The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Kang Youwei left, very simply.

After eight days of recuperation in the Western Medicine Hospital in Tianjin, he returned to Shanghai by boat alone, and took away the 10,000 oceans rewarded by Puyi by the way.

Kang Youwei has been short of money these years, and his life is extremely desolate. When he was in Shanghai, he had sex with prostitutes every day, but he often couldn't pay for the prostitution. The prostitutes ran to Kang Youwei to collect debts, which scared him and fled to Guangdong. On the day of boarding the ship, the creditors searched the entire ship but could not find him, and finally the sailors found him hiding in the plank of the ship.

The world wrote poems and joked: There is no platform to avoid debts, but there is a boat, and nothing is worth nothing.

These days, Kang Youwei went north to Tianjin and worked very actively for Puyi's various parties, precisely because he saw the hope of restoration. No one knows how much his move is divided into the country and the nation. But for himself, he is sure, maybe he can become a high-ranking official.

A few words from Zhou Hexuan made Kang Youwei realize the reality, and he was not in the mood to stay in Tianjin any longer, and he might as well go back to Shanghai to enjoy himself in time and be happy.

Tianjin Railway Station.

"Master Kang, did you really leave me alone?" Puyi was heartbroken to persuade him to stay. If Kang Youwei left, he would have no advisors by his side.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do to recover!" Kang Youwei shook his head and sighed.

Just three days ago, regardless of the danger of the war, Wu Peifu blatantly dismissed his top general, Jin Yun'e, from all military posts, and then set off north to meet and negotiate with Zhang Zuolin in person.

All of this is consistent with Zhou Hexuan's analysis. The Zhili warlords are unstable, and Wu Peifu can only choose to bow his head and compromise. From now on, the Beiyang government will be completely decided by Zhang Zuolin, and there is no possibility of fishing in troubled waters.

In the face of absolute power, any political means are small tricks, and they can only bring shame upon themselves.

Pu Yi burst into tears and said to himself: "Where should I go?"

Kang Youwei said: "Zhou Hexuan has a deep understanding of the world and knows the general trend of the world. You can ask him for advice in the future. But this person is unpredictable and cannot be trusted absolutely."

"Can he compare to Master Kang?" Puyi asked doubtfully.

Kang Youwei said with emotion: "When it comes to military affairs, I am not as good as him. This person actually predicted that Wu Peifu and General Jin Yun'e would be at odds with General Jin Yun'e and the internal instability of the Zhijun through just a few words in the newspaper eight days ago. If you have the opportunity to take charge of the army, you can let Zhou Hexuan be the military counselor."

"I've made a note." Puyi nodded solemnly.

"Take care, Your Majesty, and I will leave!" Kang Youwei turned around and left in a hurry. He still had a foreign bank draft of 10,000 yuan from Puyi in his arms, and finally he did not come to Tianjin for nothing, which was enough for him to spend a few months in Shanghai.

Pu Yi sadly returned to Zhang Yuan, as if he had become a lonely family. There were not even a few guards left around him, and there was not a single person who was really available.

Seeing that Puyi was in a low mood, Wanrong took the opportunity to suggest: "Your Majesty, since there is nothing to be done, don't even think about restoration. Life in Tianjin is so good."

"A woman's opinion!" Puyi's face became more gloomy, and he said sharply, "Wenxiu opposes me, and you also oppose me? I was born to be the lord of the world, and now it's just a temporary dust. Sir!"

Wanrong hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh secretly, and went back to the study to find her girlfriends Cui Huifu and Cui Huimei to confide in her sorrows.

Cui Huifu is as famous a talented woman as Lu Bicheng in Tianjin. Her father, Cui Yongnian, once served as an adviser to Zhang Xun, and her uncle, Cui Yongan, once served as the governor of Zhili. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Cui family moved to Tianjin Concession. Because Cui Yongnian had no children, the Cui sisters vowed not to marry for life and to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty on behalf of their father.

