    In March, a sudden spring rain drenched the capital, washing away all the dust and dirt accumulated over half a winter.  The old people in the capital who finally got rid of the haze of war could not help but look at the sky with joy, and exclaimed: "Spring rain is as precious as oil!"

    Since some people are happy, naturally there are also people who are sad. For example, at this time, white flags towered in the Presidential Palace, and there were bursts of crying.  There are also some ordinary people in the market who cannot care about the tragic honors and disgrace of dynasties and the rise and fall of factions, but they also have their own joys and sorrows. For example, the boss of Yihuchun is leaning against the door looking at the sky and sighing. Even the waiter in the shop  Listening to this makes me feel sad.

    Speaking of which, the owner of Yihuchun is quite discerning. After experiencing the chaos of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, he was keenly aware of the impact of European style and beauty on the capital¡¯s catering culture. He did not hesitate to borrow tens of thousands of yuan from real estate deeds as collateral to carry out comprehensive renovation of the restaurant.  They also hired several Western chefs from Shanghai and Guangzhou with high salaries to provide high-end luxury and authentic taste.  Facts have proved that Yihuchun's transformation is very correct. Although the transformation has lost some regular customers, it has attracted more dignitaries from the four or nine cities to try it out.  During that time, Yipotchun was always busy with customers no matter morning or noon, and it quickly became the most famous restaurant in the capital.

    However, the good times did not last long. Restaurants that followed suit sprung up in the streets and alleys of the capital, and many of them were newcomers to the industry. Yihuchun's business declined rapidly, and it could only maintain a tepid profit with a slight surplus.  In such a state, repayment of the loan seems to be far away.  Unexpectedly, it rained continuously all night, and major events happened one after another in the capital some time ago, such as the siege of the Congress, the attack on the headquarters of the New China Party, the bombing of the Presidential Palace, and the return of the toad spirit, which scared everyone, old and young, in the capital.  Who has the heart to go to a restaurant to enjoy a big meal when the house is shivering?  Yihuchun's business was so bleak that there was almost no one left.

    After finally getting through those hard days, a few customers finally came to visit us. Unexpectedly, we encountered such a rainy day again.  Who wants to go out to eat when the streets are slippery and the ground is muddy?

    Just as the shopkeeper was sighing, a GM car covered in mud turned the corner.  Stopped at the door of a pot of spring.  The waiter rushed out of the house and opened the car door respectfully: "Sir, do you plan to have a meal in the shop?"

    A voice came from the car: "Boy, are you guys having a party today?"

    ¡°Those who can afford cars these days are either rich or expensive, and these people are not short of money at all.  As long as you serve them well, your capital will be back at least for one day.  So the shopkeeper hurriedly came up to him with an umbrella, bowed and replied: "Opening. Of course we opening! Even if we don't open today, you still have to open the restaurant when you come here, right? You have come all the way here, no matter how small the shop is,  How dare I spoil your fun!"

    At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing came out of the car. He was blown away by the cold wind and the cold rain. He couldn't help but frowned: "It's really cold in spring in the capital! It's really hateful for Yuan Xiangcheng to risk it.  The whole world will besiege our headquarters of the New China Party. If our guest house is intact. Why do you and I brothers suffer such a heinous crime and travel thousands of miles to eat here?"

    The shopkeeper and the waiter were startled when they heard this: Although President Yuan has now passed away, his power is still there, and ordinary people still dare not ridicule him casually.  The man in front of me actually dared to publicly criticize President Yuan Da. He also opened his mouth about the headquarters of the New China Party but shut up about the New China Party Guest House. It seemed that he was really not an ordinary person.  You have to be more careful later and wait carefully!

    "It's cold in spring? I think brother Di Xuan has endless spring, right?" As he spoke, a middle-aged scholar wearing a new and not old cotton robe emerged from the car.  There was an old filial belt tied around his waist, and his pale complexion revealed a shabby and acrimonious air: "Now you, the New China Party, are wearing yellow robes. Even if the guest house is intact, you are not a poor person like me."  As far as I can get involved, Yipotchun is the best. After all, it is a place where our brothers used to frequent, so I am more courageous!"

    Wu Tongjia did not argue, and immediately extended his hand to invite: "Brother Shaoquan, please!"

