- ish Chapter 379 In the Congress
In June, Beijing has entered early summer. The branches inside and outside the city are spraying green, the flower beds are gorgeous, and pairs of swallows are shuttled among the pink willows and green willows!
After the development in the past few years, although this ancient city has lost a lot of idlers and idlers, it has still been prosperous in the past few years. Although it is not as prosperous as Tianjin, the ancient city The prosperity cannot be found in other places. //www.//i
Members of Congress from all over the world are not rejoicing because of the recovery of the capital; nor are they elated because it is the turn of the Chinese people to enjoy the privileges of the master of the country for the first time; members of Congress and Congress do not seem to be a hall and people discussing national affairs. This is a battlefield, a battlefield full of conspiracy and trickery although there is no blood and death!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? of of of of a group of people without guns, are still going to start a fight here, a life-and-death struggle, by nature carefully hidden in the alleys of the courtyard, let the sun rise and set!
Outside an inconspicuous courtyard with four entrances and four exits in Nan'an Hutong, although it has fallen into the night, the electric light in front of the courtyard is still on. Under the electric light, two police officers wearing black police uniforms stand, and in front of the courtyard gate There is a bronze plaque hanging on it, with the words "Beijing Headquarters of the National Socialist Party" written on it.
This mansion belonging to a former Qing official is the Beijing Party Headquarters of the National Socialist Party, which holds 33.5% of the seats in the National Assembly. Although it bears the name of the Beijing Party Headquarters, in fact, it is the home of the National Socialist Party Senators and Representatives. The place where the gathering was held, Beijing, has always been a conservative city. The development of the National Socialist Party here seems somewhat unsatisfactory. In the two cities of Beijing and Tianjin, Beijing, as the capital, is not the development focus of the National Socialist Party. As the northern city Tianjin, an important industrial town, is an important position of the National Socialist Party.
However, the capital is still the capital. As the capital and the seat of the National Assembly, there must be a place for the National Socialist Party members of the House of Representatives and the Senate to contact each other, so this party branch was set up as a liaison station, also in the middle of Beijing. There is currently no residence for councillors¡¯ apartments.
"There will be a meeting tomorrow!"
Zhang Binglin smiled at everyone in the room. To be precise, the thirty or so people present here are all members of the National Socialist Party¡¯s Senate and House of Representatives. And unlike ordinary party members, most of them are core members of the National Socialist Party. Some of them have chosen their own interests. He became a member of the National Socialist Society, but it was mostly because of his faith.
Since the establishment of the Congress Party, they have continuously instilled in people a belief, a belief that the country is supreme and the nation is supreme. The power of faith cannot be underestimated. Just as the gentleman initially said, once one person, one person Once an organization has a lofty belief, they will be invincible.
"Tomorrow, for us, it will be a battlefield. We must be there to show the people that we are worthy of their choice!"
Tomorrow is an important day. A vote will be held tomorrow to approve the candidate for Prime Minister and the Organic Law of the State Council. Zhang Binglin is not worried about either of these. In fact, in order to ensure that Mr. Yuan Shikai can serve as Prime Minister, Yuan Shikai even sent dozens of people. Operator, lobby the provincial legislators, and the provincial legislators also understand that choosing Mr. is the only way to avoid civil war.
"So, Director Zhang, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
Pang Zude, the newly elected senator of the Fengtian Provincial Congress, a young man who joined the National Socialist Party because of his ideals, asked nervously.
The battlefield! Congress is the battlefield!
This is the idea that the National Socialist Party told them. They will go to that battlefield to fight for the country and the nation. The rejuvenation of the country and the nation will start from the Congress venue, where they will set off an unprecedented storm. In the storm When it sweeps across the country, the entire face of the country will change.
And more importantly, after this storm, the Congress, which represents public opinion, is no longer a place for party disputes or a chaotic vegetable market, but a place for planning for the country, a place truly composed of "gentlemen who care about the country and the people." "The venue consists of.
"What is Congress?"
??As a rhetorical question, Zhang Binglin, as a secretary of the National Socialist Party and also the leader of the Chinese Socialists in Congress, continued.
"The highest legislative body in the country, the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate should be composed of "gentlemen who care about the country and the people." They should not take the people's salaries and then work as prostitutes in the Eight Alleys, nor should they be addicted to opium. Among drugs, if we want to change this country, we must start by changing Congress!¡±
"Congress!"
