"Mr. Zaifeng, I only brought these people in today, and I asked Ms. Longyu and Puyi's children to live in your mansion temporarily in advance, just because I don't want to make everyone look bad. www.biquge.info Chen Wenqiang turned to Zaifeng, who was full of frustration and sadness, and said in a slow tone: "Please trust the government and cooperate with us well." ”

Zaifeng sighed, stretched out his hand to call the head of Prince Alcohol's Mansion, whispered a few words, and then raised his head.

Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly, and gestured with his eyes, Zhao Bingjun and several guards walked towards the inner courtyard of the deep palace with Zaifeng.

"The Forbidden City is so big, there must be thousands of hidden objects, and it may not be possible to complete the cleaning and identification in a short time." Cai Yuanpei, who has already returned to China and will serve as the Minister of Culture and Education, looked at the majestic palace and said with some concern.

"Gradually clean up, gradually open up." Chen Wenqiang said with a smile: "You can open a small antiquities exhibition center first, which will not only create public opinion but also accumulate experience for the establishment of a large national museum in the future." Anyway, it's your business from now on, and I'm only responsible for clearing people out and not letting the national treasure go away. In fact, I am most concerned about how much gold and silver treasure can be scraped out of here for nation-building purposes. ”

"Speaking of money, the budget of our Ministry of Education will be made immediately, you have to be merciful!" Cai Yuanpei said with a smile.

"Well said, well said." Chen Wenqiang agreed, but his face became bitter, and he sighed and said: "It is really sad to pin the fate of the entire nation and the country on one person, one family and one surname. I have a headache when I think of the situation when everyone is chasing their butts and asking for debts. ”

"Yes!" Cai Yuanpei nodded in agreement, but said with a smile: "Who made you so good at making money, since you entered Beijing, you have already got tens of millions of taels, right?" The Bank of Communications has enough reserves and will reopen immediately. Replaced by someone else. I don't have as many ways as you do!

"But I've got a bad reputation too!" Chen Wenqiang shouted: "In fact, it is more appropriate for others to do this job, and it is not surprising that sticks, leather whips, and clamping sticks are beaten violently, and hundreds of millions of taels are taken out." Driving Longyu and Pu Yi out of the palace is also very criticized. ”

"That's not good, we advocate the rule of law, and such a big matter is detained. Wouldn't it smash its own signboard and provoke international criticism? Cai Yuanpei shook his head and said: "It's good now, the money is in hand, and all parties have taken care of it." Saying that you are mean is just some remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, why should you care. Kicking them out of the palace is also a decision of the government, so what does it have to do with you? ”

Chen Wenqiang raised his head slightly, and the yellow glazed tiles on the palace shone brilliantly in the sun. Only to drive away the emperor and queen mother in the palace. The opening of Miyagi will make the people fully aware of the arrival of a new era. It is a heavy blow to the feudal consciousness and to those who are left behind by the old and the young, and the existence of an independent feudal ****** must not be allowed in the land of the so-called republic. It's not a matter of meanness, lack of empathy, it's about the stability of the country, the mentality of the population. Moreover, these Manchu magnates who were powerful and powerful. Getting such a result is already quite good.

"What is it like under the eunuch?" Chen Wenqiang suddenly said to himself thoughtfully: "Take a look? Really curious? ”

Cai Yuanpei also thought that Chen Wenqiang was outside the gods. I was thinking about some national event, and when I suddenly heard this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes, turn my head, and pretend not to hear it.

In the distance, a group of eunuchs and palace maids came over with their belongings. The first is the chief eunuch of Prince Alcohol's Mansion.

When he came closer, the chief eunuch gave Chen Wenqiang a thousand punches, and said humbly: "Back to the commander-in-chief, these are the deacons who left the palace with the queen mother and the emperor, and the servants have already checked their belongings. What if—"

Chen Wenqiang waved his hand, this large group of black presses, it seems impossible to search and inspect them one by one, and forgive them for not being able to bring any important items, so it is better to leave some dignity for this last royal family.

"Did you bring the master who stayed in the palace?" Chen Wenqiang opened his mouth and said: "I said that I have something to confess. ”

The chief eunuch hurriedly beckoned to the team, and a fat eunuch walked out tremblingly, kneeling in front of Chen Wenqiang and the others, which made Chen Wenqiang stunned for a moment.

"Get up!" Chen Wenqiang said gently: "Don't be afraid. According to you, now that the dynasty has changed, there will be no indiscriminate killings. ”

"Yes, yes, republic, republic, slave knows." The fat eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and stammered.

