Chapter 271: Ruthless Communication
After leaving the room where King Liu De was being held, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui went to the room where Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, was imprisoned.
Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, saw the eldest prince Liu Jiarui walking in, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Highness, why do you do this? Although the power of our Han Kingdom is in the hands of the cabinet, the cabinet has always respected the opinions of the royal family. β
Prime Minister Chen Pu actually doesn't care too much about who will be the king of the Han Kingdom, but the coup d'Γ©tat of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui is not just as simple as seizing the throne of the Han Kingdom, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui actually wants to take back the rights of the cabinet, and change the constitutional monarchy that has been implemented in the Han Kingdom for many years into a centralized monarchy, which is equivalent to touching the interests of the entire capitalist class, so that the prime minister Chen Pu can not accept it at all.
The corners of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui's mouth twitched contemptuously, "Prime Minister Chen, the officials of our Han Kingdom are greedy for ink and have made the entire Han Kingdom a miasma, but your cabinet has nothing to do about it, or you don't want to deal with the corruption problem in the officialdom of our Han Kingdom at all, because many cabinet members are the biggest corrupt officials in our Han Kingdom." β
After a pause, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui continued: "If your cabinet is allowed to govern like this, it will really destroy the hard-won good situation of our Han Kingdom, so I will temporarily take back the power of the cabinet and completely solve the problem of corruption in the officialdom of our Han Kingdom with a high-pressure policy." β
The embarrassed look on Prime Minister Chen Pu's face flashed, as the prime minister with the most power in the cabinet, Chen Pu did not show much integrity, and also used his power to collect a lot of money for himself.
Prime Minister Chen Pu coughed and concealed his embarrassment, "Your Highness, our Han Kingdom has been a constitutional monarchy for more than a hundred years, and if you suddenly want to take back the rights of the cabinet, it is likely to cause a lot of turmoil, it is better to have business as usual, and the cabinet is willing to support His Highness to become the new king of the Han Kingdom." β
Prime Minister Chen Pu's words made the eldest prince Liu Jiarui sneer in his heart, in fact, Liu Jiarui is not the biological son of King Liu De, and some bigwigs in the cabinet have also known about it, in the matter of King Liu De's attempt to make the second prince Liu Jialu the first heir to the throne, most of the bigwigs in the cabinet are on the side of King Liu De because of the problem of royal blood.
Now the prime minister Chen Pu no longer thinks about the royal blood for the sake of profit, and these politicians can sell anything for their own interests, and of course they can also sell the royal family.
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Chen, I am not here today to discuss with you what system the Han Kingdom should implement next, but to ask you to support the return of the military power and the administrative power of the government to the king at the cabinet meeting." β
Prime Minister Chen Pu then said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, as the prime minister of the cabinet, you will never support such a proposal, history has proved that the monarchy is backward, and only a constitutional monarchy can make the country strong." β
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui sneered and said: "Our Han Kingdom has been implementing a constitutional monarchy for more than a hundred years, why haven't I seen the constitutional monarchy make our Han Kingdom strong, but our Han Kingdom is constantly ceding land and paying reparations, if it weren't for the appearance of Su Yi, maybe our Han Kingdom has become a vassal of the Gothic Kingdom, and now millions of Han youths are being sent to the battlefield of bloody battles with the Nigerian army and the Erlu army." β
Prime Minister Chen Pu hesitated for a moment and said: "But that kind of situation has not appeared now, and if the Han Kingdom has been implementing a centralized monarchy, maybe our Han Kingdom will become even worse." β
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui saw that he could not convince the cabinet prime minister Chen Pu with words, so he waved his hand to an officer of the royal guard behind him, and soon a group of people were led to the door of the room.
"Sir!"
"Father!"
"Grandpa!"
More than a dozen people, old and young, couldn't help but shout when they saw Prime Minister Chen Pu being detained in the room, and these dozen people were all relatives of Prime Minister Chen Pu.
Prime Minister Chen Pu saw that his relatives were brought over, and his face suddenly changed, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" β
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui said with a smile: "Prime Minister Chen should understand what I mean, now it depends on Prime Minister Chen's choice." β
Prime Minister Chen Pu's face changed a few more times, and finally said gloomily: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to cooperate with you in the cabinet meeting to let the king of the Han Kingdom regain control of the military power of the army and the administrative power of the government. β
After the eldest prince Liu Jiarui left the room where the prime minister of the cabinet was imprisoned Chen Pu satisfied, he came to the room where the deputy prime minister of the cabinet was imprisoned Qian Jianrong.
