Being Wei Ze's secretary is not an easy job, Wei Ze's work is busy, even if the party, government and military have their own set of teams, Wei Ze can still have absolute guidance over national politics. Wei Ze is equipped with six secretaries, and the most special one is Zuo Zongtang. The other five secretaries were all decided by the Ministry of Personnel, and only Zuo Zongtang was the candidate decided by Wei Ze using his personnel privileges.

Zuo Zongtang had read the constitution drafted by Wei Ze himself, and the first article of the constitution stipulated that the Republic of China was a socialist state under the leadership of the Liberation Party and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. Similarly, at this time, the Central Committee of the Restoration Party, which was acting as a great authority, passed a resolution that the Republic of China would cede a series of powers to Emperor Wei Ze himself. As long as Weeser wanted to, he could completely ignore all the decisions of the party, government, military, and judiciary and make his own decisions.

When there was a conflict between the two decisions, Wei Ze only needed to sign an "emperor's decree", and the decision of any department must be final on Wei Ze's personal decision. However, Wei Ze has always been based on organizational principles, and only in the appointment of Zuo Zongtang as his secretary did Wei Ze use his decision-making power in the party to make personnel decisions. The longer he followed Wei Ze, the more Zuo Zongtang felt how rare it was for Wei Ze to make such a decision.

During this time, Weser spent a lot of time writing every day, and sometimes Weese could sit there and write for a day and a night. On the evening of October 2, Zuo Zongtang was on duty, and when he arrived outside Wei Ze's study, he took it easy, which is everyone's habit. Influencing Weeser's work is inappropriate from any point of view.

"Old Zuo, come in. I'll show you something. Wei Ze's happy voice came from the study. Wei Ze is strong in martial arts, which everyone knows. Although the secretary had never seen Wei Ze leading the army into battle, everyone had heard those high-ranking officials talk about the story they had seen Wei Ze standing at the head of the battle and leading the troops to break through the enemy's battle. Everyone has also seen Wei Ze's no fat, beautiful muscles when he exercises, and when he practices a spear, even people who have not practiced martial arts can see that it is an extremely good marksmanship.

Every time he saw these, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but touch his "abdominal muscles" that were integrated from chest to abdomen and bulged high. Wei Ze, who is proficient in martial arts, has excellent ear power, even if everyone slows down their steps, Wei Ze can tell who is outside from the subtle sound.

Walking into the study, Zuo Zongtang took a stack of manuscripts handed to him by Wei Ze, and the name of the manuscript was written at the beginning, "The Basic Concept of the Restoration Party".

Reading down, the first is the cognition of society, "The development of productive forces is the fundamental driving force for social progress." ”

Based on the analysis of the stages of social development proposed by Weeser, Weeser summarized the role of productive forces in the process of social development. At that time, the merchant sent the queen's wife to the west, and killed thousands of captives in one go. The Zhou people were so frightened that the name of the woman was mentioned, and the child did not dare to cry at night. In the era of the Emperor of Zhou, the Zhou people accused the King of Shang of "sheltering fugitive slaves". When the main force of the merchants went on an expedition to the Xuzhou area, the Shang Dynasty was able to organize slaves to form an army to fight against the alliance of princes. This is undoubtedly a proof of the changes in the productive forces of society.

The development of the productive forces of the Shang Dynasty did not evolve into a stronger social system, and of course, it may also be that the king of Xuan tried to change the social system, which led the Shang traitors to betray the Shang Dynasty and defect to the Zhou State.

The subsequent development of China can undoubtedly be explained by the development of productive forces, and Zuo Zongtang read and read it. This Jinliang read while corroborating what he had read with what Wei Ze wrote, and he disagreed with some parts, but more parts made Zuo Zongtang feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

When he rubbed his sour eyes and put down the manuscript, he found that it was already dawn. Wei Ze was still writing at his desk, and the huge desk was already full of manuscripts full of words.

