461. The enemy army is besieged by thousands of people
Zhang Bolie sneered: "Now that the constitution has not been formulated, how can the president be elected?" These people are so arrogant that they claim that they won't let me buy it until the president is elected. Zhang wants to see how they become fat in one bite! ”
Li Zhaofu said: "These people are neat and serious like a military army, and they are menacing, but we are afraid that the plotters are big, and we cannot easily ignore them." In my opinion, it's better to plan early! ”
Subsequently, Li Zhaofu organized some members of the New China Party to temporarily put forward a bill, and Wu Jinglian, the speaker of the public council, came forward to negotiate, hoping that the petition behavior of the citizens' group would not affect the normal work of the Congress, and would not try to impose his will on the Congress, still less blatantly violate the law. It's okay to protest if you want to, but don't shout, don't get in the way!
Wu Jinglian had no choice but to take Li Zhaofu, Situ Ying of the Civic Party, Zhang Yaozeng of the Kuomintang and others to the gate to negotiate with the group of people, but before they could speak, they were firmly surrounded by a group of strong men who were five big and three thick, and they rolled up their sleeves and arms one by one, their eyes were full of anger and murder, and they shouted loudly: "You and other parliamentarians are all voted for by the people of the whole country, and they should think about what the people think and what the people are anxious about." But why do they only know how to fight each other in Congress and not do anything serious? ”
This question smashed his head and face, which made Wu Jinglian stunned: "Why don't we do anything serious?" Isn't it a serious matter to discuss amending the Constitution? Let me tell you that the formulation of the constitution is related to the country's political system and people's livelihood and well-being, and it is the right thing among the right things! ”
The strong men shouted: "We don't understand the national political system and people's livelihood and well-being; All we know is that 'the snake does not walk without a head, and the goose does not fly without a head'! It's been almost a year since Congress was in session. A full-fledged President has not yet been elected, leaving the country's supreme head of state vacant. The Republic of China has not yet been recognized by the major powers of Europe and the United States. Instead of thinking about helping the country and serving the people, these legislators grind their tongues and fight in the Diet every day. ”
Wu Jinglian hurriedly explained: "Since the official convening of the National Assembly, there have been major events such as the assassination of former Senate Speaker Song Dunchu, the resignation of former Premier Cho Zhi-an, the formation of a cabinet by the current Prime Minister Sun Baixi, and the rebellion of the Southern Rebellion. Now we are talking about the chapter of the Great President in the Constitution. As soon as all the articles are passed, the president can be elected immediately. Please be calm! ”
The strong man at the head said coldly: "I know that you are discussing the chapter of "The Great President" in the Constitution!" However, the provisions of the chapter of "The Great President" are only a few dozen and the number of words is less than a thousand, and you have spent nearly a month without any results. All of us are members of the 'Civic League' and represent the wishes of the 40,000,000 people of the country, and we are here today in the hope that you will immediately formulate the relevant provisions and immediately elect a full president. Let's talk ugly things ahead, if you dare to push back. Today, you want to get out of this yard! ”
Wu Jinglian suddenly became a little anxious: "Formulating a constitution and electing a president are the most important affairs of the country. It's ridiculous for you to want to get results in one day! ”
The strong man at the head said: "If you find it difficult to formulate the chapter of "The Great President", you can first extract the articles on the presidential election and vote on it, and then elect the president!" But you have to remember. If you can't elect the president we expect today, we will never agree! ”
Wu Jinglian and the others wanted to say something, but they were pushed into the parliament by those strong men with laughter and scolding, and they were not given any chance to argue at all.
Entering the building, Wu Jinglian looked at the few people who were traveling with him on the left and right. Then he asked in a low voice: "Everyone has seen the situation outside, and you are all important people in your respective party." I don't know what to think? ”
Situ Ying didn't know where these people were coming from, so she hurriedly replied: "Speaker Shutang, with all due respect, the process of formulating the constitution and electing the president has indeed dragged on a bit, which has greatly disappointed the people in the country, so there is today's petition from the Civic League!" However, what the man said just now is also reasonable, we can first extract the provisions of the constitution on the presidential election and discuss and vote, and then immediately elect the president, which can comfort the hopes of the people of the whole country and relieve the siege of today's Congress. I don't know what Speaker Shu Tang thinks? ”
"What Zhong Shi said also makes sense," as the president of the Senate, Wu Jinglian naturally will not express his position easily. After understating Situ Ying, he asked the other two: "Bo Shen (Li Zhaofu), Rong Xi (Zhang Yaozeng), what do you think?" ”
The Kuomintang is now in decline, not only in the south by Sun and Yuan, but also in the Congress by Sun and Yuan's New China Party and Civic Party, and the right to speak is gradually lost, and Zhang Yaozeng has also become cautious. Seeing Wu Jinglian asking at this moment, he did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Zhaofu beside him.
"I don't agree with Brother Zhongshi's opinion." Li Zhaofu was also not polite, and expressed his opposition straight to the point: "As Speaker Tang said, the formulation of the constitution and the election of the president are a big matter, how can it be child's play!" If we agree today because of the coercion of the civic group, what will happen if they come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Don't we want to obey him in everything? So what's the use of Congress and members like me? Even if the citizens' groups do not come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, their actions will trigger other groups to follow suit. I am worried that if we agree to the invitation of the civic group today, the Senate and the House of Representatives will never be at peace in the future!
