In Sichuan in mid-March, the temperature has risen to more than 20 degrees, this temperature symbolizes the beginning of spring for both people and everything, and for Sichuan where the summer is too hot, the temperature of more than 20 degrees happens to be the most comfortable. Especially when I am free, I am lying in the gazebo and feeling the gentle breeze, how can I describe it with two words...

It's just that many times, even the breeze can't blow away the depression in a person's heart.

For example, Pu Dianjun, who was looking through documents in the office.

Although construction was under construction in many places in Chengdu at this time, and many of the buildings under construction were about 5 floors, the Ministry of the Interior building, located not far from the Governor's Palace, was still one of the few buildings in Chengdu with more than 3 floors. As the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior, Pu Dianjun's office is naturally on the highest floor of the Ministry of the Interior building.

It's just that what makes many people slander is that Pu Dianjun's office is not in a room on the fourth floor, but on the roof of the building.

"There's definitely something wrong with this guy's head..."

When I saw the ash hut on the rooftop, this was the reaction of almost everyone, including Yan Guang...

Of course, in such a high place, the ventilation effect of Pu Dianjun's office is naturally good, especially those slightly open windows, the breeze blowing in from the windows can eliminate all the heat even in the middle of summer...

It's just that this article is obviously not applicable to Pu Dianjun at the moment.

"Ahh It's really a thing..."

As early as 2 months ago, when Pu Dianjun had not yet set off for Nanjing, he was still the leader of the Sichuan Constitutionalists, and the entire Constitutionalists also included Luo Lun, Zhang Lan, Deng Xiaoke and other powerful and famous figures. What if he comes back from Nanjing? But it's a clear body, a bare-bones commander...

In fact, when he first learned that he would be the representative of Sichuan Province and go to Nanjing to elect the first president of China with representatives of more than a dozen other provinces, Pu Dianjun was still very excited and excited, after all, he was the first president of China, and the election of the first president would definitely make him famous in history. Although in the end it was only a temporary president...

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Guizhou has essentially become the sphere of influence of the Sichuan military and political axe, and his power as deputy governor Luo is much greater than that of Zhang Bailin, the official governor...

And what about Luo Lun? It happens to be from his constitutionalist faction, and Luo Lun has more than half of the power in Guizhou, which naturally means that his Pu Dianjun's constitutionalist power has expanded a lot.

Because of this, although Pu Dianjun was sprayed with a few basins by Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren and others when he was in Nanjing, it was still difficult to hide the joy in his heart.

It was at this time that he received a telegram from some members of the constitutionalists. The constitutionalists on the telegram told him that Luo Lun, Zhang Lan and others had taken refuge in Yan Guang, and many other members of the constitutionalist faction had also taken refuge in Yan Guang, even themselves...... has already taken refuge in Yan Guang, and now he will send him this telegram of reminder, just to fulfill his obligations...

And after receiving the telegram, looking at the content of the telegram, Pu Dianjun just smiled and said nothing, and it was because some people wanted to separate the relationship between him and Luo Lun and others.

You must know that Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun and others have been close friends for many years, such as Zhang Lan, in 1899, when Pu Dianjun returned to his hometown Guang'an in Sichuan after failing the exam, he set up the first new-style school "Zijin Jingshe" in Guang'an, which hired Zhang Lan as a school teacher...

After more than 10 years of friendship, Luo Lun and Zhang Lan will betray him? In Pu Dianjun's opinion, this is almost a fantasy...

Then, Pu Dianjun cupped...

First, Luo Lun sent a telegram to Pu Dianjun, telling him his decision to quit the constitutionalists, and it didn't take long for Zhang Lan's telegram to come, and in the end, even Deng Xiaoke sent a telegram...

Deng Xiaoke is also forgotten, since Yan Guang took charge of Sichuan, Deng Xiaoke has been very close to Yan Guang, and the Shu newspaper he founded has almost become the official newspaper of Sichuan's military and political axe.

After more than ten years of intersection, Pu Dianjun knows very well that Luo Lun and Zhang Lan are by no means the kind of people who can be shaken by money and profit, but why did they break away from the constitutionalist faction and join Yan Guang? This Pu Dianjun couldn't figure it out...

In any case, after Luo Lun, Pu Dianjun and other important cadres, as well as most of the members, left the constitutionalists, the Sichuan constitutionalism has completely become history. Two months later, Pu Dianjun, who returned to Sichuan by boat, looked at the few pitiful welcoming crowds at the port, and he could only grit his teeth and throw himself into Yan Guang's arms, who had completely become the commander of the light pole.

