Chapter 19 Chapter Twenty-Five

After returning from overseas, Xu Shuzheng has been in a hurry to socialize.He originally wanted to rest for a few days, but it was impossible.As a result, after he sent Sun Chuanfang away, he suddenly felt his head was heavy, his whole body was tired and weak, and his eyes were hard to open.He walked into the bedroom alone, lay down gently on the bed, and wanted to have a sweet sleep. It's time for him to recuperate and rest, he's too tired.Whether in his own country or in a foreign country, during this period of time, he could not get rid of the troubles and problems that lingered in his heart.He is always running on overload.It seems that he is carrying the heavy responsibility of the whole country and nation on his shoulders: the emperor can't do it, and the president can't do it either.Only he, Xu Shuzheng, can hold up this world that is about to sink! He thought about it calmly, this is not the case at all. "I, Xu Shuzheng, am not just Xu Shuzheng. Me, the earth keeps turning, and the sun and the moon keep reincarnating." He closed his eyes, wanting to sleep for a long time. "Sleep, sleep as long as you can, the world and time here are all mine." Xu Shuzheng closed his eyes, but he still couldn't calm down.When many things appeared and disappeared in my mind like a revolving lantern, only Sun Chuanfang and the things that this person came to talk about suddenly followed behind me like a shadow, and I couldn't get rid of it. "What exactly did Sun Chuanfang ask me for? Is it really to invite Zhang Jian out of the mountain? Sure enough, the old man is willing to come out of the mountain. Then, what will Boss Duan do? He is willing to go away? If he doesn't want to let the ruling power, it will be even more difficult to get off... ..." Xu Shuzheng couldn't lie down any longer, he rolled over and sat up, tightly knitting his thick eyebrows.Quan, the temptation of this thing is so great, many people fought for it and lost their lives; many people would lose their lives to protect it! It is so easy to give him the right that he got, and there are few people who are so generous.Xu Shuzheng thinks that Duan Qirui won't either.When he was in Japan, Duan Qirui gave him a long letter, talking about many difficulties encountered in "governing power", talking about his own discouragement, and repeatedly stating that he "does not want to be greedy for politics anymore , State affairs are too hurtful."However, that was just a letter.Maybe it was just a whim, an impulsive move.Xu Shuzheng couldn't believe the letter completely.Now, when he encountered a specific problem that needed to be solved, how much he hoped that this letter was from Duan Qirui's heart. "Sure enough, if that's the case, Hefei can be considered a hero if he can retreat bravely!"

In the middle of the night, Xu Shuzheng sent Duan Qirui a long and important telegram.On the one hand, he told him that he "has returned to Shanghai, and after a short rest, he will go north to pay a visit to the Jin Dynasty";Duan Qirui, who has become the governing government, is not living well.There are quite a lot of obstacles in the governance of the government.He knew it in his own mind: the "big position" was not achieved by his own efforts.Cao Kun was kicked out by Feng Zhang and Feng Yuxiang. Normally, either Zhang Zuolin or Feng Yuxiang would be in power. How could it be Duan Qirui's turn? Besides, he was beaten to no avail by Zhi Cao.So let him come out, one is because Zhang Zuolin is not the old Beiyang, and I am afraid he will not be able to hold his ground; the other is that Feng Yuxiang has little ambition and does not want to take charge of the big politics, so Duan Qirui was pushed up.In fact, the name of this "ruling" is neither fish nor fowl.The president is the president, and the prime minister is the prime minister. What is governing? What can be done? Now it is a democratic republic, and the president has to be elected.Regardless of how much money Cao Kun paid, he has votes, and being president is justified; only such a legitimate president can appoint someone to form a cabinet and become prime minister.Now, after electoral bribery, Congress basically does not exist. Who will elect? If there is no election, there will be no legal president. The government can only be regarded as a transitional and hypothetical government. Duan Qirui naturally understands what he is doing in this position. .

