The Family and the Country, Chapter 10

Yang Rui, who knew that he had seriously disturbed history, was in a state of extreme anxiety; on the one hand, history had undergone great changes, and his ability to 'predict' was getting weaker and weaker, but the more so, the more he thought that only he could find a better way out for China in the history of 'changes'; on the other hand, he would also think that since history had changed drastically, it would be the same for whoever was replaced, and he was not necessarily right.

This ideological contradiction lasted until the end of the month. One afternoon before the Standing Committee, when he left the Yin'an Palace, he did something he had never done before-standing at the door and looking back at the rosewood bookcase and throne in the main hall of the main hall, this angle of looking back suddenly made him have a state of mind that he could not give up. If he is no longer prime minister, what if someone else implements the 'wrong' policy? What should you do if you are not the prime minister?

Although I had conceived it a long time ago, I could build a fruit company that surpassed the likes of Dole and Sunkist; Or become a university professor and teach at Tongji University in Shanghai for the rest of his life; Or become a novelist, write about the original history, and write some 'hard science fiction' novels at the same time. These are all his previous imaginations, and in the end, he and Cheng Ying travel all over the world and the world.

What he thought before was completely different from what he thinks now, whenever he thinks that he is no longer the prime minister, he always has an inexplicable sense of loss and unease. This country seems to be his son, and if his son meets a good teacher, he can rest assured; If he encounters a bad teacher like Cai Yuanpei who can only teach people to practice democracy and strike classes, he will be worried all day long. At the same time, if this son has a promising future, he has achievements. He would be proud to be a father, but if custody was taken away by someone else. A father can't be a father, that's the pain in his heart. Messy thoughts flooded his mind. So that when he was talking in his sleep that night, Cheng Ying woke him up.

"What's wrong, nightmares again?" In the alternating weather of autumn and winter, the woman wears a plain pajama and holds a cup of warm tea. Her hair curled down gently, blackened by her fair skin, and a warm fragrance exuded from her body. This young woman in her thirties is like a bright red and ripe apple, sweet and crunchy.

"Hmm." After taking a sip of tea. Yang Rui replied in a low voice, put his hand into the woman's pajamas, and put it in the position where he felt most comfortable, while the woman was half-pillowed on his right chest like a cat, unspeakably coquettish.

"What if you go back to Shanghai in the future?" Yang Rui asked. He wasn't used to talking about the topic directly, so he had to take a detour.

"Go back to Shanghai...... the woman thought lowly, but after a while, she woke up and said in surprise: "Is the next session ......?"

"There's this idea." Yang Rui looked sideways at her, although a woman's political IQ has never been high. But apart from the women around him, there are not many people he can say such things.

The woman's eyes blinked several times, as if she had encountered a complicated math problem in an exam, and after a while she said, "If you don't do it in the next class." And what about after that? ”

"In the future, I won't do it next time, and I won't do it again in the future." Yang Rui's eyes looked at the ceiling. He believed that after he went into the wilderness. Those who oppose his fall into the wilderness will surely praise it in order to build a moral barrier to keep himself out of the Forbidden City forever - the Yin'an Hall is the private residence of his state. Once in the wilderness, the Prime Minister's Office will be moved to Nanhaizi or the Forbidden City.

"It's not going to happen, is it?" The woman asked again. There are many actors and storytellers in the capital. When she had nothing to do, she and the members of the Women's Revival Society were often at the teahouse. From a historical point of view, it is difficult for the founding heroes to have a good end except for the Song Dynasty. Yang Rui holds the power of the world at this time, but no one knows what will become of him in the future.

"What could happen? Nothing will happen. "Yang Rui understands his influence in the whole country, among the generals, and among the people. No matter who the successor is, no matter what faction, they dare not harm themselves, and the most likely thing they can do is to offer their own archway.

After more than 20 years, he already knows this society very well, this is a society that prides itself on morality, why can't the marshal in the early Republic of China go into the field if he can't get electricity? Why did Duan Qirui chant Buddha and eat fast in the second half of his life? That's why. Or from another point of view, from a commercial point of view, although the company law has been promulgated, there are very few people who actually register a limited liability company, and most of them have individual business licenses. They could not accept the concept of 'limited liability' limited to the registered capital in later generations, but believed that if they breached the contract, then the liability was absolutely 'unlimited', and even if they could not pay off their debts, future generations would continue to pay off.

