For the news brought by Huang Xing. Li Yuanhong and Yang Du were surprised, they thought that after the dissolution of the alliance, that Mr. Sun traveled to Nanyang, intending to leave the political arena from now on, but now Huang Xing told them that Mr. Sun was not only about to return to China, but also planned to give a speech in the National Assembly, which was obviously not in the interests of the United Front.

"Keqiang, Mr. Sun wants to return to his roots, this is of course a wanderer's homesickness, I deeply understand, but he is now just an ordinary national identity, neither a parliamentarian nor a political official, how can he speak casually in the Congress? When the National Assembly was elected, Song Yuchu planned to invite Mr. Sun to return to China to participate in the election of the House of Representatives, but he resigned, and later the House of Representatives of the National Assembly was formed, and the members respected Mr. Sun as the first person, so they intended to nominate him as an honorary member, but Mr. Sun did not want to be famous. Now that the National Assembly is on the right track, various draft laws have been voted on successively, and everything pays attention to a system, how can Mr. Sun casually make a speech in the Congress? He wants to make a speech, can he publish it in the newspaper, or he can make his speech by telephone, and now the republican government protects the people's right to speech, and no one does not allow him to make speeches, but why does he have to give a speech in Congress? Is Congress a wet market? ”

Li Yuanhong's words were a bit wordy, but the meaning was clear: he opposed Sun Wen's speech to the Congress.

Huang Xing frowned, considered his words, and said: "What Speaker Li said is quite reasonable, but many of the members of the National Assembly are cadres of the former League, and they still respect Mr. Sun. Therefore, Mr. Sun is the first person, and Zhao Zhenhua also said at the beginning that Mr. Sun is the "first pioneer". Now Mr. Sun is about to return to China, some time ago, a lot of things happened in the country, Song Yuchu was assassinated, which also made Mr. Sun depressed, he wanted to make a speech in the Congress, not for the League, not for the United Front, but for the country, in order to wake up the people, let the people see clearly those thorns on the road of constitutionalism, and let the people unite to defend the republic and the Constitution. ”

It turns out that Mr. Sun also understands the meaning of defending the Constitution, and since he understands this truth, why should he take the lead in destroying the Constitution? The National Assembly is both a parliamentary and a legislature, and Mr. Sun is neither a member of Parliament. How can a non-political official casually go to the Congress to give a speech? Even in the United States and the United Kingdom, it is impossible for a civilian to stand in the legislature and make a speech in the legislature, right? At worst, this is contempt for Congress, and at worst, it is a coup d'état. ”

Unlike Li Yuanhong, Yang Duke did not save face for the alliance at all, and what he said was so heartbreaking that even Li Yuanhong felt that it was inappropriate.

"Huizi, what you said is serious, it's just a speech, and it can't be related to a coup d'état."

Li Yuanhong shook his head, glanced at Huang Xing, and said: "Keqiang, it's not that I don't want to help, I really can't help with this, I am the president of the Senate of the National Assembly, and I can't take the lead in destroying the system." Mr. Sun wants to make a speech in Congress, and I can't make the decision on this matter, so in my opinion, I should ask the president to decide. ”

With such a few words, Li Yuanhong threw this hot potato to Zhao Bei, indeed, he couldn't afford to offend the Alliance, and he could only push Zhao Bei to the front, a few days ago, he Speaker Li had just been bombed, and now there are some cups and snakes, and he Speaker Li doesn't want to eat a few more bullets.

Although Huang Xing is not a seasoned politician, he still has the ability to observe words and colors. When he saw Li Yuanhong shirking it, he knew that the other party really didn't want Mr. Sun to give a speech to the Congress, so he didn't insist anymore.

"Since Speaker Lebanon can't be the master, then, let the president decide."

Speaking of this, Huang Xing changed his words and said: "Huang went to Speaker Li to disturb him today, and there is something else I want to ask Speaker Li to help." A few days ago, the governor of Guangdong, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong, intensified his efforts to arrest the so-called 'party bandits' in the province, many members of the former alliance were arrested by the Guangdong army, and their lives are currently unknown. ”

Li Yuanhong groaned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I can help you ask." However, Keqiang, your alliance has long been disbanded, and there are still some people who are moving around under the banner of the alliance. It is not good for public security, and many of them do have a background in the party, these people can certainly charge forward in the ** era, but now that they are republican, they should be good citizens and travel all day long, what is this? Zhang Renjun arrested the bandits, maybe there were people who caught the wrong ones, but his original intention was good, now the whole country is 'chaotic', and the president has sent a telegram to the governors of all provinces. We must step up the search for saboteurs and restore order throughout the country in the shortest possible time; if order is not restored, even I, the speaker of the National Assembly, will be bombed. ”

Li Yuanhong had something to say, and Huang Xing understood it, but he didn't plan to discuss the assassination of Speaker Lai, in fact, due to the jumping up and down of Chen Qimei's gang, some members of the National Assembly have already begun to suspect that Li Yuanhong's assassination and the alliance will be Radicals, but there is no conclusive evidence yet, but whether it is the members of the United Front or the members of the Constituent Assembly, they have deliberately kept a distance from the League, especially those who have originally joined the League, and they are even more afraid of the League.

