Chen Zikun was a little excited, but also a little nervous, Liang Qichao is a senior he admires, this time he officially invited himself to come to the door as a guest, and he had to communicate, but with his knowledge of half a bottle of vinegar, wouldn't he be cowardly and embarrassed.

Baoqing also pinched the sweat for him, but they looked at the problem from different angles, Baoqing felt that it was not appropriate to meet an old-school person like Liang Qichao, whether he was wearing a suit or a uniform, only the robe and horse coat looked formal, he was in a hurry, and he was busy finding Xing'er and saying that he wanted to help Chen Zikun pull the cloth to make a coat.

Xing'er glanced at him, ignored it, and Baoqing was anxious; "Why don't you take it seriously, Da Kunzi is going to see Mr. Liang Qichao." ’

Xing'er went straight into the house and took out two clothes, one was a blue coat and the other was a black satin horse coat, which was obviously not something that Baoqing could wear.

"When you think about it, the daylily is cold, I have prepared it for him." Apricot smiled.

Early the next morning, Chen Zikun dressed up, changed into a robe and horse coat tailored for him by Xing'er, got into a foreign car from his own depot, and went straight to the Liangzhai along the alley in Beigou, Nanxiao Street, Neinan, Dongzhimen.

Liang Qichao's mansion in Beijing is not very big, the courtyard of Sanjin, blue bricks and white walls, ancient trees and fish tanks, from the inside to the outside are full of a smell of scholarly doors, Chen Zikun was led by the servant to the living room of the inverted room to sit down and watch tea, not much effort Liang Qichao took a young man in his early twenties out of the backyard, Chen Zikun hurried to the door to greet him: "Mr. Liang, don't come to harm?" ”

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Zikun is coming to the cold house, it is really brilliant, let me introduce you, this is Dog Sicheng." ”

Chen Zikun stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Sicheng, I've been looking up for a long time." ”

Liang Sicheng held Chen Zikun's hand with two hands, shook hands cordially, and said, "Brother Chen, hello." ”

The guests and hosts sat down, and after some greetings, Liang Qichao asked: "Zikun, what books have you read in the two years you have been in the United States?" ”

Chen Zikun was not idle last night, he had already typed the draft, and said eloquently: "When I was studying in the United States, I mainly studied modern military and international politics, and I did not dare not read Clausewitz's "On War", Du Hei's "Air Supremacy" also read through it several times, and there were also some historical materials and papers on Japan-US and Sino-Japanese relations; During my travels in Europe, I read some of the works of Schopenhauer and Hegel, as well as Krut Paulkin's book on anarchism, and of course, Karl Marx's ** Manifesto, and "Capital". ”

Liang Qichao nodded frequently, and asked with interest: "It seems that you have a wide range of knowledge and read so many books, why are you?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is to broaden my horizons and enrich myself, of course, for me, the ultimate goal is to save China." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Sicheng couldn't help but get excited, and looked at his father eagerly, but Liang Qichao was still as calm as an ancient well.

"Oh, then tell me, how can we save China? Who can save China? ”

Chen Zikun was silent, this topic was too big for him to control.

"Mr. Liang, with all due respect, at present, I am still taking a step at a time, and I have not thoroughly studied this issue." Chan said.

"It doesn't matter." Liang Qichao smiled kindly, "It's just chatting, it's okay if you make a mistake." ”

"Then I'll say it." Chen Zikun cleared his throat and began to sort out his thoughts during this time.

"In my opinion, China is a terminally ill poisonous sore, from the inside to the outside to the roots, everything is rotten, no matter what kind of panacea, it will not help!"

Liang Qichao's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression remained unchanged: "Go on." ”

Chen Zikun continued: "Whether it is a constitutional monarchy, a parliamentary cabinet system, or a presidential system, it is a good system, but when it comes to this part of China, all of them have lost their due efficacy, Mr. Liang was the leader of the constitutional monarchy, and naturally knows how difficult it is to reform and reform, as for the parliamentary system, I dare to say that even if Song Jiaoren does not die, the parliamentary system will inevitably fail, there is no need to use a knife and a gun, as long as a few thousand oceans, beautiful women and alcohol, you can buy a parliamentarian, Xu Shuzheng didn't do this?" ”

This is said to Liang Qichao's heart, when he was a reformist with the same name as Kang Youwei and Tan Si, he had a deep understanding of the difficulty of changing the law, and the world said that it was the post-party obstructing the change, but in fact, it was not just the post-party, but the entire rotten society did not support the change.

As for Song Jiaoren's death, Liang Qichao also remembers it vividly, and after the tragedy, the first thing he thought of was that he would be the next to be assassinated.

If the constitutional parliamentary system is successfully implemented, the most profitable ones should be Song Jiaoren's Kuomintang and Liang Qichao's Progressive Party, while Yuan Shikai, who has a heavy army, and Sun Wen, who has formed another Chinese Revolutionary Party next to power, will not get the slightest benefit.

