Seeing Fang Zida's shocked look, Yang Du smiled and asked again while shaking the folding fan.

At this time, Fang Zida had gradually calmed down from the initial shock. He looked at Yang Du in confusion, thinking about what he wanted to sell in Yang Du's gourd.

Yuan Shikai is still in power, and Yang Du's status is important as the confidant of Yuan Yuan. What's more, Yang Du himself said that he learned the art of emperors. Yuan Shikai was able to move from the Beiyang minister step by step to the Republic of China today.

The position of president is a great success for Yang Du as a strategist. Although Yuan Shikai's health has been deteriorating in recent years, he is still ill and heroic. As a confidant, Yang Du actually asked Fang Zida whether he was willing to take office. This is a must

It surprised Fang Zida and puzzled.

In theory, as the successor of the emperor's art, Yang Du, even if Yuan Shikai dies in the future, should support the descendants of the Yuan family, especially his elder brother-in-law Yuan, who is sharpened every day and wants to be the real prince.

Why didn't Yang Du ask him? Although Fang Zida is half of the Yuan family, he is not as good as the father-son relationship between Lao Yuan and Yuan Keding. It is really inappropriate to ask this question.

What's more, Yuan Shikai's beating and the leak of plans against the Japanese a while ago made Fang Zida even more alert. Yang Du is not an ordinary person. No matter how good their relationship is, it is just a personal relationship. Friends are friends, and politics is politics.

Fang Zida is not so naive that he can hear the wind and rain. What if Yang Du deliberately inquire about Yuan Shikai...

"Brother Xizi was joking..." Fang Zida, who calmed down, laughed at himself: "President Yuan was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and his physical discomfort was just a minor illness. Now it is the Republic of China. What has been realized is a constitutional political country, who will take any position.

, the state system is in its own right, nominations from the President and Prime Minister. How can we discuss the approval of Congress?”

"Hahaha!" Yang Du laughed: "Ye Fang Junming, you are too cautious, right? I'm here, I'm here, I'm talking about it. If I don't say it, I won't say it, how do outsiders know it?

?Is it possible that I, Yang Du, is just a messenger in the eyes of Yifang Junming?"

Fang Zida smiled faintly and did not continue. Yang Du smiled a few times, then leaned forward slightly and said seriously: "I don't need this between me. Brother Jun Ming, have I been with me for many years? Don't you understand me Yang.

Du’s personality? To be honest, President Yuan may not have much time to go. Once he leaves the world, it will inevitably cause political turmoil. As for the current national situation, I probably don’t want to see this happening, whether it is public or private.

?Since that's the case, why not prepare early? It's also to avoid being unable to control the overall situation and leading to a fall apart in the government."

Nodded slightly. Yang Du’s words are reasonable. In fact, Fang Zida has been considering this issue. This is also his strong focus on Yuan Shikai’s condition and uses folk remedies to help treat it. He also encouraged Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren and others to promote the construction of the National Defense Forces.

.As long as Yuan Shikai's safety is guaranteed for a few years, after everything is on track, even if Yuan Shikai dies, there will be no more turmoil. But now it seems that although Yuan Shikai's illness has improved slightly after taking medicine, the condition is still repeated and his health is getting better.

The struggle between various factions in the Beiyang is now with Yuan Shikai, and it can be suppressed for the time being, but once Yuan Shikai is gone, the struggle between Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang alone will not be suppressed, and the consequences will be difficult.

Expected.

What's more, foreign forces have not relaxed their attention to China, especially in Japan. Although Okamura Yanji returned in shame, Kenji Doihara died inexplicably. But who can guarantee that the Japanese will fail to do anything.

Come back again? The situation is stable and everything is easy to say. Once the situation is turbulent, they will come like omnipresent flies.

"I heard that Brother Xizi agreed to constitutional monarchy in his early years and even advocated that China cannot be without an emperor. But even so, according to Brother Xizi's logic, the ideal person should be Yuan Yuntai, why don't you look for him?"

"Hmph! Yuan Yuntai is just a priest, how can he be at a high position?" Yang Du said disdainfully. He was not optimistic about Yuan Keding at all. Don't look at this young master Yuan who is very ambitious and talented, and he is busy recently. But in Yang

Du's eyes are just a clown. He praised Yuan Keding as the leader. A smart talent like him, Yang Du, would not do such stupid things. Even if he wanted to choose someone, he had to choose someone with virtue and talent.

Shaking the folding fan, Yang Du raised his hand and pointed at Fang Zida and said, "Actually, there is something wrong with Zheng Ming. Although I, Yang Du, have learned the art of emperors, have also agreed to constitutional monarchy, and have also said that China cannot be without emperors, but I am not just

Advocate the imperial system. This emperor is different from that emperor. The emperor is just a title, just like the president. In other words, China cannot be without a strong leader."

"How do you understand this?" Fang Zida was slightly stunned. Yang Du was one of the important promoters of Yuan Shikai's claim to the empire in history. It can be said that in addition to Yuan Keding, who was eager to be the crown prince, Yang Du played a very important role in it.

