Chapter 14 third quarter

No. 7 in the North Courtyard is the residence of the biography master Ye Qisun. Tsinghua North Campus was originally the residence of foreign professors. Its architectural style is completely modeled on Western-style buildings. Although it is not a building, it is extraordinarily tall.Its notable feature is that there are beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows on the south-facing side. The upper part next to the eaves is a fine Chinese-style lattice window, and the lower part is a glass window that goes all the way to the end.The window sill is very wide, and many flowers can be placed.Ye Qisun has little time, and most of the flowers he raises are grasses, such as orchids and pothos.The eaves protrude a lot, forming a verandah.There is usually a pergola outside the corridor, and grape wisteria is planted.In spring and summer, these vines are placed on climbing frames, so there are vine shadows and flowers printed on the windows.The indoor living room is very large, with a sofa and coffee table inside.Because he was single, Ye Qisun hired a chef to start his own business.The chef's skills are quite high, and he often cooks some exquisite side dishes, so it attracts some young professors who have returned from studying abroad to gather here.With the homeowner Ye Qisun as the core, they often take the opportunity to eat, and they are like traditional Chinese scholars. In addition to feeling sad, they often talk about state affairs or discuss school administration in order to plan the reform of Tsinghua University. After a long time, these The young people jokingly called themselves "No. 7 Rice Ball in the North Yard".

Many years later, Ye Qisun’s nephew, Ye Minghan, recalled when talking about the unique landscape in the Tsinghua Garden, “North Court No. 7 Rice Ball”: The most common scene of "North Yard No. 7 Rice Ball" is still that young and strong factions gather here to discuss their teachings.In addition to Ye Qisun and Chen Daisun, there are also Dean Shi Jiayang of the School of Engineering, Sa Bendong from the Department of Physics, Sa Bentie from the Department of Chemistry, Jin Yuelin from the Department of Philosophy, Zhang Xiruo, Qian Duansheng from the Department of Political Science and the Department of Western Literature. Ye Gongchao, Wu Mi, Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren and so on from the Academy of Chinese Studies.These are famous professors and the backbone of Tsinghua University.Ye Qisun is the dean of the Faculty of Science.Shi Jiayang is the dean of the School of Engineering.Chen Daisun is the Dean of the Law School.Jin Yuelin was the dean of the Department of Philosophy and the dean of Tsinghua University.Zhang Xiruo was invited by Cai Yuanpei to serve as the director of the Higher Education Department and the director of the Political Science Department of Tsinghua University. After the founding of New China, he served as the Minister of Education for 7 years.After Ye Qisun, Sa Bendong served as the director-general of Academia Sinica and the president of Xiamen University.Ye Gongchao was the director of the Department of Foreign Languages ​​at Tsinghua University and Southwest Associated University.After liberation, Qian Duansheng served as the dean of Peking University Law School and the dean of Beijing University of Political Science and Law.Wu Mi is the director of the Chinese Academy, and Chen Yinke and Zhao Yuanren are "professors among professors". This "No. 7 rice ball in the North Campus" has actually become the young soul of Tsinghua University.

However, the "fantuan" described by Ye Minghan was the "fantuan" in its heyday, and the members of the "fantuan" in its youth were as expected by Zhang Pengchun, but only Qian Duansheng, Wu Mi, Zhuang Zexuan, Chen Da, Wang Wenxian, Ye Qisun and others are just a few people.At that time, Chen Yinke and Chen Daisun had not yet come, and Sa Bendong, Wu Youxun and others were in the future. What's more, the interior of the newly established "Fantuan" was also ups and downs.The motives for rejecting Zhang members are not the same.The outspoken Wu Mi wrote in his diary long ago:

... (2) Those who oppose Zhang are the majority of the teaching staff.As for how to fight against it, the intentions are different.There are those who fight for power and profit because of personal enmity; there are also those who have different views and opinions because of official business; some secretly slander the principal and provoke all parties; By.Ruo Mi is an example of the latter.For Zhang, Mi also has two levels of criticism: (a) Zhang likes to be hypocritical (such as asking for a salary cut to prevent others from raising his salary), so people often suspect his hypocrisy and dare not Be open and honest, open and honest, and cooperate with each other.Ruo Mi is one of these people. (B) Mrs. Zhang is a very shrewd and capable person who can do things. He is by no means a gentleman who is soft and cowardly, upright and virtuous, nor is he a scholar who retreats peacefully and is ignorant of world affairs.What Mi said is true... ("Wu Mi Diary" 1925-1927, p. 146)

The short-lived activities of rejecting Zhang in Tsinghua Garden are like a sigh that has long gone with the wind. The reason why it is still mentioned from time to time may be because it is the first time that the young and strong factions formally participate in Tsinghua Garden. debut.As a latent force, it originally only existed in the speculation and reverie of Cao Yunxiang and others, but it was Cao himself's tricks that gave it a chance to emerge suddenly.Cao Yunxiang was originally a peacemaker, so he had no choice but to be cruel.But even so, when he wants to "cut" Zhang Pengchun, he still pays attention to the use of blood: first, he must not let outsiders (including Zhang Pengchun) see his knife, and second, he must not let his hands be stained with blood.In this way, using the hands of others to get rid of Zhang Pengchun is the perfect plan.

