    Sun Yuanqi said: "Premier Tang, please rest assured that our New China Party will definitely put the interests of the country and the nation first, do our best to safeguard the authority of President Yuan, the cabinet and the "Provisional Law", and strive to restrain all kinds of disputes within the cabinet and parliament  Among them, avoid resorting to force and ensure that the Republic of China can move forward peacefully and stably!"

    Tang Shaoyi nodded: "It is really a blessing for the cabinet, as well as for the country and the nation that my colleagues in the New China Party can be so selfless and loyal to the country. Tang would like to thank you all in advance!" After saying that, he stood up and paid tribute to Sun Yuanqi and others.  Take a bow.

    Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian and others rushed forward to support Tang Shaoyi: "Prime Minister Tang is so polite!"

    After sitting down again, Tang Shaoyi continued: "Since he took office as Prime Minister, Tang has been selfish and worried, fearing that he will be ruined. Especially when the two presidents of the Tongmenghui were reluctant to go north, they were even more worried, fearing the responsibility of the first Republic of China.  The cabinet was stillborn. Although President Song and President Wang have now gone north, the gap between the north and the south will be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, and may even increase at any time due to certain issues. Now there are three chief ministers of the New China Party  With your full support, Tang can finally feel at ease!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Premier Tang's concern leads to chaos! In fact, at the beginning of the Republic of China, both President Yuan Da and Mr. Zhongshan hoped that the country could restore peace as soon as possible and achieve prosperity and strength as soon as possible through popularizing education, setting up industry, training new armies, and laying railways.  In this general direction, the two people have the same ideas. If there is any gap between the North and the South, they are just differences on how to realize it and who should take the lead. These can be resolved through dialogue and peace talks.  Solve it. What we have to do is to avoid intensifying conflicts, build a communication platform, and create an atmosphere for peace talks."

    As Sun Yuanqi said, Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen were both strong nationalists, and both had a strong desire for China to become prosperous and strong as soon as possible.  Although Yuan Shikai went in the wrong direction politically, we cannot deny his great efforts for the country and the people, nor can we slander his patriotism as a Chinese.  In traditional textbooks, Yuan Shikai is usually denounced as a traitor for signing the Twenty-One Articles.  In fact, in the face of Japan's aggressive situation, Yuan Shikai tried his best to safeguard national interests. Hu Shi believed that the negotiation of the "Twenty-One Articles" was a victory for weak country diplomacy.

    In contrast, Sun Yat-sen, who was also a "traitor", not only dared to sell, but also dared to sell at a low price, and dared to sell pork at cabbage price!  For him, if the revolution fails anyway, those things have nothing to do with him.  As for success?  Let¡¯s talk about success after success.  For example, the so-called "Sino-Japanese Covenant" signed by two important figures of Mantetsu Co., Ltd., Inuzuka Shintaro and Yamada Junzaburo, in February 1915, was even more treasonous than the "Twenty-One"!

    No matter what Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen have done, they are all the same in revitalizing the country. However, due to differences in knowledge background, official career experience, international vision, etc., they are also mixed with personal interests, factional interests and national interests.  The conflict led to the final situation where they fought to the death.

    When personal interests, factional interests and national interests conflict, those who can truly put national interests above personal interests are saints who are rare to see in a century, and such saints who do not eat the fireworks of the world are constantly changing.  It is often difficult to wield power in the political arena.  And those who put personal interests and factional interests completely above national interests are often unlikely to become successful.  Under normal circumstances, politicians or bureaucrats are looking for a balance between conflicts of personal interests, factional interests and national interests. The key lies in which side has the majority.  Even Empress Dowager Cixi, who said, "Measure China's material resources and gain the favor of the country," did not completely ignore national interests when she misappropriated funds to build the Summer Palace.

    Comparing the life paths of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen, we will find that Yuan Shikai is a traditional Chinese scholar. He was born into an official family. He once guarded the tributary country of Korea, was born and raised here, and has been in the top leadership since his youth. Relatively speaking,  He is more patriotic and nationalistic, and tends to pay more attention to national interests and be more cautious when interests conflict.

    Influenced by the atmosphere of Guangdong and Guangxi, Sun Yat-sen admired Hong Yang's rebellion in his youth. Later, he wandered overseas for decades and was often threatened by domestic (Qing government and Beiyang government). In addition, he was impoverished, wandering, and ignored by others.  , the desire for success in his heart can sometimes even overwhelm everything else; and he spends most of his time at the bottom of society, and does not have much intuitive understanding of national interests including territory, minerals, etc., so he is very forthright and generous when there is a conflict of interest.  , even unscrupulously.

    With a full understanding of the domestic and international political situation at the beginning of the 20th century, ten young people who have traveled through the past under the current political system and education systemSun Yuanqi said: "The capital was crowded with people. I thought there would be a traffic jam, so I went out an hour early with the two chiefs, Si Weng and Zhe Weng. Unexpectedly, the road was extremely smooth, and we arrived here from the front door not long after. But also  It¡¯s not too early, just in time to welcome the President.¡±

    Yuan Shikai did not pursue the true meaning of "traffic jam" and turned to look at the car beside the door: "Is this the car you are riding in? Baixi, you gave me that car. I have ridden in it a few times, and it is indeed very fast!"  It's a pity that I rarely go out. When I go out, the guards around me don't dare to let me ride this kind of machine for fear of being unsafe. So I can only put it in the yard as a decoration, and occasionally drive it out with a few useless things like Ke Wen and Ke Ding.  Just for fun, it¡¯s overkill!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi smiled and said: "In addition to being used as transportation tools, cars are originally meant for people to have fun. Since Mr. Ling likes to drive it, it is just the right place for it. How can it be called overkill?"

    After waiting for Tang Shaoyi and the five chiefs brought by Yuan Shikai to greet each other, they came over to ask for instructions: "President, let's go in!"

    Yuan Shikai looked around: "Are all the cabinet members here?"

    Tang Shaoyi hesitated a little: "Only the two chiefs, Wang Liangchou and Song Dunchu, have not come yet. But there are still ten minutes left for the meeting, and they should be there soon. Let's go in and wait!"

    Yuan Shikai looked unmoved: "Since they will be here soon, I will accompany Shaochuan and you all to wait for them here for a while, so as not to have to come out later." (To be continued.
