Zuo Zongtang on the side replied lightly: "Ming Shuai, now the Central Plains dragons have no leader, the provinces are muddy, and they don't know how to stop at all. ”

Li Hongzhang hurriedly replied: "Yes, Ming Shuai, although the European powers have retreated now, we have to be more cautious, no one knows when they will come back, we must put the whole of China into the normal development track as soon as possible!" ”

"Hmm,"

Guo Ye replied: "Ji Shuai, Quan Shuai, this is inevitable, but, ascending the throne, is not what I want, but at an extraordinary time, you need to use extraordinary methods, you don't know if you are familiar with foreign politics, in Prussia, in England are monarchies, but their monarchy, although it is hereditary, but the power of the monarch is greatly limited, the parliament of a country can veto the monarch's decision-making, the power of the monarch is greatly restricted, such a system, is the trend of future world development, Even the political system of the separation of powers like the United States is the trend of future world political development, and the monarchy must be abandoned by the world! ”

The two of them were shocked, and looked at Guo Ye a little inexplicably, listening to what Ming Shuai meant, he was trying to emulate the West and limit the imperial power! Do you really want to do this? Or are you testing the two of yourself?

"Ming Shuai!"

Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "I have always thought that the advanced of the West is only their artillery, and their ships are strong and artillery, and they are the foundation of dominating the world. I think that the middle school is the body, and the Western study is the use, the only way is the king, if we change our political system, I am afraid that in the government and the opposition, it will cause huge chaos, for the wise do not take it! ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "Ming Shuai, we don't know much about the political system of the West, and I have only heard the staff around me and some Westerners briefly mention it, but now is the time of chaos in the country, and it is obvious that if we take such a measure again, there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit......

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Yes, two, what you said is very reasonable, so although the political system of the United States is advanced now, it is not something we can adopt, because in China, from the generals to the people, there are only kings in their hearts, and they only agree with the imperial power, and if you want to implement the so-called separation of powers, it is impossible, we have no such foundation!" However, it is still feasible to adopt the political system of Prussia, France or England, the king is the head of a country with a certain amount of power, but the power must be limited to a certain extent, so as to avoid that once the king is a mediocre talent, at least in the parliament or cabinet can limit the king's wanton behavior, you all know that in the pre-Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Emperor did not go to court for many years, and the entire court government was paralyzed; The Emperor of the Apocalypse only likes carpenter work and does not care about political affairs, but the eunuchs are rampant, and the world is in chaos; As for the farther Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the Empress Liu, it was because of the lack of way and the direct destruction of the country, because there was no limit to the power in their hands, which was in the early days of the founding of the country, but it was okay, the country had a strong lord, and the monarchs and ministers were single-minded, but after a long time, the country prospered, the monarchs and ministers were slack, and the country was in danger of overturning......"

Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang looked at each other, although they thought that what Guo Ye said was incompatible with Chinese tradition, but they had to agree that what Guo Ye said was reasonable, the past dynasties, the reason why there was a rise and fall was because the monarch had no talent and no virtue, resulting in many contradictions in the country, and the people were not able to make a living. Don't the two of you have a grand strategy? No, everyone takes it out, they are enough to be a famous minister, but it is still difficult to save the fate of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if it weren't for Guo Ye's birth, I don't know what kind of shame the land of China will suffer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow Guo Ye is eloquent and strategic, and he can naturally lead everyone to prosperity, there is no doubt about it, but what about Guo Ye, who knows what about his son? Who knows what about his grandson?

If the iron law of the rise and fall of this dynasty wants to change, it seems that only Guo Ye's approach will work.

"Ji Shuai, Quan Shuai, this is also the ultimate reason why I want to overthrow the Manchu court no matter what, because, whether it is the Tongzhi Emperor or Prince Gong, or other kings, they will never accept such a request, but I am afraid that those who make such a request will also be taken off their heads, since they are unwilling to change, then only I will change them strongly, I said, I will remove all the obstacles that block the rise of China! It is imperative to implement a constitutional monarchy! ”

"But, Ming Shuai, now that the whole dynasty is up and down, there are a few people who understand such a political system as the West, not to mention other people, even if the two of us are confused, if we change it like this, it is tantamount to crossing the river blindly......"

Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly, yes, such an overall reform, although they are also willing, after all, the monarch's power is restricted, and the civil rights are demonstrated, of course, it is a good thing, but I don't understand, it is completely uninitiated, this is terrible!

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Ji Shuai, changing to a constitutional monarchy, it's just one thing, there are not many people we are familiar with, it doesn't matter, as long as you study it with an open mind, there is nothing difficult; On the other hand, that is to improve the people's livelihood, the so-called rich country and strong army, we are still far behind, this time you also see the gap with the European powers, people only have less than 100,000 troops, and half of our China is restless, we have defeated the opponent with great difficulty; Maybe my Lu army can compete with them, but there is an obvious gap between the Chu army and the Huai army and the foreigners, how much can the 60,000 Lu army support? If England and France really send 200,000 troops, we will definitely lose this time! Maybe you two are not very familiar with the Western form of government, but there is no problem with this governance, and you are even more sophisticated than me, you two can't be lazy......"

Li Hongzhang said excitedly: "Ming Shuai, this is just what we should do, don't dare to say anything else, do your best to serve the country, but I, Li Hongzhang, dare not fall behind!" ”

"Ming Shuai, according to you, what is our new imperial court like? What is the composition of the imperial court in the West? Not three provinces and six ministries? There is no military aircraft department? What the hell is going on with that cabinet? ”

Zuo Zongtang asked.

Guo Ye smiled: "Since this is the case, then I will give you a detailed explanation." ”
