    Chapter 355 Are you ready?

    In the early morning, the sun just shines on the earth. In the ancient sky, a group of pigeons are flying. The whistle of the pigeons "Weng, Weng" is sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes louder and sometimes smaller, echoing in the air for a long time.  Rainbow*Literature£¤Learning%

    Although it is early in the morning, in the Zhongnanhai Government Hall of the Presidential Palace on the east side of the Forbidden City in the inner city, it is still the same as usual. Dozens of staff are handling things there. However, in the inner room of the Government Hall, the room is filled with  There is a strong smell of cigar smoke. Liang Shiyi, Xu Shichang, Yang Shiqi and others are drafting the organizational measures of the State Council here.

    The so-called Organizational Measures of the State Council are not so much organizational methods as the "State Council Powers and Responsibilities Measures". They actually divide the powers and responsibilities between the State Council and the Presidential Office. Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, the President invited the Huaihai Economic Envoy to come.  The discussion of state affairs between Beijing and Beijing is something that will last forever, and Li Zicheng readily went to the appointment without hesitation, which is a blessing to the country.

    It seems that everything in China is going on the right track, and the country's prosperity is just around the corner. However, for Yuan Shikai, who is proficient in political power, he will naturally not adhere to the principle of "living and dying for the benefit of the country, how can he avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings" as the outside world says,  In fact, long before he sent the telegram, he had already begun drafting the "Organizational Measures of the State Council", which aimed to divide the powers of the two parties through the decentralization of powers between the government and the Yuan.

    The State Council of China originated from the Nanjing Provisional Government, which changed the presidential system to a cabinet system in order to limit Yuan Shikai's power. Later, the State Council was established. The cabinet consists of nine ministries: foreign affairs, interior affairs, finance, army, navy, justice, education, industry, and transportation.  Tang Shaoyi, the first Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was just a person who wanted to get something done at the beginning. He thought about China's national conditions and China's current situation. When he went to Nanjing to take office, he wanted to change the original 9 departments in the Nanjing Provisional Government to 12.  The ministry, except for the seven ministries of foreign affairs, interior affairs, finance, army, navy, justice, and education, divides industry into three ministries: industry, commerce, and agriculture and forestry, and transportation into two ministries, namely, transportation and posts and telecommunications.  In this way, it can not only be professional and clear, but also be conducive to personnel arrangements between the North and the South.

    After Tang Shaoyi reported his plans for the composition of the cabinet to the Senate, the Senate raised objections and did not agree to separate transportation and post and telecommunications, and industry was only allowed to be divided into two ministries: industry, commerce, and agriculture and forestry.  In this way, Tang Shaoyi's plan of turning 9 movies into 12 movies can only be changed from 9 movies into 10 movies.  As a result, the 10 ministries under the cabinet became the norm for China's central departments. When the State Council was reestablished, the division of the ten ministries became the most important issue before everyone.

    We must satisfy the president, the prime minister, and the people, but the question is who can please the three parties?

    "Then there are still good things to think about, and there are still good things that happen, and there are still good things that the old donkey doesn't eat grass!"

    It was very rare that Xu Shichang uttered a curse word. After this sentence, he looked at it with great helplessness as he took half a month to come up with another State Council organizational method together with Liang Shiyi and Yang Shiqi.

    When they first proposed this plan to Li Zicheng's three or four ministries, Yuan Shikai overturned it almost without thinking. The reason is very simple. The power of the State Council should not be too big or too small. It must be just right. And the most powerful person in the world  It is this just right that is difficult to grasp, especially the division of power.  Just like in the movie, the power is divided between ministers and deputy ministers, but this time it involves the power of a country!

    Therefore, finally, at the suggestion of the President, we came up with the organizational method of the State Council. According to this organizational method, the Presidential Office has jurisdiction over five ministries and the State Council has jurisdiction over five ministries. It can be said that it seems very fair. The ten ministries of the central government are responsible for each of their five ministries.  , at least on paper, it seems confusing.  In fact, the organizational method has not changed. Each is in charge of five departments. This is the basic tone, and the reason for this is such a fair and just deception.

    According to the current plan, the five key departments of foreign affairs, justice, finance, army, and navy are under the jurisdiction of the presidential palace. The president appoints and removes officials from the five departments, and their reasons are very good. As the supreme head of state, the president naturally controls the land.  The navy, as a national symbol, naturally controls diplomacy. As for finance, finance is the foundation of the country, and it is natural for the president to control it.

