Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen The Fisherman President

The Fourth Xuzhou Warlords Meeting presided over by Zhang Xun was held on May 21, 1917.Because Duan Qirui's Anhui warlords tried their best to be courageous, the meeting finally passed a resolution to support Zhang Xun's restoration of the north.The governors or representatives of the governors from thirteen provinces including Fengtian, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Zhili, Anhui, Henan, and Shanxi, as well as representatives of Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang, who participated in the meeting, also signed their names on a piece of yellow satin. show joint responsibility.Just when Zhang Xun was thinking of "entering Beijing under some banner", President Li Yuanhong actually sent a telegram ordering Zhang Xun to lead his troops to Beijing to mediate the "dispute between government and court" by force.Zhang Xun had an excuse, so he led the six thousand braided army to march northward.

Zhang Xun's braided army arrived in Tianjin on June 8.Junjin no longer advances.Zhang Xun entered the city and went to Xu's house in the concession to meet his teacher Xu Shichang. 63-year-old Zhang Xun entered Xu's house, gave a "teacher" ceremony to 62-year-old Xu Shichang, and greeted him again, and then said: "Thanks to the teacher's support, Shaoxuan can go north. I will complete a Is there something important about Kuanggu?" Xu Shichang frowned suddenly, and it took him a long time to say: "Shaoxuan, the team has also arrived in Tianjin?"

"Here we are." Zhang Xun said, "Now we are temporarily staying outside the city, and we will go to Beijing after a short stop." "Hmm--" Xu Shichang only answered vaguely, and then diverted the conversation. "I heard your troops still wear braids, don't they?" Zhang Xun nodded and said "Yes!" "That's just an appearance, it doesn't mean anything." Only then did Zhang Xun look up at the teacher, and the teacher really didn't have any braids.Zhang Xun slightly locked his eyebrows... Originally, Xu Shichang's attitude towards restoration was firm, and he sent Li Xizhen to Xuzhou as a representative to express his intention.After the Xuzhou Governor's Meeting, Xu Shichang also thought hard in Tianjin and designed several plans for Zhang Xun after the restoration, such as: implementing a constitutional monarchy, striving for the full power of the army, etc., and he himself also wanted to fight for a A "regent king" or a name similar to a regent, but also thinking of marrying his daughter to Pu Yi as a "queen" (there were rumors that Xu Shichang wanted to learn from Cao Cao and ration his daughter to Han Xiandi. Therefore, some people say that Xu Shichang is the present Cao Cao), and so on.However, the matter of restoration is only active in the thoughts of a few "nostalgic" people, and more public opinion is criticizing and accusing. What's more, Xu Shuzheng has already shown him the purpose of restoration, which is just a play.Xu Shichang became cautious, he felt the short life of the restoration.So, after a while of contemplation, he said earnestly, "Shaoxuan, you go to Beijing to mediate the disputes between Li and Duan. Even if you let it go, the restoration is absolutely impossible at this time."

After hearing this, Zhang Xun was stunned: "What does this mean? The teacher disagrees with the restoration, so why send a representative to Xuzhou. Your representative also signed his name on the restoration resolution. Now that Huang Lingzi is here, why do you say it again?" What if it is impossible?" Zhang Xun really wanted to question him face to face.However, after thinking about it again: "The teacher has always been tactful in things all his life. Maybe he looked around and left a way out for himself? Fortunately, Huang Lingzi is here, so you will not deny it." Thinking of this, Zhang Xun smiled Said: "I will remember the teacher's words. After arriving in Beijing, I will play by ear. Please rest assured, teacher."

