Chapter 3 Intrigue
The arrow moves, and you feel a little cold, and you gradually sobb and you will be crying. The sound of the corners is broken.
...
The first two are easy to say, but everyone has no objection. The first half of the third article also agrees. The differences are nothing more than the second half. Zhang Zhidong believed that this was to calculate the old accounts of each province, and to start over and embarrass the local area. It is not surprising to think carefully. Zhang Nanpi has been in Hubei for nearly 20 years and has been known as "money slaughtering" and is known as Cen Chunxuan's "money slaughtering officials". He spent money like flowing water. Among them, the amount of public funds that were intercepted, moved, invaded, and squeezed were scary. Even he himself might not be able to make it clear. This old account could not be settled - if you forget it, you might be ruined.
But when Zaize's proposal was mentioned, especially after he was posing for the death to break the situation, the atmosphere was very different. As soon as the emperor asked, three of the six military aircraft agreed first. Shanqi, Cen Chunxuan and Zaifeng all agreed. Shanqi has always been a prince who advocated centralization and was quite disgusted with the fact that the local government was too big. Cen Chunxuan is a conventional liquidation fraudster. He likes any proposal that is going to happen, fearing that the water is not enough to be messed up. As for Zaifeng, he has no idea at all. It was originally impossible, just because of Guarja's earnest teachings-
"The prince must not take the initiative without authorization. You must agree with all the emperor's approval; if you can't see clearly what the emperor means for a moment, then look at the statements of Prince Su and Cen Yunjie. If they agree, you must agree with it. Only they oppose you can follow it..." Seeing that Shanqi and Cen Chunxuan had agreed, he couldn't wait to stand up and express his agreement. What's more, Zaize and Zaifeng had a very shallow friendship. Prince Chun was a guest of honor when he was in the residence. Zaifeng admired his cousin's skills and skills, and he naturally agreed from the bottom of his heart when he was in love.
The remaining three people have their own difficulties. Zhang Zhidong was afraid of causing trouble because of his reputation as "slaughtering money", so he did not dare to agree. Xu Shichang used the excuse that Beiyang's income and expenditure accounts to be chaotic and even exceeded the previous Beichang houses of the Ministry of Revenue, and it was impossible to settle the national income and expenditure accounts. But he knew very well - since Li Hongzhang was appointed as the Minister of Beiyang and established the Huai Army Silver and Money Income and Disbursement Office, this was a bad account. No matter what, Li Hongzhang's income and expenditure when he handed over, and the surplus was as high as 4 million taels. After the Gengzi State Change, Yuan Shikai took over Li Hongzhang's mantle. In just a few years, not only did he consume the surplus, but he even received millions of public orders handed over by the coalition forces during the Tianjin period.
The money disappeared within a few months. When Yang Shixiang took over, the deficit of only having cases reached more than seven or eight million, and countless people without cases were investigated. If you want to investigate, it will affect your whole body! You can't turn over old accounts, and you can't turn over old accounts - this is a hidden rule, not to mention that this hidden rule also involves himself. He was originally Yuan Shikai's general copywriting and think tank. Although he may not know where each payment will go, he knows the general direction - he has been used by Yuan Shikai for the upper and lower points. It is easy to say that he agrees, but he may fall into it. As for Yi Li's disagreement, it is because he has used a lot of money from Beiyang. He pulled up the radish and brought out the mud. If he continues to study it, he will not have good results.
3vs3, both sides were evenly matched. However, the situation was a bit subtle, and the three of them did not agree, but did not say anything. Xu Shichang didn't say anything, and Yi Li didn't say anything. Zhang Zhidong was about to speak, but he was about to wake up, but Zai Ze, who was deliberately standing beside him, suddenly spread his palms and signaled. There were a few words written on it, "Be careful of your words, otherwise it will start from Hubei!" Although Zhang Nanpi's eyes were dizzy, he could see these words clearly. He was shocked and kept silent.
The three of them opposed it, but the three of them didn't say anything, and the atmosphere seemed to be condensed for a moment.
The emperor suddenly spoke: "That Tong, what do you mean?"
Natong is nicknamed "Adapter Military Aircraft". Although he is only a Grand Secretary and does not have the title of military aircraft, he will definitely arrive whenever a military aircraft is held, so he is called "Adapter Military Aircraft".
Then Tong looked at Yi Li's side first—the other party shook his head, and then Zai Ze's side—glad at him viciously. He was already worried. Whether it was agreeing or opposing, he would definitely have to make a fuss with him. He didn't dare to offend him, so he could only stammer: "I have no certainty, I just want the emperor's wiseness..."
Idiot!—The objection is scolding him.
Idiot!——I am laughing at him in favor.
Very good! - This is what the emperor thought.
"Since the military system expresses its own opinions, no one can convince anyone, then I will make a decision one by myself." Zhang Nanpi couldn't stop slandering: The emperor didn't know how many times he had made a decision one by himself, and he would have another time? Who believed it?
"Zaize, have you chosen the inspector?"
"Not yet, I will support you after I return to the army to make a decision." Zai Ze was overjoyed, the emperor was sure.
