Chapter 1201, New Year's Eve

The next morning, Wu Shaoting took Feng Yanan to Feng Guozhang's house with gifts. Feng Guozhang was Uncle Feng Yanan and of course his elder. Although he was the head of state, he still had these necessary etiquettes, not to mention that he had important things today.

"Shock me, I wish you a happy New Year to my uncle!" As soon as I saw Feng Guozhang and Wu Shaoting respectfully made a New Year greeting gesture to Feng Guozhang. Of course, I did not kneel down, but just bowed deeply.

"Haha... It's rare that the head of state came to wish me this old man a happy New Year. It's really frightened!" Feng Guozhang's tone also revealed his dissatisfaction with yesterday's incident.

"It should be so! It should be so!" Wu Shaoting of course knew that Feng Guozhang was still angry about what happened yesterday, and he gave Feng Yanan a wink when he said it. Last night, Wu Shaoting had already told Feng Yanan about the cause and effect of the matter. Of course, Feng Yanan supported Wu Shaoting. Moreover, although Feng Guozhang is a relatively straightforward old man, he is also a person with a temperament and is even more pampered with Feng Yanan.

"For example, you see, Shaoting has come to apologize, so don't show off his bad face. It's the Chinese New Year now, and don't make things unhappy about those political matters at home." Although Feng Yanan obeyed Wu Shaoting's words, it was because in her opinion, her husband was his own god and he should be whatever he said, but it was different when Feng Guozhang was about to do so. Who made Feng Guozhang love Feng Yanan so much?

"Oh, this married daughter is different. The elbow is so twitching out!" Feng Guozhang has always been as his daughter, and Feng Yanan has spoken out, and his face has also eased a lot. In fact, he just can't help but face.

"There are no outsiders, they are all their own family!" Feng Yanan actually looked a little naughty.

The whole family had a happy meal. During the meal, Wu Shaoting and Feng Guozhang were both very consciously talking about the romantic and the moon, not the state affairs.

After dinner, Feng Guozhang invited Wu Shaoting to sit in the study. Those who should come will always come. Feng Guozhang could see that Wu Shaoting's main purpose today was to come yesterday.

"Shocking, do you know why I opposed you so strongly yesterday? Do you think my old bones still care about those false names?" Feng Guozhang lay down on the recliner, his deteriorating body made the mighty general who once galloped on the battlefield become old.

"Zhenzhi knew that the Beiyang lineage was your lifelong guardian, but Zhenzhi really had no intention of dismantling the Beiyang forces." Wu Shaoting specifically emphasized his relationship with Feng Guozhang, and claimed to be Zhenzhi, just to show that he and Feng Guozhang were always on the same front, and Feng Guozhang had always tried to embrace the Beiyang bloodline. Wu Shaoting thought that his statement yesterday might have caused Feng Guozhang to misunderstand that he was going to attack the Beiyang forces. It just so happened that the strength of the Beiyang lineage was all Beiyang warlords with great dictatorship. The combination of the two downs will inevitably lead to misunderstandings from the Beiyang Democratic Party.

"Haha...yes, the power of the Beiyang Democratic Party has become less and less powerful in recent years, but it's not my old man who brags. You can't move the Beiyang Democratic Party now!" Feng Guozhang's tone showed that it was not a threat, but there was something in his words. Wu Shaoting frowned, but he couldn't think of what Feng Guozhang wanted to express.

Logically speaking, Feng Guozhang would not rely on his seniority to fight against Wu Shaoting by relying on the strength of the Beiyang Gong Party. And his words just now proved this, but in fact, he had done something that was very unfavorable to Wu Shaoting, so what explanation would be?

"Zhenzhi doesn't understand what you mean?" Wu Shaoting thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Feng Guozhang's meaning was, so he had to ask directly.

"I'll ask you a question, why did you think of "remaining power for the people". You have to know that at least since Beiyang, the major warlords have been fighting constantly, and they are determined to sit in your current position. But you are sitting in it now, but you want to give up before your butt is hot. Why is that?" Feng Guozhang did not go back to Wu Shaoting's question directly, but instead asked Wu Shaoting, who wanted to know Wu Shaoting's true thoughts so that he could make a better choice.

"Uncle, you should be clear that the reason why I am still insisting on dictatorship is because I still need dictatorship. However, as time goes by, if I do, I will encounter more resistance. Instead of doing so, it is better for me to express my determination to keep dictatorship as soon as possible. This will avoid a lot of trouble and be beneficial to the development of the country. These are not something that my personal wishes can decide!" Wu Shaoting tried to make his point of view very objective, but Feng Guozhang still heard the helplessness in Wu Shaoting's tone. With his understanding of Wu Shaoting, Wu Shaoting is a power maker, and his desire for power is not weaker than anyone else, and he is even stronger, but he is willing to give up dictatorship.

"The resistance you mentioned is Song Jiaoren, Sun Yat-sen and others. If you are worried about them, I advise you to rest assured. Sun Yat-sen has no power at all. As for Song Jiaoren, he certainly has certain support, but his so-called support is nothing more than some guys who need to spend more time to rectify it. It is just a matter of time!" Feng Guozhang said, with a fierce look in his eyes. This kind of look can only be achieved by those who have been through the battlefield for a long time and have experienced the tempering of life and death.

