The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Liang Qichao had reason to be angry, because the sealed "Poetry" was one of the supplements of "Morning Post".

"Morning News" was originally called "Morning Bell News". It was co-founded by Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin and others. It was an official publication of the "Research Department".

After Liang Qichao withdrew from the political arena, "Morning News Supplement" became the propaganda base of Marxism, often publishing articles introducing the Russian Revolution. However, since Xu Zhimo took over last year, "Morning News Supplement" began to change its political stance, launched a big discussion on the "Russia issue", and opposed the Russian Revolution.

Even at the end of last year, the "capital revolution" (parade) jointly launched by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party turned into mob activities because of the loss of control. "Morning Post" was regarded as a reactionary publication by the demonstrators, and the newspaper office was burned down.

It stands to reason that "Morning News Supplement" is on Zhang Zuolin's side, and now it has been sealed up for no reason, and Xu Zhimo has also been arrested, which makes Liang Qichao not angry.

Liang Qichao's current mental activity must be: "Zhang Zuolin, you are so paralyzed that you even catch your own people!"

The former Shuncheng Prince's Mansion is now the official residence of Zhang Zuolin.

Liang Qichao came to the gate angrily, blew his beard and stared and shouted, "Zhang Zuolin, come out!"

The guard at the gate immediately raised his gun, aimed at Liang Qichao and shouted, "Who is it, who is impatient and dares to make noise in the Marshal's Mansion!"

"I'm Liang Qichao, tell Zhang Zuolin to come out and meet me!" Liang Qichao's momentum remained undiminished.

The guard probably had heard of Liang Qichao's name, and said: "Wait here, don't speak any more wild words, I'll report to the commander-in-chief."

Zhu Xiang's eyes glowed as he watched from the side. He was an angry youth who liked to despise authority, and he was full of admiration for Liang Qichao's performance at the moment.

Zhou Hexuan laughed secretly, Liang Qichao dared to play like this, he was sure that Zhang Zuolin would not touch him.

Soon the guards ran back, led Liang Qichao, Zhou Hexuan and Zhu Xiang into the mansion, and took them to the living room of the palace to wait.

"Hahahahaha!"

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

Zhang Zuolin came in wearing a silk shirt, opened his mouth and said rudely: "Mom, what gust of wind brought Mr. Ren here? Let's go, I just want to eat, let's go have a drink together."

Zhou Hexuan looked at Zhang Zuolin carefully, and found that he was thin and short, but his eyes were extremely sharp. Listening to that laughter and looking at this person's appearance, Zhou Hexuan could only think of three words: Live Cao Cao!

Liang Qichao glared and said, "I dare not drink Marshal Zhang's wine, for fear that I will be poisoned to death!"

Zhang Zuolin was taken aback, and asked, "Mr. Ren, what's going on?"

"My student was arrested by you, and a supplement of "Morning News" was also seized by you!" Liang Qichao said.

Zhang Zuolin asked: "Your student, isn't it a Redist?"

Liang Qichao said angrily: "Fuck the Reds, he even criticized the Russian Revolution last year, even the "Morning News" newspaper was burned by the Reds."

Zhang Zuolin asked again: "What is the name of the banned publication?"

""Poetry"!" Liang Qichao said.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask about the situation first." Zhang Zuolin comforted him.

There was a telephone in the reception room. Zhang Zuolin shook his number in front of them and said, "Get me to the police station. I'm Zhang Zuolin..."

Soon after the call was connected, Zhang Zuolin scolded his head and face: "Mom, why did you seal up the "Poetry" and arrest people... What? Russian poems were published in "Poetry"? If Life Deceives You". Also published an anti-poem "Answer"?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hexuan couldn't laugh or cry, walked to Zhang Zuolin and explained: "Commander, the poem "If Life Deceives You" was written by Pushkin. Although he is a Russian, he has been dead for decades. The current Soviet Union has nothing to do with it. As for the "Answer", I wrote it, and I am a young marshal, so it is impossible to write anti-poetry."

