“好人政府”是外交系登上政治舞台初期的一幕演出,也是其政治生涯当中重要的一页。自由派知识分子将实现“好政府主义”的希望寄托在外交系身上,外交系却由于自身固有的软弱,在政治上无法摆脱吴佩孚的影响,沦为直系洛派操纵北京政局的一个工具,最终导致“好人政府”成为各方抨击的对象而倒台。可以说,作为北洋时期中国政坛上的一个特殊群体,外交系的政治性格通过“好人政府”得到了充分的展现。标榜“独立”却深深地卷入了政争,自诩“超然”却成为多方攻击的目标,这种看似矛盾的现象,实际上正是1920年代初北京政治生态的反映。 “Good government ” is the diplomatic department boarded the stage of the initial performance of the political arena, but also an important page in his political career. Liberal intellectuals pin their hope of realizing “good government” on the diplomatic corps. Because of its inherent weakness, the diplomatic department is politically unable to get rid of the influence of Wu Peifu and becomes a tool used by the immediate Luoyang faction to manipulate the political situation in Beijing. Eventually leading to the fall of “good government” into the object of attack by all parties. It can be said that as a special group in the political scene in the Northern Dynasties, the political personality of the diplomatic department was fully demonstrated through the “good government”. The seemingly “independence ” has been deeply involved in the political struggle. Self-proclaimed “detached ” has become the target of multi-lateral attacks. This seemingly contradictory phenomenon is actually a reflection of Beijing’s political ecology in the early 1920s.