In a few days, Zhang Xun's braided soldiers went to Beijing. In June in Beijing, the weather was not yet hot, but the people were "hot": Li Yuanhong drove away Duan Qirui and appointed Wu Tingfang as the Prime Minister. This person only worked for eighteen days and stepped down.The current Prime Minister is Li Jingxi, nephew of Li Hongzhang, who originally wanted to ease the conflict between Li and Duan. Who knows that this Li Jingxi is an "unable to support the emperor" and does not serve as a council member. The state affairs are still replaced by Wu Tingfang.Lei Zhenchun and Zhang Zhenfang (former governor of Henan, Yuan Shikai's cousin) took credit for Xu Shichang's failure to serve as the army and navy, and blackmailed Li Yuanhong. One wanted to be the chief of the army, and the other wanted to be the chief of finance. They turned to go along with driving Li.Zhang Xun originally wanted to "observe the situation" when he arrived in Beijing, but Lei Zhenchun and Zhang Zhenfang launched an offensive before they settled down—Zhang Xun's secretary-general, Wan Shengshi, was Lei and Zhang's friend and an opium smoker , Lei and Zhang dragged him to smoke opium all day long, and at the same time instigated restoration, Wan urged him to restore it in Zhang's ear all the time, and said to him: "It has been brewing for a long time, and all parties support it. The opportunity is once in a thousand years, and we should act quickly." !" Zhang Jingyao, the backbone of the Anhui Clan, saw Puyi back in the palace, and said to Zhang Xun: "The emperor's appearance as a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun, this is the real dragon emperor! I wish to follow my father, and work together to help protect the emperor. Qing Cheng Zhongxing career!"

Zhang Xun was in a daze. "That's right, I came to Beijing to help Emperor Baoyou reset, why not?" He casually touched the braid hanging down his back, and finally made up his mind. The news of Zhang Xun's determination to restore came to Tianjin, and Xu Shichang was very disturbed: "This Zhang Shaoxuan..." At this moment, Xu Shichang didn't want to restore the restoration, but he thought more about the consequences.After all, Zhang Xun is his protégé. Xu Shichang has always valued him for his bravery and ability to work hard for others. He wants to use him in a critical moment. "The restoration can be successful, it can be regarded as one action. The day when the restoration is successful is the time when the warrior perishes. Isn't this self-destructive!" Xu Shichang immediately wrote a letter, describing the internal and external situation in detail, and warned him that the objective situation that is not conducive to restoration situation.Finally, he was asked again to "do it carefully and not rashly".In this way, he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him, so he asked Ruan Zhongshu to go to Beijing to persuade Zhang Xun.When Ruan met Zhang Xun, in addition to forwarding Xu's letter, he firmly said to him: "The restoration must be defeated!"

Zhang Xun smiled. "Dougong (Ruan Zhongshu, with the word bold), you were the deputy minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications in the Qing Dynasty, and I will just return you as the minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications in the future. Don't worry too much." Ruan Zhongshu saw that Zhang Xun's determination to restore was unshakable, so he had to sigh and leave, don't return to Tianjin, and replied truthfully to Xu Shichang.Xu Shichang was disappointed, he shook his head and said to himself: "Zhang Shaoxuan, your mind is too simple." Zhang Xun finally realized his "magnificent" plan - the restoration was successful: July 1st.The dragon flag was hoisted in the city of Beijing, and the abdicated Emperor Xuantong ascended the Great Treasure again.On the day of restoration, the little emperor appointed Xu Shichang as the dean of the Bute Academy, and at the same time continued to confer the title of Grand Tutor, and issued a special "Shangyu", slightly saying:

In the senior year of master's degree, public loyalty to the country, Yangli inside and outside, good reputation in Youlong.I started to rejuvenate and revive at the beginning of my age. I learned classics and participated in politics, and I needed virtuous counselors. Yesterday, I decreed to be the dean of Bute Academy.The great scholar has been loyal and loving for a long time, and has been away from me for a long time, so I take care of him very much.Forgiveness is also attached to Yin, and he must follow his orders and act accordingly, and he will follow the Tao at the right time.For the first time, I am honored and honored in the old court, and Yunyi is treated with special courtesy...

