Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Price of Maturity

Public Concession Six Nations Hotel

The Liuguo Hotel in Shanghai has nothing to do with the famous Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, Yanjing City, just as the Yuelai Inn in China has no affiliation with each other. But the two buildings are exactly the same, as if they were twins.

Fortunately, there is no intellectual property protection in China this year, otherwise just copying someone else's style and name would have punished the Jewish owner of the Six Nations Hotel in Shanghai.

The entire third floor was covered by Chai Dongliang, and the Six Nations Hotel was also heavily guarded inside and outside, Lu Kai led a group of guards with ten pistols pinned to their waists, staring at every guest who walked up the stairs, and his cold eyes made these people furious.

This is a large room, dark red teak floor, white stairs, plaster ceiling hooked guava shape with obvious Mediterranean style, the furnishings in the room are basically Western-style, but there is a statue of Zhao Gongming on the table and the atmosphere here seems incompatible. It is estimated that the Jewish boss deliberately took care of the habits of the Chinese, but engaged in some nondescript.

"The big picture? What is the big picture? Constitutionalism and the rule of law, this is the overall situation of the sky! Dare to ask Mr. Gao, why did the first gunshot in Wuchang City take place, and in just two months, more than ten provinces are no longer owned by the imperial court? Gu Weijun patted the table and asked.

Gao Ming pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Mr. Gu is going to be a student for the school examination?" The Manchu Tartars ruled over 40,000 Han people with millions of bannermen, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow and exploiting the fierce, making the people miserable and mourning all over the wilderness, and they would not die? ”

Gu Weijun sneered: "The Qing Dynasty has been established for two hundred and sixty years, and it is not the first day to exploit the Han people. At that time, why didn't the provinces make trouble with reading? ”

Gao Ming snorted: "Hong Yang uses heresies to deceive people's hearts, and the revolutionary party is fighting for the freedom of the people of the world and fighting for the hundreds of millions of Han people, how can they say the same thing?" ”

"What Mr. said is good, but may I ask Sir, the revolutionary party has been in trouble in various places, why is it that only this time can it advocate chaos and the world will follow?" Gu Weijun stared at Gao Ming's eyes, aggressive.

Gao Ming was speechless for a while.

Chai Dongliang watched the two bickering with interest, Gao Ming and Gu Weijun, in order to deal with Tao Chengzhang's case, one said that the murderer would be secretly eliminated, and the matter should be kept secret, so as not to think that the revolutionary party has not yet won the world and infighting, and the other asked for a public trial, and stated public opinion, and dealt with it in accordance with the law.

Gao Ming was born in Shaoxing, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and a big pen like a knife. Gu Weijun is a doctor of Yang from Columbia University, specializing in international law and diplomacy, and has quick thinking and iron teeth!

It's really interesting for these two people to fight, to see if it's a local specialty that is powerful, or whether it's more ferocious when it is exported to domestic sales!

Obviously, now that the winner has been divided, Gao Ming, a turtle, was exhausted by Gu Weijun, a turtle.

Chai Dongliang handed Gu Weijun and Gao Ming a cigarette: "Brother Shaochuan, I also have this doubt, can my brother solve my doubts?" ”

After that, there was a copper sound of "Bang", the zippo lighter was playing, and Chai Dongliang personally lit a cigarette for the two.

Gu Weijun was a little flattered, and hurriedly got up and said, "The governor can't do it!" Gu is young and knowledgeable, how dare he be so courteous to the governor? Then he arched his hand towards Gao Ming and said: "Old Master Gao is a revolutionary predecessor, who has been running for more than ten years to save the country, boy Meng Lang, please forgive me!" ”

Chai Dongliang patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: "Brother Shaochuan doesn't need to be polite, my brother has admired you for a long time, and he still wants to teach you!" ”

Gu Weijun didn't dare to say anything, he also thought that what Chai Dongliang had admired for a long time was a common politeness in officialdom, where did he know that Chai Dongliang had really admired him for many years!

"The governor asked me why the Wuchang uprising was able to respond to the whole world, in the final analysis, it was the Manchu Qing who made their own mistakes! In all fairness, since the Gengzi Revolution, the Manchu Dynasty and the opposition have thought that the old law cannot save the country and that the new policy must be implemented! Ten years after the implementation of the New Deal, the new government has set up a large number of industries, trained the new army, implemented Western laws, and has not been allowed to report public opinion supervision. Although the people have not benefited much, they are better off than ten years ago!

Ten years ago, apart from the imperial history and Qingliu, which Pingtou people dared to evaluate the Manchurian nobles? But last year, the members of the Yanjing Senior Council actually summoned the regent Zaifeng, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face! With Zaifeng's power and status, he can only swallow his anger... In the past ten years, it can be said that the land of China has undergone earth-shaking changes, but why are the people still confused? Gu Weijun spoke at length and eloquently.

Chai Dongliang listened to it freshly, there were some things he didn't understand, he didn't expect that in the last ten years of the Qing Dynasty, the political atmosphere would be so relaxed, and the Senior Administration Yuan could actually reprimand the regent? Such a thing has not happened in a hundred years since the Xinhai Revolution!

In the past 100 years, has China been progressing or regressing? The more Chai Dongliang learned, the more confused he felt.

