Beiyang reactionaries

So Duan Xun is warning Wang Yitang and those congressmen.

Don't play tricks.

Cooperate well with Duan Xun.

If Duan Xun is really provoked, Duan Xun will die.Of course it was just a threat.Wang Yitang is a very smart person. Although he is a soldier, he is a very mature politician, so he knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Neither side will tear their skins apart.

Duan Xun will not really close the Congress, and Wang Yitang and the others will not make trouble for Duan Xun.Such a compromise between the two parties is called politics.

"Brother Xinye (Yang Wei), I told you before that I am more supportive of the presidential system."

"Yes."

"I want to prepare slowly. I want to change the current political system to a presidential system. At that time, I will transfer the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy, the Supreme Court under the Ministry of Justice, and the Prosecutor's Office out of the cabinet."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"Since it is a presidential system, the cabinet can only be an executive body and should not be in charge of the military. One of the aspects that can best reflect the presidential system is that the president is in charge of the military. This is the most realistic thing."

Yang Wei nodded.

army.

For Duan Xun, who was born as a warlord, the army will always come first.Because they were able to have their current status by relying on the barrel of the gun, how could they easily give up the barrel of the gun.Look at Duan Xun in front of him. While serving as the interim prime minister of the cabinet, he still holds the position of the chief of the Ministry of War. He will not give up this position.You can know how important the army is to Duan Xun.

Similarly, since Duan Xun supports the presidential system, Duan Xun will definitely become the president in the future.After Duan Xun becomes the President, he will definitely not let the military power go to others, and will definitely firmly control the military.In particular, military power will not fall into the hands of the cabinet chief.If the military is under the control of the cabinet, there will be another "fight between the government and court" between the president and the prime minister.

Yang Wei already knew this.

So there is no objection.

"Then there are the courts and the prosecutor's office. These two institutions are the judiciary. Aren't many people talking about the independence of the judiciary? If such an institution is left in the cabinet, it cannot be independent. So I mean, put the court and the prosecutor's office The two agencies became independent, independent from the Ministry of Justice, and then independent from the Cabinet."

"Independent of the cabinet?"

Yang Wei was taken aback.

It never occurred to him.

But if you think about it carefully, this is really the judicial independence that many people call for.At present, these two agencies are only some departments under the Ministry of Justice, which are directly under the command of the cabinet.

If Duan Xun separates them from the cabinet, their power will increase greatly.

"I think so. In the future, the government organization will be a presidential system, with four departments under it. The cabinet is the highest administrative organ, the military department is responsible for the work of the national army, and the court and the prosecutor's office are also parallel units. These departments are not under each other. At the same time, it is responsible to the president. Then Congress, as the highest legislative body, is responsible for reviewing important personnel appointments and reviewing laws and policies.”

"Prime Minister, this change is too big and not easy."

big change.

not easy.

After the founding of the Republic of China, many people wanted to change the "temporary agreement" passed by Sun Yat-sen and the others in Nanjing, but none of them succeeded.Duan Xun wants to change even more.

Just changing the current "responsible cabinet system" in China to a presidential system is not so easy.Not to mention changing so many departments in the cabinet.

That's even more difficult.

"That's why I came to you. I don't expect to change everything at once. I can wait, not for one year for two years, not for two years for three years, not for three years for five years. I want Brother Xinye (Yang Wei) to help me formulate Make a plan. Let's see how to complete this step by step. Let the court, prosecutor's office, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of the Navy become independent from the cabinet. Make such a big change.”

Duan Xun, the current cabinet organization, must be changed.

Including the power of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, as well as the "interim agreement" Duan Xun must be changed.Yuan Shikai and the others have always wanted to strengthen the power of the President, and have always wanted to complete the presidential system, but they have not succeeded for one reason or another.

One of the important reasons is that Yuan Shikai and the others always want to use the army to forcefully promote it.

But Duan Xun is different.

Duan Xun hopes to change step by step, cancel the "temporary contract" and complete the presidential system.In this regard, Duan Xun trusted Yang Wei very much.

Yang Wei thought about it.

Said: "I will consider it. Apart from other things, I think there is still a way to make the court and prosecutor's office independent. But I just don't know if the Prime Minister is willing to accept it."

"Tell me, let me listen."

"Create a case involving the prime minister, or the cabinet. Then, in the name of fairness, separate the court and the prosecutor's office."

"Involving me? Involving the cabinet?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

I understood what Yang Wei meant.

"What kind of case is best?"

"There are some controversial policies. Then find someone to sue the cabinet and the prime minister. This is the best excuse. In the name of fairness, it will definitely get the support of public opinion. This will not only improve the prestige of the prime minister and the cabinet, but also can be successfully completed. Prime Minister's goal."

"Okay. Help me plan this."

"it is good."

"Also, Brother Xinye. I guess the members of Congress are panicking. Please help me to appease them. I am not satisfied with the current Congress, and I really hate those who have a lot of fame and great reputation, but they are not bad at all. Those congressmen. But it doesn’t mean that I hate all congressmen. Among the current congressmen, there are still many people with good ability and good conduct. "

"I see."

"Then you are busy first."

After finishing talking with Yang Wei, Duan Xun went to the cabinet duty room.The five members of the Cabinet Standing Committee will take turns to be on duty in the Cabinet Duty Room.This is a new initiative after the establishment of the Cabinet Standing Committee.

"Prime Minister."

When Duan Xun entered the cabinet duty room, Yan Huiqing was on duty.The ones who talked with Yan Huiqing were Director of the Ministry of Justice Dong Kang, Chief Prosecutor Liang Hongzhi, Deputy Chief Prosecutor Weng Jingtang and Chief of Police You Min.There is also Lang Boyu, who is the director of the Cabinet Office.

Seeing Duan Xun come in, several people stood up.

"Sit down, what happened."

Cabinet duty room.

In fact, it is a place to deal with small daily things.Organize the daily reports of various departments, organize some daily briefings, and supervise the implementation of cabinet policies.Then a cabinet standing committee will be convened every half a month to sort out these matters.

Usually there is no big deal.

But why are there so many people here today?Duan Xun immediately judged that something big had happened.