"No... you misunderstood. Don't say that the resistance I mentioned is not them at all. Even if there is one, it is only a little bit. The most important resistance is the people and the trend of historical development!" Wu Shaoting didn't know how to explain it to Feng Guozhang so that Feng Guozhang could understand this truth, but these sentences were all Wu Shaoting's psychological words.

"Pediatric, have you never heard of it? History was written by the Victory?" In Feng Guozhang's opinion, these illusory things had nothing to do with him. He thought Wu Shaoting was a man of paranormality, but he didn't expect that he would be troubled by such problems.

"History is written by the people and written by future generations! With the continuous development of economy and culture, the people's ideological level will continue to improve, and the desire for freedom and equality will become stronger and stronger. At that time, a dictatorial government will definitely be something that the people do not want to see. If it goes against the will of the people, it will definitely be overthrown in the end. It is better to follow the public's wishes and make preparations in advance!" Wu Shaoting felt that such an explanation is more reasonable, and he cannot take the end of his 21st century as an example.

"Haha... the future is your young people. We who are silly are no longer necessary to get involved in so many of us, but we need to have a procedure to do things and know how to be sensible. Do you know? If I didn't stand up yesterday and strongly opposed you, do you know what the consequences would be?" Feng Guozhang didn't seem to care about what path Wu Shaoting chose to take, but he cared about how Wu Shaoting took this path.

Wu Shaoting fell into deep thought. He had always complained a little about Feng Guozhang before, why didn't he help him at the critical moment?

"If I had not stood up to oppose yesterday, but others stood up to oppose it, the worst consequence would be a mutiny!" Feng Guozhang said majesticly.

It would be fine if you don’t say this, but when Wu Shaoting was sweating coldly on his back, Feng Guozhang did not exaggerate. Yesterday, if it were someone else, no matter who the other person was, even if he didn’t stand up directly to oppose Wu Shaoting, just say it loudly and clearly, it would really be possible to cause a mutiny.

The reason is very simple. There are only three types of people present yesterday, supporting dictatorship, supporting democracy, and maintaining neutrality. However, only a few of those who remain neutral, including Cai E, most of them have clear attitudes. Some people must have the same idea as Feng Guozhang, or Feng Guozhang said that some people's ideas should be to support dictatorship, that is, people who think that their rights have been deprived. They do not allow their rights to be deprived. In order to defend their interests, they will definitely take action. In addition, they all hold real power, so the actions they take cannot be so simple. Those who support democracy certainly do not allow such a situation to happen, and they will definitely try their best to stop it. In this way, the two gangs will have conflicts. This conflict is not just like verbal battles in the venue, but bloody events under the venue.

Those who maintain neutrality will also come forward to stop it in order to maintain national stability. In this way, China will fall into a melee again, and this consequence is something that Wu Shaoting doesn't want to see.

Feng Guozhang stood up at this time and strongly opposed Wu Shaoting, the effect was different. First, Feng Guozhang expressed his idea of ​​supporting the dictator. Those who supported the dictator believed that someone had spoken for him, so of course there was no need to continue to get entangled. Second, those who supported the democracy heard Feng Guozhang's opposition, because Feng Guozhang was an absolute veteran and his uncle, they would definitely not take any action. The head of state had already expressed his support for democracy. The head of state's uncle opposed it. This should be something they could communicate in private, so that there would be no neutral ones.

"Thank you, uncle, I promptly repaid the mistake Zhenzhi made!" After thinking through the cause and effect of the matter, Wu Shaoting sincerely thanked Feng Guozhang for being able to stop him in time. As expected, Jiang is still so hot.

"I can only do so much. You have to be clear that you are the head of state. When you really want to make a major decision and it is a decision that concerns the interests of many people, don't implement it suddenly. You must understand the situation in all aspects in advance and give them a vaccination in advance so that they can make sure that they will think that you are going to attack some people. The sudden conference like yesterday can only be a surprise, not a shock! This is also the only place where I get angry." In fact, Feng Guozhang was saying the truth. Wu Shaoting didn't even know about such a big decision. This is really unreasonable.

"Yes... this is my negligence!" Wu Shaoting thought at first, and everyone talked about it. He thought that no one would vent privately and could get the most real answer, but the facts proved that Wu Shaoting's idea was wrong. Fortunately, Feng Guozhang!

Immediately afterwards, the two of them talked about how to deal with this. Feng Guozhang even promised Wu Shaoting to help convince some important figures in the Beiyang Gong Party. This moved Wu Shaoting very much. The time was ripe and the power was still available for the implementation.

After Wu Shaoting tried the waters of "remaining power to the people", fortunately, with Feng Guozhang's mediation, it was not a big disaster. However, Wu Shaoting also made a smart choice and temporarily kept some officials with a hot temper and powerful force in Nanjing. On the surface, it was said that it was necessary to discuss some specific matters in order to cooperate with the implementation of the "Washington Plan". In addition, their families were more or less in Nanjing. Although they were not very willing, they still stayed.
