Beiyang reactionaries

In Xu Qian's view, Yang Yongtai is really too vicious.

"Secretary-General Yang, let's listen to what President Xu has to say."

Duan Xun only spoke slowly at this time.

Xu Qian already understood the situation today.In his heart, he scolded Duan Xun as a bastard.You usually pay attention to politics in everything you do, and deal with problems from a political perspective.Why don't you investigate the case of Song Jiaoren first, the assassination cases of the Literary Society's [-] meritorious service, and the assassination of the generals of the Yunnan Army.It's not because those things have nothing to do with you after investigation, and you won't get any benefits.

The Tao Chengzhang case, the Tang Hualong case, and the Cheng Biguang case that has been brought up again now are not targeted.The spearhead was directed at Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang.

Not only are the top Kuomintang officials wanted legally, but they also "smear" the Kuomintang from public opinion.Playing around is not just serving your interests. It is typical to regard the law as a tool.

Now you say that the law is just and fair?

"I have no excuses. I resign."

Xu Qian sighed.

He knew that Yang Yongtai's chasing and beating him was actually Duan Xun's intention behind it.Without Duan Xun's acquiescence, how could Yang Yongtai pursue him, the Chief Justice, so hard.

In this case, he chose to resign.

Xu Qian is absolutely not greedy for the position of Chief Justice.

"President Xu, don't be impulsive."

Wang Chonghui immediately persuaded Xu Qian.But Xu Qian said directly: "Prime Minister, I am not impulsive. I may have done something wrong in this matter. I resign, and I will leave now. I have nothing in the office to take away. I will no longer It's the Attorney General."

The cabinet meeting had just started, and Xu Qian resigned directly, leaving his position without looking back.Xu Qian was just a little angry. If he had known that Duan Xun would have resigned directly when Duan Xun took over Beijing.

You don't have to suffer such shame.

"President Xu."

But Xu Qian didn't take a few steps, Duan Xun called Xu Qian softly.

Xu Qian stopped, turned around and looked at Duan Xun.Duan Xun sighed: "Mr. Xu, I personally admire your attitude of not caring about high-ranking officials and generous salary, but I am very angry at your resignation."

"Prime Minister Duan, please speak directly."

"Okay, everyone is here today, so I'll just say a few words. Mr. Xu, you can resign in a very cool way, and then leave without waiting for the approval of the cabinet. Of course, when the Kuomintang was established, it should be called the Tongmenghui When it was established, there were many situations in the organization where people hung crowns and left at will. I also know this. But as the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, I think that this is definitely not a noble quality, but a very irresponsible The behavior is an behavior that must be eliminated and criticized."

Duan Xun's words made Xu Qian very angry.

student.

They all have their own arrogance.They think it is a noble state to treat fame and wealth as dung, but Duan Xun even denies this.So Xu Qian said very angrily: "Prime Minister Duan, I admit that I may have some problems in handling this matter. But I don't think you are qualified to comment on my quality."

"Mr. Xu, now that I have spoken, I will continue. You are not a scholar, you are the chief justice, and you have your responsibilities and obligations. As the chief justice, you can resign if you want to, and you have not yet been approved. Under the circumstances, you will not go to work, just put on the crown and leave. Have you ever thought that because you resigned at will and left suddenly, it is very likely to cause chaos in the Ministry of Justice, and it will also cause difficulties in the work transfer of the Ministry of Justice .Shouldn’t the correct procedure be that you resign, and you should continue to work and fulfill your responsibilities until it is approved. When the approval is approved and a new head of the Department of Justice takes office, you hand over the work to him and then leave. This is not Is it normal procedure? Is this the most responsible way?"

Many people like to talk about the casual resignation of these people in the history of the Republic of China.Think that they regard fame and fortune as dung, and praise them for their integrity.

As a reader in the past, Duan Xun also admired these scholars very much.

It feels very backbone.

But now, as the superior, as the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, he is very angry, disgusted, and even disgusted with these people.These people are simply irresponsible, they will do what they want, and they will leave if they are irrelevant.

How do you keep things going.

After hearing Duan Xun's words, Xu Qian felt even worse.He thought that Duan Xun was totally targeting himself today, making himself make a fool of himself in such a meeting.So he snorted coldly and walked out.

Duan Xun shook his head.

