There are no secrets in the cabinet. No pop-up window update fast //

Not half an hour after Sun Yuanqi and others dismissed, the news of the resumption of Yuan Shikai had spread all over Beijing. After the princes and ministers and the children of the Eight Banners heard about it, they couldn't help but start complaining that Zaifeng was confused: three years ago, it was no longer time to let the tiger return to the mountain; Three years later, you shouldn't lead a wolf into the house!

A bunch of people complain and complain, but there are few who dare to report in front of Zaifeng. Zaifeng may not be able to cure Yixuan or Yuan Shikai, but it is more than enough to give these red and yellow ribbons eye medicine. Even if Zaifeng doesn't give them food and hangs, let Yixuan know that they will have to shed their skin if they don't die. Who wants to do such a thankless job? Anyway, the Qing Dynasty is not ours!

Others are unwilling to do it, it doesn't mean that no one is willing to do it, and at this juncture, there are really people who enter the palace to admonish Zaifeng. Who? Xiao Gong Wang Puwei.

Pu Wei is the grandson of the first Prince Gong, born in 1880, and inherited the title in 1898. Because Emperor Guangxu has no heirs, and the voice of abolishing the emperor after the Wuxu reform is endless, many of the royal family's close branches of the bloodline are ready to move, and the highest voice is Pu Lun, Pu Jun and this Xiao Gong Wang, who was known as the "third prince" at that time.

Let's talk about Pu Lun first.

Pu Lun is the grandson of Yiwei, the eldest son of Emperor Daoguang, but not his own grandson. It is said that when Yiwei was young, he studied with his teacher, and the children of the royal family were naturally unruly and did not listen carefully to the class. The teacher was also serious and responsible, so he persuaded him with good words: "Big brother, only by studying hard can you inherit the emperor in the future." ”

Yi Wei was not stunned, and replied directly: "Be the emperor? If I become the emperor, I will be the first to kill you! ”

was so angry that the teacher almost didn't get angry, and after he went back, he made a small report to Emperor Daoguang. "A teacher for one day, a father for life." Insulting the division commander is a big crime to disrupt the program, and Emperor Daoguang was furious and immediately sent someone to call Yiwei. Yiwei didn't know that he had caused a big disaster, and was just about to kneel down to say goodbye, when Emperor Daoguang kicked him over as soon as he cut off his grandson's leg.

In the past, Emperor Daoguang used this kung fu, and ten percent of the power could not be exerted by one percent, but that day the small universe exploded, ten percent of the power was used out of twelve percent, in the middle of the lower part, Yi Wei died in a few days! Yiwei is the son of Emperor Daoguang, and because he is young, he has no heirs. Daoguang's kick really made him cut off his own children and grandchildren.

After the incident, Emperor Daoguang was also remorseful, so he posthumously named Yiwei as the king of Yinzhi County, and also succeeded his cousin Mianyi's grandson Zaizhi to Yiwei, and finally did not let Yiwei die.

The son of Zaiji is Pu Lun. In 1875, the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun collapsed, and Pu Lun was expected to succeed to Dabao, but the result was blocked by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the success fell short. In the last years of Guangxu, the call for Pu Lun to ascend to the throne became increasingly loud and loud. However, people of insight know that Pu Lun is unlikely: the Empress Dowager Cixi has already formed a bond with Pu Lun before, how can she still make him emperor now? It's not that you can't find yourself happy!

Let's talk about Pu Jun. Pu Jun

He is the grandson of Emperor Daoguang's fifth son, Yicheng, but since his father Zaiyi, he was passed on to Emperor Xianfeng's cousin Ruimin County Wang Yizhi. Because Pu Jun's mother was the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Pu Jun was very favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi before and after the Wuxu Reform. On the 24th day of the 25th month of Guangxu, Cixi convened the princes and ministers to discuss and decided to establish Pu Jun as the "big brother" (crown prince), and it was scheduled that Emperor Guangxu would abdicate on New Year's Day next year, and Pu Jun would succeed him and change the yuan to "Baoqing". Because this move aroused strong opposition from various forces at home and abroad, it was forced to stop the abolition plan. Since then, Zai Yi and Pu Jun's father and son have been riddled with bad luck.