And also imitating the ancients "Jun'an car Pulun, the righteousness of honoring the elders and sages", the Ministry of Posts and Communications prepared a special car, and sent a special person to Tianjin to welcome him. Please Xu Shichang "come to Beijing today, take advice day and night, Kuang Bizhen bows, and wears a pair of tired The willingness to relocate and wrestle".The little emperor is really kind enough. Xu Shichang really wanted to put on his clothes and say, thank you Shengen.But, after all, he knew the ending of this farce, not to mention Dean Bute and the Taifu, even if the senior officials asked him to sit, he would not dare to sit on it.But "Long En" had to accept it, so he immediately sent a telegram to express his feelings:

Tianzuo is holy and clear, he is restored to his position, and the group is happy.In the case of veterans, Changsu maintains the country, respects the royal family and is not the master. Fortunately, he is prosperous and eager to show his respect, but he is aging for the rest of his life. It will be hot summer, and the disease will be disturbed. Wait for a while, and then try to teach.It's not an excuse, let's learn from the original. He thanked him for being "old and weak".Here, Xu Shichang stated that "it's not an excuse", but in fact, he didn't ask himself.If there is no excuse, how can there be "wait for a while, and then try to teach"? If he doesn't know the "internal cause" of the restoration of the Anhui section, he is afraid that he will go to Xie En in the morning.

As Xu Shichang expected, Duan Qirui's expression changed within three days after Puyi "ascended the throne" again. He raised the banner of anti-restoration, joined forces with Feng Guozhang, and announced to the world that Zhang Xun's "Eighth Congress" He became the "commander-in-chief of the rebellious army". On July 3, he took an oath in the horse factory near Tianjin and raised his troops in Beijing. As a result, the braided army was defeated. his apartment.Zhang Xun wanted to use the piece of yellow silk signed by Duan Qirui's representative to testify to the world to announce Duan Qirui's "contradictory" to the world. Hand bought it.Zhang Xun shouted angrily, "Fucked!" Li Yuanhong resigned when the small court was restored.Now, the small imperial court was overthrown by Duan Qirui, and the democratic republic was re-established. Duan Qirui became the hero of "reconstructing the republic", became the prime minister again, and took control of the Beiyang government.The once raucous "controversy between government and court" ended with the resignation of President Li Yuanhong-Li Yuanhong never fought against Duan Qirui. Xu Shichang in Tianjin was very happy to see the situation he expected-Xu Shichang could not be unhappy: when Yuan Shikai ruled on his own, he quit politics, showing his detachment; when Zhang Xun was restored, he earnestly warned "Can't do it".For such a major issue, he is able to clean himself up, not stick to it, and so on, which is far beyond the reach of others! Therefore, when commenting on his tact and old way, later generations said: Although Shichang was suspected of being restored, he was able to deal with it well in the future, and he did not stick to it or stagnate. He left room for manoeuvres when he and his personal actions stopped and retreated.It is far from the reach of someone who is named Zhanhuai, who is infatuated with personal fortune and relies on Zhang Xunruo the Great Wall.Xu's prudence is no less serious than a shot, but predicting Zhang Xun's defeat is due to his political experience, and his husband's agility and dexterity. After the re-establishment of the Republic, Acting President Feng Guozhang and State Premier Duan Qirui cordially invited Xu Shichang to participate in politics, but Xu Shichang still declined on the grounds of being "old and infirm".It's not that he doesn't want to go out of the mountain, but he still feels that the timing is not good-after Feng Guozhang became president, he regarded himself as the leader of Beiyang and took full power; The leader's Dharma-protecting military government has launched a massive attack, trying to rule the world by force, and the conflict between Zhizhi and Anhui has gradually become acute.Xu Shichang, who is good at observing facial expressions, puts action in stillness, decides to stay away from right and wrong, and remains above all factions—he returns to Hui County, Henan Province again, to be his "Shuizhu Villager". ．Xu Shichang, who returned to Shuizhu Village, wanted to spend a few days in peace.In these years, although his official career has been ups and downs, his spirit has always been tense. It is rare that he has a piece of leisure, and he can calmly think about his advances and retreats. 