Chapter 858, Talk to Tang Shaoyi

"No, I'm here to visit you with Wu Zhizheng." Pu Dianjun explained.

At this time, Tang Shaoyi walked from the darkness to the bright place. In just five days, he was so desolate that he was so depressed that he was confused. His cheeks were sunken, his clothes were dirty and messy, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar. He glanced at Pu Dianjun, then at Wu Shaoting and others standing in the corridor at the door, but couldn't react for a moment.

Pu Dianjun sighed and said heavily: "Mr. Shaochuan, Wu Zhizheng pardoned us, but Xiong Bingsan and others were stubborn and stubborn. They were taken away by the middlemen this morning."

Tang Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became excited. He stepped forward and grabbed Pu Dianjun's arm and asked loudly: "Binggong was arrested? I heard that today is the day to hold the National Congress! Why... you were photographed specially, what does this mean? What's going on?"

Pu Dianjun shook his head helplessly and said with sighing: "On the third day of your arrest, Xiong Bingsan met with British Minister Zhu Erdian and *** Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi. They formulated a cooperation plan. The Allies sent troops to attack China and block or overthrow Wu's government. Then Xiong Bingsan repeatedly used ***, Outer Mongolia and Qingdao as conditions to exchange for the Allies' ceasefire. We really couldn't tolerate this matter, so we reported Xiong Bingsan..."

Tang Shaoyi took a breath and said in shock: "What? Bingshi... Is he crazy? He asked me to reveal that the Sino-German alliance has already given the interests of the family. How could he collude with foreigners, give birth to the interests of the family, and even start a war? No, this cannot be true. Did Wu Shaoting force you to say this, or did he lie to you?"

Ren Zongyuan took a step forward and said angrily: "Tang Shaochuan, when is it now? How could we joke about this? To be honest, I was the one who reported Xiong Xiling. If I hadn't told Wu Zhizheng this news, Wu Zhizheng wouldn't have known that Xiong Xiling had caused such a big mess!"

Pu Dianjun took over Ren Zongyuan's words and continued: "Mr. Shaochuan, you are a wise man. You should see that Xiong Bingsan has reached the extreme, and only he can do such a thing so crazily."

Tang Shaoyi wanted to defend something, but he felt sorry for his conscience, because he was also trying to defend himself for his own sake, but he knew that Xiong Xiling would definitely be able to do such a rebellious thing. He sighed in dismay, took a few steps back in a bad mood, and almost tripped by the bed. Pu Dianjun was quick-eyed and quickly chased after him and helped him.

Wu Shaoting stepped into the cell, came to Tang Shaoyi, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Shaochuan, I have always admired you as a rare talent in our Republic of China. Unfortunately, ** sometimes causes trouble, and makes a foolish move that deceives your conscience. But I believe that no matter what the differences in political stances between you and me, in the final analysis, there is a common bottom line, that is, the country is the top priority and the nation is the top priority."

Tang Shaoyi raised his head slowly and looked at Wu Shaoting, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wu Shaoting sighed slowly, and his face finally changed a little, and he seemed a little heavy and helpless. Then he said, "You can still determine that I am a dictator and a militarist madman, but compared to you, I have a clear conscience. I have never done anything to be sorry to the country and the nation. Instead, you are blindly trying to expand the value of democracy and republic infinitely. While you defend democracy and republic, you are also trampling on the true meaning of democracy and republic."

When everyone heard Wu Shaoting's words, they were surprised to varying degrees. They had to admit that these words made sense and even revealed the key to this political struggle in one sentence.

Tang Shaoyi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Although I don't agree with military power, I also want to admit that we did it too much this time. Now I am a prisoner, Wu Zhizheng, I have nothing to say. Alas, I didn't expect that Tang Shaoyi, I was walking on thin ice for so many years, but I took a wrong step at this time... A mistake turned into eternal regret..."

Pu Dianjun and others also sighed.

Wu Shaoting said calmly: "Mr. Shaochuan, why do you think I brought you here to visit you today? I ridicule you? I laugh at you? I am all members of the Qingyuan Conference. Fortunately, they are lost and stopping. I am here today to give you a chance."

Tang Shaoyi said strangely: "Opportunity?"

Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "You only need to do two things. First, you stand out to prove Xiong Xiling, which is saying that Xiong Xiling bewitched you from fabricating the Sino-Germany Covenant, which triggers a conflict between the Allies and the Republic of China; second, you published an article in the newspaper claiming that there is a business cooperation covenant between China and Germany, not a military covenant."

Although Tang Shaoyi had already realized, he was still unwilling to end his life like this. He thought that he would not be forgiven for making a huge mistake, but he did not expect that Wu Shaoting gave him another chance, and this opportunity was not difficult at all.

"Those two things?"

"Yes, these two things are no difficulty for you."

"If I want to correct the misunderstanding with the Allies, I can go to see Juerdian in person and tell him that I made up the Sino-German covenant and that this covenant does not exist." Tang Shaoyi volunteered.

"This is not necessary. I want you to publish it in the newspaper. I hope that the people of the whole country will firmly believe that the Sino-Germany Covenant does not exist. I no longer intend to explain it to the foreign devils." Wu Shaoting said calmly.

The purpose of his doing this was to guide all the people of the Republic of China to believe that foreigners were falsely accusing China and attempt to provoke trouble and invade China again. It would be a good thing for foreigners to give up putting pressure on China just after reading this report. But for him, it doesn't matter whether the Allies believe it or not, because he has already prepared a way to deal with it.

"Is it...that's it..." Tang Shaoyi didn't know what to say.

"That's all my requests. As for what you will think in your heart, it's your own business. But after the matter is done, you can't stay in Nanjing. After all, this matter is too big. I will arrange for you to go to Vietnam and serve as our Minister of the Republic of China to Vietnam." Wu Shaoting added.

"Vietnam?" Tang Shaoyi was shocked. Even if he wanted to release himself, he should send him to European countries. He was a small Vietnamese state and a French colony. What could he do if he could go there?

"When you arrive in Vietnam, someone will contact you. Don't underestimate the small country of Vietnam. The reason why I sent you there is naturally an important task. However, if you talk about this later, you haven't answered whether I'm willing or not!" Wu Shaoting said meaningfully.

"At this point, I have nothing to say. I didn't expect that in the end, I still asked Wu Zhizheng to be kind..." Tang Shaoyi sighed, and his hoarse voice was helpless.

"It is not terrible to make a mistake in one choice. As long as you know how to repent, you can still go back to the right path. At worst, you can take a turn for a while. You will learn from your mistakes and learn from them. I hope Mr. Shaochuan will be able to do it in the future." Wu Shaoting said in a stressful tone. After that, he nodded to the warden beside him and signaled, and then he would not walk out of the cell.

The warden smiled and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Mr. Tang, you can be released from prison now. If you have any more, please give me instructions. Otherwise, I'll call you a car?"

Pu Dianjun helped Tang Shaoyi and said, "Mr. Shaochuan, I'll send someone to take you back."