Qian Jianrong, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, is much tougher than Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, even if Qian Jianrong's family is brought to him, Qian Jianrong still does not choose to give in to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui.
However, when the eldest prince Liu Jiarui cut off the two fingers of Qian Jianrong's son in front of Qian Jianrong, the hard-hearted deputy prime minister Qian Jianrong also gave in and agreed to support the eldest prince Liu Jiarui's justifiable recovery of military and administrative power at the cabinet meeting.
Using his family as a threat, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui easily made most of the cabinet members who were arrested submit to him, only Sun Mingwu, the former commander-in-chief of the national defense forces of the Han Kingdom, Yang Yuandu, the former chief of the general staff of the national defense forces of the Han Kingdom, and several other military cabinet members, even if they threatened them with the lives of their families, these military cabinet members did not have the slightest intention of giving in to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui.
In the room where Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, was imprisoned, Sun Mingwu looked at his own son who had five fingers cut off, and said to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui through gritted teeth: "Even if you kill my entire family, don't want me Sun Mingwu to agree with you to re-implement the monarchy system, in order to realize the democracy of our Han Kingdom, how many people with lofty ideals have sacrificed their lives, and your perverse behavior is a historical regression!" β
The Han Kingdom was able to implement a constitutional monarchy, not without waves, but after a bloody storm, and even a civil war broke out more than a hundred years ago, and finally the Han army that supported the constitutional monarchy defeated the Han army that supported the royal family, so that the king of the Han Kingdom at that time had to agree to form a cabinet, so far the Han Kingdom began to implement a constitutional monarchy, and transferred the military and administrative power in the hands of the king to the cabinet of the Han Kingdom.
Seeing Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force with a resolute attitude, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui sighed softly, waved his hand and asked the people of the royal family to take Sun Mingwu's family away.
Then the eldest prince Liu Jiarui said in a regretful tone: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, I personally respect you very much, just that you have served as the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force for many years, and you can still maintain a clean style of two sleeves, which makes me awe-inspired, but you are so stubborn, and you have a huge prestige in the entire National Defense Army, which makes me very embarrassed!" β
Sun Mingwu sneered contemptuously and said, "Liu Jiarui, or should I call you Zhang Jiarui, let's put away your fake compassion!" If you want to kill or kill you, I, Sun Mingwu, will never give in! β
"Don't you just stop thinking about your family?"
"Since it is my Sun Mingwu's family, it is their duty to be loyal to the country!"
A hint of murder suddenly flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, "It seems that I can only become Commander-in-Chief Sun." β
Then the eldest prince Liu Jiarui turned his head and said to the two officers of the royal guard at the door of the room: "You two come in and see Commander-in-Chief Sun for a ride!" β
Two officers of the royal guard then walked into the room and covered Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, alive with a quilt.
When Liu Jiarui walked out of the room where Sun Mingwu was held with a gloomy face, he found that Yang Guanghao, commander-in-chief of the Han Army, had also come over.
Yang Guanghao saw Liu Jiarui walking out, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Your Highness, is Commander-in-Chief Sun willing to support you?" β
Yang Guanghao and Sun Mingwu's personal relationship has always been good, Yang Guanghao has persuaded Sun Mingwu several times before, hoping that Sun Mingwu can recognize the situation and stop being stubborn, but unfortunately Sun Mingwu is like a stone in a thatched pit, stinky and hard, let Yang Guanghao say that Sun Mingwu is unwilling to give in to the eldest prince Liu Jiarui and support Liu Jiarui's upcoming monarchy centralization.
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui said in a cold voice: "Commander-in-Chief Sun has just suddenly suffered a stubborn illness and has left us forever, early tomorrow morning, the news of Commander-in-Chief Sun's death will be reported to the entire National Defense Army, so that all military regions can do a good job of memorial activities." β
Liu Jiarui's words made Yang Guanghao's heart can't help but rise a chill, you must know that Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force, has a very high prestige among the three armies of the entire Han Kingdom, and he was killed by the eldest prince Liu Jiarui when he said he would kill him.
