Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Must Catch Congressman

Xiong Bingqi is not an open-minded person, but, when things came to an end, and seeing Cao Kun's desperation, he had to say a few big words to strengthen Cao Kun's courage.In fact, I was in a panic in my heart. Spending money to buy an official is always inconsistent with reason and law. People all over the world will criticize me if I make a fuss.Although Xiong Bingqi felt that Cao Kun should support the collapse of the sky, Cao Kun was the leader of the direct line after all. Once Cao Kun's big tree fell, he, Xiong Bingqi and his group of hozen would all become exiles, and there was no mountain to rely on.Therefore, he had to be brave enough to do something to support Cao Kun's waist.Xiong Bingqi hung up the painting and looked at it genuinely and falsely—in fact, he was not looking at the painting, but he was thinking about how the "trouble" caused by Shao Ruipeng would end? Don't be afraid of the General Prosecutor's Office, it's an official matter, as long as it has power, it can be suppressed.What he is afraid of is public anger, public opinion, and celebrities who have no hat on their heads but have a lot of influence, such as Shao Ruipeng and his like.

However, Xiong Bingqi couldn't think of a way to "turn the tide", so he had to frown and pretend to be in Danqing. Thinking of a man named He Guanxiong when Yuan Shikai proclaimed the emperor, who caused that useless story, Cao Kun's nervous mood was relieved. "Yes, He Guanxiong is more influential than Shao Ruipeng, a few roars are of no use, Yuan Xiangcheng is still the emperor..." However, Cao Kun immediately became nervous again when he thought of Yuan Shikai becoming the emperor. "I became the emperor, but it's only a short life of eighty-three days! Is it short-lived if I buy the president like this? Sure enough, it's short-lived, and I'm not worth it. I went bankrupt and did it. It's not like Yuan Shikai. He didn't spend any money. Money." Cao Kun lay on the chair, anxious.

However, when he looked sideways at Xiong Bingqi, he was not nervous, but was concentrating on the painting. "Is it true that Shao Ruipeng is not worth paying attention to?" Cao Kun also often handled things according to his civil servants and generals. Seeing that they were calm, he thought "the situation is not serious" and calmed down.He stood up slowly, walked behind Xiong Bingqi, and started watching "Shanglin Tu". "Runcheng, I have never been interested in calligraphy and painting. I only got close to it in the past two years. I know a little bit about it. What do you think of this picture?"

Only then did Xiong Bingqi return to the painting, and said: "Shan Shuai's calligraphy has been praised by celebrities in Jingbao. If you only count as 'knowing the superficial', Runcheng is a veritable layman. I just want to ask the commander-in-chief for advice. One or two." Cao Kun smiled. "Suggesting what? Nonsense. I only know that the person who painted this painting was from the Ming Dynasty. I also want to look up the classics to see what kind of person it is. I don't have time yet. Good day, come and check it out. Otherwise, there will be someone else's ink in our home, and we don't know who it is, how bad it is!"

Xiong Bingqi laughed secretly: "When is it all, I still have Yaxing to check who and what paintings!" However, he still said: "Shan Shuai, you can leave this matter to me. I will send this person to me someday." Write down the situation on a piece of paper for you in detail, so that you can understand it in your heart." At the same time as the election bribery turmoil broke out in Beijing, Tianjin suddenly became chaotic—— On that day, Li Yuanhong was forced to hand over his presidential seal at the station, and signed a resignation telegram before being released by Wang Chengbin.Li Yuanhong finally "freed" with his entourage.However, Li Yuanhong was chased back by Wang Chengbin before he disappeared.

