90007983 Chapter 44 The City of Revolutionaries

There are a lot of people in the world. Lu Rong is just one of them, and it is precisely for this reason that he is doing quite well now.

As a person who knows the times, Li Yuanhong has also gone through a good journey recently. Although the last assassination had some adverse effects on his body and mind, at least for now, he is glamorous and proud, the president of the Senate and the members of the United Front General Committee, these positions are high and admirable.

If it is said that some time ago, because the National Assembly was divided into Beijing and Shanghai, Li Yuanhong's appearance was somewhat weakened, then now, Speaker Lai, can finally have a good time in front of all the members of the National Assembly.

The day before yesterday, Li Yuanhong led the last group of congressmen from Shanghai to Beijing to officially announce that the relocation of the congress had been completed.

Now, the first plenary meeting of the National Assembly after moving north has finally been successfully held, which is also the second plenary meeting of the National Assembly, and the first plenary meeting was held in Shanghai, which was before Zhao Bei officially took over as the president of the Republic of China.

The plenary session of the National Assembly was held in the capital, and since the National Assembly Building had not yet been Moki, the current meeting could only be held in the auditorium of the Beijing Normal University Hall, and there were two main topics: first, to review and vote on the budget of the central government of the Republic of China; Second, a vote of confidence will be held on the vice presidential candidate nominated by Zhao Bei, president of the Republic of China.

The budget report was submitted to the Congress by the Ministry of Finance, and before it was submitted to the Congress, the financial report had been sent to the President for review, and the President had made some revisions to it.

As for the matter of the vice president, this is also very important, since the last United Front launched the "parliamentary impeachment of the president" broke out, all members of the congress have realized the importance of the power in their hands, although they feel that they can decide the future of the president of the Republic of China, but at the same time they also think that the vice president is very important, once the president can not perform his functions normally, then, the vice president is the first heir to the presidential power, can avoid the political situation to the greatest extent into chaos.

According to the constitution, the vice presidential candidate is nominated by the President General 1 and the Senate of the National Assembly, the Senate nominees Zhang Han, the leader of the Constituent Assembly and the cabinet of Southeast Industries, and President Zhao Bei nominees the current Senate Speaker Li Yuanhong.

However, just after the official convening of today's Congress, Li Yuanhong announced that he had taken the initiative to withdraw from the vice presidential race, so today's Congress is not holding a vice presidential election, but a vote of confidence in the vice presidential candidate, as long as Mr. Zhang Sai gets more than half of the votes of confidence, then he is the vice president of the Republic of China, if he cannot pass the vote of confidence in the Congress, then, the vice presidential candidate will be re-nominated, and it is still the National Assembly and the president each nominated one person.

The vice president looks very high, but as long as the total dysprosium 1 is still on the stage. Well, this vice president is a foil in name only, and of course the Constituent Council understands this, but they still have high hopes for this vote of confidence in the vice president, because they feel that they may be able to find an opportunity to replicate the last "impeachment case of the president of Congress" once Zhao Bei is ousted from power, then. This Mr. Zhang Xiao is the new president of the Republic of China.

The idea is naïve. However, this is also a common problem in all young republican countries, and after the establishment of the republican system in France, the political situation in the country was very similar, and the mentality of the people was similar

。

The reason why Li Yuanhong took the initiative to withdraw from the vice presidential race was, according to his own words, because of his respect for Mr. Zhang Xiao. After all, Mr. Zhang was not only a leading figure in the late Qing Dynasty, but also Li Yuanhong was still his subordinate when the Constituent Council was established.

But under this high-sounding excuse hidden is a small but unspeakable political conspiracy, the reason why Li Yuanhong will withdraw from the vice presidential race, this is completely out of the personal planning of the president of the Republic of China Zhao Bei, in fact. From the very beginning, Li Yuanhong's candidacy for vice president was a trick that even succeeded in deceiving Xiong Chengji, a party councilor of the United Front.

Originally, Xiong Chengji did not agree with Zhao Bei's nomination of Li Yuanhong as vice president, because he knew the true face of this "revolutionary father" very well, and also knew the details of his "pre-battle uprising", but because Zhao Bei insisted on it, in the end, Xiong Chengji did not insist on his own opinion, but began to run for Li Yuanhong's campaign. Because Xiong Chengji believes that Zhao Bei can completely control this vice president of Lai.