Cao Yunxiang's goal has been achieved. That day, after he expressed his intention of leaving to Zhang Pengchun in a private conversation, Zhang Pengchun had no intention of keeping him.He couldn't hide his smugness.In the following period of time, Zhang Pengchun played the role of the new owner of Tsinghua Garden, especially when the two were alone, everything Zhang Pengchun did was to remind Cao Yunxiang to complete his plan as soon as possible. Cao Yunxiang's plan was implemented in an orderly manner, secretly and methodically.First, he divided his troops into three groups, recruiting his confidant Cao Linsheng along the way, planning in the secret room, igniting the fire at the grassroots level, and disturbing a pool of spring water; As a bargaining chip, let Zhuang mobilize the young and strong factions to stand up in Tsinghua Garden as the main force to defeat Zhang; third, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enumerate Zhang's evil deeds, and let him make it clear that Zhang Pengchun will not be used.Three arrows were fired at once, and the arrows hit the target, which shows that Cao Yunxiang is very skillful, and at the same time, it also shows that he has used bureaucratic means to run Tsinghua University.

Scholar-to-scholar, scholar-to-student, even if they think they are at war, they are actually not free from bookishness.In the activity of rejecting Zhang, although the young and strong faction were suspected of being used by Cao, overall, they were well-known teachers and well-behaved, and the intention of these young professors was to "reject" rather than "fall", that is, to reject Zhang Pengchun. Succeeded as principal, but not killed with a stick.But Cao Yongxin was "falling", he just wanted to kill Zhang Yuma and make him leave Tsinghua University.In the young school, such as Qian Duansheng, Zhang Xinhai, etc., in order to reject Zhang, once issued a list of successor principals. This kind of behavior, which is very similar to democratic elections, makes modern people think it is quite funny, but it did happen in Tsinghua University. Pass.Many celebrities at that time, such as Hu Shi, Liang Qichao, Ma Yinchu, etc., were all chosen at the moment.Holding the list in their hands, the young school members went to Zhang Pengchun sincerely to persuade him to give up his original intention. If he agreed, as long as he did not become the principal, he promised Zhang to stay on as the dean.After Wu Mi obtained the consent of Ye Qisun, he specially approached Mr. Liang Qichao. After the discussion, a consensus was reached that Liang would be the principal. As long as Zhang Pengchun agreed, Liang would come forward and announce three unchanged policies: "(1) maintain the status quo, (2) not change the policy (Go abroad), (3) Respect the status of Zhang Zhongshu (that is, Zhang Pengchun).” Wu Mi believes that this not only maintains Zhang Pengchun’s status, but also avoids the trend in Tsinghua University, which can be regarded as doing something for the stability of the school.Compared with Cao Yunxiang, these scholars' thoughts and actions seem both decent and childish.

