The imperial decree has been stripped of red tape and improved to the present day, with simplicity and solemnity.

According to the Taizu period, it took half a month for a formal decree to go from draft to text, another week from text to issuance, and when it was printed, it needed to be conveyed by a regular attendant, and the recipient had to kneel down to give thanks for the decree, which basically took three or four days. However, in the current era, under the reform of His Majesty, the Holy Decree is only the highest level of official documents, the meaning is clearly expressed, there are no text errors, according to the basic format, it can be printed and distributed, and there is no need for the permanent attendant to send it, only the cabinet needs to copy a few copies of the manuscript of the Holy Decree, and hand it over to the special printing and printing of the selected characters of the Political Affairs Hall. Nowadays, there is also a telegram, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs can get His Majesty's latest instructions in almost an hour or two.

Mo Hu now looked at the holy decree that had just been printed in the political affairs hall.

Excluding the words and sentences on the Holy Decree, the meaning of the Holy Decree is completely in line with Mohag's opinion. There are only four specific contents:

1. Time: four days;

2. Voters: three products in Beijing, two products and above outside Beijing;

3. Voting method: I will send it to the cabinet without signing it;

4. Voting requirements: The Minister of Prime Minister's Affairs of the Government Hall recommends it alone, and the rest recommend 12 substantive officials of the second grade.

But the will did not come with a list of candidates, which made Mo Hu frown a little.

If the candidate is not specified, then it is a tacit acquiescence that you can "start idle". In other words, after doing the Qi monument and stone power, it is necessary to return to the core of the military government.

Mo Hu sighed, put the holy decree aside, and thought for a while.

Shi Quan has the Du Zuo sickle case, and Qi Monument is the Wanghai Province corruption case, both of which were approved by His Majesty himself at that time.

The unspoken rules, the unspoken rules of politics. Behind this kind of rule, what makes Mo Hu experience is 'abandonment' and 'distrust'.

Mo Hu tore off the holy decree, thinking in his heart that he had survived from a royal family side door to his current position, how much suffering he had endured, how much suffering he had suffered, and how much he had been abandoned. Say you don't trust it, you don't trust it? Wronged, Mo Hu was extremely aggrieved.

Mo Hu thought for a moment and made a decision.

Mo Hu walked to the study room in the town courtyard, and ordered the chair in front of the desk to Mo Longxiang, who was waiting here, meaning to sit down.

Mo Longxiang just sat down, and Mo Hu said: "I don't comment on Zhaojia's affairs, but personally, I think that you are so young, and you can do this, which can be regarded as some achievements." ”

Mo Hu said this very interestingly, His Majesty had already punished Mo Longxiang before, so he naturally couldn't praise Mo Longxiang, but at this time, if he wanted to get into a relationship with Mo Longxiang, he had to say a few words of comfort.

However, this sentence is too official and does not work.

Mo Hu asked directly in the next sentence: "Are you familiar with Qi Bei?" ”

Mo Longxiang was stunned for a while and said: "I know, I am known as one of the founders of the Imperial Navy. ”

Mo Hu was very dissatisfied with his answer, and asked again, "What do you think of this person?" ”

Mo Longxiang's psychology seemed to have been touched by something, and he became alert, Mo Longxiang knew very well that in terms of the current situation, Qi Bei was the controller of the military government of the previous generation, and it was a big mountain before Mo Hu came to power, although it was not clear how Qi Bei fell in the end, Mo Hu was his successor.

Thinking of the vote, Mo Longxiang suddenly became clear.

"The official definition is the founder of my Imperial Navy......" Before Mo Longxiang finished speaking, Mo Hu interrupted: "I don't ask you about the official definition, what I ask is what you think, and what else is the founder of the Imperial Navy, he was called a sailor in his time." ”

Hearing this, Mo Longxiang understood Qi Bei's position in Mo Hu's heart, and naturally said: "Marshal, Qi Bei is currently in the Military and Political University, and has been the dean of the Naval Officer Academy, although he didn't come forward much, but he was also my teacher at the beginning, in your words, it is indeed a little difficult to keep up with the times......

Mo Hu interrupted again and said: "I know that you respect your master, no matter what you do now, I will ask you, whether he can keep up with the current situation of the navy now, is his set of wooden ships and your ironclad ships the same thing?" ”

"Marshals, naval divisions and navies, after all, are a kind of generational change, and there are still some places in the way of combat."

Mo Hu snorted very lightly and said, "You navy, you have spent all this money for many years, and the feeling is that the outside of the wood has been replaced with iron sheets?" ”

Mo Longxiang can be regarded as hearing Mo Hu's meaning this time, if he was still trying to lower the Qi Monument to cater to Mo Hu before, then now it seems that he is stepping on the Qi Monument and holding Mo Hu.

"Marshal, in terms of the navy, the renewal in recent years has been in the bones, unlike you, Marshal, General Qi has been away from the front-line troops for too long, if you can make up for some gaps in experience, after all, there is still a big gap with your understanding of the current army."

Mo Hu asked, "If it is to be activated, what will happen?" ”

"There will be a generation gap." Mo Longxiang replied.

