Chapter 62 Sixty-one, Xu Shichang came out of the mountain to retro

Xu Shichang and Yuan are real old friends. They made friends in the commoner era. After they embarked on official careers, they quoted each other. At that time, Xu served as the governor of the three eastern provinces.When Cixi passed away and Yuan was ordered to return to his hometown to "raise illness", Xu was Yuan's soul in Beijing.After the Revolution of 1911, Xu Ben was instigated by Xu Ben to go between Zhangde and Beijing to use Yuan again.Therefore, the personal relationship between Yuan and Xu is indeed much deeper than that of other people.However, since the Revolution of 1911, Xu has regarded himself as a "retired old man" and "shame to eat Zhou Su". He avoids living in Qingdao and does not care about politics.On December 13, 2nd year of the Republic of China, when the "Feng'an" ceremony of Emperor Guangxu was held in Beijing, he had quietly visited Beijing. He claimed that the purpose of coming to Beijing was to attend the Feng'an ceremony, and congratulate his old friend on his inauguration as the President of the Republic of China.After Yuan took office as President, he awarded Xu "Xun Yi", but he refused to accept it and returned to Qingdao.

It is said that when Yuan intended to invite him to Beijing, Yuan "Prince" Keding's persuasion was the most powerful.Yuan Keding disliked Liang Shiyi very much. Some people suggested that Keding invite Xu out, which is a good way to beat Liang Shiyi.Yuan Keding went to Henan from Beijing, so he urged Xu to come to Zhangde, but Xu refused, but the two sides exchanged many letters. In February of the 3rd year of the Republic of China, Yuan Te asked Xu's protégé Wang Yitang to make a special trip to Qingdao to promote driving, and brought a very sincere personal letter. Xu was moved by the sincerity of his old friend, and on the one hand, he also felt the authority of this old friend. He became more and more prominent, so he ordered to leave and arrived in Beijing on March 29.

When Yuan ordered the abolition of the State Council on May 1, he also appointed Xu Shichang as Secretary of State, but Xu refused to accept it.Yuan sent Sun Baoqi and Duan Qirui to persuade him to drive, but Xu still looked like an old man, and he refused to persuade him no matter what.This made Duan Qirui a little annoyed, and said loudly: "Mr. Ju (Xu Ziju) always refuses to come out of the mountain. Doesn't he let down the president's painstaking efforts and tell us how to get back to life?" With a painful expression, he said: "Of course, I'm sorry for not helping my old friend. Well, I'll come out temporarily to make the transition. However, I absolutely cannot accept the official salary of the Republic of China."

After Sun and Duan returned their orders to Yuan, Yuan was very happy, and immediately vacated the building where he worked, and changed it into a political affairs hall.I moved to work in Chunouzhai in the same courtyard.Since the president and the secretary of state both work in the same courtyard, Yuan often came to chat with Xu. Yuan respected Xu very much, and he asked his subordinates to respect Xu as the old Xiangguo.Xu had just been in office for a month, because he claimed that he would not receive an official salary from the Republic of China, but an old friend knows the temper of an old friend best. Yuan ordered the Accounting Office to allocate 4,000 yuan to Xu under the president's communication expenses, because this sum The money was taken from an old friend's purse, and Xu readily accepted it.

Since the Political Affairs Hall is located in the Xiazhu Building behind the Hanhe Hall, it can be said that half of its location is in the Presidential Palace and half is in the old State Council.Only the printing and casting bureau is outside the courtyard.On the left of the Zhengshitang is the Confidential Bureau, on the right is the Rest House of Zuocheng Cheng, and the Zhengshitang Office is the site of the old State Council.The organizational rules of the Political Affairs Hall are as follows: (1) The Secretary of State has the right to participate in the military affairs, and the Secretary of State may attend military meetings; (4) The Secretary of State may convene a meeting of the heads of ministries in the Political Hall.According to the above points, the actual powers of the Secretary of State far exceed those of the previous Prime Minister.Except for the routine affairs that all ministries have to handle on their own, the main ones must be approved by the Secretary of State. Therefore, the heads of the various ministries are quite subordinate to the Secretary of State. At that time, there was a regulation that the five chiefs of foreign affairs, internal affairs, transportation, finance, and the army must meet with the Secretary of State every day. Yuan, led by the Secretary of State during the audience.

