Chapter 471 Released

In the three days after the meeting with Yan Chujie, Li Qingyang spent almost entirely in a state of anxiety. At the beginning of his arrest, he did have the determination to serve the country with death, but the Haihan people did not give him any advice.

This kind of opportunity for performance. After being escorted to Sanya, he was constantly interrogated, interrogated, and interrogated again. Although the Haihan people did not use any physical torture, the repeated interrogations day after day made Li Qingyang's emotions almost collapse.

, except for the internal secrets of Jinyiwei that he gritted his teeth and vowed to keep, almost everything about this operation and his own situation was completely explained in a state of confusion.

Even so, Li Qingyang knew that what he had done had violated professional ethics. To put it more seriously, it would not be too much to link it with treason. After all, Sanya was dominated by a group of armed giants who had no intention of the court and were rebellious.

In the current situation, it is possible to raise a flag and start local separatism at any time. Li Qingyang knew that even if he could be released safely, he would probably be unable to stay in Jinyiwei any longer because of the failure of this operation.

But what Li Qingyang didn't expect was that the Haihan people were so bold as to try to recruit him to serve for them. This was definitely a result beyond his expectation. Although Yan Chujie's words seemed to make sense, Li Qingyang still stubbornly believed that

Many of them are "fallacious theories", especially those who oppose the court's policies and look down on the government offices. According to Li Qingyang's temper, if you encounter such unruly people, you must immediately take them down and send them to the torture chamber to have their bones loosened.

That's it - of course, just thinking about it, I'm lucky that I haven't been dragged into the torture chamber by the Haihan people to have my bones loosened.

Li Qingyang must be lucky that he met a group of civilized people, otherwise even if he is not dead now, after being detained for such a long time, his current situation will probably be spent in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The conditions offered by Yan Chujie made him

He saw the hope of living, and after being delayed in Haihan Prison in Sanya for so long, he indeed did not have the courage to die. Now that there is hope of living, even if the conditions are harsher,

Li Qingyang was no longer willing to give up this hard-won opportunity.

As for whether doing so was a complete betrayal of Jin Yiwei and the imperial court, Li Qingyang could only comfort himself. At least he had not done anything that directly harmed the interests of Ming Dynasty. And indeed, as Yan Chujie pointed out, as long as he, Li Qingyang, remained in charge

Sanya, and regularly send reports back to Nanjing according to the original arrangement, then at least for a period of time, Nanjing will not send people over to surrender themselves. This will also avoid unnecessary personnel losses in the Jinyiwei Yamen to a certain extent.

Moreover, if the successor sent next time is a guy with unstable moral integrity, and directly surrenders to the Haihan people under coercion and inducement, wouldn't the loss that will be caused to Jin Yiwei and the Ming Dynasty court be greater and more terrible than himself? Rather than that.

, it is better to let yourself be the villain and take the blame. At least you still have some bottom line and know what you can and cannot do.

Of course, Li Qingyang does have a conciliatory mentality in his heart. Since the Haihan people are willing to give him a chance to live in Sanya for a long time, and also say that they can give him enough freedom of movement after a period of inspection, he will take this opportunity to complete the Haihan survey.

The investigation work of Haihan, and then finding a way to write a report on the true situation of Haihan and sending it back to Nanjing, can be regarded as making up for it. As for what measures Nanjing will take against Haihan, will it recommend that the imperial court send troops, or will it continue to sit back and watch?

Haihan is getting stronger and stronger, so it is no longer something that Li Qingyang can control.

However, Yan Chujie also said that whether Li Qingyang can regain his freedom will ultimately be decided by the Haihan Executive Committee. According to the information Li Qingyang has, there are nine people like Yan Chujie in the Haihan Executive Committee who are called

As the person in charge of the "Executive Committee Member", almost all major events under Haihan's rule were decided by the executive committee members through joint discussions. Li Qingyang was actually not unfamiliar with this system, because it was similar to the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet system implemented has many similarities.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty began in the fourth year of Jianwen and ended in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. It served as the national decision-making body for more than two hundred years. After Emperor Jianwen established the cabinet, he took the decision-making power of the prime minister back into his own hands.

