Volume E Chapter 79 Gate Valve 2
Yang Rui's premonition was indeed correct. On the fourth day after he said that to Cai Yuanpei, the navy collectively boycotted the US admiral to take office; on the fifth day, the teachers and students of Mawei Naval Academy, Tianjin Naval Academy, Nanjing Naval Academy, Weihai Naval Academy, Yantai Naval School, Hubei Naval School collectively strike, protesting the General Staff Department's dismissal of the faculty of the vocational school without reason and changing courses; on the sixth day, the two bureaus of Tianjin Machinery Bureau and Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau
Staff strike; on the eighth day, British Minister Zhu Erdian sent a note to the Provisional Government, expressing his great concern about the case of Wu Yangzeng and Zhang Hongzhao leaking; on the ninth day, Wu Tingfang, one of the top officials, proposed to resign in protest of Wu Yangzeng's case, but was then dismissed by Shen Jiaben; on the tenth day, many students from the Jingshi University, Beiyang University, and Tangshan Road Mine School petitioned, and a group of people surrounded Yang Rui in the Dali Temple - in the case of Han Yuxiu, he happened to appear in court as a defendant.
The Peking University has a major in geology, but only a few students; Beiyang University also has a major in mining affairs, but not many, only a dozen people; Tangshan Road and Mining School mainly consists of railways, posts and telecommunications majors, and more than 20 people studying mining affairs. But it was said that there were hundreds of students outside petitions, and Yang Rui suddenly understood why Li Hongzhang said that he was just a papermaker. This country can only paper, because if not, you will offend many people and be surrounded by them.
Li Zilong, who was in charge of the escort, came back after going out and said, "Prime Minister, the garrison headquarters has gone to mobilize the army..."
As soon as he spoke, Yang Rui was displeased, "Who did it? Retreat. I want to see what's scary about these people!" After that, he went out without regard to the obstacles. Seeing this, Li Zilong had to take the people to follow him closely.
When Yang Rui went out and saw the banners put on by the students, he suddenly felt that the petition was prepared. It was not written on the bed sheet, but made of red cloth. It was extremely dazzling in the crowd.
Dali Temple is the only Western-style three-story marble building with bell tower in the Qing Dynasty government office. It is Renaissance style. It is made in a horizontal "Shi" character. It is tall and looks extremely magnificent. Later generations have built the Great Hall of the People. Therefore, Yang Rui only saw it in this era. When he walked out of Dali Temple and walked down the steps, the students standing outside the walls of Dali Temple rushed over the bailiffs and blocked him. In front of them, not only Zhang Xiangwen, who had been asking for love some time ago, but also reporters from various newspapers, but also foreign teachers from the University of Kyoshi University - a few Japanese. Although there are very few Japanese employed now, the traces of the University of Kyoshi University were basically referenced to the Japanese university when it was first established.
"Prime Minister Zhang Xiangwen, Cao Min, petitioning the adult on behalf of the Beijing University Hall, Beiyang University Hall, Tangshan Road Mine School, and Nanjing Road Mine School. Mr. Wu is a senior in the geology world, while Mr. Zhang Yanqun is a rookie in the geology world. These two people violated the national law because of their confusion in their work. I hope the Prime Minister can make an appointment and revoke the public prosecution."
Zhang Xiangwen is the president of the Chinese Local Society. In 1900, he was teaching at Nanyang Public School. He was both old acquaintances with Zhang Taiyan and Cai Yuanpei. Even Bai Yayu, the Tianjin headquarters of the Revival Society, often said that he was helpful to the revolution, but he was just such a person. Today, he stood opposite him and petitioned him. Yang Rui's heart was filled with Zhang Xiangwen's past and took his petition. Although he did not open it, he still smelled the fishy smell. The words on it were written in blood.
"Mr. Zhang, I will ask someone to pass this petition to Lord Shen Jiaben." Yang Rui did not want to express too much to the petitioners. There was nothing to talk about these mindless cannon fodders. He turned around and told Li Zilong: "You can send someone to visit Lord Shen Jiaben immediately and hand over this petition to him."
