- Chapter 371 Decision making
"He Qing went to the train station to pick up Liang Qichao?"
Sitting in the living room of the ward, Li Zicheng put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Zhang Yilin in front of him with a smile. Long before Liang Qichao came to Lianyun as a special envoy, the Security Department had already sent the intelligence from Beijing, including the most important information. , which is the concession made by Yuan Shikai on the powers and responsibilities of the government. //www.//
The five ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Army, Navy, and Transportation are under the jurisdiction of the Presidential Office, while the five ministries of Education, Home Affairs, Agriculture and Forestry, Industry and Commerce, and Finance are under the jurisdiction of the State Council. The State Council also has a director of foreign affairs. Although this division of powers and responsibilities is unsatisfactory, it is It is very different from the previous virtual State Council. Controlling financial power means controlling political power. Finance is the mother of all political affairs. Without money, everything is empty talk.
"Influence diplomacy, influence the judiciary, control finances, and keep an eye on internal affairs!"
Facing everyone gathered in the living room of the ward, Li Zicheng uttered these words. This was the plan he had made in his heart when he first decided to go to the capital.
"The so-called influence on diplomacy is because if you want to improve the reputation of the State Council, you must take back national rights and interests to make the people realize that this State Council is definitely different from the past. It is an agency that does practical things. It does its best to safeguard the interests of the country. !¡±
Li Zicheng, who understands this era, had a smile on his face when explaining. If there is anything he knows best about this era, it is that people in this era are very sensitive to national interests. This may be because China has lost too much. A kind of public sensitivity caused by multiple rights and interests.
"Of course, taking back rights and interests is also a promise made by the National Socialist Party during the election. Once we form a government, we must carry out active diplomacy and even directly challenge the privileges of various countries in China. Well, although we cannot be in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we By establishing a foreign minister, we can still achieve our goals"
When analyzing each item one by one, Li Zicheng looked very motivated and satisfied. Now, time is finally on his side. Although it is a month or two late, everything still comes in a hurry.
"Then there is the control of the judiciary. From the outside, the Ministry of Justice seems to have little power, but in fact, if it is done properly, the Ministry of Justice will become a truly powerful department. Therefore, if we go to the capital, we must focus on starting from Yuan Shikai Fight for the Ministry of Justice there, please record this!"
While Zhang Yilin was taking notes, Wang Chonghui and others listened carefully to Li Zicheng's story. This meeting was actually about explaining the work after going to the capital. They all understood that now, no one can stop the envoy from going to the capital. He took up the post of Prime Minister.
When Li Zicheng mentions the Department of Justice, what comes to mind is the Department of Justice of the United States in later generations. For any president in the United States, the people they place in the Department of Justice are often the people he trusts most, just like when Kennedy appointed his A brother is the attorney general, and the Department of Justice can play a far greater role than outsiders imagine, if of course it is fully utilized.
When the envoy mentioned the Ministry of Justice, Wang Chonghui's brows jumped. He, the chief judge of Lianyun High Court, is undoubtedly an alternative existence in Lianyun. To a large extent, he is not A direct descendant of Li Zicheng, he was a revolutionary and a friend of Song Jiaoren. He even came to Lianyun to serve as a judge of the Higher Tribunal under Song Jiaoren's persuasion.
However, even though he is not a direct descendant of the "Jingluo Office", here, he truly understands what "judicial affairs" is. Here, no one will interfere with the work of the tribunal, and he can do it without any scruples. Promote the concepts of "judicial democracy" and "maintaining social justice through justice", all of which are also supported by Li Zicheng.
¡°Judicial justice is the last line of defense to maintain social justice!¡±
Under this concept, in the past two years, he established a truly modern and efficient judicial system in Lianyun. But now, when Li Zicheng mentioned "influencing the judiciary", he frowned. He couldn't help but think that "influencing the judiciary" seemed to him to be tantamount to "manipulating the judiciary."
¡°With a little effort, the judiciary will never be a tool!¡±
Wang Chonghui obviously has no self-awareness of being a "direct descendant", even now.
"Judiciary is by no means a tool, and it can never become a tool. This has been, is, and will remain in the future. Judicial fairness is the basis of social justice. No individual or organization can use or play with justice!"
Regarding Wang Chonghui's rebuttal, Li Zicheng calmly agreed. He knew that apart from Wang Chonghui, there was no more suitable candidate to serve as the Chief Justice. Moreover, he had never played with the judiciary or used the judiciary as a tool. idea.
¡°However, in order to maintain judicial fairness and effectiveness, the Ministry of Justice should establish some power agencies to clearly?, if during the Min Er Song case"
Looking at Wang Chonghui, Li Zicheng still brought up the old incident.
¡°If the Ministry of Justice has a national law enforcement agency, and the Shanghai District Procuratorate issues a summons to Zhao Bingjun for court investigation, it will be enforced¡±
When mentioning this matter, deep down in Li Zicheng's heart, apart from admiration for Shanghai's judges, prosecutors, and even Cheng Dequan, on one side was the most powerful President of the Republic of China, who combined military power, political power, and financial power. His immediate boss, Yuan Shikai, is concerned about the so-called invisible and intangible things such as public opinion, public opinion and judicial fairness?
