen (wolf), Hailancha (donkey) ), Nian Gengyao (pig), Zeng Guofan (python), Zhang Zhidong (monkey), Queen Mother of the West (fox), Yuan Shikai (toad).

Thirteen Taibao is the general term for "six gentlemen" plus "seven villains". "Six Gentlemen" was originally a term for representative figures. We have seen it many times in history books: The first batch was Chen Yizhong and other six gentlemen during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty; The second batch is the six gentlemen including Zhou Duanchao, a student of Emperor Ningzong of Song Dynasty; The third batch was Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other six gentlemen during Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty; The fourth batch is also the six gentlemen of Zhou Qiyuan, Miao Changqi, and Zhou Shunchang during the Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty;

The fifth group is the six gentlemen Tan Sitong, Lin Xu, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Yang Shenxiu, and Kang Guangren of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the Guangxu Dynasty. These six gentlemen were beheaded by Cixi at Caishikou in Beijing for helping Guangxu reform. The last six gentlemen are the six gentlemen who initiated the Security Council in the 4th year of the Republic of China. The fifth and sixth Six Gentlemen were all related to Yuan Shikai. In the year of 1898, Yuan Shikai betrayed the New Party and exchanged the heads of the Six Gentlemen for his wealth, which enabled him to gain the favor of Cixi, master the military and political power in the late Qing Dynasty, and finally win the world ; In the 4th year of the Republic of China, the monarchy was promoted because of the six gentlemen of Hong Xian, and finally because of proclaiming the emperor, the people rebelled against their relatives, and lost their lives in the 83-day emperor's dream.Later generations commented on Yuan, saying that he started with the "Six Gentlemen" and died with the "Six Gentlemen".

The most wonderful thing is: Yuan Shikai has a special relationship with Hunan people throughout his life. Tan Sitong is the core of the Six Gentlemen of 1898, because Tan Sitong conveyed Guangxu's secret edict, asking Yuan Bing to end Cixi and the conservative forces around her. Informed, which led to the Reform Movement of 1898.Tan is from Liuyang, Hunan.The protagonist of Hong Xian's Six Gentlemen is Yang Du, who is from Xiangtan, Hunan.The most wonderful thing is that Cai E, who defeated Emperor Hongxian, was also from Baoqing, Hunan. Foreign newspapers called the six gentlemen of Hong Xian the "monarch matchmaker".In fact, the real protagonist of these six monarchs is Yang Du, the assistant singer is Sun Yuyun, and the other four are just "border ministers".If these six gentlemen are subdivided, there are three Hunanese, four opium pipes, one vertical and horizontal man, one frustrated soldier, two Kuomintang members, and two nerds.Yang Du was the founder and the arranger, and the other five were all recruited by him. Among them, only Li Xiehe went to an old friend to find a meal because of poverty, and came across this "great opportunity".When the Preparatory Committee was established, Yang said in a speech: "I have always been one of the people who advocated the monarchy. When the National Freemasonry was organized in 1911, it was proposed that the people vote on the government. At that time, because the Congress did not form, the republic had to be established after the president. Regime. Now, with several comrades, we are studying whether a republic or a monarch is suitable for China, which is exactly the same as the purpose of mutual aid. I think that a constitution must be established by a monarch, and a monarch must have a constitution. These four words cannot be added or subtracted.”

When Yuan's situation was dying, the imperial system had been abolished, and Yang Du, who first advocated the imperial system, naturally became the target of public criticism.As early as before Yuan was ill, on April 12, Yang Du resigned from the post of participating in politics, and his resignation letter was as follows: "...prepare to participate in politics for a year. Although I try my best to exhaust my enthusiasm, it will not help the overall situation. The overturning of the world is like the waves of the vast sea. This identity is clear, always like the moon in the sky. With Bismarck's overbearing talent To rule the chaotic country in Mexico, even if you want to save the world, you are finally powerless. The rumors are frightening, and you compare yourself to Duke Zhou, return to Zhi Haoran, and sympathize with Mencius. All the reasons for resignation are justified and submitted to the President Jun Jian!"

