Gong Ren said: "I really don't know, anyway, my little life is in the palm of your hand, if you want to kill or cut, it's all up to Lord Yuan?" ”

"I really don't know?" Yuan Shikai said viciously again.

"I really don't know."

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Since my brother really doesn't know, then I have no choice." ”

Gong Ren thought to himself, I really don't know, what can you do to me, it's a big deal to die, if I really know and give it away, my little life should really end.

Gong Ren returned to Tan Mansion, the time was not early, Tan Sitong was already a little impatient to wait, and asked: "Brother Gong Ren, why did you go for so long, I don't know what happened to Yuan Shikai's promise to borrow troops?" ”

Gong Ren said: "This Yuan Shikai is indeed a traitor, and he has already guessed that our plan is our plan." It seems that there is no hope for the matter of borrowing troops, the matter is urgent, and we should make a good retreat as soon as possible. ”`

Tan Sitong nodded and said, "Brother Gongren is right, you can't just think about the good in everything, but also think about the bad." ”

Gong Ren said: "The top priority is to secretly monitor Yuan Shikai, monitor his every move, and prevent him from having any conspiracy." ”

Tan Sitong nodded and hurriedly went down to arrange.

On the same day, Yuan Shikai went to Tianjin and told Rong Lu the news that the important soldiers of the Restoration sent troops to besiege the Summer Palace and kill Cixi. What Yuan Shikai means, first, to show favor to Rong Lu and show closeness; the second is to observe Rong Lu's attitude and see how he deals with this matter; The third is that I am your person, the child cried and hugged his mother, whether you are the imperial party or the queen party, this is also called urine bubbles in the Yellow River - follow the flow. This Rong Lu is overjoyed when he hears it, eats the king's Lu, and shares his worries for the king, isn't this just a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions and gain favor! I was mentioned by Cixi, is it Cixi's henchman, the ghost knows, I am loyal to you, you can watch it! If you expect the imperial party to show talents, how can they achieve any big things? When they collapsed, they made me. Rong Lu immediately ran to the Summer Palace and told the Empress Dowager Cixi about it.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was shocked when she heard the news, and in the early morning of the same night (September 21, 1898), the Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly rushed back to the Forbidden City from the Summer Palace, went straight to the Guangxu Emperor's bedroom, reprimanded Guangxu, and then imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, and then issued an edict to "discipline the government" again.

There was a tense atmosphere in Tan's house.

Gong Ren and Liang Qichao both gathered around Tan Sitong to discuss countermeasures. Gong Ren said to Tan Sitong: "The matter is urgent, my people haven't come yet, so I have to ask Brother Tan's people to find a way to sneak into Yingtai to rescue Guangxu, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they can only be used as a dead horse doctor." ”

Liang Qichao said: "Do you think Yingtai is so easy to enter, it is a small island, surrounded by water, Cixi imprisoned Guangxu there, presumably she has made the most elaborate plans." ”

Before the countermeasures could be discussed, Xizuo reported again: "Cixi has ordered a search of Kang Youwei's residence to arrest Mr. Kang. ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard the news, and Gong Ren said: "There are eggs under the nest, the next one is Brother Liang, and the next one is Brother Tan, I hope you will prepare as soon as possible." ”

Tan Sitong said to Liang Qichao: "Try to enter the Japanese Embassy, meet Mr. Ito, and ask him to send a telegram to the Shanghai consul to rescue Mr. Kang." ”

Liang Qichao asked: "What about you?" ”

Tan Sitong said: "I used to want to save the emperor, but I couldn't save it, and now I want to save Mr. Kang, but I can't save it." I have nothing to do but wait for my death! Nevertheless, the world knows that it must not be done, and I will not shed blood, and whoever sheds blood will not go to hell, but who will go to hell. If there is no one who leaves, there is no way to seek the future, and if there is no sacrifice, there is no way to repay the wise monarch. Now Mr. Kang's life and death cannot be predicted, Cheng Yingjiu, Yuezhao Xixiang, me and you act as them respectively. ”

Gong Ren said: "Although I said that, but stay in Qingshan, I am not afraid of running out of firewood, and I have to count on you for the cause of changing the law in the future!" I think you better hide, you can only wait for death here. ”

Tan Sitong said: "I have made up my mind, Brother Gongren, don't persuade me anymore!" ”

Gongren knew that Tan Sitong was no longer good at persuading, so he had to say to Liang Qichao: "Brother Liang is better to leave early, there is always a danger of being raided here." ”

Liang Qichao hugged Tan Sitong and said, "Brother, I'll go first." Tan Sitong said to Liang Qichao: "You take my book and poetry manuscript away!" It's also a souvenir. ”

When Liang Qichao left, he took some of Tan Sitong's books and poems, and he went to the Beijing Embassy in Japan to take refuge for a while.

