Yiya Chengji changed his words and said that he was only the "chairman" Zhao Bei knew that the other party was guessing, "I'm afraid, so he shook his head."

"Weigen, since these people have repented, we naturally can't kill them all, we must give them a chance to change their minds.

The reason why I asked you to come here and show you these arguments is just to make you understand the current situation. Since the Jiangsu Provincial Councillors were arrested by Liu Jianzhang the day before yesterday, those congressmen in the National Assembly have become suspicious, some have scolded the central government for carrying out a coup d'état, and some have even fled to the concession, and even the legislators dare not do it. You are also aware of these facts, the current situation. There is some chaos, which is not good for the country, and it will also affect the mood of the people. Therefore, the center decided to settle people's hearts first.

The central thinks. In the current Diet, the United Front has an absolute advantage, but the National League also has a certain amount of power. Moreover, it is precisely because of the confusion caused by the National League's practice of making small moves behind the scenes, if it were not for their dictatorship of the center's foreign policy, how could these parliamentarians who took the initiative to write arguments and confessions be so intriguing? In the eyes of these people, the center seems to be really engaged in a coup d'état, is this simply a villain's heart to live in the belly of a gentleman, how can this be reasonable! ”

Indeed, since the rumors of "the president planned a coup d'état" spread in the Congress, Xiong Chengji has been defending the center and the president, he does not believe that Zhao Bei, who was born as a revolutionary, will use Yuan Shikai's means to destroy the republican system, however, judging from these arguments, there are indeed a group of members in the Congress who insist that Jiangsu's "National League arrest" is the president's coup d'état against the National League, which is not good, this is the beginning of a series of arrests and killings, so, The members of the United Front who had been involved in the NLD's plot to impeach the president were so frightened that they did not go to the concession and did not have the courage to continue to cooperate with the NLD, so in the end they chose to surrender to the president. in exchange for the president's leniency.

This is called "changing the mind", but it is more like "knowing the current affairs is a handsome"

"Does the president want me to come forward to appease the members of Congress?" Xiong Chengji speculated about Zhao Bei's intentions.

"Yes, I would like to invite you to visit Tianjin, where many members of the National League have fled to the Tianjin Concession. Although they are temporarily dormant in the concession, there is no guarantee that no one will use them to make a fuss in the future, so they must be persuaded to return to the National Assembly as soon as possible. Tell them that the affairs of Jiangsu are presided over by 6 Jianzhang and Xu Baoshan, and the center does not directly intervene. Although the Ministry of Justice is also involved. But now the judiciary operates independently. How could the central government interfere? Therefore, no matter who is arrested, the National Assembly is the National Assembly, and the Provincial House is the Provincial Assembly, two different things. As long as they did not participate in the assassination plot against Governor Wang, they could rest assured that they would be their councilors, and they would not have to be suspicious all day long, beware of being trapped by others. ”

"Why don't you go straight out of the mountain? He was the vice president and the leader of the National League, and he went to persuade. Naturally, it works much better than an outsider like me. Zhang Jizhi is in Beijing now, and he invited Speaker Li and Speaker Tang to the banquet tonight, he didn't run, what are those little minions of the National League running? Is it really a thief's heart? ”

Xiong Chengji was a little strange. As the leader of the National League. Zhang Han has not fled to the concession now. Instead, those minions fled under his command, which is indeed a bit unusual.

"The little minions ran away, but the party leader didn't, what does this mean? This illustrates. This is probably their arrangement, and if you understand this, you will understand why I didn't ask Zhang Jizhi to appease those councilors. Originally, I wanted to ask Huang Keqiang to go to Tianjin. But considering that his health is not as good as before, he had to grieve Weigen to go to Tianjin. You are also a revolutionary father, and you are also a close disciple of Mr. Song Yuchu, a model of constitutional government in our country, and you also have appeal among parliamentarians. ”

The first few words in front of the president were a little heartfelt, which made Xiong Chengji a little worried, and after hesitating for a while, he still decided to ask.

"The Ministry of Justice ordered the arrest of Jiangsu Provincial Councilors, and it must have been approved by the president in advance, I wonder if the president can tell Xiong that 6 Jianzhang and Xu Baoshan arrested so many people, do they have real evidence in hand? Or is it simply a rumor to take people? ”

Zhao Bei pondered for a moment and said: "Weigen, I'll be honest with you, I can't answer this question either, because this evidence is now in the hands of the task force and has not yet been transmitted, so I can only wait now, just like the congressmen." Waiting for the outcome of the interrogation. Waiting for the truth to come out, China is now a country ruled by law, and torture is not allowed to extort confessions. There is no need to worry about the suspect being beaten into a trick. ”

Xiong Chengji nodded, thought about it, and asked again, "What if you catch the wrong person?" I'm afraid the center will have to find a staircase to go down. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior, and even the task force may have to come forward to take responsibility for this and apologize to the people. ”

Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Weigen's concern is not unreasonable, but it's too early to talk about this. Let's wait for the report of the task force to be handed in. To be honest, I believe in the ability of 6 Jianzhang, he will definitely be able to find out the "No. 1 project." The truth. ”

"Okay, I'll go out to Tianjin, if there is no train. I went by car and asked the president to send a car and a driver. ”

Xiong Chengji put his mind at ease. It's just that he doesn't have much confidence in whether he can persuade those congressmen who are hiding in the concession to return to Congress, and there are indeed some people in Congress who are nervous, even at the dinner of the American Chamber of Commerce just now. The topic of conversation was also mainly focused on the "mass arrest of the National League" in Jiangsu.