When Duan Qirui took office, he once said something like this: "Nowadays, the state affairs are chaotic and the overall situation is in danger. We who have been in politics for many years. We have always taken the world as our own responsibility. How can we protect ourselves wisely? Therefore, I had to come out to defend myself. The country contributes something." This is a self-comforting sentence.It makes sense. What does Zhang Zuolin say? He said: "Lao Duan is an old-fashioned character, and he can't be overwhelmed when he is carried out. Don't talk about me and Wu Peifu, it is Yan Lao Er (Yan Xishan, Shanxi). Although there is one teacher Duan a day", how can he follow the teacher's words? Do it!" This is a passage from the heart, which shows that he does not support "Hefei".

Zhang Zuolin's words reached Duan Qirui's ears, and he fainted.Tilting his nose and yelling: "What's wrong with me, Duan Zhiquan? It's not because I'm playing around, Feng Yuxiang will kill the carbine? I want to defeat your Fengjun, but I still have strength." Duan Qirui's greatest hope is that Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary army "can go north as soon as possible and win every victory."Mr. Sun's northward journey has been delayed.Duan Qirui became sad, he became silent, closed the door to thank guests all day long, his head was downcast, and his nose was always crooked.The people around him also intentionally hid - everyone knows his temper, he loves to scold people when his nose is crooked, who wants to seek scolding.Only his wife Zhang Peiheng and second concubine Taibian walked around him from time to time, chattering a few words from time to time:

"I didn't want you to come out at the beginning, it would be nice to spend a few days in Tianjin quietly." Zhang Peiheng said with a sigh. "It's difficult!" Duan Qirui replied. "How many days can you live comfortably without coming out? You haven't seen it, everyone is fighting for hegemony. It's not good to be controlled by others." "You shouldn't have let him go abroad. He is here, and you have an arm." "Why do you do what others don't like. Let him go. One day, he will help me." At this moment, Duan Qirui received Xu Shuzheng's telegram.Sixty-year-old Duan Qirui hurriedly put on his reading glasses, read the telegram...

Duan Qirui frowned again: "Xu Shuzheng wants to invite Zhang Jian. This invitation..." He started to pace. Duan Qirui admired Zhang Jian.adore his knowledge.Worship his character.He believes that such talents are the pillars of the country.However, Duan Qirui felt a little heavy in his heart if he was asked to come out to take up the big job--"Can Mr. Zhang Ji take on this burden?" Although Duan Qirui and Zhang Jian didn't have a close relationship, they had a good impression of him.most memorable.It's about Zhang Jian's "hanging crown" leaving Beijing--

When Yuan Shikai was president, Zhang Jian served as the chief minister of agriculture, forestry, industry and commerce and water conservancy in Xiong Xiling's cabinet.Yuan Shikai was not "addicted" to being the president, and he wanted to be the emperor.There were many discussions in the ruling and opposition parties.Zhang Jian went to see Yuan Shikai and advised him "don't talk about proclaiming himself emperor".Yuan Shikai was very impatient, thinking about his status as the No. 1 scholar and an important member of the cabinet, he never got angry, so he gave him a few cold eyes and kicked him out.Afterwards, Duan Qirui was sent to say "good things" against his will, and finally said: "Mr. Ji, we still agree with him to do this. If he is unpopular, someone will rise up to overthrow him in the future. Besides, he has worked with us for many years and made troubles. It's not good if it's overturned."

Zhang Jian stroked his beard and said, "Proclaiming the emperor will never win people's hearts! If someone overthrows him in the future, it would be better for us to be the leader of someone today and stop him. A lot of disasters will be avoided!" "Xiang Cheng is self-willed, his determination has been made, and I think it cannot be reversed." "If that's the case, I will hang up the crown first and leave!" "Is that good?" "What's wrong?" Zhang Jian said angrily, "The emperor has long been cast aside by the people of the country, so why should we attach ourselves to leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years!"

