3 Put on the vest and continue to fight

Li Xiang and Song Jiaoren walked into the magnificent gate of the Presidential Palace side by side, through the ancient round alley-shaped doorway, and entered the square in front of the main hall.

There are military halls on both sides of the gate, and two battalions of troops are stationed. They are formed by the Zhishi of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. After asking according to the rules, the two guards lead the carriages of the two people to the inner palace.

The Grand Presidential Palace is the former Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, that is, the Heavenly Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is also like the Forbidden City. Although the Forbidden City is several times smaller, it is still the layout of the "front and the back sleep". The outer court is the place where the Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom handles government affairs and holds court meetings, and the inner court is the bedroom of the Heavenly King and the concubines.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established the capital of Nanjing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom built a large number of buildings, pushing the prosperity of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties to the extreme of modern history. The dignitaries of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were keen on fighting for wealth and profliance. Compared with the Beijing Manting, it is said that Yin Jian is still in front of him, but the peasant uprising army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not only did not learn the lessons of the Manting, but also repeated the same mistakes. Finally, after Zeng Guofan led the Xiang army into the city, the prosperity of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was burned to Xianyang.

Now you can still enjoy the prosperity of the prosperous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is the Heavenly Palace.

The palace of Tianwangfu is nine-fold, and the building is Chonghong. It reaches Huangjiatang in the east, Beiting Lane in the west, Floating Bridge and Taiping Bridge in the north, and Ke Lane in the south. Miyagi is divided into two inside and outside. It is called Sun City, Jinlong City inside, and trenches outside. The main gate of the Sun City is the Tianchao Gate, the main gate of the Golden Dragon City is the Holy Heavenly Gate, and the main hall is the Golden Dragon Hall. There are also two halls, three halls, and five eight golden dragon main halls, which are towering and magnificent. They are located on the central axis opposite the front and rear gates, with a hall leading directly to the harem. After the harem, the three palaces are the main, and the left and right sides are the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, which are the palaces of the concubines of the King of Heaven and the princes. Finally, it was the Houlin Garden. Originally, there were gardens on the east and west sides. The West Garden and the stone buns in the garden now exist, and the rest were burned after the Qing army occupied Tianjing. However, after several generations of Liangjiang governors Zeng Guofan, Duan Fang and others have been repaired, and the original appearance has been basically restored.

Li Xiang didn't visit Sun Yat-sen well on the day he took office. First, he didn't have this free mood, and second, he couldn't see clearly at ten o'clock in the evening. Today, along the way, I only saw the halls of Tianwangfu, pavilions, pavilions, platforms, corridors, etc. in the garden. There was no lawlessness and strictness, and the emperor's atmosphere was solemn. The architectural form of the inner court is more diverse than that of the outer court, and the layout is compact. Each group of buildings has its own courtyard, surrounded by courtyard walls, and high palace walls in different areas. If there is no one to lead the way, it is not surprising to get lost.

On the square under the steps of the Golden Dragon Hall, representatives of various provinces also came one after another.

Tan Renfeng, the old man of the alliance, was waiting for them on the steps.

"Why do you always come first? We went to find you and got out of the air." Song Jiaoren walked up the long steps and laughed.

Tan Renfeng shook her head and smiled bitterly: "There must be continuous turmoil when I walk with you. I'm old and can't stand the toss.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "It's a happy thing to be troubled by a beautiful woman."

Three men laughed at this sentence.

Tan Renfeng restrained his smile, stroked his beard, and whispered, "It's almost time. Let's go in."

Step into the door of the hall, there is a huge long conference table in the hall, which especially reflects the Western-style democratic style. Dozens of delegations from various provinces sit around. Each seat is written with the name of the representative, and the representatives who come in one after another find their seats and sit down.

The three of them are together. Tan Renfeng held the two in his left and right hands, walked to the right side of the upper head, and whispered, "The president will not come to this meeting today, so it will be presided over by Huang Keqiang. Your enemies today are Hu Hanmin and Ma Junwu. They are the most fiercely opposed to the cabinet system proposed by the amendment to the outline of the provisional government.

Song Jiaoren over there asked, "Ma Junwu also came to join the fun?"

Li Xiang complained in his heart, and today he is going to fight with the heroes again.

At this time, the three people came to their seats. Tan Renfeng first waved her hand to entertain the girl for tea and retreated, and then whispered, "The outline of the interim government organization was formulated by the host. If you want to modify his masterpiece, he doesn't object? Almost all the representatives here are against it! So you have to be careful. This battle is not easy to fight.

Song Jiaoren secretly complained, and Xie Tan Renfeng said gratefully, "I just think that because the previous outline of the organization of the provisional government was only the president and there was no vice president... It is too simple, and it is necessary to propose an amendment. The amendment I proposed has added a clause under the presidential structure: when all members of state carry out government affairs, the interim president issues laws and orders related to government affairs must be signed."

Tan Renfeng grabbed his arm vigorously and said with a flash of light in his eyes: "In accordance with this regulation, the president cannot publish laws and issues orders alone, but must be "de-signed" by state officials, which is still a cabinet system. As these old committee members, you are all fools. Can't you see them? Don't take it lightly."

Song Jiaoren's cabinet system had been denied by Sun Yat-sen before, and then it was jointly denied by provincial representatives before Sun Yat-sen took office. Now he has changed his vest and continues to fight. It can be seen that Song Jiaoren insists on his tenacious political opinion.