Standing on the balcony outside the window on the second floor of the Guest House, Li Zicheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky. When he said these two words, there was a sneer on his face.
Congress may represent public opinion, but in Yuan Shikai¡¯s eyes, Congress is a tool that can be manipulated. So what about in his own eyes? Hmm?is a tool that can be used!
Using Congress to achieve your own goals is a double-edged sword. While using Congress, you must empower Congress to become the true highest legislative body of the country, and establish the authority of Congress accordingly. Only when citizens recognize the authority of Congress can they ultimately use Congress to achieve their own goals.
But if he opposes himself after Congress has established his authority, it will be shooting himself in the foot. To avoid all this from happening, he must control Congress. Only by firmly controlling Congress Only in your own hands can you prevent all of this from happening.
And how to control Congress?
Thinking deeply in his heart, Li Zicheng thought of the report on his desk. That report would be the first bill submitted by the State Council to Congress. It was not about recovering a certain lost state power, nor was it about a certain Xiang Huimin's proposal is not about what kind of policies the State Council will implement, but the behavioral constraints on national civil servants. ish
This will be the first shot fired by the State Council in Beijing. After this shot, not only the Congress, but also the provincial councils, city councils and county councils will have the power to impeach those state officials who have misbehaved. But what about those members? Aren¡¯t they state servants?
yes!
Of course they are state officials! However, this is just a bait. This bait will induce them to agree and pass this proposal, but who will be the first to taste the power of the bill?
With a sneer, Li Zicheng took a deep breath from his cigar, then exhaled the smoke and looked at the sky full of stars. This is the starry sky that will be impossible to see in the capital a hundred years later. Now, he will set off a revolution in this starry sky. Unprecedented - revolution!
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s revolution!
That will be a glorious bloodless revolution!
On June 4, 1915, the Congress, which represented the public opinion, finally reopened and held a general meeting in the capital.
On this day, the weather in Beijing was sunny, and the warm sunshine filled the streets. The Congress venue was solemnly and warmly decorated, with the five-color national flag hanging high, a military band in front of the door, drums beating loudly, and salutes roaring. Compared with when the first Congress was first established, the members of Congress elected by the Senate and the House of Representatives were not present, and finally each had a majority, meeting the quorum, and could barely hold the founding meeting of the Congress. Today's Congress, however, All members of the Senate and House of Representatives were present. Except for members of the House and Senate, all state ministers and government commissioners were present. The venue was packed.
Because the National Assembly has been dissolved, the old Speaker of the National Assembly cannot be used. Since the Speaker of the National Assembly has not yet been elected, Mr. Yang Qiong, the oldest among the members, has to be elected as the interim chairman, who will preside over the opening ceremony. At the beginning of the meeting, military music was played and gun salutes were fired. Participants bowed three times to the national emblem under the national flag. Then, the interim chairman read out the opening speech, which was nothing more than clarifying the purpose of the Congress and the role of the members of Congress. Finally, he said:
"I wish we could have one country and control its power, and I wish our five tribes could rectify their party bias. When the rains are heavy, the farmers should be the first to grow crops. The scholars should be happy with their work, and the officials should be in peace. There should be no government, no promotion, no concealment, no publicity. ¡± and so on.
After this opening speech, it¡¯s time for the president to deliver his eulogy. Everyone looked around, but Yuan Shikai was nowhere to be seen. Someone discussed:
"What, the president stopped giving a speech? Does it mean that the president does not support Congress?"
"What do you mean the President is not at the meeting? Did you remember the wrong date?"
Others simply shouted.
"Where is the president? He should meet with the congressmen. It's okay if he doesn't give a eulogy."
While the members were discussing, many old members remembered the scene when the Congress was first convened three years ago. At that time, the president did not attend, and only the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace spoke on his behalf. Obviously, this was another time The past repeats itself.
Just as people guessed, just as people were anxious, I saw a man holding a speech and hurriedly walked onto the podium. In an instant, someone recognized him. They were no longer strangers to this person:
"This is Liang Jifu, the secretary-general of the government. When did he become president?"
Ridicule is sarcasm, Liang Shiyi stepped onto the podium, regardless of the mood in the venue, he said loudly:
"Members of Congress, the President has important matters and has no time to attend the meeting, so he sent me as his representative to deliver the eulogy."
