At the door of the Strong Martial Arts Society, there was a pretty little student.

She is tall and beautiful, but she dresses up as a boy.

At this time, he smiled like a flower and looked at everyone in the courtyard.

Wang Wu couldn't help but show surprise: "Brother Jiujin! You...... Have you also returned to the capital? ”

Jiujin said with a smile: "Yes, I just came back today, the young master went to see Mr. Kang, let me come over first, and bring wine to the fifth master." ”

She shook the wine jar in her hand and said with a smile: "This is specially brought back by the young master from Hunan, and he said that he wanted to taste it for the fifth master." ”

Wang Wu immediately felt respected, full of joy, and said, "Brother Tan is too polite, Zongsheng, go and get the wine." ”

The young man who greeted Feng Ji and the others immediately ran over and said happily: "Brother Jiujin, you came just in time, today the president of our Jinmen is also here, and there will be a big dinner in the evening." ”

When Jiujin heard this, he smiled like a flower: "Haha, then I came by coincidence, who is the president of your Jinmen?" I've heard the fifth master mention this hero for a long time, and I haven't seen nine catties yet. ”

She turned her head to look at the people around her, and when she saw Feng Ji and Zhao Jian, she was stunned.

Feng Ji smiled at her: "Brother Jiujin, I think I'm a hero, I'm afraid you don't want to see it." ”

Jiujin was suddenly embarrassed and said: "It turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to be the president of the Strong Martial Arts Association." ”

"You know?" Wang Wu was surprised and hurriedly asked.

Feng Ji smiled: "I met Brother Tan and Brother Jiujin on the train, and we didn't have a good chat. ”

Wang Wu was stunned: "Brother Tan is bold, righteous and thin, no worse than the heroes of the rivers and lakes, how can you not talk happily?" ”

"Political views are different."

Wang Wu was puzzled again, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, don't you want to reform and change?" In the current situation in the world, only change can get out of the predicament! ”

Feng Ji smiled and asked, "Fifth brother, who are you referring to when you get out of the predicament?" ”

"China, of course!"

Feng Ji clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Well said, I also want to change, I want to make China stronger and get out of the predicament, but the way is not only to reform and change the law." ”

"Brother Tan, what they want is for the Qing Dynasty to get out of the predicament, which is different from what we want."

"Uh...... Is there any difference? ”

"Yes! The Manchu Qing Dynasty can't represent the people or China now! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and everyone was shocked and shocked.

Jiujin's face also changed slightly, but for some reason, she sincerely admired the person in front of her.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is heavy, he even dares to say such a thing, it is really bold!

But she vaguely felt that what he said made sense.

She and the young master have traveled all the way from Hunan, and they have seen too many rebels and too many rebellions.

The young master is a scholar, so he naturally stands in the perspective of the court and criticizes the rebellious people.

But she didn't read much, but she understood a truth, if the people really couldn't live, who would want to rebel.

Today, Feng Ji's sentence that the Qing Dynasty could not represent the people made her heart shake, and she felt quite reasonable when she thought about it carefully.

Wang Wu was also stunned on the spot, opening his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

He is not a scholar, but he has the righteousness of his family and country in his heart.

If you ask him what his impression of the Qing court is, of course he doesn't have a good impression.

His broadsword team, the Black Flag Army he belonged to, were all disbanded by the Qing court.

General Liu Yongfu was even sent to Annam to fight for other countries.

Of course, he hated the Qing court and the officials.

But when he met Tan Sitong, he sometimes felt that there were also good officials among the officials.

Brother Tan, Kang Youwei, Yuan Shikai, these are all good officials who think about this country.

But Feng Ji's words today made him suddenly feel contradictory.

Yes, they want to save the country, and it seems that they are saving the Qing court.

They didn't say that they wanted to save the people, so why did they have to save the Qing court in order to save the country?

Wang Wu was confused.

Seeing that the atmosphere was serious, Jiujin hurriedly interrupted: "Hey, hey, you, let's get together with old friends today, drink and be nostalgic, why are you talking about national affairs again?" ”

"If you're like that, how can you make friends? Isn't it, Fifth Master? ”

Wang Wu reacted, also smiled, and said: "Today, friends get together, don't talk about state affairs, brother, give me face." ”

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Political opinions are political opinions, and friendship is friendship, I can tell the difference." ”

He turned to look at Jiujin and said with a smile: "Brother Jiujin's lesson is that I think you are more suitable to be friends than your young master." ”

Jiujin was praised by him like this, and suddenly his white jade-like face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "Where and where, how can I compare with the young master, our young master is unparalleled in love, and he has the world in mind, I am just a little gangster who doesn't learn and has no skills, haha, don't you talk about this, fifth master, didn't you say please eat?" ”

Wang Wu suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, today I invite, let's go to the Drunken Wind Building together." ”

……

Drunken Wind Building, everyone drank and talked happily.

