261 [The King of the Subjugated Country is Difficult to Be a King]
Japanese concession, Zhangyuan.?
Zai Ze, Bao Ruichen, Sheshou Min, Chen Yizhong and other Manchu and Qing Dynasty officials came to pay their respects. More than twenty people cheered and knelt down and kowtowed: "Welcome to my emperor, long live long live! Long live long live!"
With a gloomy face, Pu Yi took out a piece of "Ta Kung Pao" and said: "There is a newspaper saying that the robbery of the imperial mausoleum this time was carried out by a warlord named Sun. Dear friends, do you know who this person is?"
"Your Majesty," Bao Ruichen raised his head and bowed, "it should be Sun Dianying without a doubt. Wei Chen went to Dongling to deal with the aftermath. After many investigations, it has been found that Sun Chuanfang's troops were stationed near Dongling for more than two months."
"hateful!"
Puyi slammed the table, and he looked up to the sky, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes: "My ancestors, I, Puyi, swear that if I don't avenge this, I will not be a descendant of Aisin Gioro!"
"Your Majesty! Wuwuwuwu..."
There was a lot of crying in the hall, and the old and the young were beating their chests and wailing.
A month and a half ago, Puyi held an imperial meeting and set up a mourning hall in Zhangyuan for daily worship. He also sent Bao Ruichen to take more than 70 people to Dongling to deal with the aftermath. Now the bones of Cixi and Qianlong have been reburied.
Zai Ze and Bao Ruichen also investigated the truth.
Now that he learned that Sun Dianying was the mastermind, Puyi held another meeting, and finally sent a telegram to Chang Kaishen, Yan Xishan, and major newspapers in the name of the Qing Dynasty and the elders, demanding that Sun Dianying be severely punished and that the government pay compensation for the repair of the mausoleum.
cost.
The imperial meeting ended and the "ministers" resigned.
Puyi came to the study, spread out the drawing paper, and wrote with great indignation. In less than a moment, he finished a painting.
In the painting, a man was tied up and kneeling on the ground with a horrified face. The words "Sun Dianying" were written next to him. There was also a man and a woman standing, holding a sword and a sword, and slashed at Sun Dianying's neck with one sword.
Well, this is the exhibit that was kept in the Museum of the Puppet Manchukuo for later generations, Puyi's authentic "Killing Sun Dianying"!
Just after I painted my intention clearly, the eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang Xueling wishes to see you."
"Invite him to the living room." Pu Yi put down his brush and said.
Zhang Yuan, where Pu Yi now lives, is the property of the Zhang family, and even the guards standing guard at the door were invited by the Zhang family. Zhang Biao died last year, and now the eldest son Zhang Xueling is the head of the family, which is seriously equivalent to Pu Yi's
landlord.
Puyi was not in a good mood at the moment. He came to the reception room with a straight face and asked in a cold tone: "What important business does Zhang Aiqing have with me?"
Zhang Xueling was not polite and said straight to the point: "Mr. Pu, I'm here to collect the rent."
"House...rent?" Puyi thought she heard wrongly.
"Yes, rent," Zhang Xueling drank tea slowly, "for such a big house, 700 yuan a month is not expensive, right? Mr. Pu, you have lived here for three years and seven months, I will give you a discount.
The previous rent was calculated as 500 yuan per month, totaling 21,500 yuan. I'll be generous and give you the change. Mr. Pu, you still owe 20,000 yuan in rent."
"You, you, you..." Pu Yi was trembling with anger. It took him a long time to regain his composure, and gritted his teeth and said, "It was your father who invited me to live here in the first place, and he never said anything about the rent!"
Zhang Xueling said with a cold face: "My father is my father, and he has gone to Hexi. Now I am the head of the Zhang family, and the house is mine. I can charge as much rent as I want. If you think it is not cost-effective, you can move."
ah."
Pu Yi roared angrily: "I'm moving. A gentleman won't take advantage of you. I don't want to live in your house for a day!"
