Years of the Republic of China 1913

"Is the news true?"

Fang Zida put down the information in his hand and asked. Standing in front of him was Chen Guofu, director of the Security Bureau. Just a few days after the gathering in Tianjin, Jin Jiu sent this information to the Security Bureau through channels. When this information came into Chen Guofu's hands, he did not dare to delay at all, and immediately reported it to Fang Zida.

"Return to the Prime Minister, the information has been confirmed!"

Chen Guofu replied respectfully, having worked under Fang Zida for a long time, he knew very well that Fang Zida didn't like to hear ambiguous words such as "maybe", "possible", "or", "probably", "basically", and so on. No, so when Fang Zida confirmed it to him, he answered without hesitation.In his opinion, the reliability of this information is still very high, because not only Jin Jiu's direct report, but also he has obtained similar information through other intelligence channels of the Security Bureau. The mutual testimony of the two is enough to prove this information authenticity.

From the end of the party to the delivery of the information, there were several days.It wasn't that Jin Jiu was negligent, it was actually the Japanese and Yoshiko Kawashima who deliberately detained the people present.Its intention is also obvious, of course it is to ensure confidentiality and avoid leaking information.In order to send out the information safely, Jin Jiu took a lot of effort. Fortunately, he prepared several sets of plans before going to the party, and he almost exposed himself like this. Fortunately, everything went well, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble up.

As Jin Jiu's assistant, Chen Lifu, this time also broke into the opponent's interior with Jin Jiu in the name of Jin Jiu's nephew. With the cooperation of Chen Lifu, Jin Jiu was able to successfully complete the task.Now, Chen Guofu instructs them to continue lurking and minimize contact with the outside world, except when necessary.

After reading the information, Fang Zida was slightly angry. Little Japan and these old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were simply audacious.He actually thought of kidnapping or even assassinating Puyi, and even planned to recruit the three highest-ranking members of the royal family.Such an approach is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is crazy. In order to achieve the goal, Dorominda Belle Yulang was shot dead at the party and the attendees were detained.Once this kind of thing gets out, it would be strange if the Bannermen didn't mobilize and attack.

However, Fang Zida would not make such a move. For him, it is better to resolve this matter than not to resolve it at all.Due to the political reasons and social status at the time of Manchu abdication, a large number of Manchus harbored hatred for the Republic of China. This situation is like a sick person with a tumor on his body. Although this tumor does not affect this person for the time being life, but once the disease occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.

After solving the Soviet Union.Fang Zida's next main target is Japan, as well as those Manchus in China who are trying to restore.Only when this problem is completely dealt with, can the following countries move forward with a healthy attitude and no worries.

To be honest, Puyi is just a young man who doesn't know the meaning of sorrow, and the biological father Zaifeng and uncle Zaitao of the last emperor are also two people who keep their own place.These two high-ranking and powerful princes now thank guests behind closed doors, only indulging in calligraphy, painting, piano and opera, completely giving up the idea of ​​​​restoration.at this point.It can be seen from the fact that they were invited this time and Yuhui was rejected, and even a representative was not sent.For these three special people.Fang Zida didn't have the idea of ​​killing them all. On the contrary, he encouraged them very much. If all the Manchus were like this, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the world.

If Fang Zida didn't make a move, it didn't mean he would stop the Japanese and Yoshiko Kawashima from making a move, and he was going to contribute to it.Quietly help them.There is a proverb in the West that if God wants to make it perish, he must first make it crazy.If it weren't for the madness of their gang, what reason could Fang Zida find to catch them all?

But then again, Puyi absolutely can't have an accident.Neither kidnapping nor assassination should ever happen.Once something happens to Puyi, it will be a major blow to the prestige of the Republic of China government. Once the opponent makes a fuss about it, the situation will get out of control and slip into an unpredictable side.

As for Zai Feng and Zai Tao, at least one of them must be kept. Only in this way can everything be under control.Moreover, Fang Zida also decided that no matter who it is, he will never be allowed to leave the capital alive. He wants to provoke civil strife among the Manchus, and he will use this opportunity to find a reasonable excuse to solve Japan.

After careful consideration, Fang Zida asked Chen Guofu to rearrange the defense of the Forbidden City. From today onwards, the Security Bureau will be responsible for the safety of the palace.And Zai Feng and Zai Tao also need to send people to closely monitor, and instruct Chen Guofu to disclose some information to the two princes if necessary, because Fang Zida believes that both of them are smart people, and how to choose should not make him feel uncomfortable. disappointment.

Chen Guofu left quickly, and Zhou Yuanliang, who received a call shortly after he left, hurried over.

Compared with the Security Bureau, the Zhou Yuanliang Intelligence Bureau has a larger network, but it only focuses on foreign intelligence networks.Fang Zida had a detailed talk with Zhou Yuanliang in the office for an hour. As for what was discussed in detail, no one knew except the two of them, not even Yang Yongtai, the formal director of the Intelligence Bureau, everything was top secret.

In early March, it was already spring, and the weather in Beijing was no longer as cold as in the twelfth lunar month.

Along the northern edge of Houhai, there is a large-scale house here. It used to be the younger brother of Mingzhu, a scholar in the early Qing Dynasty. To Prince Chun Yizhen, became Prince Chun Beppu.Later, it was believed that Emperor Guangxu was born in the original Wangfu in Xicheng, and after Guangxu succeeded to the throne, the original Wangfu became a hidden residence, and Houhaibei along Beppu became the new Chunwangfu, which continues to this day.

This palace now houses Prince Zaitao, the biological father of the deposed emperor Puyi, and several brothers and sisters of Puyi also live here.Although the Qing dynasty has abdicated, the Prince Chun’s Mansion is still majestic and imposing on the surface, but the helpless twilight of the old dynasty can be felt from the faded rich gates and the peeling wall skin at the corners.

In the early years, in places like this, ordinary pedestrians were absolutely forbidden to come and go in front of the street, let alone small merchants and hawkers. Even if someone passed by, they were not allowed to stay nearby, otherwise there would be guards The guards of the palace came to take people aggressively.But now, Manchu has abdicated early in the morning, and the former palace has lost its glory. Now there is no one guarding the palace except an old man in his 60s and a few loyal slaves. The street in front of it has also become a bustling place with people coming and going, and after a long time, it has attracted many small traders doing business, setting up stalls and courteously attracting customers.

Some of these vendors sell food, some sell toys, and some sell handicrafts... People who go to Houhai often stop here for a while when they pass by. Chatting on the street or something.

The same is true today. As the weather gradually warms up, a group of university students have just returned from playing in Houhai.When passing by here, a few college students sat down in front of a stall selling soybean juice, each ordered a bowl of soybean juice and laughed and talked while drinking.

"Boss! Here are three more bowls!"

"Hey! Come on...!"

After a reply, a nimble little boss came forward with three bowls of bean juice and put them one by one on a small table built with rough wood.After serving the bean juice, he greeted the guests with a smile, "You guys have a drink..." Then he helped wipe the table with the dishcloth he brought, and then turned back to the back of the stall.

From the appearance of this boss, he looked no different from the ordinary people around him. He was wearing a gray and black cotton coat and a cotton hat on his head.

However, when he turned back to the booth, a pair of eyes hidden under the brim of his hat quietly lifted up, and his piercing eyes were looking at the gate of Prince Chun's Mansion diagonally opposite.This person is actually not a small businessman, but a staff member of the Security Bureau, and this person was once the apprentice of the famous Wang Jiuguang, the same Gu Shunzhang who led to Wang Jiuguang's arrest.