    As for the five ministries of internal affairs, education, agriculture and forestry, industry and commerce, and transportation, they are under the jurisdiction of the State Council. The reason is also very good. The State Council is responsible for the national economy and people's livelihood. It is its own responsibility to control agriculture, forestry, industry, commerce, and education. The development of agriculture, forestry, and industry and commerce needs to be supplemented by transportation.  As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is responsible for coordinating the country's internal affairs. Only the two "good and bad positions" of the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will fall into the hands of the State Council.

    "Yansun, look, this plan has finally been come up. How about you submit it to the president! This man is old, but he can't stay up late!"

    With bloodshot eyes, Xu Shichang rationally chose to "get out of the way". Now not only will the State Council be re-established, but the Secretariat of the Presidential Palace has also been re-established. This secretary-general is Liang Shiyi.

    "Brother Juren, this"

    Just when Liang Shiyi was about to speak to persuade, Yang Shiqi said next to him.¡°This is naturally Secretary-General Liang¡¯s responsibility, why don¡¯t I send Brother Juren home to rest!¡±

    After speaking to the two of them like this, Liang Shiyi sneered in his heart: All these two people were thinking was just to make themselves suffer from this sore, but they only saw that this matter seemed to be unpalatable to both sides.  But if the operation is done well, it is a matter of mutual benefit. Some people will fall off the wire rope, but some people can walk very well!

    Although he was thinking this in his heart, Liang Shiyi said with a sincere smile on his face:

    "Shiyi sincerely thanks you both for your help. Once the organizational method of the State Council is determined, the country's situation will be stable. At that time, Shiyi will definitely tell the people of the country that they have worked hard and contributed greatly to the establishment of the republic forever.  !¡±

    After being polite, as the two left, Liang Shiyi walked out of the political hall and walked towards Jurentang, where the president lived.  On the way, Liang Shiyi repeatedly weighed the president's thoughts in his mind. For the president, the army, navy, and finance are the three most important departments. In the final analysis, China's affairs still rely on the barrel of the gun, and the barrel of the gun  The prince wants to sue again. It can be said that for the president, these three ministries must not be handed over to Li Zicheng. Then there is diplomacy. Diplomacy deals with foreigners, and internal affairs controls the appointment and removal of officials across the country. These are all  The president naturally wants to take important departments into his own hands.

    At this point, although Liang Shiyi had selfish motives, he could only listen to Yuan Shikai.  But he knew that if it was really distributed like this, Li Zicheng might feel a little uncomfortable, but he had no reason to deny it directly.  Maybe the president will agree with this opinion.

    Sure enough, after the president saw this organizational method, he fell silent. He neither expressed objection nor approval. He was obviously thinking about it in his heart.  After pondering for a moment, Liang Shiyi began to persuade:

    "President, this method is the best method now. If there is no real power department in the state affairs, I am afraid it will be really difficult to explain. Education and transportation, these two ministries, are given to the State Council, which is enough to cause confusion among the people."

    After taking a look at Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai said after silence:

    "The five ministries have shown the magnanimity of this president. The Presidential Office has nothing to do with these five ministries."

    After saying these words, Yuan Shikai seemed to be missing something. In fact, it was only after careful consideration that he made the decision. If Li Zicheng did not have an army of 200,000, he would have  He would only be given three troops, but he had an army of 200,000 strong. For these reasons, he had to make concessions.

    "Indeed, by giving him five ministries, the whole of China will know the president's sincerity. If Li Zicheng still doesn't agree by then, it will appear that Li Zicheng is greedy for power."

    Nodding, Yuan Shikai smiled and said:

    "So, among the five ministries, it seems that this president has made a lot of concessions, but in fact, it leaves him, Li Zicheng, with no room to refute and fight for power!"

    Yuan Shikai¡¯s words made Liang Shiyi startled. He was surprised by Yuan Shikai¡¯s methods, and then he said with admiration:

    "The president's vision is beyond our reach!"

    "Okay, stop flattering me!"

    Putting away his smile, Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said:

    "I'm still not satisfied with the five ministries of the State Council you mentioned. Let me make a suggestion for you to consider."

