Chapter 249 Rebuke Anger
In the study of the ruling axe, only the sound of breathing can be heard quietly.
Wearing an "official uniform" designed in a governing military uniform, Yuan Shikai stood at the table and looked at the documents and reports there. He had been standing for half an hour.
Half an hour, it will be as long as half a century. Although the fan in the room is turning, Yuan Shikai, who is wearing this dress, has been soaked with sweat, and bean-sized beads of sweat gushed out of the round head and slid down his cheeks.
His legs were already a little numb, but Yuan Shikai didn't even dare to move.
In front of the case, Chen Moran ignored Yuan Shikai standing in front of him. Although he felt a little hot in a short-sleeved shirt, he was much better than Yuan Shikai.
See that the government is processing the files on the desktop and put the documents and reports into the basket on the table. Yuan Shikai was finally relieved.
Just as he was relieved, Chen Moran poured himself a cup of tea, and then ordered another cigar, holding the armrest of the chair with both hands, and closing his eyes with a cigar in his mouth, as if he had forgotten Yuan Shikai standing in front of him.
The abnormal move of governing made Yuan Shikai feel some ominous in his heart. He understood that maybe the ruling government wanted to give him a power.
The fragrance of cigars spread in the room, smoking cigars and drinking tea. Chen Moran did not look up at Yuan Shikai. It was not until a cigar was finished that Chen Moran looked up at Yuan Shikai when he was drinking tea.
"Comfort Pavilion, you're here!"
The voice was not loud, and the coldness mixed in the sight only made Yuan Shikai's heart tremble. The sense of ominousness in my heart is even more.
He extinguished the cigar in his hand and threw it into the ashtray. Chen Moran then began to explain the work.
"Now the military in the north is forced, and there are some people who don't think about the military, but hug with those politicians. They really forget their duty."
With that, Chen Moran's face became grim.
"Now in Nanjing, there are some people who think they can hide it from the world by making some intrigues? Do you really want to try my sharpness?
It's not the questioning that made Yuan Shikai nervous. He knows better than anyone that he is now in power, and his three towns have been ruled by the sand of five divisions. Is it still the Beiyang Army? When I transferred the thirteen divisions to Pingjin from power, I lost the opportunity to challenge him.
But it is suspended in Nanjing like this, but it is not what he wants. In the past period of time, on the one hand, he has been caged with key members of the advisory office and officials of various ministries, and he has been very close to Sun Yat-sen. On the other hand, he took the consultation office to ask for a referendum on the rule. When he contacted Sun Yat-sen, he did not forget to say "Sheng For you."
And doing all this, all he wanted was just to protect himself. The cold voice of the ruling made him aware of the sudden change in the attitude of the ruling to him today. In the past, it was open and dark, but on the surface it was more than intimate. This time, the cold attitude of the ruling, and the threat in his words made his back cold and a cold sweat gushed out.
"You are the first to ask to prepare for the referendum as much as possible! However, some preparations need to be made before the referendum. I am going to send a delegation abroad for a year and a half to inspect the systems, politics, military, economy and industry of various countries.
The cold eyes stared at Yuan Shikai, and Chen Moran continued to ask.
"How's it going? Comfort pavilion!"
"What the ruling said is very true. He should have sent a delegation to study abroad, thinking that he said that the referendum was approved, and it was difficult for the rule to see Shikai."
Yuan Shikai nodded vigorously. Now he dared to say anything more. The previous words in power have been made very clear. Some people want to try his sharpness. Who is this to hear? Yuan Shikai naturally knew that he was listening to Chen Moran sitting in the chair and paying attention to Yuan Shikai standing in front of him. When he found that his face was pale and his expression was very unnatural, he sneered in his heart.
"Comfort Pavilion, you and Sun Yat-sen seem to have a good personal relationship!"
"In power, Shi Kai and Sun are just ordinary private friends..."
"Oh, so it is..."
Chen Moran nodded as if he suddenly realized, and then frowned.
"I thought you were not a private friends, so I wanted you to invite Sun Yat-sen into the ruling axe and go abroad with the group to inspect the countries. Anyway, I'll tell him in person later!"
After saying this, Chen Moran just looked up at Yuan Shikai and put on a look of dissatisfaction.
"Comfort pavilion, why are you still standing! Sit down!"
"Thank you...thank you for governing!"
Thank you, Yuan Shikai sat in his heart and reflected on the meaning of the words in the government.
What I said before was to beat myself, and then I mentioned Sun Yat-sen's going abroad. Could it be... For Yuan Shikai, although he was in Nanjing, he always had a hidden unwillingness in his heart. After decades of painstaking management, the reality of success and losses in the end would always make life unwilling. The reason why he made friends with Sun Yat-sen was nothing more than I want to disturb the pool of Nanjing with the hands of the revolutionary party. If I am lucky, I may be able to fish in the mixed water.
