Since the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, Li Yuanhong's political status has risen rapidly, and he has changed his negative attitude in the past and has become active in his work.

Tang Hualong took a copy of the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China" written after painstaking meditation, 'handed over' it to Li Yuanhong's hand, and said respectfully: "Governor Li, how about the regulations I wrote?" ”

Li Yuanhong read the regulations carefully, patted his big 'legs' happily, and said three times in a row: "Okay!" "Good!" "Good!" Tang Hualong looked at Li Yuanhong flatteringly and said, "What's the good?" Li Yuanhong looked at Tang Hualong slyly and said, "Do you still need me to say this matter...... You're so smart. With that, the two of them laughed.

Gongren was doing other things, and he happened to go upstairs, and when he heard Li Yuanhong so happy, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said to Tang Qingying: "I have never seen Li Yuanhong so happy, if he is not happy, our revolution will go smoothly, if he is happy, maybe any of us will suffer." ”

Tang Qingying said angrily: "It's not just who suffers, it's about to change the sky." Especially Tang Hualong, this kid, has a bad stomach, it is really fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, and the old turtle finding Wang Bajia. Let's go, let's see, they have found some cheap firewood again. ”

The two of them entered Li Yuanhong's house, and Gongren said to Li Yuanhong with a smile on his face: "Why is Governor Li so happy!" Li Yuanhong saw that Gong Ren and Tang Qingying were coming, and his happy face suddenly drooped.

Gong Ren saw a document on the table and wanted to pick it up to read it, Li Yuanhong hurriedly covered it with his hand and said, "You can't read it, you have to 'hand' it over to the Strategy Department." Tang Qingying pushed his hand, snatched the document and said, "What a great document, look at another piece." Gong Ren, take a look! ”

Tang Hualong's face changed, and he said, "How can you be so rude? How can the documents of the Governor of Ritu be read casually? Which part of it can be done by military law! Tang Qingying approached Tang Hualong's face and said, "What kind of mountain are you, you dare to engage in military law against me." Okay, I'll wait for you to do military justice, come-come-"

Tang Hualong looked at Tang Qingying, both like a 'female' soldier and a 'female' hero, and he was not very old, arguing with her, it was inevitable that he would have a share, so he drooped his head and stopped talking.

Gong Ren picked up the document and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. Tang Qingying asked, "What is written?" Gong Ren said: "Well written! Li Yuanhong asked Gongren with a smile on his face: "What's good?" ”

Gong Ren smiled and said, "It's too 'fine' color, it's too 'fine' color." First, the title is the Chinese Republic of China, so isn't Li Dudu the governor of the Chinese Republic of China? In that case, Mr. Sun Yat-sen will have to obey your leadership. The second is that the document is said to be reversed, the military power belongs to the governor of Li, and the political affairs belong to Tang Hualong, you two are really great. Well, Tang Hualong, it turns out that the military and political fǔ did not stipulate that you are fully responsible for political affairs? No one appoints you, appoint yourself, wise, wise. Another point, I can see, this political matter is completely independent, isn't this the division of military and political rule? ”

After listening to Gong Ren's words, Tang Qingying was furious, grabbed the document and tore it to pieces, threw it on Tang Hualong's face and said, "What are you, kick your nose in the face, and write such a bullshit article again, see if I don't kill you!" As he spoke, he pulled out his gun, and Gong Ren hurriedly stopped her and said: "No, no, the wind blows down the plane tree, and someone comes to judge the short and long, we don't have so much power." ”

was so frightened that Tang Hualong's face was like ashes, and he hid back and muttered: "Anyway, I am also the general speaker, and I will talk about work with the governor of Lidu, you ...... What qualifications do you have to tear up my files, what qualifications do you have! I still want to pull out my gun and use force, it's too ...... It's so lawless. ”

Gong Ren hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said to Tang Hualong: "She is a martial artist, anyone dares to kill, even Rui Zheng almost let her kill." Kill people, don't even blink an eyelid, don't be like her! As he spoke, he happily pulled Tang Qingying and hurried away.

