Zhang Huanrong exited Cai Yuanpei's mansion nervously, the car had just gone out, but he saw Ding Kaizhang's car coming head-on, he should let the driver brake sharply, opened the door and hurriedly ran over. He didn't wait to get in the car and asked, "What did Mr. Dunchu say?" ”

Ding Kaizhang was his classmate in Beijing Normal University in his early years, and he also felt that China must be a republic, and Ding Kaizhang was responsible for picking up the plane when he came to Beijing this time. After entering the city, he went to Cai Yuanpei's mansion, and Ding Kaizhang went to Song Jiaoren's mansion, because before Cai Yuanpei gave a clear answer, he hoped that Song Jiaoren's side could give a foundation first.

But he was obviously disappointed, Ding Kaizhang shook his head, and said with a sad face: "It didn't work out." Mr. Dunchu didn't believe that Zhang Taiyan and Qiu Jin would rebel from the beginning, he said that they were high-minded and upright, and it was impossible for them to do such a rebellious thing; He also said that although Yang Jingcheng is autocratic, what can be practiced is open-door autocracy, and Yang Jingcheng is really going to die, and the whole country will definitely be in chaos. He finally kicked me out and told me to stop talking nonsense, or he would have to call the patrol station. ”

"What?!" Zhang Huanrong was shocked, the Kuomintang is also the second largest party, although there are only two parties in the United Republic. However, if there is civil strife in the revival meeting, it will definitely be beneficial to the Kuomintang, and Song Jiaoren's reaction made him puzzled.

Ding Kaizhang fully knew whether the matter would succeed or not would be today and tomorrow, seeing Zhang Huanrong shocked, he couldn't help grabbing his arm and said: "Yin Hua, the Kuomintang side is a branch, according to the plan, Mr. Xiaomin's side is the key, only his prestige can suppress the scene, otherwise the country will really be in turmoil because of this, you and I are sinners through the ages!" ”

Mr. Xiao Min did not agree on the spot. He said he was going to think about it. Zhang Huanrong said, and then sighed. Hey, General Duan's ......"

"Don't think about General Duan's side. Only when Mr. Xiao Min took advantage of the emptiness of the capital to raise his arms and shout, there was hope for what we were planning, and when the time came, not only General Duan would send troops to help, but other provinces would also respond with electricity. "Ding Kaizhang is the most familiar with the area of Beijing and Tianjin, and knows that Duan Qirui is only hopeless, and only when the people in the revival association come forward can there be hope for major events.

He was talking here, but he saw the gate of Cai's Mansion wide open, and a yellow flag official car turned the corner. Went in the other direction. Seeing this, Zhang Huanrong couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Mr. Xiaomin must have gone to discuss with Mr. Zixun, so let's wait outside the house." ”

Cai Yuanpei was looking for Yu Zixun, and he originally wanted to call, but the matter was too important, and he felt that it was better to talk in person. After Yu Zixun returned to Beijing, he lived in the outer city, and the small car in the alley couldn't get in, so he had to walk for a short distance to get to Yu Zixun's house. After hurriedly pulling Yu Zixun into the study and closing the doors and windows, Cai Yuanpei said: "Zixun, the northeast side has been controlled. The rest of the people who went to the meeting were also controlled, and now Qingyuan wants us to echo him in Beijing, announcing that Qiu Jin, Zhang Taiyan and others have rebelled, and that they will immediately take over the capital. Takeover of the General Staff ......"

Fortunately, Yu Zixun had met Qi Qingyuan in person, and he probably knew his plan over there, otherwise he really didn't know what Cai Yuanpei was talking about. After he was silent for a while, he didn't answer Cai Yuanpei's question, but just sighed: "Qingyuan really did it......"

"Oops. You don't care if he does it or not, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Now there are only two members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of Beijing, Uncle Mei and Xu Guantian of the Peasant Association, as long as we can persuade Xu Guantian to arrest Uncle Mei, then we can take over the whole country! Cai Yuanpei thought of that scene, and there was only light in his eyes.

