Two, three, three, a bleak night on the guillotine

isH

Wang Zhaoming is still too naΓ―ve, how can a major incident such as planting a bomb in the capital that endangers national security be turned into a big thing and a small thing? No matter how incompetent the government is, no matter how bad the officials are, they dare not joke about their political future. No pop-up window to update quickly//i

After the patrol officers discovered the explosives, they immediately called in Japanese technicians to dig up the bombs and organized elite soldiers to analyze the bombs. The criminal police of the Qing court were not stupid, and they were keenly aware that the craftsmanship of making iron boxes containing explosives was very crude, as if they were made improvised in the capital. Following this line of thought, they soon found the mark of Hongtaiyong Iron Shop on the iron box.

Wang Zhaoming and the others are laymen after all, and the so-called assassination plan, as long as they are carefully examined, there are flaws almost everywhere, not to mention that they had no intention of covering it up before this? When the patrol went to the blacksmith shop to ask, the boss found out from the account book that the iron box was ordered by the Shouzhen photo studio. In this way, Wang Zhaoming and Huang Fusheng were arrested in the photo studio, but fortunately, the other members of the assassination team had fled at this time.

As soon as Wang Zhaoming entered prison, he took the initiative to confess without waiting for the Qing court to use a tiger chair and pour chili pepper water, and wrote a confession of thousands of words in a free manner, with only one central idea: A constitutional monarchy is a moon in water, and if you want democracy, you can only rebel and push the old government.

The news of the capture of the revolutionary party attempting to assassinate the regent was quickly published in domestic and foreign newspapers, and it quickly became the focus of attention. Sun Yat-sen was raising money in the Americas at this time, and when he heard the news of Wang Zhaoming's arrest, he shouted "I hurt me" and his eyes turned black. After you woke up, he immediately ordered: "Zhaoming is arrested, like cutting off my arm." Ladies and gentlemen, you should cherish your talents for the country and try your best to rescue them! ”

Sun Yat-sen said that, in fact, what can he do? If he exchanged himself for Wang Zhaoming, the Qing government would consider it; Isn't it a pipe dream to want the court to release people when you move your mouth? There are many people in the alliance who don't deal with Sun Yat-sen, and they don't even have a good impression of this little white face, and although they don't gloat when they see him arrested, they really don't have much interest in rescuing.

The most anxious in the world, in addition to Wang Zhaoming's family, should count Chen Bijun: Yu Gong, the two are revolutionary comrades who participated in the assassination together; In private, Wang Zhaoming promised to drag her after he was released from prison. In both public and private, she should try her best to rescue. So Chen Bijun looked for help everywhere, but Wang Zhaoming was arrested by the highest authorities of the Qing court on charges of assassinating the regent of the dynasty, so how easy is it to rescue?

No one expected that after turning around, Chen Bijun actually found Sun Yuanqi.

As soon as they met, Chen Bijun put on the posture of Shen Baoxu crying Qin Ting, crying until the pear blossoms brought rain and the liver and intestines were broken - it's a pity that this pear blossom grew too much, which inevitably affected the effect of the performance.

Sun Yuanqi didn't know Chen Bijun before, and when he saw a woman enter the door, he howled and cried, and when she changed from wind and rain to light rain, he quickly asked: "Girl, why are you crying like this?" ”

Chen Bijun then remembered that after meeting, he neither reported his name nor said that he was ugly, so he cried happily. couldn't help but turn a little purple, and quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "My lord, this is a letter from Mr. Zhongshan to you." I hope you can look at Mr. Zhongshan's face and help him save Wang Zhaoming's life! ”

Wang Zhaoming's plot to assassinate the regent Zaifeng has been hyped in the newspapers recently, and Sun Yuanqi has also heard about it. But Sun Yat-sen asked himself to save Wang Zhaoming, what does this mean? Sun Yuanqi frowned and opened the envelope, he didn't even write his name on his head, and the content of the letter was also very vague, on the one hand, he thanked him for his care for a long time, and on the other hand, he hoped that Sun Yuanqi could try his best to help the girl holding the letter and solve the difficulties she encountered.

It seems that this kind of letter can be given not only to oneself, but to anyone. At the end of the letter, the word "Wen" was simply signed. Sun Yuanqi had never seen Sun Yat-sen's handwriting before, so he naturally couldn't be sure whether this letter was written by Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yuanqi pondered for a moment, packed the letter and handed it back to Chen Bijun, and then said, "I have read the letter, you can go." ”

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi did not promise, Chen Bijun cried again and wiped away tears, his face full of tears.

Sun Yuanqi ignored her, lowered his head and continued to read the magazine. Xindao: Wang Zhaoming poked a hole in the sky this time, I am just the left waiter of the school, and I am not a superman, how can I save him? Besides, what are you doing to save him, so that he will have the life to be a traitor in thirty years?

Chen Bijun saw that crying had no effect, so he simply knelt down in front of Sun Yuanqi and kowtowed, and blood was dripping on his forehead after a few clicks.