Nine catties is really worthy of her name, the amount of alcohol is really good, and it is estimated that she can really drink nine catties.

The martial artists have strong qi and blood, strong physique, and the entrance of wine, it is indeed difficult to paralyze them.

Therefore, everyone present, except for the young Zuo Zongsheng, everyone else can drink.

"Jiujin, I haven't seen Brother Tan and you for half a year, what are you doing?"

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Wu asked with a smile.

Jiujin's cheeks were red and beautiful, but he pretended to be a man and said: "Fifth master, I went back to my hometown in Hunan with the young master, and the young master has worked hard for half a year to write a masterpiece "Renxue", advocating the way of changing the law, and has already shown it to the emperor. ”

"The emperor greatly appreciates the young master, so he specially asked the young master to come to the capital, I am afraid it is related to the change of the law, and I don't know the specific things."

"Does the emperor really want to change the law?" Wang Wu asked in surprise.

"It's just that I have this idea, you have to ask the young master for the specific situation, I'm just a subordinate, how can I know this." Jiujin said helplessly.

Feng Ji couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he heard this.

Jiujin seemed to have been paying attention to Feng Ji, and when he shook his head, he immediately asked curiously: "Brother Feng, you don't seem to think about the change of law?" ”

Feng Ji sighed: "You think about the situation in the imperial court too simply. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Wu, Zhao Jian, Yan Si and others also turned their eyes one after another.

Feng Ji smiled, and seemed to talk more because of the wine.

"Of course, changing the law is a good thing, but it depends on whom."

"Brother Tan, they want to learn from the West, take the constitutional monarchy as the foundation, and change the law."

"But do you know what a constitutional monarchy is?"

Almost all the people present were martial artists, who would know about this kind of thing.

is nine catties, and it is impossible to understand what a constitutional monarchy is.

Don't say it's her, even Tan Sitong and Kang Youwei don't know enough about the constitutional monarchy.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to propose this set of changes at home.

They just copy the Western system, thinking that this will change the status quo in China.

As everyone knows, the British constitutional monarchy also has its special background, which is different from the current situation of the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Ji glanced at everyone's puzzled eyes, and said helplessly: "The so-called constitutional monarchy is a state system relative to absolute monarchy, which is to establish people's sovereignty, limit the power of the monarchy, and realize the republican ideal of affairs without adopting a republican form of government under the premise of retaining the monarchy. ”

When he said this, everyone was stunned again.

I can understand every word, but when it is connected, I don't understand it at all.

Feng Ji thought for a while, and said in a different way: "To put it bluntly, it is to limit the emperor's rights and delegate the rights. After that, the emperor was unified but not governed, and he had no great power. ”

These words were straightforward enough for everyone present to understand.

As soon as Feng Ji finished speaking, Zhao Jian couldn't help but say, "Then the emperor can be happy?" ”

Jiujin and Wang Wu can't understand either.

"The emperor has no right in his hands, so is he still called the emperor? What emperor would be happy to do that? ”

"No emperor can agree to this method, right?"

Jiujin suddenly said: "No, then why did our emperor agree to change the law?" I listened to the young master's meaning, and the emperor seemed to approve of the changes they said. ”

Wang Wu couldn't help but say: "If the emperor can really agree, then he is really a famous monarch through the ages." ”

The imperial power is decentralized, unified but not governed, which emperor in power can do it?

Feng Ji smiled: "Let me ask you, if you have 10 million silver, will you donate it to the people?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Wu said directly: "If you don't bring it in life, if you don't bring it in death, what year and month will it take to spend 10 million taels?" It is better to use it from a strong country. ”

Zhao Jian also laughed and said, "I will too, only 10 million." ”

Feng Ji suddenly smiled and said, "Then if you have ten taels of silver on you, are you willing to end this meal?" ”

Zhao Jian glared: "The fifth brother who said yes is a treat." ”

Jiujin also hurriedly said: "I have only five taels on me, and the young master still rewarded me, don't look at me." ”

Feng Ji suddenly laughed: "Look, I said 10 million taels, and you can all say donate without hesitation, but ten taels of silver, everyone has to excuse yourself, what is the reason?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, Jiujin reacted the fastest, and said with a smile: "Naturally, everyone doesn't have 10 million taels, just talk about it, anyone can do it, if you want to say ten taels of silver, everyone here can take it out, of course everyone has to weigh it." ”

Feng Ji gave her a thumbs up with a smile and said with a smile: "Nine catties of talent and intelligence, you can understand it at all." ”

"Then in the same way, if our emperor is really in power, will he agree to change the law?"