But now, after the National Assembly was convened, Li Yuanhong actually announced that he was withdrawing from the vice presidential race, and this decision made Xiong Chengji, who was present, very surprised and shocked, because he did not know the truth of this matter. Therefore, when the National Assembly was adjourned at noon, Xiong Chengji hurried to the reception office of the presidential palace. handed over the special business card of Zhao Bei. Ask the fly to see the president.

When the business card was handed to the presidential palace, Zhao Bei immediately responded, sent Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, to pick up Xiong Chengji, who was waiting outside the presidential palace, in a car, and met the party councilor of the United Front in the small dining hall where he ate, and invited the other party to eat together.

This lunch is also the same as usual, very simple four dishes and one soup, and the four dishes are two meat and two vegetables. Since becoming the president of the Republic of China, Zhao Bei has rarely had time to go down to the army to eat "Pai Jia Dinner", but as a traverser from a small staff member, Zhao Bei also has no luxurious living habits, since he entered the presidential palace. He not only reduced the staffing of the canteen of the presidential palace, but also reduced the daily expenses of the canteen.

However, with Miss Cui Yi sitting opposite and eating together, Zhao Bei didn't feel that the meal was too monotonous.

Today, although there is a somewhat restrained "light bulb" on the side of the table dedicated to the president and the female secretary, it has not weakened Mr. President's appetite, on the contrary, due to the arrival of Xiong Chengji, Zhao Bei made an exception and asked Qin Sihu to buy a few Beijing-style braised vegetables on the street. This can be regarded as a fake public benefit.

However, Qin Sihu has not rushed back yet, so there are still four dishes and one soup on this table, which makes Xiong Chengji very emotional.

"Zhenhua, I can't imagine that you live so simply, as the head of a country, you only eat four dishes and one soup every day, if this scene is said, I am afraid that no one will believe it. If the officials of the Republic of China are like you, is this country still afraid of being strong? ”

Xiong Chengji picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks, looked at the soup on the ribs, and sighed.

Zhao Beige raised his head. looked at Xiong Chengji, smiled, and said: "Weigen, you don't have to feel it, we still have meat to eat, and among the current people, there are probably not many people who can eat meat every day." Even most of the landlords in the north only have the opportunity to make tooth sacrifices on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Originally, I could have been more austere, but I used to be a carnivore, and I couldn't live without meat for a day. When I wasn't president before, it was really not good to eat meat in front of the officers and soldiers, but now, since I am the president, I eat vegetarian food every day, otherwise, I will be hungry and bone-ty-skinned. Isn't that the reason? ”

"Flutter", the Cui Yi girl over there couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Bei's words were too humorous, Xiong Chengji also smiled bitterly, sighed again, put the sweet and sour pork ribs in the rice bowl with chopsticks, and then put down the chopsticks as well.

In my opinion, those officials are carnivores, they don't eat pork and beef, they eat the meat of the people! In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous saying, "Meat eaters despise", which means that those dignitaries are short-sighted. can't see the long term, so they can only get drunk and dream of death, and live a life of living one day at a time. But we revolutionaries are different, as long as we revolutionaries live, we have to fight for one day, for the rise of this country, now although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been overthrown, but the country is still sleepy, those bureaucrats are still drunk and gold-obsessed, where is the slightest bit of a faction for the country and the people? ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Chengji paused, took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his military uniform, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhao Bei.

These are some of the situations that the United Front has recently investigated, and the list of high-ranking cadres of the United Front who come and go in restaurants and restaurants every day, these people are only concerned with eating, drinking, socializing, and forming gangs with others, and the existence of these people is not beneficial to the United Front in the slightest, and moreover, their stance is wavering, and they may betray the United Front at any time. If the revolutionary organization is to be combative, it must be purged of those opportunists. ”

Zhao Bei glanced at the list, smiled faintly, and said: "The United Front is not a revolutionary organization, it is a club of politicians. Ajin, your original intention is good, but the approach is completely wrong, if you really do what you say, this united front will fall apart in a blink of an eye, faster than the end of Beiyang, believe it or not? ”

"What you said. I believe. Chairman Tao has said before that among the young revolutionaries, you Zhao Zhenhua's city government is the deepest and the farthest sight, and as for this political skill, I am afraid that he is also the best in the revolutionary party. Xiong Chengji nodded solemnly.

