In the Changchun Garden of Zhongnanhai, the lights were brightly lit and figures were swaying. Yuan Shikai sat high on the stage, and the small tables on both sides were filled with a variety of exquisite dishes. A team of kabuki actors sang and danced, and their thin clothes were faintly visible.
You can see smooth skin and graceful figure.
Ma Xingkong sat on Yuan Shikai's left hand side. According to the ancient etiquette, left is the top. Ma Xingkong was Yuan Shikai's biggest guest today. Not to mention that there were many people here today. In addition to a few of Yuan Shikai's confidants, such as Cao Kun,
In addition to Feng Guozhang, some gentry from the capital and even great Confucians like Yan Fu also participated.
After an explicit dance, Yuan Shikai raised his wine glass high: "You are all loyal ministers and good generals of our empire. Tonight is New Year's Eve. I will take this opportunity to drink a little wine to wish you good health! Please!"
Yuan Shikai drank it all in one gulp, and everyone in the audience congratulated each other and also drank. Ma Xingkong noticed that in such a big gathering, there was no Prince Yuan Kewen. Could it be that Yuan Kewen was also dissatisfied with his father's actions, which caused Yuan Shikai to express his dissatisfaction.
He was also on guard. He didn't see the scar he wanted to see.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the banquet really got into the theme after sending the servants. Yuan Shikai suddenly burst into tears. Everyone was puzzled and hurriedly tried to persuade them. After crying for a long time, Yuan Shikai sighed: "I miss myself."
When I came to run the new army, I first served the Qing Dynasty, but was suspected of cutting off my military power and working at home. I worked hard for the Republic of China, but those in the south always regarded me as a thorn in their side. Now for the future of China, I am being
As a great thief who stole the country, if I die, I will be infamy for thousands of years! Alas!"
Someone in the audience said: "Your Majesty has a clear conscience, and we all can see it. History will absorb misunderstandings for your Majesty, and restore your majesty's reputation in the next life!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Everyone echoed.
As he talked, he talked about the various shortcomings of the deposed prince Yuan Keding. Cao Kun said: "The eldest son disregarded the etiquette of father and son, monarch and minister, and intended to murder your majesty. Now he has been placed under house arrest by your majesty. Your majesty is kind and does not want the eldest son to be harmed. I hope
If the eldest son can seriously reflect on it, you can go and persuade him if you have time, so that the eldest son can rein in the situation and turn back as soon as possible!"
Cao Kun looked at some of the gangster leaders sitting in the last seats, and then said: "I hope you can see the current situation clearly and not do anything that is not conducive to His Majesty and the Chinese Empire!" Suddenly Cao Kun turned his head and faced Ma Xingkong.
Said: "Mr. Ma, do you think so?"
Ma Xingkong, Long Jie, and Hei Wa sat silently. Cao Kun asked himself, what must he say? Putting down his chopsticks, Ma Xingkong said: "I am a rough man, and I don't understand any national affairs. As long as it is beneficial to me,
I will do whatever it takes! Maybe this sentence sounds uncomfortable, but ordinary people and dignitaries should all agree with it in their hearts!"
Because of Ma Xingkong's words, the atmosphere of the banquet plummeted, and many people looked at Ma Xingkong with disdain. Yuan Shikai chuckled: "You have insight! Come, let's drink another drink to our Chinese Empire!"
Picking up the wine glass, the music started playing, and another pair of dancers with hot bodies, veils covering their bodies, and budding babies filed in. They performed various challenging movements in response to the fast and slow music. This is
The life of an emperor, no wonder everyone wants to be an emperor. The emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and so many beauties by his side. It is difficult to live long.
Scholars and scholars were good friends, but the officers and gangsters could no longer restrain themselves. They commented on each of the dancers performing in the venue, opening their eyes to their maximum size, and tearing their eyelids apart if they went any further.
The lead dancer among this group of dancers is a woman of about twenty years old. This woman's face can be described as a monster. Wu Jing's beauty is pure and pure, and after seeing it, I feel like I am worshiping her.
This woman, as soon as she saw a man, she wanted to take him as her own. There were attractive highlights all over her body.
Yuan Shikai was also fascinated by it. He turned to Ma Xingkong next to him and said: "His name is Rose. She is one of the most beautiful women in the capital. Anyone who can spend time with her and beautiful scenery is her favorite. I see her looking at Brother Ma frequently."
,presumably……"
Ma Xingkong smiled and shook his head: "My wife is ten times more beautiful than her!" Yuan Shikai was stunned, then laughed.
At the moment when Yuan Shikai laughed wildly, Rose took out a dagger from somewhere with a spinning movement, flipped her wrist, and went straight to Yuan Shikai's throat. Ma Xingkong saw it clearly and pushed hard.
He leaned back and almost fell off his dragon chair.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the dagger was inserted into the dragon's head in the middle of the dragon chair, half an inch in. Before anyone else could react, Rose turned around, and two more daggers flew towards Yuan Shikai.
The other one went straight towards Ma Xingkong. Ma Xingkong dodged the dagger.
Cao Kun drew his sword and knocked down the dagger flying towards Yuan Shikai, shouting loudly: "Catch her! Catch her!"
There were many officers in the hall, and they all flew forward regardless of their lives. Long Jie and Hei Wa also wanted to rush, but were stopped by Ma Xingkong. Rose saw that after throwing three daggers but still failed, she turned around and ran out the door. The officers
He immediately chased her out, shouting: "Catch her!"
It was freezing cold, Rose was wearing nothing, and a large group of soldiers were chasing her. There was no hiding place in Zhongnanhai, which was so big. Rose easily broke the branches of the dead trees on the roadside, and swung them backwards, hitting several soldiers in the end. Ma Xing
Kong had also practiced boxing and kicking. He had heard from Shitou that it was not possible for ordinary people to do such kung fu as rose. It would not be possible without hard training.
More and more people were chasing him. Yuan Shikai ordered not to shoot. He wanted to capture anyone alive and find out who else wanted his life besides Yuan Keding. All the security forces in Zhongnanhai were mobilized. Cao Kun commanded on the spot with a command knife: "Go with one company."
Go to the east, the second company to the west, the third company to the south, the fourth company to the north, see how he escapes! If I can’t catch you, you don’t have to come back!”
The terrain of Zhongnanhai is complex, and people who come here for the first time can easily get lost. Standing with Cao Kun in the sentry tower on the top floor of Changchun Garden, watching a group of people chasing something like a cunning rabbit on the snow, moving east and west
.This rose is very familiar with the terrain. Whether it is a rockery, a wooden bridge or two seas, he can avoid it in time.
Cao Kun yelled angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Ma Xingkong led Long Jie and Hei Wa down from the tower quietly. None of the three people said a word, and followed Ma Xingkong through Changchun Garden and around to
There was a small garden at the back. When he was on the sentry tower, Ma Xingkong could see clearly that there were many rockeries built here in the entire garden, which could not be seen from above. Since Rose was so familiar with the environment here, she must have known about it.
here.
Rose had just turned around the rockery when a strong arm hugged her neck, and the other hand twisted and grabbed Rose's other hand. She was restrained and struggled a few times to no avail.
Effect. Someone whispered in his ear: "Follow me!"