, the power of deliberation is given to the cabinet, and the administrative power is given to the six ministries. The three local departments in charge of justice, military, and administration are directly responsible to the six ministries.

At first, the cabinet academicians only had the status of advisors and were the emperor's personal secretaries. Only the emperor had the final decision-making power, and the cabinet was not a real authority at this time. But starting from the reigns of Renzong and Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet

The status of academicians increased day by day, and their power also increased, and they became the emperor's top staff and decision-making body. At that time, all major and small memorials in the country were compiled by the General Affairs Envoy, and the Secretary of Ceremony handed them over to the emperor for review and then sent them to the emperor.

All handling opinions were formulated by the cabinet, approved by the emperor, and finally proofread and sent to local officials.

During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, after Xia Yan, Yan Song and others took charge of the cabinet, the cabinet was completely transformed into a prime minister, and his status had risen to above the six ministries. During the Wanli period, when Zhang Juzheng served as the chief minister of the cabinet, his functions and status were almost extraordinary.

Close to the status of prime minister in modern state power.

Before hearing about the ruling system of the Haihan Executive Committee, Li Qingyang, like many citizens of the Ming Dynasty, believed that imperial power plus the cabinet system was the best governing system in the world, but he had some preliminary understanding of Haihan.

Afterwards, Li Qingyang suddenly discovered that the seemingly perfect cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty actually still had many hidden dangers.

The Ming Dynasty cabinet has never obtained the status of legal administrative authority. Over the past two hundred years, no emperor has dared to violate the ancestral system and formally hand over the power to manage the world to the cabinet system. The cabinet has been unfair from beginning to end.

It has not legally become a formal administrative agency at the central level. This has led to many conflicts of interest between the cabinet, the ceremonial supervisor, the six ministries and even the imperial power, and the cabinet does not have the legal ability to suppress other administrative agencies.

Power, after all, in name only, the cabinet is only the emperor's personal staff.

There is imperial power at the top, six ministries at the bottom, and the yamen of Si Lijian standing on the same step. There are so many frameworks that govern the cabinet, and the efficiency of doing things can be imagined. And Haihan's executive committee is said to be the supreme one here.

As a decision-making body, all people living here, including the Haihan people, must obey the decrees issued by the Executive Committee. There is no imperial power on the Executive Committee that can suppress them, and there are no six ministries below that will go against them.

, and there is no eunuch institution like the Si Li Jian to fish in troubled waters. Even if Li Qingyang’s understanding of this ruling system is still at a very superficial stage, he can still imagine that the operating efficiency of this ruling institution is probably far higher than that of the Ming Dynasty government. This is probably why

It took less than three years for the Haihan people to create such a big situation in Sanya, a remote place in the countryside.

In Li Qingyang's view, the principles of Ming's cabinet discussions and Haihan's executive committee are similar. Although he doesn't know what "elite governance" means, there is no doubt that he can occupy a position in the Haihan executive committee.

Anyone who has a position should be a momentary hero. For example, the Yan Chujie who negotiated the terms with him, Li Qingyang could tell that he should be a military general. His dark and rough skin and the murderous look in his eyes were very obvious features, and Ming Dynasty

It is absolutely impossible for a military general to enter his cabinet. This is one of the differences Li Qingyang discovered between the two.

But according to what Li Qingyang knows, the Haihan Executive Committee consists of nine executive committee members. According to common sense, at least five of the nine executive committee members must think that Li Qingyang's life is worth saving, so that Yan Chujie's proposal can be approved.

Realized. And the number of votes that Yan Chujie can cast is only one-ninth. If he cannot affect the voting results, then what awaits Li Qingyang will still be a long and endless life of imprisonment. If that is the case, Li Qingyang will probably feel

It would be better to die from the beginning.

After three days of living like a year, Li Qingyang finally waited for the final sentencing. Hao Wanqing took two of his subordinates to the single cell where Li Qingyang was detained and read to him the resolution of the Executive Committee: "According to the Executive Committee

As a result of the voting on Resolution No. 3 of the fourth executive meeting in September, the following opinions are now dealt with. The application of the Haihan Security Department to admit the Jinyiwei surrender personnel into the special establishment was approved, and the surrender personnel were immediately released and given a probation period to become naturalized citizens.

