Expedition to Europe

When Tang Jiading was unwilling, Xu Shichang was also unwilling in his heart.

"Is that what Prince Chun said?" Xu Shichang asked his secretary with a bit of a fierce expression.

"Yes, what Prince Chun meant was that it was impossible. The Forbidden City was the private property left to the Aixinjueluo clan by the ancestors of the Aixinjueluo clan. Prince Chun would never let Puyi move out of the Forbidden City." The secretary had a bitter expression, but answered very affirmatively.

After Qin Zhiyuan's guidance, Xu Shichang was indeed determined to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City.

He had to drive him out, but what method to use was still under discussion. In Xu Shichang's opinion, if Puyi was willing to move out on his own initiative, that would be the best, and it would be acceptable for both the Aixinjueluo clan and the Beiyang government, so Xu Shichang sent someone to find Prince Chun to test the waters first.

"Let me tell you, it's useless to say all the good things. To deal with such old and young people, you have to be decisive and tough, and don't give them any chance to argue." Prime Minister Qin Yunpeng is still used to the military style.

"The Aisin-Gioro clan is still the royal family after all. The "Preferential Treatment Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" 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. This left enough excuses for Prince Chun and others. If we don't find a suitable reason, I'm afraid it won't be justified. After all, the "Preferential Treatment Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" also stipulates that "the title of the Qing emperor will remain and the Republic of China will treat him with the courtesy of foreign monarchs." If we forcibly expel them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get away with it." Shen Xiyi, a special adviser to the Presidential Office and a close friend of Xu Shichang, has many concerns.

"Alas, President Yuan was wise all his life, but he was indeed wrong in dealing with the Qing Dynasty." Qin Yunpeng had a grudge against Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai was indeed a shrewd person all his life, but he couldn't help but lose his integrity when he was old. He was also a person with mixed reputations.

"The situation at that time was special, and it's not entirely President Yuan's fault." Shen Xiyi could understand Yuan Shikai's difficulties.

Speaking of the "Treatment Conditions for the Qing Dynasty", it had a certain historical background when it was born, so although it seems a bit out of date now, to be honest, as long as people are sensible, they don't have too many complaints about 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 others to do better.

Of course, there are more problems of "people don't tear down when they are in trouble", and officials protect each other, which is a tradition in the Chinese world.

"It's meaningless to argue about this now. The key issue is how to get Puyi out of the Forbidden City." Xu Shichang has begun to call him by his name, and it seems that his patience with Puyi has reached its limit.

"This, if you don't use tough measures, it's difficult!" Qin Yunpeng used three "difficult" to describe the difficulty of this matter.

"It's not impossible." Shen Xiyi started thinking and fulfilled his duties as a consultant.

"Oh, sir, what's your trick, teach me quickly!" Xu Shichang was overjoyed.

Although Qin Yunpeng didn't say anything, the expectation in his eyes had already shown his attitude. If Puyi could be asked to leave the palace without any fuss, it would certainly be a good thing. Qin Yunpeng didn't want to make a big fuss about it, because that would not bring much glory to the Beiyang government.

"Isn't it said that most of the palaces in the Forbidden City have been in disrepair for a long time? Since they have been in disrepair for a long time, 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 let Prince Chun pay for the repair of those palaces in the Forbidden City that have been in disrepair for a long time. If Prince Chun doesn't want to pay for it, then we will pay for it." Shen Xiyi shook his head. If he had a feather fan in his hand, it would be more lively.

To repair the house, it must be a large-scale construction, so the Forbidden City will become a large construction site. If Puyi lives in the Forbidden City again at that time, it may not be appropriate.

Although it is no longer allowed to employ eunuchs in the current Forbidden City, there are still many eunuchs living in the palace. If you want to repair the house, you can't rely on those eunuchs. You must have professional craftsmen to have that skill.

Well, the repair these days is not just a simple renovation. It requires carving beams and painting pillars, and it is not good if the painting is not good-looking. It must be done by skilled craftsmen.

In this way, it is inevitable that many craftsmen will enter the Forbidden City. Craftsmen are the lowest class. If these rough people want to offend Emperor Xuantong, it will be very bad, so it is better to move out temporarily.

As long as Puyi can move out of the Forbidden City, it is another matter whether he can move back. It is possible that this repair will be repaired for decades.

"Okay, this plan is great. If Puyi really moves out of the Forbidden City, you should be the first credit." Xu Shichang praised generously.

"Haha, I don't deserve the first credit. It's just my job." Shen Xiyi was modest, and the pride in his eyes was well concealed.

