Ye Shuangqi stayed in Yingtai to recuperate from his injuries, Yuan Keding, Yang Du, and Yang Naixiong all came to visit, and Yuan Keding was even more three times a day, and he was very attentive. This made it difficult for Jiu Ling, which could have allowed Ye Shuangqi to heal immediately, but then it would have missed in front of everyone, so he had to treat it at night to let the wound heal slowly.

Seven days later, Ye Shuangqi had basically recovered, Yuan Keding came early in the morning, and when he saw Ye Shuangqi's vigorous appearance, he said happily: "Brother Ye, your injuries are healed!" Although Ye Shuangqi didn't like the father and son of the Yuan family, he was also a little moved when he saw him so thoughtful, and said: "Eldest son, you have been too troubled these days, originally you were so ......" I just wanted to say that your legs and feet were not good, and I was afraid of poking him in the sore spot, so I closed my mouth.

Yuan Keding already regarded Ye Shuangqi as a relative, and didn't care, and said: "You sacrificed your life to save my father's life, shouldn't I run a few times? Now that you are in good health, why don't you go out for a walk? My father has long wanted to see you." Ye Shuangqi was also bored, so he readily agreed.

The two came to the Purple Light Pavilion again, but this time they entered the pavilion. When Yuan Shikai saw Ye Shuangqi coming, he was overjoyed and said, "Shuangqi, how is the gunshot wound?" As he spoke, his expression was extremely concerned. Ye Shuangqi said: "President, don't worry, I'm almost fine." Yuan Shikai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Shuangqi, you came at the right time today, the distinguished guest will arrive in the morning, I want to entrust you with an important errand!"

Ye Shuangqi became curious and asked, "I don't know who your guest is?" Yuan Shikai said: "Mr. Wen!" Ye Shuangqi couldn't help but let out an "ah", thinking: Wouldn't it be good for Mr. Wen to come here and see him?

Yuan Shikai said as he delivered an official document to him, and said, "You take a look at this first!" Ye Shuangqi saw that he even showed himself the documents of national affairs, knowing that he already trusted him, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and when he took the document and looked at it, he couldn't help but feel a little big. The text in this document is in traditional Chinese, many of which he does not recognize. After reading it carefully, I had to roughly figure out what it meant.

It turned out that this was a telegram sent by Mr. Wen to Yuan Shikai, to the effect that after the founding of the Republic of China, there has been constant party contention between the north and the south, which is not good for the country, and Mr. Wen wants to personally come to Beijing to meet Yuan Shikai to discuss how to solve the problem of party contention, and also to talk about how to build the country and strengthen the army.

Yuan Shikai watched Ye Shuangqi read the document, and explained on the side: "I had a sudden shock that day, because I read two official letters, one was sent by Mr. Wen, and the other was sent by the Japanese ambassador. words, the heart disease is completely gone, and even the magic prescription is called, it turns out that he understands it as a compromise to deal with these two things.

Yuan Shikai continued: "The official letter sent by the Japanese ambassador nominally wants me to form an alliance with them, but in fact it is to let the Chinese destroy the country and exterminate the species, which is really unacceptable, but if it is not allowed, the strength of China and Japan is greatly different, and if a war breaks out, the shame of Jiawu will inevitably reappear! Ye Shuangqi couldn't help but be secretly shocked, thinking: What Yuan Shikai said is not Article 21, it seems that he is not ignoring the interests of the country, with the strength of the country, it is indeed impossible to compete with Japan at present, and it is also a strategy to make concessions but to protect the overall situation, so it seems that President Yuan has to re-understand it.

Yuan Shikai continued: "The official document sent by Mr. Wen is the one in your hand, although he said that he wants to reconcile the party struggle between the north and the south, but how difficult it is? I am even more afraid that he will bring the strength of the southern provinces to bargain with me, then the talks will inevitably be protracted, if I do not deal with it well, the war between the north and the south may start again, and at that time there will be strong enmity outside, and there will be war disasters inside, and China will be in danger! I have nothing to do, but according to your compromise prescription, I have a way, and I will also take a step forward for this Mr. Wen, family and everything will be prosperous, avoid internal strife, and enrich the country and strengthen the army is the top priority! Ye Shuangqi admired again, and thought: It seems that the president is not easy to do, especially in the current situation of internal and external troubles, it is not easy for Yuan Shikai to think of these methods.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuangqi asked: "President, Shuangqi and grass people, where can they share these state affairs? The president told me these things, aren't you afraid that I will leak the news?" Yuan Shikai laughed and said: "Shuangqi, you and I have only known each other for a few days, but you have shown me three times, the first time you gave me a good prescription, the second time you treated my welcome team, and the third time you even disregarded your life to block the bullet for me, you are my lucky star and savior, I only hate that God didn't send you early!" Nowadays, Yuan is shouldering national affairs, how can he not support it alone, and now he is entrusted with national affairs, Shuangqi should not refuse!" The implication is that Ye Shuangqi has been regarded as a henchman.

Ye Shuangqi couldn't help but be a little moved, and thought: This father and son of the Yuan family are extremely courteous to me, and I am really ashamed to miss my kindness so much. The first time, I was talking nonsense, ready to tease him, but he took it as a good prescription; the second time, I wanted to make him ugly, but I rescued the sick team member by human nature; the third time, it was even more nonsense to say that I sacrificed my life for death, obviously I was knocked out by Yuan Keding, and I accidentally hit and became Yuan Shikai's shield.

