    In order to lure Sun Yuanqi to come out, Yuan Shikai also spent a lot of money and gave three or four titles in one breath, such as "President of the Central Society", "Chairman of the Member Selection Committee of the Central Society", and "Chairman of the Senator Election Committee of the Central Society".

    "It's a pity that Sun Yuanqi didn't like this.

    Although he has resigned as the director of education and is far away from the core of central politics, he still holds dozens of public and private positions, including governmental ones such as senior advisor to the Presidential Office and president of the National Chinese Academy of Sciences, and non-governmental organizations such as Jingshi University  Chairman of the Board of Directors, President of the Chinese Society of Science and Technology, President of the China Education Association, Chairman of the New China Party Committee, President of the European and American Alumni Association, and countless other names presented by other directors, committee members, professors, representatives, etc.  .  Are false titles such as President and Chairman of the Central Society more attractive?

    What really prompted Sun Yuanqi to come out were two other reasons. The first was Cai Yuanpei's plea.

    Although Cai Yuanpei has a lot of experience in education, being proficient in education does not mean that he can be a good director of education, especially in the political environment of the early years of the Republic of China, with the constraints of the Provisional Senate, the constraints of the Beiyang Clan, the strife of other parties, and local  The government's obedience and subversion are enough to torture you physically and mentally.  Moreover, Sun Yuanqi drew on the education systems of later generations to carry out drastic reforms in the national education system, and comprehensively promoted the improved version of compulsory education. He spread the education stall very large, making it difficult for Cai Yuanpei, who had just arrived, to get started.

    What¡¯s more important is the shortage of education funds.  The provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi contribute a lot of money to the Ministry of Education every month, but there are more places to spend money. Science, education, culture, health, and sports all need funding from the Ministry of Education.  In the past, when Sun Yuanqi was in power, Lilith could show her love and help for free when there was a shortage of funds.  How can Cai Yuanpei be as famous as Sun Yuanqi?  It has only been a few months since Cai Yuanpei took office as director-general of education, and Cai Yuanpei has already thought about resigning countless times.  This time, the selection of members of the Central Society was a commotion. Cai Yuanpei once again thought of resigning while being troubled. He even wrote a resignation letter and put it in a drawer in his office.

    Fortunately, Song Jiaoren returned to Beijing at this time. After hearing the news, he hurriedly met with Cai Yuanpei. First he burst into tears and was moved by emotion, and then he spoke earnestly and rationally, lamenting the various difficulties and challenges faced by the Kuomintang in the House of Representatives election.  Finally, Song Jiaoren said in a deep voice: "Brother Jiemin, now that the Senate election is coming, we must go all out and not let any mistakes be made! Once the election fails, the Kuomintang, which has not been merged for a long time, is likely to be torn apart. You are the veteran of the Tongmenghui.  , KMT director, can you bear to sit back and watch the party sink?

    "As an institution directly under the Ministry of Education, the Central Academy of Education has the director-general of education as its election supervisor. As long as you are in office, you have a great chance of getting more than half of the seats. If you resign at this time, Sun Baixi will definitely take over the post of director-general of education.  The eight seats of the society will become the possession of the New China Party. Now the New China Party has become the second largest party in the House of Representatives primaries, just behind our Kuomintang. If they suddenly emerge from behind in the Senate election,  This makes it impossible for our party to form a government, and ultimately leads to the split of the party. Brother Jie Min, isn't that the case of 'Although I don't kill Boren, Boren will die by me'?"

    "Uh?" Cai Yuanpei was speechless: Can I, the director-general of education, resign or not, determine the success or failure of the Kuomintang?  It¡¯s a bit too exaggerated!  Besides, what if I'm in office?  Sun Yuanqi has a great reputation overseas and is the president of the European and American Alumni Association, which can ensure that the votes of international students will not be lost. Not to mention his huge influence at home, graduates of Jingshi University alone account for half of the members of the Central Society.  Why does the Kuomintang win more than half of the seats in the Central Society?

    Seeing Cai Yuanpei's disbelief, Song Jiaoren continued to explain: "Song also knows that Sun Baixi's influence in China's educational circles is unmatched. Even if he does not take any action to canvass votes, most of the eight places in the Central Society will fall into  It is difficult for other parties to get in the hands of the New China Party. But we, the Kuomintang, are now in a difficult situation. We must do it knowing that we cannot do anything, survive in the face of death, and face the difficulties. There may not be no chance of a comeback!"

    "What's the clever trick for Dunchu?" Cai Yuanpei asked curiously.

    Song Jiaoren showed a sinister look: "We first invite Sun Baixi to go north to take up the posts of President of the Central Society, Chairman of the Member Selection Committee, Chairman of the Senator Election Committee, etc., and be responsible for the institutional preparation, member selection and senatorial election of the Central Society.  Matters. These matters are inherently complicated, and Jingshi University is another major player in the higher education sector. If Sun Baixi handles it improperly, it will cause heated discussions and affect the votes of the New China Party. Even if he can handle all aspects of the matter properly,  You can also keep him in the capital and prevent him from giving speeches and canvassing votes across the country.