It was beyond everyone's expectations that Yang Rui came out to accept the petition so calmly, but when he transferred the petition to Shen Jiaben, everyone was a little angry when they were puzzled. A student shouted in it: "Prime Minister, you are the head of a country. Why did you hand the petition to Shen?"
As soon as he said this, the students next to him also agreed. Yang Rui suddenly laughed and said, "Although I am the Prime Minister of a country, I still have to appear in court to be tried. Wu Yang and Zhang Hongzhao are now suspected of leaking state confidential documents and have been prosecuted by the Inspectorate..."
Before Yang Rui finished speaking, the students below began to get confused and a voice shouted: "That was because Mr. Wu prevented the provisional government from treason, so he was accused of going to Dali Temple."
"Yes! That's it! The government took the opportunity to frame it before leaving." The remaining students echoed, and the scene began to chaotic.
Another voice said again: "Prime Minister, is the Provisional Government going to hand over the Shaanxi oil mine to an American company for the undertaking? Should the national oil mine rights be handed over to the Americans? Please give us an accurate statement!"
"Yes! Is the Provisional Government going to treason? Give us a correct word!" More voices shouted loudly, and the momentum at the scene made the guards around Yang Rui alertly protect him tighter.
When he signed a draft contract with Mobil, Yang Rui thought that he would be questioned, but he didn't expect that the first person to question him was not the members of Congress but a group of students. He glanced over these extremely angry students and waited until the scene calmed down and said: "The negotiation content between the Provisional Government and the United States is official secrets. If I answer your questions here, then Wu Yangzeng and Zhang Hongzhao are no different, they are all leaking state secrets! Do you want me to go to jail?"
"Did the Provisional Government treason? The Congress and the Dali Temple Council make an assessment. Do you think you can replace the Congress and the Dali Temple? Or do you think you can represent the 400 million people?!" Yang Rui said very loudly, suppressing the students' momentum a lot. "Wu Yangzeng, if Zhang Hongzhao is suspected of violating the law, he must be tried by the Dali Temple! If he is guilty, he will be punished! This is the rule jointly discussed by the 400 million people, and it is also
It is the law of all civilized countries. Can murderers be exempted from punishment if they say they are patriotic? Can you come here to petition, and Wu Yang and Zhang Hongzhao be innocent? Can you read a book and be a talented person? You should wake up! No matter what contributions Wu Yang and Zhang Hongzhao have, no matter what talent Zhang Hongzhao has, as long as they violate the law, they will be punished! Some people want to restore the previous dynasty, thinking that if they are in good faith, they can turn big things into small things and small things into small things. That is a dream!"
Yang Rui left after saying that. But Zhang Xiangwen had already stopped him. As soon as he stopped him, the remaining students also surrounded him. This block only blocked him from the carriage. The guards on Li Zilong were very panicked when they saw the road ahead were blocked. But Yang Rui was not in a hurry in the circle of people. He wanted to see what tricks these people had, whether to shout slogans or assassination, and he was looking forward to it.
"Prime Minister, please forgive me if you have to. Why can't you let me go?" Zhang Xiangwen looked at Yang Rui who was not anxious and couldn't help but persuade him. The students were too young and had no effect at all.
Yang Rui looked at him and smiled, "Mr. Zhang, even if you have helped the Revival Society, if you violate the law, you will be punished!"
"I am not afraid of being punished. But Mr. Wu must not be punished!" Zhang Xiangwen said, "It is not easy to save talents in the country, so you must cherish talents!"
"Are you caring for talents or for favors?" Yang Rui said, "If you have talents, you can be exempted from punishment? If your education is not a gold medal for avoiding death? I will say bluntly, even if Dali Temple sentences all scholars to be guilty of being guilty, I also agree to shoot them all! If it is for favors, is your favor greater than heaven? Can you be above the law? Are you the emperor?"
