While Yuan Shikai was waiting in the study, someone naturally informed Gu Bingjun that he had temporarily stopped Yuan Su and had a few words with Yuan Su alone. He had just met with everyone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Regarding these officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
He knew his attitude very well, and it was not difficult to guess the content of Gu Bingjun's conversation with Yuan Su alone.
It had to be said that the telegram he suddenly received in the afternoon stated that Japan had assembled army troops without authorization, which gave him a headache. He originally thought that he could continue to delay the negotiation table for a while, but he was able to delay the "21
Article", but it cannot delay Japan's military deployment.
In exchange for Japan's support for the imperial system, he had some tangles in his conscience. He had no other choice but to constantly comfort himself. Once the country becomes rich and the people become strong, he must make these Japanese little devils repay tenfold. He has no other way.
Knowing that the matter that needs to be decided cannot be escaped no matter what, instead of continuing to struggle with this matter, it is better to take it one step at a time, completely put these worries behind, and concentrate on running the empire.
When Yuan Su was brought into the study by his attendants, before Yuan Su could salute and say hello, Yuan Shikai had already preemptively asked: "Gu Shaochuan and Ke Li met just now. Did they talk about anything related to Qingdao?"
Yuan Su's expression was calm and he said calmly: "Exactly."
Yuan Shikai smiled slightly, and his smile was a bit contrary to his will. He motioned Yuan Su to sit down first, and then cut off the retreat and said: "You don't understand the diplomatic matters Ke Li. There are many unspeakable secrets in it. In short, this matter
Now that I've decided, I don't want to worry about this anymore. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yuan Su was silent for a moment, still with a calm expression. He nodded slowly and said, "Ke Li understands."
Yuan Shikai was a little surprised when he saw Yuan Su's concise words, but he felt relieved. He only thought that Yuan Su was a person who knew current affairs, so the smile on his face became brighter, and then he chatted with Yuan Su for a while and asked
Yuan Su gave simple answers about the marriage he had just experienced not long ago and the hard work of traveling all the way. His expression and tone were the same from beginning to end.
"Keli, the main reason for inviting you to go north this time is not for other reasons, but for your previous petition to establish a military organization of the Corps, Keli. This matter has been discussed for a long time in the Presidential Palace, and has also been discussed for a long time by the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters. Someone
They believe that given our country's current military situation, even the division-level organization has not yet been fully implemented, and it is probably too early to rashly set up a higher-level military organization. Of course, some people think that if Kinki security is considered, it is indeed
There should be a military establishment that is different from the conventional one, to strengthen Kinki’s military support and to highlight the importance of Kinki.”
"I wonder what uncle thinks of it?" Yuan Su asked with a serious look.
"Do you know who are the people who support the establishment of the Corps?" Yuan Shikai did not answer Yuan Su's words. Instead, he put on a serious look and asked Yuan Su.
"My nephew really doesn't know."
"Ke Li, Mr. Yang visited Luanzhou a month ago and had some conversations with you, right? To be honest, there are indeed some strange rumors in Beijing recently, and for some reason, someone actually brought up the old things again and brought them up again.
We are discussing the constitutional monarchy, but we have developed a new knowledge in a different way, which is called the knowledge of political system. Haha, don’t you think it’s strange?” Yuan Shikai suddenly changed the subject as if he were joking.
"Actually, as a soldier, my nephew knows nothing about political affairs, let alone political systems and other intellectual matters. The duty of a soldier is to protect the family and the country, nothing more. In terms of political stance, the only thing that my nephew is unwavering about is
My understanding is centralization. As long as it can promote centralization, as long as it can make the country prosperous, nothing else matters." Yuan Su sat up straight and said in a sonorous tone.
"Haha, Keli is indeed dedicated to his duties. It is really valuable to understand one's responsibilities nowadays. Many people forget their duties when they are in their positions. They are confused, confused, and everyone has their own affairs. This leads to the disintegration of the country.
There are many people who support the military and respect themselves." Yuan Shikai said with emotion.
"Please forgive my nephew's ignorance, but I wonder what this matter has to do with the formation of the Corps?" Yuan Su asked directly.
"Oh, let's get back to the topic. As I said just now, there are some who support and some who oppose the establishment of the Corps, and those who support it are precisely the group that has been hotly debated about political system recently. These people are very close to Mr. Yang and agree very much.
