Chapter 192 In 1911, Li Yuanhong was Feng's wife again

When Xu Shichang announced his resignation and left Beijing, on June 2, 2011, the State Council of Beijing also issued a court order saying: "President Xu announced his resignation today, and the State Council will perform his duties in accordance with the law. All official affairs of the government offices will continue as usual. In the capital area, the relationship between public security and security is important. Be careful with this order." At the same time, all state officials jointly issued a telegram, led by Zhou Ziqi: "Since Qi and others have encountered changes in the world, Cao, the leader of the power, would like to return this power to the National Assembly, respect the rule of law, temporarily maintain everything as a citizen, and wait for acceptance."

Since the president has been created illegally, the position of the cabinet is also illegal. Therefore, it is not possible to use the cabinet to exercise the powers of the president, but to exercise the powers as a "national". On June 2, Xiao Yaonan, the governor of Hubei, issued a telegram saying: "... Once the National Assembly, which was disbanded in six years, is restored, the status of the East China Sea will lose its legal basis. I will be honored and honored for the benefit of the people. The Zhongshan Law Protector once declared that he will retire once the National Assembly is restored. There will be no more disputes. Continue to rule, let alone Huangpi (Li Yuanhong)."

Wu Peifu's electrification cloud: "...It is also my original intention to retire with the honor of my President Xu who has been honored for more than ten months to repay the unification of the twenty-two provinces. Our President Li has undergone extraordinary changes, and the rule of death has been extended. The general will is to advance and retreat, the law is a matter of course..." Qi Xieyuan and other 15 provincial governors jointly sent a telegram: "...The dispute between the North and the South actually focused on legal issues. The legal system is established, and all kudzu vines will be resolved from then on."

The waves of welcome Li Yuanhong said that Li Yuanhong, who was hiding in Tianjin, must come out of the mountain.In fact, this is also a tactic. The so-called restoration of the legal system is nothing more than a plan to kill two birds with one stone. They overthrew Xu Shichang with their left hand and Sun Yat-sen’s law-protecting government with their right hand. To achieve "national unity".That is, on June 2, Wu Jinglian and Wang Jiaxiang went to Li's house in Tianjin to visit Li and urged Li to be reinstated as president. Li said: "You elected Cao Kun as president, and things will be much easier." On the same day, Cao, Wu led the telegram to "welcome" the reinstatement of President Le Da.Xiong Bingqi, Cao's chief of staff, Li Zhuozhang, Wu's chief of staff, and Gao Enhong, a representative of the State Council in Beijing, all came to Tianjin to welcome Li.

On June 3, Wu Jinglian and Wang Jiaxiang telegraphed the military and civilian chiefs of the provinces: "It will take time for the National Assembly to formally meet. It should be discussed and implemented after public opinion." Wu Peifu immediately replied: "Before the head of state arrives in Beijing, of course, the State Council will take over the functions and powers, and the duties are related, and the meaning of the text must not be restricted." Amidst the voices of urging, Li Yuanhong secretly rejoiced in his own selfishness. Just as he was about to leave for Beijing and regain power, on June 3 he suddenly received a telegram of opposition from Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang. Lu Dian said:

"I received President Xu's winter telegram and learned that the head of state left his post to go to Tianjin. I felt no panic at all. The president is a public servant at home and a representative of the government at home. He must not advance or retreat based on the love and hatred of a few, nor can he shirk responsibility based on personal convenience. Although the "Contract "Shanghai's agency has its own regulations, and according to the current political situation, there is no agreement. Even if we look back at the past of public opinion, there is no precedent to help. Xiangcheng died, Huangpi resigned, and Hejian's acting term expired. He was dissolved in the National Assembly. After the restoration and chaos, the old and the new have changed, and the dagger is not surprised. Today, the north and the south are divided, and the suburbs are many, and the center is especially broken. There is no deputy seat, and there is no legal State Council. The provisions of Article 5 of the Presidential Election Law are not applicable. Just using the order of the "Contract Act" to put it into the current cabinet, and the cabinet will return it to the Congress at will. Not only is it useless to the people, how can this kind of child's play , Why is it more important than friendly countries? This has to be done by our people who think carefully.

