Liang Qichao's departure only made Sun Wen angry, but Liang Qichao was not a member of the League after all, not even a member of the Revolutionary Party, so he only had nowhere to vent. Huang Xing next to him didn't say a word when he was talking to Liang Qichao, he was not as persistent as Sun Wen, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether the republic was a republic or not, the key was not to be the emperor of the Tartars, and at the same time there must be a strong government to lead the country to resist foreign humiliation, and now Yang Jingcheng can indeed do this, so he agrees with Song Jiaoren's point of view, that is, the revolution is over, and if the League wants to survive in the future, it is necessary to carry out reorganization, but the reorganization was resolutely resisted by Sun Wen.

"Yixian, Liang Zhuoru was on a different path from us earlier, and now if you want him to join us, I'm afraid it's impossible." Huang Xing said.

"But his student Cai Songpo has a province." Sun Wen straightened his thoughts and calmed down, "I can't watch this country slide into the abyss of autocracy again, Keqiang, we may have to revolutionize." ”

"Now that the whole country is decided, and the National Assembly is convening, the revolution will only lose the support of the people." Huang Xingdao.

"The will of the people is made. What will be the will of the people when the revival will raise righteousness? As soon as they occupy most of the provinces of the country, then there will be popular support. Sun Wen said with some disdain, "In the seventeen years of the revolution, my generation has squandered countless bloods and sacrificed countless lives, but in the end, even the republic cannot be realized. ”

"Most of the revolutions were just trying to overthrow the rotten Manchus, and now they have done it. And the republic, in addition to you and me, there are more than a dozen backbone members of the League, how many people understand? Huang Xing sighed. A dozen of us can't turn the tide of things. Now the revival will be a constitutional monarchy, if not a constitutional monarchy, then a similar form of government. A republic is also out of the question. Yat-sen, let's forget it. ”

"You can't just leave it at that!" Sun Wen turned around and shouted, but after a while, he suppressed his anger again and asked, "Yang Huizi has made an appointment, I want to see him." ”

Yang Rui didn't see anyone in the Alliance at all, and Zhang Xingyan, Qiu Jin and other old members of the Alliance were still on their way back to China. If Sun Wen wants to understand the political situation, he can only find Yang Du.

"Yang Huizi, he... He didn't want to meet with us, but he only said that he was busy with business. "Huang Xing and Yang Du are fellow villagers, and they were both international students when they were in Tokyo, so they refused to Huang Xing unequivocally.

"What is the official busy, he just found the master. It's just a matter of playing for us. Walk! We'll go to his house and wait now. It's up to him to see if he's a slave who will kick us out. Sun Wendao, after that, pulled Huang Xing into the diplomatic carriage provided by the Japanese and went to Yang Du's residence on Xihuamen Street.

In recent months, unlike the depressed and gloomy Sun Wen, Yang Du is full of ambition, he is deeply happy that he pressed the treasure at the beginning, and now he is not only Yang Rui's cronies. He is also an important minister of the new dynasty, and he also has a dream stage to show his ambitions. What could be more wonderful in life?

When Sun Wen's carriage came to the apartment, Yang Du happened to be at home. The new government is the lunar calendar, and the official festivals will have holidays such as Zhengdan, Shangyuan, Spring Ploughing, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongyuan, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, and Winter Solstice, plus a total of 11 Wanshou Festival and National Memorial Day, and in addition, there are two days off on the first and fifteenth days of the new year every month, and there are more than 40 days of not going to work in a year. Today is the first day of August, so the Extraordinary Parliament is on vacation.

Yang Du is an important member of the new government, but the house he lives in is extremely ordinary, the porter was shocked by the diplomatic carriage that Sun Wen was sitting in, you must know that the army is short of horses, and the horses of the princes and ministers have been sent to the front line, and now the Western horses parked in the carriage at the door are so robust that there is no second home in the whole Beijing except for foreigners.