Later, some people with good deeds changed the number of this report and published it in the newspaper: "Prepare to participate in politics for one year. Although I try my best, it will not help the monarchy. After all, justice is obvious. I am poor at flattering horses, and I regret my conscience. I have no such talent as Bismarck. I envy you Germanic Chancellor, now that he intends to flatter him, he has no blessing to be made public in the end. Rumors are terrified, and stealing is inevitable. He returns to his lofty ideals and sympathizes with Tutuo. All the reasons for resignation due to repentance, I would like to invite the great emperor to learn from him!"

In fairness, Yang's political views are out of fashion, but he is not a politician who turns clouds and storms and opportunistically.Since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he has always advocated the constitution of the monarchy. He is more principled than Liang Qichao and Zhang Taiyan in terms of political integrity.If it is said that the Chou'an Society is a chaotic order of the evil of the king, Yang Du is only acting on the orders of Yuan's father and son. If Yuan Ru has no intention of being an emperor, how can Yang Du forcefully put the crown on Yuan's head? !

Since the abolition of the imperial system, the secret agents who framed the Kuomintang in the past suddenly took on the new task of monitoring the culprit of the imperial system.The theory of punishing the six gentlemen of the Preparatory Committee to thank the world is very popular.The high-ranking officials wanted everyone to run away when the disaster came, and they left Beijing one after another to seek refuge.The newspaper reported that Yang Du fled in fear of crime. This is to underestimate Yang. He has been sitting in his private apartment in Fengsheng Hutong, living a miserable life amidst the sound of debt collection. Ask for house repairs.

On May 1, a Beijing-Tianjin "Times" reporter interviewed Yang Du. Yang was still talking about the general situation, as usual.The reporter described Yang with a calm attitude and a firm meaning in his words.Yang said: "Although the political movement failed, the political views have never changed. I am still a person who advocates 'constitutional monarchy to save the country' through and through. I cannot add or subtract a single word. Ten years ago, when I was in Japan, Sun and Huang advocated a republic. I wrote an article against it. I believe that the republic is a disease, the monarch is a medicine stone, and the people hide their diseases and avoid medical treatment. , He changed again and again, but I always stick to my position. But our friendship has not changed.... I should take full responsibility for the issue of the national system, neither entrusting others to others, nor escaping the crime far away....The newspaper reported that I have 'Fleeing', you see if I have fled, once the official government is established, I am willing to go to court to stand trial....Let's take a step back, different political opinions are also the rights that the people of the Republic should have."

The order to punish the culprit of the imperial system was issued on July 14 in the name of President Li Yuanhong.There are only eight people on the list of culprits, namely Yang Du, Sun Yuyun, Gu Ao, Liang Shiyi, Xia Shoutian, Zhu Qiqian, Zhou Ziqi, and Xue Dake.It turned out that this list was revised and supplemented several times. The National Defense Army proposed that the list of culprits was 13. Later, people called these 13 "Thirteen Taibao". Xiehe, Hu Ying, plus "Hong Xian's seven murderers" Zhu Qiqian, Duan Zhigui, Zhou Ziqi, Liang Shiyi, Zhang Zhenfang, Lei Zhenchun, Yuan Naikuan.To be honest, how could only these 13 people be allowed to participate in imperial activities, but the National Defense Army believes that Yuan is the chief culprit, and the giant is dead, so there is no need to be too involved, as long as they are punished symbolically, so as to explain to the people of the whole country That's it. Although it is only symbolic, because the culprit of the imperial system has a flesh and blood relationship with them in Beiyang, the decision on the list is very difficult. Logically, the so-called culprits should be state criminals who changed the state system and caused civil strife. However, when the Beijing government was researching the list of culprits, Yuan Keding first