Chapter 158 Speaker's Press Dinner Meeting The gourd does not open the ladle

Congress of the Chinese Empire.

Near noon, Liang Qichao, the leader of the Lixianming Party, and his friend Shao Zhenqing, a journalist, left the National Assembly together after meeting, because His Majesty is not in Beijing, and the Prime Minister is not in Beijing. Recently, the National Assembly seems to have become the highest authority of the country, which can be said to be very lively. Members often hold some meetings to discuss new bills or modify some old provisions.

In a word, in this rare "no tiger in the mountains", Nanjing politics seems to be very lively.

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, I heard that you voted against the motion to organize a trade union? It seems that you don't agree with the union organization?

On the way to the restaurant, Shao Zhenqing asked knowingly.

"It's not disapproval, but..."

For a moment of meditation, Liang Qichao said in a very positive tone.

"Now, it's not the time to organize a union..."

After the conversation between the two, they have walked to the natural residential hotel, which is only a few minutes away from the Congress. This seemingly small-scale restaurant, because of its decoration conditions are very good and elegant environment, it always attracts some members of Congress to eat here, but it is limited to members of the House of Congress, for For the members of the House of Lords, they rarely "mix here". To be precise, they do not want to mix with those constitutional cooks. To some extent, this is the dining base of the constitutional cooks.

"...In a word, if a trade union is organized now, it is likely to lead to the same turmoil in China as Russia. We are not less cautious about this!"

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, is there any news about the murder in Guangzhou?"

Seeing that there was no news in the trade union organization, Shao Zhenqing shifted the target again and involved another case in which the assassination of the Speaker of Guangdong was assassinated. Although the case seems to have little impact, the shock in the domestic political arena should not be underestimated.

I heard him mention this case. Liang Qichao leaned back and looked left and right.

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, why, can't you even trust me?"

Smiling, Liang Qichao shook his head, and then leaned forward again. He put it on the table and whispered, "I have no official news. I mean, I haven't received a memo in this regard, but as far as I know, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as the outside world thinks."

"Isn't it that simple?"

"Everyone thinks that it was the work of the radical republican faction."

"In the past few years, the Republicans have carried out a lot of political assassinations!"

In the face of Shao Zhenqing's answer, Liang Qichao smiled and said:

"The republican faction has not killed a member of parliament yet! Now, the target has been shifted!"

"So you mean..."

"I mean, this matter is not as simple as people think. I don't know if there will be any conspiracy behind it!"

Speaking of this, Liang Qichao still turned his words to the proposal on the legalization of "union organizations" discussed by the two people earlier and discussed in Congress today.

"You should know that from the five years of the Empire to now, a total of 5,4643 strikes have broke out across the country, involving more than 1.5 million workers. Well, the loss of more than 40 million working hours, and the direct economic loss is 100,000 yuan! Just a few days ago, we got the news that the organizer of the Shanxi Coal Miners' Federation, made by the coal workers in Shanxi, was confirmed to be a spy of the Russian poor party..."

Russian Poor Party! Isn't it the Russian riot party?

Shao Zhenqing quickly took the pen and wanted to write it down, but was stopped by Liang Qichao.

"Remember it with your brain!"

Seeing Mr. Zhuo Ru's order, Shao Zhenqing put away his pen and notepad.

"Now, the news has not been made public, but only some people know that he is not the only one. The Bureau of Investigation gave a report saying that in the past many years, some radicals in China have begun to have contact with the Russian Poor Party. Now, the success of the Russian revolution has made the radicals see Xi. I hope that now, the reason why some people promote the legalization of trade union organizations is to try to use the cloak of legalization to prepare for him.

"Prepare for him?"

Riot!

"Now, there is a new organization, um, called Workers' Power. Have you heard of it?

"No. However, there are too many organizations called this and that now. Who knows what kind of organization will emerge tomorrow? What do they do?"