"Yes, republic, free." Chen Wenqiang smiled and continued: "This Forbidden City belongs to the government, what about you, the government also has a resettlement method. If you want to go out, the government will pay you severance pay; If you have no relatives and no support, the government will also find a way out for you. Xiangshan knows, there is a Salesian home there, the government is rebuilding and expanding, you are old, you can go there to care for the elderly. As for the younger ones, if the Forbidden City is to be opened to the outside world, it also needs some cleaning personnel. As for the palace maids, who are old and have nowhere to go, they can also go to the Salesian; If you are young, you can go to a government training class and learn a skill to earn a living. Do you understand what I said? ”

"Understood, minion understood." The fat eunuch hurriedly replied.

"If you understand, go and gather the palace maids and eunuchs and tell them what the government means." Chen Wenqiang said: "Make a count of their names, ages and whereabouts, and I will arrange a helper for you, and within three days, I will get things done." ”

"Yes, yes, the minion must do it well." The fat eunuch nodded his head faster than he pounded garlic.

Chen Wenqiang beckoned two government workers, equipped them with two men, two women and four armed guards, and followed the fat eunuch away.

Chen Wenqiang squinted his eyes, turned his back to his hand, and looked at the vast Forbidden City with a smile.

As the sun sets, the Forbidden City becomes even more beautiful like a fairyland on earth.

…………..

The Forbidden City is still as tall as ever, but without the emperor, the representative of feudal royal power, its majestic image began to collapse in the hearts of the common people.

The streets of Beijing are becoming more and more new, the streets are cleaned and tidy, the drainage ditches are clean, and even a large number of public toilets have been built. Street signs began to appear at intersections, and animal-powered carts entering the city no longer dared to let the animals pee indiscriminately. There are more and more shops and houses hanging new national flags and lanterns, and there are even many princes and nobles in front of their mansions, as if they are not at ease.

The number of soldiers in the streets is decreasing, and police officers in all-black uniforms are keeping the law and order. The policemen also became more amiable, and no longer raised their eyebrows as they did during the Manchu Dynasty. Yelling five and drinking six. The smoke houses in the city were all closed overnight, so many people could be seen on the street yawning and tearing up.

……………

A noodle shop has opened its doors, and as usual, the sharing area in front of the door has been cleaned. A few cart pullers were wiping their noses and rubbing their eyes with their sleeves pulled.

A flock of sparrows flew to feed, and no one cared about them, and these sparrows, who were also very bold, jumped in front of a few children who were jumping rope, shaking their heads to watch the children jump rope. A few children danced and sang, "Republic, President; Democracy, freedom and equality. To fight for freedom, we must be equal, and the officials and the people should be equal. ”

None of the children seemed to hear the children's rhymes, and the children sang to the rhythm of the rope loops over and over again.

"I heard that we people will soon be able to visit the Forbidden City." Said a cart puller.

"Hehe, that's a royal place, I didn't expect us to be able to go in and have a look." The other laughed twice and wiped his nose.

"Look at your bury of the dead." Another coachman pouted. Laughed: "I heard that student read the charter, and you can't litter in it." Spitting, snotting. ”

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on one person, and a young girl in a military uniform hurriedly walked in front of the store. Beneath the boat-shaped military hat is short ear-length hair, and the belt shows off the slender waist even more.

There was surprise in the eyes of a group of people, and even more envy. Watch the female soldier disappear into the alley.

"It's the Wusu family, right? I didn't expect this banner family to have a soldier, and it eased up again. A cart puller grinned.

"Hehe, the flag man is full of talent, but he took advantage of it." Another said unwillingly: "At the beginning, I was almost sold into a kiln." ”

"Be quiet. I didn't see the military family sign on the door, and the eldest son of the Wusu family was arranged to enter the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, and even the police were polite when they entered the door. Someone reminded.

"When my second boy becomes a soldier, I can also be angry." Someone said in a loud voice: "That military uniform is called a beautiful and a spirit." My two boys are straight at a glance, and his body will definitely not be able to run away from recruiting troops today. ”

"Hey, look!" As someone reminded him, everyone's eyes immediately shifted.

To people's surprise, there was a man wearing an old official uniform with long braids in front of the store.

"Hey, the emperor is gone, why are these people angry again."