"But now he's agreeing." Jiujin asked.

Feng Ji smiled and said nothing.

Wang Wu had already understood at this time, his face was gloomy, and he said, "That's because the current emperor has no power and no power!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and immediately thought of it.

Today, the Empress Dowager of the West is listening to the government, the emperor is just a puppet, he has no power in his hands, whether he changes or not, of course he can see it.

Feng Ji smiled and said: "The imperial power is not in the hands of the emperor now, Brother Tan and others are actively advocating changing the law and weakening the imperial power, you say, who is the most anxious?" ”

"Queen Mother West!"

Wang Wu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, so it is useless for them to change the law and get the emperor's consent, on the contrary, they will only cause death."

"The day of the reform is the time when danger comes."

Bang Dang~!

Jiujin's face turned pale, the wine glass in his hand fell, his lips trembled, and he looked at Feng Ji: "Feng ...... Brother Feng, you ...... Are you telling the truth? Young Master, they ...... Will there be a fatal disaster? ”

Feng Ji took a sip of wine: "You go back and ask him, and you'll know." ”

Wang Wu sighed, drank a full cup, and sighed: "Brother Tan, he ...... Won't back down. ”

Jiujin's eyes were slightly red, and he said eagerly: "Brother Feng, Fifth Master, is there a way to save the young master?" ”

"Leave Jingshi, don't get involved in these things." Feng Ji gave suggestions directly.

He really wanted to save Tan Sitong and save this patriotic gentleman.

Jiujin said bitterly: "Impossible, the young master can't agree." ”

Feng Ji was helpless: "Saving the country is not the only way, he is still too stubborn, and he is too heavily influenced by Kang Youwei." ”

Feng Ji knew very well that Kang You was a person and was not worth entrusting.

After the sacrifice of the six gentlemen in history, Kang Youwei fled abroad.

Originally, it was not a scandal to flee abroad, but the bad thing is that this person has been trying in vain to restore the imperial system and oppose the revolution since then.

This is a complete hypocrite, who will later become the spiritual leader of the Restoration Movement of the Braided Army, and seriously hinder the process of national reunification.

This meal, the next drink is not very enjoyable, everyone has their own thoughts.

Jiujin drank too much, walked up, and was dazed.

Everyone sent her to rest in the Strong Martial Arts Society.

The night was as cold as water, and there was light snow in the sky.

Wang Wu watched the snow fall on the treetops in the courtyard, and his will became depressed.

When Feng Ji passed by, his footsteps paused slightly, stepped forward, and said, "It's so late, the fifth brother still hasn't slept yet?" ”

Wang Wu turned around and saw Feng Ji, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Since General Liu Yongfu was forced to go to Annan and the Black Flag Army was disbanded, the little flame of hope in my chest has been extinguished. ”

"When I met Brother Tan and them outside the gate, the spark in my heart was ignited again, I thought they would be the hope of the country, but listening to your words today, I ...... in my heart Alas. ”

Feng Ji patted him on the shoulder: "Fifth brother, Brother Tan, they are indeed heroes for the country and the people, they do have vision and courage, but they are bound by the times, trapped by the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is difficult to get out." ”

"China's hope is not in them."

Wang Wu said bitterly: "Is there still hope for China? Japan's small countries can enter the Central Plains, Taiwan and Liaodong have all been robbed by Japan, and if it weren't for the infighting among foreigners, Liaodong would not have been able to take it back. ”

"Tell me, do we still have hope?"

Feng Ji looked at Wang Wu and said firmly: "Yes!" ”

Wang Wu's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji pointed to the guide and said, "Fifth brother, if you have time, go to Guangzhou, the Black Flag Army is still there." The revolution over there is different from this side. ”

"Guangzhou?"

"It's inconvenient to say at the wine table, I'm in Guangzhou, I have reorganized the Black Flag Army, and now the Guangzhou Uprising has achieved a phased victory."

"The ideas of the revolutionary party are different from those of the reformers, and they may not be able to find a way out, but they are definitely more suitable for China than the reformers."