Only then did Li think that he really learned the power of the political figures in modern Chinese politics. Song Jiaoren is also good enough. No wonder Yuan Shikai would say, "Sun Yat-sen is open-minded and easy to get along with. The naive Huang Xing is also easy to deal with. At the most difficult to control, there is only one Song Jiaoren." In the early years of the Republic of China, in the original historical trajectory, Yuan Shikai's real opponent was only Song Jiaoren. Now, of course, there is also a Li Xiang who holds a heavy army!

Before Song Jiaoren could answer, he saw Hu Hanmin and Ma Junwu coming together. Tan Renfeng's smile was immediately put away, and Song Jiaoren snorted coldly. It seemed that the alliance would meet the Xiang faction and the Cantonese faction, and wanted to take advantage of this matter to fight. The struggle within Nanjing has been white-hot for a long time, and it is not only within the League. The situation is quite complicated.

Today's meeting is an important meeting to organize the interim government after the inauguration of the president. In fact, since the restoration of Shanghai, the organizational problems of the provisional government have been brewing, but it has been caused by various factions competing for power. Until Sun Yat-sen returned to China, there was no way to establish a central institution with unified leadership.

Dating back to the Wuchang Uprising, the provinces have responded one after another, and the situation in the uprising provinces is very complicated. Some of the new army and revolutionary uprisings, expelled the officials of the Qing Dynasty and gained power and became independent, such as Shaanxi and Hunan; some of the new army and the old army won power after fighting, such as Yunnan, Zhejiang and other provinces; some Qing Dynasty officials saw the revolutionary power rise, and the Qing Dynasty was about to perish and automatically declared independence, such as Fu Construction; some officials of the Qing Dynasty did not want to be independent, but were persuaded to reluctantly change their names, such as Jiangsu; there were also officials of the Qing Dynasty who held false independence and secretly colluded with the Beijing government, such as Shandong. Although Sun Yat-sen's tripartism is the political program of this revolution, the leadership of the League in the provinces does not have sufficient strength. The military and political power of many independent provinces falls into the hands of warlords, bureaucrats and constitutionalists. This is also the biggest reason why the Nanjing Provisional Government was unable to organize before Sun Yat-sen came back.

In order to open the deadlock, Sun Yat-sen had to accommodate these warlord bureaucrats with different systems, and the constitutionalists who supported the monarch yesterday and supported the republic to form a mixed government.

Hu Hanmin and Ma Junwu's eyes were fixed on Li Xiang. He was a little surprised. Li Xiang and Song Jiaoren, the main battle and the other, could also sit together. This variable caught them off guard.

Li Xiang is not as angry as Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng, but smiles very politely.

Hu Hanmin is very elegant, smiling and courteous. Ma Junwu looked arrogant, nod his head slightly, narrowed the pair of slender eyes, and said with a cold smile, "Marshal Li, as a soldier, also came to the representative meeting?" These words clearly blamed Li Xiang for the military to do politics.

Li Xiang scolded "Male Gobi" in his heart, but a smile piled up on his face and said, "Although I am a soldier, I sit here as a representative of Hubei, and I am also a dual representative of the military and civilian of Hubei. What's wrong with it?"

The meeting hasn't started yet, and the secret war has begun!

Li Xiang looked very active today. He shook hands with the representatives of the top provinces one by one, and then sat proudly between Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng.

At this time, as soon as the small corner door on the right side of the hall opened, Huang Xing came out.

He wears a yellow tweed uniform and white gloves as usual. A servant officer shouted, "Get up!" and reported the number of people at the meeting.

Huang Xing took off his hat and bowed. Since it is a national conference of the interim government, it should always be like that.

After everyone sat down, Huang Xing took off his gloves and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, some have not seen each other for a long time, and some have not met. Today, before I speak, let's call the name, meet and get to know each other." Then he picked up the roster. Probably to show respect and politeness, he always communicates with the people who clicks to get closer.

Pointing to Li Xiang, Huang Xing's eyes lit up, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He said meaningfully, "If you can become an extraordinary thing, you must be an extraordinary person."

Li Xiang was a little confused and said with a silly smile, "Let's be lucky."

Hu Hanmin and Ma Junwu exchanged glances and saw that the other party was dissatisfied.

It took more than half an hour to call.

Huang Xing put away the roster, glanced at the crowd, and said lightly, "The meeting begins!"

Huang Xing did not talk nonsense and said calmly, "In the first item of the meeting, five representatives signed an amendment to the organizational outline, and still advocated that the State Councilor has the power to sign."

Li Xiang and Tan Renfeng's eyes lit up at the same time.

Hu Hanmin and Ma Junwu also showed an alert look. Let's see what Song Jiaoren has to say first.

"Dunchu," Huang Xing laughed and then said, "You started the proposal, so please say it bluntly first, Shu Chen Ji's opinion!"

"When all state officials carry out government affairs, when the interim president issues laws and orders related to government affairs, they must sign them - according to this provision, this is still a cabinet system." Song Jiaoren smiled and did not deny his claim of the cabinet system in a waistcoat: "We advocate the cabinet system in order to create a parliamentary politician. If the cabinet is not good, it can be changed. If the president is not good, there is no way to change it. If you want to change it, it will shake the foundation of the country. Therefore, we do not take the presidential system, but the cabinet system.
