Looking at the telegram in his hand, which was almost like a death notice, Yan Shao's heart was not very comfortable. Although Yuan Shikai used to be his biggest opponent, this does not mean that Yan Shao hates this person very much, in fact, if Yan Shao really hates him, Yuan Shikai will not be able to live past the age of sixty.

As for Xu Shichang or Feng Guozhang, even if they knew that Yan Shao killed them, would they still dare to avenge Yuan Shikai?

Maybe they are indeed a little loyal to Yuan Shikai, but if they are really so loyal to Yuan Shikai, they will not betray Yuan Shikai when Yuan Shikai is the emperor in the original history.

From a certain point of view, it was not Cai Ye who defeated Yuan Shikai, but Feng Guozhang and others.

Naturally, before saying this, we also need to consider the reasons for their betrayal of Yuan Shikai. Overall, their original betrayal is still very good for the country, but betrayal is betrayal, and no matter what the reason is, these cannot be changed.

So even if Yan Shao really killed Yuan Shikai, he didn't worry that Feng Guozhang would avenge Yuan Shikai at all―――――― at most he would fall into the well when Yan Shao was unlucky, but Yan Shao would never give them this opportunity...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

For Yuan Shikai, Yan Shao's feelings are very complicated. On the one hand, this man used to be Yan Shao's biggest opponent in China, but on the other hand, Yan Shao did not dislike him.

Because seriously, this man hasn't actually done anything bad for China. And even from a certain point of view. It is precisely because of this man's existence that there is no overly chaotic chaos in China after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. And even the situation of warlords fighting chaotically...

I remember that in the original history, it was because of Yuan Shikai's early death that the situation in the whole country suddenly became chaotic. In contrast, the period after the Second Revolution was the most stable period in China―――――― because at that time the opposition had basically been subdued, and even famous generals like Cai Ye were willing to play for Yuan Shikai.

If it weren't for Yuan Shikai's own stupid move...

If he hadn't chosen to be emperor, perhaps China would not have been as glorious as it is today. But at least it will not be bullied by foreign powers as it has been in history, especially in the years after Yuan Shikai's death.

It has to be said that for China in that period. He may not be the best leader, but he is definitely the most suitable leader, and he is also the only leader in China at that time.

What's more, in Yan Shao's view, being the emperor or something is not a historical regression at all. After all, the world of that era. There are countless imperial countries, such as England or Russia, for example, Germany is basically an imperial country, and even a funny country like Italy has a king who has a king.

Correspondingly, the cabinet system in France and the presidential system in the United States are not mainstream, so although Yan Shao does not support the imperial system, he does not feel that there is anything to oppose.

If you have to say it, Yan Shao hates Sun Yat-sen the most...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Are you already dead..."

Think so. Yan Shao sighed, then looked at Elanon.

"Send a telegram to Xiangcheng. In addition, we will prepare and set off for a memorial service......... Anyway, after all, it's an acquaintance..."

On the other side, hearing Yan Shao say this, Elaline also nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll arrange it later...", Elaline sighed slightly. But I really didn't expect that such a spiritual old man would suddenly disappear..."

"Yes..."patting Elaino's hand, Yan Shao walked to the side of the bed and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

At the same time, looking at Yan Shao's back, Elaline didn't say anything.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

As Yan Shao's pillow person, unlike others, Elaline knows Yan Shao's thoughts very well, and naturally knows his attitude towards Yuan Shikai.

As mentioned earlier, Yan Shao has no resentment towards Yuan Shikai, so the relationship between them is not particularly cold. Especially after Yuan Shikai has completely given up the idea of making a comeback, the relationship between Yan Shao and Yuan Shikai has greatly eased.

Later, Yan Shao would take time to visit Yuan Shikai's home at some times of the year, and once even invited Yuan Shikai to his home as a guest―――――― well, this home is actually the presidential palace.

