Chapter 307(1/2)
Beijing, Huaian Hutong Yangfu s8 flight
"The President wants to borrow my sword."
Yang Du lit a foreign-style cigarette and asked the servant to pour him a glass of English whiskey. He took a big sip and suppressed his weak heart.
In China, he was the first person to deal with Li Zhiyuan. He had never seen through that person, or in other words, he only saw what he wanted others to see. It was precisely because of this that he
He would feel a little weak, and the president wanted to borrow his sword to clean him up, which was exactly what Yang Du was thinking, but Yang Du was afraid that in the end, it would be nothing.
In the past two years, whether as an aide to the president or later as Guan Zhenming's "secret agent", Yang Du often made suggestions for Guan Zhenming, but after all the agencies were exhausted, in the end not only did he get nothing, but he even ended up working for others.
The situation of making a wedding dress, every time he thinks about the past, Yang Du always feels powerless towards that person.
But now he has to "catch a knife" for the president. Although using letters to control people is taking advantage of the trend of the times, and using letters to kill people, for some reason, Yang Du always feels that this matter will not be so easy. Times are easy to borrow, but trends are easy.
Okay, but if you kill people with words, can you kill people?
As his mind slowly calmed down, the scene of counting Arhats at night in Biyun Temple resurfaced in his mind, the years when teachers and students sat together in Mingxingzhai to study the study of emperors, and the three visits of Hu Sanpai in Mawang Temple.
He believes that he should be a prime minister in terms of talent, destiny, and opportunities.
From the Tang cabinet to the current cabinet, let alone being in charge of the cabinet, I have not even gotten a job. The reason for this is that the time has not yet come. When the time comes, I will undoubtedly become the prime minister. It is also because
In this way, on the one hand, he refused the idle position given to him by Yuan Shikai, and while closing the door to thank guests, he also interacted with Yuan Keding, all to pave the way for the opening of the business.
All great things throughout the ages have been done by people, and in order for people to do great things, they must first have a position. Seeking the position of prime minister is a necessary condition for doing great things for the country. Only after you have this position can you calmly display your talents.
A lifetime of ambition and knowledge will lead to the implementation of policies that will lead to China's prosperity and strength, and the recruitment of talents who can implement these policies. Isn't this a great contribution to the country?
For a politician, his value should ultimately be measured based on his contribution to history. As for the means used and the personal goals mixed in, it should not be the main factor.
The means are not bad, and as for wanting to be prime minister, the purpose is not despicable. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the former Qing Dynasty, which person who was doing important things didn't want to be prime minister? Sages like Zhuge Liang and Zeng Guofan still wanted to be prime minister.
Thinking of this, Yang Du, who was originally a little discouraged, suddenly became energetic again, with a little ridicule on his face, as if he was mocking himself for being fucked by such a junior. He closed his eyes and recalled the conversation between Rizhi Yi and the President.
At the same time, he was thinking about the heated debates in the newspapers these two days. After pondering for half an hour, he just picked up the pen and solemnly wrote the title:
"The Republic of China Desires Stability But Cannot Get It"
"Xizi, how is your masterpiece going?"
As soon as I finished writing the title, I saw Yuan Keding coming in from outside with a cheerful look on his face.
"I haven't started writing yet."
Yang Du pointed at the manuscript spread out on the table.
"I just untied the knot in my heart
"What's in your heart?"
Yuan Keding felt strange, what kind of knot could Yang Du have? But suddenly he remembered that this person in front of him appeared to be a lifelong man, but in his heart he was an official fan. I'm afraid the knot was still there.
So Yuan Keding took the teacup that the servant had just given and said with a smile
"Don't have any knots. Just settle down and write this big article, and I will find happiness for you."
Yang Du didn't understand the meaning of Mr. Yuan's words, he just shook his head and said:
"I have solved the problem and don't have to have fun anymore. Let's talk about how to write this article."
"That's exactly what I'm here for"
Yuan Keding said proudly,
"I suddenly thought of a good idea yesterday. How about using enumerators for this article?"
"You mean to write it in the form of answering questions?"
“exactly”
Yuan Keding, whose face was full of pride, put down his cup and said
"The articles discussing national affairs published in newspapers recently are all rigid. From the beginning to the end, the discussion is carried out to the end. The attitude of having a shameless and hard-edged lecture is annoying to people. It is boring to read.
I occasionally read Meiyang's "Qifa", and my interest suddenly increased. I thought, Xizi is today's Meiyang, and I will also write an article about "Qifa". I will be a guest and ask questions; you make the decision, answer each question, and put this
Well, how about explaining in layman’s terms the principles of the Republic of China that stability is unattainable?”
"Very good"
Yang Du, who was still thinking about how to write, was so excited that he showed his true nature as a Meisheng scholar.
"Just start, just start. Have you thought about which questions to ask?"
Yang Du hurriedly picked up his pen and was about to write when he put it down again:
"Yuntai, why don't you just sit across from me?"
"OK"
Yuan Keding, who showed off his talent for the first time, was so happy that he temporarily forgot about the dignity of the eldest son. He picked up his chair and sat across from Yang Du.
