Yanjing Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall, the peach blossoms are as gorgeous as blood, and the wisps of fragrance are sent to every corner tower by the breeze. Xu Shichang's voice came from the room.

"President Jun Jian: The Song case was sent to the State Council by Governor Cheng Du, saying that he was ordered by the President to supervise all the members in Shanghai, and to strictly interrogate and handle the matter, so as to maintain the overall situation and determine the people's hearts. Looking up to the care of the huge case, one is impartial, and there is no sense of admiration! Cheng Governor immediately proceeded to organize a special court in Shanghai and petitioned for the appointment of a director. According to Cheng Duyun: The president of this kind of organization was very much in favor of it, but the chief justice detained the law and refused to countersign. Yesterday, I received a telegram from the Ministry of Justice, and the opposition was very strong. If the husband respects the law, how can he say anything different? However, the Song case Hu Nai must be outside the ordinary court, do not seek a public judgment, and there are many unavoidable hardships in it, and it must be distinguished. It is difficult to read the judiciary of our country, and whether the court of Yanjing can break free from the barrier of the political axe and uphold justice, those who have a little common sense in the country must doubt it. According to yesterday's telegram from Governor Cheng and the governor of the province to report evidence, Premier Zhao Bingjun of the State Council was the mastermind of the assassination. Since the court is under the fence of the political axe, the appeal of this case is as far as the court can hope that it can be convicted, and the political axe has nothing to do. This is even more questionable. The Attorney-General's office is in the judiciary, and he is also free from it. However, the Chief Justice is sideways in the State Council, and its prime minister is the most important culprit in the case, so it seems unnecessary to make a fool of himself. Xingben doesn't want to speak, but now he is a humane plan and a plan for the overall situation, and he doesn't dare to rest silently. The Song case asked the president to hold his own judgment and not be bothered by the words of the people's will in line with the overall situation of the telegraph and the maintenance of electricity. It's overwhelmed and urgent. Huang xing. Forgive. ”

After Xu Shichang finished reading the telegram, Yuan Shikai was noncommittal, and asked Yang Du calmly: "Huizi, you are a constitutional expert, what should you do about me?" ”

Yang Du sneered: "Joke, joke! Huang Keqiang is also a revolutionary leader, who keeps saying that he wants to maintain the republic and constitutionalism, but he asks the president to intervene in the judiciary, he doesn't even understand the minimum principle of judicial reading, and he dares to send you a telegram? This is a contempt for constitutionalism, and the president does not have to deal with him! ”

A mocking smile appeared on Yuan Shikai's face: "It's not that he doesn't understand, he knowingly committed a crime and wants to put me on the fire to roast!" If I follow his request and cure Zhao Zhi'an's crimes, then Beiyang will inevitably deviate from Germany, who will dare to do things for me? If I don't do what he asks, then it becomes me cheating? He doesn't suffer left and right, and he is calculating! Did he treat me like a three-year-old? Call him back, Purse, you are writing a message in my own name. ”

Yang Du took a pen and white paper, carried the pen like a fly, quickly prepared the draft of the telegram, and then said: "President, I will read it to you, see if there is anything wrong, and you can point it out." ”

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "The message drafted by the Hui Zi must be good, where does my old coarse have the ability to give you guidance?" Just read it. ”

Yang Du took the blank paper and read: "Mr. Huang Keqiang: There is a telegram. According to various evidences submitted by telegrams from Governor Cheng and Chief of Civil Affairs of Ying, it seems that before March 13, it seems that the association was disbanded and that Ying and Hong conspired to blackmail and blackmail. However, after the thirteenth day, each letter should have the phrase "if you don't go to the Song Dynasty", which means that the intention is to murder. If all the witnesses are gathered, the trial will be open, and the truth will be revealed. As for Zhao Jun's direct letter, the only one on January 14 was a copy of the coded telegram, stating that there was a telegram sent directly to the State Council, and there was absolutely no suspicion. If you want to rely on the correspondence and telegrams exchanged letters and telegrams to accuse the main culprit of the assassination, it is really unreasonable. In the past year, all those who have plotted two or three revolutionaries have all pretended to be great men, and if they are used as a medium to blame the trouble, everyone will be in danger. A and B conspire with D, A and B instruct C, but C does not know it, and judges his crimes, how can he be just? Ask the Legalists to study the evidence in detail. Gongben is a good person, and he should be able to perceive. Chief Xu repeatedly refused to countersign, and if he listened to his resignation, I am afraid that all judges will be in turmoil. The principle of judicial reading in a constitutional state is not too depressing. has been called by Cheng Du, and he will be able to uphold justice with his euphemism and business. The caller said that the chief was in charge, and his bones were quite deserved. For the sake of politics, our generation does not hesitate to compromise and seek perfection, and is allowed to plan for the protection of the law and Jin, of course, but there is no bias. The public is a humane plan and a plan for the overall situation, and it will certainly be able to balance the law and the facts. The state affairs are difficult, the people's hearts are sinister, and the shift in the atmosphere is what we hope for. Yuan Shikai. Investigate. Stamp.

