Years of the Republic of China 1913

seat of parliament.

Early in the morning, almost all the congressmen in Beijing arrived at the Congress. Today, the atmosphere inside and outside the Congress is quite different from the usual one. Guards with live ammunition stand erect in front of the gate, and there are teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the gate. There was a chilling smell in the room, which made the members of the congress feel terrified.

"What happened?"

"what happened?"

"Could it be... that the Revolutionary Party rebelled again?"

"Brother, I've come all the way and the city is full of soldiers. Is this going to change again?"

"Hey, I'm sorry... I almost forgot that there is still water boiling on the stove at home, I have to go back and have a look."

"Oh, my stomach hurts suddenly. Brothers, please leave for a while to congratulate me..."

Most of the councilors, who usually look up and look up at the sky while walking, have changed their countenance today. They gathered together to whisper and whisper.But before these people turned around and took a few steps, several officers who maintained order raised their hands to stop them.

"Hehe, look at my memory. When I get old, I tend to forget things. Didn't I take this kettle down before going out?"

"Hey, why doesn't this stomach hurt anymore? Hahaha."

The complexions of the few who were going to put oil on the soles of their feet changed, and they quickly changed their mouths with a haha.Although I followed the crowd to the Congress, my heart was agitated, not to mention how disturbed, what is going on?Is it really going to change the world if they summon these congressmen?

Just when everyone is guessing.The eyeballs are spinning around.And when he was wondering if there was any danger, he saw a few people approaching. The ones walking in the front were Prime Minister Song Jiaoren and Chairman of the National Assembly Lin Sen, and behind them were the presidents of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Zhang Ji, Wang Zhengting, Tang Hualong and Wu Jinglian.

"Mr. Lin, Brother Dunchu, what's going on? Why are there so many soldiers surrounding the parliament?" Seeing these people coming one after another, everyone's hearts were finally relieved a little.With these big men coming forward, it seems that the situation will not be too bad, but seeing the soldiers standing upright with their rifles glaring in their hands, the panic in their hearts is still hard to get rid of. The member hurried forward a few steps.Can't help but ask.

"It's okay, these soldiers were specially dispatched to protect everyone, it's getting late, everyone go in first." Song Jiaoren smiled lightly.Lin Sen also nodded slightly to everyone with a smile, and then entered together.

With these few people taking the lead, everyone was relieved a lot, and followed them in one after another.After entering the room, Song Jiaoren whispered a few words to Lin Sen, and then went upstairs to the office.

"Brother Dunchu, you are here."

"Father and brother Geng, it's time to work."

Upstairs, at the door of the office, Xia Shoutian had been waiting for a long time, seeing Song Jiaoren approaching, he hurried up to greet him.After saying hello, he whispered: "The President has been waiting for you for a while, please come in."

Wei Wei nodded to Xia Shoutian, Song Jiaoren pushed open the door and entered the office, and the one sitting in the office was Yuan Shikai, the President of the Republic of China who should have been in the presidential palace?

"Dunchu, come on, please sit down."

Seeing Song Jiaoren coming in, Yuan Shikai, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and pointed to his side. After Song Jiaoren sat down, he asked: "I know everything? Hey... Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts, who would have thought that Liang Yansun would Doing this. It’s really maddening to kill the old man!”

"The President's health is important, so don't be too angry." Song Jiaoren also sighed, shook his head and said, "Liang Yansun's actions are really swayed by self-interest, and he actually risked the world's disgrace for his own selfish interests. Fortunately, the President has insightful eyes .It is a blessing in misfortune that he failed to succeed in his trick."

"You can't say that." Yuan Shikai waved his hand.With a bleak expression, he said: "After all, Liang Yansun is the secretary-general of the Presidential Palace, and he has been a counselor by my side for a long time. He did such a thing today. As the president, I should be blamed! At the beginning, Liang Yansun was at fault, and the old man is also responsible. Having said that, the purpose of Liang Yansun doing such a thing is for the old man. Before you came, the old man thought about it for a long time alone, and he was really ashamed to be the president again. Today, you and Mr. Lin are notified to convene the members of Congress, just to give the world People, let me give you an explanation, the old man has decided to resign from the post of President today."

"No!" Song Jiaoren quickly objected, persuading: "Why should the president blame himself? He Liang Yansun is him, and the president is the president. How can the two be discussed together? Although Liang Yansun belongs to the president, he But at the same time, I am also a government official. If Liang Yansun's mistake will cause the president to resign, then I, Song, will be the first to resign. President, I understand your thoughts and understand your dilemma better, but don't forget me The Republic of China is a country of constitutional government. It is no longer the law of the feudal dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. Now that it is a constitutional government, everything will be handled according to the law of constitutional government. The country needs you, and the country cannot do without you!"