Yuan Shikai really became the emperor, and Zhang Jian really took the crown and returned home. After Yuan Shikai became emperor, he wanted to win over cronies and buy people's hearts, so he named Zhang Jian, Xu Shichang, Zhao Erxun, and Li Jingyi the "Four Friends of Songshan Mountain" in the name of the emperor, saying that they were "like Songshan Mountain, a giant dragon lying on the ground. ".At the same time, he showed that he would sincerely worship his "highest" mountain like Qin Shihuang after the unification of China! However, Zhang Jian closed the door and thanked him behind closed doors, and the "imperial envoy" sent by the emperor never even drank a glass of water.Regarding this matter, Duan Qirui lamented, but had to admit that he was a real gentleman.If such a person can come out to govern, it must be a blessing to the country and the people! After much deliberation, Duan Qirui felt that Xu Shuzheng's opinion could be accepted—although reluctantly, there was no other way.So, he seriously replied a telegram of "approval" to Xu Shuzheng, and entrusted him to "greetings to Zhang Jilao".Xu Shuzheng smiled calmly when he received the call back.

December 15, 1925. A new type of dark blue car, escorted by an open medium-sized jeep, drove out of Shanghai and headed for Nantong along the Shanghai-Tongtong Highway. In the Yangtze River Delta, the cold wind is blowing, the wilderness is covered with a layer of frost, the earth is withered, and it is a desolate scene.The sparse villages on both sides of the road also look deserted. Except for a few bamboo forests beside the houses, which are still green and green, the trees have lost their leaves, the flowers and plants have decayed, and the whole earth seems to have fallen asleep. Xu Shuzheng, who was sitting on the soft sofa in the back of the car, was wearing a melton suit, a red tie, a Russian velvet cap on his head, and a black woolen coat with fox fur, looking like a big bureaucrat .However, his complexion was as sallow as the withered earth.He closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.Sitting next to Xu Shuzheng was Sun Chuanfang, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces.In comparison, Commander-in-Chief Sun looked very chic: he was in full uniform, with a red face, a military cap in his hand, and kept looking out of the window.However, his mood was a little disturbed--

"It's getting cold." Sun Chuanfang said, looking at Da Da. "It's cold." Xu Shuzheng repeated dumbly. "It's no warmer than my hometown, Licheng." "It's on par with my hometown, Xuzhou." Obviously, they have nothing to say.When it was over, there was silence. Xu Shuzheng is relatively quiet at the moment: the trip to Nantong is successful, he can live in Hefei, the people of the country, and Zhang Jizhi, maybe because of his meritorious service in "guaranteeing", he will rise to the top again; if it fails, Hefei will still be in charge of Hefei In politics, Zhang Jian still runs his business, and Xu Shuzheng still thinks about what he should think about and does what he should do.There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this trip. Although Sun Chuanfang has a chic expression, his heart is not calm.Inviting Zhang Jian to take charge of the major affairs seems to be out of impulse and whim.Now that the trip has really happened, he has worries again: he is afraid that Zhang Jian will really come out, "If he comes out to take on a big responsibility, and the people of the country know that I, Sun Xinyuan, invited him, he will be accused of overthrowing Hefei!" What happened in the past It can be put aside, after "Hefei" took office, he still treated Sun Chuanfang generously, this should not be forgotten-- Duan Qirui still had quite a few backbone members of the Anhui Clan. As soon as the executive government was established, the Ministry of War decided to send Chu Bupu and Xu Kun to lead the troops south.Everyone knows the purpose of going south, which is to avenge Sun Chuanfang's revenge for taking Lu Yongxiang to Zhejiang.Chu and Xu were ready to go, Duan Qirui hesitated. "Put on the southern expedition. The war has been going on for a long time, the soldiers are exhausted and the people are withered, and the people feel at ease. It's time to recuperate." Duan Qirui said, the southward army was suspended, and Sun Chuanfang was saved from a disaster.Sun Chuanfang was naturally grateful to Duan Qirui, not to mention that the Southern Revolutionary Party was about to go north, and Sun Chuanfang