This is a moral legacy accumulated by the dynasty for more than 200 years, which makes people unconsciously abide by the previous norms. Of course, in the revolutionary language of later generations, this is called pedantic or backward, and it is through this that Sun Wenchang Kaishen and others rose to power, not because they are strong, but because everyone else is bound by the 'old morality'. And when the Kuomintang triumphed because of its non-observance of morality, the old morality collapsed dramatically, and in the end, people who did not abide by principles more than they replaced them, and then, the unified dynasty re-developed a new morality, civilization reappeared, and everything seemed to be a cycle.

Except in Yanzhou, this moral legacy was not destroyed when the Fuxing Society came to power, which was also a major reason why it was easy to rule the entire country after the founding of the country. In fact, according to history, they did not exist at the beginning of the Republic of China, but only appeared after several years of continuous chaos in the country; As for the historical White Wolf Uprising, it was only a product of official coercion and popular rebellion, and in the dilapidated countryside of the Central Plains, it was not difficult for the rebels to find like-minded people. In such an era and under such morality, politicians only need to declare their resignation, then they will have absolute security, let alone take the initiative to go into the opposition to maintain constitutional government.

"You're not going to get used to it." The woman didn't know what the man was thinking, she looked forward to Yang Rui's life after going into the wild and returned to reality, her man only cares about his career and ignores his family, which she has known for a long time.

"There's a lot more that can be done, it's just a different world." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"But you don't want to." Cheng Ying wants a man to go into the wilderness, but she doesn't look forward to the future, she can easily feel the true mind of a man. His inquiry at this time seemed to be to find a reason not to go into the wilderness.

"Yes, there are some. I'm worried that they're playing the country bad and losing a rare opportunity. Yang Rui said. When he wanted to reach for a cigarette, the woman also reached out and grabbed him, and with such a move, the neckline of her pajamas revealed a dazzling white.

"Is there a chance like the Great War in Europe?" Cheng Ying felt his gaze, and she suddenly took his hand and inserted it through the neckline of her pajamas, letting him play with everything inside.

"Hmm." It is obvious that one heart cannot be used for two purposes, Yang Rui coped with it, and his other hand was also inserted into the pajamas, and the conversation ended.

A few days later, facing a few familiar faces in the study, Yang Rui first asked Cai Yuanpei: "Xiao Min, let's talk about your thoughts." It doesn't matter who is the prime minister, the key is not to delay the country. ”

"I don't have any particular ideas, and I don't want to sit in that position, and I can't do it. I just hope that you can make a rule for those who come after you, and if you serve for twenty or thirty years, then it is very likely that those who will sit for another twenty or thirty years. We all believe in you, you have a clear conscience, no selfishness, and you are indeed for the good of this country, but it is difficult to predict what will happen to people in the future. ”

Cai Yuanpei's sweet words really startled Yang Rui, and he suspected that he had eaten too much sugar in the United States. In Yang Rui's doubts, Cai Yuanpei continued: "This dynasty ......, not only this dynasty, any other dynasty has a tradition of respecting heaven and ancestors, and the so-called ancestral system established when the country was founded must not be surpassed by future generations. If the predecessors set bad rules, then the future generations will inherit these bad rules. Although our country is not the United States, whether it is the president or the prime minister, they are all campaigned......"

"If you don't become the prime minister, who can do it?" Xu Huafeng interjected that he cared about the earth-shattering projects of the industry and laboratories under construction, and anyone who dared to destroy them would have to fight with them.

"Mr. Hua Feng can be the next prime minister." Cai Yuanpei said. "Mr. is the oldest, and no one is dissatisfied with being the prime minister."

"I can't do it!" Without the slightest consideration, Xu Huafeng rejected Cai Yuanpei with a smile, and he said again, "Governing the country is not only about governing the country well, but also about straightening out the position of this country in the whole world. I can't do what I did, and I could find exactly the opportunity to put the country on the right side of the great powers. You see, the British used to be unwelcome to us, but now they are more and more dependent on us.

We can get to this point, everyone thinks it is a matter of course, but when you look back, you will be shocked, to get to this point is not a coincidence, but in advance there is a full plan, this point can be asked Chong'an. ”

The topic turned to Xie Jintai's side, and he said very seriously, "I didn't like to interfere in diplomacy before, but in the end, I often find out that he is right and I am wrong." He said that there would be a big war in Europe, and a big war would break out in Europe, and he said that the United States would definitely enter the war, and the United States would enter the war......

For a country like ours, the direction is the most important and the opportunity is more precious, and if we miss that gap, the revolution will not succeed; If Europe had been as sluggish as Japan had been before the war, its treasury would not have been as abundant as it is today. These are all things that determine the direction. What the people said is reasonable, but the question is whether he becomes prime minister or not, who can grasp the direction and precious opportunity of the country? (To be continued......)