"Your Excellency Song Qing, take a step slowly. There is still one thing you need to do." Li Yuanhong was stunned.He looked at Wang Chengbin, and said impatiently: "Everything has been done according to your requirements, what else can I do?" Wang Chengbin smiled, took out another piece of paper, and said: "Your Excellency Song Qing, although your resignation telegram has been sent out, there is still time for the Congress to study and approve it. The middle school cannot be left alone for a day. Here is another telegram for you. It needs to be signed." He handed the paper to Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong took it over and took a look, and there were a few lines like this: Beijing State Council: The president of this country has left Beijing for some reason and has resigned to the Congress. All presidential duties are taken by the State Council according to law.Should follow immediately! President Li Hanyin Still helpless, Li Yuanhong sneered and signed his name with a pen. Li Yuanhong finally escaped.At this time, it was already midnight on the 14th, so the word "cold" was used in the telegram. Li Yuanhong was completely gone, and Gao Lingwei, acting prime minister in Beijing, notified the provinces of his two telegrams in an attempt to exercise totalitarian power:

Gao Lingwei was wrong. According to the routine, Gao Lingwei's "announcement" should be responded to by all provinces, and they can give "support" echoes one after another.In this way, he can legitimately issue orders.As a result, it was not crowded, but deserted, and there was still a gloomy wind everywhere. ——The president’s resignation telegram and entrusting the prime minister’s regent telegram can only be effective if the prime minister’s signature is attached. Gao Lingwei is the acting prime minister and knows that the appendix is ​​weak. As a result, in addition to his own name, Zhang Yinghua and Li Dingxin were added , Cheng Ke, Shen Ruilin, Jin Shaozeng, and Sun Duoyu, the six cabinet members, got all electrified and nondescript.

——The current Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng is still in Tianjin. Without his signature, the president’s resignation telegram is considered invalid.Therefore, some people discussed and suggested that Zhang Shao should come to Beijing to take charge. du8.com copyright ——Gao Lingwei heard that someone supported Zhang Shaozeng's administration, of course he would not agree, and immediately organized forces in Beijing to obstruct it. ——There is chaos in the immediate family: some people want to take the opportunity to seize power and advocate the immediate election of the president; Instead, it advocates slowing down...

The middle school is in chaos, Beijing is in chaos, Baoding is in chaos, and Tianjin is also in chaos. Gao Lingwei hurried to Baoding with Wang Chengbin, Governor of Zhili Province.Seeing Cao Kun, he talked about the situation in Beijing, and made a request: "The situation is unstable, and there may be a sudden change. It is better to ask the commander-in-chief to go to Beijing to take charge of everything." After Cao Kun rejoiced for a while, his mood was not stable. After all, the fifteen presidential seals were not obtained in a grand manner.Now it seems that no one can touch these fifteen seals except for owning them.But, who knows when he can really become his own? Cao Kun is very suspicious of the generals under him, and always feels that they are not so reassuring in their handling of affairs, not to mention that Wu Peifu has been living far away in Luoyang, silent.Now, let him go to Beijing again to stabilize the corner there.He was a little restless.He frowned for a while, and then said, "I remembered, have you dealt with diplomatic missions in this paragraph?"

"We've dealt with each other," Gao Lingwei said. "What's their attitude?" Cao Kun asked. "There has been no sign of recognizing a regency cabinet." "On what basis?" "Diplomatic official documents only use official letters and do not need notes. The specific questions involved will not be answered." "..." Cao Kun's frowning brows added a few more wrinkles.He stood up slowly, pacing on the spot. ——Cao Kun is far from the Cao Kun of the past. When he was appointed as the governor of the third town at the age of 44, he was so ambitious. No matter in Baoding, Fengtian, or Changchun, he always went forward and faced difficulties; 52 When he became the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River at the age of 56, he was invincible and fought day and night; at the age of 56, he was promoted to the economic strategy envoy of Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi. (1919) Feng Guozhang died, and Cao Kun became the leader of the Zhili warlords. He began to dream big, and joined forces to fight against Anhui, and then fought against Fengzhang; obliterate.However, in only three years, today's Cao Kun, apart from dreaming of a great position, has adopted an attitude of avoiding all risks, big and small.He didn't want to go to Beijing. He didn't have the ability to clean up the mess in Beijing. The second thing was that he didn't want to clean up the mess, and he didn't dare to clean up the mess.The political disputes are so chaotic, and the military is not calm.Although making military pay is a direct attack on Li Yuanhong.However, military pay is a real big