After Yuan Shikai left the ruling axe in despair, all kinds of stories about Yuan Shikai began to be widely spread in the living rooms of Nanjing dignitaries, in the lounges of organs at all levels, in teahouses, restaurants, and streets and alleys. In an instant, a prominent man seemed to be about to become a civilian who was targeted by the public.

The people who are looking for jobs and sending food to fight the autumn wind are no longer coming, and the people who tend to be attached to the flames dare not touch the side, and the more timid and afraid people don't even dare to cross the gate of the Yuan Mansion on Pingkang Road.

The inner room of the Yuan Mansion was a mess. Mrs. Yu cried and cried all day long, and the concubines in each room were at a loss. Yuan Kewen also had no intention of going to Goulan, so he shy away at home to study. A large group of young masters and young ladies were busy packing their luggage with their biological mothers. Up and down the entire Yuan Mansion, almost no one understood the reason behind this flying disaster.

And correspondingly, the state of mind of Yuan Shikai, the owner of the Yuan Mansion in this mansion, is also complicated, and he has a sad demeanor all day long. I close my eyes almost every day, and I still feel a little scared when I think of the training of the ruling party that day. The ruling face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold.

He pondered bitterly, and his troubles, anxiety, and a little fear were mixed with him, so that he finally became restless, and even the things that he was most interested in were abandoned. In these days, he was alone in the bedroom at night, with six wives and concubines, and none of them were lucky. Yuan Shikai's abnormality brought a lot of surprise to the Yuan Mansion. None of his wives and concubines and children could understand his thoughts.

"Hey!"

Yuan Shikai let out a long sigh in his mouth, and seemed to see the thick disappointment on the gloomy face of the ruling axe.

I really can't read it! The previous overt and covert suppression made Yuan Shikai disappointed, and this disappointment made him, who was already good at drilling, take risks and chose a path that seemed to be full of crises, but on this kind of road, the eyes of the ruling people were really staring.

"Master, Mr. Sun has arrived"

When he was thinking so in his heart, when the porter said a word, Yuan Shikai hurriedly dropped the cigar in his hand, walked out of the study quickly, and personally came to the gate to greet Sun Yat-sen.

Compared with the appearance of the first time he came to Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen is obviously blessed. He was originally slender and fair-skinned, but now he looks even more graceful and extraordinary. Unlike in the past, he also lost a suit on his body, but a Chinese-style dress set by the ruling government, and he had medium hair on his head.

"Brother Zhongshan, these days, you can come to see me alone."

As soon as he went out, Yuan Shikai held his hand very affectionately, his face was full of smiles, in the past few days, it can be said that in front of the Yuan Mansion, it can be said that there are Monroe Keque, for him as expected, the ruling government threw down those reports that asked Yuan Shikai to kill, there are many words that seem so familiar, he knows that those people are all people who have received his favor, and even Beiyangmen people.

"Brother Weiting!"

Sun Yat-sen nodded and looked at the senior who had been severely reprimanded by the ruling government. I saw that his face was obviously dark and thin, and his hair was thicker than the thickness of his lips, and a lot of white hair appeared on his temples, and his expression was a little tired, but his two round eyes were still bright, as if to tell people that the sharpness in his chest had not diminished. Sun Yat-sen felt a little relieved.

There was relative silence for a while, and Sun Yat-sen spoke.

"Three days ago, I wanted to pay a visit to the house, but the ruling axe over there appointed me as an advisor to the ruling axe, so I ......"

"Oh? Brother is now in the ruling axe? ”

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly.

"My brother is now in power, and he will spread his wings, but Yuan and I have nothing to do, so I can only close the door......"

In his heart, Yuan Shikai knew that the ruling axe was afraid that he was going to attack this Sun Yat-sen, and he served as the adviser to the ruling axe. Inviting Sun Yat-sen into the curtain is probably only the first step of the ruling axe, and the second step is probably to let him go abroad for investigation, and the third step...... As the two were talking, as his father had commanded, he brought in with two servants. A servant placed two wine glasses, two pairs of jade chopsticks, and a pot of Funiu Mountain Laojiao wine on the coffee table. Another servant held six bowls of dishes on a lacquered wooden plate and laid them out one by one on the coffee table.

Yuan Shikai picked up the chopsticks and pointed.

"Brother Zhongshan, knowing that you are coming, I asked Keding to inform the kitchen and prepare a few snacks for you. You taste it, it doesn't fit the taste. ”

"Okay, okay."

Sun Yat-sen raised his wine glass as he spoke.

"It's fried hump. This bowl of bear's paw was stewed the day before yesterday, and you can see if it's rotten. ”

Yuan Shikai said as he knocked on the bowl with chopsticks.

"Wei Ting, you are too extravagant, you only have occasional gatherings, what are you doing with these expensive dishes?"

Because of many years of poverty, Sun Yat-sen is not particular about snacks. His chopsticks didn't reach for the hump, but he took a shredded fish from a fish bowl and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said.

"This fish tastes good, in fact, this bowl of fish is enough."

Yuan Shikai smiled and asked, "Do you know what kind of fish this is?" ”

Sun Yat-sen stared at him and replied.

"It's like a carp."

