After a 10-day delay, the parliament finally began to proceed under the strong criticism of the "opposition" legislators across the country and the persecution and urging of celebrities from all over the country who rushed to Beijing day and night.

Because the rich princes were deprived of everything, the rich bannermen fled one after another. The poor banner people did not dare to show their heads. Coupled with the political turmoil, the teahouses and entertainment industry in the capital are in shambles. In these chaotic days, the famous Peking Opera actors in the capital can only rest at home. From the beginning of November 1909, the business of these famous actors suddenly boomed. Celebrities from all over the world flocked to the capital in waves. Their aim was to get close to the Constituent Assembly, which would determine China's future destiny.

The House of Representatives is now under complete lockdown and is on high alert. There are also many military and police officers outside the residences of the provincial legislators, and as long as the legislators do not personally speak, not even a sparrow can fly in. However, Deputy Prime Minister Yuan Shikai is transparent enough to announce the agenda and voting results of the day every afternoon after the House of Representatives adjournes. Yuan Shikai was very smart, he did not talk about the Manchu Qing at all, only about the future political development plan. Each piece of content has a major impact on the provinces, and everyone can't help but pay attention to it.

When these celebrities from all over the world arrived in Beijing, they could not stay in their residences or squat outside the House of Representatives. Many people have heard of his name but have not seen him, so the entertainment venues, teahouses, restaurants, and theaters everywhere are lively again. Because Yuan Shikai issued a martial law order within the Beiyang Army, the officers and soldiers were not allowed to leave the barracks without an order, and the bannermen were all wiped out, and the Bada Hutong had been depressed for a long time.

There are the most people in the teahouse, and the teahouse owner is quite adaptable. There are many guild halls and officials in Beijing. South-to-north tones are already common. And in addition to talking better and talking more intelligently, these newcomers are no different from the Eight Banners regulars in the ordinary teahouse. And these masters have more money on hand, far more than those poor ghosts in the Eight Banners.

However, Wang Lifa, the owner of Yutai Teahouse on Qianmen Street, saw a scene that he had never seen before. A group of people came up on the street, led by a short-haired young man wearing a silver-white satin "student uniform". This dress resembles a Japanese student uniform, and it is becoming more and more common as more and more international students return to Japan. However, this kind of silver-white satin student costume is really rare, and what is even rarer is that this one's clothes actually show off a few five-clawed golden dragons. Wang Lifa is a young shopkeeper who knows how to observe, and this kind of golden dragon is only dared to be used by the royal family. There may be dragon embroidery on the prince's clothes, but this kind of golden dragon body clothes, what kind of identity does it have to be to dare to wear it.

And this young man has short hair, and he is obviously not a royal person. I saw that he was tall and beautiful. shouted slogans in Cantonese Mandarin. Wang Lifa is only in his twenties, and he still doesn't understand well. However, several other youths who followed this young man held a banner with the words "The League will resolutely demand the fall of the Manchus!" Although the number was small, the young people looked energetic, shouting slogans and handing out leaflets everywhere. It was quite lively for a while.

Wang Lifa finally judged that these young people were the legendary "revolutionary party". He had always known that there was a revolutionary party, and he had seen notices posted by the revolutionary party, but this was the first time he had seen a living revolutionary party. Three steps and two steps to the door, Wang Lifa wanted to hear what the young man had to say. The young man's official words were not particularly bad, Wang Lifa probably heard a few words clearly, "Below is Wang Jingwei, a member of the League, and the current situation is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not dead, and China is not prosperous. During this Constituent Assembly, our League will call on parliamentarians and celebrities from all over the world to jointly overthrow the Manchus for China! ”

Whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty is dead or not, whether China is prosperous or not, the young boss Wang Lifa is not clear. However, seeing the living revolutionary party with his own eyes surprised Boss Wang Lifa. In fact, Wang Jingwei's clothes are very similar to the outfits of bad boys in Japanese hot-blooded violent anime, and Chen Ke is afraid that he will laugh out loud when he sees it. But in this era, it is really attractive and eye-catching. Plus banners raised high, leaflets distributed everywhere. There are also idlers who are tailgating, and outsiders from all over the world who have turned their heads to watch, which is really interesting.