    Yuan Shikai touched his beard, thought for a while, and said:

    "Wang Chonghui is now the chief judge of the Longhai Higher Tribunal. He is young and promising. After graduating from the Law Department of Peiyang University, he obtained a doctorate in law in the United States. He also served as the chief justice. Well, let him be the chief justice.  !¡±

    Yuan Shikai's suggestion made Liang Shiyi beat a drum in his heart. He looked at the President in disbelief. Wang Chonghui was branded with the marks of the Kuomintang and Longhai, but the President wanted to return to the Presidential Palace.  If the Ministry of Justice is handed over to Wang Chonghui, isn't this equivalent to turning a "50-50-point government office" into a "46-point government office"?

    "President, this"

    When Liang Shiyi wanted to persuade the president to think twice, he suddenly realized Yuan Shikai's intention, so he hurriedly complimented:

    "The candidate for the President has been well proposed. It doesn't matter whether the President would be grateful when he mentioned Wang Chonghui's name, but Li Zicheng would be grateful. You know, Li Zicheng has always supported the rule of law, and now Longhai  Local lawyers account for half of the country. If Official Wang Chonghui is appointed as the Minister of Justice, he will not choose to come to China and rule the country by law."

    No need to think about it, Liang Shiyi knew that once this decision was made, the whole country would only see that Yuan Shikai was employing people on the basis of merit, but not that his move contained evil intentions. If Wang Chonghui treated Longhai Xing as "only talking about  It took less than half a year for the Ministry of Justice to use the "laws and regulations, regardless of favors" approach.Wang Chonghui's actions may bring disaster to Li Zicheng and the National Socialist Party.

    "The law is the last line of defense for social fairness. The independent judiciary supported by Li Chih-cheng is actually what this president wants. Wang Chonghui has been practicing in Longhai for more than 10 years, and he wants to have a better understanding of judicial independence and fairness. He served as the chief justice.  , is indeed a blessing to China.¡±

    Yuan Shikai didn't know much about Wang Chonghui, but he didn't need to know too much. He only needed to know what he did in Lianyungang, which was enough. He was not afraid of Wang Chonghui's "independent judiciary", nor was he afraid of his use of judicial power to maintain  China's fairness and justice, in fact, he is really afraid that if he doesn't do that, as long as he does, it will be Li Zicheng who will be unlucky in the end.

    "We are united in our party and against those who are different!"

    Liang Shi, who understood what the president would use to attack Wang Chonghui and Li Zhiyuan in the end, came up with these four words in his heart.  At the same time, they also understood a truth. The political talent of their old boss was really beyond their reach. It seemed like he was making concessions, but in fact, they all contained "evil intentions". He immediately said with sincerity:

    ¡°The President¡¯s ability to recognize and employ people is truly second to none.¡±

    "Yansun, what we just said were private words between you and me! There is no need to keep flattering like this!"

    Glancing at Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai emphasized the word "private conversation". Liang Shiyi had been in frequent contact with Gu Weijun recently, and he had received some news. Although he was not worried, appropriate reminders were still necessary.

    "President, Shi Yi thinks that there are ten ministries in the Central Committee. Although the State Council occupies five, it is so small that it will not be too few. Otherwise, three of these five ministries are cold yamen. Then they will still have some complaints.  Therefore, there are some things that must be prepared in advance.¡±

    Liang Shiyi did not directly respond to Yuan Shikai's words. He knew that for Yuan Shikai, sometimes eagerness to show loyalty would make him dissatisfied. If he really had an opinion against himself, he would not say these words.

    "you mean¡­¡­"

    Yuan Shikai touched his bruised cheek and said,

    ¡°The biggest problem then is how to treat the cold yamen, if the cold yamen is turned into a hot yamen.¡±

    People's mentality will always change. In fact, for Li Zicheng, Yuan Shikai's mentality is complicated. On the one hand, he admits that Li Zicheng is a talent, and a rare talent. It is precisely because of this that he wants to let this person  Talents are for his own use, so he would rather give him some ministries and let him do some things. Yuan Shikai, who was able to do things in the Qing Dynasty, understood that there were many officials in China, but few officials like Li Zhiyuan who could do things.  , there are very few people who can accomplish great things.