"Yes, it's a carp. Do you know where this carp comes from? ”

"I don't know." Sun Yat-sen put down his chopsticks.

"This is the Yellow River carp of Mengjin." Yuan Shikai's chopsticks dotted on the fiery red scales.

"Only the Yellow River carp in Mengjin have such red scales, and they are lighter elsewhere."

"Mengjin is more than 1,000 miles away from Nanjing, isn't this fish all bad, how to keep it fresh?"

Sun Yat-sen asked in surprise.

When King Wu of Zhou raised troops to fight against the king of Shang, when crossing the Yellow River in Mengjin, a big carp jumped into his boat, and King Wu of Zhou regarded it as a mascot. Li Bai's poem: "The three-foot carp of the Yellow River is originally in Mengjinju." The amount is not a dragon, and it returns with a fish. This is where the canon comes from. As a result, the Yellow River carp in the Mengjin area has become a delicacy.

"One of my own families works in Mengjin, and he came to Yanjing a few days ago and gave me a wooden box. I asked him what it was, and he laughed and didn't answer. When I opened the box, it turned out to be a box of lard. I said what are you sending this thing for, and there is no shortage of Jingshi. He said don't worry, the good guys are inside. He took out the lard with his hand, and actually took out a fish, and said I will bring you five Mengjin carp, and use this method to keep it fresh. The fish that has escaped alive is stuffed into the lard, sealed on all sides, not afraid of the heat of June, nor afraid of being stored for three months or five months, when it is to be eaten, and when it is to be eaten, it is no different from a live fish except that it will not swim again. ”

"Is there such a good way to keep fresh? No wonder the fish tastes so good! ”

Sun Yat-sen sandwiched another piece of fish and praised, he looked at this table of dishes worth a thousand gold, in contrast, the ruling axe in the ruling axe every day to eat but look shabby, when eating alone, a bowl of rice, a meat and a vegetarian two dishes, the cost is not more than a dime of silver dollars, for this Sun Yat-sen is admired, after all, with the wealth of the Chen family, the ruling show, the bowl of rice and two dishes is even a little undignified.

"I'm not unusual, though."

Yuan Shikai put down his chopsticks, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"I said to my family, don't work this god in the future, I will go back to my hometown in Henan soon, I will build a thatched hut in Mengjin to live, be a Yellow River fisherman, and you can eat the live Mengjin Yellow River carp every day."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Yat-sen put his chopsticks on the coffee table, looking at the vice chairman who helped him when he was cold, although there have been rumors in the market these days, he has heard of it, but before the inside story, he is unwilling to make inferences.

"Hey, Brother Zhongshan!"

Yuan Shikai's back leaned back, with a sad expression. At the same time, he touched his head again.

"I am in Nanjing, although I enjoy respect, but in fact it is like a tiger into a cage, since I came to Nanjing, the ruling is open to me and secretly suppressed, but in fact, the heart of vigilance is not reduced, everyone said two days ago, I was reprimanded by the government, but there are a few people who know, why the ruling reprimanded me......"

"Comfort Court, what is the matter with what you are doing!"

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly.

"Brother Zhongshan knows, I took the lead in petitioning to prepare for the referendum,"

Sun Yat-sen nodded, this is the strategy of the two of them, which is intended to check the heart of the ruling axe.

"Three days ago, I went to the ruling axe to do exactly this, and it was possible to govern, but in the end, the ruling said that our national political axe had never prepared any referendums and elections, and the advisory office and the people had loud voices asking for a foreign investigation, so they were about to send a delegation to various countries to investigate,"

"Since it should be like this, we should study and learn from the experience of other countries, and it is not bad to be in power!"

Sun Yat-sen nodded yes.

"But in terms of candidates, it has been difficult to determine for a long time, the candidate of the leader is an important member of the ruling axe, and the members of the group need to be considered, when Yuan took the initiative to ask Ying to take the group to the ocean for inspection, so there is a ......"

After a long sigh, Yuan Shikai closed his eyes, and when he closed his eyes, he said again in his heart, "Brother Zhongshan, I'm sorry!" After that reprimand, Yuan Shikai knew who his head was tied to, and the same ruling words could not be clearer, either he would guard the duty of the minister, or he would be in the first two places, he could only choose the former, and as a choice, he was to betray the one in front of him.

Actually, it's not about selling, it's just ...... Well! Isn't that the reason why everyone has fellowship with each other?

"Brother Wei Ting is in the position of vice chairman of the ruling axe, and it is very suitable to lead the delegation to investigate, and it is really intolerable to govern on this!"

"Capacity?"

Yuan Shikai shook his head.

"Brother Zhongshan, you only know one, don't know the second, this overseas expedition, by no means comparable to the past, this overseas inspection is to inspect the political system, politics, military, economy, industry, etc., and the [***] political dignitaries will inevitably have dealings, the ruling Yuan originally had different opinions, and Yuan was not allowed to participate in such important matters, but it was also expected......"

Sun Yat-sen stared at Yuan Shikai, who had the appearance of a vice chairman and the reality of a trapped beast, and his words were like a flash of lightning, making him suddenly see something that he had overlooked.

Yuan Shikai's hand with a cigar gently patted Sun Yat-sen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Zhongshan, let's take care of each other! I don't have a chance, but you still have a chance! ”
