Passing vehicles must undergo the strictest checks, and those in old military uniforms must carry documents to pass through the checkpoints, which is a necessary security measure and is also an order from the Presidential Palace.

The state of military control has not yet been completely lifted, and there is no sign of retreat of the Wehrmacht units in the city, but the troops in the counties and towns around Gyeonggi have begun to concentrate in the city, and the city's defense has been fully strengthened.

There is also a military checkpoint guarded by a platoon of Wehrmacht troops, passing vehicles must stop and be inspected before passing through the checkpoint, vehicles without passes can only take a detour, and only motor vehicles with passes can enter the city through Desheng Gate.

A convoy of five cars came to the Deshengmen military checkpoint, also stopped, waiting to be inspected by the soldiers, a person walked from the first car, took the pass and said a few words to an officer on duty, and then raised his arm and pointed to a car behind him, the officer on duty immediately stood in awe, and under an order, all the soldiers on duty immediately lined up on the side of the checkpoint, saluted with guns, and saluted when the convoy slowly drove past the checkpoint.

"Who's that, sir?"

When the convoy had passed, a sergeant asked the officer on duty, and the answer was simple, but one that made the sergeant stand in awe.

"It's Commander-in-Chief Zhao sitting in that car."

Just when the soldiers were annoyed that they couldn't see the commander-in-chief's dignity with their own eyes, Zhao Bei, who was sitting in the limousine, also looked back, and at this time the sentry post could still be seen, but the faces of those officers and soldiers were no longer clear.

"The officer who led the team looked like Kazura was young. I don't know you. ”

Cui Yi, who was sitting next to Zhao Bei, was very strange, asked, and looked at the sentry post through the rear window.

"It's called prestige.

”

Zhao Bei was a little proud, and said back, no more words are needed, the actions of those national defense officers and soldiers have already proved his status in the hearts of the soldiers, and he even thinks that even if Qin Sihu does not show that pass, the officers guarding the sentry post will not hesitate to let him into the city, just like those active soldiers of the National Defense Force who looked at the wind and shadow last time, in the eyes of these officers, Zhao Bei is still their leader.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Beicai is full of confidence in the victory of this political struggle, and when he entered the city today, he did not bring more guards, and he also believed that as long as he wanted, he could find armed guards everywhere in the city for himself. There is no need to "show off your might" at all

What's more, this time in Beijing, Zhao Bei did not come to fight with others, but to mourn a deceased deceased, who unfortunately passed away is Zhang Han, vice president of the Republic of China, just last night. Zhang Bang died in the hospital at the age of 80, according to his age, this should be regarded as the end of his life, but in fact, Vice President Zhang's death can also be regarded as an accident, and this accident seems to be caused by Zhao Bei, if it weren't for his speech in Congress, Vice President Zhang might still be alive and well.

In that speech, Mr. Zhao made it clear that he would run for the next presidential term and would do everything possible to urge Congress to change the law after winning the election, not only to expand the electorate and give veterans the right to vote, but also to pass a new tax legislation that would tax estates and property transfers, and tax them heavily.

Obviously, this speech was extremely unfavorable for the chaebol, and Zhao Bei's actions were also quite provocative in the eyes of the chaebol. This has made many chaebols feel worried, but this Vice President Zhang is a big chaebol, so angry and anxious, he was so angry that he actually passed out in the parliament, and after being sent to the hospital, the work was delayed for two days. In the end, he was declared dead and died.

Some people say that Vice President Zhang was angry to death, and the person who was angry with him was a certain politician who planned to "rob the rich and eat the big".

Late last night, when he learned that Zhang Sai had died, Zhao Bei was also somewhat surprised by this matter. He is not specifically targeting Mr. Zhang, but the entire chaebol class, so he is somewhat uneasy in his heart.

At the same time as getting the news of Zhang Sai's death, Zhao Bei also learned that on the occasion of his death, Zhang Sai dictated a will, in addition to explaining the division of the estate, he also made arrangements for political affairs, and at the same time, he also invited some old acquaintances to organize a funeral committee to take care of his funeral affairs, and this long list of funeral committee members has Zhao Bei's name.

Zhao Bei also understood Zhang Bang's intention to painstakingly arrange this list of members of the funeral committee, and he wanted to capture him. Pull Zhao Bei into the funeral committee, and through this means, Zhao Bei can no longer think about what is going on with the Zhang family, so as to leave plenty of time for the Zhang family to arrange the aftermath.

It is not impossible to refuse to participate in the funeral committee, but you need to risk public opinion, after all, death is great, in the traditional belief of this country, people die like lights go out, and no matter how many grievances there are before, they should be written off.

Zhao Bei really can't refuse to participate in this funeral committee, since these days, all his painstaking arrangements are to enhance his gentlemanly aura, many times, politics must say one thing and do another.