After all, now he has completely become the commander of the light pole, and the constitutionalists, constitutionalists, and the Manchu royal family have all abdicated, and he, the constitutionalist, really doesn't know which constitution should be established...

However, I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise, after he returned to Chengdu, Yan Guang, who was somewhat guilty, also gave him more rights as the Minister of Internal Affairs. After all, taking advantage of a business trip to co-opt other people's factions, it is impossible for Yan Guang to say that he is not guilty of this kind of thing...

"Alas, I don't know what method the governor used to win over Jincai and them, those guys are also detouring when they see me now, even if I want to ask, I can't ask..." This puzzle really puzzled Pu Dianjun...

And at the beginning of the Baolu Movement, when Pu Dianjun invited Yan Guang to serve as the vice president of the Baolu Comrades Association and was refused, he used to feel that Yan Guang didn't know how to lift, but now people just raise their hands and let the constitutionalists who have been operating for nearly 10 years disappear, and the life experience is really unpredictable...

Just when Pu Dianjun became more and more irritable the more he thought about it, a breeze blowing in from the window at this time calmed him down a little.

"It's also the root of this matter, as long as I think of it, I feel feverish..."With a wry smile, Pu Dianjun got up and opened the window wider, and let more wind blow on his body, blowing away those unbearable hot feelings.

However, just as Pu Dianjun was enjoying the breeze comfortably, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office.

"Minister Pu, are you there?"

"It's Xiao Zhang? What's up? Come in first! ”

With permission, a young man named Xiao Zhang walked in.

Xiao Zhang's original name was Zhang Jiayi, and he was an entourage who had been staying by Pu Dianjun's side before the Baolu Comrades Association, and when the Baolu Movement ended and the Sichuan Military and Political Axe was established, Pu Dianjun, who became the Minister of the Interior, kept him by his side as an assistant. When Pu Dianjun went to Nanjing 2 months ago, he took Zhang Jiayi with him.

"What's that?" Opening the window completely, Pu Dianjun said to Zhang Jiayi.

Zhang Jiayi can be regarded as having followed Pu Dianjun for many years, so his attitude is somewhat casual.

"Just now there was a call from the Governor's Office, saying that the minister was going to come over immediately."

Hearing that it was from the Governor's Mansion, Pu Dianjun frowned. "A call from the Governor's Office? Is it the Governor's? ”

"That's right..."

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that the governor asked the minister to hurry up, I have something to tell you..."

"So..."

Nodding, Pu Dianjun walked out of the office as soon as he lifted his hem.

In the current Sichuan military and political axe, the dress of the important members of the political axe is mainly divided into three factions, such as the M32-style military uniforms worn by generals such as Wang Yaowu, Feng Nan, and Zhu Qinglan, as well as the suits worn by Song Dinghan, Wen Jing and others, as well as the robes and horse coats that are preferred by old-school people such as Pu Dianjun.

At the moment, Pu Dianjun is wearing a robe and a horse coat, so he doesn't need to sort out his collar and tie, just mention the hem and set off.

The Ministry of the Interior and the Governor's Office are not very far away, and although they are not next to each other, they are less than 10 minutes on foot. Although Pu Dianjun is an old-fashioned figure, he is not yet 40 years old after all, and he can only be regarded as a prime of life at most, so after walking out of the compound of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he walked directly to the Governor's Mansion with his feet.

"Minister Pu?"

Because Pu Dianjun came to the Governor's Mansion several times on foot, he was not too surprised to see Pu Dianjun walking over with his feet, and a group of guards guarding the door of the Governor's Mansion arrived.

"Just now the governor called, saying that he was looking for me." Saying that, Pu Dianjun handed over his documents.

After receiving the papers, one of the officers smiled apologetically. "Offended." Then the two guards stepped forward and began to search Pu Dianjun one after the other.

Because many people know about the spies in the Governor's Mansion, Pu Dianjun will not think that these are aimed at him, and when the security check is completed, after nodding to the officers and the guards who searched him, Pu Dianjun walked in the direction of the Governor's Office under the guidance of another guard.

As for Zhang Jiayi, as an assistant, he is not qualified to enter the Governor's Mansion, and Yan Guang did not want to see him by name, so Zhang Jiayi, who came with Pu Dianjun, could only stand at the door of the Governor's Mansion and chatted with a horseman at the door without a word.