    However, Li Zhiyuan holds military power in his hands. Such a person will become his opponent no matter what. Even if he is an opponent, then he cannot treat him fairly. But Yuan Shikai understands that if he  He wants to become the "real president of a powerful country", but Li Zhiyuan is one of the few people in the country who can really help him.

    He is different from the Revolutionary Party. The Revolutionary Party can only destroy, but Li Zicheng can build. It is for this reason that Yuan Shikai has an extremely complicated mentality towards him.  When Yuan Shikai hires people, he always pays attention to family background and qualifications, but he also values ????ability more. If he has ability, he will dare to use it even if he is an enemy!

    "The cold Yamen has become the hot Yamen."

    Yuan Shikai's words made Liang Shiyi murmur in his heart, but he didn't understand what Yuan Shikai meant.  But Yuan Shikai added at this time.

    ¡°Why is Longhai¡¯s education better than ours!¡±

    With a rhetorical question, Yuan Shikai said again.

    "If you are willing to spend money, you can do anything well!"

    After saying that, Yuan Shikai leaned back on the chair lazily and said.

    "Now, I am ready to welcome him Li Zhiyuan, but I don't know if he, Li Zhiyuan, is ready!"

    "Are you ready?"

    In the shadow of a room in a three-story foreign-style building next to Baochang Road in the French Concession, a slightly deep voice sounded.

    "Yes, Secretary-General!"

    Sitting on the chair, Lei Qiang looked at the man in the shadow of the room. He could be said to be a legendary figure in the security department. To a certain extent, he was the direct creator of the security department - the fourth boss.

    "Um!"

    Nodding, Li Siqin, who was standing in the shadows, quietly looked out the window at the French Concession, looking at the lush French paulownia trees, his whole expression looked extremely calm.

    "Remember, you have to make sure he uses the gun you gave him, understand?"

    "Yes! Secretary-General, please rest assured, your job will be guaranteed with your life"

    "Your life"

    ??Sneered, and when he turned around, Li Siqin¡¯s face looked like that of a young man.A sneer flashed across his face. In his opinion, let alone Lei Qiang's life, even the lives of the 1,654 "employees" of the Security Department put together would not be as "jingui" as the young master. The young master  What will change is the future!

    The future of all China depends on the young master!

    The secretary-general's words only made Lei Qiang's heart tighten. Although he was full of curiosity about this task, as an operational security guard, the most fundamental principle is "never interfere". He just completes his task. If this task  If it jeopardizes the envoy, even if he betrays the Security Bureau, he will not carry out this task, but in his opinion, this task cannot really endanger the envoy.

    "Do you know why this plan is called the "Jingke Plan?"  ""

    Suddenly, a question came into Lei Qiang's ears. While he was stunned, Li Siqin's voice, which was in no way consistent with his age, rang out.

    "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the heroes are gone and never come back! Although Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was not successful, it helped the King of Qin to unify the Central Plains. This is the meaning of the "Jing Ke Plan"!"

    After the words fell, Li Siqin stood up and walked towards the door. He picked up a small hat from the door and put it on his head. When he opened the door and was about to leave, he dropped another sentence.

    "Hopefullywhen we meet again, this is the country we hope to be!"

    The country we want!

    What does the country you want look like?  There is an answer in Lei Qiang's mind: "In that country, an individual serves the country selflessly, but the premise of such service is that the person must believe from the bottom of his heart, and the country must in turn provide asylum for the individual and allow people to obtain  True dignity.¡±

    This is exactly the country they dreamed of, and it was Lianyun who instilled this concept in them, and what the autonomous committees in Lianyun and Longhai have been working hard to implement is this concept.

    Jing Ke¡¯s assassination attempt on the King of Qin failed, but he helped the King of Qin unify the Central Plains!

    After leaving the building where the "Double Lions Foreign Bank" hung, the Secretary-General's words kept flashing in Lei Qiang's mind. Under the shade of the withered French paulownia tree, he raised his head and looked towards the sky.

    "Go up the hillside and look at the blue sky. If a white cloud is shining, you will focus on it and keep climbing up the hillside." Looking at the white clouds in the sky and reciting this poem on his lips, his expression changed.  Have to become more determined.  Only if a nation has some people who pay attention to the sky, they have hope; if a nation only cares about the things below its feet, it has no future.

    At this time, for Lei Qiang, he knew that he was about to kick open the door to the future