It is rumored that someone suggested to restore the legal order and ask Huang Pi to return to office.The people of the country are forgetful, and there are people who agree with you bluntly. Yongxiang and others have been thinking repeatedly, but they can't understand it.Since we advocate the rule of law, we should hold systematic legal opinions, and we must not make choices according to our emotions. The discussion of two or three warriors is not enough to change the law, and the telegrams of two or three members of parliament are not enough to represent the Congress. There is no room for litigation in explaining and citing. The "Contract Law" only has the second language of "resignation for reasons and inability to take matters into account", and there is no resignation clause. Of course, Huang Pi's resignation will not cause legal problems.If Hejian is the legal president elected by the old Congress, he should act as the deputy according to law, and there should be no doubt about it until the expiration of his current term.The Presidential Election Law stipulates that the term of office is five years, and when Hejian’s agency term expires, Huangpi’s legal term of office ends.If it is forced to do so, the first step is to recognize Hejian's agency as illegal.May I ask whether the behavior during this agency period is valid?I think the people of the country will never bear to reverse the case for this, and add to the national disputes.In this way, the theory of Huangpi restoration is illegal.With the virtue of Huangpi, if you are elected in accordance with the law in the future, I will pray for you.It would be unbearable if the corrective method was used to shackle it at this time and appeal to the conscience.This is another one that we have to look to our people for careful consideration.

The wisdom of the people has made great progress, and today is not what it used to be. A little bit of selfishness has already been seen. Those who forge public opinion have already been found in the same mistakes. Those who enforce the law freely have also tried repeatedly.Sun Shuai Chuanfang deleted the telegram and said: It is a choice between one person's love and evil, and one person's love and evil are not followed.Gu Quxing has no direct shadow in the end, and the harvest depends on hard work. If you know the traps and fall into them, you will be unkind in defending the country, and unwise in self-defense.Yongxiang and the others were terrified, their accumulated worries became sick, and they were in the pain of breaking down the building and collapsed, and dared to push the scales and hold back their hands.Reining in the cliff, there is still a smooth road, if you fall into the abyss, you will chase after you.I pray for the sages and sages in the world, to be fair to the law, to express their opinions, to be compassionate, to make a great plan to save the nation, and it is better to let the majority bear one person, than to make one person bear the majority!Yongxiang and others should do their duty of national self-defense as far as their eyesight can see, and they will never bear to sit back and watch a country shared by 400 million people, and be a lonely bet for a few people. "

When Li saw the telegram, he couldn't help gasping for air. He was very disappointed, and he replied to the border officials in all provinces on the same day to send telegrams.The telegram said: "Received the winter telegram and joined Governor Cao, Zhao Zhenshou, and the representative of Wu Governor's Office who came to live in the residence. He wanted to restore the relatives, and he had the heart of striving for unity. What admiration! Di Yuanhong resigned from the blame, and he was in charge for several years. Don't let it go, dare to have other thoughts, and quickly slander the officials. If you let the Motou put its heels, it can benefit the world. In the coming days, there will be great difficulties, and the promotion of a great position will be like entering an ice valley."

Lu Yongxiang's Jiangdian represents the attitude of the Anhui faction, so Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, and He Fenglin, the envoy of the Shanghai army, all echoed Lu's proposition.The Anhui faction believed that welcoming Li's reinstatement was Wu Peifu's personal plan to coerce the emperor to order the princes, which was extremely detrimental to the Anhui faction, so they strongly opposed it.The Federation of Provincial Councils of the Three Northeastern Provinces is in favor of restoring the rule of law, but it also advocates holding the meeting in Shanghai to avoid interference by armed forces.As for the Guangzhou Extraordinary Congress, Li Yuanhong was accused of being a sinner for the dissolution of the Congress in the sixth year of the Republic of China. His term of office has expired and he cannot be restored.As for Wang Jiaxiang, who has not attended the meeting for a long time, he has already been dismissed and has been replaced by someone else, so how can he appear as the speaker again.

