Chapter 76 Chapter 9

Before Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, he was protected by the Thirteenth Taibao, and the Thirteenth Taibao had names and surnames, as we all know.But when Yuan Shikai failed to proclaim himself emperor and the culprits were investigated, only eight people were investigated, and among the eight people, only five were listed in the roster of the Thirteen Taibao. These five people are the unluckiest unlucky ones in the Republic era.Two of the five came from the camp of the Six Gentlemen, namely Yang Du and Sun Yuyun.There are three other people from Hong Xian's Seven Murders Organization, namely Liang Shiyi, Zhu Qiqian, and Zhou Ziqi.

The Thirteenth Taibao only investigated five people, why didn't the remaining eight people pursue it? This is because my ancient Chinese country has a great culture, and the most popular thing is intercession. Four of the six gentlemen were not prosecuted because of the "short master" Yan Fu and the national teacher Liu Shipei. These two people had Li Hongzhang's younger brother's son Li Jingxi interceded for them, saying that they wanted to preserve the fire of culture. They are university scholars. We can't bully cultural people.With such an explanation, Yan Fu and Liu Shipei were exempted from being held accountable.

There are two remaining of the six gentlemen, "Chengji" Hu Ying and "Li Guinian" Li Xiehe.Duan Qirui interceded for these two people.Duan Qirui said: Did you make a mistake?Both Hu Ying and Li Xienian are from the Revolutionary Party, and the Revolutionary Party has many, many friends.Now that you have pursued them, the Revolutionary Party should never end with you again.It's better to calm down and pretend that nothing happened. The Six Gentlemen only pursued one-third, and the rest fled.As for Hong Xian's seven murderers, there were only three of them, Liang Shiyi, Zhu Qiqian and Zhou Ziqi.The other four were also saved from disaster because of someone interceding.

Feng Guozhang interceded for Duan Zhigui, and Yuan Keding interceded for Lei Zhenchun and Zhang Zhenfang.Yuan Keding said, these two people are my relatives, and they are helping me by running for the imperial system. Since you don't even pursue me, you are pursuing my relatives, why?That being said, there is really no way to pursue it. There is also a housekeeper, Yuan Naikuan, although no one interceded for him, but you have put up all your strength to find trouble with an old housekeeper. This matter is as shameful as it sounds, so Yuan Naikuan was not held accountable. In this way, four of the six gentlemen were not prosecuted, and four of the seven murderers were not prosecuted.There are already few people on the list and it is not in shape.At this juncture, countless people acted bravely and interceded for Liang Shiyi, the director of the Department of Communications, saying: Liang Shiyi must never be held accountable. You hold him accountable. If he gets angry, there will be big troubles in the financial world.

Li Yuanhong, who was in charge of national affairs at the time, was in a hurry and said: This is not over yet. There are not many people on the list, and now there are only five people left. If you continue to break down one by one like this, what will be left in the end? The intercede was furious: Fatty Li, I came to you for business to save face.It's not impossible for you to punish the culprit, but who can avoid being stabbed in the rivers and lakes?Today it is you, Fatty Li, who punishes others, and tomorrow it will be someone else's turn to punish you, Fatty Li.I suggest you take care of yourself, save a way out, and send a sum of money to each of the people on the list, and after they take their wives and children to Japan, Europe and the United States, you can arrest them again, okay?

Li Yuanhong cried: "It's good, but the number is too small. I'm afraid that the people will not accept it." The intercessor said: What is the popular heart?Letting Yuan Shikai ascend the throne, isn't it the hearts and lungs of the people?In short, the people's heart is an egg, so ignore him.However, the number of people on the list is too small, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing.That's it, isn't this the Republic of China?The most popular thing in the Republic of China is balloting. I suggest that we vote, and then elect a few people who are the most hated, and put them on the list of culprits. How about it?

This proposal was passed unanimously. In this way, besides the remaining five people on the list, three more brothers were shot while lying down. These three men were named Gu Ao, Xue Dake and Xia Shoutian respectively. Among these three people, Gu Ao and Xue Dake are not well-known, and they were 100% plotted by others.Only this Xia Shoutian did play a small role in Yuan Shikai's proclaiming himself emperor.