I was looking, but I saw a rickshaw parked at the door. The coachman is a tall man in his thirties, and the boss of Wang Lifa has a fixed eye, but he is a regular customer of Yutai Teahouse. Chang Siye is a man, but he is an alternative among the manchurians. He doesn't smoke big cigarettes or walk birds. On weekdays, I help people drive cars in the capital, and my life is quite frugal, and I made a small profit when honeycomb coal rose in the capital a few years ago. As soon as the banner people dispersed, many banner people lost their livelihood. Chang Siye used his savings over the years to buy a new rickshaw at a low price from a certain prince's mansion. Now he makes a living pulling foreign cars.

Chang Siye is quite heroic and has a wide range of people. Even when the capital was relatively depressed, there was no shortage of customers, and now that people from all over the world have come to the capital, he is even more busy with his feet on the ground. After sending the guests into the teahouse, Chang Siye shouted to Wang Lifa, "Boss Wang, bring me a bowl of rotten meat noodles." ”

Someone next to him saw that the car was empty, so he asked Chang Siye to take him to Gui Street. Chang Siye smiled: "This master, it's not that I don't pull you. I've been running all day, and I'm hungry now. I'm just pulling you, and I can't run, but I'm delaying you. This man, you should take someone else's car. ”

The patron listened to the accent of a Jiangsu person, and seeing that Chang Siye was so refreshing, he was interested in Chang Siye. He followed Chang Siye into the teahouse again, and then asked, "When will you be able to finish eating?" ”

Chang Siye did not deceive the customers who came to the door, he smiled heartily: "This rotten meat is fast, but I have to rest after eating." This master, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave for half an hour. ”

"Rotten meat noodles?" This customer had never heard of the name. While he was talking, a large bowl of rotten meat noodles had been brought by the guy. This is a big bowl of thick noodles topped with braised meat and vegetables. At this time, it is noon, the meat marinade has long been prepared, and the noodles are fast. It's good in the blink of an eye. This smells good.

The customer immediately became appetizing, and he said to the man, "Bring me a bowl too." ”

Although Wang Lifa was very interested in the revolutionary party that had just passed, he would never throw away his business and run to see the excitement. He couldn't see the back of the revolutionary party anymore, so he turned back into the house and said to the old master Chang Siye: "Chang Siye, even the revolutionary party has been so swaggering on the street these days. But no one cared. ”

Chang Siye sighed, "This Qing Dynasty, ......" Speaking of this, he snorted and ate a few bites of noodles, and shouted to the guy, "Man, give me another half of the cake." Bring me the wine I have here. ”

After speaking, Chang Siye continued to snort and eat noodles.

"Fourth Master Chang, what do you say happened to the Qing Dynasty?" Although Wang Lifa was timid, no one cared about the revolutionary party in the capital in broad daylight, so he couldn't help asking.

"It seems that the Qing Dynasty can't stand it. How many of the bannermen in the capital have fled now? Those who have money go to Tianjin. I can't eat without money. In the past few days, those who came to my house to borrow some rice and noodles almost knocked down my door. It's all a flag, and I can't help but give it. These days, the cars are all pulled for them. After Chang Siye finished speaking depressedly, he picked up the wine bottle sent by the guy, pulled out the stopper and took a sip, then picked up half of the flatbread and lowered his head to nibble on it.

Wang Lifa didn't know what to say, he had seen a lot of tragic conditions of the banner people. It turned out that many people were eating with the various palaces, and some simply ate the endless leftovers thrown out of the imperial city. Now that all sources are cut off, they don't know how to do it, and they don't want to do it. It's not one or two who sell their sons and daughters.

Seeing that the regular customer Chang Siye was immersed in eating, and so many old customers who could go there had disappeared, Wang Lifa couldn't help but say, "Is this Beijing without flag people still Beijing?" ”

The guest with a Jiangsu accent had been eating noodles quietly, and when he heard this, he stopped his chopsticks and looked up and said, "In the first few hundred years after the construction of Beijing City, where was there a flag man here?" Without the flag man, this Beijing is still Beijing. ”

The sound was not small, and many people in the room could hear it clearly, and several people had already turned their heads to look at it. Wang Lifa was already timid, and he also pretended to be bold when talking about state affairs this time. Seeing that this guest was so excited, he hurriedly said, "This master, what I said is not right. You eat slowly, slowly. After speaking, Wang Lifa returned to the back of the counter to settle the accounts.

