    But Cai E did not give up. If he wanted to suffer less losses in the future battle against Yuan, Fengtian's role was undoubted.  In the area around the capital, the only one that could pose a threat to the Beiyang Army was Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division outside the Pass. Otherwise, with Lao Yuan's IQ, why would he favor General Fengtian so much?  There are many people who are stronger than him: Jilin General Meng Enyuan and Heilongjiang General Xu Lanzhou are both heavily armed. Even Feng Delin from Fengtian Province is not an easy person to deal with, but Lao Yuan has only been wary of Zhang Zuolin since the Republic of China.  Although I despise his "vulgarity" from the bottom of my heart.  Lao Yuan's vision is very good.

    Cai E doesn¡¯t believe in any words of ¡°persuading progress¡± because most of the politicians¡¯ words on the surface are untrustworthy, and isn¡¯t he just being conceited?  There has always been no news inside and outside the customs. To find out what Zhang Zuolin really meant, we had no one to ask. Now, Young Master Zhang is here!  Judging from Zhang Hanqing's performance some time ago, there is no doubt that he is a standard dandy, but this is good, because he can ask for some truth.

    "I am the only one who follows the horse's lead", is it because I once agreed with the imperial system, Zhang Zuolin cited me as a comrade, so we expressed our stance to advance and retreat together?  Or does he know my heart well and wants to lie dormant with me and then raise a flag of rebellion?  You have to weigh this carefully. I have never interacted with that old man from Fengtian, and I haven't had much friendship with him.  Maybe this is just a scene.

    He really didn¡¯t expect that this was just Zhang Hanqing¡¯s casual conversation.  In fact, in Zhang Zuolin's eyes, no matter how famous Cai E is, he is just a has-been empty-headed general. He is nothing after leaving Yunnan, so he will not let Zhang Hanqing deliberately set up a friendship with him.  At this time, Lao Zhang's eyes were fixed on the powerful figures in the cabinet around Yuan Shikai.

    General Cai pretended to be delighted, "Oh? Does Brother Yuting also fully agree with the restoration of the monarchy?" He patted his head: "By the way, Brother Yuting just published it in the newspaper a few days ago, and he is extremely loyal to the president.  The sun is shining brightly. Look at my memory, hahaha."

    ?????????????? He laughed, and with the righteousness on his face that he could not pretend to be, Zhang Hanqing was speechless for a while: "Young man, you still want to fight with me? I have seen through your whole life, and you still pretend?"

    The advantage of being an experienced person gave Zhang Hanqing the upper hand in the conversation from the beginning. He was too lazy to conduct useless tests with Cai E and said with a smile: "If Uncle Shi wants to know how much support my father will give to President Yuan in the next step, one thing will become clear right away.  You know. However, the nephew knows that Uncle Shi is not here to ask his father how to flatter President Yuan! The nephew can also assure Uncle Shi that his father's true mentality is the same as Uncle Shi's. He asked the nephew to stay in Beijing.  "Uncle Weishi is following his lead, but it's not just a whim!"

    Seeing Cai E's surprised expression, he really hated the hypocritical probing from both sides, so Zhang Hanqing had to make it clear: "Uncle Shi, let's stop hiding it and open the skylight and speak openly. What do you think of me, nephew?"  You know, are you just here to test my father¡¯s attitude towards the president becoming emperor? Just one sentence: I disapprove! If uncle Shi takes action in the future, my father will definitely respond from the north!"

    Even though General Cai had such a strong aura, he was frightened to death by the few words spoken by the young man in front of him.  It took him a while to calm down, and he said without confidence: "Nonsense!"

    "Constitutional monarchy has become the general trend, and there are unanimous voices of approval at home and abroad. Your father and I both issued statements on the current situation some time ago, both of which support the monarchy. How can national affairs be trivial? How can you, a kid, just mess around?  You said that?" I originally wanted to find an opportunity to deceive this "Fengtian young man", but he was shocked to the point of being blown away by him.  Since ancient times, there has been no room for mistakes in this kind of chaos. Once you fall into the trap of espionage and espionage, there will be no recovery.

    General Cai still seems to be worried about this young man. After all, he is not able to do things well with his words.  "I don't know what Fengjun's superiors and subordinates think about it. I guess they are pretty much the same. After I go back, I have to grow a beard no matter what - I don't know when the downy hair will turn into a beard? Old people envy young people, and young people sometimes  But you need to pretend to be worldly, what's wrong with this world?" Zhang Hanqing thought with self-pity.

    "But the big liar in front of me really doesn't have the talent for liar. When his trump card is exposed, his vicious look is revealed. This person is too unprofessional as an actor. Even a decent reprimand is ineffective.

    Zhang Hanqing added fuel to the fire and said: "Since Uncle Shi refuses to have a heart-to-heart talk, Xueliang cannot continue to talk in detail. However, it is necessary to remind Uncle Shi that the 'ice drinking room' is not a safe place and will lead to disaster in the long run."

    With just one word, Cai E's color changed drastically.  He stared directly at Zhang Hanqing and asked in shock: "How did Hanqing know?"

    "Ice Drinking Room" refers to the place where Liang Qichao settled in Tianjin, located at No. 25 Xima Road.  Because the concession was once considered a safer place.  Here, General Cai E often came to Tianjin on the pretext of seeking medical treatment, and met his mentor Liang Qichao in the "old residence" building.To fight against Yuan's plan.  They secretly agreed that if things went wrong, Liang would promote public opinion and denounce Yuan's traitor, while Cai would launch a war to protect the country and crush Yuan's dream.

