Song Jiaoren gave various speeches in Shanghai, which attracted widespread attention, and then Song Jiaoren began to decide to go north to officially take over as prime minister, at this time he was triumphant, and he did not expect that there was an assassin hidden in the Shanghai railway station. As Song Jiaoren waved goodbye to the many KMT members and mass reporters who saw him off at the train station, the assassin Ying Guixin drew a pistol and shot Song Jiaoren, the bullet entered his body through the back, hit him in the right rib, and slanted into the abdomen, and the killer opened fire and fled.

Song Jiaoren was in unbearable pain, fell down on a chair, pulled Yu Youren's head to his chest with his hands, and gasped and said: "I am in great pain, and I can't afford to ...... death." Huang Xing, Yu Youren, and Liao Zhongkai, who were seeing him off at the railway station at that time, sent Song Jiaoren to the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Hospital for first aid.

In the hospital, Song Jiaoren left a will to Yu Youren: I would like to inform you of three things: 1. All books deposited in Nanjing, Beijing and Tokyo will be donated to the Nanjing Library; Second, I am from a poor family, and my mother is still there, if I die, please Keqiang, my husband and the deceased to take care of me; 3. All the public should work hard, do not think of me, and give up the sense of responsibility. I have worked hard to reconcile the affairs of the North and the South, but the rumor-mongers and a group of people do not know what happened, and every time I misunderstand, I should suffer, and I should regret my death?

He also instructed Huang Xingdai to prepare a telegram to Yuan Shikai, telling him about his bullet and revolutionary career, and finally hoped that Yuan Shikai could do his best to protect civil rights, although he was still alive.

It can be seen from the telegram sent by Song Jiaoren to Yuan Shikai that when he was dying, Song Jiaoren knew that he was not assassinated by Yuan Shikai, and he did not ask for anything for himself, but hoped that Yuan Shikai would not be a dictatorial president.

The Assassin Ying Guixin was captured by the Shanghai Governor Chen Qimei, who was killed two days later, and then Chen Qimei suddenly claimed to have found a letter between Ying Guixin and Hong Shuzu, the secretary of the Minister of the Interior Zhao Bingjun, and Chen Qimei believed that Song Jiaoren was killed by Yuan Shikai.

After receiving the evidence handed over by the court of the Concession Trial, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, and Ying Dehong, the governor of Jiangsu, announced the main points of the secret telegrams and letters exchanged between the criminal Ying Guixin, Zhao Bingjun, premier and chief of internal affairs, and Hong Shuzu, secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the form of "telegrams," forcing Zhao Bingjun to send a public telegram to defend himself, and the Shanghai District Procuratorate also publicly summoned Zhao Bingjun, the incumbent premier, Zhao Bingjun.

Not to mention whether the evidence presented by Chen Qimei is true or false, but the assassination of the next cabinet premier made Yuan Shikai's government extremely passive, as we all know, Song Jiaoren opposed Yuan and went north to officially replace Yuan Shikai to lead the country, which is equivalent to the next national leader being killed, and anyone will think that it should be Yuan Shikai's poisonous hand. At this time, Chen Qimei threw out the so-called "evidence", even if it was not true, everyone thought it was true.

In the entire Song Jiaoren assassination case, Wang Yongan was suspicious, especially because he knew Chen Qimei too well, and it was strange that the Shanghai District Court controlled by Chen Qimei was able to try it correctly.

It is true that this Song Jiaoren thought that he understood politics but did not understand the national conditions, and he thought that he could copy and transfer all foreign political systems to China, but completely forgot that the overthrow of the Manchu Qing was not the credit of the National Assembly and that group of parliamentarians, but the credit of the Beiyang army, the Jiangbei army, and the Kuomintang army. Of course, if Song Jiaoren is allowed to "appoint people on the basis of merit" to carry out a cabinet reshuffle, it seems that the future country will be perfect, but it will encounter the danger of failure to implement the decree and even civil war.

Therefore, Wang Yongan believes that Song Jiaoren is a more idealistic person than Sun Yat-sen, and he has idealized that YY himself can really control the country, and Song Jiaoren wants to change not only the life of the Beiyang system, but also the life of the Jiangbei system. But even so, no one really thinks that Song Jiaoren has the ability to affect the political situation, not to mention that Yuan Shikai has a way to clean up Song Jiaoren, even Wang Yongan has a lot of tricks waiting for him. Therefore, whether it is the Beiyang system or the Jiangbei department, there is no intention to put Song Jiaoren in the eyes at all, let alone a motive to assassinate him.

After all, if arrogance is the reason for killing, then how many times has Sun Yat-sen been killed.

Fortunately, Wang Yongan proposed to send a special case team to investigate, and Yuan Shikai immediately said that before the task force reached a conclusion, no one should destroy evidence, harm assassins, or hide evidence.

However, Chen Qimei quickly issued a telegram, expressing that she did not agree with the attitude of the investigation team, and the suspect sent an investigation team to investigate the suspect, how could the real murderer be found.

The two sides exchanged several verbal battles, which made Yuan Shikai exhausted, and of course, what made him even more angry was that at this time, Tang Shaoyi handed in his official resignation and decided not to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet.

Yuan Shikai was shocked, hurriedly found Tang Shaoyi, held his hand and said excitedly: "Shaochuan, now you want to abandon me?" ”

Tang Shaoyi shook his head and sighed: "Originally, Song Jiaoren came to be the prime minister of the cabinet, why should I continue to eat in the corpse?" That's it, I'm just the prime minister, it's better to go back to Guangdong to recuperate. ”

Yuan Shikai knew that Tang Shaoyi's resignation was not because of Song Jiaoren, but because he had emptied the cabinet, but he couldn't let him go at this time, once Tang Shaoyi left, this government would be even more chaotic. But Tang Shaoyi was tired of Yuan Shikai's hypocrisy, and when he was the prime minister of the cabinet, he was restrained by Yuan Shikai everywhere, as if he was not the prime minister of the cabinet, but a prisoner in prison. If the prime minister of the cabinet who is holding his breath is not doing it, it is better to return to his hometown in Guangdong and become a county official to contribute to the local area.

Tang Shaoyi was really chilled by Yuan Shikai, no matter how Yuan Shikai advised, Tang Shaoyi insisted on being unmoved and must resign. The next day, Tang Shaoyi officially announced his resignation as prime minister and announced the dissolution of the cabinet at the National Assembly. The dissolution of the cabinet means that all the 12 ministers and deputy ministers of the cabinet are unemployed at the same time, and the next step is to face the question of reorganizing the cabinet, so who will be the new cabinet minister and how to divide the cabinet's sphere of influence has become a question in front of everyone.

Wang Yongan, who was originally going to leave Beijing, had to be delayed by the reorganization, and immediately convened all Jiangbei officials to discuss the division of the 12 cabinets, and everyone thought that they must first keep their own sphere of influence, and then try to do other, especially the forces that can take the opportunity to annex the Kuomintang, such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture and Sports in their hands.

Wang Yongan made a decision to ensure that the four ministries of industry and commerce, transportation, justice, and health went all out to strive for the two ministries of education, culture and sports.
