Chapter 33: Brothers and Sisters Are Ruthless

Yuan Keding, who was ordered by Feng Lun, acted immediately, and quickly found out Yuan Kewen's whereabouts through the people of the "Jingshi Law Enforcement Department" who were close to him---- this is not a secret, but the speed is faster and there are fewer detours. Taking advantage of the fact that his father is angry now, if he doesn't take the opportunity to cook the rice, he is not Yuan Keding.

He is so enthusiastic just because in his heart, this second brother has always been a thorn.

Although Yuan Kewen has this or that bad, and is good at becoming a literati and saying that he "aspires to be a scholar", showing contempt for the powerful, he has no advantages in doing it. Both brothers are profligate, willful, and arrogant playboy personalities, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and smoking (opium), but Yuan Kewen writes poems, fills in words, and writes articles, but he is also good at calligraphy, and the words he writes are called dashing. In addition, he also loves to sing Kunqu Opera, and Xiaosheng and Ugly play it very well. Such a versatile young man is very famous in the Beijing circle, and the above shortcomings are not shortcomings in him, they are elegant, graceful, and full of scenery.

And he is the second ancestor in the population of Beijing, who does not learn and has no skills, and specializes in burning the qin and cooking cranes. The four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not distinguished, and he occupies all the vices of the children of the Eight Banners. Even my dad can't stand this.

And he also has a very fatal flaw: he has a leg disease. It was three years ago when he broke his leg while riding a horse, and he has been disabled for life.

To be an official in China, it is very important to look good. Even ancient officials had to go through a review of "body and words" before becoming officials, and only after passing could they truly become officials. The reason for looking at the image is to improve the external image of the official group (that is, the face project), and the second is that the ancients believed that "each other is born from the heart" (in fact, people now also believe in it), and the correct "heart" will have a decent appearance, and the obscene mind must also be obscene (history tells us how unreliable this theory is).

For this reason, Yuan Keding's heart has always been heavy, and he has also sunk for a while. As a father, Yuan Shikai was very sad to see it, so he sent him to Germany the following year to continue treatment, but in the end he still failed to heal his leg.

If Dad doesn't make up his mind for a day, the position of the prince will be vacant for a day, and there will be more variables. Although the half-brother "second brother" has no covetous heart for this at present, he can't stand the long nights and dreams, and he can't keep the blessing from reaching his heart one day. He knows his own family affairs, with his status in his father's heart, and the kindness of being adopted by Yuan Shikai Zhengfang since he was a child, he is afraid that he will not be able to compete. Since ancient times, there has been no family affection, and everything is possible before the moment the dust settles. In history, the crown prince has never competed for the prince, at least there was no eldest son in the former Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, if you can hit Yuan Kewen's chance, Yuan Keding will definitely not pay attention to the righteousness of any brothers, and the heavenly family has no family affection.

But after all, you still have to take care of face: it's not Yuan Kewen, but the impact on yourself. Even Cao Pi used Cao Zhi as a method of seven-step poems, are people today not as smart as the ancients? If he blindly does it, not only will others think that his eldest brother is too forceful---- after all, he is eighteen years older than Yuan Kewen. In history, those who "kill" their younger brothers with their brothers will inevitably be capitalized and featured in the history books, even in their father's place, and they will inevitably think that they have borrowed the topic to play, although he is indeed borrowing the topic to play, and this "question" is still his own.

was slapped in the face in public, Yuan Keding was a little out of the stage, but fortunately he came prepared. He stared at Yuan Kewen and said: "My father is the president and is deeply loved by the people. You are also his son, how can you be willing to fall and be with the drama all day long? Spread it out, where will your father's face go? ”

At that time, the status of singing opera was very low, on par with the excellent thief. Unlike now, those who can sing a little tune are called singers, those who play tricks are called actors, and those who do these things in state-owned units are called people's artists. At that time, anyone who could do something legitimate to make a living was not willing to run into this business. Yuan Kewen had such good conditions to take this road, and in the evaluation of the mainstream society at that time, he was "willing to degenerate".

Yuan Keding used the tone of the eldest brother teaching the younger brother a lesson this time, so there was nothing wrong with spreading it. Yuan Kewen blushed, and said angrily: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" I sing by the audience, and I rely on my mouth and feet, not asking for people, and not stealing people. I am above board, I am self-reliant, how can I disgrace my father? ”

Some of the people who were watching from a distance saw that the brothers did not look like they were fighting each other, and they all dared to get closer at this time. When Yuan Keding said something that was not appropriate for being with the actors, some old drama bones couldn't help but "call out", and no longer cared about the people with guns around him. I love life, but I love the truth even more. Yuan Kewen said what was in their hearts, and of course everyone praised it "good"!

