Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly, in fact, although Yuan Shikai was reused before he became president, he had joined the League in his early years and had supported the revolution at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Later, due to the contradictions within the revolutionary party, Tang Shaoyi resolutely chose to join Beiyang and save the country with practical actions. Therefore, although Tang Shaoyi is a Beiyang official, compared to the vast majority of Beiyang officers, he is an American-style democracy, not a warlord country.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Shaoyi did not adopt a categorical rejection attitude towards the demands put forward by the southern government in the process of negotiating with the southern government, which also led to the repeated negotiations between Beiyang and the south for nearly a year. Yuan Shikai had long suspected that Tang Shaoyi was secretly helping the southern government, but there was no evidence that he was a traitor, especially since Yuan Shikai's subordinates were the only ones under Tang Shaoyi who could talk to the southern government and was irreplaceable.

Recently, Tang Shaoyi has frequently stated that "Yuan Shikai is China's Washington", without Yuan Shikai, there would be no Republic of China, and Yuan Shikai's position is very high.

Who is Washington, that is the founding president of the United States, that is a celebrity in the world, and an idol of all the people who pursue democracy and freedom, and the praise of Yuan Shikai in domestic and foreign newspapers makes him overjoyed.

Later, Yuan Shikai reacted that although Washington was the founding father of the United States and led the American army to resist the British in the American Revolutionary War, as soon as the war ended, Washington took the initiative to hand over military power and became an out-and-out civilian president. Yuan Shikai understood that Tang Shaoyi was hinting that he should hand over his military power and not control the army, so the contradiction between Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi gradually broke out.

Yuan Shikai is well aware that the environment in Asia is different from that of the United States, and in Asia, only those who hold military power are really leaders and the supreme rulers. How could Yuan Shikai allow his power to be taken away, which led to Yuan Shikai inevitably overthrowing the prime minister. Duan Qirui, an official of the Beiyang Department, knew Yuan Shikai's mind best, and knew that Yuan Shikai would never give up military power, so he bypassed the prime minister of the cabinet and directly reported to the president to set up Tang Shaoyi.

Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian were silent for a long time after listening to Tang Shaoyi's explanation, which was a contradiction in the Beiyang system, and also showed Yuan Shikai's unwillingness to give up military power.

Wang Yongan's mind turned, why not use this crisis to force Duan Qirui away, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good way, so he smiled weirdly and said: "Actually, Premier Tang doesn't have to worry, I have a way to do this." ”

"Do you have a solution to the crisis?" Zhang Jian hurriedly asked, "Jingyun, what is the solution?" ”

Wang Yongan said: "Then it depends on Premier Tang's courage." ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "You talk about it first. ”

Wang Yongan sold the pass and said: "If Premier Tang keeps wanting to be set aside, he can not listen. ”

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "Jingyun, you're joking again, let's talk about it, don't make a joke about Shaochuan." ”

Wang Yongan said with a straight face: "It is a serious act of usurpation for the Cabinet War Department to report to the Prime Minister, so the Prime Minister can convene the first cabinet meeting tomorrow, and we will collectively vote on Duan Qirui's behavior, and remove Duan Qirui from the post of Army Chief with a minority obeying the majority, and then the Prime Minister will submit the resolution to the Congress, and then the Congress will approve it and then hand it over to the President." ”

Tang Shaoyi was taken aback and said, "What? This...... This ...... "Tomorrow is the third day of the founding of the Republic of China, and if the cabinet votes to dismiss the army chief on the third day, it will not be a smashing of his own signboard, so Tang Shaoyi hesitated. And the order of this matter is also reversed, it should be handed over to the president first, and the president will hand it over to the Congress, and the Congress will remove Duan Qirui from office. If Tang Shaoyi really did this, it would be equivalent to Yuan Shikai setting aside Tang Shaoyi once, and Tang Shaoyi also setting aside Yuan Shikai once, and the Prime Minister's Office and the Presidential Palace broke up.

Wang Yongan clamored: "Premier Tang, if Duan Qirui doesn't report to you today, Zhao Bingjun and Xiong Xiling will cross you tomorrow, in fact, this is the president testing your bottom line, if you are silent, he will bully you and let the cabinet be directly responsible to him." I know that Premier Tang does not want China to become a militaristic country and does not want a dictatorial government, so it is imperative that you impeach Duan Qirui tomorrow. ”

Tang Shaoyi was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow's first cabinet meeting, that's it." It's just to impeach Duan Qirui, just you and me, right? ”

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Jiangbei handed it over to me to persuade, the revolutionary party, you and I will visit together in the afternoon, what do you think?" ”

"Okay." Tang Shaoyi was also annoyed and angry by being bullied, so after noon, the three of them immediately visited the cabinet ministers of the Revolutionary Party, and their behavior was immediately learned by the Minister of the Interior Zhao Bingjun, Zhao Bingjun bought Cai Yuanpei's family, and learned that tomorrow's cabinet meeting would impeach Duan Qirui for illegally overstepping his rank and remove Duan Qirui from the post of army chief.

Zhao Bingjun was taken aback, and hurriedly reported to Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai realized the seriousness of the problem, Tang Shaoyi is not a person who sits idly by, but Tang Shaoyi definitely does not have the courage to do so, and the reason why Tang Shaoyi let go of the impeachment of Duan Qirui is completely supported by Wang Yongan behind his back.

"This Wang Jingyun, what does he want to do?" Yuan Shikai was furious, but if the cabinet meeting really impeached Duan Qirui tomorrow, where would he put his old face. If the Congress approves -- the Congress wants to be in turmoil in the Beiyang system, then the president of the Republic of China will be in disgrace.

"Before and after, it was all Wang Yongan, the little fox, who made the ghost." Zhao Bingjun took the opportunity to say.

Yang Du worried: "But now we want to stop the impeachment, we must stop it, once Duan Qirui is impeached tomorrow, the cabinet will definitely be dissolved." ”

Yuan Shikai became anxious in his heart, if this matter is not handled well, it will be a government crisis, and it will even lead to the rapid collapse of the first cabinet of the Republic of China government, and the cabinet can be reappointed if it falls, but Yuan Shikai, the president, has no prestige since then. Yuan Shikai also secretly regretted that he had dealt too hard to Tang Shaoyi, at least the political situation was stable, and he had the ability to mobilize someone to replace Tang Shaoyi, if Tang Shaoyi resigned as prime minister, who would dare to take over the post of prime minister of the cabinet now?

No, tomorrow's impeachment must not happen!

Yuan Shikai immediately made a decision, he immediately invited Tang Shaoyi to the Prime Minister's Office to inquire about the work on the surface, and at the same time scolded Duan Qirui and ordered him to apologize to Premier Tang Shaoyi. Duan Qirui was so angry that he had to carry the black cauldron for Yuan Shikai, and said in his heart If it weren't for your hints, how could I have overstepped the level of reporting, but today I sacrificed me to fulfill you, and I really held my breath. I have to say that Wang Yongan's move made Duan Qirui lose face and lose his prestige.
