Chapter 10: Peng Gongwang Enters the Prime Minister's Office in Fright(1/2)
In Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, generals have been welcomed and sent away in the past few days. They all came to report to their president, "Feng Guozhang is the first. Feng Guozhang is gone. Jin Yunpeng of Shandong
Here they come; Jin Yunpeng is gone, Li Chun from Jiangxi is here, Yan Xishan from Shanxi, Zhang Xiluan from Fengtian, Duan Zhigui from Hubei, and General Tang Xiangming from Hunan are squeezing in with their toes on their heels as if they have bought theater tickets and entered the theater.//www.

While generals from these provinces were summoned one after another, some people discovered that generals who were not in charge of the military affairs of a province were also summoned, such as Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division in Fengtian, and Wang Zhanyuan, commander of the Second Division in Hubei.
People were a little surprised:
"Why did they also enter the Zhongnanhai Sea?
While people are full of doubts, they turn their attention to the State Council. They want to see what "Xiao Prime Minister Li" is doing. Now, people will never doubt that "Xiao Prime Minister Li"
"The ability to run an industry.
Within two months of taking office, a National Industrial Development Plan was issued. According to the content of the industrial development plan, in addition to direct investment in industrial projects by the government, it is more aimed at guiding the direction of industrial investment. Just now
At first, some people thought it was just a "paper plan."
However, a month ago, when Qian'an Iron and Steel Company invested 6 million yuan in start-up capital from the government, Lianyun Iron and Steel Company invested 15 million yuan to hold 49% of the shares, and at the same time sold equity subscriptions of 10 million yuan to the country.
Qian'an Iron and Steel Company then started construction.
At the same time, dozens of industrial projects were launched one after another under the guidance of the government and with the subscription of shares by people from all walks of life in the country. Even the president invested millions of yuan in projects such as the Baotou Woolen Factory and the Tianjin Power Plant.
, Jiangnan Shipyard expansion, Datong Coal Mine, Tianjin Yaxin Cotton Spinning Company, Qingdao Shipbuilding Company and a series of "Ministry of Industry and Commerce Guidance" projects.
Although among these dozens of industrial projects, even the smallest flour mill has an investment of one million yuan, but no one has questioned "Premier Li"'s plan. In the eyes of many people, this is a
Whoever can catch up with the "God of Wealth Car" in the class will get rich, and "General Manager Xiao Li" has the reputation of "Xiao Li God of Wealth", so corporate stocks are often sold out by people from all walks of life as soon as they are launched.
"... Soon the whole of China will become a construction site, and every province will have at least one newly launched large-scale industrial project! My goal is to promote the comprehensive development of China's industrial economy, especially the development of heavy industry, within four years.
I believe, as I promised everyone, this is a change! And the change has already begun!”
In the end, as promised again in the broadcast, the State Council seemed to have spent all its energy on industrial development and did not seem to have any reaction to Yuan Shikai's changes. However, some people with a keen sense of smell still noticed that the State Council
There have also been changes in the House of Representatives recently. Just like today, Li Zicheng, in his capacity as Prime Minister, made an appointment with the Speaker of the Hunan Provincial Assembly, Peng Zhaohuang, who had just arrived in Beijing.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Peng Zhaohuang was led by the attendant to the Prime Minister's residence in the Guest House. When he entered the Prime Minister's office in the east hall on the first floor of the Prime Minister's residence, he saw the young man again.
At that time, he felt confused for a while. He didn't know why the prime minister made an appointment with him.
For Peng Zhaohuang, who was born in Juren, studied in Japan at official expense, and graduated from the Political Science and Law Department of Waseda University, Li Zicheng, who had already stood up and greeted him, had a complicated feeling.
When he was studying in Japan, Peng Zhaohuang participated in the Xingzhong Society and later transferred to the Tongmenghui. He followed Sun Yat-sen in anti-Qing revolutionary activities and participated in the Revolution of 1911 with Huang Xing. In the second year of the Republic of China, after the "Song Case" occurred, he even
He called Yuan in the name of the Provincial Speaker, and after being wanted, he avoided Yunnan. It was not until Huang Xing and others returned to China that his arrest warrant was lifted, and he returned to Hunan and joined the State Affairs Research Association.
