It's just that although Cixi's wishful thinking played well, she didn't expect that the reaction of overseas Chinese would be so fierce, and she even threatened to cut off the Qing court's luck. Cixi of course knows the importance of Cao Yun to the Qing court, if Cao Yun is broken, it is difficult to say elsewhere, but Beijing City will collapse economically in no more than a month, she did not dare to restrict the East China government before, in addition to the military strength factor, now the Qing court's Cao Yun is in the hands of the East China government, it is also an important factor, and now the East China government really used this trick, so Cixi did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the Su Prince Shanqi to be imprisoned, and handed over to the Zongren Mansion to agree on the guilt.

However, this time it blew up among the Manchu magnates, so Liangbi, Pu Wei, Tie Liang, Rongqing, Yin Chang, Yu Lang, Zai Run and others rushed to the palace to ask to see Cixi and ask for Prince Su Shanqi. And Cixi was also a little annoyed in her heart, she couldn't imagine that these people didn't know what to do, they simply didn't have enough success and more than they failed, so they simply refused to see it.

And this group of Manchu magnates also did a desperate job, Cixi did not leave if she didn't see it, and she also brought a large group of Manchu magnates with hundreds of people, kneeling in front of the palace and crying, the voice was transmitted to the palace, Cixi was so angry that she almost turned her back on her back, and immediately ordered to recruit the Minister of Military Aircraft to discuss countermeasures.

But although several ministers of military aircraft came, they couldn't come up with any good ideas. Because Cixi is not incapable of governing these Manchu magnates, but to maintain the balance of the imperial court, you can't suppress them too much, Cixi's biggest trick in power is to balance the two words, pull a faction to fight a faction, and absolutely not let any faction sit big, now if Cixi disposes of these people, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the power of the Manchu magnates, then the balance of the entire court will be broken. And the Minister of War and Aircraft didn't know it in his heart, but what could he say at this time! Therefore, he had to pretend to be confused.

Of course, Zhang Zhidong was pretending to be and suggested that these people be arrested and removed from the title, Cixi just snorted and was noncommittal, and the others were also very knowledgeable, knowing that Zhang Zhidong was qualified to sell the old with the old, and he didn't have this qualification, so he didn't take Zhang Zhidong's words.

In fact, Cixi also knew that the Manchu elite forces were unreliable, and this group of people was short-sighted, low-eyed, and only knew how to seize power, but they never thought that they had a few catties and taels, and could they grasp it after they caught power? Now they are still pampered and arrogant, but they are threatening themselves, so Cixi replaced them with the Manchu upstart forces headed by Zaifeng, but after all, Zaifeng is still young, and his foundation is not deep, and he still needs several years of experience. We can't suppress this group too much at this time.

So Cixi thought about it again and again, and finally gave an order, ordering Prince Su to think about it behind closed doors, and not to leave the house without an order from the imperial court, nor to see guests, although this punishment is also very severe, but after all, it is to be put back to the house, which can be regarded as a step forward, and then ordered Li Lianying to go out, and warn the Manchu magnates who are still crying outside the palace, and accept it when they see it, Lafayette has already given a step, and you don't know what to do, if you really want to force Lafayette to be in a hurry, it is not that there is no means to clean you up.

These Manchu magnates wept outside the palace for a long time, and they were already tired and thirsty, and in any case, they let Prince Su go, just under this staircase, so they dispersed one after another.

However, although the Manchu magnates were dismissed, the Cao Yun withheld by the East China Government was not released, because such conditions were obviously not satisfactory to the East China Government. And Cixi ordered Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai to negotiate with the East China government.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"District Chief Yang, Ms. Jiang, you can leave here today. We're sorry you've been scared a lot in the past two days. ”

Yang Yuxin smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Jiang, I am no longer the head of Shanghai New Area. ”

"Oh!" Jiang Shiwei was also a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while." ”

It turned out that at this time, Yang Yuxin had already known the true identity of Bai Tassel as a Japanese spy, so Yang Yuxin was also completely discouraged, knowing that his political future was over, and it was impossible for the East China government to appoint a person who married a Japanese spy as an official, even if it was a traverser. With this ideological preparation, he received a formal administrative order from the Ministry of Administration to remove Yang Yuxin from his position, and Yang Yuxin was able to accept it calmly.

However, after living in the residence of the Shanghai office for two days, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and others also wrote the materials to be written, and after the confirmation of the Shanghai office, it can be basically determined that Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and others do not know the true identity of the white tassel, so the Shanghai office has no reason to detain Yang Yuxin again, and Yang Yuxin is the leader of the Shanghai New District after all, and he has been imprisoned for two days, and there is no formalities to hand over.

