As in the past, Liu Jingxuan woke up very late, and after the dazzling sunlight window shone in, she suddenly got up, frowning and brushing away her long hair. When is it?

She glanced at the clock on the table, her vision blurred by the glare of the sun. It was late, just after noon. She rubbed her eyes. Halfway through the day. What's wrong with her?

For the past two weeks, she has slept longer and longer, whether or not she sleeps after vespers.

She wanted to get up, but the whole room swirled before her eyes. She quickly lay down, shook her head, and lay quietly until she was no longer dizzy.

The door was opened, and it snapped shut, and she didn't look up, just put her arms across her eyes. The footsteps of the people who came were very light, it was Cuixi.

She thought to herself, and then heard the sound of pouring water. She raised her arm and glanced at it. Cui Xi watched Miss wake up and hurriedly walked to Miss's bedside.

"Miss, hurry up and freshen up! I'll tell Mother Liu to cook something! ”

Liu Jingxuan ignored her, and stretched and yawned.

"Well, I'm so sleepy."

"Miss, I don't understand why you sleep almost all day."

Cui Xi's voice was not loud, and when she helped the young lady out of bed, looking at the young lady's slightly bulging lower abdomen, her expression couldn't help but darken, and she couldn't help hating the man who deserved a thousand knives.

When she got up, Liu Jingxuan involuntarily patted her lower abdomen a few times, and every night before going to bed, she must listen to the slight heartbeat sound of the child in her belly, and every day when she wakes up, she will greet the child in her belly.

Looking at the happy appearance on the young lady's face, Cui Xi didn't know whether it was sad or happy, her heart was just that Miss was not worthy, and the old man even threatened to kick Miss out of the house, but she didn't say whose child the child in her belly was, whose child it was?

Cui Xi's brows furrowed, and she couldn't think of who the young lady was with...... After freshening up, Liu Jingxuan propped up her waist and walked to the backyard, which was two worlds compared to Nanjing and Shanghai, which she was once familiar with.

On the west side of the backyard, there are several rooms with green walls and green tiles, which is a rural style, and outside the kitchen, a few servants are working: washing vegetables, killing chickens, ......, and some servants washing clothes by hand...... And walking outward, under the blue brick wall, some greens are grown.

As in the past, Liu Jingxuan walked to a big willow tree not far from the river, there was a reclining chair on the tree, and a stack of thin blankets was placed on the recliner early.

Sitting on the recliner, Liu Jingxuan, who was four months pregnant, everything returned to normal, no dizziness, no vomiting, and she was in good spirits, she lay on the recliner, squinting her big eyes and feeling the bright sunshine through the branches.

"It's so comfortable!"

"Miss, your breakfast, and the newspaper......"

A simple breakfast is placed on the small table on the recliner table, and there is a newspaper, in the past month or two, the young lady will read the newspaper every day, and even make newspaper clippings, when she gets up to eat, Liu Jingxuan is eating while reading the newspaper, and the front page of the newspaper is a piece of news.

"That is, thousands of gentry from Hubei after Hunan arrived in Beijing today to petition, please establish the name of the country and be called the emperor!"

"Emperor?"

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Liu Jingxuan was just stunned, in recent days, as the Beiyang and Guangfu armies forced into Beijing from the north and south, the voice of persuasion has passed day by day, and all that can be seen in the newspaper every day is the news of "building the Chinese empire and asking the government to be the emperor".

"Baby, your dad might be the emperor......"

Thinking that Liu Jingxuan patted his stomach lightly, and his brows were locked when he whispered on his lips, if he really became the emperor, he might ...... Liu Jingxuan, who was looking forward to the future, did not know that she was about to be involved in a storm at this time.

"Not to mention that after the empire, you need to have the model of a mother in the world, even if you are the wife of the future president, how can you be appointed by the British!"

As he spoke, Yulie's face showed a slick smile, as if he was flattering, but also as if he was not angry.

"The queen or lady, if it is an outsider, it will indeed cause some discomfort to the countrymen."

Tan Renfeng, who looked at ease, drank the cup, looked at Yu Lie in front of him, and added another sentence.

"If whether it is the future queen or the lady, it is a matter of the ruling family, how can outsiders such as me intervene!"