Wang Jingwei didn't know that such a story had happened in the big teahouse he had just passed. On the one hand, he frankly reported his home, and on the other hand, he shouted various anti-Qing slogans. When he arrived at the street corner in front of him, Wang Jingwei saw that there were many onlookers, so he simply climbed a nearby step and began to give a speech. “…… At this time, the whole country is looking forward to a republic, and how can a clown open his eyes for a corrupt king! ……”

This is Sun Yat-sen's manuscript, Wang Jingwei himself is also a talent, and he is impassioned with a little subtraction. The gist of the manuscript was to overthrow the Manchu Qing and create a republic. This is the consistent position of the League, or Sun Yat-sen. He can be called a pioneer of the revolution because he is firm enough. Sun Yat-sen has always had a characteristic, that is, it is important to squeeze into the center of the spotlight. This has been the case with every revolution. Even if he was framed as a puppet and a clown, he never refused. If a person has a firm attitude and frequently appears at the center of contradictions in the late Qing Dynasty, a great era in which you sing and I appear, he himself has become a banner and a symbol.

Chen Ke's resistance to Sun Yat-sen was not all because of Sun Yat-sen's bad personal morality, or because of Sun Yat-sen's betrayal of China's sovereignty in order to gain support. Sun Yat-sen, a strong-willed person, really made Chen Ke a little unable to deal with it. Chen Ke had no choice but to refuse contact with Sun Yat-sen altogether. The internal affairs of the People's Party are piled up, and Chen Ke really has no time or energy to deal with these nasty external things.

But for Sun Yat-sen, the current Constituent Assembly was a key event in determining China's fate. In this era, more than 90% of the "revolutionary parties" pursued constitutionalism. At the earliest conference of the League, there were seventy or eighty people in a room, and Sun Yat-sen knew only a dozen of them. Among these seventy or eighty people, the vast majority of them are those who pursue constitutionalism. Only seven or eight vowed to overthrow the Manchus. This is still a relatively radical "revolutionary party".

In the days that followed, the People's Party, which had fought with the Manchus, firmly rejected Sun Yat-sen's invitation. The Liberation Society, which had sworn to fight the Manchus forever, also broke away from the League. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren also left the League with the members of the Huaxing Society under the stimulus of many things.

In 1908, Sun Yat-sen had to take great risks and personally organized an uprising in Zhennanguan. After the failure of the uprising, Sun Yat-sen went to Nanyang to raise funds and prepare for a comeback. In the second half of the year, the situation in China changed abruptly, and Cixi and Guangxu died one after another. The People's Party and Yuan Shikai were ready to fight to the death. Then came the chaos in Hebei, and the Manchus were crumbling.

In 1909, the People's Party went south, and Yuan Shikai returned to the north. Then Yuan Shikai announced that he was preparing to establish a constitution. The whole situation has become a kaleidoscope. Almost all the revolutionaries showed their true colors as "constitutionalists", and what they wanted was for the Manchus to delegate power and govern the localities. When this result is within reach, the League will completely disintegrate itself. Only a handful of radicals are left who genuinely demand a republic. In total, less than 200 people. Many are also members of local outlying organizations.

Sun Yat-sen rushed back to Japan again. The Japanese government was as polite as ever to Sun Yat-sen. Politeness is politeness, and it is not valued at all. In desperation, Sun Yat-sen had no choice but to order Wang Jingwei, a staunch believer, to lead the radical faction of the Pingjin League to express to the Constituent Assembly the League's firm attitude of "overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a republic".

Wang Jingwei is fully aware of the current situation of the League, in fact, the League can still organize its actions, only these young people in the Pingjin area who have not launched an uprising. At this time, there were no banner people in the capital, and the significance of assassinating the high-ranking officials of the flag men was very limited. As for the assassination of provincial councillors, it looks like it worked well. But can death be used to force these people to submit after the assassination? Opinions within the Pingjin League are very different.

The assassins believe that "deterrence is small, so that they know that it is not okay not to be republican." ”

The moderates believe that "the representatives of parliament are the representatives of the people, and although they can be punished, they cannot be killed by us!" We need to expose its true colors and have the people of the provinces kill them. ”

Young people are not convinced by anyone, and the quarrel is getting more and more intense. In the end, Wang Jingwei slapped the table violently, "Everyone is unwilling to assassinate, and everyone is willing to go to prison!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Wang Ching-wei immediately proposed that the League would openly go out on the streets and make public its political views. If Beiyang arrests everyone, it means that Beiyang is "a true royalist and a fake constitution".