    Yang Jiesan did not refuse at all, and walked into a pot of spring with his head held high: "Xiaoer, do you have a private room called 'Chunliu Yingfeng' here? Let's go there today. First of all, it is in line with the current solar term.  , and secondly, it is in line with Brother Di Xuan¡¯s state of mind!¡±

    After the dishes and drinks were all priced at the same price, the two of them started to talk.

    As soon as the waiter left the room, Yang Jiesan couldn't wait to ask: "Although Yuan Weiting is dead, his murderous gangs are densely populated around the capital. If there is any disturbance, they will search the whole city. They will hunt and kill dissidents. At this time when the situation is unclear, Brother Di Xuan  Why are you rushing to Beijing?"

    "Thank you, Brother Shaoquan, for your concern! But the situation is very clear now," Wu Tongjia said unfazed: "As Brother Xian said, Yuan Weiting has now driven westward. Gan Governor Li Xiushan (Li Chun), Su Governor Jin Yiqing (  Jin Yunpeng), direct governor Feng Huafu (Feng Guozhang) and other forefathers?Declared independence, Commander Cai Huchen (Cai Chengxun) of the First Division of the Central Army, Commander Tang Yunting (Tang Tianxi) of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division, and others surrendered. Commander Cao Zhongshan (Cao Kun) of the Third Division and others were captured alive. Beiyang has been torn apart. Who is still here?  Dare to go against the trend and bring about your own destruction?

    "Brother Yu hurriedly went north this time because Premier Sun will return to Beijing soon. If he comes to Beijing again this time, the world's major events will basically be settled. If nothing else, he should quickly start to deal with the Beiyang governors and the government  Important personnel and brigade commanders of each division will make adjustments to stabilize the country. So Brother Yu wants the stupid bird to fly first, rush to the capital in advance to clear the way, and try to get the upper hand."

    When Yang Jiesan heard this, he raised his glass and said, "I would like to wish Brother Di Xuan that all your wishes will come true!"

    After finishing the drink, Wu Tongjia asked with concern: "How are you doing, brother Shaoquan? Empress Dowager Longyu Bintian has no senior officials in the palace, and the emperor is underage. There are so many things going on in Chongling.  I'm afraid my dear brother has a lot to worry about, right?" Wu Tongjia asked this question because he saw that Yang Jiesan was still wearing a mourning belt for the Empress Dowager Longyu around his waist.

    Yang Jiesan said: "It's okay, little brother. As a lecturer in the imperial court, I just study with the emperor in Yuqing Palace every day, and there is nothing to worry about. There is only one section that makes Yang quite worried, that is, the emperor  Before the issuance of the "Abdication Edict", the government signed preferential treatment conditions with the Republic of China government, stipulating that after the emperor resigned, the government would allocate 4 million yuan every year as annual expenses. However, last year, the actual allocation was less than 3.5 million yuan. So far this year  Not even a penny was seen. The palace was already so tight that it couldn't get rid of the problem, so it could only survive by selling various items.

    "As a minister, Yang should eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. However, Yang is a scholar. His family has no money to store stones, and he has no power to tie a chicken. He has no way to make a living, so he can only give half of his salary to serve.  Your Majesty. Now Brother Di Xuan is an important member of the New China Party and has a close relationship with Sun Baixi. My younger brother Xiangyan begs you to send a message to Sun Baixi, asking him to allocate the full amount of funds as soon as possible. The top one will give you the trust of the whole country, and the middle one will repay you.  The late emperor and I owe you the favor of this promotion. I will help you solve the urgent needs of the palace!"

    Wu Tongjia was stunned: "It's natural for a foolish brother to give advice to a wise brother, but shouldn't he go to Li Songqing (Li Yuanhong) for this matter? According to the national legal system, allocating funds must be approved by the president, and the cabinet prime minister has no power at all.  Acting arbitrarily. Now that Yuan Xiangcheng has died of a sudden illness, the interim vice president Li Songqing is now acting on his behalf. My dear brother, you may wish to urge him when you have time."

    "Looking for Li Songqing?" Yang Jiesan couldn't help but sneered several times: "Li Songqing is just a veteran in the army. There are no heroes at that time, so Zhuzi became famous. If he really had the ability to act as president, how could he be replaced by Yuan Weiting and Sun Baixi back then?  They joined forces to play tricks on each other and were imprisoned in Yingtai? Now they were lucky enough to encounter Yuan Weiting's sudden death, and were released to act as the president. But as a president, he has no soldiers, no money, and no land.  Didn't Sun Baixi just let it be rounded and flattened in the end? If Sun Yuanqi agreed to allocate funds, would he still dare to say no?