Xiong Chengji is against the "coup" theory of the National League, he does not believe that the United Front is engaged in any coup d'état, but on the other hand, Xiong Chengji is indeed a little worried that the National League will be dissolved because of this, in that case, the National Assembly will really become a united front. As for what the exhibition will look like in the future, no one can say.

As a close disciple of Song Jiaoren. Xiong Chengji admires the concept of constitutionalism very much, and because of this, he is the one he has for Zhao Bei. Military, political, constitutional. The three-step policy is skeptical. He does not believe in human morality. He, like Song Jiaoren, believes that power must be kept in a cage. Although Zhao Bei is still a revolutionary, and under his strong leadership the country is gradually recovering health, but this cannot be an excuse for him to monopolize power, because people are selfish, but also have selfish interests, this selfishness and self-interest is the biggest threat to the interests of the country and the nation, if Zhao Bei really intends to hold the central power forever, then, the National Assembly may be the only body that can restrain him.

Now, Zhao Bei already has a somewhat elegant and self-respecting style of doing things, which is very dangerous, and Xiong Chengji is indeed very worried, worried that Zhao Bei will inflate himself to the point of arrogance, so that he will eventually break the law. Destroy all the opposition in Congress by illegal means.

Thinking of this, Xiong Chengji decided to remind the elusive Mr. President, in his opinion, this may be the so-called "straightforward admonition." "Only loyal ministers dare to do, loyal ministers of the republic, loyal servants of the constitution.

"Zhenhua, there is a saying in Congress now. Say you want to be president for life. Of course, I know that this is a slander from others, but as a national dollar, you may not be able to resist it. This crisis in Congress may be a good opportunity for the congressmen to show the selflessness of our revolutionaries, Zhenhua, what you are most criticized for is that you are also the chairman of the United Front as president, I suggest. When the time is right, it would be better for you to voluntarily resign as Chairman of the United Front Committee. That way, those who attack you will naturally shut up. ”

Xiong Chengji's words surprised Zhao Bei, in the past, no one suggested that he resign as the leader of the United Front, but none of the high-ranking figures of the United Front expressed their opinions on this, and now Xiong Chengji's words are indeed a little abrupt, and even make Zhao Bei a little suspicious.

Zhao Bei has been the national leader for a long time, and he is now more and more suspicious. Moreover, he also seems to be a little stranger to Xiong Chengji, a group of revolutionaries.

"Mikane, did you mean this, or did someone else tell you?" Zhao Bei asked.

Xiong Chengji said: "This is my own opinion. It's not about others. Zhenhua, if my words collide with you, don't take it to heart, I'm a person. is a straight person, what to say, in my opinion, a national dollar is indeed not suitable for holding multiple hats, it is easy to be criticized, and it will also affect work efficiency.

Zhao Bei nodded and said, "Weigen, I have taken note of your suggestion, but I must also remind you that with the current cohesion of the United Front, it is difficult to find a person with enough prestige to suppress the field except for me, in the current situation." I must continue to serve as party leader for a while. As for the future, I may relinquish my position as party leader, but not now

"I understand that this is an eventful time, and it is indeed better to be still, and we cannot let others take advantage of the loopholes, let alone tear the Congress apart."

Xiong Chengji nodded again and again, chatted with Zhao Bei for a few more words, and then left.

Zhao Bei instructed the adjutant to prepare two cars and two drivers for Xiong Chengji, and personally sent Xiong Chengji out of the presidential palace.

After returning to the Commander's Hall, Zhao Bei did not immediately rush to the bedroom to rest, but paced around the office with his hands behind his back, sorting out his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

Originally, Zhao Bei's thoughts were very clear, but Xiong Chengji's words just now made his thoughts confused. Everyone has their own interests and their own ideas. It's unrealistic to expect your subordinates to be absolutely loyal to you forever, that's it. Zhao Bei knew very well in his heart, but he really didn't expect that Xiong Chengji would have his own ideas so soon.

"If every one of them is like Qin Sihu and Zhu Daniu, how good it would be, the top and bottom are concentric, forcefully working together, and working hard together, this is the ideal political group."

Zhao Bei sighed in his heart. However, he also knows in his heart that a political group is organized by a group of people with common interests, and these people have the same interests now, but they may not be able to continue to ensure the consistency of this pursuit of interests in the future, so there are always internal struggles in the political groups in the real world, and the united front is the representative.

"It seems. It's time to pick up the pace. At all costs. This must be done first, and the four-year industrial exhibition plan will be scraped" and clean up the gang of land snakes. ”

After making up his mind, Zhao Bei picked up the phone, shook the switchboard, and connected to the attendant's room.

。 The chamber of attendants immediately sent an adjutant to Li Yuanhong's residence, invited him to the commander's hall, and if he had not returned from the banquet, then wait at his house, and when he returned, bring him to see me immediately, and if he was drunk, wait until he sobered up and come back. ”

Press down the phone. Zhao Bei called the guards and set up a cool bed in the garden pavilion. I set up a mosquito net, and I plan to rest here first. As for the president's wife, she can only send someone to inform her that the president will not go back to sleep tonight.

The cold moon is forested, and the stars are shining. The fresh air after the rain makes people feel refreshed, lying on the cool bed, Zhao Bei quickly entered the dream.

As a national yuan, Zhao Bei is indeed very busy and tired, but he must persevere, because he firmly believes that this country needs him to be busy, and he must also move forward with difficulty in people's misunderstanding and doubts, which is the historical mission of a traverser, and it is also a necessary measure for him to protect his own interests.
