Late that night, Sun Yuanqi received the information that Liang Shiyi had been killed, and his first reaction was that Yuan Shikai wanted to take Liang Shiyi's top bag!

In other words, Liang Shiyi is indeed a good candidate for the top bag. Visit to download TXT//

As the secretary general of the Great Presidential Office, he is not only as simple as acting as the chief of staff, but also Yuan Shikai's spokesman to the outside world, known as the "second president" and "little president", and it is not difficult for him to mobilize the army at all, and the siege of the National Assembly and the attack on the headquarters of the New China Party can also be interpreted as competing with Sun Yuanqi for the post of prime minister of the cabinet.

Yuan Shikai can completely put all the fault on Liang Shiyi's head, and then stage a righteous killing drama of "tears and horses" to save the image that has been infamous and pointed out by thousands of people. Although this move may not be able to completely block the mouth of the world, it is more than enough to barely maintain the dignity of the president.

However, what Sun Yuanqi never expected was that the murderer was actually Yuan Keding, and he was charged with "colluding with foreign thieves and intending to cause chaos", and Liang Shiyi's benefactor Yuan Shikai was lying on the sickbed at this time. Seeing that Yuan Keding actually destroyed the Great Wall like this, Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but sigh: It's really a good death!

However, Yuan Keding, the party, was unaware of it, and there was a tendency to carry out the death to the end! After getting rid of Liang Shiyi, the Great Presidential Palace became Huaguo Mountain, and he was the monkey without a tail, and the "Great Presidential Seal" that was originally treasured by Yuan Shikai and Liang Shiyi was also turned out by him, and it was upright and stamped on the "Sino-Japanese Republic of China Three-Year (1905) Treaty". This treaty was signed secretly by China and Japan overnight, and former Premier Zhao Bingjun served as the person in charge of the matter. The representative Yuan Shikai signed the treaty, and the Japanese representative was Entaro Yamasha, the minister to China. There are only a few people in the whole country who know about this.

Zhao Bingjun and Yuan Keding thought they were seamless. However, Sun Yuanqi was able to learn in advance of the top-secret news of the siege of the National Assembly and the attack on the headquarters of the New China Party, so how could such a major event as the signing of a traitorous treaty escape the eyes and ears of the New China Party? Basically, when the treaty was just drafted, Sun Yuanqi already knew the basic contents; While the ink was still drying on the signing of the treaty, the intelligence agencies had already obtained photographic plates bearing the "Seal of the President" and the "Seal of the Imperial Japanese Legation in China." It is conceivable that in one day, at most, two days, the image of this treaty will appear on the front page of newspapers large and small in Shanghai!

At the moment, Yuan Keding didn't know anything about it, after executing Liang Shiyi and signing the treaty. His whole body was in an inexplicable restlessness and excitement, like an involuntary tremor after smoking opium, as if his hair was trembling and jumping. Especially when his former father's cronies Duan Qirui, Ruan Zhongshu, Yang Shiqi, Cao Kun and others saw that they were groveling and did not dare to look at him directly, which made him even more happy.

He also changed his previous humility and courtesy, and began to learn from his father Yuan Shikai's faction to give orders to Duan Qirui, Ruan Zhongshu and others, such as instructing Duan Qirui to urge Zhang Hongkui's troops to take the initiative to attack Jingshi University, instead of passively defending and waiting for death; Another example is to order Ruan Zhongshu to take over the task of commanding the troops to surround the Congress from Liang Shiyi. If necessary, you can even kill a few people to stand up for power, so that those parliamentarians who don't know what to do can see for a long time!

Perhaps it was Liang Shiyi's head that gave Nguyen Trung Shu a lesson from the past, and he immediately strengthened the control of the entry and exit of the National Assembly after taking over the army, ordering the National Assembly to elect a president before dawn, otherwise he would bear the consequences. Although the parliamentarians noticed that the atmosphere was slightly different from before, it had undergone a dramatic change during the day. Everyone's psychological quality has improved significantly, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude towards this kind of language threat.

Seeing that the parliamentarians had been indifferent, Nguyen Trung Shu couldn't help but be furious. He knew that Yuan Keding was young, arrogant, irritable, and irritable, and he had just taken power and was eager to establish his authority, if he let him down. It is very likely to repeat the mistakes of Liang Shiyi! And he has already killed the secretary general of a big presidential office, and he definitely doesn't mind killing another deputy secretary general of a big presidential office. On the multiple-choice question of either the parliamentarians die or lose their heads. Ruan Zhongshu didn't hesitate for long.

