Kang Youwei was 68 years old at this time, full of silver hair, and his health was quite healthy, so I really couldn't tell that he would die next year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to the mainstream version, Kang Youwei drank a cup of lemon black tea at a friend's house and then died of food poisoning, but his daughter Kang Tongbi believes that the Kuomintang poisoned him.

The outside world has different opinions on this, some say that the Japanese poisoned, some say that the remnants of Cixi assassinated, and some say that the food in the restaurant has deteriorated.

As for the most outrageous and widely spread, it is none other than the "theory of death by transplantation": Kang Youwei's ability to paddle is not good, so he found a German doctor to operate on the ** of a male ape and transplanted it to himself, and died not long after.

This is obviously a rumor, but it is not entirely groundless. Kang Youwei was 62 years old and still married a 19-year-old concubine, and he did ask a German doctor to give him an injection - at that time, a kind of rejuvenation was popular in Europe, that is, injecting people with animal extracts, so as to achieve the effect of maintaining youth.

These days, even Western medicine is not reliable!

Well, no matter how Kang Youwei died, he will only live for a year at most anyway.

Duan Hongye originally wanted to play polo, but Kang Youwei was old after all, and everyone could only go to the club next door to the racecourse to play billiards. As for the money used for eating, drinking, and having fun, Pu Yi naturally pays for it. Although the emperor was embarrassed when he was kicked out of the palace, he also brought out a lot of excellent antiques, and it was enough to sell one or two pieces casually.

Today is not the weekend, and there are not many guests in the club, but there are still a few foreign devils, and they see Zhou Hexuan greeting one after another:

"Hey, Charles, playing again?"

"Charles, I read your article on studying Britain, and it's really well written!"

"Charles, I'm going to have a birthday ball next week, so come and join us."

“……”

Kang Youwei was surprised to find that Zhou Hexuan was actually more popular with foreigners than Pu Yi and had become a big celebrity in the club.

In fact, this is very understandable, after all, Pu Yi has lived in Tianjin for more than a year. At the beginning, everyone still looked at him differently because of the identity of the abolished emperor, but when this freshness passed, and Pu Yi was mediocre again, foreigners naturally lacked interest.

On the contrary, Zhou Hexuan has recently become a frequent visitor to the British and French consul generals' homes, he has rich knowledge and knowledge, and he always has amazing words, and he is in the limelight in the foreign circle.

When he came to the billiard room, Duan Hongye immediately pulled Pu Yi and said, "Let's play a few games of snooker, add some color heads, and win 10 yuan for one point." ”

Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but snicker when he heard this, this Duan Gongzi is really a second person. Knowing that Pu Yi has no sports cells, he still wants to pull others to gamble, obviously just to win money.

Pu Yi glanced at Kang Youwei, who nodded without a trace, and he immediately smiled: "Okay, just play a few games today, I will definitely win you." ”

One wanted to win Kaizi's money, and the other wanted to deliberately make friends, just as Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, and the two soon fought around the table.

Kang Youwei also set a table with Zhou Hexuan, this old man seemed to be good at this, and directly drove the white ball into the pile, making it really difficult for Zhou Hexuan to start.

"Bang!"

Zhou Hexuan took out a shot to break the ball away slightly, and the white ball was hidden behind the black ball.

Kang Youwei repeatedly observed the ball path, walked back and forth and said, "Does He Xuan have any words?" ”

"Not yet, I grew up in Nanyang and don't care about that." Zhou Hexuan said.

Kang Youwei said: "If you don't think I'm relying on the old and selling the old, I'll give you a word." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Please speak." ”

"If you are foolish." Kang Youwei hit the ball violently, but unfortunately it didn't score.

Zhou Hexuan pondered for a moment and said: "Zhou Ruoyu, hehe, good words, thank you Mr. Nanhai, the younger generation will follow the teachings." ”

"The children can be taught." Kang Youwei nodded and smiled.

Zhou Hexuan's name has the flavor of "Xuan He for a while", which is not a good word. Kang Youwei used "great wisdom and foolishness" to give Zhou Hexuan the word, naturally hoping that he would keep his light and be obscure, and not invite disasters because he was too showy.

Dealing with an old guy like Kang Youwei is not happy, not only is his thinking, words and deeds old-fashioned, but also full of twists and turns, and he is unwilling to make his words clear at once. Zhou Hexuan prefers Chu Dashuai, although it is simple and rude, everything is directly put on the table.

"Bang!"

Zhou Hexuan scored the first goal and set the goal on the pink ball.

Kang Youwei stood next to him with a pole and said, "Your articles are very exciting, especially the ones on Britain. ”

"It's just a place to play, and it's a big laugh." Zhou Hexuan scored a pink ball and continued to score.