When the porter thought it was a foreigner, Sun Wen and Huang Xing just got out of the car, and Huang Xing said in Hunan that he wanted to find a fellow villager, and he broke in with Sun Wen without waiting for the porter to report. At this time, Yang Du was writing in his study, and although the provisional congress was held last month, there were still many things to discuss, and Song Jiaoren and the deputies from Yunnan were always finding faults, which made the process of the meeting extremely slow.

"Master, there are two people outside, they broke into ......" The porter was very uneasy about the two people who broke in, but when he saw the situation, he knew that they were fellow villagers, so he had to come to report if he couldn't get out.

"Skinny! Skinny! Sun Wen and Huang Xing followed the gatehouse to the study, Yang Du understood what was going on when he heard it, and only asked the next person to prepare tea, and then looked at Huang Xing and Sun Wen who came to the door and said: "The two of you are really here, my cold house is really full of brilliance." ”

Since they met, Yang Du naturally had no reason to drive himself out, Sun Wen smiled when he heard this: "Huizi, I have been in Beijing for many days, and I wanted to talk to my old friend, but you always say that you are busy with official business." Gentlemen, you won't join the Revival Society and forget your old friends, right? ”

"There, there." Yang Du looked at Sun Wen, Huang Xing and the others just politely, "The two of you are still in the living room, please, I haven't seen you for many years, and I just want to talk about my feelings after parting." ”

As soon as Sun Wen entered the door, he saw the draft on Yang Du's desk, and the word 'Constitution' on the outer skin only sucked his soul here, and he couldn't move his steps at all, he said bluntly: "Huizi, are you discussing the Constitution now?" Can I take a look? ”

Yang Du turned his eyes to look at the manuscript on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Yixian misunderstood, this is just the constitutions of various countries that I usually excerpt, and it is not something to be discussed in the provisional Congress, there is nothing to see." Two, please come here. ”

Yang Dutui said that it was just the constitution of another country, and Sun Wen was not good at coming forward to check, so he had to go to the reception room next door with Yang Du, but as soon as he sat down, he asked: "Huizi, your parliament has also been open for a long time, and what have you come up with?" Do you really want to restore the imperial system with Yang Jingcheng? ”

"Brother Yixian......" Yang Du was a little embarrassed to answer, so he had to say, "Since everyone is friends, let's talk about Fengyue recently, there is no need to talk about business." The bill of the Provisional Diet will be made public at that time. ”

"It's too late when it's announced." Sun Wen didn't care about his official or private affairs, he just wanted to prevent the restoration of the imperial system through guòyiqiē relations, "Huizi, has the Provisional Congress established the state system?" ”

Sun Wen did not relax, and Yang Du was just silent. He has always looked down on the people of the League, and will only shout bad things, which will not benefit the country and the people at all. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a national thief, the Revolutionary Party was even more a national thief, and the same was true before the Renaissance Association, but compared with the League, Yang Jingcheng was measured and smart, and never did anything to make the world chaotic or fish in troubled waters, which made him look at it differently. Now Sun Wen is very rude when he comes. When he came again, he was bent on inquiring about congressional secrets, which really annoyed him.

Suppressing a little dissatisfaction, Yang Du said, "Yixian." I know whether the Diet has really decided on the state system and what state system it has determined, but I can't say until it is announced. Isn't Song Jiaoren, a member of the Alliance, a representative of Zhili? If you are in the know. You can look for him. ”

"Huizi, you ......" Sun Wen was angered by Liang Qichao again, and Huang Xing next to him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Huizi, I'll just ask him a word, is this country an imperial system?" ”

Seeing Huang Xing asking, Yang Du, who couldn't resist his nostalgia, wanted to speak and stopped. Finally, he said, "I can only say one word. After that, there was no emperor in China. ”

"There really is no emperor!" Sun Wen was suddenly excited, "Then let me ask you, what does it mean that King Min sent an edict to the Congress some time ago?" Why is it not a republic without an emperor? ”

"Mr. Sun, I can't go back to these questions now, and when the head of the transitional government is elected in a few more days, you will know all about the political system and government departments of the entire country." Yang Du said, Mr. Sun only stretched the relationship between the two very far.

