Chapter 1020: Winner Takes All Next

For journalists, the Kouyue of the A.D. Dou Year is a "news season, and all kinds of breaking news events are dizzying, and this is a turbulent time.

In just a few days, reporters from all over the country flocked to Beijing, and in just a few days, reporters were busy everywhere in all counties and towns around Gyeonggi, from county magistrates and town mayors to village farmers and security chiefs, and all kinds of citizens were the targets of reporters' interviews. Reporters are jumping around Gyeonggi in a variety of tricks, which makes government officials around the country very headache, but ordinary citizens are really eye-opening, it turns out that the freedom of news coverage can reach this level, no wonder those who are old like to show off in front of reporters, it turns out that it is through this means to increase popularity, in order to facilitate the future election of local councilors, these years, the parliamentarians are mixed with a familiar face, who is more famous, who is more likely to be elected as a member, of course, The candidate's financial status is also an important prerequisite.

Since the veterans are scattered in the counties around Gyeonggi to eat, and most of the reporters are concentrated in the counties around Gyeonggi, in addition to interviewing these veterans, many reporters also plan to interview the former president of the Republic of China, Zhao Zhenhua, who is in a state of "semi-seclusion" in the Xishan Mansion, and try to attend the birthday party that is said to be very special, but unfortunately, Senator Zhao told reporters through his spokesman that he will not give any more public interviews until the National Assembly and the President have officially responded to the veterans' petition. As for the birthday banquet, the "purely private party" therefore refused the interview requests of most reporters, and only invited more than 20 well-known journalists to pay homage to the birthday as distinguished guests. Up to now, the newspaper reports on the grand occasion of the birthday banquet in the Xishan Mansion are only a few words, and there are not many photos, especially no panoramic photos. On-site interviews are said to be severely restricted.

The more they restricted their interviews, the more curious the journalists became, and they showed their talents. Trying to get a glimpse of the grand occasion of the Xishan mansion, a reporter from Nanyang even had the audacity to charter a training plane in a private aviation club on the day of the birthday banquet, and let the pilot pull him into the sky to go to Xishan for aerial shooting, which clearly violated the current military control order, and the airspace around Gyeonggi is still under close monitoring by the Air Force, so soon after the civilian training plane took off, it encountered two fighter jets on patrol missions over Xishan, and then was escorted back to the airport by the fighters. The pilot was detained, the journalist was detained, and even military intelligence was said to have intervened in the ensuing interrogation to find out the true purpose of the journalist.

The fact that a reporter's chartered plane rampaged through the no-fly zone and that there was no one in the small eye is in itself very valuable news, but compared with the more newsworthy news now, the case of the reporter forcibly breaking into the no-fly zone is not worth mentioning.

The day before yesterday, the death of the eighty-year-old man was like throwing a bomb in a pond that was not peaceful, and the waves set off can be compared with the veterans' petition action, after all, Vice President Zhang died in office, and the reason for his death was very special, he was "angry to death".

"Angry death" This is the original words of a member of the funeral committee of Vice President Zhang, and that member is not an ordinary person, but Senator Zhou Xuexi, he is an important member of Zhang's funeral committee, and the members of this funeral committee are not ordinary people, President of the Republic of China Li Yuanhong, political premier Tang Shaoyi, financial department Tingbi, former President Xu Shichang, Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun, Senate Speaker Tang Hualong, Finance Minister Wang Yongjiang, former President Zhao Zhenhua, Minister of National Defense Lu Jin, Master of Chinese Studies Zhang Taiyan, Xiong Chengji, leader of the Constitutional Party of the Second Republic of Lanfang, and Yang Du, Senator of the National Assembly, said, "This is a very long list, in which politicians account for more than half, and celebrities in the business world divide the remaining places.

Zhou Xuexi didn't say who "died" Vice President Zhang, and people can only guess, some people say that Yang Du was angry to death, because Yang Du had a physical conflict with Zhang Taiyan at the birthday banquet in Xishan Mansion, but Yang Du was a senator of Congress, which was really out of line, and Vice President Zhang on the sickbed didn't know where to learn about it, and after shouting a few "political scum", he drove west.

