The tragedy of Yuan Shikai, the first generation general of Fu Bo, raised money for the funeral after his death.

Because Yuan Shikai's funeral was too luxurious, he finally found that he could not make ends meet. After deducting funeral expenses, the special funds allocated by the government are not enough to build cemetery projects. To this end, Xu Shichang, Duan, Wang Shizhen and other eight people jointly launched a public sacrifice ceremony, asking people from all walks of life to help, and finally raised 250,000 yuan, finally ending Yuan Shikai's funeral. In the farce of Yuan Shikai's restoration, the funniest thing is that Prince Yuan forged Shuntian Times to deceive the old man. Yes, Shuntian Times is read by Yuan Shikai every day, because it not only has a large circulation, but also is a Chinese newspaper run by the Japanese in Tianjin. At that time, Yuan Shikai was most sensitive to Japan. A good father is better than a good son, and vice versa. In order to make the old man proclaimed himself emperor and realize his dream of "prince", Yuan forged a fake Shuntian Times, which published some news advocating imperialism and supporting the great president Yuan Da as emperor, and sent it to Yuan Shikai every day. This is a strange story. Yuan Shikai's favorite third daughter, Yuan recalled, "The cottage version of Shuntian Times was built by my eldest brother, and it was not only a cottage version for my father, but also a cottage version for other people in my family. Big brother isolated our family from the real news. Unexpectedly, one day, one of my daughters will go home to visit her father. At that time, I loved black spiced broad beans, so I asked her to buy some to take home. The next day, the girl bought a big bag and came back with the whole Shuntian Times. When I was eating broad beans, I accidentally saw this newspaper a few days ago, which is actually different from what we usually see in Shuntian Times. I quickly checked the newspaper of the day and found that the date was the same, but many contents were different. I felt very strange at that time, so I went to my second brother to ask what was going on. The second brother said that he had read Shuntian Times outside, which was different from that in the mansion, but he was afraid to explain it to my dad. Then he asked me,' dare you say it?' I said,' I dare.' In the evening, I gave the real Shuntian Times to my father. My dad saw it and asked where he got it, so I told the truth. Father frowned at that time and said nothing but' Go and play'. The next morning, he called his eldest brother and found that it was his responsibility. His father was very angry. In the voice of the eldest brother kneeling for mercy, he was whipped and scolded for "deceiving his father and country." From then on, my father became angry when he saw him. No matter what my father says, he always hums with a straight face. I didn't say much to him to show my distrust. "Although Yuan Dingke lost the trust of the old man at a critical moment, he still has a killer weapon, and that is the' family curse' that haunts Yuan Shikai's mind. Strange to say, in Yuan Shikai's family, no one who went out to be an official lived past 60 years old. For example, Yuan Jiasan, Yuan, Yuan Yuan, and even Yuan Baozhong, Yuan Shikai's biological father, all died in their prime. As a result, the 60-year-old mark has become a long-term nightmare in Yuan Shikai's heart. Since the founding of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai's health has gone from bad to worse, which makes him feel suspicious. When Yuan Shikai's 60-year-old deadline was approaching, Yuan repeatedly advised that "only by claiming the emperor can this spell be broken", which had a strong appeal to Yuan Shikai. Yes, the emperor is in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and his position in the world is the highest. What is more noble in the world? Perhaps, does this spell really dare not violate the "Mr. Right"? Speaking of it, Yuan Shikai was also a superstitious person at that time, and it was unfair to accuse Yuan Dingke of calling himself emperor. In sharp contrast to Yuan's love for monarchy, Yuan Shikai's second son, Yuan, was indifferent to it. Not only that, the "Emperor's Second Son" even wrote a poem satirizing his father, which is a rare masterpiece in the ancient poetry of the Republic of China: at first glance, weak cotton is enough to win, but it is uncertain until late at night; Back to the south, the geese cover the lonely moon, the sun sets and the nine cities are in complete darkness.

