Liang Qichao had reason to be angry, because the banned "Shi En" was one of the supplements of "Morning News".
"Morning News" was originally called "Morning Bell News". It was co-founded by Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin and others. It was an official publication of the "Research Department". He spoke for the Zhili clique warlords.
After Liang Qichao retired from politics, "Morning Post Supplement" became a propaganda base for Marxism, often publishing articles introducing the Russian revolution. However, since Xu Zhimo took over last year, "Morning Post Supplement" began to change its political stance and initiated a major discussion on "Russian issues"
, was opposed to the Russian Revolution.
Even at the end of last year, the "Capital Revolution" (grand march) jointly launched by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party lost control and turned into a mob activity. The "Morning Post" was regarded as a reactionary publication by the marchers, and the newspaper office was burned down.
It stands to reason that "Morning News Supplement" was on Zhang Zuolin's side, but now it has been inexplicably closed down, and Xu Zhimo has also been arrested. This makes Liang Qichao not angry.
Liang Qichao's current mental activity must be: "Zhang Zuolin, you are so paralyzed that you even arrested one of your own!"
The former Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion is now Zhang Zuolin's official residence.
Liang Qichao came to the gate angrily, blowing his beard and yelling: "Zhang Zuolin, come out!"
The gate guard immediately raised his gun, pointed it at Liang Qichao and shouted: "Who is so impatient that he dares to make a noise in the Marshal's Mansion!"
"I am Liang Qichao, tell Zhang Zuolin to come out and see me!" Liang Qichao's momentum continued unabated.
The guard must have heard of Liang Qichao's name, so he warned him, "Wait here and don't make any more arrogant remarks. I'll report it to the commander in chief."
Zhu Xiang's eyes sparkled as he watched. He was an angry young man who liked to despise authority and was full of admiration for Liang Qichao's performance at this moment.
Zhou Hexuan was secretly amused. Liang Qichao dared to play like this because he was sure that Zhang Zuolin would not touch him.
Soon the guards ran back, led Liang Qichao, Zhou Hexuan and Zhu Xiang into the palace, and took them to the reception room of the palace to wait.
"Hahahahaha!"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Zhang Zuolin came in wearing a silk shirt, opened his mouth and cursed: "Mom, what gust of wind brought Mr. Ren here? Let's go, let's go and have a drink together."
Zhou Hexuan looked at Zhang Zuolin carefully and found that the man was thin and short, but his eyes were extremely sharp. Listening to the laughter and looking at the man's appearance, Zhou Hexuan could only think of three words: Live Cao Cao!
Liang Qichao glared and said: "I don't dare to drink Marshal Zhang's wine, otherwise I will be poisoned to death!"
Zhang Zuolin was stunned and asked: "Mr. Ren, what's going on?"
"My students were arrested by you, and a supplement of "Morning News" was also sealed by you!" Liang Qichao said.
Zhang Zuolin asked: "Could your students be red elements?"
Liang Qichao said angrily: "What a bloody red element. He criticized the Russian Revolution last year. Even the office of the Morning Post was burned down by the red elements."
Zhang Zuolin asked again: "What is the name of the seized publication?"
"'Poetry'!" Liang Qichao said.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask about the situation first." Zhang Zuolin reassured.
There was a telephone in the reception room. Zhang Zuolin dialed the number in front of them and said: "Get me the police station, I am Zhang Zuolin..."
Soon the call was connected, and Zhang Zuolin cursed: "Mom, what the hell did you seal up "The Poetry" and arrest people... What? There was a Russian poem published in "The Poetry"? It's called "The Poetry".
If Life Deceived You". An anti-poem "Answer" was also published?"
Hearing this, Zhou Hexuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked to Zhang Zuolin and explained: "Commander, the poem "If Life Deceived You" was written by Pushkin. Although he is a Russian, he has been dead for decades.
The current Soviet Union has nothing to do with it. As for the "Answer" written by me, I am a young marshal, so there is no way I could write an anti-poetry."
