Years of the Republic of China 1913

() On January 1919, 6, Osamu.

This day happened to be Monday, and in the morning, a shocking news came from the Prime Minister's Office, the President's Office, and the Congress respectively.At 10 o'clock in the morning, Song Jiaoren, the former chairman of KMT and Premier of the State, formally submitted his resignation report to President Li Yuanhong and the two houses of Congress. Fang Zida, the new KMT chairman, will be the only candidate for the Prime Minister of the largest party in the Congress to start the election process for the Prime Minister in the Congress. After [-] days, the Congress will authorize President Li Yuanhong to appoint and pass a new Prime Minister to replace Song Jiaoren.

During the transition period, the position of Prime Minister is temporarily replaced by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Liao Zhongkai. After the new Prime Minister takes office, the members of the cabinet will continue to serve or reorganize the cabinet. This will be decided after the new Prime Minister is appointed.For a while, all the factions were stunned by the news. Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren competed for the party leader one after another. In the end, Song Jiaoren carelessly lost Jingzhou and lost the party leader's throne.According to everyone's opinion, Song Jiaoren will never let it go, and after the KMT party leader dispute, there will be a battle with Fang Zida for the prime minister. After all, considering Song Jiaoren's tenure, he still has half a year. Ren insisted on not resigning, and Fang Zida had nothing to do with him. Moreover, judging from Fang Zida's behavior after he took up the post of chairman, it seemed that he didn't want to force Song Jiaoren too much. . .

Therefore, all parties are secretly laughing, planning to watch this good show.But no one thought that after only ten days, Song Jiaoren would resign without any warning, which made everyone's eyes shattered.

Thinking back when KMT was established, Sun Wen was so prestigious and Song Jiaoren was not afraid, his fighting spirit was high, and Sun Wen lost his helmet and armor in a verbal battle, and took down the post of chairman.Sun Wen, who lost the election, became furious.I immediately quit KMT and went to Japan, which is still vivid in my mind.But now, where did that Song Jiaoren go?Is this still the never-say-lose Song Jiaoren?If Song Jiaoren hadn't taken the initiative to accept the reporter's interview after resigning, and publicly stated that the resignation was completely voluntary, I am afraid that everyone would have wondered if it was the result of Fang Zida's secret coercion.

On January 1919, 21, there was a great cold.

This day, the National Congress elected Fang Zida as the prime minister through procedures.In the afternoon of that day, Fang Zida went to the presidential palace, took over the appointment from President Li Yuanhong, and officially took office as the Prime Minister.

On the 22nd of January, the new cabinet meeting was held, and Fang Zida presided over the meeting as the prime minister for the first time.At the meeting, he did not make a drastic announcement to reorganize the cabinet. Except for the election of Tang Shaoyi to replace the finance minister and Yang Du to take over as the president of Zhongyang Bank, the rest of the cabinet members will remain unchanged for the time being.Fang Zida's decision at the meeting gave everyone a reassurance, and they all promised that they would do their best to do all the work well.We will continue to support Fang Zida as always. < Festival.Although Fang Zida, who had just assumed the post of Prime Minister, had the intention of burning three fires, he didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness at this time.What's more, compared with Song Jiaoren, Fang Zida's foundation in the cabinet is not yet solid, and it is better to take things slowly. <The festival is coming.Fang Zida's official residence is like an ordinary family, exuding a strong festive atmosphere.Although after taking office as Prime Minister.According to the usual practice, Fang Zida should live in the Prime Minister's Office, but Fang Zida still often returns to his official residence. As for the Prime Minister's Office, it is only used as an office.

Fang Yingtang is already five years old, such a big child can run and walk long ago, and it is also the most naughty time.It snowed heavily in the capital last night.There was a thick layer in the yard, and two maids were leading Fang Yingtang to build a snowman. The little guy was happily playing, and from time to time he grabbed and wiped the snow on the outline of the snowman with a giggle.

"Be careful, don't fall!"

"Got it, mother!"

Yuan Sizhen stood under the corridor and watched Fang Yingtang play with a smile.He gently stroked his slightly raised belly with one hand.After giving birth to Fang Yingtang, she has not been pregnant for some reason, until a few months ago when she felt a little unwell and asked a doctor to see her, she found out that she was finally pregnant.

This will be her and Fang Zida's second child. Over the years, Yuan Sizhen has always felt a little sorry for Fang Zida because of this incident. Only having more children is a blessing!In this era, which family is not full of children and grandchildren, as Fang Zida's wife, it is natural for Fang Zida to add children to the Fang family. For this reason, she even persuaded Fang Zida to accept a few concubines, but Fang Zida refused them all with a smile.

Although Yuan Sizhen complained to Fang Zida for this, Fang Zida's actions made her feel sweet.Growing up in a big family like the Yuan family, she was used to seeing men surrounded by wives and concubines since she was a child, but it was the first time she had heard of a husband like Fang Zida.

Seeing Fang Yingtang playing around, Yuan Sizhen stood for a while and got the maid to give some instructions, turned and left the yard.Not long after, she came near Fang Zida's study, asked the servant who was guarding outside, and then went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of lotus seed soup and served it with her own hands.

"Why did you leave the house in such a cold day?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Fang Zida looked up and saw that Yuan Sizhen stood up quickly.