"No, the ruling today, Xu is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is the emperor, family affairs are state affairs, and our people can express their opinions!"

Yulie shook his head and put on a look of loyalty to the monarchy.

"Oh!"

Taking a sip of tea, Tan Renfeng responded lightly, staring at Yu Lie, brushing his beard but thinking about his intention to talk about this matter with himself.

"In this way, Ling Ji also agrees that China will be an empire in the future, a constitution, and the ruling position will be the emperor!"

Saying that, Tan Renfeng put on a questioning look.

Yulie just smiled awkwardly.

A month ago, Sun Xian, who had been in exile, returned to Shanghai and used Shanghai as a base to preach the republic and criticize the imperial system, and You Lie was one of Chen Yat-sen's cronies, and he also debated with the gentry and virtuous who supported the imperial system in the newspapers many times.

It was precisely this debate staged in the newspapers of the provinces that made the people know the advantages and disadvantages of the republic and the imperial system, compared with the republican power, the revolutionary party could only use the United States and France as arguments, but the people who supported the imperial system were Britain, Germany, Ben, Austria-Hungary and Russia, and even when the revolutionary party used France as an argument, the literati who supported the imperial system counterattacked with the French political axe and the chaos of the parliament, and even the merchants in France continued to publish the news of the French parliamentary struggle in China.

Although the ruling axe and the liberation society remained neutral in the debate on the grounds of "less argument and more for the country", it did not mean that the supporters would remain neutral, and under the leadership of the gentry who supported the ruling axe, the newspapers were almost one-sided in favor of the faction of "building an empire and implementing a constitution."

And for the common people, what they see is often only the emperor, many people in the countryside of Guangfu Province, have already recognized that the "ruling power" is the emperor, according to the city, the marshal is the Hong Wuye of the year, and now the line is "slow to be the king". But the current situation is that the situation in the world has become clear, and the recovery of the nation is just around the corner, and even if he is not the emperor, he is almost the de facto "emperor".

"Although the imperial system is not praised, if the imperial system is chosen by 450 million people, it should be the responsibility of the people of the country, and the decision of the people will be obeyed!"

Yureel made a sentence, a phrase that the consul kept repeating.

"The state system is determined by a vote of all citizens, and no group or party has the right to make decisions on behalf of the people!"

"For thousands of years, we have been just paying taxes! Now it's even more of a donation's sheep, a subordinate of alien enslavement! Hundreds of revolutionaries sang the praises of a republic, but if they closed their doors to the national decision, how could their actions be republicans? Definitely! How can hundreds of people make decisions for 45,000,000 people! How can we decide the fate of others! In this way, what is the difference between building a captive and deciding the fate of our clan for the selfish interests of a clan? ”

Thinking that the marshal was meeting with Mr., Mr. was just mentioning that China's failure lies in the practice of republic and the promotion of great harmony, which is what the people expect and the trend of the world, so the marshal said "If the people are elected as a republic, they must be done, and if they are elected by the people, they should be recognized...... If you use the will of the people to make a decision on behalf of the people, it is really a strong annihilation of the people's will! ”。

In a word, it completely blocked the last effort and attempt of Mr., and this also made Mr. believe that the handsome man was inclined to the imperial system, although he said that the imperial empire should be constitutional, but ...... The officials of the provinces were appointed by the ruling axe, not elected by the people, and their actions have been demonstrated.

"That's why Yu Lie has this worry, Mr. Shi Ping, as a member of the Advisory Office of the Ruling Axe, Yu Lie asked Mr. Shi Ping to govern on the table, and he should be with ......"

Without waiting for Yu Lie to finish speaking, Tan Renfeng opened his mouth to say a word.

"The Advisory Office is a place for the state to advise, how can such a ruling private family matter interfere with this councilor, and please don't mention it again!"

As soon as the words fell, Tan Renfeng raised his head and shouted outside.

"Sending off!"

"Mr. Shiping......"

Tan Yiming, who entered the house, saw his uncle's face stiff, and hurriedly bent over and arched his hand.

"Sir, please!"

When it came to this, Yulie was inconvenient to say any more, but bowed deeply and added.

"Mr. Shi Ping, you need to know that family affairs are state affairs......"