Treatment, and further arrangements will be made based on performance after the inspection period is over."

Li Qingyang didn't understand the previous string of things at all, but he knew very well what the word "release" meant. When he heard these two words read out by Hao Wanqing, Li Qingyang finally grew a smile.

I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing in my heart that I had passed the most difficult time.

After Hao Wanqing finished reading the notice, he waved and said: "Unlock all the shackles for him."

"Thank you, Mr. Hao!" Li Qingyang said his thanks first, knowingly.

Hao Wanqing waved his hand and said: "We don't call you "sir" here. From now on, you will also belong to our security department. According to the rules, we will address each other by title."

"Director Hao!" Li Qingyang's mind was spinning quickly. He had heard people here call him this before when he was being interrogated by Hao Wanqing. At that time, Li Qingyang didn't quite understand whether it meant a name, a font size, or something else. Only later did he

It turns out that this "director" is an official position in the Haihan system. Li Qingyang doesn't know exactly how much power this official position has, but he at least knows that director Hao Wanqing is in charge of the field that competes with Jin Yiwei, and it seems to be absolutely

He can be regarded as the big boss in this department. If compared with the internal hierarchy of Jinyiwei, Li Qingyang believes that even if Hao Wanqing is not the top leader like the commander, he is at least a senior official at the level of the governor, commanding colleagues, or commanding the generals.

.

Li Qingyang's guess was quite close. He Xi was the head of the Security Department appointed by the Executive Committee, and Hao Wanqing was considered to be the stable second person in this organization. Moreover, the Security Department was the subordinate of the Executive Committee.

He manages a unit and has many privileges. Among the many "directors" of Haihan's various institutions, Hao Wanqing can be considered a high-ranking one.

Hao Wanqing nodded calmly in response. After his subordinates removed the shackles on Li Qingyang, he took out a second document: "What is being read out now is your appointment notice from our Haihan Security Department."

The reason why he didn't read it all in one breath just now is because Hao Wanqing was strictly following the procedures. He first completed the release process according to the resolution of the executive committee and then appointed him. Hao Wanqing cleared his throat and continued to read: "We are now hiring Daming.

Li Qingyang of Jinyiwei Hundreds is the special affairs consultant of the Haihan Safety Department. The employment period is tentatively scheduled for one year. The contract will be automatically renewed if there is no objection from both parties at the end of the period. During the employment period, the Haihan Safety Department will provide Li Qingyang with corresponding measures in accordance with the fourth-level labor standards for naturalized citizens.

The basic living treatment and work remuneration are calculated according to the internal staff standards of the Haihan Security Department. Li Qingyang must abide by the Security Department’s management codes and code of conduct. All matters related to intelligence work must follow the arrangements of the Security Department and must not leave the designated activity area without authorization.

, you are not allowed to contact outsiders at will, and you are not allowed to inquire about Haihan’s confidential affairs that have nothing to do with work..."

The content of this employment agreement is much richer than the resolution notice of the executive committee. It lists everything in detail. It also describes in great detail the responsibilities that Li Qingyang will bear and the regulations that must be followed. Li Qingyang does not dare to

Carelessly, listen carefully and carefully. This stuff will be the foundation for him to settle down in Sanya in the next one or two years. Even if there are many things in it that he doesn't understand at the moment, he has to remember them in his mind first, and wait.

When I have time later, I will slowly seek a specific explanation from Hao Wanqing.

Hao Wanqing read the document in one breath for five minutes before he finally finished reading it. This was not because the Security Department was so idle that they wrote a long article to entertain Li Qingyang, but because there was an Executive Committee member at the Executive Committee meeting the day before.

A special request was made - Li Qingyang can be released, and Li Qingyang can be hired, but this matter must be institutionalized as a precedent in laws and regulations, because with the expansion of Haihan's power in the future, this kind of appointment of defectors from other parties will

There may be more and more cases, and standardizing them will also help relevant departments to manage personnel.

The person who came up with this idea was naturally Gu Kai, who was in charge of justice, but I have to say that Gu Kai also had some insight into this idea. So the Ministry of Security had to comply with Gu Kai's request and wrote a complicated article.

The employment agreement was issued and finally approved by the executive committee.
Chapter completed!
