Zhengyi's worries in the temple, Xu Juren also have relatives with him. This patriarch who has gone through three dynasties is now a very popular minister, and several children of his Xu family also have their own futures. Since he resolutely defected from Beiyang to Wu Chenxuan, a younger generation of his predecessors, although he has been able to meet Wu Chenxuan almost every day, and he is also the first important minister known as the "three old and four young", almost the position of the former dynasty foreman and military aircraft, but he found that he has recently been a little unable to understand this Wu official.

Unbeknownst to others, he is one of the 24 people in the base and knows the future of the world well. Although China's entry into the war in World War I was an inevitable step in obtaining the benefits of the war and sharing the cake after the war, he basically took a steady line as to why he was able to endure the revolutionary party's misdeeds for seven or eight years, and to the arrogant guys in the southwest. But this time, he couldn't understand what the boss was doing. The Battle of Guangzhou is just that, and the revolutionary party is no wonder that others are dead, but the Southwest Campaign is a bit too hasty, from his old Xu Lao's eyesight, these southwest warlords are actually just waiting for the price to sell, if they can have a good position, even if they themselves are not tempted, the military leaders under them can let them step down, and they can completely solve the southwest peacefully, but they will be fought. In this way, the pressure on the government is even less, at least there are not so many officials to resettle, and it is easier to tear down and start over than to tinker with it. However, the ensuing battle of Tibet was a bit beyond imagination, didn't the boss know that there was a risk to be taken? Although the Tibetan army has no strength, but the power of Lamaism and the British should not be underestimated, fortunately, the British were dragged down by the First World War, and the lamas did not dare to burn jade and stone to fight a religious war, but just to let several generals under their command have a record, it seems that it cannot be regarded as a legitimate reason. Now the boss is high-profile anti-corruption, which makes people think about it, and some people in the government are talking about whether the boss is dissatisfied with the current government, to be precise, he Xu Juren has some opinions. Although Xu Juren knows his own family affairs, since the boss pushes government affairs to himself, the basic principle of employing people without doubt can still be grasped, but the boss's meaning is probably not just to catch a few corruption, whether he wants to take the initiative to delegate power, he is not sure about this. When he painted the military plane for Lao Yuan Zan, he could always analyze the movements of the court without missing anything, but he really realized what it means to be unpredictable.

"Old Xu, Old Xiong is here." The secretary's words woke up Xu Shichang, who was in deep thought, and his old friend Xiong Bingsan often corresponded to each other, so he didn't pay so much attention to it.

"Brother Juren, is it because the anti-corruption in this section of the general seat is a little confused?" Xiong Bingsan opened his mouth and said Xu Shichang's heart, both of them are veterans in the political arena and old friends, Xu Shichang's worries about him Xiong Xiling also felt the same way.

"Yes, Third Brother Bing, where do you think this fanfare and anti-corruption is aimed at?" There is no need to go around in circles, Xiong Xiling's township party subordinates are also planted in it, although the parliamentarians are not as conspicuous as his government officials, but they are also the hardest hit areas.

"Well, it's hard for me to figure out what the general seat means, but this anti-corruption campaign is not only aimed at the government and parliamentarians, I heard that the army has also taken action?"

"Oh, Third Brother Bing, what are you talking about?"

"Dude, you must have news too, so why tempt me?"

"The Wei family?"

"Not bad. It was the Wei family. ”

"At that time, Wei Keren was the founding general of the insurance regiment and one of the five tiger generals of the Wuyi New Army, and I heard that he was later in charge of the construction of the reserve force, but after the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense, his voice was rarely heard. Could it be..."

"Yes, I was invited to tea by the Anti-Corruption Institute. It is said that he colluded with the builders during the construction of the barracks and training grounds for the reserve army, and that he was suspected of offering and accepting bribes. Xiong Bingsan sighed, "Do you know who reported it?" It was Wei Zhongguo, his second son, who was the director of the Construction Division of the Reserve Department of the Logistics Department. ”

"Shhhh Isn't this little cub crazy, report him Lao Tzu, how can he be in the army... Oh, third brother Bing, do you mean that Lao Wei is carrying a bag for his second son? ”

"It's not bad for the whole thing. Lao Wei, you and I both know that he is a cautious person who has to think about which foot to take before entering the door, you say he will be corrupt for millions? Who believes. It must have happened to his son, and Lao Wei wanted to keep his son, so he made this decision. ”

"Will the head office open the net?" Xu Shichang also understood that this was to see what the boss's temperament was, whether it was a glass of wine to release military power or learn from Ming Taizu, everyone was probably watching this case.

