Chapter 136: Meeting (II)
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
Zheng Yuanqing's face was slightly cold, and he said without yin or yang: "Your Excellency Marshal, if you have a different opinion, you can put it forward, but don't you feel that you have lost your identity by making such a disrespectful statement?" ”
"Of course I have an opinion!" Xue Cangyun sneered,
"I don't need to say more about the mess in the Northwest Territory, who is the initiator, and who should be more responsible for it, right? Now you still want to do it, what do you want to do? Do you have to be willing to die all these soldiers who fought bloodily for the empire and were born and died all their lives? ”
He does have reason to be angry, Marshal Qin Weigeng has already handed over power and retired early for the sake of the face of some people present! And Feng Linbo and others were also stripped of their military power and were idle! The military has made enough concessions in order to take into account the so-called big picture.
But these damned politicians still refused to give up, and even brought up the old matter again at this plenary meeting, not only to deprive the old marshal of all his honor as a soldier, but also to discredit him and spend the rest of his life in prison! How could he endure this?
Yu Hongbo, a member of the ruling council of the new Fuzheng and minister of the Imperial Information Industry, squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Cangyun a few times, and said slowly:
"Your Excellency, you can't say that! If it weren't for the improper deployment of troops by the Ministry of Defense and the ineffective operational command of the front-line generals, how could the many Dominions in the Northwest Territory fall so easily? Although that place is not directly under the territory of the empire, the people who live there are also the people of my Huaxia Empire after all! ”
"Tens of billions of casualties, something the Empire has never had in hundreds of years! How can such a heavy loss, such a serious crime, be offset by simply being dismissed from office? ”
A gloomy voice then sounded: "Yes, Qin Weigeng's negligence is a crime against the entire empire, he is not worthy of being called a qualified soldier at all, I agree with His Excellency Zheng Yuanqing's proposal, these imperial sinners must be sent to a military court, and a public trial must be held." Declare their crimes in front of hundreds of millions of citizens of the empire. Then execute the execution to set an example! ”
This time he spoke as a shriveled old man dressed conservatively and old-fashioned, with dark spots on his pale face, a pair of antique tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his hooked nose, and a cold glint in his cloudy eyes from time to time, who was the newly appointed Minister of Propaganda of the Empire.
Xue Cangyun was furious, pointed at his nose and scolded, "Zhuang Chenglin." Don't bring your tricks of turning black and white upside down and confusing right and wrong here! I don't eat your set! If it weren't for you damn bastards, Lao Tzu would have already served the royal court of those beasts by now! ”
Zheng Yuanqing slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Xue Cangyun, what kind of attitude do you have? The victory in the Northwest War was the result of the concerted efforts of the entire Empire. It's not entirely your military's work! Don't think that if you win a few small battles in the northwest, you can be proud and empty-eyed! ”
Zhuang Chenglin said coldly: "Your Excellency Marshal, you have only been in office for a few days, do you want to use power for yourself and despise the authority of the Supreme Ruling Council?" Could it be that you still want to build an independent kingdom, and you want to do whatever you want when you have military power in your hands? ”
This kind of accusation can not be described as vicious, and the gazes of many people in the conference room looking at Xue Cangyun suddenly became subtle.
It seems that the recent limelight of the newly appointed military first person who has won a big victory has indeed been a little excessive, and has even overshadowed his predecessor. Plus he has a stronger personality. is in the prime of life again, and he will definitely be a more difficult character than Qin Weigeng in the future.
Let such a person stay in such an important position. Is it really in your long-term interests? Many big people secretly pondered in their hearts.
Xue Cangyun trembled with anger, and scolded angrily: "Old immortal thing, I know that you and the master behind you don't like me, if you want to get Lao Tzu down, it's up to you!" The next time those beasts come, you dog mongrels won't be able to feed them! I want to see what the hell will happen to you......"
The conference room exploded, and many people angrily accused the marshal of being rude and disrespectful.
The person who dares to slap the table and scold the supreme power center of this empire, I am afraid that it has not been in hundreds of years, but Xue Cangyun, who participated in the plenary meeting of the ruling council group for the first time, has set such an earth-shattering precedent.
Tang Xudong shook his head silently, and a trace of regret appeared on his face.
Wei Zhenhua looked at the audience coldly, and those who dared to reprimand the marshal were all relatively junior figures, a few of them were new substitutes this time, and more of the old members, including the rest of the archons, remained silent. Several members of the military had worried faces on their faces.