It must be admitted that Zhang Sai's hand is very clever, but unfortunately, Zhao Bei never intended to launch an offensive against any specific target, Zhao Bei's goal is the chaebol as a whole, not a certain wealthy family, Zhang Sai is a chaebol, but he does not represent the chaebol, he is just a member of the chaebol, if Zhao Bei specifically attacks him. Inevitably, there are some subordinates, and Zhao Bei disdains this.

Although he was a little angry about being used, Zhao Bei still decided to accept Mr. Zhang's last request, in fact, even if there was no will, Zhao Bei would come forward to help take care of Mr. Zhang's funeral, after all, when Zhang Cha was the director of the Water Resources Administration, his contribution to the country's water conservancy was also considerable, and he even paid out of his own pocket to build rural water conservancy facilities. Such a person, of course, is a chaebol, but at the same time he is also a well-known philanthropist.

It's just that Zhang Sai's actions are small good, not big good, what Zhao Bei wants to do is great good, the most taboo for politicians is to lose big because of small things, sympathize with Zhang Saigui and sympathize, but Zhao Bei will never change his original intention because of Zhang Bang's death, he must play this political game to the end.

After dawn today, Zhao Bei left the Xishan Mansion with his wife, escorted by the guards, all the way south, arrived in Beijing, and then entered the city through Deshengmen, and then went straight to Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Sai is a native of Jiangsu, after serving as vice president, he bought a piece of land opposite the Jiangsu Hall in Beicheng, and set up a villa with a combination of Chinese and Western walls, when there is something to go to the presidential palace, when there is nothing to do in the villa with his family, usually this villa has also become a place where Zhang Sai meets guests, the villa has a very beautiful Western-style garden, and because of this, it is called "Zhang Yuan" to distinguish it from Shanghai Zhang Yuan, which is usually called "Champion Garden" because Zhang Han was born in the late Qing Dynasty.

When Zhao Bei's convoy arrived at the Zhuangyuan Garden, there was already white silk hanging high in front of Zhang's mansion, and even the Jiangsu guild hall opposite was also full of white silk, and the guys of the hall were hanging white lanterns under the command of the steward, and the white lanterns of Zhang's mansion were already hanging on the main entrance, and there were housekeepers and servants wearing black gauze standing by the door, who were responsible for distributing black yarn to the guests who came to mourn.

Although he knew that the death of the master was inseparable from Zhao Bei, this etiquette could not be less, not to mention Zhao Bei

Just the old old mouth... 8 (Yushu Cave) A different experience! The members of the Chuan Ji Right Funeral Committee, the public is designated by Zhang Sai, therefore. The housekeeper Yazhu Beidi No, he hurriedly greeted him in person and handed over the black yarn to the funeral committee.

"President Li has also arrived?"

Zhao Bei glanced at the side of the street, recognized Li Yuanhong's special car from those luxury cars, and also saw several guards from the presidential palace.

"Half an hour ago, he was joined by Mr. Tang Shaoyi, the premier, Mr. Xu Shichang, the former president of the Republic of China, Mr. Wei Zifeng, the president of the Guangdong General Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Tang Hualong, the president of the National Assembly. They had already offered incense before the spirit, and were now speaking in the east chamber. ”

The housekeeper said the name of Yiba, as if he wanted to tell Zhao Bei that Zhang Saizhi had friends all over the court and all over the world.

But Zhao Bei just nodded, not caring about the housekeeper's self-cleverness, and then asked expressionlessly.

"Mr. Xu Shichang is also here? When did he come? ”

"I came here early this morning, and Mr. Xu was not in good health, but he did not speak in the east chamber at the moment, but rested in the back hall

The housekeeper replied, and then invited Zhao Bei and his wife to enter Zhang's mansion, led them to the spirit to offer incense, and worshiped the Zhang family who were guarding in front of the spirit, and then the housekeeper led Zhao Bei and his wife to the east chamber, and the guard captain Qin Sihu also led several guards to follow, but stopped in front of the door and stood with the presidential guard.

"Senator Mr. Zhao Bei has arrived!" There was a guest guarding in front of the east chamber, and when he saw the housekeeper leading Zhao Bei over, he took the post, and then shouted, and then the voice of Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, came from the room.

"Zhenhua, you're here too, come in, let's talk about how to deal with this Ji Zhi's aftermath."

Zhao Bei walked into the east chamber, glanced at it, and found that the members of the funeral committee were sitting in the room, and there were no family members present, so he immediately turned around and told his wife a few words, and Cui Yi said goodbye and left.

Zhao Bei sat down on Li Yuanhong's right hand, and the servant served tea, and then listened to Li Yuanhong chatting with Tang Shaoyi there.