sent an urgent call from Zhangde to plead for Lei Zhenchun and Zhang Zhenfang.So these two names were removed from the list; then Feng Guozhang called from Nanjing to plead for Duan Zhigui, while Li Jingxi tried his best to protect Yan Fu and Liu Shipei, emphasizing that these two people are rare talents in modern times, so these two people were missing from the list Three; someone suggested to Duan Qirui that Li Xiehe and Hu Ying used to be members of the Tongmenghui. In order to show goodwill for the Kuomintang, there is no need to include people from the Kuomintang on the wanted list, so two more people were missing; finally, because Yuan Naikuan is Yuan Shikai's family As a result, only Yang Du and Sun Yuyun remained in the "Six Gentlemen", and only Zhu Qiqian, Zhou Ziqi, and Liang Shiyi, the leaders of the transportation department, remained in the "Seven Ominous".The original list of the so-called Thirteen Taibao has become the "Fifth Taibao".When deciding on the list of five culprits, someone also interceded for Liang Shiyi, saying: "If you join this person, there will be a great panic in the financial world. It is better to keep him to raise funds for the government in the future." Li Yuanhong didn't agree, he was angry Said: "Then, we might as well not issue orders to punish the culprit!" As the names of the culprits on the list became less and less, the Beijing government itself felt that it could not explain it, so it reluctantly added Gu Ao, Xia Shoutian, and Xue Dake as three non-chief elements.To be honest, there are countless culprits at hand, if Gu Ao and the other three are counted, this list can reach 500 people.Therefore, punishing the culprit is only perfunctory on the part of the Beijing government, and the arrest warrant is also wanted but not arrested.Before the arrest warrant was issued, Yang Du and Sun Yuyun fled to Tianjin, and Liu Shipei moved from his private residence outside Xihua Gate to the French Hospital. Later, knowing that he was not on the list, he and Yan Futong went to Li Yuanhong's residence to express their thanks.Yang Du is in Tianjin, living at No. 8 Qingming Terrace, Tianjin.At that time, some people ridiculed that "one sheep drove three afternoons", the sheep pointed to Yang Du, and the three afternoons were Wei Wuzhuang, Duanwu Bridge, and Xia Wuyi.In Tianjin, Yang repeatedly wanted to go to Beijing to surrender, but was blocked by his family members. Two renegade Kuomintang members, one is Sun Yuyun and the other is Hu Ying.Since the failure of the second revolution, Sun and Hu have either died or fled. They feel that the Kuomintang has no hope of recovery, and they are trying to find their own way of life.After the founding of the Anhui, Sun Zi said that "severe illness will never kill you, and you will never die from a catastrophe", so he converted to Buddhism, invited two great masters, Dixian and Xianzhu, to give lectures, and planned to open a Buddhist university, and introduced Dixian to Tuancheng and Tuancheng. Yuan Keding met.Yuan Keding said: "Because of being sick, I have learned a lot from reading Buddhist scriptures while I am sick." Di Xian said: "Young master will be very expensive in the future, please cherish this body and save it for the world. The law of the world and the law of the world are naturally harmonious." Yuan said : "If there is a day in the future, I will do my best for Buddhism." Before the national system voted, Sun wrote "Opposing the Hereditary Presidential Conference", which was the third article of the Six Gentlemen.After the wanted order to punish the culprit was issued, Sun had already gone to Tianjin, and it was rumored that Sun attempted suicide on Tianjin Erqi Road. Hu Ying is Song Jiaoren's fellow villager, a native of Taoyuan, Hunan, and a native of Changsha Jingzheng School.Before the Revolution of 1911, he was a revolutionary fighter who regarded death as home. He was the one who conspired with Wu Yue to bomb the five ministers; he was the first to join the Yisi League when it was established;His accent is like Taoyuan dialect but not like Taoyuan dialect, like Hubei dialect but not like Hubei dialect, like Sichuan dialect but not like Sichuan dialect.As for his identity, sometimes he is a revolutionary, sometimes a soldier, and sometimes a politician.He is a person who is used to going to extremes. He is revolutionary to the extreme, and he wants to be revolutionary even in prison, and