Zhang Pengchun was also a scholar, he didn't know the dangers of the world, and he hated the suggestions made by the young men.If he could assess the situation at this time and give up his idea of ​​being a principal, things might develop in his favor.Because the young faction knew that he had no intention of becoming a principal, they would turn around and fulfill their promise. With such a force supporting him, Cao Yunxiang couldn't do anything about it. However, Zhang Pengchun lost his chance. Not only that, but he directly targeted the young school, especially Wu Mi, who had a rift with him and always got entangled with him in everything.From the historical materials, materials and related works left by Tsinghua University, it is known that Wu Mi should be the person who has the least interest in joining this incident.Like Ye Qisun, he seemed to have been coerced by the young men.Wu Mi recorded in his diary more than once his perfunctory attitude towards this matter.When Zhuang Zexuan contacted him to refuse Zhang's succession, he wrote in his diary: "It is a good thing that Mi takes Zhang to succeed him. If he can let go of his hatred, treat the virtuous and corporal, and be open and honest, then he is lucky. If he can't, then the foreign successor should be like Fan Yuanlian. Mi didn't like to be involved in the world, so he didn't seem to be involved in this matter. He just waited for the natural changes. That is, if Zhang was the principal, if he couldn't tolerate it, he would have to find another branch to live in and do what he wanted..." However, With the development of the situation, Wu Mi was not only involved, but also became the central figure in the incident.

Wu Mi was the director of the Academy of Chinese Studies at Tsinghua Garden at the time, and Zhang Pengchun, who was in charge of educational affairs, was especially needed to support him in terms of funding, teaching, and talent selection when it was being prepared.For a person from Tsinghua University who has learned and taught here, Wu Mi is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of Tsinghua University. Therefore, deep down in his heart, he rejects the conservatives headed by Cao Yunxiang.There are deep-seated reasons why he formed a clique with Ye Qisun, Chen Yinke and other young and strong factions.He wrote in his diary on January 26, 1926:

The saddest thing about this school is that it is too much money to hire good teachers.People with knowledge and insight, such as Mr. Zhang Mengyu, Mr. Liu Yimou, Tang Yongtong, and Lou Guanglai, will not be hired.On the other hand, there are more and more rogue-like students studying in the United States and those who have no education.And all parties in the school are full of opinions and breed forces.For the high-ranking scholars, they will hinder them and not let them come forward; for the mediocre villains, they will not tire of their perfection, so that they can come here as my private party.As a result, the talents of Tsinghua University have become a situation of decline.

These words can be said to seal the throat with a sword, directly hitting the chronic disease of Tsinghua's old school.And it seems difficult for Zhang Pengchun and Cao Yunxiang to be on the same side. Although both Cao and Zhang claim to reform, after all, Cao is trapped in this mountain. If the revolution falls on him, he would rather protect himself.Zhang's attitude towards reform seems to be stronger, which is why later generations often associate Zhang Pengchun with the young men of Tsinghua University.However, due to Zhang Pengchun's character, or because of his many flaws, he did not form an alliance with the young and strong faction, but gradually developed enmity, and finally all betrayed relatives, and the wall was overthrown by everyone, and Cao Yunxiang's plan was completed. At 7:00 p.m. on January 27, 1925, Cao Yunxiang hosted a banquet for school committee members in the Gongzi Hall of the school.Zhuang Zexuan, Wu Mi, Meng Xiancheng, Zhang Pengchun and others all participated.During the dinner, Wu Mi drank some wine.After the banquet was over, Cao Yunxiang asked people to remove the wine glasses and tableware and replace them with Hangzhou Longjing tea, so that everyone could speak freely and express the difficulties and pressures of various departments, as well as any suggestions and opinions for the school.Cao Yunxiang was sincere and took notes.Zhang Pengchun's expression was gloomy, and his brows were frowned.At this time, the activity of rejecting Zhang was nearly halfway through, and Zhang Pengchun was in a panic due to the flames of war.Cao Yunxiang is now asking for opinions from all the committee members, and everyone knows what he means.But when it comes to public places and face-to-face encounters, those who turned out to be fierce in private are also "vaguely reserved and express nothing."Wu Mi got a little drunk, blushed, and lowered her head to listen to everyone's perfunctory words.For many matters of the institute, such as the introduction of talents, expenditures, student management, professor coordination, etc., he had approached Cao Yunxiang many times. Zhang Pengchun, and Zhang Pengchun even worse, often took the bottom line to make them disband, which made Wu Mi feel very sad.In private, he approached Ye Qisun and other