Chapter 64: Road Fury
Pu Yi, who was too young to speak, sat in the car, he was only a 9-year-old child, and he was deaf to everything that was happening outside.
After the abdication of the last emperor, according to the treaty signed with the government of the Republic of China, he, the emperor, could indeed do as written in his abdication edict, "to retire and relax, to enjoy the years, to receive the good gifts of the people, and to see the completion of Zhizhi". The original Praetorian Guard, the commander of the infantry army, still exists, and he still has supra-national treatment, "the Republic of China treats the monarchs of various countries with courtesy, and the original private property is protected by the Republic of China."
The Summer Palace is his private property, the royal garden, and it is also intended for him as a permanent residence after leaving the Forbidden City. However, when the imperial system has been abolished, people from all walks of life strongly demanded that the Summer Palace be opened to the public as a park, and the government of the Republic of China finally completed the matter.
However, the Summer Palace was still under the daily management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the infantry commander Yamen was responsible for security. As the last emperor, Pu Yi still has personal freedom, but out of the Forbidden City, he can only come to this once private garden to lament the withering of the royal family. At this time, the pomp of the last emperor still has to be talked about, and martial law and purification are indispensable, because his two imperial concubines are going to accompany him. With the dignity of a dignified concubine and an emperor, how can she show her face?
All matters have always been done by the people sent by the Jiang Dynasty Sect. Commander Jiang was one of the few officials of the Republic of China who had a good impression of the Qing imperial family, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. But something is wrong today, why do you keep stopping and not leaving? In the past, I drove directly into the Summer Palace.
He called a little eunuch: "What's the matter?" ”
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was founded for 200 years, and as the last emperor in history, he did not have any other attainments, but this Beijing accent was correct and round. As soon as he spoke, the eunuch who followed the car immediately went to understand the situation.
The thing is very simple, that is, there is such a person, who braves the disapproval of the world and blocks the emperor's way out of the patrol.
Pu Yi ascended the throne at the age of three, and he was still crying at that time, causing his companion next to him to say "It's almost over" and a word of prophecy. By the time I can remember what it was like to be an emperor, the world has changed hands.
At the beginning, the orphans and widows were deceived by Yuan Shikai, forget it, people have military power. But being lost face by the former fart people, is it unbearable, can't you provoke Lao Yuan, can you still be caught by Xiaoxiao? So as soon as Pu Yi heard that someone was blocking the road with a car, he urged repeatedly: "The infantry commander Yamen led people to blow him away for me!" ”
It is estimated that in the past, the word "boom" was only afraid that it would become the word "cut".
Without his orders, there were already guards who had already stepped forward. The responsibility lies, although it is the salary of the government of the Republic of China, this department is still directly responsible for the security of Emperor Xun.
A leader-like figure stepped forward first: "Who is it?" Dare to block the emperor's travel! ”
Zhang Hanqing replied lightly: "Citizens of the Republic of China!" ”
At this time, Zhu Songyun sat in the co-pilot, and he didn't sit up and down. This Han Qing is so annoying, what kind of anger is he vomiting with a Sun Emperor? Although she is in the limelight, she is in a beautiful social circle, surrounded by the sons of the family, how can she be watched like a monkey by a group of men, women and children?
The leader was taken aback by these words, and this light tone and disdainful tone showed that the other party must have a lot of background. When he didn't know how to deal with it, he suddenly saw Zhu Songyun next to Zhang Hanqing, and his face changed. In Beijing, who doesn't know the famous Miss Zhu San if he has a little face?
The GIs are not afraid of her social scene, but she has a backstage, and the chief of internal affairs who is in charge of the national police is her father! As we all know, Chief Zhu and his boss Commander Jiang have always been very unfriendly, so there won't be anything boring here, right?
The full name of the commander of the infantry army is "the commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gate Infantry Army", which is commonly known as the "Nine Gate Commander", and the official rank is from the first grade, which is equivalent to the current commander of the Beijing Garrison and the director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, which can be described as a high authority. It can even affect the deposition of the emperor. Only in this way, the commander of the infantry army played a pivotal role in the struggle for power in the Qing Dynasty. The supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the selection of the commander of the infantry army, and he could not hold this position unless he was a Manchu or a confidant.
After the establishment of the Republic of China, the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, was still retained because of its importance, and it was called "the Yamen of the Beijing Division Infantry Army". Because in the early years of the Republic of China, many of the royal gardens in the western suburbs belonging to the former Qing Dynasty royal family were all changed to the Yamen under the command of the infantry army to be responsible for the management and protection work.
If this is considered a new wine in an old bottle, there is nothing to praise, the key is that Lao Yuan does not know what he has done, and still let him continue to be responsible for the social security and security of the capital, which conflicts with the police functions established later. Perhaps, Lao Yuan's original intention was to let these two departments compete with each other, so he should balance it.
So Jiang Chaozong, who served as the commander of the infantry, and Zhu Qichao, who served as the head of the police, that is, the chief of internal affairs, naturally had a conflict... Since both of them were Lao Yuan's cronies, neither side was left behind for a while. In the heart of the leader, do you know that the other party is deliberately finding fault? Because Miss Zhu San is here...
He didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he urgently sent someone to inform Commander Jiang. The gods fight, why let the little ghosts complain? Besides, his duty is only to protect the holy driver, and when he encounters troublemakers, there is no matter of principle.
But Pu Yi didn't do it, he still stayed in the atmosphere of all kinds of people in the small world of the Forbidden City who were respectful to him, he rolled down the window of the car, and said sharply with a child's voice: "Who is so bold, the infantry yamen doesn't hurry up and take him down!" ”
The leader smiled bitterly, if it's really so good, you still need to talk all the time?
Zhang Hanqing followed the voice and looked, just opposite Pu Yi's gaze. Is this the last emperor? It doesn't seem to look good, and there are signs of baring teeth. If he wore the military uniform of the Japanese army that invaded China later, he would be a devil alive, which made him very disappointed.
"Who are you?" Zhang Hanqing asked rhetorically.
"I am the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom!" Pu Yi is just a child after all, and he can't understand the coldness in Zhang Hanqing's words. In his mind, the name of this "emperor" is a role that resounded in the sky and was the only one.
"Oh? Is there still a Great Qing Kingdom? How did I not know? I only know that there was a great Qing dynasty in the previous dynasty, but because of corruption, its emperor was ousted, is that you? ”
Pu Yi was cowardly and could not speak. The disgraceful history of his ancestors, and the nest of his own generation, make him really have nothing to say. And since the guards don't work, he's a child, it's like fart.
This has never happened! Since the abdication, Yuan Shikai, in order to show the "helpless" mood of a former courtier, has given them quite good arrangements: not only have guards in and out, nominally have face, but also really set aside four million taels of real money and silver every year for the royal family to consume.
What is the concept of four million taels? Exchanging gold, buying grain, and equivalents in later renminbi are not enough to explain its true value. But if you were told that one silver dollar was enough to buy a Beijing snack for 150 people at that time, how would you feel?
Too comfortable an environment will make people degenerate, not to mention that the children of the Eight Banners of the late Qing Dynasty originally belonged to the degenerate group, and the royal family was not. The little emperor Puyi, who was lying on the "merit book" of his ancestors and was ready to enjoy the second half of his life (in fact, the second half of his life), could not have imagined that there would be people who would openly and dare to embarrass him. And all of a sudden, he felt as if he had no way to deal with it!
He was scared: "You, what do you want to do?" ”
Uh, I don't know, brother is just out of a moment of righteous indignation, okay? Brother just can't get used to you being able to live so leisurely after you have lost your power and humiliated the country, not only do you not have any explanation to the people, but you also want to continue to climb on the people's heads. Those obedient and foolish people who knelt on the ground and respected him like a fairy were the truth of his anger.
"I don't want to do anything! I'm just telling you that in the history of China, there has never been a former emperor who has been able to live as nourishingly as you! Although not every emperor who stepped down died well, none of them did so much harm to China! You obediently hide in your Forbidden City, and there may be a chance for you to die well, and then you will swagger through the market and put the emperor on the shelf, and the sky will not allow you! ”
Zhang Hanqing was indignant, like a teacher who failed to learn well, and even he didn't know why he was so angry all of a sudden. Ever since his body signaled his physiological maturity in the morning, he began to repress.
Pu Yi is a child, so naturally he doesn't know how to deal with Zhang Hanqing, an older child than him, but there are still two adults in the car. These two, one is called Zhuang He Huang Guifei, and the other is called Jingyi Huang Guifei, they have also seen the world and experienced the emperor's abdication, of course, they have a little confidence. One of them couldn't help but roll down the window and said: "The Qing family has already abdicated, and President Yuan Da has not killed all our orphans and widows, who are you?" What more do you want? ”
This was a bit heavy, and President Yuan Da was brought out, but this aroused Zhang Hanqing's anger even more. If it weren't for this great president, he would be working on his great plan to rejuvenate the country in Mukden now, right? Whether it is praised by Jiang and Cai for their military foresight, or praised by Gu Weijun for their political knowledge, it is all false. I have a great plan for militarism, but I am forced to be trapped here and eat and drink passively waiting for the situation to change!
Therefore, he said unceremoniously: "Then you should be more grateful!" You should also have the consciousness of Emperor Xun! It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you know that the Xinhai Revolution has removed your throne, and if you are not careful, you won't even have a place to live! Not only you, but even your ancestors will not be able to live underground! ”
Didn't Pu Yi become the emperor of Manchukuo in later generations? Finally, he entered the Fushun War Criminals Management Center. If it weren't for the government's tolerance, it would not be surprising that he would have been ruined. In the end, he became an ordinary citizen of Beijing, and it didn't end well compared to his several wives.
Wasn't Cixi's tomb dug up? She had a glorious life, but when she died, she was thrown into the wilderness by the red fruit.
In this sense, Zhang Hanqing is right. It's just that before the truth is known, who will believe the prophecy that is unfavorable to them?
