When Tang Jiading was unwilling to give in, Xu Shichang was also unwilling to give in.
That's what Prince Chun said. Xu Shichang asked his secretary with a fierce expression.
Yes, what Prince Chun meant was that it was absolutely impossible. The Forbidden City was a private property left to the Aisinjueluo family by Aisin Gioro's ancestors. Prince Chun would never let Puyi move out of the Forbidden City. The secretary's expression was bitter, but he answered in the affirmative.
After Qin Zhiyuan's enlightenment, Xu Shichang really made up his mind to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City.
The purpose of driving them out is to drive them out. The method to be used is still open to debate. In Xu Shichang's opinion, it would be best if Puyi was willing to take the initiative to move out. Both the Aixinjueluo clan and the Beiyang government would have a good time, so Xu Shichang sent people to find him.
Prince Chun would like to test his tone first.
Let me just say it, all the good words are useless. To deal with such old people and young people, we must be decisive and tough and not give them any chance to argue. Prime Minister Qin Yunpeng is still used to the military style.
After all, the Aixinjueluo clan is still the royal family. The preferential treatment conditions for the Qing Dynasty that we signed with them before stipulated that Emperor Xuantong could temporarily live in the palace and move to the Summer Palace in the future, but it did not stipulate a specific time, which left Prince Chun and the others.
There are enough excuses. If you don't find a suitable reason, I'm afraid it won't be justified. After all, among the preferential treatment conditions of the Qing Dynasty, there are provisions that the Qing emperor's title should remain intact and the Republic of China should treat foreign monarchs with courtesy. If it is forcibly expelled
, then I’m afraid we won’t be able to live with it in terms of face. Xu Shichang’s personal friend, Shen Xiyi, special advisor to the Presidential Office, has many concerns.
Alas, President Yuan was a wise man, and he was indeed wrong in dealing with the issue of cleaning up his family. Qin Yunpeng had resentment towards Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai is indeed a shrewd person all his life, but when he comes to old age, he still cannot help but lose his old age. He can be regarded as a person with mixed reputations.
The situation at that time was special, and President Yuan was not entirely to blame. Shen Xiyi could understand Yuan Shikai's difficulties.
Speaking of this preferential treatment condition for cleaning up the house, it had a certain historical background when it was born, so although it seems a bit out of place now, to be honest, as long as a sensible person, there is not much resentment towards this condition.
After all, under the circumstances at that time, only Yuan Shikai could make the Qing government accept this condition, and it would be impossible for anyone else to do better.
Of course, this is more about the issue of whether people are strong enough to survive. Officials protect each other. This is a tradition in the Chinese world.
It is meaningless to argue about this now. The key issue is how to get Puyi to move out of the Forbidden City. Xu Shichang has begun to call him by his first name. It seems that his patience with Puyi has reached the limit.
This, if we do not use tough measures, it is difficult and difficult. Qin Yunpeng used three difficulties to describe the difficulty of this matter.
That's not impossible. Shen Xiyi activated his thinking and fulfilled his duties as a consultant.
Oh, sir, what is your clever idea? Please teach me quickly. Xu Shichang was immediately overjoyed.
Although Qin Yunpeng didn't say anything, the hope in his eyes already showed his attitude. It would be a good thing if he could really get Puyi out of the palace without a big fight. Qin Yunpeng was not willing to make a fuss over this matter, which would not save the Beiyang government much face.
brilliance.
Isn’t it said that most of the palaces in the Forbidden City are in disrepair? Since they are in disrepair, they need to be repaired. We can’t just watch the Forbidden City become a pile of ruins. If Prince Chun doesn’t want Puyi to move out of the Forbidden City, then fine.
Let Prince Chun fund the renovation of the dilapidated palaces in the Forbidden City. If Prince Chun doesn't want to pay for it, then we can. Shen Xiyi shook his head. It would be more atmospheric if he had a feather fan in his hand.
If you want to build a house, you will definitely need to carry out extensive construction, and then the Forbidden City will become a large construction site. If Puyi continues to live in the Forbidden City, it may not be suitable.
Although the employment of eunuchs is no longer allowed in the Forbidden City, there are still many eunuchs living in the palace. If you want to build a house, you cannot rely on those eunuchs. You must be a professional craftsman with that skill.
Well, repairs these days are not just about simple renovations. They all require carved beams and painted pillars, and it doesn't matter if the paintings don't look good, they must be done by skilled craftsmen.
In this way, many craftsmen would inevitably enter the Forbidden City. The craftsmen were of the lowest rank. It would be very bad if these rough people were to collide with Emperor Xuantong, so it would be more appropriate to move out temporarily.
As long as Puyi can move out of the Forbidden City, whether he can move back is another question. It cannot be said that this kind of repairs, continuous repairs for decades are not uncommon.
Well, this is a great plan. If Puyi really moves out of the Forbidden City, Mr. Xu Shichang will be the first to take the credit. Xu Shichang will not hesitate to praise him.
