After Li Kejing returned home, he mentioned to Li Keding that there was a strange woman named Liu Zhisi in the legal department, and told her deeds. Li Keding then took the school magazine, read her articles carefully, and saw that her comments on Yuan Shikai's proclamation of emperor were very satisfactory, and he also admired her insight. Thinking about the opportunity in the future, how to visit her, but I am afraid that Liu Zhisi will misunderstand, because all beautiful women will always be surrounded by attentive boys, and she will take the liberty to visit, she must have thought that she was here to offer her hospitality, but let her disdain, so it is equivalent to being bored with herself, it is better not to go, so she put it down.

The situation in Beijing became clearer and clearer, and Yuan Shikai's plan to become emperor did not go as smoothly as he thought, but instead attracted the opposition of many people, especially the voices of opposition in the south. Liu Yin has always opposed the imperial system, and during this time, people from the Preparatory Security Association often haunted the Liu family and lobbied Liu Yin to support the imperial system. Among them, the leader is Gu Jianyin, who worked with his grandfather, that is, Gu Luocheng's father, who relied on Yuan Shikai's support and often put pressure on Liu Yin openly and secretly. Liu Zhisi saw that his grandfather was over sixty years old, and he was still being swept away by people to do something against his will, and he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to share the burden for his grandfather, but he was too young and a woman to show his face. At this time, Akihito University hosted an American named Lu Nuzhuo, who hoped that the university would take the lead in organizing a group of students to solicit papers on the theme of "republic and monarchy," which he would then contact the newspaper to publish publicly. In line with the principle of freedom of thought, and in order to raise students' awareness of "freedom of thought", Akihito University has issued an announcement on the university to start calling for papers, allowing students to submit articles under pseudonyms, and promising to guarantee the innocence of those who speak of it.

Yanagi knew that Akihito University was run by the American Church, and since he promised that the sins he wanted to inflict on Akihito's students would not be imposed. So under the pseudonym 'Longquan', he wrote an article opposing the implementation of the imperial system. The article has a clear viewpoint, first of all, it refutes Yuan Shikai's constitutional adviser Lu Nuzhuo's argument that the quality of Chinese is low,-for-tat.

The article says: Chinese have always understood the people's #master, there is a tradition of respecting the will of the majority, and the recognition of the people's #lord has long penetrated into all corners of the people, such as: who comes first and who comes later, can be decided with rock-paper-scissors; The number of people who comes first and who comes last, can be decided with the palm of the hand; The decision of which of the many people comes first and who comes first can be put on hold for the time being, or it can be decided by a show of hands or a vote of the people. These seemingly simple ways are actually shining with wisdom. The road is simple, there is no mystery in the people + the Lord, let alone anything incomprehensible, not to mention that in the Chinese people, for thousands of years, everyone has elected village sages, and oral voting is also commonly used, all of which shows that the Chinese want to elect, can elect, and will elect. Secondly, she also explained that the reason why the current election is not good is precisely because the election operation cannot be carried out within the system, including the big flaws in the election process, and the fundamental reason is that the superior breaks the rules, but everyone has no way to take him. The cause of this endless cycle is nothing more than the power behind it, that is, the military has been interfering in political affairs from beginning to end. Therefore, in this case, whether it is a republic or a constitutional monarchy, its essence is military and political. In order to put an end to this kind of military administration, it is necessary to first ban the private army.

Liu Zhisi's effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade is obvious, and the school immediately posted it on the propaganda board after receiving the article written by 'Longquan'. Within a day, the author Long Quan's article caused a lot of discussion among everyone, and it also made those who were talented want to try their skills. Akihito University's open call for papers was met with a wave of freedom, and there were many enthusiasts: some discussed the separation of powers, some discussed the pros and cons of republicanism, some directly stated that the monarchy and constitution were not suitable for the current situation, some satirized the centralization of power by the president, some opposed the use of armed crusades, some agreed with the adoption of the monarchy, and some specifically praised the president.

Yanagi selected the best articles on various points of view and published them in the Akihito school magazine. This made Lu Nuzhuo feel a little headache, he thought that in such a country, such a school, after reading his "Republic-Peace and Monarchy", everyone would definitely support the monarchy-constitution, but now it seems that there are few supporters and most opponents. Lu Nuzhuo's plan was thwarted, and instead of thinking deeper into the root of the problem, he blamed the author with the pen name 'Dragon Spring'. He thinks that it is this person who leads everyone's thinking crookedly, which will make things backfire.

Lu Nuzhuo could not bear to show weakness, and wrote another article to refute Long Quan, hoping that through this article, the thoughts of his classmates at Akihito University would be guided into the scope of his views, and at the same time, he would also exert ideological influence on other universities and middle schools, so as to provide public opinion support for Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor. But Lu Nuzhuo made a low-level mistake, because his main point was that the quality of the Chinese was low, and he wanted to show that in China the monarchy must be chosen in order to be effective, so in his article, the main discussion was: 'How the Chinese break away from the civilized world, how they do not respect systems and rules, how they are ignorant, etc., and even pointed out that this is a stupid nation without reason, without thought, and without thinking, and that there must be a monarch in order for them to worship and have a common direction.

As soon as Lu Nuzhuo's article was posted, the whole school was in an uproar, which was a prejudice, contempt and insult against the Chinese, which made the Chinese students indignant. Liu Zhisi posted another article under the pen name Longquan, specifically refuting Lu Nuzhuo.

