Chapter 596: A Bloodless War
The argument of treating everyone equally, it has always been something that can be said, but it cannot be trusted. The pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info especially in the inner house, it is impossible to treat everyone equally. Taking the Zhao family as an example, Su Hanzhi could directly lift Zhao Guanhou's table, or directly beat him, but no one else could (although she never used this power).
Cheng Yue and Sun Meiyao can exert influence on the Shandong army to varying degrees, and Yuqing holds the secret force of the intelligence agency, which belongs to the different powers they have. This kind of authority itself also represents himself, his status in the inner house and his close distance from Zhao Guanhou.
Although Chen Lenghe is not in Shandong, he is the God of Wealth in Shandong, and her Zhengyuan Bank, in a sense, is one and the same as Shandong's financial funds. Part of the funds needed came from Shandong, and the profits fed back to Shandong, which means that she and Jensen hold the economic lifeline of Shandong from different angles. In this respect, Chen Lenghe's status as the finance minister is in no way inferior to Yu Qing, who controls the intelligence agency.
No matter how beautiful she was, Yuqing never took her seriously. First, it is a relationship, I have never met Zhao Guanhou, and even in a sense, Zhao Guanhou has come to this day, which is inseparable from Yuqing's help and support. Second, it is her identity, she has never forgotten that she was recognized by the Queen Mother as a goddaughter, accompanied by Lafayette to listen to the play, and discussed the characters of brothers and sisters with the emperor. Although the Dajin Kingdom no longer exists, the small court is still there, and he is still Gege. Third, she has children and daughters, and Leng He has nothing to do. Whatever the reason, after all, he didn't give birth to an heir. Therefore, when she finds an opportunity, she has to teach this Mrs. Matsue a lesson, so that she can understand who is the head of the family.
But Sai Jinhua's situation is completely different from Chen Lenghe. She is not a person in the house, and she has no interests with Yuqing, let alone infringing on her interests. The status is transcendent, and Zhao Guanhou has the name of sister and brother. In other words, she is destined not to enter the Zhao family's inner house and will not become Yuqing's enemy.
If you can't tolerate her, it means that you can't tolerate anyone, and this kind of behavior will inevitably touch Zhao Guanhou's bottom line, and Yuqing will definitely not do it. Therefore, although Sai Jinhua's speech may be harsher than Chen Lenghe's in content, he can't sneer at each other like he treats Leng He.
Moreover, Sai Jinhua socialized in the capital, but in fact, it was not as in the past, it was purely for his own gains, and at the same time, he also undertook the reasons of inquiring about intelligence for Shandong and collecting the trends of various countries. In terms of intelligence, he is also a general. Therefore, Yuqing did not get angry at her, but only asked:
"How so? The president still thinks about his imperial robe? He is already a great president, is there such a rule when he is the emperor? ”
"The rules are set by people, and they will naturally change from person to person." Zhao Guanhou opened his mouth and said: "Second sister must have heard something in the capital, otherwise she wouldn't have said this." ”
Sai Jinhua smiled, "It's not just listening, it's also watching." Let's talk about it first, since last year, the president has officially worshiped the sky. I used to be the man, but I won the top prize, and I don't understand this thing. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he sacrifices to the sky, which is forgivable. The president comes from the popular election, and he sacrifices to the sky, what is the matter? Besides, the president sacrifices to the sky, do you know what kind of statute is used? Pure water splashes the street, and the loess cushions the road, which is exactly the same as the travel of the Son of Heaven. Tell me what this pomp is for. ”
"Naturally, it is prestige, first of all, from the concept, let people accept the fact that the president is equal to the emperor, and step by step in the future, it will become logical to ascend the throne. Just like Cao Cao entered Jiuxi and was called the King of Wei. Step by step, it will be easy for his descendants to seek to usurp the throne. Not long after the establishment of the Gonghe, people have not forgotten Dajin's set of things, especially in the capital, and the legacy is even worse. These things may not all be resistant, and it is more convenient to do. ”
Sai Jinhua nodded, "What Guanhou said is very true, almost, that's what it means." In addition to this, the president made a large monthly payment and hired several advisers. These people are almost all known in ten grids. There are both Confucians and clans, so we won't mention it. Just one person, Xiao Dezhang! He has a husband (commonly known as a eunuch), Wen can't be a transcriptionist, Wu can't be a firefighter, which kind of consultant is counted? The president said that he was familiar with the rules and regulations and was a pillar of the country. Tell me, what statutes does he understand? ”
Xiao Dezhang was the head of Changchun Palace, and those who knew it were naturally court rules. Yuqing also remembered that Yuan Weiting had sent someone to Qingdao to invite Li Lianying to Beijing. It's just that Li is old and weak, riddled with diseases, and can't make the trip, so the matter is stopped. He gave up Li and invited Zhang, most of the time, to be in the presidential palace and enforce the rules in the palace, this idea is more obvious. She asked:
"Anything else?"