Although the two had an open and upright relationship, the conversation between the two was related to what they had said before... Yuan Shikai, who was in formal clothes, suddenly had the illusion of falling into the ice cave. Although it was midsummer, he could not feel a trace of enthusiasm on his body, and cold sweat surged from his forehead and back. He knew that everything he had done could not be hidden from the eyes of the ruler.
Looking at Yuan Shikai's appearance, Chen Moran did not relax and beat him because of the fear on his face, but let him breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. The braids were going to be relieved.
"Comfort Pavilion, although you and I have a name, you are my brother in terms of age,"
"I dare not..."
Yuan Shikai was submissive and thought about the meaning of governing repeatedly in his heart, but at least he vaguely felt that at least now the ruling did not want to take his own mind to try his knife, otherwise he would not say so. Thinking so, he naturally relaxed a little in his heart and began to think about how to deal with the next step in governing. Words.
"I regard Brother Yuan as my brother, but how do you repay me..."
The originally close voice suddenly became harsh, and Chen Moran stared at Yuan Shikai in front of him.
When he hummed this sentence coldly, he was immediately distracted by this again. Yuan Shikai was suddenly scared and suddenly fell from the chair to the ground. If it was ten seconds ago, he felt that he could guess that the meaning of governing was to beat himself, but the sudden change of the rule made him beat again.
"Pritory...ruling, Shikai's loyalty to governance, can show the blue sky, absolutely..."
"Blue sky! You still rely on the blue sky!"
Asking harshly, Chen Moran stood up and stared at Yuan Shikai, who was kneeling on the ground.
"You are in Tianjin, making friends with the minister of various countries, intending to stand on your own feet with foreign countries. How would I not know? If it hadn't been for the army of our thirteen divisions, how would you have served in the south! This is your loyalty. Can you show your blue sky?
... When he walked to Yuan Shikai and spoke, Chen Moran couldn't wait to kick him to relieve his anger.
"Good! For the sake of the overall situation, since you came to Nanjing, I don't ask you how you got here, whether you are forced to be helpless or from the bottom of your heart. When you come, I will not follow up. I asked myself and did it, but what is your loyalty? I'm talking to those people about how to make the Republic and the Constitution immortal, and how to read my ruling axe, but I still don't blame you!"
When he shouted harshly, Yuan Shikai was bitter. He was not afraid of everything he had done, but he did not hide it from the eyes of the government. For Yuan Shikai, in his official career and political arena, he looked down on his personal grudges. The key was whether he could cooperate or not, and what would be the result of cooperation between the two sides.
"Since you came to Nanjing, I have been giving you a chance. If you are more peaceful and keep your duty, how can I not use you! You think that your three towns of soldiers and horses are the thorn in my heart and a thorn in my eyes. If I am even worried about your three towns of soldiers and horses, why should I govern? You ask yourself, after you come to Nanjing, you will one day guard your duty as a minister, okay! If you don't keep your duty, you talk to them about the republicanism, the throne, and the establishment of the constitution. This is China, not the Qing Dynasty. I don't blame you. You pretend to be extravagant, and I don't ask you. You have this power and freedom!"
"Ruling, the world... Shi Kai is obsessed with his heart"
Take a deep breath, and Chen Moran continued to speak.
"Even so, I still give you a chance. I appreciate your talent. Even if it is your ambition, I can tolerate it. Xiang Shuai is old, and you are still young. He joins hands with you and me to save China's crisis, but you, what do you want to be? As you said to Juren 25 years ago, you can't want to be an emperor!"
"I will die! I will die..."
When he was young, the jokes of worshipping Xu Shichang came out of the mouth of the government. He was so surprised that Yuan Shikai was not possessed and hurriedly kowtowed his head.
"If people live up to me, I will live up to others! After you came to Nanjing, someone asked me to kill you as an example!"
In an instant, Yuan Shikai, who was kowtowing his head, was soft, and his neck was cold to his throat.
"But I want to cherish my talent for the country. I have turned a blind eye to all kinds of things before. You and Sun Yat-sen are indifferent. I can turn a blind eye to whatever you talk about and say. Today's China, there is no reason to be guilty of words. But Yuan Xiangcheng, ah Yuan Xiangcheng, I cherish what a talent. You invested with Yang Du to England and persuade Yang Du. Ji Li gave up the position of her wife and secretly ordered others to usurp the text. She said that I, Chen Moran, was an ungrateful person. I talked with Sun Yat-sen. On the contrary, Chen should take the destruction of reputation first. I want to ask, where is your conscience!"
At this time, Yuan Shikai was completely paralyzed on the ground. He knelt there and forgot to kowtow. He just looked at the rule in fear, and his lips trembled slightly. It was not until then that he found that the rule was almost omniscient for himself. Even his so-called secret was just a joke in the rule.
"I...I..."
Yuan Shikai, who finally muttered and wanted to speak, looked at the anger in the ruling eyes, but couldn't say anything. At this time, Chen Moran took out more than a dozen copies from the table and threw them in front of Yuan Shikai.
