Chapter 380 Marco Polo Bridge (please vote for me!)

Marco Polo Bridge,

After the car stopped, Li Zicheng stood on the Marco Polo Bridge and looked quietly at the Yongding River. Unlike the Yongding River that had dried up in later generations, the surface of the river at this time was rippled and sparkling...

You should be able to see the beautiful scenery of "Dawn Moon over Lugou" in this era!

Muttering in his heart, Li Zicheng, who was walking on the Marco Polo Bridge, looked at the stone lions on the pillar. In later generations, he remembered that when he visited the Marco Polo Bridge, the bullet marks left by the "Marco Bridge Incident" on the pillar were clearly visible. At this time, on the pillar

Apart from the erosion caused by wind and rain, there are no bullet marks at all, and there will be no more in the future.

Yes, none of that will happen again, because standing here, I have already embarked on the journey to take charge of this country. Although it is only the first step, this step is quite solid. From now on...

"Sir, why don't you go and give a speech?"

The secretary-general's words brought a smile to Li Zicheng's face and he looked back at his secretary-general.

"Then...why doesn't the president go?"

"The president is afraid of Congress!"

"No,"

Shaking his head, Li Zicheng pondered for a while while leaning on the pillar before speaking.

"Yuan Shikai has never been afraid of Congress, but it is true that he doesn't like Congress! He doesn't even bother to show off to Congress, because Congress has no power at all! No one will buy into a Congress without power!

"

Do you buy into Congress’s account?

After saying these words, Li Zicheng said to himself silently in his heart.

Obviously the answer is no, Congress is just a tool!

For Li Zicheng, his understanding of Congress may only stop at this step. His past experience tells him that the key to success is to use all available means and all available resources. Only in this way can he be successful.

, and Congress is part of the resources, that's all. Yuan Shikai's use of Congress is nothing more than to take advantage of his legitimacy, and his use of Congress is to balance Yuan Shikai's authority.

"That's why we need to help Congress establish its authority. A Congress with authority will no longer despise or ignore it!"

With a smile on his face, Li Zicheng said silently in his heart - this Congress must be controlled by himself, huh! It should be a Congress in which the National Socialist Party holds the majority, or even a Congress exclusively dominated by the National Socialist Party, if necessary.

!

The Prime Minister's words silenced the Prime Minister. Originally, the Prime Minister had prepared to deliver a speech for the resumption of Congress, but he had been waiting outside the Congress. After receiving the news that the President did not deliver a speech, the Prime Minister ordered the driver to leave the Congress. If the Prime Minister did deliver a speech, then in the capital

It will leave people with the impression that the Prime Minister is only on the same level as Liang Shiyi, the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, rather than the presiding officer of the State Council.

For this reason, the Prime Minister even did not hesitate to offend those members of Congress.

"Prime Minister, should we think of some way to restore the impression left on the Congress?"

As a kind reminder, I noticed that the Prime Minister's attention was entirely on Xiaoyue Lake at this time. He just looked at the lake quietly. After a while, I heard him say in a low voice.

"Well, let's wait until the day after tomorrow!"

The day after tomorrow, what day is the day after tomorrow? It’s the day when the Prime Minister takes office!

"Li Zhiyuan went to Marco Polo Bridge?"

When Yuan Shikai asked rhetorically, he lit a cigar for himself, then frowned and thought about it, and after a while he said:

"Ji Fu, the parliament will meet today. How sure can we be?"

Liang Shiyi, who didn't understand what the president meant, didn't smoke the lit cigar, closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, and said:

"There is no problem with the Progressive Party. Liang Qichao will definitely vote for Li Zicheng, and there is no doubt with the National Socialist Party. It is estimated that Li Zicheng's nomination as prime minister will not have any problems..."

“Will the speakers of the House and Senate be from us?”

Yuan Shikai looked at the Secretary-General with a scrutinizing gaze. He didn't even understand what he meant. Li Zicheng's nomination, without thinking about it, knew that there would be no problem. The problem now is the candidate for the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Li Zicheng's move to go to Marco Polo Bridge made Yuan Shikai vaguely feel that his seemingly disrespectful behavior of Congress might have some hidden meaning, and he must always plan for anything in advance.

Upon hearing that it was the nominee for the speaker of both houses, Liang Shiyi opened his mouth to answer after a moment of silence.

"The general trend is, I don't think there will be any trouble."

In Liang Shiyi's view, this general trend is actually the majority of the two houses occupied by the Progressive Party and the Mongolian, Xinjiang and Tibetan members. Perhaps on the surface, the National Socialist Party and the Progressive Party are equally divided in the Congress, but if the Mongolian, Xinjiang and Tibetan members are added to the

, Tibetan MP, the National Socialist Party is still at a disadvantage.

"You can't rely on your imagination."

Yuan Shikai shook his head.

"This shouldn't be a problem. With the addition of Mongolian, Xinjiang and Tibetan members, we still have the majority."

Liang Shiyi filled his mouth with the cigar, sucked it gently, blinked slowly, and said nothing.

Yuan Shikai also blinked slowly and smoked his cigar gently. But he was not silent. After puffing for a while, he looked at Liang Shiyi and said:

"I have to gather those people from the small party and make sure they can be used by me!"

