    Since Yuan Shikai wanted to wait, Tang Shaoyi couldn't persuade him any more, so all the people waiting had no choice but to stand in front of the State Council and chatter.  I thought I would only have to stand for a few minutes, but I didn't expect that the wait lasted more than half an hour. Wang Chonghui and Song Jiaoren arrived late.

    Not to mention Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui and other close associates of the Yuan family raised their eyebrows, even Sun Yuanqi looked a little unswerving: Although you two represent an indispensable Tongmenghui block on the political map, it does not mean that you have to rely on favors.  Proud capital.  Since everyone can stand here today, the weight is not much worse than yours.  Why do you put on such a show, pretending to be a wolf with a big tail?

    However, as a colleague, Sun Yuanqi could not say this.  Not only was Sun Yuanqi unable to speak, but even Yuan Shikai did not dare to speak easily.  If we offend these two ancestors and let them walk away, will the State Council still be established today?  Can¡¯t the first state meeting be held yet?  If they try to resign en masse again, I am afraid that what Tang Shaoyi said will come true: the first responsible cabinet of the Republic of China will really be stillborn!  The only person who can stand up and say a few words at this time is Tang Shaoyi.  Firstly, both parties are members of the Tongmenghui, so whether it is a minor or serious matter is an intra-party dispute and will not interfere with anything else; secondly, Tang Shaoyi is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and they are members of the Cabinet, so it is reasonable to criticize them based on their status.

    In full view of everyone, Tang Shaoyi stepped forward with a sullen look on his face, scolding in a low voice: "Liangchou, Dunchu, why are you here so late? Didn't you agree to have a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon? The President and the chief ministers are already waiting at the door.  It¡¯s been more than half an hour!¡±

    Wang Chonghui still felt a little ashamed, but Song Jiaoren just replied lightly: "I was late and kept you all waiting for a long time!"

    Yuan Shikai's anger disappeared as soon as he appeared, and he immediately said with a smile: "Liangchou, Dunchu, are you two here? Just come! Shaochuan, you don't have to be harsh. After all, it's a long way from Jiangsu to the north. It's a long way to get there today.  It's not easy, and it's better late than never. As long as the State Council can be successfully established, the State Council can be convened, and the republican form of government can be truly established, what's the harm in us waiting here for half an hour longer?"

    Song Jiaoren seemed to have just discovered Yuan Shikai and said in surprise: "Ah! Didn't we talk about convening a state meeting today? Why is the president here?"

    Yuan Shikai raised his eyebrows sharply.

    Tang Shaoyi quickly explained: "In addition to the State Council meeting today, there was also the establishment ceremony of the State Council before that, so Tang invited the President to come and give guidance. After repeated invitations, the President agreed and arrived early. This is what I  It¡¯s a great honor for the State Council! How about it, don¡¯t you feel honored by Dun Chu?¡±

    Song Jiaoren shook his head: "No! Song simply felt that since the country implements a responsible cabinet system, the Presidential Palace and the State Council should be independent of each other and not interfere with each other. Now when the cabinet held its first meeting, he suddenly saw the president appear,  I thought the president would also attend the meeting, so I would be a little surprised."

    Yuan Shikai¡¯s face became even more ugly.

    Tang Shaoyi said: "What I said in the early days was wrong! Although the Presidential Office and the State Council should be independent of each other and not interfere with each other according to the law, but now that there are many affairs in the early years of the Republic of China, the government and the government should work together to help each other, and it is not appropriate to forcefully separate each other.  There was a rift. Tang proposed that after the establishment of the State Council, the cabinet would meet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to discuss state affairs; on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, each cabinet member would meet with the president respectively to brief the ministries on matters. It was hoped that through this move, the government would strengthen the  cooperation and exchanges.¡±

    Song Jiaoren retorted: "It is precisely because there are so many affairs at the beginning of the Republic of China that the boundaries between the government and the Yuan Yuan need to be clarified to avoid shirking in the future and causing countless troubles. Although the members of the responsible cabinet are appointed by the president, the cabinet is  They are responsible to the parliament, not to the president, so why do cabinet members need to meet with the president to present matters?"

    Tang Shaoyi frowned and said: "That's because the temporary council cannot yet shoulder the responsibilities of the council, so it has no choice but to obey the power. Furthermore, today is an important day for the establishment of the State Council. Why should Dunchu care about this?"

    Song Jiaoren was not hypocritical at all: "It is precisely because today is an important day for the establishment of the State Council that Song has to worry about these things in order to set rules for the future."

    Wang Chonghui, who came with him, saw that the two people were arguing more and more fiercely, and the other parties were standing aside, as if they were watching the fire from the other side. He quickly stepped forward to dissuade them and said: "Prime Minister Shaochuan, Mr. Dunchu, the President and all the chief ministers are standing aside.  Just waiting! There are still many things to deal with today, so if you have any questions, let¡¯s go in and talk about it!¡±

    Tang Shaoyi finally came to his senses, nodded slightly to Wang Chonghui, then turned around and called Yuan Shikai and everyone else: "President, chief ministers, please wait here. Now that all the cabinet members have arrived, let's all go in!"