In the afternoon of the next day, Liu Zhisi saw two articles written by 'Longquan' and 'Juque', one on the left and the other on the right, which were prominently posted in the center of the propaganda column, so he carefully read the articles of 'Juque'. This article refuted Lu Nuzhuo with a wide open and closed heart, and he was secretly proud in his heart. Compared with the two, Longquan's article seems to be a razor with ease, and Juque's article is like an unstoppable long knife, which can be described as the sun and the moon; Longquan's view that 'China is suitable for republic-peace' and Juque's view that 'China is not suitable for imperialism' complement each other. Liu Zhisi couldn't help but read Juque's article carefully, and secretly admired Juque, only wondering who this person would be?

In the next few days, Longquan and Juque clung to Lu Nuzhuo, and whenever Lu Nuzhuo's article was posted, Longquan and Juque's article would inevitably appear on the propaganda board the next day. After a few rounds, Lu Nuzhuo not only aroused the disgust of all the students, but even Akihito's teachers, such as Feng Guoren, began to criticize him. And this is not surprising, who wants to listen to a man who is arrogant and accuses himself of being inferior in a Godly tone? As a result, some good deeds published the articles of Longquan and Juque and Lu Nuzhuo in the Beijing Herald one by one, and after three consecutive reports, public opinion began to ferment, and the voices criticizing Lu Nuzhuo and supporting Longquan and Juque became louder and louder, and articles refuting Lu Nuzhuo in various newspapers and periodicals began to flood the world.

Lunuzhuo lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and was a little annoyed, so he organized his men and horses to fight back. At this time, the Preparatory Security Council was no longer silent, because the turmoil caused by Lu Nuzhuo was getting bigger and bigger, which had affected their persuasion of the president, and began to exert pressure on Lu Nuzhuo, and Lu Nuzhuo had no choice but to stop speaking.

After more than ten days of controversy, the reputation of 'Longquan' and 'Juque' was greatly enhanced, and people collectively called them 'Demon Twin Swords', but no one knew the true face of Lushan of the two. This especially made the students of Akihito University curious, and they speculated about who the two were. However, the articles posted by Longquan and Juque on the propaganda board are all imitation Song style, which is difficult to identify by handwriting. However, Gu Luocheng, who had a slippery head, still found some clues. At noon that day, Gu Luocheng took the opportunity to have dinner with Liu Zhisi and quietly asked her: "Zhisi, do you know who Longquan and Juque are?" Liu Zhisi smiled and said, "Where do I know this, can you know?" ”

Gu Luocheng looked at Liu Zhisi mysteriously, as if he wanted to find something in her eyes, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't fool me, if you want me to guess, it must be you and Li Keding." I can still see some of the style of the two of you, although you are all covering up, it is impossible to completely hide it. ”

Liu Zhisi still showed her classic smile, unfazed, and said as usual: "I don't have that much ability." Li Keding you are talking about, who is this person? ”

Gu Luocheng didn't see any clues from Liu Zhisi's demeanor, and secretly said that Liu Zhisi is not easy to deceive, although you don't admit it, I also know that it's you, but Liu Zhisi doesn't know Li Keding, but he feels a little pity, so he said: "You don't know Li Keding yet?" Oh! It's no wonder that this person doesn't like to show his talents. He is from the economics department, and when I have the opportunity, I will introduce you to each other, and you can also take him over, he is definitely a good hand at writing articles. ”

Liu Zhisi loves talents the most, thinking that Gu Luocheng has already guessed that Longquan is me, it seems that he is not only a 'bag inquirer', but also has a very poisonous eyesight. Li Keding is a giant, he is indeed literary and insightful, I should get to know him as soon as possible, so I said: "I have a lot of things to do recently, and I will have a holiday soon, and when I come back after the New Year, let's make an appointment, you take Li Keding to the editorial room, and everyone will get to know him first." ”

Gu Luocheng made an omniscient gesture, and said with a proud face: "You should be able to accept two generals next year, in fact, Lu Wan's article is also very well written, she has submitted it, I don't know if you have any impression." ”

Liu Zhisi hadn't heard of Lu Wan, and he couldn't remember that Lu Wan had submitted a manuscript, so he asked, "Lu Wan?" Who is she? Which one is it written about? ”

Gu Luocheng is the most ostentatious person, listening to Liu Zhisi's question, he began to introduce his eyebrows: "Lu Wan, a beautiful woman in Hejian, is still in the preparatory department, and she is the one who once wrote about social ethics, and you praised her at that time, saying that the article has novel views and can conform to the changes of the times, which not only draws on the history of the development of Western ethics, but also tells the evolution of Chinese ethics." Being able to express it so clearly in 2,000 words is already a rare masterpiece. ”

Liu Zhisi smiled, and secretly said You are really worthy of inquiring, even the preparatory department knows it, but he praised him and said. "I remembered, it turned out to be the author, the pen name 'Magnolia', right! Do you know a lot of people? ”

Gu Luocheng explained: "It's not that I know many people, my sister is Lu Wan's sister-in-law, do you think I don't know her?" And let me tell you, Lu Wan is often with Li Kejing. ”

"Li Kejing, Li Keding." Liu Zhi asked thoughtfully, "They are brother and sister, right?" ”

"Yes, the Li family brothers and sisters and Lu Wan are both from Hejian." Gu Luocheng smiled and said, "It's just that Li Kejing and Lu Wan are still studying in the preparatory department, although they are two years older than you." ”

Liu Zhisi smiled indifferently, she didn't answer Gu Luocheng's topic, she didn't want to listen to the praise anymore.
