Chapter 432: True, False, and False, False and False (II)

Political struggles have always been brutal and merciless. This point, Wu Tingfang, who has been up and down in the sea for many years, is very clear, when he served in Li Hongzhang's shogunate, he also contributed to Li Hongzhang's fight against political opponents or resist the attacks of political opponents, although Li Hongzhang has long been ancient, and the Qing Dynasty has long since perished, but as long as there are still political fǔ in this world, there are still conflicts of interest between people, then, this political struggle will continue, and with the progress of the times, the means and skills of political struggle are also changing, but the essence is still the competition of interests between people.

Where there are people, there are conflicts of interest, and the more corners of society that can bring more benefits, the more 'fierce' the struggle becomes, and officialdom, as the largest distribution angle of interests, is 'color', and the struggle here is even more 'fierce' and cruel.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, there are no permanent friends here, and there are no eternal enemies, as long as you are in the officialdom, you must be prepared to be betrayed or betrayed by others, which has nothing to do with morality. It is only related to interests, whether it is the officialdom of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the officialdom of the Republic of China, as long as the interests remain unchanged, then the people here will not fundamentally change.

Therefore, after the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Kuomintang, Wu Tingfang was not particularly surprised, in his opinion, Tao Chengzhang's death is almost an inevitable end, if Tao Chengzhang does not die, then his political opponent will die, the difference is only which side will do it first.

At that time, Tao Chengzhang's main political enemy was Yuan Shikai, and he was also the Beiyang military and political group, which many people could see clearly, and Wu Tingfang was no exception, so when the news of Tao Chengzhang's assassination came out, Wu Tingfang, like most people, put the main suspicion on Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang Group.

Moreover, some days ago, with the great victory of the United Front in the Henan Campaign, the newspapers controlled by the ** faction have officially identified the mastermind behind the assassination of Tao Tao as Yuan Shikai, and the assassination of Tao Chengzhang is about to be settled.

But at this time, he made a halfway trip to bite the gold. It was determined that there was someone else who was the real culprit of the assassination, and the mastermind who planned the assassination turned out to be a high-ranking cadre of the Alliance.

The real assassin is not Yuan Shikai, but Chen Qimei.

This conclusion was drawn by Wu Tingfang from the words of the person who first exposed it, and this person who came out was none other than Chen Qimei's ** comrade Wang Zhaoming.

"Chen Qimei sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang."

If this sentence comes out of other people's mouths, it is indeed difficult to be convincing, but if it is said by Wang Zhaoming, then the meaning is very different, because of his special identity, he is not only a ** comrade who has worked with Chen Qimei for many years, but more importantly, he is also the proud 'disciple' of Mr. Sun, the leader of the Alliance.

Who is Chen Qimei? He was also Mr. Sun's right-hand man of the Alliance, a confidant, and his relationship with Mr. Sun was extraordinary, and he was a loyal follower of Mr. Sun. Chen Qimei advocated the re-establishment of the League all day long, and asked Mr. Sun to return to China to preside over party affairs, such a person, for Mr. Sun, who had been in the country for a long time, was the role of Zhang Liang and Han Xin.

Wang Zhaoming was the first to accuse Chen Qimei of planning to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, on the surface, this is just a matter of facts, but thinking deeply, who can guarantee that the ultimate purpose of this move is not to scold Huai?

Thinking about this, you can understand Wu Tingfang's current mood.

Now Wu Tingfang is shocked and angry, he is shocked that Tao Chengzhang's death was actually caused by his own people, and he is angry that Wang Zhaoming chose to betray Mr. Sun when he is about to return to China!

That's right, this is betrayal! Even if Tao Chengzhang was really assassinated by Chen Qimei, Wang Zhaoming could not jump out at this time to expose the truth, because this is not only a betrayal of the Alliance, but also a betrayal of Mr. Sun personally.

It's not about the truth, it's about politics.

Exposing the truth about Tao Chengzhang's assassination seems to be a blow to Chen Qimei on the surface, but in fact, the politician who really wants to hit is Mr. Sun.

As a person with a strong sympathetic attitude towards the southern ** faction, Wu Tingfang has a strong affection for the League and Mr. Sun, and it is precisely for this reason. He didn't want Mr. Sun's prestige to be weakened.