In fact, it is also because of this relationship that Yuan Shikai can live in Xiangcheng, otherwise I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to live in the concession.

It's just that, as I said earlier, as a former dynasty, there will always be some buried. What's more, when the Beiyang government was on duty in Yuan Shikai, except for a little stabilization of the domestic situation, basically nothing good was done, and even led to the flood of white wolf bandits.

Well, there is also the dispatch of troops to Outer Mongolia, which can barely be regarded as led by the Beiyang government.

All in all, although Yan Shao has tried his best to let people help the Beiyang government wash the ground after considering those Beiyang people in the government, there are too many places to bury them, and they really can't be cleaned.

In addition, the Beiyang government has indeed not done too many good things, even if it wants to find some bright spots, it is difficult to come out, and there are many dark places. Moreover, although the Ministry of Education did have the final right to revise some textbooks published by the Ministry of Education during this period, the Ministry of Education did not interfere with the content of the textbooks most of the time.

As a result, the textbooks of this period were rarely interfered with.

So there is no need to say much about the rest of the things, how the Beiyang government is completely conceivable...

At least the Beiyang government in the classroom is definitely not a glorious image. And then as I said before, if it weren't for Yan Shao's invitation to Yuan Shikai, I'm afraid Yuan Shikai wouldn't even be able to live in his hometown Xiangcheng.

After all, it came later. Yan Shao's prestige is already very high, and as Yan Shao's former opponent, Yuan Shikai is undoubtedly standing on the opposite side. Plus for the Chinese people at that time. Yuan Shikai hasn't done a few good things, even if there are one or two things, such as sending troops to Outer Mongolia and the like, Yan Shao has to come out to help share some...

Pathetic, alas, alas...

By the time Yuan Shikai moved back to Xiangcheng, the first two years were nothing. Because although Yan Shao's reputation was much higher at that time, it had not yet reached its peak. But wait until another two years, that is, when Yan Shao's prestige reaches its peak. On the wall of Yuan Shikai's house, there are almost always some graffiti, and at the same time, the speed of changing the glass in their house is almost catching up with the Japanese Legation―――――― and the frequency is estimated to be higher than that of the Japanese.

In fact, it is precisely for this reason. That's why Yan Shao invited Yuan Shikai to come to the presidential palace. Otherwise, Yan Shao felt that it would not take a few years to die―――――― of course, Yuan Shikai didn't seem to survive until that time...

This happened because it was a time when compulsory education had some results. We all know very well that students, especially primary school students and junior high school students, are not afraid of heaven and earth, and basically dare to do anything―――――― Yan Shao used to play downhill when he was a child, and he almost fell to his death.

Normal. Definitely won't think like Yan Shao...

Similarly, students at that time were the most susceptible to demagoguery and incitement. At the same time, it is also easier to be gullible. In fact, the students at this time were the same, but students at that age were more likely to believe in some things, plus the Beiyang government was not glorious in China's history at all, and Yuan Shikai did not do anything glorious.

So if someone jumps out and says, "Teach the villain Yuan Shikai a lesson!" Something like that, it's definitely a crowd of followers...

This is indeed the case, at that time, many schools had organized manpower and decided to teach the 'big bad' Yuan Shikai a lesson.

Fortunately, Yuan Shikai was also the leader of the Beiyang family back then, and the defense force was extremely tight even after retreating, so it was just that the wall was graffiti, or stones were thrown or something...

In fact, elementary school students are probably only able to do this kind of thing, but as I said earlier, if you let those students grow into junior high school students in two years...

I'm afraid that someone will dare to come to the door with a knife or a gun, so Yan Shao invited Yuan Shikai to the presidential palace as a guest, just to let the world understand that the contradiction between Yan Shao and Yuan Shikai is not so big. This trick is also extremely effective, at least the locals in Xiangcheng have greatly reduced Yuan Shikai's first, and there are few students running to graffiti―――――― of course, this is mainly because Yan Shao personally found Cai Yuanpei, and then the Ministry of Education personally ordered it.

