As the saying goes: "Looking at the mountain runs a dead horse." No pop-up window update fast // "What's more, it's a dangerous Shu road in the world?" It took Sun Yuanqi five days to come to Mianzhou (now Mianyang), which is more than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu, and although there were some mistakes in the eagerness of the prefectures and counties, the fundamental reason was that Sun Yuanqi did not want to arrive in Chengdu too early and openly broke with the Qing court.

Sun Yuanqi's idea was to "quietly enter the village, don't shoot guns", and secretly hooked up with the revolutionary party, but on the surface he was still the minister of education of the imperial court and the acting governor of Sichuan. After a month of Dr. Sun returning to China and reaching an agreement with Yuan Shikai, the Qing court took a back seat, and it was not too late for him to jump out again. So if you can stay on the road for one more day, you will have one less day of acting in Chengdu.

When he arrived in Mianzhou, the terrain had gradually flattened, and Sun Yuanqi turned back to Yang Du and said, "Huizi, you ordered someone to find some recent newspapers for me to see." Since he came out of Hanzhong, there has been no news for more than ten days, as if he was in another world, and I don't know if Yuan Weiting has beaten the Yangtze River. ”

Yang Du arched his hand and replied, "Okay, I'll order someone to buy it." ”

A moment later, Yang Du came over with a large stack of newspapers. Sun Yuanqi flipped through a few sheets, and was a little strange: "Huizi, why are these newspapers five or six days ago?" Haven't you had the last few days? ”

Yang Du shook his head: "No!" Newspapers such as "Declaration" and "Zilin Xibao" were printed in Shanghai, and then sent to Chengdu by Jianglun, and then sold to all parts of Shuzhong. Now that the war in Hubei is raging, and now Sichuan is also in chaos, the road between Mianzhou and Chengdu has long been broken, how can there be a recent newspaper? ”

Sun Yuanqi thought about it, and said: "Mianzhou is close to Chengdu, and now that the telegraph and radio are so developed, there should always be some news, right?" ”

Yang Du slapped his fan a few times with some sneer: "I was looking for a newspaper just now, and I actually forgot about this stubble." ”

Sun Yuanqi laughed: "Yang Xianzi, who is considered to have no last resort, actually has a time when he cares about one or the other? ”

Yang Du also snorted: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake!" Then I'll inquire about it now. ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "If you go out, by the way, send a telegram to Zhao Jingxing and Yan Xishan, see where they are, and ask if there are any difficulties by the way, and if I want to communicate with the Shaanxi local area again." ”

Yang Du hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid that they have entered the Shu Dao now." Shu Road is steep. The population is barren, even if we send a telegram, they probably won't be able to collect it, right? ”

"Then ask the Shaanxi region to see when they entered the mountains."

In desperation. Yang Du had no choice but to shut up and go out to find out the news.

Not long after Yang Du left, a visitor from outside the Mianzhou Mansion where Sun Yuanqi temporarily lived walked straight to the courtyard. The soldiers guarding the gate immediately raised their guns and shouted, "Stop! What for? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with a lost smile: "My surname is Yang, and I want to meet the governor Sun." ”

The doorman rolled his eyes: Is the surname Yang very good? Now that Mianzhou wants to meet Lord Sun's sea, he can line up from the government office to the outside of the city gate, but who dares to break in directly?

The man saw that the doorman ignored him. I had to explain: "I am the messenger of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Lord Yuan, and I want to meet the Governor Sun. ”

The doorman looked at him for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "What about the post?" ”

"Uh......" The man was stunned, then took out a piece of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the doorman's hand, "I forgot to bring it, and I hope to be accommodating." All you have to do is say 'thank you for the $50,000,000,' and he'll meet me!" ”

The doorman pinched the silver in his hand before nodding slightly: "You are waiting here." I'll go to the house to report. As for whether Lord Sun can't see you, it's up to you to create! ”

Sun Yuanqi was flipping through an expired newspaper when he heard the doorman say that someone claimed to be a messenger from "Prime Minister Yuan". "Thank you for the 50,000 US dollars that year", but I didn't feel a move in my heart, and hurriedly asked people to bring him in.

The person who came was a little old man around fifty years old, and when he saw Sun Yuanqi, he didn't bow down, but only bowed slightly: "In Xia Yang Shiqi, the word Xingcheng, on the order of the Prime Minister Yuan, came to visit Lord Sun." ”

The Jianghuai dialect made Sun Yuanqi secretly feel a little good, and he didn't bother to ask Yuan Shikai about the recent battle situation, and said first: "Xingweng." You're also from the Jianghuai area, right? ”

Yang Shiqi nodded: "My lord is smart, and he is from Sizhou, Anhui Province." ”

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly got up: "My uncle and grandfather Sun Wenzheng are from Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Anhui Province, and I am from Huai'an Mansion, Jiangsu, and your hometown is just between Fengyang and Huai'an. In this way, we are still neighbors! ”

Yang Shiqi pretended to have a frightened expression: "Gong Wen Zhenggong is an emperor and a scholar, and your lord is a governor and cabinet minister. How dare Yang climb high? ”

After greetings, Sun Yuanqi asked, "Xingweng, where did you come from?" When did Lord Yuan become the prime minister of the cabinet? How is the war in Wuhan now? I just came from Qinling, and I haven't heard from me these days, so I can only rely on flipping through these outdated newspapers to get some news. ”

