Looking back at the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1902, historians have debated about what was going on on the land of China during those turbulent days, but one thing is undeniable, almost every historian, no matter what his position or point of view, will not deny the fact that after the victory of the Northeast Army in the "Coastal Campaign", in fact, there is no fact that the whole of China can stop the Northeast from unifying China.

It was from then on that for His Majesty the Emperor, who had more than 2.5 million troops at his disposal, it was only a matter of time and manner of reunification. This is a well-known fact.

To a certain extent, in traditional Chinese culture, although we will praise "foolish loyalty", in fact, traditional culture despises such words as "lonely loyalty", "gentlemen do not stand under dangerous walls", "those who know the times are handsome", and so on, affect almost every Chinese, and Chinese people are often extremely intelligent, and when faced with a choice, they often make unexpected choices. Just like the choices made by the "smart people" in those turbulent days! ”

"The Choice of History"

Jiangning!

To some extent, Jiangning was already in a state of anarchy at this time, although the army was maintaining order, most of the officials and police here stopped working, and many even took to the streets to stand with the young students. In the past ten years, people have long hated the Manchu Qing and have no intention of being enslaved by it anymore, and outside the city gate of Jiangning, thousands of policemen in Jiangning are armed with weapons, vigilant against the Eight Banners in the city.

However, in the face of the turbulent turmoil in the city, almost no one dared to resist except for trembling in the bottom of their hearts, even for Jiangning General Chongshan, they only sent people to inquire about the situation again and again, asking the attitude of Liu Arsenic, the governor of Liangjiang, and now for these Eight Banners in the city, the most important thing is Liu Kunyi's attitude.

For Liu Kunyi at this time, he was in the storm, and in the past few days, he had been "dragging out" by illness, trying to "drag" out a reason, just as he thought, but in just two days, the wind and clouds were abrupt, and the telegram sent from the capital disrupted Liu Kunyi's position.

“…… The queen mother was killed by the rebellious people, and the emperor hanged himself in the Xinuan Pavilion ......"

Hearing his son read the secret telegram from Jingli here, Liu Kun felt that his eyes suddenly turned black, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. The entire Liangjiang Governor's Mansion was suddenly in a panic, and the doctor held his hand, and couldn't find his pulse for a long time, so he quietly pulled the eldest prince aside and said:

"I'm afraid the boss won't be able to do it, so let's go and prepare."

Exactly, what to prepare?

When Liu Nengji began to prepare for his father's afterlife, Liu Kunyi woke up again, and it was already dark at this time. The first time he woke up, the first thing he asked was, how is the Northeast?

After learning that Tang Haoran was invited by Wanmin to "add a yellow robe" in Shenyang, Liu Kunyi was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Oh, finally on the throne......"

After saying this, Liu Kunyi was silent again, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was making some decisions.

"Go, send someone to invite Chongshan over and let him come by himself!"

After breaking the silence again, Liu Kunyi commanded his son, but his sloppy gaze was extremely firm. A decision had been made in his heart.

"If he doesn't come, tell him directly, and the old man will send troops to invite him!" Just use his head as a head for Tang Ziran! ”

Liu Kunyi's words made everyone's hearts cold, but it also made everyone's hearts relaxed, when changing the dynasty, everyone will make a choice, but everyone knows very well that Liangjiang is unable to carry the strong Northeast Army, if Zhuang Shuai "stubbornly resists", then the big guys will not have to be buried together, and even in private, there have been many officials in secret contact with the Northeast in the past two days. Now Zhuang Shuai's words made them breathe a sigh of relief, at least, Zhuang Shuai also saw the current situation.

However, why is it called Chongshan?

Chongshan is the general of Jiangning, and he is the leader of the thousands of banner soldiers in the city, but they don't pay attention to those banner soldiers - although Zhuang Shuai has not driven away the banner soldiers in the city for many years, but those flag soldiers have long existed in name only, even their guns and cannons are just old goods from more than ten years ago, and they have long been dilapidated.

At the time of the lantern, the frightened Chongshan finally came. At this time, there was silence inside and outside the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, and grief weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. Everyone silently made way for Chongshan.

"The old man wants to see the lower officials, only, just say something, what, why do you need to be so ......"

