In the winter of the Xinhai Dynasty, Zhang and Tang Shaoyi, who were loyal to Yuan Shikai, used Mencius's words that "if the king regards his subjects as dogs and horses, then his subjects regard the king as a countryman; if the king regards his subjects as a mustard, then his subjects regard the king as a vengeance" to persuade Gu Hongming to assist Yuan, And Gu Hui said: "If the fate of the contemptible person is not good, it is sincere to see it and abandon it." However, the two of you are also a mustard Shangshu and a dog and horse. Gu also repeatedly called Yuan Shikai a "slut" and a "hooligan" on different occasions.
Gu Hongming's dislike of Yuan Shikai has a long history. He once publicly ridiculed Yuan Shikai in the "Chronicle of Zhang Wenxiang's Shogunate" for only giving "old mothers to pour toilets", and he also said publicly: "Everyone says that Yuan Shikai is Haojie, and I prefer to say that Yuan Shikai is a lowly breed." ”
Yuan Shikai was very annoyed with Gu Hongming, but he had no choice. According to the German sinologist Wei Lixian in the book "Chinese Spirit", Yuan Shikai, in order to block Gu Hongming's extremely lethal mouth, was forced to entrust someone to invite Gu Hongming to the Yuan family as a tutor with a monthly salary of five hundred yuan, hoping to ease the relationship with Gu Hongming. At that time, although Gu Hongming was poor, he still refused without hesitation.
At a banquet in Beijing, the audience was filled with celebrities and political figures. A foreign reporter caught this vacancy to take the opportunity to interview Gu Hongming, and he asked a very tricky question: "Now that China's internal affairs are so chaotic, what can be remedied?" ”
Without hesitation, Gu Shi immediately prescribed a strong medicine: "Yes, the method is very simple, pull out all these politicians and bureaucrats present now and shoot them, and China's political situation will be more stable..."
In early September 1919, Gu Hongming spoke at the opening ceremony of Peking University. He said that the people who are now officials are all trying to keep their jobs. Then he said that their rice bowl is different from ours, their rice bowl is very large, and it can fit cars and aunts.
He also said that now people do not understand the article, the terms they use do not make sense, for example, "reform", in the past people said "from the good", did not say "improvement", since you are already "good", what else do you "improve"? Are you going to change "good" to "prostitute"?
Hu Shi wrote about Gu Hongming in this way: When people now see Gu Hongming dragging his braids and talking about "honoring the king's righteousness", they must think that he has always been stubborn. But he did not know that Gu Hongming was the first person to cut his braids; when he was in his prime, he sat still in the yamen to pray for longevity. Later, when people talked about revolution, he kept his braids.
At the time of the Xinhai Revolution, his braids had not yet been fully cultivated, and he dragged the braids of his wig and ran around in a carriage, which was very prominent. This psychology is very researchable. At first, he was "high in the imagination", but now he is "long off and does not return".