was the first to bear the brunt.At that time, "Hefei" will have to support him...Thinking of so many things, Sun Chuanfang was in a panic.In the end, he wanted to be like Xu Shuzheng, closing his eyes for a while to rest his mind, but his heart couldn't calm down no matter what. While driving, Xu Shuzheng was already snoring softly, while Sun Chuanfang became irritable. "I have to shake off the strength of my little fan!" He nudged Xu Shuzheng lightly with his elbow, and when he saw Xu Shuzheng woke up, he said, "Youzheng, I always feel that the world is too chaotic. The northeast is Zhang Zuolin's world, and Beijing and Tianjin are Feng Yuxiang's." So, although I have the five provinces of the Yangtze River, it is actually a fake. Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunchuan have their own masters. This situation is not easy to handle!" "When things are divided for a long time, they will be united, and when they are united for a long time, they will be divided. This is history." Xu Shuzheng said, "Someone will gather them." "Except for Hefei, I'm afraid no one can take care of it!" Xu Shuzheng was stunned: "Sun Chuanfang was worried the day before yesterday that Hefei would not be able to play well, so why is he flattering again today? People say that Sun Xin is far away from Qin Muchu, which seems to be reasonable." So he said: "As long as Zhang Jilao comes out of the mountain, the Lord The government is much more appropriate than Hefei." Zhang Jian opened the door and welcomed Xu Shuzheng and Sun Chuanfang into the living room. --Zhuangyuan Mansion, this is an unusual villa: a tall gatehouse, a garland carved on the lintel, a stone lion squatting under the gate, a large square boulder outside the gate, and a tall flagpole erected in the center of the stone.The screen wall at the entrance is painted light red, surrounded by brick carvings of birds and animals.The courtyard is deep and well configured.What Xu Shuzheng and Sun Chuanfang were led into was a quiet and luxurious living room: two small doors, very unique, with rosewood as the pattern, Xiangfei bamboo slanted nails, natural and interesting, although there is no couplet, it looks elegant.The interior is bright, the walls unadorned and clean.The flower "Drunk Concubine Yang" by Zhang Ling, a famous artist, hangs alone in the middle hall.Xu Shuzheng stood in the hall, watching carefully, not as much as him. While ordering someone to serve him with fragrant tea, Zhang Jian began to greet Xu Shuzheng, "You are a famous general in the army, why did you become interested in Danqing again?!" "Famous calligraphers, how dare you pass your eyes!" Xu Shuzheng still couldn't take his eyes off it. "You also admire this Zhang Linggong?" "Tomorrow everyone, we are fellow Jiangsu fellows with you, so naturally we respect you." "That's great." Zhang Jian said: "In the early years, a man from Shanghai visited in the same year and brought him a gift. It is said that it is a family treasure, so please don't treat it like that. In fact, apart from Zhang Ling, who is a Ming person", I am really a widow. Smell; I can't even name Zichou.Just in time to ask you for advice. "" Youzheng has always regarded Mr. Ji as his teacher, so how dare he play tricks. " "This is inappropriate." Zhang Jian said: "Even as a teacher, I dare not say that I know everything. For example, calligraphy and painting, I only have a half-knowledge, and I don't even understand half-knowledge. What's more, there are many famous masters in China. Even more ignorant." "Since Mr. Ji is so modest, he has no choice but to say nonsense: This painting is naturally like a treasure. It is generous and majestic, but it does not lose its beauty. The reason why this flower is called "Drunk Concubine Yang" is because it is a camellia. One, probably because of the pink flower color, which looks like a beautiful woman. "Quanfangpu" said that it has single leaves, flowers bloom early, and is pink. "School of Miscellaneous Vegetables" said that it bloomed at the same time as Bailing. In fact, it is not accurate , that just refers to the drunken concubine Yang among ordinary camellias. What Zhang Linggong painted is the camellia that blooms in early winter, also known as "Yang Guifei", which is a special product among camellias. Ji Laodong hangs this frame in winter, which is exactly the Fang family's move .I just confuse the students with the heart of answering the paper in front of the teacher, and I hope the teacher will comment." Zhang Jian