"How dare you bother Mr. Zhang to come here? Yuan Su is really scared. Welcome to Reading [ ]" Yuan Su said politely first.
"You are so polite, Governor Yuan. The President specially asked me to welcome Governor Yuan back to the north. Governor Yuan must have been tired from traveling for the past few days. He sent a telegram from Shanghai earlier. Governor Yuan wanted to return to Luanzhou as soon as possible, so he
The president ordered us to settle down at the Daqianmen first, and a train will be available in a few days to facilitate Governor Yuan's return journey." Zhang Yichen said with a slight smile.
When setting off from Shanghai, Yuan Su did send a telegram to make arrangements. He originally planned to stay in Beijing for a few more days, at least to find out the progress of the dialogue between Song Jiaoren and his uncle Yuan Shikai. But when he looked back, he thought again,
At this time, he may not be qualified to intervene in this matter, not to mention whether there is any progress, it will be announced sooner or later, which is understandable. He just has to rush back to Luanzhou to handle the official business that he has accumulated before, and by the way, he also needs to take care of Yu Xiao
The fish matter is over.
"That's great, but I will stay in the capital for two or three days for the time being, and I will visit my uncle again when I have time." Yuan Su said.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine. I will arrange all this later. Does Governor Yuan still need to take care of it? If not, we will move to the place where we are staying to see if it suits Governor Yuan's wishes."
Zhang Yichen said while changing the subject.
"Anywhere, as long as there is a place to stay." Yuan Su said with a smile.
Then Yuan Su made some explanations to his entourage. Zhang Yiqi also left several entourages from the Presidential Palace, and later led Yuan Su's guards to the resettlement place. After all the explanations were completed, Yuan Su and
Chen Wennian and four security guards took Zhang Yiqi's car first, and went with Zhang Yiqi to a nearby residence.
Since it was personally arranged by the Presidential Palace, the residence where Yuan Su stayed was naturally of extraordinary quality. It was a small western-style building about ten minutes' drive from the front gate, with gardens and courtyard walls on the outside, and some bungalows in the backyard. [ ] Compared with the previous one,
The manor arranged by Zheng Rucheng in Shanghai should be more grand and refined. According to Zhang Yiqi, this villa is the villa owned by the eldest son Yuan Keding. He occasionally comes here to spend the winter, and it is cleaned and maintained on weekdays.
The motorcade drove into the garden, and there were some servants waiting to greet them at the gate of the villa. After Yuan Su and others got off the car one after another, these servants packed their luggage one by one as instructed.
Zhang Yiqi accompanied Yuan Su into the hall, and the two of them came to sit in front of a closet in the hall next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. By this time, Zhang Yiqi's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but instead changed to a more relaxed one.
He was serious. He didn't show any more politeness, and directly told Chen Wenian, who had been following Yuan Su, that he had some important matters to talk to Yuan Su alone.
Yuan Su immediately asked Chen Wenian to rest first. After everyone around him had left, he asked Zhang Yiyi: "Mr. Zhang, does my uncle have anything important to explain?"
Zhang Yichen nodded and said in a serious tone: "You and Mr. Song Dunchu were attacked at the Shanghai Railway Station. This incident has caused a lot of commotion in the Presidential Palace. Strangely speaking, when I meet you today, it seems that
You didn’t have much concern because of the recent attack, could it be that..."
Yuan Su expected that Zhang Yiyi would ask about this matter, but he did not expect that the other party would take it so seriously. He had previously prepared a detailed report on the shooting and sent it to Beijing, saying
This matter is just a personal grudge, and I have already dealt with what needs to be dealt with. Obviously, the presidential office is not satisfied with this report, or it may have never taken this matter lightly.
"Mr. Zhang, what happened at the Shanghai Railway Station was indeed just an accident. I have made it very clear in the report. If there is anything unclear, you can extract the records from Shanhaiguan at that time. Everything will be clear.
It's well-founded. [ ]" Yuan Su said with an emphasis.
Zhang Yichen fell into deep thought for a while, seeming to be thinking about how to deal with this matter.
After a while, Zhang Yichen sighed and said seriously: "Captain Yuan, I'm afraid you don't know something. This matter is really not trivial. You are responsible for welcoming Mr. Song Dunchu to the north this time. In the report, you
I also mentioned that the train station was heavily guarded at that time, but it was still like this. I never expected that an accident would happen. There are so many unexplainable things in this."
