Chapter 124 Betrayal (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

Sitting in the living room in an inconspicuous high-ranking civil servant's residence in Fumin Lane, Changqing District, Nanjing, Zha Zhiqing stared blankly at the telephone and repeatedly recalled the conversation that had just ended.

"Sit!"

The voice on the phone, though very respectful, was distinctly distant.

"According to the information provided by the insider, tomorrow, the Advisory Council will unanimously adopt the "Guidelines for Domestic Products", and at the same time, the refusal of the "Treaty on the Restriction of Chinese Workers in the United States" will be formally discussed."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, it was the information provided by L1, and since Z1 returned to Nanjing, they have held several talks on these two issues."

"Is there any news from Your Majesty? Is it His Majesty's permission, or is it ......"

"Bureau, according to the information we have so far, the Council has decided to bypass His Majesty......"

“……”

"Bureau, do you have any orders?"

"You're smart and you should know what to do......"

After putting down the phone, Cha Zhiqing's whole person fell into thoughts, as the director of the Imperial Investigation Bureau, he was directly ordered by His Majesty, and he could not be said to be in a high position, but at this moment, in the face of this matter, he found that he was not only helpless, but he could not even concentrate on thinking.

Is it because you can't handle it yourself? No!

Don't you want to deal with it?

Raising his head and checking Zhiqing's eyes, he cast his eyes on the portrait of His Majesty hanging on the wall, he should repay it with loyalty! Loyalty to His Majesty and to the Empire, this is originally my own belief! But why is it so hesitant now?

At this time, the phone rang again, Zha Zhiqing took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his palms, and picked up the microphone:

"Please."

"Bureau!"

This polite voice seemed to be his own secretary.

"Just now, Director Sun ordered the transfer of a group of investigators, it seems that something happened in the military prison in Qinghai?"

"Oh?"

His words made Zha Zhiqing stunned for a moment, and then he understood the reason.

"I already know about this, is there anything else? ……”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he put down the microphone, and after putting down the microphone, Cha Zhiqing sat down on the sofa heavily, looking at the portrait of His Majesty with a blank look.

Is this a betrayal of Your Majesty? Looking at His Majesty in military uniform on the portrait, Zha Zhiqing couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart for a while.

In the past, when I was on a mission, in order to maintain the stability of the empire, I could easily "make evidence", letters, photographs, etc., as long as they were conducive to court trial, I would make them, and the current country could not withstand any wind.

Can ...... now Why do you seem a little hesitant when faced with this?

Even......

If you don't tell Your Majesty in advance, Your Majesty will have to face the fact that the Council is getting rid of its status as a "decoration", and if there is a conflict between the Council and Your Majesty, will it cause instability in the national situation? The answer is a no-brainer, but for some reason, it is difficult for Zha Zhiqing to do what he can easily do in the past.

Why is this happening?

Closing his eyes, Zha Zhiqing remembered that since the "Shanghai Treason Case" occurred, he still had some things that the Investigation Bureau had done in order to achieve his goals, many of which were carried out with the tacit consent of His Majesty, and for His Majesty, he needed to let those people go to prison and be controlled, so he acquiesced to all this, and even hinted at some things implicitly.

After His Majesty's wishes were fulfilled, all the yīn plots were carried out by himself and the Investigation Bureau, what was he most worried about all along?

The bird is hidden in the bow......

If Your Majesty really becomes the emperor of the traditional Chinese Chrysostom language, then sooner or later, Your Majesty will no longer need herself, and then where will she go? The Bureau of Investigation has done too many things since its establishment, and once those things come out, they are a blow to the empire and to His Majesty's reputation......

Thinking of this, Zha Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a chill! may be a student of His Majesty, but Zha Zhiqing believes that with what he does alone, sooner or later, His Majesty will definitely attack him.

"The Intelligence Agency is staring at itself!"

Opening his eyes slightly, looking at His Majesty on the portrait, Zha Zhiqing smiled bitterly, and he threw all his loyalty, but in the end, he ...... Should I find a way to protect myself?

Overthrow Your Majesty?

