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

The next day, Song Jiaoren went to the Presidential Palace alone for a banquet. Outsiders did not know exactly what he and Yuan Shikai talked about, but it is said that someone saw Yuan Shikai personally send Song Jiaoren out. The conversation seemed to go well.

After returning, Song Jiaoren didn't say much about the matter, but once again told everyone to continue to contact comrades inside and outside the party in the south, and everything should be based on stability. Some fluctuating hearts, set about speeding up the work of the Congress.

A few days later, Fang Zida was suddenly notified to attend a party meeting. When he got there, he was surprised to find that except for a few people who were determined to oppose Yuan Shikai, almost all the KMT party directors and councilors in Beijing had arrived.But what surprised him even more was yet to come. After the meeting started, Song Jiaoren first talked about the attitude of Sun Wen and others in the south towards large loans, and reminded everyone present that stability and unity must be maintained at the moment, and politics must not Just on impulse.Now that constitutionalism is imminent, topics such as recklessness should not spoil the overall situation.Then they raised the issue of establishing an intra-party statistics group, and offered Fang Zida to serve as the group leader. The main job was to assist the chairman, Song Jiaoren, in making statistics and adjustments to certain tasks within the party.

Fang Zida was caught off guard by this situation. Song Jiaoren had not exchanged any opinions with him beforehand, and Fang Zida was only an observer in this kind of meeting and had no right to express his opinions.What's more, after Song Jiaoren made this suggestion, Tang Shaoyi was the first to agree, and then Liao Zhongkai and others also agreed. What's even more strange is that Zhang Ji also agreed on the spot. Wang Zhengting also nodded with a smile.

The resolution was quickly passed, and Fang Zida became the leader of the newly released party statistics team. His official position in the party is now the leader of the kmt central statistics team. This name made Fang Zida dizzy on the spot. According to the Chinese custom, this The abbreviation of the department is almost the same as that of a notorious secret service organization. Fang Zida became such an official out of nowhere, and I really don't know what to say.

The meeting was very brief. After the meeting, Fang Zida deliberately stayed behind. Song Jiaoren and Tang Shaoyi, who seemed to know what he wanted to ask, laughed at the same time. After Tang Shaoyi also left, Song Jiaoren greeted Fang Zida in front of him Sitting next to him again.

"Brother Zhang Ming, are you blaming me for beheading first and playing later?"

"It's a bit." Fang Zida didn't hide it. Song Jiaoren laughed, and then his face gradually became serious again: "Shang Ming!" Patting his hand, Song Jiaoren said earnestly: "The situation is very bad now. , it can be said to be quite bad. A few days ago I had a private conversation with President Yuan Da, and it was hard to get him to promise not to use force temporarily, but you also know that such promises are countless. Sun Yat-sen Rebellion is the best, and he is a layman in politics and national construction. To put it bluntly, he is a shit stick! How can he mess up politics like this? He has to shout slogans at every turn, turn on the electricity? Want to rebel? I think he is simply It’s because of rebellion that he has become addicted, and if he doesn’t rebel, he will feel uncomfortable every day!”

As he spoke, Song Jiaoren became angry, took a drink from the cup on the table, and continued: "There is a saying in the West that politics is an art of compromise, so what's the problem that everyone can't calm down?" What is even more annoying is that some party members disregarded the interests of the country and followed Sun Wen's buttocks, especially Chen Qimei, who are typical successes but failures Reasons! A lot of good things are messed up by people like them. I, Song Jiaoren, are not alarmist today. If I really use swords and guns that day, I am afraid that they will be the first to shrink back. No matter who you are Believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"

Fang Zida was speechless, looking at Song Jiaoren who was a little agitated, he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps it was because the anger in his heart had been suppressed for a while, Song Jiaoren really scolded Sun Wen and the others, and after the scolding, he gradually calmed down, shook his head and said: "Brother Cheng Ming has been in the party for some time, If you think about it, you also know the Tongmenghui, the predecessor of our party? Before the establishment of the Tongmenghui, there were more than a dozen large and small anti-Qing associations such as Hongmen, Tiandihui, Xingzhonghui, and Guangfuhui. Therefore, the membership structure of our party has always been very complicated. The political parties in the country are very different. Among other things, just one cross-party member is a real headache. Some comrades in the party have crossed two parties, some have crossed three parties, and even more outrageous cross People from the four parties and five parties, such as Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun, have party cards of eight parties in his drawer, one of which is from our kmt. How can this be a party member who holds true revolutionary ideas? Engage in political speculation. Of course, there are special reasons for some aspects, just like what kind of revolutionary party Sun Wen organized in Japan this time. With Sun Wen’s appeal in the party, some old party members could not refuse the invitation to join the new party. But such a Come on, the cohesion of our party has become a big problem. There are hundreds of factions in the party, and there are parties in the party. How can it go on like this? Because of this, I propose to set up this central statistical team within the party. Brother Ming Although you are a new party member, including me and some old comrades in the party, I think you are a capable person who can take on this important task. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Cheng Ming for this troubled country and for the realization of democracy. , in order to complete the real road to constitutionalism, help me!"

Fang Zida couldn't argue with Song Jiaoren's sincere words. In the end, he swallowed all the reproaches that had come to his lips, and nodded to accept the appointment.

Smiling with relief, Song Jiaoren seriously explained to Fang Zida his main work in the future, and told him about his work that Song Jiaoren, as the chairman of the board, would fully support him.After Fang Zida, who was frowning, left, Tang Shaoyi and Liao Zhongkai, who had already left just now, turned around quietly from behind.

On the way back, Fang Zida was very depressed. He never thought that he would be suddenly put on the fire.Although he didn't reject Song Jiaoren's appointment, he knew in his heart what the appointment was about. In a trance, he even wondered if Song Jiaoren was using himself as a gunman and deliberately letting himself charge forward. What is the purpose of attracting firepower?But Fang Zida told himself that it was impossible when he first got this idea. After all, in the days when he met Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren left him with the impression of a modest gentleman and a politician with conscience. In Fang Zida's view, Song Jiaoren Jiaoren sometimes acts a little naive and naive. Will such a person really change suddenly?Fang Zida couldn't answer this answer, but no matter what, he was indeed moved and convinced by Song Jiaoren's words today, but he also left a question that could not be answered for the time being.
