After the two miscellaneous people left the house, the mother-in-law went down. Paste Zhen Jinfu also pulled a chair for Xiong Chengji. But Xiong Chengji didn't have a point, and he didn't even mean to leave the window, leaning against the windowsill, facing Zhao Bei on the side.

"Mikane, what were you looking at before I came in just now?" Zhao Bei asked.

"Look at the autumn wind and autumn rain outside." The autumn wind and autumn rain are sad, "Back then, the last stroke of the annoying woman before her execution matched the miserable wind and rain at this moment. ”

Xiong Chengji sighed and turned his head. Continue to look out the window.

"The Jianhu Woman is the martyr of Qiujin, right? Back then, she wrote this sentence before her execution, which was worried about the future of the country, but now, if the heroine has knowledge, she should also be happy about the situation of the country today, no matter what. The armed rebellion against the republican and constitutional institutions was put down. In the future, the country will continue to maintain stability and prosperity. Zhao Bei said.

"Zhenhua, although I was once confused, but I am not a fool, I know that this coup d'état was originally expected by you, and even instigated by you, now what is the purpose of you telling me these high-sounding words?" Xiong Chengji turned around. Stared at Zhao Bei's face.

"Nope! It's not a high-sounding statement! It's a fact! The fact is that it was an armed coup d'état with a premeditated attempt to overthrow the republican and constitutional system! All those involved in the conspiracy will be severely punished! ”

Zhao Bei stood up, said sharply, and then glanced at Tian Jinfu who was standing on the side, Tian Jinfu quickly took out a pen and a letter from the briefcase he was carrying, and put them on the desk.

"Ajine, I hope you face reality. As long as you write a confession and confess all the conspiracies of this coup d'état, the rebel group. How they opposed the republican system, how they opposed the constitutional system. As long as you write these words clearly, I can make an accommodation to the President and ask the President to grant you an amnesty for the sake of you being the leader of a foreign political party. Zhao Bei said this. Pick up a letterhead and pen. walked up to Xiong Chengji and handed over the letterhead and pen.

Xiong Chengji didn't take the letterhead and pen, but just glanced at Tian Jinfu and asked, "Yiren, do you have a cigarette?" ”

Tian Jinfu nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his military uniform, and handed it to Xiong Chengji.

Xiong Chengji shoved a paper cigarette into his mouth and felt it in the pocket of the new army uniform, but he didn't touch anything.

Zhao Bei handed over his lighter. Said: "Mikane." You wear this new army uniform, I'm afraid it also has a deep meaning, right? Do you really think that you are in a revolution? No! You are armed rebellions! No matter how you look at the current situation, it does not change the fact that history is written by the victors! In the history books of the future. This coup d'état of yours is a coup d'état against the republican system and the constitutional system. ”

"Yes. History is written by the victors, and the victors will judge the losers. But that doesn't mean the loser will bow to the winner. Please take back your pen and paper. I won't write this confession. At least not the way you want it to be, I've been too wrong. We will not admit the accusations you have imposed on us, and history will ultimately prove the value of our sacrifices. ”

Xiong Chengji took the lighter, smiled bitterly and pushed away the paper and pen handed over by Zhao Bei, and then lit the paper cigarette.

Zhao Bei sighed and shook his head, he knew that Xiong Chengji had made up his mind and would never change it, so he put the letterhead and pen back on the desk. Then he said a word to Xiong Chengji.

"I gave you a chance, but you gave up."

This sentence seems to be talking about the confession, but to Xiong Chengji's ears, this sentence is a pun, indeed, before the coup began to be planned, Zhao Bei had made a political deal with him, but he finally gave up the deal, and the so-called "one thought difference" ended in a world of difference.

"It was Zhou Xuexi who tried his best to pull me into this coup group.

He's supposed to be your man, right? Xiong Chengji asked.

"Nope! Zhou Xuexi is only serving me temporarily, and he can't be counted as my person. I don't know why he dragged you onto their thief ship, I had hoped you would have stayed out of this vortex. ”

Zhao Bei shook his head, but whether his words were true or false, Xiong Chengji was not at all sure.

"That's it, I won't write the confession, and I'll finish talking to you, please go."

Xiong Chengji finally issued an eviction order, which is in strong contrast to his current status as a prisoner. However, Zhao Bei didn't mind, nodded, turned around and walked to the door.

When Zhao Bei opened the door, Xiong Chengji stopped Tian Jinfu.

"Yiren, I want to say a few words to you alone."

Tian Jinfu was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Bei, but Zhao Bei didn't say anything, but walked out of the office expressionlessly, stood in the corridor, took out a cigarette, lit one, and smoked it against the wall.

A minute later, Tian Jinfu walked out. Standing beside Zhao Bei, he whispered: "He asked my pistol to pass, and I unloaded the magazine." Only one bullet remained in the chamber of the gun. ”

As soon as the words fell, a crisp gunshot sounded in the office, and the tail note dragged on for a long time, dragging Zhao Bei into that long memory.

I don't know how long it took. Zhao Beicai struggled out of his memories. He tossed the cigarette, which was almost burning his lips, to the ground, stomped it out with his foot, then turned and walked away.

Tian Jinfu took a few steps, handed a small object in his hand to Zhao Bei, and said, "This is what Xiong Weigen handed me just now." said that he originally planned to give the fourth lady a meeting gift, but he was too late to give it at the last birthday banquet, so now let me hand it over to you, and you decide its future. ”

Zhao Bei took the gift and looked at it carefully, it was a silver whistle, although it may not be worth much, but the shape is quite chic, it should be a handicraft in the Nanyang area.

Zhao Bei didn't say anything, just put this silver whistle into the pocket of his military uniform, and then

Back on the first floor, the telephone communication here has been completely restored, and the power supply has also been restored, so Zhao Bei picked up a telephone microphone. Shake through the telephone office switchboard.

