Years of the Republic of China 1913

Nodding silently, Zhou Yuanliang had been trembling before, assisting Fang Zida in setting up the Secret Service. He had never made any mistakes over the years, and he was regarded as his confidant.However, after the Secret Service was revoked and the Intelligence Bureau was newly established, Zhou Yuanliang's power was not weakened, but even greater than before.In addition, the Security Bureau, which stands side by side with the Intelligence Bureau, does not have a formal director position, which means that Zhou Yuanliang's status is equal to that of the ancient Dongchang Factory Supervisor or Jin Yiwei Commander, and his power is three points greater than that of ordinary lieutenant generals or even generals. .

When a person reaches this point, his character will change.Although Zhou Yuanliang was still loyal to Fang Zida, personal greed for enjoyment, pursuit of luxury life, neglect of work, etc. gradually happened to him.Over time, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, and this is what happened before.

"Brother, you are right. This matter is indeed my problem. Even if I am more vigilant, nothing will happen later." Zhou Yuanliang sighed remorsefully, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down. After he put down the cup, there was another trace of anger in his expression.

"I don't blame sir, really! I don't complain at all! I, Zhou Yuanliang, depended on my husband's cultivation, and I can never repay this kindness in my life! But! No matter how negligent I am, my loyalty to my husband has never changed, but he Yang Yongtai What is it? I started working in the secret service all these years, step by step to today, he played a little trick to think that I was blind? One thing in front of the face, another in the back, stabbing people with a knife, thinking that he was smart? I Pooh!"

The more he talked, the more angry Zhou Yuanliang grabbed the jug and poured himself another glass. He wiped his mouth and cursed: "It's good now, he has fulfilled his wish? Dreaming! As long as I, Zhou Yuanliang, are still in the intelligence bureau for a day, the intelligence bureau will Not all surnames are Yang! We still don’t know who will win the battle, the hero is the one who laughs last!”[

"Okay! Don't drink!" Seeing Zhou Yuanliang talking more and more angry, he went to get the flagon after drinking, and was held down by Zhang Huchen as soon as he raised his hand: "If Yang Changqing didn't do anything wrong, if it weren't for you If you have a problem, you will not let others take advantage of it. To tell you the truth, Mr. knows this in his heart. Otherwise, why would you, the ex-director who was dismissed, still assist the Intelligence Bureau?"

"I understand...Brother...I understand...." Zhou Yuanliang shed two lines of tears, shook his head and sighed: "After I was dismissed that day, my husband said a few words to me, although he didn't say it clearly, but in my heart I understand what he means. Otherwise, I would have turned against Yang Yongtai a long time ago, so why would I be willing to help him manage the Intelligence Bureau?"

"The overall situation is the most important thing!" Zhang Huchen nodded.It was precisely because Zhou Yuanliang was a sensible person that he would say these words. If Zhou Yuanliang broke his can after he was dismissed, he would confront Yang Yongtai in the intelligence bureau, and the intelligence work would be messed up.This means that Zhou Yuanliang is purely a dou who cannot be supported, Fang Zida will not give him any chance, even Zhang Huchen will look down on him.

And now.To Zhang Huchen's relief, Zhou Yuanliang made the best choice.This can be seen from his current cooperation with Yang Yongtai and his efforts in the work of the Intelligence Bureau. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Huchen went out of his way to find Zhou Yuanliang for a long time before leaving Beijing.

Yang Yongtai and Yang Du are Fang Zida's think tanks, but unlike Yang Du, Yang Yongtai's ambition is obviously much greater than Yang Du's.Yang Du is the successor of the art of the emperor, and his lifelong wish is to become Yao Guangxiao, who supported Ming Chengzu, who is generally famous in history, and has little desire for actual power.But Yang Yongtai is not Yang Du.Although Yang Yongtai is now Fang Zida's secretary-general, his status is not low, but compared to Yang Du, Yang Yongtai's real power is still slightly inferior.This is very uncomfortable for Yang Yongtai, who has always regarded himself very highly.Of course, given the relationship between Yang Yongtai and Yang Du, it was impossible for him to point the conflict at Yang Du, not to mention that he also knew the character of this friend, and he also knew the importance of Yang Du in Fang Zida's heart.

So.Yang Yongtai wanted to gain real power in the government, so he had to find another way.After pondering and pondering, it is absolutely impossible for him to be transferred to the chief minister of various cabinet ministries in his current position. At most, he will get a false title of deputy minister.Moreover, once he becomes the deputy minister of a certain department in the cabinet, he must resign from his current position as secretary-general of the State Council, and he cannot have both.With Yang Yongtai's knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to do such a stupid thing.

In addition, Yang Yongtai can only set his sights on a position where he can work part-time and gain strong power.Looking around, after scanning for a long time, there are only two places that meet this point, and that is the Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau.The Security Bureau doesn't need to think about it.In fact, Fang Zida personally takes care of the position of director, not to mention that Chen Guofu, the deputy director, has not been in office for a long time, and Jiang Zhiqing, Yang Du and others are behind him, so it is quite difficult to replace him.From this point of view, the position of chief of intelligence bureau is the last choice, and Zhou Yuanliang who wants to get the position of chief of intelligence bureau becomes Yang Yongtai's roadblock.