Jiang Shiwei said: "However, although our imprisonment has been lifted, there are still certain restrictions on your freedom, you can only move in the dormitory area, if you want to leave the dormitory area, you must apply in advance, and we will send someone to monitor it, until the special team sent by the Executive Yuan arrives, they will be responsible for investigating your other responsibilities." The other is to go to your office to seal the materials and go through the handover procedures. ”

Yang Yuxin smiled bitterly again and said, "I understand, and I will definitely cooperate well." ”

Jiang Shiwei laughed and said, "I know you want to leave here right now, but there is one more thing that you need to deal with." ”

Yang Yuxin said: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "Bai Tassel wants to see you, I don't know if you want to see her." ”

Yang Yuxin was stunned for a long time, unable to speak for a long time, and Jiang Yi, who had not spoken just now, suddenly said: "Minister Jiang thinks we should see her?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "We have no restrictions in this regard, mainly depending on your attitude, if you are willing to see her, we can arrange it, and we think this is also human nature, after all, she is still pregnant with your child." ”

Yang Yuxin lowered his head and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?"

Jiang Renwei said: "Why is it useless? We are not the Gestapo, we will allow her to give birth to the child, even if she will be sentenced to death, and we will wait until she gives birth to the child before execution." ”

Yang Yuxin immediately raised his head and said, "Will she be sentenced to death?"

Jiang Shiwei said with a smile: "I just made an analogy, and I didn't say that she would definitely be sentenced to death, why? She hurt you so badly, do you still care about her life or death? Or do you care about your own children?"

Yang Yuxin shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about these things yet. ”

At this time, Jiang Yi suddenly said: "Minister Jiang, if you want to say anything to us, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush like this." ”

Jiang Shiwei was also slightly stunned, this woman's observation was very detailed, so he said: "This is mainly to look at Yang District...... Mr. Yang's attitude, I'll just say it directly, if it's possible, I mean if possible, Bai Tassel can clear his identity as a spy, can you still accept her. ”

Yang Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and said a little dazed: "Can she clear her identity as a spy?"

Jiang Yi frowned slightly and said, "Can Minister Jiang be more detailed?"

Jiang Shiwei nodded and said: "I will also tell the truth, we want to plot against her, because she is a Japanese spy, she is very familiar with Japan's intelligence operations, and she also has a lot of information about Japan's intelligence agencies in Shanghai and Shandong, which is quite useful to us, so we hope that she can make meritorious service for her crimes, and even work for us, so that her crimes will be greatly reduced, and the death penalty will definitely not, I estimate that she will be sentenced to a few years, but the sentence will definitely be less than 10 years." ”

Yang Yuxin was still digesting the information of Jiang Shiwei's words, and Jiang Yiji said: "Minister Jiang wants to plot against Bai Tassel, what does it have to do with us accepting her?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "Of course it is related, according to our observations, as well as the division of Bai Tassel's life experience, I think that Bai Tassel is still a little more than Mr. Yang, and she is still pregnant with Mr. Yang's child, so we think that if you can accept Bai Tassel, it will be very attractive to her, and we have a great chance of rebelling against her." But it all depends on your attitude, and if you insist on not being willing to accept the white tassel again, we will not be immune. ”

It turned out that through the interrogation of the captives, the recording of Bai Tassel's self-report, and the text, the Shanghai Office judged that her self-reported life experience was basically the truth, and of course, the Shanghai Office did not fully believe it, and ordered the intelligence officers lurking in Japan to investigate Bai Tassel's self-reported hometown and learning experience for further confirmation. But Jiang Shiwei thinks that it can be carried out simultaneously with Bai Tassel's rebellion.

In the confession document written by Bai Tassel, he provided some confidential information to the Shanghai office, such as the names used by the two confirmed Japanese traversers, one is called Miyamoto Naotaka and the other is called Koji Nakamura, and in the Japanese intelligence community, there is also a person named Masaki Kobayashi who is as famous as them, these three people have all emerged in the past five years, and they are known as the "three birds" of the Japanese intelligence community, and the limelight is close to Akashi Motojiro.

This information is quite important, and Jiang Shiwei immediately judged that another person named Masaki Kobayashi is likely to be a traverser. Of course, whether the white tassel is a traverser or not, the Shanghai office has also made an identification, and she is not a traverser. And the way of identification is actually very simple, which is to look at the eyes. Because modern people's eyes will often come into contact with television, computers, mobile phones and other strong stimulation light sources, so the pupils are obviously different from people in this era, and modern eye examination instruments can be checked, such instruments have more than a dozen in the crossing group, and there are two in Shanghai hospitals, and the eyes of the white tassel can be determined that she is not a traverser.

However, although Bai Tassel is not a traverser, she obviously has a lot of confidential information of interest to the Shanghai office, so Jiang Shiwei applied to the Ministry of Security to counter Bai Tassel, which was also approved. But at this time, Bai Tassel proposed again, hoping to see Yang Yuxin's side.
