Cai Naihuang's appointment as the anti-smoking commissioner of the three provinces has a dark plate, and he promised Yuan Keding to raise 3 million yuan for the imperial sports expenses, which was guaranteed by Zhou Xuexi, the chief financial officer, so there was this personnel order.

It turned out that after the establishment of the Republic of China, the provinces have made achievements in banning smoking, and since the second year of the Republic of China, Indian tobacco has stopped being transported into China, and there have been more than ten provinces. According to the provisions of the Sino-British anti-smoking treaty in the third year of Guangxu, since the third year of the Republic of China, the opium cigarettes that can be imported are only stored in the old incense. More than 14,200 boxes at the port and Shanghai customs stacks.

A total of 6,650 boxes were sold in the three years of the Republic of China, and more than 1,600 boxes were sold from January to April of the fourth year of the Republic of China, and only 6,000 boxes were left in the end.

Believing that the success of China's smoking ban was a foregone conclusion, the business of selling tobacco was soon to end, and they rushed to sell out their stocks.

After several private discussions with Cai Naihuang, the cigarette merchants paid an additional fee of 4,500 yuan per box in addition to paying taxes according to the original agreement, and a total of more than 27 million yuan was obtained in the calculation of 6,000 boxes. Cai used this money to fund the imperial movement, so everyone was happy and got their place.

In order to be the emperor, Yuan Shikai and his accomplices can be described as frenzied, and they have used all kinds of despicable means, and they really do everything.

On December 11, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the Beijing Senate claimed to be the chief representative of the National Assembly and recommended the letter to Yuan Gong. In the text, the phrase "my holy lord" is used instead of "my great president".

The letter was drafted by the Secretariat of the Senate and read aloud by the secretary, and unanimously approved it, and the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m. on the 11th.

The full text of the first recommendation is as follows:

"The national body has been decided, and the destiny of heaven is complete. Country. Country.

And the country's supreme and complete sovereignty is dedicated to the emperor, inheriting the heavens and building the pole, and passing on the eternal causes. At the same time, the National Congresses entrusted the Legislative Yuan as the general representative. Country. Public opinion, calling on the emperor to ascend to the pole. Emperor Stealing Wei was instructed to unify the Xia region, and he would be able to raise things with benevolence and overthrow the people, and he would also use the gods and martial arts to fight the chaos.

"Book" cloud: One person has a celebration, and Zhaomin relies on it. "Poem" said: Yan and Huangtian, after Kechang. Gai Wei should be obedient to the sky, and the husband is to return to the sky and the sky. Traced back to the Qing Emperor's failure to govern, the people were in trouble, the appeal was reckless, and the collapse was successful. Sin oneself and the people do not conceive, fate will be and the teacher is not martial, my holy lord should be lucky, the thin sea view is from, the rebel is reformed, the obedient is deadly, and the country will be overturned, and my holy lord will be in peace. Emperor Si Qing had no choice but to abdicate the throne, and the emperor's destiny began to gather in my holy lord, and my holy lord had and lived in Fu.

The people who are left alone are at rest, but my holy lord is truly at rest. Si Shi Nanjing Zheng. The government had to be disbanded, and the emperor ordered him to gather in my holy lord again, and my holy lord still has and Fu Ju also.

"Min. The kingdom is completed, the Quartet is harmonious, the ugly steals the handle, the evil is not broken, the army is forbearant, and the self-escape is overloaded, and my holy lord is furious, and he is threatened, and the heavens are punished, and the end of Lent is determined. So that the most benevolent and unbenevolent, cover the conquest and fight to the death. Those who are righteous and righteous will return first and be blessed. Those who are not far away will be washed later. Only my Lord is really nurtured and safe. When the great calamity is peaceful, the whole country is unified, the emperor is destined for the heavens, and the three episodes are in my holy lord, and my holy lord is stubborn and humble, and there is still a blessing. The husband is only the emperor and the emperor, the saint has no heart to benefit the world, and the people will be born in the land, and the trillion people will be the virtue of one person. In the past, when the country was first established, the members of the Senate elected the provisional president, and the hearts of the people of the whole country were returned to our holy lord, and the fortune of the country was prosperous. Following the establishment of this Congress, the members of the Senate House of Representatives elected the President, and the hearts of the people of the whole country were returned to our Holy Lord, and the foundation of the country was determined.

"Ran Gong. And. National body, no. Fit Country. Love, there is no way to build a grand plan to protect the world, and there is no way to seek long-term peace and stability. If the people have something to give, they will take something. If you go, you will return. Today's heaven is the people's heart, and the whole is complete. The nation is united in order to build an empire. The people return to Shengde, and they are complete. The country is united in order to promote the emperor. Our Chinese civilization is an ancient state of 5,000 years of imperial system. My emperor is wise and martial, and he is the head of the heart of hundreds of millions of surnames. I am willing to look up to the emperor and bow to public opinion. Ascend the great treasure and the herd herd, perform the supreme and economic Liuhe. Emperor Xuan's gods, it is advisable to build a pole to inherit the sky, and the rules of the successor to the Emperor Xuan should soothe the people and live forever. Sincerely. ”

In addition, the Senate sent the following message to Yuan Shikai:

"In accordance with the petition of the people, this House of Representatives has decided to resolve the matter by the National Assembly, and to propose a bill for promulgation by the President. This court met on 11 December to collect 1,993 national deputies throughout the country, and to advocate the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Country. The will of the people has determined the constitutional monarchy.