Haha, it's just a matter of duty. Shen Xiyi is modest and hides the pride in his eyes very well.
A counselor is the person who serves the meal. He can hide behind the scenes and come up with ideas, help the proprietor solve a problem, etc. This is the value of a counselor's existence.
Then tomorrow, find a capable general to handle this matter tomorrow. No matter what Puyi says, Puyi must be driven out of the Forbidden City. As long as there is an excuse, even if it is not so perfect, Xu Shichang will not tolerate it for a minute.
It's easy, let Feng Huanzhang go. He has long disliked those Manchus. Feng Huanzhang often came to me to complain about the old people and children wandering around the capital with nothing to do. Qin Yunpeng can really find people, and he is also a good person. celebrity.
Feng Huanzhang, whose original name was Feng Jishan, was from Qingxian County, Zhili Province. During Zhang Xun's restoration, he led his troops to Beijing to defeat Zhang Xun, which led to the hasty restoration of Emperor Xuantong.
Feng Huanzhang was a Christian and was known as the Christian General. Therefore, Feng Huanzhang was very disgusted with the imperial power and had approached Qin Yunpeng several times to request that Puyi be driven away from the Forbidden City.
Feng Huanzhang, eh, eh, this guy is good, let him go. If everything is done, he will be promoted to a higher position. Xu Shichang is a little too excited.
Even if Feng Huanzhang successfully completes the task, Xu Shichang has the right to give Feng Huanzhang a promotion, and it is impossible to become a knight.
After the founding of the Republic of China, all Spyker systems outside the scope of the Qing Dynasty preferential treatment regulations were officially abolished.
After that, during the restoration of Xuantong and Yuan Shikai, a large number of knights were granted, but no one recognized them. After that, except for the knights in minority areas and religious areas, the knighthood completely disappeared from the stage of history.
Of course, the Chinese people's hope of being promoted to a higher rank has never diminished, especially the inheritable title system, which is even more desirable.
Currently, there are many calls to restore the title system in the capital, but they have been unable to obtain majority approval in Congress.
Well, the Congress of the Republic of China was also weird. Not only were they unable to pass proposals regarding titles, they were unable to pass almost any proposal.
The Chinese people's yearning for power is really unlimited. When the emperor was deposed, everyone felt that this time the people were finally in charge, so the president, prime minister, cabinet, and congress all came together in a swarm. In the end, it all became a vanity fair.
It may sound a bit sad, but in the Chinese society, it is really not suitable to practice Western-style democracy. Although many Chinese people say they are opposed to dictatorship, deep down they still worship authority and that kind of authoritarian power. So if we do it in the Chinese world Democracy, that will only lead to democracy evolving into populism, and it will have no other effect.
Well, this has been confirmed by reality.
Sending Feng Huanzhang there will certainly have a high chance of completing the mission, but given Feng Huanzhang's temperament, he will probably be unintentionally rude, which will inevitably cause damage to our face. Shen Xiyi still has doubts.
That's not something we can care about. We can't stop eating because of choking. Even if we get a bad name, it doesn't matter. As long as we can drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, nationalize the Forbidden City, and turn it into a museum for all our people, even if it means taking the bad name, it's worth it. Besides, it's worth it. Well, in addition to those old and young, there are a few people who still remember Puyi. I am afraid that if one bannerman scolds me, ten people will praise me. Xu Shichang made a good calculation.
During the Qing government, the Manchus were called bannermen, and all other ethnic groups except the Manchus were called people. This was also the government's version of racial discrimination.
What Xu Shichang said is almost the truth. Today's capital is no longer what it was when the Republic of China was first established. The lives of the elderly and the young are getting more and more miserable, and their social influence is getting weaker and weaker. If Xu Shichang really used force to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, Then Xu Shichang will really win a lot of applause.
Where to take Emperor Xuantong out of the Forbidden City and place it is also a problem. If he places it too far away, it will inevitably be out of reach and create opportunities for some interested people. But if he places it too close, he will probably collude with the old and young in the capital. Trouble is still inevitable. Shen Xiyi thinks more and is more realistic at the same time.
In the past history, it was Feng Huanzhang who drove Puyi out of the Forbidden City, and then Puyi went to Tianjin Jingyuan, and then fled to the northeast and became the emperor of Manchukuo.
In this time and space, the Japanese have too much time to take care of themselves, and they probably don’t have time to cause trouble for the Republic of China. However, they must beware of other interested people, such as the British, Americans, and even some people in power within the Republic of China. It is possible to coerce the emperor to order the princes, which will inevitably cause endless harm.
It's easy, just put it in Prince Chun's palace, and if something goes wrong, it will be dealt with in one place. Qin Yunpeng was still ruthless, so he simply resorted to the continuous sitting system.
The leftovers of the Qing Empire were headed by Puyi and his father, Prince Chun. If given the chance, Qin Yunpeng would not mind catching them all.
Well, speaking of Prince Chun, Prince Chun’s palace is not small either.