Mo Longxiang's words made Mo Hu very satisfied, and said: "Qi Bei, Shi Quan, Zhong Shan, Bei Shan Pi, Du Zuoyi, Xia Ze, these six people, were the members of the first generation of the General Hall that built the Central Military Sergeant's Mansion when His Majesty ascended the throne, and at that time Qi Bei and Zhong Shan were known for their familiarity with maritime affairs, I was still the deputy commander of the Central Military Region at that time, and I did not approve the formation plan of the Central Fleet at that time, Qi Bei actually wrote a letter to reprimand me, and the content of the letter I still remember was mostly some pedantic empty words. After Mo Hu finished speaking, he seemed to take a breath, and his sitting posture was also leaning and relaxed, but when he looked at Mo Longxiang, he sat up straight again and said, "This is not any complaint against you, nor is it any prejudice against the navy." I'll just say that this navy is a generation or a lifetime behind. In terms of concept and viewpoint, the current Central Fleet is very different from the sailors of the old generation. ”

After Mo Hu finished speaking, he took himself a cigar, threw another one to Mo Longxiang, and then took the cigar and burned his feet in the flame, and said: "The Central Fleet is Zhong Shan's hard work, General Zhong Shan admires him very much, and his greatest thing is that it is time to die." In this way, if you spend some money in the past two days, at the gate of the Military and Political University, you must let people see clearly that it is Zhongshan, preferably copper, and write your resume below, and use the sacrificial text conveyed in the palace. ”

This cigar entered his mouth, the clouds were shrouded, Mo Hu was a person who smoked cigars a lot, this cigarette was very handy, but he didn't forget to pull the matchbox to Mo Longxiang's side.

Mo Longxiang nodded and did not speak.

As if he had something else to say, Mo Hu kept thinking about it, and finally spoke: "In your navy, how is the prestige of Qi Bei?" ”

Mo Longxiang knew very well what Mo Hu meant, and he himself said that Qi Bei was a member of the first generation of the General Hall of the Central Military Sergeant's Mansion that year, but Qi Bei was not so simple. When His Majesty fought Twin Islands, Mo Hu was still a guard, but Qi Bei was already the commander-in-chief of the Naval Division, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was named "Imperial Hero" and the portrait entered the Imperial Heroes Hall to eat incense. Later, when the Central Sergeant's Mansion was formed, he served as the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of the Navy, and the foundation of the empire's current Luowang Navy and Chuwang Navy was laid by him, and you Mo Hu was the commander at that time, if it weren't for the chaos in the Central Sergeant's Mansion later, you Mo Hu would still be watching kangaroos at the border. Now you ask, the prestige of Qi Bei in the Navy? That's a mountain, and without this mountain, what else is the empire talking about the navy?

But at this time, Mo Longxiang couldn't say it directly, so he could only say: "After all, if you enter the Hall of Heroes, you always have some prestige." ”

"That's how you are, I've asked everything, what are you talking about. Does he have prestige, I don't know? You remember one thing about me, that is, when the statue of General Zhongshan was unveiled, you invited me and Qi Bei to go to the Military and Political University to unveil it, did you hear that? Must be fast, do you hear me? The more he spoke, the louder he became, and when he finally finished speaking, he slapped the table. The guards outside the door also poked their heads.

Mo Longxiang understood Mo Hu's temper early, nodded yes, and was about to leave, Mo Hu shouted behind him: "2 days, strive for 2 days, I want to see the invitation tomorrow afternoon." Do you hear that? Mo Longxiang agreed without losing his manners.

Seeing Mo Longxiang's 'polite' appearance, Mo Hu took out a folder from the drawer and said, "Your Majesty has asked the Central Fleet to integrate the fleet of the King of Chu this time, and I plan to transfer the personnel of the Central Fleet to serve in the Central Military Government. ”

Mo Hu handed it over, Mo Longxiang took it and opened the folder. It was a very sloppy copy paper, with several names and positions written on it, and at a glance, Mo Longxiang had already reacted, what did he enter the Central Committee of the Military Government, and these subordinates were all assigned to the Military and Political University or the Royal Forest Army, those high-level "pension" places.

Mo Hu is helping Li Guangya to seize power, and he is also showing favor to Mo Longxiang again.

Mo Hu: "You know, General Zhong Shan once had a five-year agreement with His Majesty, that is, in order to ensure the rapid formation of the Central Fleet, the Central Military Government will not care about personnel changes within five years, so you have also entered the Central Fleet." And this year, the agreement has expired, and I can leave these people alone for a year or two, and I can find them a good place to go, but you have to do it for me. ”

The meaning of this sentence is: You help me step on the monument and hold Zhongshan, and I help Li Guangya take power.

At this time, Mo Hu saw the reactions of some subordinates from Mo Longxiang, not the attitude of an outsider through a layer of glass.

Mo Longxiang nodded at Mo Hu and said, "I will definitely complete the task." ”

Mo Hu smiled and said: "That's right, isn't the internal journal of your Central Fleet regarded as the authoritative publication of the Imperial Navy, you will publish a journal to commemorate Zhongshan in the past two days, I will ask people to give you some manuscripts, what is the content, you don't want to revise it, just go on it, of course, don't say that I let you publish it, things will be done well, I want to create an atmosphere to commemorate General Zhongshan in the whole military region." Do a good job, people on the list, you can rest assured. ”