62 years old, it is said that it is the age when the sun falls to the west mountain, and there is not much to come, why bother with the turmoil? It is really "starting from today". Xu Shichang, who lived in Shuizhu Village, carefully re-arranged the courtyard and living room, and then went to carefully observe and appreciate the "sound and smile" of this land.When he got to know this place called his hometown with a tired heart, he felt that it was so beautiful that he could not find it anywhere in the world, so he wrote a book with more effort than the palace examination and Hanyuan writing. The article "Shuizhu Village Records" is very wonderful, and it is recorded on the left: The village is three miles southwest of Hui County and six miles northwest of Sumen.Baiquan flows into Qi's fifth branch channel, converging into the ring, high suitable for mulberry, hemp and millet, high suitable for Laimu, summer suitable for rice, and one-year-old reed school; depression suitable for reeds, fish ponds and lotus lakes interlaced, and the land is especially suitable for bamboo.Wei Shi looks at Qi'ao, the vegetables and bamboos are rippling, and the swimming and singing water bamboos are in full bloom, but they are all good at their victories.In addition, it is necessary to open up the canal, build bridges and ponds, and benefit a variety of bamboos, so it is called "Water Bamboo Village".There used to be two west-facing buildings, and the north building has three rooms, which belong to one, surrounded by bamboo on all sides, Yanri bamboo is hidden; the front is a hall, and the title is "Guitian Villa".Whenever the spring bamboo is released from the sheath, there is a rustling sound of falling to the ground, mixed with the top leaves, rustling and shaking the wind, or making a hoarse sound.The clouds in the Taihang River are horizontal to the west, half covering the setting sun, and the green shade is like nothing, and the windows and seats are all full of greenery.The matter of Shaoshuhao follows the bamboo, and the ditches and canals flow under the sluice, and the clang is loud and clear, and the springs are cool and cold, and the springs are flowing in the sky; the new lotus sends fragrance, and the fish come and go. Ears, leisurely meeting with the gods, you don't have to go to the Sumen, and you are close to Baiquan, you already have your own thoughts in Haopu, as the so-called three points of water, two points of bamboo, and one point of house.In the village, farmhouses, cow palaces, maoji rows, taro areas, vegetable gardens, orchards, chutneys, chaitun, well chickens, Tang intestines, orange hats, goose duck fences are also set up separately, water chestnuts, lotus root, fish, Crabs are fresh, mulberry, hemp, cotton, bean, rice, and wheat are rare. Autumn crops are like clouds, and winter warehouses are like combs.Outside the village, on the eastern and northern moors, sticks and shoes come and go, relatives and friends, especially gentle and elegant people, chatting, feasting and traveling, enjoying the morning and evening.In the past, when Fan Xiwen issued a white paper, he said that he was not as happy with the wine as Guifeng, leaning on a tall pine, listening to the flute, and forgetting the world happily. Sacrifice, there is also the freshness of water and bamboo, the mountains and rivers are mellow, the customs are dunpang, and the charm of Confucianism is not yet exhausted, enough to look up and admire the lingering people? I am old, and I have long cherished the ambition to return to farming. Every time I look at the foot of Taihang, I recite the chapters of Qi'ao, and I see that I want to emulate Duke Wu of Wei and learn from each other. The legacy of Confucian lectures, I dare not pretend to be old and live in the fields. Is Xu Shichang really determined to wander among the mountains, rivers and countryside? Sure enough, we have no more articles to write.Xu Shichang took advantage of this excellent leisure place to sit and watch the changes in the current situation, so that he could move forward and retreat freely among various political, economic, and military forces, and enjoy both sides without being restrained by his actual duties.No wonder someone said to him at that time: "Jade is in the dowry for a good price, and the hairpin is in the dowry to wait for time to fly"! Soon, he still returned to Tianjin. Li Yuanhong has resigned, and the Beijing government has been controlled by the Zhi and Wan families.However, a new contradiction arose: Duan Qirui, as a "leader of Beiyang" and a hero of "reconstructing the republic", monopolized power everywhere, and Feng Guozhang, who was sitting in the presidential seat, was just a foil.After Feng became president, the Anhui Department decided to drive him out.The Radical faction in the Anhui faction advocated that the provisional council, that is, Xuan Duan or Xu Shichang (when the contradiction between Zhi and Anhui first emerged, Xu Shichang decided to support Duan Shufeng) as president to eliminate