Hearing Zuo Zongtang's movement, Wei Ze stopped writing, he leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, and asked at the same time, "How do you feel when you see it?" ”

"Your Majesty, I kind of understand what Premier Bi said during the day. He praised His Majesty for developing rubber, spices, and palm oil. Now that I think it's all a big boost to productivity. Majesty Xià led the development of these things, and it turned out to be really a good place. Zuo Zongtang replied, after finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and engaged in a period of ideological struggle, Zuo Zongtang finally said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, I thought that the comrades of the Political Bureau were all sycophants. Now that I think about it, it's my own shallow knowledge. It's ridiculous that I dared to look down on these comrades before, but I was too far behind these comrades' knowledge. ”

Wei Ze closed his eyes and smiled: "They have followed me for more than ten years, and they learn this every day." It's not unusual for them to get to the point. But Lao Zuo, you can see these things on your own, and it is even more difficult. ”

"That is also the teachings of His Majesty, if His Majesty ignores me, it is impossible for me to see how big the gap is between me and the comrades of the Political Bureau." Zuo Zongtang replied ashamedly. After saying this, Zuo Zongtang was excited, and he couldn't help but ask: "It's just that I have a doubt, is Your Majesty never worried that someone is trying to take the country from Your Majesty?" ”

"There are many people who want to seize the country, how to think and do it is their business, I have what I want to do, but I don't have the spirit to snatch other people's things and impose them on myself." Wei Ze replied calmly with his eyes still closed.

If it weren't for his considerable understanding of Wei Ze, Zuo Zongtang couldn't believe that this was an emperor's answer to the usurpation of the throne of a certain dynasty. Wei Ze was not at all shaken by the fact that others wanted to seize the power of the emperor, and this magnanimity was so great that Zuo Zongtang didn't know what to say. Is it that Wei Ze doesn't care about the position of emperor at all? Or is it Cheng Dù who Wei Ze is so big-hearted that even a rebel can accept it?

Zuo Zongtang is becoming more and more interested in the inner world of this monarch, and it is very dangerous to test the true thoughts of the monarch's inner world. Because of this, when he saw that he had the opportunity to snoop, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but have an extremely strong curiosity. This curiosity even triumphed over the fear of death.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of losing the throne?" Zuo Zongtang said as he pondered the words.

Just as Zuo Zongtang thought, Wei Ze first laughed mockingly, and then said slowly: "When I think of someone trying to take away the authority in my hands now, I naturally won't be happy in my heart. I can also be annoyed and upset. I'm not going to give up the power I have now, it's not because I'm afraid, because even if I can stand up to the whole world and keep my best until the last breath of my life, then I will lose power because of death. Many people think that death is God's business, and they can't be the master themselves, but Lao Zuo, do you think I will be a person who obediently submits to God? ”

Zuo Zongtang just smiled but didn't answer. Even if the emperors call themselves "sons of heaven", these sons of heaven will not give in lightly to the so-called God. Alchemy, monasticism, and belief in Buddhism proved in a sense that the emperors not only did not want to submit to God, but they even wanted to take God's authority away from them. In this regard, Zuo Zongtang did not think that Wei Ze was any different from those heavenly sons.

"Lao Zuo, you can definitely see that I have not relied on benevolence to get to where I am today, and I am not even sure to win every battle. I have done a lot of human trafficking, murder with a knife, intrigues and tricks, and even a lot of things that lack morality. Actually, I don't want to do these things, it's not that I can't do them, it's that I really don't like to do them. Wei Ze said calmly with his eyes closed.

Zuo Zongtang was silent, Wei Ze was by no means a person who was incorruptible and had no sense of justice, he saw Wei Ze finally do it without hesitation, and he also saw the psychological struggle between Wei Ze giving those orders.

Weeser continued: "I am in this position today because I represent the interests of a lot of people. They don't necessarily like me, and they don't necessarily have any loyalty to me personally. They just know very well that apart from this interest group that I represent, they have nothing. Even for their own sake, they will move forward with me. ”

Zuo Zongtang is still silent, not long ago Wei Ze's old father-in-law Qi Yuchang hated Wei Ze's refusal to establish a prince, but this does not mean that Qi Yuchang will stand by and watch when someone wants to overthrow Wei Ze. Only if Wei Ze is the emperor, and Wei Ze's legal system still exists, Qi Yuchang's grandson will have a chance to inherit Wei Ze's throne. Wei Ze undoubtedly represented Qi Yuchang's interests. Even if it was 10,000 steps back, Qi Yuchang's grandson was not able to ascend to the supreme throne, as long as the new dynasty was still there, the Qi Yuchang family had stepped through the door of power that had been closed to them before.

