Soon, Zhang put forward the slogan of "serving the people", drove Duan away, and began to recruit and expand his power.
From 19 15 to 12, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Chinese empire, and established Yuan Hongxian. However, this move was immediately opposed by all parties, which triggered the movement to protect the country. In the end, Yuan Shikai had to announce the abolition of the imperial system after he became the 83rd Emperor. 1965438+In June 2006, Yuan Shikai died of illness. Zhang was very happy and thought: If this old Yuan can be emperor, can't I be emperor?
So, Zhang began to secretly prepare himself to be emperor!
Since ancient times, when the emperor ascended the throne, according to the ancestral system, he had to customize the dragon robe to show his dignity. However, this robe can't be made in three or two days. You know, the famous Emperor Kangxi in history, his robes were sewn by Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, which took three years to finish. The gold thread alone used the whole robe of twelve taels of gold, and it is conceivable that it is precious.
In fact, Zhang himself also has a dragon robe, which was given to him by Puyi in his early years because of his meritorious service in fighting bandits. However, in order to get the support of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Zhang gave it to the captain of the Fengtian garrison, and now it is basically impossible to come back! Like meat buns hitting dogs, it's gone forever!
It's no use regretting it now. The best way now is to find someone to sew another one for yourself. Although it may cost a lot of money, it will cost a lot of money. At this time, his ambition is extremely inflated, no matter how high it costs!
Soon, Zhang invited a master named Ji from Yangzhou to sew a "dragon robe" for him. This master named Ji has been weaving for generations. His ancestors used to make dragon robes for Daoguang, so his craft is self-evident.
After Master Ji arrived in Fengtian, Zhang placed him in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of Shuaifu, which was both a residence and a studio. Then, Master Ji began to draw, cut and compare samples, and carefully made this dragon robe. Please come to Zhang when the general style comes out. After reading it, Zhang shook his head and said discontentedly, "This is the dragon robe of the Qing emperor, but mine can't be like this." .
Master Ji returned to the studio to think hard. She couldn't sleep all day trying to figure out the style of the dragon robe.
One day, Master Ji was wandering alone in Shuaifu, and suddenly he saw a blue satin squirrel skin robe and a blue satin turtleneck vest hanging on the clothesline in another yard, which looked very good in workmanship. Master Ji was very inspired when he saw it. He thought: Zhang Dashuai was born in a desolate forest, and he always wears strange clothes on weekdays. Why don't I add these elements to his robe?
Therefore, Master Ji began to paint again, and put on a new "dragon robe" according to Zhang's fur robe.
Finally, after half a year, Master Ji finally made this dragon robe and spent more than twenty taels of gold. When Master Ji showed it to Zhang, Zhang liked it very much. But then, another question came, and that was where to put this dragon robe. Now Zhang is in no hurry to be emperor, so although the dragon robe is ready, it can only be placed somewhere. Put it in the closet? Of course not. Such a noble robe can't be put in the wardrobe of ordinary people.
After some consideration, I finally decided to put it in the ancestral hall of Lao Zhang's family in Haicheng. Please bring Zhang back when he wants to be emperor.
Zhang
But who would have thought that this contribution was 10 years. Because of years of war, Zhang has been living outside the customs, and he has no idea of becoming an emperor at all. Later, during the restoration, Zhang began to electrify the whole country to crusade against Zhang Xun.
And Zhang's dream of the emperor also quietly retired under the complicated situation at that time. As for the dragon robe, Zhang also stayed.