After Gong Ren and Tang Qingying left, Li Yuanhong said to Tang Hualong with a sad face: "Look, I don't have any power at all. Even the guards are their people, and they say they are guards, but they are actually spying on me. ”

Tang Hualong also cried and said: "I also know that you have no real power, but I didn't expect that you would be such a coward that even two small soldiers dared to insult you in person." How did you become a governor? No, I must help you get back the true power of the Governor. Li Yuanhong sighed and said, "I have nothing to do, I can only count on you." ”

Tang Hualong thought hard for a night, thought about it, and felt that he should still go to Juzheng. Besides, Ju Zheng and Huang Zhongkai met in Japan and were still good friends, so they spoke closer. So Tang Hualong set up a table of banquets and went to invite Juzheng with Huang Zhongkai.

Ju Zheng was also not polite, and generously came to Tang Hualong's house. When I entered the 'door', I saw the table of sumptuous wine and food, and said humbly: "The revolution is at a critical juncture. ”

Tang Hualong and Huang Zhongkai patted Juzheng's sycophants together. Tang Hualong said: "Although the Juzheng brothers are young, they are far-sighted and oversight, and your one move to worship the heavens has pushed the work of the Hubei military and political government to a new level." Huang Zhongkai said: "Your old friend is indeed extraordinary, and your ceremony to worship the heavens is really deeply admired by our senators, and we feel ashamed!" ”

Ju Zheng waved his hands again and again and said: "Where, where, this ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens and winning the hearts of the people is not your idea of Tang Hualong?" ”

Several people drank wine and ate food, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. While talking, Ju Zhengjiao came to complain and said: "Although I am a member of the League, the revolutionary party in Wuhan is mainly the Communist Party and the Literary Society, and there are not many 'exchanges' in the past. So, they and I are like a layer of skin. Tang Hualong said: "Hey, don't forget, they are them, we are old friends." As long as I, the President of the General Senate, are here, the senators will have to listen to you. ”

Ju Zheng hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Where, where, you can't say that you listen to me, you should listen to the revolution and Sun Yat-sen." Tang Hualong further guided: "Now the military and political fǔ people, the government decrees are different, the composition is complex, the fish eyes are 'mixed', and everyone has it. Maybe the Qing army will come over after a while, and once the two sides start a war, how can they unite and how can they repel the Qing army? I look at the hanging ......" Ju Zheng also sighed and said, "This is exactly what I am worried about!" ”

Tang Hualong suddenly changed his words and said: "I have a plan, the military and the government will be able to unite and fight the enemy together." Ju Zheng was overjoyed and said, "What tricks do you have, tell me what you think?" Tang Hualong took out the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China" from his body and handed it to Ju Zheng and said: "You look at this regulation and give your opinions?" ”

Ju Zheng took the regulations and watched them carefully, Tang Hualong's heart "dong dong" kept jumping, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Ju Zheng's demeanor.

"Oops!" Ju Zheng suddenly slammed the table. was so frightened that Tang Hualong's heart suddenly hung up.

Ju Zheng shouted repeatedly: "Well, well, the logic is rigorous, the writing is smooth, and it is done in one go." Tang Hualong nervously asked, "Is it good or bad?" Ju Zheng said repeatedly: "Great! That's great! That's great! Who wrote it. Tang Hualong whispered: "I wrote it, I don't know if you praise me or sarcastically mock me?" Ju Zheng patted Tang Hualong's shoulder and said, "Good is good, bad is bad, how can I be sarcastic?" Only then did Tang Hualong put his heart down.

Tang Hualong carefully explained: "Only by centralizing power, unifying government orders, military unification, and financial unity can we start a war with the Qing army. Ju Zheng smiled and said, "You and I just think the same, so why don't you hurry up and 'hand' this document to the Strategy Department." Tang Hualong shook his head slightly and said: "Don't mention it, the Strategy Department doesn't believe me, if I 'hand over' this document, they should say that I have seized power." Only if you 'hand' it over, can you get their approval. ”

Ju Zheng stretched out his hands and said, "But I'm not familiar with the people in the strategy department?" Tanghua longan beads turned, nodded beside him and said: "What's so difficult about this, you just say that this is Sun Yat-sen's overseas draft, who of them dares not believe it." ”

Ju Zheng had a difficult "look" and said, "How can I pretend to be Mr. Nakayama?" This is not right. Tang Hualong said: "The crux of the matter is that even if this document is correct, they do not trust it, and they only trust it if it is drawn up by Sun Yat-sen himself." For the sake of the great cause of the revolution, revolutionaries must have the courage to assume part of the responsibility. As long as the revolution succeeds, it is well worth sacrificing personal interests. ”

Ju Zheng thought about it for a while, and as long as it was beneficial to the revolution, everything was put aside, so he nodded and agreed.

