Liang Qichao also watched "I Have a Dream", and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, his dream had long been shattered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liang Qichao was keen to change the law and become strong in his early years, and later actively assisted Yuan Shikai, hoping that the republican system could save China. But Yuan Shikai's brain convulsions wanted to be emperor, and Liang Qichao conspired against Yuan, and since then he has been involved in endless political disputes.

Here you can see the difference between Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei, Kang Youwei first called for law change, and then supported Yuan Shikai's accession to the throne, and then instigated Zhang Xun to support Puyi's restoration and get rid of a political speculator. And Liang Qichao has only one goal, that is, to revitalize the country, he and Kang Youwei have long broken off their friendship, and even despises his former teacher from the bottom of his heart.

Liang Qichao's last highlight in the political arena was to actively support Duan Qirui's declaration of war on Germany despite the opposition of the majority of the country. He used his superb political skills to help Duan Qirui regain power in Beiyang, so that the "declaration of war against Germany" was passed by the Congress, making China the victorious country of the "First World War".

Since then, Liang Qichao has no longer been concerned with political affairs, he has seen through the essence of the Beiyang government, and has turned to immerse himself in research.

Liang Qichao threw away the newspaper and said to Zhou Hexuan with some loss: "China's hope depends on your generation." ”

"The hope of China has always been there," Zhou Hexuan said in a firm tone, "sir, you are a man of history." When we know the past dynasties, all the great unified dynasties of China will inevitably be strong and powerful. As long as we do a good job in national education, the speed of development will surely shock the whole world when the country is reunified. ”

"I hope I can live to see that day," Liang Qichao smiled reluctantly, got up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet Chief Ren and call Yi Zhong too." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Liang Qichao, Zhao Yuanren and Zhou Hexuan met Ren Kecheng, now China's Minister of Education, at the official residence of the Ministry of Education.

Ren Kecheng is a few years younger than Liang Qichao, he is short and fat, his body sways from side to side when he walks, if he takes off that pair of glasses, he will be a rich man in the countryside. Although he was in a high position, he had great respect for Liang Qichao, and personally walked to the door to greet him and said, "Ren Gong'an, what wind blew you here today?" ”

"Summer is naturally a south wind," Liang Qichao rarely joked, turned around and pointed at Zhou Hexuan and said, "This is Zhou Hexuan, a great talent who is honest and returned from abroad." ”

Zhou Hexuan immediately stepped forward: "I've seen Chief Ren." ”

"But Zhou Hexuan, who wrote "The Rise of a Great Power"?" Ren Kecheng asked in surprise.

Well, Zhou Hexuan wrote that book, even the Minister General of Education knew him, and writing a book was really the fastest way to become famous.

"It's this gentleman," Liang Qichao said with a smile, "Mingcheng also brought good things today, it depends on whether Zhiqing knows the goods." ”

Ren Kecheng said curiously: "But Mingcheng's new work?" ”

Zhao Yuanren took out the new pinyin scheme: "Chief Ren, please see, this is the pinyin method invented by Mingcheng, which is more simple and practical than the current pinyin scheme." ”

Don't look at Ren Kecheng's fat head, he doesn't belong to that kind of straw bag bureaucrat. This person is a pioneer of new education in Guizhou, and he was the governor of Guizhou a few years ago, but later he was tired of political disputes and simply buried himself in the first case to do his studies.

A while ago, Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu reorganized the cabinet, and Ren Kecheng happened to live in seclusion in Beiping, but he was inexplicably elected as the chief of education. He felt that this position was very satisfactory, because his old profession was education, so he happily took up his post. Historically, the "Chinese Alphabet Pinyin Law" was promulgated at the end of this year under his promotion.

Ren Kecheng is an official and private, and some clansmen once wanted to find errands through him, but he categorically refused. So there is a saying in Guizhou, called: A good Ren Kecheng, don't recognize his hometown.