Otherwise, those students don't know these or whatever...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

When news of Yuan Shikai's death spread, it quickly caused a stir in China.

After all, no matter what, Yuan Shikai once served as the head of the country. Moreover, he used to be Yan Shao's biggest enemy in China, and now that such a person has died, it will naturally attract great attention.

This point, especially after Yan Shao personally went to Xiangcheng, detonated a hot spot.

All of a sudden, a large number of news media began to go to Xiangcheng, and at the same time, Yan Shao also took the train to Xiangcheng with Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang, who had just arrived from Shenyang, and walked slowly...

He was accompanied by Zhu Erdian, who is now the British ambassador.

As a close friend of Yuan Shikai, although in most cases Zhu Erdian is used to acting or speaking from the perspective of the British government, it has to be said that Zhu Erdian and Yuan Shikai are indeed a pair of friends.

Even when Yuan Shikai has gone into the wilderness, Zhu Erdian will still visit Yuan Shikai from time to time, of course, this frequency cannot be too high, after all, as the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian also has a lot of work to do, especially after the outbreak of the European War and the end of the war, China sent troops to annex most of the territory of Russia, Zhu Erdian's work has become more and more urgent because of this reason...

In fact, after China sent troops to Russia, it was also the most difficult period for Zhu Erdian to work in China, after all, China at that time already had a certain degree of resistance to Britain.

Zhu Erdian will choose to visit Yuan Shikai, and he also has the intention of using Yuan Shikai's power in it.

Regardless of whether Yuan Shikai has gone into the wilderness or not, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, Yuan Shikai had great influence on the then Guoshe government!

Because in the Guoshe government, there are many members of the Beiyang system, and these people are already loyal to Yan Shao. But in most cases, they would never mind doing Yuan Shikai some small favors...

Of course, the factor of friendship is still very large, but as a professional diplomat, Zhu Erdian will never give up any opportunity to earn benefits for his country...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Xiangcheng in Hebei is not very far from Beijing, at least when the train has been opened, so it didn't take long for Yan Shao and his party to arrive in Xiangcheng.

Then at Yuan Shikai's home in Xiangcheng, Yan Shao, Duan Qirui and others worshipped Yuan Shikai.

Naturally, while worshipping Yuan Shikai, Yan Shao also met Yuan Shikai's family. Maybe it's because of Yuan Shikai's relationship with the wilderness early, so the current Yuan family is not as beautiful as it used to be, naturally, and the family background is not as thick as in history...

Therefore, the arrangement of the mourning hall seems to be somewhat inconsistent with Yuan Shikai's identity.

Fortunately, Yuan Shikai still has some savings after all, so even if he is in the field, there is no problem for a rich man.

Merely...

glanced at Yuan Shikai's sons, and the sad look on his face may not be all because of his father's death, but also the issue of inheritance after his father's death...

"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be too many things on the government's side recently, so you just stay here and help Yuan Gong take care of the aftermath by the way..."Sighing, Yan Shao looked at Duan Qirui on the side and said softly.

After all, it was also a guest and host, and seeing that Yuan Shikai was so 'shabby' after his death, Duan Qirui was also a little unbearable. Hearing Yuan Shao say this, Duan Qirui nodded. "I will..."

Sighing again, Yan Shao came to Yuan Shikai's coffin. At this time, seeing Yan Shao coming over, Yuan Keding hurriedly got up.

Although because of Yan Shao's relationship, Yuan Shikai had to go into the wilderness and finally died as a rich man. But Yuan Keding didn't blame Yan Shao at all, to be exact, he didn't dare...

However, Yan Shao didn't let him get up, but patted his shoulder, signaled him not to do this first, and then walked to Yuan Shikai's coffin and bowed three times.

"Yuan Gong, go all the way..." (to be continued......)