"You!" Zhang Xiangwen is a person who values friendship and has received a lot of help from Wu Yang. He then kept trying to find ways to plead for him. Now that Yang Rui's words are only touching the key points, he was speechless for a while.
"Mr. Zhang, let the students get out of the way. You have completely invalidated my petition. Let's ask the judge to give a light sentence." Yang Rui said. His previous questioning had already made Zhang Xiangwen dizzy, but he didn't want to talk about the trial. Zhang Xiangwen suddenly remembered the purpose of this petition and immediately shouted: "If you ask someone to withdraw the lawsuit, we will go back."
"Then you wait for a lifetime!" After Yang Rui said that, he sat down on the stairs of Dali Temple. The guards around him formed a circle and separated him from the petitioners.
As soon as he sat like this, the students outside could not see him. But after the Prime Minister sat down, these people had no choice. They thought that when everyone petitioned, Yang Rui would always persuade him with kind words after receiving the petition, but he did not expect that Yang Rui would hand it over to Shen Jiaben after taking the petition. Now he is not in a hurry to leave, and just sit here to waste time with everyone.
Guanya Street was originally a dense place for the central government to work. News of the Prime Minister being surrounded here soon spread throughout the capital. The troops ordered by Yang Rui to go back to Dali Temple after receiving the order from the garrison commander Wang Menghui. When they knew that it was Zhang Xiangwen who blocked Yang Rui, Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei and other officials from various departments also rushed over. However, before they arrived, several reporters also talked to Yang Rui.
"Prime Minister, there are rumors that Director Wu was arrested by you because he opposed the provisional government's transfer of Shaanxi oil mines. It was not because of the leak. Is this true?"
"If this is true, then Wu Yang could file a lawsuit with the court, suing me for infringing on his personal freedom."
"Prime Minister, Director Wu had strongly refused Russia to invade Kaiping Mine during the Gengzi period. He made contributions to the State. Even if he was guilty, should he be exempted from punishment?"
"Haha, everyone in the Revival Association has made contributions to the state. Can appoint a person without prosecution and killing is not guilty?"
"Prime Minister, the Provisional Government and the United States are now in close relations. Will Mobil Oil obtain the right to explore oil and priority?" Yang Rui, the person who asked this time, knew that in Beijing, he was one of the three major journalists as famous as Morrison. Although his Chinese is fluent, it is very strange.
"I have nothing to say about this!"
"Your answer makes me think you are guilty." Donald is worthy of being a famous reporter. Seeing Yang Rui's harsh mouth, he digs a hole and waits for him to jump, but fortunately Yang Rui disdains him.
"Prime Minister, some people say that you grew up in the United States since childhood, so you have a good impression of the United States. Is this the reason why the Provisional Government and the United States have a good relationship?"
"I'm still attending university courses in London, England. Most of my knowledge is taught by British teachers. Why don't you ask me about my good feelings for the UK?"
"Prime Minister, why did Mr. Yan Fu from Tianjin Naval Academy be dismissed? Mr. Yan Fu..."
"Yan Fu is so embarrassed to say that he is a teacher at the Navy School? As a military school teacher, he does not study teaching but only works as an interpreter. If he had been, he would have resigned long ago." Yang Rui looked at the young man who was asking questions and felt that he was not like a reporter, and then asked back: "Which newspaper are you?"
"Ah," the young man was a little surprised and said immediately: "I, I am from Beijing Dialect Daily."
"Your newspaper..." Yang Rui read the Beijing dialect daily. "If you don't change your writing style, I'm afraid no one will buy it."
...
During the messy conversation, Yang Rui said the most was nothing to say. Just when he was about to waste time with the petitioned students, Shen Jiaben, dressed in mahjong, came out. He did not come out alone, and there were not only judges but also bailiffs around him. Unlike Yang Rui's toughness, his expression was very serious. Especially when he saw that Yang Rui was blocked by a large group of students at the entrance of Dali Temple, he shouted: "What kind of discipline is it to stop here in Dali Temple? Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Shen Jiaben spoke. The bailiff in the black uniform next to him rushed over immediately. The already tired student was frightened by this and suddenly dispersed a lot. Shen Jiaben walked straight to Yang Rui and bowed, "Prime Minister is rude!"