"I have thought about a few questions, but they are all things that everyone is concerned about and have not mentioned. You can add more."
In the past few days, he had been reading the commentary articles in various newspapers caused by the "Record of the Meeting between the President and the Japanese Minister", so he also had some questions in his mind.
"Okay, you say"
Yang Duzhong picked up the brush
Yuan Keding sorted out his thoughts slightly, shook his head and said:
"Let me first ask Mr. Xizi this way: In the three years since the founding of the Republic of China, thanks to the power of the president, civil unrest and thousands of insults have been suppressed. The country has stabilized and the people have calmed down. Since then, the internal affairs have been sorted out. In ten or twenty years, China or
Is it possible to become rich and powerful and stand alongside the great powers in the world? You just say: Otherwise, if the country does not want to change its course, there will be no hope of becoming rich and powerful. I ask again: Why? You answer again: This is the shortcoming of China today. I am surprised to ask.
:Why is that? Then, how about you show off Li Zicheng’s military prowess and talk about why powerful warlords make China hopeless for prosperity, Mr. Meicheng?”
"Good for you"
After hearing what Yuan Keding said, Yang Du was overjoyed and said,
"Let me answer you this way: China in the three years of the Republic of China had a population of over 400 million, hundreds of political parties, and dozens of governors, all of which were the source of social instability. Today, people want to sow discord and defend the country.
If Li Jinglue is promoted to the leader, he will inevitably attract other governors in the future. At first, everyone is sincere and has no worries about the country, but then there will be a gap for a long time. This gap is definitely not China's luck. If the conflict is fierce, it will definitely lead to national instability.
If the country is in turmoil, where will the wealth come from? Therefore, there is no hope for China to become rich and strong."
Although it was just the first words, Yuan Keding clapped his hands and cheered
"Good answer, I asked again: So when can we become prosperous and powerful?"
Thinking of his own immediate interests, Yang Du also thought of how to convey some important principles to people who read newspapers in an easy-to-understand manner.
"In the land of China, only when everyone is united can we hope to be prosperous and strong."
These few words struck Yuan Keding's heart, and he suddenly stood up and said:
"For a while, this article will be written like this. I won't ask any more questions. I will pick it up in five days. I believe your article will definitely become an army of millions. If the article is
If the sword is successful, I will definitely ask for credit in front of the president for you."
After saying that, I left Huaian Hutong happily.
After Yuan Keding left, Yang Du began to write formally. He was in high spirits, and his thoughts were flowing. His knowledge was poured out like a bursting river on the pen and paper. He broadened and deepened the questions he answered with Yuan Keding.
, fix them with unrestrained and rigorous words, and then come up with a few questions and answers to point out the dilemma of today's China, and every stroke can be said to have a meaning and a spear.
The person he is referring to is Jiangsu, and the person he is addressing is Li Zhiyuan
In the article, of course he did not forget to praise Li Zhiyuan's patriotism, but of course he also did not forget to emphasize that Japan was good for instigating the president in front of the president, but was not beneficial to the country. He also praised the president, and Li Jinglue should use the national affairs plan
, remove the gaps and think that cooperation, in this way, will be a great blessing for China, and the so-called cooperation is naturally another round of talk.
As a politician, honesty is the most important and deception is the most immoral. Looking at this full article, Yang Du seemed to feel that he was the most honest politician in history. He completed the full article with great pride, and then drank half a bottle of whiskey.
, intoxicated in the dream of a self-designed "politician"
wake up
It was the sound of thunder that woke me up from my unfinished dream. After reading the newspaper article "The Republic of China Desires Stability But Unobtainable", and then related to the few telegrams received in the past few days, I felt a sense of powerlessness.
In Li Zicheng's heart,
"...For the sake of China's stability, China's prosperity and strength, you should ask the central government to disband the army in the war. Only in this way can China's stability be maintained and China's prosperity and strength be promoted."
Looking at the power on, Li Zicheng was at a loss for a moment. What is going on? Before the war was over, someone was calling on him to disarm. It seemed that if he did not disarm for a day, he was Zhu Quanzhong of the Republic of China, a person with ulterior motives.
"Look, look what this newspaper says, what the president should treat others with generosity, never be deceived by the Japanese, and be wary of Jiangsu Province, what Li Jinglue should do to dismantle the country, his mother
Yes, fart”
It was very rare that when Mu Xiang came in, Li Zicheng cursed, "The clay figures also have a certain earthy nature. He has sacrificed a lot for this country, but how did they treat him? Before the bird was finished, someone was thinking about it first."
Hidden bow
"The bird is gone and the bow is hidden. Nowadays, some people are thinking of hiding the bow before the bird is gone. I have provoked whom. Didn't they see the sacrifice of the Jiangsu Army? In one sentence, let me put national affairs first and prove myself."
Innocence, innocence, is there such a way to prove it? If I say that I don’t use force to argue right and wrong, I will never start it. I, Li Zicheng, treat people with sincerity and treat them with heart. What else do they have to doubt?
Why don't they go and see those generals and governors who treat the army as a private army? Why don't they go and see Yuan Shikai's motherfucker. Now that they're here, they're all staring at me. Do they really think that my gun is just a decoration?
