Dr. Schulman, US Ambassador to China, Sir Laurenson, German Ambassador to China in Weimar, Sir Maclay, British Ambassador to China, French Ambassador to China, Philip Vo, Japanese Ambassador to China, Isaburo Yoshida, Ambassador of the Soviet Russian Empire to China, Samitrovsky, and ambassadors to China from 12 other countries went to the State Department to inquire about the matter with Premier Tang Shaoyi and whether it would affect China's exchanges with other countries.

Tang Shaoyi made it clear to everyone that this incident would have no impact on China's negotiations with the rest of the world, and would never threaten any country.

However, the British ambassador to China, Sir Maclay, asked how soon China would run for a new president after the resignation of the president, especially after China's two vice-presidents had already made it clear that they would not run.

Tang Shaoyi said: "The Chinese government is extremely stable, don't worry, your dealings with your countries and your country are as good as ever. As for when to re-elect, it will be up to Congress to decide, not just me. Rest assured, China is about to elect a new president, and China will soon be restored. ”

"That's for the best." Sir Maclay asked, "So what does the new president think of the concessions in China?" ”

Tang Shaoyi glanced at his hands and said, "The concession issue is left to the new president to solve." ”

Subsequently, Wang Zhaoming was investigated by the Ministry of the Interior, and at the same time, the State Council quietly removed Wang Zhaoming from the post of vice minister of industry and commerce, and then Dai Chuanxian and Shao Lifu also resigned from the posts of chief minister of agriculture and forestry and vice minister of agriculture and forestry, but Zhang Jingjiang, chief minister of industry and commerce, and Lin Sen, chief minister of people's livelihood. Deputy Minister of Minsheng Yu Youren did not resign, and still held a government office, but he was insulted by the KMT. Sun Liwen thought that after his resignation, others would follow closely and resign one after another. But he didn't want the Kuomintang to split as well, and the right wing of the Kuomintang led by Zhang Jingjiang chose to continue to support Tang Shaoyi's government, and he could only sigh. After tidying up, he moved out of the presidential palace, took his family and subordinates, and returned to Guangzhou to recuperate.

After Sun Liwen announced the Shimono telegram, the Diet reacted quickly. The four speakers of the National Assembly immediately convened an emergency meeting of the speakers to discuss and resolve the matter. As a result of the resignation of the President, the highest organ of state power is in fact the National Assembly. It can even be said that the person with the highest power at this time is Shi Shaoyang, the speaker of the Senate. Shi Shaoyang, a former showman from Qingzhi County, can be an official, a man, and has means. But he did not think that he could handle the heavy responsibilities of a country. The priority now is to hold urgent consultations on whether to accept Sun Liwen's resignation request and to run for the new president. Shi Shaoyang served as the moderator of the meeting.

Liu Enge, speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "It is very important for the country to be stable, and to make it stable, we need a person with courage, ability, and reputation to serve as president." ”

Liang Qichao, vice chairman of the House of Representatives, said in his heart, you almost said Wang Maoru directly, but he is a soldier, how can he be a big president, so wouldn't China become a military state? So he stood up. "In accordance with the law, the president resigns. The Vice President must take over on an interim basis, and if the Vice President refuses, the Congress is re-elected. ”

"yes, that's what I mean." Shi Shaoyang, the speaker of the Senate, said with a smile, and uncharacteristically supported Liang Qichao, which made Liang Qichao feel furious, what does this mean? There must be some secrets in his arms. Sure enough, Shi Shaoyang said: "Campaign, naturally you want to campaign, but who will campaign?" I don't want to be president, Brother Limen, are you going to run for president? Liu Enge laughed and said How can I be so famous, Shi Shaoyang asked again: "Third brother, do you want to be the president?" I can recommend you to run for election. Wu Zhaolin, vice chairman of the Senate, hurriedly shook his head and said: "Shame me, shame me, shame me, I haven't made an inch, how can I be the president?" Then Shi Shaoyang looked at Liang Qichao with a smile and said: "Brother Zhuoru, you are a great talent at home, it is better for you to ......"