The scholar is angry.People like Xu Qian are suitable for teaching and can teach many outstanding students, but they are definitely not suitable for working in government departments.So Duan Xun immediately turned his head and said: "Prime Minister, I think discipline in this area should be emphasized. Government departments have serious jobs, how can they come and leave whenever they want. There are strict rules for the entry and exit of civil society organizations. Yes. Just like Director Xu, he left like this, and the Ministry of Justice wants to return to normal. I don’t know how long it will take. Then, during this process, the work of the Ministry of Justice has stopped, and who will be responsible for these losses. When the new Attorney General takes office, there is no The former Attorney General had to hand over work because he was familiar with the work of the Ministry of Justice, which is a waste of time.”

"Prime Minister Duan, it's hard to force this aspect."

Wang Chonghui frowned.

Wang Chonghui thinks what Duan Xun said is too serious.As a scholar, Wang Chonghui thinks that there is nothing wrong with Xu Qian's approach and should not be interpreted too much.But Duan Xun shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, I am not targeting Mr. Xu, nor anyone. I am talking about the work style of the government. I think that since you work in a government department, you must abide by the rules of the government department. How can you think about it?" Just come and leave if you want. I think you can leave if you want, or you can resign if you want to, but at least you should continue to work before getting approval, and the most responsible thing is to finish the final handover work."

"I agree with Premier Duan's statement."

Dai Kan opened his mouth to support Duan Xun.

He also said: "Since he is a government employee, there is work he is responsible for, and he must be responsible for the work. He can do what he wants, and leave if he has nothing to do with it. Then what should he do with the work he is responsible for? Because of his reasons, he must If there is a problem with the responsible work, who will be responsible?"

"Yes."

Yang Yongtai also came out to support Duan Xun.

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Government agencies are not places for children to play. How can they go when they want to, and leave when they don't want to play. I think there should be rules in this regard. Those who are not responsible for their own work, resign and leave at will. People are not eligible to work in government agencies.”

Seeing Duan Xun, Dai Kan, and Yang Yongtai's statements, Wang Chonghui felt quite helpless.

Cabinet meeting?

What I say is becoming less and less important.

He himself didn't really understand what Duan Xun said.He just felt that Duan Xun was making a fuss. After the establishment of the Beiyang government, it was common for senior government officials to resign.If you are not satisfied, you will immediately resign and leave.

And resign today, leave immediately.

It didn't take long before he was able to return to his post.Anyway, it was very casual, Wang Chonghui didn't think much of it.But I didn't expect Duan Xun to make such a fuss.

Wang Chonghui sighed, and could only change the subject: "Prime Minister Duan, then you see who will take over the position of Chief Xu."

322 Cabinet meeting 5

"Prime Minister Duan, let's see who will take over the position of Chief Xu."

"Prime Minister, how about Mr. Shoujing (Dong Kang)? Let Mr. Shoujing temporarily serve as the Attorney General until the official Attorney General is elected. I think Mr. Shoujing is very suitable for this position."

At present, what Duan Xun lacks most is someone who can take charge of the Ministry of Justice.

But that doesn't mean it's suitable for everyone.

In other words, Duan Xun would not recommend someone blindly.Because of recommending someone at will, it is Duan Xun's prestige that will be affected in the end.Therefore, it is prudent to choose such a person.

Duan Xun finally chose Dong Kang.

This is the veteran of the Chinese judiciary, not to mention Xu Qian who just left, and Wang Chonghui who is currently sitting on it, all of whom are descendants of Dong Kang in the judiciary.Dong Kang is 53 years old this year. He was a Juren in the 25th year of Guangxu (1889), a Jinshi in the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), and then entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice as the head.

After the establishment of the Revising Law Institute in 1902, he successively served as the editor, editor, editor-in-chief, and promotion of the Law Institute. He was the right-hand man of Shen Jiaben, the minister of law revision, and directly participated in various legislation and law revision work for the reform and revision of laws in the late Qing Dynasty.Later, he traveled to Japan several times to investigate the Japanese judicial reform, prison system, and court system. The first constitutional document in Chinese history promulgated by the Qing government in 1908, the Outline of the Imperial Constitution, was written by Dong Kang.This sum alone is enough to make Dong Kang's name go down in history.

During the Revolution of [-], Dong Kang studied in Japan again, specializing in law.

After returning to China, he has been in the judicial circle.He has held numerous positions, including that of Attorney General.It's just that Dong Kang is a member of Duan Qirui and one of the generals of the Anfu Department.
