Beijing's autumn often comes and goes silently, the most rapid, but a few layers of autumn rain can fall the prosperity of a tree, making people's hearts, empty, as if a little bit of anger, but also with this autumn. Fortunately, there are still autumn cicadas, where there are nothing to scream. Listening to the neighing of the cicadas, people's hearts slowly stabilized and had a trace of comfort.

In the house in the depths of the alley, a few old locust trees in the courtyard are now only stump branches withered, thorny or stretched, and knotted and bent.

Wang Shizhen, as usual, pushed the door into the courtyard, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he suddenly found that the man had already walked out of the house, and was standing under an old locust tree in the courtyard at the moment, looking up at the leisurely clouds and the boxy well in the sky.

Wang Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then quietly went in and slowly closed the door. Contrary to his usual style, you must know that when he entered the hospital in the past, he always deliberately made some noise, or heavy footsteps, or the creak of pushing the door. But at this moment, he took everything lightly, for fear of disturbing the man's autumn thoughts.

After closing the door, Wang Shizhen didn't dare to move, and only stood quietly by the door. Occasionally, a gust of west wind blows, rolling up a stream of fallen leaves, circling and flying; Or suddenly a flock of white doves flew in the sky, flying back freely, sending a light pigeon whistle.

"Hireqing, what happened to the DPRK, right? Why didn't you tell me? After another flock of white doves flew by, the man suddenly asked.

"It's not a big deal to go back to the master," Wang Shizhen replied respectfully, "There is some chaos in the south, or those revolutionary parties are making trouble, and it will not become a big climate." ”

The man sighed softly and didn't follow, "The new book of the Business Pavilion, is it still not out?" ”

"Back to the master's words, it's almost over, saying that the manuscript has arrived, and it is being typeset, and it is estimated that on the fifteenth day of this month, when the moon is full, the new book will come out."

When the man heard Wang Shizhen's words, he seemed to be quite happy, and his voice was a little relaxed, "Well, but there are still more than ten days, this ......"

In the middle of his words, the man suddenly saw a corner of the yard, and several begonias had trembled and slightly bloomed the big flowers, pink, white, brown and red, each different.

In her mind, she suddenly remembered a sentence from nine years ago:

"Ten years later, when the flowers bloom, the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, you and I will not see each other, and we will have a hundred years of enmity!"

In the blink of an eye, it's been ten years! This appointment is coming soon. It's just me, do you still have the mood to fight a war?

Wang Shizhen has been by that person's side for a long time, and when he saw this scene, he knew what happened. He thought about it and was about to tell Zhu Chongzhen about it, but he heard a commotion outside the door, followed by a eunuch shouting: "The regent has arrived~Prince Qing has arrived~"

Hearing the shouts outside, Wang Shizhen secretly screamed badly, and before he could react, the door of the courtyard had slammed open, and the regent Zaifeng entered angrily.

The person who had been standing with his back to the courtyard gate still had his back to him, and he didn't turn around, but just said lightly: "Why is the regent free today, and he came to my remote courtyard?" Aren't you afraid of bad luck? ”

"Afraid, why not afraid? It's just that your bad luck is too big, even if I don't come, I can't escape, I've already been covered with it! ”

"Oh? The regent has something to say, I don't know what exactly he is saying? I, a guilty person, haven't been out of this courtyard for several years, and what happened outside, the regent still has to explain it directly! ”

"Humph! You don't know, if you don't have your backing, how can these minions be so bold?! The more Zaifeng spoke, the more angry he became, and suddenly saw Wang Shizhen kneeling on the side, walked two steps over, raised his foot and kicked towards Wang Shizhen.

Who knew that as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt a numbness in his leg, and the raised foot fell back softly, as if he hadn't lifted it at all.

"In front of my eyes, no one dares to move the people in the door at will!" The man said lightly.

"Clear the door? Do you still have a clear door in your eyes? Do you still have our Qing dynasty in your eyes? Zaifeng's legs are numb and crispy, and he can't move, but the anger is even greater, "The country handed down by the ancestors is about to be destroyed by your doorman, and you still have the face to clear the door!" ”

Hearing Zaifeng's words, the man suddenly turned around, his eyes were clear, and he went straight through Zaifeng's heart. But the words were asked to Wang Shizhen, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Pingqing, you say, what did the regent say?" What have you done behind my back? ”

Wang Shizhen turned around, knelt down at the man, lowered his head and replied: "Master, the revolutionaries occupied Wuchang on August 19, and the Minister of War Yin Chang led the Fourth Town of Beiyang and the two mixed associations to quell the rebellion, and now they are still stationed in the Xinyang camp. ”

Wang Shizhen said it simply, but how smart that person was, he knew what it was when he heard it. "I see. Regent, I'm getting more and more confused, what does this kind of military affairs have to do with me, a sinner who is imprisoned in this small courtyard? Yin Chang's minions have not moved forward, and they have delayed the military plane, but they can't blame me. ”

Zaifeng saw that he was clean and shirked, and he was even more angry in his heart, but he was helpless. Yixuan on the side saw that the situation was not good, and quickly interjected and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you have something to say, say it slowly." They are all descendants of Aixin Jueluo, who can lose their conscience and lose their ancestors' country in their own hands. ”

These words seemed to be persuading Zaifeng, but in his bones, he stabbed straight at that person. Who would have thought that after Yixuan finished speaking, Zaifeng didn't speak, and the person looked up at the white clouds for thousands of years, and he didn't speak. actually put the Yiqiao aside.

