Chapter 154: Weakness
In any case, this temporary meeting was successfully convened under the chairmanship of Chen Mingren. It's just that the topic of the meeting, which was supposed to discuss the distribution of power, became the theme of choosing a leader first as soon as Shen Yuqing left.
A country cannot be said to be without a king, and a family cannot be said to be without an owner. Whatever you do in China, you always need a leader, and only when you take the lead can all the rest of the work be carried out smoothly. And Guizhou originally had a leader, but as soon as Shen Yuqing left without saying goodbye, the leader's seat became vacant.
Naturally, the selection of the leader has become the first thing.
"I propose that Master Fan serve as the new governor of Guizhou, and Master Fan is in line with such a candidate as the governor of Guizhou in terms of qualifications and prestige." Chen Mingren knew this very well, and after quickly throwing out the topic, he turned the conversation and looked directly at Fan Wei and Master Fan, and directly pushed the position of the governor of Guizhou to Fan Wei.
Looking around, there are Yang Xincheng and Zhao Dequan from the New Army in the council hall, Ren Kecheng, Tang Eryong, Hua Zhihong from the constitutionalist faction, Zhang Bailin, Cai Yue, Ping Gang from the Self-Controlled Society, and representatives of various forces such as the local widow Guo Chongguang, if he really wants to choose one person from these people to serve as the governor of Guizhou, Chen Mingren's heart is naturally more biased towards Fan Wei. Fan Wei has no door and no faction, but his ability to deal with things has followed Shen Yuqing for so long, so naturally he will not be bad, Fan Wei's personality, Chen Mingren also appreciates it.
"No, no, Brother Shoucheng, where can I go, I am just a master, how can I be qualified for the position of governor." Fan Wei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the position of the governor would fall on him, and after reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
Fan Wei knows very well that serving as the governor of Guizhou in this specific period is tantamount to sitting on the fire pit, and he does not have the strength to deal with the suppression of everything, even if he becomes the governor, I am afraid it will not be good.
"This, I think Master Fan is very suitable for the position of governor of Guizhou." Guo Chongguang was also stunned, but after reacting, he hurriedly spoke. Compared with the Chen family serving as the governor of Guizhou, he naturally wants a familiar person to hold this position.
"Yes, I think Master Fan is very suitable for the position of our Guizhou governor." Ren Kecheng glanced at Chen Mingren and agreed.
"President Guo, President Ren, I can't do this, I can't-" Fan Wei, who was resigning, didn't expect that when Chen Mingren's proposal came out, someone echoed it, and after seeing that it was Guo Chongguang and Ren Kecheng, he hurriedly resigned.
"I don't think it's appropriate for Master Fan to be the governor, right?" Fortunately, at this time, there was not a voice of agreement, the self-made society, no, now that the revolution has been successful, the self-made society can already be renamed, it should be called the party. Cai Yue, who is from the party, can't help but raise different voices.
"After all, the governor is a military position, and I think that the candidate for the governor should still choose a military officer to hold the position." Being looked at by the people, Cai Yue turned his head to look at Yang Xincheng: "In this regard, I think Yang Biaotong, who graduated from the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, is the most suitable position for this position. Before we in Guizhou had no reading ability, Yang Biaotong had a very high reputation among the new army and Lu primary school students, and I think it would be quite appropriate to choose Yang Biaotong as our governor of Guizhou. ”
After Cai Yue finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun, the two brothers of the Chen family, and then quickly retracted his gaze, as far as he knew, Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun were both born in the wild road, and at most Chen Lijun was a graduate of Lu Primary School. This qualification naturally cannot be compared with Yang Xincheng.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Bailin also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, I also think that Yang Biaotong is particularly suitable for this position, after all, he is now the highest commander in the Guiyang New Army, and many people in our self-made school also admire Yang Biaotong. Zhang Bailin naturally followed his teacher's steps, at this time, people with a discerning eye knew that the strongest strength in Guiyang was the Pingyue Chen family, if the Chen family was allowed to control the military power again, where would their status in the party go.
Fortunately, after all, the Chen family is from outside Guiyang Pingyue group training, there is no foundation in Guiyang at all, although the strength of the people present is not as strong as the Chen family, but once united, the Chen family will not be able to brave the anger of the public to revolutionize again, right?
Yang Xincheng didn't expect that Cai Yue and Zhang Bailin of the party would suddenly choose him, but he was not a novice to officialdom, so he quickly glanced at Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun, and knew the reason why Zhang Bailin chose him.
"This can't be, the biggest contributor to the uprising should be Mr. Cai Yue and them, I think it's better for Mr. Cai to choose someone to hold the position of governor." If he hadn't been defeated by Chen Liqun before, Yang Xincheng might have been proud because he had studied military affairs in Yueben, but he was defeated by Chen Liqun so easily last night, and he knew that his strength was not enough. Chen Liqun is obviously better than him, if he wants to choose himself as the governor in front of everyone, he will not have that cheek. So Yang Xincheng immediately resigned.