"Don't be trapped in the capital, don't count on the Qing government, they will only be a stumbling block in China's way forward."

"Only by breaking away from the Qing government can China move towards a bright future."

"Fifth brother, no matter what, you have to keep a useful body and fight for the future of China, not for the decaying Qing court, understand?"

Wang Wu's heart shook: "Brother, you ...... Tell me about Guangzhou again! ”

……

The next morning, Jiujin got up in a daze and stretched out.

The hem was slightly exposed, she hurriedly covered her clothes, got up and looked around, and secretly said no.

This is drunk and drunk, and it really delayed things, but fortunately, my daughter was not seen out.

Tie her trousers, she opened the door, and saw everyone in the courtyard gathered around, and some people cheered loudly.

Seeing the men in the yard surrounded naked, Jiujin was a little excited, and laughed: "What are you doing?" ”

She pushed the others away and squeezed inside.

But he saw a large open space in the center of the crowd, and Zhao Jian was fighting with Wang Wu's apprentices.

This made Jiujin's eyes light up suddenly, she has been interested in fighting since she was a child.

And joining in the fun is a woman's nature.

"Hey, what's the fight?"

She ran to Zuo Zongsheng and asked.

Zuo Zongsheng's small face showed a smile: "What kind of fight, it's a competition, my master said that the Zhao family boxing can defeat the Huo family boxing, there must be something unique, so I want everyone to try it." ”

Jiujin hurriedly looked at the field, but saw that Zhao Jian was standing on his feet, as if he had taken root.

Four or five people in the back attacked together, and they couldn't even push him.

Jiujin had itchy hands and shouted, "Count me in." ”

She turned over and jumped, jumped into the crowd, and slammed Zhao Jian's knee with a face-to-face slap.

Zhao Jian laughed: "Brother Jiujin, you are ruthless enough." ”

But seeing Zhao Jian's muscles bulging, his qi and blood vibrating, his arms pressed down violently.

With a bang, it blocked the palm of the nine catties.

Jiujin's arm was numb, and the whole person kept retreating, with surprise on his face: "Ming Jin? Are you a Ming Jin martial artist? ”

Zhao Jian smiled: "How?" ”

Jiujin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I don't have to fight, I'm still far from Mingjin." ”

She withdrew from the circle, came to Zuo Zongsheng's side, and asked, "Hey, what about Fifth Master and Brother Feng?" ”

"They're going to the martial arts conference."

"What? Martial arts conference? ”

"Yes, you were drunk last night, and your young master came to you this morning, and by the way, he brought an invitation to the martial arts conference, saying that Prince Yi held the martial arts conference, and my master took the eldest brother of the president over."

Zuo Zongsheng's words made Jiujin's eyes widen, and he hurriedly said: "Why don't you call me for such a lively thing?" ”

"When did they leave?"

"I just left for a while, hehe, Brother Zhao said, they held a martial arts conference, let's also have a martial arts performance in the strong martial arts meeting, those who lose, please drink, nine catties, you just lost it."

"What kind of wine are you drinking, another day, I'll go to see the martial arts conference."

After that, Jiujin hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and trotted all the way.

At the martial arts conference, the crowd surged.

The Qing soldiers gathered, there was a huge terrace in the center, and many tables and chairs were placed around it, and many dignitaries arrived.

Flags are displayed, and people come and go.

"It turns out that Brother Feng is actually the president of the Strong Martial Arts Association, which is disrespectful and disrespectful."

In front of Feng Ji, a middle-aged man, dressed in satin, hugged his fists and smiled.

Tan Sitong stood next to the middle-aged man and said, "Brother Yuan, President Feng is not only superb in martial arts, but also quite extraordinary. ”

When Yuan Shikai heard this, he asked in surprise: "Brother Feng has a meritorious reputation?" ”

Wang Wu hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Brother Yuan, Brother Feng and I are both martial artists, how can we be famous." ”

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but smile, and his attitude didn't seem to be so eager.

Tan Sitong said: "Brother Yuan, knowledge is life experience, and it has nothing to do with whether you have fame or not. Brother Feng, on the train that day, although you and I have different ways, it does not involve personal friendship, how about it? ”

Feng Ji smiled: "It should be like this." ”

He looked at Tan Sitong and the Yuan brother beside him many times, this is the famous Yuan Shikai in history.

It's just that Yuan Shikai at this time has just been appointed and is about to go to Tianjin Station for military training.

Feng Ji looked at him and thought in his heart, Yuan Shikai is going to go to the small station to train soldiers, can he have a chance to profit from it?