he is also reactionary to the extreme. He is willing to be the culprit of the monarchy.He lives in Shifuma Street in Beijing.His misfortune is that he must die if he is a revolutionary party, and he must die if he joins the Preparatory Committee. What is especially unfortunate is that now he has met his opponent—Wu Bingxiang, the chief of the Beijing Police Department. spy on him. Yan Fu, a well-known scholar among the Six Gentlemen, participated in the Chou An Meeting in a daze. Yang Du was the only one to speak out, and his name was published in the newspaper the next day, and he was impressively among the sponsors of the Chou An Meeting.But after that, the notices of the preparatory meeting came to the door one or two times. He neither moved to the meeting nor denied the list, but just ignored it.When Liang Qichao published the sensational article "Issues of Different National Styles", Yuan wanted to use him to write a brilliant article, so he sent Xia Wuyi to come to the door to live with a huge sum of money, but this time he touched Yan's temper wrongly, and he replied indifferently. Said: "I'm old, I'm not afraid of anything, and I can't write articles. Please ask someone else to be smart!" When his old friend Lin Shu saw that he was listed in the Security Council, he came running out of breath, and asked him, "Youling, why did you do such a thing? Regardless of whether the Yuan family succeeds or fails, you are not worth it!" Said calmly: "It's irrelevant, let them make trouble!" Lin said: "You should deny it!" Yan said casually: "It doesn't matter if you don't deny it!" , The arrest order for the culprit was also issued, and Lin Youling ran over with a pale face and said, "Youling, you want to leave Beijing!" Yan still said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't leave." If you want to go to jail, you can’t do anything to save your old friends.” Yan said: “If it’s a misfortune, I can’t escape. I’m old and I’m not afraid of anything. I didn’t write the article, it’s all done by them. Right and wrong can be revealed in the end. It’s best to let it go.” The strict and full-fledged Chinese scholar has a strange temper, is old and stubborn, and is more virtuous than the young boy who worries about gains and losses and is timid.When others praised Kang and Liang as prophets, Yan said: "These two are the ones who mistakenly clean up the house, and those who mistake the people's lives are also these two people. In the dying years of Cixi, if Kang and Liang do not adopt a radical attitude, Guangxu will end." The reform can be carried out smoothly, because Kang was too enthusiastic, and his death became a tragedy of betraying the king and friends. In the end, Kang fled alone, Shi Shiran pretended to be a loyal minister and a man of lofty ideals, which was shameless. I will not hesitate to declare war on me yesterday and today.” After Yuan’s death, someone asked Yan, “If Li and Huangpi are righted, the world will be at peace.” Yan said, “No, no, no, Huangpi has more than enough virtue but not enough talent.” His eccentricity is Joyful antiphonation, what people like and dislike, and what people dislike and like! Another famous scholar among the Six Gentlemen is Liu Shipei.Liu Shipei, courtesy name Zhongmu, was born in Yizheng, Jiangsu. He was born in a scholarly family.In fact, he has real talents.In the early years, he and Zhang Binglin organized the "Guo Quintessence Journal" to advocate revolution, and reunited with Zhang Chuangguang, and then fled to Japan.His wife is He Ban (later renamed He Zhen), the younger sister of He Jialu in Yangzhou, who is a romantic and social figure.When the two couples fled to Japan, Liu, Zhang Binglin, and Tao Chengzhang had some disagreements. Because they were not used to the hard life of exile, they urged their husbands to go back.Liu is a nerd, frightened by the prestige of his wife, but also unable to bear the influence of infiltration, so he is becoming more and more estranged from the revolutionaries day by day, so everyone said in unison: Liu Guanghan is a captive of his wife and has become a lackey of the Qing Dynasty.Both had disagreements, and Zhang Binglin and others also accused Liu of relegation from time to time. Liu Nai gave up his party members and went back to China in his clothes.After returning to the country, he entered the Duanfang shogunate, the governor of Liangjiang. Zhang Binglin wrote a letter to