Tan Sitong sent away some unwanted people to avoid being affected.

That night, Wang Dayan led 20 carefully selected triad members to the Tan Mansion, and the Tan Mansion was already dark and sparsely populated.

After Gong Ren introduced these 20 people to Tan Sitong, Tan Sitong was very moved when he heard it, and said: "At this time, the husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came, but you brought 20 brothers to save me. I thank you—" He bowed deeply to Gong Ren and all the members of the Triad.

Gong Ren hurriedly stopped him and said: "Don't say kind words, if you save the emperor, your strength is a little thin, but if you want to protect you, you still have the ability." While the Qing army has not yet come to raid the house, I think, you should follow us and leave quickly! ”

Tan Sitong sighed and said: "Countries have not succeeded in changing the law without bloodshed, and now China has not heard of anyone who shed blood and sacrificed their lives because of the change of law, which is the reason why the country is not rich and strong." If there is bloodshed and sacrifice, please start with me, Tan Sitong, brother, don't persuade me anymore. Please also withdraw from Tan Mansion as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. ”

The 20 people of Gongren and Wang Dayan had no choice but to withdraw from the Tan Mansion and live in a small hotel nearby, observing the movements of the Tan Mansion.

After another two days, the Qing army suddenly surrounded Tan's mansion and arrested Tan Sitong, along with Yang Shenxiu, Lin Xu, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Kang Guangren, Xu Zhijing, Zhang Yinhuan and others. In prison, Tan Sitong was calm and calm, and inscribed a poem on the wall: "Look at the door and stop thinking about Zhang Jian, and endure death and wait for Du Gen." I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. ”

On September 28, 1898, at the entrance of the vegetable market outside Xuanwumen in Beijing, the wind and rain were like obscurity, and the murderous atmosphere was gloomy, and hundreds of officers and soldiers escorted Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, and Kang Guangren to Caishikou for execution. Tan Sitong was impassioned, his expression did not change in the slightest, and he shouted: "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't return to the sky." Die a well-deserved death, quickly, quickly! ”

Thousands of people in the capital are empty, and the onlookers are unable to get through. But what many ordinary people carry in their arms is steamed buns that are to be dipped in blood. During the execution, the onlookers pointed at the six gentlemen and shouted: "Rebels, thieves, scholars, and fanatics, cut off their tongues!" If you don't read the books of the sages well, you will run out and cause trouble! Some of the people who watched the excitement couldn't wait, and shouted: "Kill quickly, kill quickly, don't grind!" Many onlookers threw them with cabbage sticks.

was so angry that Wang Dayan was going up to beat those ignorant people. Gong Ren sighed and said: "This is the common people of China, who is Tan Sitong for, isn't it for China's reform movement and to build a rich and powerful country!" Isn't it just to make the Chinese people prosperous, but the people don't buy it. This is the heart slave, if the mind is not emancipated, then the body slave will be carried for a lifetime. ”

After the failure of the Wuxu Reform, all new policy measures were abolished, with the exception of the Beijing Normal University Hall (now Peking University), which opened in July. From June 11 to September 21, the 103-day reform of the law came to an end.

At this time, Kang Youwei took refuge in Hong Kong under the protection of British warships, and Liang Qichao and Wang Zhao hid in the Japanese legation and did not dare to come out.

After Sun Wen heard the news from Gongren in Yokohama, he was very anxious, so he asked his Japanese friends Miyazaki Inzo and Hirayama Zhou to go to the rescue as soon as possible. Miyazaki Yin hid in Hong Kong and protected Kang Youwei to Japan. Pingshan Zhou went to the Beijing Legation, asked Liang Qichao and Wang Zhao to put on Japanese clothes, dressed as Japanese, fled to Tianjin in the dark night, and then took a ship to Japan.

Sun Wen also asked Japanese friends to arrange accommodation for Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, and Sun Wen found a way to solve the expenses.