    "Furthermore, the treasury was completely plundered by Yuan Weiting, and there was no balance at all. Even if Li Songqing nodded in agreement, he was powerless. Looking around the country now, only Sun Baixi has the financial resources to help the palace. Yang  Who can I ask if I don¡¯t ask him? And as the nephew of Sun Wenzhenggong (Sun Jianai), he has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations. Shouldn¡¯t he be generous on this occasion?¡±

    "Since Brother Shaoquan said so, Brother Yu will give you a message, but there is no guarantee whether it will happen or not." In fact, Wu Tongjia had already made up his mind and decided not to mention the news to Sun Yuanqi. At the moment, he still said softly: "But  Now there are only you and me. Brother Yu, to be honest, the palace expenses should be slightly reduced. As far as Wu knows, every time the emperor goes to the Summer Palace, he not only has to be followed by dozens of cars, but also the capital police are hired.  The police officers from the department spent thousands of dollars at a time to guard the road.

    "Perhaps these are all for safety reasons, but what about in the inner courtyard of the palace? It is said that the emperor went to the imperial garden to play. There were dozens of people following behind him, some carrying horses to rest at any time, and some carrying clothes for comfort.  Some were carrying various snack boxes, some were carrying tea sets and kettles, some were carrying umbrellas, and some were carrying various first-aid pills The scene far surpassed that of the President and Prime Minister of the Republic of China.  travel. Now that the treasury is empty, and huge sums of money have to be allocated for the palace to squander, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s hard to escape the criticism of the congressmen, right?¡±

    Yang Jiesan suddenly became angry: "In order to prevent the lives of all living beings, the emperor even gave way to the world. Now if he wants to barely maintain a bit of royal dignity, he has to face unwarranted accusations from some people. May I ask how sincere these people are?  ? Are his ancestors, fathers, and even himself former subjects of the Qing Dynasty? Why do you treat your emperor so harshly and forget your ancestors now? "

    The atmosphere in the banquet room suddenly became stiff, and the two of them were immersed in drinking and eating.  After a long while, Wu Tongjia asked again in order to ease the atmosphere: "Brother Shaoquan is ministering at Yuqing Palace, can you?"??What books does the emperor read now?  "

    Yang Jiesan said: "The emperor is very knowledgeable about God's gifts and can recite them from his memories. In addition to reading the Thirteen Classics, he also reads through the "Extensions of the University", "Zhu Xi's Family Instructions", "Ting Xun Motto", "Holy Edicts and Guang Xun", "  "Yu Piao Tongjian Collection", "Shengwu Ji", "The Founding Strategy of the Qing Dynasty", etc. Prince Chun believed that the world is now integrated, and as a monarch, he must be proficient in foreign languages ??to avoid being deceived by the younger generation, so he decided to  In addition to Mandarin (Manchu), a new English course will be added.¡±

    Wu Tongjia said: "In fact, the various teaching materials compiled by Premier Sun are most suitable for students. They not only contain the principles of being a good person, but also addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, sound, light, and electricity. They are very interesting. Shaoquan brother might as well let the emperor read it in his free time.  If you read it, you should be better than those ancient texts that are awkward and incomprehensible."

    Yang Jiesan took a sip of wine and said: "The reason why the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the emperors and empresses were in ruins is because today's scholars have destroyed the teachings of the saints and converted to Western learning, which has resulted in young people being arrogant and disrespectful to their superiors and having no loyalty to the emperor.  Patriotism, and Sun Baixi¡¯s miraculous skills and tricks are especially outstanding! It will only make ignorant students addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves. They don¡¯t know that in addition to miraculous skills and tricks, there is also the saint¡¯s knowledge of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. In the past, Gu Yanwu once said that Wang Yifu (Wang Yan)  )¡¯s pure talk, Wang Jiefu¡¯s (Wang Anshi¡¯s) new theories, and Wang Bo¡¯an¡¯s (Wang Shouren¡¯s) conscience have brought trouble to the world for hundreds of years. From my point of view, the one who will bring trouble to the world for hundreds of years in the future must be Sun Baixi¡¯s uncanny skills!¡±

    Wu Tongjia raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass, sighing secretly in his heart: Yang Shaoquan is so stubborn, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet and drink together again in the future!