Some of Mr. Yang's views. In fact, I am thinking about whether there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between the political system, the state system and national development." Yuan Shikai said deeply.
He suddenly changed the topic before, just to test Yuan Su's bottom line on the imperial system, and only based on this bottom line can he know how far the conversation can go. Obviously, after confirming that Yuan Su really doesn't care about the political system and the state system,
He could talk to his nephew more directly, and no longer had to be secretive or even deny it like others.
"Actually, when I talked to Mr. Yang last time, my nephew made it very clear. Whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a republic, the key is whether it can convince the people of the world?" Yuan Su naturally knows Yuan Shikai's thoughts and understands Yuan Shikai's.
Plan, so he no longer covered anything up and went straight to the real topic.
"I would like to ask Ke Li first, do you agree with Mr. Yang's view that political system and national sports can promote national development?" Yuan Shikai asked casually, but everyone knew that this sentence was the key, not only clear
Expressing Yuan Su's position also made him understand Yuan Su's value.
Yuan Su was silent for a moment. Although he had thought about this matter repeatedly before, and even though he had already made a decision in his heart, when it came time to express this decision, he still needed to muster up some courage. After all, Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne was the first in history.
It ended in failure, and those who once supported Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne fell from the high platform to the low point one by one, either fleeing abroad or suffering from prison, and all of them could not escape the reputation of sinners and experienced all kinds of hardships in history.
of scorn.
He is not sure whether he can change this period of history by himself, and he is not sure whether the implementation of the imperial system will bring better benefits to the country. He can only be sure that in the next few days, it will be very good for his own development.
promotion.
After taking a deep breath, he finally spoke and made a decision: "In my nephew's humble opinion, Mr. Yang's words may not be unreasonable. After all, looking at Huanyu, there are many successful precedents in front of us, such as England, Germany,
Japan, Russia, etc., are all countries with a constitutional monarchy. Whether it is a republic or a constitutional monarchy, in fact, as long as we insist on implementing the rule of law, in my nephew's opinion, the two are actually the same."
Yuan Shikai didn't change much on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. He pretended to be thoughtful, nodded slowly and said: "What you said makes sense. The constitution is the foundation of the country. There is no doubt about it. I heard it before
Mr. Yang said, Keli, you think that no one in China today is qualified to be the king of the world. He also said that in order to be qualified, one must first have national justice and convince the world. I don’t know how to do it.
How can we convince the world if we have national justice?"
Yuan Su sat upright and said: "My nephew dare not do anything in front of my uncle. National justice is the heart of the world. I believe that my uncle understands it far more thoroughly than my nephew. National justice is nothing more than uniting the Chinese nation and restoring national self-confidence.
Gather the strength of the nation, realize equality and fraternity among all ethnic groups, and vigorously promote the spirit and doctrine of the integration of the nation and the country. Only with national justice can the world return to its heart."
Yuan Shikai thought carefully about Yuan Su's words, and then asked: "How can the world return to its heart?"
Yuan Su continued: "If we use some high-sounding words, it means that everyone can enjoy freedom, equality, justice, no longer endure oppression, no longer be bullied, no longer have privileges, power, no longer have land and
House, no longer worry about losing the existing land and house, no longer afraid of the government and officials, in short, no more complaints from the people."
Yuan Shikai frowned slightly, his face gradually darkening.
After a pause, Yuan Su said very formally: "These words are used by some idealistic political activists to deceive people's hearts. Although they are indeed very accurate words, they are not words that can be achieved in a short time. The world will return to its heart.
To put it more simply, it is to give the people hope and make them believe that even if they don’t have food to eat now, they will have food to eat soon, and even if they don’t have land now, they will have land soon.”
Yuan Shikai raised his eyebrows and asked seriously: "Do you really think so?"
Yuan Su solemnly said: "Yes. But one thing is that it gives hope, and these hopes must be realized one by one. Otherwise, it will be like Qin Shihuang, who can be emperor for a while but not for a lifetime. Deceiving the people can only
It can bring you a moment of peace of mind."

[I moved today. I moved into a place that is similar to a daily rental house. It seems to be surrounded by a red light district, because I saw many small shops selling adult products. Alas, the hard life can only be so wandering. I am working hard to prepare for the trip north.
Be prepared. You must also work hard. I was very enlightened after watching the first episode of "Xiao Shuo Season 2". There is a sentence in it that is closely related to my current situation, and I believe it is also closely related to some readers. Keep it up! I hope