"All the laws and regulations of the Republic of China shall remain in force except for those provisions that conflict with the state system and do not apply. He also received a telegram from the national congresses of all provinces and autonomous regions, unanimously recommending President Dai as emperor. The statutes of the Fucha Emperor's family have been common in all dynasties, and its "Law on the Election of the President" has also been repealed of course. I hereby remit a general list of the votes for the decision of the National Congress, and the letter of recommendation of the general delegates of the National Congress and the national representatives of all provinces and autonomous regions, as well as the telegram of the people from all walks of life, and send it with a letter of consultation, which shall be requested to be implemented by the President Junjian. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shikai pretended to return the book and replied to the Senate in a message:

"The Statute states that the sovereignty of the Republic of China rests with the whole people, and since the National Assembly voted unanimously to adopt a constitutional monarchy, the President has no room for discussion. But push and wear, no one can be frightened. Born to be a king of the people, it is not easy to have a great life, and only those who have great merit and virtue are enough to live in it. The president of this university has been in politics for three years, and he has experienced many incidents and has made no achievements at the beginning; The transformation of the Republic of China has gone through four years, disasters and disasters, sorrows, and many failures, and there are no supporters who have been saved, and there is no way to cure them, how can there be meritorious deeds enough to be praised? In the past, there was no ambition to come out. encountered changes in the world, and the fallacy was pushed by public opinions, so he had to be reluctant to maintain.

"Sacrifice your life to save your country. However, in the winter of Xinhai, he once lived in a political position, and he was not helpful to the national economy, nor was it helpful to the people's livelihood, and he was ashamed to cherish the memory of the old king. If you suddenly become a big position today, how can you be at peace in your heart? This cannot be unashamed of morality; At the beginning of the establishment of the Republic of China, the president of the University swore to the Senate: I am willing to do my best to carry forward the republic, and if the emperor is self-reliant, it is to reneg on the oath, which is incomprehensible to the faith. When the President was officially inaugurated, he made a sincere declaration, but he knew that he would save the country and the people, and he did not dare to know the success or failure, and he did not dare to count the reputation of hard work and rest.

But asking oneself about one's merits is not enough, and how can one ignore all the great ends of moral faith? The representatives of the people who love me cannot bear to force me to be difficult. It is still hoped that the general deputies of the National Congress and others will be well prepared and considered, and will be recommended separately to consolidate the foundation of the country. During this period, the President of the University shall maintain the status quo of the whole country in his original name and in the present functions and powers. In addition to the declaration of the decree, the court shall be consulted accordingly, and the letter of recommendation of the general representative of the National Congress, and the letter of recommendation of the national representatives of all provinces and autonomous regions shall be returned. This counsellor is the Executive Yuan. ”

In the history of China, there was a person who opened a precedent in Chinese history to become an emperor through (Fu Ming) Chan. In the eight years from the Duke of An Han to Zai Heng to the False Emperor to the True Emperor, in addition to the aristocratic revolution and the plebeian revolution, the Chinese dynasties set another example of usurpation. This person is Wang Mang.

Wang Mang, the word Jujun, was a native of Yuancheng County, Wei County (now Daming County, Hebei Province), a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty, the second son of Wang Man, the king of Xinxian, the nephew of Wang Zhengjun, the empress of Xiaoyuan, and the founding emperor of the new dynasty.

This is a very controversial figure in history, after he became the emperor, he changed the Tianxia Tian to Wang Tian, and replaced the private field with Wang Tian; Slaves and maids were renamed private belongings, and like Wang Tian, they were not allowed to buy or sell. Subsequently, the currency system and the official system were reformed, and the salt and iron government were stipulated, and the mountains and rivers were nationalized. Therefore, he was hailed by some as a reformer, calling him a productive and outstanding statesman.

However, there are also many people who hold the opposite view, holding that "Wang Mang is a political opportunist who uses reformism and retroism as a cover to carry out his political speculation," and that "Wang Mang's so-called reforms are nothing more than "a series of so-called reforms that run counter to historical development, and this is a retro act that wants to pull history back."

Some people summarize their so-called reforms into four: first, they have nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood and have no practical significance; second, perverse and contrary to the laws of history; Third, it can't be done in practice, and it can't be done; Fourth, competing with the people for profit and taking the livelihood of the people. And based on this, it was determined that "Wang Mang was not a bold reformer at all, but a complete emperor fan,...... is a careerist who is a great achiever", "a shameful political character", "a typical hypocrite"

Before Wang Mang became emperor, he also wrote an article in imitation of "The Great Message", explaining that his throne was temporary, and he must return the throne to the Han family in the future. But this did not prevent him from the first year of December (January 15, 9 A.D.), forcing Wang Zhengjun to hand over the jade seal of the country, accept the son of the infant Zen to call the emperor, enter the Gaozu Temple to worship, the crown is the Son of Heaven, change the country name to "new". Wang Mang is the new ancestor, changed Chang'an to Chang'an, and the year is known as "the first year of the founding of the country".

There is also Sima Zhao in history, and everyone knows his ambition to usurp the government, that is, people often say, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, but he still wants to cover it up.

Yuan Shikai's pretentious and pretentious posture of pushing Dai Shu back is comparable to Wang Mang and Sima Zhao in history. Of course, he did this for another purpose, that is, to try to wash away his shameless acts of betraying the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