It's a good job, after all, it's an old slippery head who has been mixed in the big sauce vat in Beijing for more than 70 years, and nothing else, a cheeky person who spits on his face, but he is very good at learning. I saw that he coughed dryly twice, and then said to the man, "I am your uncle after all, and I will advise you two words today." Now that the Qing Dynasty is in turmoil, it is not the time to be angry. Wang Shizhen didn't make it clear just now, so the uncle said a few more words. ”

Seeing that the man was still holding his head up, Na Yixuan coughed dryly twice, and then said: "Now it's not just Wuchang, Changsha and Xi'an are all occupied by the revolutionary party. Now that Hunan, Hubei and Shaanxi are all making a fuss about independence, Nasa Zhenbing doesn't know what to think, stop in Jiujiang City, and don't listen to your sixth brother, saying that you should be neutral in internal strife......"

"Really?" The man suddenly cut off Yixuan's words and said, "Prince Qing said that these national affairs are for me, a person who is imprisoned, and I don't know what to do?" ”

"King Qing, don't go around in circles with him anymore," Regent Zaifeng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it away, "Look for yourself!" ”

The paper was as light as a feather, sucking and floating in the void, reflecting the fallen leaves, but it was so weak.

As soon as the man stretched out his hand, he took the paper in his hand, and when he looked at it, there were few words:

"Er Qing Dynasty, the number of qi is exhausted! The imperial system must die, and the Republic of China should be established! ”

The inscription next to it reads, "The old people of Yuezhou, practice the ten-year covenant!" ”

"The old man of Yuezhou", the man suddenly smiled when he saw these four words. What is due is what is to come. He came at this time, and it was a good time to choose! The regent, the orphan and the widow, everything seems to be a copy of the old days.

It turned out that this person who was imprisoned was the Aixin Jueluo Zaihong who led people to break into the Fang Mansion in the past, destroyed the Fang family, failed to seize the Purple Emperor's blade, and was driven away by Zhu Qiu!

It is implied in the book that this Zaihong is actually a descendant of Dorgon, the prince of Rui. In order to seize the Purple Emperor Blade, Qingmen selected good materials among the relatives and nobles, and finally Zaihong stood out because of his superior qualifications and was designated as the young master of Qingmen. But according to the rules of the Qingmen, non-royal children are not allowed to take charge of the Qingmen. So, Prince Gong, who was ill at the time, took Zaihong under his knees so that Zaihong could be in charge of Qingmen. Yi's heirs are not prosperous, the only surviving second son Zaiying, and passed on to others, and he can have Zaihong by his side when he dies, and he is also very relieved, but it is a pity that Zaihong will not be able to inherit his throne.

After Zaihong returned from Nanyang, he inherited the business of Yi and sought wealth and self-improvement, but because he was born as a woman, he could not be an upright director. Finally, when Xuantong ascended the throne, Zaifeng used this as an excuse to be confined in this alley in the depths of the hundred flowers. And some of the cadres who were appointed by Zaihong back then were also found by Zaifeng with various excuses, suppressed and banished.

But this Zaifeng is just a straw bag after all. There was not even Cixi's means of controlling people, and within three years, the government and the opposition were separated, and the people's resentment was boiling. Finally, in May of this year, the two stupid tricks of the imperial cabinet and the railway state-owned were seized by the revolutionaries.

But at this time, the newly built Beiyang Army could not move at all. Not only was the order delayed for a long time, but the departure of the Beiyang Army was surprisingly slow. Even if he re-uses Yuan Shikai, it still doesn't work. Seeing that Xi'an and Changsha also rebelled, the whole country was in some turmoil, although the Beiyang Army finally went south under its own repeated urging. But this Beiyang, where is there the meaning of going south to fight, leisurely and leisurely is like going out for sightseeing, and slowly marching towards the Xinyang camp.

Zaifeng is a complete straw bag, and he will only be in a hurry there, but he didn't think of the catty in it. Still on the side, Yixuan couldn't look at it, and quietly pointed at him, Zaifeng realized that he, the regent, was not as good as a person who was imprisoned!

On the way here, Prince Qing Yixuan kept persuading Zaifeng not to be angry and to speak well, after all, now, there is a request for others. But how can this Zaifeng pull down his face? However, three years ago, he was still standing on the high platform, watching how this Qing Men master of Zhong Lingyu was confined to this small mansion under his own gentle words, and lived in a miserable and panicked life. But now, I actually want to beg her myself!

Zaifeng is Zaifeng after all, even if he asks for someone, he will have his own way of seeking.

"I heard that the owner has always liked the books of the business hall, and it happened that a few days ago, a new set of the business hall came out, so I asked people to pick it up. The owner of the door knows that I have never liked to read any books, so I can borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and talk about my apologies to the door owner! ”

After speaking, Zaifeng clapped his hands and shouted outside, "Bring the book in." ”

Hearing Zaifeng's shout, a eunuch outside ran in with a set of books in his hand.

When Wang Shizhen heard Zaifeng's words, his face was a little ugly, and at this moment, when he saw the bookbox held by the eunuch, it was clearly written "Compilation of the Minutes of the Federal Constituent Assembly in 1787", and his face suddenly turned like ashes, his eyes were closed, and his heart was really painful!