friends many times, truthfully informed the plight of the research institute and the attitude of the school leaders, and asked them to help analyze so as to grasp the advance and retreat. There are many historical materials that prove that Wu Mi is actually a kind-hearted person, very emotional and very literati.Therefore, there should be a calm and rational friend by his side to give reminders frequently.In this regard, Ye Qisun became his best choice.We know from Wu Mi's diary that Wu Mi always consults with Ye Qisun for any important matters, whether public or private.The post of director of the Academy of Chinese Studies seems to be a very beautiful position for outsiders. Several professors are all national treasures. Under normal circumstances, Wu Mi's status will also highlight dignity and glory.However, Wu Mi is not a man in the officialdom. He is enthusiastic, authentic, straightforward and humble. Over time, he replaced the position of the leader and became the server and the dominated. Ordinarily, this kind of leadership awareness is advanced and advanced, but in that era, it would make people look sideways.Wu Mi became a person who got angry at both ends: inside the research institute, Zhao Yuanren lived in a leaky house, and he had to find someone to repair it while being complained; students fought and beat female guests, he had to deal with it according to the school's management regulations, and mother-in-law's The posture makes students very bored; many friends admire the reputation of Tsinghua National Academy, although they are indeed professional leaders, but he himself does not have the right to decide to introduce, which arouses criticism from friends; Needing financial support, reaching out to the school for money is like begging... These things are all related to Zhang Pengchun, but Zhang never gave Wu Mi a good look.A few days ago, at the school affairs meeting, the school asked various departments to discuss plans for next year.Wu Mi discussed a few things, but he discussed one point, refuted one point, discussed two points, and refuted one pair, which made Wu Mi feel ashamed.In particular, Wu Mi proposed that the tutors of the Institute are treasures of the country, and that these resources should be used rationally so that students in ordinary classes can also benefit. Zhang Pengchun strongly opposed it, saying that the tutors of the Institute only do advanced research, and nothing else is allowed.As for the introduction of talents, Zhang also said that it is limited to the current scale, and the expansion will be decided later.Wu Mi thought that Zhang Pengchun had ulterior motives, so when he was bored, he asked Ye Qisun to tell him.Ye Qisun said, you are a person with professional knowledge, if others take power, you just have to give in and be your professor!Wu Mi thought it was reasonable, so he drafted a letter of opinion, expressing his intention and expressing his dissatisfaction with the school.Showing it to Ye Qisun, Ye Qisun advocated that the radical remarks against the school should be removed, telling him that it is an extraordinary period, and it would be against the original intention to give others a reason for the mistakes in words.He is a solemn and self-contained person, "If the state has the way, he will be an official, and if the state has no way, he will be concerned about it." The current situation is a political game centering on power. He and Wu Mi have no idea about this. Not interested.However, among the rioters were former classmates, who were looking for support like weeds.At this moment, Wu Mi's matter became entangled again.As it concerns the future and vital interests of his friends, of course Ye Qisun must pay close attention to it, and his North Campus No. 7 is the home of young professors, a place where everyone often goes, and Zhang Pengchun naturally counts him and Wu Mi on the opposite side. .In view of this, Ye Qisun and Wu Mi did not want to confess or defend themselves.Even to his mentor Mei Yiqi, Ye Qisun didn't specifically say anything, and Mei Yiqi did the same. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, like two springs with different holes, emerging from nowhere, each bypassing the grassland and bamboo forest.Maybe they meet sometimes, maybe sometimes they walk side by side, but they are all clean and clear, and you can tell at a glance, everything is natural.For two people living in such a realm, we can imagine their deeds from the breeze and moon.Wu Mi is also a gentleman, but he doesn't have such a strong internal force, sometimes he can't control his mouth.He always ruins himself when he doesn't expect it, and places himself in a place where he cannot be rescued.For this reason, Ye Qisun also warned him before the meeting that he must be cautious in his words, not to speak with others, and to make a slip of the tongue, remember!Wu Mi remembered his friend's words and didn't say a word.Although he is angry.This anger is all-round, everything is calculated, everyone is expecting something.For example, Cao Yunxiang, who ate and drank wine, and knew that the wine was a bit high, but asked everyone to comment; for example, some people who treat Zhang Pengchun as an enemy are now evasive, and usually do not say a word of critical words. But laying joints on others, and hesitant to