"Sir, please!"

Tan Yiming said in an aggravated tone, if this person doesn't know him anymore, he will really start to bombard him out. After sending You Lie out of the house, Tan Yiming, who returned to the living room, saw his uncle in the living room frowning and sighing.

"Uncle, ...... are you?"

"Yiming, you send a telegram to Yihong and Ershi, tell them that they need to be loyal to their duties, and must not be disturbed by the outside world, Yiming is in the army, when he kills the enemy and serves the country, he obeys the military order, and the second style is a civil affairs official in the township, and he needs not to be corrupt, seek the welfare of the people, and follow the decree of the ruling axe, if the two sons violate it, they should be expelled from the Tan family!"

His voice was not loud, but Tan Yiming was shocked when he heard it, he looked at his uncle who seemed to be thoughtful, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he listened to him.

"You go to the telegraph office to send a telegram, and I will go to the ruling axe to see the ruling party!"

Yu Lie's persuasion made Tan Renfeng feel that there should be a conspiracy brewing, which was aimed at the ruling party, so he hurriedly walked to the small courtyard where he lived, walked out of the alley and walked towards the ruling axe.

Slowly pushing away the file containing the intelligence from in front of him, Chen Moran first leaned on the circle chair and closed his eyes and pondered, he thought that in the future, maybe he would end up with the conspiracy, but he never thought that the conspiracy against himself had started now, and not only against himself, but also against his family.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Moran's brows were locked, and his hands holding the circle chair were tightly clasped into the chair circle, so that his knuckles were a little white, he had no reason not to be angry, this conspiracy against himself actually started with attacking his family, and then ...... Zhang Jing, who was sitting at the table, could feel the anger in the ruling heart, and the violent breathing had already exposed his anger, this was the first time he had seen the boss angry, and he couldn't help but sympathize with those who were involved.

The Second Detective Section is a sword hidden in the sleeve of the boss, and those who have heard of him still think that his mission is just to collect military intelligence, but on the other hand? He is the boss's dark sword, and in fact, this is what Zhang Jing wants.

Opening his eyes, Chen Moran slightly moved his gaze to the garden outside, the lake full of lotus leaves was like a mirror, only occasionally a swallow dotted to cause a ripple, the ripples that broke a pool of lake water seemed to mean an impending storm in Chen Moran's eyes, he could fully imagine that from now on, one of his feet was in purgatory, and the other foot was in heaven.

After retracting his gaze, Chen Moran looked at Zhang Jing, who was sitting in front of him, he was the person in charge of his own intelligence, and smoked a few cigarettes in a row, until he finished smoking the cigarette between his fingers, and then turned his gaze to the file file on the table and asked.

"Well, how do you explain this to me?"

"Cory analysts have repeatedly verified this news. This is unusual, so I have to verify that it is reliable. ”

"Who gave you this news, is it reliable?"

"Completely reliable, the person who provided the information is the inside line we have planted in it, and his loyalty should not be questioned."

Just nodded, Chen Moran pulled the document in front of him again and browsed it again:

“…… Therefore, for the sake of rebuilding China's political axe, for the sake of maintaining permanent peace in the Far East, and for the sake of realizing the achievements of the imperial policy of the present country, I say that we should take advantage of the present opportunity to urge China to become a constitutional monarchy, and to make it a starting point to make it consistent with the constitution of the monarchy and different from other countries...... Changing China's political system is the only doctrine that should be adopted when rebuilding China. It is also a good opportunity for me to encourage the revolutionary party and other figures who are dissatisfied with the political axe of the Chinese government to rise up in China. At present, the reason why such people cannot be unscrupulous is because of the lack of capital. If the imperial government can take advantage of its lack of capital, pretend to borrow money, and instigate rebellion, then the whole of China will be in chaos. I said, "I may rise up and interfere and put things in order." We should accommodate the Chinese Revolutionary Party, the Royalists, and other figures who are dissatisfied with the political axe of China, in order to disturb the whole of China. The whole country was disturbed, and the result was the overthrow of the Nanking political axe......"

Putting down the information in his hand, Chen Moran was silent, just like before, sitting there and pondering for a long time, before he raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Jing, examining this face, can he be trusted? At least for the time being, he can be trusted, who can give him more power but himself? All his power depends on the trust he places in him.

