Chapter 6 Chapter Seven: The Wind Rises from the Sound of Silk and Bamboo

Autumn 1915.Shanghai. In a quiet courtyard by the Huangpu River, golden osmanthus exhales intoxicating fragrance, yellow leaves are floating in the shade of flowers, Xinyang covers the railings brilliantly, and blooming chrysanthemums compete with golden osmanthus for beauty; The bushes were chirping and jumping around, and there were bursts of melodious sounds of silk and bamboo in the small study room. This is Xu Shuzheng's villa. Xu Shuzheng, the undersecretary of the Ministry of War who was dismissed, was wearing a long gown and a polite headband.With the gold-rimmed glasses clasped in his hands and the teacup in front of him, he leaned back on the rock chair with half-closed eyes, and as the chair rolled back and forth, he listened intently to his new concubine Shen Dinglan singing.The tune is Xu Shuzheng's new "Butterfly Love Flower") Shen Dinglan plays the pipa and sings:

The grass-footed Su Qinghan is still there, moistening the fragrant pool, and the ice on the surface of the pool has just melted.As if the east wind is stingy, slowly blowing warm news and returning fragrance. It's not that Qunhua is impatient.It's a pity Spring Emperor.Weak and rascal.The curtain is as cool as the sea in the evening rain, and Xiaomei leans on the outside of the red railing sadly. At the end of the song, she first pursed her lips and smiled.Then with twinkling eyes, he sat on the armrest of Xu Shuzheng's rolling chair. Xu Shuzheng stopped rocking, looked up and smiled at her and said: "Okay, you sing very well! Rhythm, beat, I sang all my emotions." After a short pause, he said: "It's just that Guixiang The character of Ai is a little lower, it seems that it should be higher. If it is low, it will hurt the song."

Shen Dinglan shook her head.Wen pouted.Ran Qing said, "Why is it so high? I think it's better to be lower. It should be lower." "Why?" Xu Shuzheng asked hurriedly.In the past, when he handed over the new songs he filled out to her, she always practiced singing according to the cards.Never dare to be new.Therefore, Xu Shuzheng was surprised this time. "Look at you. It's ups and downs all day long, and the army is humming. Isn't that high enough? Now, you are no longer an official or leader of the army. You should guard me and live in a small courtyard in a deep house and live a leisurely and peaceful life for a few days. Cough , I really want to be able to grow old in such a low-key manner, peacefully and peacefully, that's what I want!" A few words made Xu Shuzheng's heart ache.He felt disheartened, so he nodded frequently, thinking: "Yes, what Ding Lan said is right. You fight against each other, go through life and death, ups and downs are accompanied by sorrow, sorrow and joy, what kind of life is it? I should really be depressed In a few days, I have lived a life of singing and dancing..." Xu Shuzheng sighed, narrowed his eyes, and gently hugged Shen Dinglan with his hands.Snuggle up tight.

Nineteen-year-old Shen Dinglan.His ancestral home is Huguang.She came to Beijing with her father, and she was regarded as a lady of the official family, a lady of a famous family.The family school made him knowledgeable about books and rituals, and Jinghua's natural treasures made her open-minded.She has long cherished Wang Zhaojun and Hua Mulan's ambition to serve the country.To be a talented person like Cai Wenji and Ban Zhao; to respect Zhuo Wenjun's loyalty, to imitate Xie Daoyun's chant, to become the most perfect woman on the land of China.And two years ago, she admired Xu Shuzheng's talent and name, threw herself into his arms, and became his concubine, poet friend, and chanting companion.Shen Dinglan has a good singing voice, Xu Shuzheng is a great writer of contemporary lyrics, and the husband sings about the woman. At that time, they were famous in Beijing, and the relationship between the two became stronger.Xu Shuzheng lost the Deputy Minister of the Army and brought Shen Dinglan to live in Shanghai alone.I don't want to sing a new song today.Shen Dinglan suddenly felt uneasy when he was depressed.She broke free from Xu Shuzheng's arms and said, "Shuzheng, I just said something inadvertently, but you are so disappointed. From now on, I won't speak lightly."

