"Get rid of Liang Yansun? Absolutely not! Although Zhao Bingjun's eyes have been blurred, he still maintains enough sobriety on this major issue of right and wrong, "Although Zhao is not used to Liang Yansun's behavior, he is not so ruthless, otherwise it must be our Beiyang group that suffers, but it will make Sun Baixi, Li Songqing and others benefit." ”

Cheng Jingshi said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you think too much, no matter how humble you are, you will not be instigated to assassinate the secretary general of the Great Presidential Palace!" This is going to kill the head! ”

"And what do you mean?"

Cheng Jingshi said: "Didn't the president appoint Liang Yansun to be in charge of organizing the party? There is no implication of school inspection. As long as we let Liang Yansun fail, or lose his reputation in the process, the president will be greatly disappointed in him. In this way, you can take the opportunity to take your place! ”

Zhao Bingjun shook his head slightly: "The matter of forming a party is related to the election of the president, and the marshal is extremely concerned about it, and every move is under his control." If you know that we are indiscriminately meddling in ruining his good deeds, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to save our lives! Zhao has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and has also served as the chief of internal affairs, the prime minister of the cabinet and other important positions, and has long understood that fame and fortune are things outside the body, and life does not bring death and does not take it, so it is regarded as dung. If I throw away my great head for something outside of my body, won't the ghosts laugh at me? ”

Cheng Jingshi didn't know if this was a smoke bomb deliberately released by Zhao Bingjun or a delirium after smoking opium, but he was sure that this was by no means Zhao Bingjun's true intention. Therefore, he then persuaded: "Yes, yes, my lord, you have read all the affairs of the world and see fame and fortune very thoroughly, but you can't swallow this breath from your humble position!" If you want to say that the most deserving and most suitable person to be the prime minister in the country is none other than you, why did Tang Shaochuan, Sun Baixi, and Liang Yansun take away the prime minister position that belongs to you again and again? Moreover, in today's democratic republican society, the position of prime minister belongs to the public instrument of the world, and the whole world will chase him, and it should be won by the virtuous and capable. How can you give it to each other privately? And the incumbent is not from our Beiyang department, why do we have so many scruples? ”

Zhao Bingjun exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled miserably: "Yes, Qin lost his deer, the world will chase him, and those who are high-quality and fast will get first!" But why should we fight with others? was not as lucky as Tang Shaochuan and not as strong as Sun Baixi before, so he could only hate defeat; And at present, in terms of financial resources, grace, and age, Liang Yansun can't be beaten. Why should we fight with others! ”

Cheng Jingshi said in a low voice: "My lord, although Liang Yansun is a few years younger, and he has recently won the eyes of the president, and with the convenience of controlling the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications, he has quite strong financial resources, but he is not infallible. As long as we work properly. Even if he can't become the prime minister, it is enough to make Liang Yansun sink into the sand! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Bingjun's tone was very vague.

Cheng Jingshi's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, it may take a lot of hard work to do something, and it depends on the right time and place, but it is really easy to corrupt one thing!" For example, now Liang Yansun formed a party to win over Kuomintang legislators, intending to compete with Sun Baixi for the position of prime minister. Why will it take three or five months from now to the final accession to the throne? But if we want him to be unable to get his hands on the Cabinet, we will have no effort!

"Didn't the president promise to allocate 900,000 yuan to Liang Yansun as the founding fund for the party? There is no doubt that Liang Yansun will use this public money to buy off Kuomintang legislators. With your means, you will definitely be able to easily gather evidence of the power and money transactions between them. When the time comes, we will send the evidence to the media and newspaper offices controlled by the New China Party, and guarantee that Liang Yansun will be discredited, and naturally he will not be able to win the cabinet. This is the easiest way to do it! ”

Zhao Bingjun put down his cigarette gun and shook his head: "What kind of crime is bribing parliamentarians and trading power for money?" Not to mention the members of the National Management Yuan, I am afraid that they are as innocent and holy as Sun Baixi, and they have done a lot of similar things in private. How could it be possible to bring down Liang Yansun with this? If the presidential election is delayed because of this, and the marshal is furious, we will not be able to escape the involvement after a thorough investigation. ”

Cheng Jingshi said: "My lord said very much, now the whole country is bribing public banks, trading power for money, and bribing parliamentarians is indeed not a big crime, but these are all carried out in secret, and no one dares to stab them on the table." Especially those members of Congress. They were all elected by the people after making countless promises, and they were more cautious. Once the stolen goods are exposed and cause public outrage, it will definitely be difficult to protect itself. As the other party to the matter, can Liang Yan and Sun An be alone? As for the great president, he pursued it afterwards. He should first suspect that Sun Baixi secretly made a stumbling block. As long as we do it seamlessly, we will never be traced. ”

Zhao Bingjun said: "You think things are too simple! Since we did it, it will definitely leave traces, how can it be seamless? Besides, if the commander wants to be suspicious of someone in his heart, does he need any evidence to fail? ”

