******************

Rushing to the Presidential Palace in a car, he unexpectedly bumped into Song Jiaoren at the gate who also came to see Yuan Shikai. As soon as he saw him, Zhao Bingjun hurried over to greet him, took Song Jiaoren's hand and complained: "Brother Dunchu, you

It’s better to take over as Prime Minister of the Interior as soon as possible, I really can’t sit in this position anymore!”

"Brother Zhi'an, why did you say this?" Song Jiaoren asked in surprise: "Brother Zhi'an is the officially appointed Prime Minister of the Interior, how can he say such a thing?"

"Dunchu, Dunchu, don't make this joke with brother Wei. Anyway, I can't work as Prime Minister of the Interior for a day. You should take over quickly. It would be more appropriate for me to go back to work in the police system."

Song Jiaoren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhi'an, it's not something Jiaoren is willing to do, there is really nothing we can do! You also know that Jiaoren's greatest wish in this life is constitutional government, constitutional government, and there is no rule without rules. Jiaoren

How could he go back on his word?

Come? Besides, how can you and I grant the position of Prime Minister to each other? Isn’t this the feudal Manchu Qing Dynasty? Now, the work of the Congress is progressing smoothly, and the formal election will be next. Brother Zhi’an only needs to survive this period.

, it’s not too late to wait for the election results to come out before resigning!”

"This... I'm afraid my bones will have to be dried out before the day I leave office!" Zhao Bingjun's mouth was filled with bitterness, and he was about to shed tears as he felt sour in his heart.

"Haha, how is this possible?" Song Jiaoren quickly consoled him: "Brother Zhi'an, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Acting like a daughter is just for people to laugh at. Let's not talk about resigning as prime minister for now, and consider the overall situation of the country.

, No matter what, I, Song Jiaoren, will definitely help you!"

"Do you take Dunchu's words seriously?" Zhao Bingjun's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

"Of course!" Song Jiaoren said with a serious face: "What are your and my ideals? Isn't it the hope that the country will be prosperous and strong and democratic? The road to realizing constitutional government? So, no matter what position you and I are in, when the country is in trouble, we can

Not contributing? Heaven and earth are a lesson. I, Song Jiaoren, only have the word 'justice' in my heart and nothing else! Please take care of yourself, Brother Zhi'an, the country really cannot do without you, Brother Zhi'an!"

"Thank you, thank you Dunchu. It makes me feel more at ease to say that I am a brother. By the way, it is already late. The president may be impatient to wait. Let's go in quickly." Zhao Bingjun was extremely grateful after hearing this.

The worries surrounding him seemed to be swept away at once. He puffed up his chest and walked quickly into the presidential palace. Behind him, Song Jiaoren smiled slightly at first, then his face became extremely solemn, and he followed him in.

.

At the Presidential Palace, almost all the important figures in the government were present today. When Song Jiaoren entered the room, Chief of Army Duan Qirui, Chief of Navy Liu Guanxiong, Chief of Finance Zhou Xuexi, Chief of Justice Xu Shiying, Chief of Transportation Zhu Qiqian, Chief of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, etc.

People were already sitting at the lower end, including the Director-General of Industry and Commerce Liu Kuiyi and the Director-General of Agriculture and Forestry Chen Zhenxian.

Seeing Song Jiaoren, Zhao Bingjun and others entering the door, everyone present was stunned. They all turned their attention to Song Jiaoren, who was walking behind Zhao Bingjun. Today, Yuan Shikai summoned everyone, and everyone knew what the reason was, but in this situation

What happened when Song Jiaoren, who was the chairman of KMT at that time, came here? Could it be that he came here specifically to demonstrate to President Yuan Da because of the students' riots?

"Dunchu was specially invited by me." Seeing everyone's expressions, Yuan Shikai explained specially, and then asked Song Jiaoren, Zhao Bingjun and others to sit down quickly.

"How is the situation with the students outside?" After the servant who brought tea left, Yuan Shikai first asked Zhao Bingjun, and at the same time glanced at Dong Hongyi.

Dong Hongbo immediately sat on pins and needles, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Yuan Shikai, and took out his handkerchief to continue wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Sighing, Zhao Bingjun reported the situation and said that he would settle the matter as soon as possible. Yuan Shikai also understood Zhao Bingjun's difficulties and did not blame him too much. He just asked him to pay attention to the solution and focus on persuasion, and not to be too impulsive.

"President, don't worry. Before Jiaoren came, I had everyone go to the streets to persuade them. I think the student incident will be settled soon. I just ask the president not to blame these young students too much afterwards." Song Jiaoren appropriately said.

After interjecting a few words, Yuan Shikai suddenly smiled, nodded and praised repeatedly.

"It's better to get to know each other for the first time! Hey, these student dolls are just too young. They are easily taken advantage of by others if they are not involved deeply. I won't blame them. I think about those days, who was not young and passionate at that time?

?The way I see it, after this situation subsides, the Ministry of Education will come forward and organize the schools to rectify their study style and let these kids realize their mistakes."

Zhao Bingjun heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head and complained softly to Song Jiaoren beside him: "I didn't tell Brother Wei about this before Dun Chugang, which made Brother Wei worried all his life."

"Haha, didn't I just say that I will definitely help Brother Zhi'an, whether in public or private matters." Song Jiaoren responded softly.

At this time, Duan Qirui said: "The President, the four governors of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Anhui jointly sent a telegram to force the central government. The central government must not sit idly by and ignore it. I have a telegram here, which was signed by the governors of the other seventeen provinces to express support.

The central government supports the president and borrows money to deal with the aftermath."

After saying that, Duan Qirui stood up and handed a telegram to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai looked at it carefully, and then handed the telegram to Zhao Bingjun, who was next to him, for everyone to pass on.

"This is a good thing! It shows that the people's hearts are still on the side of the president." Zhao Bingjun said happily after reading the telegram. Everyone else read it one by one and nodded in agreement.

"What you said is true, but the current situation is not optimistic." Duan Qirui said worriedly: "The governors of the four provinces are united, and there are also Chen Qimei and Shanghai..." At this point, Qirui glanced at Song Jiao.

Jen: “With Sun Wen in Japan

They have been communicating in private. According to the information obtained by the Ministry of War, Jiangxi Li Liejun has recently arrived in Shanghai and is conspiring with Chen Qimei and others. He also claims that the president is the murderer of Huang Xing's case, saying that the president does this because he wants to be dictatorial and want to be the emperor.

"

"Yes, President, we must guard against the chaos of the Southern Party. If we let them cause trouble, we will be in big trouble. Please make a decision as soon as possible, President!" Liang Shiyi advised from the side.

Liang Shiyi started, and most of the people present agreed. Only a few people remained silent for the time being, including Song Jiaoren of course.
