A few days later, Miss Zheng, escorted by soldiers, arrived at Kunming and found Cai Songpo. Seeing this, Cai Songpo said in surprise, ”Why is Miss Zheng so interested in Kunming?” It was truly a pleasure to meet you! Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me? ”
Zheng said: ”I have always been in Beijing bitter deceit, do not know what is right and wrong, and know very little about the outside world. Through this trip, I was able to distinguish between the political right and wrong, know who is the main culprit of this disaster. I was sent to arrest the two generals. What I saw and heard on the way, I am deeply impressed by the justice of the two generals. Therefore, we intend to make friends with you. ”I came here specifically to seek help from the general. The general wouldn't reject me if I were to take part in the protection of the kingdom.”
When Cai Songpo heard this, he laughed and said, ”Yuan Zui stole the country. Everyone can see it. Everyone is furious. Miss, we welcome you. We highly appreciate your renunciation. This is a wise move, a just move, and we will not doubt or reject it. There are still people coming to vote in the capital. We don't doubt them and we don't reject them. We discuss national affairs together, we work together. From now on, Miss will work here as a secretary to publicize our country.
Miss Zheng admired Cai Songpo's sense of justice and youth. She also secretly sent a letter to his beloved Yuan Jun informing him of this matter. Yuan Jun opened the letter and saw that it was written: ”Ah Jun, see the letter as it is written. I've been looking forward to being with you every day, and now I can't. I threw myself into Chai Li's organization to protect the country in order to get the best of my activities. Don't blame me. Listen to me. We were deceived by your uncle in the capital. Now that I've come out, I know that the world is big and people want it. The actions of your uncle make the people sad and despise you. He had faked a comeback and sold his country to the enemy in pursuit of personal interests. He paid no attention to the prosperity of his country and his people.
At that time, what he hid from us was one of his acts of selling countries to the enemy. He had a secret meeting with the Japanese envoy, Yasuhara Oshima, and discussed many of the terms of the sale of his country. He wanted to use the national and national interests in exchange for Japan's support for his return to the throne. When the news spread out, it aroused the hatred of many intelligent people. This has become a scandal throughout the country.
Your uncle is determined to act without regard to the interests of his country and his people. He has reached a point where he is unable to persuade others and is unable to save them. He has become the main culprit of the disaster. Affected by the new ideas of a democratic republic, how can we ignore the interests of the nation and the nation, and follow your uncle, a man who dares to defy the will of the people? I hope you can come here to meet me soon and talk more in detail.
He saw that the southern part of the city was looking forward to Yuan Yuan's movement; Yuan Shikai's denunciation and cursing rang through the sky; and the voices of the supporters of Cai and Li were coming from all directions. Unless Yuan Shikai's rule was overthrown, no one would be able to extinguish this burning struggle for justice. We would rather die for justice than for personal well-being. I'll wait for you in the torrent. ”
When Yuan Jun finished reading the letter, his mind was in a mess. He was filled with grief and indignation. It was only then that he realized the true nature of his uncle, Yuan Shikai. He held the letter in his hand for a long time and said to himself, ”The country has just stabilized and the economy has just developed. Seeing that the country was on the verge of complete annihilation, the people suffered greatly from the war. The culprit behind this was his uncle, Yuan Shikai. It was all due to his persistence in killing the Democratic Republic and his determination to restore it. It would be of no value for me to speak out to him now. Yan Mingyue is right. ” Furious, he decided, ”I will put an end to this war with my own hands, and the republics with the Revolution. Kill uncle to apologize to the countrymen! to save the nation, to save tens of thousands of people! ”
Thus, he secretly prepared a small bomb and two handguns, intending to find an opportunity to kill Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai had a high level of martial arts skill, and his bodyguards were very strict. Yuan Jun had never found a suitable opportunity. It just so happened that Qing`er had been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine today. She was very happy and didn't want to spend the rest of her life with Yuan Shikai. She pleaded with Yuan Shikai, ”Your Majesty, this garden is too small. It is almost finished. I've heard that the old Princess used to visit Yuan Ming Yuan. Now the garden was in ruins and there was nothing to see. Shall we visit the Summer Palace? Your Majesty will be happier this way. ” Yuan Shikai usually pampered her. Yes or no, love follows her words. Yuan Shikai was also happy for a moment. ”Then I shall do as the Imperial Concubine says.” He then ordered the guards: ”Go to the Summer Palace.”
All the guards quickly prepared the carriage. Qing`er then joined hands with Yuan Shikai, one of them saying, ”Please, Your Majesty.” One of them said, ”Please, beloved concubine.” Cheers and laughter rang out as they got on the car. Yuan Jun was driving with them as a bodyguard. At this moment, he was already quite angry with them for addressing him as such. He carried the bomb and the pistol with him.
Qing E and Yuan Shikai happily went to the Summer Palace and decided to collapse under Yuan Shikai's old residence. As Yuan Shikai displayed the etiquette of an emperor, the imperial concubines and imperial guards were no exception to those who had to leave when going in and out of the city. The guards lined up in a row and turned around, not daring to look back. This gave Yuan Jun the opportunity to assassinate them.
The moment Yuan Shikai and Qing'e's car came to a stop, the maids rushed out to pick them up. Yuan Jun quickly threw the bomb outside the car. With a loud boom, the car was blown to smithereens, and pieces of it flew everywhere. Qing E was blown up and died on the spot. Yuan Shikai, on the other hand, miraculously survived.
At that time, when Yuan Jun saw the car had been blown up, he thought that Yuan Shikai was definitely going to die. Just as he was about to announce his righteous deed to the crowd, he was immediately surrounded by the guards who had rushed over. Yuan Jun said, ”This is a private matter between the two of us, so you don't need to worry about it.”