"Close?"

Liang Shiyi naturally understood what the president meant.

"Those who need to scatter the money have already dispersed it. Those who can catch it will naturally not be able to escape; those who cannot catch it may not be able to do anything for a while."

"Well, that's not enough. I remember that last time we dealt with the Kuomintang, we won over a lot of people. See if you can get some articles from the National Socialist Party members. I guess we should be able to get it from the speakers of the two houses.

, but who knows what articles will be published in the future. Party politics is popular now. If my prediction is correct, Li Zhiyuan will definitely make an article on it. He wants to make an article in Congress. Let’s do it in the National Socialist Party.

Make a fuss about yourself!"

Now that Yuan Shikai had decided on a solution, Liang Shiyi was of course happy to follow suit. After saying a few words of approval, he asked again:

"Who should come forward in this matter?"

On the surface, the Presidential Office and the State Council want to maintain a peaceful relationship, but behind the scenes, the knife cannot stop, so even if they want to come forward, someone outside the Presidential Office must come forward.

"It doesn't matter who comes forward."

After putting out the cigar in the ashtray, Yuan Shikai looked at Liang Shiyi and said:

"The key is who will preside over this matter."

Of course anyone can buy someone, but the host is the top priority. Liang Shiyi nodded, but there was no suitable candidate in his mind for the moment.

"Who should host it?"

"I have thought about it again and again, and I feel that this position belongs to you, my husband."

Yuan Shikai blinked his eyes and looked at Liang Shiyi, but he sneered in his heart. What was Liang Shiyi thinking? He naturally knew very well that being in the middle did not necessarily mean he could gain anything. Li Zhiyuan regarded the National Socialist Party as a prisoner for him. As long as Liang Shiyi was in the National Socialist Party

If he was thinking about it, he wouldn't even think about getting anything good from Li Zhiyuan.

"I?"

Feeling slightly startled, Liang Shiyi instantly understood Yuan Shikai's idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

Yuan Shikai nodded.

"Can I?"

"OK!"

Yuan Shikai said confidently:

"People are walking to higher places. I don't know how many people want to seek refuge with us but they are afraid that the road is not smooth. We have reached out our hands to pull them, how can we not come over?"

"But...President, I am a member of the presidential palace. If I come forward, will it make Li Zhiyuan unhappy? I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation laid out by the president!"

Liang Shiyi tried to use the "overall situation" to oppose Yuan Shikai's suggestion, but Yuan Shikai suddenly laughed.

"I said, now that Congress has reopened, party politics is in effect. I have heard from some Americans like Morrison that even the various parties in the United States network with each other's party members. Let's do this.

, Li Zhiyuan will not only not annoy us, but he will also probably thank us!"

For Yuan Shikai, who had already made up his mind, how could he let Liang Shiyi get his wish? Looking at Liang Shiyi who was a little confused, he explained.

"The National Socialist Party claims to be a "party of faith" that "gathers like-minded comrades in the party to work together to make the country strong and the people prosperous." And "in this process, a large number of comrades must be eliminated because they are unable to follow in their footsteps.

"We are just helping Li Zhiyuan eliminate those who are weak-willed. What's more, don't worry, Yifu, Li Zhiyuan will understand our painstaking efforts!"

When Yuan Shikai said this, he completely blocked Liang Shiyi's path. Although Yuan Shikai's words were quoted from Li Zicheng's speech, everyone can say it in a situation, but it may not be done that way. Li Zhiyuan just doesn't do it.

He is generous, and he is not so generous that he spends money and effort to promote a congressman to become the president. If he really does this, he will offend Li Zhiyuan to death, and the president...

Looking at the president, Liang Shiyi sighed in his heart, leaving the evildoers to his subordinates, will he be able to step out and be the good guy then? With a sneer in his heart, Liang Shiyi bowed his head gently.

"Since the President trusts Shiyi so much, Shiyi must live up to the President's high expectations and help the President bring down the National Socialist Party!"

After Yuan Shikai said a few words of appreciation, Liang Shiyi said it seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"President, I heard a piece of news in the past few days. I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

"President, the matter is about Liang Qichao. It is said that he met with Zhang Binglin when he was in Lianyun. Liang Qichao and Li Zhiyuan have already reached a consensus on the speaker of the two chambers. On the candidate of the Senate Speaker, the National Socialist Party

Support the Progressive Party, and on the choice of deputy speaker, the Progressive Party supports the National Socialist Party. In the House of Representatives, the Progressive Party supports the National Socialist Party’s nomination for speaker, and the National Socialist Party supports the Progressive Party’s nomination for deputy speaker...”

As soon as Liang Shiyi finished speaking, Yuan Shikai's heart skipped a beat. He had never really trusted Liang Qichao. If he colluded with Li Zhiyuan in Congress, I'm afraid...

At this moment, a secretary of Yuan Shikai walked in from outside, holding a document in his hand. After entering the room, he bowed first and then said.

"President, the results of the speakers of the two houses of Congress are out!"

So fast... He was slightly startled, and Yuan Shikai took the document. When he saw the names on the document, Yuan Shikai's eyes suddenly opened.

"Liang Zhuoru..."