Xu Shuzheng looked up at Shen Dinglan.Laughed. "Why do you think this way? Because you told the truth, I was suddenly greatly enlightened. Since I feel the same way, I will follow. How can I blame you? Not only do I not blame you, but I also benefit a lot! Don't believe me? Because You Dee, I've got a good poem!" "Really?!" Shen Dinglan turned from worry to joy, and immediately asked in surprise. "Bring a pen and paper, and you will be taught immediately!" Shen Dinglan immediately erased a few cases, took out the four treasures of the study, and rubbed the ink.Spread the paper, and volunteer to take on the job of pulling the paper.

Xu Shuzheng's poetic talent is quick, and he often touches the scene to create emotion.It's a day and a chapter.Today, I don't have any poetry at all, I just want to coax my concubine, but she thinks it's true.Now, I can’t do without writing—he is willing to reveal the embarrassment of "talent lack" in front of anyone, not to mention the cold and hot imbalance in real life, he has already sent out another thought.Therefore, he only pondered for a while, and then wrote a poem called "Qilu" on the paper. Thousands of fragrant flowers withered.Only pride is hard to sell, for example, forbearance and prosperity.Don't pick a few pieces of smoke from the east fence, the autumn wind and autumn rain come every year.But it's not Chunhua who is more pitiful for Yu Fang to stay.Xu Shuzheng put down the pen with a smile.

Shen Dinglan applauded first, admiring her husband's quick poetic talent, but thinking carefully, she felt that the poem inevitably revealed a feeling of sadness and self-admiration.She came here to comment on a few more, but she was afraid of causing him even more disappointment.She just said flatly, "Ah! I understand, you are expressing the feelings of Wanshengyuan!" "How do you know?" Xu Shuzheng asked. "Yesterday, when I was admiring the chrysanthemums in the Wansheng Garden, I heard you humming about the broken and arrogant. Today, the feelings full of paper, don't you fully respond!"

"Okay, even if I let you say it." "Why not? I'm just... don't I understand your mood at this moment? The situation is changing and the world is hot and cold. Who can stand this kind of tossing?" "Okay, okay. You're feeling sentimental again." Xu Shuzheng picked up the pen again, and wrote the title "Looking at Chrysanthemums in the Garden of Ten Thousand Life" before the poem, and then turned his thoughts around.Then he said: "Lan, you can also write a song. I appreciate your chapters." Write it out, and I will send it to Duo Yunxuan tomorrow, and let them frame it properly. "

Shen Dinglan didn't refuse either.She put aside the words Xu Shuzheng had just written, took out another piece of rice paper, dipped the pen in it and wrote: In the mirror, we are younger... Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said: "Let you write it yourself, why are you recording my "Looking Mirror" again?" "If you are in a hurry, then there must be poetry?" Shen Dinglan said: "You treat everyone else as you, and you can do it in seven steps! Sure enough, what kind of talent are you?" "You're right again!" Xu Shuzheng smiled. "Okay, just write." Shen Dinglan continued to write:

And when there is smoke on the picture; Qi Huai sells off and stays in today's ringworm, and a strong year falls to the edge of wine.I regret that I stand out from the crowd, for whom I am grateful for the glory; the merits are not called Fengshen, and I am very sorry for this. Xu Shuzheng didn't come to Shanghai to relax.He can't stay idle.Leave the War Department and calm down for a while.He once calmly looked back at himself.When he relived the life full of fighting and murderous intent, he became anxious: he fell from the glorious pavilion, and Yuan Shikai dismissed him from the post of army deputy minister.It is said that the President wanted to investigate him, and Xu Shuzheng was extremely angry: "How did you, Yuan Shikai, become the President? Did the people elect you?" It's not that I came up with the idea of ​​asking for a republic, you have already become a sinner! Humph, now you are raising your eyebrows. You know, water can carry a boat, and water can also overturn it!" Regarding the current defeat, Xu Shuzheng is not Convinced, he felt capable of changing this situation.He is waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.He originally wanted to use Shanghai as a base to contact the "hegemons" in the south and take action.Today, the concubine was so "revealed" that he seemed to "wake up": "Stop fighting, have a beautiful wife and concubine, have poetry, wine, silk and bamboo, so it's not a lifetime!"