"Bad people!" Yu Zixun was not as optimistic as him, he only reminded: "It's not so easy to deal with, you can guarantee that he won't leave anything behind?" Besides, Qingyuan can actually do this kind of thing...... he, he, he is going to hell!! ”

"What goes to hell?!" Cai Yuanpei was a little disdainful, "Since ancient times, he has been a thief of the hook and a thief of the country, as long as things can be done, who will account for how you can achieve things?" We don't have to say what Qingyuan is, the most important thing now is to persuade Xu Guantian, and then he will control the Inspectorate remotely, once the Inspectorate listens to us, then no matter what happens, we can declare a state of emergency in the name of the Inspectorate, and then take over the entire country. ”

The General Staff only controls the army, and if you want to be justifiable, the Inspectorate is indispensable. This is the highest point of power in the country, and the best thing is that the Inspectorate is a puppet, worse than a fart, Yang Rui can manipulate, and Cai Yuanpei, who is one of the Standing Committee members of the Renaissance Association, can also manipulate, and even if Yang Rui is still alive, he can declare it unconstitutional and arrest him through the Inspectorate.

As for the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Council, the Politburo, another powerful organization, it can also be suppressed by the Inspectorate. He came up with the two-faced approach of exercising the powers of the Revival Society with regard to the Reconstruction Council and exercising the powers of the state, that is, the Inspectorate, with the Political Bureau of the Reconstruction Society. However, the purpose of the research at that time was not to coup d'état at all, but to understand how Yang Rui was dictatorial, so as to provoke the anger of young people to join the brotherhood.

This is how to play, Yu Zixun still didn't worry about Yang Rui after thinking about this, he asked again: "If we really do this, how will we deal with it, will it cause a civil war?" Also, what kind of pumping did he make in his brain, and he would suddenly summon everyone to go to Tonghua for a meeting? ”

Cai Yuanpei couldn't say that Qi Qingyuan promised to kill Yang Rui, but said, "Zixun, have you forgotten the second one?" Seeing that he was puzzled, he had no choice but to explain: "At that time, the revolution suffered losses, and it turned out to be a different way, intending to implement the policy of encircling the cities from the countryside, but the delegates at the Second National Congress not only did not agree, but also did not understand, so they immediately dragged everyone to the Huai River disaster area and persuaded the representatives of the provinces at once.

This time, he actually didn't approve of the separation, and he suddenly summoned everyone to Tonghua, I think it was probably similar to the Second Congress, he wanted to give a speech in front of the martyrs' spirits and let everyone give up the fiefdom. I don't want Qingyuan to ...... a long time ago, he is not at all prepared! Zixun, you can't say that we are provoking the whole thing, it's just that he pushed those corrupt people too much, causing them to jump over the wall. If we don't come forward, Qingyuan and the others, who are difficult to ride a tiger, really don't know what they will do. Only when we have mastered the center and gone to Tonghua will those people have a way to live! ”

From another point of view, what Cai Yuanpei said is not unreasonable. Yu Zixun closed his eyes for a while, and then said, "Then what should we do?" ”

"I'll go find Xu Guantian right away. Either intimidate or persuade, let him come to our side. As soon as he came, the Inspectorate was on our side; You should immediately go to Mr. Reinsch and ask him to come forward to negotiate with the ambassadors of various countries and Washington, and in the event of turmoil in our country, perhaps our ally Japan will send troops to intervene, and they must have supported it, and only Britain and the United States and other countries can prevent the Japanese from intervening; And then there's the Brotherhood, you have to inform everyone right away and get ready to ......"

"When we die, we will go to hell!" Yu Zixun shook his head. His face was full of pain. His expression was like this, and the person also stood up, prayed sincerely for a while at the cross hanging on the wall of the study, and finally said: "You go and persuade Xu Guantian first, if Xu Guantian really agrees to stand on our side......." Ay! This is really immoral, I hope we can establish a republic, but it must not be like this! ”

"You!" It's already a moment, and Yu Zixun still talks about indifferent morality. Cai Yuanpei was suddenly furious, and he retorted: "Zixun, where is the time to talk about morality now!" Now is the time for you to live and die, who is bloodier than whom, who is more shameless than whom! Morality can only be said to the gentlemen in the United States and Europe. In China you can only talk about shameless!!

If we don't do it now, he will show mercy to those of us if he reverses the situation?! Do you know that Uncle Mei has already told the Brotherhood about the Brotherhood, and now he is only at odds with Uncle Mei Xuanqing because of the separation. When the contradiction between them is resolved, the next thing he will do is naturally deal with us. Now is not the time for moral righteousness. Not only now, but for thousands of years, the only truth in this land has been the success of kings and defeats! The winner is king! It's shameless and indecent!! You don't want to stay in the United States for too long and think that this place is the United States. ”

It was extremely hesitant. But Cai Yuanpei's refutation made Yu Zixun, who was originally hesitant, settle down, and he immediately retorted loudly: "Because of this, we can't jump into this whirlpool, ignore the little bit of order and moral destruction that was originally established, and once again prove that shamelessness and gore are the only truth in this land, and morality and benevolence are just bullshit!"