"Switchboard? This is the Capitol, please transfer to the Presidential Palace, transfer code.

The battle for the Capitol was finally over, and the news was told to the president by phone by Commander-in-Chief Zhao Zhenhua, who was "ordered" to quell the rebellion. Therefore, Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. "This chaos has subsided."

Sitting on the sofa and pressing down the microphone of the telephone, Li Yuanhong sighed, and then looked at Li Fanhe, who was sitting opposite him.

Li Zanhe smiled. "The president can sleep peacefully," he said. ”

The staff of the presidential palace sitting next to Li Bian and others also echoed the voice, praising the president for his thoughtful planning and quelling the rebellion in one fell swoop, but their sycophants were obviously in the wrong place. Li Yuanhong didn't appreciate it.

"Everyone, you don't have to say these words, now let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath, right? Just now, the US ambassador shook the phone and asked me what to do with those coup d'étatists. I told him that this needs to be done in consultation with the heads of the ministries of the Government Council, as well as with the prime minister, and now that the heads of ministries and the prime minister are already on their way to the presidential palace, we will soon be able to come up with opinions on how to deal with them, and then we will pass them on to Zhao Zhenhua to see what he has to say. ”

Although Li Yuanhong is mediocre, he is not a fool, he knows very well that in fact, the reason why Li Bianhe has been sitting by his side since the counterinsurgency troops occupied the presidential palace is that he played the role of Zhao Bei's "Qincha", to put it mildly, he is here to spy on Li Yuanhong. And it is not strange that Li Yuanhong, as the president, does not know when this special operations brigade was transferred from the 64th training battalion in Jiangdong to the capital? The only explanation, I am afraid, is that this coup d'état has long been "expected" by Commander-in-Chief Zhao.

Being in the bureau, even people who no longer understand politics should now wake up to the fact that this coup d'état is actually a bureau, a well-arranged bureau, trapping the coup group. also trapped the Li Yuanhong government, and the only person who benefited was only one person, and that was now the commander-in-chief Zhao who was commanding the troops to quell the rebellion.

Li Yuanhong knew very well what he should do now, if he didn't want to die in the presidential palace. The best choice is to cooperate in an all-round way, whatever Commander-in-Chief Zhao says, President Li Da will do whatever he wants, and if the putschists dare to put a pistol against President Li's head, who dares to guarantee that those Qiu Ba of the counterinsurgency forces will not hold a rifle against President Li's head?

Constitutionalism, constitutionalism, this is a nice name, but in the end, it is the barrel of the gun that has the final say. In the end, the rules of the game in this world are determined by the strongman.

Li Yuanhong is not a strongman, he is just a democratically elected president, nominally he is the supreme commander of the country's armed forces, but now without the nod of Commander-in-Chief Zhao, he may not even be able to transfer the internal affairs forces.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, Li Yuanhong is a person who knows current affairs, and he can see the situation clearly.

"The Commander-in-Chief means that a special military tribunal will be organized to try the rebels involved in this campaign against the republican and constitutional system, whether the suspects are active military or non-military personnel, as long as they are involved in the coup d'état" must be tried by military law. ”

Li Zanhe was not ambiguous, and immediately came up with an opinion, which was also Zhao Bei's opinion.

"Not bad. That's what I thought too. ”

Li Yuanhong nodded, but the staff of the presidential palace were silent and did not comment on this, but at the same time, they were also very glad that the president at that time had a resolute position and refused to lead the staff team to the Capitol, otherwise, they would never be able to sit here and drink tea comfortably.

While everyone was sitting here drinking tea, a confidential official from the presidential palace walked in and handed a copy of the telegram to Li Yuanhong.

"Mr. President, this is a telegram from the Central Asian Military Region just now, and all the officers and men of the Central Asian Military Region unanimously support the central government's use of force to quell the rebellion. The confidential officer said.

Li Yuanhong picked up his glasses. He put on the bridge of his nose, calmed down, and then carefully read the transcript of the telegram.

"The commander of the Central Asian Military Region is still Wu Zhenhan, right? This man has a position, and he is loyal to the center. Now that Lu Jin, the minister of national defense, is plotting a rebellion and has been arrested in the barracks, the Ministry of National Defense lacks one, and the person in charge is better to transfer Wu Zhenhan back to Beijing to take over the post of chief defense minister. ”

Li Yuanhong put down the telegram and asked Li Fanhe.

Li Bianhe shook his head and said: "The Central Asian Military Region is the most powerful military region in our country, and its strategic position is quite important, and the personnel transfer there must be cautious and cautious. ”

"So, who is the right tune? Tell me about it. ”

Li Yuanhong turned his head to ask those staff, but he was actually asking Li Suhe.

Everyone was really interested, and immediately moved their eyes to Li Bianhe.

Li Zanhe pondered for a moment. said: "Since Zhao Zhenhua commanded the troops to quell the rebellion. Now it is most appropriate for him to preside over the Ministry of Defense, and by the way, he can also clean up those fish that have slipped through the net in the Ministry of Defense. ”

This was said a little explicitly, and Li Yuanhong twisted his brows. He really couldn't imagine that Zhao Bei was so anxious to control the Ministry of Defense, but now that he himself is a fish on the chopping board of Commander-in-Chief Zhao, he can't call the shots.

"Okay, just ask Zhao Zhenhua to act as Minister of National Defense, and this appointment will take effect from now on. After the National Assembly resumes, it will be submitted to the National Assembly for review. ”

Li Yuanhong was also very knowledgeable, and immediately made his position clear, which made Li Suo very satisfied, and the president's aides also sighed.

This chaos is now truly over. (To be continued.)