"Okay," Zhang Xueling said, spreading his hands, "Give me this month's 700 yuan rent first, and leave aside the 20,000 yuan you owed before."
Puyi was so angry that he kicked over the coffee table, left the living room angrily, and shouted in the corridor: "Give him the money!"
Zhang Xueling returned to her home happily with the rent she had just received, and said to a woman dressed in neutral clothes: "Ms. Jin, Puyi is so angry that he will probably move out soon."
"Well, you did a good job, and the Empire of Japan will remember your contribution." The person who spoke was actually Yoshiko Kawashima!
When the Japanese decided to assassinate Zhang Zuolin earlier, they sent Yoshiko Kawashima to make contacts and prepare to send Puyi to the Northeast as a puppet. Unexpectedly, the Northeast was not in chaos because of this, and subsequent plans were difficult to implement, and Puyi once again became a dispensable chess piece.
But Xianqi is also a chess piece, and you may not be able to use it one day.
The Japanese wanted to force Puyi away from Zhangyuan. On the one hand, they were interested in Puyi's house and wanted to use it as the military headquarters of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin. On the other hand, they wanted to force Puyi into a corner so that the Japanese could control it.
.
Puyi, the last emperor, was really miserable. His ancestral grave had just been dug up, and now he was being forcibly asked for rent.
But this man was also tolerant. He couldn't find a good place for a while, but he actually paid 700 yuan in rent every month. It wasn't until more than half a year later that the Japanese cut off water and electricity in Zhangyuan, and Puyi had no choice but to move away from there.
.
Let's go back and talk about touching Sun Laodian, the captain of the Jin School.
After "Ta Kung Pao" published the "warlord surnamed Sun" as the main culprit, other newspapers received calls from Puyi. Seeing that the government could not cover it up (Yan Xishan was behind it), it no longer controlled public opinion. The newspapers in Pingjin and Tianjin scrambled to
Report this.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Chang Kaishen had no choice but to urge Yan Xishan to solve the case as soon as possible. Chang Kaishen, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, and Yan Xishan, the four major military leaders, all sent their representatives to Beijing to form a high-level military court to hear the case.
.
Puyi saw that the Nanjing government was taking great action, and he was full of joy and thought that Sun Dianying was going to be punished. However... nothing happened.
Sun Dianying felt that the situation was serious and went around through Dai Li's connections. He gave top-notch treasures such as the Kowloon Sword, Night Pearl, Emerald Grasshopper Cabbage, Emerald Watermelon, and various gemstones to Chang Kaishen, Miss Song San, Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, and He Yingqin respectively.
Others, important officials of the Republic of China have become the beneficiaries, who is willing to conduct a thorough investigation?
Puyi was really aggrieved and wanted to cry but had no tears.
It is not easy to be the king of a subjugated country!
And our military commander, General Sun, is in Tianjin at this time, and even came to the "Ta Kung Pao" office in person.
In Zhou Hexuan's office, Sun Dianying laughed a few times, and then said: "Brother Zhou, I dug graves to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and for the sake of national justice, you can't report it randomly."
"I didn't say you were the one who dug it. General Sun, you didn't bring it upon yourself." Zhou Hexuan started to talk nonsense.
"We Ming people don't talk secretly. I have paid for the newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin." Sun Dianying took out a jade ring from his pocket, "Brother Zhou, your "Ta Kung Pao" has the largest sales volume, I have to personally
Come here. This was plucked from Qianlong’s finger. It’s worth my money. I’ll buy you Ta Kung Pao and stop causing trouble.”
Zhou Hexuan played with the jade finger, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Sun, even if you don't come this time, Ta Kung Pao won't bother to report it anymore. Anyway, there will be no results. As for this finger, I will help you donate it to the Palace Museum."
Sun Dianying smiled and showed his yellow teeth: "You scholars, you are just pretentious. Just accept gifts and don't talk about donations. Don't worry, I promise not to talk nonsense and will not ruin your reputation. Farewell!" 8