"Does the Boss have a choice?" Xiong Bingsan smiled, "Lao Wei also understands this, he is exchanging affection for the boss's forgiveness." But now the Wei family has no day to recover. ”

"Looks like so. It's just that the boss's recent movements seem to be a little strong, not like his style. There must be some reason for this. ”

"Clarifying the rule of officials is a necessary move for the opening of a new dynasty. First, it is good to give an explanation to the people of Limin, and it can't be worse than the previous dynasty. Second, the country is stable, and there is also a relative among the courtiers, and the Qingliu nobles and relatives of the family must always be divided into factions, how to weigh this can all be in the upper position. Third, at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is often the beginning of the great chaos and the withering of all industries, this anti-corruption and anti-corruption is a good time for the country to emerge, of course, our republic is not necessary. ”

"What the third brother said is very true." Xu Shichang bowed his head and signaled, he could understand that this Xiong brother could be regarded as a heartfelt word, but the most important thing was that he didn't say it, did he want to stab it?

"Hehe, I'm getting an axe from the class. Your brother Xu is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the first assistant minister, I'm afraid you have already seen the palm prints. What else do you have to know, brother, might as well say it and let me refer to it together? ”

"You, you." Xu Juren nodded his fingers and laughed, "People say that Xiong always has more heart than he does, I think this is indeed true, the reason why Boss Wu didn't blow the wind and started the operation first is probably because he still has doubts about some factions." ”

"It's Chase." Xiong Xiling also understands very well, although the boss reuses Cai Heqing, Tao, Xu and other people from the Restoration Society, but their faction is always outside the circle of the general seat, and there are many cases involving the former Restoration Party this time.

"Tao and Xu, are there any changes in them?" Xiong Bingsan continued to ask, he was in the parliament, and the news was not as well-informed as Xu Shichang in the municipality and county.

"I can't say anything about the change, but these people are stupid to learn from the West, and they are engaged in gimmicks such as the responsible cabinet. I think it's to pick up the things that turned out to be Song Dunchu. Hehe, they feel that they have a good reputation among the people and a good reputation, and they plan to blackmail public opinion to control the parliament, and then crown themselves themselves. Of course, Xu Shichang knew the purpose of these guys, but he also felt that these people were childish and cute.

"Yes, the boss is anti-corruption and anti-corruption, above board, the people of his Restoration Society have succeeded in the revolution, and he has become a master, and he has intensified his efforts. Hehe, the boss is going to dig up their roots. Xiong Xiling was a little gloating, he was incompatible with the Shaoxing Gang, and he had a quarrel with Xu Xilin, he naturally wanted to see the other party deflated, not to mention that there are many talented people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Restoration Society will fall, these young talents Xiong Bingsan can also collect a batch.

"Bingsan, what do you think of the current republican form of government? Is it really what the common people want? Xu Juren suddenly interjected, but Xiong Bingsan was stunned.

"Of course, everyone has the right to a republic, but this is the largest country with a population of 50,000, and it all depends on a group of parliamentarians to decide national affairs, but is it appropriate?" Xu Shichang knew that although Xiong Bingsan was the speaker, he was also a pragmatic official, and he often opposed the factional struggles that often appeared in the parliament for the sake of opposition, which was not beneficial to the country or the people, but only allowed a few ambitious politicians to get a gladiatorial arena of intrigue.

"Juren's words seem to have another meaning, don't you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I also feel it, if Bingsan thinks it makes sense, you might as well wait and see, maybe the head office has other arrangements, we are all in peace, and we will do our best to serve the public. Xu Shichang's words Xiong Bingsan also has a heart, in addition to suppressing the Shaoxing Gang, this boss's action seems to have a dead hand on some active democratic politicians, these guys who are deeply affected by the democratic ideology abroad are also at the international level, so the corruption is suppressed, and in the case of a large amount of corruption, this kind of foreign officials accumulate wealth, and the record of crazy corruption is numerous, in this sense, they are not wronged.

Before leaving, Xu Shichang intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the name of an American, saying that his article was very interesting, and Xiong Lao might as well take a look at it casually if he had time.

Of course, Xiong Bingsan didn't think that Xu Lao was just a casual remark in idle conversation, and immediately asked the secretary to look for this American named Goodnow after he went back. He was the dean of the Law School at Columbia University and is an authority on political science and administration in the United States. After returning to China, he devoted his studies to the Republic and the Monarchy, in which he emphasized that the monarchy was superior to the republic, but both had their own suitability. To be sure, Gu's article was written from a purely academic standpoint from a scholar's point of view, but at such a sensitive time, Gu's authoritative position in political science could not have been taken advantage of.

"Republicans and monarchies?" Xiong Xiling understood what Xu Lao meant, but he still didn't know where to go, and maybe he had to see how the young boss walked out of his next step. Xiong Bingsan also knew very well that there were not a few people waiting for this step, and perhaps there were countless eyes focused on the Wu Mansion outside the West Gate.