With a look of reverence, he came to Liu Kunyi's sickbed and said cowardly.

In fact, if Liu Kunyi hadn't said that he would send troops to invite him and kill him, Chongshan would not have come here, who knows if this person surnamed Liu wanted to use him as a vote?

"Sit!"

Liu Kun glanced at Chongshan, and sighed in his heart, what are you doing? It's all at this time...... That's it, that's it......

Hurriedly sat down, Chongshan looked at the Governor of Liangjiang with a dead face and blank eyes, and he said a little nervously when he couldn't figure out his intentions:

"The handsome man is loyal to the country's reputation, take good care of it."

The reason why Chongshan said this is that his purpose is simple, it is nothing more than to use this sentence to remind him that you have been a loyal minister for a lifetime, and the reputation of this life can not be ruined.

However, at this time, it is useless to say anything, Chongshan has already known the changes in the capital, and knows the fate of the two palaces, the reason why he came here is nothing more than to save his life, although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he can see the situation clearly, after Tang Ziran in the northeast ascended the throne, it is only a matter of time before these governors and adults throw their hands on the country, no one can resist the onslaught of the Northeast Army, after all, people can even defeat hundreds of thousands of foreign devils.

Liu Kun said weakly.

"Loyalty to the country...... I don't dare to take these four words, this Great Qing Kingdom, now there is no Hanchen who is willing to be these four words......"

Yes, now that Hanchen dares to be these four words, he is a traitor. Liu Kunyi's words suddenly only made Chongshan's heart tremble, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, could it be that he, he Liu Kunyi, wanted to rebel......

This will Chongshan even have the heart to die, and constantly scolding himself in his heart, scolding himself for being a pig's brain, he has to come to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, don't come here, don't come here...... Isn't that still a death?

"Zhuang, Zhuang Shuai, small, villain ......"

"Don't be afraid, if the old man wants to kill you and others, how can you be allowed to live until now?"

Although he felt that his life was like a gossamer, Liu Kunyi was still sober-minded. After this illness, he thought a lot, although the most thought was the future of the Liu family, but Xu was a lifelong sage book, so that when he was thinking about the future of the Liu family, he was also thinking about the court, but for the capital, he didn't even think about it, he understood that those things were not what he could think about, he couldn't manage the capital, and he didn't dare to manage it, but he could manage Jiangning.

Find a way to save the lives of tens of thousands of banners in Jiangning City! This can be regarded as his last contribution to the Qing Dynasty as a courtier, and it is also the last act of Liu Kunyi to repay the emperor's kindness.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live!"

Barely holding himself up, Liu Kunyi stared at Chongshan and asked.

"Live, live, the villain naturally wants to live!"

"Then you go back now, go back and use your General Jiangning to support Tang Ziran as the emperor......"

"Ahh

Looking at Liu Kunyi in astonishment, Chongshan couldn't believe his ears.

"Zhuang, Zhuang Shuai......"

"What, isn't it possible that you want to be the same as the two houses? Do you want to make this city of Jiangning like the city of Beijing? ”

Liu Kun looked at Chongshan, who had no responsibility, and continued.

"As long as you send this telegram, don't dare to say anything else, the old man will try his best to save the lives of you and the people in Jiangning Mancheng, okay, you can reply, the telegram, whether to send it or not, it's all up to you." That's all the old man said......"

"Much, thank you, the old man lives the grace of tens of thousands of flag people......"

Finally, after understanding Liu Kunyi's intentions, with tears streaming down his face, he knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Kunyi, then quietly retreated, went out and left the Governor's Mansion under the protection of the Governor's Palace's guards. Yi Shunding, who had been staying by the door, hurriedly came in and asked:

"Boss, what else do you have to order?"

Zhang Zhidong opened his eyes and looked at the friends in front of him, which is equivalent to entering the curtain from a poor and beautiful man in the past, and today he has become a feudal official, and now this Qing Dynasty is ...... Thousands of words came to my heart, but I didn't know where to start. He couldn't say anything. Just a long sigh:

"The country's fortunes are over. Send a telegram to Your Majesty! ”

After that, Liu Kunyi closed his eyes again. Everyone knows what country he refers to, and who His Majesty he refers to.

