The scene of the conflict in the theater was reported to Lu Jianzhang by the spies of the Jingshi Law Enforcement Department, and it was also told to President Yuan Da locally.

Yes, the original. As the director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Beijing Division and the head of Yuan Shikai's largest intelligence agency of the Beiyang warlords, Lu Jianzhang is deeply trusted and very alert---- ordinary people cannot be stable in this position.

He knows very well that the succession to the throne has always been a thunder pool, and it is difficult to pull it out once he gets involved. For the eldest son who is brave and unscrupulous, and has a desire for profit, he does not give hope; For the second son, who is immersed in opera, he is even less emotional. At this critical moment, he will not have any favoritism or tendencies in the conflict between the two, everything is based on the facts---- let Lao Yuan decide for himself.

No one knows what Lao Yuan wants to do, but Duan Hongye was beaten by his father firmly.

"Evil obstacles! What did I tell you, don't get involved in the affairs of the Yuan family, you always can't listen! I have already made it clear that I will not listen, ask, or enter Xiangcheng's persuasion. You are my eldest son, and what you do will inevitably be mistaken by others for me to engage in duplicity, where is this going to put me? This is Duan Qirui's gnashing of anger.

Duan Hongye covered his buttocks, which was red, and said loudly unwillingly: "I also approached Master Yuan for the sake of my father!" The father did not agree to persuade him, and was regarded as a betrayal by the president. Although his father broke away from the military for this reason, Hu Wei is especially here, how can the president be unprepared? I'm not in the military and political circles, I'm only close to Yuan Dagongzi, what can others say? And I did all the nonsense before, and I just deliberately made my reputation stink, so that I couldn't say anything to my father inside and out. If the matter ends up as my father said, my father can declare that I am making my own opinion, and I will never implicate my father; In case the first president becomes the emperor, and there is Yuan Dagongzi to ease his cheeks, his father will not completely break with the new dynasty in the future. ”

In the end, it is a tiger father and no dog, and after hearing and witnessing, he is also a little anxious. His opinion, whether it was true or false, but Duan Qirui chose to believe it. Also, being the son of this Tiger of the North Seas, no matter how good he is, he will not be so bad that he can't tell the overall situation.

Duan Qirui sighed, stretched out his hand to pull him up, changed his tone and said, "I am very happy that you can do things with humiliation and burdens like this, as a father." But Xiang Cheng's claim to be the emperor is too risky, and a group of old Beiyang subordinates who originally followed him were opposed, but he couldn't listen to any persuasion, and he was surrounded by a bunch of stalkers like Yang Du. Hua Fu (Feng Guozhang's character) will not be the first one. In June, Xiang Cheng lied to him that he would not be persuaded to enter, but it was only a long time before the wind was already rising. Hua Fu returned to Nanjing, believing that Yuan had deceived him, believing that if Yuan was in the right position, his head would not be saved. If something happens in the future, not only can you not count on his strength, but you also have to prevent him from fighting back. ”

Sure enough, he is a big man, and his deduction of human nature is basically in line with historical records.

Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and Wang Shizhen are the three heroes of Beiyang, and the people of the time called Duan Qirui, who was often cruel in appearance, "the tiger of Beiyang", and Feng Guozhang, who was loyal to Beiyang and good at fighting, "the dog of Beiyang". After the establishment of the Republic of China, Feng Guozhang was appointed governor to avoid Jiangsu, while Duan Qirui was in the center and held the important position of army chief.

Both of them are Yuan Shikai's right-hand men and confidants, but Yuan Shikai, who is good at scheming, is not completely at ease with the two of them, and often uses Wang Shizhen, who is good at scheming and scheming in the womb and is known as the "Dragon of the North Ocean", to balance them to form a three-legged situation. But compared with the "tiger" and "dog", Wang Shizhen often regards himself as a celebrity for politics, and he disappears from time to time: he comes out to preside over the overall situation, and then he returns to his hometown in hiding, wandering in the mountains and forests, which is extremely mysterious. It is known as the "dragon", taking the meaning of "the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail", which is chic and detached but has no real power.

These Beiyang generals obeyed Yuan Shikai, but they did not mean that they were loyal to Yuan Keding. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Yuan Shikai followed the example of Song Taizu and started the idea of "releasing military power with a glass of wine". His approach was to create a military system in addition to the Beiyang Army, while recovering power, and transferring the power of the army chief to the generalissimo of the navy and army; A model regiment was also set up, which was in charge of Yuan Keding, and all the rookies of the Beiyang Army were recruited for their use.

Because of this incident, Duan Qirui simply resigned and quit. And Yuan Shikai was even more desperate, and even agreed directly. Duan Qirui never asked about the world, if it weren't for Duan Hongye's recent prominence, he would never have had such a heartfelt exchange with him.

Just when Duan Hongye succeeded in making the trouble caused by his attachment to Yuan Keding about to disappear, the porter came to report: "Master and young master, there is a young man at the door who claims to be a good friend, and the young man calls himself Zhang Xueliang. ”

Duan Hongye almost jumped up---- he didn't talk about the loss in public, and now people are still bullying him, is it really a park for Duan Mansion? But the Father is there, and there is really no opportunity for him to manifest. He said to Duan Qirui: "This is this person, the eldest son of the Fengtian general Duan Qirui, who fought with his son. ”

Duan Qirui pondered it, and finally didn't think of what friendship he had with Zhang Zuolin and what this young man was doing here. But once a man has been outside the door, he will not be able to refuse a thousand miles, you must know that in his short thought, he has already made up his mind. He said to the porter, "Let him in." ”

For six consecutive army commanders, Duan Zhai really doesn't have anyone who can come in, even Zhang Zuolin, he has to make an appointment in advance, and he won't come to visit rashly. But time has passed, and Duan Qirui, who has other ideas, still decided to let Zhang Hanqing in.

