"When Zhang Xun was restored, did the royal family breach the contract legally? At that time, many people from the Zongsha Party also participated. Did they also violate the law? Including many old officials from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also participated. Is it illegal?"

Dong Kang instantly understood what Duan Xun meant.

Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang, who Duan Xun had just beaten with Tao Chengzhang's case, were in a panic, and drove the Cantonese army boss out of the Cantonese army.Especially Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi thought that as long as they went to the field, the matter would be over.

But after Xu Qian resigned and left the position of Chief Justice, Weng Jingtang directly issued a warrant.The arrest warrant stated that Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi were important criminals in the prosecutor's office who released prisoners privately. Not only did the two not obey the call of the prosecutor's office, they fled Guangdong instead, so they are considered fugitives.A wanted warrant was issued to all prosecutors' offices and police systems across the country, and they can be arrested at any time as long as they are seen.

This blow was very serious for both of them.

Absolutely do not allow them to return home.But the two of them are rare military talents under the current Sun Yat-sen, and they are also rare generals with an army.If the two of them cannot return to China in a short period of time, it will deal a great blow to Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang.

Now Duan Xun is bringing up the original "Zhang Xun Restoration" again, which is to point the finger at the Manchu imperial family and Manchu clan.Dong Kang didn't know exactly how Duan Xun was going to deal with the Manchu imperial family and those clans, but he knew that Duan Xun was going to deal with them.

Therefore, he immediately said: "If it is pursued seriously, the royal family is indeed in breach of the contract. The other people involved are indeed breaking the law."

"Since the royal family has breached the contract, can we abolish the original 'clear house preferential treatment conditions' and re-sign a new treaty."

"It's theoretically possible."

Dong Kang nodded.

The restoration of Zhang Xun was a serious breach of contract for the Qing Dynasty.It doesn't matter if they are voluntary or what, anyway, if the matter of that time is a big fuss, the room will be cleared and the contract will be violated.

It's just that whether it is Duan Qirui or Cao Kun, they are all former ministers of the Qing Dynasty.At the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were all members of one party, and they were all high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.So they didn't want their reputation to be damaged, so they didn't pursue it.

Of course, Duan Qirui is more because of Zhang Xun's restoration, and he has nothing to do with it.When Zhang Xun went north, Duan Qirui sent people to instigate him.So Duan Qirui just expelled Zhang Xun, and would not really do anything to Zhang Xun.

But Duan Xun has no such burden.

To give 400 million taels to the Qing royal family every year, and to be responsible for a lot of maintenance work, it costs too much money every year.Counting from the year of [-], the money spent on them is enough to buy several cruisers if they buy naval warships.Duan Xun didn't want to continue supporting the Qing royal family.But since everyone signed the contract after the Revolution of [-], they cannot go back on their word for no reason.But whoever makes the house clean is not clean, and Zhang Xun has the handle of restoration.

Zhang Xun's restoration is a huge handle.

There are many articles that can be done seriously.

"Mr. Shijing, many people from the Zongsha Party participated in the restoration activities at that time. Once confirmed, can we confiscate the property of those people from the Zongshi Party in Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao?"

"This one……"

Dong Kang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Once it is confirmed that they participated in the restoration, then it is a violation of the original agreement between the royal family and the Republic of China. We can even issue arrest warrants for them, and confiscation of property is appropriate."

Dong Kang understood a little at this time.

Duan Xun took a fancy to the assets of the Qing royal family and the assets of those clan princes and nobles.But yes, the Manchu royal family and those princes and nobles were indeed very rich.

Although there is no specific data, Dong Kang can be sure that their apparent assets are hundreds of millions of silver dollars.If you add up the antique calligraphy and paintings in their hands, and other hidden assets, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of millions of silver dollars.

After all, these people have accumulated assets for hundreds of years.

"Is there a legal basis?"

"I can find it."

legal.

What kind of laws did the Manchu royal family and those sectarian parties know.For people like Dong Kang who play the law, it is easy to find some legal articles and convict you.

Moreover, the royal family and the sectarian party were not clean in the first place.