This suggestion was immediately agreed to by the congregation of the League. In order to be able to express the opposition to the Manchus to the greatest extent, it is natural how to be conspicuous. The 40 young comrades of the League who were not afraid to go to prison were divided into eight groups of five people each. I got eight dragon satin suits, eight banners, and a lot of flyers. Everyone agreed that as long as the former group was arrested, the latter group would make up the next day, and if everyone was all arrested. The comrades of the other assassination teams can just let it go.

With the determination to "be willing to be a prisoner of Chu", Wang Jingwei took the comrades of the first group to the streets and began to march. Everyone shouted slogans, handed out slogans, and although there were some sneaky people who watched the small procession, but in general no one really stopped it. The police are only maintaining law and order, and since this small group has no intention of obstructing traffic, the police do not care. This made Wang Jingwei and other young comrades happy, and increased their courage a hundredfold.

On the day of the public march of the League, the agenda for the Constituent Assembly had come to an end. Originally, the three observers of the People's Party were the objects of avoidance of the House of Representatives, but as the long meeting saw the end, the eyes of the public became more and more focused on the three people.

In the eyes of the provincial legislators, it may be Beiyang Yuan Shikai who personally reduced the power of the Manchu Qing to the point of existence, but the root cause of the real provocation of this great change and the chaos in the world is the People's Party. If it were Chen Ke, he would have a different opinion. The People's Party only found its way in the tide of great change at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was this group of deputies who really persevered in weakening the Manchu rule.

Regardless of this gap in understanding, the armed forces in the hands of the BJP are real. Since conquering the entire territory of Jiangxi, the southern provinces that had been critical of the People's Party have lost their voices. Beiyang naturally wanted to use Chen Ke to threaten the southern provinces. The southern provinces border the People's Party, and they absolutely refuse to ask for hardship. In particular, the deputies from Guangdong, Fujian, and Hunan kept silent about the People's Party. The reason for the People's Party's conquest of Jiangxi was that "Wu Xun, the governor of Jiangxi, was a hardcore royalist." In fact, Wu Xun could not talk about protecting the emperor at all, let alone publicly making remarks about royalism or anti-constitutionalism.

Yan Fu and Feng Xu are both celebrities, and they habitually remain silent on such occasions. Shang Yuan, a young nameless person, was able to keep silent except for occasional laughter. Provincial legislators privately met with the BJP, and these legislators did not dare to do so. Not in private, that's only public. Originally, the parliamentarians thought that Yuan Shikai would take the initiative to inquire, but Yuan Shikai also turned a blind eye to the representatives of the People's Party, and the parliamentarians in the southern provinces naturally became more and more uneasy.

The meeting was adjourned at noon, and everyone ate. In order to avoid trouble, the council's food is a large collective canteen. Yuan Shikai accepted Chen Ke's suggestion, and there were a slippery temporary kitchen in the large courtyard, each with a different cook. What kind of food everyone wants to eat, they pay for it, and Yuan Shikai pays half of it out of his own pocket.

The aroma of various dishes fills the air, and the sound of the woks colliding with the woks fills the courtyard of the cafeteria with a pleasant atmosphere of life. As members of parliament, they can send menus and meals to the delegates' meeting rooms. It was only at this time that many members of parliament who were waiting outside sent the latest news in. Parliamentarians have begun to get used to this method, and the process of choosing dishes is also a good opportunity for the provinces to connect with each other. As usual, the news came in quickly. The person who received the news first unfolded the paper in his hand, and his face immediately changed.

This is a proclamation just issued by the People's Party, "The People's Party participated in the Constituent Assembly because it was supposed to be a political consultative conference that overthrew the Qing court and created a republic, but it turned out that the Constituent Assembly was full of people from the Qing Dynasty." The BJP could not accept this, and declared that it would withdraw from the meeting and continue its efforts in armed struggle. ”

It was not a person who received this news, and many people were stunned.

