Rufeng looked at him unhurriedly for a few moments, then stopped. Another guard noticed the hesitation in Ruo Feng's voice and said, ”What are you hesitating for!?” You want to die? Go, go, go over there. ”

He was also scared, ”If you keep going forward, I'll shoot you!” ”Don't shoot,” he said to himself. ”I'll wait and see what Yuan Shikai looks like, and then I'll kill him. If you shoot me, I won't be able to eat well, but I'll be damned first. ”

He was naughty, but he also had a plan. ”Ignore them,” he thought as he made a turn and quickly walked in the other direction. Very quickly, he entered a small restaurant that faced the street. When the guards saw that the monk had left, they stopped talking and stood there like wooden statues with their guns still in their hands.

He then asked what kind of meeting Yuan Shikai was going to hold here. It had to be started with the Order.

Long ago, when Yuan Shikai was trying to force his way into the palace, he had used a scam. He promised Empress Dowager Long that when the time was right, he would restore the imperial system. He even gave the little Emperor and the people from the Manchu Sect some generous treatment. Some of the palaces were reserved for the court. In this way, Empress Dowager Long took the place of the young Emperor Pu Yi, who was not yet ten years old, to announce her abdication.

From then on, Yuan Shikai lived with his neighbors in Zhongnanhai and Xiaozheng. The Manchu court and the civil and military officials had no choice but to gather together and endure the years, waiting for the time to come when Yuan Shikai would restore the Qing Dynasty to them. Those who look forward to an early return are known as the Order Party. The leaders were Pu Wei, Tie Liang, Luo Zhenyu, Chen Baoshen, Zheng Xiaoxu and Zheng Shiqi.

These people had long been blinded by the idea of restoration. They could not see the situation in China and the world at that time, let alone recognize Yuan Shikai's true appearance. They had been looking for a chance to make a comeback.

Seeing the defeat of the Second Revolution, Sun Yat-sen was sent abroad, while other leaders of the Revolutionary Party also fled for their lives. They thought that the Revolutionary Party had fallen and would never prosper again. Yuan Shikai and his men have already taken control of the country's power. They all thought that the time had come for a revival.

Thus, these clan members immediately became active, and one by one, they began to let Yuan Shikai restore them. They even sent an astute eunuch, Liu Gonggong, to Yuan Shikai's side to discuss the method of restoration.

This Eunuch Liu had long been close with Yuan Shikai, and the clan members had high hopes for him. In fact, this person was even more unreliable. He was used to being manipulated by the wind. Ever since he had arrived at Yuan Shikai's side, he had come up with a number of countermeasures.

Yuan Shikai went along with the flow and promised to resume the mission as soon as possible. In fact, Yuan Shikai said that the restoration was to let him become emperor.

And the sectarians thought that Yuan Shikai was going to restore them to the Qing dynasty. The sectarians also brought gifts and orders to Yuan Shikai on many occasions. Yuan Shikai, on the grounds of eliminating the Revolutionary Party and clearing the way for the restoration of the obstacles, repeatedly asked the court for huge sums of money, until the court could no longer afford to pay them. The sectarians had no choice but to turn to the Japanese for help with the loan.

As a result, the Zong Society Party has also colluded with the Japanese Black Dragon Society's special forces. However, the Japanese had their own plans.

The Japanese government's analysis and research showed that Yuan Shikai wanted to become emperor, so they sent an envoy with a letter from the Emperor to win him over to Japan.

Japan wants to monopolize China on the condition of supporting Mr Yuan's claim to be emperor. The sectarians had been trapped in the valley, fooled and exploited by Yuan Shikai and the Japanese.

Yuan Shikai, on the other hand, has always been cautious about the issue of restoration. He always did it in secret, step by step. He knew that the restoration was unpopular. Once he became an emperor, he would face many objections, as well as great difficulties and pressure. Without sufficient military funds to buy arms, the bullets would not be able to suppress the resistance.

In recent years, however, he had been fighting successively. The Revolutionary Party, Pingbai Lang, spent a lot of military expenses. It has created a fiscal void and is short of money. He knew that if he wanted to be an emperor, he would first need to have sufficient military resources, and secondly, he would need the support of the various empires.

Therefore, he held a banquet at the Heavenly Altar today, inviting the foreign diplomats from the various empires in the capital to attend. One, he wanted to borrow money from them, and two, he wanted to establish a relationship with them and gain their support. Actually, the difficulties Yuan Shikai was facing were already very big. However, his ambition was not as great as that of claiming to be an emperor. He had to risk everything in this world. Not to mention.

As for the Heaven Altar Conference, the ambassadors and consuls of Japan, Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Australia were invited.

In addition to these foreigners, there were a number of government officials, sectarians, wealthy country gentry, business people, and unidentified outlaws, hooligans, and scoundrels in the capital city's environs. He even invited some famous singing and dancing courtesans from Beijing and Tianjin, as well as some renowned prostitutes from other places. The members of the meeting were very complicated, just like a mob.

Furthermore, one could hear the lewd and lecherous voices coming from the Assembly Hall's conference hall even from a distance away. The meeting was about to begin, and the whores, while eating melon seeds, were happily bickering with the foreigners, not taking it seriously at all.

Some of the prostitutes were flirting with the men while others simply sat in the arms of the foreigners and joked around. Several of the more civilized people were dancing and hugging the foreigners. A Japanese man was sitting on the coffee table, laughing as he held the woman and stuffed candy into his mouth. On a yellow tablecloth on the table beside him, there was a Occidental phonograph, singing continuously.