A counselor is just a person who does this. He hides behind and gives advice, helps the owner solve problems, and so on. This is the value of a counselor.

"Then tomorrow, find a capable person to handle this matter. 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 does not want to endure it for a minute.

"It's easy. Let Feng Huanzhang go. He has long been dissatisfied with those Manchus. Feng Huanzhang has complained to me about those old and young people who are doing nothing and wandering around the capital." Qin Yunpeng can really find someone, and he is a celebrity.

Feng Huanzhang, formerly known as Feng Jishan, was from Qing County, Zhili. When Zhang Xun restored the throne, he led his troops into Beijing to defeat Zhang Xun, which led to the hasty end of Emperor Xuantong's restoration.

Feng Huanzhang was a Christian and was called "General Christ", so Feng Huanzhang was very disgusted with the imperial power and had asked Qin Yunpeng several times to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City.

"Feng Huanzhang, um, this person is not bad, let him go. If he succeeds, promotion is a piece of cake." Xu Shichang was a little too excited.

Even if Feng Huanzhang successfully completed the task, Xu Shichang had the right to promote Feng Huanzhang, but it was impossible to promote him.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, all hereditary nobility systems outside the scope of the "Regulations on the Treatment of the Qing Dynasty" were officially abolished.

Since then, during the "Xuantong Restoration" and Yuan Shikai's restoration, there were many nobility titles, but few people recognized them. After that, except for ethnic minority areas and religions, the nobility titles completely withdrew from the stage of history.

Of course, the Chinese people's hope for "promotion" has never diminished, especially the system of inherited titles, which is even more desirable.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

There are many calls to restore the title system in Beijing, but it has not been possible to obtain the majority consent in the Congress.

Well, the Congress of the Republic of China is also a peculiar thing. They not only cannot pass the proposal on titles, but they can hardly pass any proposal.

The Chinese people's yearning for power is really limitless. When the emperor was abolished, everyone felt that this time the people were finally in charge, so the president, prime minister, cabinet, Congress and so on all rushed to take office. The result was that each of them acted on their own and refused to give in to each other, and finally became a vanity fair for wrangling.

It may sound a bit sad, but in Chinese society, it is really not suitable to play Western-style democracy. Although many Chinese people oppose dictatorship in words, they still worship authority and the kind of dictatorial power in their hearts. Therefore, if democracy is promoted in the Chinese world, it will only lead to democracy turning into populism, and there is no other effect.

Yes, this has been confirmed by reality.

"Sending Feng Huanzhang to complete the mission is very likely, but according to Feng Huanzhang's temperament, he will probably be unconsciously rude, and our face will inevitably be damaged at that time." Shen Xiyi still had doubts.

"That's not worth it. We can't give up because of choking. Even if we bear a bad reputation, 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 citizens, it is worth it even if we bear this bad reputation. Besides, apart from those old and young people, how many people still remember Puyi? I'm afraid that if one bannerman scolds me, there will be ten civilians praising me." Xu Shichang has a good calculation.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were called "bannermen" and all other ethnic groups except the Manchus were called "civilians". This can be regarded as the government's version of "racial discrimination".

What Xu Shichang said is almost true. The capital city is no longer the same as when the Republic of China was first established. The lives of the old and young people are getting harder and harder, and their social influence is getting weaker and weaker. If Xu Shichang really used force to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, he would really win a lot of applause.

"It is also a problem to put Emperor Xuantong out of the Forbidden City. If he is placed too far away, it will inevitably be out of reach, creating opportunities for some people with ulterior motives, but if he is placed too close, it is estimated that he will collude with the old and young people in the capital, and trouble will still be inevitable." Shen Xiyi thought more and was also more realistic.

In the past history, it was Feng Huanzhang who drove Puyi out of the Forbidden City, and then Puyi went to Jingyuan in Tianjin, and then fled to the northeast and became the emperor of Manchukuo.

In this time and space, the Japanese are already busy with their own affairs and probably have no time to make trouble for the Republic of China, but they must be on guard against other people with ulterior motives, such as the British, Americans, and even some people in power in the Republic of China. These people may hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, which will inevitably cause endless harm.

"Simple, just put it in Prince Chun's mansion. If anything goes wrong, it will be a good opportunity to wipe it out." Qin Yunpeng was still ruthless and simply used the "joint responsibility" system.

The old and young people of the Qing Empire are headed by Puyi and his father, Prince Chun. If there is a chance, Qin Yunpeng doesn't mind catching them all in one fell swoop.

Yeah, speaking of Prince Chun, the Prince Chun's mansion is not small!