But no matter how knowledgeable Ren Kecheng is and how fair and selfless he is, after getting Zhou Hexuan's new-style pinyin scheme, he was still embarrassed, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, Mingcheng." Your pinyin plan, if it was taken out a few years earlier, it is too late, the "Chinese Alphabet Pinyin Law" has been decided. ”

Zhao Yuanren asked, "Can the scholars be convened to reconvene the meeting and then agree?" ”

"It's impossible." Ren Kecheng vetoed it.

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly, he had long expected this result. Unless the dynasty is changed, it is impossible for him to implement this set of Hanyu Pinyin.

Although he can promote it in his Hope Primary School, it is a misguided child. Because as long as the Ministry of Education promulgates the "Chinese Alphabet Pinyin Law", then the national dictionary and dictionary must use Roman pinyin, and the students taught in the hope primary school cannot even look up the dictionary, right?

After bidding farewell to Ren Kecheng's retention, Zhou Hexuan returned to Tsinghua Park with some depression.

Halfway through, Liang Qichao comforted: "Mingcheng, everything can't be as expected, it's enough to work hard." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Xie taught. ”

"Mingcheng can have a marriage match?" Liang Qichao asked suddenly as he walked.

Zhou Hexuan was stunned: "Not yet." ”

Liang Qichao smiled: "Why don't I be the old man and help you find a lady?" ”

"Well, forget it." Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly.

"Hahaha," Liang Qichao laughed, "I know, you young people nowadays all advocate free love." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Look for it slowly, I'm still young." ”

Liang Qichao suddenly remembered Xu Zhimo's bad thing, he had agreed to be Xu Zhimo's marriage witness because of his feelings, and immediately warned: "It's okay to be free in love, but you must not destroy other people's marriages, this is a very immoral thing." ”

"Understood." Zhou Hexuan also thought of Tianjin, and said in his heart: It has been destroyed.

Liang Qichao smiled disrespectfully: "That's the daughter of a friend of mine, she can be called talented and beautiful, Mingcheng, you really don't plan to meet it?" ”

"Who?" Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but ask.

Liang Qichao said: "The son-in-law of Duan Zhiquan's family, who is in her twenties and is known as Hongyun, is also a progressive woman who has studied Western-style schools. ”

It turned out to be Duan Qirui's daughter......

Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly, and when he thought of Duan Hongye becoming his eldest brother, it really hurt his brain.

When the three of them returned to Tsinghua Garden, Liang Qichao smiled and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, there is an elegant thing that can forget sorrow, and I will teach you today." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Hexuan was extremely curious.

Zhao Yuanren saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Don't go, what can I do without you?" Liang Qichao grabbed Zhao Yuanren and didn't let go.

Zhao Yuanren smiled bitterly: "Don't pull it, your sleeves will be torn off by you." ”

Zhou Hexuan saw that the two behaved abnormally, and became more and more curious, and followed Liang Qichao to the courtyard where Wu Mi lived.

Liang Qichao shouted loudly: "Yuheng, come out to play cards!" ”

Zhou Hexuan was speechless for an instant, is this a special thing that can forget sorrow?

"What cards to play? I read books! Wu Mi's voice came out.

Liang Qichao ignored it, rushed into the room, grabbed Wu Mi's sleeve and dragged it out: "Playing mahjong, three are missing one." ”

Liang Qichao on the card table belongs to Confucius's move - all lost, and his card skills stink to the extreme. But he is still happy to do it, he once had a famous saying: only reading can forget to play cards, only playing cards can forget to read.

That night, Zhou Hexuan won more than 100 yuan, Wu Mi and Zhao Yuanren also won dozens of yuan, and only Liang Qichao was the happiest to lose.

The image of erudition and Hongru was instantly shattered into slag, and only the rotten gamblers who had repeatedly lost at the poker table remained.

Well, Zhou Hexuan can still blow to others in the future: I think back then, when I played cards with Mr. Liang Rengong, Zhao Yizhong, and Wu Yuheng......
