Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The Man in the Palace

Yuan Shikai's attack on the palace was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese, and it was also completely beyond the expectations of the Chinese officials stationed in North Korea. The Japanese were stunned and didn't know how to deal with it. Chinese officials at all levels stationed in North Korea were also dazed, holding meetings and quarreling, scolding Yuan Shikai for being a fool, a fool, for attacking the palace and massacring Japanese soldiers, which would bring big troubles to the court! Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato defended Yuan Shikai, saying: However, Shikai had a lot of deep meaning in making such a violent move.

What's the meaning? Mr. Sato explained: Assuming that the Qing was defeated and the Japanese won, the Sino-Japanese War was moved to eleven years ago... Tetsujiro Sato meant: Yuan Shikai's action has postponed the date of the decisive battle between the Chinese and Japanese navies for eleven years. If Yuan Shikai hadn't entered the palace and expelled the Japanese, then Japan's plan to annex China would have been advanced by ten years. one year. Yuan Shikai ruined the good things of the Japanese. It's not over yet, he did another thing that made everyone outraged. He moved into the palace to live, just a wall away from the couches of King Li Xi and Concubine Min.

After living in the palace, another strange thing happened. He moved in at night, and when he came out the next morning, his black hair had turned white. This old man with white hair is really pitiful, Yixi is a beautiful young man with three thousand feet of white hair, the reason is a worry, how did Yuan Shikai make himself into a non-mainstream? Someone asked him: You are so young, why is your hair all white? Yuan Shikai replied: I just like to play, and when I play, my hair turns white (Shikai was a young boy who traveled far away from home, so his hair is all white)... Later historians conducted research around the strange incident of Yuan Shikai's graying overnight. Wu Zixu's head turned gray overnight when he passed Zhaoguan. It was because he would be beheaded if he couldn't pass. ?

There really are! Yuan Shikai's Zhaoguan is the handling of state affairs. Ever since Yuan Shikai moved into the palace, he took over all the government affairs of North Korea.Every day, he sat in the center of the palace in a grand manner, holding a sword in one hand and a pen in the other. Administrative officials at all levels poured in like a tide and reported to him one by one. Arrange specific implementation steps. He was only twenty-six years old this year, and his physiology had just matured for a few days. He had to handle the government affairs of the entire country at a young age, and he had to handle everything properly, which exhausted his brains. cell?It would be weird if the hair wasn't white.

In short, he regards himself as the overlord of North Korea. Yuan Shikai squeezed into the palace, which stunned the ministers of various countries stationed in South Korea. Then the United States sent a note to the Qing Dynasty, hoping to find out what the Chinese living in the palace was doing: In order to make a note of the meeting, the Minister received permission from the outside of the country to inquire about the surname of Yuan and the official position of the Chinese embassy in North Korea.It is heard that in this country, no matter what official meetings the ministers stationed in Gaoting have, they are willing to discuss with them, but they send the envoys they use to go there.According to the English translation, the official title used is minister in charge, and this country will have a document to know its minister in Gao in this matter, so I asked to refer to the staff sent by China to Gao, whether it is the minister in charge or the second or third class imperial envoy. Hope to reply immediately, check and implement.

The Americans couldn't figure out what Yuan Shikai was doing in his palace. King Li Xi was also very puzzled. In order to clarify this serious problem, Li Xi gave it to Yuan Shikai's three wives in one go. Why did Li Xi give it to Yuan Shikai's wife?And one gift is three? According to the Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato: Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, and Concubine Min, who is unparalleled in beauty, was grateful to Yuan Shikai for saving her life, and admired Yuan Shikai's heroic demeanor, so she agreed with her body.Yuan Shikai pretended to decline, and accepted this beautiful gift with a smile.

In order to deceive others and at the same time find a reason for frequent trysts to open rooms, Concubine Min came up with a clever plan to give her sister to Yuan Shikai, so she went to Yuan Shikai for the excuse of visiting her sister every day. When the passion was raging, unfortunately, Concubine Min's younger sister rushed in and held her down... Concubine Min's younger sister was so jealous that she would not allow Yuan Shikai to have any more love with Concubine Min.Concubine Min was very angry, and the consequences were serious, so Concubine Min secretly colluded with Yuan Shikai's eldest wife, Mrs. Shen, tied Concubine Min's younger sister to the leg of the table, and beat her with a feather duster...Don't you dare to let me sleep with your husband? Damn you...

This legend has nose and eyes, but one detail is seriously distorted. Concubine Min is an orphan and has no younger sister at all. In fact, the girl who was presented to Yuan Shikai was the younger sister of another concubine in the palace, Concubine Jin. It is probably Concubine Min's idea to present this stunningly beautiful girl to Yuan Shikai. She certainly does not want another girl younger and more beautiful than her to appear in the palace and take away her favor... The involvement of so many young and beautiful women shows that Yuan Shikai's life in North Korea has no longer been a tense armed conflict, but has entered an era of diplomatic warfare.The diplomatic battles feature intrigues, and women are essential in the process.

This hidden war will last for eleven years.