reprimand Liu, but Liu felt guilty and did not reply.After Duanfang resigned from office, Liu was at a loss, so he went to Sichuan to be a lecturer at the Academy of Chinese Studies.After the Revolution of 1911, Duan Fang was ordered to lead troops into Sichuan and was killed in Zizhou. The revolutionaries in Central Sichuan believed that Liu Shipei was an old Duan Fang and wanted to put him to death.Upon hearing the news, Zhang Binglin sent an urgent telegram to thank Tianxing and others for their rescue, with sincere words.Zhang Dianyun: "... In the past, Yao Shaoshi said to Chengzu: On the day of the city, don't kill Fang Xiaoru, kill Xiaoru, and the seeds of reading are dead! Today's culture is replaced, poetry and books are withered, one or two talents, such as Liu Guanghan's generation, although they are small. Flaws should not be discussed in depth, if you stick to the party's views, think about revenge, and kill one person is of no benefit to China, and literature has since been wiped out, and Yu Yu has been reduced to barbarian descendants, who is responsible?" After Liu Huozhang was rescued, he left for Shanxi. Later, because of Cai Yuanpei's care, he was able to teach at Peking University.In the 4th year of the Republic of China, he was appointed by Yuan Shikai as a consultant for the presidential palace, editor, reviewer, counselor, political participant, and doctor of the Ministry of Education.After he was listed in the Preparatory Committee, he published "National Conditions" to advocate the monarchy.But he is really a miserable person. His first backer (Duan Fang) fell down, and his second backer (Yuan Shikai) also fell down. The private house was moved to the French hospital.Thanks to Li Jingxi's words, he was removed from the list of "culprits of the imperial system", so he invited Yan Futong to Li's residence in Dongchang Hutong to thank him, but Li did not meet. Liu Wei's wife is like a tiger, and he can be called a master of fear. Because Zhang Ji (Pu Quan) described it, it is simply amazing.It is said that when Zhang Ji was living in Beijing, one night Liu Shuan hid himself in panic, panting, and suddenly there was a knock on the door urgently. Liu sadly told Zhang: My wife must be here, what should I do?I must hide.While talking, he crawled under the bed, curled up and did not dare to move.Zhang went out to open the door, but it was another guest.Laughing out loud at this, he rushed back to the bedroom and dragged Liu out. Liu dared not again and again, thinking that Zhang had lied to him. In Liu’s "Zuo Jiao Poetry Collection", there was a poem "The Story of Shu Yang Xiong" in the Five Ancients: "Gou Meng will not write again, the Six Classics Qin Huoyu, born of Yang Ziyun, who lived near Chengdu. The literary poor classic grave, Tou Baiqin wrote books...Although he did not understand the holy way, he also promoted Confucianism. Ziyang made the compendium, pens were cut and verbal criticism, but according to the new article of the United States, he added Dr. Mang. Alcoholic and small, is Han Zi’s language sparse? Confucianism in the Song Dynasty made a fuss, so there is nothing wrong with it? I read Yang Zi’s book, and I want to visit Yang Ziju, but the people of Sri Lanka are dead today, and I am hesitant.” This poem is to defend Yang Xiong’s falsehood. It's also defending myself. Although the collection is an old work by You Chuan, people say it is a work to ridicule after the failure of the imperial system. Before Liu's death, he said regretfully, "I should spend my whole life discussing studies and not politics..." In fact, his books "Fa Wei of Guoxue", "History of Academics in the Late Qing Dynasty", "Collected Works of Zuo Jiao", " Books such as "Reading Zuo's Notes", "Dissertation Shi Ji", "History of Medieval Literature", etc., are all authentic and passable.In the early winter of the eighth year of the Republic of China, he fell ill. Before he died, someone invited Huang Jigang to come to his bed, handed him a copy of "Phonology", and said with a sob: "This is what I have studied all my life. , this study should not be passed on to the public, it can be regarded as my dying wish for self-redemption!" Huang Jigang was greatly moved by these last words, and he was no longer limited by his age and class. He knelt down and kowtowed, and performed a grand ceremony of apprenticeship. Lin good story. Among the six gentlemen, Li Xiehe is the most