Feng; When it is full, the Congress will elect another election to make Feng step down. Duan Qirui adopted the opinion of the slow progress faction.However, this kind of mutual struggle for power still aroused the disgust of the people of the country, and the generals also opposed this kind of cruelty.Duan Qirui is anxious. The resistance to becoming president is so great. Now that Feng Guozhang is going to be squeezed out, who will take up this big job? Waiting for the term of the president to expire and the Congress to elect another president, the idea of ​​the slow progress faction was put forward by Xu Shuzheng, his "little fan" military adviser.As usual, Duan Qirui always obeyed Xu Shuzheng's opinions. Now, the situation is not good, and he has to ask Xu Shuzheng for advice. Xu Shuzheng also knew that the people of the country were very disgusted with "warlord domineering", so he was unwilling to let a powerful person rule the country, but he was also unwilling to give up the power he had won from Li Yuanhong.After much deliberation, he suggested to choose a substitute from "transcendent" people and let Duan retreat behind the scenes. "That's the only way to keep power from falling apart." "Who is the most suitable?" Duan Qirui asked, frowning. "Of course it's from Xu Ju." Xu Shuzheng said without thinking. Duan Qirui woke up violently. "Yes, only Xu Wu is the most ideal person." But he said again: "What method should I use?" "Through the parliamentary election." Xu Shuzheng said without thinking. As soon as he mentioned the Congress, Duan Qirui frowned again—as early as when Marshal Zhang Xun led his troops northward to Tianjin, he had forced Li Yuanhong to dissolve the Congress, and he agreed to go to Beijing after the Congress was dissolved.In order to alleviate the conflict, Li Yuanhong agreed to this condition and ordered the National Assembly to be dissolved, but he did not know that it just removed the obstacle for Zhang Xun to win the little emperor.Although the little emperor finally resigned, the Congress disbanded by the President Li Yuanhong did not expressly restore it, so Duan Qirui frowned. "There is no Congress anymore." Xu Shuzheng smiled. "It's a good thing to have no Congress, but it's troublesome to have one." "Why?" "Without a Congress, we can reorganize one." Xu Shuzheng said: "Reorganize one according to our ideas. If the original Congress still exists, it cannot be reformed." "Yes!" Duan Qirui was excited. "Then you should hurry up and organize a congress." Duan Qirui knew that he had a lot of talents under his command, and he could organize a government, let alone a congress. Xu Shuzheng took the task of organizing the Congress, so he set up a spacious house in Liang Zhai in Anfu Hutong, Xicheng, Beijing, and invited Guang Yunjin, Liu Zhensheng, Zang Yinsong, Liu Enge and other people to hold a meeting, and then, They selected and determined the members of the two chambers by means of emotional contact and entertainment. It was first called the Anfu Club, and then it was called the Anfu Congress. Although its members were recommended by the county councils and selected by the provincial council, most of them were Buy it for the Anhui Department.The Anfu Hutong organization was successfully contacted, and the first meeting was held in Taiping Lake. Wang Yitang was elected as the speaker of the House of Representatives, and Li Shengduo was elected as the speaker of the Senate. The Congress is in place, the presidential candidate has been decided, and now is the time to act.Therefore, Wang Yitang was ordered to go to Tianjin again - he had to "breathe" with Xu Shichang, so that he had the mental preparation of "getting the big position", otherwise, what should he do if he disagrees? Agree, and there will be no rush at that time it is good.Wang Yitang is very confident. He knows that Xu Shichang will accept this great job. He is happy to be the general of the army and navy, let alone the president.In the early years, if Wang Yitang and Xu Shuzheng hadn't dissuaded him, Xu Shichang would have really become the Grand Admiral of the Army and Navy. When dissuading him, he also used the "president" as the bait, otherwise, Xu Shichang would not have given up. In the Tianjin villa, Xu Shichang has not gone out for many days.On the one hand, he invited several poet friends to talk about poetry and papers, and at the same time, he was enriching and revising his manuscript "Political Strategy of the Three Eastern Provinces".Although the manuscript was finished, there was no time to revise and polish it, not to mention the original writers Wang Shuxiang and Wang Shitong also left him.Now, he is living in Tianjin, and he wants to complete it, but on the other hand, he can't settle down, and counts, Feng Guozhang's term of acting president is also up, and it's time for a new election.How to change the term? There is no hope of