In the so-called old Congress, there is still a dispute between the "six-year Congress" and the "eight-year Congress".What Wu Jinglian, Wang Jiaxiang and others convened in Tianjin was the Congress that was dissolved by the Beijing government in the 6th year of the Republic of China, referred to as the "Six-year Congress".The members of Congress called by Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou were unwilling to attend because many members were changed to officials at that time. Because of the insufficient number of members in the Congress, all members who did not attend the meeting were removed in the 8th year of the Republic of China, and candidates from various provinces were elected. In addition, this Congress is referred to as the "eight-year Congress". The Guangzhou side believes that convening a "six-year congress" is an illegal act.In fact, the actual situation in the Congress at that time was that the term of office of members of the House of Representatives was only three years. They were all elected in the 2nd year of the Republic of China, and it had been 9 years since the 11th year of the Republic of China. .As for the five-year term of the president, Yuan Shikai took office on October 10, 2001, and his term should end on October 10, 2001.Yuan died in June 5, and the vice president Li Yuanhong acted as president.The vice presidents of Li and Feng were both elected by the old Congress. According to the explanations of the legal experts at the time, they were legal acting presidents. The explanation from the law is also unreasonable. Li Yuanhong in Tianjin was surrounded by all directions, and there were representatives of the great warlords, politicians, and parliamentarians running around Li's house.There are two factions around Li Yuanhong: one is the radical faction, including Ha Hanzhang, Rao Hanxiang, Jin Yongyan, etc. They were carrying out the process of carrying Li out of the mountains. Return to Beijing.One is the Slow Progress faction, headed by Chen Huan. He believes that both Sun Yat-sen and the Wanfeng warlords have ulterior motives. Under such circumstances, they are just puppets of the direct line. Announcing a major policy is also to test the Zhili's attitude; if the Zhili opposes it, Li himself can gain sympathy from all aspects of the country and create more favorable opportunities for the future. On June 3, Li met with representatives of Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, as well as representatives of the State Council. Li hinted that Wu Peifu would be asked to serve as the chief of the army and vigorously reduce the number of troops.Zhang Shaozeng, the relative of Wu Peifu's sons and daughters, was also the main figure in running to restore the legal system. He heard that Li wanted to abolish the governor and lay off the army, and said very angrily: "You want to come to power by yourself and look for ways around. Now you have the opportunity, but you put forward conditions. What a shame." I don't know why!" Chen Huan pulled Li aside and said quietly: "Isn't it true that their awe and prestige is just like this before we come to power!" On June 6, Tianjin Lizhai held a talk meeting. The participants included the speakers of the two chambers of the old National Assembly, representatives of important military personnel such as Cao Wu, and representatives of various provincial organizations.Li Yuanhong entertained them cordially, and after exchanging greetings, he took out a telegram for everyone to read.He also added: "What is written in this telegram, if I can do it, I will resume my job. If it can't be done, please choose another Gaoming." Back into the inner room. This is Li Yuanhong's famous Yudian, written by Rao Hanxiang, with three thousand words, advocating the abolition of supervisors and disarmament: "Previously read the declarations of Chairman Wang of the Senate and Wu of the House of Representatives in the first session of the National Assembly. The legitimate president will organize the government according to the law and accept the winter power of ten provinces and districts including Cao and Wu. Please reset according to law and maintain the country. Thank you for replying to the telegram. I will reply to Dongdian of 15 provinces and districts including the governor of Qi (Xieyuan), and the commanders-in-chief of Jiangdian such as Admiral Sa (Zhenbing) of the Navy. Xuan Jing was reinstated. At the urging of the two Speakers of Parliament and the representatives of various organizations in various provinces and regions, he was bound to restore the rule of law. He was obliged to do so. When the will of the people came, the words of love were pressed. People are not wood and rocks, so how can we be indifferent? Thinking of Yuan Hong's views on the Congress, The guilt is already deep. At that time, fearing that the capital would be bloody, he turned to the pleas of the public and re-elected the National Assembly to save the local area, so he relieved the temporary difficulty; the president resigned to thank the National Assembly, so he strictly guarded against it forever. Fang Yin has a heart of thinking about his mistakes, dare to commit the crime of breaking his promise? Even if the members of the National Assembly return to me, I am not ashamed of my heart? The reason why the princes push Yuanhong is that it can be unified.After ten years of return, wars and misfortunes continued, Qi Fu was piled up, and blood flowed into rivers.The tragic scene of amputated hands and feet, the crying of orphans and widows, the hanging is not over, and the death and injury are coming again.It must be said that the restoration of the legal system can immediately eliminate the atmosphere of the military, and the disputes between Du