Chapter 740: Forming a Party (I)
"Guan Hui, you can also hand over this plan for applying for an election and establishing a political party to Lord Wang." Ouyang Xuan said.
When Guan Hui heard this, he immediately showed a faint smile, obviously feeling more satisfied. This Guan Hui is Ouyang Xuan's secretary, that is, the secretary of the Executive Yuan, but now he is happy because of Ouyang Xuan's resignation, which is simply surprising.
"Guan Hui, I've always been curious, when did you directly obey Lord Wang's orders?" Ouyang Xuan asked.
Guan Hui was immediately startled, and then asked, "Dean Ouyang, how did you know?" ”
"At your level, can't I see it? You also report my every move to Lord Wang on a regular basis. But I just don't know when you obeyed Lord Wang's orders. Ouyang Xuan said.
Guan Hui finally said: "That is, less than half a month after I became your secretary, Lord Wang secretly called me to meet, and asked me to tell him your every move regularly!" But if you know me, why do you keep me? ”
"Because I know that Lord Wang will not trust me absolutely. Even if I replace you, maybe the next secretary will still be like you. If I keep changing secretaries, I'm telling Mr. Wang that I don't plan to listen to him. What's more, Lord Wang is already generous and did not directly interfere with me. To say that he gave me so much power, it is impossible that no one will supervise me. That's weird if there's no one to supervise. Maybe many people think that there is no suspicion of employing people, but as a hero in troubled times, how many can really do it without suspicion of suspicion? The vast majority of heroes in troubled times are used by people who are suspicious and suspicious, and Lord Wang is no exception. On the contrary, not only do I not think Lord Wang is bad. On the contrary, it is very good, there are few emperors in China since ancient times who can do so generously. If it had been the emperor of the past, maybe I would have moved my head a long time ago. Even he realized that the emperor with absolute power would end in his generation, and the power of the emperor in the future would become less and less. But he did not choose to resist, did not think about how to continue the power of the monarch. This is already very enlightened. What do I have to say no? Ouyang Xuan said.
Ouyang Xuan said next: "You have also followed me for a few years, and then you can be released." Taking advantage of the last few days of my tenure, I can be considered to have used this power for the last time. When the time comes, the deputy governor of a province in the country, there may still be a chance. ”
Ouyang Xuan then began to make arrangements after his abdication, first of all, he wrote in his capacity as the premier, saying that his term of office had reached and that he should re-elect the head of the executive. And Ouyang Xuan's term of office actually arrived a few months ago, and it stands to reason that the election should have been held a long time ago. But there had been a war for a few months before, and no one took the election bill seriously at all. Since ancient times, lawmaking has been one thing. It is another thing that it may not be able to be implemented.
Although the so-called election bill was enacted at that time, everyone also knew that without Wang Guorui's support, no one would have become the premier. So in everyone's minds, they still thought that Wang Guorui had made a decision, so everyone also shelved this election bill and didn't take it seriously.
But at present, it can be used, anyway, since Ouyang Xuan's term of office has arrived, then he can use this reason to get him out. This is a means to maintain his face and get him out of the way. If Ouyang Xuan accepts this term of office for five years. Then he immediately chose to get out, so he could be considered a safe soft landing. If once he wants to fall in love with the stack does not go. Then maybe don't think about a soft landing at all, just let him look good, at that time it was really going to fall out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a future election of the prime minister after the founding of the country, and you can all form your own party to participate in it at your own discretion!" Ouyang Xuan said.
When those old subordinates of Ouyang Xuan heard this, they immediately said, "Lord Ouyang." We've got your back! The first prime minister of the founding of the country is none other than you! ”
"Yes! Lord Ouyang, we all support you! "Lord Ouyang, when the time comes, I will elect you to go up and continue to lead us!" "Lord Ouyang. We all hope that you will continue to lead us! "Lord Ouyang, you are our Bismarck of China!" "Back then, Bismarck made great contributions to the establishment of Germany, and you are our Bismarck of China, shouldn't you be the first chancellor?" ……
"Bismarck, I'm afraid I'm going to end up like Bismarck now!" Ouyang Xuan said.
