After the national mourning was over for a hundred days, all major events gradually returned to their former appearance. The most luxurious hotel in the capital, the Six Kingdoms Hotel, was decorated with lights and joy. Since the early morning, people have been coming. The Indian gatekeeper sighed: There have never been so many Chinese people here, nor have they seen so many important officials.

It turned out that the Imperial Constitutional Party will hold a founding meeting after the preparation period expired, and the main venue will be in the conference hall of the Six Kingdoms Hotel.

Since the promulgation of the "Nine Years of Preparation for Constitutional Development" was launched in the world, the momentum of constitutionalism has increased day by day. Under the emperor's hints and even explicit edicts, constitutionalists in various places have abandoned their views and started to unite. In particular, the strong shock caused by the publication of two full pages of "People Calls" published on the first issue of the Empire Daily on the same day, which made them look forward to the prospect of unity.

In order to effectively deal with this new thing, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, under the supervision of Shanqi, quickly promoted and passed the "Party Law" based on the original "Law on Assembly and Association", which clearly stipulated:

1. Party building is registered. All national political parties need to apply for approval and registration in advance from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Any local political parties apply for pre-approval and registration from their provinces and report to the Ministry for filing. All parties that do not have approval will be invalid and are not allowed to participate in the elections of the Congress and the Local Advisory Council;

2. When approving and registering, all matters such as party policies, charters, names, sponsors, etc. shall be submitted. Any conflicts with the Imperial Constitution and the law shall not be allowed;

3. Within three months after the official establishment of a political party, various information such as the list of members, including name, occupation, origin, residence, etc. shall be collected into a book and submitted to the approval authority for filing, so that there is a case to be reviewed. If the facts and circumstances are found to be inconsistent with the registration matters, it shall be deemed to be illegal and sanctioned, but amended documents shall be submitted at any time;

4. The party’s financial expenditure shall be subject to a special person, and shall be submitted to the approving authority for filing and review every year. Anyone with unclear accounts and commits personal gains shall be punished. If the income is sponsored by a foreign agency or individual, it shall be publicly published in the newspaper to clarify the misunderstandings;

5. Individuals who join a political party must voluntarily apply and join independently. They must not force others to join the party, nor are they allowed to fabricate others as members of the party, otherwise sanctions will be imposed;

6. At most, individuals are allowed to join one political party and are allowed to quit the party at any time. If they join a new political party, their original party qualifications will be invalid and they will not be allowed to cross the party;

...

The conference hall was already full of people, and representatives from all over the world and reporters from major newspapers and halls in Beijing had already filled the entire conference hall.

At around 9 o'clock, the conference officially began. In the eager sight of the crowd, Zheng Xiaoxu, the chairman of the preparatory meeting with a big red flower with his chest, walked up to the front table with a high spirit. Although his slightest remarks were slightly local accent, it did not disturb the understanding: "Our party adopted the central headquarters, local branch system, and gathered the original Zhengwen Society, the Preparatory Constitutional Association, the Constitutional Seminar and other constitutional groups. After the first preparatory meeting, the Central Headquarters was located in the capital, and the 10 local branches of Jingji, Fengtian, Zhili, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guangdong and Shanghai were the central headquarters and were no longer established separately.

The central headquarters has two honorary chairman, one chairman, two vice chairman, and two directors; each provincial branch has one secretary and two deputy directors, and the total number of officers does not exceed 9, and the chief secretary of each branch is a natural director. The headquarters has a general affairs, finance, publicity and law committee, and one director of the committee is responsible for the affairs of the committee, and a chief of the committee is responsible for the daily affairs; each branch also has each branch committee, and one secretary of the committee is responsible for the affairs of the committee."

"There are 124 formal members attending the founding meeting, representing nearly 10,000 party members across the country. Below, read the party's constitution and please vote..."

"Our Party aims to save China, promote constitutionalism, and reform and strengthening. In the past, it is righteous to protect danger, so it is trembling and takes risks. Now it aims to strengthen itself, but it is for progress..."

Hugh, warm applause!

"Today, the founding meeting was held. Our party took the lead in implementing democracy and elected under the secret ballot law... Please put the filled-in ballot box in turn."

Kang Youwei, Zheng Xiaoxu, Liang Qichao and others went up to the previous group to throw a vote in their hands. The spotlight shone several times, recording the exciting scene... Then there was unboxing and checking the tickets and singing the tickets. While waiting, the host sang: "The Angel is here!"

Everyone stood up and left the seat, but Wang Shang led a few eunuchs to come, vaguely carrying a plaque.

"Mr. Zheng, Master. Kang, sirs, we are congratulating the emperor. I wonder if there is any collision?"

"Where, where, Eunuch Wang is polite." Zheng Xiaoxu and Kang Youwei's robe were lifted and were about to kneel down, Wang Shang quickly stopped him, "The emperor said, this is a congratulation, not an order, so there is no need to give this great gift."

"The emperor is very kind, and I will repay him with great gratitude."