After a while, the porter came in with a half-old child, who was really young. Although he is not very tall, he is well nourished, and it is obvious that puberty is growing; He does not squint and smiles slightly, showing a good family background; He was neither humble nor arrogant, and respectfully performed the etiquette of a junior to Duan Qirui; He was dressed very plainly, not like the ordinary *** and the common brocade clothes of the rich second generation, but he still couldn't hide the spirit exuding from his body. He said aloud: "The nephew Xueliang has asked Shibo to say goodbye." ”

The person on the other side is Duan Qirui, a famous Beiyang guest? It's not good-looking. After the crossing, he gradually visited a series of characters, especially the audience with Yuan Shikai, which made him quite cheerful "except for Wushan is not a cloud". President Yuan, the most famous president in modern history, did not have so much pressure when he saw his subordinate Duan Qirui. What's the matter, this predecessor of my brother is also a person who worked with him.

Duan Qirui's impression at first glance was very good. He hated suits the most in his life, especially disliked stiff collars and leather shoes, and legend has it that when he wore a tuxedo, he asked for help, which is stupid. He also did not like military uniforms, and often wore Chinese clothes, which was very casual, so his frugal style was also, and when playing against his colleagues, he still used sleeve protectors to keep clean.

Zhang Hanqing did what he liked, changed into the suit and leather shoes when he met Yuan Shikai, and appeared with a casual appearance, which really made Duan Qirui's favor increase. Such a child will take the initiative to provoke Duan Hongye? The devil believes it.

Knowing that the other party was Zhang Zuolin's son, and he also visited as a junior, Duan Qirui did not trust him. He raised his hand and said politely: "Since I am a child of Yuting, I can afford to be a Shibo." My nephew, please sit down, come here, serve tea. As he spoke, he paid attention to Zhang Hanqing's movements.

can be immersed in Beiyang, this qi cultivation kung fu is not in vain. Duan Qirui knew countless people, and the moment he met Zhang Hanqing, he almost doubted his own vision. The very delicate and slightly jerky child in front of him is really the one who fought with Hongye? This child's calmness has far surpassed that of his peers, can Zhang Zuolin still give birth to such a magnanimous son?

Zhang Hanqing didn't sit down, he stood honestly and said: "Xueliang doesn't dare, in fact, my nephew took the liberty to come here to ask my brother for guilt." ”

Duan Qi, who already knew the origin of the incident, flashed his eyes: "Oh, but why? ”

Zhang Hanqing said with remorse: "My nephew had a dispute with my brother in the theater today, and I didn't know who it was at the time, so I was rash and rude. Later, I learned that I had offended my brother, so I regretted it. My father often taught and learned, and he only admired one person in this life, that is, Shibo, who is called a hero who is not born in the world today, and asked me to visit Shibo for him when I came to Beijing. I didn't expect that I would deal with Brother Shibo in this way, and I was really shameless to see my father again. Xueliang came here to ask Brother Shibo for his guilt, and he never dared to have any resentment when he was beaten and scolded, which also made my psychology better. ”

This sentence is reasonable, if Zhang Hanqing didn't know that he had been brewing for a long time, this kind of sincerity would even be believed by himself. But who is Duan Qirui? These little tricks can't get on his table. Besides, in this matter, as his elder, it is impossible for this "beating and scolding" to happen, don't you underestimate his IQ and demeanor?

Not only did he have to be open-minded to say that he was not to blame for the past, but he also wanted to teach Duan Hongye a lesson again. "Teaching children before people, training wives after people", as he is deeply baptized by traditional Chinese culture, and in front of the younger generations, the basic posture must be sufficient. It's just that Duan Hongye has suffered like this, knowing that the training is fake, and he has to change his mind.

Zhang Hanqing didn't come to see a joke, nor did he come to complain, he came sincerely. At this time, it was inevitable to plead: "It's all the nephew's fault, if the uncle scolds the brother, it will be embarrassing the nephew." ”

Duan Qirui also accepted it when he saw it, and he said to Duan Hongye sharply: "No matter what filth you have, you are his brother, you have to let him do it, right?" Don't invite Xueliang to sit down yet! Duan Hongye didn't dare to disobey, but he slandered in his stomach: "My father is too involved in acting, what kind of thing, how can I know that I am still his 'brother' when I fight!" ”

Duan Qirui made this gesture for nothing else, because before Zhang Hanqing arrived, he thought about one thing clearly.

The expected national turmoil, he is going to make plans for the post-Yuan Shikai era. Once the matter of the great president claiming the emperor becomes a fact, it will definitely not be good, and when the time comes, he just wants to go back and be his president honestly, and it is no longer possible for him to sit in the situation. Of course, there must be some people who are not convinced, at least Huafu has to fight, and whoever can win the foreign aid group at this time will be able to sit firmly. Looking around the north, only the northeast can threaten itself, and the northeast is the strongest Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian.

Take this opportunity to find out his hole cards is the most important. Don't look at Zhang Zuolin's persuasion and dedication, he seems to be very enthusiastic, but Duan Qirui doesn't believe in these things. The true face of a politician cannot be seen at all until the picture is exhausted.

It just so happened that Zhang Hanqing came, and it was good to ask him if he had something to say. As Zhang Zuolin's eldest son, it is inevitable that his true meaning will be unconsciously exposed. No matter how witty he is, under his own discernment, there will always be some clues, after all, he is a half-grown child in terms of age.

And instead of waiting until then, wouldn't it be better to have a chance to send it to your door now? Compared to the fight between the two juniors, political interests are the most important. The filthiness of the two is not worth mentioning at all.

So Duan Qirui smiled and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Brother Yuting asked you to come to Beijing, did you have anything to say?" ”
