On March 12, the 14th year of the Republic of China, Sun Wen died of illness in his Beijing residence, and the ruling government immediately stopped the cabinet meeting, specifically discussed funeral matters, and decided to instruct the Ministry of the Interior to hold a state funeral in accordance with the precedent of Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang.

The flags of the whole city were flown at half-mast for three days, and foreign legations also flown their flags at half-mast to mourn, and the news spread throughout the country, and all localities raised mourning and mourning.

The Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang held an extraordinary meeting in Beijing, rejected the ruling government's state funeral order, complied with the premier's wishes, adopted the national system for burial, and sent the body to the Union Hospital for embalming before holding a funeral.

A week later, Chen Zikun suddenly received a phone call from the prime minister, asking him to go to discuss the funeral matters quickly, Chen Zikun was very puzzled, Sun Wen's funeral was arranged by his close people, although he was a serious member of the Kuomintang, but he had been out of the organization for a long time, and it was only a false name, why should he be invited.

Rushing to Xingyuan, Mrs. Sun personally received him, and the surviving person dressed in plain clothes sat quietly in front of the window, although he didn't say a word, it was already heartbreaking.

"Zikun, the Prime Minister has ordered you to support the coffin, you can prepare." Madame's voice was soft, but it was unmistakable.

It is a great honor to support the coffin for the prime minister, why did it fall on his head, Chen Zikun looked up, his wife's eyes were like water, and there were tears on his face, and his heart was sour, so he didn't ask more, and he agreed and retreated.

After Chen Zikun left, a group of Kuomintang Central Executive Committee members walked in and said indignantly: "The coffin bearer needs to follow the party comrades who have followed the prime minister for many years, why did you choose this wall grass Chen Zikun." ”

Mrs. Sun said: "This is the Prime Minister's last order, do you want to overthrow it?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and had to retreat.

"How can you understand the layout of the prime minister?" Madame sighed silently in her heart.

On March 19, Sun Yat-sen's coffin was moved from Union Hospital to the Central Park Shejitan, early in the morning, a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the hospital, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the coffin set off, a total of 24 people supported the coffin, divided into three groups, each group put the people back and forth, Chen Zikun was dressed in a general's uniform, his expression was solemn, and he walked slowly behind the coffin, 10,000 people in Beijing were empty, and more than 100,000 people competed to protect the soul along the way.

The heads of state and envoys from various countries in Beijing came to offer their condolences, but Duan Qirui, as the head of state, did not come in person on the pretext that his feet were swollen and he could not wear shoes, but only appointed the chief of internal affairs as a representative to come to offer condolences, which caused the Kuomintang to be angry and sternly questioned.

According to Sun Wen's wishes, the body should be buried in the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, but now the north and south transportation is inconvenient, the country has not yet been reunified, the time is not enough, can only be temporarily placed in Beijing Xishan Biyun Temple, all the procedures Chen Zikun as the prime minister of the capacity of the proximity, there are also rumors in the market, that Chen Zikun is born in the League, the Kuomintang veteran, Sun Wen Wei Yunyun.

Shun Chengqun Wangfu, Yang Yuting took the photo of Sun Wen's funeral and said: "Old handsome, look, Chen Zikun and the rebel party in the south are in collusion, and finally show the stuffing, Xu Shuzheng is right, this kid is a thief and a thief, and it will be a disaster for us to play with Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang." ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "I heard Xiao Liuzi mention this matter, it's not so serious, it's just a post in Sun Wenwei's team, Chen Zikun misses the old master, is loyal to the liver and courage, and has nothing to say." ”

Yang Yuting beat his chest and paused: "Old handsome, don't be careless, Chen Zikun has a deep relationship with the young marshal and Zhang Zongchang, this son is thoughtful and sleek, I'm afraid the young marshal will fall for him." ”

Zhang Zuolin haha: "Xiao Liuzi likes to make friends, it's not a bad thing, he is not confused in big things." ”

Yang Yuting retreated with hatred.

Having said that, Zhang Zuolin still has a mustard in his heart.

Not only Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui was also shocked after hearing that Chen Zikun was supporting Sun Wen's coffin, regardless of the direct Anhui and Feng lines, they are all orthodox in Beiyang, the Kuomintang started as a rebellion, and the two sides are in the same situation, Chen Zikun, the rising star of Beiyang, turned out to be a hidden Kuomintang, which is really uncomfortable.

Chen Zikun won a huge reputation for Sun Wen's coffin, and was called the most democratic and revolutionary general by the Beijing press, and his reputation chased Feng Yuxiang, and the big names in the press Shao Piaoping and Lin Baishui invited Chen Zikun to drink, and the banquet was full of progressive democrats in Beijing, and he lashed out at the ruling government of the Feng system between his words, and the famous reporter Ruan Mingchuan even used the strength of the wine to lower his voice and said: "Brother Kunwu, I see that Feng Huanzhang is in the north, and you are in the southeast, and the Kuomintang in Guangzhou will launch a hard blow against Beiyang and destroy the coalition government of Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui. We embraced you as Prime Minister! ”

Chen Zikun was shocked by these words, and only then did he understand that supporting Sun Wen's coffin brought him not only reputation, but also risks, these Beijing progressives can praise people, and even more ruin, if he stays in Beijing again, I am afraid that he will not be far from the landing of people.

