The Constitutional Party was very happy with what had happened to the Republican Party, and they did their best to win over people and start a counterattack against the Republican Party, and they criticized the Kuomintang's harm to the peasants in the newspapers, saying that it was an atrocity, and demanded that the Republican Party be dissolved.

Even Tao Chengzhang and others of the Liberation Society openly criticized the actions of the Republican Party, and they began to formally support the imperial system, believing that since the imperial system is now the will of the people, even a constitutional monarchy is better than the so-called democracy.

After Song Jiaoren and others saw that the newspaper had no effect, they immediately convened a meeting to discuss how to solve these matters, which was already related to the life and death of the Republic of China Party.

In the headquarters of the Republic of China in Nanjing, Song Jiaoren and others gathered again, but this time Cai Yuanpei did not come, because he had something to do in Beijing and couldn't get out.

"As you know about the recent events, it is now a time for our party to live and die, and we must make our own decision, whether to continue or stop now.

I can't imagine that the peasant masses didn't appreciate our affection, and still went against us, and finally came up with such a thing, what happened to the guns of the party members? Song Jiaoren slammed on the table with the newspapers depicting the shooting of peasants by members of the Republic of China.

Jiang Yiwu stood up and said with a guilty face: "The matter of party members bringing guns was decided by me and Song Qing, this is to protect the safety of party members, and we are only assigned to some party members, and the rest should be obtained by themselves."

You also know that if you march, you will likely be secretly attacked by other opposition forces, and we don't have many party members in the first place, and if we get hurt, no one will join our party in the future.

It is the fault of both of us that such a thing happened, and now we formally apologize to everyone present for causing such a severe consequence to the party, and we accept the party's punishment. ”

After Jiang Yiwu finished speaking, Li Yuanhong also stood up and bowed deeply to everyone present, and then spoke: "This is indeed my fault, so please punish us." ”

"Your intentions are good, but today's incident can also be said to be caused by you, so we will punish you within the party later. Now we have to deal with the peasants' affairs, and after this incident we have lost the support of the peasants, and we have also aroused the resentment of the peasants, which has had a very great impact on the party.

According to the current situation, the imperial system can no longer be stopped, the number of peasants is too large, and no force other than the government can oppose the peasants of the whole country, so we should stop, otherwise we will face the crisis of dissolution. Song Jiaoren said with a sad face.

"How can this be, is it in vain that everything we have done before? Why can't democracy defeat the imperial system, and what would it be like without an emperor? If you go against the grain, you will be abandoned by the world even if you want it. Tao Chengzhang roared hoarsely.

Liao Zhongkai stood up and said: "Our situation is very strict, and if we are not careful, we will perish, and the party we have built up with great difficulty must not perish like this." Let's compromise, now we can't afford to delay, don't you know the attitude of the government, this is a sign of the implementation of the imperial system, it's ridiculous that we are even blocking the car with our mantis arms, give up. For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to preserve the strength for future counterattacks, otherwise there will really be nothing. ”

"No, we have to fight back, we still have the democrats in the army who are not used, and now it's time for them to contribute. As long as we can control the army to encircle Zhongnanhai, and then force the chairman to implement democracy, we can resist the imperial system. Jiang Yiwu, who lost his mind, said loudly.

Song Jiaoren slapped the table suddenly, "Enough is enough, Bokui, now that you have failed, are you trying to push the party to perdition?" Is Zhongnanhai so easy to surround, do you think there will be a hiding place for our party in the future, and the saliva of the people of the whole country can drown us.

Don't force the government to attack the democrats, the army is not something we can mobilize if we want to, so give up this idea. Let's let them continue to develop in the Wehrmacht, only the greater their ranks, the more useful they will be for us in the future......"

Suddenly, a man broke through the door, and the man said breathlessly: "Party leader, Beijing's telegram... Just... Just... The army conducted a campaign against our people in the army ... Arrested, a large number of democratic soldiers were investigated ......"

After hearing this, everyone present stood up in shock, this is really a thunderbolt, the government is already about to attack them, even the soldiers have been arrested.

"What the hell is going on, the government shouldn't have exposed the affairs of the army so quickly, is there something wrong?" Song Jiaoren asked urgently.