"Why not elect the president?" Sun Wen had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard the word leader. I can't say when he started, he always had a dream, dreaming that the alliance would take Beijing, and then the delegates from all over the country elected him as the interim president, the beginning of the dream was good, but the end of the dream was that he didn't do it long as the interim president, and he was beaten into the capital by Yang Jingcheng, and finally died in the world.

Seeing that Sun Wen was rude again, Yang Du was just silent, and Huang Xing next to him saw that the situation was embarrassing, and the peacemaker said with a smile: "Huizi, Yixian has always believed that only by implementing a republic can China turn the situation around and protect the country and protect the species, and now Yang Jingcheng has carried out the King Min of the former Ming Dynasty and sent him to the Forbidden City, we are very worried that you and he will let China go back to the old way." ”

"Keqiang, there is a way that is not in his position, not in his politics. Yang Jingcheng can win the world in eight years, he knows very well what he wants to do, what he should do, and what he can't do. Now that the country has been decided, everyone is working together to build the country and resist foreign aggression, and it is actually very unnecessary to talk about what the country is more advanced. Mr. Sun has been devoted to the republic for many years, and I have known it for a long time, but Mr. Sun can't be devoted to the republic alone, and our whole country will be devoted to the republic, right? Otherwise, is this country all ours, or Mr. Sun alone?

The Revival Society now occupies most of the provinces in the country, but it is not proud of its achievements. In the current Provisional Congress, many of those delegates are not members of the Renaissance Society; The state system and constitution are now being discussed by the Provisional Diet, and the Revival Council has not interfered much at all, and in good conscience, it is already commendable to do so. If Mr. Sun is still dissatisfied with this, then he can write a letter to the Provisional Parliament, or persuade a few members of the Provisional Diet to ask them to propose a republican bill, which is the solution. Sun Wen was unreasonable, Yang Du could only say it very publicly, but this made Sun Wen even more annoyed.

"What kind of provisional Congress, or is it an illegal Congress that the Revival Association will find dozens of people to transport to Beijing!" Sun Wen said angrily, "The League has revolted ten times and paid a lot for the revolution, but now except for Song Dunchu, there is no temporary councillor, this is what Huizi said? And I have to see Yang Jingcheng more than a dozen times, and the people under him are all prevaricating, isn't this difficulty called no one in sight? ”

"Then Mr. Sun, when was the Alliance formed, and when was the Revival Society founded? Since the revival of Hangzhou, it has been fighting to the death with the Manchus, what is the League doing? Yang Du was also angry when he said that the Provisional Congress was illegal, "The Renaissance Society was established two years earlier than the Alliance, and most of the provinces in the country were recovered by the Renaissance Society, so where will the Alliance be recovered?" ”

Yang Du's question only made Sun Wen speechless, and Huang Xing stood up when he saw this: "Huizi, no matter what you say, Yixian has been fighting for the revolution for seventeen years, and he is the first person known to be a revolutionary; Although the League did not recover that province, how can you ...... if any righteous assassination did not shake the Qing court since its establishment? How can you ......"

"Now the Guangdong parliamentarians have proposed to posthumously recognize Yang Quyun, the founder of the Furen Literary Society, as the first person of the Chinese Revolution, and his mausoleum has also been proposed to be moved to the Beijing National Cemetery, and his birthplace in Xin'an County, Guangdong Province, will also be renamed Quyun County as a commemoration." Yang Du said, "Mr. Sun has been a revolutionary for many years. The League has also cited righteousness many times, these are all facts, but the first person said. There is no need to mention the huge sacrifice, because when the martyrs' pensions were paid last month, neither the martyrs of the Renaissance Society nor the martyrs of the Alliance were treated equally. ”

As soon as Yang Du mentioned Yang Quyun, Sun Wen's mind was confused, and he didn't hear a word of what he said later, but Huang Xing listened to the whole paragraph. His face suddenly turned gray. The alliance will not occupy an inch of land, and now only Sun Wen's reputation can be used, and most of this reputation is blown. Among them, the most enthusiastic are Miyazaki and Feng Freedom.

