Volume Two Chapter 314: Never Allowed

Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai sat down on the sofa outside. They didn't go to get the coffee table and put the water cup. Tang Shaoyi took out the cigarette box from his pocket and opened it, and raised his hand to Liao Zhongkai.

Nodded, Liao Zhongkai took out a cigarette and pointed it at the fire that Tang Shaoyi was drawing.

"Brother Zhongkai, between Zheng Ming and Dunchu..." After taking a sip of cigarettes and putting the cigarette box on the table, Tang Shaoyi subconsciously looked at the closed door.

"Oh... I just hope they can reach an agreement." Liao Zhongkai shook his head and sighed. To be honest, he did not expect this ending. Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren are in the same situation now. With Song Jiaoren's always arrogant personality, I really don't know what will happen next. Today, they invited Fang Zida over to come at the request of Song Jiaoren, but Liao Zhongkai was not at all confident about the conversation between them. If they really had a quarrel, kmt would become a joke for everyone, and China's political situation would also undergo unexpected changes.

Not only did Liao Zhongkai know this truth, but Tang Shaoyi, as the former Prime Minister, is even more clear. With their ideas, it is best to regard harmony as the most important thing, but is Song Jiaoren willing to fail? No one is sure of this answer. Whether it is Tang Shaoyi or Liao Zhongkai, it is an extremely familiar person with Song Jiaoren's personality. This is a person full of fighting spirit and belief. In this case, it is not easy to make him lower his proud head.

Silently smoking, the two of them didn't say anything for a while. A few minutes later, a few shouts came from the closed door, and it seemed that the sound was Fang Zida. Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai were stunned at the same time. Before they could react, Song Jiaoren's voice also sounded. The two voices came back and forth and seemed to be discussing something fiercely, but because they were too far away, they could only vaguely hear a few words, but they could not hear clearly what they were quarreling.

"What's going on? Why did the argument get like this in a while?" Liao Zhongkai listened to the tone of both sides becoming more intense, and he couldn't help but stand up: "No. I have to go and take a look."

"Don't!" Before Liao Zhongkai could take a step, Tang Shaoyi grabbed him and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's counterproductive to go in now, let alone what if you go in? Let's wait a little longer."

"This..." Liao Zhongkai was stunned, frowned and looked at the door where the sound came, and then looked at Tang Shaoyi. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to sit down again.

Not long after I sat down, the noisy sound that had just been clamored and disappeared. The door of the room was quiet, and even made people wonder if there was someone inside.

He stared at the door with a nervous mood. Both Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai were worried that Fang Zida or Song Jiaoren would suddenly slam the door and exit. Fortunately, this speculation did not happen. After a few minutes, the door was still closed.

Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai looked at each other in confusion, both curious about what happened in the house. As time went by, a bad mood filled their hearts, making them more and more worried.

Until he couldn't help but plan to get up and listen to the movement, the slight voice came from the room intermittently. When he heard carefully, he heard that it was Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren's. Only then did the two of them feel relieved, shook their heads and smiled bitterly and relaxed on the sofa.

All afternoon, Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai were waiting outside, while Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren were also staying in the inner room to talk. They sometimes debated, sometimes quarreled, sometimes quarreled, sometimes serious, but what were they debated, why were they quarreled, and what were they discussing? No one knew about these.

Until the sky outside gradually darkened and Tang Shaoyi's box of cigarettes was almost finished, the door that had been closed finally opened.

"Dunchu!"

Unexpectedly, it was not Fang Zida who stood at the door when he opened the door, but Song Jiaoren. He had been in a bad mood these days and now he looked tired and his body was a little weak. He stood at the door with one hand holding the door frame and the other holding the door handle. He looked up at them.

"Two, please come in."

"Dunchu, you...?"

"It's okay, come in." Song Jiaoren nodded to them with a smile. The careful Liao Zhongkai was slightly stunned when he saw his eyes, because Song Jiaoren's eyes, which had been unconscious these days, have returned to his former brightness. Although he seemed a little weak due to fatigue, his expression has improved a lot.

Momo and Tang Shaoyi looked at each other, and the two stood up and walked into the house.

In the room, Song Jiaoren was already sitting on the sofa where he was sitting, while Fang Zida sat on his left hand with a calm expression. Judging from the expressions of the two, Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai could not see anything. After entering the door, they nodded to the two of them, and then sat down accordingly.

"Shaochuan, Zhongkai, thank you for your hard work these days..." Song Jiaoren spoke when they sat down.

"Dunchu, we..." Liao Zhongkai apologized and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Song Jiaoren's hand.

