Chapter 1011: Duplicity

Zhao Bei is also a smile convex...※

"Of course, family education should be strict, children are not yet mature, and the management is a little stricter, which is good for the future life path, society is complex, human nature is mixed, parents must always pay attention to cultivating children's correct outlook on life and world view."

"Little children? How old is Love? It looks like he's sixteen years old, and if he had stayed in the past, he would have almost reached the age of leaving the cabinet. Xiong Chengji said.

"I'm only fourteen years old this year, my nutrition can keep up, and I exercise regularly, so I look mature, but my mind is still fourteen years old, and I am still a child, so I can't get used to it, and it's really not enough to be pampered."

Zhao Bei and Xiong Chengji walked while talking, and they had returned to the East Chamber, and the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, was busy serving hot tea to the two. Then he stopped at the door, but the two guards who were on duty at the door were taken away by him.

Zhao Bei sat down on the Taishi chair. glanced at Xiong Chengji's very formal suit, smiled, and said, "You are dressed like this." It's not like they're here to drink, it's like they're here to negotiate with me. ”

Xiong Chengji also smiled and said: "I originally wanted to wear a republican suit, but the tailor shop has been closed for the past few days, and I really can't find a place to do it, so I have to wear this dress." Zhenhua's vision is quite powerful, this dress. I was supposed to wear it in diplomatic situations.

This digression somewhat narrowed the distance between the two, and Zhao Bei felt that the time was almost up, so the conversation changed. said: "A few days ago, I heard that you were going to come with Zhang Taiyan, so I told the people around me to wait for you to arrive." I'm not drunk with you. I think back then, I was your vanguard officer in the "Chengshen Revolution", you were my top boss, and although they did their own things, they were all revolutionaries, and they cooperated with each other to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. That year, you left your motherland and traveled to a foreign country, which was almost 20 years, although you have been back to China several times, but you have never come to me to sit, this time you finally came back, we have not seen each other for many years, this wine must be drunk well, I still have a lot to say to you. ”

Xiong Chengji sighed and said, "Yes, I have been in China for 20 years, and when I return to China this time, the changes are even greater, and I am almost unrecognizable." When I went to China that year, there was only one stone screen to see me off at the dock, and he told me at that time that he was old. Maybe I can't see the day when the constitution is realized, but as long as he is alive, he has to fight for the country, now, Shi Lao has passed away for many years, the country's constitutionalism has been realized, this time back to China, I always think about when to go to Hunan, to Shi Lao's tomb in front of the pillar incense, by the way, tell him that the country's constitutionalism has been completed, he can see the membrane. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Chengji paused and looked at Zhao Bei, but found that Zhao Bei couldn't see any expression on his face, obviously, this flank detour tactic had no effect, and Zhao Bei was unmoved.

"Akane, you don't have to talk around the bush, what do you want to say, in fact, I know very well in my heart that you are warning me not to destroy the constitutional situation. But the question is, when did I say I was going to undermine the constitutional situation? After all, you still don't believe me, and now many people are spreading rumors that once I return to the center, I will resume the system of scraping the government, which is simply unreasonable! Back then, I said that I would end the government five years ahead of schedule, so I would end the government five years ahead of schedule, without delaying even one day, and since I had already said back then, the government has officially ended, so how could I restore this political system in the future? That's right, I've officially announced that I'm running for the next presidential election, and it's for the sake of the country. It's not for my own sake, why do so many people think I have ulterior motives? What disappoints me even more is that even you think so, do you think that I am a great threat to the constitutional system? ”

Zhao Bei also sighed, after such a call, it also made Xiong Chengji a little moved, and he was almost fooled. However, he was moved, Xiong Chengji has been in the political circles for so many years, and he is no longer the simple grass idealist he was back then, he knows very well that "duplicity" is one of the necessary qualities of all politicians, including himself, all politicians must be discounted by a few points, and they must not get rid of lies and falsehoods from these words, only in this way will they not be deceived. This is the experience that Xiong Chengji has summed up over many years in politics, and it is applicable to any country and any system.

"Since Zhenhua is so happy, then I also have something to say. In my opinion, any country. It takes time for the country's political system to mature, especially the constitutional form of government, China's thousands of years of imperial politics, which cannot be completely eliminated so easily, which requires patience and careful care of all the people. Zhenhua, you are a qualified politician, no one can deny this, but at the same time, you are also a military and political strongman, your character is too strong, and a strong character will bring hope to the country in troubled times, but in the peaceful years, this strong character will often be shown to be strong and self-sufficient.

I also admit that you have governed this country for so many years, every step you have taken, and every policy you have formulated have basically been successful, and in fact have actually brought this country on the road to becoming a strong country, but at the same time, I have also seen that there is never anyone else in your eyes, and you always think that others are far inferior to you in governing the country. Who will be reassured of you? Besides, can you guarantee that your decisions will always be right? Pooling wisdom and working together is the way to govern the country.

If nothing else, let's talk about this veterans' march incident, what role did you play in this incident? Although there is no conclusive evidence that you are behind the plot, I still think so. You shouldn't use veterans' resentment to blackmail Congress and the presidential palace.

You are a strong man and never do things with other people's thoughts, perhaps you think, with your prestige. It's not a question of regaining control of the center, but have you thought about it, what will happen to the country if you lose the elections? For the sake of the country, you should do Washington, while

Xiong Chengji's words were not only quite rude, but also had a strong taste of provocation, and Zhao Bei even suspected that the other party was here to provoke, in order to provoke him.

Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Do you think I will lose the election?" You overestimate the energy of those bigwig legislators, they are just deep-pocketed, but in the face of awakened citizens, wealth does not necessarily bring votes. ”

"Awakened National? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? If we say that those veterans who incite the people to make trouble are awakened, it is inevitable that some people will refer to the deer as horses, this is not called awakening, this is called ignorance, they only see the immediate benefits, but not the long-term benefits, so they will be taken advantage of. ”

Xiong Chengji's words were not polite at all, but Zhao Bei was not angry.

"Weigen, if you can't take care of your immediate interests, what are your long-term interests? Politics has always been complicated, and the evolution of society is not subject to anyone's will, and now, the country has reached a critical moment, of course I have to stand up, as for the veterans, they may not have much culture, but at least they have dedicated their youth, blood and even their lives to this country, if they can't even protect their own immediate interests, who will believe that this country has any long-term interests in the future? .

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei's words changed.

"I heard that you have returned to China to fight for the National League, and that the National League intends to use your prestige to put their candidate on the presidency, which is also using you, and you are obviously aware of this, but you are willing to be used by others, why is that? Do you think that the plutocrats of the National League are better able to lead the country to real strength than I am? ”

"That's different! The National League is certainly a chaebol club, but as long as they respect the constitution and respect the constitution, then this is the blessing of the country. You admit that the power of the people is always from less to more, so why don't you trust the National League? To tell you the truth, the National League is also negotiating to expand the electorate, and I believe that it will not be long before they officially put forward their election platform, and you can see that the selection of voters will be further expanded, and even women will have the right to vote. I don't know what the platform is on the part of the United Front right now, but I can guarantee that when they learn about the program of the National League, they will react as well, and this is called competition, and there is competition to compromise, and compromise is an important feature of the constitutional system. Xiong Chengji said.

"The power of the people is not given by anyone, but earned by themselves, and do you think it would have been possible for the National League to discuss the expansion of the electorate without this war of veterans?" Zhao Bei asked rhetorically.

"That's why I say that compromise is important, and the premise of compromise is constitutionalism." Xiong Chengji nodded

"I didn't say I wasn't in favor of constitutionalism, and I respected Congress."

"Once you stuff a veteran congressman into Congress, Congress is no longer Congress. It's your royal tool. ”

Zhao Bei saw that the other party's prejudice against him was too deep, and if he continued to say this, he would only go farther and farther, and all the conversations were based on the fact that Zhao Bei would definitely re-establish the political system, which was simply underestimating Zhao Bei's political wisdom, and more importantly, this obviously deviated from Zhao Bei's original intention, so Zhao Bei decided to end this topic decisively.

"Mikan. Let's end the debate on this topic. There is no point in arguing, and you are unlikely to play a key role in this political game. After all, this is Chinese politics, not Lanfang's politics. I will definitely run in the next presidential election, and I will definitely be elected, you can rest assured of that.

I would like to ask you what you think today, because you suggested that the center should set up a constitutional experimental field in Nanyang, and you have been in politics in Lanfang for many years and have accumulated quite a wealth of political experience, so you should know. I also admit that Lanfang is actually a vassal state of China, and its defense and foreign affairs are under the guidance of China's central government. Now there is an opportunity in front of you, I plan to make a deal with you, and exchange Lan Fang's national defense autonomy and diplomatic autonomy for a promise of yours, just like the gentleman's agreement we made before you traveled abroad. ”

"What promise?"

Xiong Chengji was quite surprised, Lan Fang is actually a vassal state of China, this reality has always been a barrier in the hearts of Lan Fang's constitutionalists, and if he does not get rid of the constitutional situation of "guiding" Lan Fang for a day, he is dead, and he can't even make his own decisions about which country to establish diplomatic relations with, he can only look at China's face and act, which is obviously not in line with Lan Fang's interests, so when Zhao Bei suddenly proposed this deal, Xiong Chengji immediately lifted his spirits.

"You promised not to help the PN campaign, and you would not allow your subordinates to help the PN campaign. And you must leave China immediately and return to Lanfang, and when I become president, I will issue an order to withdraw those supervisors stationed in Lanfang, and in the future, you will have the final say in the internal, diplomatic, and military affairs of Xiao Lanfang. ”

It was only at this time that Xiong Chengji came back to his senses, it turned out that Zhao Bei came to talk to him, but he came to "buy" him, the purpose seems to be to prevent him from forming an alliance with the National League, after all, he is now the leader of the Lanfang Constitutional Party, and the Constitutional Party has also developed many members throughout China in the past four years, as if it has become an influential opposition party, and the reason why Xiong Chengji was able to be selected by the National League this time. A very important reason for inviting him as a running partner is the influence of the constitutional party in the country.

Xiong Chengji settled in Nanyang, and according to the law, he could not serve as a high-ranking government official in China, and in this sense, his political ideals could only be realized in Lanfang.

Zhao Bei's offer is not low, and Xiong Chengji also believes that he has the ability to do it, it must be admitted that Zhao Bei's choice of breakthrough point is very ingenious, Xiong Chengji hesitated for a while, but at the same time, he also has a little doubt about Zhao Bei's sincerity, this empty check is easy to write, but it may not be easy to cash, and Xiong Chengji also suspects that this so-called quid pro quo may hide some conspiracy, it is best to be cautious.