Gongren arranged for Wang Dayan and them to return to their hometown, continue to develop their strength, and returned to Sun Wen in Yokohama to report on the situation of the Wuxu Reform.

Sun Wen sighed and said: "The failure of the Wuxu Reform is first of all that the contrast between the old and new forces is obviously not conducive to the reformers, and the fundamental purpose of the reform is to replace the current autocratic political system and self-sufficient natural economic system with Western political, economic, social, cultural, and educational systems. Let's just say that the abolition of the imperial examination system in education has abolished the way for so many people to be promoted to official positions and make a fortune, can those literati be willing? Can you not object?

Then it violated the core interests of some people in Cixi, if you think about it, Cixi feels that she is going to take away her rights, can she not fight desperately against the Restoration. This also shows that the reformers were in a hurry, and they wanted to carry out the great project of reforming the system with more than 100 holy decrees, and forced Cixi to the opposite front.

Then there is no army, no guns, nothing can be talked about, it is impossible to expect the Qing Dynasty to automatically relinquish its power, it is impossible to count on an armed uprising, to count on the army to destroy it, and only by defeating them can they automatically hand over power......"

Sun Wen's words, Gong Ren silently thought in his heart, pondered, and repeatedly compared with Yuan Shikai's words, one is a great politician, a revolutionary who advocates the violent overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Shikai is a shameless soldier who sees the wind and rudder, and a conspirator who is good at playing with power.

Sun Wen also said: "Although the goals of the royalists and the revolutionaries are not the same, but the royalists were hunted down and killed by the Qing government, and the revolutionary party was also a fugitive from the Qing government. ”

Chen Shaobai expressed his support for these opinions: "At this time, we need to pull the royalist faction, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao are in Yokohama, if our two factions unite, the revolution will be a great success!" ”

Gong Ren also supported: "We have dealt with the reformers, and we are also acquaintances with each other, so he should know what he knows about us." Besides, if it weren't for Mr. Sun, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao wouldn't know where to take refuge now? ”

Sun Wen nodded, so he asked Miyazaki Yinzang to convey the meaning of the union to Kang Youwei, who knew that Miyazaki Yinzang came back and said that Kang Youwei actually claimed that he had the edict of Emperor Guangxu, and it was inconvenient to interact with the revolutionary party.

Chen Shaobai complained about this and said to Sun Wen: "Being so stubborn is really reactionary. We shouldn't have saved them in the first place, told them to let the Qing army pounce, kill them one by one, and let people see the fate of the royalists. Sun Wen patiently persuaded him: "Now is the great time for unity, we take the common ground while reserving small differences, and when the two factions unite, the revolutionary force will be stronger." ”

Sun Wen asked Miyazaki Yinzang again for help, and asked Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao to meet. The two of them couldn't refute face anymore, so they had to agree verbally, but when it was time to meet, Kang Youwei didn't come, but just let Liang Qichao meet. At this time, Chen Shaobai was even more annoyed, knowing that Kang Youwei had no sincerity in uniting, he said to Liang Qichao: "We have repeatedly and repeatedly made concessions and forbearances, but Mr. Kang is so unreasonable. You go back and tell him that if he is so rude again, don't blame us for being ruthless! ”

Sun Wen stopped Chen Shaobai and said to Liang Qichao: "We must meet him, you go back and tell Mr. Kang that if he is really not available, we will go to see him?" Chen Shaobai said angrily to Liang Qichao: "What is Kang Youwei, and we have to visit the thatched house to invite him." Tell him that he is not Zhuge Liang, we are doing this to save him, for his good? ”

Three days later, when it was raining lightly and the weather was cold, Sun Wen, Chen Shaobai, and Gong Ren went to visit Kang Youwei's residence. Gongren knocked on Kang Youwei's door, and after a while, Liang Qichao came to open the door, arched his hands politely and said, "Disrespectful!" Disrespectful! Sun Wen also arched his hands and said, "I'm really embarrassed that the humble people are coming to disturb again." Liang Qichao let the three of them into the house.

Gong Ren saw that on the tatami mat in the room sat a middle-aged man with a thin appearance and a withered face, who closed his eyes as if he was asleep, completely ignoring the visitation of the guests. Behind him stood a bodyguard of five big and three thick, glaring at him with great vigilance. There was also a person sitting next to him, looking at him frowning and looking frightened, as if he had something on his mind. Chen Shaobai saw that these three people were so lazy and rude, and he couldn't help but change color on his face.