"As for the siege of the Congress, I don't think I need to care. Jingshi is the first good district, and the National Assembly is the place where the country is looking out, and it has always been heavily guarded, how can these young people be allowed to make trouble and do whatever they want? What's more, at this moment, President Yuan Da and Premier Sun are both in Beijing, and once they learn that the National Assembly is besieged, they will inevitably send troops to rescue them. Destroying some chaotic people with the country's dignified and upright soldiers is as easy as Tang Woxue. We just need to wait for a moment, so why bend to these scoundrels? ”
"What do you mean?" Wu Jinglian asked again.
Zhang Yaozeng replied ambiguously: "The situation is unclear now, why don't we wait and see how things develop?" ”
"It's fine. Then wait and see! Wu Jinglian finally clapped his head.
After returning to the venue, the discussion continued on the "Great President" article of the Constitution. However, the situation outside is unknown. Everyone was a little absent-minded, and the debate was also weak, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was obviously not as warm as before, and there were even cold spots several times. Seeing that it was noon, the dense crowd of petitioners outside still did not disperse, but blocked the courtyard gate tightly, and it was difficult to fly even if they planted their wings.
Normally, when it is time for the noon recess, everyone will take the bus back to the party headquarters for lunch and lunch break. Or call friends to a famous restaurant nearby for a few drinks, but after Wu Jinglian announced the adjournment today, most of the people sat still in the venue, waiting for others to go out to explore the way.
Sure enough, a small number of parliamentarians felt that they had a deep background and could have no fear, or they were the pathfinders sent by the major parties, and walked out of the venue with their briefcases in their hands under the gaze of everyone. Who knew that these councillors had just walked to the gate of the house. They were firmly dragged by the people of the "Civic League", and at least they scolded and scolded them, and at worst they were full of old fists, beating them to the point that they were holding their heads and running away, and fled back to the venue in embarrassment. Seeing their colleagues fleeing back in embarrassment, the legislators who remained at the venue couldn't help laughing. After laughing, I realized that I was also a member of the siege. At the same time, they all closed their mouths.
Don't look at the parliamentarians who talk endlessly in the parliament on weekdays, but now they are really showing up to the soldiers-there is no reason, and they can only sit in the poor city relatively silently. Some councillors were so hungry that they couldn't eat breakfast because they were so hungry that they could only drink tea to quench their hunger. After drinking a few cups, I found that there was even a shortage of tea, and I couldn't help but start scolding my mother. There are also some lawmakers who smoke big cigarettes. At this time, he was addicted to cigarettes but had nowhere to look for something addictive, yawning at the venue, snot was not snot, tears were not tears, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and beat his chest, which became the laughing stock of the surrounding parliamentarians.
The New China Party legislators were somewhat glad that they had a sumptuous breakfast today, but sitting in the middle of the meeting hall was not the solution, and under the greeting of Li Zhaofu, Zhang Bolie, and others, everyone came to the New China Party lounge on the second floor. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Yang Du, Yang Yongtai, Chen Xunen and several others sitting in the room for a long time, Li Zhaofu couldn't help but be surprised: "Secretary General Huizi, Chief Changqing, when did you arrive?" Can the people outside let you in? ”
Yang Du shook the folding fan and replied with a smile: "Sun Baixi heard earlier today that someone had gathered soldiers and hooligans to surround the council, and hurriedly ordered Yang to prepare some food and water for your unexpected needs, so Yang rushed over with Changqing, Yan and them. As for those people outside, they only let us in and not let them out, and they didn't stop us too much. ”
Only then did Li Zhaofu see that there were a number of wooden barrels and lotus leaf bags in the corner of the lounge, thinking that it was the food and drinking water sent by Yang Du, and he was suddenly grateful in his heart: "Chairman Baixi is really thoughtful, and he cares for us, and Li is grateful!" ”
Zhang Bolie was a little curious: "But Secretary General Huizi, how did you transport these meals and drinking water?" Could it be that the rioters outside have no taboos about what comes in? ”
Yang Du said: "How is it possible! Since they had made up their minds about the siege, how could they allow food and water to come in? But fortunately, our brother and brother have a clever plan to hide from the world! ”
"Oh?"
Chen Xunen waved his hand again and again and said: "Mr. Huizi praised it falsely, that's not a clever plan!" I just put the food in the trunk of the car and pretend to be there to pick people up. Where have those people outside seen any cars? Naturally, I didn't know what could be put in the trunk, so I easily transported it in. In fact, these meals were unknowingly brought in in the cars of several councillors this morning, and at that time the outside was not yet surrounded by Cao Kun's Third Division, so it was naturally a breeze.
Seeing that the lunch had been settled and that "reinforcements" had come in, the members of the New China Party were suddenly in high spirits, if Yang Du hadn't asked them to keep a low profile in advance and not show it for the time being, it is estimated that they would have been cheering and laughing loudly by now. Li Zhaofu did not rush over to eat, but sat next to Yang Du and asked casually: "Mr. Huizi, did Chairman Baixi say how he plans to relieve the siege of the Congress?" ”
Yang Du looked at him deeply, and then replied softly: "Isn't it easy to break the siege?" Baixi has already made a careful plan, so you can rest assured! In fact, he was secretly thinking in his heart:
At this moment, Sun Baixi should have already given orders in Datong, right? (To be continued.)