Kang Youwei ignored Zhou Hexuan's modesty and asked, "What do you think of the situation in China?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "It's a mess, just wait for a pair of skillful hands to sort it out." ”

Kang Youwei asked again: "I see that you praise Britain a lot in the article, do you agree with a constitutional monarchy?" ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't answer positively, but turned his head to look at Pu Yi and Duan Hongye next to him, and said with a smile: "You guys befriended Duan Gongzi like this, don't you want to win over Duan Qirui?" ”

Kang Youwei raised his eyebrows, stared at Zhou Hexuan and said, "You are really thoughtful, and you are a delicate and clear offspring." ”

Zhou Hexuan hit a crooked ball, he stopped and picked up the club and said, "Let me guess." Now that Zhifeng is not in harmony, you pull Duan Qirui, won't you want to instigate Duan Qirui to play the striker, you will pick up the cheap behind your back, and then join forces to restore the constitutional monarchy, right? ”

"Oh," Kang Youwei was a little shocked, because his thoughts were completely seen through, and immediately asked, "How much hope do you think there is?" ”

"Half a CD no." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Kang Youwei was not angry, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhou Hexuan now reads the newspaper every day, and he analyzes the situation and says: "The current situation in the capital is a struggle between Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu, whether it is the prime minister, the president, or the restoration of the emperor, they are all the products of their compromise. You're right? ”

"Yes." Kang Youwei nodded.

"The contradiction between them made you and Pu Yi see the possibility of restoration. Because Wu Peifu's strength is weaker, you want to unite with Wu Peifu and pull another Duan Qirui to maintain balance with Zhang Zuolin, and finally take advantage of it, right? Zhou Hexuan asked again.

"Yes." Kang Youwei continued to nod.

"Don't keep your eyes on the one-third of an acre of land in the north! It depends on the general trend of the world. Zhou Hexuan said with a little disdain.

Kang Youwei suddenly woke up and asked, "You mean the revolutionary army in the south?" ”

Zhou Hexuan analyzed: "Now that Wu Peifu and the revolutionary army are fighting a bad battle in Hunan, the situation is precarious, and at this time he must stabilize the rear and choose to compromise with Zhang Zuolin on the issue of the president and the cabinet." ”

"Do you think the Southern government will win?" Kang Youwei is obviously more optimistic about the Beiyang forces, and said with a smile, "They can't beat Wu Peifu, at most it is a stalemate between the north and the south." At that time, all parties are afraid of each other, Beiyang is no longer a monopoly, and it is a good time for the emperor to restore and realize the constitutional monarchy. ”

Zhou Hexuan asserted: "On the surface, Wu Peifu's military strength is stronger, but he will definitely lose. ”

"You, you're still too young," Kang Youwei said with a smile, "The Beiyang warlords were all killed by a sea of corpses and blood, Wu Peifu sits on several provinces, and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and the southern government also wants to defeat him?" ”

Kang Youwei's words represent the views of the vast majority of Chinese at this time.

Just two years ago, Wu Peifu also appeared in the American "Time" magazine, and was called "the person most likely to unify China", but he drove Zhang Zuolin back to his hometown in Northeast China. Although Wu Peifu is not so strong now, his strength is also one of the best, and on the surface, the southern government really has no hope of winning.

Zhou Hexuan analyzed: "Jin Yunhe is the number one general under Wu Peifu, and he once advocated joining Feng to fight for Feng and join Lu to attack Zhang Zongchang. Wu Peifu in turn joined forces with Zhang Zuolin, causing Jin Yunhe to give up his territory in Shandong, and thus he was already at odds with Shuai. The territory of Henan was also beaten down by Jin Yunju, Wu Peifu was afraid that his subordinates would become bigger, so he handed over Henan to Kou Yingjie, who had no military achievements, and Jin Yunju must be resentful in his heart. Recently, Feng Yuxiang stormed Datong, and Jin Yunhe actually stood still in Baoding and did not go to Shanxi, indicating that the generals were about to tear their faces. With such internal instability and Feng Yuxiang's stabbing knife in the back, how do you think Wu Peifu should deal with the revolutionary army in the south? He can only compromise with Zhang Zuolin, and will not support your restoration proposal at all. Because once Wu Peifu turns his face with Zhang Zuolin, it will be the end of being besieged from all sides! ”

"This ......" Kang Youwei was dumbfounded when he heard it, because he had never considered what Zhou Hexuan said, and it seemed to make sense.

Zhou Hexuan sighed: "Playing politics is a small way after all, and the general trend of the world is fundamental." ”

The more Kang Youwei thought about it, the more wrong he became, all his plans were completely denied by Zhou Hexuan in a few words, and he was so anxious that his forehead began to sweat. He no longer put the scores of his predecessors and celebrities, and said: "He Xuan is a great talent, I don't know how we should break the game?" ”

"Huh." Zhou Hexuan smiled but did not speak.

Kang Youwei was in a state of confusion, only to feel that his chest was extremely tight, and he wiped his sweat and said, "I'm a little unwell, go inside and rest for a while." ”

"Feel free." Zhou Hexuan said.

Pu Yi saw Kang Youwei walking towards the lounge, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Master Kang?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "He said he was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while." ”

Pu Yi was being pestered by Duan Gongzi to play ball, and when he saw that Zhou Hexuan's side was empty, he said to the queen who was watching the game: "Wanrong, you go and play two games with Mr. Zhou." ”