However, in the election of the Hunan Provincial Assembly, the Chinese Political Research Association barely had a majority. Later, with the support of the Hunan National Socialist Party, his former chairman was elected as the speaker of the Provincial Assembly.
Half a month ago, when Zhang Taiyan invited him to Beijing in the name of deputy speaker of the Senate, he was secretly surprised. After the election of the Hunan Provincial Assembly, the members of the National Socialist Party did not stop the provincial assembly.
He once criticized Hunan local governments for levying excessive and excessive taxes, and tried many times to pass a bill to abolish those excessive taxes. However, because it failed to gain majority support, the resolution was not passed.
The reason why it was not passed was that the National Affairs Research Association represented by Peng Zhaohuang did not give him support. Why did Zhang Taiyan invite him to come to Beijing? Although he did not want to come, he did not dare not to come. In the end,
After thinking about it for several days, I decided to come to Beijing.
After coming to Beijing, Peng Zhaohuang first visited Huang Xing, the general manager of the National Affairs Research Institute who was obsessed with "industrial" management. Then, he went to see Zhang Taiyan, but Zhang Taiyan did not talk about anything between the National Affairs Research Institute and the National Society.
The party's entanglement was just to give him a few books, but those books described the political struggles within the U.S. Congress and the French Congress, and the most important thing was the difference in national power between the two countries caused by the political struggles between the two Congresses.
place, this was obviously reminding him.
"Members of Congress work for the benefit of the people, regardless of party affiliation, and put the people first!"
Later, Zhang Taiyan told him that the Prime Minister wanted to meet him. That Prime Minister was naturally the Prime Minister of the National Socialist Party. Not only that, he was also the Prime Minister of State, the Prime Minister who had asked him to give a speech when he gave a speech in Hunan.
He was quite impressed by the young man.
When Li Zicheng, who was wearing a suit, saw Peng Zhaohuang enter his office, he stood up from his desk and greeted him.
"How does it feel to be the speaker again? Speaker Peng!"
At this time, Peng Zhaohuang realized that the president he was facing was so young. No wonder people called him Mr. Li. If he hadn't known his identity earlier, judging from his striking appearance,
Basically, he is a young man who is even in college, but his strong physique and a handsome face with clear outlines are not what ordinary college students have. Maybe college students will have the latter, but with a strong physique like his,
But not everyone has it. Very
"Brother Gongwang, my name is Li Zicheng!"
Li Zicheng said and stretched out his hand suddenly, with the same sincerity on his face as in the past.
Faced with Li Zicheng's enthusiasm and closeness, Peng Zhaohuang... he didn't even know whether he should be called "General Manager" or what title he should be called7
For the first time, Peng Zhaohuang found himself so nervous that he even shook hands with him in awe. Suddenly he felt proud to stand in front of him. He tried hard to say something.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, how happy I am to see you,"
What can be said about being with such a character?
Suddenly, thinking about his thoughts along the way, Peng Zhaohuang realized that if he put aside all negative emotions and looked at this young man only from the perspective of the country, Li Lianyun was an admirable and admirable person anyway.
, he has done things that many people cannot do, and compared to too many "politicians" in the country, his attitude of putting the country first in everything really leaves people speechless.
In fact, in the past two months, everything Li Lianyun has done since he took office as Prime Minister is different from making him awe. What he has done will only make people admire him, and then he will have nothing to say. In the end
No longer willing to follow this young man who is "wholeheartedly serves the country".
"Brother Gongwang, please take a seat."
Turning around and pointing to the sofa in the office, Li Zicheng gestured and walked towards the sofa.
But when his mood calmed down, Peng Zhaohuang suddenly realized what Li Zicheng's words meant when the two met for the first time.
At this time, he saw Li Zicheng pouring tea for himself. He didn't look at him until he put the teacup on the coffee table.
“To be honest, Brother Gongwang, I can’t tell you how excited I was when I learned that the National Socialist Party won 31% of the seats in the Hunan Provincial Assembly!
When Li Zicheng spoke, Peng Zhaohuang always looked at him cautiously. He smiled slightly when he spoke, his eyes were bright, but there was no trace of slyness in his expression.