Zhang Zuolin held the phone receiver, turned around and asked, "Are you from Liuzi?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "My name is Zhou Hexuan. I worked as a foreign language secretary for the young marshal. Now I help the young marshal manage Ta Kung Pao and the Education Foundation."
"Oh, you are that Zhou Hexuan," Zhang Zuolin said with a smile, "I heard Feng Zhi talk about you, saying that you are a talented person who helped Liu Zi quit smoking. Mom, if you don't do it, all my men will cause trouble for me."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Commander Mingjian."
Zhang Zuolin immediately cursed into the phone: "Xu Datou, hurry up and let me go! I asked you to arrest the Red Party members, but you arrest Ren Gong and the Liuzi people? You are so blind! I think you are doing this
The police chief doesn’t want to do it anymore!”
Well, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Zhou Hexuan is now deeply aware of the high political pressure in the capital. Even if Russian poems appear in poetry magazines, they will be regarded as pro-Soviet elements. As for his "Reply", according to some people's interpretation, it is really an out-and-out poem.
Anti-poetry.
"Hahahaha," Zhang Zuolin hung up the phone, patted Liang Qichao on the back and said, "Mr. Ren, this is the fault of someone under his fucking command. Don't worry, the police station has released him. Let's go, brothers.
Let’s go have a few drinks. What, yes, Zhou Hexuan, you come too.”
Liang Qichao looked down upon Zhang Zuolin. He was full of gangsterism and foul-mouthed, and he didn't look like someone who would achieve great things.
But people under the eaves had to bow their heads. Zhang Zuolin was now the actual controller of the capital, and Liang Qichao had to give him face, so he followed him to the dining room half-heartedly.
Zhang Zuolin's several concubines are all in Tianjin, and he only has his sixth concubine as attendant. This sixth concubine, like Chu Yupu's fifth concubine, used to be an actress in the Tianjin Tianbao Troupe, and is younger than Zhang Xueliang.
The sixth aunt helped pour wine for everyone, Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, you don't know. The revolutionary party is making a lot of noise and they can't catch them all. The people below will inevitably make mistakes. Today's matter is indeed my brother's.
You're wrong, I arrested your student for no reason. Come on, brother, I'll give you a toast to make amends to you!"
"No, Yu Shuai's words are serious." Liang Qichao was comforted and his attitude became much more polite.
Zhou Hexuan watched from the side and gained a new understanding of Zhang Zuolin. Although Zhang Zuolin was vulgar in speech, he was very capable in his work and could put down his airs.
If it were Chu Yupu, he would probably have kicked everyone out long ago.
During this dinner, Liang Qichao was the protagonist, while Zhou Hexuan and Zhu Xiang could only be regarded as companions.
Zhang Zuolin raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "I, Zhang, have never read a book, but I admire scholars the most in my life. Especially Ren Gong, when your brother was the master of all things, I was just a bandit. In politics
Come on, you are my senior, I can only be considered a junior. Come on, junior, give me another drink!"
Putting on this tall hat, Liang Qichao was completely turned off, and his impression of Zhang Zuolin was greatly changed. He smiled and said: "Shuai Yu is so polite."
"You're welcome, and don't be polite to me either," Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to say, "Brother, the government is in a state of turmoil right now. Gu Weijun, the acting prime minister, has no prestige. If brother is willing to come out, I will guarantee you to be the acting prime minister.
After the presidential election in two years, I will ensure that you become the president."
"Shuai Yu, don't joke with me. I have quit politics long ago." Liang Qichao was not fooled.
Nowadays, although Zhang Zuolin has great military power, he has no political appeal. He wants to use Liang Qichao's reputation to win over people. As long as Liang Qichao agrees, Liang Qichao will be a puppet when nothing happens. Once something happens, Liang Qichao will have to take the blame.
For example, the president and the prime minister must sign the traitorous treaty. If such bad things are exposed, Liang Qichao's reputation will be completely ruined.