Yang Shiqi said: "My lord, I went up the river from Hankou five days ago, that is, on the evening of November 5th. A few days ago, Lord Yuan had already supervised the recovery of the two towns of Hanyang and Hankou, and looked across the river from the revolutionary party. Because of the incident in the north, King Qing announced the resignation of the cabinet, and the imperial court appointed Yuan as the prime minister of the cabinet three days ago. ”

Sun Yuanqi's heart fell to the ground slightly: he finally didn't let the revolutionary party fail because of his butterfly. Then he asked, "What happened in the north?" Which provinces have declared independence? ”

Yang Shiqi secretly glanced at Sun Yuanqi out of the corner of his eyes before replying: "In the past few days, first Shaanxi and Shanxi declared independence, and then the 20th town of Luanzhou and the 2nd Mixed Association held a military admonition, and then the sixth town stationed in Shijiazhuang raised an uprising, and the new army of Shanxi formed a Yanjin coalition army to move north, and has now arrived in the Baoding area, echoing the north and south of the Luanzhou garrison. The Beijing division was in chaos, Jiang Hanqing was ordered to lead the Yi army into the city for martial law, and Lord Yuan was also ready to lead the army north along the Luhan line. ”

Sun Yuanqi was surprised and exclaimed: This is really "seven days in the mountains, and a thousand years in the world"! He immediately cared about his own affairs, and hurriedly asked: "Then the Jingshi is chaotic, has Xing Weng heard about Jingshi University?" Also, Shaanxi and Shanxi declared independence, so did our 44th Mixed Association suffer any impact? ”

Yang Shiqi was even more stunned, and couldn't help but carefully examine Sun Yuanqi's expression, but did not find anything abnormal. I was a little hesitant at the moment, and I didn't know how to answer Sun Yuanqi's question.

Seeing that Yang Shiqi wanted to speak, Sun Yuanqi's careful liver began to jump wildly, his voice was a little dry, and he stood up and asked, "Xingweng, it's okay for you to say." ”

He'll have to know sooner or later anyway! Yang Shiqi gritted his heart and said: "I haven't heard anything about Jingshi University, but the 44th Mixed Association under the command of your lord has already raised uprisings in Shaanxi and Shanxi five days ago and established a military government, and your students Zhao Xingzhi and Yan Baichuan each served as governors. ”

"Ahh Sun Yuanqi was stunned.

"In addition, Cheng Ziyin led the first part of the Shanxi New Army and Wu Suiqing's sixth town to form the Yanjin Coalition Army, and served as the deputy commander of the coalition army." Yang Shiqi seemed to think that the revelation just now was not fierce enough, and took another dose of fierce medicine.

Sun Yuanqi sat back on the Taishi chair, and there was a strange thought in his head: The governor of the Shaanxi Military Government carried a bag for me, the deputy commander of the Yanjin Coalition Army stood guard for me, and the governor of the Shanxi Military Government brought me tea, it turns out that I am so bullish! It's just that the little guys and security guards around me all have the aura of a king, why haven't they found out before?

But、But、No matter how domineering you are, you have to consider my feelings, right? In particular, Jingshi University is located near the capital, and it is also my life's work and your place of study! What's more, your teachers, sisters, juniors, and juniors are still in school?

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but look gloomy, and the figures of Vera, Nianzu, Nianxuan, Zhao Jinghui and others quickly flashed in his mind.

In ancient times, many heroes wanted to play the trick of "breaking off righteousness", such as when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was defeated in Pengcheng, in order to reduce weight when escaping, he directly kicked his two children out of the car. Xiahou Ying couldn't bear it, so she stopped and picked up the two children in the car, but Liu Bang kicked it again. After repeating this several times, Liu Bang was furious, and even wanted to draw his sword to kill Xiahou Ying!

Another example is Liu Bei, every time he loses a battle, he patronizes himself and flees for his life, leaving his wife and children aside, causing Guan Yu to ride alone for thousands of miles, and Zhao Yun to fight a bloody battle on Changbanpo. In order to show how much he attaches importance to talents, he also used his own son as a prop, and directly threw out a mentally handicapped heir who ruined his family and country. ——From this point of view, Liu Bei is really Liu Bang's descendant.

For such a character, Sun Yuanqi has always been very unimpressed. The ancients said: "The old and the old, and the old of the people; The young of me, and the young of man. Youyun: "No one loves his son, and he doesn't love his body." "You don't even care about your own wife and children, and you think about other people's lives as light as a feather. What else is important in your life? Br? Landscape? Fame? Wealth? Therefore, while people are hyping up the six martyrs of Taizu in this dynasty, should they also reflect on whether this is related to Taizu's liking to engage in nest fighting, line struggle, and class revolution?

After a long time, Sun Yuanqi asked astringently: "Xingweng, has the court dealt with me?" ”

Yang Shiqi shook his head: "That's not true!" Zhao Jingxing and Yan Xishan acted righteously, it was their own business, the adults were just negligent, how could the imperial court punish a cabinet minister for such a trivial matter? ”

Sun Yuanqi smiled bitterly: "Isn't there still a saying about Zhulian?" And now that Prince Qing's cabinet has collectively resigned, where am I still a cabinet minister? ”

Yang Shiqi's eyes widened: "What, doesn't Lord Sun know yet?" In Yuan's cabinet list, you are still the Minister of Studies! (To be continued.) )