and Du will be forever. Although the three-foot boy dare not believe it, it is also the way for the doctor to start, and the crux must be concerned?What is the crux?The warlord system is just calling for chaos!With the rise of the civilian army, the first governor was installed, and because of this in the north, it became a custom.The name has been changed repeatedly, the power has not been transferred, thousands of people have criticized it, and it has been criticized for a long time, and it has caused great harm. There are five reasons: Training quota, based on national defense.After the end of the European War, all armaments have been reduced, and militarism is also seen, which is self-promoting.Our country alone is poor and ranks first in the world, and the number of soldiers is shocking.The advice of the friendly countries is ignored, and the appeal of the people is sympathetic.The strong hold the ground to benefit, and the weak rely on it to bear.Although in recent years, some soldiers have been asked to be cut off, or their weapons have been disarmed.If you send them out, the soldiers will disperse and become bandits, and if you recruit them, the bandits will gather into soldiers. It is bound to be that there will be no one without soldiers, and no one without soldiers without bandits. Who will actually do it?As for this pole.One too. The principle of degree of support, the right to go in and out, self-supporting soldiers as heroes, collecting daily affairs, starting to move and save taxes, and finally cutting off state taxes.The external debt of the central government is the natural source, and the pledges are absolutely absolute.Officials choose Hengzheng as the best choice, but Luo Du is poor.Bianmao set the rules, ravaged the budget, pre-collected for several years, and repaid it was difficult for the Chong Dynasty.If you use words to reduce expenditure, the school office will be empty; if you use words to increase revenue, the shops will be desolate.The misfortune of selling women and children has lasted for several generations.Two also. Since the military position is respected, disputes arise, and it is often heard that it is delegated to its superiors.Marriage ends fiercely, mentors and friends are bound up in righteousness, the clouds and rain are turned upside down, and human nature is lost!Or...dominate a province, restore Hebei and Qi,...take control of fortresses, and invade neighboring seals.Suspicion arises and murderous intentions intensify. In the beginning, the strong compete with the weak, then the strong compete with the strong, and finally the weak fight with the strong.He Gu, the servant, is for his torment.Three also. The republican spirit puts first priority on the rule of the people. ...Since the warlord was established, he abused his authority, interfered in politics, included taxes, and changed officials.Those who are beneficial to selfishness must stay in bad government; those that are harmful to selfishness must be hindered by good governance.The governor of the province has his wife, and the councilors all have their marriage.It is difficult to rule by the government, let alone rule by the people?People who worry about the times create a provincial constitution and hope to control the storm. ...Guessing according to the reality, he thought that it was hard to get back. ...Yi Tang and medicine are not eliminated at all. Although there is a provincial constitution, how will it be used?Fake the name of the province's self-government, the reality of plagiarism and subdivision of the feudal vassal town, fish and meat our people, and bully them, the number of remnants, suppress Hu too forbearing.Four also. There must be political parties in the establishment of a constitution, and political parties must have political disputes. If the track is followed, the political disputes will be more intense, and the truth will be clearer, and there will be no harm.Gu Daquan's collection, since he is overseeing the army, and political parties are fighting for power, he thinks about relying on it.In the two-year campaign, the political party supported the military governor, and in the six-year campaign, the political party relied on the military governor as the center.Since then, the south and the south are fighting, and the north and the north are fighting, within a province, the scores are divided!Under one person, the score is tied!Politicians rely on their strength to be proud of themselves, and soldiers use celebrities as the most important thing.Vertical and horizontal, each wears a statue. ... When the trees fall and the cats disperse, the cities collapse and the foxes move, the soldiers are favored by others, and the politicians are suitable for others.The victim is someone else.Killing Ai Wuyi, and finally committing suicide, the deduction of the angry tide can be chilling.Five also. The rest of the scourges are too numerous to enumerate. ... Today, the country is in danger, and it is imminent. Unless the governor is abolished immediately, there is no way to survive.If you still wait and see and linger, the people will stand up and save themselves because they are at the stake of life and death. They will not bear to say that they are afraid that the warlord will suffer disaster.There is nothing more important than seeking solutions for the overall situation and personal safety. ... Lords of the warlords, if you strive for unification, please listen to the rumors, release the military handles, from patrolling to guarding the army, all of them will be dismissed for a short period of time, and wait for Yuan Hong to be under the gate of the capital to jointly plan the affairs of the country. ... If the Congress and local organizations must urge Yuan Hong, please first