"The garden is full of fun, and the door is set up but always closed." It was when Xu Shuzheng closed his door and thought about his mistakes and pampered himself, Duan Qirui suddenly came to Shanghai from Beijing, and ran straight into Xu Shuzheng's villa without anyone notifying him. Xu Shuzheng asked in surprise, "Why didn't you even tell me when you arrived in Shanghai?" Things that are not four are chasing rumors and making troubles, making people restless." "Aren't you afraid of accidents?" Xu Shuzheng asked people to make tea, handed over the cigarette bag himself, and said, "Shanghai is not a paradise either:" "What are you afraid of?" Duan Qirui said, "As long as Yuan Xiangcheng doesn't kill me, no one else will dare!" After a short pause, he added, "He can't kill Xiangcheng for the time being!" Xu Shuzheng smiled lightly, nonchalantly, and then took a closer look at Duan Qirui.I saw him imitating the style of the Orientals and growing a mustache.But he wore a long gown, a black cape, and a top hat.He wears cloth-soled slippers made in his hometown in Hefei.In his hand, he held a bright cane that was painted copper-colored.That complexion seemed plump compared to when he left Beijing.Xu Shuzheng asked softly, "How are you doing recently?" Duan Qirui answered irrelevantly and said: "Shuzheng, you ran to the Huangpu River to live in an apartment as soon as you slapped your ass, and you made me suffer so much!" Xu Shuzheng said: "No official is so light! President Yuan and Emperor Yuan don't like us, why don't we stay away from him! He doesn't like other people discussing politics. Others will restrain them. It can be regarded as knowledgeable about current affairs. Your Excellency is in Xishan Isn't that quite satisfying?!" "Fart!" Duan Qirui slammed the table and said angrily. "I'm not happy that Yuan Xiangcheng forced me to have a good time! I'm free and happy, and he started to be an imperial court. Isn't it too cheap for him?" ." "This..." Xu Shuzheng was a little confused.originally.Before Xu Shuzheng was dismissed as deputy chief, Duan Qirui "lived in seclusion" in Beijing.He wanted to show Yuan Shikai a "compassion"; when Xu Shuzheng was dismissed from the position of Deputy Minister of the Army, Duan Qirui understood that "that was for me!" and sent Xu Shuzheng away from Beijing.Duan Qirui held his hand tightly.He wanted to forgive him with words, but before he opened his mouth, Xu Shuzheng said angrily: "Yuan Xiangcheng is too vicious! With me, Xu, here, I will never let this generation run amok and harm the country!" Duan Qirui stopped talking.Just slowly and in parallel. --For Yuan Shikai.Duan Qirui's praise is much more than his criticism.Just when he handed over all the affairs of the Ministry of War to Xu Shuzheng, and Xu Shuzheng handled everything very properly.Duan Qirui still has this attitude.One day, he and Xu Shuzheng were walking in the garden and talking about heroes.Duan Qirui said: "Today, people who can be called great talents and heroes are probably Yuan Weiting except Li Songqing." He started his career. Xiang Cheng started his career by cheating people all his life. However, the real Mengjie neither scolded nor lied. Today, Huangpi and Xiangcheng can only be regarded as half heroes when they scold and cheat. Heroes and half. The other half, It belongs to Tugu!" At that time, Duan Qirui could still approve of this evaluation.Now, he feels that Xu Shuzheng has a vision and sees the guide. Seeing that Xu Shuzheng was silent, Duan Qirui took out a worn envelope from his underwear bag, handed it to Xu Shuzheng, and said: "Shuzheng, here is a letter, you can read it." "Whose?" "You can see it at a glance." Xu Shuzheng unfolded the letter and looked at the inscription first.Seeing that it was written by Jiangsu Governor Feng Guozhang to President Yuan Shikai, he only smiled slightly, folded it again, and returned it to Duan Qirui.Said: "Feng Huafu is not a decent person, don't let his dirty language dirty my eyes. Don't look!" "Don't read it?!" Duan Qirui threw the letter to Xu Shuzheng again, and said in a reproachful tone, "Why didn't you read it? We all appreciate the wonderful writing, not to mention that this letter has a lot to do with you and me." "Huh? !"