But Wu Tingfang has no way to prevent Mr. Sun's prestige from being weakened, not only because of those reporters, but also because of the Colonel Tian Jinfu, the appearance of this person shows that the person who pays attention to Tao Chengzhang's assassination case is very powerful, and that person may be the current President of the Republic of China, Zhao Bei, and one of the reasons why Zhao Bei sent Tian Jinfu to take Wang Zhaoming to the Ministry of Justice to denounce him may be to remind Wu Tingfang that the Ministry of Justice must take over this case.

Sometimes, as a superior, it is really inconvenient to directly tell his subordinates what to do, so with the help of hints, now, Wu Tingfang may receive a hint, as a judicial chief who has a strong impression of the League, he can take over this case, obviously can block the mouth of the League's 'agitators'.

Regardless of whether the truth of the facts is as Wu Tingfang analyzed, the most urgent thing at present is how to prevent more people from being implicated in this unsolved case, including Chief Wu himself. And do their own work within the scope of their authority.

"Wang Zhaoming, since you are willing to report it first, then the Ministry of Justice will discuss this case, and after discussion, it will be 'handed over' to the court. Are you satisfied with this arrangement? ”

Looking at the expressionless Wang Zhaoming, Wu Tingfang said a few words lightly, but sighed in his heart, perhaps Tang Shaoyi's evaluation of this person is pertinent, "Morning and evening, concentrate on camping". Maybe Wang Zhaoming was promised a benefit, or maybe this matter was indeed discovered by his conscience, in short, there was no turning back from the bow, and from now on, he Wang Someone may no longer be able to stand with those ** comrades in the past, and even be on the assassination blacklist because of this.

Wu Tingfang was worried about Wang Zhaoming's future, and at the same time, Wang Zhaoming himself was also thinking about his future development path in that 'chaotic' and coaxing mind.

That's right! This time he came to the Ministry of Justice to denounce Chen Qimei, Wang Zhaoming was instructed by someone, and the person who instructed him was none other than Zhao Bei, the current president of the Republic of China.

In fact, whether Chen Qimei really sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, Wang Zhaoming was not completely sure in his heart, although he also knew that Chen Qimei had a grudge against Tao Chengzhang for defeating Mr. Sun and serving as the leader of the Kuomintang, and had threatened to give Tao Chengzhang "a little 'look' to see", but after all, he had no conclusive evidence that Chen Qimei was the mastermind behind the assassination of Tao Chengzhang. Even if he needs to send someone to assassinate some politician, Chen Qimei will not go to him to write about it.

Therefore, Chen Qimei did not participate in any "assassination conspiracy" at all, he was completely a tool used by others, a puppet performing at the front stage.

But when Zhao Bei and Wang Zhaoming secretly talked about this matter, they were very sure that Tao Chengzhang was assassinated by Chen Qimei, and even the president clearly mentioned the name of the gunman: Jiang Zhiqing.

Jiang Zhiqing, this is the scientific name, this person is a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, studied in Japan, studied military, ** also returned to China, and followed Chen Qimei all day long, but after Tao Chengzhang was assassinated, this person disappeared. According to Chen Qimei, Comrade Jiang went to other places on business, as for what he was doing, Wang Zhaoming did not ask, Chen Qimei did not mention it, until Mr. President mentioned it, Wang Zhaoming discovered the strangeness of this, but the president was only empty and white-toothed, and could not come up with conclusive evidence, and Wang Zhaoming was also skeptical.

Doubts are doubts, but Wang Zhaoming still agreed to the "handover" exchange condition offered by Mr. President, which is not complicated: he Wang will go to the Ministry of Justice to denounce Chen Qimei as a "tainted witness", and in return, Mr. President will not only pardon him for "participating in the conspiracy", but will also give him a senior position in the government and let him return to his hometown.

