The conference closed successfully, Fang Zida was elected chairman, and Song Jiaoren, as the former chairman, was only elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee. Before all the participants could disperse, this earth-shaking news spread throughout the capital.

When they learned that Song Jiaoren was not elected, all parties were surprised and happy. The Beiyang clan was too surprised. After all, the newly elected Fang Zida had a deep relationship with the Beiyang clan, and they could accept it more than Song Jiaoren. As for surprise, compared with Song Jiaoren, Fang Zida's methods were more tough. Don't look at his usual kindness, but Fang Butcher's name has spread all over the country since the 8th Division incident in Nanjing that year. There is also the Xu Shuzheng case. Once the bottom line is reached, no matter how much you make contributions back then, Fang Zida will turn against others.

As for other parties, the same is true. The huge changes in the KMT Central Committee made them applaud. In the eyes of these parties, the leading KMT has begun to split. Song Jiaoren, as the former chairman and current Prime Minister, has actually lost the position of chairman. There will inevitably be a continuous battle for rights within KMT. With Fang Zida's toughness and Song Jiaoren's connections, this battle is not yet known. This will weaken KMT's cohesion and give other parties an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This view is the judgment of most people, and even analysts from Japan and other countries who have been paying close attention to China's political situation also felt this way. After the founding of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai, an absolutely strong man, took control of the overall situation. With the cooperation between China's strongest military faction and China's largest party, the foundation of the Republic of China is laid.

After Yuan Shikai's death, due to Fang Zida's handling, the Beiyang faction and kmt cooperated closely, and over-smoothly, and completed the nominal prime minister system to the substantive prime minister system, and continued to implement the constitutional system, which did not affect much the development of the Republic of China.

But now it is different. Doesn’t Fang Zida’s election and Song Jiaoren’s failure indicate the formal breakup between the Beiyang system, the centrist and the kmt veteran system, especially the Fang and Song? If nothing unexpected happens, a turmoil is coming, and it is obvious that China’s political situation is turbulent. Such judgment is not only Japanese. Even the British, French, Americans... all think so. On the second day of Fang Zida’s election, the countries of the Allied countries sent congratulatory messages to congratulate Fang Zida on being elected as Chairman of the KMT and replace Song Jiaoren in charge of the KMT. At the same time, behind the official congratulatory messages, the Allied countries also expressed their concerns about the current political situation in China, and indirectly asked how the Chinese government would reorganize the cabinet after the KMT change, whether China, as a member of the Allied countries, would affect the ongoing European wars, etc.

Regarding these issues, although Fang Zida responded to various countries with confidence on the surface, ensuring the stability of China's political situation and the continuity of national policies, privately, Fang Zida was also considering this issue after winning the election. According to the Constitution, after he was elected as Chairman of the KMT, he could directly submit an application for reorganization to the Congress, and Fang Zida, as the chairman of the largest party in the Congress, took over as Prime Minister.

But in order not to stimulate Song Jiaoren, Fang Zida did not do this, because he knew that it would be of any benefit to him immediately when he made such an application. Instead, it would give people a feeling that he could not wait to seize power. However, Fang Zida was not so stupid even if he was willing to sit on the throne of the prime minister. Even if his subordinates refused, there would be no party chairman as the chief of finance, and the principle of a member of the Central Executive Committee as the Prime Minister. If this situation continues, let alone whether Fang and Song Jiaoren will be embarrassed, even other parties will not look at it. At that time, it is not only Fang and Song. I am afraid that the entire kmt will become a joke.

In response to this, Yang Du, Yang Yongtai, Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao, Wu Peifu, Xia Shoutian, Dong Hongzhi, Wang Xiaozhen, Huang Kaiyuan... and others urge Fang Zida to request the reorganization of the Congress as the chairman of the kmt as soon as possible, and to obtain the position of speaker of the two houses as the leader of the largest party in the Congress, and then force Song Jiaoren to dissolve the cabinet and carry out reorganization.

No matter what kind of thoughts these people were thinking, Fang Zida shook his head and refused. In the next few days, guests from Fang Zida's official residence came to visit every day. There were almost a mile long queues in the alley in front of the door. These candies were not good or bad, and Fang Zida had to take the time to meet a few people, and most of them only let Yang Du and others send them away.

In the next few days, in addition to Yang Du and others, even Yan Xishan and several members of the Central Executive Committee instigated Fang Zida to form a cabinet as soon as possible. Fang Zida had a patient conversation with these people, and shook his head and smiled bitterly after seeing them off.

"Zhangming, there are so many dreams!"

Yang Du advised from the side that in his opinion, the overall situation has been decided, and the stool under Song Jiaoren's butt is already Fang Zida. This is not the time to play a gentleman. Politics are cruel. Once Fang Zida hesitates, it will be troublesome if the situation changes.

