If before the attack, Yuan Shikai made such a suggestion, he must have wanted to tie himself to the meeting. Now, he made this suggestion, perhaps to show his favor, but why does it feel like there is some conspiracy behind it!

"Zhiyuan,"

After taking a sip of tea, Yuan Shikai said in a serious tone.

“Although the constitution was formulated by the National Assembly and representatives from each province, after all, it is a project related to China’s millennium plan. To formulate a millennium constitution, in addition to the representatives being public-minded, there must also be someone who can mediate.

And this person must have prestige, be able to persuade, and be convincing..."

This high hat was put on his head. Although it was clearly a high hat, the words touched Li Zicheng's heart. It was not because of the high hat, but because the Constituent Assembly was bound to quarrel, so there was no doubt that someone came forward to coordinate all this.

is extremely necessary.

"As for this person, apart from Zhiyuan, I really don't know who would be suitable for China as a whole!"

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate if the president came forward?"

"I,"

Yuan Shikai laughed, put his hand on his forehead and said.

"I haven't even learned Chinese studies well, so how can I talk about constitution-making? I don't understand this constitution-making, human rights, freedom, etc. How can I convince other people? Besides..."

The smile suddenly faded, and Yuan Shikai's expression became very serious.

"Zhiyuan, maybe you don't know that no one in our Yuan family has lived past sixty...",

When the private affairs of the Yuan family were mentioned, Yuan Shikai's expression became extremely unnatural.

"According to the law, the president has the right to nominate candidates, who are ultimately selected by Congress. Zhiyuan, you are one of the candidates I proposed. If nothing else happens, after my death..."

"The President..."

Waving his hand to interrupt Li Zicheng's words, Yuan Shikai's expression changed slightly, and he spoke like a kind elder.

"Congress will definitely elect you as president, Zhiyuan, after you have heard this..."

Seeing that Li Zicheng was about to interrupt him again, Yuan Shikai said while waving his hand to stop him.

"With the talent of Zhiyuan, it is extremely suitable to be the president. In the past year, who has not recognized the ability of Zhiyuan? Who can cover up the merits of Zhiyuan? Although you are in the central position and are very good at internal and external affairs, Zhiyuan

, but do you know where your biggest shortcoming lies?"

Yuan Shikai's rhetorical question made Li Zicheng slightly stunned. The biggest shortcoming? He really hadn't considered this.

"place!"

When he uttered these two words, Yuan Shikai took another sip of tea.

"Ever since the bandit rebellion broke out in the Qing Dynasty, the localities have alienated themselves from the central government. After the Wuchang Uprising, why did all the provinces respond one after another? In the final analysis, it was the Qing government that ignored the voices of the localities and the people. This region has grown bigger for more than fifty years.

Years, how can it be achieved by the efforts of day and night? If Zai Fengcao had not been too late, how could we have the Republic of China today..."

Holding the teacup in his hand, although he did not have any good impressions of Zaifeng, the two of them agreed on the power to take over local governments. It was this lesson learned from the past that made Yuan Shikai cautious in taking over power from the central government. When Yuan Shikai said

At this time, Li Zicheng kept nodding. Regarding Yuan Shikai's summary, later generations have already come to a conclusion. Because of this, in the process of returning power to the central government, Li Zicheng supported local autonomy and direct election, while emphasizing financial rights.

, Finance has always been the source of all political affairs. As long as financial power is grasped, there will be no chaos in the local area. As for military power, it is also in line with the trend.

"Of course, Zhiyuan, you have taken back power in the past year, even mature and prudent people will admire it. When you delegate power, you take back financial power, loosening and tightening, which can be said to complement each other..."

"Where, where!"

Li Zicheng quickly raised his hands modestly.

"But, this alone is not enough. Zhiyuan, even though you are great in many ways, you are weak in the local area. You have no local foundation!"
