Years of the Republic of China 1913

Seeing Fang Zida's shocked look, Yang Du smiled, waved his folding fan and asked again (). []

At this time, Fang Zida had gradually calmed down from the shock at the beginning. He looked at Yang Du suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine Yang Du was going to sell in his gourd ().

Yuan Shikai is still in power, and Yang Du's importance as the old Yuan's confidant is self-evident, not to mention that Yang Du himself said that he learned the art of the emperor, and Yuan Shikai was able to step by step from the Beiyang minister to the Republic of China today. The position of the president is a great success for Yang Du as a counselor.Although Yuan Shikai's health has been deteriorating in recent years, the tiger's disease persists. As a confidant, Yang Du actually asks Fang Zida if he is willing to take the position at this time, which makes Fang Zida shocked and puzzled.

It stands to reason that Yang Du, as the successor of the emperor's art, even if Yuan Shikai dies of serious illness in the future, he should support the descendants of the Yuan family, especially the elder uncle, Mr. Yuan, who sharpens his head every day and wants to be the real prince. Why didn't Yang Du ask him?Although Fang Zida can be regarded as half of the Yuan family, but after all, it is not as good as the father-son relationship between Lao Yuan and Yuan Keding, so it is really inappropriate to ask.

What's more, Yuan Shikai's beating and the leak of his plan against Japan made Fang Zida even more vigilant.Yang Du is not an ordinary person, no matter how good their relationship is, it is just a personal relationship, friends are friends, politics is politics, Fang Zida is not naive enough to listen to wind and rain, in case Yang Du is deliberately inquiring for Yuan Shikai if……. <Qiu Dingsheng, physical discomfort is nothing more than a minor illness.Now it is the Republic of China.What is realized is the constitutional governance of the country, who holds any position, has its own national system, and nominates the president and prime minister.How can Congress' approval be something we can discuss casually? "

"Hahaha!" Yang Du laughed loudly: "You, Fang Mingming, are you too cautious? It's just you and me here. This word came out of my mouth and into your ears. If you don't say it and I don't say it, how can outsiders know? Could it be that I, Yang Du, are a teller in the eyes of Fang Changming?"

Fang Zida smiled lightly, but did not continue. [] Yang Du laughed a few times, then leaned forward slightly.Seriously said: "There is no need for this between you and me, brother Ming, don't you understand my Yang Du's character after you and I have known each other for all these years? To be honest, President Yuan may not have much time. Once he lets go, he will inevitably go west." Cause political turmoil. From the perspective of the overall situation of the country today, no matter whether it is public or private, I am afraid that I don’t want to see this happen? If this is the case, why not prepare early? Or to avoid being unable to control the overall situation at that time, leading to the disintegration of the government. "

Slightly nodded ().Yang Du's words are reasonable. In fact, Fang Zida has been thinking about this issue. This is why he pays close attention to Yuan Shikai's condition and uses folk remedies to help him treat it.And the main purpose of encouraging Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren to promote the construction of the National Defense Forces.Just keep Yuan Shikai safe for a few years, and wait until everything is on track.Even if Yuan Shikai dies, the political situation will not be too much turmoil.But now it seems that although Yuan Shikai's illness has improved slightly after taking medicine.But the illness is still repeated, and the health is good and bad. The struggle between the various factions in Beiyang is now suppressed by Yuan Shikai, but once Yuan Shikai is gone, it will be just the struggle between Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang It is easy to suppress, and the consequences are unpredictable.

What's more, foreign forces have never relaxed their attention to China, especially Japan. Although Ningji Okamura went back in despair, and Kenji Doihara died in China inexplicably, who can guarantee Japan? Can't make a comeback?If the situation is stable, everything is easy to say. Once the situation is turbulent, they will come to them like flies everywhere.

"I've heard for a long time that Brother Xizi was in favor of a constitutional monarchy in his early years, and he even advocated that China could not live without an emperor. But even so, according to Brother Xizi's logic, the most ideal person should be Yuan Yuntai. Why don't you look for him?"

"Hmph! Yuan Yuntai is just a scumbag, how can he be in a high position?" Yang Du dismissed him. He didn't like Yuan Keding at all. Don't look at this ambitious and talented Mr. Yuan, who has been busy jumping up and down recently, but in Yang Du In Du's eyes, he's just a clown. [Find the material of the novel and it's here] Praise Yuan Keding for the top position, a smart person like Yang Du would not do such a stupid thing, even if you want to choose someone, you have to choose someone who is virtuous and talented.

Shaking the folding fan, Yang Du raised his finger and pointed at Fang Zida and said, "Actually, Zhang Ming made a mistake in saying something. Although I, Yang Du, have learned the art of emperors, I have also supported constitutional monarchy, and even said that China cannot live without emperors, but I am not just Advocate the monarchy. This emperor is different from another emperor, the emperor is just a title, just like the president, in other words, China cannot do without a strong leader."