In recent months, Lin Wenjing has been studying behind closed doors, reviewing hard, and preparing for the entrance examination of Peking University.

In addition to studying, Lin Wenjing sometimes takes her younger brother to the student apartment in Dongwenchang Hutong to help, where poor students from all over the country live, including Peking University and Tsinghua Normal University.

Chen Zikun found that no matter where he went, there were people secretly following, and more than one group of people, he did not know whether he was following the people in the government, or the people from the army, or both, the danger was getting closer and closer, he secretly entrusted his father-in-law to buy a ferry ticket, and only took two guards to leave Beijing.

When embarking on the journey, Chen Zikun went to Lin Mansion to say goodbye, but was told that Lin Wenjing went to the student apartment to help, so he rushed over again, the sun set, the two said goodbye at the door, the sky was full of red glow, and the beauty was intoxicating.

"Study hard, I will send someone to send someone on time for the living expenses, and I'm leaving." Chen Zikun gently hugged Lin Wenjing, lowered the brim of his hat and turned to leave.

Looking at his back and disappearing around the corner of the alley, Lin Wenjing was stunned, the past time can't be restarted anyway, even if he and his uncle really love each other, the two can't stay together, this is fate.

Slowly turning around and entering the door, I heard someone behind me ask in Shanghainese Chinese: "Excuse me, is this a student apartment?" ”

Lin Wenjing turned around and found a dusty young man standing in front of him, with a rattan box and luggage roll at his feet, a crumpled suit, but a pair of eyes were shining, it was Han Letian, a teacher from Zhenhua Primary School in Nanshi, Shanghai.

"How are you?" The two said at the same time.

"I came to Beijing to take the university entrance examination." Han Lotian scratched his head excitedly.

Chen Zikun rushed to Tianjin overnight, took a boat south to Shanghai, and only after arriving did he send a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, saying that he was concerned about his wife, and returned to Shanghai first, and the brothers would reunite another day.

Zhang Xueliang took the telegram and smiled at Guo Songling: "This Chen Zikun was scared away by Yang Yuting, and they all said that he was bold, and I couldn't see it." ”

Guo Songling is Zhang Xueliang's best friend, the two have nothing to talk about, and at this time he responded: "Chen Kunwu now has a big family, and if he can go to the meeting with a single knife to show the courage of a husband, he will not do it, Yang Yuting assassinated him once and failed, and now he has sent people to keep an eye on him, so everyone has to be afraid." ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "Yang Yuting is not enough to succeed, and he is more than defeated, and he pushes his allies to the opposite side, I don't like this person, by the way, Maochen, I am ready to recommend you to my father to be the governor of Jiangsu, you have a psychological preparation." ”

Guo Songling said: "I'm only a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "These territories in the Guannai are all fought by you, you can't do it, who can, can you let Yang Yuting shake the goose feather fan?" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

……

Chen Zikun rushed to Shanghai, and was counted down by Yao Yilei, saying that how can a wife give birth and her husband wander outside all day, even if the day of the birth is in mid-June, time is running out.

The provincial capital of Jiangdong has Yan Su and Liu Youjin in charge, one article and one martial arts complement each other, but it is also safe and sound, Chen Zikun is happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and accompany his wife in Shanghai to give birth.

When the news of Chen Dashuai's arrival in Shanghai came out, people from all walks of life had to come to invite him again, Chen Zikun could push it, and he could block it, but he couldn't refuse the invitation of Tang Yan and Tang Ying's sisters.

I had long promised to train the boy scouts, and it was delayed until today, Tang Ying pouted and came to the door to ask the teacher, she was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old charming little girl, how could Chen Zikun pull down her face and scold people, so she had to ask her: "Didn't I say it, just go to Wusong to find Colonel Xue, why don't you go." ”

Tang Ying said: "We don't know others, so we're looking for you." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Okay, let's wait a few more months and run a Boy Scout summer camp." ”

Tang Ying said: "It's not good, it's not good, you don't know where you're going to go during the summer vacation, just do it now, run a spring camp." ”

Chen Zikun was shocked: "How can there be a spring camp." ”

Tang Ying said: "It's because we don't have it, we have to do it, and then my sister will come, and she will start your admirer." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What about you? Xiao Nan. ”

Tang Yingqiao's face flushed: "Our teachers and students in the school are all your fans." ”

Seeing off Miss Tang, Jian Bing swayed out from behind the screen and said with a meaningful smile: "Chen Dashuai, this little girl likes you." ”

Chen Zikun hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, people are still young. ”

Jianbing said: "You can wait for her to grow up, and it will be a year or two." ”

Chan said: "I don't have that idea. ”

Jian Bing said: "You don't, you can't stand it, the young man is handsome, and he is an overseer, whose girl is not impressed, that is, a fool like me and Lei Lei, let the high-ranking officials and rich men don't want it, and choose a penniless poor bastard, hum, Lei Lei chose a stinky cart puller, I chose an assassin who worked for others, we are really stupid." ”

Chen Zikun panicked and hurriedly apologized, promising to buy Jianbing the latest arrival Swarovski crystal headdress, and then covered up the matter.

However, the spring camp still has to be held.
