Hanyu carving fairy

Chapter 24 - 4 Faces of Embarrassment

Di Jue was playing with a freshly picked magnolia flower in his hand, watching Yuan Shikai assign countless tasks to his subordinates.

It has been a month and a half since Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor.

"Shen Jue, the empire has just been established, and I'm very busy. Are you still used to it here?"

Yuan Shikai never called himself "the general" or "zhen" in front of Emperor Jue, but always referred to himself as "I".

Di Jue twitched his eyebrows and said, "It's okay."

"Then I'm relieved." Yuan Shikai nodded with a smile, with a lingering infatuation in his eyes.

Di Jue didn't like the look in his eyes.

He stood up and left the meeting room.

In the afternoon, Mr. Pan received a unique gift.

When Di Jue handed this beautifully bound small box to Mr. Pan, Mr. Pan was actually surprised.

Then Di Jue nodded to him, and explained: "If you come and don't go, you're indecent."

After Di Jue left, Mr. Pan opened the box and couldn't help smiling.

Among them is a small jade-carved magnolia, as thin as a cicada's wings, with clear veins, so lifelike.

It can be seen that the skill of the person who carved it is superb, and he can be called a good craftsman.

Mr. Pan opened the small lockable cabinet under the desk, and carefully put the magnolia in it.

In that small cabinet, there are large and small white magnolias and... Jade Ruyi.

Every flower, every branch, is so exquisite and delicate, which is lovable.

He casually picked up a carved jade magnolia, picked up the magnifying glass at the side, and examined it carefully.

On the inconspicuous part of this little thing, engraved with two small characters, representing the symbol of his belongings.However, looking at all of them, some of them have them, and some of them don't.

--------------------------

"Mr. Shen, everything is ready. Yuan Shikai has been at ease for too long, when will he act?"

"Soon. Our forces are almost infiltrated. We just need to wait for an order from Mr. Sun Yat-sen."

"Mr. Shen! Mr. Sun's order has come!"

……

In Xinhua Palace, Yuan Shikai was in a state of desperation.

"Cai E declared an uprising?" He sneered, "Overthinking one's abilities."

"Let Duan Qirui lead the troops to Yunnan to stop him, and don't let him go to Peiping."

……

"...Mr. Duan said that he wants to discuss the details with you personally."

"Oh?" Yuan Shikai reached out to pick up the microphone, dialed it in a circle, and knocked on the edge with his right knuckles unconsciously, making a "duh" sound.

The call was connected quickly, and Yuan Shikai's complexion became more and more ugly, almost turning black.

He listened without saying a word, and put down the phone with a "snap".

"Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui..."

Feeling depressed, Yuan Shikai picked up a brush and wrote four big characters made of thick ink on the cover of a document at hand:

A four-faced song.

His people, the Kuomintang people, the imperialist powers, and even the Japanese did not support him proclaiming himself emperor.

The man in the old Yuan family will not live to be 60 years old, unless he becomes an emperor.He didn't know the truth of this statement, but he couldn't help not believing it.