Cheng Jingshi lowered his head and pondered silently for a moment: "That was the easiest way just now, and it is inevitable that the net will leak and swallow the boat." There is another idea for the humble position, isn't Liang Yansun and Tang Shaochuan irreversible? Not long ago, Tang Shaochuan, who was at the end of his rope, accepted Sun Baixi's invitation to serve as the head of civil affairs of Guangdong Province, and he thought that there would definitely be an exchange of letters between them. We only need to fabricate Tang Shaochuan's secret persuasion in some tabloids and Liang Yansun's courteous repayment, and then pass it to the ears of the president, which will definitely make the president suspicious of Liang Yansun. As the Lord just said, if the President wants to be suspicious of someone, does he need any definite evidence?

Moreover, Liang Yansun has always had a close relationship with the leaders of small societies such as the Hidden Society and the Jiyi Society, and it is hard to imagine that there is nothing greasy in it, and there will definitely be a lot of trespassers in the process of forming the party. As long as we collect carefully and weave a little, we can make a good article on this. As long as we persevere, we are not afraid that the president will not be suspicious of Liang Yansun. As long as Liang Yansun leaves office, you are the most suitable person to take over as the leader of the political party, and it is only natural that he will succeed as prime minister! ”

Zhao Bingjun nodded slightly: "This idea is a bit interesting, it does not leave traces, but also moisturizes things silently, and does not delay the business of the handsome." Of course, how to implement it, let Zhao think about it for a few days! ”

As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped, and it turned out that he had already arrived at the door of Zhao's mansion while speaking.

————

Zhao Bingjun will not say how to deal with Liang Shiyi for the time being, and said that after Liang Shiyi was authorized by Yuan Shikai, he officially set up the banner of the "Civic Party" and began to spend silver dollars to recruit troops and horses everywhere, and the main targets of the recruitment included politicians of all sizes, famous scholars, old bureaucrats in various places, large business owners, and compradors. The most important target is of course the members of Congress, and the silver bullet offensive is also particularly fierce, with a semi-public market that all members of the party will be given a monthly allowance of 200 yuan to squander.

Suddenly, the name of the Civic Party appeared on the front pages of newspapers day by day, and it spread all over the country.

Strangely, despite its popularity, the Civic Party does not have a formal constitution or even a clear political opinion. In the "Political Opinion Book" issued by them, they declared: "It is the political power of the Party to implement political unity and promote the welfare of the people with the power of the state." Announce policies at any time and seek the sympathy of the majority of the people. In other words, although our Civic Party does not have any specific political views, we can advocate whatever political views you want.

What is even more strange is that after the founding meeting of the Civic Party, it claimed to have its headquarters in Beijing and branches in various provinces. However, no one, including the main backbone of the Civic Party, knows where this Beijing headquarters is located in the capital, because the Civic Party has never had a formal party headquarters from the beginning to the end. And that's not all. After holding a meeting, the Beijing headquarters elected a number of directors, counselors, councilors, and secretaries, but the party leader was not elected, and Liang Shiyi, the long-awaited candidate for party leader, only served as a director.

Isn't it strange enough that a political party has no party constitution, no political opinions, no headquarters, and no party leader?

This strange phenomenon immediately aroused a lot of discussion throughout the country, and everyone generally believed that this Civic Party was actually Yuan Shikai's royal political party, and its purpose was to compete with Premier Sun Yuanqi in the Congress, and as for the vacant position of party leader, it was naturally reserved for Yuan Shikai, so even Liang Shiyi, secretary general of the Great Presidential Office, did not dare to encroach on it, and could only serve as a director of the party.

However, as a bystander, Sun Yuanqi knew that the reason why the Civic Party was established was because the presidential election could not be held for a long time, and he kept making small moves, in this case, Yuan Shikai couldn't sit still, and decided to jump out in person and fight with himself to see the red! Therefore, the first task of the Civic Party is not to draw up the party constitution, finalize political opinions, establish the headquarters, and elect the party leader, but to use all means to win over enough legislators and elect Yuan Shikai as the official president as soon as possible.

Although the Civic Party was established in a hurry, it was menacing, and Sun Yuanqi did not dare to underestimate it at all. In addition to organizing manpower to criticize and denounce the Civic Party in various newspapers and media, criticizing its corrupt acts of bribing legislators and trading power for money, and ruining the reputation of the Civic Party in the National Assembly and the people, it also launched a battle with the Civic Party for Kuomintang members in the National Assembly.

Originally, there were nearly 300 members of the Kuomintang legislators, but some time ago they fled to the south to participate in the second revolution, and they were shot dead and arrested by Yuan Shikai on the charge of "colluding with bandits, plotting civil strife, and making a notorious remark...... In this way, there are less than 200 Kuomintang legislators who remain in the capital. These people have become the object of contention between the New China Party and the Civic Party.
