The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"Invite him to come in," Pu Yi told the eunuch, and said to Kang Youwei with a smile, "Duan Hongye is active, and he invites me to go out every few days."

"It's best to use him to win over Duan Qirui," Kang Youwei analyzed the situation. "Four days ago, Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu reached a compromise and agreed to restore the Yan Huiqing cabinet formed by Cao Kun, but the contradiction between the two has not been eliminated. Without Zhang Zuolin's support , Yan Huiqing is just a prime minister with a false name, several ministers of the former cabinet refused to resign, and he can't even appoint government officials. In this case, we can contact Wu Peifu and ask Duan Qirui to come out as prime minister again."

Pu Yi wondered: "Duan Qirui is a difficult person to deal with. What good will it do us if he becomes Prime Minister?"

Kang Youwei explained: "Although Duan Qirui is famous all over the world, he is helpless. Last year, he tried to rely on political means to balance the forces of all parties, but in the end he was self-defeating and self-defeating. If he re-forms a cabinet and becomes prime minister, he will inevitably seek foreign aid. Warlords None of them are reliable, and he is very likely to consider joining us."

"Unite us?" Puyi still couldn't figure it out.

Kang Youwei smiled confidently: "He can only choose to cooperate with us, because of last year's war, Duan Qirui has been completely disappointed with those warlords. When the time comes, His Majesty will restore the emperor, he will be the prime minister of the cabinet, and follow the example of the United Kingdom to implement a constitutional monarchy. It will surely deter warlords from all over the world, and truly realize the republican rule of the virtual monarch in China. Once the central government is stable, it will be able to sweep away the demon atmosphere, conquer the world, and let China stand again among the world's powerful countries!"

Puyi's blood boiled with excitement from Kang Youwei's words. He didn't want to engage in any monarchy chaos, and he was already very satisfied to be a mascot emperor like Britain and Japan. Immediately said: "I will contact Duan Qirui through Duan Hongye as soon as possible, and then I will leave everything to Master Kang."

"I will do my best, and do my best!" Kang Youwei cupped his hands and bowed to the end. He wanted to talk to Duan Qirui by himself, but the problem was that Duan Qirui didn't see any customers at all, so he could only do it through his son.

Just when the two monarchs and ministers met each other, Mr. Duan's footsteps and laughter came: "Pu Yi, the weather is fine today, let's go play together!"

Puyi put away her excitement, put on a smiling face and greeted him: "Young Master Duan is really in a good mood, and I'm also preparing to go out for activities."

"Hey, Kang Youwei is here too, long time no see." Duan Hongye greeted Kang Youwei carelessly.

Kang Youwei clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Mr. Duan is good."

Duan Hongye was also polite, he pulled Puyi's sleeve and dragged it out: "Let's go, let's go and ask Zhou Hexuan out. I heard that he is good at playing polo."

Puyi turned around and said to Kang Youwei: "Master Kang, don't you also want to meet Zhou Hexuan? Let's go together."

"That's exactly what I mean." Kang Youwei said with a smile.

Puyi also called Queen Wanrong, and the four of them went out with their guards to call a rickshaw, talking and laughing all the way away.

Concubine Shu Wenxiu heard the laughter outside, she put down the maid work in her hand, opened the window and looked, and felt even more miserable. She has no freedom, no happiness, and no ideals now. It seems that her whole life has lost its meaning, and she can only be a caged bird all day long.

divorce!

Wenxiu remembered what the gentleman said a few days ago, now it is the Republic of China, and it is over early in the morning. Men and women are equal in status, and women should pursue their own happiness. The emperor is a human being, and the imperial concubine is also a human being. They are all citizens of China, and no one can treat the other as a slave.

I want a divorce, I want to be a real woman! Wenxiu gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

...

Marshal Chu is not at home today, and there are suspected red elements in his newly recruited army, so he must personally watch and find out those red members who can't be killed.

The second concubine, the third concubine and the fourth concubine went out together, leaving only the newly married fifth concubine at home alone. The fifth concubine, Xiaoqing, was a bit aggrieved, because the commander-in-chief loved her so much that she was rejected and isolated by the other three concubines, who were often ridiculed.

Especially the day before yesterday, the second aunt deliberately broke Chu Yupu's beloved purple sand pot, and then pushed it on the fifth aunt's head. The third concubine and the fourth concubine also came out to testify, Chu Dashuai reprimanded him a few words, and stayed in the second concubine's room that night.

"well!"

Xiaoqing leaned behind the window, looking at the street scene outside and sighing softly. She was born in a poor family, and was sold by her parents when she was a few years old, and was adopted by Xiaoli Ma, the leader of the Tianbao class. Xiao Li's mother taught her to sing, taught her to read and write, and raised her as a daughter.

Although she no longer has to endure the hardships of poverty, her life has long been doomed, that is to marry a big shot and become a concubine.

The leader of the Tianbao class, Xiao Li's mother, is not simple. This woman is a fellow villager of the warlord Meng Enyuan, and she uses Meng Enyuan's relationship to quickly open up contacts in Beiyang forces. Later, Meng Enyuan was dismissed by Zhang Zuolin, but Xiao Li's mother was in trouble.

Even Zhang Zuolin's favorite sixth aunt was raised by Xiao Li's mother herself. The girls in her troupe are good at poetry, painting and singing, and many of them are married to warlords and rich people as concubines, and Xiaoqing is just one of them.

"Miss, this is the newspaper that the commander-in-chief finished reading today." The maid Xiao Lian silently came to her side.

Xiao Lian is also an actress in Tianbao Troupe, but unfortunately her looks are a bit poor, so she can only be Xiaoqing's dowry girl, and is bullied by other servants in the Marshal's Mansion.

Xiaoqing happily opened the newspaper and read it. She could only rely on this to relieve her boredom every day. The wonderful stories in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made the fifth aunt too obsessed with it. She often compared herself to Huang Rong, and looked forward to a brother Jing who would take her far away one day.

Before finishing today's serial, the maid Xiao Lian suddenly pointed outside and said, "Miss, look quickly, they seem to be the emperor and empress, and they are here to find Mr. Zhou again."

Xiaoqing looked up the street, she seemed not interested in the emperor, and continued to read her novel with her head down.

But Xiao Lian said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is really amazing, not only the commander appreciates him, even the emperor values ​​him, he is as beautiful as the protagonist in a play."

Xiaoqing said to herself: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is very good. For a person like him, following the commander-in-chief is really inferior."

Qucai's Zhou Hexuan changed his clothes and went out, followed by a big soldier Li Shuanzhu, came to the street to meet Puyi and others, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pu, you are really free, and you asked me to play ball again today?"

Puyi smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Duan Hongye."

"It's a pleasure to meet you! I have admired your father's name for a long time." Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said.

Duan Hongye also smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Puyi then introduced the person behind: "This is Kang Shikang Youwei."

Zhou Hexuan had seen Kang Youwei a long time ago, and those two moustaches really had character. He walked over to shake hands and said: "Mr. Nanhai, hello, I have heard of your name for a long time, and it is a pleasure to meet you today."

"Hello." Kang Youwei looked a little indifferent, he had long been famous all over the world, and Zhou Hexuan could only be regarded as a junior in front of him.