The relieved man was very angry and said: "It is some of our party members in the army who have defected, and they have already defected after seeing the news that the peasants have been shot." They personally reported to the government's intelligence department that our people were going to rebel and launch a riot to surround Zhongnanhai, and when he knew about it, he personally gave the order for his arrest, and even the Constitutional Party was purged. Our forces in the army have been uprooted, and all the soldiers who have taken refuge in us have been purged. ”

Song Jiaoren almost vomited blood in anger after hearing this, even the last bit of strength was cleaned up, the Republic of China Party had no choice at this time, once the news of the rebellion was exposed, they would become sinners.

And Jiang Yiwu sat down on the ground after hearing this, his face was pale and weak, as if his whole person had been evacuated, he looked at the ceiling blankly and muttered: "How can this be, how can this be, I really damn it." ”

Song Jiaoren and the others knew what was going on when they looked at Jiang Yiwu like this, they were very angry in their hearts now, and there was no room for recovery now.

"What we can do now is to immediately agree with the imperial system, and hope that the chairman can just let us go, and now we can only resign ourselves to fate." Song Jiaoren said with blank eyes.

At this time, Liao Zhongkai said to Song Jiaoren: "We still have a chance, hurry up and let Heqing go and intercede with General Cai and Chief of General Staff Chiang, only they can save us." ”

After hearing this, Song Jiaoren immediately regained his spirits, and he had met with both of them in Japan, and he had also discussed the feasibility of democracy in China, so he was very impressed.

"Yes, I went to the newspaper to declare my support for the imperial system, and you went to contact Heqing, and now it depends on your efforts." And when he had said that, he went out, and all the people went to their own businesses.

On the same day, Song Jiaoren apologized again to the injured peasants in the newspaper, and publicly stated that the Republic of China Party respected the choice of the people of the whole country, whether it was an imperial system or a democratic system, and the Republic of China Party would accept it, and also euphemistically recognized Qin Yu's merits, if the imperial system only Qin Yu could become the emperor.

After Cai Yuanpei received the telegram, he knew the severity of the situation, and he immediately went to talk to Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen for a long time, and Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen both said that they would try their best to persuade Qin Yu's subordinates to be merciful.

Jiang Fangzhen and Cai Yi urgently went to meet Qin Yu, they didn't know the madness of the Republic of China Party before, no wonder Qin Yu would bypass them and directly issue an arrest order.

They met Qin Yu in Zhongnanhai as they wished, Qin Yu was drinking tea at this time, and when he saw the two of them coming, he brought them a cup of tea, which made the two of them very frightened.

"Tell me, what are you two doing when you two put down what you're doing?" Qin Yu picked up the teacup and tasted the tea gently.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Jiang Fangzhen said: "Chairman, is it really necessary to implement the imperial system, isn't it good now?" ”

"The imperial system is the fastest and most effective way to concentrate the power of the whole country, so that we can concentrate our resources and let China rise in a short period of time, I have made a decision, you don't have to persuade again."

Cai Yi thought for a while and said: "Chairman, we are not against the imperial system, but we should also give the people more democracy, and it is not what it used to be, so please think twice." ”

"Constitutional monarchy, there is democracy under the monarchy, you can rest assured that I will not cling to power, but now is not the time, when the country is on the right track, I will slowly delegate power, if I don't do it in the future, you can overthrow me at any time."

As for the Republic of China Party, I will let them go, and this military incident will be kept as a secret file of the government for the time being, and will be unraveled after a hundred years. But they can't get away with the punishment they deserve, so let them be prepared. ”

In fact, it's not that Qin Yu doesn't want to take this opportunity to kill the Republic of China Party in one fell swoop, but if there is a first Republic of China Party, there will be a second Republic of China Party, which cannot be solved according to the current situation. What's more, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there will still be party members, rather than this, it is better to let them go, let them be grateful to Dade, and there is also a monarchical party, if the Baath Party is dominant, it will be easy to cause a lot of trouble.

Qin Yu wants to implement a constitutional monarchy, but under the emperor and then wants to carry out a multi-party election system like the United Kingdom, even so, the Baath Party will occupy an absolute advantage for a long time, and these times are enough time for him to transform China into a strong country.

The next day, the Chinese government officially announced its decision to respect the choice of the people and implement a constitutional monarchy, and Chairman Qin would become emperor, and soon after the official establishment of the state, the exact date of which was not determined. At the same time, he also ordered the Republic of China Party to rectify the bad influence caused by the Republic of China Party, and announced that the Republic of China Party would not participate in political affairs for 10 years.

It also informed all political parties throughout the country to submit the list of party members to the government for filing, and that in the future, all parties that want to establish a party must be reported and approved by the government.