"It's nothing more than advocating the violent revolution in Russia. The workers are on the front line. Well, it's the proletariat, and for a long time, radicals have always liked to incite strikes and strikes. If we really set up a trade union organization, maybe this trade union organization may suffer those Human control."

"It's not without such a possibility."

"So, in Congress, there are many people who oppose the legalization of trade union organizations!"

Of course, at this time, Liang Qichao will never mention the financial support received by the Constitutional Cooking Party from enterprises, so that they have to stand on the side of the "capitalists" and speak for the capitalists. In his opinion, this seems to be a logical thing, who let them receive the other party's financial support.

At this time, a small drizzle peculiar to the south of the Yangtze River began to fall outside. When the waiter brought the dishes ordered by the two to the table, Shao Zhenqing said intentionally and unintentionally.

"I heard that the Prime Minister was urgently summoned by His Majesty this time."

"Hmm."

He nodded, and Liang Qichao replied directly.

"Your Majesty's trip was before the turmoil in Russia. Originally, Your Majesty was going to inspect the army troops to be sent to Russia, but now, the General Staff has vetoed the dispatch of troops, and it is even possible to withdraw the East Asian Expeditionary Force depending on the situation. It is estimated that Your Majesty's summoned the Prime Minister to go over, what kind of attitude may he have made contact with the temporary political axe. Tao's problem, this matter is really too complicated for us.

"How do you say it?"

"You should know that the crown prince, um, to be precise, the future crown princess, her status is too complicated, so it's not easy for us to deal with the temporary political axe now."

"Didn't Mikhail II abdication?"

"He abdicated, but isn't he also dead?"

"It sounds like... there is a conspiracy in it."

"Yes, no one knows that there is no conspiracy in that thing, and that thing is aboveboard!"

This sentence may be the most profound experience since he engaged in political activities. Behind many seemingly simple things, there are always too many conspiracies and tricks, and those conspiracies are often the most shameful dark side. At first, he once resisted, but now, as a politician, he can only accept In this pool of sewage, no one wants to be alone.

Maybe he sighed, so that when the words fell, Liang Qichao looked up at the lead-gray sky and suddenly said something mindlessly.

"The mountain rain is coming and the wind is all over the building!"

"Ah..."

When Shao Zhenqing didn't understand what he meant, the drizzle suddenly really began, and it was getting heavier and bigger. At this moment, a man came over. Shao Zhenqing recognized that person. The young man was Liang Qichao's secretary. It seemed that his surname was Zhou. The two only had a few faces.

After leaving the table, Liang Qichao talked with his secretary for a few words. After a while, he saw Liang Qichao coming over with a frown.

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, what's wrong? Why are you worried about things?

What are you worried about?

He shook his head and sighed, but Liang Qichao said casually, "Our majesty is starting to win people's hearts again!"

A headless word made Shao Zhenqing a little confused. How can His Majesty, who is far away in Harbin, win people's hearts?

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, why don't you just say anything?"

Curiously, Liang Qichao, who came to his senses, apologized to Shao Zhenqing.

"Piao Ling, Qi Chao still has his business today. I think this is the only way today. He said that Qi Chao will definitely have a banquet for Piao Ling to atone for his negligence. I hope you can forgive me!"

After saying that, without waiting for Shao Zhenqing to stay, Liang Qichao hurriedly left the natural residence. As soon as he went out, the car had already waited outside the door. As soon as he got on the car, Liang Qichao ordered the driver.

"Go to Yang Mansion!"