plead for the people with sincerity, advise all governors, and shill to implement it.If all the provinces can be unanimous, it will end quickly, and the people of the country will be informed that Yuan Hong will not avoid dangers, regardless of the period, after he has supervised the army, he will enter the capital generously.Slaves, cattle and horses will never be restored. Although Yuan Hong wants to be a commoner, he can't get it. What does the president say? ... If everyone wants to keep an official who is an obstacle to the country, but is guilty of sitting idly by and blaming the president who retired five years ago, wouldn't it be confusing?All fathers-in-law who are loyal to the country should learn from this heart. If real power is difficult to give up and false names are entertainment, then the interpretation of the law is right and wrong, and each of them will do what he wants. " After the telegram was published, Hu Shi wrote an article in Beijing's Hard Work Weekly, criticizing: "Why don't you tell the truth if you have something to say, why do you need to make big detours, why do you need to write sloppy articles, why do you need to spoil many telegraphers and readers, Rao Hanxiang can rest. " After Li Yuanhong’s Yudian was published, Wu Peifu agreed with it in a telegram on the 7th. The telegram said: “I swear to support the plan with sincerity, and I am willing to be ordered to be the pioneer and the leader of all provinces...” Wu Peifu originally decided to go to Tianjin to welcome Li out of the mountain. Stopped when receiving fish electricity. Abolishing the governor and cutting the army was the most urgent desire of the people at that time. Li Yuanhong grasped this topic. To be honest, who would dare to object, so Cao Kun and Wu Peifu also jointly responded by telegram. The telegram said: "Abolish the governor and cut the army. It is the first to advocate." After receiving the telegram from Cao and Wu, Li sent another telegram saying: "The plan to save the country should not be empty words. If the public and others do not make a concrete statement, and if they don't release all their military handles immediately, then Yuan Hong can't take the liberty to come. Beijing." So the direct soldiers unanimously voiced their approval, and Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, was willing to be the first to be dismissed: "While closing all the affairs of the military administration, at the same time maintaining the morale of the army in his own name." Then Liu Zhenhua, the governor of Shaanxi, Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi, and Xiao Yaonan, the governor of Hubei , Sichuan Governor Liu Xiang, Shandong Governor Tian Zhongyu, Anhui Governor Zhang Wensheng, Jiangsu Governor Qi Xieyuan, Navy Lin Baoyi, Du Xigui, Sa Zhenbing, etc. all sent telegrams in favor. Cao and Wu did not really agree on welcoming Li back as president. The so-called Baoding faction of Cao's left and right wanted to support Cao as president, but Wu thought it was not yet ripe.Although Cao Kun has repeatedly stated: "Ziyu's opinion is my opinion."But "Although Ziyu is close, it is better to kiss yourself." My own ambition is exactly the wish of the Baoding faction, that is, the president does it himself.But Wu wanted to welcome Li, so of course it was inconvenient for Cao to object, because the boss didn't want it in his heart.When he heard Li put forward the condition that he would disarm the army and abolish the governor before he would come to power, he slapped the table and jumped up, cursing: "Scary, you have to make a condition. What are you talking about? Praise him as a ready-made president. It’s really unreasonable to want to destroy us.” People from the Baoding faction kept telling Cao that Li was ungrateful, saying that welcoming Li's reinstatement was just a shield for Wu Peifu's reluctance to praise the old man as president.Therefore, it is advocated that Cao himself go to Beijing as the interim president, or organize an "administrative committee" as a transitional body before the election of the president. Wu Peifu knew that Cao's left and right were opposed to his plan, so he repeatedly told Cao that welcoming Li was a political means to deal with Guangdong and to dismantle the Guangdong government. Because the old Congress was restored, Guangdong's law enforcement lost its basis.What to do in the future will be easy.Wu's remarks were finally accepted by Cao Kun. Li Yuanhong longed for the reinstatement of the presidency day and night, but now it is all an affectation. He once sent Jin Yongyan to Hunan to ask Zhao Hengti to persuade the Southwest "United Governance Faction" to unanimously agree to restore the old Congress, so as to promote comprehensive reunification.After Jin returned to Tianjin, Li sent him to Baoding to look for Wu Peifu on June 8.Wu bluntly told Jin Yongyan: "Now the situation is complicated. If Huangpi puts on airs again, I can't do anything. Please return to Tianjin immediately and ask him to make a decision." Jin patted his chest and said, "I can take care of Huangpi, and Baoding Please stick to it." On June 10, Jin Yongyan returned to Tianjin from Baoding and reported to Li that the situation was urgent, because although Wu Peifu insisted on welcoming Li, Cao Kun's Baoding faction was actively opposing it.Therefore, Li Yuanhong no longer waited for the governors of the provinces to be "dismissed first", nor insisted on reducing troops and abolishing the governors, but sent two consecutive telegrams on the same day: One electricity: "...Received Cao and Wu's patrolling envoys, Qi, Feng, Yan, and Xiao's governors successively sent letters and telegrams, all expressing their approval (referring to the issue of abolishing the governor and