"What do you mean?" Fang Zida was slightly taken aback. Yang Du was one of the important promoters of Yuan Shikai's empire in history. It can be said that apart from Yuan Keding who was eager to become the prince, Yang Du played a very important role in it. so big.But now, instead of belittling Yuan Keding, Yang Du justifies himself by saying that he is not absolutely in favor of the monarchy, but just thinks that China should have a strongman similar to Yuan Shikai ().

"It's weird..." Fang Zida wondered, looking at Yang Du with puzzled eyes.Could it be because Yang Du was slapped several times by Yuan Keding's men by mistake, and he still holds a grudge to this day?Or in other words, Yang Du's world view has changed again in the past few years?However, the situation of the latter is hard to say. Yang Du had a rich and colorful life experience, and his identity was extremely complicated and strange. It was mentioned in the history book that he actually became a glorious gcd member in the end?

"Constitutionalism is a good thing, but no matter how good it is, you can't eat it all the time." Yang Du said with a smile: "What do people in power rely on? One is prestige, the other is power, and the third is balance. The three are President Yuan Both, this is the tacit understanding between the president and the prime minister and the progress of the Republic of China today. Once the high-ranking person, that is, President Yuan, is gone, how can he be suppressed by Song Dunchu as the leader of the party and the prime minister? The various parties and factions that are coveting? Let alone the Beiyang faction, it is impossible. Once the balance at the top level is broken, the political situation will inevitably be turbulent, and the efforts of these years will be in vain. Brother Ming, time is not waiting for me!"

"That's not necessarily true." Fang Zida said disapprovingly: "Nowadays, the advantages of constitutionalism are gradually being realized, the construction of the National Defense Force is also in place step by step, and the separation of local military administration from civil administration is being implemented one after another. Within three to five years, the country as a whole will take on a new look, and the ministries of the government will be completely new. Mutual containment, supervision by the two houses of Congress, and state-owned military. At that time, the political situation may not be shaken by a certain person, party or faction. Once someone destroys peace, he is a sinner of the country and the nation. Doing such a thing at the risk of the world?"

"Brother Zhangming is right!" Yang Du clasped his hands together and praised, "If that's the case, then I, Yang Du, can return to my hometown and pick chrysanthemums in the southeast. But, what if it doesn't work in three to five years? What about changes? For example, President Yuan...?"

Fang Zida got angry for a while, opened his mouth but couldn't answer.Yang Du's words hit the point. Fang Zida's idea is good, and the country is going on this road. If the plan goes well, it will be like what Fang Zida said. When the time comes, the constitutional government will be stable and no one will be able to shake it.But no matter what you do, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, and this event is Yuan Shikai.

For a while, Fang Zida was silent.Yang Du smiled slightly, and said: "Shang Ming, counting everyone in the political circle, who is more suitable than you? You are from kmt, and have a very good personal relationship with Song Dunchu, and now he is the president's good son-in-law. The country has done a lot of meritorious service, holding financial power, military industry, and even industry and commerce (). In addition, the Eighth Division of the Army and the No.15 Division are all direct troops of yours. Together with the guards of the Zhongyang Bank, they are already a powerful force After the Great President, only Fang Mingming has the ability to take over the Great President's team."

"It's impossible." Fang Zida burst out laughing, could it be that Yang Du was talking in his sleep?Although he, Fang Zida, is powerful, but after all, his qualifications are too low, how could he succeed Yuan Shikai?

"Why is it impossible?" Yang Du asked subconsciously, and in a blink of an eye he understood, pointing at Fang Zida and laughing loudly: "Shang Ming, ah, you don't think I mean making you the president?"

Yang Du laughed a few times, and wiped the water from the corners of his eyes: "It's impossible for the President. According to the Constitution, once the President leaves, besides Vice President Li, only Song Dunchu can act as the Prime Minister temporarily. At most, Cheng Mingyi is just succeeding Song Dunchu. Of course, compared with the president, the prime minister actually has more power, and being prime minister can also achieve his goal. But in my opinion, Song Dunchu I will definitely not be content to be an empty prime minister, so it is best for Mingyi Cheng to serve as deputy prime minister and chief financial officer."

Yang Du's words made Fang Zida's heart flutter. Yang Du is worthy of being a counselor, and his analysis is correct.Instead of serving as a powerful president with a high name and weak power, Song Jiaoren would definitely not do this, and according to the constitution, he would also give up this opportunity to Li Yuanhong.Although Fang Zida can't get to the top position in one step, it is not impossible to take it one step further. The best position is the deputy prime minister and chief financial officer that Yang Du said.

"Hehe, don't you think it's too early to talk about these fair sons?" Fang Zida couldn't be tempted, but on the surface he looked calm and said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to discuss such a big matter, it's not convenient for me to discuss it." , if it gets out, neither the President nor Premier Song will spare me."

Yang Du also laughed immediately, nodded knowingly, then shut up and never talked about it again, but talked about other things.After chatting for a while, Yang Du took his leave and left. Before leaving, he and Fang Zida exchanged a tacit glance, everything was kept silent. (To be continued..)