Before this idea even came up in his heart, Cha Zhiqing immediately dispelled it, no matter how much it was his turn, even people like Yuan Shikai had to send troops in the end, let alone himself. ,

Can......

Pondering, he picked up the phone again, but after picking it up, he pondered for a while, and finally put down the phone again.

A few hours later, Zha Zhiqing looked at his pocket watch, three o'clock in the evening.

"Why do you have to get involved in this right and wrong, why can't it be simpler? ……”

But this is only a temporary psychological struggle. After a while, Zha Zhiqing was already dressed and sitting behind the desk with a cup of tea. Handcuffs and pistols lay on the desk. This is not a dispensed pistol, but a Browning pistol, and in the Investigation Bureau, the vast majority of agents use Browning pistols that are easy to carry, and the pistol on the desk was a gift from Zha Zhiqing from the foreign foreign firm that undertook the import of firearms from the Investigation Bureau last year.

Looking at the xiǎo clever Browning pistol on the table.

Zha Zhiqing opened on the table and wrote down the information he had now, and then analyzed this information, to be precise, what kind of trouble he would bring to himself if he did not report this matter to His Majesty, and what kind of impact it would have on the political situation.

Sitting behind his desk, Zha Zhiqing began to sketch out in his mind and pencil in his own way, what kind of situation the incident might turn into. In the process of combing through and speculating, Cha Zhiqing did not let go of any details, nor any possible impact, and even considered what measures His Majesty would take to deal with those councilors who were no longer obedient.

It is never easy to do intelligence analysis, especially when speculating on the possible impact of a piece of intelligence, in order to be able to guess every detail as much as possible, for a few xiǎo hours, he has been lying on his desk, constantly speculating on all kinds of possibilities.

Finally at dawn, Zha Zhiqing finally identified two possibilities, and in the end there will only be two possibilities.

…… In the office of the other garden, early in the morning, after entering the office, Chen Moran was behind his desk, flipping through the daily intelligence briefings, and on the side of the desk, there were also a large number of newspapers, every day Chen Moran would give himself a few xiǎo hours of time to look through these newspapers, as the emperor of the empire, he was responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials throughout the country, and the newspaper would always reveal a lot of information, such as a reporter's report on a certain official**, after seeing the report, You can send investigators to investigate the problem of that official at the first time, and only with zero tolerance can you eliminate.

At this time, Zhang Jing, director of the General Bureau of Imperial Intelligence, was standing in front of his desk, and he stood motionless in front of the office according to his habit.

Finally, after Chen Moran finished reading the briefing, he raised his head and looked at him and asked.

"Is there any information that wasn't mentioned in the briefing?"

Chen Moran knew that every time Zhang Jing personally sent an intelligence briefing, it often meant that outside of the briefing, there was some information that needed to be reported orally, and that kind of information was actually ......

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jing nodded, this is exactly what he intended.

"Oh!"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Chen Moran propped his elbows on the table and looked at Zhang Jing.

"Your Majesty, based on the information we have so far, there is a good chance that the Council will ......"

When reporting, Zhang Jing subconsciously glanced at His Majesty, and he understood that his report might make His Majesty furious.

"Are they ready to betray me?"

Without waiting for Zhang Jing to finish speaking, Chen Moran took the initiative to speak, laughed at the same time, and immediately became serious again.

Listening to His Majesty's words, Zhang Jing's heart tightened, His Majesty is still ......

"Your Majesty, if you make ......"

With a slap on the table, Chen Moran stood up.

"You remember!"

Without the angry rebuke he imagined, Chen Moran, who stood up, left the desk and began to pace in the study.

"They don't think I'm going to make a constitution, do they? Why? Why are they trying to bypass my attempt to unilaterally pass the decision, ostensibly, they are for the country! But in reality? They are for power! To seize power! ”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Moran's voice became more and more serious as he spoke.

"They know that very well, very clearly. So I'm not going to compromise, or I'll be cornered and have to do something ......."

I don't know why Chen Moran didn't continue, he understood that those people were bī doing something they didn't want to do the most, didn't they know that they could tolerate some things, but they would never tolerate them to put themselves on a dead end.