speak, as if it has nothing to do with him; for example, people who are similar to Zhang Pengchun now come out to explain to Zhang, without looking at others, and specifically analyze why they conflicted with Wu Mi before, It seems that the whole incident of rejecting Zhang was caused by Wu Mi; and Zhang Pengchun's speech was particularly annoying. He actually put Wu Mi and Zhuang Zexuan together, as if all the unfavorable situations for him were generated because of this.Zhang Pengchun said that the principal resigned, and he really has no intention of succeeding.Someone privately said that I excluded Zhuang Zexuan and Wu Mi in order to annex specialized departments and research institutes and combine them into one under my rule. I hereby declare to the two gentlemen that I have absolutely no such intention.I hope that from now on, everyone will work together and stop being suspicious, spreading rumors secretly, and destroying unity... Zhang Pengchun called himself a victim and others as people with ulterior motives.These words ignited Wu Mi's chest full of resentment like a spark.Wu Mi's heart began to burn: Mi's work is completely out of public interest. If you, Zhang Pengchun, were not driven by selfish desires, why would you block me?Even Mr. Liang Qichao, after reading my opinion letter, strongly agrees with the Institute to open courses for general science students. If he does not agree, he will resign and stop teaching. Is it because I am suspicious?You, Zhang Pengchun, are besieged on all sides today. Why did you come to this point? Isn't it because you are blind and small-minded?You are the one who is really suspicious and can't tell which is good and which is bad... Forget it, it's not rude to come and go, since that's the case, I can't bear it anymore, Wu Mi wrote in his diary on this day—— Mi Xiben planned not to speak, because he was slightly drunk and couldn't help himself.After Zhang Jun finished his speech, Mi Nai said: Mi has submitted his resignation to the principal a few days ago, and he will never succeed as the director of the research institute in the next school year.In fact, this position seems to be very simple, but the position is extremely difficult.The professor was not recommended by Mi, and all parties in the school, such as the Chinese teacher, had all kinds of speculation and hatred.For those who are particularly miserable, the system in the school has not been established, and the authority is not clear, and there is more and more interference from time to time (this refers to Zhang Zhongshu).From the initial drafting of the charter during the preparation last year to the recent rejection of the proposal, it has not been oppressed by other departments all the time.Qi Mi treats people with sincerity, but people treat me with power.For example, in recent events, although it is said that the veto of the resolution was made by the school affairs meeting, the people in the meeting, such as Lu Maode, blamed Mi for wanting to become a professor of the research institute but not being able to do so.For example, Zhao Yuanren did not understand Mi's sincerity and kindness in his treatment, so he became suspicious and turned against Mi.The other people who opposed Mi in the school affairs meeting were almost like Lu and Zhao, each with their own selfish motives and taking destruction as their ability (all of which refer to Zhang Zhongshu).Although the name of the school affairs meeting is set up, it is actually like this, so Mi's position is extremely difficult.Although I want to keep this support, I am willing to be a puppet, and there is a tendency to tolerate it. It is not beneficial to the school, and it is very painful for myself, so I will resign from this post next year. At this time, the lights have been turned off, and we continue to talk with candles.Mi Yan attacked Zhang Zhongshu very strongly, so Mi Fu closed his argument, and Zhang Jun immediately defended it.It can be said that Wu Jun's words were misunderstood. For example, the recent school affairs meeting rejected the proposal of the research institute, and I did not manipulate it.Liang Rengong invited me to talk, and Zhao Yuanren invited me to discuss together. I didn't lobby Liang, nor ordered Zhao Ye.Recently, there have been many rumors, such as Kong Duo, and there are so many people like this, my heart is very bitter.This has something to do with my moral reputation, and those who gossip about it should quickly point out the source of the definite evidence; otherwise, I will not give up.When I came to Tsinghua University, I advocated frugality and used education to get closer to the common people. My current ambitions are not good enough, and the situation is like this, so I have no regrets about leaving.But it is unacceptable to tarnish my name.When Zhang Jun said, he hit the ground with his feet, which was very passionate and generous.Mi was also moved in awe. It was a quarter past twelve, and the meeting was adjourned.After leaving, Mi Fu talked with Quan Shaowenjun for a while under the moon.Knowing that Zhang Zhongshu had invited Quan Jun to talk this afternoon, and asked Quan Jun about Mi's opinion and behavior. After going to bed, I can't sleep for a long time.At the beginning of Nian Mi, he had no intention of enmity with others, but this movement against