    "We haven't contacted each other for a long time, but we still have a relationship. What's the situation? Is there any movement from the old man in the north?" Jin Jiu nodded at first, and then couldn't help but ask.

    Chen Guofu smiled and shook his head: "The Security Bureau has nothing to do with Lao Maozi's affairs. This is the job of the Intelligence Bureau."

    Jin Jiu was stunned at first, then touched his forehead and smiled: "That's true, I haven't been in Beijing for more than a year. I used to do everything when I was in the Secret Service, but as time went by, I forgot about this."

    After thinking for a while, Jin Jiu raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City and asked, "Is it possible that the person inside is restless again?"

    On February 12, 1912, Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate, and the Republic of China was established.  Prior to this, former President Yuan Shikai and the Qing Dynasty signed a series of treaties targeting the royal family. The treaty promised that the state would allocate 4 million taels of silver to the royal family every year for expenses, and also allowed Puyi to retain the right to continue to live in the Forbidden City after abdicating the throne.  In order to ensure the safety of the royal family, the Imperial Guard established by Aisin Gioro Zaifeng in 1908 was reorganized into an infantry division, and this force continued to be tasked with guarding the palace.

    The main intention of Yuan Shikai in signing this treaty was to end the civil war between the North and the South as soon as possible, so as to ensure the smooth transition of the country and establish the Republic of China.  Although Yuan Shikai also had a selfish desire to become president, analyzing the situation at the time, it was not an exaggeration for him to do so. He used the smallest agent to end the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, thus aligning the political trends of the country's north and south, and creating a basis for  He made great contributions to the founding of the Republic of China.

    But again, one thing often has pros and cons. Although preferential treatment was the best choice at the beginning, after the founding of the Republic of China, the purge became a destabilizing factor in the country.

    First, according to the treaty.  The state allocates 4 million taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty every year, which is worth up to 10 million yuan in today's silver dollars. It also allows the Qing Dynasty to retain a regular infantry division to guard the palace.

    Secondly, as a constitutional democratic government, the Republic of China had a president, a prime minister, and two houses of Congress, but there was actually a small imperial court in the center of the capital.

    Three, because of the above two reasons.  Some Manchu remnants, old and young, are still dreaming of restoration. Those who refuse to move forward in accordance with the world trend, but want to reverse course, believe that as long as the emperor is still in the Forbidden City, maybe the Manchu Qing Dynasty can one day come back to life.

    "You guessed it right, but although it has something to do with the person inside, it was not caused by him." Chen Guofu nodded and said that since Fang Zida became the Prime Minister, the supervision and control of the purge was a bit stricter than before.  .  These tasks were specifically handed over to the Security Bureau, and Fang Zida also established an agency to protect cultural relics and human heritage in the name of the State Council. This agency would register all items in the Forbidden City, even every plant and tree, to prevent  The loss of a national treasure.

    Of course, this measure was strongly opposed by the person inside, but in the end, the government finally bowed its head and agreed after threatening to cancel the preferential treatment for house cleaning.  Because Fang Zida¡¯s measures were implemented effectively, coupled with strict supervision and management.  In the original history, Puyi colluded with his brothers to steal cultural relics and treasures from the palace in the name of imperial gifts, and even some eunuchs and maids followed suit, which was effectively controlled.

    It eliminates the possibility of stealing cultural relics.  The Security Bureau has also not relaxed its other supervision on cleaning rooms.  Especially in the past, there was a situation where some old people and young people secretly connected together by taking advantage of the so-called second revolution in the south. In this incident, Jin Jiu also played an important role, so that their conspiracy was extinguished before it was implemented.

    "The government declared war on Soviet Russia, and some people started to make moves again. In recent days, the old and young people who stayed in Beijing had frequent private contacts. Together with these people, there were also some Manchus from the Northeast, and even Outer Mongolia.  Several princes in the country were also involved. According to intelligence, there was a woman in the Northeast who was the key to it. This woman was young, but her identity was not simple. It was said that she was the daughter of Prince Su Shanqi. As for Outer Mongolia, there was also  One, according to the investigation, is also a member of the royal family, named Ganzhurzabu."

    "Prince Su's daughter? Mongolian prince Kangyurzabu?" Jin Jiu frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. Prince Su has many children. It's possible that he has a daughter in the northeast. As for  This Mongolian prince knows the details better, but since he has a name, it¡¯s good that you can always find out if you ask someone.¡±

    "You don't need to go check it out, so as not to alert the enemy. Someone will do this kind of thing naturally." Chen Guofu raised his hand and waved at him, and continued: "I secretly called you here today, firstly for the Qinshi matter.  From now on, the serviceman will be your assistant, and you should take care of him in your work. Secondly, for what I just said, the capital is a mixed bag, and those old and young have many eyes and ears. Although our Security Bureau is a confidential unit, sometimes it  You can't hide it from some thoughtful people. Lao Jin, you were in specialYou are in a new place, you have rich work experience, you are a Manchurian, and you have not been in Beijing these years. Not many people in Beijing know your true identity.  Don¡¯t go to the northwest again when you come back this time. I will send someone to take over the work there.  And you will hide your identity from today on, help me monitor their every move from the inside, and figure out whether there are shadows of other forces behind them.  As for the usual contact, it will be at this place. Everything will be in single-line contact between Qinshi and you to ensure safety.  "

    At this time, Jin Jiu completely understood Chen Guofu¡¯s true intention of inviting him here.  This was not much different from what he had done before, and no one knew that he was the one who told the secret. What's more, he was originally a Manchu, and his connections in Beijing were still there. He had been away from Beijing for more than a year.  Almost no one knows the details.  Indeed, as Chen Guofu said, he is the best person to do this.

    After thinking about it, Jin Jiu was still a little worried and asked: "After the Secret Service was disbanded, no one knew that I was in the Security Bureau. But one time I went to a banquet with some old friends wearing a military uniform. I was worried about them.  It reminds me of my identity"

    "Have you told these people your true identity?"

    "This probably doesn't exist, I still know about the confidentiality system." Jin Jiu recalled and shook his head.

    Chen Guofu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. As long as you don't reveal your true identity, wearing a military uniform means nothing. It's the Republic of China now, and there are many Manchus serving as officers in the National Defense Force. Besides, if they really want to rise up,  Well, your identity can also bring a lot of convenience to work."

    Jin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "That's true, but the issue of identity still needs to be rounded off, and this has to be handled by the bureau chief."

    Chen Guofu nodded in agreement, then turned to Chen Lifu and said: "From now on, you will serve as the liaison between me and Lao Jin. If there is any information to be delivered, everything will be handled in accordance with the rules and regulations. There is no need to go to the bureau anymore, so as not to have to work for you.  Cause unnecessary trouble."

    "Now that you understand the situation, you can rest assured." Chen Lifu agreed immediately, and specifically called his eldest brother by his official position. Chen Guofu nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied with his younger brother's understanding and attitude.