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "Okay, every word!" Bites to death the principle of judicial reading, this pen and ink lawsuit, Huang Keqiang can't win us! Without trial, he bit Zhao Bingjun to death as the murderer, Huang Keqiang was too misguided??? Send both him and my telegrams to the newspaper office, so that the people of the world can see who is destroying the Republic of China and the legal system! Trying to splash dirty water on me, the door doesn't come out! Inform Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, that this case will be tried how it should be tried, and all newspaper interviews will be allowed, and the more upright we are, the more beneficial it will be to us. ”

Xu Shichang laughed twice, and then asked, "Weiting, did Zhao Zhi'an do this?" ”

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "I didn't ask him, I can't ask about this, even if he did it, he won't admit it." However, in addition to Zhao Bingjun, I also suspect one person. ”

"Who?"

"Chen Yingshi!"

Xu Shichang asked, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Yuan Shikai smiled: "What more evidence?" It's enough for the people of the world to believe! Chen Yingshi's assassination of Tao Chengzhang is known to the world, but the court did not get real evidence, so he escaped! He also assassinated Li Xiehe, shot without trial Tao Junbao, chief of staff of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Army, who had made meritorious contributions to the capture of Nanjing, and prepared to assassinate Lin Shuqing, the governor of the Zhenjiang Army and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Linhuai??? This guy has all kinds of poisons, and there are precedents for assassinating his accomplices many times, so let him bear the charge for the assassination of Song Jiaoren this time! ”

Yang Du was puzzled: "Without real evidence, how can Chen Yingshi's crime be treated?" ”

Yuan Shikai almost laughed: "Huizi, Huizi, you are really a scholar!" When did I say I was going to cure Chen Yingshi's sins? I mean, as long as the world believes that he did it, that's enough! Think about it, Ying Guixin is from the Kuomintang, and Hong Shuzu is from ours, so it's a draw, right? Whether the court wants to treat Zhao Bingjun's crime or Chen Yingshi's crime, there is no real evidence, and this is still a draw! But Zhao Bingjun once followed Zuo Zongtang to recover Xinjiang Province and created China's policing career, what did Chen Yingshi do? If it weren't for Li Xiehe to save him, he would have become a dry bone in the grave, but how did he deal with this life-saving benefactor? robbed Li Xiehe's Shanghai military governor, and assassinated him! Zhao Bingjun was injured on the way to the west and has never been close to women, while Chen Yingshi is proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, sampling, and sampling??? Everyone, will the people of the world believe in Zhao Bingjun, who has no criminal record and no loss of personal morality, or believe in Chen Yingshi, who has a bad record and is full of poisons? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! What's the use of getting rid of a Chen Yingshi? Let everyone in the world know that the Kuomintang is a place to hide filth and dirt, that's enough, Comfort Pavilion, I really obeyed you! Xu Shichang said with heartfelt admiration.

Yuan Shikai touched his bald head that didn't leave his hands, and smiled extremely proudly.

Yang Du interjected: "Zhao Zhi'an has resigned, you have to consider the candidate for prime minister!" ”

Yuan Shikai blurted out: "Zhi'an is on the cusp, it's better to avoid the limelight, let Tang Shaoyi do it." ”

Yang Du shook his head and said: "No, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty killed Chao Cuo back then, but Liu Bi, the king of Wu, still reversed." ”

Yuan Shikai's expression suddenly became nervous, and he thought again and again: "Then let Duan Qirui be the prime minister, then King Wu won't rebel again, right?" ”

The matter of compiling and training the model regiment is urgent, and Yuan Shikai has an indescribable greasy taste in his heart for these Beiyang veterans!

??? Dividing line ???

Sun Yat-sen, the residence of Huang Xing in the Shanghai Public Concession, was lying on the ground, biting red and blue pencils in his mouth, and Huang Xing, Chen Yingshi, Wang Jingwei and more than a dozen assistants were also busy.

Sun Yat-sen looked at the map for a while, and shouted excitedly: "Keqiang, come and see, our Kuomintang controls more than ten provinces, and is fully capable of defeating Yuan Shikai." ”

Huang Xing said with a bitter face: "Where are there more than ten provinces? Did you get drenched in the rain on the way back from Yuben? What about fever now? ”

Sun Yat-sen was not angry, dragged him to the ground, and then pointed to the map and said: "Keqiang, you see, Tan Yanmin in Hunan, Hu Hanmin in Guangdong, Cheng Dequan in Jiangsu, Zhu Rui in Zhejiang, Sun Daoren in Fujian, and Lu Rongting in Guangxi ???"

