In the Beijing Congress, representatives from all over the country gathered again, they were here when Zaifeng was there, they were here when Yuan Shikai was there, and now they are here again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But their words never counted, they couldn't vote satisfactorily, and Yuan Shikai didn't even let them go out to eat.

But instead of voting for the president, they voted on a new constitution.

Over the years, too many constitutions have been drafted, Zhang Zhidong has done it, Kang Liang has done it, Brother Pao has also done it, and Yuan Shikai has also done it, but none of them are reliable, but these predecessors have done a lot of work, and Wang Chonghui easily came up with a complete draft constitution and read it out one by one in the Congress, so that everyone could vote for it.

The first was the naming of the country, and Yang Chao's proposal for the name of the Republic of China was passed by a narrow number of votes, and the constitution was immediately renamed the "Constitution of the Republic of China", followed by other articles.

The second is to declare that the National Assembly of the Republic of China represents the highest organ of state power and has the power to legislate, collect taxes, and elect and impeach state leaders. These parliamentarians happily adopted this article.

It was then announced that the Republic of China would adopt a representative form of government, with the president elected by the elected members of the country, the president serving a four-year term, the cabinet nominated by the president, and the parliament having the final confirmation power.

The President of the country is then declared the supreme leader of the country and the commander-in-chief of all armed forces, but the conduct of military operations and the declaration of war on foreign countries must be approved and authorized by the National Assembly, otherwise they will be invalid.

The passage of constitutional texts determines every aspect of the country.

Yang Chao walked to where Yuan Shikai was, Yuan Shikai lived in Zhongnan Sea, and no one touched him.

Yang Chao led his troops here and stopped the Yuan family at the door.

"Big brother, big brother, is the emperor really that good?"

Yang Chao sighed and looked at Yuan Shikai's somewhat pale face, and at the same time, a probe stretched out from the ground and burrowed into Yuan Shikai's skull, and there were thinner probes in the probe that pierced Yuan Shikai's brain.

Yang Chao had already figured out Yuan Shikai's situation, he was anxious to have a cerebral hemorrhage, and the cerebral thrombus blocked some veins in the brain, and soon those blood clots were removed.

Yuan Shikai coughed, and when the Yuan family was let in, he was shocked to find that Yuan Shikai, who had made all the imperial doctors and foreign doctors helpless, woke up with a red cough, and Yang Chao was next to him, holding a pretending silver needle in his hand, and slowly pulled it out from the top of Yuan Shikai's head.

"The blood is pouring up, it's out of the way!"

Yang Chao said lightly, the Yuan family was full of gratitude, and they pointed to Yuan Shikai, now they are not the emperor second, the problem is that they are worried that they will not be able to save their lives, and the change of dynasty will be a river of blood.

"Yang Chao?"

Yuan Shikai was confused for a while, and it slowly became clear in front of him, and he saw Yang Chao at first sight.

"Are you here to escort?"

In Yuan Shikai's consciousness, he has already been called the emperor and is the emperor.

Yang Chao sighed: "I have already led troops into Beijing, Lord Yuan can rest in peace, and no one dares to disturb you." ”

then walked out and pulled Yuan Keding: "Don't tell your father too much first, let him rest well, in one time, the gods can't save him." ”

Yuan Keding could only nod vigorously, and at the same time held Yang Chao's hand, and when he let go, a large check had already fallen into Yang Chao's hand.

Looking at Yuan Keding's panicked eyes, he timidly said the word "consultation fee", Yang Chao received a big gift for the first time, where is this consultation fee, this is life money.

Yang Chao knew that if he didn't accept this money, the Yuan family would not rest assured, and if they were not at ease, they would cause trouble, after all, there were still people loyal to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai continued to be the emperor in the deception of his family, and from time to time he issued a holy decree on the hospital bed, and there were also old eunuchs beside him to obey orders, and he looked like him.

During the period when Yuan Shikai was recuperating from illness, after a month of intense discussion in the National Assembly, Wang Chonghui explained and amended one by one, and finally adopted the first constitution of the Republic of China.

Then they entered the process of electing the president, which is what the parliamentarians are most worried about, and on the first day, many people kept looking at the door of the parliament uneasily, and found that Yang Chao did not send troops to surround the parliament.

It is not easy to elect the president, the opinions of the provinces are not consistent, and each province has its own nominees, but after heated discussions, after many rounds of voting, the candidates are basically selected in the three provinces of Shandong and the east of the province nominated Yang Chao, nominated by the representative of Guangdong Sun Dacang, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces nominated Cai Yi, Beiyang Overseer nominated Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, and some scattered provinces nominated Vice President Li Yuanhong.

After the results came out and appeared in the newspaper, Cai Ye was the first to stand up, saying that he would not participate in the election, while Brother Pao did not dare to come to Beijing to run for the election, he always hid in Japan, so the main candidates focused on Yang Chao, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and Li Yuanhong.

Yang Chao, Duan Qirui, and Feng Guozhang, the two Beiyang people, are naturally the most powerful, they are all people with heavy troops, and they are all powerful factions with several provinces, and the call for election is naturally the highest.

However, the supporters of Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang had fierce confrontation, and it was obvious that there were different opinions within Beiyang.

In the first round of voting, Duan Qirui received the highest number of votes, but only 30% of the votes were obtained, not a majority; In the second round of voting, Feng Guozhang had the most, but his share was even smaller, only 27 percent; In the third round of voting, Yang Chao received 35% of the votes, but still less than half.

The front desk is voting again and again, and behind the scenes is a behind-the-scenes transaction, everyone is active, and Yang Chao is also active, attracting representatives from various provinces.

In the fourth round of voting, the results were unexpected, Yang Chao got forty percent of the votes, Li Yuanhong also reached forty percent, and Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang basically gave up the competition.

And Yang Chao attracted Duan Qirui's support, after all, Duan Qirui had worked with Yang Chao in the Northeast, and he still recognized Yang Chao's character. And Feng Guozhang chose Li Yuanhong, Li Bodhisattva's name is not called in vain, this kind of person is no threat to anyone, there is no soldier in his hand, and there is no strength in the locality, it is completely a big banner, and it is not harmful for anyone to pull him to the top.

Then, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, the fifth round of voting between Yang Chao and Li Yuanhong was held.

At the end of the vote count, Li Yuanhong won 51 percent and Yang Chao won 49 out of eighth, and Li Yuanhong won the election by a narrow margin.

But at this time, the provincial legislators began to beat drums in their hearts, and Yang Chao, who controlled the city of Beijing, would accept this result?

In everyone's worries, Yang Chao and Li Yuanhong were talking in secret, and the two talked for several days.

Yang Chao walked out of Li Yuanhong's apartment, and then held a press conference to solemnly express his approval of the election results, admit defeat in the election, and congratulate President Li Da on his election, hoping that the new Republic of China will flourish under his leadership.

The national public opinion was in an uproar, obviously they didn't expect it, they didn't dare to believe it, they didn't do a good job of being a power figure like Yang Chao, they could accept such a result, although they expected it, but when it happened, he was still a little caught off guard.