problem.Gao Lingwei has become regent, and the chief financial officer has been replaced, but the financial emptiness still exists. It is difficult to cook without rice. Cao Kun was also disheartened.He said to Gao Lingwei and Wang Chengbin: "I'd better not go to Beijing for the time being. There are no major issues in Beijing, and minor disturbances are temporary. You don't need to panic. I think that as long as Yangyi and the others finish the major issues, everything will be calm. The most urgent thing It's about arresting MPs." In a tactful manner, Cao Kun still avoided the whirlpool and sat firmly in his Baoding. Li Yuanhong, who went into hiding in Tianjin, felt "peaceful" for three or two days, but couldn't swallow his breath, "Cao Kun..." Li Yuanhong couldn't forget Cao Kun's invitation to come out of the mountain again, how enthusiastic he was; He would never have dreamed that there would be escape from Beijing, there would be forced seals in Tianjin, there would be... before his eyes, the scene of Wang Chengbin's forced seals appeared again, and Wang Chengbin took the drafted message and asked him to "mark" that scene. "It's an insult to my personality!" Now, Li Yuanhong is only surrounded by the Army Chief Kim Yong-yen who came out with him, but has no authority, and the American adviser Fu Kaisen-these two days, they will only fall into a deep sleep, listless.Li Yuanhong came to Jin Yongyan's room slowly, and said to him with deep thoughts: "This forced palace scene is shocking enough! We didn't have a premonition. Do you think it's strange?" Jin Yongyan lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it, only let it emit a faint smoke.After a long time, he said: "It's not surprising. On the issue of power, anyone, any time, is unscrupulous. We are too bookish." "I can't swallow this breath!" Jin Yongyan smiled——what if you can’t swallow it? Now we speak by force, and the force in our hands is not as strong as others, and we have no capital to fight——.Jin Yongyan could only smile. Li Yuanhong has more experience than Jin Yongyan, which is also a kind of "capital".He thought for a long time, and said: "If you can't use force, use words! You have to show them some sensuality if you use words." Jin Yongyan was overjoyed. "Yes!" He said, "How to move the text?" "I have my own way!" Soon, Li Yuanhong sent a telegram in Tianjin in the name of the President: Withdraw his resignation message to the Congress; Denying the "cold" day's telegram ordering the State Council to regent; the President is exercising his powers in Tianjin; Tang Shaoyi was appointed as the Prime Minister, and before Tang took office, Li Gengen, the head of agriculture and commerce, was temporarily in charge. · Even though Li Yuanhong fell out of favor, the influence is still there. The president has not been legally removed, and Cao Zhi's methods towards him are not popular.With Li's instigation like this, fires broke out in all directions: Members of Congress Chu Fucheng and Jiao Yitang who have already arrived in Shanghai issued a statement not to recognize the Beijing government and Congress; Various associations in Shanghai have also sent calls, not recognizing the Beijing government; Letters and telegrams from Fengtian, Zhejiang and the southwestern provinces were flooded, refusing to recognize the regency government... Where there is wind, there will be waves. This anti-Cao trend resists Cao Kun's activities of bribing parliamentarians. These days, the most anxious one is Cao Kun. The weather in Baoding is also troublesome. It changes several times a day. Cao Kun felt the same way. "It's not so easy to spend money to buy votes!? If I knew this, why should I be in such a hurry? When Wu Ziyu has enough troops, it would be better to take them by force." Now it can't work, there are a lot of checks Even if you don't want the ballot, you can't take it back.Now, the only feasible way is to seize the time and promote the early opening of the Congress. Cao Kun brought Secretary-General Wang Yuzhi, Chief of Staff Xiong Bingqi, and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Tan to his study for a decision-making meeting. Everyone arrived, but the study room was strangely silent, no one spoke, no one moved, all of them had silent faces, as if they were waiting for a terrible moment to come. Cao Kun was in a hurry! However, he felt that these few of his most capable assistants would understand his intentions, and they would come up with clever plans to deal with the urgent task as soon as they met each other. "I usually treat you as friends enough, and I hand over all the power to you, and this time I hand over all the family assets to you, don't you know how to fight for me? Raise soldiers for a while, and now, I I need you, you have to work hard!" Cao Kun thought anxiously in his heart, looking sideways in panic.However, each one was silent. ——What are you talking about? It seems that everyone is at a loss.When driving Li Yuanhong away, everyone thought in a simple way and did it smoothly.As soon as Li Yuanhong left, it seemed that everything would be fine, and only Cao Laosan had to come up with his family's money.Now, Cao Laosan has lost his family, and things have gone wrong instead. Wang Tan didn’t speak, and there was a reason why he didn’t speak: “I’m working on the job of Speaker Wu Jinglian. The work on the big head