"The emperor's verbal remarks: 'These officials of Yanyan and Yan are relieved of the king in danger, save the country from water and fire, and support the people from the upside down. I feel it, respect it, and love it... After the political party is established, I will promote reform and practice constitutionalism, I have high hopes... I allocate 100,000 taels of government treasury to party sponsorship fees, and give another piece of gold plaque."

Kang and Zheng stepped forward to reveal the words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" shone brightly.

Everyone shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

After the votes were sung, the election results were announced on the spot.

Honorary Chairman: Shanqi, Kang Youwei

Chairman: Zheng Xiaoxu

Vice Chairman: Yang Du, Liang Qichao

Directors: Zheng Xiaoxu, Yang Du, Liang Qichao, Cen Chunxuan, Duan Fang, Zaize, Xiong Xiling, Sun Hongyi, Tang Hualong, Tan Yankai, Zhang Jian, Tang Shouqian, Pu Dianjun, Ma Xiangbo, Jiang Guanyun, Xu Fosu and others.

Wang Shang smiled and said, "Congratulations! The dinner will be held tomorrow. Please invite all the directors to attend in person. The emperor, the queen and all the princes..."

Another warm applause.

The master sang: "Now read congratulatory messages from all parties. The first letter is that Prince Chun is the regent; the second letter is that Prince Qing is the chief military aircraft; the third letter is that diplomatic missions from various countries; the fourth letter is that the last letter is that the imperial guards inspect the ministers sent a congratulatory message from the ship. Although our soldiers have not joined the party because of the "Soldiers are not party" in the "Party of Political Party Law", they admire the spirit of the Constitution and the essence of constitutionalism, and admire the efforts of the public. When they heard that the imperial constitutional party was grandly established, they specially sent a telephone congratulations, and each pledged 10,000 taels to sponsor."

The venue was boiling and all aspects came to support the show. The status of the constitutional party was extremely noble. Kang Youwei, Zheng Xiaoxu, Zhang Jian and others were faintly shining tears.

After the conference, Cen Chunxuan specially asked Kang and Liang to take a photo, and then told the reporter of the Empire Daily: "In the past, someone had never met with Kang and Liang, but someone fabricated pictures and slandered him. Now he took a photo with Kang and Liang and announced the world to prove that I am indeed a party of Kang and Liang..."

Everyone laughed. Cen Chunxuan's eyes were sharp and found that Zai Zhen, who came to congratulate him, was also present. He immediately said, "Zhen Beizi, I'm not slandering someone..."

"Where, where." Zai Zhen was embarrassed just now, and now he couldn't speak.

"It's better to ask Zhen Beizi to take a photo together and declare the significance of constitutionalism as a consensus." Cen Chunxuan pulled Zai Zhen over without saying anything, and the spotlight flashed, recording the smiles of each person's own thoughts.

"It's too much!" Zai Zhen cursed as soon as he got home.

"So what's wrong?" Yi Li glanced at him, "Who is asking you to mess with you again?"

"Who else, of course, is those bastards. Ama, I can't figure it out. What exactly are we trying to do when we are rushing to do this?"

"I feel sorry for the 30,000 taels of silver?"

"I feel sorry? There is a sound in the water. It's really wasteful to throw it to them." Zai Zhen couldn't figure it out, "Except for the emperor's donation of 100,000, our family recognizes the most. Why can Prince Su be the honorary chairman of the party? Duan Fang and Zai Ze can be the director? You haven't taken anything? That's not all, I came to the door to congratulate him, and Cen Xilin was ridiculed."

"What did he say?"

Zai Zhen told the photo together.

"good!"

"Okay? Ahma, aren't you so angry? What's the good thing? The newspaper will be published tomorrow, and it's all your confusion. Who doesn't know what happened in Ding's mid-year period?"

"That's why I said it was OK!" Yi Li stood up and pointed out the incompetent son. "Cen Yunjie came to apologize without his original intention, but it was the emperor's intention. When the photo took a photo, what did you think of the emperor?"

"You admitted your mistake."

"Wrong! It means that you have surrendered, and it means that you have lost your prejudice against Cen Yun's rank and have given the emperor a step."

"What's the use of this?"

"It's very useful! There was an imperial party before, but later the old one died, and the emperor had no one around him. The empress dowager was in great service, and the Xinjiang minister even raised his tail to the sky. How could he not be in a hurry? Why did he arrest a constitutional party? He wanted to rely on these people to be the team."

"But no one dares to oppose the emperor except Sheng Yun and Rong Qing."

"That's not that, who knows in private? Zaize wants to investigate Beiyang, but Zhang Nanpi doesn't say it on the surface, but he may have been trembling in his heart. Duan Fang clearly acted as a direct supervisor, but no one has covered the bad things left by Liangjiang. How can he not be in a hurry? There is a pile of shit, big or small under the governors in various places! When the advisory board is opened, the group of people in the constitutional party will rely on the emperor to compete with the governors, and the emperor will rely on them to restrict these large-scale officials. Do you think, can you not be in trouble then?"

"So that's the reason. I understand, what should we do?"

"What should I do? It's your Uncle Xu's method, sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, so that they can make trouble!" The Third Opportunity Volume 2 Sweeping across the country Chapter 11 The essence of constitutionalism