Xu told his friends that the Secretary of State was no less busy than the Minister of Military Aircraft who was in charge of various ministries in the Qing Dynasty.The old Prime Minister got up very early every day, and went to work after 8:00, went to the Presidential Palace at 9:00, visited Yuan with his second prime minister, Yang Shiqi, and Qian Nengxun at around 10:00 to discuss state affairs, and arrived at the political affairs at 11:00. Office in the hall, lunch at 12 o'clock, sometimes with Yuan, sometimes with Yang Shiqi and Qian Nengxun.Rest at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and work from four to five o'clock until 10 o'clock in the evening.

The six bureaus under the Zhengshitang are the Confidential Bureau, the Accounting Bureau, the Civil Service Bureau, the Legal Affairs Bureau, the Printing and Casting Bureau, and the Secretary Affairs Bureau.The busiest one is the Confidential Bureau. In addition to the director Zhang Yifu, the Confidential Bureau also has two deputies Feng Xueshu and Guo Zeyun.Zhang Yizhen was the most diligent, starting work at 6:00 every morning, while Yang and Qian Ercheng went to work at 7:00, reviewing the official affairs Zhang had sorted out, and then submitting them to Xu.The relationship between Zhang Yifu and Yuan is also very deep. Before that, although Liang Shiyi had all the power, Zhang was also a red card secretary. He did not belong to any faction. It is said that Xu Shichang was appointed as the Secretary of State. They are all narrated by Zhang from the middle.Wu Tingxie, director of the Bureau of Accounting and Accounting, has always had a deep relationship with Xu. He is familiar with political figures and textual research, and is good at literature.The Bureau of Accounting and Accounting is a condescending financial institution, and the financial meeting in the former presidential palace was merged with the Bureau of Accounting and Accounting.Wu is not a financial expert, and he is good at accounting, which makes people feel that his talents are not useful.Wu You learned from this by expressing "authoritative" opinions on financial research, such as the number of land tax books in China and the reasons for the reform of tax laws.The Chief Planning Bureau is located in Huairen Hall, which is the Hall of Yiluan in the Qing Dynasty.The Bureau of Civil Service, the Bureau of Printing and Casting, and the Bureau of Legal Affairs are all old people. The Bureau of Siwu is specialized in general affairs.

After Xu Shichang came out of the mountain, he had his own way. He believed that "politics should not be too much talk."Now after the great chaos, we only want to rest, so we dare not announce new policies. We only want to implement what is feasible, and do not do what is not feasible. If it is implemented and effective, it is good governance, and if it is the opposite, it is bad governance.He said: "If everyone ridiculed me for not showing anything, I would not dare to resign. Today everyone pulled me out, perhaps because of my characteristics." But what is Xu's characteristic?Specifically, "retro"!

"Retro" was not Xu's initiative, but actually Yuan's original intention.In any era of transformation from the old to the new, the shadows of the old are always appearing and disappearing. Yuan’s Beiyang style is basically an old thing. He is not an extraordinary person, and he cannot eliminate the old and establish the new.Since the founding of the Republic of China, general warriors, high officials, and uneducated literati, needless to say, were stubborn, most of them were fighting for beauty and favor in order to get promoted and get rich. 1. On March 3rd of the first year, Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, issued an order: "The republic is established, so the ban on the party should be disbanded and the business resumed. It has been recently heard that there are still party members in the southern province who are lurking in various parts of the province and return home without capital. Within five days, go to the nearest government office to report, give Sichuan funds as appropriate, and leave the country at a limited speed." This Zhao Erxun, who was turned from the governor of the Qing Dynasty to the governor of the Republic of China, did not know what political party he had in mind, and who created the Republic of China?