In their article, Sun Wen, a foot doctor who graduated from a third-rate medical school, is called a doctor; Hongmen's overseas relations are said to be all over Europe and the United States. The most outrageous thing is that Miyazaki trumpeted Sun Wen as the savior of China, the hope of Asia, and the gospel of the yellow race. After Gengzi, the national character is all about admiring the foreign and flattering. It is still unprecedented, and it is still unheard of by a foreigner to praise the Chinese in this way, and Miyazaki's monstrous article has had a great impact. But now, the Fuxing Association has joined forces with the Furen Literary Society to use Yang Quyun to destroy such a reputation, which is tantamount to digging up the roots of the Alliance.

"Huizi, I want to see Yang Jingcheng!" Huang Xing said anxiously, "They can't do this!" ”

Yang Du is Yang Rui's confidant, but he is only responsible for the bright side. On the dark side, Cen Chi was in charge, and he didn't know what Huang Xing was talking about. Hearing this, he said: "What can't be done, the proposal has already been voted on." ”

"It's a conspiracy!" Huang Xing shouted loudly, "The next step is that the people of the Furen Literary Society will say that Yixian instructed someone to assassinate Yang Quyun, and they did this to ruin Yixian's reputation. ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was so anxious, Yang Du smiled and said, "What kind of conspiracy is not a conspiracy, Yang Jingcheng cares about everything, that is, regardless of justice, if Mr. Sun is suspected of assassination, then find a lawyer to respond to the lawsuit, if there is, there is, if there is no, there is none, with a clear conscience." The difficulty is that because you are a revolutionary leader, you can not abide by the law, this is what Mr. Sun said about the democratic republic? ”

"Yang Du!!" Sun Wen's face turned blue when he only listened to it on the side, at first he was only thinking about the consequences of Yang Quyun's matter, and finally listened to Yang Du's sarcasm of the Democratic Republic, and he couldn't help but smash the table, but he pointed at Yang Du and really didn't think about what to scold, and finally only scolded "lackey" and turned away.

Sun Wen left, Huang Xing hurriedly pulled Yang Du and said, "Huizi, I want to see Yang Jingcheng, you must help with this!" ，”

Yang Du didn't know how Sun Wen could be in such an atmosphere, and when he saw Huang Xing again, he had to say, "Brother Keqiang, I'll try my best to arrange it, but I'm really sure if I don't see him." ”

What happened in Yang Du's apartment in Xihuamen was quickly reported to Yang Rui, and half an hour after receiving the news, Yang Du came to the door to ask for a meeting, and told him what happened before and what Huang Xing asked to see.

According to the staff Cen Chi, if you want to become a king, you must not only hide your thoughts, so as not to deliberately cater to your subordinates, but also hide your behavior, and keep it mysterious in order to make your subordinates fearful, so that if something goes wrong, you can put the responsibility on the minister, after all, the king has always been omniscient and omnipotent.

Cen Chi's control of management is very reasonable, which is extremely effective in ancient times when the degree of culture and organization was not high, but Yang Rui was extremely resistant to such things, he didn't want to make a plaque to be hung up by everyone, and at the same time, because he wanted to keep it mysterious, he let his subordinates do evil outside, and he would rather choose to do things and pretend to be a god, which only made Cen Chi very disappointed.

Yang Rui opened the door to deal with official business, but he didn't see any of those people in the Alliance, especially Sun Wen, who never paid attention to them. He felt that he and Sun Wen were completely from two worlds, but now that Huang Xing asked to see him alone, he was a little hesitant. If this Hunan mule pulls him, he may be able to pull him out of Sun Wen's side, if this is the case, then Sun Wen will be even more alone.

"I can see Huang Keqiang." Yang Rui said, "However, there are a lot of people to see every day now, and the holidays have not stopped, and there is no time these days, probably ......" He said that he wanted to call Chen Guangshou here, but now that Chen Guangshou has gone to the ministry, the new secretary he can't remember the name for a while, so he has to say: "Within three days." Okay, I have other things to talk to you about, but I still have guests to meet, so if you're okay, just wait here for a while. ”

Yang Du came here to help Huang Xingtong news, and now he was happy to see Yang Rui agree, although he was curious about who Yang Rui, who had never seen guests on vacation, would meet, but he still didn't ask anything, and promised to wait here. Yang Rui only settled him down, but returned to the room just now and talked to the guests just now. Yang Rui never saw a guest on holidays, but he was not a guest today.

