Twenty-five. Three republics

Now he has to do it, Xie Huaichang thought to himself, he apologized to Wei Liweng in his mouth, but his hand did not stop, and he immediately tied Wei Liweng up. The old man's pearl was torn off, and it was scattered all over the place.

"Xie Huaichang, what are you going to do!" He couldn't struggle, so he shouted, "Someone, someone!" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the ticket has been bought, so I want to ask your old man to stay in his hometown for a while," Xie Huaichang said, "No more than half a month, I promise." ”

Wei Liweng had no demeanor at the moment, his face turned red, and he glared at Xie Huaichang angrily: "What is not more than half a month, what are you talking about?" ”

"The Manchu royal family no longer has the ability to lead China, and this can be seen clearly by all Chinese, but the father-in-law cannot see it clearly." He said, "At present, the Qing court has no soldiers and no one, and even the daily expenses are provided by the Republic of China, only relying on Zhang Xun, who is talking about unifying the whole country, I am afraid that he does not even have the ability to defend the city of Beijing. ”

He took Wei Liweng and strode towards the door, and Mrs. Wei followed in small steps, and Wei Liweng shouted her name: "Let him go of me!" ”

Mrs. Wei cried: "Let go of what to do, wait for the train, he will let you go." ”

Wei Liweng was furious, and he couldn't break free, so he was pressed all the way to the station by Xie Huaichang, he got off the train and shouted at the police, but when the police came, Xie Huaichang went to send them away.

When he was pushed onto the train, he said angrily to Xie Huaichang: "Your marriage contract with Yunru has been dissolved, as long as I live for one day, I will not let her enter your house!" ”

But Xie Huaichang didn't take it seriously at all, and also saluted Wei Liweng: "When things are peaceful in the coming days, I will plead guilty to my father-in-law." ”

After Wei Liweng left, Xie Huaichang hurried to send Wei Yunru back to Peking University. For Wei Liweng's words, Xie Huaichang is not serious, it is never casual to make a marriage contract between big families, and a rash withdrawal from the marriage is almost equivalent to slapping each other's faces, and it is entirely possible for the two families to have a hundred years of bad relations.

Wei Yunru is about to graduate, and she has recently gone to Lu Zhengxiang's office, and she has decided to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation, work as a secretary for Lu Zhengxiang, and learn diplomatic knowledge with him.

"Don't go out of school alone lately, just stay in school for a few days." Xie Huaichang told her, "Premier Duan may lead troops to besiege Beijing at any time." ”

Duan Qirui saw Zhang Xun very clearly, which can be understood from the braids he refused to cut, but compared with Feng Guozhang, who is ambitious and always shows off as a rough person, Zhang Xun reassured Li Yuanhong, maybe this is the reason why he agreed to Zhang Xun to enter Beijing to mediate the conflict between the government and the court. And Duan Qirui pushed the boat down the river, trying to solve the two political enemies with one stone.

As it turned out, he succeeded. After Li Yuanhong sent a telegram to the wilderness, Duan Qirui immediately issued a telegram in Tianjin to crusade against Zhang Xun, and also organized the army, called the "Rebel Army", and appointed himself as the General Department of the Rebel Army. This army set out at Machang on the 4th of July, officially began the battle on the 5th, and successfully entered the city of Beijing on the 12th. The capital on that day was as staggering as the day of the restoration, because the 5,000 soldiers and horses that Zhang Xun brought into Beijing were really vulnerable, and they were about to collapse under the general trend of the "rebel army", so that those old men who turned their heads when they heard the wind changed the direction of the wind overnight, throwing braids and yellow dragon flags all over the streets, and they were ready to pick them up.

The news of Wei Liweng's second abdication in Puyi, his hometown in Shandong, from his restoration to his abdication, was only twelve days, which was like a joke.

Duan Qirui, who won a great victory, returned to Beijing on July 14 and served as the premier, representing the Republic of China for six years, and the battle between the government and the court ended with his absolute victory. He sent people to the embassy district to welcome Li Yuanhong back as president, but on the same day issued a wanted warrant for Zhang Xun, Li Yuanhong understood the intention of his move, and also knew that he was defeated today, and he was afraid that he could only be the puppet president under Duan Qirui in the future, he couldn't stand this anger, so he simply took the blame and resigned, and recommended Vice President Feng Guozhang, who was in Nanjing, to Beijing to act as president.

Wei Yunru wrote a letter to Wei Liweng in Shandong, asking if they were ready to return to the capital, and the letter was finally replied by Mrs. Wei, saying that Xie Huaichang should go to the State Council and resign Wei Liweng, the so-called civil official, because he had decided to stay in Shandong for retirement.

Xie Huaichang's resignation letter written for him was sent directly to Duan Qirui's desk. The latter didn't open it at all, just glanced at the title on the envelope, and approved it with a smile.

"Now you can go back to Baoding with peace of mind."

Xie Huaichang smiled embarrassedly and complimented him casually: "The prime minister is now also the one who created a republic for the Republic of China." ”

Duan Qirui laughed quite smugly, and waved his hand again and again: "Where, where, it's just that I was pushed to the front of the stage, the republic is the desire of the people of the Republic of China, and it happened to be completed by my hand, and the people look up to me." ”

Since then, he has played out his "three republics" exploits, of course Sun Yat-sen, who is in Guangzhou, is not convinced, but in fact, not only Sun Yat-sen, but also many people in the Republic of China who are not convinced by Duan Qirui - Yuan Shikai is dead, and no one can tame this group of generals he raised.