Zhang actually used the incident at the research institute and Mi's resignation as a fuse, as one of Zhang's major crimes, which Mi did not expect, and there is no way to clear it up. Those also.In all fairness, Zhang Junzhong's statement is actually better than others, and Yun said that Tsinghua University is the only talent in handling affairs.But he also has no sincerity towards Mi. In the past, he was feudal and annexed, so he was unavoidably selfish.Mi didn't intend to overthrow the Zhang family, and he didn't want to see such a disturbance in the school.However, since I came here last year, driven by the situation and the job, Mi Zhi got involved in the party that is the enemy of Zhang, which is really unavoidable.Neutral without leaning, strong and correct.Mi mediocre, ashamed of failing.Until this time, it is even more impossible to stay out of the matter completely and not perfunctory with the enemies of the Zhang family.As the saying goes, the water in the mountain spring is clear, but the water in the mountain spring is turbid.If Gai was born in office and involved in politics, the situation is complicated and he cannot be completely independent.As a result, he had to bear the name of forming a party, and had to do something against his will.In the past year, I have worked in Tsinghua University, and the experience I have gained is almost the same. If there is a Wu Mi in the world, during the quarrel, seeing the other party's passion and generosity, he felt compassionate and "moved by it", but afterwards he was very annoyed, and objectively commented in the diary that the other party "has something better than everyone else. Yun said that Tsinghua is the only talent in handling affairs", and he can check his own mistakes.Gentleman, so is Wu Mi.But Wu Mi is not a saint, he just judges when he is humiliated, he is indeed the kind of temperamental person who is ready to catch fire, and in today's words, he is "very politically immature". The public confrontation between Wu Mi and Zhang Pengchun objectively helped Cao Yunxiang.Cao can finally talk to Zhang confidently.As the principal, he criticized him for being narrow-minded and difficult to get along with others.When he said these words, he was quite angry. He said that I originally wanted to hand over the principal's seat to you, but who knows that you are so intolerable!Others are fine, Wu Mi is recognized by the whole Tsinghua University as an upright and selfless person, why did you set up a situation to squeeze him?You can't even unite with Wu Mi, who can you tolerate... Zhang Pengchun even called him wronged, and argued to the principal, saying that everything he did was entirely for the future of Tsinghua, to carry out reforms, and it was not an agreement that I would sing the bad face ?Now I'm a villain, I've offended someone, and I won't be the principal anymore. Isn't that all right?Seeing that the principal was still looking at him coldly, he added another sentence: I will not be the dean of teaching affairs anymore, I will go down to become a professor, okay? Zhang Pengchun typed out his resignation report, but nothing went into the water. Zhang Pengchun asked the principal what he meant, Cao Yunxiang said coldly, you can tell the board of directors! It was at the luncheon the next day that Wu Mi really knew what the principal was up to. In Liubu Kouxiang Manyuan Tavern, after drinking, Cao Yunxiang proudly announced his decision to go to Zhang.This time Wu Mi didn't drink, so he was very sober.He saw the truth that is usually difficult to capture in the intertwined atmosphere.Wu Mi didn't feel happy.Instead, he recorded in his diary such reflections as "the rabbit died and the fox was sad". They went back to find Ye Qisun, and watched the movie over the past two days. During the replay, they found many details that they had overlooked. "We have been used by others", or "we have been played by others", such thoughts kept flashing in the replays.Who played who?Is it Zhuang Zexuan?Is it Wang Zulian?Is it Cao Linsheng?Is it Chen Da?It's still Zhang Pengchun... After thinking about it, it seems that they are all in the trap, and there seems to be only one winner, and that is Cao Yunxiang. At this point, the two began to wake up from a dream. Because it was an eventful autumn with more wind and rain, when 1926 came, most people in Tsinghua didn't realize it.Mr. Cao launched the campaign against Zhang last autumn, and after more than three months of fighting, he finally sent Zhang Pengchun back to his hometown in Tianjin. It is said that he became a professor at Nankai University.This is a multi-year battle.In the spring of the following year, people who just felt exhausted suddenly got another piece of news: the students are going to make trouble! When Zhang Pengchun left, he left Tsinghua people, especially those young students, with the back of a martyr.It is said that he once summoned some students to tell the inside story of the school's corruption, detailing the inside story of Tsinghua people's betrayal of him and the principal's harm to him.The image of a victim of Tsinghua's reform spread among the students in the form of legends. After the second creation by the students, everyone seemed to have seen the faint "light" on the head of Zhang Pengchun, who was walking away on the snow.So, who