"Of course, this is not something that I can do alone, those wise emperors in history have done this." Weeser said.

Zuo Zongtang agrees with Wei Ze's words, this is indeed the foundation of imperial power. However, there was disdain in Wei Ze's tone, and Zuo Zongtang could clearly feel it. Then Wei Ze is estimated to talk about the most important part next, that is, the part where Wei Ze thinks he can surpass the emperors of the past.

"Those emperors worked hard to maintain their own family's world, but they failed one by one. In a few decades, hundreds of years, no one can immortalize their deeds for thousands of years. Weser said mockingly.

"So what are you going to do?" Zuo Zongtang asked.

"Those emperors had the power to start a dynasty, but they didn't continue to push society forward. So they stopped at the dynasties they founded, not only around the result themselves, but also around the dynasties that were destined to fall. I think I am better than those emperors because I not only represent the interests of many people, but I am also at the forefront of social development. And I was able to point out the direction of future development. Wei Ze opened his eyes, he didn't look at Zuo Zongtang, but looked at the manuscripts on the table with a solemn expression. The gaze was so heavy, as if it was carrying thousands of weights. But the expression was so determined, there was no fear or uneasiness that naturally came from the great pressure.

"Lao Zuo, I didn't make my subordinates kings and marquis like those emperors, and I don't care that everyone is trying their best to compete for merit now. A lot of people must be upset with me. I think everyone has a vision, as long as I still hold the authority, as long as I still do what I want, the new China is destined not to return to the old era. Many of the things they think are destined not to come true. After Wei Ze finished speaking, he patted the manuscript.

"Then isn't your majesty afraid that it won't represent the interests of many people at that time?" Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but ask.

Even in the face of such a sharp question, Wei Ze's answer remained calm, "I once said that the Manchu system forced people to tell nonsense. In fact, this is not objective enough for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because once it involves social development, the vast majority of dynasties are talking nonsense with their eyes open. I am writing these things so that comrades can see clearly the context of the development of the times, and let comrades clearly see that if a country does not want to perish, it must let society move forward. At that time, there must have been some people who wanted to make the times stand still, so that the benefits they had gained would remain eternal for thousands of years. But there will definitely be more people who want to get more benefits from the development of society, so they take the initiative or are forced to follow me. As long as the majority follow me, then I don't have to worry about anyone trying to overthrow me and take away my authority. ”

Zuo Zongtang still couldn't understand what Wei Ze said about the specific content of the progress of the times, but he could feel the power in Wei Ze's heart, so Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but ask: "If those advances have reached the point where there is no way to advance, then how to deal with them?" ”

"Is there no way in?" Wei Ze finally smiled, "If it really comes to that point, it's not bad." At most, I will let the imperial power continue to exist like this. The Wei family has been in the world for thousands of generations, so what do I have to be afraid of? ”

Hearing Wei Ze say this, Zuo Zongtang felt speechless. This is not self-deprecation, and it is not helplessness. This is just a pre-filing of Wei Ze's situation in that situation, at least that's how Zuo Zongtang feels.

"The progress of this era is just the beginning, please keep this in mind. You may already think that the change is so magnificent, but this is only the beginning of the prelude, and it is far from the end! Weeser said in a firm tone.

"Does that mean I still have a chance to make a difference?" Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but express his thoughts with a joke that was not a joke at all.

Weeser picked up the pen and wrote on the paper in a very beautiful line of writing. After writing, he handed the paper to Zuo Zongtang, and then got up and went out.

Zuo Zongtang read carefully, his eyes becoming sharper and sharper. That's a poem, and the word card is Qinyuan Chun. The name of the word is snow.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. R1058