"It's my day!" I don't know who scolded first, and the other representatives hurriedly came over to see the news. First there was whispering, then there was buzzing, then there was excitement. Originally, the representatives of the People's Party were silent, and everyone still felt that the representatives of the People's Party understood the rules and did not cause trouble to everyone. It was not until they saw the blatant military threat of the BJP that they blamed the BJP representatives for refusing to speak. The delegates had completely forgotten that the BJP was only an observer, and that the observer was not qualified to participate in parliamentary discussions at all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have to let the BJP representatives explain this. What exactly do they mean? Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Yes, let them make it clear." Immediately, someone followed. Mass sentiment is the easiest to provoke concerted action, and immediately younger parliamentarians rushed to the meeting room of the BJP delegation.

In order to protect the safety of the provincial legislators, Beiyang also monitored the provincial legislators, and there were many guards at the door of each conference room. Seeing a large group of parliamentarians rushing towards them violently, the guards immediately stepped forward to stop them, they had been trained for a long time, although they did not know what was going on, the leading officer shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, you must not storm the other delegations. ”

"Let Yan come back!"

"Feng Xu came out to speak!"

"Don't hide in the house, what does the BJP mean?"

"Don't play dumb! Come out! ”

However, the door of the People's Party delegation was closed, and no matter how much people shouted outside, there was no one inside.

"Everyone, let's go back to dinner and get ready. When you meet in the afternoon, you must let the BJP representatives make it clear. Another younger MP shouted. With the convening of the parliament, the representatives of the provinces gradually became acquainted. Although everyone does not give in to each other when it comes to the interests of the provinces, in some more public matters, the loud-voiced and action-oriented parliamentarians have gradually become more and more likely to lead the situation for a short time. This is what Yuan Shikai is willing to see, but it is what the provincial deputies and leaders do not want to see.

This time it is the same, no matter which member of parliament shouted this, since everyone is concerned about this matter, this suggestion is also in the general interest of everyone. Except for a few parliamentarians who still resolutely refused to leave, the other parliamentarians began to disperse.

The House was heavily guarded, and a middle-aged man stood on the top sentry. He was dressed in the uniform of an ordinary soldier, but did not have any rank or markings to prove his rank. However, judging from the respectful demeanor of several officers around him, he was definitely not an ordinary soldier. From the excitement of the parliamentarians, to their gradual dispersion. The man remained silent, and the officer next to him couldn't help but ask, "Lord Feng, you won't really fight down, will you?" ”

Feng Guozhang didn't seem to hear his subordinates' questions at all, just looked at the increasingly sparse crowd below without saying a word. This time, Yuan Shikai put him in charge of the security of the council, and Feng Guozhang did not understand Yuan Shikai's plan at first. Since fighting Beiyang and seizing the leading power of the imperial court, Feng Guozhang originally thought that he could finally get rid of the embarrassing idle of "consultation" and get real power. In fact, he didn't expect himself to be in charge of a province, or even a town of Beiyang Army. But I also let him teach at the military academy.

But Yuan Shikai gave Feng Guozhang such a job of guarding the parliament. This is really a chore, and the 500 councillors, including Yuan Shikai, have to take care of each of them. After such a large number of celebrities came to the capital, this work was simply not done by people. Those people hold their own identities, and if you block these people, they will really dare to make trouble for you. Feng Guozhang had to give a strict order, and used Beiyang's usual cruel military discipline to govern his subordinates. Finally, there was no trouble.

After doing this for a while, Feng Guozhang also saw some clues. As long as the content of the latest deliberations is sensitive, the councillors will make trouble. The People's Party's announcement made Feng Guozhang feel extremely uneasy. He deliberately came to the formation in person to ensure that in case of emergency, he could order someone to stop the conflict at any time. Seeing that the last few people also dispersed, Feng Guozhang breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Go down." ”

When the parliamentarians were making a fuss, Yan Fu, Feng Xu, and Shang Yuan were all in the conference room. The three representatives of the People's Party had eaten early, as if they had not heard the noise outside, and they had eaten and rested. Everyone already knows the plan of the base area. This is also one of the steps arranged by Chen Ke.

Yuan Shikai also had to take care of his own face, and in the matter of overthrowing the Manchu Qing, he could only weaken the power of the Manchu Qing step by step. But in the end, the key issue must be the initiative of the parliament to demand that the Qing court abdicate. And Yuan Shikai couldn't force the Qing room by himself. And on the matter of whether Yuan Shikai really wanted the Qing Emperor to abdicate, the comrades did not agree on the same idea.

