Chapter 117 Variation - ten times more talented

Before the victory of Kang Youwei, he wrote tens of thousands of words, talked about current affairs, and wrote "Xinxue Apocrypha" to shock and despise Confucianism. At that time, the kings and princes and the crowd shocked his name, thinking that Xuanni was resurrected, so they called Kang Shengren.The victory of Li Wei, the greater the reputation, the emperor Guangxu also heard about the false voice, and he will be promoted in no time.Weng Tonghe peeped at Shangyi, and tried his best to protect Kang Youwei, saying that "his talent is ten times better than his ministers".I was also afraid that there might be a violation of the rules in the future, so I added words such as "whether people's minds are different from the beginning to the end, and I dare not know deeply", thinking that such words can not be tolerated.

After the Eight-Power Allied Forces captured Beijing, they publicly humiliated the princes and ministers who had no time to escape. For example, Prince Su Shanqi, Yushi Chen Bi and others were forced to pick up dung and stones.At that time, Huaitabu was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and was the in-law of the Empress Dowager Cixi. He was used to pull the cart. A foreign devil sat on the cart, holding the rein, and from time to time beat his back with a whip in his hand, making crackling noises. Huai Shangshu turned his head and smiled Said: "Don't hit the old man. The villain runs this road several times a day, so he won't pull the wrong place."

After the "Xin Chou Treaty", the Qing government issued a "crime edict" and began to implement reforms, almost completely implementing the new laws of Kangliang.Instead of stopping privilege, the reform expanded privilege, and the expansion of privilege led to the deepening of corruption.Sun Yat-sen said at the time: "The mere introduction of railways or any such measures of European material civilization will only make things worse because they open up new avenues for extortion, embezzlement and theft." Liang Bi studied at the Tokyo Non-commissioned Officer Academy and saw the fierceness of the revolution. When he returned, he said to the Manchu boss: "Don't be afraid, these people give them tens of thousands of gold and silver every month, and give them a hat, and they will shut up." The old Yuan Shikai is also an expert in dealing with personnel affairs, and his habit is to use money to pave the way. Huang Yuanyong therefore said that Yuan Shikai was Liangbi's apprentice.Huang's coachman quarreled with a cart driver on the street, and the patrolman on guard said, "Come on, come on, you know? This is the era of the Republic, and everyone is dealing with it." Huang thought that the idea of ​​dealing with it was also a manifestation of authoritarian education, and said that the patrolman was a Yuan Shikai's apprentice.

After Yuan Shikai became president, he strongly advocated respecting Confucius. He said, "Confucius's way is as old as ever, and it is as inseparable as cloth, silk, bean and millet." Since 1913, he has continuously issued orders and regulations on respecting Confucius and reading scriptures, ordering the whole country to resume worshiping Confucius. In September 1914, he led all civil and military officials to worship Confucius at the Confucian Temple, and in December, to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven. When Yan Fu was young, he was very worried about the incompetence of the Qing government. He often said to people: "In less than 30 years, the vassals will be exhausted, and I will be like an old man." The "New Deal" facilities can "enrich the country and strengthen itself", and they are very dissatisfied with the Westernization Movement.Li Hongzhang "suffers from its intenseness, but it is not close."Since then, it has not been reused.When the Qing government was about to fall, in 1909, in order to win over social celebrities, the Qing court granted Yan Fu a liberal arts Jinshi background. In 1910, the Ministry of the Navy specially granted him the title of Xiedutong, and he was also recruited as a member of the Senior Council. In 1911, he was awarded the First Class Staff Officer of the Navy.Yan Fu's eldest son, Yan Zhu, was also promoted to a senior official with the rank of second rank.The relationship between his family and the Qing court became closer, and he therefore held a negative attitude towards the revolution.After the Revolution of 1911, he missed the Qing Dynasty, and often made remarks to slander the revolution, believing that the Chinese people's "knowledge is not suitable for a republic".

In 1915, after Yuan Shikai implemented the monarchy, Xu Shichang asked to resign.When Yuan persuaded him to sponsor him, he said: "You must leave some room for maneuver when it comes to major events. If your relatives are involved in the game, if things don't go well, no one will speak as an outsider to try to make things better. At this time Begging to go, not for my own sake." Then he retreated to Shuizhu Village, Huixian County, Henan Province.After Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he was named one of the "Four Friends of Songshan". After the failure of the Kangliang Revolution, Kang Youwei became more and more conservative, from political revolution to constitutional monarchy, then back to royalism, and to demanding that Confucianism be made the state religion. He admitted: "I traveled to Mexico without daring to talk about democracy and republic, and I traveled to India without Dare to say that the revolution will stand on its own.”