Yang Mansion, in the capital, there are not many people who can be called "Yang Mansion". Although there are also several mansions in Beijing with the door number of "Yang Mansion" hanging in front of the door, people say "** Lane Yang Family" at most, but they will not use "Yang Mansion" as "Yang Mansion". In Beijing, there is only one Yang Mansion, which is located at the foot of Zijin Mountain - Lixian The house of Yang Du, the deputy leader of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although it is the "Yang Mansion", this Yang Mansion is far from as luxurious as people think. In fact, it is just an ordinary four-main and six-compartment courtyard, and the yard looks a little deserted. Everything is simple and simple, and several rooms are locked. There are two eye-catching rooms, one is the studio, and the other is Zen Hall. Paper, pens and paints are placed in a mess in the studio, and several unfinished landscape paintings are cluttered on the walls, some of which are well drawn and some are not very good. The Zen hall is another scene: clean, neat, solemn and quiet. There is a banner hanging on the front wall with twelve lines on it: Confucianism prohibits anger, Shi's precepts anger, and learns the holy Buddha, which is the door. If I am slow, I can't be careful. The streets are full of sages, and everyone is a Buddha. Confucianism is said to be neutral, and interpretation is to be happy, and there is no joy, and it is in the way. On one side of the banner is a long string of rosary beads with dark light. There is a large and thick round cushion on the ground under the banner. There are two bookshelves in the Zen Hall, which are full of Buddhist classics.

Entering Yang's mansion and seeing this Zen hall, Liang Qichao sighed secretly in his heart:

This is completely out of the world, but is he really beyond the three worlds?

Thinking of this, Yang Du stepped into the door and saw Liang Qichao at a glance. He looked particularly happy. He scolded his immediate younger brother, and the famous Mr. Zhuo Ru didn't know him. It's too wrong. Then he said:

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, I don't know why Mr. Zhuo Ru is here."

After the merger of the two parties, Yang Du faded out of the Lixian Mingzhu Party, all of whom were intoxicated with Buddhism. Although he was elected as the deputy leader of the Lixianming Party, he had almost never participated in any gatherings and activities of the Lixianming Party. He had his own considerations. Why? I'm afraid he was the only one who I just know it.

"Pingzi!"

Liang Qichao hurriedly said:

"Calculate, you and I haven't seen each other for almost a year."

It's more than a year!

He thought so in his heart, but Yang Du smiled and said nothing, all of them were detached, and according to him.

"Now the two parties, the royalist and the constitutional cook, have shown a tendency to supervise each other in the Congress. The mission has been fulfilled, and they have retreated from success."

Or this success retreat, is it really true success retreat?

In this regard, Liang Qichao has some of his own opinions. Well, when he encountered this incident, he did not expect the upper elites of the Constitutional Cooking Party, but thought of this "retired from success" and "one-hearted to the Buddha" who were all Yang Du and Yang Xizi who were detached from the three worlds. For this Yang Xizi, he had his own understanding.

When the two sat down and chatted, Yang Du did not talk about politics, and talked about some of his experience of closing the door to Buddha at home after "retiring from success". On the contrary, Liang Qichao briefly described the current political situation of the country. Although it seemed to be beyond the three worlds, Yang Du still listened attentively, and occasionally I will also ask about the recent situation of the current situation, which is all detached, but the discerning person can still see at a glance that he pays so much attention to current affairs, and then he will know that he is far from being as "extrad" as he said to the outside world. There are some things, not to put down, not to mention... "Sixizi, do you know that Your Majesty and Guan Xiang are in Hal. Bin."

"I heard something!"

"The people around Guan Xiang said that Guan Xiang intended to enact a social insurance law, and it is said that His Majesty supported it!"

When a seemingly unspeakable word came out of Liang Qichao's mouth, he still noticed that Yang Du's face was solemn and his eyebrows were frowned. He took Liang Qichao's words and said:

"Oh, if this is the case, the people are blessed, and your majesty has this heart. It is a good thing that we have never been done in ancient times. The old age has been recuperated and the disease has been treated. Wouldn't it be like for me to be born in a prosperous world?"

Looking at Yang Du with interest, Liang Qichao looked at Yang Xizi, who seemed to have become a Buddha, but smiled in his heart, "Your Majesty has this heart." There is something to say.

"It's true, it's true!"