As for the Anfu Club used by the Anhui system to manipulate the Congress, it is a headache for Liang Qichao, Duan Qirui expelled Zhang Xun and rebuilt the republic, the most powerful in the Congress is the 'Constitutional Research Association' reorganized by the Progressive Party, Liang Qichao has great expectations for the reorganization of the Congress, but in the end it was beaten by the Anfu Department formed by Xu Shuzheng, and the loss was dismal, 472 seats, and the research department with the highest voice actually only won 21 seats, far lower than the 335 seats of the Anfu Department.

What kind of thing is the Anfu department, everyone knows it, it is a group of scum parliamentarians bribed by Xu Shuzheng with Japanese money, with a fixed allowance of 300 oceans per month, drinking and playing cards and calling prostitutes in the club all day long, it is such a smoky miasma of wine and meat group without any political program and organizational structure, and it easily defeated the Constitutional Research Society that had deep roots and evolved from the constitutionalist faction in the late Qing Dynasty, how could Liang Qichao not be disheartened.

It is precisely because of this disappointment that Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin and others will take the opportunity of the diplomatic failure of the Anhui Department at the Paris Peace Conference to create public opinion and successfully overthrow the Duan Qirui government.

Chen Zikun's analysis hit the nail on the head, Liang Qichao nodded and sighed; "Yes, the military is in power, the parliamentary system is in vain, and the next presidential election is not known."

"Now let's talk about who can save China." Chen Zikun continued to speak loudly, "Only Yuan Gongbao can turn the tide when he is reincarnated, and of course there is a prerequisite, that is, his body can hold on." ”

Liang Qichao smiled bitterly: "If Yuan Shikai is not the emperor and chooses to be China's Washington, then China does have a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately these have become history." ”

Chen Zikun said: "With history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, even if Yuan Shikai doesn't do Washington, it is always possible to be a contemporary Zhao Kuangyin, but unfortunately he was fooled by the Japanese, thinking that being the emperor can save China, how do you know that he is in the middle of the treacherous scheme." ”

Hearing this, Liang Sicheng couldn't help it, and interjected: "Isn't it because of his own selfishness that Yuan Shikai wants to risk the disapproval of the world and ascend the throne as emperor?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "It turns out that Yuan Shikai is not the emperor, and he is still between the two, but his son must be the crown prince, and the Japanese also want to be the emperor when he ascends the throne, poor old Yuan Yingming I, confused for a while, and was played by his lame son and the Japanese, he really thought that when he became the emperor, the people of the world would be convinced, and China would be unified under the world, and he would be able to put his mind at ease to deal with foreign insults, but unfortunately he was wrong, all this was a conspiracy of the Japanese." ”

Are you saying that the Japanese knew that he would not be emperor for a long time, so they did everything possible to encourage him to ascend the throne? Liang Sicheng seemed to understand a little.

"Yes!" Chen Zikun said that he got up and paced with his back in the hall, "The Japanese do not die in their hearts, all their actions have only one purpose, that is, to make China chaotic, only China becomes a mess of scattered sand, this evil wolf has a chance to speak, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Japanese took in the revolutionary party, and financed firearms, Yuan Shikai period, the Japanese encouraged him to be the emperor, Duan Qirui period, Japan borrowed tens of millions of dollars to support his military reunification, all with the same purpose, to trouble China!" ”

Liang Sicheng gasped: "The Japanese are so scheming, doesn't anyone in my country see through it?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Of course there is, I believe that Duan Qirui can see through it, and Xu Shuzheng can also see through it, but they think they can control this power and use it for me, but in fact, they are just a little smart, and the Japanese are the real great wisdom." ”

"I know it's bait, but I still want to bite the hook, Japan is really insidious!" Liang Sicheng said indignantly.

Liang Qichao coughed dryly, and finally spoke: "So, as soon as Yuan Shikai dies, no one can save China?" ”

Chen Zikun raised his eyebrows: "Of course there is, the burden of saving China is on the shoulders of my generation, and I have read Mr.'s "Young China Says" dozens of times: the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country; If the youth is strong, the country will be strong, and if the youth is independent, the country will be independent; The freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country, and the progress of the youth is the progress of the country; If the youth is better than Europe, the country is better than Europe, and if the youth is stronger than the earth, the country is stronger than the earth! In a few decades, China will surely dominate the world! ”

"Well said!" Liang Sicheng couldn't help but applaud, and when he saw his father's calm face, he stopped again, and asked with hope: "Brother Chen, I have heard Huiyin talk about you a long time ago, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation, you are really open to your horizons, and I seem to have a hunch that you are the one who saved China." ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Brother Sicheng is serious, I, Chen Zikun, am a martial artist, and I know my catties, in fact, I have been looking for the person who can save China, and I am willing to lead the horse for him and go to the soup and fire." ”

"Zikun's words are quite insightful, among the younger generation, people with such clear minds and such grand ambitions are rare, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." Liang Qichao finally spoke.

"Sir is polite, Zikun also has a reluctant invitation."

"Oh, you can say it first." Liang Qichao smiled.

"I want to worship Mr. as a teacher." Chen Zikun's eyes were blazing and his face was radiant, and all the tricks he made just now were actually for this purpose.

Liang Qichao looked up to the sky and laughed: "It coincides!" ”