After that, he unfolded the lyrics drafted by Ruan Zhongshu and started reciting. Unlike the last time, he had to tear his throat to make his voice spread throughout the venue. This time, with the help of amplifiers and speakers, his voice was not loud, but it could be heard throughout the venue. Throughout every corner of the Congress Hall:
"On June 4, the fourth year of the Republic of China, the first Congress of the Republic of China officially reopened. The establishment of a republic and the implementation of the Congress were actually a milestone in the history of our country for more than 4,000 years.The greatest glory, the happiness of four hundred million people for billions of years. Shikai is also a member of the Republic of China, and we should be deeply grateful with all the gentlemen. The Republic of China was created out of the hearts of 40 million people, and the official Congress is also based on the hearts of 40 million people. Then national sovereignty naturally belongs to all citizens.
However, in the four years since the founding of the Republic of China, the so-called organs directly appointed by the people are actually not yet complete. Two years ago, due to the rebellion of the rebel party in the country, the then Prime Minister was forced to dismiss the rebel rebel party. Later, due to insufficient members of the National Assembly, he Shikai was forced to dissolve Congress. Today, with God's blessing, Congress has been reopened through by-elections, which is indeed a blessing for China.
The members of the National Assembly are directly elected by the people, that is, they are directly appointed by the people. From then on, the entity of the republic is expressed and the exercise of the governing power is carried out satisfactorily. All gentlemen know the heroes of the time, and they will be able to express their opinions and make loyal plans for the country. From then on, the foundation of the Republic of China will be strengthened, and the happiness of the five major ethnic groups will increase day by day. Working together to create the most powerful Republic of China, so that the five-color national flag can always shine on the mainland of China, is what Gu Shikai and all the gentlemen pray for privately. I would like to pay tribute to this day; long live the Republic of China! Long live the Congress of the Republic of China!"
After reciting, Liang Shiyi hurriedly walked down.
Although members of Congress kept talking, the ceremony of establishing the Congress was finally completed. As a result, state ministers and government commissioners left the meeting one after another, and congressmen also left the venue.
On this day, the National Assembly resumed its session, and the previous legislative meetings and the Senate were naturally disbanded. The original members of the Legislative Council and the Senate still returned to the old house and held a simple dissolution ceremony.
After the establishment of the National Assembly, the two houses of Congress elected their own speakers respectively. Then there was endless fuss. In the morning, the meeting was announced to resume. In the afternoon, the speakers of the House and Senate were voted on. Later, they had to approve the candidate for prime minister submitted by the president and the organizational regulations of the State Council. , and all this must be completed within one day.
Congress has never been so busy as it is now. There are so many "businesses" to do in one day. But for the vast majority of members of Congress, they know that these tasks must be completed today. Over there, the president is waiting all day. No.
Yuan Shikai, who did not attend the opening ceremony of the Congress, had no intention of caring about the members of Congress who, because of his instructions, had to spend a day working on things that would take several months to complete. For Yuan Shikai, Congress was just a pretext. A reason to satisfy others, he still uses the old method of dealing with Congress, playing with him when he doesn't need it, and manipulating him when he needs to.
He called Liang Shiyi, who was attending the opening of the National Assembly, in front of him, asked about the opening of the National Assembly, and then said:
¡°Let them fiddle with themselves, let¡¯s do our thing.¡±
Yes, there are too many things for Yuan Shikai, the president, and there are many things much bigger than Congress. He cannot just think about it. Liang Shiyi knew what was going on in the president's mind, and he didn't want to talk more about Congress. Just follow the pole and say:
"Let them give speeches. It won't take three years for the scholars to rebel. If a group of celebrities who hang out all day long can conquer the world, it will be too easy."
But at this moment Yuan Shikai seemed to have remembered something.
"that¡¡"
Looking up at Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai suddenly asked.
"I didn't go, has Li Zhiyuan gone?"
"Li Zhiyuan didn't go either!"
"He didn't go?"
This result stunned Yuan Shikai. In his expectation, he, who had been appointed as Acting Prime Minister, was supposed to attend the opening ceremony, and then he would address the Congress after Liang Shiyi delivered a speech on his behalf. However, Li Zicheng didn't go. All the state ministers went, but he didn't go. What's going on?
"He is at the Guest House?"
Although the president did not mention his name, Liang Shiyi quickly replied,
"He is not at the guest house. There is a message from the hotel's internal line that he went out this morning!"
"Let me ask, where is Li Zicheng? What is he doing?" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