If we really collude with Qi Qingyuan's corrupt criminals, then what is our ideal? What is the difference between us and Sun Wen and Jingcheng?! Will the democracy we have gained in this way be real democracy? The republic obtained in this way will be a true republic?! Wake up, unscrupulous people. No matter how bad it is, he has also set the rules of governing the country according to law, but what rules can Qi Qingyuan set for them? They will only destroy the existing rules and rebuild a tyranny that is bloodier, more brutal and more shameless than the current one!! ”

After yelling, Yu Zixun quickly calmed down, but Cai Yuanpei looked at him as if he never knew him. "Son, please go back, I don't agree with this matter. I will not go to Mr. Reinsch, nor will I call on all knights in the name of the archangel to join in the rebellion, this is a stain on the knights, on the brotherhood! Mr. Yung Wing: Heaven is knowledgeable and uneasy. ”

"What if I have to participate?" Cai Yuanpei didn't expect this result at all, he was full of disheart after anger, and then he was unwilling because of his discouragement.

"Then you go for it. I'm not worried about anything, Dali Temple will prove me innocent! Yu Zixun said.

"You ......" Cai Yuanpei saw that he was like this, and had to remind again: "Once Jingcheng or someone else is in power, you won't be able to go to Dali Temple at all, you will only be like those suspects in the previous purge of the Great Purge, tortured and humiliated and finally hanged yourself!" ”

"I'm not going to hang myself, I'm going to hell!" Yu Zixun was silent, he suddenly got up and opened the door of the study, and said, "Xiaomin, please go back." I'm not going to report you, but the Brotherhood and I will never be involved in such an ugly thing, which goes against the basic principles of knighthood! ”

"Then you're going to die!!" Cai Yuanpei scolded viciously and walked away, only to see him disappear into the night as thick as a mountain.

"Sir, where are we going next? Is it going home? Cai Yuanpei, whose face was full of frost, didn't dare to mess with anyone, and the secretary Xu Baohuang had to ask after the car drove for a long time.

"Back to ......," Cai Yuanpei wanted to rest the coup d'état, but the unwillingness in his heart made him change the tone of his mouth, he coughed, and then said: "Go to Xu Guantian's mansion, if Xu Guantian agrees to come, then we will gamble!" ”

"Yes, sir!" As a rare confidant, Xu Baohuang knows almost all of Cai Yuanpei's secrets. Listen to Cai Yuanpei's orders. Xu Baohuang immediately asked the driver to turn.

Xu Guantian, one of the seven members of the Standing Committee of the Revival Society, was the least powerful and prestigious of all the members, and his title was based on military merit. From the moment he joined the revolution, he focused only on the work of the peasant association, taking into account that no nobleman could be the president of the general peasant association. So this time the partition has nothing to do with him at all. It is precisely like this, when he heard that Tonghua Qiu Jin and the joint garrison launched a rebellion, he couldn't help but feel a little happy while sweating on his back, in order to hide his inner uneasiness, he immediately said: "Xuanqing is indeed like a person with different aspirations, usually shouting in the poem 'fight for 100,000 skull blood, must save the Qiankun'......;

"Haha......" Xu Guantian's ability to join the Standing Committee was originally the result of Yang Rui's support, but he was just an outsider in the Revival Association. And because he is the manipulator of the Inspectorate, many people look down on him. Hearing that he was still minding about the previous matter, Cai Yuanpei immediately smiled, and he said: "Guantian, the most important thing now is to arrest Zhang Taiyan immediately, and then take over the Taiwei Mansion, and then let the Inspectorate issue an emergency order to announce the national military management, only like this." Only then can the country be stable. ”

"What about the prime minister, the prime minister won't save him?" Cai Yuanpei didn't mention the Tonghua rescue at all, which made Xu Guantian very suspicious.