"Hey..." Yuan Shikai showed pain, shook his head and sighed.Although Song Jiaoren dissuaded him so much, he still did not let go of his intention to resign as President. In order to persuade Yuan Shikai, Song Jiaoren spent a lot of effort, and finally talked for a long time before Yuan Shikai reluctantly gave up his idea.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter according to Dunchu's." In the end, Yuan Shikai nodded helplessly, but he asked again: "What does Dunchu think about Liang Yansun's treatment?"

To be honest, from Song Jiaoren's point of view, Liang Shiyi must not be treated lightly.However, at this time, he still remembered the meeting with Fang Zida before he came here, and he hesitated for a moment to look at Yuan Shikai who was sitting upright.

"What Liang Yansun did, according to the constitution, is to split the country and attempt to overthrow the existing government. This is a felony. If sentenced according to law, it is estimated that if he stays in prison for more than 20 to [-] years, he will definitely not be able to escape. Execution by shooting is also possible. But..." Speaking of this, Song Jiaoren paid attention to Yuan Shikai, saw that he closed his eyes slightly and did not respond, and said: "Fortunately, this matter was not really launched, and the scope was controlled to a very small number of people. Now, most people don't know the truth about this matter. From this point of view, it can be regarded as premeditated but not real. However, in order to learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, Liang Yansun must be dealt with. In my opinion, the court should be sentenced first. A few years, and then send him abroad."

"Does this make it easier?" Yuan Shikai asked slowly.

"Don't worry about this, the crime of premeditating is almost enough to be sentenced like this. If it is a real crime, this is absolutely impossible."

Nodding his head, Yuan Shikai finally agreed with Song Jiaoren's suggestion, but he asked how to deal with Liang Shiyi's accomplices.

Regarding this, Song Jiaoren didn't have any worries, and suggested on the spot that he should be punished severely, who should be arrested, who should be sentenced, who should be sentenced, and who should be killed!Yuan Shikai didn't say much after hearing this, but nodded in agreement.

Due to Yuan Shikai's poor health, after talking with Song Jiaoren, he just went downstairs to show his face together, said a few words and left.However, Song Jiaoren presided over the interim meeting of the National Assembly together with Lin Sen as the prime minister, and told everyone in the meeting that there was a group in Beijing that tried to overthrow zheng fu and establish another central yang. become a scourge, and at the same time took out a detailed list for everyone to discuss this matter.

Such a big news shocked everyone immediately, and there was an uproar at the scene. At the same time, these congressmen also understood the reason why the capital is so heavily guarded today.Since this matter has nothing to do with their fortunes, these councilors were immediately as excited as if they had received a chicken blood injection. They were all extremely enthusiastic, denouncing treason with high spirits, and demanded that the government severely punish these people.

Not to mention that the Congress was as lively as a vegetable market. After Yuan Shikai left the Congress, he did not return to the Presidential Palace, but went to the General Staff.At the General Staff Headquarters, Chief of General Staff Wang Shizhen and Minister of National Defense Duan Qirui had been waiting for a long time. When Yuan Shikai got off the carriage, they hurriedly supported him from left to right.

"President, how did you talk with Song Dunchu?" Wang Shizhen asked softly.

"It's okay, everything is under the old man's control." Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, and asked, "Where is Liang Yansun? Did you bring it here?"

"Yes!"

"Let's go and meet General Shi Shouxin Shi." Yuan Shikai's face darkened, and he sneered.

After being captured from the presidential palace, Liang Shiyi was taken to the General Staff Headquarters.Along the way, he stared at Yuan Keding who was with him with unbelievable eyes. He couldn't figure it out. It was clear that everything was under control, so why did Yuan Keding go back on his word and turn his back on the battle?If it weren't for this helpless Ah Dou who ruined his big event, maybe it would have been done by now.If Liang Shiyi hadn't been tied up tightly and had a numbness stuffed in his mouth, he might have raised his head and sighed: "I'm not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs."

After being sent to the General Staff Headquarters, Liang Shiyi was locked in a room.After a long time, I heard the door open, and then an unusually familiar voice sounded.

"Yan Sun, you let the old man down too much."

"Woo... woo..." This was Yuan Shikai's voice. Liang Shiyi turned his head and saw Yuan Shikai entering the room accompanied by Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui.

Yuan Shikai sat on the chair opposite him and looked at the bewildered Secretary-General Liang. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to say more now. , you, Liang Yansun, are extremely smart, why did you do such a stupid thing? Do you think that the world will be fine if you push this old man to the top? It is a big mistake. It makes this old man even more dissatisfied. You can use this old man, why bother? Put the cloud platform in together?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Waving at the struggling Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, and this matter will come to an end. Fortunately, no major disaster has been caused, otherwise the old man will not be able to protect you. Yansun, today It is also the last time that this old man will come to see you, so you can take care of yourself in the future."

After speaking, Yuan Shikai stood up and walked out with Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui.The moment the door closed, Liang Shiyi's eyes shed a line of long tears, and he understood in his heart that everything was over. (To be continued..)
