Years of the Republic of China 1913

() Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai sat down on the sofa in the outer room. They didn't go to get the tea table with the water glass on it. Tang Shaoyi took out the cigarette case from his pocket and opened it, and raised his hand to pass it to Liao Zhongkai.

Nodding his head, Liao Zhongkai took a cigarette and lit it on the fire that Tang Shaoyi was lighting.

"Brother Zhongkai, between Zhang Ming and Dunchu..." Taking a puff of cigarette and putting the cigarette case on the table, Tang Shaoyi subconsciously looked towards the closed door.

"Hey... I just hope they can reach an agreement." Liao Zhongkai shook his head and sighed. To be honest, he didn't expect this ending. Now Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren are in the same situation, with Song Jiaoren's always proud and arrogant personality I really don't know what will happen next.Today, although they invited Fang Zida to come here at the invitation of Song Jiaoren, Liao Zhongkai has no idea about the conversation between the two of them. If they really fall out, kmt will become everyone's joke, and China's The political situation will also undergo unforeseen major changes.

This truth is not only known by Liao Zhongkai, but also by Tang Shaoyi, the former prime minister.According to their thinking, peace is the most important thing, but is Song Jiaoren willing to fail?No one is sure about this answer. Neither Tang Shaoyi nor Liao Zhongkai knew Song Jiaoren's character very well. He was a man full of fighting spirit and conviction. Under such circumstances, it was not easy for him to bow his proud head. ..

Smoking in silence, the two of them didn't speak for a while.A few minutes later, there were a few shouts and curses from the closed door, which seemed to be from Fang Zida.Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai were taken aback at the same time. Before they could react, Song Jiaoren's voice sounded. The two voices seemed to be discussing something fiercely, but because they were too far away, they pricked up their ears. Only a few words were vaguely heard, but they couldn't make out what they were arguing about.

"What's going on? Why did you quarrel like this all of a sudden?" Liao Zhongkai heard the tone of both sides getting more intense, and he couldn't help standing up: "No. I have to go and see."

"Don't!" Before Liao Zhongkai could take a step, Tang Shaoyi grabbed him, shook his head and said, "It might be counterproductive to go in now, let alone what if you go in? We'd better wait."

"This..." Liao Zhongkai was taken aback, frowned and looked at the door where the voice came from, then turned to look at Tang Shaoyi.After thinking for a while, he sat down helplessly.

It didn't take long to sit down, the noisy voice just before suddenly disappeared, and the room was so quiet that one even wondered if anyone was inside.

Staring at the door with anxiety, both Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai were worried that Fang Zida or Song Jiaoren would suddenly slam the door out.Fortunately, this guess did not become a fact. A few minutes later, the door was still closed.

Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai looked at each other suspiciously, wondering what happened in the room.As time went by, a bad mood filled their hearts, and it made them more and more worried.

It wasn't until some couldn't bear to get up and go closer to listen to the movement that the slight voice came out from the room intermittently. After listening carefully, it was Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren's. Only then did the two feel completely relieved. Shaking his head and smiling wryly, he relaxed his body on the sofa.

the entire afternoon.Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai have been waiting outside, while Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren have been talking in the back room.They argue from time to time.Sometimes quarreling, and sometimes talking calmly.But what are they arguing about, why are they arguing, and what are they talking about?No one knows these.

When the sky outside gradually darkened and Tang Shaoyi's pack of cigarettes was about to run out, the door of the room that had been closed was finally opened.

"Escape from the beginning!"

Unexpectedly.The door opened and the one standing at the door was not Fang Zida, but Song Jiaoren.He has been in a bad mood these days, but now he looks tired and his body is a little weak. He stands at the door holding the door frame with one hand and the doorknob with the other.Look up at them.

"Two, please come in."

"Dunchu you...?"

"It's okay, come in." Song Jiaoren nodded to them with a smile, and the careful Liao Zhongkai was slightly taken aback when he saw his eyes, because Song Jiaoren's eyes, which had been dull these days, returned to the previous bright eyes, and the whole Although the person looked a little weak due to fatigue, his expression improved a lot.

Momo and Tang Shaoyi exchanged glances, and the two got up and walked into the house.

In the room, Song Jiaoren was already sitting on the sofa where he was originally sitting, and Fang Zida sat calmly on his left hand side.Judging from their expressions, neither Tang Shaoyi nor Liao Zhongkai could see anything. After entering the door, they nodded to them first, and then sat down accordingly.

"Shaochuan, Zhongkai, you have worked hard these days..." Song Jiaoren said when they sat down.

"Dunchu, we..." Liao Zhongkai apologized and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Song Jiaoren's wave.

"When the Revolution of [-] was successful, in order to realize the ideal of governing the country, we disbanded the Tongmenghui and united the Republican Party, the National Communist Party, the Nationalist Party, the Republican Real Progressive Party and other parties to establish kmt. Our ideal was to use a new system to Save this country. Just like a doctor saves patients, save the former bad government, replace the du cai with the cabinet system, and replace the dictatorship with the constitutional system, so that our country will finally become a min zhu, rich and powerful new China! Over the years, With the efforts of all comrades, the country has implemented constitutionalism, improved laws, unified the provinces, reorganized the national army, and vigorously supported industry and commerce... The whole country is moving forward for our original goal little by little. I, Song Jiaoren, feel both emotional and emotional about this. It's proud."