laughed! "I have never heard of what you said, but after hearing it, my eyes are wide open, and I hope I can introduce a thing or two to Zhang Linggong." "Student is taking the liberty." Xu Shuzheng said: "This is Zhang Linggong, a native of Wu County, whose name is Mengjin. , Flowers and birds. I think it is true. Because this Mr. Zhang is Tang Yin's neighbor, he is like-minded and talented, and he has deep love for peppers, so calligraphy is extremely precious..." Sun Chuanfang was a layman, so he was tired of listening to it, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Why do you start talking about painting as soon as you enter the door? My stomach is growling, I want to fill up something!" "Okay, okay." Zhang Jian said, "Take a seat, both of you, and treat yourself to dinner immediately!" Zhang Jian is a weather-beaten person, and he is currently writing "Comments on the Reform" and "Zhang Jizi Jilu"), which are all commenting on the way of governance.What are Xu and Sun doing here? He guessed eighty-nine points.I thought to myself: "Sun Chuanfang is easy to dismiss. Once he talks about the interests of losing power, he will withdraw the idea of ​​surrendering power and walk away with a smile; but Xu Shuzheng is not so easy to dismiss. He is far-sighted and cautious. A confidant, a genius in today's China. It can be said that a person who prospers the country with one word, and loses the country with one word, has to treat him tactfully. Zhang Jian knows that Xu Shuzheng has a hobby. He is used to going in and out of the pear garden. He is a master of poetry and melody. Decided to "govern one's thoughts based on one's own goodness". While arranging a feast, someone went to the garden to invite Youhong, a famous Nankun artist from Shanghai, who performed here, and secretly performed for her. Set up a few tunes for her to enjoy at the banquet. "You two are very busy people, so it's rare to come here. We don't talk about other things today, and I don't have any good food or wine, so I have to drink with music. But you must get drunk!" The three sat down, and the waiter poured wine.Zhang Jian said to the waiter, "Quickly invite the famous Kun Youhong from the south of the Yangtze River to come out to cheer you up." A graceful girl arrives slowly.A Wanfu ceremony was given to each person, and there were people to accompany them on the flute, flute and bamboo.She turned her body slightly, and sang a song "Linjiang Immortals, Climbing the Small Pavilion at Night to Recall the Old Travels in Luozhong" by Chen Yuyi, a Song Dynasty native. Recalling that drinking on the Wuqiao Bridge in the past, most of them are heroes.The long ditch is silent.In the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, play the flute until dawn. It has been like a dream for more than ten years, although this body is shocking.Leisurely board the small pavilion to see Xinqing.How many things have happened in ancient and modern times, I sing the third watch Sun Chuanfang was naturally dull and boring, he just picked up the wine and poured it down. Xu Shuzheng was in a different mood.He smiled, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "Mr. Zhang Ji has arrangements?! Today's banquet started, and the election gave this song, which made people feel that the world is infinitely difficult and painful. Everything can only be looked back, infinitely disappointed The past is so unbearable, so I can only go to the small pavilion to see Xinqing?!" He didn't believe it, he wanted to test it out. "Ji Lao is very kind, but also full of beautiful songs. In the past, I also like to imitate in my spare time. Today, I want to show my ugly face in front of Ji Lao and famous people, which is also a little reward!" Zhang Jian stroked his beautiful beard and smiled. "Youzheng is today's romantic talent. He is naturally profound about the songs of Beijing and Kunming. If you ask for it, you are afraid of not being able to ask for it. How dare you miss the opportunity." As he said, he was busy with musicians to accompany him.Xu Shuzheng clapped his hands and sang a song "Wave Washing the Sand": Yilu and Lu Weng, who have been through the poor.One is a fisherman and the other is a farming servant.If you don't meet at that time, you will be an old hero. When Tang Wu meets by chance, the wind, the tiger, and the cloud are like dragons.King Xing was only joking.Until now, thousands of years later, who will compete for success? When Xu Shuzheng sang, Sun Chuanfang was a little anxious.Holding