Xie Huaichang went to Shandong and pleaded guilty to Wei Liweng. The latter, who was studying in the pavilion near the water, spoke to him through the window, and was not even allowed to enter the door: "I told you before that your marriage contract with my daughter is null and void. ”

Xie Huaichang was stunned: "Father-in-law, ......"

"Don't call me father-in-law." Wei Liweng had a cold face, "I can't afford it." ”

Xie Huaichang thought he was talking angrily, so he quickly put up a smile on his face, nodded and said good things to Wei Liweng.

"Principal Xie, why bother?" Wei Liweng pinched a book and said in the authoritative tone of a Qing Dynasty official, "You are a man of lofty ideals who is worried about the country and the people, I am the widow of the old lord who is foolish and loyal, my daughter is not worthy of you, and please find another good match, the dowry sent by your parents, our family has not touched a cent, I will find someone to carry back to Zhenjiang in a few days, you and my daughter...... In this regard, the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other. ”

Xie Huaichang realized that he was serious, and immediately panicked, and knelt down to him through the window: "Ask your father-in-law to dissipate your anger, it was the younger son-in-law who was ignorant and ignorant, and he collided with his father-in-law, please dissipate his anger." ”

Wei Liweng snorted coldly: "What are you doing on your knees?" Get up, don't you newcomers of the Republic of China pay attention to new etiquette, don't you want to shake hands and not kneel? Why don't you come over and I'll shake your hand? I just don't know if you're willing to give me this face. ”

If the literati want to be mean, they can't compare with the 10,000 shrews who curse the streets, because they are full of poetry and books, so they know better what to say. Xie Huaichang argued with Wei Liweng, only admitting his mistakes again and again, and the quarrels and arguments between literati were only between one thought, and the argument could still respond to the sentence "The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes", but if there is a quarrel, then there is only winning or losing, regardless of right and wrong.

Xie Huaichang knows how to deal with different elders with different attitudes, when he was forced to leave the capital before, he was impassioned, he wanted to use words to stun him, so that he couldn't react, and he was already sent to the train when he was at a loss, but now he can only blindly follow his wishes, so that he can vent the resentment in his heart.

His strategy was very effective, Wei Liweng said and said, then he walked out of the Xuan Pavilion with emotion, he stood in front of Xie Huaichang, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Do you think you followed that Duan Zhiquan to serve the Ming Lord?" Let me tell you, without Duan Zhiquan, this restoration would not have succeeded at all, and we, as well as you, have all been deceived by Duan Zhiquan! ”

Xie Huaichang was really taken aback by these words, and he raised his head suddenly: "Please teach my father-in-law." ”

Wei Liweng sneered: "That night, we entered the palace in the early morning to face the saint, and among them was Wang Shizhen. When you are Zhang Shuai, you dare to enter Beijing and restore with only 5,000 people? Let me tell you, all this was manipulated by him Duan Zhiquan, the purpose of which was to force Li Yuanhong to let Zhang Shuai into Beijing, I only understood after you drove out of Beijing, the overseers of the fifteen provinces in the world, no matter who they called, they were all the first to drive the wolf and then welcome the tiger, only Zhang Shuai would not, because he didn't want to be the president at all, he was loyal to the emperor, so Duan Zhiquan grabbed the handle, instructed the overseers to pretend to agree with the restoration, and after he entered Beijing, he turned his face and played a game of catching turtles in an urn. ”

Xie Huaichang's face was ugly, and Wei Liweng began to be proud, but he was only proud for a moment, and then he was gloomy, and finally sighed: "What do you say about 'three republics', it's just for your own power, whether it's for the people, or for the sake of others, but whoever goes to the center of power, there is nothing that doesn't think about himself, even if something happens to the people, he takes care of himself first, and then takes care of the people." ”

Xie Huaichang recovered from the shock, he silently listened to Wei Liweng's words, and said in a low voice: "Those who care for the people, the people will repay them with the country, and those who take care of themselves will repay them with temporary profits." ”

When he came out of the Xuan Pavilion, Mrs. Wei sent a girl to wait in front of the Moon Gate. Whether a family has financial resources or not, it is about to be shown here, the Wei family and his wife have only returned from the capital for a month, and the mansion has been cleaned up, and the newly purchased maid has made it look like they have lived in the mansion for more than ten years.

"Ning Yin will eat here in the evening," said Mrs. Wei, "and then go to Baoding after a day or two." ”

Xie Huaichang was still thinking about his marriage, and asked Mrs. Wei quietly: "My father-in-law said that my marriage contract with Yunru is invalid, my mother-in-law, this is ......"

"Don't listen to your dad's, he's dizzy." Mrs. Wei said, "You see, I have already begun to arrange the mansion for my relatives, I originally wanted Yunru to marry in Beijing, and I happened to marry into your family's capital garden, but now I am afraid that I will have to leave from Shandong." ”

The changes in the capital did not affect Zhenjiang, but the wedding originally scheduled to be held in Beijing was suddenly changed to the old mansion, which made Mrs. Qin feel surprised and in a hurry. Although the old house has been decorated with joy, but as far as the wedding is concerned, it is still a little shabby, she had to reallocate a sum of money, decorate the old house lively, and complained: "There are only two months left, and suddenly such a change of words, it is really something that can only be done by a small family." ”
