C6 The Meeting Place Was in Chaos

Before the Japanese minister could even sit down, the British minister angrily stood up. He said in his heart, "My British Empire worked hard for more than half a century to fight with China, and after so much trouble to get these benefits, you Japan want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of us? It's not that easy! "

He calmed down, then immediately became calm and said, "My British Empire is the most civilized empire in the world. The small amount of loans we have made to China is just like a joke, something we can take with us, without the need for other countries to worry about it. I've decided to take them all! If it's not enough, it can be doubled. "

After saying that, he deliberately shook his head as he looked at the Japanese minister. The Japanese minister was so angry that he stood up and looked like he was about to fight. When he calmed down, he glared at the British minister, gave a "hateful" cry, and sat down again with a flick of his sleeve. The situation became tense, and everyone present stared at them.

The Japanese consuls glared at the British minister like wolves.

The British envoy, Zhu Erdian, looked at them one by one again and said with a smile, "We don't need too many collateral requirements. It was enough to ask only for the development of railways and mines in the north-east, plus all the taxes of Fushun, Fujian and Taiwan. I can sign the bill right away. "

With that, he proudly swept his eyes over the Japanese again, then glanced at all of them before slowly sitting down.

Because the Northeast, Fujian and Taiwan were the sphere of influence of Japan and Russia, Zhu Erdian was here for Japan. Sure enough, the Japanese were so angry that their eyes had turned blood-red.

The little Japanese minister roared and shouted, "I protest! I protest! Northeast China, Fujian, Taiwan, no countries are allowed to interfere. It's all ours! " His shout immediately thrown the entire venue into chaos.

When the Russian minister heard that he was going to take them from the northeast, he was so angry that he banged the table and shouted, "I protest! I protest as well! "

He first shouted at Zhu Erdian: "I protest against your Britain!" He then shouted at the Japanese minister: "I protest against you, Japan! To protest that you are disregarding our interests in Russia! "

The French minister also stood up and shouted, "I too protest against Japan!" Thus, the envoys from the four countries fell into an uproar.

The American envoy was still in a daze. He placed his feet on the table, causing a "hualala" sound as he deliberately caused trouble. The German minister, seeing that they were quarreling so fiercely, did not have the opportunity to register himself, and cried out anxiously, "Take a knife, and cut up China! No one can hope for more! " Some of the foreigners were banging their cups and plates, making a lot of noise. It caused a lot of noise in the banquet hall and the meeting was about to end. That's it: the melon pieces don't wait for the June ripeness, the skin green will pull.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shikai frowned, the other government officials were anxious, they knew that they could not continue anymore. Yuan Shikai turned around, looked at Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and the others, and started to discuss quietly.

After a while Secretary Lang walked over to the cloud deck, knocked a few times, and announced in a loud voice, "Everyone, please be quiet. The terms of your mortgage must not go beyond our permissible limits. Please listen to our President's clear explanation.

Yuan Shikai also stood up and clapped, "Everyone, please calm down. "Let me explain." The envoys had just calmed down when the Japanese consul and the British consul began to fight like chickens.

As Yuan Shikai faced this scene, unexpectedly, he anxiously shouted, "All of you, stop! Quickly stop! " Those people only cared about tearing and beating, and no one paid any attention to them. The other Chinese government officials also looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Seeing that the foreigners were getting ahead of themselves and getting more and more rowdy, Duan Qirui was very angry. He mustered up the courage to stand up and scold. Facing the foreign envoys, he was suddenly at a loss for words. Because no matter who it was, he wouldn't dare offend them.

Yuan Shikai could only clap his hands and shout, "Everyone, stop fighting. Friends from all over the world are reconsidering the mortgage terms. Just now, Mr. Zhu Erdian and Mr. Hioki's mortgage conditions were all considered harsh and out of the acceptable range, this one found it difficult to accept. If your conditions are to be reduced, I choose one or two. "

At most, half of the people had heard his words. The foreigners were still noisy. A few Japanese and a few British consuls were still fighting in groups, their heads bleeding from the skirmishes.

Seeing that there was no hope to stop it, Yuan Shikai whispered a few words to Secretary Lang. Secretary Lang knocked on the cloud board a few more times before announcing loudly, "Dismissed! "Friends from all over the world, please return to the residence to rest."

When the ambassadors who had not been given the opportunity to register heard that the meeting was over, they became anxious and began to quarrel with the people of both countries. As they walked outside, they were still bickering with each other.

Just now, the British had suffered in the hall and were beaten badly by the Japanese. As soon as they got outside, a large group of British people surrounded a few Japanese and began to beat them up.

It scared Hioki to the point that he hugged his head and ran off first. The government leaders Li Yuanhong and Feng Guozhang, quickly called for the guards to help them out, and only then did they separate and send them off.

Yuan Shikai had barely been able to see them to the door. Seeing that they were fighting again, he turned around and returned to the hall. He covered his head with his hands and closed his eyes, wanting to be alone. Seeing that there were a lot of people surrounding him, he impatiently waved his hand. "Go to hell!" Everyone quietly retreated.