"When the Xinhai Revolution was successful, in order to realize the ideal of governing the country, we dissolved the Tongmenghui and united the Republican Party, the National People's Progressive Party, the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang, the Republican Party and other parties established KMT, our ideal was to save the country with a new system. Just like a doctor saving the patient, saving the previous bad government, replacing dictatorship with the cabinet system, and replacing dictatorship with the constitutional system, so that our country will eventually become a democratic, rich and powerful new China! Over the years, with the efforts of all comrades, the country has implemented constitutionalism, improved the law, unified the provinces, reorganized the national army, and vigorously supported the industry and commerce... The whole country is moving forward little by little for our original goals. I, Song Jiaoren, feel both emotion and pride in my heart."

Speaking of this, Song Jiaoren glanced at Fang Zida, with a complicated look in his eyes, and sighed for a long time: "After Song served as chairman and became the Prime Minister, Fang Junming contributed a lot to the party and the country. No matter which is right or wrong between Song and Fang Junming, what Song wants to say is that if it were not for his financial efforts and his repeated suggestions on national construction, this cabinet would not have achieved such great success."

Fang Zida smiled faintly, and did not respond, and sat quietly watching Song Jiaoren.

Song Jiaoren continued to review his work as the chairman of the kmt and the Premier of the State. Not only did he evaluate Fang Zida, but also Tang Shaoyi, Liao Zhongkai or others, but also said something about his mistakes in decision-making. These words surprised Tang Shaoyi and others. These words seemed to be explaining the funeral. What happened to Song Jiaoren? What did he and Fang Zida talk about?

After saying that, Song Jiaoren finally said: "Now, according to the resolution of the National Party Congress, I no longer serve as chairman. According to the national constitutional system, the new chairman, that is, Fang Junming, will submit an application for reorganization to the Congress on behalf of KMT. As the promoter of the constitutional system, I, Song Jiaoren, have no choice! So from tomorrow, I will submit a resignation report to the Congress on behalf of the cabinet. During the transition period, the power of the Prime Minister will be Lao Zhongkai."

"Dunchu, this is..." Liao Zhongkai was shocked. Although the result was sooner or later, he did not expect it to come so quickly. As the Prime Minister of State, Liao Zhongkai was the Minister of Internal Affairs. From a legal perspective, it was natural to preside over the cabinet for Song Jiaoren to be the temporary host of the cabinet, but this matter came too suddenly and he could not accept it for a while.

"Zhongkai, this is a state affairs, not a private matter!" Song Jiaoren said seriously: "You are the chief minister of the interior. If you don't come forward, who can come forward? Once someone with ulterior motives adds to the fire in this matter, and there will be turmoil in the national political situation, who can bear this responsibility?"

Liao Zhongkai opened his mouth, but had no choice but to agree.

"Brother Shaochuan."

"Please say it first."

"Brother Shaochuan is a veteran of politics and has rich experience in state affairs. If Song hadn't been too radical back then, Brother Shaochuan resigned in disgrace, I'm afraid the Prime Minister would not have fallen on my head."

"You can't say that. To be honest, everyone knows what the political situation was like back then. I, the Prime Minister, also put it on the spot, and there is no ability to rule a country. Whether compared with Dunchu or Zhengming, Tang is far inferior to that of Dunchu and Junming. There is still self-knowledge." Tang Shaoyi smiled and shook his head. He was really difficult to do as the first Prime Minister back then. Although there were some reasons for his resignation from Song Jiaoren, the biggest reason was that the north and south confrontation, the national finance went bankrupt, the government had no authority at all. Yuan Shikai was restrained, and the warlords of various provinces did not obey the orders. It was boring that this short prime minister. Tang Shaoyi was disheartened and resigned voluntarily.

"It's good if Brother Shaochuan is not surprised." Song Jiaoren nodded slightly and said with relief: "Since that's the case, will Brother Shaochuan help Zhongkai while Song resigns? So as to avoid unstable central government?"

"This..." Tang Shaoyi didn't expect Song Jiaoren to ask such a request. He instantly understood that Song Jiaoren wanted to use his reputation to suppress other parties inside and outside the cabinet to avoid some people having different thoughts at this time. After looking at Song Jiaoren, and then looking at Fang Zida who didn't say a word, Tang Shaoyi had no choice but to agree.

After saying this, Song Jiaoren said something about his resignation. After all these were explained, Song Jiaoren turned around and looked at Fang Zida. Fang Zida nodded slightly and stood up to say goodbye.

Liao Zhongkai sent Fang Zida out, and the two of them didn't say anything along the way. Until Fang Zida was about to get on the bus at the door, Liao Zhongkai couldn't help asking: "What did you talk about with Dun Chu? Why did he quit voluntarily?"

Fang Zida turned around and looked at Liao Zhongkai who was puzzled and thought for a moment, then he said softly: "Zhongkai, Dunchu is different from Sun Wen. He is not only a revolutionary, but also an ideal politician. Moreover, it is his lifelong wish to realize constitutionalism in China. If he was allowed to destroy the constitutional system he had finally established, do you think he would choose this way?"