Chen Ke has long said, "Yuan Shikai is used to being a slave, let him be the master of his own house, Yuan Shikai may not be willing to do so." The BJP had to push him a lot of the time. ”

Before leaving, the delegation asked Chen Ke what would happen if the Constituent Assembly did not reach a decision to overturn the Qing Dynasty. Chen Ke's answer was simple: "Then tell the parliament that they should play constitutional monarchy themselves." ”

Although he knew that the afternoon would be a cruel showdown, Shang Yuan felt very relaxed in his heart. This time in Beijing, he already felt that he had received enough things. What is needed now is to hurry back to Huaihai Province and devote himself to work as a member of the most ordinary People's Party, but also as a most ordinary worker. If Shang Yuan had subconsciously avoided grassroots work before, his chest was full of desire and passion for grassroots work.

The BJP was the last to enter the parliament, and as soon as the three of them entered the door, the house, which was originally full of discussions, was quiet at first, and then burst into boos. These days, there have been no clashes between the members of the House of Representatives, and it was the House of Representatives who used violence to quell the disputes. As a lesson from the past, the parliamentarians are now unwilling to make trouble for no longer than any longer.

After Yan Fu and the others sat down, they didn't see anyone immediately rising up to accuse them. The issue of parliament went on. He was a little surprised, and when he looked at Feng Xu, Feng Xu was also puzzled. Could it be that these parliamentarians are preparing some kind of grand conspiracy?

"Comrade Shang Yuan, what do you think?" Yan Fu asked.

"Courage in private fighting, cowardice in public war." Shang Yuan calmly replied.

Yan Fu and Feng Xu were both stunned, Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, they really didn't expect that a living example would appear in front of them. Shang Yuan's insight is really not ordinary, and he points out the facts and the truth in front of him almost at the same time. What surprised Yan Fu and Feng Xu, the two university scholars, was even more surprising that Shang Yuan was not complacent or pretended to be advanced at all. On the contrary, Shang Yuan's eyes showed an irrepressible enthusiasm, which was an attitude that was already ready for the next struggle.

After coming to the conclusion that he was "brave in private fighting and timid in public war", Shang Yuan was ready to continue the struggle on this basis. This kind of focus and agility made the two seniors have to give birth to a kind of admiration.

When Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, took the stage to speak, the attention of the three representatives of the People's Party quickly focused. The Manchus claimed to be Manchus at all, and it was okay when the Manchus were strong, and now the Manchus have been weakened to such a state, and it is too ridiculous for the Han people to be the filial sons and grandsons of the Manchus. Only Manchurian officials are qualified to mention this matter.

After serving as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in 1907, during his two-year tenure, he vigorously rectified the problems of the local garrison, such as the lack of discipline and neglect of training, as well as the backwardness of education, financial constraints, and diplomatic difficulties, and he focused on rectifying the work of rectifying the administration of officials, building schools, reorganizing armaments, building railways, and prohibiting opium, and achieved certain results. If you have to give Xiliang an evaluation, it is "He really doesn't look like a man." ”

After coming to power, Xiliang wanted to say something, but he paused for a long time before he spoke: "The Qing Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and the constitutional restoration is the trend of the times, so the princes are here to discuss state affairs. However, the national unity cannot be lost, and the legal system cannot be abolished. All the princes have received the emperor's grace for generations, and the ministers of the imperial court in time are ......"

Xiliang's words are just those clichés, to the effect that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has reached this day, and everyone needs to work together to tide over the difficulties. The parliamentarians were now prosperous and wealthy, and even after the overthrow of the Manchus, they had only lost a rebellious reputation for nothing. And when the situation is turbulent, isn't there nothing left?

But this must not be said so explicitly, Xiliang may be able to do some government affairs, but he is not an orator. So some of the words that came to the ears of the parliamentarians made them frown.

After Xiliang finished speaking, Shang Yuan stood up for the first time in a speaking posture. Although according to the process, Shang Yuan should not have spoken, but no one dared to stop him at this time. Everyone's eyes were on Shang Yuan, and everyone was extremely curious to hear what the People's Party representative had to say. Xiliang is also a decisive person on weekdays, and his majesty is also quite strict. Before he could get off the stage, he saw Shang Yuan get up and walk over here. watched Shang Yuan approach step by step, and step by step steadily walked onto the podium and stood beside him. Xiliang wanted to scold Shang Yuan and let Shang Yuan get out. But no matter what he thought in his heart, he found that he couldn't move.