After a long while, Yuan Shikai opened his eyes and looked at the broken seats in the cup and scolded himself: "Damn it, these foreign devils, are all not good stuff. Taking advantage of me was not enough. They're all so fucking greedy! " The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he didn't even want to sit down anymore. He shouted feebly, "Men! "Let's return to the estate."

The sound of footsteps could be heard, and the ones who entered weren't the guards, but his current steward of the house, Eunuch Liu, and behind them was his foster daughter, Zheng Yanghong, and his nephew, second son, Yuan Jun. The group of guards stopped at the door. Seeing Yuan Shikai's dejected look, no one dared to speak loudly.

Eunuch Liu moved closer to Yuan Shikai, and said in a low voice: "Master, according to your instructions, I have made all the arrangements, we will meet at the residence tonight." Yuan Shikai nodded with satisfaction, and immediately became more spirited.

Behind them, Zheng Yanming saw the two of them talking with sly expressions, as if they were hiding something from her and Yuan Jun, and thus, did not understand what they were talking about. Based on her normal relationship with Yuan Shikai, she felt wronged. She wanted to find out what was going on, so she went closer and scolded, "Hey, look at you so secretive. It's like I'm an outsider." Just as she was about to ask something, Yuan Jun coughed twice, purposely preventing her from asking. Zheng Yan Yue was clever, and quickly turned to look at Yuan Jun.

The moment their eyes met, Yuan Jun looked at her again. Yuan Jun was worried that Yuan Shikai would not be in a good mood at the moment, worried that he would embarrass Miss Zheng. Yuan Jun said in his heart: "Yan Yue, today you are too stupid. We're right beside him, what else can we not know? In case you're looking for something uninteresting. "

She first spoke a few words of courtesy to Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu, then stepped forward and sweetly called out: "Dad, I'll support you." As he said that, he held onto Yuan Shikai's arm.

Yuan Shikai always had a small heart and liked Miss Zheng the most. He was mesmerized by the Miss Zheng's beautiful face, voice, and slim figure. If he didn't see the Miss Zheng for a few days, he would feel a sense of loss and despondency. No matter where he went, he was willing to bring the Miss Zheng with him.

When the Miss Zheng supported him, he felt an invisible warmth spread throughout his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. He pretended to be tired and deliberately walked out of the hall while hugging the Miss Zheng. Outside, the two of them got into another car. The guards and others also quickly got on their horses, got on their cars, and went back to Zhongnanhai.

When Yuan Shikai returned to the Zhongnanhai, a large group of beautiful women welcomed him in front of his residence. The moment Yuan Shikai got off the car, all the beauties gathered around him and called out, "President." "Your Majesty." Master. " Each of their charming eyes were soft, tempting Yuan Shikai to the point that he was overjoyed. He forgot all his troubles, touched this one, pulled that one again, and smiled.

These beauties all knew that Yuan Shikai wanted to become the emperor. So they all wanted to reach the pinnacle and obtain the position of empress that was praised to the brim with the name of the phoenix. They fought for the favor in front of each other and attacked each other from behind.

Yuan Shikai was completely captivated by this tender love, and involuntarily started to act coquettishly towards the beauties. That look was indescribably comical and ugly. He was unable to improve for a long time. Only after a long time had passed did he slowly walk up the stairs, surrounded by the other beauties.

Yuan Jun secretly became angry when he saw his own uncle, the dignified Head of State, acting in such a humorous manner.

When Miss Zheng saw all of this, for some reason, he felt embarrassed on the carriage. Seeing that Yuan Shikai and the others had walked up the stairs while laughing, she picked up the carriage's curtain and got down. She followed behind Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun looked at her meaninglessly, as if he had noticed the jealousy in her heart. Following that, Yuan Jun cast her a peculiar gaze.

Miss Zheng saw that he was pretending, in order to hide his nervousness and awkwardness, he suddenly thought of something and said: "Ah Jun, let us go in as well." Yuan Jun nodded his head, he did not know what to think. Miss Zheng took the initiative, glancing at him, he got a lot closer. The two of them followed him inside.

In the inner hall, the beauties dispersed. Yuan Shikai was like a deflated ball as he leaned onto the chair. The maid immediately brought him some fragrant tea and softly called out, "Master, please have some tea." Yuan Shikai acted as if he did not hear it, and did not say a word. The Miss Zheng glanced at Yuan Jun, then went to take the tray from the servant girl: "Go first, the old master is angry at the foreigners." The female attendant retreated, terrified.

Miss Zheng put down the tray, and picked up the teacup from the table: "Godfather, don't be angry. The foreigners are rude and can't get along with them. Take care of your body and have a cup of tea first. "

Yuan Shikai responded and immediately opened his eyes and said: "This German artificial wine, the aftereffects are too strong, I'm afraid I drank too much. "I'm feeling dizzy now." He was about to get up as he spoke. Miss Zheng put down his tea cup and quickly went to help him. Yuan Shikai sat down slowly and started drinking his tea.

Just then, the Eunuch Liu walked in again, to Yuan Shikai's side. He had something to say. When he saw that the Miss Zheng and Yuan Jun were in the room, he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