Wu Chenyu frowned and said, "Your Excellency, you have lost your temper!" This is not a teahouse tavern outside, as a member of the Ruling Council, please watch your words and deeds! ”
Yu Hongbo said coldly: "If you really can't control your emotions, you might as well go out to calm down first, and when you figure it out, come back for a meeting!" ”
Xue Cangyun sneered: "Let's go, deal with you pickled and filthy people, Lao Tzu TMD is fed up!" ”
He picked up the military hat on the table, put it on properly, then kicked the chair open, and under the gaze of many indifferent, disdainful, and gloating eyes, he walked proudly towards the closed door of the conference room not far away.
"Wait!" Just as he reached the door, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
Xue Cangyun stopped, turned slightly, and looked at the Supreme Archon without speaking.
Qin Qiyuan closed the document in his hand unhurriedly and said calmly:
"Your Excellency, your words and deeds just now have indeed violated the discipline of the Supreme Ruling Council, and this is not the behavior that a qualified Imperial soldier should have, so ......"
Zhuang Chenglin, who was accustomed to observing words and feelings, immediately spoke: "I agree with His Excellency Qin Qiyuan's opinion, Xue Cangyun's words and deeds are indeed not in line with his current identity, so I think it is necessary for us to reconsider ......."
"Huh!?"
The Supreme Consul's eyes suddenly became as cold as a knife, and his incomparable momentum burst out, staring coldly at the reaction of the Minister of Propaganda.
Rao is this guy is cunning and cunning, and the city government is deep, and he can't help but shiver under this cold and piercing gaze, and swallowed the rest of the words back with some timidity.
Qin Qiyuan's incomparably sharp, condensed eyes slowly swept over the faces of the people present, and everyone who was seen by him couldn't help but avoid his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.
There was silence in the conference room.
After a moment, the voice of the Supreme Archon sounded slowly: "So. I also ask you, Your Excellency, to return to your seat. Keep attending! Because this is the power given to you by the Imperial Constitution, and it is also your duty and obligation! ”
Zheng Yuanqing was slightly startled and wanted to speak, but after seeing Qin Qiyuan's calm expression, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Yu Hongbo secretly glanced at Wu Chenyu, and the prime minister of the empire looked calm. Unhurriedly sipping the already cold tea in the cup, he did not react to the changes in the outside world.
Xue Cangyun pursed his lips, silently gave a military salute, and walked back to his seat with a steady pace.
With just a few words, the Supreme Consul regained control of the meeting.
Wei Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, originally Qin Qiyuan didn't plan to say anything. He had a chance to show his affection, albeit at some risk. But as long as the marshal's position in the future can be slightly biased towards himself, it is not a loss-making deal, and of course the current result is not bad.
Qin Qiyuan's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said slowly:
"After all, Marshal Qin Weigeng has dedicated most of his life to the empire, and there is no merit and hard work, the empire should not forget his contribution, and this time he can retire and rest. It's also a go-get! So. There is no need to bring it up again! ”
"As for the negligence of Feng Linbo and others, there is a reason for it. Not a crime of war! In addition, when the Imperial Legion began to counterattack, these people also made a lot of contributions. So I think it's better to give them another chance to atone for their sins. Well...... The war with the Northern Hell is about to begin, so let them go south when the time comes! ”
"I wonder what you think?"
Wei Zhenhua immediately said: "Such an opinion is very fair, I have no objection!" ”
Tang Xudong then said: "I have no objection!" ”
Xue Cangyun glanced at the Supreme Archon deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I have no objection!" ”
Next, the participants expressed their support one after another, but this time it was a veritable "unanimous pass".
Qin Qiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! That's it! In addition, I have already discussed the military budget plan for the next year of the empire, as well as the package of armament expansion plans proposed by Marshal Xue Cangyun on behalf of the military out of consideration for the future security situation around the empire, and I have already discussed it with His Excellency Wu Chenyu and His Excellency Wei Zhenhua, and I feel that such a plan is very necessary and in line with the current and long-term interests of the empire! ”
"Time is of the essence, so I propose that you approve these two budget allocation plans and implement them immediately, what do you think?"
"Seconded ......"
"Seconded ......"
"I also second......"
……
Jiang Family Mansion.
In the intensive care unit, a group of senior doctors are busy around the large bed in the middle.
The fourth heir of the Jiang family was lying upright on the bed, staring blankly and dementedly at the pendant on the ceiling, letting out a few unconscious smirks from time to time, saliva kept flowing down the corners of his mouth, and the snow-white sheets were already wet.
Several middle-aged and elderly people with majestic bearings stood beside them, their faces extremely unkind.
A group of henchmen of the eldest young master Jiang Yanyun knelt at the door tremblingly, their faces were pale, and they didn't dare to come out.
A middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a general's uniform asked coldly:
"What the hell was going on last night? Who did the young master plot against? What were you all doing? I want to know all the causes and consequences of what happened! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