Yuan Xiangcheng died that year, the corpse was also in the temple for a period of time, and then moved back to Henan Xiangcheng for burial, Yuan Xiangcheng is the president, enjoy the state funeral treatment, the funeral expenses are partially subsidized by the government, Zhang Jizhi died in the vice president's office, or not the vice head of the central government, should enjoy the state funeral treatment, I mean, it is better to follow the procedures of Yuan Xiangcheng's funeral, first store Zhang Jizhi's corpse in the temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and prepare properly. He moved south and returned to his hometown in Jiangsu for burial. The government sent personnel to escort them all the way, so they must be well protected

After talking to Tang Shaoyi, Li Yuanhong faced Zhao Bei again and said, "This idea of mine, I don't know if Zhenhua needs to add something?" ”

Zhao Bei shook his head and said, "The president has arranged it very thoroughly, and I have nothing to add." However, since the vice president has died, the candidate to succeed him needs to be selected as soon as possible. Zhang Jizhi recommended Mr. Fu Yantian to succeed him in his will, and I have no objection, I wonder if President Li Da approves of this successor candidate? If approved, it can be immediately submitted to the National Assembly for consideration. ”

"Recognized. Tan Zu'an was born in a scholarly family, and was also admitted to the Jinshi that year, knowledgeable, and what is even more rare is that as a Jinshi is very enthusiastic about the constitutional cause, when the revolutionary army rose, Zhenzu'an responded positively, won a piece of praise at home and abroad, after the realization of the republic, between the north and the south, Fuzu'an was disheartened, and once retired, but later when the war broke out between the north and the south, he actively advocated peace negotiations, and was a temperamental person, and because of this, after the death of Yuan Xiangcheng, when the north and the south negotiated peace, Some people have also proposed that Tan Zu'an should be the prime minister of the North-South coalition government, but because the war situation is developing rapidly, this discussion is settled. Now Tan Zu'an is a member of the House of Representatives, and at the same time a celebrity in the business community, with enough prestige and qualifications to be qualified for the post of vice president

Li Yuanhong's words are basically nonsense, what kind of character is Bu Yantian, no one knows better than Zhao Bei, what kind of role did Yantian play in the "Hunan and Guizhou Incident" back then, Zhao Bei also knows very well, this person, that is, a standard political speculator, has no own principles, who is strong follows whom, but at any time he is ready to stab the master in the back, such a person is praised by Li Yuanhong to the sky, which is strange if there is no cat.

"Oh? Back then, someone actually recommended Yan Yantian to be the prime minister of the North-South coalition government? I don't know whose recommendation it was?.

In fact, after the United Front won a great victory in southern Henan, it sent a peace delegation headed by Song Jiaoren to Beijing to negotiate with Xu Shichang, who succeeded him as president of Beiyang, and it was in this negotiation that Xu Shichang nominated Zhang Han as the premier of the coalition government, and as a bargaining condition, Song Jiaoren nominated Chen Yanhui, and this matter was not agreed by Zhao Bei in advance, which was Song Jiaoren's own opinion, although it was not the direct cause of Song Jiaoren's assassination. But it undoubtedly played a role in fueling the fire. Since then, Zhao Bei has deliberately alienated Chen Yantian politically, and it was not until he announced his resignation four years ago that Zhen Yantian turned over in the political circles, and was promoted by Zhang Sai's gang of the Junxian faction in the late Qing Dynasty and became a member of the National Assembly.

"I don't know about this, I've heard people say that

Li Yuanhong shook his head, whether it was true or false, I'm afraid only he knew.

Zhao Bei immediately became frightened, Song Jiaoren had already died. It is unlikely that Li Yuanhong will learn this inside story from that channel, so there are not many suspects left, considering that it was Song Jiaoren who recommended Xu Shichang in person that Yan Tianxiao contacted Xu Shichang and is now in this garden, then, this truth is almost ready to come out.

Xu Shichang announced his separation from politics a long time ago, but now it seems that this spiritual idol of the Beiyang Consortium may no longer be able to bear loneliness, and what stimulates him? Zhao Bei seems to be able to guess a few points, but I am afraid that it is also because of his speech in the Congress, Xu Shichang is also a big chaebol, and he is the spiritual idol of the Beiyang Foundation, such a person is impossible not to be moved in the current situation, after all, once Zhao Bei once again grasps the central power. It is a huge threat to the entire Beiyang consortium.

The current situation is very clear, several political consortia that originally had huge entanglements of interests are rapidly approaching, and Zhao Bei can guess what he wants to do.

This is politics, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, when former friends may threaten their own interests, it is the time when the two sides go to confrontation, and former enemies may also come together because of dealing with common enemies, politics has no morality, no righteousness, and some are only interests.

Zhao Bei sat there, listening to the funeral committee members discuss the aftermath, but his mind was on the future action plan is small, this action is not launched, once launched, the emphasis is on a net, I am afraid that none of the people here can run, considering the political division, some of them can be "cold treatment" and some people must be "heat treatment", but all those who are not with Zhao Bei must be cleared up, this is also politics. Cut the grass to remove the roots.

It's a pity that the funeral committee members here are talking about other people's funerals at the moment, but they don't know what everyone is here. There was one who was thinking about how to arrange their funeral, a political funeral.

It's a real political contest that will determine the country's political course for years to come, and the winner takes all, with the loser completely out of the political scene.