"Sometimes, we have to do something despite not wanting to." ,

As he spoke, Chen Moran began to repeatedly consider the plan that could be adopted in his heart, if he was really ready to do that, would it cause any irreversible consequences?

What is Your Majesty going to do?

Looking at His Majesty pacing around in the study, Zhang Jing couldn't help but worry about those councilors, could it be......

"What do you think of me transferring the army to Nanjing today?"

For no reason, Chen Moran spit out a sentence, a sentence that he couldn't even think of.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jing chose to bow his head, is His Majesty really ready to do this? If the army is transferred into the city, then Your Majesty is showing them an attitude, and Your Majesty will never mind using force to solve some problems, perhaps...... Perhaps His Majesty will dissolve the Senate, and perhaps even arrest the Senators.

"Your Majesty, most of the councilors are celebrities, if you ......"

Lowering his head, Zhang Jing said slowly.

"I'm afraid it will cause instability in the empire!"

Nodding, Chen Moran did not deny this, but after being silent for a while, he asked again:

"However, now the Senate is making some decisions!"

What kind of decision was made? It is nothing more than the relinquishment of power, at least in part, by the Bī himself, and the Senate is using this opportunity to wrest power from its own hands, and before it was constitutional.

"Before the constitution is made, I must have enough power, and only then can China avoid some mistakes."

"Yes...... Your Majesty,"

Zhang Jing lowered his head slightly and continued.

"If there is a conflict with the Council, it is very likely to cause destabilization in the country, after all, those people ......"

"Those people are celebrities, and they have a lot of influence over the people! If they don't support me, it's likely that the people will lose trust in me, right? ”

Zhang Jing's words made Chen Moran smile coldly, and then cast his eyes out the window.

"Now that we have defeated Japan, the people have enjoyed national pride for the first time, and I believe that between those people and the emperor, the people will choose the emperor over those so-called celebrities!"

"But, Your Majesty, you have to think about what might happen!"

Zhang Jing only replied with a simple sentence.

After a moment of silence, Chen Moran continued and said:

"Now, maybe at a juncture, maybe there will be a lot of people who support me, and there will be people who oppose me, right?"

This time it was Zhang Jing's turn to be silent.

"If they are for the sake of the country, I may be able to tolerate it, but we must see that those who are trying to oppose me ......"

After a moment of silence, Chen Moran changed his name.

Maybe it's a bit serious, but their starting point is only for power, it's the only starting point! This cannot be tolerated! ”

Is it their opposition that cannot be tolerated, or is it their seizure of power? For a while, Chen Moran himself couldn't tell the difference, but he understood one thing, if he really let himself send troops, I am afraid that it would be really difficult for him to give that order, there are many times, you can think in your heart, you can say it, but you really have to do it...... Hard!

"Your Majesty, you created the Empire."

"So it's my duty to lead the empire to strength undisturbed, isn't it?"

But now there are people who are trying to interfere with themselves! They are interfering with themselves for various purposes, trying to wrest power from themselves.

"Is it this morning's meeting?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Moran frowned and asked, then stood up and straightened his shoulders.

"When?"

"Nine o'clock! As always! According to the information we have, they will adopt the "Domestic Product Guidelines" today. By the afternoon, perhaps they will have a discussion about the refusal of the Treaty on the Restriction of Chinese Workers in the United States......"

"First of all!"

Chen Moran took it and said.

"It's always been like this, maybe after noon, some people will come here and tell me how they are looking forward to sharing their worries for the king and the country!"

Sneering, Chen Moran could almost imagine what those people would say, they would say that their actions would be their own worries, it seemed that all the starting points were loyal to the monarch and the country, and there was no sī heart, but in fact? Why are they willing to take such a big risk and do not hesitate to bypass themselves to make some decisions, it is nothing more than to demand power from themselves by walking slowly.

"But they don't know that China's constitutional road is going fast, and it is easy to get into trouble!"

At this time, Chen Moran's voice seemed steady and quiet.

"So, I'm going to pour them a bucket of cold water!"