"It's really uncomfortable to be bored in the house. It happened that Ying'er was going to play in the yard and came out for a walk. Here, this is the freshly cooked lotus seed soup. Drink it." Putting the bowl on the pit table, Yuan Sizhen said with a smile .

"It's fine to let the servants do these things. You have a body, so you should pay attention to it on weekdays."

"It's okay. It's only been three months. It's still early. Didn't the doctor say that it's good to move around more?"

"Thanks a lot……."

Looking at his wife's smiling face, Fang Zida nodded, took a sip of the lotus seed soup, raised his eyebrows and praised: "It's delicious! What you make with your own hands is delicious!"

"Old husband and wife, are you still boasting like this? Are you ashamed?" Yuan Sizhen covered her mouth and smiled. Although the lotus seed soup was no different from that made by ordinary chefs, Fang Zida made her very happy when she said this.

"Of course, if it tastes good, it tastes good, especially the lotus seed soup made by Madam herself. It's not even as good as the royal chef who cooked for Lafayette in the palace."

Fang Zida purposely made a few words to amuse him, drank it in a few sips, put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, and when he was about to touch the cigarette, he paused and retracted his hand.

Yuan Sizhen didn't notice Fang Zida's little gesture, and helped clean up the finished bowl.At this time, she saw that there was a pen and paper on the side of the pit table, densely written on it, and many of them were scribbled and corrected.But Yuan Sizhen didn't look carefully, she never asked Fang Zida about his business at home, unless Fang Zida asked her, otherwise she would not speak first.

But today.It just so happened that Fang Zida saw Yuan Sizhen glanced at what he wrote, picked it up and asked, "By the way, I've written something these days, how about you take a look at it for me?"

"What is it about?"

"Reorganize the cabinet."

"Reorganize the cabinet? Zida, didn't you say...?" Yuan Sizhen didn't take the initiative to ask about political affairs, which didn't mean she didn't understand the political situation, and she was taken aback for a moment.

"Hehe, once the emperor and the courtiers, it's just an expedient measure to stay still. If the new cabinet continues for a long time with the members of the previous cabinet, I, the prime minister, will be useless?" Fang Zida smiled and handed the paper to Yuan Sizhen.

Take a look at things.The divisions and names of various cabinet departments are densely written on it.Some people are current cabinet members, some are not, and some seem to be adjusted among various departments. Looking carefully, Yuan Sizhen frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Zida, is this too big?"

"These are initial ideas, and they haven't been finalized yet. I pondered it, except for the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs must be taken down. In addition, the Ministry of State and the General Staff One of them should also be taken down, as for the rest of the films, we can not move too much for the time being, and only make slight adjustments to avoid too much opposition."

The Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of National Defense, and the General Staff are the three most powerful departments in the cabinet, especially the former two are two of the top three chief ministers, and the General Staff, which was established after the Republic of China, is even more equal to the Ministry of National Defense.After years of building the national defense force, it has been vaguely ranked second only to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Liao Zhongkai, the Ministry of Defense is Duan Zhigui, and the General Staff is Wang Shizhen.Of the three, Liao Zhongkai is the easiest.After Song Jiaoren resigned, Liao Zhongkai continued to serve as the chief of internal affairs as the vice chairman of kmt. Besides, Liao Zhongkai is more upright and serious in his work. Although he is not really a member of the Fang family, it is not harmful for him to be the chief of internal affairs for Fang Zida , but moving Liao Zhongkai will cause some trouble.However, although Liao Zhongkai can't move, it is still possible for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a position of deputy chief of his faction. In this way, it is equivalent to capturing the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The trouble is with the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.These two bigwigs are both from the Beiyang faction, and behind Duan Zhigui are Duan Qirui and the Anhui faction. Although Duan Qirui has resigned, he still has great influence in the political arena. Even if Fang Zida wants to capture the Ministry of National Defense, he has to sell it Duan Qirui's face eased.As for Wang Shizhen, let alone, this is the boss of the three masters of Beiyang. In terms of seniority, Fang Zida has to call Shishu.

Yuan Sizhen is a smart person, after a little thought, he understood Fang Zida's true intentions.I couldn't help but asked, "Don't tell me you want to talk to the old man?"

Fang Zida nodded: "That's right. It's always impossible to voluntarily change the job. There must be trouble. However, according to the character of the boss, if you understand it with reason and move it with emotion, there is a nine out of ten chance. It's not convenient for me to come forward about this, these days you find an opportunity to use the reason of New Year's greetings to talk about it."

"Is this appropriate?" Yuan Sizhen didn't expect Fang Zida to ask her to be a lobbyist, and felt a little displeased.In her opinion, Wang Shizhen hasn't done anything wrong to Fang Zida these years, so why take this step?

Seeing Yuan Sizhen's expression, Fang Zida knew that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I'm going to ask you to let the old man resign immediately, but I just want to appoint a deputy director to assist the old man in daily work. The point of hiring the old chief of staff It won't change, unless Mr. Employer doesn't want to do it himself, I won't take the initiative to let him resign. But you also know that Mr. Employer is old after all, and the General Staff Department has a lot of official duties. With his energy, some tasks are too busy. It’s also good to have multiple hands to help.”
