Chapter 136: Kaoru Otsuki

"A good jasmine, a good jasmine, the garden is full of flowers and herbs are fragrant but it is not fragrant, the slave has the heart to pick a flower to wear, and is afraid that it will not sprout in the coming year. A good honeysuckle, a good honeysuckle, the honeysuckle blooms like a hook tooth, the slave has the heart to pick a flower to wear, and the person who looks at the flower will scold the slave. A good rose, a good rose, the rose opens a bowl, the bowl is big, the slave has the heart to pick a flower to wear, and he is afraid of thorns pricking his hands..."

Looking at the handsome woman on the stage singing a folk song with her hands in her heart, Chen Qimei smiled at Sun Yat-sen on the side. "Sir, isn't this "flower tune" good? ”

Sun Yat-sen, who had just returned to Shanghai from France, nodded while admiring. "It's really good..."

It's just that I don't know if he's good, whether it's the flower tune or the beautiful woman above...

Chen Qimei accompanied Sun Yat-sen this time, of course, it was impossible just to invite him to listen to this song "Flowers Wither", so she just turned to the topic after listening to it for a while. "Sir, can you be confident in this election..."

"Confidence? How can you have confidence if you haven't chosen yet..."Sun Yat-sen replied with a smile while continuing to watch the performance above.

"Otherwise, Kegong has made it clear that he will not compete with Mr. for the position of president, and that Li Yuanhong is just a former Qing official, and he is also the governor who was pulled out from under the bed, how can he be compared with Mr.? With Mr.'s prestige in China..."There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the wall may not want to block the wind, how Li Yuanhong became the governor has long been known to the world, and Chen Qimei, the "Yangmei Governor", naturally does not look down on Li Yuanhong very much.

Regarding Chen Qimei's blatant contempt, Sun Yat-sen just smiled and continued to appreciate it.

Looking at Sun Yat-sen's appearance, Chen Qimei could only mutter. "Sir is so kind."

Second, Sun Yat-sen, who was tired, took him to Nanjing by boat to prepare for the provisional presidential election in Nanjing.

As a person who has enough prestige in the country and has no hindrance to all forces, it can be said that this election itself was prepared for Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen can be regarded as living up to expectations...

On December 28, Nanjing held a preparatory meeting for the provisional presidential election.

On 29 December, representatives of various provinces held a meeting in Nanjing to elect a provisional president.

According to Article 1 of the Provisional Political Axe Organizational Guidelines, the Provisional President shall be elected by the representatives of the governors of each province; Those who obtain more than two-thirds of the total number of votes shall be elected. Delegates have the right to vote, limited to one vote per province." Elected.

Forty-five deputies from 17 provinces, including Zhili, Fengtian, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan, participated in the election. Sun Yat-sen eventually received 16 of the 17 valid votes and was elected as the first provisional president of the Republic of China...

On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen held the inauguration ceremony of the provisional president of the Republic of China at the Nanjing Presidential Palace (formerly the Liangjiang Governor's Palace).

――――――――――

At the celebratory reception, people constantly toasted Sun Yat-sen, who had just become the president, and Pu Dianjun, as a representative of Sichuan, was no exception. It's just that maybe it's because of his special mission, even Pu Dianjun, who was very calm when he was arrested by Zhang Renjun and put in prison, actually felt a little nervous at the moment...

"I didn't expect that I would actually do this kind of thing for the governor who looked down on him when he was in the Baolu movement..."Feeling the impermanence of the world, Pu Dianjun sighed in his heart. However, after learning the truth from Yan Guang, he also felt that he should do what he could for the mother and daughter.

But even so, Pu Dianjun still glared fiercely at the entourage behind him who pushed him out and hid behind him. "What a bunch of people who can't go through the same trouble."

Thinking so, Pu Dianjun walked in front of Sun Yat-sen. "Congratulations to the President..."

"It turned out to be Brother Boying, and I was still wondering where you had gone just now." Although he had just assumed the presidency, Sun Yat-sen had already learned from Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren about the financial difficulties of the provisional political axe, and Yan Guang was a well-known wealthy man in China. Although no one knows how rich this Sichuan governor is, it is not too much to donate tens of millions to the Nanjing political axe, right?

Therefore, Sun Yat-sen was quite polite to Pu Dianjun, the representative of Yan Guang.

