Rong Yuan somewhat believed in Zhang Hanqing's words, but also somewhat disbelieved them.
In terms of status among the Manchus, because of the Queen's relationship, it is indeed rising. But she couldn't bear to be born in troubled times, and the title of the last queen was not popular in the Republic of China government: Prince Chun Zaifeng, who was more powerful and more prestigious than him, and the biological father of the current Emperor Xuantong, was thanking guests behind closed doors, and he alone What kind of virtue and ability does the fallen father-in-law have to hope for a comeback?
But Zhang Hanqing¡¯s words moved him a little. He has always been dissatisfied with all the propaganda about the power of Congress. Will this kind of institution, supported by the government and the military, surpass the government and become the country's largest legislative body, thereby constraining the government? Unthinkable.
The history of what the previous governments did to gain control of the first Congress, which caused turmoil in China for more than ten years, is still vivid in our minds. It was only three years ago that Sun Yat-sen announced that it was no longer appropriate to use the name of "protecting the law". , and then another nearly three-year congressional hiatus. One can imagine how difficult it is to establish a real parliament in China! How fragile is that MP¡¯s seat!
But the signal to decentralize power was made by the People¡¯s Party itself. In any case, being able to obtain such a seat is quite good for him: whether it is useful or not, it is a good opportunity and a sign to move closer to the People's Party. Zhang Hanqing has extended an olive branch to him. If he doesn't grasp it, he will be a political imbecile.
It seems that the title of "Emperor's Father" has been put into the garbage heap. If he changes his title, it would be a good way to keep the family's prosperity.
Considering that your family is the benchmark of "national relatives", will it have any impact on the queen? Moreover, would accepting this proposal mean betrayal of the royal family? After all, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by the Republic of China, even though this Republic of China was not that Republic of China.
He said with some hesitation: "I am getting older. I have never done anything beneficial to the country in my life. After the changes of the Republic of China, I no longer have the intention to participate in political affairs. There are many Manchu nobles, including the young marshal. Why do you want to find me?"
Zhang Hanqing secretly shouted in his heart: "If it weren't for the Queen's reputation, who would have nothing to do with you? Isn't this for the sake of easy travel in the future?"
A smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Rong is so humble. The country needs people like him who can not only serve the society but also maintain a modest and prudent work attitude. There are many nobles in the Qing Dynasty, but people like Mr. Rong are sensible and sensible." There are not many people with prestige. We use the banner of sir to promote that Manchu and Han are one family and build a beautiful China together."
After what happened yesterday, this is no longer a family.
It¡¯s hard for Rong Yuan to refuse: everyone praises him to the sky, so he has to know good from evil. However, it happened too suddenly. What he couldn't understand was that there were many Manchus who were more important and influential than him. How could the young marshal find him?
Years of political training naturally made him think of Puyi: "Sincerity is highly valued by the two old and young marshals, Rong is proud of it. However, when it comes to winning over bannermen, wouldn't it be better to have one of them now?" Before he took office, he had already put himself in the court.
Wu Junsheng became interested: "Who is it?"
"The current emperor. If the emperor raises his arms, what else can the Eight Banners say? Aren't they just going to follow the emperor's lead?"
Zhang Hanqing was shocked. Yes, just thinking about "reforming" the queen, I forgot to let the emperor receive an education.
In history, Puyi committed such a serious crime. After being imprisoned for ten years, Mao Zedong even made him a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This is a judgment call! Considering the political symbolic significance, he can be put on the table decades later. It has only been ten years since the Qing Dynasty fell. If he is used properly, this chess piece will be quite useful.
He immediately became interested: Senators and Representatives are actual duties, and he must not be allowed to do so. How about making him an honorary senator? Treating him favorably like this shows the care for the old and young of the Qing Dynasty, and also represents the attitude towards the entire royal family. There is also an explanation internationally, right? The next step is to expel him from the palace. Since he has become an honorary senator, he is not suitable to live in the palace.
Why on earth can¡¯t honorary senators live in the palace? He didn't have to think too hard, there was always a way. He nodded and said, "Mr. Yongrong is indeed right. We can hire the emperor to serve as an honorary senator in the Senate."
Originally it was just a whim to make the queen look good, but it inadvertently solved a difficult problem: As a "holy place" in the hearts of the people, what does it mean that the palace is always occupied by Puyi and others? There are no two suns in the sky and no two masters on the earth. Zhongnanhai is the center and symbol of China¡¯s power! Just driving the emperor out of the palace would cause some psychological turmoil in society. Now it's fine, everything is solved.
Wu Junsheng also thought it was feasible: "I am the chairman of the National Assembly. If Puyi enters the National Assembly, wouldn't he be under my jurisdiction?"??
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thinking that at the end of the day, he is still able to take care of the emperor, is he not too great an emperor? Feeling proud, he immediately agreed and said, "This is a good idea." "
As for what¡¯s good about it, I don¡¯t know. Anyway, I just follow the Young Marshal¡¯s lead.