2. On March 10th of the first year, Feng Guozhang, commander of the imperial guards, ordered the residents of Nancheng to remove the national flag, fearing that the two palaces would be impressive.Feng Guozhang later became the president of the Republic of China, but in his heart, the national flag was not as important as the humble deposed emperor. 3. Zhao Weixi, governor of Gansu Province, refused to cut his hair and persecuted those who did it.In July of the first year, people living in Beijing in Gansu petitioned the Senate, requesting to be referred to the government, and to order Zhao Weixi to cut his hair and protect the people who cut it.Later, Zhao won the second-class Jiahe medal and the title of general of the army, and there was a Xie En fold, where the word "Kai" was replaced by the word "Kai".

4. In the first year of the first year, Fan Zengxiang telegraphed Yuan, opposing officials calling themselves "servants".It is also said that the Republic of China should have fifth-class titles. 5. On February 28th of the second year, Beijing's "Guofeng Bao" carried Feng Guozhang and Ni Sichong's advice to send in a secret telegram. There is a sentence in it: "...Sun Huang has lost power and has fallen into the trap of heroes; Li Duan is in love and can send it to the general Outside..." 6. Qiu Pingzhi, a businessman from Hubei (one said he was from Shandong), submitted a letter to the Presidential Palace, briefly saying: "The dignity of the president is not as good as that of a monarch, and the order of the chief is equal to that of a man. The National Congress was established in the near future, and the official election has little relationship. If you are not careful, the whole country will be corrupted. The happiness of the republic is not as good as the subjugated slaves. It is like temporarily changing the constitution of the empire and delaying the republic." Although Yuan ordered it to be done on March 19, the second year, Qiu actually surrendered himself to Beijing, as if to beg The hero of the reward. 7. In April of the second year, Zhang Zhongyi, a native of Hunan, handed in a list of persuading him to be the emperor, calling himself a minister, and all of them used parallel prose.Yuan Lingxiang took charge of it, but there was no follow-up. The above-mentioned rules are just picked at random. There are too many strange phenomena like this. The main reason is that Yuan didn't seriously prohibit them, and seemed to encourage them, so they would go out and start like wildfire. When Xu Shichang came to power, he openly advocated retro.The first thing Xu did after he took office was to order civilian officials across the country to issue the old official titles of the Qing Dynasty when submitting resumes.On the first Dragon Boat Festival when he was Secretary of State, he wore a red-topped flower feather, and as the "Great Qing" Taifu, he participated in the Xunqing feast and kowtowed to Puyi.Since Secretary of State Xu actually restored his status as Tai Tuo, it was rumored that Yuan would restore the Qing Empire through Xu, and the rumors of all the ministers would be full of people.Xu not only wanted the resumes of all civilian officials who were officials in the Xunqing period, but also went further to restore the old official names. On May 23, 3, the civil affairs chiefs of the provinces were changed to patrol envoys, and the observation envoys were changed to Dao Yin.What has gotten worse is that all the old habits in the former upright officialdom, including titles, ostentation, etc., have also returned.Yuan instructed the Ministry of the Army to issue an order to all provincial military agencies to prohibit calling each other "Sir" no matter in official documents or private letters; , Officials call each other by their official titles, and the people call each other "Sir" or "Jun", which just becomes a sharp contrast! Secretary Xu also resumed the habit of serving tea to see off guests. This was originally an official ceremony in the Qing Dynasty. When officials received staff or guests, the waiter offered tea, and the guests were not allowed to drink as usual. When the host served tea, it was a hint to the guests. Must leave.As for the locality, the successors of the governors of each province use arrows, and the itinerary is written, and those who seek to see each other hand over their manuscripts and resumes.A magistrate of Tongcheng County, Anhui Province, went to see Ni Sichong, the chief of civil affairs after he took office. Yuan often called all the subordinates to hold audience ceremonies. Except for those who were "exempted from audience" by the president, the officials from all provinces who came to Beijing and newly appointed officials had to hold audience