It's just that Sun Yat-sen didn't know that the more polite he was, the more uncomfortable Pu Dianjun became, just thinking about Yan Guang's order, thinking about the poor mother and daughter who were still in the book, and finally Pu Dianjun could only grit his teeth in his heart, and then said with a smile. "I just talked to a few friends, and I'm tired of the president." Saying that, Pu Dianjun pretended to be a little curious. "By the way, I heard that the president also has a wife and daughter, and now he is living abroad, I don't know when the president plans to take his wife and young lady back to China?"

This is the question and answer method chosen by Pu Dianjun after discussing with Yan Guang and others through telegrams.

Although Sun Yat-sen's president does not actually have much power, he is also the nominal leader of the Republic of China anyway, and if he asks according to Yan Guang's method at the beginning, he will not only embarrass Sun Yat-sen, but also offend a lot of people who don't have to offend.

And even Yan Guang himself thinks that this kind of thing is actually a bit of a mouse, but he really can't stand it and will be nosy. So after discussing with everyone, Yan Guang decided to ask Pu Dianjun by tapping on the side. This can not only remind Sun Yat-sen that he still has a wife who has been forgotten for a long time, but at the same time will not offend Sun Yat-sen......... At least it won't offend you too much...

"Ma'am?" Hearing Pu Dianjun say this, Sun Yat-sen didn't think much about it, because at this time he had not divorced Lu Muzhen for Song Qingling, so Sun Yat-sen thought that Pu Dianjun was talking about Lu Muzhen.

"Yes, it's the president's lady in Ben." No one knew that Pu Dianjun's heart seemed to have stopped beating when he said this.

At this time, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren also walked out from the side. "What, does Yat-sen still have a wife in Yuben?" It's no wonder that the two of them are strange, because when Sun Yat-sen and Otsuki Kaoru got married, the two didn't know Sun Yat-sen.

"That's right, that lady is herself, I think it's called Kaoru Otsuki." Pu Dianjun deliberately ignored Sun Yat-sen's face, and smiled as if he hadn't noticed anything. "The governor of my family has lived abroad for many years, and he has also been to this book (lie). The governor had heard the story of the president and his wife during his short stay, and after returning to China, he had told us about it, and praised the president and his wife for really forgetting their love for the year..."It is indeed very forgetful, Sun Yat-sen was 38 years old when the two got married, and Kaoru Otsuki was only 15 years old...

Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and even the people around them all became strange when they heard Pu Dianjun say this, and in the end, it was Song Jiaoren who played a round. "Yixian, this is your mistake, since there is still a lady in Yuben, how can you not introduce it to us?"

yes, how can you not introduce it? But how do you introduce it?

Sun Yat-sen could not tell the two of them that he met Kaoru Otsuki when she was 11 years old (1898), and married when the woman was 15 years old, that is, in 1903 (in the same year he fell in love with the girl Haru Asada), and then he was busy with the revolution.

By the way, in the first two years, Sun Yat-sen would send some living expenses back to Kaoru Otsuki, but in July 1905, when Sun Yat-sen returned to Yuben and left in October, Kaoru Otsuki was left with nothing but the child in his womb.

Since then, Otsuki Sutang (Otsuki's father) and Otsuki Kaoru have contacted Sun Yat-sen through their contact person Wen Bingchen, but there has been no response. In order to avoid the dishonor of the illegitimate child, Otsuki Sudo could only register his granddaughter, who had been born for more than a year, in the name of his youngest daughter "Fumiko". As a result, Kaoru Otsuki and Fumiko, who are actually mother-daughter relationships, became "sisters" in the family register. Since then, Kaoru Otsuki has never met Sun Yat-sen again.

To make it clear, in 1913, on the eve of the Second Revolution, Sun Yat-sen visited Yuben, but still did not meet Kaoru Otsuki and his daughter, who had been given away as an adopted daughter by someone else. And when the Second Revolution failed and Sun Yat-sen went into exile, he and Soong Qingling began their great revolutionary love...

For the sake of the country and the nation, there are many people who have thrown themselves into the revolution and abandoned their wives and children, and as a small person, we cannot evaluate them, because although they have hurt their families, they have made great contributions to the country and the nation, and the price behind this contribution is often beyond the imagination of others.

However, when the revolution succeeds or even becomes famous, he still ignores his abandoned wife and daughter? (Not counting the original Lu Muzhen, the concubine Chen Cuifen who "retired after success"... )

For this alone, Yan Guang looked down on Sun Yat-sen...