Rong Yuan was extremely happy when he saw that his idea was readily adopted. It has been rumored for a long time that the government of the Republic of China was going to drive Puyi out of the palace. It would not be that his son-in-law, the emperor, would be living in poverty, but his original prominent status would be lost to everyone.
Forget about anything else, like other princes and ministers, I would not hold on to Qian Qing's thigh, but it would be a pain for my daughter.
Now, Puyi will have a decent status, and his daughter will not be hindered, right?
Everyone got what they needed, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Then Zhang Hanqing noticed the child next to Rong Yuan: "Is this Mr. Runqi? I heard Wan Rong said that he is really cute!"
Rong Yuan only has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Runliang, unfortunately died of acute appendicitis last year because his family did not believe in Western medicine and delayed diagnosis and treatment. Only the 12-year-old son, Runqi, was raised at his grandmother's house since he was one year old. Now. The sister who loved him the most returned home, and he was brought back.
A rare distinguished guest came to visit, and Rong Yuan also brought him with him, mainly because he wanted to gain acquaintance with him.
Hearing Zhang Hanqing¡¯s compliment, Rong Yuan felt a surge of love in his heart: Whose kid would you love? However, it felt a bit strange that he mentioned Wanrong instead of the Queen so affectionately. In formal occasions, no matter who mentions Wanrong, they call her "Queen"!
But this thought only passed by in a flash. Who is the young marshal? He is now the most powerful person in China. The honor and disgrace of the emperor can be decided by his thoughts. What's more, does he need to respect a queen so much?
He smiled and pretended to be troubled and said: "It's Quanzi. He doesn't seek to make progress in his studies now, he plays all day long, and he doesn't know how to support the Rong family's family business in the future? Everyone, old and young, is still counting on him. Young Marshal If you praise him like this, don't try to hurt him!"
"It is a Chinese tradition to have a godson in the human world, and it is the king of heaven and the nobles, it is all like this.
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said to him sincerely: "Children of this age have always been very naughty. When I was this old, he was much more gentle than me. Later, my father really saw that I was naughty, so he hired I got some advice from Mr. Jin Xihou, the most famous scholar in Liaoning, and I have lived up to his teachings. If Mr. is interested, I can arrange for Runqi to enter No. 2 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, Chongshi, and Kongde. After all, these schools have famous teachers. I think Runqi is smart and perseverant, and as long as he has good conditions, he will definitely have great potential in the future."
No. 4 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School are both public schools, while Chongshi and Kongde are private schools, which are second to none in Beijing.
Like the No. 4 Middle School, it was established very early. Its predecessor was the "Shuntian Academy" in the late Qing Dynasty. It was a first-class famous school until the official history; the No. 2 Middle School was formerly the left-wing religious school of the Eight Banners of Manchuria;
Kongde Middle School later became No. 27 Middle School. Its original location was the Qing Dynasty clan mansion, and its honorary principal was Cai Yuanpei. As for Chongshi Middle School, it was run by the church and was quite good.
The reason why Zhang Hanqing was able to understand this despite his busy schedule is because several of his children have gone to elementary school one after another and they have put a lot of effort into choosing a school.
Unlike today¡¯s school selection, which requires a school district real estate certificate, household registration and other messy things, his school selection is really a school choice¡ª¡ªwith his background, which school to choose is not the glory of the school? He really is choosing a school!
It is convenient, safe and has a good academic style. One or two officials must not be born because of his status, so the public No. 4 middle school is the first choice. As for Huang Wanqing's two children, it's not his turn to worry: they are still young!
In that era, it was not easy to enter such a school, at least for a down-and-out noble like Rong Yuan in the new era. Zhang Hanqing's kindness really solved a major worry of Rong Yuan. He hurriedly thanked Zhang Hanqing: "Rong could only be grateful for the young marshal's thoughtfulness, so he accepted it with gratitude."
"It's just strange that the young marshal suddenly showed great courtesy to him. It seemed unnecessary: ??with his current status, as long as he ascended to the top and shouted, wouldn't the Eight Banners disciples obediently follow his baton? Showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, what kind of medicine is sold in the young marshal's gourd?
At this time, his wife came into the hall in person, greeted Wu Junsheng, Zhang Hanqing and their entourage cordially, and then greeted them attentively for a light meal. Since you are a guest, the host should treat guests the way they should. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the traditional Chinese saying "Have you eaten?" is also a popular saying among upper-class people.
Wu Junsheng said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm eating everywhere today, so I just want to be annoying to Mr. Rong."
But Rong Yuan didn¡¯t expect the old and young marshals to agree so simply. Originally, according to various legends, for the sake of safety, these state-level leaders were very particular about their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and would not easily accept banquets on unfamiliar occasions.
So he was overjoyed. This meal seemed like nothing, but it had extraordinary significance when told about it: no matter what the actual situation was, the outside world would think that he had a good personal relationship with the old and young marshals. Whether it's borrowing money or pretending to be a tiger, it will make him happy in many places in the future.
In an instant, the entire Rong Mansion became busy. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)I'm just a foodie, so let's just be annoying to Mr. Rong. "