is done, and my task is completed. The next step is the meeting of the Congress. Let the big head come forward and call it out. As for Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and the south, I shouldn't ask, so why bother!" Wang Yuzhi was always a cunning person, and would go around when things went wrong.He has done a lot for Cao Laosan a while ago, and he has contributed a lot just to help him raise money! In recent days, he has been busy in Beijing night and day, sending checks to congressmen, saying good things, running around, His mouth was worn out, and he was dedicated, "I can only do this. As for the overall situation, it should be done by Gao Lingwei, who is acting as the state affairs agent in the capital, and let them stabilize it. The secretary-general of one of my tour envoys is Powerless." Xiong Bingqi felt that what he was holding in his arms was a "child" who didn't cry. "Whenever the commander-in-chief needs to use troops, I will dispatch them; wherever they need to be used, I will direct them there." He is the chief of staff, and he feels that is his bounden duty.For the rest, he didn't want to ask more questions-he had his own views on buying the president with money, but he didn't say it clearly, he wanted to follow the trend.If he succeeds, he will have a piece of "glory", and if he fails, he will not be the "mastermind". Sometimes there was silence in the study, but Cao Kun spoke first. "Let's talk about it, let's see what to do?" He was probably afraid that others would still not speak up, so he had to express his own opinion first. "Things have reached this point. I think we can only advance, not retreat. How to advance? My opinion is divided into two steps: the first step is to take action to control members of Congress from continuing to go south. Those in Tianjin and Beijing must stay. Next. The second step is to quickly send the money to each of them, give them reassurance, and stop the idea of ​​going south. I think we can add some "sweetness" and tell them that all congressmen who go to Beijing to participate in the election, Each person can receive 600 yuan per month for living expenses." At this point, Cao Kun puffed up his chest, took a deep breath, and continued: "In a word, don't worry about money, everyone, and do good things for the purpose." Cao Kun expressed his attitude, proposed a plan, and spared no expense, and the rest of the people were naturally "relaxed".Xiong Bingqi said, "I will go to Beijing immediately, arrange the military and police well, and make a tight blockade, so as not to let a member go south." Wang Tan said, "I will go to see Speaker Wu Jinglian immediately, tell him the 'superior conditions', and ask him to do a good job as a member. "Wang Yuzhi also came to "Intelligence", he said: "We can send more people to Shanghai to make public opinion, explain the "great love" that the Marshal gave to the congressmen in Beijing, and said that "all congressmen are welcome to return to Beijing , the commander-in-chief must treat everyone equally'. I think that as long as the work is done to the heart of the congressman, some people will return to Beijing." du8.com copyright The emergency meeting in the study room was over, everyone split up and went about their own work.Wang Tan took a step too late, and said to Cao Kun: "Shan Shuai, I think it's the case. The big head will cash it all out this time, so that he can make a final effort to get things done." "Yes." Cao Kun said without hesitation: "Didn't you give him 100,000 a few days ago, and this time I will give it to him..." It was discussed earlier and planned to give Wu Jinglian 300,000 yuan.Now, Cao Kun felt less, he was afraid that Wu Jinglian would not give his life.So, after thinking for a while, he said, "Don't mention the 100,000 last time. This time you bring another 300,000 yuan. Just say that the matter is done, and I will give you a big gift, never Treat him badly." "The commander-in-chief's intentions are very good." Wang Tan said: "Although the big head is our man, you know how he is. This man values ​​money more than favors. If you spend a little more on him, he will make a lot more money." Participate." Cao Kun nodded and said, "Why don't I know him well? We don't have to worry about it. To us, it doesn't matter how much money we have. The key is that if we let people do things, we have to make them feel at ease." Comfortable and willing.” When he said this, Cao Kun thought in his heart: “You, Wang Yangyi, can’t hide from me what’s on your mind, why Wu Datou’s “he thinks money is more important than favors”? Debt of favor, take my 'pig and sheep' to repay the wish! That's fine, I hope you all will do your best." Satisfied, Wang Tan took Cao Kun's check and went to Beijing again.Let us go back and look at the Congress of the Beiyang period.After the Revolution of 1911, the Republic of China was established, and Sun Yat-sen became the interim president.At that time, the "Federation of Representatives of Provincial Governors" composed of representatives from various provinces formulated the "Outline of the Organization of the Government of the Republic of China", established the basic political system of the country, and decided to establish the Senate as a temporary national legislature. On January 28, 1912, the Provisional Senate was established in Nanjing, with Lin Sen as the