Cai Yuanpei saw him ask Yang Rui, and only said, "Guantian." What is important to the Prime Minister and the country? If the prime minister really suffers misfortune, as long as the capital is not controlled by the rebels, then there is still hope for the country; If the capital is also mastered by Uncle Mei. And what about rescuing the Prime Minister? If you don't talk about saving the prime minister, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to save our lives. ”

He said that Xu Guantian was still puzzled. He said again, "Guantian, you have to think that I lied to you. You can now send a telegram to confirm whether the prime minister is under house arrest by Qiu Jin and others. ”

Cai Yuanpei, who has no power or position, is just a soy sauce fighter, while Qiu Jin is in control of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Security Bureau, and all the armed forces outside the Taiwei Mansion are controlled by her. It is believed that Qiu Jin launched a rebellion Xu Guantian has this power, but if it is said that Cai Yuanpei launched a rebellion, then he will never believe it. If the prime minister is controlled, then in today's China, only Qiu Jin can have this ability. Thinking about this section, Xu Guantian was no longer polite, and hastily wrote a few telegrams and immediately sent them to Tonghua, he wanted to confirm the truth of what Cai Yuanpei said. Half an hour later, one of the interrogation messages really arrived in Qiu Jin's hands.

"Sir, Xu Guantian from Beijing is calling, he accuses us of imprisoning the prime minister and launching a rebellion!" Yin Weijun read the telegram directly.

"He's making trouble!" Qiu Jin is already anxious. A few days ago, she heard that Yang Rui wanted to persuade everyone to stop the partition bill, so she had to drag Wang Ji and others to chase her from Beijing. thought it was just a trivial matter, but now he found that Yang Rui did not compromise at all, and even said that there was no place to die, and Qi Qingyuan's side was also about to lose hope, if he really wanted to despair completely, maybe he really wanted to take a risk - at this time, Qiu Jin didn't know that Tonghua Airport had long been controlled by Qi Qingyuan, except for Yang Rui, any other generals who came here for a meeting, as well as Xie Zhangtai, Xu Huafeng and others were imprisoned as soon as they got off the plane.

"And how are we going to get back to him?!" Yin Weijun asked.

"Tell him that we are negotiating with the prime minister," Qiu Jin said subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and changed his words: "Tell him that there is no such thing, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I see." Yin Weijun quickly drafted the telegram, and then asked Qiu Jin to sign it.

"Still not working?" After Qiu Jin signed his name, he unconsciously added another sentence.

"Yes, it is said that it is the cause of weather interference, and it will be used in a few days. Fortunately, the cable telegraph was connected. Yin Weijun replied casually, and then turned around and went to the telegraph room to send a report.

The telegrams were exchanged, and when Xu Guantian in Beijing received the call, it was already an hour after the decoding. After listening to the secretary's report in the study, he hurried to the living room, Cai Yuanpei, who had not eaten, was nibbling on a few pastries at this time, and when he saw him coming, he immediately got up and patted those crumbs, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and he forced a smile: "Brother Guantian, how is the situation?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Guantian was silent for a while, and then nodded for a while. The telegram that Qiu Jin replied was handed to Cai Yuanpei by him, and he said: "The radio is not working, and the cable telegram is completely controlled by Qiu Jin, so there is only her callback, Brother Xiaomin, we should notify the local military and police immediately......"

"What local military police to notify?" Cai Yuanpei was extremely pleased, "The local military police and her are all in the same group. She is pressuring the prime minister at this time, once the prime minister refuses to agree to her request, then the capital will rebel! Brother Kanta. We must make a decision immediately to arrest Uncle Zhang. Ensure the safety of the capital! ”

Seeing that Xu Guantian was still uncertain, Cai Yuanpei said again: "Now there are only three Standing Committee members in Beijing. Even if Uncle Mei is wronged, the two of us have the power to declare martial law in the whole city due to the tension of the situation, which is completely in line with the regulations of the organization. As for whether they are really rebelling, it's not too late to screen them when the situation stabilizes! ”

Xu Guantian couldn't be impressed, but an organizational regulation made him relieved, and he said, "Okay, then we'll do things according to the organization's regulations." I immediately called Uncle Mei to come over. What do you think? ”

"Good!" Seeing that Xu Guantian only dared to do these things that did not offend people, Cai Yuanpei was not easy to stop, but he got up and said: "Since it is in accordance with the rules of the organization, it is not inappropriate to deal with it in this way." However, I had to call home first, so that if Uncle Yi made a move, the family would not panic. ”

Seeing that Xu Guantian was still suspicious of himself, he just smiled on his face, so he dialed the phone number at home under Xu Guantian's nose. Then he said into the microphone: "Zhongyu, I am a min." Yes..., I'm at home now, yes.... Yes..., you may come back late in the evening, or you may not come back. Right... Right. That's right. Zhang Yinhua, who is waiting for me to reply outside, you go and tell him. I want his fur goods, but he must deliver them in time. Don't go wrong...; And you and the children, don't run around tonight, and don't go out no matter what happens outside! Yes..., must remember, must remember!! ”