"What's the spirit, the Revolutionary Party has a trick to deal with them. I didn't see that Prince Su's mansion was surrounded like an iron bucket, and a few people were allowed to enter and exit, but now they don't even let flies. ”

"These people are busy with their work, even the Praetorian Guards obediently listen to the tune, where else can they go?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a blind job, as long as it's not messy, but don't mess up anymore!"

Everyone agreed with this sentence, so they all fell silent.

It's chaotic, it's chaotic, a few flies are buzzing, and they can't disturb the overall situation.

Cao Kun killed a group of officers and soldiers who mutinied and plundered, received a punishment that was not light or severe, and led an army of the Sixth Town to Zhangjiakou to garrison; The Praetorian Guards were dismissed, and the rest were mixed with the troops of the Yi Army and the revolutionary army Zhang Ji Village to form the First Division of the Hebei Garrison, stationed in Tongzhou; The rest of the Yi Army was merged into Xu Shaozhen's troops and organized into two divisions, both of which belonged to the Beijing Military Region, one in Langfang and the other in Tangshan. The horse teams in the Praetorian Guard and Yi Army were combined into a cavalry regiment and transferred to Baotou, Inner Mongolia.

The differentiation has succeeded, and it will take time to disintegrate. What is certain, however, is that the new government has removed the factors of instability for the time being, and the rest will depend on the power of political work.

In order to save money, Chen Wenqiang finally made Zhongnanhai the seat of the new government after seeking the advice of the provisional government, and Song Jiaoren made it clear that there should be no extravagance and waste, let alone a separate presidential palace in Beijing.

Time is very tight, and in a few days, the new government will move all of them to Beijing. Chen Wenqiang had no choice but to make it simple because of his ugliness, and the Regent's Palace, which was located in the northwest corner of Zhongnanhai and had not yet been fully completed, was designated as the office of the president, Fengze Garden was designated as the president's office resting place, Ziguang Pavilion was used as the place for state activities, Xihua Hall was used as the office of the ******, and the Qinzheng Hall was used as the office of the Senate...... In addition, garrison barracks and office staff dormitories were built in Zhongnanhai.

As a result of his positive performance, Yixuan's son Jae-jin was appointed deputy director of the ************, and Yixuan was also granted personal freedom.

With Yixuan taking the lead, other skeptical Manchu relatives and nobles submitted requests to the government one after another, and vowed to keep to themselves in the future and never be enemies of the new government. After writing a letter of guarantee, Chen Wenqiang finally gradually lifted his personal restrictions. In order to take care of their emotions and show the government's credit, Chen Wenqiang also deliberately paid this year's dividends in advance.

As the capital, China's political and cultural center, and possibly the economic center in the future, as long as the political situation is stable, the appreciation of real estate is absolutely predictable. In this regard, Chen Wenqiang is still very confident, besides, he has no cash, so he will not lose anything.

However, Prince Su Shanqi has always enjoyed special treatment, which is like detention, and it is the detention of the whole family. Of course, the new government is humanitarian, and every day the government takes out the money, makes a list of the items to be purchased, and naturally someone will do it for you, and even the rest of the money will be returned a lot of money.

The news is isolated, sitting in the well and watching the sky, and living like a year, this kind of taste makes Prince Su Shanqi feel like crazy.

What rescued the emperor, what first tried to be full of Mongolia, and then restored the Qing Dynasty step by step, all kinds of beautiful ideas seemed distant because they couldn't leave the house.

He walked around the flower hall like an ant in a hot pot, distraught, but there was nothing he could do.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and his son Xiandeok walked in, and Shanqi asked eagerly, "How?" Has the Revolutionary Party ever promised to lift the guards? ”

Xiande said with a bitter face: "The revolutionary party did not refuse to donate money and salary to the Su Palace, but they still refused to release the prisoner, and built sandbag fortifications and machine guns at the gate of the palace. ”

"Can they tell why?" Shanqi stomped his feet and said hatefully.

"They said, Commissioner Chen has something to bring to you, confess leniently, resist strictly." Xiande looked at his father with some hesitation, and said in a low voice: "When will you think clearly, write a letter of repentance, and then talk about the removal of imprisonment." Otherwise—"

"Otherwise what? They will destroy me. Shanqi said through gritted teeth.

Xiande swallowed his saliva and said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, they will be imprisoned for one hundred and eighty years, and they will let us save some money, so as not to have no money to buy food in the future, and we will go hungry." ”

Shanqi's eyes widened, staring at Xiande and panting, sitting on the chair for a while, and closed his eyes weakly. (To be continued.) )
