Chapter 104: Lobbyist
But you have to pay it back when you come out to mix. With Zhang Hanqing taking a bullet for Yuan Shikai, Zhang's father and son have become outright hardcore in the hearts of anti-Yuan people. As Lao Yuan's good days approached, Zhang Hanqing's heart was also heavy, and he knew too well the development of the situation behind.
It can be described in one word: the river is going down.
After the fall of Lao Yuan in history, almost all of his cronies who jumped up and down were wanted except for the two-sided flattery. Although the Republic of China system did not worry about life, politically almost all of them were sentenced to lose their lives. He and his father have a good time, but they can't follow Lao Yuan to death in vain.
needs an opportunity to show the outside world that the support of their father and son is only an expedient measure, and it is no different from other people who passively support and oppose it, let alone be mistaken by the outside world that their father and son are two-faced and politically untrustworthy. And when Lao Yuan was in the middle of his life, he had to be skillful, otherwise there would be no need for Lao Yuan to step down, and it would be more than enough to clean up Zhang Zuolin as a division commander first.
It is said that a big quarrel between himself and the bustard was just a "nonsense" in Yuan Shikai's ears, and Zhang Hanqing began to make up his mind in this regard. It's good to be foolish, not only will you not offend people in death, but you can give yourself a satisfactory explanation for your behavior of support in the future: wasn't it nonsense at the beginning.
For nonsense, Zhang Hanqing has experience. was first known as the dragon and phoenix among people, and was noticed by all walks of life, and then suddenly there was a big trouble with the bustard, making him fall from the sky to the world. As Cai Ye successfully escaped by "borrowing" him as a cover, he was collectively ridiculed by everyone again. Now, he is no longer the young talent he used to be, and his reputation for foolishness has spread all over Beijing.
Because of this incident, Zhu Qichao, who originally had a good impression of him, also despised him a little: the young man was ambitious, so he didn't know why, and he felt a little hurt Zhongyong, and he didn't even want to meet him with him. This time it's a matter of love, I really think so.
And his daughters, who originally looked down on him, are now unwilling to associate with him---- although they are a flower on the social field, they are all noble places, how can he see him going to prostitute at a young age? Although the atmosphere of this era is not ashamed of prostitution, and it is not illegal to do this, the Zhu family advocates Western style and cannot accept such indulgent people. Besides, he is a yellow flower girl, and it was nothing to have a relationship with Zhang Hanqing's half-grown child, but he actually went to prostitution, according to the opinion of the people, he is already an adult man, and this relationship should be paid attention to.
No, when Zhang Hanqing came to find Miss Zhu San with full of ideas, he was turned away by the porter: "Miss Third is not here." And the third lady has words: 'I don't want to see you again'. ”
Zhang Hanqing ate the closed door, but he didn't give up, and many things still had to fall on the third lady. His mind changed very quickly, and he immediately replied: "I'm not here to ***, but to bring something to Miss Five." ”
To say that Zhang Hanqing often went in and out of the Zhu Mansion before, and he was familiar with several little sisters of the Zhu family. Zhu Wufang was ten years old, and it was when he was innocent, and some time ago he also promised a toy that could turn freely and change different beautiful clothes.
The porter only knew that the third lady did not want to see the man named Zhang Hanqing, but he did not know his identity. In any case, the person who can associate with the third lady and the master doesn't seem to exclude him always has a background, so he doesn't want to offend too much. Since he said that there are things from Miss Five, it is not wrong to ask.
Zhu San and several younger sisters were in the room, and when they heard that Zhang Hanqing hadn't seen him, Zhu Wu jumped up first: "Brother Hanqing is here, he must have brought toys, so let him in!" Zhu Songyun groaned for a moment, a little moved.
During this time, because of Lao Yuan's affairs, Zhu Qichao was very busy. Because the outside world is controversial about this matter in private, he also feels it. At a sensitive moment, Lao Yuan also increased the supervision of public opinion, so he forbade his daughters to go to public again, so as not to affect it. He has made a lot of efforts for Lao Yuan's affairs, and when he is waiting to be rewarded for his merits, he can't have an accident at home.
This is a kind of torture for the third lady, who is used to being in the limelight, feeling that the earth has stopped turning because of her departure, and she has almost lost contact with the outside world. Zhang Hanqing's arrival rekindled her immortal heart, although her father asked them to have less contact with Zhang Hanqing, who caused trouble.
"Let him come, just let him tell him interesting things about Kyori. I didn't listen to him for a few days, and I was suffocated to death. "This is the young Miss Zhu Wu's pampered and coquettish. For her, the eldest brother Zhang Hanqing, who can speak well and is well-informed, is amazing, and he knows astronomy and geography, which is not an exaggeration.
"Aren't you afraid of being scolded when your father doesn't let our sisters get close to him?"