"I originally thought that the existence of the National Socialist Party in Hunan was victory. Even if they left empty-handed, I didn't think it was any surprise, after all."
Looking at Peng Zhaohuang, Li Zicheng laughed.
"Hunan is one of the bases of the National Affairs Research Association!"
At this moment, Peng Zhaohuang was nervous at first, but then he felt that the tone was not very scary, and he felt a little calmer. So he said:
"The National Socialist Party established a party branch in Hunan, but it only took half a year, but it can become the second largest party in the provincial council. If it continues to develop, by the time of the lower bound provincial council election, the National Socialist Party will definitely win the provincial council election!"
What Peng Zhaohuang said was true. No one with a little foresight could ignore the "threat" posed by the National Socialist Party. The reason why the Hunan State Affairs Research Association, headed by Peng Zhaohuang, opposed the National Socialist Party's bill was to take advantage of it.
This prevents the "National Socialist Party from seeking fame" and prevents the National Socialist Party from growing in size.
But the final facts were beyond their imagination. After the first vote on the bill, the National Socialist Party members would always tell reporters that they had tried their best. Although they failed, they would never give up for the benefit of the people. At the same time,
They also called on "people of insight and people who love the people of all parties in the parliament to give support" and turn disadvantages into advantages. What people see are the members of the National Socialist Party who are doing justice to the people, what they see are the National Affairs Research Institute, and colleagues of the Progressive Party.
The collusion of corrupt officials.
On the way here, he had already thought that for the National Socialist Party, whether their bill is passed or vetoed, it is a victory for them. If it passes, they have fulfilled their original campaign promise. If it is vetoed, then
It was their small number of seats in parliament, state affairs, the collusion between the two progressive parties and corrupt officials that led to their failure.
Ultimately, at the next election, people will naturally make a choice. Who will they choose?
"Brother Gongwang, now...I am very disappointed!"
While talking, Li Zicheng took out a cigar from the cigar box and lit it. Then he sighed again and slowly blew out the first puff of smoke from his mouth and nostrils.
"To be honest, Brother Gongwang, I used to have high expectations for Hunan Province. The deeds of the Dukes of the National Affairs Research Association for the country are still engraved in my heart by Zicheng. I think..."
He blew out a puff of cigar smoke and stared at Peng Zhaohuang. His expression was a little frightened, but also a little puzzled. For Peng Zhaohuang, he was indeed a little puzzled. Why did Li Lianyun say that he was very disappointed?
Although what he wants to say is his business and has nothing to do with Peng Zhaohuang, Peng Zhaohuang still wants to know what will make the Prime Minister of the State, who is also the Prime Minister of the National Socialist Party, treat him and Hunan
, feeling disappointed with the National Affairs Research Association.
"I think that when some people propose proposals related to state affairs and the people, others can also abandon their party affiliation and work together to benefit the people, but..."
While smiling bitterly, he shook his head helplessly, and then Li Zicheng added.
"But what happened in the end made me realize that maybe my idea was too naive. For the Chinese, they would rather see the party than the people, and prefer factions to the country. No wonder..."
He raised his head and looked directly at Peng Zhaohuang Li Zicheng, who looked a little anxious, and said again.
"Liang Zhuoru would choose "enlightened autocracy" because the Chinese people do not know how to cooperate. China is already in disarray. With such factional views, how can we achieve the goal of becoming a strong country!"
With a long sigh, Li Zicheng fell silent, but Peng Zhaohuang did not speak. He knew that what Li Lianyun said was the truth. In fact, Li Lianyun's words were like needles, piercing his heart one after another. Indeed, since he became the speaker again,
, the issue considered is not how to seek welfare for the people of Hunan, at least that is not the first priority, but how to suppress the National Socialist Party and squeeze the National Socialist Party's living space as its own duty. Is this the job of the speaker?
Obviously, this is not the case!
At this time, no matter how Li Zicheng accused him, even scolded him, or spurned him, he had no excuse. During the election, didn't he also vow to work for the benefit of the people? He wanted to work for the benefit of the people.
Are you willing to sacrifice your own life? Now it seems that those so-called promises are not just talk.
"total……"
Before Peng Zhaohuang could speak, Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said seriously.
To be continued...