After a few thoughts, Ye Shuangqi's impression of Yuan Shikai has changed a lot, and his righteous heart has risen again, and he said: "I don't know what errand the president wants to entrust me?" Yuan Shikai said: "Mr. Wen will be here in a while, and when we meet, we need a confidential person to be responsible for recording the content of the conversation." I thought about it, Keding and Yang Du are not suitable, and I can't trust others, this candidate is best for you to bear. Ye Shuangqi was embarrassed and said: "President, I can't write well with this brush, I'm afraid I missed your big event." Yuan Keding said on the side: "You can also use a fountain pen!" It turned out that during the Republic of China, the fountain pen had begun to be used, and the fountain pen and brush stood side by side for many years, and finally the fountain pen replaced the brush to become the most important writing utensils today.

As soon as Ye Shuangqi heard that he had a fountain pen and could listen to the conversation between Yuan Shikai and Mr. Wen so closely, he immediately agreed to Yuan Shikai's assignment.

In front of the Ziguang Pavilion, the welcome team played noisy drums and marched neatly to accept the review of the two influential figures at the beginning of the Republic of China. Ye Shuangqi stood behind Yuan Shikai, looking at Mr. Wen with admiration, only to see that Mr. Wen was not very tall, but his figure was much more well-proportioned than Yuan Shikai, I saw that he was full of heaven, the earth pavilion was round, thick eyebrows, big ears and wheels, less than fifty years old, his spirit was extremely strong, he couldn't see the wind and dust from afar, and his demeanor and words revealed courage and perseverance. Ye Shuangqi secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being the father of the country!

After the ceremony, Wen Yuan and the others entered the Purple Light Pavilion. Yuan Shikai motioned for Yang Du and Yuan Keding to retreat, and said to Ye Shuangqi: "Shuangqi, you can make a record for us." Mr. Wen was surprised when he saw that Ye Shuangqi was young and was left by Yuan Shikai for confidential records. But thinking about it again, this Yang Du is Yuan Shikai's henchman, Yuan Ke must be his son, and the old Yuan was afraid that I would not be at ease, so he changed to this young one, and immediately smiled at Ye Shuangqi. Ye Shuangqi hurriedly returned a full smile, but he was respectful from the heart.

At this time, only Mr. Wen, Yuan Shikai, and Ye Shuangqi were left on the scene. After sitting down, Mr. Wen took the lead in speaking: "I have been friends with the president for a long time, I hate to see each other, I will finally get my wish today, and I have no regrets in this life!" Yuan Shikai also hurriedly said politely: "You have come for the democratic republic, you have traveled far and dust, and you have worked tirelessly, which shows your sincerity, and you are very grateful!" Yuan Shikai's words were cordial and seemed to have identity.

When Mr. Wen saw Yuan Shikai so polite, his mood also relaxed a lot, and said: "President, the country is newly established, the people's hearts are floating, and the heroes are rising, it is still a chaotic situation, you and I are based on the north and the south, and we should put the country first and the common people as our thoughts!"

When Yuan Shikai heard that Mr. Wen took the initiative to mention reconciliation, he was also happy in his heart, and said: "You are the leader of the revolution, which is for the country and the people, if you can persuade the people to stop the party struggle between the north and the south, it is really a blessing for the country and the people!" Mr. Wen said: "The president, it is not that our revolutionaries are deliberately causing trouble, and it has been rumored recently that the president wants to restore the imperial system, which is really something that the people do not want to see." Mr. Wen went straight to the point, Yuan Shikai's heart sank, but he had been in the officialdom for a long time, although he was panicked, his face did not change, and he resolutely said: "Wei Ting personally persuaded the Qing Emperor to abdicate, how can he go against the grain and restore the imperial system, this matter is pure nothingness, someone wants to provoke a dispute between you and me!" Ye Shuangqi was unhappy in his heart, and secretly thought: Yuan Shikai was obviously telling a lie, and that day at the Xinfeng Building party, he wanted to use Yang Du and Yuan Keding's mouth to persuade Brother Cai Yi to agree to the constitutional monarchy.

When Mr. Wen heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said: "If the president has no intention of restoration, then my China will prosper one day, and Wen hereby promises to the president that as long as the president does not act against him, the revolutionaries in the south will never criticize again, and the party dispute between the north and the south will be stopped, just today!" Yuan Shikai was overjoyed and said: "In this way, Mr. Wen can be called long live!" Mr. Wen hurriedly excused himself and said: "Where, where, President Yuan is worthy of being called long live!"

The two sides came and went, calling each other long live, so that Ye Shuangqi didn't know how to record, and secretly thought: Wouldn't this long live become the emperor? Yuan Shikai was extremely useful, and when he heard Mr. Wen call him long live, he not only imagined the grand scene of his ascension to the throne and the emperor.

After a burst of laughter, Yuan Shikai said: "Since the matter of the party dispute has been calmed down, dare to ask Mr. Can I teach me a strong country?" When Mr. Wen heard him ask, he came prepared, took out a drawing from the document bag and said: "The strategy for China's prosperity and strength is all in this map!"