depressed.After the Announcement of the Preparatory Committee was published, Gong Xianyao, who claimed that he was a veteran of the Guangfu Army, accused Li of taking the army's salary into his own pocket; No end, that is to say, hand it over to the Military and Political Law Enforcement Office and the infantry commander and put him to death" and other words.When Li Zheng was "healing his head for a headache", he also wanted to "heal his foot for a sore foot". It turned out that the newspaper had awarded him the fourth-class Jiahe medal. For this move, please punish the six gentlemen to thank the world.At that time, Li Huo was as famous as He Zhenxiong, who did not evade the punishment of the axe. Public opinion said that the people from Hunan were the first to initiate the monarchy, and the people from Hunan were also the first to oppose the monarchy. They are both brothers, but their routes are different. Among the six gentlemen, only Yang Du and Sun Yuyun are the culprits of the imperial system.The other six are Gu Ao, Liang Shiyi, Xia Shoutian, Zhu Qiqian, Zhou Ziqi, Xue Dake. Gu Ao, born in Sichuan, went to Japan to study in the 31st year of Guangxu, majored in political economy at Meiji University, and served in the legal circle after returning to China.After Wang Zhaoming and Huang Fusheng were arrested in Beijing for plotting to assassinate the regent, Gu Ao and Zhang Jiaxiang undertook the case and defended it secretly.After the founding of the Republic of China, he worked as a lawyer in Beijing. In the 2nd year, the political conference was established, and Gu served as the secretary general.During the preparatory period for the Hongxian monarchy, Yuan appointed Gu as the director of the Code Group.Gu Sui drafted most of Hong's constitutional codes, so Gu Sui was able to be listed as the culprit of the imperial system.After the Northern Expedition, Gu followed Yang Du to join Du Yuesheng in Shanghai as a diner, and was listed as a lawyer in his apartment on Taoerfusi Road.The business was not good, and in the end he changed to an antique brokerage business and no longer operated in the political circle. Liang Shiyi was a prominent figure of the Beiyang faction in Yuan Shikai's era. In Yuan Shikai's government in the early years of the Republic of China, he was really under one man and above ten thousand people. There are so many, even Yuan's old friend Xu Shichang can't hold a candle to him.Yuan Yuan served as the president, and Liang was the secretary-general of the presidential palace, holding the power of diplomacy, finance, and transportation.Since the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications were controlled by Liang, there was an organization of the Department of Communications, which was an important political group in the Beiyang government in the early Republic of China.During the preparations for the Hongxian Monarchy, Liang initiated the "National Petition" as an action organization for persuasion, which replaced the Preparatory Committee in one fell swoop.However, some people said that Liang did not approve of the imperial system and was forced to participate and be manipulated by others. Liang was declared the culprit of the imperial system and never defended it.No matter under what circumstances Liang Shiyi participated in Hong Xian, he would always bear great responsibility for Yuan Shikai's career and reputation. Xia Shoutian, courtesy name Wuyi, was born in Xiangtan, Hunan. He was a fellow villager and classmate with Yang Du. He was a disciple of Wang Xiangqi.In the 24th year of Guangxu, he was the second Jinshi in Yijia, and was once an aide of Duanfang.He followed Yuan Shikai and was highly regarded. In October 2, Yuan became the President, and Xia was the Deputy Minister of Civil Affairs. In May 3, the State Council was abolished, and the Political Affairs Hall was set up in the Presidential Palace.After Yuan's death, Xia became the culprit of the imperial system, lived in hiding in the Tianjin Concession, and later went to Shanghai, where he became a diner of the son of the Jewish tycoon Ha Tong.In his later years, he believed in Buddhism and was ordained in Gushan, Fuzhou. Zhu Qiqian, styled Guixin, was born in Zijiang, Guizhou. In the 31st year of Guangxu, the Qing court established a patrol department, and Zhu served as the Chief of the Patrol Department in the outer city of Beijing.Minyuan successively served as the Chief