Zhang Zuolin held the phone, turned around and asked, "Are you from Liu Zi?"

Zhou Hexuan said: "My name is Zhou Hexuan. I worked as a foreign language secretary for the young marshal. Now I help the young marshal manage the Ta Kung Pao and the Education Foundation."

"Oh, you are that Zhou Hexuan," Zhang Zuolin said with a smile, "I heard Feng Zhi mentioned you, saying that you are a talent for helping the six sons quit opium. Mom, let me help you, and your subordinates will make trouble for me."

Zhou Hexuan said: "The commander-in-chief is clear."

Zhang Zuolin immediately yelled at the phone: "Big head Xu, you fucking let me go! Let you arrest the Red Party, what are you doing with Ren Gong and Liu Zi? Do your best! I see you!" The Chief of Police doesn’t want to do it anymore!”

Well, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Now Zhou Hexuan can be regarded as deeply aware of the political pressure in the capital. Even Russian poems appearing in poetry magazines will be regarded as pro-Soviet elements. As for his "Answer", from the interpretation of some people, it is really an anti-poem through and through.

"Hahahaha," Zhang Zuolin hung up the phone, patted Liang Qichao on the back and said, "Mr. Ren, this is a fucking mistake made by someone under his command. Don't worry, the police department has released him. Let's go, my brothers Go drink a few cups. What, yes, Zhou Hexuan, you come too."

Liang Qichao looked down on Zhang Zuolin quite a bit, he was full of banditry and swearing, and he didn't look like a big deal.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Zhang Zuolin is now the actual controller of the capital, and Liang Qichao had to save face, so he followed him to the dining room with half push and half hesitation.

Zhang Zuolin's concubines were all in Tianjin, and only his sixth concubine accompanied him. This sixth concubine, like Chu Yupu's fifth concubine, used to be an actress in Tianbao Troupe in Tianjin, younger than Zhang Xueliang.

Mrs. Six helped to pour wine for everyone. Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, you don't know. This revolutionary party is making a lot of noise, and you can't catch them all. The people below will inevitably make mistakes. Today's matter is indeed my brother's fault." Wrong, I arrested your students for no reason. Come on, I will toast you a toast, as an apology for you!"

"Where, Shuai Yu is serious." Liang Qichao was appeased, and his attitude became much more polite.

Zhou Hexuan watched from the side, and had a new understanding of Zhang Zuolin. Although this Marshal Zhang speaks vulgarly, he handles affairs very well and can put down his airs.

If it were Chu Yupu, he would have blown everyone out long ago.

For this drink, Liang Qichao was the protagonist, while Zhou Hexuan and Zhu Xiang could only be regarded as accompanying guests.

Zhang Zuolin drank his glass and said: "I am a short man who has never studied, but I admire scholars most in my life. Especially Ren Gong, when your brother called the wind and rain, I was a bandit. In politics Come on, you are my senior, and I can only be regarded as a junior. Come on, this junior will toast my elder brother again!"

Putting on these high hats, Liang Qichao completely turned off his fire, and his impression of Zhang Zuolin was greatly changed, and he said with a smile: "Shuai Yu is polite."

"You're welcome, and don't be polite to my brother," Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to say, "Brother, the government is in trouble now. Gu Weijun, the acting prime minister, doesn't have much prestige. If my brother is willing to come out, I will guarantee you to be the acting prime minister. After two years of the presidential election, I will guarantee you to be the president."

"Shuai Yu, don't make fun of me. I have quit politics a long time ago." Liang Qichao was not fooled.

Although Zhang Zuolin is very powerful in the military, he has no political appeal. He wants to use Liang Qichao's reputation to win people's hearts. As long as Liang Qichao agrees, Liang Qichao will be a puppet when nothing happens, and if something happens, Liang Qichao will have to take the blame.

For example, the president and prime minister had to sign the treaty of treason, and if such a bad thing was exposed, Liang Qichao's reputation would be completely ruined throughout his life.