the wine glass, he gestured to Xu Shuzheng several times.He thought to himself: "We are here to mobilize Zhang Jizhi to go out of the mountain, and there is still a big job that needs to be taken care of by him. Why are you in the mood to sing endlessly?" He looked at Zhang Jian again, and the old man was also very interested. "Why is this? Could it be that an industrialist is also particularly keen on the song?" He winked at Xu Shuzheng, then turned his gaze to Zhang Jian. Xu Shuzheng expressed understanding with his gaze, then turned to look at Zhang Jian, who was also frowning— Seventy-two-year-old Zhang Jian is too disheartened about today's society.He didn't want to be with those mediocre "heroes" anymore, dawdling in this messy land, and it's been nearly ten years since he "hanged the crown" and left Beijing.In the past ten years, China's national conditions have continued to decline.A few days earlier, he had firmly thought: Yuan Shikai is certainly not a thing, but is Li Yuanhong a thing? Are Xu Shichang and Feng Guozhang a thing? Cao Kun set the precedent of buying the president with money, which is not a thing in itself; How much better? Zhang Jian wanted to use a subtle method to distract Xu Shuzheng's energy while playing and singing, so as not to start a war of words with him.Unexpectedly, Xu Shuzheng was so smart that he also clearly proposed to him the matter of "coming out of the mountain" through singing. "Xu Shuzheng compared me to Yi Yin and Lu Shang, and he wanted me to be a king of Xing. He only joked that Yi Yin and Lu Shang had gone far away after all. At that time, a wise master appeared and dared to talk about prosperity and death. When is it now? Without King Tang of Shang and King Wen of Zhou, how dare I compare myself to Yi and Lu. If you want to pull me out by praising them, I won’t do it. I also don’t want to take advantage of your current situation and opportunity Go ride the wind and waves!" Zhang Jian waved to the little Dan.Xiao Dan came over.Zhang Jian clung to her ear and whispered a few words.That Xiaodan smiled, and then said: "Two generals. I have one more song to present to you. Please give me advice after listening to it." After finishing speaking, he sang again: The building leans against the spring river with a height of a hundred feet, and the radius has not yet been seen in the smoke. When did it believe that it was like a river tide? The flowers are flying and the wind is playing butterflies, and the willows are shaded by the horizontal bridge. The length of the eyes is only one hundred years old. Xu Shuzheng listened, and first smiled at Xiaodan, as if explaining to her, "You are so smart!" Then he turned to look at Zhang Jian, and murmured in his heart, "Why did the old man move out Zhang Ziye? Did the song "Huanxisha" really express the truth?" A clear attitude?" He frowned slightly, and fell into the artistic conception of "seeing but not seeing" and "thinking but not seeing". "Don't the old man really want to be president?" Just when Xu Shuzheng was thinking, Sun Chuanfang grinned and said: "Stop singing, I'm a little sleepy." "It's easy." Zhang Jian said, let You Hong toast you a glass of wine.Then you also ask her to sing a song for you, how about it?" "I can only dispatch troops and generals to seize territory. I really don't know what to do with this little girl." Sun Chuanfang said, "Let's skip ordering music. If you can have a glass of wine with me, you will be satisfied." Youhong picked up the wine glass, came to Sun Chuanfang, raised her hands, and said, "May the general be happy and healthy, and that he will have great ambitions and all the best!" Sun Chuanfang took the wine and drank it up on his back, then said: "Thank you, little boy! Thank you Zhang Jilao!" Zhang Jian said: "Since the two generals came together, we can't favor one over the other. You Hong, please sing a song for General Sun." "General, please make a proposition." You Hong said. "Proposition?" Sun Chuanfang said: "I don't want to die. Don't make things difficult for you. If you have to sing, you can just pick what you know well." Youhong gently opened her vermilion lips, and sang another song "Bodhisattva Man"--"Everyone's heart says Jiangnan is good, but tourists only like Jiangnan old..." After the wine, music, and meal were over, they walked into the study side by side, and someone offered fragrant tea.At this moment, Sun Chuanfang couldn't bear it anymore, holding his teacup, he talked about Zhang Jian's visit to Hangzhou not