"Mr. Sujing, then I hope that you will be the first to take charge of this matter after you become the chief justice. The original 'clear room preferential treatment conditions' was originally a hastily produced contract with many problems. Now that the Qing Dynasty has Overthrown by us, we do not pursue the responsibility of the Manchu imperial family, but it should not be to support them. Since the Republic of China is a republican government, there is no reason to use the finances of the Republic of China to support the obligation of the former royal family. So my idea is From now on, the royal family and clan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are just ordinary people in the Republic of China. We guarantee the safety of their lives and private property, but we absolutely do not allow them to continue to be emperors.”

"According to the Prime Minister's meaning?"

"Renegotiate with the Manchu and Qing royal family, cancel the current 'cleaning room preferential conditions', and sign a new contract. The Manchu and Qing royal family must move out of the Forbidden City. I can guarantee their private property. But everything in the Forbidden City is subject to It does not belong to the royal family property, so it must be kept. In the future, the Manchu and Qing royal family will be the ordinary people of the Republic of China, and have the right to participate in politics, join the army, etc., but they are not allowed to have the previous privileges. If they disagree, then I can only use During the 'restoration of Zhang Xun', the royal family broke the contract and drove them out of the Forbidden City. At that time, everyone's face will be ugly, and the royal family will not even be able to take the money in their hands."

Dong Kang nodded.

I understood what Duan Xun meant.

Duan Xun must drive away the royal family and confiscate the property of those socialist parties.Since Duan Xun made such a decision, Dong Kang would not go against it.

"At the same time, set up the Forbidden City Management Committee to make a good statistics of how much wealth there is in the Forbidden City. The treasures in the Forbidden City are national treasures, and special attention must be paid to them. Every treasure needs to be registered."

"Yes."

"Of course, Mr. Sutra. Everything must be within the legal framework, and the legal basis must be found."

Duan Xun is not a legalist.

It's just that Duan Xun needs this at this stage, and nothing can be easily caught.If possible, Duan Xun is of course willing to let the Manchu imperial family go.

But this doesn't work.

The higher the position, the more you can't do things casually, and the more you need to know how to control.Still have to find a legal basis.It is necessary to negotiate with the Manchu imperial family in an upright manner, and to change the previously signed contract in an upright manner.

"Prime Minister, don't worry. In the restoration, the royal family, the Clan Socialist Party, and many old officials of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were all involved, and they cannot escape at all. As long as we seriously investigate, they are all problematic, and they can all get away with it." Legal grounds. But, Prime Minister, there is one more problem."

"Say."

"What about the President?"

Zhang Xun's restoration involved Xu Shichang.

Duan Xun smiled.

Then he said: "In the restoration back then, some people were active participants, some were passive participants, and more people were forced participants. We only pursue active participants, punish passive participants lightly, and let go of forced participation. The president was coerced by Zhang Xun at the time, and he neither actively participated nor passively participated. You must clearly distinguish between the serious and the serious.”

"Yes."

The reality is that.

Duan Xun would not dare to entrust the position of chief justice to those nerds who only know the law.Because those people don't understand what politics is at all, and they don't understand what the thinking behind Duan Xun is.Let them be in charge of this matter, they might make a fuss about Duan Xun, making Duan Xun even unable to step down.

Maybe they have better conduct and higher morals than politicians, but they are not the people Duan Xun needs.

Because in the current chaotic situation, that is, when the modern political system was just established, these people cannot deal with complicated situations.On the contrary, those despised politicians are more able to handle such things with ease.

Of course, this is not a healthy political environment.

But this is the case now.

Duan Xun's thoughts, those nerds will not understand.But Dong Kang is different. As a veteran in the officialdom, he knows exactly what Duan Xun is talking about and what Duan Xun wants.So I also know how to measure myself.

"Don't publicize this matter, first study the restoration case. After we finish the negotiation with Japan and control the administrative power of Qingdao, you will investigate this matter publicly, and then issue arrest warrants for people from the Zongsha Party. "

Because Qingdao was controlled by Germany in the past, and later by Japan, many sectarian socialists and other bigwigs went to Qingdao to live in seclusion.Duan Xun didn't want to disturb them in advance and let them run away after disposing of their assets.

In fact, Duan Xun has no interest in those Zong-Socialists, they are just a group of bereaved dogs, and it is impossible to cause a big storm.But very interested in their money, each of these people is very rich.