It's so great. But now Yang Du not only belittled Yuan Keding, but instead defended himself that he did not absolutely agree with the imperial system, but just felt that China should have a strong man similar to Yuan Shikai to take over.

"It's strange..." Fang Zida was puzzled, and the eyes of Yang Du were puzzled. Could it be that Yang Du was wrongly beaten by Yuan Keding's subordinates and still holds a grudge today? Or

In the past few years, Yang Du's worldview has changed again? However, the situation of the latter is hard to say. Yang Du's life experience is rich and colorful, and his identity is extremely complex and strange. It is also mentioned in the history books that he became glorious in the end.

GCD party member?

"Constitutionalism is a good thing, but no matter how good things are, you can't eat them all the time." Yang Du said with a smile: "What do those in power rely on? One is prestige, the other is power, and the third is balance. These three are President Yuan, President Yuan

All of them are, which leads to the tacit understanding between the President and the Prime Minister and the progress of the Republic of China today. Once the person in high positions is that President Yuan is gone, can he be suppressed as the leader of the Song Dunchu First Party and the Prime Minister.

Stay with all parties and factions eyeing each other? If nothing else, it is impossible for the Beiyang faction alone. Once the balance of the high-level leadership is broken, the political situation will inevitably be turbulent, and the efforts of these years will be wasted. Brother Jun Ming, time is endless!"

"This is not necessarily." Fang Zida disagreed: "Now the advantages of constitutionalism have gradually emerged, and the construction of the National Defense Forces has been in place step by step. Local military and civil affairs are being separated one after another. Within three or five years, the country will be completely renewed, and the government departments will share the same relationship with each other.

Contains the two houses of Congress, and the military is state-owned. At that time, the political situation may not be shaken by a certain person, a party or a certain faction. Once anyone destroys peace, who is the sinner of the country and the nation, who dares to take risks if he is afraid of the enemy.

What if the world is so great that it is not done like this?"

"Brother Zheng Ming said it well!" Yang Du clasped his hands and praised: "If this is true, I, Yang Du, can return to my hometown and pick chrysanthemums in the southeast. But what if it doesn't work for 1,35 years? And then I will be born again.

What about the changes? For example, President Yuan…?”

Fang Zida was angry for a moment, but opened his mouth but couldn't answer. Yang Du's words hit the nail on the head. Fang Zida's idea was good, and the country was also walking on this road. If the plan went smoothly, it would be as Fang Zida said. At that time,

No one can shake the constitutional government. But no matter what you do, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something. This is Yuan Shikai.

For a moment, Fang Zida was speechless. Yang Du smiled slightly and said, "Zhengming, everyone in politics, who is more suitable than anyone else? I came from KMT and had a good personal relationship with Song Dunchu. Now I am the president again.

The good son-in-law has made many contributions to the country over the years, holding financial power, military industry and even industry and commerce. In addition, the Eighth Division and the 15th Division of the Army are all direct troops, and the Central Bank's escorts are already one side.

Powerful power. After the president, only Fang Junming has the ability and qualifications to take over the president's team."

"This is impossible." Fang Zida burst into laughter. Could it be that Yang Du was talking in his sleep? Although Fang Zida has a weight, he is too qualified after all, how could he succeed Yuan Shikai?

"Why is it impossible?" Yang Du asked subconsciously, and in a blink of an eye he understood and pointed at Fang Zida and laughed: "Zheng Ming, Zheng Ming, don't you think I mean to let Yi be the president, right?

”

Yang Du laughed a few times and wiped away the water droplets from the corners of his eyes: "It is impossible for the President. According to the Constitution, once the President leaves, except Vice President Li, only Song Dunchu can temporarily serve as the President as Prime Minister.

Trust. At most, Zheng Mingyi can only replace Song Dunchu. Of course, compared with the president, the Prime Minister actually has greater power now, and being a prime minister can also achieve his goal. But in my opinion, Song Dunchu

I will never be willing to be a short prime minister, so it is better for Jun Ming to serve as Vice Premier and Chief Finance Minister."

Yang Du's words made Fang Zida excited. Yang Du is worthy of being a strategist, and his analysis is correct. Instead of being a president with a high reputation and power, Song Jiaoren would definitely not do this. Moreover, according to the constitution, he also

He would give this opportunity to Li Yuanhong. Although Fang Zida cannot take the lead in one step, it is not impossible to take it further. The best position is what Yang Du calls Vice Premier and Chief Finance Minister.

"Haha, don't you think it's too early for these brothers to say?" Fang Zida was not moved, but he looked calm and gentle on the surface and said with a smile: "It's still inconvenient for me to negotiate such a big thing, I'm not inconvenient for negotiation, I'm not inconvenient for negotiation.

If it is reported that it will be out, neither the President nor the Premier Song will be spared."

Yang Du also laughed and nodded understandingly. Then he kept silent and stopped talking about this matter, but talked about other things. After chatting for a while, Yang Du said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he had a tacit look at Fang Zida.

, Everything is indifferent. (..)