speaker and Wang Zhengting as the deputy speaker, with a total of 42 members, representing 17 provinces including Fujian, Zhejiang, and Sichuan. The result of the Revolution of 1911 - the power of the Republic of China was transferred to Yuan Shikai's hands, and Sun Yat-sen only placed his hopes on the parliament and the formulation of a democratic constitution. On March 8, 1912, the Provisional Constitution drafted by the Senate Provisional Constitution Drafting Conference was passed. On March 11, Sun Yat-sen, in the name of the Provisional President, promulgated the first law in Chinese history with the nature of a bourgeois republic constitution— - "Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China"; on April 1, Sun Yat-sen announced the "Senate Law". The provisional government moved north to Beijing, and the Senate also moved to Beijing. On April 29, 1912, the Senate continued to meet at the former site of the Qing Dynasty Zizheng Yuan.At this time, the parliament consisted of 22 provinces, plus Mongolia and Qinghai, a total of 24 regions.Elected Wu Jinglian as the speaker, Tang Hualong as the vice speaker, and Gu Zhongxiu as the chairman of the whole committee.After the Senate was moved to Beijing, the Organic Law of the Congress, the Law on the Election of Members of the Senate, and the Law on the Election of Members of the House of Representatives were enacted successively.The Congress adopts a bicameral system, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members of the House of Representatives serve three-year terms, and members of the Senate serve six-year terms. On April 8, 1913, the first session of the National Congress opened at the venue of the House of Representatives in Xiangfangqiao, Beijing, and the Provisional Senate was declared disintegrated.Only after reluctantly electing Yuan Shikai as president and Li Yuanhong as vice president on October 6 of the same year, this Congress was forcibly dissolved by Yuan Shikai on January 10, 1914. In June 1916, Yuan Shikai's imperial system went bankrupt and died under the scolding of the Chinese people. Li Yuanhong succeeded to the presidency as vice president. On June 29, Li Yuanhong ordered the restoration of the National Assembly. On August 1, Congress continued to convene, and on October 30, Feng Guozhang was elected as the vice president. ... Zhang Xun was restored, and the "Temporary Constitution" was abolished. Sun Yat-sen launched the "Law Protection Movement" in Guangzhou, inviting members of Congress to go south to protect the law.Members of Congress flocked south. On August 19, members of the Guangdong Council issued a telegram, deciding to convene an "extraordinary congressional meeting" (also called an "extraordinary congress") to organize a law-protecting government. On August 25, the "Extraordinary Congress" met. On September 1, the military government headed by Sun Yat-sen was elected to protect the law, and Sun Yat-sen was the generalissimo.The Extraordinary Congress is a continuation of the First Congress, so all laws remain in force.Sun Yat-sen was repelled by the coalition of the Southwest Warlord and the Northern Warlord during the Dharma Protection Movement, and Sun Yat-sen resigned angrily. In July 1918, the Extraordinary Congress passed a resolution to dismiss the members of Congress who had not yet arrived in Guangdong, and to make up the quorum with alternate volunteers. In September, Xuanke became the "official Congress", known in history as the "National Congress". After Zhang Xun's restoration failed, Duan Qirui instructed Xu Shuzheng to set up the "Anfu Club" to harass politicians and manipulate the election of the new Congress. On August 12, 1918, the new Congress was established, known as the "Anfu Congress". On September 4, the Anfu Congress elected Xu Shichang as the president. On August 30, 1920, the two-year expiration of the Anfu Congress announced the adjournment.Xu Shichang ordered the election of new members according to the "Congress Organization Law" in the first year of the Republic of China, and the convening of a new Congress.It was when the provinces were electing new councilors that the Zhifeng War broke out. In April 1922, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu of the direct line defeated Zhang Zuolin of the Feng line, Xu Shichang was ousted from power, and Li Yuanhong came out again. On June 13, Li Yuanhong revoked the "Decree Dissolving the National Assembly" in 1917. On August 1, the first Congress announced its resumption in Beijing, and Wu Jinglian once again returned to the position of speaker.This is the current Congress. The Congress has been restored again. Whether it is the original members of Congress, the replacement members of the "National Eighth Congress" or the dismissed members of the Extraordinary Congress, and even the "closed" members of the Anfu Congress, they all want to compete for a seat, and they all want to compete for "orthodoxy".As a result, a battle for parliamentary seats was launched across the country.As a result, those with big fists and powerful forces, hooligans, thugs, thugs, and social scum all entered the Congress. They acted according to power and money, and no one had any major issues of the country and the people in mind. Li Yuanhong went to the field again, the situation in Beijing was chaotic, and someone in Shanghai paid to