But those people chose the latter. At that time, the Shanghai District Procuratorate was faced with a difficult problem, which was the then Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun. Since he has been deeply involved in the case, it is definitely impossible not to summon him. However, he was the Prime Minister of the Republic of China and the second most powerful person after Yuan Shikai.
Zaihai District Procuratorate. At that time, Shanghai was not as prosperous as it is now. From an administrative level, it was just a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province.
what to do? If Zhao Bingjun doesn't come, how will this case be tried?
Then issue a subpoena to him and summon him to court.
On May 8, the Shanghai District Procuratorate issued a summons to Zhao Bingjun for court investigation. That's right. A small county-level court actually issued a subpoena to the Prime Minister, not just once, but twice.
When in Chinese history did something like this happen? When Li Zicheng read in the newspaper that the Shanghai District Procuratorate issued a subpoena to the Prime Minister, he couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the constitutional awareness and courage of those elites in the early Republic of China to uphold constitutionalism.
¡°The scene that followed was even more shocking.
After all, it is not a glorious thing for the Prime Minister to appear in court for a hearing. Zhao Bingjun must try to avoid this embarrassment for himself, the president, and the country. What's more, once the accusation is confirmed, he will not be able to escape criminal responsibility. If the Prime Minister of the country really goes to prison to serve his sentence, it will really make everyone laugh.

What's more, once the accusation is confirmed, he will not be able to escape criminal responsibility. If the Prime Minister of the country really goes to prison to serve his sentence, it will really make everyone laugh.
Zhao Bingjun wants to hide. As the prime minister of the country, according to the thinking of later generations, there must be many more ways to hide than ordinary people. For example, just say, I am the Prime Minister of the country and I have to deal with major state affairs. What should we do if hearings in court affect national affairs? Who will bear this responsibility?
Yes, no one dares to bear such a responsibility. Once such a reason is provided, it is not a problem to avoid the court. However, if someone really does this, it means that he is actually using state administrative power to confront legal authority.
Li Zicheng heard this excuse a lot in the past. Whenever a government department becomes a defendant, the head of that department is almost never seen in court.
In fact, even in the United States, during the Watergate incident, Nixon was using various methods to avoid appearing in court. One of the excuses turned out to be: Nixon was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and therefore he was a soldier. Soldiers could apply to recuse themselves from civil trials.
But can Zhao Bingjun escape?
In the end, Zhao Bingjun finally avoided appearing in court. However, he did not use his administrative power and his excuse was simple.
he is sick.
"Now Bingjun's old illness has relapsed. He was treated in a French hospital. There should be a diagnosis to prove it. On April 30, he informed the president that he would take a leave of absence for 15 days. He has not been able to go to Shanghai. Special quote Regarding the provisions of Article 303 of the Draft Criminal Procedure Law, please inquire at Bingjun¡¯s location.¡±
The Prime Minister of this country is really a coward. To avoid going to court, he actually found such an excuse. In fact, he had no other choice. Because if he uses his administrative power to avoid appearing in court, then he is using his power to interfere with the impartiality of justice. Although you are the Prime Minister of the country, you are still a citizen of this country and you are still subject to judicial trial. In the face of the law, your administrative status has no effect. Therefore, even if there are excuses of one kind or another, he actually does not have more excuses than us ordinary people.
¡°Moreover, he also realized that his avoidance must be based on the law, so he cited the Criminal Procedure Law to defend himself. At the same time, he said that he could accept "queries" where he was.
Zhao Bingjun avoided appearing in court to accept the summons, but since the court had issued a summons, he couldn't bear to think about it and wanted a formal reply. So he gave a formal reply to the Shanghai Procuratorate, stating once again that his absence was not to challenge judicial justice: "But"In the spirit of the founding of the country, judicial integrity is the first priority, and respecting the will of judicial officers is the way to maintain judicial integrity"
It is precisely because of this that Li Zicheng will not hesitate to say that he wants to interfere with the judiciary and interfere with judicial corruption. In Li Zicheng's view, the importance of ensuring judicial integrity far outweighs the consequences of interfering with judicial corruption. of ¡°benefits¡±. But now, in order to achieve the purpose of "influencing the judiciary", Li Zicheng does not mind mentioning old things and finding some suitable reasons for himself.
¡°Nowadays, for many cases, local governments do not have the power to enforce laws across provinces. Therefore, the Ministry of Justice should establish one or two agencies that can carry out law enforcement operations across the country. And I think this agency should be managed by the State Council. Of course"
Looking at Wang Chonghui who was thoughtful, Li Zicheng further explained.
"The activities of this institution will be within the judicial authorization. More importantly, it serves the judiciary. The institution was established to better maintain judicial impartiality. No one should be allowed to escape due to a divided judicial system. The possibility of judicial punishment! Liangchou, what do you think?"
