Beiyang reactionaries

That's really the case now.However, Xu Shichang was a very experienced politician in the late Qing Dynasty, how could he not know about Duan Xun's tricks.Now there is not enough quorum in the Congress, which was originally created by Duan Xun on purpose.

Duan Xun deliberately made the Congress insufficient quorum.

Xu Shichang has nothing to do about this.There is only one thing Xu Shichang cares about, and that is the election in September.Although Xu Shichang, the great president, has no rights, Xu Shichang is still very satisfied with his position as the great president.

In this election, Xu Shichang still wants to be the president again.

But the Congress is closed, so how can there be elections?

"President, what's the matter. It's not like this before. After the Congress is closed, we will set up a provisional Senate and complete the provisional election first. Now that the Congress is closed, we will prepare for a new congressional election and wait until the new Congress appears. , another formal election. There will be no problem."

"Provisional election?"

Xu Shichang frowned.

Said: "Degong, provisional election, the one elected is the provisional president."

"President, the Congressional elections will be completed next year, and then the official president will be elected."

"call--"

Xu Shichang was a little dissatisfied.

Because Xu Shichang is different from Duan Xun.Duan Xun is only 34 years old this year.There is still a lot of time, and I can still fight in the political arena for 40 to [-] years.There are opportunities in the future.

But Xu Shichang can't, Xu Shichang doesn't have many chances.

Xu Shichang is already 67 years old this year, and he is still waiting for this election to become the president, and then he will complete this term.He will be 72 years old by then.

It's not bad to leave the position of President.

But?

Xu Shichang looked at Duan Xun with an uncertain expression.The interim president, as long as a new Congress is born, it is possible to abolish the interim president anytime and anywhere.

Congressional elections?

Xu Shichang knows the tricks in it better than anyone else.

Since the first Congress, when Congress is actually elected.Needless to say, the Senate is all members recommended by the provinces.Whoever controls the power of the provinces, then the elected members of the Senate represent whose power.

Is the House of Representatives voted?

That's good?

It's all bullshit.There are so many illiterates in China now, few of them know what election is.Since the first parliamentary election in the second year of the Republic of China, more than half of the votes of members of parliament have been bought.

Whoever controls government power controls the votes.

Now that Duan Xun has dissolved the disobedient Congress, Duan Xun must control the next new Congress in his own hands.When the time comes to elect a president, you can let yourself go out in minutes.

"President, it's not entirely a bad thing that happened to members of Congress this time."

"What does De Gong mean?"

"Maybe the president hasn't heard the news yet. Xu Shuzheng has been at Speaker Wang (Wang Yitang)'s house some time ago."

"Xu Youzheng?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun did not elaborate.

But one word made Xu Shichang silent immediately.

Xu Shichang is a very experienced politician, and he immediately understood what Duan Xun meant.Who is Xu Shuzheng? That was Duan Qirui's number one confidant back then.Even when the Anfu Family Congress was established, the Kuomintang newspaper wrote a family tree of the Anfu Family.

With Xu Shuzheng as the center.

It is said that the grandfather is from Japan and the father is Duan Qirui.Then several important figures of Duan Qirui were Xu Shuzheng's brothers, and many of Duan Qirui's subordinates became Xu Shuzheng's sons, and even some people who were attached to the Wan family became Xu Shuzheng's grandsons.

This family tree of the Anfu family was a sensation at the time, and even suffered a lawsuit in the foreign concession.

It can also be seen that Xu Shuzheng's position in Duan Qirui's camp.

Xu Shuzheng coming to Beijing?

Living in Wang Yitang's house?

Without Duan Xunming's words, Xu Shichang also understood what Duan Xun meant.A person like Xu Shuzheng would not enter Beijing casually.If he enters Beijing, then there must be something important.

Living in Wang Yitang's house shows his purpose even more.

"President, you are the best candidate for the President in my heart."

"De Gong, do you mean I should thank you?"

Xu Shichang talked to Duan Xun with a half-smile.

Because Xu Shichang already fully understood what Duan Xun meant.Duan Xun didn't want Duan Qirui to leave the mountain, but Wang Yitang and the others had already fallen for Duan Qirui under Xu Shuzheng's fight.

That's why Duan Xun made a move to the point where the Congress was closed.Although Duan Xun and Duan Qirui have a good relationship, Duan Xun prefers someone like Xu Shichang who has no strength to be the president.

Xu Shichang didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"How can it be?"

Duan Xun shook his head.

Then he said: "President, what I mean is that Congress is not qualified to hold a meeting to decide the discussion on the qualifications of these members of Congress. In this case, I suggest that the Supreme Court conduct a final trial on the qualifications of these members of Congress as soon as possible. As long as the Supreme Court rules these If members of Congress do not have membership qualifications, the cabinet will announce that the number of members of Congress is not enough for a quorum and decide to close the Congress. I hope to get the support of the Presidential Office at that time."

Even if the Congress is closed, Duan Xun does not want to bear it alone.

Also pull down the presidential palace.

With the support of the Presidential Palace, it is much more justifiable.Moreover, there is no need for Duan Xun to shoulder the pressure of closing down the Congress alone.

Xu Shichang didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while and said, "How do you want to form the provisional Senate."

"I want to appoint Yang Wei to come forward to form a provisional Senate. Each province in the country recommends two members of the provisional Senate. Of course, in some special provinces, the list of members should be appropriately increased. The provisional Senate is a transitional institution, replacing the role of the National Assembly. Wait until the new After the parliamentary elections are over, the provisional Senate will be abolished."

"Row."

Xu Shichang sighed in his heart.

Each province recommends two provisional Senate members, which means that the provisional Senate is completely in the hands of Duan Xun.Not to mention other places, the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest are where Duan Xun started his career.Duan Xun has controlled those provinces for six or seven years.

Duan Xun also controlled other central cities, including Hubei, Henan, Guangxi, and Shaanxi provinces, for three or four years.Even in places where the control is relatively late, places such as Zhili, Rehe, Jilin, Chahar, and Shandong have already been controlled for two years.