...Xu Shuzheng was startled, took the letter again, and looked at it seriously. Here, a famous, but extremely secret episode is to be narrated.Because, only by understanding this episode, will you understand the inside story of the competition: Although Yuan Shikai regards Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen as his shares, these three people have their own ghosts.Duan Qirui is a native of Hefei, Anhui, and he wants to pull his own Anhui family to become his climate.On the surface, he was loyal to Yuan to the end, but in his heart he wanted to influence Yuan Shikai.Feng Guozhang, a native of Hejian in Zhili, wanted to cultivate a powerful direct lineage force to control Yuan and replace him.However, before "replacing him", everyone has to play Yuan's banner and use Yuan as his backer.At first, Feng Guozhang was highly regarded by Yuan.Since Duan Qirui had Xu Shuzheng beside him.Feng Guozhang gradually "fell out of favor".He's very opinionated about it.When Feng Guozhang came to Beijing to meet with Yuan Shikai for a secret talk, there was such a conversation: Feng said: "Hefei used to be very close to the president. Why are they always hindered recently? I think they did this after listening to other people's slander." Yuan said: "You said it was Xu Shuzheng?" "I think that person is very strange." "Isn't it? Xu Shuzheng still came up with some good ideas for me." "He is from Hefei after all. People call him the soul of Hefei." He is Duan's little fan military adviser. " "Let me think again." "I know this person." Feng Guozhang moved closer to Yuan Shikai.Said: "In spring, I once sent you a letter in secret form. I wonder if you have read it? Do you still remember?" Yuan Shikai closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I remember, I remember. I keep your letter very precious. I think your opinion is reasonable." "I did it after thinking about it. It's also for the great cause of the President." "I understand, I understand!" Now, it fell into the hands of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.It was this "secret letter" from Feng Guozhang.As Xu Shuzheng read it, he muttered in his heart: "Why did this letter fall into Hefei's hands again? Could it be that Yuan Xiangcheng betrayed Feng Huafu? If so, Feng Huafu is not a thing. Yuan Xiangcheng's betrayal of his subordinates is not a thing." Feng Guozhang's letter is nothing more than saying that "Duan and Xu cooperated with each other to control power and to break away from the President; in order to achieve this goal, Duan is no longer as loyal to the President as he used to be."After Xu Shuzheng finished reading, Dan Yan smiled and asked, "How did this letter get into your hands?" "Don't talk about this. Feng Huafu was originally a dog. Now it seems that he is even worse than a dog." "You came to Shanghai for this purpose?" "Of course it's because of this." Duan Qirui said, "Being angry because of a dog is worse than a dog. I don't care about it. There's something big going on!" "What's the big deal?" "Do you know? There is an incident in Yunnan." "I don't know." "Yuan Xiangcheng's heart to be emperor cannot be shaken, but the common people don't agree. Yunnan is the first to declare independence. Cai E organized the national defense army" and sent troops to challenge Yuan.The whole country responded, and launched the National Defense Movement vigorously.Yuan Xiangcheng is having a hard time!" Xu Shuzheng still smiled lightly and said, "This has nothing to do with you and me." "Why not?" Duan Qirui waved his hand and said, "It's very important!" Xu Shuzheng was a little confused: Yuan Xiangcheng wanted to be emperor, and all Chinese people opposed it.For this matter, Duan Qirui confessed again and again.Yuan does not restrain himself, and Duan hides in Xishan.Now that Cai E is the first to start in Yunnan, it should be a great thing.Why does it have a "great relationship" with us? Could it be that Duan Qirui has shaken his normal belief again? Therefore, Xu Shuzheng calmly waited for Duan Qirui to say a "relationship".Seeing that Xu Shuzheng didn't speak, Duan Qirui felt a little anxious.He likes to get straight to the point, and he can't hide "things" in his