Chapter 49 On Restoration (May 1916)

Yu has been in the army for more than a month, and foreign affairs are a little bit blocked. After hearing about the roads, it is said that there are one or two old people at sea, and there are quite a few people who hold the theory of the restoration of the Qing emperor.Since there are those who advocate it and make peace with it, I can't be silent. As far as the most simple and straightforward things are concerned: if the people of this country are working hard today, and they are fighting against each other without thinking about their lives, don't they say that they are against the monarchy?Those who oppose the emperor's cloud say that there is no one who can be the emperor, and they are not just saying that there is no emperor.If it is said that there should be an emperor in China, but the one who is fighting for is the ownership of the emperor? What, it is admitted that after the "Chou Anhui" took place and before the order to proclaim the emperor on December 13th, everything Yuan Shikai did was out of seeking the country. Loyalty, its great wisdom? It is beyond the reach of the whole country.And Yang Ruirui's "On the Salvation of the Nation by the Monarch Constitution" is actually a book that is not published by the sun and the moon.But seniors, why don't you stand up at that time as a representative of the petition, and make a drumbeat with your generation?When it comes to discussing the throne? At the time of the genus, a sudden army rose up and pleaded for the order of the old king. Isn't this a dignified husband?Gu Nai was otherwise, when the Chou Anhui was very popular and the people of the whole country were devastated, they stood by and waited to see the success or failure; now there are also several provinces where the army and the people have stopped talking about the word "imperial system". The thief's realm has not yet recovered half of it, facing the old man on the Xiaoyao River, he suddenly raises his head and raises his eyebrows, discussing right and wrong, making enemies with everyone, and helping the thief open his eyes.I was shocked by his thick face, but I was surprised by his intentions.

The husband said that the way to build a country is that every monarchy will be safe, and every republic will be in danger. No matter how it is maintained, there must be no reason, and the words will never make sense. Let's make ten steps or a hundred steps, saying that this theory is theoretically complete. Based on the basis, especially depending on the direction of the people.I have never heard of the fact that the national system can be established in violation of the people's sentiments.Now let me ask: Is the sentiment of the people of the whole country tending toward a republic, or toward an imperial system?I don't need to spend my words on this, but the unanimous opposition of the people of the country to the monarchy over the past few months has become an irrefutable evidence.Those who dream of restoration today, if they say that the state system does not need to be based on people's sentiments, are so stupid that I have no reason to explain it; if they still admit that the state system and the people's sentiments should depend on each other, then the premise of their arguments must first be that the restoration of the monarchy is a reality Out of national opinion.If so, the accusations against Yuan Shikai of falsifying public opinion by Chinese people today should be groundless slander.Therefore, the theory of restoration is none other than his theory. To put it bluntly, it is only the theory of the party and Yuan, and it is only the theory of rebellion.

The only argument for restorationists is that a republic must fight for the presidency by force, and that a non-monarchy cannot have a responsible cabinet.This kind of small talk and great meaning was actually invented by Yang Ruirui, the leader of the Six Gentlemen of Chou'an, half a year ago.Yang Rui's words said: "The country cannot be saved without a constitution, and the constitution cannot be established without a monarch." I want to ask the people of the country, whether Yang Rui's statement "No constitution cannot be established without a monarch" is still worth refuting?But wait and see, is it still worth refuting what he picks up Yang Rui's saliva to make an argument?This kind of refutation costs me pen and ink, and the injustice and cruelty of pen and ink are beyond reproach.But since I can't speak for myself, please use some decisive words to inform the gentlemen of the old and new schools of Chi'an. (The thesis written by the Restoration School is "Chou An Ding Policy", so it is named "Chou An New School".) Said: Whether the country can establish a constitution, only two conditions should be premised on: first, whether the soldiers can not interfere in politics, The second question is whether a good political party can be established.Both the new and the old schools of thoughtful security say that if China is a republic, it will always fight for the president by force, and a responsible cabinet will never be established.Isn't the premise that China's politics in the future will always be controlled by force, and neither the Congress nor the government can? It is also on the right track to fulfill its responsibility.If so, it is easy to be a republic and become a monarch, but how can there be no one in charge of the army in the country?Under the system of a republic, he dared to use his power to fight for the president; under the system of a monarchy, why couldn't he use his power to challenge the cabinet?He does not need to compete for a seat in the cabinet, but he will actually treat the cabinet as a slave and make him enslaved.At that time, the person who was the prime minister and minister was a wife among dozens of evil aunts. How can I ask if there is any constitution at all?Therefore, if the attitude of our soldiers in the future is as presumed by the two factions of Chiu'an, then even though it is called a republic, it cannot be established as a constitution, and if it is easy to be a monarch, how can it be established as a constitution?Again, the responsible cabinet depends on the Congress, and the Congress depends on the political parties.The political party is corrupt, chaotic and violent, and under the republic, its evil influence will directly affect the Congress, and indirectly affect the cabinet. If it is easy to be a monarch, the result will be the same.At that time, those who were prime ministers and ministers were struggling to deal with it, and how could there be a constitution at all?Therefore, if the level of politicians in our country in the future is as inferred by the two factions of Chiu'an, even if they are called a republic, they cannot be established as a constitution, and if they are easy to become a monarch, how can they be constitutional?On the contrary, soldiers can suppress their ambitions, and politicians can follow the right path. Under the monarchy, a cabinet of full responsibility can be established; under the system of a republic, why can’t a cabinet of full responsibility be established?The constitution of a monarchy can be a stipulation that the head of state has no responsibility, but can the constitution of a republic be a stipulation of the same?If it is said that the provisions of the constitution are not enough to guarantee, then the constitution of the republic can be written at any time, that is, the constitution of the monarchy is not a waste of paper?If you believe this, then the people of our country should bow their heads and stick to their ears, waiting for the entry of foreign countries to rule. This is a question of whether our people can build a country, not a question of which is better or worse.

I have one more thing to say: Don't those who advocate the theory of restoration today say that they care about the old master?If you sincerely have the heart to love and protect the old master, then it is advisable to house it in safety, not in danger.Throughout the history, the emperors of the world have several surnames, have you ever seen an emperor's lineage that will not be overthrown?In the Battle of 1911, the former Qing Dynasty ended up like this, which can be said to be a rare blessing that has never been seen in the emperor's family since ancient times.Today, if the theory of restoration is rampant again, the thieves who moved to the country in security will not be wiped out, and it will be hopeless.Otherwise, the restoration will be seen as a fact, and I dare to hang my eyes on the gate of the country to see the continuous revolution.When the ashes come back to life, people will drown in it.How can the princes hate the Yin of the former Qing Dynasty, but they must frown at Wuxi and start to be quick.
