On the white marble steps of the Capitol, watching the limousine Woren,

In fact, Tang Shaoyi himself didn't know why he sighed, but he just felt that all that happened in the Capitol today was a bit illusory. He is increasingly uncertain about the direction of the country's development.

"In the end, it's old, it's up to the young people to be young in the future, the future Congress, I'm afraid it will also be the Congress of the Young Zhuang faction, like us old men, I'm afraid that we will all stand aside in the future."

Hearing someone complaining behind him, Tang Shaoyi turned his head to look. The person who spoke was Ministry Tingbi, and there was another congressman standing next to him, Zhou Xuexi, at this moment, the two of them looked quite depressed, and they could see a trace of sadness and sadness.

"Don't be so pessimistic, the country is a country for all the people, and this country includes the young Zhuang faction. Including our old men, the so-called old man is ambitious, you don't need to worry about not having your place in this parliament in the future. ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled. Said a few words. However, some words are insincere, in fact, even he himself feels that he is beyond his strength. The years are unforgiving. What's more, there are so many juniors in the back who are staring at his position, and he can't let Xian if he doesn't want to.

"You also laugh, when the time comes, their gang of young Zhuang factions will seize power, and you, the old man, the prime minister, will have to get out!"

Zhou Xuexi scolded with a smile. Then he restrained his smile, changed his words, and said, "I wonder if Zhang Jizhi can survive?" This anger really almost killed him. ”

"I think it's a little bit bad."

Tang Shaoyi sighed again and looked in the direction where the limousine was gone, but there was no trace of the car, and it was obviously far away.

It was the limousine that took away the unconscious Vice President Zhang Sai, and since he fainted in the Congress chamber, Vice President Zhang has not woken up again, and the congressmen carried Vice President Zhang out of the conference hall in a panic. Stuff into that limousine. The president of the Republic of China personally escorted the car. Pull to the nearest hospital for first aid, as for whether you can relieve yourself. No one is sure that, according to the initial diagnosis of a congressman with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, this could be a stroke. As for how Western medicine will diagnose it, it is still unknown, and this plenary session of the National Assembly was abruptly suspended because of this, and the parliamentarians have no intention of meeting and are discussing the matter.

Zhao Bei threw out an "inheritance tax bill", which was like throwing a bomb in a pond that was not very calm, which was no more powerful than the bomb he threw at the city gate back then. Just one guy has blown up many parliamentarians and politicians, and Vice President Zhang is just one of the most unfortunate. And there are a lot of people who have been hurt, and even Tang Shaoyi, a politician who has always been known as "a clean breeze with two sleeves", is a little worried about his legacy after a hundred years.

How the inheritance tax will be collected is still unknown, but everyone is not stupid. They are well aware. Zhao Bei threw out this inheritance tax bill, and he threw this bombshell at this juncture, this intention is by no means simple, and it is not for "social justice" as he claimed, combined with another bombshell thrown by Zhao Bei, the "Veterans Suffrage Act". These two things are actually one thing in themselves, and that is to buy people's hearts, especially the poor.

Small businessmen and the middle class are just that. They don't have much property, and the inheritance tax may not be worth it, but those big chaebols and big businessmen are distressed, like Zhang Sai, Zhou Xuexi, and Bu Tingbi, these people are all representatives of the big chaebols, although Zhao Bei has not explained how this inheritance tax should be collected and how high the tax rate is, but out of instinct, no chaebol wants to see that he will be slaughtered a hundred years later, and the family business that he has saved through hard work and hard work will be forcibly divided into a large piece, which cannot be accepted by them in any case.

In this sense, since the "inheritance tax bill" was thrown, the contradiction between Zhao Bei and the chaebol has become irreconcilable.

Admittedly, under a constitutional system. As long as Congress doesn't nod its head, even the president won't be able to approve this estate tax bill. But the problem is that the current foundations of this constitutional system are very shaky, and it depends on the parliamentarians to maintain it, but even more so on the support of the "Far Eastern madman".

However, this inheritance tax bill was proposed by the "Far East madman", so as long as someone with a little political acumen is concerned, I am afraid that Zhao Bei will not strongly support this bill, and once the madman goes crazy. Even Congress is unlikely to stop him. The more than 10,000 veterans and active-duty military personnel standing in front of the Capitol are the most powerful proof of this!

Everything depends on strength. Now, the congressmen have formed two camps with distinct positions because of Zhao Bei's combination punch. The power of Congress itself has been severely weakened, and at the same time, it has largely lost the support and trust of its people at the bottom as a result of its support for the president's proclamation of martial law. In such a situation, what kind of counteraction can Congress take?

"Congress is almost a decoration, and mob politics is not far off." Zhou Xuexi sighed, quite helpless.

"Mob politics? You underestimate Zhao Zhenhua too much, and Qiangang's dictatorship is his pursuit.

Ministry Tingbi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Both of them went to look at Tang Shaoyi, but saw Tang Shaoyi silent, and after a while, Tang Shaoyi glanced at the two. Then he said unhurriedly: "Both, it's useless what we say or do now, let's wait and see what happens." Since Zhao Zhenhua dared to throw out this inheritance tax bill. Then he must have made up his mind, and I'm afraid that this matter can't be changed. Zhao Zhenhua is right, this, society needs to be transformed, otherwise, sooner or later there will be turmoil, the Russian Revolution and Italy

"I see. Now Zhao Bei is playing this set of "fascists.!" Coercing public opinion, coercing the government and Congress, this is not fascism, what is fascism? Do you have to practice fascist rites to make fascism unsuccessful? ”

Ran Xuexi shook his head again and again, disagreeing with Tang Shaoyi's opinion.