These questions are not something that can be figured out for a while, Chai Dongliang asked politely: "Mr. continue, I'll listen to you!" ”

Gu Weijun continued: "The biggest mistake of the Qing Dynasty is to lose its trust to the people! The way to control the people is either to fool the people to the end and not think about the people at all, or to open the wisdom of the people, the monarch sits down and delegates power to the people! The Qing Dynasty inspected the constitutionalism of Western countries, and it was in an uproar! It is said that the victory over the Qing Dynasty and then the victory over Russia in the first day of the First Day of the First Dynasty is that everyone in the world thinks that it is the miracle effect of the constitution! When the five ministers went abroad to investigate, everyone in the world rejoiced, thinking that China could be rich and strong, and the revolutionary party's assassination of the five ministers seemed to be brave and military, but in fact it was a manifestation of discouragement about the future of the revolution! After the five ministers returned to China, they told the press that the reason why the West was strong and prosperous was due to the constitution, and the people of the country deeply thought that it was true, and everyone from His Excellency the Cardinal to the people of Shengdou talked about the benefits of the constitution! The provincial bureaus were even more enthusiastic about the constitution, but the Qing Dynasty whetted the appetite of the people, but they were reluctant to implement it, not to mention what fifteen years of preparation for the constitution, and finally made a royal cabinet that was not a donkey or a horse... The people of the world are extremely disappointed, and in the end, the new army that the Qing Dynasty spent countless people to get into the ointment of the people, turned out to be the vanguard of the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I don't know how Zaifeng would feel if he remembered Zhang Xiangshuai's dying words at this moment? ”

Gu Weijun spoke at length, and Chai Dongliang seemed to have a clue, but his thoughts could not be completely sorted out.

Gao Ming was a little impatient: "Mr. said so much, what does it have to do with Huangong's case?" ”

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Old master, sit down, please listen to me!" Ten years of the New Deal, the people's wisdom has just begun! Enlightened people believe that only by combining constitutionalism and the rule of law can we truly enrich the country and strengthen the army! Upholding the dignity of the rule of law is a wise move for the most virtuous people! If the governor can try this case publicly, whether the murderer can be traced or not, whether he can seek justice for Tao Huanqing, the governor is the winner! ”

Gao Ming's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" As Shaochuan said, if this case is tried openly in accordance with legal procedures, the Governor's reputation for upholding the dignity of the rule of law will spread! Constitutionalism and the rule of law, these two things are what the people of the world value most! ”

Chai Dongliang was silent, if he was tried in the law, it was very likely that he would let go of the real criminal because of insufficient evidence, and he would not be able to seek justice for Tao Chengzhang, and there was also a possibility that if the case involved Sun Wen during the public trial, it would be even more tricky.

To maintain the ties of the southern provinces, only Sun Wen's personal charm is the same, and once his reputation is damaged, it is likely to fall apart, and the consequences are unimaginable!

However, catching a suspect and then going to trial can bring Chai Dongliang great personal prestige, and in this era when people are eager to see through constitutionalism and the rule of law, the prestige brought by upholding the rule of law is an extremely powerful weapon!

Chai Dongliang was at war in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while!

Gu Weijun saw that Chai Dongliang was a little hesitant, and sneered: "It turns out that the governor is not sincere in upholding the rule of law, but it is a pity that the huge China is all a man with a small eye for a mouse!" ”

Chai Dongliang was provoked by him, and said in a case: "Shaochuan doesn't need to provoke me, I have already made up my mind, and I must uphold the dignity of the rule of law in this life!" It's just that I don't know much about the law, and I don't know a lot of procedures, so I don't dare to say anything! ”

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "As long as the governor has this thought, Gu is willing to serve specific things." ”

Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "With Shaochuan to help me, my Anhui Revolutionary Army is really like a tiger!" ”

The three of them laughed in the house, Fang Qingyu wore a white coat and walked in from outside, and said in Chai Dongliang's ear: "Governor, Boss Yu has brought someone here." ”

Chai Dong nodded and said, "Take Boss Yu to have tea in the small living room, please wait for a while, and I will be there immediately." ”

Gu Weijun saw that Fang Qingyu was dressed as a doctor, but the handle of the gun was exposed under his clothes, and he was stunned.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Brother Shaochuan, please take a break, Chai still has some things to arrange, and later my brother arranged a little thin wine to suppress Brother Shaochuan!" Brother Taiwan is talented, and it will definitely not be buried, and the marriage between Brother Shaochuan and Miss Tang is wrapped up in the brother! ”

Gu Weijun remembered that he was going to throw himself into the river yesterday, and then cried in front of a group of people and grabbed the ground, and he was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, and said with a red face: "The governor still has important matters, so I'll retreat first!" "Anyway, like a dog's ass, turn around and run.

Chai Dongliang nodded at Fang Qingyu and said, "You go, things have to be done cleanly." ”

Fang Qingyu nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Governor, please rest assured, there will be no mistakes!" ”

Chai Dongliang is paying more and more attention to Qingyu, he is still bold, but he is as careful as a hair, calm and low-key, and not as unscrupulous as before.

In the past two months, Fang Qingyu, Lu Kai and others have changed a lot and matured a lot, but hasn't Chai Dongliang himself changed a lot?

The process of maturation also means losing a lot of precious things, which is an indispensable price!