The middle-aged man with a withered face opened his eyes slightly, and said to Sun Wen: "Because I have a dress and belt edict with me, I can't get up to greet Mr. Faux pas! Faux pas! Chen Shaobai snorted and said: "What kind of bullshit clothes and edicts, the emperor can't do it anymore, you still hold chicken feathers as arrows." It's really a pig's nose with an onion - pretending to be an elephant! ”

Liang Qichao introduced the three people with a smile on his face. Gong Ren knew that in addition to Kang Youwei and his bodyguards, the person with a panicked face was called Wang Zhao.

After Sun Wen and the three of them sat down, Chen Shaobai glared at Kang Youwei and said straight to the point: "The Manchu government is incorrigible, and Mr. is about to change his ways." In today's situation, non-revolution cannot save the country, and non-bloodshed cannot overthrow the Manchu Qing. What's more, Mr. couldn't be regarded as a bad effort for the Qing government before, but they want to kill you, so why should you help them? Sun Wen also said: "Brother Shaobai is right! As long as Mr. is willing to revolution, everything else is easy to say. If we join forces, the country will be saved, and the people will be saved. ”

Kang Youwei closed his eyes, opened them again, and said indifferently: "As a citizen of the Qing Dynasty and an important minister of the imperial court, I can't forget Jinshang no matter what." How can I live up to his trust in me! ”

Chen Shaobai said again: "If Mr. is a person who has no interest, I don't want to talk a lot of nonsense with Mr. But if the gentleman is a self-proclaimed person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world today, then I will have to persuade him well. You can't stop China because you are good to you today, so please ask Mr. to come out, that is, don't forget your public with your selfishness, and don't forget your country with people......"

Kang Youwei snorted and said: "I will accumulate strength, lie down and taste the courage, once the time is ripe, I will Xingqin Wang's soldiers, kill to the capital, and rescue the Holy Lord in the danger of Yingtai." ”

Gong Ren interjected and said: "Guangxu Zaiyan, a cowardly and incompetent person, is now a loner. The Empress Dowager Cixi of the West is vicious and insidious, with henchmen all over the place, and she has long held the power in her hands. Do you believe that Guangxu will make a comeback one day? It's a pipe dream. ”

Kang Youwei closed his eyes again and said: "Today's Shengming is several times better than Yaoshun Tang Wu, and I firmly believe that sooner or later the emperor will take power." Now I have an edict with me, and I can gather people with lofty ideals in the world and meet the righteous teachers in the world, but the revolution is not right, and it is not good, and it is spurned by the people of the world. I advise you to change your ways, and join us in helping the Holy to ascend to the throne again. At that time, I can protect you and become important ministers by the emperor's side. ”

Chen Shaobai snorted and scolded: "It's really easy to change, and your nature is difficult to change, I think you are really a granite head." ”

When the two sides were insisting on each other, not giving in to each other, and the more the debate became more and more intense, Wang Zhao, who was sitting next to Kang Youwei, suddenly said to Sun Wen: "Since I came here, all actions are not free, my speech is monitored, and the letters are also opened and checked. Please judge, what kind of life have I been living in? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted differently. Hearing these words, some of the second monks couldn't figure it out. Chen Shaobai listened to these words and suspected that Wang Zhao seemed to have some grievances. Kang Youwei was furious, raised his hand and slapped Wang Zhao, and scolded: "You madman, you are talking nonsense here again!" A look was handed to the bodyguard. The bodyguard immediately grabbed Wang Zhao by the neck and forcibly escorted him to another room, causing Wang Zhao to shout in the room.

Kang Youwei seemed to apologize a little, and said to everyone: "This Wang Zhao is frightened, and his spirit does not seem to be very good, so don't be like him." Sun Wen smiled and said, "That's your business, and it's inconvenient for us to interfere." ”

Wang Zhao was torturing in the next room, and Wang Zhao was yelling in the house. The debate continued in this room, and finally broke up unhappily because the revolution and the royalist were in the same boat.

Sun Wen and the others walked out of Kang Youwei's house, and heard Wang Zhao being beaten and screaming in the house. An intermittent voice came from the room, "Mr. Sun, help, help!" Immediately, no more sound could be heard, as if his mouth had been covered.