First, the Boxers made trouble, but Zai Yi believed in the Boxers, believing that the Boxers were "righteous people", not "chaotic people". When the incident subsided, Cixi decided that Zai Yi was the culprit of the Gengzi State Change, and not only deprived him of his title, but also assigned Xinjiang to Xinjiang. Later, Zai Yi connived at the Boxers and was convicted of his ancestors, and his son Pu Jun was convicted because his father was convicted, so he announced the abolition of the name of "Big Brother" and exiled to Xinjiang. The father and son then fled to Mongolia together and lived in the house of his wife and uncle in Alxa Banner, where they died in old age.

Two of the three candidates for the crown prince are already insulated from the throne, and Pu Wei, the only remaining fruitful, can be described as overjoyed. In the last years of Guangxu, before the Empress Dowager Cixi brought out Puyi, the internal and external princes and ministers generally believed that the current national crisis was suspicious, and an elderly heir should be selected to stabilize the situation. Pu Wei, who was born in 1880, is close to Emperor Guangxu in terms of blood relationship, and his age is also appropriate, so he is most valued by everyone.

Who knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi finally chose the 3-year-old Pu Yi to be the emperor. The little emperor's father, Zaifeng, was naturally wary of his biggest competitor, and only gave him the empty Red Banner Manchurian Metropolitan and Non-smoking Minister, and did not let him enter the center and participate in confidential matters. Pu Wei was indignant about this.

Resentful, it is inevitable that he will get sick for a long time, so he has to seek medical advice everywhere. The relatives of the clan laughed at him in private: "King Xiaogong's illness is hot, I'm afraid he has to get a pound of gypsum and eight taels of his mother." ”

The so-called "hot" is actually a pun. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Mandarin was similar to the present, and the eagerness to get some kind of benefit was called "hot zhong". At the same time, "hot zhong" is also the name of the disease in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to internal heat. Gypsum and Zhimu are both medicinal materials for the treatment of internal heat in traditional Chinese medicine. To use a pound of gypsum and know his mother, it shows how powerful Pu Wei's "heat" is!

But the man on the side retorted: "Where, where! If you want to cure King Xiaogong's illness, it is also simple, only one emperor and one country are enough! ”

For a time, it was a joke in the capital.

Although Pu Wei missed the emperor's throne, he still thought that the Qing Dynasty was his own. When he heard that Yuan Shikai was going to be used, he was immediately anxious, and he didn't care about being sick, so he immediately entered the palace to meet Zaifeng: "Uncle, I heard rumors that the imperial court wants to use Yuan Si?" ”

Yuan Shikai has a total of eight brothers and sisters, and he ranks fourth, so Pu Wei unceremoniously calls him "Yuan Si".

Zaifeng had just finished crying, and he was still very remorseful in his heart, but he said: "Yuan Shikai has a talent and a good reputation, so he ordered him to go south to supervise the division and quell the rebellion in Hubei." ”

Pu Wei said: "Yuan Shikai looks at the wolf Gu and has been planning for a long time, Jing Yueting (Jing Xing) thinks that he is 'Zhongda (Sima Yi) second', which can be described as a sentence. When he was dismissed and returned to his hometown, the government and the opposition applauded. Why do you want to lead the tiger to defend yourself now? ”

Zaifeng was silent for a long time before he said: "King Qing and Naqin Xuan have tried their best to protect it again and again, thinking that Yuan Shikai is still available. Moreover, the cabinet has already passed this bill, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to retract the order. ”

Pu Wei had no choice but to retreat: "Even if it is difficult to take back the fate, can you use loyal and brave ministers to restrain and carve up Yuan Si's forces?" ”

Zaifeng asked, "Then who can you send?" ”

Pu Wei suddenly became angry: "Uncle, you have served as a prisoner for three years, and the ministers are at ease." The little nephew has been recuperating at home all these years and is not in politics, how do you know who to send? ”

There was not only the intention of clarifying oneself, but also complaining and complaining, and he suddenly choked Zaifeng, and said for a long time: "The whole court and the middle are their people, how can I ever have minions and henchmen?" ”

"Uncle doesn't even have a usable person?" Pu Wei looked at Zaifeng with some disdain.

Zaifeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you think of Sun Baixi?" ”

Pu Wei frowned: "Sun Yuanqi? That Mr. Teaching? I only heard that he was very good at learning, and that foreigners and young students were very convinced of him, but I didn't know anything else. ”

Zaifeng was a little excited: "Then have you heard that who is he closer to in the officialdom?" ”

Pu Wei thought for a moment and replied, "It doesn't seem to be, right?" He had been hiding under the wing of Sun Wenzhenggong (Sun Jianai) before, although he had worked under Zhang Wenda Gong (Zhang Baixi) and Zhang Wenxiang Gong (Zhang Zhidong), but these three people had already died successively. Later, he was a person, and I didn't hear anyone who was close. ”

"And what about the Revolutionary Party?"

Pu Wei said: "There were rumors before that he had something to do with the revolutionary party. But it is true that he was thrown eggs by the revolutionary party when he was in Tokyo, Japan. In this way, the rumors should be deliberately spread and slandered, right? ”

"Right? The same goes for the news I got! Zaifeng stood up excitedly and walked around the room, "In general, Sun Baixi has no ambition or strength, and the key is that he does not belong to any party in the DPRK and China, and he is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty." For example, the last time the plague in the Northeast was shirking, others were trying to shirk and hesitate to move forward, but he was the only one who did what he was ordered to do, without half a word of complaint, hard work, and restraint. ”

"What did Uncle mention him for?" Pu Wei asked curiously.

Zaifeng also looked at him strangely: "Didn't you ask me to use loyal and brave ministers to restrain and carve up Yuan Shikai's forces?" ”

Pu Wei's eyes widened: "Then you are going to use Sun Yuanqi?" ”

"yes!" Zaifeng replied as a matter of course.

"Huh?" Pu Wei was shocked at the time, "As far as I know, Sun Yuanqi has never been in charge of military affairs and civil affairs, right?" How is he Yuan Si's opponent? must not be played by Yuan Si in the palm of his hand! ”

Zaifeng smiled proudly: "Although Sun Baixi does not have much power in the court, he has a very high reputation among the people, especially among young students, and is even praised as 'Western Scholar' and 'Saint of the World'. He served as an envoy in Hubei for nearly three years, and more than half of the schools in Hubei were founded by him, and young students grew up reading his writings. If he supervises Huguang, everyone dares to commit crimes and deceive teachers and destroy their ancestors? ”

Pu Wei's head was a little unresponsive: "Didn't the cabinet let Yuan Si serve as the governor of Huguang?" ”

Zaifeng sat down on the Taishi chair: "That's right, Yuan Shikai is the governor of Huguang. But now Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, has been expelled from the post of governor of Sichuan because of the trouble caused by the inferior gentry. was originally going to transfer Cen Chunxuan to take over, but after Cen Chunxuan arrived in Hubei, he began to call himself sick, refused to go to Sichuan, and asked him to go on a mission. When there is something going on in this country, it is really a crime to prevaricate and postpone and blackmail the imperial court. In this case, it is better to simply follow his request and let him return to his hometown! The post of governor of Sichuan was temporarily taken over by Sun Yuanqi, and all the water and land armies of Sichuan Province, as well as the reinforcements sent to Sichuan by various provinces, were temporarily dispatched by him, and then went down the river to suppress the Huguang rebellion with Yuan Shikai and others.

Of course, the Sichuan army was just bluffing and dispersing the rebels, and the main force that really suppressed it was the Beiyang New Army under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shikai. If it fails, there is just a reason to get rid of Yuan Shikai, and the Sichuan army can reap the benefits of the fisherman; If successful, Sun Yuanqi will serve as the governor of Huguang, and Yuan Shikai will return to Beijing to take over the post of minister of education vacated after Sun Yuanqi's departure. ”

Pu Wei's walnut-sized head, how could he think about such complex national affairs, he only felt extremely happy when he heard it, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "High!" Uncle's trick of vacating the cage and changing the bird is really high! ”

After listening to the praise of his political enemies, Zaifeng was also a little dizzy, and his bones were a few taels lighter, and he couldn't help laughing.

On October 14, 1911, the imperial court issued an order: "Decree to the Cabinet: The Governor of Huguang will make up for Yuan Shikai and supervise the suppression of the matter, so there is no need to come to Beijing to see His Majesty." The governor of Sichuan temporarily signed with Sun Yuanqi and supervised the suppression of the appeasement. All of them took up their posts quickly. Chin this! ”