As for Pu Dianjun, after being led through one corridor after another by the guards, he finally stopped in front of a more luxuriously decorated room.

"Governor, Minister Pu has arrived."

After seeing Pu Dianjun and the guards leading the way, a guard guarding the door knocked on the door and said.

"Bo Ying has arrived? Let him in. ”

With permission, the guards opened the door and motioned for Pu Dianjun to enter.

When Pu Dianjun entered the room, the guards closed the door and continued to stand in front of the door like a door god, and the guard in charge of guiding the way also returned to his post after completing his mission.

"Boying, are you here?" Looking at Pu Dianjun who walked in, Yan Guang, who got up from his seat, first opened the window behind him wider, and then pointed to the seat. "Sit down."

Nodding, Pu Dianjun looked up at Yan Guang and asked after sitting in his seat. "I wonder what the Governor called me for?" Although Yan Guang has always been good to him since Pu Dianjun returned from Nanjing, and his own rights have expanded a lot more than when he was suppressed, it is obviously impossible to say that Pu Dianjun has no feelings of resentment towards Yan Guang at all, after all, Yan Guang took advantage of the fact that when he went to Nanjing, he incorporated his constitutionalist faction without a sound, so when he saw Yan Guang, Pu Dianjun's attitude was somewhat cold.

As for Yan Guang?

Although Pu Dianjun's coldness was on his face, Yan Guang, who felt a little guilty, didn't take it to heart. After all, if you do that kind of thing yourself, you can't let the other party even vent your emotions.

So after ignoring the cold expression on Pu Dianjun's face, Yan Guang just smiled. "That's right, I came to you this time to tell you about the name change of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Hearing that this was such a thing, Pu Dianjun was somewhat surprised. "The name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been changed? Why haven't I heard of this? After all, Pu Dianjun had never heard anyone mention such a matter, and Yan Guang had never consulted with him, the Minister of the Interior.

"I decided on the fly."

Hearing that it was Yan Guang's temporary decision, the anger in Pu Dianjun's heart seemed to be a little stronger.

But just when Pu Dianjun wanted to speak out, Yan Guang spoke. "I think the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is somewhat inappropriate for your authority, so I'm going to change it to a more appropriate name..."

"Something more appropriate? What's the name? ”

"Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Ministry of Civil Affairs..."Although he was still a little annoyed by Yan Guang's behavior of making decisions without discussion, Pu Dianjun also had to admit that this name was indeed much more appropriate than the original Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After that, Yan Guang spent a lot of words, and finally persuaded Pu Dianjun, and when Pu Dianjun left the office, Yan Guang, whose throat was almost dry, sat directly on the office chair and kept pouring juice on himself.

"Whew, what a stubborn guy." I don't want to think that I have to change the name of someone, Yan Guang complained with a juice bottle.

Of course, the renaming of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not because of Yan Guangxian's pain, he just wanted to take advantage of the establishment of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Military Defense Bureau to establish a relatively secret department.

This department, of course, is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the true sense of the word.

Song Dinghan and Wang Yaowu, they have always felt that the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Military Defense Bureau are Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories?

This notion is wrong, because only the Ministry of the Interior is the eagle dog of the court in the true sense of the word.

Of course, you can also give them a funky name, like the Gestapo or the secret police...

In Yan Guang's view, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is his sharpest knife, but it is also the easiest to hurt himself.

And the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have some troubles, such as Song Dinghan and Wenjing, after all, if the establishment of the two bureaus of military intelligence and military defense is to spy on the enemy and guard against the enemy's spies, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the most naked for the inside, in this case Song Dinghan They will inevitably oppose it.

Therefore, at present, Yan Guang can only prepare in secret, taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of the Military Intelligence and Military Defense Bureaus...

"Alas, in fact, it is very difficult for me, after all, there are only more than 2 years left before the First World War, not to mention that it will take more than a year for reunification, and you want the people to support me 100% to participate in the First World War? This kind of thing is a luxury in itself. Placing his legs on the desk, Yan Guang said a very dark topic in a relaxed tone. So, I can only use the more realistic means of the secret police, but then again, after so many years, there are countless histories that have been changed by me, so will Song Jiaoren be killed by Sun Yuan and the others as in history? If they hadn't sent someone, wouldn't it have been up to me to send someone myself? ”