In fact, to stop Shang Yuan, or even kill Shang Yuan, Xiliang may not be able to do it. But Shang Yuan's power does not only come from Shang Yuan himself, but the powerful force behind Shang Yuan. Ever since he saw the People's Party's public statement, Xiliang felt a sense of despair. When he was making the final defense and defense for the Manchus on this podium, Xiliang had never felt so powerless. Although he is the dignified governor of Yungui, Xiliang can only use interests to lure, reputation to threaten, and habits to plead. In short, Xiliang could only rely on words to defend the Qing Dynasty. And as a Manchu, as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, Xiliang knew very well that language was the most powerless thing.

Shang Yuan didn't speak at first, he scanned the entire hall from left to right, front to back. His eyes were on almost everyone's eyes. Yan Fu couldn't help but smile slightly, this was the way Chen Ke liked before speaking. However, compared with Chen Ke, Shang Yuan's performance is still a little immature.

But it was the first time for the lawmakers in the audience to see this kind of public speaking technique, and they were nervous, then anxious after a long silent wait, and they couldn't help but whisper. At this moment, Shang Yuan spoke, his voice was not gentle, but as fierce as the collision of gold and stone.

"Nonsense! What I heard from the mouth of Mr. Xiliang just now was nonsense. This man said, "Everyone is blessed by the emperor, and I want to say, this is all nonsense." Everyone can achieve this position, either by relying on the imperial examination, or at least by donating money to the officials. It was the Manchus who needed everyone, not everyone who needed the Manchus. Yes, the Manchus held the imperial examinations, but when the Manchus felt that the imperial examinations were useless, they immediately abolished them. It's something that everyone has seen with their own eyes. Not a few years. The Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted everyone's money, so they made up a system of donating officials, and what they wanted was everyone's money, there is no doubt about it. As for the imperial examination, let me tell you an anecdote, in the early years of Kangxi, he opened several special enkes, because there were not many scholars who participated in his formal imperial examination. Even so, local celebrities refused to participate in the special Enke, so Kangxi forcibly invited these celebrities, no matter how the celebrities scolded him on the test papers, how they ridiculed the Manchus as barbarians, Kangxi endured it. Kangxi waved his pen, and everyone was admitted. Give the official, give the position. Why? Because there are no local celebrities, the Manchu dynasty is a joke. Revolts rose one after another, and without the support of celebrities, the Manchus would have fallen. ”

Shang Yuan said as he said, with a little body movement over and over again. Although it also seemed immature, the content of Shang Yuan's remarks attracted the attention of several parliamentarians. It seems that these actions are very well matched.

Yan Fu and Feng Xu nodded slightly, it was inconvenient for both of them to come on stage to give this speech, and they were not very good at this kind of thing. Although Chen Ke provided an outline, the specific content still had to be organized and arranged by Shang Yuan. Looking at it now, Shang Yuan has clearly grasped the main point.

"Now, that woman in the Forbidden City and that little doll can eat, drink, poop and pee. But they don't know how to govern the country at all, so why should they be the nominal rulers of China? All of you are heroes and heroes, so why should you kowtow to them? As for the more than 200 years of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone knows very well that everyone is a scholar in the literary prison again and again, as long as they go far away, I am afraid that everyone will have a senior teacher die in the Manchu literary prison. In addition to this literary prison, it is to lose power and humiliate the country again and again. Until now, the governors of the coastal provinces have opened a port, and the collection of taxes has not yet fallen into the hands of the local yamen. Foreigners hold the tariff. Why do foreigners control our customs, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty signed a treaty with foreigners, this is the grace of the Haohao Emperor. ”

After saying this, Shang Yuan paused slightly, this speech made him a little unaccustomed. Although he has practiced many times in private, he really said so many words in one breath after he came on stage, and he also showed a little sign of breath.

As Chen Ke suggested, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. After adjusting the breath again, Shang Yuan continued, "Yes, if everyone votes to let the Manchu Qing finish, everyone will be the terminator of the Manchu Qing." Some might say that everyone is a traitor. However, every end means a new beginning. In the future, history will record not only that everyone ended the decadent rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also that everyone created a glorious future of the republic. China has always said that the people are heaven, and your representatives are elected by the provinces, and you represent the will of the people, that is, the will of heaven. Now that you are holding the will of heaven and facing a great opportunity to create a bright future, but you still have to bow your head to a woman and a little doll, I think everyone is too sad. ”

Hearing this, there was a slight sound from the audience. It was the sound of some people moving their bodies involuntarily, but they didn't deliberately want to protest against Shang Yuan.