Zhang Jing, who was stared at by the boss like this, became a little uncomfortable, he could feel the strange color in the boss's eyes, and for a moment he almost felt that he was going to lose something, this feeling made him feel a kind of fear, he knew that if he lost something, he would be beaten back to his original form.

After pondering for a few minutes, Chen Moran stared at Zhang Jing and asked.

"Now you say, after this,"

As he spoke, he nodded to the table.

"I thought the first person to target me should be the one from the north? But I didn't expect it to be them, and they also attracted outsiders. Why the silence? You don't know how to answer? Or can't you make up your mind? ”

"Boss, I can ...... if you want"

Zhang Jing's bland eyes revealed a little ruthlessness, he knew that his identity was actually a sharp sword in the boss's sleeve, even if the sword was always stained with blood.

"Kill them?"

Chen Moran asked in a cold voice.

"Hmmm! Death is the most convenient way to deal with problems! ”

But then, he said with another frown.

"But death only dealt with the problem, but it didn't solve the problem."

"Yes, boss!"

"People who don't like us? I think maybe it's not just a few, maybe there are more, they always fantasize, imagine, that their actions are better for the country! But...... Who has the qualifications to decide the future of this country? I don't think I have, but they always think they have it! ”

There was some sarcasm in Chen Moran's words, he should think about what to do, he was silent and began to think about the future, although he was unwilling to face all this, many questions were unavoidable.

"Boss, whether it is based on our intelligence or the current civilian orientation, they have not received much support, and even there are disagreements within them!"

"Hmmm! I know that! ”

Chen Moran nodded, but continued to think.

"I'll keep this document, and occasionally I'll open it to remind myself...... Think about it! How can we get more detailed information? ”

Staring at Zhang Jing, can he really trust him?

He hesitated in his heart, and after muttering for dozens of seconds, Chen Moran raised his head again and said a word.

"Jing Tao, that ...... I'm going to set up a new intelligence bureau! ”

When Zhang Jing listened to this sentence, he was excited, but he didn't show any emotion, he knew that the more he was at this time, the more he had to restrain the joy in his heart.

"Hmmm! An intelligence agency specializing in internal security! I now think it's necessary! ”

With this document on the table in his hand, only by grasping their movements can he give the most direct counterattack and never be merciful to the enemy.

"Well, I'll think about it again!"

Fingers tapped this document from time to time, Chen Moran's brows furrowed from time to time, although his heart was unwilling, but there were always things to do,.

“…… Maybe we should fight back immediately? You know what I mean to retaliate, when the enemy is ready to use it on public opinion, then we have to give a decisive counterattack in public opinion, maybe ......"

Looking at the document on the desktop, Chen Moran was silent again.

"Perhaps, they just gave us a good reason and evidence, didn't they?"

"Yes, boss, but now we only have the content of the information, and we do not have the original copy of the information!"

Zhang Jing vaguely felt that maybe this time should be a test for himself, and the boss was testing whether he was qualified to master the "intelligence bureau".

"Hmmm! No, you don't need to be taught by me, just do what you know! I just need to know the result! ”

Saying that, Chen Moran put away the document, and then picked up another document, this conspiracy is just an episode, the most important thing is the recovery plan!

(Some big say, many revolutionary pioneers in the Liberation Society will not agree with the imperial system, but in fact, after the Gengzi Huizhou Uprising, the Xingzhong Society fell into a split, which can be described as a rebellion, the third uprising even dragged on to Huanghuagang 7 years later, and many revolutionary backbones accepted the revolution after the Russo-Russian War, especially after the abolition of the imperial examination in 1905, it was the last bit of contact between the Manchus and the gentry class, 5 years later, the revolution became irreversible, and at this time, those revolutionary backbones after 7 years, But most of them believe in national restoration, but the form of government is not what they consider. Different times, different choices. In 1911, there were at least a million students among them, but what was there in 1904? Including kindergartens and elementary schools, there are only more than 200,000 students in the country.

In 1903, Sun Yat-sen began to contact the academic community in the book, and in the novel, the protagonist has already begun to contact the academic community in 1902. ）