"No need." As soon as he said this, Zai Ze's face changed drastically. Could it be that it was impossible? Zhang Nanpi began to smile.
"I have a candidate whom I am willing to take charge, so that the branch will not intervene." After a while, the emperor said the three words "Xiong Xiling", "I let him do it, and he will take the lead. Rong Qing takes charge and investigate it according to the order!"
"What?" The opponents were stunned. Xiong Xiling was originally punished by "dismissal of his post, never to be used, and to be strictly controlled by local officials." Fortunately, Zhao Erxun, who was the governor of Hunan at the time, knew the talent and did not bury him. When the five ministers went abroad for inspection, Xiong Xiling accompanied him as a second-class counselor, conspired with Yang Du and handed over a constitutional investigation report from the boss. After Zhao Erxun replaced Xu Shichang to supervise the three eastern provinces, because he had always been proficient in financial management, he recommended him as the Fengtian Yan Dharma Dao, but the appointment was never issued. It turned out that the emperor had used it.
As for Rong Qing, it was even more accustomed to people. He and Duan Fang and Natong were collectively known as the three talents under his rank, but unlike the latter two, they were strict and self-disciplined and honest, and people at that time said that it would be easier to clear the King of Hell than to clear the King of Hell if they wanted to clear the King of Hell.
Zai Ze was overjoyed. Although the emperor unveiled to kick the branch away and did not allow him to arrange a candidate, whether it was Xiong Xiling or Rong Qing, they were all people he respected. He agreed repeatedly: "I will accept it, so that some people will not say that our branch will take revenge with private matters!"
Revenge with private individuals? Who are you scolding? Everyone secretly guessed, but they were surprisingly unified: "The emperor is wise."
"The second article, we will first choose Zhili to pilot the project in the first section of the investigation. Zhili is near the capital and is the leader of the provinces in the world. We should set an example. Duanfang, what do you think?"
Duan Fang, who was at the rank of the people, has been paying attention to the disputes. He was not the turn of the discussion just now. Now, he was happy to hear the emperor talking about this section. Although he was not completely clear about the financial losses of Zhili, he vaguely heard that there were more than 10 million holes. He originally thought about how to fill them after he took over. This investigation of Zhili was a timely help. It was equivalent to cleaning the house for him first and then treating guests. How could he not be happy? - This is the reason why many local officials in China squeezed out the moisture left by their ex after taking office before crossing the line.
But he could not be too active. On the one hand, he had more or less problems in Liangjiang. On the other hand, if he performed too actively, he would be mistaken for the insult to injury. After thinking for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "Since it is related to the "Nine Years Preparation for Constitutional Preparation", I naturally agree with it and act according to the holy will."
Old fox!
"It would be nice if you think so, it would be fine for me to promote me." The emperor turned his head, "Wang Shang, go call Xirong here."
After a short while, the guard Xirong, a guard in front of the imperial guard, entered the Yangxin Hall, and he was also the core backbone of the Imperial Guard in preparation.
"Xirong, I ordered you to lead 100 imperial guards to wait for the dispatch of Zhili Finance Inspector Rong Qing and Xiong Xiling, and be on standby all day, so you must not miss the situation."
"I will give you an edict later. After Duan Fang attaches the notice, you will take someone to transfer all the relevant financial documents and files of Beiyang to the Summer Palace for proper storage and care for them day and night. If you have one short in the future, you can go outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the beheading."
"I reward you with a gold medal in the imperial decree. If the inspector wants to investigate who you want, you will obey the order and pass the person to the Summer Palace for interrogation. If there is any mistake, you will also wait for the beheading outside the Meridian Gate! If someone stops you, you can take action first and then report!"
The emperor spoke harshly and repeatedly gave orders. Xirong didn't even frown, just said "Yes!" and then walked away with big strides.
Everyone was frightened. What is this? Yang Shixiang entered the Summer Palace. Now the inspector entered the Summer Palace again. What is the place like?
It seems that the emperor is coming to the real world. The candidates are appointed, quarantine and review, archive protection, investigators... The whole process is completed in one go, without any leakage. Zhang Nanpi was once again confused. Is it him who was the master standing behind the emperor?
"About Li Deshun's case, Gao Runsheng submitted an impeachment, and Cen Chunxuan impeached Yang Shixiang again... Now the public is in full swing, so we still have to thoroughly investigate it. We must give justice to the business people."
"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."
"Lu Haihuan, the general secretary, is really cowardly, so he first opened the gap and asked him to go home and have a good New Year. Sun Baoqi took over the position of the general secretary of Jinpu Road." The emperor began to call the general, "Natong."
"I'm here."
"All major military aircraft have important matters, so you and Zaixun are fully responsible for investigating this case. If you rule, he will be subordinate, so you must find out the truth."
"I obey the order." A smile appeared on the corner of Na Tong's mouth.
Yi Li and Xu Shichang also breathed a sigh of relief. Since Tong was the main body and Zaixun was the auxiliary, this matter was easy to deal with. Zaize was confused on his face. How could these two partners be together? What does the emperor mean? He wanted to ask but did not dare. He could only keep this doubt in his heart for the time being.