Puyi settled in Tianjin last year, and the Cui family sisters, under the recommendation of their elder cousin, went to Zhang Garden to meet the emperor and empress. From then on, Cui Huifu served as Wanrong's painting and music teacher and stayed in Zhangyuan for a long time.

Cui Huifu is 29 years old this year, and her younger sister Cui Huimei is 17 years old. Both sisters look like flowers and jade, but they are honest with men. They are willing to dedicate their lives to Daqing.

This is the so-called old and young, full of loyalty to the emperor.

As long as Puyi hints casually, the Cui family sisters will happily recommend themselves as pillows. It's a pity that the emperor is a gentleman, so he has no interest in them, what can he do?

"Empress Empress!"

Seeing Wanrong come in, the two sisters who were practicing calligraphy immediately stood up to greet her.

Wanrong helped Cui Huilou to sit down, and smiled helplessly: "Sister Cui, how many times have I told you, you can just call me Wanrong, don't call me Empress Empress."

"Wan... Wanrong." Cui Huifu smiled awkwardly.

Cui Huimei was young, so she didn't have so many scruples, she said happily: "Sister Wanrong, when will we go to the theater together? I haven't gone out for a long time."

Cui Huifu quickly reprimanded: "Huimei! Don't be so big or small."

Wanrong comforted Cui Huimei who was secretly pouting, and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all my sisters, don't care about the seniority or inferiority of those."

Cui Huifu turned her head to look at the closed door, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Mr. Nanhai has left, why didn't he stay to assist the emperor?"

"Do you really think that the Qing Dynasty can be restored?" Wanrong smiled helplessly.

"Difficult." Cui Huichu remained silent. Her intelligence is not inferior to that of a man, she has the ability of photographic memory, and she also has some understanding of the current situation, which is why she is very entangled.

Wan Rong said worriedly: "Your Majesty has gone mad, and his temper is getting more and more weird. If things go on like this, I'm afraid he will have a heart attack, and sooner or later he will go crazy."

Cui Huifu said full of guilt: "It's a pity that I'm not a man, so I can't share your majesty's worries and problems."

The two women were dejected here, but there was laughter in the Marshal's mansion.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Chu Yupu laughed out loud with joy, and praised: "You did a good job this time, I heard that Kang Youwei vomited blood because of your anger."

"The commander-in-chief is over-reputed, just a small plan." Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, looking like a dog's leg.

Chu Yupu said to the adjutant: "I will be rewarded for your meritorious service. Nanxiang, you go and send 1,000 oceans here!" Then he said, "I'll give you another ten days' long vacation, and the whole city of Tianjin is free to play."

"Thank you, Marshal, for the reward." Zhou Hexuan clasped his fists and said.

Shen Yaorong was envious, and quickly said: "Marshal, Wenxiu has agreed to divorce Puyi, we have to send someone to meet him."

If Concubine Shu Wenxiu wants to divorce, she must leave Zhang Yuan in advance, otherwise she will definitely be under house arrest by Pu Yi.

"I'll send some soldiers to you, and I must snatch them out of Zhang Yuan!" Chu Yupu was in a good mood. He no longer paid attention to his old boss Zhang Zongchang, and he wanted to hug Zuolin's tight thigh. Whether it's taking Kang Youwei away with anger, or provoking concubine Shu to divorce, these are all things that can be credited to Zhang Zuolin.

Zhou Hexuan came up with an idea: "Marshal, after concubine Shu is picked up, you can ask foreign lawyers to help with the lawsuit. Let the lawyers send a divorce letter to Pu Yi directly, and then report the matter to the world through newspapers. This is absolutely safe."

"Well, the hero sees the same thing, and I think so too." Chu Yupu nodded and said.

Shen Yaorong glared at Zhou Hexuan viciously, he actually shared the credit for his success, how abominable this person is!

Zhou Hexuan had a smile on his face, as if he was aloof from the rest of the world.