ceremonies.There is a certain formula for the writing between the upper and lower levels and the parallel level. The governors of each province use "declaration" for the writing of the Political Affairs Hall, the General Staff Department, and the Army Department.However, the governor of Zhili is an exception. This is also the old rule that the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang in the Qing Dynasty regarded the military aircraft department and other agencies as parallel agencies. Under this wave of old-fashioned, those who are good at the top, there must be something good at the bottom. Therefore, everyone feels that the officials of the Republic of China are far less dignified than the officials of the Qing Dynasty, the chief is not as good as the minister, the governor and the chief of civil affairs are not as good as the governor and governor, and the county governor. Not as good as the county hall. In 3 years, Wang Shoumin, Yin Wang Shoumin of Qiongya Road, submitted a letter to Li Guojun, the patrol envoy of Guangdong, saying: "Qiongya's folk customs are strong, and it is not enough to intimidate them unless they are faced with official authority. No. 4 sedan chair and so on." Li also openly approved.In fact, in the Yuan government, local officials rode green woolen sedan chairs, blew gongs to clear the way, cheered and cheered, ordered the local people to build a stele of virtue and government when they left office, and presented umbrellas to all people.There are also some places that have implemented the Dingyou system in the low-level officialdom and the regulations of avoiding his native place. Amidst the revival, there are only two things that have not been done. One is that the braids have not been clearly restored; the other is that Yuan submitted Zhao Weixi, the governor of Gansu, to the political meeting for discussion on the restoration of the "posthumous posthumous law", which failed to pass. Although there is no explicit order to restore the braids, there are still many people with braids. The army led by Zhang Xun all wore braids; Zhao Weixi, the governor of Gansu, was also a high-ranking official who refused to cut the braids. Braids, swaggering in and out of officialdom.The posthumous posthumous law still exists, because "private posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles" are being advocated; moreover, Xuantong, the abolished emperor of the Qing Dynasty, still issued an edict of "granting posthumous posthumous posthumous titles and honoring loyalty" to the dead princes and ministers and the elders of the Xunqing Dynasty. On July 28, the 3rd year of the Republic of China, Yuan announced the rank order of civil servants, separating "officials" from "jobs". Qing, Shaoqing, Senior Doctor, Middle Doctor, Young Doctor, Sergeant, Sergeant, Corporal. In Yuan’s decree, Xu Shichang was the only Shangqing, followed by Zhao Erxun, Li Jingxi, and Liang Dunyan with the title of Zhongqing. All three of them had served as governors or ministers in Xunqing.Zhongqing are: Yang Shiqi, Qian Nengxun, Sun Baoqi, Zhu Qiqian, Zhou Ziqi, Zhang Jian, Liang Shiyi, Xiong Xiling, Zhou Shumo, Wang Daxie, etc.The titles of Shaoqing and Zhongqing include Zhang Zongxiang and Tang Hualong.Shaoqing includes Dong Kang, Zhuang Yunkuan, Liang Qichao, Yang Du, and Sun Yuyun. Zhao Bingjun, who was poisoned to death by Yuan, was posthumously awarded as Shangqing by Yuan; Song Jiaoren, who was assassinated by Yuan and Zhao, was also posthumously given as Zhongqing. There is also Gu Ao's statement of "restoring the fifth-class nobility", which will be compiled by the Legal Affairs Bureau, and will be submitted to the Senate for approval and promulgation after the Political Affairs Hall discusses it.In this way, Yuan has the power to seize the emperor's life and death by being the president, and has the ministers and officials as his assistants, and the fifth-class nobles as his patrons. He is really a great emperor without a name. In the emperor's era, the court post (that is, the official letter entrusted by the emperor to the governors of various provinces), Yuan changed its name to "The Great President's Envoy × Governor".The impeachment department of the inferior Yushitai is now renamed Suzhengshi, and the Pingzhengyuan is responsible for the trial. As for the Secretary of State, it is very similar to the inferior military minister.The heads of ministries have no right to intervene in the administration of each province, and the heads of civil affairs of each province write directly to the president without being forwarded by the relevant ministries. All these official title systems are the revival of the dynasty, only one emperor is missing.Even the use of the national