025 [Everyone has their own worries]
"Please come in," Puyi ordered the eunuch and said to Kang Youwei with a smile, "Duan Hongye is active and comes to invite me 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 conflict between the two was not eliminated. Without Zhang Zuolin's support, Yan Huiqing was just a prime minister with a false reputation. Several ministers of the former cabinet refused to resign, and he could not even appoint government officials. In this case, we can contact Wu Peifu and let Duan Qirui come out again as prime minister."
Puyi said in confusion: "It's hard to deal with Duan Qirui. What are the benefits of being the prime minister?"
Kang Youwei explained: "Although Duan Qirui is famous all over the world, he has no power. Last year, he wanted to rely on political means to balance the forces of all parties, but he ended up backfiring and causing trouble. If he re-established the cabinet and became the prime minister, he would inevitably seek foreign aid. All warlords were unreliable, and he would likely consider uniting us."
"United us?" Puyi still couldn't figure it out.
Kang Youwei smiled confidently and said, "He can only choose to cooperate with us, because Duan Qirui was completely disappointed with those warlords in the war last year. At that time, His Majesty restored and became emperor, and he served as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, imitating Britain to implement constitutional monarchy. This will surely shock warlords from all over the world and truly realize the republic rule of the void king in China. Once the central government is stable, it will naturally sweep away the demon atmosphere, conquer the world, and let China stand tall again in the world's powerful countries!"
Puyi was so excited by Kang Youwei's words that he didn't want to be a monarchical autocracy. He was satisfied that he could be a mascot emperor like Britain and Japan. He immediately said: "I will contact Duan Qirui through Duan Hongye as soon as possible, and then I will ask Master Kang for everything."
"I will do my best and devote myself to my best!" Kang Youwei held up his hands and bowed to the end. He wanted to go to Duan Qirui to talk about the whole thing. The problem was that Duan Qirui did not see any guests at all, so he could only start through his son.
Just as the two kings and ministers got along, Duan Gongzi's footsteps and laughter came: "Puyi, the weather is just right today, let's play ball together!"
Puyi put away his excitement, changed into a smile and greeted him: "Young Master Duan is so elegant, I am 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: "Hello, Mr. Duan."
Duan Hongye was not polite, and pulled Puyi's sleeve and dragged it out: "Let's go and have a makeover, and I heard that he has good polo skills."
Puyi turned around and said to Kang Youwei: "Master Kang, don't you also want to meet Zhou Hexuan? Let's go together."
"It's just that." Kang Youwei said with a smile.
Puyi called Queen Wanrong, and the four of them took the guards out and called the rickshaw, chatting and laughing all the way.
When Shufei Wenxiu heard the laughter outside, she put down the work of the female worker in her hand, opened the window and looked at it, and felt even more miserable. She had no freedom, no happiness, and no ideals now, and seemed to have lost meaning in her whole life and could only be a cage bird all day long.
divorce!
Wen Xiu remembered what the gentleman said a few days ago. It is now the Republic of China and it is over early in the morning. Men and women have equal 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 Chinese citizens, and no one can regard anyone as a slave.
I want to get a divorce! Wenxiu gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
...
Zhuang Chu is not at home today, and suspected red elements appear in his newly recruited army. He must personally watch and find out the killing red parties.
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 lived a bit frustrated because the handsome man was very fond of her, which attracted the rejection and isolation of the other three concubines and was often sarcastic.
Especially the day before yesterday, the second concubine deliberately smashed Chu Yupu's beloved purple clay pot and pushed it onto the fifth concubine's head. The third concubine and the fourth concubine also came out to testify. Chu Dashang was so angry that he scolded him a few words, and stayed in the second concubine's room that night.
"well!"
Xiaoqing leaned behind the window and looked at the street scene outside and sighed softly. She was born in a poor family and was sold by her parents when she was a few years old. She was adopted by Xiao Li's mother, the headmaster of Tianbao class. Xiao Li's mother taught her to sing opera, teach her to read and read, and raise her as a daughter.
Although she no longer has to endure the suffering of poverty, her life is already destined to marry a big shot and become a concubine.
The headmaster of Tianbao Class, Xiao Li's mother, is not simple. This girl is a fellow villager of warlord Meng Enyuan. She used Meng Enyuan's relationship to quickly build connections in the Beiyang forces. Later, Meng Enyuan was dismissed by Zhang Zuolin, but Xiao Li's mother was in a prosperous position.
Even Zhang Zuolin's favorite sixth concubine was raised by Xiao Li's mother. The girls in her opera troupe are good at poetry, painting and opera. Many of them marry warlords and wealthy concubines, and Xiaoqing is just one of them.
"Miss, this is the newspaper that Dashang finished reading today." The maid Xiaolian came to her silently.
Xiaolian is also an actor in the Tianbao genre. Unfortunately, she is a little poor in appearance and can only serve as a dowry girl for Xiaoqing. She is bullied by other servants in the Magistrate's Mansion.
Xiaoqing happily opened the newspaper and read it. She could only rely on this to relieve her boredom every day. The wonderful story in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made the fifth concubine obsessed with it. She often compared herself to Huang Rong, hoping that a brother Jing would take her away one day.
Before I finished reading the content of today's serialization, the maid Xiaolian suddenly pointed outside and said, "Miss, look, it seems that it is the emperor and the queen. They are here to find Mr. Zhou again."
Xiaoqing looked into the street, as if she was not interested in the emperor, so she continued to look down at her novel.
Xiaolian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is so amazing. Not only does the Grand Marshal appreciate him, but even the emperor attaches importance to him. He is as glorious as the protagonist in the play."
Xiaoqing said to himself: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is very outstanding. A person like him has really made a frustrated with the Grand Marshal."
Zhou Hexuan, who was so talented, changed his clothes and went out. He followed a big soldier Li Shuanzhu from behind his butt. He came to the street to meet Puyi and others, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Pu, you are really leisurely. Have you asked me to play basketball again today?"
Puyi smiled and said, "I'll introduce it to you. This is Duan Hongye, Mr. Duan."
"Good luck! I have long admired my name." Zhou Hexuan said with his fists.
Duan Hongye also smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."
Puyi introduced the person behind: "This is Kang Master Kang Youwei."
Zhou Hexuan had long seen Kang Youwei, and his two beards were so personal. He walked over and shook hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Nanhai, I have heard of you for a long time, and I'm lucky to see you today."