belly.So, he said plainly: "There was an incident in Yunnan, and the whole country responded. Yuan Xiangcheng became uneasy, and sent Zeng Yujun to come to find me every day." "I want you to come out of the mountain, and you want to be king?" Xu Shuzheng asked anxiously. "That's not it." Duan Qirui said, "I told Zeng Yujun: I'm sick and I can't move. Zeng Yujun cried and said, "Now the situation is so chaotic, Xiang Cheng is already looking forward to seeing you through. He asked me to tell you , please don’t just sit back and watch his white-haired man being tortured and bullied. It’s for this matter. Yuan Xiangcheng handed Feng Huafu’s letter to me to show his sincerity to us.” Having said that, Duan Qirui no longer Going on, he blinked his thick and somewhat tired eyes, trying to peek out something from Xu Shuzheng's face—is it sympathy or disapproval? Xu Shuzheng: Silently, facing the wall, without saying a word. Duan Qirui was anxious: "Shuzheng, the problem is ahead, what should we do? You still have to come up with an idea!" Xu Shuzheng remained silent-- Yuan Shikai wants to be emperor.The Chinese will not agree.This is what Xu Shuzheng expected. The "National Protection Movement" was surging, and Xu Shuzheng knew it in his heart; he also predicted that because of Yuan Shikai's unpopularity, the end would definitely not be good.Now, Yuan Shikai felt that the situation was serious, and he had no choice but to "secretly flirt" with Duan Qirui.Xu Shuzheng didn't expect it. The news of the uprising in Yunnan reached Xu Shuzheng's ears, and he thought about it seriously. He thought that "the border of Yunnan is remote and the resources are thin. Even if Cai E has great ambitions, he will be too far behind, and he will be sad for nothing." But Xu Shuzheng also sees When it comes to this trend, "it's unstoppable! It will overthrow all restoration efforts." Xu Shuzheng wanted to return to Beijing: "If others take up the banner to overthrow Yuan Shikai, wouldn't it be better to start first." He wanted to mobilize Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui will carry this banner.In the future, both he and Duan Qirui will become "heroes against imperialism".After all, Xu Shuzheng climbed along the "pole" of Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai.Opposing Yuan is tantamount to opposing his "ancestors". Opposing ancestors is something that Chinese people do not want to do;Just when Xu Shuzheng was hesitating, Duan Qirui came to the door, and what he brought was Yuan Shikai's "request" for Duan Qirui to come out of the mountain, and he did not hesitate to betray his cronies.Xu Shuzheng suddenly felt that Yuan Shikai was so pitiful.So be sincere.Xu Shuzheng was in a dilemma: Do you feel sorry for Yuan Shikai, thank him for his support in the past and his sincerity today, and give him another hand? Or follow the trend to oppose him and defeat him? Help Yuan? The hope is too small, Yuan Shikai will not give up on him easily "Emperor's Dream".This dream is bound to lead to self-destruction.Anti-Yuan? What will be the final result of the "National Protection Movement"? If it succeeds, who will be in charge of the ups and downs? This is still a mystery.Where to go? This person who is called "the strange man" is also at a loss for a moment. in the long history of China.The melee is the best way to show the true qualities of a hero.And all the "heroes in troubled times".Almost all have a common "truth" in content, and that is to develop yourself.Strengthen yourself and dominate the world with your fists! Xu Shuzheng claimed to be China's "hero among heroes". He wanted to annex the six kingdoms like Qin Shihuang and rule the world.Starting from the establishment of an arsenal in Gong County.He intends to expand his power and harden his fists.Like a shrewd fisherman, he is always watching the large and small ripples on the water, waiting to pick up the fishing rod.Shanghai.Not where he lived. "Shanghai is full of feasting and feasting, Shanghai is only rich and rich. Shanghai is not a country of emperors!" Xu Shuzheng lives in Shanghai but his heart is in Beijing.Ordinarily, the arrival of Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai's "sincerity" all