"Don't be afraid, he won't eat people. Didn't my father also say that 'giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou', and he still wants his brother to be on par with Brother Hanqing. Besides, isn't there another Xiufeng brother here, he can't do anything bad. ”
Miss Zhu San was finally moved, but she kept an eye on it: "Father wants to know, I will say that you have to let him in, be careful to spank your ass." ”
Anyway, the responsibility was transferred in advance, and Zhang Hanqing Shi Shiran walked in. However, what surprised Zhu San was that in addition to giving Zhu Wu toys, there seemed to be something serious to talk about. However, looking at his thief's eyebrows and eager to say goodbye, Zhu San was angry in his heart: "Zhang Dagongzi has been in the limelight enough during this time, and everyone in Beijing knows about your deeds of making a fuss for a woman, which is really amazing." ”
Zhang Hanqing sneered and said: "Chong Guan is angry and red-faced, but it is just the true color of a man." I don't dare to accept the love of the outside world. But I'm here this time, and I really have something serious to say to Miss San. ”
Zhu San ignored his business, but pouted and said: "You are still a man's true character, I think you are your true 'color'." For the sake of an unclean woman, you have screwed up your good reputation in Beijing. She still had reservations, and did not mention the identity of the red peony prostitute, which can be regarded as a tutor. The last sentence is Zhu Qichao's original words.
Zhang Hanqing said: "It's still the third sister who is considerate of me, I came today to repay the peach, not only to give Zhu Shibo a chance to advance, but also to let the third sister wait for the opportunity to go out for a walk---- I haven't seen the third sister in the past few days." ”
It was rumored that Lao Yuan was very dissatisfied with Zhu Qichao's idea of a grand ceremony in the later period, so he was ready to let Wang Yitang, the envoy from Jilin, replace him as the chief of internal affairs, so that he could focus on the preparations for the grand ceremony. Zhang Hanqing didn't care if Lao Zhu could work part-time again, but because he had a "mistaken" mention of Zhang Zuolin's upcoming reform of the Fengtian police when he had a hot fight with Lao Zhu before, Zhu Qichao, the chief of internal affairs in charge of the police, applauded, and with a stroke of his pen, he provided 2,000 police firearms and Fengtian ---- in two times anyway, they were porridge in a pot, and it was the same in any bowl.
But for Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing, who have a benefit, the meaning is definitely different. If there are good things, Xiao Zhang must fight for them, so the relationship with the Zhu family cannot be broken. And he also wanted to borrow Miss Zhu San, which was all in his plan, so it was a last resort to endure a bad reputation and go to Zhu's mansion.
Zhu Songyun was also interested in his words. If the rumors are true, my father may have lost his post as chief of internal affairs, which must be a setback for his duty---- what it means at such an important juncture, it is self-evident. The director of the preparatory department of the Ascending Ceremony sounds lofty, but once Old Yuan ascends to the pole---- he is about to ascend to the pole, where will his father go after that? The good position has been taken by Yang Du and Liang Shiyi.
She was not interested in politics, but she was also very concerned about matters involving her father: "What are the opportunities you are talking about? If it's not good, I'll dare to kill you! That is, she is familiar with Zhang Hanqing during this time, so she dares to be so unladylike.
Zhang Hanqing took this opportunity to explain the plan and the plate: "Shibo lost points with the president, not because of any fault, but because other people did things that won the heart of the president more than Shibo, and compared him." Now there are all kinds of petition groups outside, and Yang Du and they even directly admit that they are 'lackeys', if Zhu Shibo does not speak out, his position is really precarious. It is estimated that as soon as the ceremony is over, his director will be unloaded and killed. ”
Zhu Songyun gave him a blank look: "Unload the mill and kill you stupid donkey!" How to say that? ”
Zhang Hanqing patted his head repeatedly: "Look at my mouth, third sister, I really didn't scold Shibo." ”
Zhu Songyun didn't bother with him about this matter anymore, and asked urgently: "What kind of idea do you say is a big gift?" Hmph, your idea is probably not good, either. ”
Zhang Hanqing didn't care about her low-level desire to capture and indulge in the old thing, and said straight to the point: "If Shibo wants to regain trust, there is only one way, and that is to be more radical than them. Of course, with Shibo's decency, he would definitely disdain to do these small actions, but this is exactly where I came to find the third sister today---- only the third sister did it. ”
For the sake of her father's career, Zhu Songyun had this awareness, she immediately nodded and said, "You say, I'll do it." ”
Zhang Hanqing's goal was achieved, and he said slowly: "The third sister has a lot of connections in the social circle, and now she is making trouble outside all the big men, and they are all the subordinates of the president, which is very suspicious." The third sister might as well take a group of women's troops to support Yuan as the emperor with a clear banner, which can definitely bring a new wind to the political arena. Didn't Miss Shen hold a 'petition' activity every month? The third sister made it big! In this way, the credit will naturally be credited to Zhu Shibo; If it is not done well, it is just the idea of the three sisters and one girl, and it will not affect the overall situation. ”
Zhu Songyun was very moved by what he said, she was originally a nonsense person, how could she withstand Zhang Hanqing's fanning the flames? Although her head was still shaking like a rattle, her eager eyes had betrayed her: "Isn't it? Daddy knows I'm messing around, so he's going to do something to me. ”
Just this encouragement, how can Zhang Hanqing not strike while the iron is hot? He said regretfully: "Shibo is in charge of the preparation ceremony for the president's ascension, this ceremony is to be lively, the bigger the movement, the better, after all, no one wants to be the emperor of the closed door, right?" He may have said that he was not allowed to do this or that, but he was afraid that he would have already blossomed in his heart. Shibo won the lottery, and there is no one who can say that his sister can do it? ”
Zhu Songyun listened to his mouth like a lotus, and said violently: "My business, what are you doing so enthusiastically?" Come over here! ”