caused this tragedy?According to Zhang Pengchun's farewell words, the students made a list of villains: (1) three main culprits, Wang Zulian, Zhuang Zexuan, and Xu Ran; (2) five secondary culprits, Quan Shaowen, Cao Linsheng, Yu Zhenlian, and Chen Da , Cai Zheng; (3) The three accompanying murderers, Zhang Xinhai, Qian Duansheng, and Wu Mi. Wu Mi was listed as an accomplice, while Ye Qisun was spared. On the evening of February 5, 1926, students of Tsinghua University held a meeting to support Zhang, and announced the list of villains, highlighting Zhang's achievements.After the meeting, the students surrounded the principal's residence one after another and forced him to agree to the three conditions of the students: 1. welcome Zhang Pengchun back to Tsinghua University; 2. dismiss Wang Zulian, Zhuang Zexuan, and Xu Ran;Cao Yunxiang frightened and agreed to all of them.That night, after the students returned from the principal's office, they went to Zhang Pai's teacher's house to make trouble. They surrounded the houses of Wang, Zhuang, Xu and Cao Linsheng in turn, shouted slogans, called them names, and asked them to resign until the early morning. The next day, various media outlets in Beiping published the news about the student unrest in the Tsinghua campus. Some newspapers said that the resignation of Zhang Pengchun was the result of the reformists' "leaving the teacher before leaving the school, which made the heroes cry." This was a temporary mockery of Tsinghua The voice of bad comments suddenly rose.Since public opinion portrays Zhang Pengchun as the protagonist in a tragic story, there must be an opposite. Therefore, those who have been hated by Zhang will all appear in the media as ugly people with white noses. This was unexpected by Cao Yunxiang.The so-called wise man has a lot of worries, and he must make mistakes.He didn't expect that when Zhang left, he would also give him a trick to drag the knife. Although it was an invisible knife, it saw blood on the knife and was skillful.Cao was a little overwhelmed, so he had to throw away his pawns to save the car, made Wang Zulian and Xu Ran resign, and removed the director of the specialized department Zhuang Zexuan, etc. Fan, but the key point is naturally not to be understood by outsiders. Unexpectedly, just as the student turmoil subsided, another turmoil broke out again. Although Zhang Pengchun left, he left Tsinghua people with a heavy question to think about.Although Mrs. Zhang had many personal problems, with his departure, the weight of those problems was like a dehydrated object, suddenly light and floating, and the problems he had thought about seemed heavy because of the loss of fur, and all of a sudden Naked in the eyes of the public, so the renovation movement inside Tsinghua Park began. The students once rallied and marched, and raised many issues other than the Zhang issue, such as announcing funds and public accounts, reducing redundant staff, "better troops and simpler administration", opposing a small number of administrative oligarchs, welcoming professors to run the school, etc., making Tsinghua campus The atmosphere of democracy and freedom suddenly rose a lot, because all of this appeared in the form of a rebound after the removal of Zhang, and the domestic situation was in turmoil. Either the Fengtian army marched into Beiping, or the southern provinces frequently ignited wars. , No one has time to take care of this bottom-up reform movement in Tsinghua University. Cao Yunxiang, who used to be able to do everything from right to left, became bewildered and helpless because of lack of power support and political support. What he was most worried about finally happened. This time it was his confrontation with Mei Yiqi. Cao Yunxiang never took his eyes off Mei Yiqi when the activities to go to Zhang were in full swing.However, no matter how fierce the war on this side is, we have seen Zhang Pengchun go back and forth and clash with each other, killing loudly, sometimes even fighting alone, and Mei Yiqi has never been seen as an ally.He has been on hold.Although Cao Yunxiang has a lot of eyeliner, even if he monitors the whole process, it is difficult to find any clues.This situation is puzzling and most disturbing to the commander.But things really progressed in a way that Cao Yunxiang couldn't understand, and Cao fell into nothingness. Although he knew that the opponent really existed, he couldn't see what the opponent was doing. However, when Zhang Pengchun disappeared from the sight of Tsinghua people, Mei Yiqi uttered the words of a philosopher with the posture of a warrior.He pointed out that there was a reason for the refusal, but there were ulterior motives behind the refusal and removal of the Zhang.He even published an article in the "Tsinghua Weekly" in February 1926, saying: "There seems to be something wrong with the organization of the school. Even if anyone is in the position of Mr. Zhang, conflicts with others are inevitable. Zhang You can go personally, sir, but after you go, it will be a great loss for Tsinghua University." Mei Yiqi said "organizationally", which is tantamount to publicly calling Cao Yunxiang's name. Mei Yiqi finally showed his sword. However, at the sword point, when it was Cao Yunxiang's turn to take the move, he already knew he was invincible.