What was said on the phone was all family matters, Xu Guantian avoided suspicion and retreated after listening to two sentences, and after a while, he came in and said, "Then now let's call Uncle Mei to confront him?" ”

"Of course, the prime minister is deeply trapped in Tonghua, Uncle Mei and Xuanqing are responsible, the partition bill was pushed by him and Xuanqing to pass, Xuanqing chased Tonghua in order to prevent the prime minister, it must be the prime minister who refused to agree to her request during the negotiations, and she had no choice but to put the prime minister under house arrest and implement military advice." Cai Yuanpei remade up a set of lies on the basis of Zhang Huanrong, and Xu Guantian was convinced. The two waited for about half an hour before Zhang Taiyan arrived in a hurry.

"Uncle Mei, the prime minister is under house arrest in Tonghua, I don't know if I live or die, what do you and Xuanqing want to do?" Cai Yuanpei was the first to speak, and as soon as he said it, Zhang Taiyan's face changed greatly.

"How is this possible!" Zhang Taiyan suddenly became excited, he remembered that Qiu Jin was obviously going to persuade Yang Rui. "It's simply impossible! Xuanqing, she couldn't do such a thing! ”

"That's true." Xu Guantian nodded and said, "I wanted to contact the prime minister just now, but I couldn't get in touch at all!" And I blamed Xuanqing, and Xuanqing said that I was talking nonsense. Now there are only three of us in the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of Beijing, and Comrade Xiao Min and I have unanimously agreed that, in view of the complicity between you and Qiu Jin in the partition bill, the organizational decision is to put you under house arrest for the time being, and then declare martial law in the whole city, in case of rebellion in the capital. ”

"You ......, you ......" heard the bad news as soon as he came, and then framed himself for rebellion, and Zhang Taiyan's lungs were about to explode. He scolded: "You are a great rebel, I think you are going to start a rebellion!" ”

"Uncle Mei, this is an organizational decision, when the prime minister comes back and the truth is revealed, the situation will naturally recover!" Cai Yuanpei wanted to laugh very much, but he suppressed it, and his face was extremely distorted. He silently recited the 'organizational decision' in his heart again, and felt that this was the magic weapon for him to control the capital and then the whole country with normal procedures tonight.

When Zhang Taiyan scolded angrily, the pre-arranged guards of the Xu Mansion immediately held him down and cuffed him. Although Zhang Taiyan didn't bring guards when he came, but there were personal guards, the guards waiting outside heard Zhang Taiyan's call for help and immediately kicked open the door and rushed in, seeing that Zhang Taiyan had been handquartered, one of them immediately pulled out his gun in anger and said: "What do you want to do?!" Let go of the Prime Minister immediately! ”

didn't expect Zhang Taiyan's guards to rush in, and he pulled out his gun and glared, Xu Guantian was immediately shocked, but at this time, Cai Yuanpei, who was happy in his heart, was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he shouted: "Presumptuous! This is a meeting of the Standing Committee, do you still have discipline? Temporary control of Vice Premier Zhang is an organizational decision, do you want to oppose the organization and the Renaissance Society? ”

As soon as Cai Yuanpei said 'organizational decision', the muzzles of several fierce guards suddenly hung down weakly, and Zhang Taiyan shouted when he saw this: "Bullshit organization decision!" It's just the two of you now, and you're ......doing it on purpose."

As soon as Zhang Taiyan spoke, the muzzle of the guard's gun was raised a few points, Cai Yuanpei saw that this was not good, and immediately shouted again, pointing at him and shouting: "You are unorganized and undisciplined!" Even more lawless! He then asked the four gun-wielding guards in a loud voice: "As a revival member, comrades, what are the four criteria for a revival member?" ”

"The interests of the country are above all else." Hearing that Cai Yuanpei asked the members about the four standards, the guards had to put away their guns and stand upright.

"And what?! Say it louder!! Cai Yuanpei shouted again, interrupting Zhang Taiyan, who wanted to speak.

"Abide by the discipline of the meeting and strictly abide by the secrets of the meeting; Implementing organizational resolutions against all odds; ...... for the people wholeheartedly" As a revival member, these four basic standards of membership are well known. Cai Yuanpei heard that they had recited the third article, and immediately shouted: "Okay! Now that you know that you have to carry out the organization's resolutions against all odds, what are you doing now? What do you want to do?! Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the council?!! The more Cai Yuanpei spoke, the more angry he became, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said sharply: "Get out of here!" (To be continued.) )