seal is modeled after the emperor's imperial seal. Yuan's national seal regulations are divided into three categories: one is the national seal of the Republic of China, which is used for state ceremonies and exchanges of credentials with foreign countries; It is used for canonization and awarding of titles; the third is the seal of honor, which is used for awarding honors. The change of military positions is to change the titles of the governors of each province to generals, the titles of generals, generals, and left and right generals.And the country was divided into eight major military regions, and an order was issued on June 30, 3 years: "The governors of all provinces will be abolished, and the general's mansion will be established in the capital, and the names of the generals will be set up. Those who supervise the military administration of the provinces will open the mansions for the provinces where they are stationed. The teeth, when they come out, they will be sent to the space, and when they enter, they will be sent to the general division. At the same time ordered: Duan Qirui was appointed as the general of Jianwei to manage the affairs of the general's mansion.Zhang Xun was the patrol envoy of General Dingwu on the Yangtze River.Zhu Jiabao, the inspector of Zhili, was promoted to the rank of general and supervised the military affairs of Zhili.Zhang Xiluan was the general of Zhen'an, who supervised the military affairs of Fengtian and controlled the military affairs of Jihei.Meng Enyuan was the governor of Jilin, the left general of Zhen'an.Zhu Qinglan was the governor of Heilongjiang, the right general of Zhen'an.Le Yunpeng is the Taiwu general in charge of Shandong.Tian Wenlie, the patrol envoy of Henan Province, added the rank of general to supervise Henan.Yan Xishan was the general governor of Shanxi with the same army.Feng Guozhang was the general of Xuanwu and supervised Jiangsu.Zhu Rui was General Xingwu who supervised Zhejiang.Li Chun was the governor of Jiangxi for General Changwu.Ni Sichong was the general of Anwu and the governor of Anhui.Duan Zhigui was General Zhangwu and governor of Hubei.Tang Xiangming was General Jingwu who supervised Hunan.Lu Jianzhang was the Xianwu general in charge of Shaanxi.Gansu patrol envoy Zhang Guangjian was added to the rank of general to supervise Gansu.Xinjiang patrol envoy Yang Zengxin added the rank of general to supervise Xinjiang.Hu Jingyi was the general governor of Sichuan.Long Jiguang was General Zhenwu and supervised Guangdong.Lu Rongting was the general of Ningwu and the governor of Guangxi.Jiang Gui titled Rehe, General Governor of Zhaowu.Cai E is General Zhaowei.Jiang Zungui was General Xuanwei.Zhang Fenghui is a general above Yangwei (these three have no territory). Those who have territory and military power are crowned with "Wu", while those without are crowned with the word "Wei". The two can be exchanged at any time. Civil servants confer ministers, military officers confer generals, what about the president?At that time, it was led by the vice president, the generals were listed, and the president was congratulated as the emblem of "Marshal Shenwu". The word "shenwu" means sacred and heroic.But Yuan was not interested in it at this time, so the emblem of Marshal Shenwu was stillborn. Where is Yuan's interest?It turned out that he was busy "sacrificing to heaven" at the Temple of Heaven.As early as January 14, 3, he had submitted the two cases of "sacrificing to heaven" and "sacrificing to Confucius". Yuan planned to wear ancient clothes on the first day of the lunar calendar, kneel down and worship, and go to Yuanqiu to hold a ceremony of worshiping heaven.Sun Yujun, a member of the Political Council, suggested that the Temple of Heaven should be used as the place of worship, the winter solstice as the festival period, the crown clothes should be used as the sacrificial clothes, and kneeling should be used as the sacrificial ceremony. Therefore, the date and order for worshiping the sky were postponed until December 20 of this year. This is a dramatic program. Three days before the sacrifice ceremony, the Ministry of the Interior presents the "fasting card" to the president and distributes it to the attendants, who will perform the ceremony on the first day.On the 23rd, from Xinhuamen to the Temple of Heaven, the ground was paved with loess along the way. At all the prescribed cordon lines, the police went door-to-door to notify that households were not allowed to stay with relatives and friends.Vendors on both sides of Zhengyangmen and Tianqiao were driven away by the police.There are thousands of soldiers with live ammunition standing around the Temple of Heaven, watch posts are also set up on some roofs, and