"Some of the president's advisers have also suggested that China should have a constitutional monarchy. It's a Citi Nation advisor named Goodnow. He has been pleading, and the president is the emperor. A few more examples are given. Prussia, Albion, Fuso, these countries all had emperors. If the president himself becomes emperor, the use of a responsible cabinet will not violate the original intention of the common people, and it is more suitable for the countries of the East. ”
Zhao Guanhou sneered twice, "The Yankee Civil War, the control of our country has declined, if we work hard at this time, we will work together at this time, and if we want to kill it back in the future, it will not be easy." No matter how thick its foundation is, it will take time to recover after such a battle. This time, it is better to make us mess up too, so that it is good for the Yankees. Of course, there is a big difference between a constitutional monarchy and a republic, and I can see it without politicians. The president can only be the emperor for ten years, but the father dies and the son succeeds. Among the provincial overseers, there are quite a few people of great talent, waiting for the period of ten years. Isn't becoming an emperor now equivalent to giving up their thoughts? As for the Cabinet of Ministers...... Today's cabinet is just a group of puppet piglets, and when there is an emperor, the status will become a monarch and a minister. These cabinet members, I'm afraid they can't even sell them for a price! ”
Su Hanzhi said: "The president is a person who understands, and he shouldn't do such a foolish thing." ”
Sai Jinhua snorted, "Sitting in that position, understanding people, will also become confused." The capital is a pit of right and wrong, a place of wind and clouds, from the former gold to the present, it has not changed. To be honest, I'm a little tired, I said Guanhou, if my sister closes the business, I will go to you, will you entertain or not? ”
"That's what I said, Shandong is my sister's home, how can I not entertain it? Songjiang there, Zhengyuan has your shares, Jinan has a sister's house industry, you can go anywhere. Why, if you are unsatisfactory in Beijing, who still doesn't open your eyes and provokes your sister? If there is such a thing, just say, I will come and do it for my sister. ”
Of course, Sai Jinhua knew that although Zhao Guanhou's foundation was not in the capital, if he took action to clean up some people, whether it was public or private, he would have sufficient strength. She shook her head
"Who has nothing to mess with me, the main reason is that staying in Kyori is boring. The business of Dongjiaomin Lane is very difficult to do, and my pomp and circumstance have to be maintained. Originally, I thought it would be good to pass this paragraph, but now I look at it, and I can't see the light. If it goes on like this, I don't know what year or month it will be over. The year of foreign devils is not good, there are fewer people who come to me to spend money, people have become picky, and business is too difficult to do. There are some local benefactors who are willing to throw money, but the matter is too big for me to get involved. ”
Chen Lenghe was grateful to her for relieving herself, and indirectly slapped ten squares, and asked at this time: "What is the matter, so that Sister Jinhua you don't want to get involved?" ”
Sai Jinhua smiled at her, "This matter has something to do with you." Isn't it true that you two goddesses of wealth entered Beijing, just to make a good show. Now it's the Cantonese bandits fighting the Huai Owl, the spirit officer fighting the God of Wealth, and the sky is dark, how can I be clean here? ”
She found a few newspapers and handed them to Zhao Guanhou, which contained limericks made by an anonymous person: Cantonese bandits and Huai Xiao set up the battlefield, and the two families were on equal footing; The cheapest is "Xinghua Daily", which has added hundreds of copies to its sales. The five-way God of Wealth will make money, Lei Gong caught Zhao Xuantan first, although the black tiger is majestic, he was also whipped by the spirit official!
Zhao Guanhou read these two limerick poems, and suddenly realized, "This is Yansun and people encountered, the situation is still not good?" It shouldn't be, these days, the sky is big, and the silver dollar is the largest. He Lao Liang is a famous God of Wealth, who issued public bonds and raised nearly 100 trillion yuan, how can he also be a meritorious man, so he will not be so embarrassed. ”
Sai Jinhua said: "It's not a five-way big case? On the surface, Wang Lingguan couldn't spare him, but in fact, it was related to the imperial system. Liang Yansun is an old courtier and the god of wealth, and he speaks openly, and he has committed the taboo of the president. You also have to be careful, although your relationship with the president is not as good as Lao Liang, but the current president is not the eldest brother-in-law of Yangshoutang and fishing alone. Everything always requires stability, and caution is the best. ”
Zhao Guanhou was not ignorant of this matter in Shandong, but because it was a political dispute and did not involve the interests of Shandong, he did not pay attention to it. As soon as Sai Jinhua said it at this time, he knew that the issue of the imperial system was also involved here.
Liang Shiyi is a Cantonese person, and he uses the township party more often, and he is a Cantonese bandit; And Yuan Weiting's mastermind, Yang Shiqi, is also his old minister from Long, who is a native of Anhui and is known as Huaixiao. Both of them are important ministers of the Yuan family, and there was not much conflict in terms of interests.
However, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and in the future, under the Son of Heaven, there will be no room for two household books. In addition, the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications, which Liang Shiyi controls, are eye-catching gold mines. The leader of the Hui people, Finance Minister Zhou Zhi'an, also coveted this fat and oily department. Based on interests, as well as the future position competition, the two sides are doomed to not be able to coexist peacefully.
