It was already evening when he returned home after a banquet in Zhang Xun's mansion, the moon was hanging high in the sky, Wang Yongan was in a very good mood, and after returning to the Jingshi Hotel, he learned that someone was secretly visiting, and the person who came was very mysterious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wang Yongan asked Liu Tong who this person was, and Liu Tong said in a low voice: "It's someone from the palace." ”

"From the palace?"

"Yes, a eunuch."

Wang Yongan was very curious, so he asked people to bring the people in the palace, the person with a sallow face and pointed face looked less than one meter six meters tall, leaning forward, with a smiling expression on his face: "Our eunuch Liu Xingqiao has seen General Zhiyong Baturu Wang. "The court is divided into twelve eunuchs, namely the celebrant eunuch, the internal official supervisor, the secretary of the prison, the imperial horse supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, the royal eunuch, the direct palace supervisor, the seal silk supervisor, the Shangyi supervisor, the capital knowledge supervisor, the shrine supervisor, the Shangbao eunuch, the twelve eunuchs are all managed by eunuchs, and the management of the twelve eunuchs is called the eunuch, and the head of the twelve eunuchs is the celebrant eunuch. When many people look at history, they think that they can call eunuchs eunuchs casually, but in fact, they exalt many people. Of course, this has a lot to do with the nonsense of later TV dramas, especially the court children's dramas, and the culprit is Qiong Yao's certain Gege, thinking that eunuchs can be called casually.

Higher than the eunuch, is the chief eunuch, also known as the chief eunuch, for example, Li Lianying is the chief eunuch, generally speaking, the chief of the inner part of the eunuch, it can be seen that this Liu Xingqiao has an extraordinary status in the palace. In view of the national turmoil caused by eunuch interference, the Qing Dynasty stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to leave the Forbidden City, and even if the emperor issued a decree, it needed to be announced by the Hanlin Yuan on behalf of the emperor. However, in the Kangxi period, Wu Sangui rebelled, Kangxi recruited all the banner people over the age of 14 in Beijing as soldiers to recruit Wu Sangui, and then rebelled by the White Lotus Sect, Kangxi organized the eunuch palace maid Eight years old and over the flag man to hold a weapon and the White Lotus Sect to fight a decisive battle, so that the eunuch could be considered to be able to go out of the palace. And when Cixi was in power, in order to overthrow Emperor Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi sent eunuchs to announce the decree everywhere, and the big eunuchs were free to leave the palace. It was also at the beginning of Cixi's rise to power that the eunuchs dared to buy houses outside the city and settle down.

Wang Yongan couldn't help but smile and said: "You old man, get up, this Zhiyong Baturu identity, I dare not be ashamed." What are you looking for me today? ”

Liu Xingqiao said: "The general doesn't have to be modest, fight foreigners wisely, and fight bravely, if it weren't for the misunderstanding between the king and His Majesty, with the talent of the general, he can be the general of the town." ”

Wang Yongan was slapped by a eunuch, and he always felt a little weird, especially after listening to Liu Xingqiao's ladyboy-like voice, he felt that his balls were cold......

Liu Xingqiao continued: "So the Queen Mother, her old man, wants to invite you into the palace to talk about it, and there are very important matters to discuss. ”

Wang Yongan smiled and said, "Come, let's sit and talk, I just drank wine today, and my head is still a little dizzy, it's not suitable to talk about any big things, let's talk about small things." ”

Liu Xingqiao was very embarrassed and said, "General...... This...... This...... It's not appropriate. ”

Wang Yongan said: "There is nothing inappropriate, sit down, sit down." Liu Xingqiao had no choice but to sit down, uneasy on the side, not knowing what tricks this master was going to do. Yuxiu sent a cup of sobering tea, Wang Yongan drank it all, and said to her with a smile You have worked hard, rest well, you are going to Xiongxian County tomorrow, you can prepare, Yuxiu hurriedly said that she was ready.

After Yuxiu went down, Liu Xingqiao still didn't know what to say, so Wang Yongan asked: "Is it still quiet in the Forbidden City now?" ”

"What are you...... What do you mean? ”

Wang Yongan smiled and said: "You know what I mean, the outside says that it is Yuan Shikai's army protection, but in fact, the Forbidden City is monitored and controlled, can you know?" ”

Liu Xingqiao smiled bitterly: "We don't go out of the palace a few times in our lives, what is the difference between surveillance and non-surveillance?" ”

Wang Yongan sighed, nodded and said, "That's right, it's rare for you to come out of the Forbidden City once in your life - but with such strict surveillance, your old man has come out." ”

"Dragons walk through clouds, fish walk through water, tigers walk through forests, and rats walk through holes." Liu Xingqiao smiled and said, "Is the general afraid of Premier Yuan, worried that he has too many eyes and ears and will know what the general has done?" ”

To tell the truth, Wang Yongan did not believe that Yuan Shikai would not know about the actions of the Forbidden City, and secondly, he was not interested in the Manchu royal family's behavior of wooing him this time, and he guessed that the empress dowager in the Forbidden City was looking for him, just to keep the imperial family, at least to make China a constitutional monarchy in the future, and to preserve the dignity of the imperial family. However, Wang Yongan knew that the bottom line of the revolutionary government in the south was that China had to be a republic, even if it was a constitutional monarchy with no power and only symbolism, so he could not negotiate with the imperial family on this matter, and could not help them.

Therefore, Wang Yongan smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Liu, I have nothing to say to the Queen Mother, and if I rashly enter the Forbidden City, I am afraid that my subordinates will not agree, after all, my comfort is related to them." ”

Liu Xingqiao hurriedly said: "You can enter the Forbidden City with your subordinates, and no one will threaten the general." ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, sometimes I can't help myself, I am no longer my own Wang Yongan, I am still Wang Yongan of Jiangbei Group, you have to understand." So, send ......"

"Wait a minute, don't you want to know the promise that the Queen Mother made to you?" Liu Xingqiao hurriedly said.

Wang Yongan said: "Empty promises, will I be gullible?" ”

Liu Xingqiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you can help the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is willing to make you the king of Zhennan, hereditary replacement!" Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces will be your fiefdoms! ”

Wang Yongan laughed: "The Queen Mother is inevitably ugly when she eats." ”

"You ......"

Wang Yongan said: "The Qing Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty ten years ago, and the world is not the world at that time, I am your last straw, but you are not my life-saving straw." ”

Liu Xingqiao saw that the negotiation had ended, so he had to shake his head and sigh, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, you and I are just flags in the hands of Premier Yuan, the name of the Forbidden City, and your interests are nothing more than Premier Yuan's pockets." ”

Wang Yongan said: "You and I are different, what I do is in line with the trend of history, and the Queen Mother is against the trend of strength, and compared to the Empress Dowager Cixi, the current Empress Dowager ...... Haha, send-off. ”

After Liu Xingqiao left, Wang Yongan still couldn't help laughing, and said to Bai Dequan and Xu Yang: "Now that the dog in the Forbidden City is jumping off the wall in a hurry, he actually thought of contacting me, don't you hear that the wolf is lured into the room?" ”

Xu Yang said: "It's better to lure a wolf into the room than to be hanged, at least they still have a chance to compete with each other to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and now you have rejected them, and you have rejected their only hope of turning the tables." ”

"It is impossible to establish a constitutional monarchy, in a country dominated by Han people, how can the banner people be allowed to continue to be the emperor, why can't the Queen Mother understand this truth." Wang Yongan smiled.