For this situation, Huang Xing, Tan Renfeng and others are also distressed, they also understand, ** After that, the League began to transform, from a ** organization to a group of politicians, one of the purposes of Song Jiaoren's reorganization of the League was to try to transform the League into a professional political group in a standardized way, but with the assassination of Song Jiaoren, there was no one to lead this work, although Zhao Bei was the chairman of the United Front, but he has never been very specific to preside over party affairs, Song Jiaoren has always been in charge of party affairs, but as soon as Song Jiaoren died, there was no one to preside over this work, although Xiong Chengji has now been ordered to take over the party affairs work, but because he is a cadre of the Restoration Society, and his qualifications are too shallow, he is far less handy than Song Jiaoren, and as a result, the current united front has shown signs of splitting, and Chen Qimei and others are still the highest call for "rebuilding the alliance."

That's why. Mr. Sun is in a hurry to rush back to China, the purpose is for this matter of rebuilding the Alliance, and he is also the leader of course.

However, as a member of the United Front, Huang Xing opposed Mr. Sun's return to China at this time, and in his view, although the United Front has now occupied the Senate and the House of Representatives, due to the successive changes in the political arena some time ago, the foundation of the United Front has been shaken. In order to stabilize the national order as soon as possible, it is necessary to ensure coordination between the presidential palace and the National Assembly, and the existence of the United Front is a prerequisite for maintaining this coordination.

Once the united front splits into a number of mutually suspicious and even confrontational groups of politicians at such a time, it will seriously damage the coordination between the presidential office and the National Assembly, and Huang Xing will not dare to speculate on what will happen at that time, but one thing is certain, through the military and political struggles in the past few days, Huang Xing has clearly seen Zhao Bei's ' If the Congress cannot play a role, then Zhao Bei is likely to throw off the Congress and go it alone, just like Yuan Shikai did at the beginning, he will use the military power in his hand to solve the problem more simply and simply.

Therefore, Huang Xing regretted the death of Song Jiaoren, in his opinion, if Song Jiaoren was still alive, there would be no danger of splitting the united front, because Song Jiaoren was a flexible person, he knew how to compromise, and how to get the most out of this compromise, and more importantly, he was very prestigious in the constitutionalist faction.

"I have taken note of Speaker Lai's words, the League has long since been dissolved, and the people who are still operating in the name of the 'League Association' are completely personal and have nothing to do with the League, and I am also opposed to the re-establishment of the League."

Huang Xing thought seriously for a moment, and finally decided to make his position clear to Li Yuanhong.

"Keqiang can understand the righteousness, Li is very pleased, if all members of Congress can understand things like Keqiang, the Congress would have moved to Beijing a long time ago."

Li Yuanhong is a seasoned politician, of course he will not easily believe that Huang Xing's words are from his heart, but he still has to talk about what he said on the face, and after chatting with Huang Xing for a while, Huang Xing said goodbye and left.

As soon as Huang Xing walked on the front foot, the back foot of the 'door' room walked outside the 'door' of the wing room.

"Master, Master Zhang Jizhi brought a few foreigners to visit the master."

After receiving the greeting post presented by the 'door' room, Li Yuanhong was quite surprised, Zhang Jian came over, after all, he was a member of Congress, but the foreigners who came with Zhang Jian had a somewhat special identity.

"These foreigners are all from the French Consulate in Shanghai, and one of them is also a counselor."

Li Yuanhong 'handed over' the post to Yang Du, and Yang Du was also quite surprised.

Zhang Jian is not only a senator of Congress, he is also the former champion of the Qing Dynasty, a well-known champion industrialist in the southeast, so it is naturally difficult to ask the 'door' room to lead him over, Li Yuanhong took Yang Du and others to the 'door' room to greet him.

When the two sides met, greetings were indispensable, and Li Yuanhong led a few people to the east chamber, and he didn't say much wordy, and cut to the chase directly.

Zhang Jian and others came to invite Li Yuanhong to the French Concession for a banquet, and the counselor of the French Consulate in Shanghai personally presented the invitation to Li Yuanhong.

As for the purpose of the French banquet for Li Yuanhong, the French counselor also made it very clear.

At the same time, Mr. Consul also wanted to introduce a distinguished guest from Yunnan to the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, whose name was Lu Rongting, who used to be the governor of Guangxi, and this time he came to Shanghai, he came by the way, and after the banquet, he was going to Beijing immediately to meet Mr. President of the Republic of China.

After the counselor finished speaking, Li Yuanhong and Yang Du 'exchanged' their eyes and changed their 'colors', and both of them were strange in their hearts, they didn't know why Lu Rongting suddenly wanted to go to Beijing, and they couldn't understand why Lu Rongting and the French came together.

Lu Rongting has been leading the army to entrench in the southern region of Yunnan since **, relying on the support of the French Indochinese colonial authorities and the confrontation with the Communist Party, as an opponent of the united front, or even an enemy, Lu Rongting went to Beijing at this time, he was not afraid of being detained by Zhao Bei?

Incomprehensible, Li Yuanhong and Yang Du both fell into deep thought.
