    During the period when Zhang Hanqing was "cultivating himself" at Peking University, history still did not stop its process.  On November 25, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the National People's Congress in name only was held in each province.  Three days later, each province began voting to determine the state system.  Zhang Hanqing's cheap father, Zhang Zuolin, was also present at the Fengtian meeting, and the decision to establish a constitutional monarch was unanimously passed.

    When the conference was held, it was even more confusing.  The most interesting thing is that there are only four words "Constitutional Monarchy" printed on the ballot, and the representatives attending the meeting can only express their approval or opposition.  There were armed military police everywhere in and around the venue.  Delegates cannot whisper to each other or they will be yelled at.

    On November 30, voting nationwide basically ended.  On December 11, the Senate began to check votes.  The result of the vote check was that there were a total of 1,993 representatives in the country, and 1,993 people were in favor of constitutional monarchy. The vote was unanimously passed, with not a single opposing vote and not a single abstention.  In fact, if you think about it, if someone points a gun at your head, who would dare to vote against or abstain?

    Not only was the constitutional monarchy unanimously approved on the ballot, but the senators also received letters of recommendation from each province.  The most ridiculous thing is that in so many provinces across the country, the words on the endorsement books are exactly the same: "With the will of the people, I respectfully proclaim the current President Yuan Shikai as the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and entrust the emperor with the supreme and complete sovereignty of the country.  Heaven builds the ultimate, and it will be passed down to all generations.¡±

    These 45 simple words are word for word. Even people without any political experience can tell that someone has definitely done something behind the scenes.  Otherwise, how could people from so many provinces write down recommendations so uniformly?

    In fact, as early as October 23, Yuan Shikai¡¯s confidant Zhu Qiqian sent a secret telegram to all provinces. Regarding the content of the recommendation book, absolutely not a single word could be changed, and all provinces must write exactly the same.  However, the more this happens, the more Yuan Shikai's ambition to become emperor is exposed.

    On the 29th of the same month, the Shanghai French Concession patrol house seized the evening issue of the "Patriot News". The main writer Wang Xuehen was escorted to the "Interrogation Office" of the Judicial Office, and the publisher Jian Shu and others absconded.  In the same month, Guangzhou's "Notice" was banned for publishing news against the imperial system, and its chief writer Zhu Tongru was wanted.  This year, China¡¯s first Telecommunications Regulations involving radio and broadcasting regulations were also promulgated.  Speaking of which, this seems quite prophetic in its emphasis on cultural control. However, since this law was promulgated under the White Terror, its historical significance is greatly reduced.

    But there are people in the National People's Congress who are dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing: his father is one of the founders of the "National Petition Group" and the central figure and capable person who actually promoted the imperial system. In the hearts of anti-Yuan people, that is a very evil crime.  The father's debt was repaid by the son, and Zhang Hanqing was also taken into consideration, but he didn't know it.  Also, for a young man who is only fifteen years old, insisting on getting involved with politics, is he a bit overestimating his abilities?

    Everything seems to have nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing.  No matter how turbulent the wind is outside, I will remain unmoved.  In Beijing, without General Cai there, Zhang Hanqing also kept a low profile for a while. He went to class on weekdays, watched theater or music with Red Peony on weekends, and laughed and teased beauties in the air conditioner. In this way, our Shaoshuai Zhang also spent a period of boredom.  It¡¯s such a pleasant day to enjoy the fragrance and greenery.

    "However, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves caring about us.  Zhang Hanqing's low-profile during this period cannot change his high-profile performance some time ago. In just a few months, he beat up Duan Qirui's nephew Duan Hongye for a woman, refuted Yuan Keding's face for his temperament Yuan Kewen, and made plans to make a fortune.  Yang Du stabbed himself and broke into a brothel in order to defile himself.  If all these are not enough to be beaten, then he advocated for the imperial system and finally allowed the imperial system to be realized legally. For those who opposed Yuan, it was indeed a heinous crime.

    No, a group of people in Laohuai Hutong are discussing enthusiastically how to show off the influential figures who have been active in the political arena recently. After all the talk, everyone's eyes are fixed on Zhang Hanqing.

    Yes, it is clear that he is the son of Zhang Zuolin, the strongman outside the Pass, and an important promoter of the imperial system. But the key is that he does not have strict defenses in the capital like others - he has no official position, only a few people who work in Fengtian.  The bodyguard who talks a lot has no sophistication and no awareness of precautions.  This is a good target to start with, as it can both cause a sensation and be more certain.

    Everyone had their own ideas as to how far they should go, and the conversation was lively for a while.  Speaking of hands-on, there are countless versions: the flying knife and book-leaving style, the bow-and-arrow shooting style, and the shouting style. Anyway, all the jokes that can be used in old martial arts novels are used; there are also poisoning methods, kidnapping methods,  Cold gun skills, to name a few.

    Just as he was talking, his mouth went dry, and suddenly someone sneered "hehehe", which put out everyone's enthusiasm.  When everyone looked at it, they saw a young man leaning against the door and tapping his legs.  This man was only in his twenties, but he wore thick-rimmed glasses. His sideburns were shaved and he lookedHe was a bit gentle, but he couldn't hide the fierce murderous look in his eyes.  He was fiddling with a bunch of keys aimlessly in one hand, appearing absent-minded to everyone's words. The few sneers just now came from his mouth.

    Among this group of people, a middle-aged man who was obviously the person in charge seemed a little unconvinced: "Jiuguang is very resourceful. If you have any great ideas, you might as well tell them and let everyone listen."

    This young man named Jiu Guang said calmly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but you are just doing the math. How old is the Zhang Hanqing we are going to attack?"

    ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t cared about this issue yet.  But when everyone thought about it for a moment, something was wrong in their eyes.

    The young man said calmly: "You all have your own opinions on whether Zhang Hanqing should be killed, so I can't comment. But we are a bunch of adults gathered together to discuss how to deal with a baby. We can't afford to lose this person if word spreads.  Anyway, I, Jiuguang, will not participate."

    There were two people who laughed in agreement.  Yes, after all, the target is a young man under the age of sixteen. Unlike the countless political brokers who advocate imperialism in China, he does not have any power and only relies on the power of his father behind him.  If you are cruel to such a child (Zhang Hanqing: I am already sixteen years old, right?), it will be shameful to the world, and it will reduce the justice and positive energy of the action.

    The middle-aged man also felt that something was wrong. He asked the young man: "Jiuguang, what do you think we should do?"

    Jiuguang smiled slightly: "What's the problem? Just knock on the door and give me a warning."

    I dare say he has no psychological burden at all for doing such a thing. It seems that the few guards around Zhang Hanqing are nothing to him.  No matter what his background is, he can have such heroic spirit, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

    ????????? Others echoed and said: "This matter must be done by Jiu Guang."

    The young man who called himself Jiuguang smiled and said: "I will meet Zhang Hanqing tonight. It would be fine if I could make him repent, otherwise a lesson will be inevitable." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel  .com