Pony saves himself for a while, and alarms for a one-night stand; Don't go up to the top of Qionglou, although it's windy and rainy. The last two sentences of the poem are the key points, which are nothing more than persuading the old people not to "go to the top of the building", otherwise they will stand tall and fall hard and lose their money. It's a pity that Yuan Shikai didn't study enough. Su Dongpo also said in the Mid-Autumn Festival that it was "too cold at the top", but he forgot when his mind was hot. After intensive preparations, Yuan Shikai finally accepted the "support" of the people and really wanted to be an emperor. The official auspicious day of the ecliptic is 19 16 1. Prior to this, Yuan Shikai decided to hold a meeting of 100 officials to meet him and let Ding Yuan choose the date. Yuan said impatiently, "Tomorrow, December 13th, is a good day!" The next morning, Yuan Shikai held a formal congratulations meeting in Zhongnanhai. Due to the rush of time, there was no preparation in advance. The officials who came to offer condolences only included those from Beijing, and none of the local dignitaries attended. Ironically, this pilgrimage has neither uniform clothes nor prescribed procedures. Some officials who came to congratulate him wore robes and mandarin jackets, while others wore suits and dresses. The military attaché s greeted him in uniform, while some people in casual clothes just wore casual clothes. The ceremony was presided over by Yuan's "official" department, but to his confusion, the emperor ordered him to bow three times to congratulate him, but his imaginary three knocks and nine obeisances didn't work well, which made him very angry. At nine o'clock that day, Yuan Shikai came to Jurentang with four military attaché s, but he didn't wear the million dragon robes and crowns that everyone guessed, but wore a marshal's suit and didn't even wear a hat. However, it seems that his big head is brighter, as if purple air comes from the east and the sky blesses happiness. Although all officials in civil and military affairs have classes, Duan is a soldier, but he doesn't know the rules of etiquette. Yuan Di obeyed himself before he took his seat, and others made a mess when they visited the shrine because of disorder. Some people bow, some people worship, and some people shout "Long live the emperor", which is uneven. But Yuan Di either sat or stood, hesitated for a long time, but held the palace with his left hand. After the ceremony, Yuan Di told everyone to go back to work and didn't even invite everyone to dinner. When everyone walked out of the Juren Concert Hall, they woke up: this congratulations ceremony was too simple and economical! As usual, like the emperor behind closed doors, sneaking around, hiding anything. What happened? But yes. When Cai E, Tang and others raised the banner of "defending our country and defending our country" in Yunnan, Yuan Shikai had to postpone the date of accession to the throne, saying that he would wait until the rebellion subsided. Unexpectedly, this push is far away, and the war to defend the country will not end for a while. As a result, Yuan Shikai did not officially ascend to the throne until his death. At best, he is a "closed emperor". In the ancient history of China, after the establishment of the new dynasty, it was necessary to "migrate, correct the new moon, change color and offer sacrifices". It doesn't matter whether this "sacrifice" sacrifice still exists. The country is hard-won, so there is no need to "migrate". However, we still have to make a fuss about "changing the new moon", that is, after 19 16, we will abolish the five years of the Republic of China and change the calendar to the calendar of Hong Xianyuan. As for "easy to wear color", according to the three-system circulation theory of "black in summer and white in the middle of the week" in Confucian classics, wang hong Xianchao should advocate red, so all the pillars of the three halls he ascended the throne should be painted red, and the tiles should be replaced with red tiles to show his happiness. Because Yuan Shikai's funeral was too luxurious, he finally found that he could not make ends meet. After deducting funeral expenses, the special funds allocated by the government are not enough to build cemetery projects. To this end, Xu Shichang, Duan, Wang Shizhen and other eight people jointly launched a public sacrifice ceremony, asking people from all walks of life to help, and finally raised 250,000 yuan, finally ending Yuan Shikai.

In addition, when the emperor ascended the throne, he had to give meritorious officials a royal knighthood, which benefited everyone. But there is a small problem here, that is, an old friend and an old friend, and Yuan Di was too embarrassed to let them surrender, so he came up with the idea of including the old couple and the old friend. As for the provincial generals, governors, guards, division brigade commanders, etc. They were awarded the titles of "Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Gong" respectively, and everyone they met had a share. In one breath, 128 was sealed, and even the late former prime minister Zhao Bing was awarded the first-class public title. On this happy day, there are also discordant notes. For example, former army chief of staff and senior subordinate Duan and former vice president Li never attended the congratulations ceremony. Yuan Shikai gave Li a "Prince Wuyi", but the former vice president repeatedly refused to accept it. After this incident came out, a nursery rhyme spread like wildfire: "A good country can't do well; A good country can't sit still; Nobody wants a gift from the prince! "When Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself, Yan Xiu and Zhang Yixian, two old friends who followed him for many years, explicitly opposed the restoration of monarchy. They repeatedly discouraged Yuan Shikai from going to this dead end, but Yuan Shikai didn't wake up after all. After all, there is no regret medicine in the world. On the night of the abolition of the monarchy, Yuan Shikai called Zhang Yixian to talk and said with great regret, "I didn't listen to what you and Sun Fan said at that time. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry and ashamed! Sun Fan and I have been together for many years, and never mentioned any promotion of rank to me. You have been in my shogunate for more than ten years and have never made any personal demands. It can be seen how valuable people who are indifferent to fame and fortune are. This is a real stone country! Those who pushed me, are they really serving the country and the people? Today, they promoted me to emperor, and tomorrow, they may oppose the monarchy. Such people are everywhere! In short, I work more and study less, which I deserve. No wonder others. " Finally, Yuan Shikai said sadly, "This is just a small mistake of mine and a big mistake of the country. Those in power can't help but take a warning! " Finally, Yuan Shikai couldn't bear it. He didn't help him break the family curse. Instead, he was called the emperor, which accelerated his death. According to Yuan's memory, during the Lantern Festival in 19 16, when the whole family got together to eat Yuanxiao, six, eight and ninety-three concubines quarreled loudly in front of Yuan Shikai, vying for the title of "concubine" and "concubine". Seeing this, Yuan Shikai sighed and said, "Stop it! You are all going back to Zhang De, waiting to send my coffin back together! " Say that finish, Yuan Shikai got up and went back to the office. At that time, the war to defend the country had already broken out, and Yuan Shikai was worried and unhappy all day long. After being disturbed by his family again, Yuan Shikai began to eat less from that day, and his body gradually became weak. Amid the clamor of the president's abdication, Yuan Shikai was confused, unwilling to abdicate, and then unable to participate in the war. Finally, he was exhausted and collapsed. 19 16 In late May, Yuan Shikai was unable to work; On June 5, Yuan Shikai fell into a coma; Until 6 am on June 6, Yuan Shikai finally died. Because Yuan Shikai's funeral was too luxurious, he finally found that he could not make ends meet. After deducting funeral expenses, the special funds allocated by the government are not enough to build cemetery projects. To this end, Xu Shichang, Duan, Wang Shizhen and other eight people jointly launched a public sacrifice ceremony, asking people from all walks of life to help, and finally raised 250,000 yuan, finally ending Yuan Shikai's funeral. Yuan Shikai suffered from soft foot disease in the late Qing Dynasty, which was the reason why Regent Zai Feng dismissed him at that time. After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai came back and needed servants to help him enter the palace.

This time, Yuan Shikai's illness is a systemic uremic infection caused by bladder stones. Originally, this disease will not lead to life-threatening. But Yuan Shikai is stubborn. He refused to see western medicine and surgery. Coupled with the troubles after the imperial system, his condition worsened. When the condition deteriorated sharply and the urination was not smooth, at Yuan's insistence, Yuan Shikai invited a French doctor, Bessie, for treatment, but it was too late. Bessie suggested that Yuan Shikai go to the hospital for surgery, and there might still be a chance, but Yuan Shikai refused. In this case, Bessie had to guide Yuan Shikai's urine in his bedroom, but all he discharged at this time was hematuria. Knowing that he couldn't afford it, Yuan Shikai quickly sent for Xu Shichang and Duan, handed the seal of the President to Xu Shichang, and said, "The President should be Li. I'm going back to Zhang De. " It is said that Yuan Shikai whispered "Yang Du Yang Du, wrong about me, wrong about me" to his sick old friend Xu Shichang after recovering from fainting in the early morning of the 6th. It is also said that Yuan Shikai said on his deathbed: "He hurt me!" Yuan Shikai didn't say who this "he" was, but it was generally believed to refer to Ding Ke, Yuan's eldest son. To say this restoration farce, Yuan is really half responsible. He wants to be a prince himself. He's crazy. As a result, he pushed the old man to the fire to roast, which led to Yuan Shikai's generation being fierce. Finally, I was harmed by this vertical shaft and ended up with a pitiful and ridiculous name. Really timid. Yuan, an uneducated person, had poor taste and virtue, and wasted half his life, not to mention a good old age. As a result, he went bankrupt and died in poverty. Yuan Shikai has such a prince, how can he be unbeaten? After Yuan Shikai's death, his old brothers and sisters who opposed him in the war to defend the country also "turned their arms into friendship", or went to Beijing in person or sent an attache to mourn the old leader. Therefore, Yuan Shikai's funeral was also well-paid and extremely sad. The most regrettable thing is that Duan, the adopted son of the royal family and the general of Fengtian, came in a hurry from the starry night outside the customs after learning of Yuan Shikai's death. In front of Xinhua Palace, he cried and cried. People who don't know think his real father is dead. Because Yuan Shikai's funeral was too luxurious, he finally found that he could not make ends meet. After deducting funeral expenses, the special funds allocated by the government are not enough to build cemetery projects. To this end, Xu Shichang, Duan, Wang Shizhen and other eight people jointly launched a public sacrifice ceremony, asking people from all walks of life to help, and finally raised 250,000 yuan, finally ending Yuan Shikai's funeral. Isn't it sad that a generation of lean men ended like this?