Huang Xing smiled bitterly: "Even if they all send troops, it will only be six provinces, where are there more than ten provinces?" ”

Sun Yat-sen patted the map and said, "Why did you forget Chai Dongliang?" He has the military power of Anhui, Jiangxi, Feng, and Mongolia provinces! When the time comes, our ten provinces will attack at the same time, and the north and south will advance directly to Yanjing, Yuan Shikai can be captured in one battle, and the revolution will be completely successful! ”

Huang Xing looked at Sun Wen for a long time with an extremely strange look, and then shook his head helplessly: "How can Mr. count him in?" ”

Sun Yat-sen patted Huang Xing's shoulder and said: "He is the vice chairman of the Kuomintang like you, now is the time when the country is in danger, Yuan Shikai wantonly destroyed the republic and now he is blatantly assassinating Song Dunchu, Chai Dongliang, as the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, how can he sit idly by?" Keqiang, you should not doubt the loyalty of your comrades in the party. ”

Huang Xing shook his head and said: "Sir, you are so naïve, you called him personally, he didn't even say a happy word, you still think he will send troops against Yuan?" Besides, is it time to oppose Yuan? He has just been dead for five days, and the Shanghai Police Department has arrested the suspect, we should wait for the results of the trial, and I don't agree with the army at this time! ”

Sun Yat-sen suddenly roared: "Keqiang, do you still believe in Yuan Shikai at this time? After speaking, he dragged Huang Xing and pointed to Song Jiaoren's portrait and said: "Zhao Bingjun, the director of the Kuomintang, actually assassinated the acting chairman of the Kuomintang, who dares to say that this is not Yuan Shikai's instructions?" Keqiang, wake up, the republic is dead, and the constitution is dead! Now there is only fighting, we have to overthrow Yuan Shikai like we overthrew the Manchus! ”

Huang Xing was unconvinced and said: "Now that the Republic of China has just been established for more than a year, the people are determined, and in this election, the Kuomintang has a very good chance of winning. Song Dunchu will also die blindly! ”

Sun Yat-sen jumped like a lion enraged: "If you don't do it now, when will you wait?" Wait until Yuan Shikai kills us all? Song Dunchu ended up like this because of his superstitious parliamentary politics, do you want us all to become Song Dunchu? Fighting, only by fighting and bloodshed, can we save China, we can save ourselves! ”

Huang Xing and others have long been accustomed to Sun Yat-sen's temper, and he comforted him bitterly: "Sir, even if you want to raise troops, it depends on the timing, we are far from being Yuan Shikai's opponent now." ”

Sun Yat-sen said angrily: "Now there are eleven provincial governors who are all members of our Kuomintang, and a few of us dared to resist the Manchus with a few guns back then, why is it not strong enough now?" I think it's your revolutionary will that is declining! You don't dare to go, I'll do it alone, as long as I give me two divisions of troops, I will meet Yuan Shikai! ”

Huang Xing was speechless for a moment, he had personally fought Feng Guozhang in Wuchang, and the Beiyang Army was well-equipped and well-trained. The two divisions were sent up, but it was not enough for Yuan Shikai to plug his teeth!

"Sir, Tan Yanmin and Hu Hanmin called back, they said that they don't have the strength to read, please don't be rash!"

"Sir, Zhu Rui and Cheng Dequan called back, they said that it is not appropriate to use force now, and they should believe in the justice of the law!"

"Sir, Sun Daoren and Lu Rongting called back, and they said that the army and military pay were insufficient, and they couldn't instigate reading power!"

When Sun Yat-sen heard the bad news one after another, his original self-confidence turned into a sky-high rage: "Well, the members of the Kuomintang did not listen to the orders of me, the chairman of the board, the Kuomintang has rotten, it is no longer a revolutionary party, a fighting party, and has become a club of bureaucrats and politicians!" ”

The people present looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Sun Yat-sen's temper is well known to everyone, and it is certainly not a wise move to reason with him at this time.

"Sir, Chai Dongliang called back???" Wang Jingwei ran over with a telegram that had not yet dried in ink.

Sun Yat-sen raised a glimmer of hope: "What did he say? ”

Wang Jingwei said heavily: "He, he, he said ???"

Sun Yat-sen said eagerly: "Just say it quickly, don't be vague." ”

Wang Jingwei said with a bitter face: "Chai Dongliang called back and said that the election of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Republic of China is about to be announced, and the official political axe will be established soon. And he ???"

"What's he?"

"He's going to raise an army to put down the rebellion!"

Sun Yat-sen froze, his lips kept trembling, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed wildly: "Did you all hear it?" Do you hear that? The vice chairman of the Kuomintang actually threatened me, the chairman of the board! He actually threatened me with force???? This party is completely rotten, this party is not the party I want, this kind of club of politicians and warlords, I am not uncommon! ”

Chen Yingshi, who had been sitting in the corner of the room, suddenly said gloomily: "This Chai Dongliang doesn't know the depth too much!" Sir don't bother with him, just leave him to me! ”