    ¡°Once the Central Society starts to elect senators, we will create a lot of public opinion in newspapers and promote Sun Baekxi¡¯s control of the meeting.Member selection, eliminating dissidents, allowing Jingshi University students and the New China Party to dominate the Central Society, with the intention of capturing all quotas.  People like Sun Baixi have always had the most reputation. In this case, they will definitely give up a few places. Our Kuomintang is also very influential among young students. If Brother Jiemin provides a little guidance from the Ministry of Education, we will definitely gain something.  .  This is called 'if you want to take something, you must give it first'.  "

    Cai Yuanpei frowned when he heard this, and his expression was quite determined: "This method is too¡ª¡ª!"

    "Too despicable? Too mean?" Song Jiaoren sneered, "Compared to the Republican Party's vote-buying and fraud, what are our little tricks? Politics is inherently dirty, and it only includes three meanings: cruelty, blood,  Deception. Even if Sun Baixi is known as a contemporary saint, he cannot escape this category after entering politics, let alone waiting for it? Since we have decided to enter politics, there is no need to pretend to be noble.

    "Furthermore, the Republicans are the lackeys raised by Yuan Xiangcheng. If they are in power, what will become of the Republic of China, which was forged with the blood of the Revolutionary Party? The New China Party has no political opinions and is in conflict with the relationship between the Kuomintang and Yuan Xiangcheng.  Eat and sleep. Compared to the New China Party and the Republican Party, at least our purpose is clear and correct. Since the purpose is correct, what does it matter if there are some minor flaws in the means? At most, we are just following the authority in a hurry."

    Cai Yuanpei¡¯s face became even darker: ¡°If the means are incorrect, even if the results are correct, what¡¯s the point?¡±

    Song Jiaoren did not answer this question, but instead said to him: "Brother Jiemin, Song knows that you have a close relationship with Sun Baixi. As early as ten years ago when Jingshi University was established, he served as the vice president.  I have summoned you and invited you to go north to teach. Your appointment as the Director-General of Education is also due to Sun Baixi¡¯s strong recommendation. This time I invite Sun Baixi to go north to take up the post, I¡¯m afraid you have to come forward in person, Brother Jiemin.¡±

    Cai Yuanpei snorted coldly and replied unhappily: "Since you know that Sun Baixi and I have a sworn relationship, you still want me to come forward and invite him to go north? Do you want to trap Cai in an unkind and unjust place?"

    Song Jiaoren quickly replied: "Song, how dare you! It's just that Sun Baixi's trip to the north is not necessarily a bad thing for the New China Party, it is just more beneficial to our Kuomintang. As the director of education, Brother Jiemin should also know that this time  The selection of members involves nearly 100,000 people across the country and must be completed in just two months. It is an arduous task. Now the gentry from all over the country are in trouble over the selection of members, with petitions and protests continuing. If this continues, at the Senate meeting next year  It will be absolutely difficult to complete the election of members before the convening.

    "Will the Senate be postponed because the Central Society has not elected members? Obviously not! That means that the eight seats of the Central Society are completely wasted. This is a loss for us and a big loss for the New China Party. Only  The Republican Party and Yuan Xiangcheng are optimistic about this. The only person who can change this situation now is Sun Baixi, because his lofty status in the education circle is recognized by everyone, and he is well aware of the development of China's higher education institutions. Like the current uproar,  He can completely resolve the issue of qualification explanation with one word, and no one dares to raise objections. In this case, why doesn¡¯t Brother Jiemin want to invite him to go north?"

    Although Cai Yuanpei knows that Song Jiaoren¡¯s intentions are impure, the current dilemma he is facing is indeed as he said. Except for Sun Yuanqi, it is difficult to crack. If the delay continues, it is likely that both the Ministry of Education and the candidate students will suffer losses.  ¡ª¡ªIn real history, it was the fierce dispute over mutual selection qualifications that caused an unexpected turmoil in the academic world, so much so that the Ministry of Education and the students who were not eligible for mutual selection were at loggerheads, and both sides resorted to legal action.  In the end, Chen Zhenxian, who was also the Director-General of Education, was relieved of his part-time job, and no one was elected to the Senate through the Central Society.  This eventually led to the stillbirth of the Central Society.

    Seeing that Cai Yuanpei was agitated, Song Jiaoren hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Song did this not for himself, but for our Kuomintang, Tongmenghui and Guangfuhui! In the past, in order to achieve the success of the revolution, Guang Hanzi (Xu Xilin) ??killed Enming, the governor of Anhui.  In the end, his heart was murdered without any regrets; Jianhu heroine (Qiu Jin) acted righteously in Zhejiang, and died calmly in Shaoxing after the incident was revealed; Xiong Weigan (Xiong Chengji) plotted to assassinate the Qing court to inspect the navy minister Zai Xun, and was willing to water freedom with his blood  Tree.

    "Brother Jiemin, can you bear to see the great political party that countless martyrs fought for decline like this? Do you want to see the Republic of China, which was forged with the blood of martyrs, decline like this? Now that the country is in a state of disarray and the people are in dire straits, we revolutionaries are determined to rise up and bring the current situation to an end.  Is it wrong to clean up the political situation and make the Republic of China stand among the world's powerful countries, so as to comfort the underground spirits of the martyrs and make them smile?"

    Cai Yuanpei had no choice but to relent and said: "Then I will write a letter to Sun Baixi. As for whether it succeeds or not, that is beyond my control."

    Song Jiaoren was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, okay, okay, then we have Brother Laojimin!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