long ago.Zhang Jian said with a smile: "in the chaotic China, everyone says it is for the people of Li, but all the people of Li suffer from them. In this world, it is really enough for the general to have a "Handbook for Entering Zhejiang" Valuable." Sun Chuanfang heard it clearly, and Zhang Jian excluded him from those who harmed the Li people.He is very happy.But he still said modestly: "I was also born and raised by Limin, how could I forget my parents who gave birth to me! Besides..." He originally wanted to say, "If I don't have this book, Zhejiang can't survive; without Zhejiang, How can there be today's five provinces." The words came out of my mouth, but I took them back again--Sun Chuanfang's roughness and finesse. Zhang Jian immediately shook his head.Said: "China is too big. Only Zhejiang has a manual, how can it work? Besides, the general's good intentions are not fully understood by the department." Sun Chuanfang was stunned. "Why? Is that manual just for show?" He wanted to argue a few words, but felt that there were indeed many subordinates who did not follow the "manual". If the old man presented three or two facts, it would be even more embarrassing.So, he still said: "I understand, I understand. No, there is no battle to be fought, and I must pay close attention to discipline!" Zhang Jian smiled and nodded. Sun Chuanfang said again: "Mr. Zhang Ji, do you know what I and Youzheng are here for?" Zhang Jian was still smiling.But Xu Shuzheng spoke impatiently: "Mr. Ji, I have heard for a long time that your poetry skills are very strong. Recently, I was lucky to see the calligraphy you gave to Mr. Mei Lanfang at a friend. The poems and books are all excellent! Why don't you also give it to me? i_frame." Zhang Jian understood Xu Shuzheng's intention, he wanted to change the topic so as not to talk about the problem directly.Zhang Jian also wanted to tactfully express his determination to be refined, so he said: "Since the general loves you so much, this old man will make a fool of himself." Then, he ordered someone to spread the paper and grind the ink. : The general sang Dajiangdong, the two heroes of Qi and Meilangjiao.Knowing the meaning of rigidity and softness, Ping Zhangxiu asked the old village man. Signed, printed, and then posted on the wall. Xu Shuzheng stood by the wall, admiring the calligraphy and poems.Zhang Jian's running script is very old and vigorous;When he commented on the poetry again, he took a deep breath. "The old man praised that my singing can be compared to Mei Lanfang, but he said that the country should not be asked about state affairs." "Elder Ji is determined to go above and beyond, and we can't help it. It's just a difficult national matter, but no one can take care of it. The people of the country will only look up to the sky and sigh!" Zhang Jian also said frankly: "In the past twenty years, the country's affairs have been bad, and the people of the country lament. Those who claim to be kings and landlords are all for power and profit. When will they put all their efforts on turning the tide and putting an end to the fire? ! It’s not that I insist on blocking the two of you, it’s my unspeakable suffering: they are all trying to rule the roost, and they all want to be hegemony. Even if I provoke a big responsibility, how much can I exercise totalitarian power? Let the people sigh together!" Although Xu Shuzheng nodded frequently, he still said: "When chaos lasts for a long time, it will be cured. This is the same as long-term division must be united. In such a huge China, the civilization has flourished for thousands of years, and there is not even a capable person? When the right time comes, the people of the country still I hope that Ji Lao can come out and take charge of the government." "The national strength is too weak!" Zhang Jian said: "The country is poor and the people are poor, so civilization can't take care of much. Therefore, I think that in my lifetime, I will devote all my efforts to revitalize China's industry. Only by enriching the people and strengthening the army can there be prosperity. " Sun Chuanfang also sighed. "Zhang Ji is always a tall man, and sees farther than mediocre people like us. I hope China will prosper soon." When the two cars returned along the way they came from, Sun Chuanfang said to Xu Shuzheng with a heavy heart: "The national affairs are difficult! Please also have an interview with Hefei for a long-term plan." Xu Shuzheng sighed softly and said, "I'm going north soon!"