Sun Yuanqi couldn't, so he hurriedly went over to help Chen Bijun. Chen Bijun was crying while struggling to continue to kneel for Sun Yuanqi. The two hugged and tangled.

As a teacher and a civil servant, I have always paid the most attention to my image. Pulling and pulling with a woman in the office, what is this like? The key is that this woman is still crying, what will others think when they see it? It's really unseemly! In order to stabilize the situation, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "I know about this." Specifically, we can only do our best to ensure the destiny of heaven. ”

Chen Bijun held back his tears, his face was full of gratitude, and he blessed Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuanqi sighed secretly: Gu Liang, if you don't look good, don't learn from others to be coquettish and cute!

In fact, Sun Yuanqi really wanted to meet this famous traitor in modern times. In the past, there were rumors on the Internet that the famous economist Professor Mao was Wang Zhaoming's third son, and countless photos were listed as evidence. Professor Mao often appears on TV, and his appearance Sun Yuanqi has seen it with his own eyes; As for what Wang Zhaoming looks like, he can only get a glimpse of his style from the photos. Photos are inevitably distorted, and now that you have the opportunity to verify them with your own eyes, how can you easily miss them?

It is indeed a bit difficult for the squire to save a death row inmate; But if it's just to see, it's undoubtedly easy. One evening, Sun Yuanqi passed through the heavy guards and came to the prison to visit the legendary figure. There was still some distance from the prison cell, when I heard a young man chant loudly in Mandarin with a slight taste of Cantonese:

"Generous Geyan City, calmly as a prisoner of Chu.

Lead the knife into a fast, live up to the boy's head. ”

A few of the officers who accompanied Sun Yuanqi to visit the prison said a little stupidly: "This death row prisoner has eaten and drunk enough, and he has begun to sour water again!" ”

The poem that Wang Zhaoming just chanted is one of the poems in his group of poems "Caught and Occupied", and it is also the most famous and widely praised in this group of poems. After his rebellion, many people moved a little article on this poem, sneering at Wang Zhaoming. Like what:

At that time, he was generous and Geyan City, and he was also a prisoner of Chu.

If you don't hate to draw a knife into a fast, you will eventually be ashamed to live up to the young man's head.

Another example is to add the names of famous traitors such as Shi Jingjiao, Qin Hui, and Wu Sangui, and it becomes:

Jing Jiao generously Geyan City, Qin Hui calmly became a prisoner of Chu.

The knife is broken into a fast, and it does not live up to the head of the Sangui boy.

It's just that I don't know if Chairman Wang Zhaoming regretted writing this poem at that time?

The servants walked to the front of the cell, but regardless of whether Wang Zhaoming was poetic or not, he knocked on the iron fence with a loud bang: "Death row prisoner, be honest, a big man has come to see you!" ”

Wang Zhaoming glanced at Sun Yuanqi, who was surrounded by everyone, and was a little disdainful: "Manchu dog Tartar, what is there to look at uncle?" Haven't you seen my big man with iron blood? Let me tell you, the revolutionary righteous will not be killed, and you Tartars will soon die! Hahahaha. He burst out laughing.

In his opinion, those who can become high-ranking officials at such a young age as Sun Yuanqi can only be Manchu nobles such as Zaifeng, Zaitao, and Zaixun. Sun Yuanqi didn't bother to refute. The servants jumped like thunder: "The Qing Dynasty will not lose the country for thousands of generations!" But you, a death row inmate, I'm afraid you won't be alive in a few days, right? Catch Ming'er to push you to the entrance of the vegetable market, tie you to the shelf and cut it slowly with a knife, first your hands and feet, then your face, and finally your body, cut 1,200 knives a day, for three days and three nights, so that you can't survive and die. When you saw that time, you still couldn't laugh! Draw the knife into a fast? Phew! You think beautifully, and when the time comes, let you become 3,600 yuan, see if you are still happy? ”

Wang Zhaoming was indeed frightened by this way of dying. He stopped talking, just glaring at the people outside the prison.

Sun Yuanqi glanced around the cell and found that the conditions were not too bad, and Wang Zhaoming was also very energetic, and obviously he was not mistreated. With the lantern raised by the officer, you can roughly see his facial features, and there are two things that can be confirmed: first, Wang Zhaoming really deserves to be a beautiful man; Second, the rumor on the Internet is that there is no wind and no waves.

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi had not spoken, Wang Zhaoming couldn't help it. He said solemnly: "You don't need to persuade more! I have said all that I can say; If you can't say it, even if you kill me, I won't say it! ”

Sun Yuanqi was stunned: "I didn't plan to persuade you!" I was just curious, so I came over and had a look. ”

Wang Zhaoming was speechless: This is too out of the box!

Sun Yuanqi finally asked, "What other wishes does Mr. Wang have to fulfill?" ”

Although I thought about death before, I didn't think that someone who came here directly sentenced me to death. When Wang Zhaoming heard this question, he suddenly fell into a nine-mile abyss, and his mind went blank. After waking up, the first thought that came to my mind was: just agree at that time! As for agreeing to retreat with everyone, or agreeing to Chen Bijun's self-recommended pillow, he couldn't tell.