    Yuan Shikai looked around for a moment, then led Zhao Bingjun with a calm expression.Duan Qirui and others walked into the State Council.  Others walked in one after another after mutual humility.  When Tang Shaoyi passed by Sun Yuanqi, he held Sun Yuan's arms and walked in, while sighing in a low voice: "Two or three months ago, when Tang and his wise brother went north together, what they were thinking in their hearts was no different from what Song Dunchu was thinking at this moment.  . It wasn¡¯t until I formed the cabinet and experienced all kinds of officialdom that I realized that everything is as my wise brother said: tolerance is more important than freedom, and compromise is more valuable than democracy!¡±

    The location of the State Council was originally the residence of Prince Hongzhou, the fifth son of Yongzheng Emperor. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was demolished and rebuilt into a noble school affiliated to the Ministry of War. Influenced by the spread of European style to the east at that time, the building was designed by Shen Qi, an architect who had studied in the UK.  , showing a strong Western classical architectural style.  At this time, it was used as the State Council of the Republic of China, which complemented each other.

    Walking along the steps into the main hall, you can see a red banner hanging on the wall, which reads neatly in block letters: The Founding Conference of the State Council of the Republic of China.  Under the banner are newly-furnished round tables and chairs, a lecture seat in the middle, and two five-color flags hanging crosswise behind it.  Fortunately, everyone's names are posted on the seats, which saves countless troubles of humility and avoidance.

    The Minister of Education has always been ranked low in the cabinet, and this time the order of seats is no exception. Sun Yuanqi is ranked fourth from the bottom after transportation, agriculture, forestry, and industry and commerce. The fifth from the bottom is the Chief Justice Wang Chonghui.  In other words, the New China Party¡¯s positions in the cabinet are first, third, and fourth from the bottom respectively, while the Tongmenghui ranks second from the bottom and fifth.  Even though New China was at the bottom, Song Jiaoren still looked livid, as if everyone here owed him two hundred yuan.

    After everyone sat down, Tang Shaoyi cleared her throat and said: "His Excellency the President, colleagues, good afternoon, everyone! More than twenty days have passed since the list of cabinet members was announced on February 17, the first year of the Republic of China. During this period, people at home and abroad  Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that the cabinet will take action as soon as possible in order to achieve a complete republic. Due to various reasons, it has been postponed until now. Today, the cabinet colleagues finally gathered together to announce the formal establishment of the State Council and the successful convening of the first state council meeting.  Condolence to the people across the country.

    "The establishment of the cabinet was first initiated in the early Ming Dynasty and was not something imported from Europe and the United States. Before and after Wanli, the power and operation of the cabinet were very close to the cabinet system of modern society. If it could be sustained at that time, China's political enlightenment and economic development would be greatly improved.  Wealth and power will not allow the European and American countries to be the only countries in the world! It is a pity that the powerful monarchs are jealous and the ministers are arrogant. They are hostile to each other and restrict each other. In the end, the cabinet exists in name only and is reduced to a mouthpiece for conveying edicts and issuing proclamations. Now  To form a cabinet, we even had to seek advice from Europe and the United States, which is really a sigh of relief!

    "As the saying goes, 'The car before you is overturned, the car behind you should be warned.' We must draw lessons from the rise and fall of the cabinets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, the cabinet, parliament, and presidential office must not only trust each other and treat each other honestly, but also clarify their responsibilities and  It must not be exceeded; cabinet members must also work together regardless of party affiliation, instead of trying to undermine each other with words and secrets. Only in this way can the cabinet last long and the country be prosperous and strong!

    "Now that the Republic of China has implemented a responsible cabinet system, what are the main responsibilities of the cabinet as the highest national administrative organ? "Historical Records" Chen Ping believes that the prime minister should be 'the one who governs the yin and yang of the emperor, regulates the four seasons, and educates all things.  Externally, we should control the barbaric princes, and internally, we should be close to the people, so that the ministers and officials can perform their duties. If we replace the prime minister with the cabinet, and the emperor with the parliament and the presidential palace, there should be no big problem.

    "The current cabinet held its first State Council meeting today, marking the formal establishment of the State Council of the Republic of China. On this important day, the president did not shy away from the cold weather and attended the inauguration ceremony in person, fully demonstrating the closeness between the government and the court. Value.  Taking this opportunity, Tang boldly, on behalf of the cabinet and the State Council, implores the president to give us a speech to express encouragement and admonishment. Everyone applauds and welcomes us!"

    Yuan Shikai did not refuse and walked up to the lecture table proudly: "Today is a happy day for the establishment of the State Council and the convening of the first state conference. Yuan, like everyone else, is overjoyed and overjoyed. Prime Minister Shaochuan has repeatedly invited  , as to whether to come or not, Yuan hesitated for a long time; even before leaving for the State Council, someone in the government advised that now that the responsible cabinet is implemented, the boundaries between the government and the government should be paid attention to, so as not to cause random speculation. But Yuan  Finally, he came, because as Prime Minister Shaochuan said, Yuan's coming would only show the closeness between the government agencies; if he did not come, he would be deliberately delineating the boundaries between the government agencies and causing random speculation.  .

    "It has only been more than two months since the founding of the Republic of China. The war has not stopped, many wastes are waiting to be revitalized, and the government and the government are also suspicious of each other. Yuan publicly promised here today that he is willing to do his best to carry forward the republican spirit and clean up the flaws of autocracy.  Abide by the Constitution, act in accordance with the wishes of the people, and strive to make the country stable and prosperous as soon as possible, so that the five ethnic groups of Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan can prosper together and live and work in peace and contentment. Yuan knows that it is not easy to realize this ambition.  Because the fundamental to realizing this ambition is for the government and the court to work together as one. In addition to attending the ceremony, this visit is to bring an important matter that requires the government and court's strong cooperation for everyone to discuss!"