Now sitting in the living room is except for a Jiangxi parliamentarian. There is also a middle-aged man named Yang Maocai who is nearly forty or fifty years old, and the parliamentarians do not mention it, although this Yang Maocai is just a private school gentleman. But according to Yang Rui's forged character information, he should be his distant cousin.

Before the success of the revolution, Yang Rui's identity had always been very secretive, no one knew where his ancestral home was, and he only asked his subordinates to secretly investigate his hometown in his memory in the name of remembering the old and looking for his ancestors, but in order not to let anyone discover the secret. He didn't dare to say many things explicitly, and only told the Military Intelligence Bureau about the family and what he heard from his father. Although the information is incomplete, the Yang family in Nan'an Mansion was found. But who his relatives were, he still doesn't know.

In this way, it was not until the 26th day of the sixth lunar month that the revival meeting was launched in one fell swoop to seize the world, and his identity and origin became widely known. Yang Jiaben knew nothing about the revolution, but now the newspapers actually said that the revolutionary leader was a self-additive. And the revolutionary troops who occupied the county were still very polite to themselves. said that this is the hometown of Mr. Jingcheng, and this clan that has not raised children for hundreds of years was suddenly overjoyed.

After the situation was clear, the patriarch Yang Dashun immediately convened everyone to discuss, and there were two opinions, one was the proposal of Yang Quanfu, who was about to enter the earth, saying that even if the old Yang family came out of the emperor, he still wanted him to come back in person to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and there was no reason for the old Yang family to take the initiative to go to Beijing to find everyone's relatives;

The other is Yang Maoliang of the Shaozhuang faction. He found several gentlemen to read the information about Yang Jingcheng in the newspaper, and he also personally asked the new county magistrate of the county government. It is completely certain that Yang Jingcheng is the Yang family. His opinion was that it was a crime to kill the head in the old dynasty to make a revolution, and now the new dynasty is at war with the Orientals, and people have no time to come back to find their ancestors. Although he will seek his ancestors in the future, the primary and secondary schools in the county are funded by others, and they are free for students surnamed Yang, which is not forgetting his ancestors. Now at this time, he has to take the initiative to go to Beijing to find someone, and if he really wants to climb up to his relatives, the old Yang family will be rich and noble from now on.

One advocated waiting for someone to come to the door, one advocated taking the initiative to find someone, and finally Yang Quanfu, who was even difficult to breathe, did not say Yang Maoliang, and the ancestral hall meeting decided to send someone to Beijing to recognize relatives, but no one in the old Yang family had a reputation, and finally had to pull the distant Xiucai Yang Maocai over, and then a month later, Yang Maocai arrived in the capital. He didn't go to Prince Zheng's mansion to recognize his relatives, but first went to the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and first found a relationship to meet Jiangxi Councilor Zeng Youlan, who is a native of Changning County, and is considered half a fellow villager, so he paved the way for recognizing relatives.

At this time, relatives came to the door, and according to the founding ceremony that Yang Rui watched when he was a child, it seemed that he should have come to fight the autumn wind. If there is no problem with his identity, then he can naturally be selfless, but now that his identity in his hometown is undecided, he really wants to offend his relatives, then the origin information he fabricated may be exposed by the Yang family.

Nan'an Mansion is located inland, the old Yang family is also farmers, how can there be people who go abroad, and in this era, a man will be on the family tree, the place where the old Yang family is located has never been flooded for decades, and the secret is not revealed to Liu Boyuan, Yang Rui can't make any fakes, and the only way is to buy the people of the old Yang family.