The Lord humiliated his ministers to death. There is no shortage of loyal people around Yuan Keding, and when he saw that Xiao Yuan had lost face, a handsome middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward lightly and said, "The second son's words are wrong. If the power is not heavy, it will not be done. The president is the leader of tens of thousands of people, and the words and deeds of the second son will affect the people's perception of the president. In terms of personal hobbies, there is nothing wrong with the second son, but if it is for the sake of the country, it is really not appropriate for the second son to show up and make a living. ”

His words were very reasonable, and Yuan Keding echoed cooperatively: "Master Yang's words are exactly what I want." The second brother is a member of my Yuan family, and at this extraordinary time, he should know how to act in restraint and think that others are in control. ”

Yuan Kewen seemed to know that the status of that "Yang Shi" was extraordinary, and he had always been weak, so he no longer refuted. When Yuan Keding saw it, he felt that this was a rare opportunity for the second brother to bow down, and to show his "big brother's mind" to the outside world, so he said earnestly: "Second brother, my father is angry about this, as the eldest brother, although I try to turn around, but the younger brother hurts my father's heart too much." Now is a critical moment, both public and private, and the second brother can no longer make his father angry. ”

As the saying goes, dogs can't change eating, although his words are high-sounding, but Yuan Keding, who knows Yuan Kewen's temper well, is very happy in his heart: what he should say, as a big brother, he has done it. But whether his second brother takes the card, he is eighty or nine percent sure. His words were just for others to hear, especially Cai Yi, who was compensating Zhang Hanqing not far away.

Sure enough, Yuan Kewen is determined to take his artistic path. He understands Yuan Keding, just as he understands the art of Peking Opera, and he has read it thoroughly from his bones. The eldest brother kept advising himself to stop singing, but if he didn't, he would be more worried than anyone else about shifting his hobby to politics. Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, this eldest brother who has never cared about himself suddenly fulfilled the responsibility of the eldest brother, he began to worry, and an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.

However, the top priority is to first clear up the affairs of the two fans---- they are both like-minded. Although he is weak, he is very honorable: "Big brother, on my father's side, I will go and explain to him, and besides, my father is also allowed to sing." You came here just to ask me to go back, so I'll go with you, and let my father do it. ”

Yuan Keding knew that with his father's doting on this second brother, if he went back like this, this matter would definitely be over. If you want to provoke your father's anger, you must take the opportunity to make things bigger. The remarks of the two fans are exactly their own taboo. Since they can talk in private, it means that it is difficult for others to empathize. In any case, I can't spare them easily. He looked at Yuan Kewen's makeup and suddenly had an idea.

He said to Yuan Kewen: "In this case, the second brother will come with me," he looked at a few people behind him: "These two people privately slandered the president's family, I don't know what the purpose, in this extraordinary period, I think they can be sent to the 'Jingshi Law Enforcement Department' for detailed inquiry!" ”

What kind of institution is the "Beijing Division Law Enforcement Department", there is almost no one in Beijing who does not know, it is similar to the role of the CIA in the United States, the Central Unification, the Military Command, and the Ministry of State Security in later generations.

Fans are still not fully immersed in the play, and they still know the depths. When I heard that I was going to such a place, I was shocked. Yuan Kewen's face also changed, and he said sharply: "No! ”

It's just an ordinary person who tells the truth, and to him is also a witness and righteous man who is unfortunate to himself, how can he let him go to death? The two fans also heard the depth, and immediately fell to their knees with a thud, shouting: "Eldest son, we are just talking nonsense by hearsay, but we can't afford to go to that kind of place!" You are doing well, give us a way to live! It's a pity that Yuan Keding's subordinates didn't buy their words. At that moment, a few people rushed up and held down the two of them, and some people found ropes to tie them up.

Listening to the pleading of the fans and the rude methods of a few thugs, Yuan Kewen didn't know where he got the courage, and he shouted: "Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, big brother does this, is there still a king in his eyes?" "I dare to sing a lot, and I also speak with words.

Seeing that he openly accused himself, Yuan Keding's true form was revealed, and he no longer needed to sing with this younger brother in a fake show. He said coldly: "The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. Let's think about how to meet your father first! He ordered his subordinates: "Take the second master home!" ”

Yuan Kewen looks like a weak scholar, how can he beat a group of wolf-like thugs? Despite his struggles, a group of people pushed and shoved him so that he was pulled away without touching his feet. Suddenly remembered something, he had just finished singing a scene, he hadn't removed his makeup yet, and he was still wearing a costume. What kind of system does it become to go out like this? He shouted, "Let me wash my face before I leave!" ”

Yuan Keding snorted coldly and said, "What kind of face do you wash?" The Yuan family's face has long been lost by you! ”

Great, it's just the right time for dad to see what his precious son is. Don't believe it, after that, Dad still has the mood to let him sit as the prince?