Many people may know about the great achievements of Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of Germany, but few people know about his end. Even if Bismarck contributed a lot, but in the end, after Wilhelm II ascended the throne, he inevitably suffered the result of rabbit death and dog cooking. Since ancient times, the greater the courtier, the more unlucky the end of the game. People like Bismarck will not end very well in the end, strictly speaking Bismarck is already good, he was born in a good era. If it were China in the past, an iron-blooded prime minister like him, who had such a huge influence and managed the affairs of the imperial court for decades, would probably end up with a loss of head and even implicate the family. Bismarck was born in a time when he had advanced a lot, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II just told him to resign and get out, and did not kill him.
Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly now when he heard his subordinates call himself Bismarck of China. The people who are called Bismarck don't seem to end well! The Japanese Okubo Ritsu was called the Oriental Bismarck back then. However, Okubo Ritsu's ending was assassinated, but Emperor Meiji gave it a good ending, which can be regarded as a state funeral. Okubo Ritsu's seniority is higher than that of many of the current Japanese veterans, and he was killed by the "enemy" anyway, and if he lived, he might have to be crossed by the Meiji Emperor and demolished the bridge.
Wasn't Saigo Takamori, one of the three heroes of the Meiji Restoration, who was similar to Okubo Ritsu, also forced to launch a rebellion in the Southwest War in the end? In the end, he became a traitor. However, a few years earlier, Emperor Meiji had announced the Constitution, which granted him an amnesty and restored his honor. But man is dead, and it is obviously a hypocrisy to do such a thing. The only one of the three heroes of the Restoration that can be regarded as a relatively good ending, that is, Kido Takayo, died of illness. However, he was also "resigned" by Emperor Meiji during his lifetime.
Li Hongzhang, who was originally called the Bismarck of China, was also cheated by Cixi and them in the First Sino-Japanese War? The First Sino-Japanese War failed, and there are a lot of cats in it! In addition to the fact that the Chinese army was unable to fight, the main thing was that Cixi and the Manchu nobles were dragging their feet, and it could be said that the Japanese were using the strength of the whole country to fight against Li Hongzhang. However, Li Hongzhang did not get the support of the whole country, but he had hundreds of thousands of Huai troops without any follow-up support. In this case, Li Hongzhang's strength will also be discounted, and Japan has tens of millions of people behind the full support, and that part of the power can be used as several or even a dozen copies, and the gap is very large.
In the final Treaty of Shimonoseki, it was not Li Hongzhang who carried the black pot himself. Cixi also hoped to use the hands of the Japanese to help her deal with Li Hongzhang's Huai army system. Therefore, since ancient times, the more famous the courtiers, the greater the courtiers, and in the end, most of them have to be crossed the river and the bridge is demolished. The difference is only whether you can get a good death, and if you are honest, you may be able to get a good death. If you are not honest, you may not only die, but also your family.
Didn't Ouyang Xuan know? This crossing of the river and the demolition of the bridge has become a historical necessity, both in the East and the West. So he chose to be honest and stop thinking about unrealistic ideas. Ouyang Xuan wants to rebel? He himself did not have this self-confidence, because no one in the army could rebel. Anyone can feel that Wang Guorui's control in the army is extremely strong. Those who are not smiling, those who are dumbfounded, are all squad leaders at the grassroots level, and they all know that these people are absolutely blessed by Wang Guorui's orders. So no one can rebel. They didn't know that there was such a thing as a clone soldier in this world, but they knew that Wang Guorui had absolutely no less than tens of thousands of diehards under him, and they all served as grassroots squad leaders, so they indirectly controlled hundreds of thousands of troops. It is impossible for Ouyang Xuan to rebel, and it is impossible for anyone to rebel.
So Ouyang Xuan knew very well that Wang Guorui let him take the initiative to get out, and that was Wang Guorui giving him a chance. If he still wants to fall in love, then maybe he will be "killed" next, and his family will be affected.
"Then think about forming different parties for yourselves, and then go about your own ideas! As for whether or not you can become the first prime minister of the founding of the country through the election, that is your business. Ouyang Xuan said.
"Lord Ouyang, if you leave, then we are really going to disperse!" "Yes! Without you, we're all going to be divided! "Lord Ouyang, are you really not staying? Are you really going to sit back and watch us split into different parties? ”……
"You know what? The king just wants you to split, can't you see it? If you don't split, then Lord Wang won't be able to sit still! Ouyang Xuan asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while, obviously knowing something. They're not stupid, and they obviously know the problem. (To be continued.) )