In the darkest hour before dawn, when all the parliamentarians were asleep in the lounges of their respective parties, a mob armed with sticks and guns suddenly and violently kicked open the door, fired several shots into the air, and shouted: "All parliamentarians gather at the meeting hall and immediately hold the presidential election, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

The gunfire in the dark night was extremely harsh, and all the councillors were shocked, and their sleepiness suddenly disappeared into the clouds. Everyone glanced at each other, understood the truth that "heroes don't suffer immediate losses", and began to slowly dress and get up, while discussing countermeasures in private with each other. Yang Du had realized that the development of the matter was out of control, and immediately whispered: "Now that the situation is unknown, don't talk casually, and don't resist too much." If they ask for the election of the president, then the vote is to vote, and it is a big deal that you will vote for Li Huangpi and Sun Yat-sen a few more votes, so that they will be happy. Our goal is to delay as long as possible until tomorrow by noon, when we believe that the situation will turn for the better! ”

Nearly 800 members of the Senate and House of Representatives were driven to the meeting hall like cattle by this mob, and everyone looked at each other with a little trepidation and insecurity, and was speechless. At this time, the middle-aged man in the lead said loudly: "I'm really sorry to disturb the good dreams of the councilors!" It's just that now there is a huge turmoil at home, and there are foreign powers watching on it, and the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, but the position of the president has been vacant for a long time, and our citizen representatives are very worried, so they have to make this decision and go to the National Assembly to petition the members of the parliament, hoping that everyone will elect the president as soon as possible, and comfort the people!

"As long as you elect the president of your heart, you can regain your freedom, and return to your home to enjoy the food and mattress in peace, is it far better than being sinned in the hall? At that time, our citizens' representatives will also come to your house to plead guilty, and ask the councillors to forgive me for the offense! If you don't have any objections, let's start voting according to the process! ”

The New China Party congressmen had already received Yang Du's warning before going out, and they were silent at the moment. However, some people on the Kuomintang side rose up angrily and rebuked them with a fierce voice: "Do you say that you are a citizen representative of the citizens?" What is the evidence? How can you say that you can represent the will of 40,000,000 people? And what is the evidence? According to the law, we, the parliamentarians, are the real representatives of the citizens and can represent the will of the 40,000,000 people! ”

"That's right!" Another Kuomintang congressman next to him also stood up and denounced, "Don't you want to elect the president? Since you claim to be the representative of the citizens and represent the will of 40,000,000 people, you are directly electing the president, so why bother us at four or five o'clock in the morning? Since you know that you have no right to elect the president on behalf of the people, then obediently disperse and wait for our news! What is the reason for besieging Congress and forcing elections now? ”

The middle-aged man walked up to them and smiled coldly: "Are you two finished?" So what are the last words? ”

"Huh?" The second MP to speak could not help but be stunned.

The first member to speak was round-eyed: "What do you want to do?" Do you know about the House Act? Let me tell you that members of both houses are not to be arrested or placed under surveillance except for active offenders except with the permission of their respective houses or congressional committees! Do you still want to break the law in front of everyone? ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "This is your last words?" Then he said to the thug Nunu behind him: "Since they are finished, send them on their way!" The thug behind him immediately took out a few handfuls from his arms and shot them at the two councillors. I saw blood splattered all over their bodies, and they fell to their seats with a few screams, obviously too dead to die. The parliamentarians screamed in surprise the moment the shots were fired, but the room quickly fell silent.

The middle-aged man seemed to be satisfied with this effect, and after looking around, he asked loudly, "Who else has objections now?" ”

There was no sound in the huge hall.

"Since there are no objections, let's start voting!"

"Wu still has a question!" At this moment, a voice came from the rostrum.

At this time, there are still people who are not afraid of death? The middle-aged man Huo Ran turned around.

Speaker Wu Jinglian hurriedly explained: "When the Senate and the House of Representatives discussed the formulation of the Constitution, the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives had a lot of differences on the chapter of the "President", including the issue of the number of votes in the presidential election. Some advocate the Provisional Statute, whereby more than three-quarters of the total number of members present and two-thirds of the total number of votes cast is elected; Some people feel that the requirement for the attendance of more than three-quarters of the total number of voters is too harsh, and advocate that the election should be made if more than two-thirds of the total number of electors are present and three-fourths of the votes are full. This question is still unresolved, so I am afraid that your Excellency's election will be—"

The middle-aged man replied impatiently: "Then vote on this issue now!" I don't care which plan you adopt, in short, you must elect a president before dawn, otherwise you will recognize your parliamentarians, and the masturbation in your hands will not recognize who your Excellency is! ”

At the suggestion of the Civic Party MPs, the latter option was quickly adopted, and then voting in the presidential election began. Because they hadn't played the presidential election before, everyone was not familiar with the process, and the matter was in a hurry, and even the necessary ballot papers, ballot boxes and other tools had to be prepared temporarily, so despite the repeated urging of the middle-aged man, the results of the first round of voting were not counted until more than nine o'clock in the morning.

I don't know whether the Kuomintang legislators deliberately opposed each other with resentment, or whether the New China Party legislators followed Yang Du's instructions, plus it was a secret ballot, and the results of the first round of voting can be described as varied, such as the incumbent speaker Wu Jinglian got 56 votes, the exiled Sun Yat-sen got 45 votes, Li Yuanhong, who was imprisoned in Yingtai, got 102 votes, and the rest got a few votes or a dozen votes. The most interesting thing is that Sun Yuanqi, the current prime minister, actually got 231 votes, which is almost the same as Yuan Shikai's 259 votes! (To be continued.)