After a long time, Wang Zhaoming cheered up and said loudly: "Wang has only one wish that has not been fulfilled, that is, he has not been able to see with his own eyes the expulsion of the Tatars and the restoration of China!" ”

Sun Yuanqi didn't want to stay here too long, so he went straight after listening.

Naturally, Sun Yuanqi would not have a hot head, and asked the court to treat Wang Zhaoming leniently and lightly. At that time, it was Shanqi, Prince Shangshusu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs,β€”β€” but unfortunately Shanqi was killed by Wu Yue three or four years ago, and now the grave should be covered with moss - he hopes to use this to ease people's hearts, so Wang Zhaoming and Huang Fusheng were only sentenced to life imprisonment.

But Sun Yuanqi is not a good old man. In addition to being a Manchurian with strong roots, Shanqi is also the king of iron hats, no matter what he says wrong, it belongs to the internal contradictions of the people, and Zaifeng will not do anything to him. Sun Yuanqi is different, Han Chinese, returnees, if he eases Wang Jingwei's cheeks, it is very likely to rise to the contradiction between the enemy and me: "As an official of the imperial court, he actually stood out for the revolutionary party that planned to assassinate the regent, what kind of heartfelt is it?" ”

There is only one Shanqi, and when no one asked for leniency, Wang Zhaoming was quickly sentenced to a summary decision, pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market, and "led the knife into a fast". No, the head is different, it should be counted as two pieces.

Hearing the news, Sun Yuanqi silently thought in his heart: Chairman Wang Zhaoming, I have not only fulfilled your first fame, but also avoided the second generation of your family from producing three notorious traitors, right? You don't have to thank me too much, just go all the way!

Although Wang Zhaoming was dead, his assassination was unsuccessful, but it made the royal family and nobles tremble:

A few years ago, the revolutionary Wu Yue committed violence at the Qianmen Railway Station, and Prince Su Shanqi and Fuguo Gong Zaize were killed on the spot;

At present, the revolutionaries have set their sights on the Minister of the Navy Zaixun, the Minister of the Military Advisory Office Zai Tao, Prince Qing Yixuan, and the regent Zaifeng, if it were not for the blessing of the ancestors and the ancestors, the lives of several masters would have been taken by the chaotic party!

As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves." "Who knows who will be the next target of the rebels? In line with the principle of caution, the princes and ministers must be on high guard when they go out during the day, and they will quickly curl up back into the palace when the sun sets, and they will no longer dare to go outside at night to drink and sing, sleep in flowers and willows. The Qing Dynasty stipulated that Han officials sat in sedan chairs and military generals rode horses; However, the Manchurians, regardless of civil and military affairs, have to ride horses, and they cannot sit in a sedan chair unless they are specially purposed. In order to avoid being targeted for riding horses, the princes and ministers did not even dare to ride horses.

Zaifeng, who was one of the parties involved, had a chill down his spine: if the patrol hadn't found out, wouldn't he have been blown into powder when he went to the morning court the next day? When I think about this, I can't stop worrying.

Corresponding to the actions of the revolutionary party, the constitutionalists also made a stir again. Five months after the failure of the first petition, members of the Petition Comrades Congress made a comeback, justified that in order to avoid a violent revolution, a constitution must be enacted as soon as possible.

There were 10 groups participating in the petition alone, including the provincial advisory bureaus, the provincial chambers of commerce, the Suzhou and Shanghai chambers of commerce, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the 26 ports of Nanyang, the overseas Chinese in Australia, the provincial education associations, the Jiangsu Education Association, the political organizations of the provinces, the gentry and banner families of the provinces, and the gentry of the three eastern provinces, who respectively submitted petitions to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on behalf of agriculture, industry, commerce, and academia, hoping to open a parliament as soon as possible.

The imperial court, of course, refused again, and their reasons were sufficient:

First, Congress is only a body involved in legislation, and it is not as important as everyone thinks. There are thousands of things to do with a constitutional monarchy, which one is not important? Which one can be ignored? We have to take our time step by step and not be in a hurry.

Second, in September this year, we will first convene the Parliamentary Council, which is also very important because it is not only the foundation for the opening of the Diet, but also the cultivation of people's understanding of the Diet. You can go to the Senior Administrator's House to play first, and when you are done, we will play Congress.

Third, the nine-year plan for the opening of the National Assembly has been drawn up and is now being implemented very well, fully proving the feasibility and scientific nature of the plan. We must not change the order overnight, but under the glorious guidance of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, we must firmly adhere to the nine-year plan and not relax.

In short, the opening of the National Assembly is a matter of great importance, and it must be conscientiously implemented, comprehensively implemented, and gradually promoted. You people just wait in peace, and don't keep causing trouble for the government.

In this way, the second congressional petition failed. But if you think that everyone should stop for a while, you are very wrong! The National Assembly then decided to hold a third general petition, which was tentatively scheduled for February next year, and after everyone returned, they should widely mobilize all sectors of agriculture, industry, commerce, and academia to sign the petition, and each province should have at least one million signatures.