electing the president himself? Recently, the news that has spread to Tianjin always makes Xu Shichang feel uneasy. He heard that Feng Guozhang is trying hard to get the position of vice president-acting president; and Duan Qirui, He wanted to use force and the influence of strength to achieve the goal of expelling Feng, but there was very little news about him.Xu Shichang was very afraid, afraid that "two tigers will not lose both when they fight".He knows: no matter who fights to the death, the living will be the "King". At that time, no one will praise him as a "transcendent" and send him to rule. "Why didn't you take the post of Grand Admiral of the Army and Navy first? Now that you have military power, you will have the strength to fight today." With all kinds of things entangled, Xu Shichang didn't bother to come out.People are sullen and mentally exhausted all their lives, and they can’t leave the bed almost every day. The concubine Shen Rong’s heartbeat is so frightened: "Please ask the doctor to come and see, or go to the hospital, what will happen if this continues! Look, even the eyes are lost ." "Don't be afraid, I won't die." Xu Shichang said, "I don't know if I'm sick or not?" When Xu Shichang was restless, someone reported: "Master Wang Yi Tang is visiting." Xu Shichang was surprised: "He is here now..." To be honest, Xu Shichang has long been looking forward to his coming, every day, even in his dreams. Hope, now that Wang Yitang really came, he was startled instead.He didn't know whether Wang Yitang was a magpie or an owl at this time? Sure enough, what he brought was bad news, and Xu Shichang would never have a chance to flourish in his life.But since Wang Yitang arrived, he still had to "please!" "Yitang, you're here." "Is teacher healthy?" Wang Yitang asked first. "Okay." Xu Shichang asked again: "Is there anything urgent?" "It is urgent that I came to see you." "what is the matter?" "Teacher, please come out of the mountain and take up the position." "Ah...?" Xu Shichang was looking forward to this sentence for a long time, and Wang Yitang said it, but he felt confused instead! "I'm afraid it is a distant dream?" "No, sir, it's true." "What's the law?" "Of course it's the congressional election." "Parliament?" Xu Shichang panicked even more. "Wasn't that already ordered by Huangpi to disband? Wang Yitang explained to Xu Shichang in detail what happened in Beijing, especially what happened in Anfu Hutong, and then said: "At present, it can be said that everything is in place. , just wait for the teacher to come out of the mountain. " "Me?" Xu Shichang pretended to be surprised. "Teacher is the only person who can take on great responsibilities." Wang Yitang said: "We all hope that Teacher can put the country's affairs first and not disappoint the people of the country." Wang Yitang spoke sincerely, and Xu Shichang heard the truth, but he remained silent--in the past, Xu Shichang had many dreams, but they were all "big" dreams, but when he woke up, only Unlimited melancholy.Now, it's not a dream anymore, the president of the Senate said it himself and invited him in person, of course it's absolutely true, so he doesn't have to feel sad.There is no need to fight for this "big" position, but it is delivered to your door, you only need to accept it. Xu Shichang originally wanted to pack up and set off immediately, and he would be "big" when he went to Beijing.However, Xu Shichang is a person who has read the books of "sages and sages", and he would not do anything wrong! Therefore, he still smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about such a heavy responsibility!" "Teachers don't need to be overly humble." Wang Yitang said: "The students have already made arrangements for the affairs of the Congress. As soon as the meeting opens, everything will be completed. The teacher only needs to be in place." At this moment, Xu Shichang suddenly Thinking of the extraordinary meeting of the Congress held by Mr. Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou, he said: "I heard that Guangzhou has held a congress. Do you have any explanation?" "Guangzhou?" Wang Yitang shook his head: "Living in a corner is not representative. At that time, Beijing only needs to issue a statement stating that it does not recognize it, and it will be over." Xu Shichang's mood gradually calmed down, and he was naturally very happy to see the great position.While arranging for people to prepare a feast for Wang Yitang, he said: "Thanks to the love of all parties and everyone, I have to obey. But, let me think about it again, and then I will tell you to obey." "The teacher just needs to agree." Wang Yitang said: "There is no need to go to Beijing for the time being. When we Wang Yitang returns to Beijing, Xu Shichang will really get flustered. How should the landlord behave? In the past, he bowed his buttocks to worship the Aixinjueluo