Liang Qichao did not refute. In fact, this matter, no matter how you look at it, is a good thing for the country and the people. Naturally, he will not say anything against his will, but some things may not be able to do whatever they want.

"However, China has been arguing about social security and insurance for many years, and most of its resistance comes from enterprises. After all, enterprises need to bear 60% of the responsibility, and the additional expenses are not what enterprises want to bear!"

For Liang Qichao's words, Yang Du smiled faintly and said:

"This is a good thing. As the trunk city of the country, Your Majesty trusts us and others, and all the people trusts us. Because we all things are ahead of the country, we forget our personal self-interest. If Your Majesty wants to do this good government, we should try our best to help them. At that time, we will have some support, care for the elderly, and medical treatment. In this prosperous era, isn't it me? It's a good wait."

Although he had a supportive attitude inside and outside his words, Liang Qichao showed great admiration and said:

"Sipzi, with your words, I'm relieved. To be honest, I know that you have devoted yourself to Buddhism. I'm really worried that you will refuse!"

Shaking his head, Yang Du said very seriously:

"Mr. Zhuo Ru, now I am really studying the Buddhist scriptures with all my heart, but I don't ask about the customs, but this matter is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people and the foundation of the country. I can't stand by. Although I have jumped out of the three worlds, I can do such a good deed for the future of hundreds of millions of people. If I can do it, it be a great good deed. "

Although Liang Qichao felt a little surprised about his explanation, he knew that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, so he whispered a reminder:

"Saizi, have you heard that Qinhuai Bank is going to set up an oil refinery in Guangdong?"

Hearing Liang Qichao mention Qinhuai Bank, Yang Du said with an unusually solemn tone:

"Liu Fu's courage is far from comparable to that of ordinary men. He has been in contact for a long time. I'm afraid it's a foreterm conclusion that his wife's intention to exploit oil fields in the Middle East."

For Mrs. Liu, Yang Du had several relationships. When he heard Liang Qichao mention it, he knew why he said this. The reason is very simple. Mrs. Liu and Qinhuai Bank are one of the most important supporters of the Li Jianming Party, and Liang Qichao's words are undoubtedly telling him a fact- The Constitutional Party cannot be separated from the support of "big entrepreneurs" like Mrs. Liu. To be precise, it is "retainment".

"However, I have heard that my wife asked her son to do business in the company as an exercise."

Then, he said with a solemn look.

"So as to understand the suffering of the workers, and only in this way will he treat the workers well."

Close your eyes slightly.

"The suffering of workers needs to be understood by the world, and we should... understand it!"

Looking at Yang Du, although he was as smart as Liang Qichao, he didn't know what the "fake Zen master" was doing at this time, so he had to nod and agree.

"Xizi, what you said is very true. The establishment of the party is established, the party is established for the public, and the suffering of the workers is also the suffering of our generation. How can we not understand it!"

Almost saw Yang Du from Liang Qichao, and the two of them were constantly playing dumb fans there. I'm afraid that only the two of them can really understand what is behind this leader and a pair of dumb fans. But it is obviously not a good thing for dumb fans to continue to fight like this, especially for Liang Qichao, he came today. I'm here in exchange for Yang Du's support for him.

Perhaps, the two parties have long been merged into one party, thus ending the situation of the royalist party's dominant party in the lower house of the Diet. However, in fact, after the merger of the two parties, it is still in the process of reconverging and sorting out. In this discussion involving principles, without Yang Du's support, Liang Qichao believes that It is difficult to reach a consensus within the party.

After all, this problem involves the problem of "taking and giving up", but until now, Yang Du is a Taoist priest who "jumps out of the three worlds" and is obsessed with him there, which is always a little difficult for Liang Qichao to do. Especially after he said that he will not stand by, he not only failed to relax. On the contrary, he is even more nervous, because up to now, Liang Qichao has not been able to understand what kind of medicine is sold in Yang Xizi's gourd!