watch posts are also set up under the overpass.When the President passed by, the people along the way were not allowed to stop and peek.The bell rang three times, and the President left the presidential palace in an armored car, and changed to Liyu outside the Nantan Gate—a Zhujin sedan with two horses, with tassels hanging from the four corners—and changed to a bamboo chair sedan outside Zhaoheng Gate. In front of the altar.The President, supported by Chief Military Attaché Yin Chang and Chief of Attendant Lu Jin, slowly walked up the stone steps.The President wore a Juebian on his head, a 12-piece tuxedo, and a purple satin skirt printed with thousands of water patterns.Uniforms of the attendants: the gowns of the Ninth Regiment of specially-appointed officials, the gowns of the Seventh Regiment of simple-appointed officials, and the gowns of the Fifth Regiment of recommended officials, with purple satin skirts of the same color underneath. The version of Sitian Zhu used by the President changed the word "Zichen" used by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to "represent Yuan Shikai, a national of the Republic of China".The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky starts at 3:00 am and ends at 8:50 am. This was the scene of "toad offering sacrifices to heaven" which was widely rumored in Beijing at that time.Because it is said that Yuan is a toad in the "Ten Rites of Xishan". It's a strange thing, so when he worshiped the sky, he contended for the toad to sacrifice to the sky. As mentioned above, according to the New Testament law, the legislature adopts a unicameral system and is named the Legislative Yuan. Before the establishment of the Yuan, the Senate was established on June 20 to perform the functions and powers of the Legislative Yuan. Li Yuanhong was appointed as the president and Wang Daxie as the vice president , 73 political senators are directly appointed by the president.Most of the politicians announced by Yuan were high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty, all of whom were over 60 years old.Relatively new figures are Liang Shiyi, Liang Qichao, Sun Yuyun, Yan Fu, Yang Du, Liu Shipei, etc.The day the Senate was formed, the political session was called off.The Senate itself remains an advisory body, like the Political Conference. Before the establishment of the Senate, Yuan sent a number of persuasive officers to Dalian and Qingdao to promote the retirement of the elderly with his own letters. The letter said: "The announcement of the Republic is the change of the political system, not the cleansing of the house. It is dead; I hope you don't take it to heart, and go out together to save China from danger." Among the list of participating in politics is Qu Hongji, who served as a military commander in the 29th year of Guangxu. He was a well-known fool and once mistook Liang Shiyi for Liang Qichao's brother.At that time, he was over 60 years old, and some people felt that it was unnecessary to invite him to participate in politics, and no effort was needed to pull him out of the political garbage.Unexpectedly, Yuan said, "What? Do you think he won't do it? He asked his wife to come to Beijing to ask for this job." There is also a constitution drafting committee in the Senate. The drafting committee members are: Liang Qichao, Yang Du, Yan Fu, Ma Liang, Li Jiaju, Wang Rongbao, Dashou, Shi Yu, Wang Shicheng, and Zeng Yijin.The most wonderful thing is that Yang Du and Liang Liang have the opportunity to meet at any time. He and Liang Shiyi were in the economic special examination in the 29th year of Guangxu. Liang took the first place and Yang took the second place. He and Liang Qichao acted as gunmen for the five ministers when they went abroad to inspect the constitutional government in the 31st year of Guangxu and drafted the draft constitution for them; after the Republic of China, these three worked together under the Yuan government. Young talents in the past have now become middle-aged people with gray temples, especially Yang and Liang. ", and the so-called "Constitution of the Republic of China" is the prelude to the Yuan family constitution. Li Yuanhong picked up the gavel of the President of the Senate, and only then did he realize that the so-called Senate was a royal institution for making emperors. He began to feel confused about his situation, but he was caught in a trap and could not do anything. It is also bitter.He repeatedly asked to travel abroad, or asked to go back to his hometown of Huangpi to take care of the housework, trying to escape Yuan's palm, but Yuan certainly would not let him go.Although he saw that Li might not dare to stand up against him, Li was a good idol. If he was used by the Kuomintang or