The tide of history finally rushed to this ancient land of 2,000 years of accumulated cultural heritage, and the last time, it was on that night four years ago, a gunshot rang out at the head of Wuchang City, and the republic swept away the decaying Qing Dynasty with an unstoppable momentum.

Overnight, the flag at the head of the city was changed, the braids were cut, and there was no more fighting, and everyone shouted the republic and read the good of the republic, but if he grabbed a person and asked him what a republic was, he would not be able to answer in the end.

It's like a gust of incomprehensible wind, blowing in a daze, and blowing away in a daze.

This time, after three years, the wave of Junxian swept in again.

At the beginning, with reference to Dongyi and Yingguo, the premise of the monarch is to have a king, if this "king" is designated as the one in the Forbidden City, it is to turn back the wheel of history, and it will be washed into the garbage heap by the torrent of history.

Then if you can't turn back history, and you want a monarch, you can only have a new monarch.

I thought that in this world, who else is there outside the old Yuan?

Of course, Lao Yuan's officialdom has been up and down for decades, and his mouth has always been very strict, and he will not easily reveal his true thoughts, all he has to do is to pretend not to know, and let the sensible people below handle it, and in the end, he was coerced by the "public opinion" to take the position, and he had to come up with a trick of three invitations and three resignations, and by the way, he faked a sentence: "I don't want to, but the health of China has to be like this." ”

As for the "sensible" people, there are mainly two parties, one is Yang Chengzan, and the other is Yuan Dagongzi.

Yang Chengzan is an idealistic, ambitious, talented person, is Wang Minyun's high apprentice, good at the art of the emperor, committed to the monarch to save the country, during his study in Dongyi, he once refused Mr. Yatsen's invitation to the alliance, and made an appointment: "My lord is a constitutional monarchy, I will succeed, I wish Mr. help me; Mr. called for national reform, Mr. Cheng, and should abandon his ideas to help Mr. Work national affairs, and don't interfere with each other today. ”

According to Yang Chengzan's observation, Lao Yuan is a very promising emperor star, so the two coincide, and the "Preparatory Security Council" came into being in this context.

When Yang Chengzan was working hard to "make the emperor", Yuan Dagongzi was not idle, he was more concerned than anyone else, just imagine, his old man became the emperor, according to the rules of hereditary replacement, he Yuan Dagongzi should be the prince who is not allowed to do so, can he not care?

For this reason, after hard thinking and meditation, Yuan Dagongzi made a long-term plan of "taking two breaths and following two steps", first of all, to cheer up his old man and strengthen his Taoist heart as an emperor.

Yuan Dagongzi knew that the old man liked to read the "Shuntian Times", so he paid for the printing himself, and the layout was modeled after the real "Shuntian Times" to publish a copycat of the "Shuntian Times", which was limited to one copy per issue, and all the articles published on it were written by Yuan Dagongzi who spent a lot of money to ask gunmen to write in favor of the restoration.

Lao Yuan really looked at it with a lot of joy, and he had to take the time to take a look at it every day.

Secondly, Yuan Dagongzi imitated Yang Chengzan's "Six Gentlemen of Preparation", and brought in seven people, including Liang Shiyi, Minister of Communications, to form an "emperor-making" organization known as the "Seven Murderers".

At the time, the "Seven Murderers" and the "Six Gentlemen of Chip'an" were collectively called the "Thirteen Taibao".

With the full cooperation of the "Thirteen Taibao", the "Emperor-making" movement is in full swing.

This punch came at an inopportune time, and unexpectedly, it was not the domestic opposition, but from the Dongyi country.

Isn't it incredible?

The situation visible to the naked eye is that Lao Yuan has become the emperor, and the north and the south must have to fight a big war, a China that fights every day, a China that is not united, and a China that has no heart for development, which is in line with Dongyi's vision, and there is no reason to oppose it.

However, Dongyi Kingdom just objected and took action.

In fact, for the matter of Lao Yuan becoming the emperor, the domestic part of Dongyi became two parties, one side agreed, and planned to secretly fund the south, and the result of the assumption was that the north and the south were inseparable and inseparable.

On the other hand, Lao Yuan is a "very dangerous" figure, with skill, ability, prestige, and military strength, if Lao Yuan really becomes the emperor and implements the monarch's constitution, it is possible to actually unify China, which is what Dongyi never wants to see.

Dongyi people's fear of Lao Yuan is not groundless, but Lao Yuan's punch and kick.

When Lao Yuan was young, he was stationed in Korea for 12 years, and his wit, courage, courage and resoluteness successfully smashed Dongyi's conspiracy against the DPRK.

At Pingjin Station, Lao Yuan trained the first modern army in China, and his fierce generals such as Yun, Lao Duan, Lao Feng, and Xu Shichang were all outstanding people.

And when Lao Yuan was young, he was still an out-and-out doer, an innovator, and a fanatical monarch.

In 1905, Lao Yuan, then the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, together with Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang and a group of local officials, petitioned the imperial court to stop the imperial examination, promote Western-style schools, cultivate Western-style talents, and actively promote the construction of education, and established many primary schools, junior high schools, and universities.

In the same year, Lao Yuan strongly recommended Zhan Tianyou to build the first railway in China - the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.

Lao Yuan established the first women's university in China, Pingjin Women's College.

The following year, Lao Yuan contacted a large number of people and began to strongly recommend the monarchical constitution, and obtained the consent of the old lady, but unfortunately the innovation was too great, and too many people's cakes were moved, and finally only got the verbal promise of nine years of delaying the monarchy.

In 1908, the old lady went west, and in less than 100 days, Lao Yuan wrote to Junxian again, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhidong's intercession, he almost lost his life, and scared Lao Yuan to Pingjin overnight.

......

The above only enumerates some of the results of Lao Yuan's advocacy of innovation, but it is enough to show that when Lao Yuan was young, he was indeed an ambitious, idealistic, and practical person.

For so many years, the Dongyi people have always listed Lao Yuan as a key object of observation, and even Lao Yuan's adviser and spy leader Sakanishi Rihachiro found that Lao Yuan was a complete anti-faction in his bones.

Therefore, after weighing the two phases, the Dongyi people still decided not to support Lao Yuan as the emperor, and when the Western powers were fighting each other and had no time for him to take care of the East, they were ready to wait for the opportunity to take advantage of another big advantage, which was a move to kill two birds with one stone.
