The real reason why the imperial movement was delayed for two months was not that Zhao Gang wanted to "source the public opinion of the majority of the people", but that Zhao Gang did not know clearly how many people supported the imperial system, because the voices of support for the imperial system by the ban officials were getting stronger and stronger. It forced Zhao Gang to slow down and move forward in a roundabout way, so as not to become a "lonely man" in advance.

The petition trend initiated by the Security Council was only a superficial phenomenon of the imperial movement. At the same time, there were still unpublic petition activities within the military and political circles. The petitions sent by various provinces to Zhao Gang were personally reviewed by his father-in-law Zhang and handed over to the Political Affairs Hall for archives. [Know. This secret petition also began to become more and more intense with Zhang Qian's acquiescence. As a great talent, Zhang had no flaws in his knowledge, but he had a pathological support for the imperial system, which was a shortcoming.

The second day after the official announcement of the security preparation meeting, that is, on the afternoon of 824, was initiated by Zhang and Song Bingce, and held a special military and police meeting on Zhangzhai Street on Shifuma Street to "discuss" the so-called "security preparation matters". This was a secret meeting, and the participants were all important military and police officers, including Wu Junsheng, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Bingxiang, Ma Longbiao, Zhang Tianzhi, Lu Yongxiang, Li Changtai, Jiang Yanxing, Tang Zaili, Zhang Jingyao and other 44 people, as well as Ruan Zhongshu and Xia Shoutian, who were "temporarily joined".

Zhang delivered a speech at the meeting, first introducing the proposals of Canori and the "Supervisors of the Security Council", and then said: "As far as history is concerned, the Chinese people have a habit of thousands of years. If the monarch can be extended for at least three or four hundred years, and seven or eight hundred years. There are examples; even if one monarch can be used for several decades, it can be avoided in this period." "It is not a government that has no strength in the monarch. Although people at present dare not look at me sideways,

However, we have been secretly peeking at our country for a long time. We must first protect the country first. How can we make a simple and simple matter? Moreover, the military and police have the responsibility to protect the lives and property of the country, so we must prepare for it. Now we will send a general interest to all provinces. We will pay attention to the preservation of the country, as long as there is no different word. Please sign and sign. As for the clear discussions of a few people outside and the provocations of bandits, we should ignore them. Those who are especially interested should enlighten their subordinates and do not be confused by them. The most important thing is to do! The most important thing is to do!”

After Zhang finished speaking, "there are no different words." At that time, there were two signature books on the venue: one was "agree with the monarch" and the other was "agree with democracy". Duan first signed the "agree with the monarch's book". The attendees "turned in turn". In addition, the district heads of twenty districts inside and outside the city of the Beijing Police Department, brigade commanders of each army, and above the commanders of the Guards, unanimously agreed with the monarch. Before the meeting, Duan added: "When the provinces resumed their telegrams, they can publish them as soon as possible depending on the movements of the diplomatic group."

After the military and police meeting, civil and military officials secretly submitted it to Zhao Gang to petition for the implementation of a monarch. Among the government's key officials, there were Zhang, Tang Shaoyi, Zhan Tianyou, Zhu Qi, Zhang Zongxiang, Liang Shi, Zhou Ziqi, Liang Dunyan, Gongsang Noorbu, Ruan Zhongshu, Tang Zaili, Zhang Zhenfang, Lei Zhenchun, Song Bingce, Zhang Shiyu, Fu Liangzuo and Jingzhao Yin Shen Jinjian. The military and police circles have the most people, including more than 320 central military organs headed by the Army Chief, and the navy captains headed by the Navy Chief Tan Fenglin, and Zhang Shao

Twenty-two lieutenant generals led by the army, forty-three major generals led by Wu Jiezhang and five colonels. Infantry Commander Jiang Chaozong led the Office of the Office and all the battalion wing officers and soldiers, Wu Bingxiang, director of the Beijing Police Department, led the police chiefs of various provinces, Chen Xingya, the battalion commander of the Beijing Military Police Battalion, and so on. These secret reports were mostly official articles, many of which were handled by manipulators. At that time, a kind of pressure had been formed in the officialdom, forcing everyone to express their opinions. Many of them did not dare not to agree even though they thought it was wrong.

Despite this, among the government officials, a few people still publicly expressed their disregard for the monarchy from the perspective of maintaining their rule. As Secretary of State, Rong refused to persuade him to advance, but was unwilling to object openly, but instead adopted a detached attitude. He said to Tan Fenglin: "I will not stop it, nor do I agree with it. I will listen to you all."

On the 829th, Zhao Gang officially ordered Zhang Qian to be removed from his position as prime minister and replaced by Yung Wing. Zhao Gang's statement changed internally. The Minister of Education Zhu Qi and the President of Pingzheng Zhang Zongxiang both resigned on the pretext of persuading the landmine mine Zhenchun was transferred from the Confidential Bureau of the Political Affairs Hall and took over as the Director of Education. "Yang Wei was promoted, but the real intention was transferred."

Li Jingmai (son of Li Hongzhang), Zuo Xiaotong (son of Zuo Zongtang) and others all secretly submitted a message to Zhao Gang, with similar contents. They all advocated the implementation of presidential hereditary and opposed Jun Xian. Zuo also advised Zhao: "Start the country and inherit the family, and do not use villains." The reasons mentioned by Li Jingmai can roughly represent the views of those who hold the presidential hereditary. He said: "You are planning to organize the peace meeting to discuss the national system, admire Hongmo, and admire Hongmo, and deeply admire the great president. The holy spirit of the great god, Yi Wu and the three, and the title is above Ah, and it is better to have a good reputation. Moreover, the people have been in war for a long time, and the people are determined, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble again!

However, there are many obstacles to contemplating the current situation. It is easy for the rioters to develop a heart, and it is especially difficult for outsiders to admit it. Moreover, the President once vowed to the public to maintain the republic, and it is obvious that how should a gentleman be polite and coordinate the overall situation? How can he bear the debate for a while, and cause the president to be burdened with the eggs?

I love the Republic of China, especially the president, and I am selfish and dare not go against the president's purpose. I think the title of president is not suitable for change, and the inheritance method should be determined. Scholars can talk about the disadvantages of elections. Even if the law is used to recommend and help the partial and save the disadvantages, it seems to have difficulties. However, the great treasure is located, disputes are easy to arise. Those who have ulterior motives will favor and steal power, and they can covet the golden cabin. One is that the country is not determined, and the group does not know who the successor president belongs to. People are in panic and will not have a peaceful life, and the other is.

For the present plan, it is better to set the hereditary system of the president and set a precedent for each country. After practicing, you can get a reward for the first time. The old people in the dynasty are easy to control and benefit two. The founding of the country is consistent, the policies are consistent, and the benefits are three. Taking the country as the family, the relationship is close, and the benefits are four. Taking these four benefits, since the monarch is the reality and avoiding his reputation, the people in the world will know that the national system is not changed, and the determination of the crown prince can be determined and done without any matter. It is related to the constitution, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere, and it is also completely different from the president's orders.

On the contrary, to relieve danger, appease people's hearts, and maintain long-term stability, nothing is good at this. Dare to pinch what you see and be wise." Zhao Gang did not dare to neglect the secrets of Li Jingmai and Zuo Xiaotong, and wrote to the two overnight, saying that he had no intention of becoming an emperor. In his opinion, as the descendant of the three heroes of the late Qing Dynasty (Li Hongzhang died at the end of 1901, a generation of heroes was difficult to determine, but the influence of Li Shi, who had been in contact with the world, should not be underestimated), their opinions were very important to Zhao Gang.