If it is simply against them, Liang Shiyi can at least not fall behind. What really brought him down was His Royal Highness Yuan Keyun's attack on Liang Shiyi, as well as his own misconduct in words and deeds on weekdays.
Sai Jinhua was very disdainful of several sons of the Yuan family. "Among the several highnesses of the Yuan family, His Royal Highness Feiyao (Yuan Keyun's code name) has the greatest ambition, not only to be a model army, but also to be the prince. Let's not talk about the rest of the matter, let's just talk about building a model army. In the past two years, I suffered a loss in Henan, and I lost a lot of face. But his spirit is still there, and he still wants to engage in the army. To train soldiers, you need to have money, but Liang Caishen refused to raise funds for his model army, which naturally violated the taboo of His Highness. What is even more worrying is that Liang Yansun has publicly spoken in favor of the republic and against the imperial system. Now, even the president can't spare him. This time, the big case, on the surface, is the spirit official fighting the God of Wealth, but I am afraid that the Jade Emperor will make a move. ”
Yuan Weiting's eldest son, Yuan Keyun, once fell off the horse and broke a leg, and after active treatment by Prussian doctors, he finally became lame. He himself believed in Prussian medicine to the extreme, and refused to accept other forms of treatment, so he had to drag a stump leg and become his highness the sickle.
Wang Lingguan in the poem refers to Wang Hu, the envoy of the government, whose status is roughly equivalent to that of the imperial envoy of the left capital in the former Jin Dynasty. He began to participate in the impeachment of Zhao Qinghua, one of the key members of the Department of Communications and director of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway Bureau. It seems that it is just a small role, but as the so-called seeing the subtleties, playing this little trick is nothing more than a prelude, and the real goal is the big boss in the inner circle.
Zhao Qinghua's case was not big at the beginning, but immediately, it was supported by His Royal Highness Yuan Keyun, who created public opinion in the newspaper, and said that no matter who investigated to the end, he would not tolerate it. In the end, it affected the Jinghan, Jingsui, Shanghai-Nanjing, and Zhengtai Four Road Bureaus, together with Jinpu, which was called the Fifth Road Case. Deputy Minister of Communications, Liang Shiyi, and Ye Gongzhuo were also implicated. Because his name is Yuhu, he is whipped with a black tiger, and he refers to him as Wang Hu's impeachment and waiting for investigation.
At this point, Liang Shiyi also knew that the matter was serious, and bribed Sai Jinhua with a lot of money, hoping that she would follow Zhao Guanhou's path and dredge it on her behalf. She said:
"The president ostensibly said that he asked them to remove the Liang Caishen part of the impeachment. But these words sounded creepy, so the God of Wealth had no choice but to leave the throne, clear his sick leave, go to Cuiwei Mountain to take refuge, and hand over the Minister of Communications and the Bank of Communications. Speaking of which, he is also an old courtier and the arm of the president. Even he has fallen, little brother, you have to be careful, when the president asks you, what to say and what not to say, you have to know in your own heart. ”
Although Yuan Weiting did not show a clear intention to be the emperor, looking at the performance of the people around him, it can be seen that he himself will not be too disgusted with ascending the throne at least. Those who come to the top are accustomed to acting mischief with the people below, and they don't know about it to excuse themselves.
In fact, if the superior really doesn't want this to happen, as long as he gives an order, or directly opposes it, the matter can naturally be reversed. From his reshuffling of the cabinet and his attitude towards Liang Shiyi, it can be seen that the supreme throne has infinite attraction. Ten years is obviously not enough to meet Yuan Weiting's needs, what he pursues: eternity.
Based on this, it is possible for the president to become the emperor, and the republic may become a constitution, but it is absolutely impossible for the Yan clan to regain its former glory. Moreover, if the imperial system is restored, it is difficult to predict whether there will be a place for a little emperor in the Forbidden City.
At this time, Yuqing's original emotions turned into ice, and she smiled coldly, "The president, this is the sixth family who doesn't recognize it, and those who stand in the way refuse to stay." To look at it this way, if the crown marquis does not agree with him to be the emperor, he will still be unfavorable to the crown marquis? ”
Sai Jinhua's expression was very solemn, "I can't confirm this kind of thing, maybe things won't be so bad, maybe worse than that." Among the provincial overseers, there is only one Guanhou who enters Beijing to worship his birthday. Of course, this was invited by the president, and it would not be good not to come. But after coming, you have to be careful, today's capital is not as good as it was at the beginning. It has been two years since General Songpa entered Beijing, and he has never been able to leave. The seat in Yunnan has been let others sit on. In short, be careful and don't be in the limelight. Just listen to what the president says. Your relationship is not ordinary, but now the president is surrounded by many villains, and he is afraid that his words will be contrary to his ears, and it will be useless. Even relatives in the past, in front of the emperor, it is difficult to guarantee that they will always be consistent. Since people have come to the capital, the most important thing is to be able to go back. (To be continued.) )