other ambitious elements, he still had something to call for.It is said that it is easier to tie a tiger than it is to restrain a tiger. Although Li is not a tiger, he has the charisma of a tiger, so he comforted him with warm and kind words.Li naturally knew that he could not leave without saying goodbye, and there was no way to break through the wall to fly away, so he had no choice but to resume the silent attitude he had at the beginning of the 1911 Revolution. Except for "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" , neither expressing opinions nor speaking. The issue of Yuan’s term of office was mixed up and down. The most wonderful thing is that there is such a story. At the beginning of the third year of the Republic of China, Lu, the governor of Chengkou County, Sichuan, made a statement, please set the term of office of the President as a life-long tenure.After Yuan read this statement, he was furious, and was about to issue an order to take down the county magistrate to show that he had no intention of becoming the president for life. A strategist next to him whispered to him: "In this way, isn't it necessary to make people who really support the president Are people discouraged?" After hearing this, Yuan suddenly realized, and immediately submitted this article to the government bulletin on March 8 for publication, and ordered the civil and military chiefs of all provinces to express their opinions on this article, so he submitted the paper first. Ni Sichong, who was nicknamed the pioneer of the Yuan family, expressed his great praise. In July, the president’s political adviser Gudnow put forward a comment, arguing that it is necessary to revise the presidential election law, because this election law uses the Senate and the House of Representatives as the president’s electoral organs, and the new constitution adopts a unicameral system, the Senate and the House of Representatives The two houses no longer exist. This election law stipulates that when the president and vice president cannot exercise their powers for some reason, the prime minister shall act as the president. However, the New Testament law has modified the official system. The State Council and the prime minister no longer exist. Yuan submitted Dr. Gu's post to the Senate for reference, which is tantamount to instructing the Senate to revise the Presidential Election Law. On August 18, the Senate passed the proposal proposed by Liang Shiyi, who participated in politics, to amend the Presidential Election Law promulgated on October 5, 2002. On December 28, the Law Conference passed the amendment to the Presidential Election Law.Since the establishment of the Senate, the political conference has ended, but the constitutional conference as a law-making organ still exists. Under this new electoral law, the presidential term is changed to 10 years, with unlimited re-election.During the period of presidential re-election, if the Senate deems it "politically necessary", it may decide on the re-election of the president without holding an election.The president's successor is recommended by the current president. Three people are pre-written on the golden slips of Jiahe, sealed with the national seal, hidden in the golden chamber and stone house, and equipped with three keys. The president, the president of the Senate, and the secretary of state each hold one. must be taken out and handed over to the Election Council before the election.Presidential eligibility is limited to those who have reached the age of 40 and have lived in the country for 20 years.The incumbent president must continue to be elected.The presidential election will be organized by 50 members each elected by the Senate and the Civil Court.The vice president is also recommended by the current president and has the same qualifications as the president. According to this election law, not only can Yuan become the president for life, but it can also create a hereditary president of the Yuan family.At this time, Yuan was over fifty years old, and the term of office of the president was stipulated to be ten years. After the term of office expires, if he is still alive, he can be re-elected through elections or votes in the Senate.If he can't survive, or if he is old and "tired and diligent", he has reserved heirs. It is said that he pre-filled the names of Yuan Keding, Yuan Kewen, and Yuan Kequan on the Golden Slips of Golden Harvest, and they are all his next generation. . This election method is the only election method created in ancient and modern China and abroad. It is modeled on Emperor Kangxi of the Xun Qing Dynasty. The name of the successor is pre-written, sealed in the box, and hidden behind the plaque in the Zhengda Guangming Hall.