"Where are there. I have to thank Lord Shen for helping him." Yang Rui had already stood up at this time and moved the carriage to him. At this time, the students had not left, and it was not a polite time. After greeting him, he was getting on the carriage. When he went in sideways, he saw the dispersed students looking here from afar. He didn't know why he thought of the students of the Patriotic Society waiting for him on a rainy night nine years ago. The heat flowed through his heart and suddenly reached out to wave them. The students were driven out of the yard of Dali Temple by the bailiff. Now that he saw him wavering, he was a little brave but came back.
"Today I see you both happy and sad. Happiness is that you are worried about national affairs and love the country; sorrow is that you are often blind and impulsive, and often unrealistic.
We are a brand new country, but at the same time it is an ancient nation. If this nation wants to regain its life, it must change everything now, or more truly. Everything except wife and children! Without such determination, we cannot revive. And what is the most important thing among these changes? Students, have you ever thought about what is the most important thing for this brand new country?”
Having reserved enough time to arouse everyone's thinking, Yang Rui suddenly shouted, "It's not about industry saving the country, not about military saving the country, not about education saving the country, nor about human feelings saving the country, talent saving the country, but about law saving the country!! What is the law? It's the constitution formulated by the Congress. It's freedom, she's equality, she's order. Without her, if you don't abide by her, then industry is empty, military is empty, and education is also empty. Because the law becomes empty, in the end we will face a country where officials and businessmen colludes, warlords fight, and education is defeated.
Students, wake up! Don’t look at the world with morality, but the law; don’t look at everything around you like others, but look at everything around you with a realistic view. Whether Wu Yang, Zeng, and Hongzhao violates the law, look at evidence, listen to people’s words will only be impulsive; whether the provisional government sells the country or not, the Congress will judge itself. When your mind is hot, how can you make up for the slogans when you shout?”
Yang Rui persuaded the students, and they bowed their heads when they said the words. He took this opportunity to say, "We know that many of you are not from the geological department, why do you come? And those from the geological department, why do you come? And Mr. Zhang, why do you come?..., you don't say it, but I know. The friendship between friends, the friendship between teachers and students, and the friendship between classmates, you come for this. But do you know what Wu Yang and Zhang Hongzhao did? Can you really be sure that they leaked the secrets to protect the mine?
You don't know! Many of you know nothing about this! You just have to come to petition for love, because not coming is unrighteous, and not coming is ruthless. After all, you are just some poor people who have been kidnapped by love! What is the difference between you and those women who have to tie their feet? In the eyes of those women, only those who have to marry a good husband's family with little feet, but no one wants a big foot; in your eyes, unrighteousness will attract people to be despised, and only those who have feelings and righteousness will be sought after. Are there any persons who are truly free individuals? Does anyone dare to think about what they think and do what they do?
In the past, China was a society of human relationships. Those dignitaries, gentry, wealthy businessmen, marriages, sworn brothers, sworn brothers, sworn brothers, created a big but not missed network of relationships. In this network, the top people only talk about human relationships, not the system, and they only look at power and do not follow the law. Wu Yang and Zeng Zhang Hongzhao were arrested. More than 350 officials resigned for this, and more than 1,000 people pleaded for them. Some of them said that talent was not easy, some said that benevolent people love others, and some said that the overall situation was safeguarded...
Fart! These are all pretexts and excuses. What they fear most is the society that used to be only talk about human feelings and not the system, and what they fear most is the officialdom that used to be only talk about power and not the law, because once this happens, no one on the relationship network is no longer a top person, cannot make profits from it, cannot be arrogant, and cannot be either rich or noble.
