Beiyang reactionaries

But on this day, Beijing does not know how many big shots were unable to sleep.

Because something big happened.

On June 1922, 6, everyone was waiting, waiting for the results of the prosecutor's office.This is especially true for Wang Yitang, Xu Shuzheng, Wu Jinglian, and many bigwigs in Congress.

Wang Yitang was the most anxious.

He couldn't sleep at all since the night.Because he knows better than anyone else that he must have touched Duan Xun's bottom line by mobilizing Congress this time to elect Duan Qirui as the president in the September election.

Once he fails, Duan Xun will never allow himself to remain as the chairman of the Senate.

But he can't help it now.

He can only wait for the news.Wang Yitang had been waiting for news from Liang Hongzhi, but there was no news from Liang Hongzhi all night.He called Liang Hongzhi himself, but Liang Hongzhi was neither at home nor in the office.

It's not easy for Wang Yitang to call the police station.

very nervous.

So keep an eye on developments.

The Prosecutor's Office did not disappoint.At 08:30 in the morning, the content of the investigation was already made public.First, the police station announced last night's actions, including the list of arrested MPs, photos taken at the time, statements made by restaurant staff, and other evidence.

34 MPs?

It has been nearly three months since the Cabinet announced the "Government Staff Handbook", which was signed by the President and approved by Congress.More than two months ago, because of this problem, the prosecutor's office and the police station had already had a major operation.But these members of Congress still go their own way, and they still can't stop opium.

Sure enough, so many were arrested again.

However, everyone was not completely surprised, and the prosecutor's office continued to announce more news.Last night, the police station not only sealed up the restaurant, but also arrested a large number of opium dealers and people who bought opium, and sealed up some secret bases selling opium in Beijing.

And from the mouths of these opium dealers, a large number of people who bought opium in their hands were arrested.Unexpectedly, such an arrest would involve a large number of congressmen.

How many people are involved?

According to the current situation alone, more than 20 people were involved.

sensation.

Because more and more members of Congress are involved.

After the Public Prosecutor's Office announced the results of the preliminary investigation, cabinet spokesman Chen Bulei spoke on behalf of the cabinet that afternoon.He denounced some members of Congress for repeatedly violating the promises that government workers should keep, and repeatedly involving the opium issue.Then it is stated that these members of Congress involved in the opium issue are not eligible to continue to serve as members of Congress.

Afterwards, Chen Bulei criticized Senate President Wang Yitang and House Speaker Wu Jinglian.

It is believed that Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian, as the speakers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, failed to restrain the members of Congress, causing such things to happen again and again among members of Congress.

On behalf of the cabinet, Chen Bulei questioned Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian, how should they be responsible for this incident?In the end, Chen Bulei suggested that Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian should be responsible for the repeated occurrence of such incidents among members of Congress and resign automatically.

The situation suddenly became tense.

361 Close Congress

"De Gong (Duan Xun), do you really want to close the Congress?"

sensation.

Since the Prosecutor's Office began to investigate the opium smoking of those members of Congress based on the clues provided by the police, it has focused the attention of all domestic newspapers.

Things continued to ferment.

The prosecutor's office has more and more evidence, and more and more congressmen are involved, and new lists of congressmen appear every day.Everyone is almost numb after seeing it, because there are too many congressmen involved.In just five days, more than 60 people have been exposed to opium smoking one after another, and the evidence is conclusive.

The prosecutor's office did not hide anything.

All the evidence, find one and publish it in the newspaper.As things continue to ferment, the cabinet has already spoken out that these congressmen involved in the opium issue must be disqualified.

There is no room for negotiation.

None of these people deserve to continue serving in Congress.The cabinet has even stated that regarding the qualifications of these congressmen, the prosecutor's office has handed over the information to the Supreme Court and applied for a court trial.Ask the court to terminate these members of Congress.

And what can Congress do at this time?

Do you object?

After all, there is a precedent for this matter.More than two months ago, a large number of members of Congress were terminated because of such things.There is no excuse for Congress to retain their membership in Congress.Moreover, the current congress is already in a state of desperation. Those big bosses in the congress can't wait to avoid such a thing. When everyone is shouting and beating, who would dare to speak up for them.

The Congress is acting like a tortoise, while the cabinet continues to be aggressive.As a cabinet spokesman, Chen Bulei has repeatedly questioned Senate President Wang Yitang and House Speaker Wu Jinglian in the past few days, and repeatedly criticized Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian.

Ask them how they became the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and how so many members of Congress are involved in opium, and criticize Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian for not being qualified to be the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.In fact, to be honest, what does this have to do with Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian.

The smoking of opium by these big men started in the late Qing Dynasty.

Don't say that these members of Congress who come from powerful local factions are those revolutionary party bosses, who are more or less well-known drug addicts.This is beyond Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian's control.

However, since the two of them are the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the firepower of the cabinet is directly aimed at them.

Constantly criticize Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian.

The cabinet has suggested several times that Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian should be responsible for these matters, and they chose to resign themselves.However, compared to forcing Wang Yitang and Wu Jinglian to resign, everyone is more concerned about the fact that so many members of Congress are currently involved. If their qualifications are terminated, the number of members of Congress will not be enough for a quorum.

That is to say, no meetings can be held.

Nothing can be decided in a meeting.If the quorum is insufficient, any resolution at the meeting will not have legal effect.Since there is no legal effect, it means that meetings are useless, so why do Congress keep them.

Congress is now clearly in danger of shutting down.

So Xu Shichang approached Duan Xun and asked Duan Xun what he thought.After Xu Shichang became the president, the Beijing government has undergone too many changes in the past four years.

Not only is the Congress in turmoil, but the prime minister of the cabinet alone has changed countless times.

The person who controls the Beijing government has also changed from Duan Qirui to Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin, and now it is Duan Xun.Therefore, Xu Shichang is not concerned about the turmoil in the Beijing government.

Xu Shichang only cares about his own position as president.

"President, it's not that I'm going to close Congress. It's going on as it is now. There's not enough quorum in Congress. He can only close it."

The current situation is no longer what Duan Xun wants to do.

But now, whether Congress is closed or not, it must be closed.Because even if Duan Xun doesn't close the Congress, it's useless for the Congress to put it on.You don't even have enough members of Congress for the quorum needed for a meeting.

The Congress is currently the highest legislative body in the Republic of China. If you hold a meeting because there are not enough people, you can’t make any resolutions. What’s the use of keeping the Congress.

Even if Duan Xun does not close the Congress, the Congress has already lost its function.

"Degong, this is what you want. If the Congress is closed now, and there is an election in September this year, what are you going to do?"

Xu Shichang sighed.
