Upon seeing Yuan Keding appear, the four people in the room stood up one after another and saluted Yuan Keding politely.
Yuan Keding looked like he was very helpful, and returned the courtesy slightly, then turned around and introduced to Yuan Su: "You have met Xiushan and Yuchen, let me introduce these two to you. Mr. Yang Du, Yang Xizi
, is the most capable staff member around my father and the master of Yan School calligraphy."
There was a slight change in Yuan Su's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself: The number one person in the preparatory committee has been invited. It's really Sima Zhao's heart that everyone knows. But on the surface, he still looks calm. On the contrary
He also showed admiration, shook hands with Yang Du politely, and said in greeting: "It turns out to be the famous Mr. Hu Gong. I have been famous for a long time in my late life. I am really honored to meet you today."
Yang Du has the arrogance of a scholar, but at first he thought that both the president and the eldest son valued this junior of his own race so much that he had to give up some face. Unexpectedly, when they met, the other party would be the first to say this.
He was warm and polite, and suddenly felt very proud of himself. He smiled kindly for a while, waved his hand and said: "Young Master Yuan is too polite. Since we are the eldest young master's clan brothers, we are all members of the same family, and we can just talk about being friends with each other."
Yuan Keding introduced again: "This is Sun Yuyun, Mr. Sun Shaohou. Mr. Sun was one of the backbones of the Tongmenghui at the time. He once personally participated in the Pingliuli Uprising. He is a well-deserved founding hero."
Compared to Yang Du, Yuan Su naturally didn't know Sun Yuyun very well, but he knew more or less that Sun Yuyun was the number two figure in the Security Council. Sun Yuyun was slightly older than Yang Du, but his talent and reputation were not as good as Yang Du's.
When Yuan Su asked him for courtesy, he behaved more easily and naturally.
After the introduction, the five people sat down in order. Yuan Keding specially pulled Yuan Su to sit next to him.
"The banquet held today is just to introduce to you my cousin, Yuan Keli, courtesy name Zijing. I believe you have heard of Keli's reputation. He was responsible for Shanhaiguan disaster relief, and then led the southward expedition.
Suppressing the remnants of the rebel party. He has already made great achievements at a young age." Yuan Keding made a brief opening statement.
Chen Wenyun, Lu Jin, Yang Du, and Sun Yuyun have naturally heard about Yuan Su for a long time, not to mention that this banquet was planned in advance. Even if they have not heard about Yuan Su before, they will put some thought into it before the banquet.
Collect or inquire.
"I hope that after tonight's banquet, your relationship will be further developed. Those of us who often go to temples need a circle of like-minded people at all times. Only in this circle can we brainstorm and resolve small problems.
Even though my brother Keli is often away from the capital, and this is the first time I meet you all today, as I said before, since we are one of our own, there is no need to be too outspoken." Yuan Keding said again.
Everyone followed Yuan Keding's tone and echoed a few more words.
After that, Yuan Keding took the menu and started ordering, almost all of the most expensive dishes in Qingyun Restaurant were ordered.
While waiting for the food to be served, everyone briefly chatted for a few words, mostly discussing the current domestic situation and academic research issues on the national political system. During the chat, Yang Du and Sun Yuyun talked the most.
I have been studying this issue for the whole year, and it is naturally easy to grasp it.
Yuan Su could only occasionally interject a few words, mainly to express his agreement and approval.
Soon, the restaurant workers brought the dishes one after another. Yuan Keding personally poured wine for everyone present. Everyone drank a glass of wine together and said some toasts in a serious manner.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yuan Keding suddenly changed his mind from the topic he had previously discussed and turned to another new topic. Although this new topic was somewhat secretive, a sensible person could easily see through it.
This is a question of testing everyone’s opinions on the current state system.
Lu Jin, Chen Wenyun, Yang Du and others often interacted with Yuan Keding on weekdays, and they knew the thoughts of this eldest son very well. Once the current opinions on the state system were discussed, in other words, they were hinting at changing the current republic.
system. What Yuan Keding wants to do is not the first son of the Republic of China, but the prince of the Yuan family.
Chen Wenyun behaved quite tactfully and did not reveal too much personal meaning. He either relied on other people's remarks to answer, or made ambiguous prevarications. He did not give a single reason, but he showed that
Those who are dissatisfied with the current national system agree that it should be changed to a system that is more suitable for China's current domestic situation.
Lu Jin seemed very direct. Although he did not directly mention "imperialism", he compared some examples from the Japanese, British and French empires one by one. His position was already very obvious.
Yang Du and Sun Yuyun said a lot of high-sounding things in an academic manner. They not only quoted from other sources, but also used the past to illustrate the present. Their attitudes were more obvious than that of Lu Jin. Yang Du, in particular, repeatedly lamented that if the Qing Dynasty could
By implementing a constitutional monarchy during the Daoguang period, China would not have experienced two Opium Wars, nor would it have caused civil strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, nor would it have caused the embarrassing situation of the Gengzi National Disaster and the Mutual Protection of the Southeast.
Yuan Su naturally knew that this was not the first time these people had gathered together to discuss this matter. Not only did everyone have their own approaches, attitudes and positions, but they also spoke very casually and relaxedly, not caring that it was already the Republic of China.
era. After all, this was the first time for him to participate in such a gathering. He could only listen to the discussion silently, nodding in agreement from time to time. Even though he knew that there was a temptation in it, he would not reveal his thoughts easily.
However, as the conversation progressed, everyone gradually discovered that only Yuan Su did not speak much, and Yuan Su was still just eating and drinking. People could not help but think that he did not have any insights, but rather that he came from the countryside and had never seen the world.
Like a local warlord. In fact, Yuan Su has never been to a restaurant as famous and high-end as Qingyun House. The only restaurant he has been to in the past few years that has a decent reputation is Desheng Zhai in Baoding.
Anyway, it is not easy for him to come here. He can eat if he can and drink if he can. It is not that he has not considered the issue of "imperialism" carefully, but he has not yet considered a suitable result so far, so he
Unwilling to show attitude.