of Communications in the cabinets of Lu Zhengxiang and Zhao Bingjun.Zhao Bingjun resigned because of being implicated in the assassination of Song Jiaoren, and Zhu Zeng served as acting prime minister for two days.When Xiong Xiling formed the cabinet, he was the chief of internal affairs, and in February 3, he was also the chief of transportation. In September 4th, during the preparatory period for the Hongxian monarchy, Yi Zhu concurrently served as the director of the "Grand Ceremony Preparatory Office".After being listed as the culprit of the imperial system, the wanted order was canceled until 7 years.Later, Zhu was once appointed as the general representative of the North during the North-South peace talks during the tenure of President Xu Shichang.Since then, he withdrew from the political arena and lived in Tianjin. He is the author of "Li Zhongming's Construction of French Style" and "Cun Su Tang Silk Embroidery Record". Zhou Ziqi, courtesy name Zizhen, was born in Shanxian County, Shandong Province.Born in Beijing Tongwenguan, he went to study in the United States.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Tingfang, who succeeded Wu Tingfang, acted as the envoy to the United States in the name of counselor.He once negotiated with the United States to return the Boxer indemnity of 12 million U.S. dollars.In March of the Republic of China, he served as the governor of Shandong, in August of 2020, as the president of the Bank of China, and in September as the chief of communications of Xiong Xiling's cabinet. In 3 years, he served as the Chief Financial Officer and also supervised the Salt Administration. In April 4th, he succeeded Zhang Jian as Chief of Agriculture and Commerce, and in May of 5th, he was reinstated as Chief of Finance.He was a financial celebrity in the Yuan Dynasty, and because of this, he was listed as the culprit of the imperial system. Xue Dake, courtesy name Ziqi, was born in Yiyang, Hunan, studied in Japan, was a member of the Tongmenghui, and was arrested in Shanghai for the revolution.After the founding of the Republic of China, he worked as a journalist in Beijing. In the spring of the second year of the Republic of China, he was elected as a member of the House of Representatives.When he was preparing for the security incident, he got to know Yang Du, and Yang Du asked him to publish a "Asian Newspaper", which was dedicated to advocating the monarchy.Before and after Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, Yuan Keding and Yang Du forged the "Shuntian Times" and published news of support from various places for Yuan Guo. It is said that Xue Congzhong did it because "Shuntian Times" used Japanese characters, which were imitated by other printing companies. No, but Xue Ziqi's "Asia News" is located in Housun Park, and "Suntian Times" is located in Xinhuamen Street, which are very close to each other, so Xue can spend money every day to buy typeface from "Suntian Times", and publish in "Asia News" Typesetting and printing into a fake "Shuntian Times", which is exclusively for Yuan to read every day.Yuan sees all false news from this fake newspaper every day, so Xue Yi can be said to be a key player in the Hongxian monarchy movement.It is said that Xue was also responsible for intimidating Huang Yuansheng and Liu Shaoshao, the well-known journalists at the time. "Asian News" had set up a branch in Shanghai two months before Yuan Dengji. Zeng denies it in the newspaper, and then fled abroad. How did he know that after he arrived in the United States, he was bombed to death by patriotic overseas Chinese as a remnant of the imperial system; Liu Shaoshao never joined the Asia News.The Shanghai branch of this "Asian Newspaper" was bombed by patriots on the second day after the newspaper was published, scaring the staff from going to work, and the newspaper died soon after.Xue Ziqi and the Hongxian Monarchy are nothing more than that, compared to those important military and political figures of the Hongxian Monarchy, they can only be regarded as little witches. After Xue Ziqi was listed as the culprit, he still lived in Beijing. When Zhang Zuolin entered the customs and became the generalissimo of the old capital, Xue was active for a while, and then disappeared.After Xue and Gu were listed as the culprits of the imperial system, some people with good intentions combined the names of "Gu Ao and Xue Dake" to ask for a couplet.