So Ju Zheng 'handed over' this document to Li Zuodong, falsely claiming that this document was drafted by Sun Yat-sen overseas. The revolutionary party believed it and unanimously adopted this document, which was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of China on October 22.

Li Yuanhong was in power, and immediately issued an order on October 23, and the personnel arrangements were as follows: Minister of Military Orders: Du Xijun; Minister of Military Affairs: Sun Wu; Chief of Staff: Zhang Jinglong; Minister of Political Affairs: Tang Hualong. The Ministry of Political Affairs is in charge of the seven bureaus, and the directors are: Huang Zhongkai, director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Shu Lijian, director of the Finance Bureau, Hu Ruilin, director of the Justice Bureau, Chen Dengshan, director of the Communications Bureau: Ma Ganghou, director of the Clerical Bureau: Ruan Yusong, and director of the Establishment Bureau: Zhang Guorong.

At the command, the revolutionary party was in an uproar.

Gongren found Cai Jimin and said: "Except for Sun Wu, who is not in Wuchang, who is a member of the Communist Party, the rest of the people are either officers of the Qing army or senators of the Advisory Bureau, and there is no need to fight with the Qing army in the future, these people simply lead the Qing army to fight us." ”

Tang Qingying was even more angry and wanted to jump high, and shouted at Cai Jimin: "You provoked me, and really killed those people." If the can make honey, what do you need bees for? ”

Xiong Bingkun, Wu Xinghan, Deng 'Yu'lin, and Zhang Tingfu) of the Strategy Department all expressed strong dissatisfaction. Cai Jimin said to the comrades in the strategy department: "What does Li Yuanhong want to do? If you want to seize power, is it in a hurry? Wu Zhaolin also felt that such a personnel arrangement was too outrageous.

After some discussion, the revolutionary party transferred the complaint to the regulations drawn up by Sun Yat-sen. Cai Jimin said: "A thousand should not, never do, Sun Yat-sen is not familiar with the situation in Hubei, and he should not 'mess' with the draft regulations. Now it's okay, Li Yuanhong has the sword above in his hand, and he can do whatever he wants. Xiong Bingkun also said angrily: "It can't go on like this, they don't want to make a revolution in the first place, and with our people in control, they probably don't dare to do anything." Once they all become their people, Wuchang will be a big 'chaos'! ”

Gong Ren saw that they were still 'blinded' in the dark, and said angrily: "Which regulations were drafted by Sun Yat-sen, and were they obviously written by Tang Hualong himself, why did the three transmissions and two transmissions become Sun Yat-sen's drafting?" ”

Cai Jimin, Xiong Bingkun, and Deng 'Yu'lin heard Gong Ren's words, and felt that things were even more extraordinary, and they all looked at Gong Ren's eyes. Cai Jimin said to Gong Ren: "You explain things plainly, what's going on?" ”

Gong Ren told Li Yuanhong about the regulations written by Tang Hualong that day, and said to everyone: "You don't believe it, and Tang Qingying testifies." Tang Qingying said repeatedly: "This is still false, when did my brother Ren say a lie." You can't be like those people, yang and 'yin' are violated, and duplicity is wrong. ”

Everyone was talking about you and me sentence by sentence, and Sun Wu entered the strategy department. As soon as Sun Wu came in, everyone immediately enthusiastically gathered around to ask for warmth, although Sun Wu's face was still wrapped in gauze and there was a bandage hanging on his right hand, but his 'spirit' was much better.

Sun Wu immediately waved his hand at everyone and said, "I have heard everyone's words, first of all, let's 'find out' whether this regulation was drafted by Mr. Sun Yat-sen?" Everyone said, "Yes, yes." Sun Wu immediately ordered: "Call Li Zuodong first?" ”

After a while, Li Zuodong came, and he was naturally very happy to see Sun Wu, and he wanted to talk about his family. Sun Wu asked Li Zuodong: "You talk about this matter first, who asked you to convey this "Interim Regulations of the Republic of China", and who said that it was drafted by Sun Yat-sen overseas?" Li Zuodong said: "It's Juzheng, he is a member of the Alliance, how can his words be false?" Sun Wu asked someone to hurry up and find Juzheng.