brought Xu Shuzheng a great opportunity to come out again.As long as he is determined, Duan Qirui will "obey his orders" no matter whether he is helping Yuan or opposing Yuan -- Duan Qirui believes in Xu Shuzheng.Duan Qirui often regarded Xu Shuzheng as a "talent gifted by God", and the heavens pitied him for his "concern for the country and the people" and sent capable people for him.However, this time, Xu Shuzheng was very abnormal. He neither wanted to help Yuan nor oppose Yuan.He said: "At present, we still stick to our principles, and the purpose of anti-imperialism remains unchanged. We cannot go out of the mountain now. When and how to go out? Go on, no, let's talk about it when we stabilize." Duan Qirui was silent, and he said to himself and seemed to be worried and complaining: "Aren't you going out? Isn't this a bit desperate. Sure enough, the movement to protect the country has succeeded..." Xu Shuzheng shook his head and smiled. "Just sit on the Diaoyutai, Yuan Xiangcheng will not die, and Cai Songpo (Cai E's word Songpo) will not succeed immediately." Duan Qirui said: "What you said makes sense. It's just..." After the "three long cases", Duan Qirui was full of complaints about Yuan Shikai.Living in seclusion in Xishan is just a stopgap measure. One day, he will still lead everyone in the Anhui family to regroup and dominate the situation to clean up this dilapidated river and mountain.Yuan Shikai was in dire straits, and sent people to invite him several times, and showed Feng Guozhang's informant letter.Duan Qirui was shaken: after all, he had received Yuan Shikai's kindness, and he had an old relationship of sharing honor and disgrace, rising and falling together.He thought he had to support Yuan Xiang to the end.Xu Shuzheng's words aroused his thoughts of "preserving strength": "Yes, there is no final decision on who will win. It's better to sit and wait for the opportunity." "It's okay not to leave the mountain." Duan Qirui said, "How do I go to see Xiang Cheng, and what should I say to him?" "Aren't you sick?" Xu Shuzheng said, "recover behind closed doors. What are you doing seeing him?" Xu Shuzheng also felt that it was unpredictable, and it was unreasonable to refuse to see each other suddenly.What's more, Duan Qirui still bears the title of "Chief of the Army Department", so there must be a legitimate retreat.Xu Shuzheng thought for a long time, and then said: "You don't have to be embarrassed. Yuan Xiangcheng wants you to come out of the mountain immediately. Although it is forced by the situation, I think that there must be someone around me who speaks up. We can't help but make small moves to let those who speak up back down. It's both. "What action?" Duan Qirui didn't believe that there was any action to entertain this matter. "Getting people back" isn't that easy. " "Easy!" Xu Shuzheng said: "We sent people to create public opinion in front of Liang Shiyi, Yang Du and others, saying that as long as Hefei is willing to see Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng can agree to all requests from Hefei. At that time, all personnel in Xiangcheng , finance, and decision-making all belong to Hefei. These people are all Xiangcheng’s confidantes, and they are at odds with us. They must hinder Xiangcheng from meeting you. Can’t we just sit back and watch the changes!” "Good!" Duan Qirui patted the table again. "Excellent! Let's just watch him fight the snipe and the clam!" "Ah!" Xu Shuzheng turned silent, and said firmly: "Not only do we not see him, but we have to actively attack him!" "Attack?" Duan Qirui was puzzled. "Yes. Offensive!" Yuan Shikai's determination to "climb to the pole" was made, and everything was prepared according to plan.Seven days before the grand ceremony, the "National Defense Movement" that rose in Yunnan spread across the country like a furious wave, and Yuan Shikai was at a loss.The court uniforms made by the guards according to his will were delivered to him and asked him to "try them on".He didn't want to look out of the corner of his eyes; the lunch delivered by the Imperial Kitchen Hall was more flavorful than what "Lafayette" had served at the beginning, but he shook his head impatiently and said "take it