Liang Qichao understood it, and these three people worked together to force themselves to say the name, so he could only sigh and say, "Don't be joking, Brother Mu Chen." What good do you have? ”

"Brother Zhuo Ru, you were recognized as a famous person in the world at home and abroad when you were in the previous dynasty, and you are an authority on China's law and people's livelihood, who do you think can take on this important task and lead China's rejuvenation? Don't be modest, you look at people most accurately, and the person you recommend should definitely be the person who is admired by China. Shi Shaoyang immediately said, and Liu Enge and Wu Zhaolin on the side also immediately said that Brother Zhuo Ru couldn't find that person, and I couldn't find Yunyun.

Liang Qichao smiled bitterly, you are so calculating, let me say this matter, okay, good, I will do what you want, and said: "I see, the generalissimo of Shangwu, Wang Maoru should be here." ”

Shi Shaoyang touched his chin and smacked his lips and said, "Brother Zhuo Ru's opinion is not impossible. ”

"Not feasible, not feasible." Liu Enge said, "Even though Generalissimo Shangwu can revive China, he is a soldier, can he be president?" Not feasible, not feasible. ”

Wu Zhaolin said: "How are the soldiers? Brother Limen looks down on our soldiers? Our servicemen are not patriotic? Don't you forget, then the founding president of the United States, Washington, was a soldier? Did Washington betray the country? Are you accusing Wang Maoru of betraying the country? Wang Maoru made China's land area the largest in China's history, even more than the Qing Dynasty's Kangqian era, did he sell the country to a great empire? ”

Liu Enge immediately sighed: "Yes, when you say that, it seems that soldiers are no worse than politicians." ”

Liang Qichao was so angry that he choked up, the three of you sang and harmonized, and you said all the good and bad things, so you sat coldly on the side with your shoulders and watched the big show. Liang Qichao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, what do you mean by listening to me, you are too bad......

Subsequently, the four speakers of the State Council jointly proposed in the National Assembly that Wang Maoru, minister of national defense, be the president, and then Shi Shaoyang was in the Senate and Liu Enge held a referendum in the House of Representatives, and the congressmen voted more than 80 percent to support Wang Maoru's decision to serve as interim president. The news immediately spread through the newspapers, and the people had mixed feelings when they saw it. It's democratic, it's republican, but isn't the country still in charge of those who are in charge?

However, Wang Maoru once again rejected the post of president, which surprised everyone.

Yang Du and the others were puzzled, but then they thought of Song Taizu Chen Qiao's mutiny and the yellow robe and repeatedly pushed back, so they could understand Wang Maoru's approach. In order to prevent Yang Du from jumping up and down, Wang Maoru went north to Changchun City to serve as the mayor of Changchun.

After listening to his speech, Wang Maoru smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huizi, are you in a hurry if I don't become president?" ”

"Nature."

"Are others in a hurry?" Wang Maoru asked with a smile.

"Someone else?" Yang Du was puzzled and asked, "Who?" ”

"People." Wang Maoru said pointedly, "The people are not in a hurry now, I need to let the people know that it will not work without me." ”

The next day, in addition to discussing Sun Liwen's resignation as president, the newspaper also discussed who would be the next president, whether to choose a temporary president, or to formally hold a national election to elect a new president. Judging from the candidates of the last presidential election, there are Sun Liwen of the People's Party, Meng Enyuan of the Baath Party, Xu Shichang of the Progressive Party, Liu Enze of the Ma Party, Ms. Zhou Kailing, a non-partisan feminist, and Cao Kun, who bribed the election. Now, with the exception of Liu Enze, the rest of the people seem to be either ineligible or have explicitly stated that they will not run, while the Marne Party is a minority party in China, especially because of its inextricable ties with Soviet Russia, and many people do not support them in China under the rise of nationalism.

So who else is qualified to be China's president now, apart from the previous presidential candidate? There is no doubt that the generalissimo of the martial arts. (To be continued......)