However, Yang Guanghao couldn't care about feeling sad for Sun Mingwu at this time, you must know that Yang Guanghao's own brother, Yang Yuandu, the chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces, was also imprisoned in the camp of the First Mechanized Infantry Division of the National Defense Army at this time, and Yang Yuandu's attitude towards the eldest prince Liu Jiarui was also the same as Sun Mingwu.
Yang Guanghao thought about the wording for a while, and then said to Liu Jiarui: "Your Highness, my brother, can you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to do my brother's work." β
Liu Jiarui's face showed a smile again, "I have great respect for Chief of Staff Yang, of course I hope that Chief of Staff Yang can support me, but Commander-in-Chief Yang, you must know that Chief of Staff Yang has a huge influence in the National Defense Forces, if Chief of General Staff Yang can't be used by me, then I can't leave such a big potential threat." β
Yang Guanghao nodded again and again and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely be able to persuade my brother to be loyal to His Highness." β
Liu Jiarui patted Yang Guanghao on the shoulder, "Then you should hurry up and persuade Chief of General Staff Yang!" I continue to communicate with the rest of the Cabinet! β
Then Liu Jiarui said: "Commander-in-Chief Sun has worked hard for the country all his life, and he can't let Commander-in-Chief Sun go too lonely, so let Commander-in-Chief Sun's family accompany Commander-in-Chief Sun on the road!" β
Although Liu Jiarui's tone was flat, the content of his words was extremely ruthless, maybe Sun Mingwu, who died generously, would not have thought that the eldest prince Liu Jiarui would be so ruthless, he would really kill his whole family, otherwise maybe Sun Mingwu would not die without hesitation.
Yang Guanghao walked into the room where Yang Yuandu, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, was held with a very ugly face, and Yang Yuandu saw Yang Guanghao who walked in, and couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "You don't have to be a lobbyist for that Liu Jiarui anymore, I will never support him to re-implement the monarchy system!" β
Yang Guanghao showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "Big brother, don't stand up, His Royal Highness the eldest prince is here at the moment, and Commander-in-Chief Sun Mingwu has been executed by order of the eldest prince just now." β
When Yang Yuandu heard this, he couldn't help roaring angrily: "Liu Jiarui even dared to kill Commander-in-Chief Sun, isn't he afraid of the entire National Defense Force rebelling?" If such a person becomes the king of the Han Kingdom, he must be a tyrant, and our Han Kingdom is in danger! β
"My eldest brother, please be quiet, if His Royal Highness the eldest prince hears your words, your life will be difficult to protect!" Yang Guanghao said very nervously.
Yang Yuandu said indifferently: "I, Yang Yuandu, have never been afraid of death since I put on this military uniform, let that Liu Jiarui let the horse come!" β
At this time, Yang Guanghao said bitterly: "Big brother, just now, His Royal Highness the eldest prince also ordered the execution of all the family members of Commander-in-Chief Sun, saying that it was to prevent Commander-in-Chief Sun from being too lonely on Huangquan Road, including Commander-in-Chief Sun's four-year-old grandson and five-year-old granddaughter, all of whom were on the list of executions. β
When Yang Yuandu heard this, he immediately shouted in shock: "Why doesn't Liu Jiarui even let go of the child? His heart is too ruthless! β
Yang Guanghao opened his mouth and begged: "Big brother, although I still have some face with His Royal Highness the eldest prince, but if you have been stubborn and unwilling to take refuge in His Royal Highness the eldest prince, I dare not guarantee that you will be able to protect the sister-in-law and others, eldest brother, I beg you not to resist, what system is implemented in the Han Kingdom, is it really more important than the sex of your family?" β
Yang Yuandu, who has always been very resolute, couldn't help but show hesitation on his face at this time, after all, it is no longer a matter of life and death alone, and the eldest prince Liu Jiarui is likely to let his whole family be buried together.
Yang Guanghao persuaded again at this time: "Big brother, in fact, even if you insist on not cooperating with His Royal Highness the eldest prince, it will not change anything, the two prime ministers and most of the cabinet members have already submitted to His Royal Highness the eldest prince, not to mention those ordinary members of the parliament, after His Royal Highness the eldest prince ascended the throne, the implementation of the monarchy centralized system has become a foregone conclusion." β
Yang Yuandu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It seems that I, Yang Yuandu, can only act for the tiger for the sake of my family's life." β
