Su Jue stepped up his tone and spoke out in a sudden tone, which made Su Haisheng shrink back and not dare to answer the question.
Su Haisheng felt a little guilty.
But it has to be said that in addition to the position of commander of the corps, Su Haisheng also held the position of commander of the border army. The combination of these two positions gave him very great power on the western border of the Ming Dynasty.
The power to launch small-scale limited wars alone is enough to lay the foundation of his identity. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is obvious to all. An army of one thousand people can defeat the results of five or six thousand people in other countries. What else is there to say?
The most direct feeling this kind of power brought to Su Haisheng was the subservience and absolute obedience of the vassal country.
When those monarchs and powerful people in their country saw him, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. They didn't dare to make any mistakes. Everyone smiled when they saw him. Whatever he asked for, they were all right, yes, yes.
This indeed inadvertently boosted his personal consciousness and made him feel that I was the best in the world, which was very pleasant.
But the People's Congress did not give him this treatment, and it still vetoed what should have been vetoed.
This incident made him very unhappy and angry. He felt that his dignity had been challenged, which made him furious.
So, fueled by alcohol, he said something that horrified him when he woke up this morning.
If Su Yonglin knew about this, wouldn't it be completely over?
Su Yonglin would not let him get used to him. No matter how great his achievements were and how many people he stood upright to boss around, in front of Su Yonglin, he would always be the Su Haisheng from the beginning.
Su Haisheng could only hope that they would be loyal and not tell Su Yonglin these things. Otherwise, if Su Yonglin was really angry, Su Haisheng would have no choice.
And from the current perspective, Su was definitely not a completely merciless person. From his words, Su Haisheng smelled the smell of success in survival.
So he quickly spoke softly.
"I really don't have any bad intentions. I really control myself very well. I really didn't make any mistakes. I accepted all the gifts they gave me, but they were all put into the public account and used as military expenses." Yes, I haven’t embezzled a penny.
And they wanted to give me women, but I sternly refused. Don’t worry, as a soldier and a revival member, I still have strict requirements on myself, that is... even this drunken gaffe is something I can’t help. You... …”
He kept ogling Su Jue.
Su Jue felt depressed for a while.
Thinking of the days when they ate from a pot, drank from a bottle, and slept in bed, he sighed deeply.
"Haisheng, you still have to pay more attention to your words and deeds. What did the chairman say? The higher you are in a high position, the more you must know how to restrain yourself. The more successful you are in restraining yourself, the more successful your future achievements will be. Other I won’t say much more so that I can take care of myself.”
With that said, Su Jue closed the door and saw off the guests.
Su Haisheng stood at his door, smacking his lips, snickering, and then ran to find Zhang Yuejing.
Zhang Yuejing's face was much darker than Su Jue's, and his sharp eyes made Su Haisheng feel scared.
"Are you sober?"
"Wake up, fully wake up."
"Do you remember what you said last night?"
"I remember, I remember everything, so I came here to help you, Lao Zhang, don't worry about it, my mouth... I can't think straight after drinking, you..."
"There are some things I can pretend I didn't hear or see, but there are some things I can't."
Zhang Yuejing said sharply: "Especially things related to the country's fundamental system, Haisheng, do you know that your thoughts are dangerous?"
Su Haisheng swallowed.
"Lao Zhang, I'm not really against it. I just feel unhappy, so I made a few complaints."
Zhang Yuejing sneered.
"That's called complaining? That's a direct attack on the chairman himself. Su Haisheng, you really repay your kindness!"
Su Haisheng knew that he had most likely pissed off Zhang Yuejing, so he didn't dare to say too much. He just kept begging for mercy and saying soft things, saying that he had made a gaffe while drunk, which was not true. From today on, he would never drink alcohol, and he would definitely Deep reflection.
I just beg Zhang Yuejing not to tell Su Yonglin these drunken words.
Zhang Yuejing stared at Su Haisheng for a while, then snorted with a dark face.
"Take care of yourself!"
Then he closed the door and stopped talking to Su Haisheng.
Su Haisheng pondered for a while, then returned to his small courtyard in a gray state, feeling deeply that drinking was a waste of time.
But then again, Su Haisheng felt that the few words he complained about were not too exaggerated, because what he said was also true.
Things that can be solved easily by everyone have to involve a bunch of people, regardless of their expertise. If you really want it, just ask the grassroots soldiers to discuss it with them. Military democracy is everyone’s responsibility. It’s traditional, no one thinks it’s bad.
But why are you bringing in a large group of farmers and workers?
Do they also know what war is and logistics is?
Sighing, Su Haisheng took out his rejected proposal on military logistics construction and revised it.
His main intention was to ask the court for money to invest in the western frontier, hoping to pave the way for him to further gain credit, but he was refused. Of course he was very angry.
He didn't plan to attend today's meeting and there was no need to attend. He was going to revise the proposal in the small courtyard and try to get it passed. This was the most important thing.
The process of the People's Congress on the second day was also very tight. At the end of the day, a total of four proposals were passed, and two proposals were not passed. The sun was shining brightly at the beginning, and the sky was full of stars at the end.
After Su Yonglin officially announced the end of the conference on the second day, he stopped Zhang Yuejing, who lived relatively close to Su Haisheng, and asked why Su Haisheng didn't come today.
Zhang Yuejing paused, looking a little unnatural.
"He must have failed the application, so he didn't come."
Su Yonglin found it funny.
"If the proposal doesn't pass, then it doesn't pass. Modify it and submit it a second time and try again. Why don't you even come to the conference?"
"The invincible general on the battlefield was defeated in this hall. I guess he felt unhappy."
Zhang Yuejing smiled bitterly and said, "Just let him go. I guess he is also revising the proposal."
After hearing this, Su Yonglin sighed.
"I know about Hai Sheng's proposal. He just wants to increase Ming's military investment in the northwest border, giving him some room for further activities. But in the next five years, Ming's military investment will focus on the southwest and east. The Northwest needs stability.
Therefore, I did not support his proposal at the Central Representative Conference, nor did I support it at the People's Congress. It is estimated that many people saw my attitude and did not choose to support it. Hai Sheng's proposal was not passed. . "
"It's normal to fail, but maybe he just couldn't figure it out."
Zhang Yuejing also struggled for a while, but he still felt that Su Haisheng should be given a chance, so he did not tell Su Yonglin about Su Haisheng's drunken words.
"Above Heaven"
Su Yonglin didn't say anything about this, but asked Zhang Yuejing to persuade Su Haisheng to be more open-minded and told him that as long as the meeting was held, even Su Yonglin's own proposals might be rejected, let alone other people's proposals.
Times have changed, and the Ming Empire will become the Ming Democratic Republic. No matter from which perspective, what should change must be changed.
Zhang Yuejing just nodded.
Looking at his expression, Su Yonglin seemed to have an idea.
"Yue Jing, tell me, among us old people, do some of us think it's boring for me to organize this people's congress? It was obvious that we could do very well before just discussing and making decisions on our own, but now it has to go through such a big process. Is this a troublesome process?"