disarming the troops), and the Cao and Wu envoys sent a telegram on Yangri to implement the first wish , advocated for all provinces; together with Qi Governor Geng Dian, it is a concrete example of the loyalty of the country....Yuan Hong was in trouble for the rest of his life, but when he heard the gospel, he wept with joy. I would like to enter the capital first on the 11th of this month, and temporarily assume the power of the president. Maintain order....The day when councilors enter Beijing one after another is the time for the overseer to be dismissed calmly." Second electric cloud: "...Legal questions are for Congress to interpret. . . . When Congress meets, let it be resolved. . . . " Regarding the term of office of Li's reinstatement, according to the 2nd National Presidential Election Law of the Republic of China, the presidential term is five years.Yuan Shikai took office as the first president on October 10, 2, and his term of office should expire in October, 7. However, because Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he failed and died in June of 5. Li Yuanhong succeeded as vice president according to law. Resigned in the event of restoration, and Feng Guozhang acted as vice president according to law.When Feng's acting term expired in October 7, Xu Shichang was elected by the Anfu Congress. According to this, Li Zhi's term of office has expired, and there is no legal basis for his reinstatement.Lu Yongxiang opposed Li's reinstatement on this basis in his telegram on June 3. However, it is also said that Feng Guozhang's agency is a de facto agency, not a legal agency. During the period when Xu Shichang resigned and Li Yuanhong was contemplating reinstatement, some people who were keen on power and position, because the political situation was changing, ran around and tried their best.The first class is naturally the active prime minister, and the most popular prime minister is Zhang Shaozeng, the former chief justice.This time planning Li Yuanhong's return to the presidency, the tension is also the most, so everyone is optimistic about Zhang Shaozeng. At this time, whoever is the president and whoever is the prime minister must of course have Wu Peifu nod. If he doesn't nod, no one can do it.Since Zhang Shaozeng has such a good support force, everyone naturally regards him as the most popular person. However, when his voice was the highest, on June 4, Wu Peifu sent a telegram to Wu Jinglian, Wang Jiaxiang, Bian Shoujing, Zhang Shaozeng, etc., saying: "In order to unify the Republic of China, Pei Fu and others urge Huangpi to be restored in accordance with the law. All people should unanimously urge to establish the foundation of the country early. Cabinet issues are the prerogative of the head of state. Whoever dares to intervene. Please do not ask questions about this. Zhou Shaopu, Sun Bolan Waiting for the formation of a cabinet, and the day when it will come true, Wu will use others to act on his behalf, which will make the people of the country feel cold. Jingyu (Zhang Shaozeng's word) thinks it is right to avoid suspicion from a long distance, and it is not suitable for melon fields and plums to take the blame for himself. At this point in state affairs, politicians It is really painful that the soldiers are still only seeking self-interest. The two brothers Youshan (Wang Jiaxiang) and Lianbo (Wu Jinglian) should represent the councilors and be responsible for urging the head of state to return to Beijing in the near future to consolidate the central government. Then the head of state will propose Prime Minister, it is advisable for the people in the north and the south to look forward to Yunfu, and those who have private plans inside are not people with a heart...” Wu Peifu's telegram was a reply to Wu Jinglian's public recommendation of Zhang Shaozeng to form a cabinet, and asked Wu Peifu to support him.But this reply scolded all the people who were keen to become officials. Accompanied by Wang Jiaxiang, Wu Jinglian, and representatives from the provinces directly related to Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong traveled from Tianjin to Beijing in a special car on June 11. He was greeted grandly at the Beijing Railway Station, which was completely different from when he left Beijing in embarrassment. On the day Li arrived in Beijing, he announced his reinstatement. At the same time, he planned to appoint Wu Tingfang as the prime minister.Why did Li appoint Wu Tingfang?It turned out that what Li Yuanhong meant was to restore everything to the original state before he stepped down, the old Congress, the old president, and the old prime minister.Wu Tingfang was the last Prime Minister before the dissolution of the National Assembly. At the same time, after the establishment of the Southern Law Protection Government, Wu was relied on by Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou. After Li came to power, he naturally wanted to achieve the reunification of the North and the South with his own strength.Therefore, Wu Tingfang was nominated as the Prime Minister to show his favor to the south.Before his order was written, someone reminded Li: Wu Tingfang has a very weird temper and is the most popular in the northern government. The personnel order issued by the president now needs to be signed by Zhou Ziqi, the acting prime minister left behind by Xu Shichang, and Zhou Ziqi He absolutely refuses to countersign this order, and it is best not to cause any unpleasant incidents on the first day of reinstatement. Li Yi was right in thinking that he had to bow his head to the reality, so he took back the written order, and at the same time decided to reassign Yan Huiqing to be the Prime Minister and notify Zhou Ziqi to countersign the order.