"this¡¡"
After pondering for a moment, Wang Chonghui still nodded in agreement. Although he knew that this institution would never be as simple as the minister said, he understood that many times, compromises had to be made, even for a judiciary that claimed to be fair.
Seeing that Wang Chonghui no longer objected, Li Zicheng understood that there were not many problems with at least establishing an agency such as the Investigation Bureau. All he had to do was review it in Congress and find a suitable time.
"Take control of your finances!"
After speaking these four words in a slow voice, Li Zicheng raised the corners of his lips slightly. It could be said that those "three shots" were worth it as long as they could be exchanged for a Ministry of Finance.
"We have to thank Liang Zhuoru for this. Finance is the foundation of all government. Without finance, there will be no other decrees. This is the power that we must firmly grasp when it is impossible to make Yuan Shikai hand over military power. Without financial power, , without other real power, the State Council is just a deaf ear."
Having said this, Li Zicheng turned his attention to Chen Huide, the general manager of Huaihai Industrial Savings Bank and the God of Wealth in Longhai.
"Guangfu, with Yuan Shikai's personality, even if he hands over the Ministry of Finance to us, he will probably find ways to make a fuss about the finances. We must imagine in advance what they will do. The weakness of the Ministry of Finance is now Where, we must consider in advance. It can be said that the Ministry of Finance is the first battlefield between us and the Presidential Office after I arrive in Beijing. We must not let him empty the Ministry of Finance. In any case, the Ministry of Finance must The hard work is in our hands."
Listening to the envoy¡¯s question, Chen Huide thought for a moment and then answered.
¡°Jingsuomin, the manager of the Beijing-Tianjin branch, Zhou Zuomin, is an old man from the Ministry of Finance. If you take a job in the capital, you can consider moving him to be your financial advisor"
"Well, let's see if the Ministry of Finance can recruit more people, starting from some elites in the banking industry. We must follow the example of European and American countries and establish a complete and efficient fiscal and financial system. Finance is the foundation and mother of all governments. , without active fiscal production and policies, everything is empty talk. Now the central government has annual savings of 30 million. There is too little that can be done with this money. Guangfu, you have to be willing to give up this time!"
Li Zicheng is full of expectations for establishing a positive and efficient fiscal policy. In fact, governing a country is no different from a company. In many cases, it is simply a matter of money. Only with enough money can we actively carry out our work. In all kinds of work, if China wants to develop, it must develop and build a complete industry. If it wants to develop industry, it needs money. Whether it is government investment or guidance of private investment, these all need the support of the central government. What's more, none of those plans are There is no need for abundant financial resources to support him. Without abundant financial resources, he is at best slightly stronger than the prime ministers in history.
"Please rest assured, manager, as long as you need it, Huaihai Bank will definitely send the best employees to the Ministry of Finance!"
Of course Chen Huide would not refuse the request of the economic envoy. On the one hand, because Huaihai Bank is Li Zicheng's property, the interests of the two are tied together. On the other hand, Chen Huide certainly would not give up using the Ministry of Finance to expand Huaihai Bank. Opportunities for influence. For Huaihai Bank, this is an opportunity to influence China's future financial and fiscal policies. Seizing this opportunity, Huaihai Bank will soon develop into China's largest private bank in the future.
"Ah, very good!"
Nodding, Li Zicheng turned his attention to Han Wu. The next agenda is more important, that is, military power, whether it is finance or justice. In the final analysis, when dealing with Yuan Shikai and the people of Beiyang, there is no military power. As a backer, a?It's all empty talk, and you may think it's ridiculous to have a government out of the barrel of a gun, but no one can deny the absolute correctness of this principle in an appropriate historical context, such as now.
"I once said that a tiger without claws cannot survive in the forest. Therefore, China must show its claws. This is true in the international environment, and it is also true in the current Chinese environment!"
At this time, Li Zicheng's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"As a person, I hope to solve China's problems through political channels. However, reality tells me that if I hand over all my claws, the tiger will turn into a sick cat and eventually be eaten by others. This is not what I want. What we see is not in line with China¡¯s interests! However, it is inevitable to send troops to participate in the war, and our interests also require us to do so! However, domestically, we must retain part of our force as a solid backing for the State Council .¡±
Looking at Han Wu, Li Zicheng leaned forward slightly, and then said in a very serious tone.
"Establishing a provincial guard force is certainly a solution to the problem, but it only treats the symptoms, but cannot cure the root cause. Moreover, the future domestic environment also requires us to take advantage of certain opportunities to establish a suitable armed force"
While explaining the distribution of military power, Li Zicheng lowered his head from time to time and thought deeply. He wanted to establish an army under the State Council with Yuan Shikai's permission. The difficulties in this can be imagined, but some things must be done. The Provincial Guard is just an armed force for one province and one place. As far as the State Council is concerned, water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby. If you want to quench the thirst nearby, you have to dig a well nearby. Not only that, the establishment of that force has a deeper purpose.
"So, I hope the Army can mobilize a group of suitable officers and soldiers to join this force when the time is right!"