"What's the use of talking about that now? In the past, I still supported Zhao Zhenhua's comeback and cleaned up this mess, but now, I also have to think carefully about who to vote for. ”

"Still vote? Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that a coup d'état is about to happen. Zhou Xuexi muttered.

"It's hard to say."

Ministry Tingbi sighed, looked at Tang Shaoyi thoughtfully, and then looked in front of the Capitol. It was still full of veterans and active-duty military members, rejoicing at the news they got over the loudspeakers, indeed. On the one hand, there is the issue of the right to vote for veterans, and on the other hand, there is the issue of fairness at the socio-economic level, both of which are precisely the issues that the people at the bottom of the society are most concerned about. Although these veterans may still be starving. But at least, Zhao Bei drew a cake for them, and looking at this cake, it is understandable that they are in a happy mood.

"This matter cannot be left alone, but must be fought against. So be it. I'll ask some people to come to my place tonight, and we'll have a drink. While discussing. Are you coming? ”

Zhou Xuexi's proposal was quite in line with the mind of the Ministry of Tingbi, but Tang Shaoyi did not intend to get involved in this matter.

"Martial law will not be lifted. It's better not to run around. Moreover, President Li may not be in the mood to care about state affairs tonight, so it seems that I will have to stay on duty all night again. Tang Shaoyi shook his head. Indicates no interest.

Ministry Tingbi hesitated for a moment. said: "If I get the pass, I will go, and by the way, I will also invite a few people to go over, I am afraid that Brother Zhou will not be able to sit there so many people." ”

Zhou Xuexi said with a smile: "It's a big deal to set up some tables in the garden, my Zhou Mansion is a huge place, are you afraid that you won't be able to accommodate these guests?" Why don't you invite Xu Shuren over, let's get together. ”

"Xu Juren? He won't even come to Congress, how can he go to you? He's now far away from politics. Besides, he will be 80 years old next year, and in his own words, how can he come all the way from Tianjin to Beijing because he is already a "rotten wood"? Not to mention that it is still at this time. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xuexi wanted to invite Xu Shichang over, Tang Shaoyi raised it.

"How old is Zhang Jizhi now?" Bu Tingbi asked suddenly.

"He is one year older than Xu Nanren, and he is eighty years old. was originally going to be a big birthday in the scenery, but who knew it would look like this. Zhou Xuexi sighed.

"The day after tomorrow. It is the seventieth birthday of Zhao Zhenhua's father-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Bu Tingbi suddenly remembered something.

"If you don't mention it, I almost forgot, Zhao Bei also gave me a post, should I go or not when the time comes?" Zhou Xuexi asked.

"Go, of course you have to go, he gives you a post, this is to value you. How can you not go? What's more, if you don't look at his face, do you also want to look at the face of his brother-in-law, who is also a chaebol now, and he is rich, but I don't know if he knows that his brother-in-law is also fighting his inheritance? Ministry Tingbi said with his hands crossed.

"Valuing me? I'm afraid you're just interested in my money, right? By the way, why don't you invite that brother-in-law over for a drink tonight? Let the brother-in-law go and talk to the little sister and blow the pillow wind to Senator Zhao? Zhou Xuexi smiled bitterly.

"Two, the more you talk, the more unkind you become.

I didn't hear anything. ”

Tang Shaoyi covered her ears, confessed to the two, and then walked briskly up the steps and turned into the Capitol. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the corridor, I saw a group of reporters talking about a group of reporters, and it was Zhao Bei who was surrounded by reporters, as well as several of his guards, and Qin Sihu, the captain of the guards, stood among the reporters, looking left and right, the tall and burly figure stood out from the crowd, which was particularly eye-catching.

"May I ask Senator Zhao, why did you suddenly propose this inheritance tax? Is it to curry favor with voters at the bottom of society? Are you planning to run in the next presidential election? ”

The reporter asked well, Tang Shaoyi immediately paid attention, so he hurriedly caught up a few steps and listened attentively. "I do have the intention of running for the next presidential term. As a member of this country, I insist that the more difficult times are, the more we need the dedication of the people. Four years ago, I was thinking about the future of my country. Taking the initiative to end the government ahead of schedule and withdrawing from the vision of the people, although he has been serving as some idle in the government, it is true that he has not put forward any constructive policies for a long time, but now, the country needs a leader who can unite all the people, although Zhao is not talented, but he has a lot of experience in uniting the people, so he decided to participate in the next presidential election. As for the question you are asking about the estate tax bill and currying favor with voters, this is a matter of opinion. If the wise man sees the wise, it is better to let the people and voters judge for themselves. ”

Zhao Bei made his plan clear in a few words, and the reporters suddenly seemed to have discovered a gold mine, so more questions were raised, which made Zhao Bei a little dizzy for a while.

"Does he really want to run for president in a dignified manner? It's not quite his character. ”

Tang Shaoyi was a little strange, but it was just strange, he didn't have the confidence to figure out the true plan of the "Far East Maniac". Because he knows very well that no one can really grasp the madman's mind, and even the people around him may not be able to guess what he wants to do, including Senator Yang Du who is standing behind the reporter.
