Liang Qichao used a magnifying glass to observe the wrench for a long time, and then raised his head and said: "This is mutton fat jade, and there is a Qianlong imperial pen engraved on it, which is undoubtedly genuine." It's a pity that the burial time is too short, and the jade flower (a kind of Qin color) will not be born, and the appearance is a little ugly. If Ming Cheng likes it, he should be able to become a high-quality product if he puts this white jade finger on the finger plate for ten years. ”

"How can I have time to make jade," Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly, "Just donate it to the Palace Museum." ”

"It's a great move." Zhong Guanguan, who was sitting next to him, exclaimed.

Mr. Zhong has been living in Peking since he was dismissed as the acting president of Peking University. A few days ago, he received a letter of appointment from Zhejiang University, inviting him to be an associate professor in the College of Agriculture of Zhejiang University.

Zhong Guanguan really didn't want to teach, he traveled all over the famous rivers and mountains in the north, and just took this opportunity to go to Zhejiang to collect animal and plant specimens. Historically, Zhong Sightseeing traveled all over the mountains of Tiantai, Tianmu Mountain, Yandang Mountain and other mountains in Zhejiang, collected more than 700 animal and plant specimens, and established the herbarium of Zhejiang University Agricultural College.

Liang Qichao nodded and said, "If it is placed in the Forbidden City, it is still very safe." ”

Zhong Guanguan sighed: "The Palace Museum is the only virtuous government of the Beiyang government in terms of culture, and it is really unimaginable that the Nanjing National Government wants to abandon it. Fortunately, there are scholars and gentlemen who argue with reason, otherwise I don't know how many of those treasures in the palace will be lost overseas. ”

"This national government," Liang Qichao shook his head again and again, "I'm not optimistic." ”

The Palace Museum was founded in 1925, after Feng Yuxiang expelled Pu Yi from the palace, and it was open to all citizens - admission fees were required. On the first day of the opening of the Forbidden City, thousands of people in Beiping City were empty, vying to come to witness the true face of the Imperial Palace, and there was a strange scene of traffic jams.

That's right, it's the traffic jam, the big traffic jam of 1925.

If you want to get in, you have to wait in line for hours.

Later, every time the Beiyang government changed its director, it had to hit the Forbidden City with the idea. Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin both wanted to attack the treasures in the palace, but fortunately, thanks to the joint meeting of directors of the Palace Museum, countless national treasures were preserved.

In order to prevent the Forbidden City from being controlled by warlords, Mr. Zhuang Yunkuan even borrowed 30,000 yuan from the bank in his private name to support the daily maintenance expenses of the Forbidden City.

When the Northern Expedition was victorious, the scholars and gentlemen who protected the Forbidden City thought that the world would be peaceful in the future, and the Forbidden City would not suffer any more disasters.

Who knew that Jing Hengyi, a member of the State Council, proposed to abolish the Palace Museum and auction the buildings and national treasures inside in batches...... Isn't that?

When Zhou Hexuan proposed marriage in Jiujiang a while ago, more than 1,000 people in the northern cultural circles organized activities to protect the Forbidden City. Just half a month ago, Zhang Ji, a veteran of the Kuomintang Party, wrote a letter to the Central Political Conference, bitterly criticizing the proposal of Jing Hengyi to auction the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City was finally preserved, and the director of the Palace Museum at this time was Yi Peiji, the Minister of Agriculture and Mining, who helped Zhou Hexuan promote harvesters.

Liang Qichao and Zhong Guanguan are quite dissatisfied with the current national government, and the two old men complain in various ways. In particular, the education reform in the north was called "nonsense" by Liang Qichao, and Zhong Guanguan called it "a big joke".

Zhong Guanguan said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, I heard that you are supporting Peking University students to resume school?" ”

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "It's not a resumption of school, but a resumption of classes." The task of the students is to study, and it is not the way to be idle all day and do parades. I plan to pay some money privately to support teachers who are willing to attend classes and continue teaching activities at Peking University. ”

"I'm afraid you'll offend Li Shizeng by doing this." Zhong Guanguan said worriedly.

"Joke, he made the Pingjin Public Nine Schools collectively suspended, and I can't let the students resume classes yet?" Zhou Hexuan said disdainfully.

Liang Qichao shook his head helplessly: "The affairs of officialdom can be black and white." You are dedicated to the public, but others will think that you are singing the right game. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "I'm not an official, even if I tear my face with Li Shizeng, can he still arrest me?" ”

Zhong Guanguan stroked his beard and smiled: "That's the same." The so-called desirelessness is rigid, and there is nothing to be afraid of being upright. ”

Liang Qichao asked the servant to take a stack of tomes from the study, and said to Zhou Hexuan and Zhong Guanguan: "This is the "Ice Room Collection" I just published, and I would like to invite the two Yajian. ”

"Be sure to read it!" Bell Sightseeing Road.

Zhou Hexuan opened the catalog and flipped through it, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ren Gong, why didn't you choose that science fiction novel?" ”

"Novels?" Liang Qichao didn't react.

"The Future of New China." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Hahahaha," Liang Qichao laughed awkwardly and waved his hand, "It's a delusional work for a while, don't mention it, don't mention it!" ”

Liang Qichao wrote that original novel in his life, which was about the situation after the successful reform of the law in 1962. It opens with the coming of all nations, China holds a World Exposition in Nanjing, and the two protagonists argue about a constitutional monarchy and a democratic revolution.

This science fiction novel was conceived for five years, but it turned out to be a eunuch after only five chapters, which belongs to the black history of Liang Qichao when he was young.

Zhou Hexuan said: "I think it's very interesting, Mr. Ren Gong might as well try to revise and continue." ”

"I don't have the talent to write novels," Liang Qichao said with a wry smile, "That book was written when I was most frustrated and confused after the failure of the Restoration, which can be regarded as a kind of sustenance and self-paralysis." The Qing Dynasty is dead, what else is there to talk about? ”

Zhou Hexuan thought of the future Shanghai World Expo and said with emotion: "The real China may not be able to become one of the world's leading powers and hold a world exhibition as in Mr. Wang's novel." ”

Liang Qichao said disdainfully: "Just this national government? ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Maybe there is a more advanced party to overthrow its rule and lead China to prosperity and strength." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Qichao and Zhong Guanguan were surprised and changed color.

Liang Qichao asked in a low voice: "Mingcheng is a member of the Red Party?" ”

Zhou Hexuan hurriedly defended: "I didn't say it, I just sympathized with them." ”

Zhong Guanguan admonished: "Be honest and cautious, you must not say nonsense, Chang Kaishen is staring at it, and he will catch one by one." ”

"I know," Zhou Hexuan changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Ren Gong, I heard that Ling Gongzi has returned to China?" ”

"You said Sicheng," Liang Qichao said with a smile, "He took Huiyin to teach at Northeastern University." I originally wanted them to go to Tsinghua so that they could be closer to Tianjin. But a few days ago, the president and vice president of Tsinghua University had not yet taken office, and no one was in charge of this matter. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "Next time I have a fate, I must ask Ling Gongzi for advice in person." ”

"He doesn't know as much about architecture as you do." Liang Qichao said.

After chatting for a long time, Zhong Guanguan got up to say goodbye, and he still had to take a boat to Zhejiang University to take up his post.

When Zhou Hexuan returned home, before his butt was hot, the student representative of Peking University came to the door to ask for a meeting, saying that the resumption of classes was almost ready.
