Chapter 159 verse 9 he must die

At night, Yuan Keding hurried to find Duan Qirui with people and lanterns. When he arrived at the door, he knocked on the door and said, "Duan Shibo, Shibo."After a while, I heard a voice coming from the crack of the door: What's the matter, it's in the middle of the night? Yuan Keding said anxiously: "Shi Bo, you open the door, I have something to say when I go in." Duan Qirui inside said: I'm not at home now. Yuan Keding: ... Uncle, please don't... tell you that something serious happened.That guy Feng Guozhang suddenly lost his nerve, and called the generals of the provinces, asking everyone to sign together to oppose the monarchy and punish the culprit.Jiangxi General Li Chun, Zhejiang General Zhu Rui, Shandong General Jin Yunpeng, and Hunan General Tang Xiangming have jointly signed Feng Guozhang's telegram.Feng Guozhang's actions were really ruthless. Fortunately, the telegram was received by Zhu Jiabao and sent to my father in secret. Otherwise, my father would not even know that Feng Guozhang had been cheated to death.

Voice from the door: That's right. Yuan Keding: That's right, Duan Shibo, my father treated you kindly in the past. At critical moments, you should come out and preside over the situation. We can't let Feng Guozhang mess around. Duan Qirui: But I'm not at home now, what do you think about this matter? Yuan Keding: ...you...I...Duan Shibo, can I call you father? After tossing around for most of the night, Duan Qirui refused to open the door, insisting that he was not at home, and his mentality of watching the excitement from the other side was clearly revealed.Yuan Keding was helpless, came back dejectedly, and told Yuan Shikai about it.Yuan Shikai let out a long sigh: Once the friendship of many years wears off, he will be as mischievous as a child.

That night, Yuan Shikai called his secretaries Zhang Yizhen, Zhu Qiqian and others to discuss, and said: Look, the telegram between Feng Guozhang and the five generals is to ask me to abolish the imperial system.I didn't say no, I didn't have the idea of ​​an emperor in the first place, but the environment forced me to sit on the dragon chair. Now that everyone is not happy, let me see, I don't want to sit on it all the time. up. Zhu Qiqian objected, saying: Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not. If the monarchy is abolished, the prestige will be lost, and the officials will dare not obey orders.

Zhang Yiling said: "Old Zhu, don't be ashamed of yourself here, the courtiers will never dare to obey orders, not your size."Yuan Shikai, what is going on right now is obvious. The soldiers are rising in the southwest and the party members are clamoring. It is nothing more than because you have become the emperor.You ignored this matter, so you can't blame others for bullying you.But if they take this opportunity to cancel the monarchy, the other party will have no reason to make trouble anymore, and it will be their fault if they make trouble again.Yuan Shikai, you used to always say that you sacrificed your children and grandchildren only for the sake of the country and the people. You still hear these words in your ears. Why are you still so greedy for the throne?

Yuan Shikai said: You have said this before, and now I only regret not listening to you. The next day, Yuan Shikai called his confidant Liang Shiyi, and they sat opposite each other at a square table with two glasses of water on the table.This secret meeting is an absolute secret meeting. The secret is so secret that neither of them speaks. They dip their fingers in water and write on the table. The tea smears the table, wipes it clean and continues to write, so no one knows what they both wrote. what. At the end of the writing, Yuan Shikai finally spoke. He said: Now that things are up to now, I can only make such a decision, which will be divided into several aspects.Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui were in charge of central government affairs, and Feng Guozhang was in charge of stabilizing the Central Plains military.Please send a telegram to Chen Huan in Sichuan for me, telling him to make peace with Cai E as soon as possible.Then there is Liang Qichao, you have a personal relationship with him, you should contact him more, then go to Kang Youwei, ask him to write a letter, and help Liang Qichao a lot.In a word, if it can make the country stable, I can sacrifice to any extent.

On March 21, 1916, Yuan Shikai announced the abolition of the imperial system. Yuan Shikai is really old and his brain is not enough.He thought everyone was targeting the imperial system, so he abolished the imperial system, but in fact, everyone was targeting him. He must die! For what reason, it doesn't matter.