Zhao Bei was surprised: "What did President Tao tell you personally?" Is this a compliment, or a compliment? ”

Xiong Chengji smiled bitterly. He reached out and ate the list back, looked at it a few times, and then pulled a box of matches out of his pocket. Set the list on fire. Burned to ashes and watched the ashes fall to your feet

。

"Don't be too frustrated, Ajine. The country has sunk for far too long. It is impossible to rise in a short period of time, which requires time, patience, and opportunities, and all we have to do is to do our part well. You are now a member of the United Front Party, and I know that you can't hold down the old revolutionary party, especially those who came from the League, if you feel too tired. Why don't you go back to the army, I'll transfer you to the grassland to relax, anyway, you wear a military uniform all day long, but you don't look like a politician. ”

Zhao Bei smiled and said a few words, he used to worry about Xiong Chengji in the army, but now, since he is the president of the Republic of China. Then, Xiong Chengji can completely return to the army. Of course, the real power still needs to be controlled, after all, there are differences in political ideas between the two people, and the revolutionary comrades should also be on guard.

"This", I'll continue to help you sort out party affairs. ”

Xiong Chengji hesitated for a moment, to be honest, he still wanted to return to the army, but when he thought of what Song Jiaoren had said to him in the past, he still politely declined Zhao Bei's kindness.

"Well, you can continue to fight with those United Front commissioners. By the way, if you come to me today, you won't be here to eat, right? If you don't complain? ”

Zhao Bei didn't insist, since the other party was willing to look at the rabble in the united front for him, then, he was also happy to be idle, although Xiong Chengji and him had political differences, but the revolution of the two was the same, and they did not slack off with the establishment of the republic.

"I came here to ask you, Li Yuanhong doesn't want to run for vice president now, and seeing that the vice president of the Constituent Assembly has passed the vote of confidence, what should we do now?" Xiong Chengji asked.

Zhao Bei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiong Chengji to come over for this matter, when he was in Zhengzhou, he told Xiong Chengji that he would nominate Li Yuanhong as vice president, but at that time he was just an idea, and later he felt that Li Yuanhong still continued to stay in the position of president of the Senate of the National Assembly to help him more, and it was for this reason that he decided to change his strategy and let Li Yuanhong continue to be the speaker, but at the same time, the smokescreen of this "Li vice presidential candidate" was also thrown out. In order to eliminate and fight, the opposition in Congress will be exhausted.

This is not Zhao Bei's intention to deceive Xiong Chengji, but after changing his mind, Zhao Bei took Xiong Chengji's political pursuit, so he didn't tell him about Zigong's decision to change his mind, and now Li Yuanhong took the initiative to withdraw from the vice presidential race according to Zhao Bei's instructions, which surprised Xiong Chengji, and even rushed over to ask Zhao Bei what to do.

Since Xiong Chengji didn't know, Zhao Bei decided to continue to hide the truth after thinking about it for a while, so he said: "Weigen, what should I do, isn't it just a vice president, as long as I am still the president, there is nothing to do with the vice president, that is a foil." Besides, if Zhang Xiao becomes vice president. Then, he will not be able to form a faction in the Senate and House of Representatives, and in this way, the control of our united front over Congress will be further strengthened. ”

Although Zhao Bei's words were half-true, Xiong Chengji understood Zhao Bei's intentions, so he nodded slightly, didn't dwell on this topic anymore, picked up chopsticks and ate a few bites of rice, then remembered something, raised his head and looked at Zhao Bei.

"Zhenhua, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, and I would like to invite the Wushen Revolution, the members of the Liberation who have contributed to the revolution to get together. Let's spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, is it convenient for you to come over? ”

Zhao Bei smiled apologetically. said: "Wei Gen, I have made an appointment with someone to enjoy the moon and eat together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I may not be able to spare time for your party." ”

"Who invited you?"

Xiong Chengji was slightly disappointed. Zhao Bei's eyes saw that he was looking at the Cui Yi girl sitting on the side, but the Cui Yi girl was squirming with a red face, so he suddenly woke up.

Yes, revolutionaries certainly have a firm revolutionary stance. But after all, he is also a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires, since ancient times, beauties are worthy of heroes, and Zhao Bei is a hero. It really needs a confidant.

It's just that the country and the beauty, I don't know which one President Zhao values more?

Xiong Chengji couldn't make up his mind a little, laughed at his pedantry in his heart, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a few chopsticks for the future "first lady". Immerse yourself in your lunch and continue with your lunch. Not long after, Qin Sihu hurried back with braised vegetables.

As a result, the lunch in the presidential palace was more sumptuous, and Zhao Bei's mouth was also better.