win him over, and some congressmen went south one after another, like crows looking for food.Now, Beijing is "lighting up" again. As long as you go to Beijing to participate in the election, each person can get a remuneration of 5,000 yuan first, and a monthly allowance of 600 yuan in the future. The temptation is great! Therefore, the congressmen on the way south may have already The councilors who came to Shanghai were all moved. They thought of ways to use their old friends to sneak around, from water to land, and went northward, and most of them returned to Beijing.Don't look at these people who were afraid that the speaker Wu Datou would know when they left, but now that they are back, they are afraid that Wu Datou will not know.As soon as they entered the city, they rushed to Xiaomaxian Alley, casting smiles on the speaker. ． Wu Jinglian received a generous gift from the Cao family, so he naturally devoted himself to serving the Cao family.Every time a member of parliament came, he would inform Wang Tan in time, and Wang Tan would treat him graciously in time, arrange board and board, and then respectfully present a check for the amount of 5,000 yuan; serving or a little more. There are more cars, horses and pedestrians in Xiaomaxian Hutong; Wu Jinglian is not lonely anymore, he smiles happily in the guest room, smells the fragrance of tea, and receives the "subordinates" one after another; Wang Tan became a frequent visitor to the Wu family, and the speaker gave him food and drink every day; sooner or later, the sadness on the deputy chief of staff's face completely disappeared... On that day, Wu Jinglian came to Wang Tan's room early in the morning, and said to him with a smile, "Yangyi, you have been busy these few days since you came here, and I don't care about entertaining you. I don't know how well you eat." How? Rest well?" Wang Tan also laughed. "Brother, you are all brothers in your own family. How polite to say that." He added: "I always regard my place as my home. When I get home, everything is warm. I don't need to say 'entertainment' anymore." No 'entertainment'." Wang Tan said this, but he was happy in his heart - with the enthusiasm of his wife Xu Yuheng, there is no need to trouble the elders.Every morning, morning and evening, Wang Tan would go to that bright and dark room to accept Xu Yuheng's hospitality. Xu Yuheng tried his best to prepare the best meals, and even held a cup to clink with him, sometimes even talking to him. : 1 to "persuade" a few cups; when half drunk, cuddling and hugging are always inevitable, especially at night, Wang Tan often doesn't go back until half the night.Isn't such hospitality not warm enough?! Wang Tan hoped that Wu Datou would retreat far away. Wu Jinglian didn't pay much attention to these, and consciously couldn't.Simply "out of sight, it's clear", and still said with a smile: "Yangyi, the situation is very good, very good!" Probably because he received a huge sum of money from others and things are going well. When Wu Jinglian spoke, he seemed very excited and excited. Dexuan's chubby face seemed to have been pushed by snow, and his eyes, which were not round, became magical, and his short mustache slapped - this person has such a personality: he is forgetful and complacent when he is smooth; he is dejected when he is confused , like a pig that can't be killed.The "very good" he said to Wang Tan meant that many congressmen had returned to Beijing and had received the check from Cao Kun.In this way, he received Cao Kun's 400,000 yuan twice, and he could put it in his pocket with peace of mind.Wang Tan is not so relaxed, although most of the checks in his hand have been sent out, he is not at ease about the effect.He has learned about the situation of the councilors. There are honest and honest people, and there are also many bad guys with ulterior motives. Will someone accept the gift and not treat the "guest"? Will someone slip away after receiving the check? Don't look at the sign of the councilor. There are six people, including male thieves and female prostitutes.Therefore, his handsome face remained silent. He didn't even smile at Wu Jinglian's words, but asked calmly, "How is the situation? How good is it?" Wu Jinglian said: "Most of the congressmen who went south have returned." "I know that." "They accepted all the checks we sent." "I know that too." "Up to now, there are 590 MPs in Beijing, more than 60% of the total number of MPs, meeting the quorum for the meeting." Wang Tan was finally excited, "This is good news. Is it legal to hold a congress now?" "Of course." Wu Jinglian said: "The "Organization Law of the National Assembly" stipulates that more than half of the members are legal to hold a meeting." "Okay, let's hurry up and arrange the national meeting!" Wang Tan finally had a smile on his face after being silent for many days.This smile made her look a lot more beautiful in an instant, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were thick and black, her eyes sparkled, her small crew cut looked elegant and dignified, and she was wearing a long gown that fitted her. She looked extremely handsome.In comparison, Wu Jinglian was much inferior, no wonder Mrs. Xu had empathized with him long ago. That night, Wang Tan reported the situation to Cao Kun in Baoding.Cao Kun held the teacup with a smile and heaved a sigh of relief.