Yuan Su frowned slightly, concentrated for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Zhang, please make it clear that there is nothing controversial about this matter, not to mention that it was an accident in the first place, so it should be settled as soon as possible. Why should the Presidential Palace
If we have to go to war over this matter, it will turn into a big deal in the end. Isn't that not worth the gain?"
Zhang Yichen sighed again and said deeply: "Everyone knows that this matter can't make a big fuss, but some people just want to stir up trouble. After this unexpected incident, those in the capital who don't welcome Song Dunchu will
People and those with key interests all jumped out and danced, hoping to encourage the president to order the army to go south."
Yuan Su gradually understood what Zhang Yichen meant. According to what the other party said, it was obviously the internal forces in Beiyang that were opposed to the Kuomintang. They used this topic to forcefully stir up trouble. Political criticism can be said in any way. Since this time
The target of the attack was Yuan Su, and those people could completely blame it as a conspiracy of the Southern Revolutionary Party. To say the least, even if they were not attacking themselves, those people could still find other reasons to spread rumors and cause trouble.
Zhang Yichen paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "The President is very angry about this matter. Of course, he is not angry with Governor Yuan. After all, this is not something you could have expected. Furthermore, deal with the aftermath.
You have done everything you can, and you have not reserved anything that needs to be explained or announced. But the president never expected that the opposition in the north would be so loud and stubborn, and he was afraid that something unexpected would happen."
Yuan Su nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "I heard about it earlier, but in the end, it's up to my uncle to make the decision. I don't know what happened to this discussion between my uncle and Mr. Song. The Congress will be held in a few days.
On the opening day, I think the whole country and even the envoys from various countries are paying attention to this matter. Likewise, this is an important milestone in the rejuvenation of our Republic of China."
Zhang Yichen looked at Yuan Su carefully. He was considering which sect the young man in front of him belonged to. He had to admit that he didn't know Yuan Su very well. Naturally, he couldn't say some things without preparation.
.Furthermore, the situation in Beijing can be said to be very chaotic now. As the president's secretary, he still has to find ways to record various opinions and report to the president at a dedicated time.
Simply speaking, Yuan Su seems to support the position of political cooperation between the North and the South. However, political cooperation between the North and the South is not as easy as imagined. The fact that the president is willing to meet with Song Jiaoren does not mean that he will give in on some power issues.
.On the contrary, Song Jiaoren's ardent hope to cooperate with the president does not mean that he will condone Beiyang's dictatorship.
"Cooperation" is an easy thing to say, and it is also something that many people expect, but the reason why "cooperation" is mentioned is naturally because there was a fight before. Both parties want to safeguard their own interests."
Cooperation is easier said than done.
"Captain Yuan, to be honest, Mr. Song and the President had very close contacts during this period, and they often discussed national affairs. But most of the time, the President met with Mr. Song alone. Even I don't know the specific situation.
Nowadays, there are divergent opinions within Beiyang, and the president cannot easily make a conclusion, so some things have to be kept low-key and confidential."
"Hey, could this be very difficult?"
"It's hard to say at the moment. If it's difficult, it's just that the influence from the outside world is too serious. From my point of view, the president's contact with Mr. Song is still very pleasant," Zhang Yichen said.
"I hope everything goes well." Yuan Su said with a solemn expression.
However, Yuan Su still firmly believes that his uncle Yuan Shikai is the core leader of Beiyang after all. As long as he can make a decision, it will not be too difficult even if there is more interference from the outside world. Of course, the key still depends on Song Jiaoren
What are you thinking about, and can you temporarily cater to Yuan Shikai's wishes?
It seems unfair to Song Jiaoren to say this, but if he is a mature politician, he should be able to distinguish the current domestic environment. Although the Kuomintang is the largest party in Congress, it is ultimately weak and has no practical
Compared with Beiyang, which not only holds real power but also has strong political capital, the best way for the Kuomintang to realize its political aspirations is to bear the burden of humiliation, first establish good trust, resolve some sharp conflicts, and then proceed step by step
Make changes.
He sighed secretly in his heart, hoping that Song Jiaoren was not a very persistent idealist like what was introduced in the history textbook. Only by being flexible in everything could things go more smoothly.