family. He could only do kneeling and bowing. , let alone appreciate that self-esteem. Now, it’s time for him to accept the worship of the world, but he feels at a loss, and he doesn’t know how to behave. Besides, it’s a republic and a democracy, and everything is new—what’s so new? How new? He didn't know. At this moment, he suddenly regretted one thing: "If I followed the five ministers to study abroad, I would have learned some democratic methods in Western countries. A riot, I lost the opportunity. "Xu Shichang still found his younger brothers in Tianjin and shared the joy of "ascending to the throne" with them. At the same time, he also asked them to help design a "posture" for the throne. Unexpectedly, all his younger brothers, no one One person has the "talent" in this area, and he shook his hands and head in anger: "You all go, go!" How should the president be? Xu Shichang has not had time to think about it; how is he anxious to be the president? In other words, how to make a good "first impression" on people.As soon as he goes out, it makes people feel disgusted, so how can he "rule the world" in the future? The first thing he thinks of is the Congress, that is, the group of congressmen. "We should give them a good impression first." After much deliberation, he finally came up with a solution: he Take a standard photo and inscribe it yourself. After the congressional election, each person will give one to show gratitude and friendship.He found out the tuxedo he hadn't worn for a long time, prepared another top hat, carried a cane, looked around in the mirror, and was finally satisfied.Then, invite a photographer from one of the most prestigious photo studios in Tianjin to do this for him, and give him a generous gift. The titled photo was ready, but he still felt that it was not good enough, and he felt that doing that "wouldn't show the presidential demeanor", so he was bored in the room again, and tried his best to write a modest "thank you" letter, explaining that he was "old and weak" , Depth can be fresh", can't take on such a big responsibility, dare not take a high position, please forgive me, etc.Xu Shichang was a member of the Imperial Academy, so he is still familiar with the articles. "Thanks" was written, and I read it twice. I felt very emotional, and the wording was very decent.Xu Shichang is very satisfied with this article. "It must give people a noble feeling!" He put the article down and washed his face with cold water again. He wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good rest—he was tired.Before hearing the news, he was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well, for fear that Tengda would be hopeless and he would grow old as a hero; heart orifice.Besides, there are very few times when I write articles by myself.In the Hanlin Academy, there are many Hanlins, and he is "one of the eight blacks". Even if there is a task, the scholars will assign a master, "one of the eight reds"; it will be his turn.From the beginning of Xiaozhan's military training, it was mainly martial arts, and no one cared about "the person". His knowledge, whether oral or clerical, can always be prevaricated, and he is still considered "excellent".Since becoming a minister and governor, there is no need to write by yourself, there are copywriters and secretaries.As the saying goes, "Ten years of talent are like Bai Ding!" After a long time without writing, how can he not feel the weight of the pen again! To tell the truth, a "thank you" is almost equivalent to his answer during the Bingwu examination. All the test papers, a few towels were wet with sweat! However, when Xu Shichang lay down on the bed and fell asleep, he suddenly sat up again, as if he had woken up. He felt that he had done something wrong: "In case someone manipulates and accepts my resignation, I will only give you an honorary position." What should I do?" No, he has to revise his speech again, and let everyone feel that "I am just a kind of humility, a kind of gratitude with a different vocabulary, and I still want to be the president." The "satisfactory" manuscripts were spread out and revised according to new ideas. "Thanks" has been revised.Since thanking resignation is a tone of "thank you" but not saying goodbye, then, in addition to "thank you", there must be a "declaration for enthronement" anyway! Xu Shichang is really a "considerate" person.Yes, the big president is on stage, how can there be no "declaration"!In the past, not to mention the position of secretary of state, even the position of governor, you only need to wink and someone will do it for you.It is not possible now, he ascended to the high position on the basis of ordinary people, without any civil or military assistance, and he cannot wait.So, like writing "thank you", he had no choice but to lie down on the table, and then crawled "Zhizhe Ye" stroke by stroke...