"Every time there is a change of dynasty, people who are loyal to the previous dynasty die in full swing for the final struggle. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan and Nanming resisted, and later in order to fight against the shaving order, many predecessors sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and tens of millions of people were killed in Jiangnan. If someone decides to turn their back on the will of the people and decide to hang themselves on this broken coffin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and bury them together, that is also your personal choice. I can't force people to do anything. But I can prophesy one thing to you, that your burial is doomed to be meaningless. Everyone is a smart person, and everyone can see that the demise of the Manchu Qing is destined to be like dust. When a dynasty spoils China in such a miserable state, its demise is doomed. The little reputation you want to gain as a loyal servant will only be a disgrace for the rest of your life. ”

There was silence in the house, and the members of the parliament were all smart people as Shang Yuan said, and they actually had no need to finally complete the Manchu Dynasty. Everyone now has to think about their own interests. And after Yuan Shikai came to power, everyone was not at ease, even if the Manchu Qing was on stage, even if they knew that the little emperor was actually in Yuan Shikai's hands. But Yuan Shikai can't do whatever he wants.

"We, the BJP, made a statement, and everyone saw it. Because the first thing our People's Party is to oppose is the Manchus, and the Manchus will not be destroyed, or any parliament or similar organization formed on the basis of the Manchu constitutional monarchy. None of us will admit that anyone who supports the existence of the Manchus is our enemy. We have no mercy on our enemies. But whoever agreed to overthrow the Manchus was our friend. We definitely don't have trouble with our friends. We demand the overthrow of the Manchus, the overthrow of the imperial system, and the realization of a constitutional republic. This is the position of our BJP, and it is our eternal position. ”

"You, you traitor!" Xi Liang, who was beside Shang Yuan, let out a miserable cry and rushed towards Shang Yuan. He was still far away, and all the words could be heard clearly, and at some point Xiliang had begun to burst into tears and tremble. But everyone's attention was attracted by Shang Yuan, and no one noticed the changes in Xiliang.

The People's Party attaches great importance to military training, and Shang Yuan also knows that he has to face danger at all times, and he has not let go of training military defense. In addition, he had been prepared for a long time, and in the face of Xiliang, who was in a state of semi-madness, Shang Yuan stepped back two steps, and then rushed to Xiliang and kicked the side in front of him. Xiliang was kicked off the stage by Shang Yuan. When everyone saw this change, they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

When the hospital police saw someone fighting, they immediately rushed up, and dragged Xiliang out without saying a word. Everyone only listened to Xiliang's cry, and it slipped farther and farther away. But I didn't see any hospital police trying to come up and arrest Shang Yuan.

Shang Yuan slowly walked back to the position where he was standing just now, and then continued to say loudly: "Whether the princes vote to end the Manchu Qing Dynasty or not is a matter for the princes. We, the BJP, as observers, cannot intervene, let alone interfere. However, our attitude is consistent, and if this parliament becomes a parliament elected by the Chinese themselves, we will happily join and work together with you to serve China. If there is still the banner of the Manchus on the head of this parliament, then we will fight this parliament to the end. Never die. ”

After roughly scanning the members of the parliament again, Shang Yuan said loudly: "My words are over. ”

"Papapapa......" Yan Fu and Feng Xu had already stood up and applauded. Over the past few days, the parliamentarians have gradually become accustomed to applause, and some people have taken the lead, and a few councillors have already started to applaud in a daze, until they are pulled by their companions, and they realize that they are wrong. Hurriedly lowered his head with a red face, not daring to look at the angry eyes of the surrounding councilors.

However, these errant councillors were actually too worried, and the people around them did not look at them angrily at all. Everyone was thinking thoughtfully about their own thoughts. I can't care about this idea at all.

Shang Yuan nodded slightly to Yan Fu and Feng Xu in the audience, and the two also nodded slightly at the same time. All three of them walked towards the gate of the House. This is the end of the task of the BJP delegation as an observer. All that remains to be done is for everyone to embark on the return journey back to the base area together.