After a while, Ju Zheng came. Sun Wu hurriedly greeted him, shook hands with him warmly with his left hand, and after a few words of greeting, Sun Wu politely asked Ju Zheng: "Is this "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China" drafted by Mr. Sun Yat-sen overseas?" ”

When Ju Zheng heard this, he was shocked, and his cowardly eyes looked at so many officers around him, hesitated slightly, and hurriedly said, "Yes, don't you still believe me?" Sun Wu didn't speak, and glanced at Gong Ren.

Gongren said to Ju Zheng: "I have seen this document, and I saw that it was written by Tang Hualong, and then 'handed' it to Li Yuanhong. How did it become Sun Yat-sen's writing? Ju Zheng's face sank, and he hurriedly asked Sun Wu: "What is this person doing?" ”

Deng 'Yu'lin hurriedly introduced: "This is Comrade Gongren, a member of the old League, who is very familiar with Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing. I dare to vouch for his personality that there will be no falsehood in his words. ”

Ju Zheng saw that he could no longer be 'deceived', so he said: "Alas, that's the case, I see that the Hubei military government fǔ Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong have vain names and have no real power, and I am afraid that once the war with the Qing government starts, it will be difficult to lead the army and people in Hubei to fight together, so I am anxious!" …… Therefore, it is said that the regulations written by Tang Hualong were drawn up by Sun Yat-sen overseas. Only in this way can our revolutionary party accept it, and it will also be conducive to the concentration of power by Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong, and it will be more conducive to the work of the military and government in Hubei. ”

Gong Ren became anxious when he heard this, and shouted at Ju Zheng: "What right do you have to falsely preach the holy decree? Do you know the consequences of doing so? Do you understand the current thoughts of Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong? Tang Qingying scolded: "How can you be like a fool, you don't have enough success, and you have more than enough failures." It's really a stinky 'meat' and a bad pot of soup. Xiong Bingkun stomped his feet and said, "Your brush has 'kept us all in the dark'." It's a big deal! It's a big deal! ”

Everyone muttered, and the spearhead came towards Ju Zheng together.

Ju faced the gossip of the people, accusing one after another, but still kept confessing himself: "Comrades, comrades, I have such a good heart!" There are so many teachings here, how do I know, I have done bad things with good intentions! ”

Sun Wu waved his hand at everyone and said, "Comrades, comrades, Ju Zheng is our comrade, don't be like this, don't be like this. After everyone quieted down, Sun Wu said to Ju Zheng: "Comrade Ju Zheng, we are all soldiers, we speak straightforwardly and quickly, just 'figure out' the matter." You'd better go and rest! ”

Ju Zheng tilted his head and muttered unconvinced: "I was kind enough to help the Hubei military and government with advice, but I didn't expect to attract such an attack." Alas, what kind of 'door' heart am I'm '', it's really hard to repay my kindness. After saying that, I quickly found a place to rest.

Sun Wu said to everyone: "Since this regulation was written by Tang Hualong, we don't admit it, just write another one." Don't we still have a strategy? Everyone said, "Yes! Right! Write another one. ”

Therefore, under the organization of Sun Wu, the revolutionary party of the strategy department wrote a "Provisional Regulations on the Revision of the Military Administration of the Republic of China", which not only expounded the purpose of the revolution and the revolutionary regulations, but also changed the original four ministries into nine ministries, and most of the ministers were assigned to the revolutionaries, and the governor was still Li Yuanhong. The ministers of the departments are as follows: Minister of Military Orders: Du Xijun (formerly the Qing military management belt); Minister of Military Affairs: Sun Wu (Gongjin Association); Chief of Staff: Yang Kaijia (formerly the Qing military management band); Minister of the Interior: Yang Shijie (Alliance); Minister of Foreign Affairs: Hu Ying (Japan Notification Association, Alliance Association); Minister of Finance: Lee Chok Tong (Communal Association); Minister of Communications: Xiong Jizhen (League), Minister of Justice: Zhang Zhiben (League), Minister of Establishment: Tang Hualong (Constitutional).

The newly drafted regulations also have several features. The first was the ministers and senators, and the senators were very important at that time, and they could participate in the legislation and the discussion of politics. The second is that the inspectors are elected by the insurgents, thus emphasizing the important role of the insurgents. The third is that secretaries, advisers, senators, and inspectors all have a member to show the meaning of public servant.