"I think it's quite appropriate for Brother Shoucheng to serve as the governor of Guizhou." As soon as Yang Xincheng's voice fell, Fan Wei, who was relieved, hurriedly looked at Chen Mingren and said: "After all, before Lord Shen left, he specially instructed Brother Shoucheng to preside over our meeting. ”
"This, no, I can't." Before Fan Wei's words fell, Chen Mingren hurriedly waved his hand, Chen Mingren knew that his current ability was naturally incapable of governing a large province in Guizhou, so he didn't even want to resign.
For a time, the huge council hall, because of the position of the governor, was actually pushed around, as if the head of a province had become something that everyone did not want. However, even if there was a mess in the council hall, no one elected Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun, who were the first contributors to the uprising, to be the governors, the two brothers were not selected, and the two were not in a hurry, there was no trace of worry on their faces, they just quietly watched Zhang Bailin and others push around for the position of governor.
"Let's be quiet, I don't think it's a way to go on like this, so let's just choose a governor, a governor, the governor controls the military power of our Guizhou, supervises the prime minister of Guizhou's civil affairs, and manages Guizhou just right, if you think it's not enough, we can also set up a Privy Council that overrides the governor's mansion and the governor, and the Privy Council inside is served by our people here, if the governor or the governor can't decide something, the Privy Council will meet and decide." Just when the council hall was in chaos for a while and nothing was elected, Zhang Bailin suddenly stood up and said a proposal.
As soon as this suggestion was spoken, everyone could not help but fall silent. And Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun, who were originally silent, couldn't help but look up at Zhang Bailin.
There is no doubt that Zhang Bailin's proposal is the best choice at present, and everyone present does not want to see their political enemies as leaders, and now set up a privy council above the governor and governor, and elect all the people here, in this way, it can be regarded as arranging the interests of all parties. It's just that in this way, the interests of the Chen family, which originally had the greatest interests, will be distributed by others.
"Bailin's proposal is good." Zhang Bailin's teacher Cai Yue thought for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and said while nodding: "If the Privy Council is formed, it is like the Congress of the United States, the president is the president, but if the president wants to do anything out of the ordinary, he will be restricted by the Congress." ”
Ren Kecheng, Guo Chongguang, Yang Xincheng and others couldn't help but fall into thinking, of course, while thinking, they couldn't help but look at the three fathers and sons of Chen Mingren's family.
"How? Everybody? The council room was silent for a long time, and Zhang Bailin, who made this suggestion, couldn't help but hold his breath.
"The proposal is good, and the formation of the Privy Council will ensure the proper functioning of all aspects." Ren Kecheng couldn't help but nodded.
"If there is no other good choice, Mr. Zhang's proposal is a good idea." Guo Chongguang thought for a moment and also spoke.
"I have no opinion." Yang Xincheng also nodded when he saw Zhang Bailin looking over.
After a statement, everyone said that if there was no other better way, Zhang Bailin's proposal was good, after all, it took care of the interests of all parties, and no one could refuse. However, in the end, they stopped at the place where Fan Wei and Chen Mingren and others.
"I think it's a good idea." Chen Lijun was silent for a long time, and finally stood up and spoke: "However, everyone, the head of a province is a big matter after all, and Mr. Zhang Bailin's proposal seems to have been improvised by Mr. Zhang." If you really go on like this, aren't you worried about loopholes? Chen Lijun's eyes swept over the people in the conference hall one by one, and when his gaze swept away, Yang Xincheng, Zhang Bailin and others couldn't help but panic.
The discussion just now was so heated that they all thought that Guizhou was already in their hands, but Chen Lijun's words brought them back to reality. Discussion is discussion, if the Chen family is not satisfied with this distribution of benefits, their family's 4,000 regular army is not vegetarian.
"This, yes, after all, this is a big deal, I propose, everyone just go back and think about it today, and how about making a decision tomorrow?" Fan Wei also felt that Zhang Bailin and others had overstepped their authority just now, and Chen Lijun immediately echoed Chen Lijun's opening.
"Yes, yes, this matter is not something that can be concluded in a while, Bailin might as well go back and refine your idea?" Feeling the instantaneous change in the atmosphere in the conference hall, the people who came back to their senses changed their words one after another, and agreed to Fan Wei's proposal in different colors.
Everyone was also carried away by the heated discussion just now, and after coming back to their senses, they all realized that if they wanted to succeed in taking the throne, they still needed to solve the behemoth of the Chen family. So the first meeting after reading in Guizhou ended in a hurry under the situation that everyone had their own ghosts. (To be continued.) )