In order to achieve his goal, Yang Yongtai began to study Zhou Yuanliang deliberately.After his investigation, the relationship between Zhou Yuanliang and Fang Zida, how he made his fortune, and how he climbed step by step from the Secret Service to where he is today have all been revealed.Of course, these things are not secrets, anyone who is interested can find out after just asking, and Zhou Yuanliang never thought that someone would target him behind his back.

Yang Yongtai has been preparing for several months. Although Zhou Yuanliang's character of coveting comfort and comfort gradually emerged shortly after he became the chief of the intelligence bureau, Zhou Yuanliang is still qualified for the job of the intelligence bureau in general. After all, he has worked in the intelligence bureau for so many years. In intelligence work, some trivial matters will not bother him.

Yang Yongtai didn't catch Zhou Yuanliang for a while, so he was not in a hurry.From my point of view, with Zhou Yuanliang's increasingly arrogant temperament and deepening habit of seeking pleasure, there will be problems one day.As expected, after a long time, Yang Yongtai finally caught a small pick, which was the information about the death of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.

Speaking of this information, the Intelligence Bureau got the news immediately.But because the source of the news happened to be in the hands of a member of the Intelligence Bureau, and this person had a good personal relationship with Yang Yongtai.After learning the information, this person did not notify Zhou Yuanliang immediately, but quietly told Yang Yongtai. Yang Yongtai's first reaction was that the opportunity had come.

After confessing in private, this information was not reported to Zhou Yuanliang as an urgent report, but Zhou Yuanliang was misled by the people below so that he gave inspection instructions without knowing the content of the information.Later, under the instigation of Yang Yongtai, the news was transferred from the Intelligence Bureau to the Far East region through other channels without anyone noticing, and was known to the orthodox government of the Russian Empire.Everyone knows what happened next. After getting the news, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire immediately contacted the Chinese government. Since Yang Yongtai was responsible for most of the contacts, he found Fang Zida with this information.

Success is also intelligence, and failure is also intelligence.Zhou Yuanliang has been doing intelligence work for so many years, and he actually gave someone a lesson on this. It is conceivable how deep the resentment in his heart is.However, Zhou Yuanliang is not an ordinary person, he seems to know nothing on the surface, after this incident, he cooperated 100% with Yang Yongtai, who succeeded him, and he also curbed his bad habits a while ago, and returned to his work with diligence. middle.

But in private, Zhou Yuanliang finally vented his anger. Now he wished he could bite off the flesh of Yang Yongtai to relieve his hatred.But some things can only be said in front of Zhang Huchen. If it were another person, he, Zhou Yuanliang, would not confide a word.

After comforting Zhou Yuanliang a few words, Zhang Huchen stopped mentioning this matter, and instead talked about his plans and plans after going to the 78th regiment.At the same time, he asked Zhou Yuanliang for information about Russia. After all, Zhou Yuanliang was the chief of the intelligence bureau before, and he knew everything about overseas intelligence, especially Russia.

Facing Zhang Huchen, Zhou Yuanliang did not hide anything, and took the initiative to remind him of some things, and told him some confidential information about Russia that he knew.These situations are what Zhang Huchen urgently needs. With these, the work he carried out after he went to the north will be much more convenient.

The drink lasted until late at night, and Zhou Yuanliang, who let go of his heart, finally got drunk. In the end, Zhang Huchen found a driver to send Zhou Yuanliang back.After sending Zhou Yuanliang away, Zhang Huchen did not go back to his house, but got into another car that had been arranged earlier, and went to Fang Zida's official residence.

"Did you meet San'er just now?" In the middle of the night, Fang Zida did not take a break, and was still reviewing and approving documents in the study. Zhang Huchen was directly received into the mansion by the guard because of his special status, and knocked on the door to enter the study.After entering the room, Fang Zida looked up to see Zhang Huchen when he heard the movement, put down the pen in his hand, picked up the cigar that was put aside and asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir……."[

"Did you say something on Wednesday? About Yang Changqing?"

"Yes sir, but the third son..." Zhang Huchen hesitated to speak, frowning slightly as if he wanted to say something nice for Zhou Yuanliang.

Waving his hand, Fang Zida sighed softly: "I understand, you don't need to say it. I supported Wednesday's son. As long as he doesn't betray me, he will still have a chance in the future. It's not a bad thing to teach him a lesson this time." Huchen, let’s forget about the affairs in Beijing, the north side is by my side, pay attention to your own safety on the battlefield.”

Zhang Huchen felt Fang Zida's inner concern, and he couldn't help having a sore nose as a gentleman.Standing at attention and saluting, he confidently promised with the standards of a soldier: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hu Chen will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

Putting down his hands, Zhang Huchen got down on his knees and kowtowed three times to Fang Zida after performing the military salute. After getting up, he turned and left without saying anything.