It is also said that Vice President Zhang was angry with Li Yuanhong, the legitimate president of the Republic of China, because Vice President Zhang opposed President Li Da's dispatch of National Defense Force troops to Beijing to maintain order, and he believed that the troops of the Ministry of the Interior alone would be enough to control the situation, although the petitioner burned Vice President Zhang's special car. However, Vice President Zhang always believed that the two sides should adopt peaceful means to resolve the contradictions, rather than complaining, and that the Danwu soldiers could not use force, and similarly, the government could not use it, so Li Yuanhong's order to dispatch national defense troops to Beijing was the main reason why Vice President Zhang was seriously ill and died.

Considering that Vice President Zhang's car was snatched by veterans and burned, then. It seems understandable that the rumor that Vice President Zhang was angry with a veteran.

More speculation, however, is about the relationship between Vice President Zhang's death and Senator Zhao Zhenhua's speech to Congress, with many insisting that Vice President Zhang was hospitalized because of that speech, in other words, that the former president of the Republic of China was angry with the current vice president, not the current president's responsibility.

Finally, this speculation seems to be very reasonable, because Senator Zhao's speech in the Congress, the most eye-catching is the proposal on inheritance tax, he made it clear in the Congress in front of the radio microphone that once he is elected as the next president, he will go all out to promote the revision and formulation of relevant laws, will impose a high inheritance tax on those rich and rival the chaebols, and use this new tax source to improve the welfare of the majority of the people, and increase the relief of poor people, this is not only a tax on inheritance, Moreover, it is also a tax on property earnings and behaviors, so as to plug the loopholes in the law to the greatest extent.

Vice President Zhang is a chaebol, and one of the few big chaebols in the country right now. Not only does he have control of the property of many of the properties under his name, but he also controls that. Although in recent years, due to his advanced age, he has actually stopped directly managing the affairs of enterprises and conglomerates, but no one can deny that he has a tremendous influence on the Tonan Consortium. Once you die, you will leave behind a staggering fortune.

Therefore, there is also a rather ridiculous saying among the people, that is, Vice President Zhang's sudden death of his family saved a large amount of inheritance tax, after all, the inheritance tax is still just a concept, and has not yet officially passed the legislative process.

No matter what the people say now, the fact is that Zhang Sai, a famous champion industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty, died, and several members of the funeral committee of Vice President Zhang are rumored to be suspects who may be angry with Vice President Zhang, although there is some black humor, but people can't laugh After all, the current situation is too complicated, the Gyeonggi area is calm on the surface, but under the calm surface is an undercurrent surging small people are somewhat worried, which can be seen from the trend of rice prices in Beijing, these days, The price of rice has risen by 20%, which is obviously the most intuitive impression of the current situation.

According to the recommendations of the funeral committee, the Zhang family decided to send the coffin to the temple on the outskirts of the city today, and when the situation stabilizes, the Zhang family will help the coffin go south and return to Jiangsu for burial.

In order to ensure law and order in the city, traffic control was implemented again in some neighborhoods, and no vehicles were allowed to drive on the road, so reporters could only stand on the side of the road, carrying cameras, and waiting for the procession to pass by.

At nine o'clock in the morning, amid the sound of firecrackers and drums, Zhang's house opened the main door, and the housekeeper said, "The master is on the road." Then, the mighty team of moving spirits officially went out, slowly moving along the road, pulling the coffin is an extended luxury bulletproof car, this was the special car of President Li Yuanhong, and now the tractor used as a hearse There are dozens of various cars escorting the front and back, some are equipped with monks, some are equipped with bands, as for the members of the funeral committee, they are also sitting in those various luxury cars, with solemn expressions, wearing black yarn on their arms, and the people of Zhangfu are all wearing linen and filial piety, and their expressions are even more desolate.

This situation is just in time for Yuan Shikai's funeral, when Yuan Shikai also moved the corpse to the temple first, and then sent it back to Xiangcheng's hometown, but compared with that year, Vice President Zhang's funeral ceremony was "magnificent." After all, the country's industry has long since changed, but the folk customs have not changed much, and everything pays attention to pomp.

The crowd on the side of the road was black, and the reporters were busy taking pictures, they only noticed the luxurious formation, but they could not understand what was behind the solemn expressions of the funeral committee members, in fact, this political struggle has reached a white-hot stage with the death of Zhang Sai, and both sides of the open and secret struggle are gearing up, waiting for the final decisive battle.

I am afraid that this decisive battle can no longer be fought by peaceful means, violence is the easiest way to solve the problem after all, and the rest depends on which side is more violent, this political game. Winner takes all. The loser will completely withdraw from the stage of history. (To be continued.)
