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 looked them over again; he smiled and said: "We don't need much collateral. 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.

Since the Northeast and Fujian, Taiwan, is the sphere of influence of Japan and Russia, the Zurich is aimed at 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! "

"I protest against your England!" 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.

Faced with this scene, Yuan Shikai frowned. The other government officials were anxious and knew that they would not be able to carry on. Yuan Shikai turned around and began to quietly discuss with Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others.

After a while, Secretary Lang walked over to the cloud deck and knocked on the door a few times before announcing 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 be quiet. "Let me explain." The envoys had just calmed down when the Japanese consul and the British consul began to fight like chickens.

Yuan Shikai was surprised by the situation. He shouted anxiously, "Everyone 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 boisterous, Duan Qili 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 Er Dian and Mr. Yi Yi, the conditions for the mortgage were all quite harsh, exceeding the permissible limits. This was something that I found 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.

Yuan Shikai saw that there was no hope in stopping him and 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.

He hugged his head and ran away in a sorry state. The government officials Li Yuanhong and Feng Guozhang hastily transferred their guards over to relieve the siege before finally sending them off separately.

Yuan Shikai had barely been able to escort them to the door. Seeing that they were fighting again, he turned around and walked back into the hall. He sat down on a chair, feeling very angry. 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 time, Yuan Shikai opened his eyes, glanced at the broken cups and plates on the table, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, these foreign devils are not good people. 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 rang out. It wasn't a guard that came in, it was his current steward, Eunuch Liu, followed by his goddaughter, Zheng Yanyue, and his nephew, Second Young Master Yuan Jun. The group of guards stopped at the door. Seeing Yuan Shikai's dejected look, no one dared to speak out loud.

Eunuch Liu moved closer to Yuan Shikai and said in a low voice: "Master, I have made the arrangements as per your instructions. We will meet at your place tonight." Yuan Shikai nodded with satisfaction and became more energetic.

Zheng Yanliang, who was standing behind them, noticed the secretive expressions on their faces, as though something was being concealed from her and Yuan Jun. She didn't understand what they were trying to say. Because of 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." She was about to ask something when Yuan Jun coughed twice, purposely not allowing her to ask. Zheng Yanyue was very smart and quickly looked at Yuan Jun.

The instant their gazes met, Yuan Jun gave her a look. Yuan Jun was worried that Yuan Shikai might be in a bad mood and 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. "

Zheng Yan was a wise woman. She really didn't ask. She first spoke to Yuan Shikai and Liu Gonggong, then stepped forward and said sweetly, "Dad, I'll support you." As he said that, he held onto Yuan Shikai's arm.

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

With Miss Zheng's support, he felt an invisible warmth spread throughout his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. He pretended to be tired and walked out of the hall, intentionally staying close to 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 group of beautifully dressed beauties greeted him in front of his carriage. The moment Yuan Shikai stepped out of the car, all the beauties gathered around him and shouted, "President!" "Your Majesty." Master. " Each one of them looked at each other in a charming and gentle manner, causing Yuan Shikai to be overjoyed. He forgot all his troubles, touched this one, pulled that one again, and smiled.

These beauties all knew that Yuan Shikai wanted to call the emperor 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 and sweet affection, and involuntarily began to act coquettishly towards the crowd of 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, who was standing aside, felt infuriated when he saw his uncle, the dignified Head of State, acting in such a ridiculous and ugly manner.

Miss Zheng, who had just seen all this, felt embarrassed in the car for some reason. Seeing that Yuan Shikai and the others were happily walking up the steps, she then picked up the curtain and got off the car. She followed behind Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun gave her an uninterested look, as if he was aware of the jealousy in her heart. Following that, Yuan Jun cast a peculiar gaze at her.

Seeing that she was deliberately putting on an act, Miss Zheng suddenly had an idea. He said, "Ah Jun, let's go in as well." Yuan Jun nodded, his heart not in his throat. Miss Zheng took the initiative and glanced at him before drawing closer. The two of them followed him inside.

In the inner hall, the beauties dispersed. Like a deflated ball, Yuan Shikai reclined on 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 her, not saying a word. Miss Zheng glanced at Yuan Jun, then went over to take the tray from the maid. "You can go first. Old Master is angry with the foreigners." The female attendant retreated, terrified.

Zheng put down the tray and picked up the teacup. "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 replied and immediately opened his eyes and said, "This German artificial wine, its strength is too great, 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 the teacup again and hurried to help him. Yuan Shikai sat down slowly and drank his tea.

At this moment, Eunuch Liu hurried in from outside again, to Yuan Shikai's side to say something. When he saw Zheng Xiu-mei and Yuan Jun in the room, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