They are afraid, because they are afraid, they use friendship as a rope to tie you to petition. If they don’t come, they are ruthless and righteous. Shameless and shameless! There is nothing more shameless than this! In order to achieve their own interests, these people can tie you to petition. In order to fulfill their friendship, they can trample on the laws of the country. Their face is greater than the sky, and their friendship is deeper than the sea. But do they still have this country in their hearts? Do they still regard the law as? What do they regard the 400 million people as?
In the past, the gentry and noble people who were either rich or noble never lost money. Because the emperor could change the gentry but not, they were all the best people in the world; some who could see it correctly can also make contributions from the dragon and shine their ancestors. However, they forgot that the Revival Society initiated a revolution, not a dynasty! The relationships of the past will never be returned. No one needs family background or relationships. As long as they are smart, they can study, as long as they are hardworking, they can become rich, as long as they are brave, they can become generals, as long as they are honest, they can become officials. This is my promise from Yang Rui, and it is also the promise of the Revival Society!"
Yang Rui's improvisational speech was finally over. Facing his students, Zhang Xiangwen's face turned blue when he was told, and he pressed his hand on his chest, wanting to say nothing, but behind him, the temporary government officials who had just arrived were applauding hard. Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, Qiu Jin, all of them all applauded and smiled towards him. Although Yang Rui's speech was his own imagination, it was actually the dream of everyone in the Revival Society.
And when they walked towards him, a figure in the mule cart in the distance sighed, "It's worthy of being named Yang Rui. Rui cannot be regarded as a man. He is declaring war on the gentry all over the world."
"You don't understand. The election has ended. Ninety percent of the members of the Revival Society are farmers. What do he say if he doesn't say such things?" Another figure said disapprovingly.
"Second brother, this place is not possible. What should we do next?" asked the figure who spoke first.
"Do as planned!" another man decided, and then drove the mule to Qipan Street.
After Zhang Taiyan greeted Yang Rui, he went to persuade Zhang Xiangwen, but Zhang Xiangwen seemed to be shamelessly scolded by Yang Rui and a few shamelessly. Although he used friendship as a rope to tie students to petition, he was definitely not for his own glory and wealth. When Zhang Taiyan went to persuade him, he turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing this person leaving, Yang Rui said proudly, "Brother Mei, if he can't think about it, let him go. Some of them are free and are all tied up by messy things, and they can't help themselves. We revival members, have no friends, only comrades!"
Whether Yang Rui’s speech was for students or for members of the Revival Society, Qiu Jin asked beside him, “It turns out that we don’t talk about friendship, so what do we say?”
"What do you say?" Yang Rui's voice was a little hoarse, "Talk about the heart! Law! Do whatever you want, as long as you don't violate the law. The great way is abolished, benevolence and righteousness, wisdom is born, there is great falsehood, the relatives are discord, kindness and filial piety, the country is in chaos, and loyal ministers. China's ethics and ethics not only eat women but also men. How many people live freely under it? They are all slouching under ethics, they are really cowards!" The longer this era, the more Yang Rui understood the essence of this era. It was no longer the Qing Dynasty. I really don't know what this society was like during the war in the turtle and piercing decades ago.
The petition is over, and Yang Rui thought of Li Zilong next to him, saying: "Let Wang Menghui withdraw his troops and tell him not to send troops if he moves. This is Beijing. What's the point of panic about our own territory? And those students, if not from Beijing, arrange food and accommodation for them first and then send them back tomorrow. Wang Xiaolin also sent a reporter to interview, so that newspapers tomorrow say we will dispatch military and police to suppress the students."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Zilong said, being surrounded by students just now, he was very worried, but he didn't expect that the matter would be solved like this, which was really unexpected.
Everything was arranged, and Yang Ruicai and several others got on the carriage. The car was wide and there was no need to worry about being crowded by several people. As soon as he got on the car, he said to Cai Yuanpei: "This year's university admissions need to be changed. The one you mentioned before would be independent enrollment. If this continues, the teacher will be the gods in the future, and whatever he says will be the ones. In the future, the government will be full of his disciples and disciples, and they are simply a scholar." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