Speaking of this, Song Jiaoren glanced at Fang Zida, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and sighed for a long time: "After Song became the chairman of the board of directors and the prime minister of the state, Fang Zhangming has contributed a lot to the party and the country. I don’t want to talk about the merits and demerits between XX and Fang Zhangming, but what Song XX wants to say is that if it weren’t for his financial efforts and many suggestions on national construction, the current cabinet would not have achieved such great achievements. .”

Fang Zida smiled faintly, but did not answer, and sat quietly looking at Song Jiaoren.

Song Jiaoren continued to review the work of KMT and the country when he was KMT chairman and prime minister, not only Fang Zida, but also Tang Shaoyi, Liao Zhongkai and others, and he also said something about his role in decision-making. where the mistakes were made.These words made Tang Shaoyi and the others a little stunned. These words sounded like they were explaining the funeral. What happened to Song Jiaoren?What was the discussion between him and Fang Zida?

After finishing speaking, Song Jiaoren finally said: "Now, according to the resolution of the National Party Congress, I no longer serve as the chairman of the board. According to the country's constitutional system, the new chairman, Fang Zhangming, will submit an application for reorganization of the cabinet to the Congress on behalf of kmt. As the implementer of the constitutional system, I, Song Jiaoren, have a duty to do so! So starting tomorrow, I will submit a resignation report to the National Assembly on behalf of the cabinet, and during the transition period, brother Lao Zhongkai will be the prime minister."

"Dun Chu, you are..." Liao Zhongkai was startled, although the result would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so soon.Song Jiaoren resigned as the Prime Minister, and Liao Zhongkai was the Chief of Internal Affairs. From a legal point of view, it was natural for Song Jiaoren to temporarily replace Song Jiaoren in charge of the cabinet, but it happened so suddenly that he couldn't help accepting it for a while.

"Zhongkai, this is a state matter, not a private matter!" Song Jiaoren said seriously: "You are the chief of the interior, if you don't come forward, who can come forward? Once someone with ulterior motives contributes to this matter, and the country's political situation is in turmoil, who can take responsibility for it?" burden?"

Liao Zhongkai opened his mouth, but had no choice but to agree.

"Brother Shaochuan."

"Tunchu, please tell me."

"Brother Shaochuan is a veteran in the political arena and has rich experience in state affairs. If Song hadn't been too radical back then and made brother Shaochuan resign sadly, I am afraid that the Prime Minister would not fall on my head."

"You can't say that. To be honest, everyone knows what the political situation was like back then. I, the Prime Minister of the State, also rushed to the shelves on the spot. I don't have the ability to govern a country. No matter compared with Dunchu or Zhang Ming, Tang Mou Far worse, this self-knowledge is still there." Tang Shaoyi smiled and shook his head, saying that he, the first prime minister of the state, was really not good at that time, although there were some reasons for his resignation, Song Jiaoren, but the biggest reason lay in the north and south. Contradictions, the country's finances went bankrupt, and the government had no authority at all. Yuan Shikai was in control at the top, and the warlords of the provinces at the bottom didn't listen to orders.

"Brother Shaochuan is fine if you don't blame him." Song Jiaoren nodded slightly, and said gratifiedly: "Since that's the case, will Brother Shaochuan help Zhong Kai during Song's resignation? To prevent the central yang from being unstable?"

"This..." Tang Shaoyi didn't expect Song Jiaoren to make such a request, and he immediately understood that Song Jiaoren wanted to use his fame to suppress other parties inside and outside the cabinet, so as to prevent some people from acting recklessly at such a time. such thoughts.Looking at Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida who didn't say a word, Tang Shaoyi had no choice but to agree.

After saying this, Song Jiaoren said some more about his arrangements after resignation.After explaining all this, Song Jiaoren turned to look at Fang Zida, Fang Zida nodded slightly, got up and said goodbye.

Liao Zhongkai sent Fang Zida out, and the two of them didn't speak a word all the way. When Fang Zida was about to get in the car at the door, Liao Zhongkai couldn't help asking: "What did you and Dunchu talk about? Why did he resign voluntarily?"

Fang Zida turned around, looked at the puzzled Liao Zhongkai and thought for a while, then said softly: "Zhongkai, Dunchu is different from Sun Wen, he is not only a revolutionary, but also a politician with ideals , not to mention realizing constitutionalism in China is his lifelong wish, if he were to destroy the constitutional system he had built with great difficulty, do you think he would choose this way?"

At the same time, in the house, Tang Shaoyi asked Song Jiaoren the same question, and Song Jiaoren's answer was similar to Fang Zida's. He said to Tang Shaoyi: "Song's life is to promote constitutionalism. This is Song's philosophy and the future of the country. Direction, if anyone wants to destroy this system, no matter who it is, I will never allow it!" (To be continued. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