Late at night, Liu Kunyi woke up from his coma again and looked around. Liu Nengji knew that his father was going to leave his last words, so he walked forward with all his younger siblings and nephews, bent down to listen. I saw Liu Kun say softly word by word:

"There is always death, and you need not mourn. In my life, I have practiced academic treatment, but four or five out of ten, but fortunately, the mental art is very positive. He has been an official for more than 40 years, working diligently and not seeking personal gain. When you die, if you don't add one house or one acre of land, you can be worthy of your ancestors. I hope you will not lose the grace of the country, do not fall into the family style, you will know the distinction between gentlemen and villains, do not fight for property, and do not fall into the ...... of obscenity"

Seeing that his father seemed to be unfinished, but he didn't say any more, Liu Nengji said with tears in his eyes:

"Rest assured, father, children and grandchildren will remember your teachings!"

The relatives and friends who were waiting around thought that Liu Kun had passed, but unexpectedly, after a while, his lips moved again.

"Shifu ......"

"Mr. Yi, my father invites you over!"

Liu Nengji said to Yi Shunding, who was standing behind the descendants of the Liu family.

Yi Shunding hurriedly walked over, shook Dong Weng's hand and said:

"Zhuang Shuai, I'm here."

"You, you...... All of them, they all chose the wrong person......"

Looking at Yi Shunding, looking at this friend who had been selected by Wang Minyun, a famous man in central Hunan when he was a child, Liu Kunyi's eyes seemed to have infinite attachment and regret, and it took a long time before he snorted, but he couldn't make a sound clearly.

"Liu family, please brother......"

Keep your ear close to his lips and listen hard. After Liu Kunyi's lips were closed, Liu Nengji hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Yi, what did my father say?"

"Uh......"

Faced with the question of the eldest son, Yi Shunding was at a loss, and he looked at Zhuang Shuai who was lying on the couch and his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and then looked at the people in the room with sad expressions, his heart became more and more heavy.

"I chose the wrong person......

What does Zhuang Shuai mean in his words?

Thinking of the teachings of the teacher back then, as well as the efforts of the brothers and sisters in various scenes over the years, and then to ...... After all, I still chose the wrong person!

For his life goal, after working hard for more than 20 years, he was suddenly disheartened in the face of such a result. But Yi Shunding really didn't want to say the last words he heard about Liu Kunyi's legacy, and he couldn't stand Liu Nengji's re-questioning, so he had to open his mouth in a low voice.

"Zhuang Shuai said, this, the sun and the moon have reopened......"

Yes, the sun and the moon are back open!

Yi Shunding shook his head, and when he walked out of the bedroom, he looked up at the sky and understood, but he felt relieved when his heart was heavy, and he said after a while.

"Zhuang is wrong, it's not that we chose the wrong one, but ...... We were all wrong! ”

Yes, everyone is wrong, ridiculously wrong, they always think that this imperial technique is nothing more than to choose the master and follow, and then promote the master, but they are all wrong, they are wrong here, they only see the emperor's "art", but do not see the "Tao", do not see the real right way in the world!

What is the right way on earth?

"Mountains and rivers are dying, and there is a land of China; The sun and the moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Reading this poem written on the recruitment banner erected by Emperor Hongwu here nearly 700 years ago, Yi Shunding understood what he was wrong about, and also understood where the teacher was wrong, and the mistake was that they didn't see a fact - Qing is Qing, Han is Han, Qing is not China, how can he be foolish and loyal.

"Zhuang Shuai!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Yi Shunding smiled bitterly.

"So you can't live up to this man's hands!"

Not only a Zhuang Shuai, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, they are one by one, they seem to have been up and down in the sea for so many years, and they seem to be extremely shrewd, but everything is lost to Tang Haoran's hands, who would have thought that all his life, but he made a wedding dress for that younger generation? Why is this so?

In fact, the truth couldn't be simpler, just because Tang Haoran knows better than all of them what is the right way in the world!

With such a composure in his heart, Yi Shunding silently walked out of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, disheartened, when he left the mansion, he saw the excited crowd outside the Governor's Mansion, at this time, he couldn't hear what these people were shouting, and he also didn't know what they were talking about, but he knew that perhaps, they were celebrating, celebrating the enthronement of the new emperor, celebrating the day when the sun and the moon reopened.