Moreover, although Fang Zida has support from many Fang Zida, it is also indispensable for the efforts of other fiction-headed teachers. These fiction-headed teachers are no different from members. They have a purpose in recommending Fang Zida as the chairman. The purpose is to borrow Fang Zida to get the rights or benefits from him that he had not been able to get from Song Jiaoren at the beginning.

Once Fang Zida is unable to re-establish the cabinet, these people are disappointed and may turn against each other. If they are not sure, the situation will be messed up. And how many of the Central Executive Committee members who came to visit Fang Zida today are like this, and Yan Xishan is one of them.

"Don't worry, I know it naturally." Fang Zida smiled faintly and walked towards the study room with his hands behind his back. Seeing Fang Zida's appearance of being confident, Yang Du was stunned for a moment, and wanted to persuade him again, but shook his head again, sighed and followed quickly.

Two more days later, Fang Zida finally waited for the two people he had been waiting for.

"Mr. Shaochuan, Brother Zhongkai!"

Upon hearing that Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai came to visit, Fang Zida hurriedly asked someone to invite them into the inner hall, and changed their clothes and rushed over.

"Brother Zheng Ming!" Seeing Fang Zida come in, Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai stood up and bowed. Fang Zida hurriedly asked them to sit down. After waiting for the tea, he smiled and asked, "Are the two brothers coming today because of Brother Dunchu?"

Tang Shaoyi's face flashed a little surprised, and he nodded and said, "Yes, Zhongkai and I came here because of Song Dunchu."

Fang Zida nodded slightly and said calmly: "It's almost time to calculate it. Although I have some conflicts with Brother Dun Chu, I am still friends after all. I think I know some things. It's not my reason, but I have to do it. It seems that Brother Dun Chu has figured it out. This is also good. First, the overall situation is the priority, and second, it won't be embarrassing to meet everyone in the future."

Liao Zhongkai sighed and shook his head. He knew about the matter between Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida, but in the end he was powerless. Seeing the two sides fighting, Song Jiaoren finally lost his position as chairman. As Song Jiaoren's friend, Liao Zhongkai felt very uncomfortable. If it were not for the party system, he even wanted to give his position as vice chairman Yu Song Jiaoren to take charge. Today, when he came to see Fang Zida, he was indeed entrusted by Song Jiaoren, and was preparing to have a good talk with Fang Zida.

Compared with Liao Zhongkai, although Tang Shaoyi felt a little regretful, he was not that sad. After all, he was a prime minister and had long seen through politics. Although he did not know everything about Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida, he also knew one or two. Now this result is not unacceptable. As long as kmt is not split because of the two of them, everything can be discussed.

Moreover, before coming, Fang Zida's attitude also calmed them down. Fang Zida did not immediately ask Congress for reorganization of the cabinet after serving as chairman, but waited for changes. This also shows that he did not want to force Song Jiaoren to be too much and gave him face. If Song Jiaoren continues to fight, they may be the first to refuse.

This is indeed the purpose that Fang Zida wanted. He did not want to do it, but he did not want to do it, so he did not make a decision. After all, Song Jiaoren was the leader of the party for many years and the current Prime Minister. Forced too much is not a good thing for the country and the party. Fang Zida did not want to see Sun Yat-sen appear again. The current political situation of the country needs stability rather than turmoil. The fragile China can no longer withstand such political turmoil.

The purpose of Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai to come together was to invite Fang Zida for Song Jiaoren. After a while, Fang Zida agreed to go to the Prime Minister's Office now. In order to keep it confidential, they left from the side door of the backyard and got into Tang Shaoyi's car. In a short while, they arrived at the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister's Office is still the original Prime Minister's Office, and the owner here is still the original owner. However, Song Jiaoren is now much decadent compared to the past few days. His already thin figure seems to have lost weight. His eyes are deep and his tidy horoscope is a bit messy. You can tell at a glance that he has not taken care of for many days.

"Dunchu, Zhengming is here." Liao Zhongkai and Tang Shaoyi brought Fang Zida to the room, knocked on the door a few times, then pushed open the door and saw Song Jiaoren sitting in the sofa without knowing what he was thinking. He spoke, and then turned around and smiled bitterly at Fang Zida.

"Oh, Zheng Ming... please come in." Song Jiaoren's eyes slowly gathered without focus, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

"Get in, Zheng Ming, Mr. Shaochuan and I won't go in. I hope you can...hey..." Liao Zhongkai took Fang Zida's hand and patted him gently, looked at him meaningfully, turned around and stayed outside with Tang Shaoyi.

When he walked into the room and closed the door casually, Fang Zida frowned and looked at the room. In broad daylight, Song Jiaoren pulled the curtains and a light lit up in the room. The dim look was filled with a feeling of indescribability.