Although Mr. President did not specify what position he would give him, Wang Zhaoming knew in his heart that without the support of the president, he would not even be a small secretary. That's right, he also understands in his heart that the president is referring to Sang scolding Huai's scheme, clearly dealing with Chen Qimei, but in fact he is going to Mr. Sun of the Alliance, he Wang someone denounces Chen Qimei, which is tantamount to betraying the Alliance and betraying Mr. Sun, regardless of whether Mr. Sun knows about the Tao assassination case or not, once this unsolved case breaks out again, then he Wang has nowhere to go, he can only rely on the protection of the president, counting on the president's promotion step by step, and finally become a very popular minister.

is a very popular minister, isn't this one of the motivations for him to join the ** in the first place? Although the main motive at that time was to expel the Tatars and restore China, now that the first has been established and the republic has been established, then the interests of this person should be wisely put first.

Now that the times have changed, personal pursuits should naturally change with them.

And this is also the fundamental reason why he Wang Zhaoming chose to betray.

Perhaps, this era is an era of betrayal, as for what others think, as for whether it will be on the blacklist of the Alliance's 'radical' assassination faction, it seems irrelevant, at least not for now.

"Chief Wu's arrangement is very appropriate, Wang has no other requirements, he only hopes to seek justice for Tao Huanqing as soon as possible, severely punish the murderer, safeguard the dignity of the law, and protect the rights of the people."

Wang Zhaoming restrained his mind and bowed respectfully to Wu Tingfang, but he was still thinking about his future development path in his heart.

"Zhao Zhenhua, Zhao Zhenhua, in order to consolidate the authority of the president and the central authority, I, Wang, am out of the way, sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, whether I can exchange it for glory and wealth, now it depends on your conscience."

……

"Ahh Ahh ”

The traitor surnamed Wang reminded President Zhao not to forget his conscience in his heart, but President Zhao sneezed a few times in a row, and he was suddenly refreshed.

"Who speaks ill of me behind my back? Why do you sneeze all the time? ”

Zhao Bei paced in the empty Juren Hall with his hands behind his back, and then stopped in front of the huge military map hanging on the wall, and 'rubbed' his nose with his fingers while patrolling the map.

Zhao Bei finally stopped his eyes on China's southern neighbor Vietnam, it is said that the leader of the Alliance, Mr. Sun, is now in Vietnam, as for whether he has boarded the ship and embarked on the road home, he is still further verifying the information, but whether the other party really intends to return to China, this time, President Zhao Da is in a tight position, and the tragedy of Yuan Shikai in history will not be repeated.

With one article and one martial arts, Zhao Bei was ready to welcome the return of Mr. Sun.

As a traverser, Zhao Bei still admires Mr. Sun, after all, he is a first-class pioneer, and history has also left his strong strokes, but on the other hand, as a traverser, Zhao Bei will not give up his power because of admiration, he knows very well what his historical mission is, and he will not give up the 'manipulation' of the rudder that controls the direction of China's ship to others.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Beicai pushed the assassination of Tao Chengzhang to the foreground again, and swung a heavy straight punch to the Alliance and Mr. Sun through Wang Zhaoming, which is also the "Wendou" plan he planned, compared to another more 'fierce' plan, this plan is already very peaceful.

In this space-time plane, did Chen Qimei plan to assassinate Tao Chengzhang? Maybe it was really him, maybe it had nothing to do with him, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that Zhao Bei knew that in the space-time plane he crossed over, Tao Chengzhang was indeed assassinated by Chen Qimei, and there were two gunmen who carried it out, one of the gunmen was called Jiang Zhiqing, the word Kai-shek.

This is enough, the mastermind behind the scenes, the executioner of the gunman, this is all ready-made, there is no need to bother to make up the mastermind behind the scenes, all Zhao Bei has to do is to find a "tainted witness", and he happens to have one in his hand, so Wang Zhaoming, who is eager to seek officials, appeared on the stage.

This is not only a political struggle, but also a true and false, false and real drama, the person who sings the drama is Wang someone, and the person who makes the drama is the president, and the president is not only responsible for making up the play, but also responsible for beating gongs and drums on the side, with only one purpose, that is, to sing this big drama lively and impressive.

Life is like a play, everyone has their own role, Zhao Bei doesn't want to be a supporting role, if others want to compete with him for the protagonist's play, then I'm sorry, the commander-in-chief has to salute first and then soldier.