down".He sat in the dormitory from morning to night, hanging his head and thinking hard, puzzled: "I should be the president, why can't I be the emperor? China is mine, it's mine! Protect the country, protect the country, Could it be that if I become an emperor, China will not be China anymore? I will become a foreign devil?" The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. "Why hasn't Zeng Yujun come here?" He remembered the special envoy sent to find Duan Qirui.Yuan Shikai missed the old love very much at this time.He thinks that Duan Qirui is his man, he has old feelings for Duan, and Duan will never forget his gratitude.Furthermore.Yuan Shikai felt that Duan was capable of helping him. "Zhiquan has a strong army, as long as he takes the initiative, I will be fine." He missed Duan Qirui. "Zhiquan cold me, that's the fault of the little fan Xu Shuzheng." He hated Xu Shuzheng.Zeng Yujun didn't send him "good news" from heaven, so he was also shaken by Duan. "Could Duan Zhiquan really be a rebel?" Just when Yuan Shikai was burning with anxiety, people reported, "Zeng Yujun is asking to see you!" Yuan Shikai said several times, "Please!" Zeng Yujun stood in front of Yuan Shikai, with a livid face, slowly took out a letter, held it in front of Yuan Shikai with both hands, and said in a muffled voice, "Please read it, sir." Yuan Shikai also suspected that it was Duan Qirui's "loyalty" letter, and unfolded it hastily.At a glance, it was Xu Shuzheng's ink.The joy on his face disappeared immediately. "He, didn't this thing go to Shanghai? Why..." Yuan Shikai's heart sank: "If Xu Shuzheng finds out about the request, he must be a hindrance." He wanted to throw the letter away and not read it. .Perhaps it was because of "serious illness and random medical treatment", Yuan Shikai immediately held up hope. "If the Hefei soul can attach to the Hefei body, it would be a good idea to come up with a good idea!" Thinking so.He picked up the letter he had dropped. --This letter is the "attack letter" that Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui said in Shanghai to "actively attack" Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai read the letter again.Seeing that Qishou's title was "Generalissimo", he became furious: "Bastard! I'm just Generalissimo? I...I..." He wanted to say, "I am the President, I am the President. It's the emperor, so you should call your majesty "the president!" He didn't say it, so he bit the bullet and read the letter: ......The world was initially decided, and the vows were not yet dry, but the situation was suddenly changed, and the national system was changed.Regardless of the failure of diplomacy, the trust of the people is not satisfied.Fighting is everywhere, and the overall situation is in danger, but we can wait for it... "Bastard! I, Yuan Weiting, is a three-year-old child, and I fainted after a few big words?" He was so angry that his voice trembled, and he cursed: "I am the lord of a country, whether to change the country's system is my business, you Xu Shuzheng What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks?!" But I had to continue reading: Immediately implement the Meiji regime that has committed crimes, get rid of the traitorous disciples, reconcile the hearts of the people who have gone, and restore the old system of republic, then Dian (referring to Cai E) can send an envoy to relieve his soldiers, and people inside and outside have nothing to borrow , and the affairs of state are settled! "It's wrong, it's wrong!" Yuan Shikai threw the letter on the ground fiercely, feeling dizzy, so he lay down on the chair, closed his eyes, and just panted heavily. Zeng Yujun picked up the letter and carefully read it.He said in surprise: "My lord, below, there is still something to say below!" "What words?" Zeng Yujun pointed to the letter and said: "He said that if his opinion is not accepted..." He stopped. "How dare he?" "My lord, please..." "Read!" Zeng Yujun said according to his original belief: If you give someone a handle and summon your own soldiers, the country is in danger! "It's nonsense!" Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said loudly: "Throw him back! Never allow Xu Shuzheng to disturb me!"