When Yang Rui went out, Zeng Youlan only felt that this time he came to the right place, although Yang Rui hadn't said a few words, but just looking at his eyebrows and eyes were a little similar to Yang Mao, this similarity did not mean that the appearance was similar, but that the charm was similar, so as soon as he saw Yang Rui come in, he got up and bowed and said: "Mr. Cheng has been a revolution for half his life, floating overseas, and Uncle Ling has not seen him for many years, he must have a lot to say, I, I better say goodbye first." ”

Seeing him like this, Yang Rui also replied, "I am very pleased to be able to reunite with my relatives after decades, and I still have to thank Master Zeng this time." After saying that, he took a business card from the secretary and said, "If Master Zeng has something to do in the future, you can come to me." ”

Yang Rui personally thanked him, which only made Zeng Youlan happy in his heart, and then saw that he gave Zhang a prayer post again, and began to be a little incoherent, and after taking the worship post, he didn't know what to say and left.

Yang Rui also felt funny when he saw him like this, this Zeng Youlan did not have any illustrious family background, only in 05 years or so, he was admitted to Japan at the official fee to study in Japan, Waseda majored in law, graduated in 08, in fact, international students at this time are not very popular, but after all, he is a serious university, not a crash course class can be compared, it took two years to go through the relationship and was finally reported by the school as a person in the law and politics department. The Jiangxi side of the Fuxing Association elected representatives, and many people either did not read Xinxue, or had deep family ties, or their political positions were unclear, so they finally elected him. Temporary member of the Provisional Congress, although Zeng Youlan was elected, but only temporary, he also knew that there were a lot of people waiting for him to lose the election in the official Congress, and he dreamed of trying to find a way to get in touch.

After Zeng Youlan left, Yang Rui only asked the secretary to go out to wait, and then saluted Yang Maocai, pretending to be excited, "Yang Rui has been outside, and I only saw my uncle today...... This ......"

Yang Rui's words were excited, and Yang Maocai hurriedly came over to help him when he saluted, and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, the revolution is not easy, and it should be a great luck for my uncle and nephew to see each other today." You are now a revolutionary leader, you can't care about your family and your country, you can't have both loyalty and filial piety, don't be sad, don't be sad. ”

Yang Mao was able to send to the capital to recognize that the old Yang family was indeed looking for the right person, although the memories of those hometowns that Yang Rui said were full of mistakes and omissions, but he still pretended not to know, and said yes one by one in front of Zeng Youlan, now the two are alone, and they don't break the matter, as for who the old Yang family went to the sea, only God knows.

After the uncle and nephew finished their polite exchanges, they just waited for them to sit down, and Yang Rui said: "Xianjun died of illness in Honolulu, USA, when I was seven years old, and the appearance of Sang Zi in Xianjun's words is very vague, but Yangjia Village, the moat of Nan'an Fucheng, is not mistaken. Now I also know that the memories of the generations and clansmen are very inaccurate, so I will ask my uncle to repair a book to the clan and help find out. ”

Hearing Yang Rui say that Yangjia Village was cut off without mistake, Yang Mao suddenly knew that Yang Rui was bent on leaving the household in the old Yang family, so he said quietly: "Don't worry, I will write a letter back overnight, and let a few princes in the clan sort out the family tree and sort out the eldest brother's lineage." ”

"That's good! That's good! Yang Rui made up his mind for a moment, and then said: "Although the country is initially decided, there is still the possibility of instability, although Yang Rui is a revolutionary leader, it is not easy for accidents." When the family tree is managed in the hometown, it is still necessary to be foolproof, and the family is harmonious, and I am so at ease in the capital. ”

"Yes, yes. Although the old Yang family is not a big ancestral hall, it has always been harmonious, and if you want to do the genealogy, it is better for me to go back and do it in person, and you can rest assured. Yang Maocai said happily, he is really a good nephew in the world.

Seeing that Yang Maocai was so sensible, Yang Rui made up his mind, although he had expected that it would not be difficult to recognize relatives, but it would be a trouble to really meet those unreasonable relatives. At this time, when he saw a qiē shun lì, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle is really hard to go back and forth, it's better to stay in the capital for a few months, and wait for the weather to be cooler before leaving." (To be continued......)