    This is an extremely secret matter. Only the master and the apprentice are involved. Cai E simply does not believe that Zhang Hanqing knows this secret.  But now that Zhang Hanqing has revealed this place, there is really no need to hide the matter!  He always thought that what he did was secret. Zhang Zuolin was far away from the customs, but he knew his whereabouts well. It seemed that he had a big plan.  But how did he find out?

    Until this time, Cai E still firmly believed that Zhang Zuolin had his own source of intelligence and just confessed his secret to Zhang Hanqing.

    In fact, Zhang Hanqing only relied on his "prophecy" to know this place.  After realizing that he was being used as a "proton", he took the trouble to consider ways to escape in the future.  It can be used as a reference and I am familiar with the routine. It is no wonder that "Cai E and Xiao Fengxian", the countless wild history legends that have had a great influence on later generations, has also been filmed with the same name. Who is acting with whom?  Well, it doesn't matter.

    The important thing is to know that there is a person like Cai E and such a thing.  At that time, Cai E and Liang Qichao, masters and disciples, were both literary and military, and they responded to each other from the north to the south. The small study room "Drinking Ice Room" where this movement was planned became truly the birthplace of the movement against Yuan Huguo that broke out in Yunnan and then spread across the country.

    Zhang Zuolin and his son were outside the customs and had plans, so they paid close attention to the developments within the customs, especially in Beijing and Tianjin. Therefore, it was inevitable to arrange some people in Beijing and Tianjin, just like the Beijing offices in various places in later generations.  In this way, there would usually be someone to tell me about some big or small things in Beijing, so the place would not be left in the dark.

    How could Zhang Hanqing not pay attention to such a big thing as Cai E's rebellion against Yuan?  Before coming to Beijing, Zhang Hanqing paid special attention to the movements of the two civil and military generals Liang Qichao and Cai E through his father.  Calculating mentally but not intentionally, he followed the clues and dug out Liang Qichao's lair.

    Of course, Zhang Hanqing will definitely not tell Cai E about this. It¡¯s better to let him keep questions - there is definitely a difference between being treated as a pawn and being taken seriously.  Moreover, it is very satisfying to have General Cai, who is famous all over the world, have a sense of mystery about him, and it also increases the weight and influence of his words.  He said pretentiously: "Since my father wants me to be on the same page as Uncle Shi, how can Xueliang keep up if I don't even know where Uncle Shi usually goes?"

    "what do you know"?

    "I know everything"!

    The two said nothing more, just looking at each other blankly.

    General Cai's heart felt like a five-flavor bottle had been turned over. The respectful young man in front of him seemed to be able to see his trump card clearly.  It seems that people say that heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times, and this is true.  Of course, he didn't realize that he was once one of those young people who failed.

    "However, Cai E is worthy of being a strong general among thousands of troops, and he quickly got out of the unfavorable situation.  He said openly: "In this case, it will be more convenient for everyone to talk. Although my father and I are not old friends, we have met several times. I just heard from Han Qing that Brother Yuting is opposed to the implementation of a constitutional monarchy and is also a member of the same group.  Man. Is it just that Father thinks that the situation is really out of control?"

    Zhang Hanqing nodded without thinking and said: "That's true. The president has been preparing for more than a year or two to be the emperor. Since the success of the revolution, he has become the president of both the north and the south, and his power has become uncontrollable. By the beginning of last year, even  The last fig leaf of the dictatorship, the National Assembly, was also dissolved. Later, it used the shameful excuse that "the people abused their freedom to cook and the people's political understanding is still in their infancy" to abolish the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China. In May last year  The new "Constitution of the Republic of China" was introduced and the cabinet system was changed to a presidential system. Later, the presidential election law was revised so that the president could be re-elected indefinitely and the new president was appointed by the sitting president."

    He said leisurely: "The Yuan family has been able to act as president, and just like this, the wind of constitutional monarchy can still be blown. Now that the rumor has spread and become stronger, it means that this is by no means groundless!"

    All this is the same as Cai E¡¯s judgment.  The reason why I still ask this is to confirm Fengtian Zhang Zuolin¡¯s knowledge.  The matter was serious and he did not dare to take it lightly.  However, seeing this young master pretending to be cool, he still felt a little admiration in his heart: "Zhang Zuolin, a bandit leader, could give birth to such an extraordinary son. It is really incredible." He was interested in taking the exam for Zhang Hanqing, and asked slowly: "What does my nephew think?  Can President Yuan do this?"

    Zhang Hanqing spat lightly and said with a smile: "This is a prelude to committing suicide. How is he, the great president, any different from the emperor? He still has to go through all the trouble like this, insisting on tearing everyone's face off! The Republic of China has come to this end  Now, there is no room for reversing the course of history. Now President Yuan Da is still in control of the situation, just because the evil deeds have not yet been done, and all parties are waiting to see what happens. There is a saying, "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble."  Before usurping the throne, if he died now, he would still be able to retain his reputation. After all, he was still the first president of China, and the Chinese people have always been very tolerant of this first."

    "But when he raised the banner of the emperor, the subsequent situation was definitely beyond his control. At least Xueliang knew that as long as Uncle Shi was around, the president would not have a good life. My father was also working hard outside the Pass.  , and prepare to eliminate this problem for the country in the future."
