Cha Yuanhong refused to help. Zhou Xuexi was not surprised. As an officialdom 2 Chuan, he knows very well what kind of person Li Yuanhong is, in his opinion, although Li Yuanhong occupies a high position in the government. But in terms of his talent, this person is just a mediocre person who goes with the flow, if it weren't for Zhao Bei to bring him, his Li family is nothing now, as for what "business wizard." "It's even more of a joke, without the identity of the president of the Senate, he probably wouldn't even be able to run a grocery store.

However, as a postman and lobbyist sent by Zhang Xiao. Zhou Xuexi still played his role very well, and after Li Yuanhong rejected Vice President Zhang's commission, Zhou Xuexi smiled faintly and said a few reasons.

"What Speaker Lai said is right, the independence of the judiciary. This is a requirement of the constitutional system. However, since ancient times, China's law has paid attention to a "heavenly principle, national law, and human feelings", and only now that China's network has established a constitutional state system, and foreign laws cannot be rashly copied, so, in Zhou's view, this. "Favors. It should still be talked about, special circumstances. Special Handling. Before I came, the Vice President said. The case of his fellow villager has not yet been referred to the court. If it is handled in the locality, it can be dealt with at its discretion, and it will not be put in prison, and besides, since the person is willing to accept the punishment and hand over half of the property. This can already serve as a deterrent to the small, so why drive people to a dead end? In addition, when the man divided the land, he certainly had the intention of escaping the land. But it may not be without the kindness of the Zhouji people. The local land rent has dropped by almost 20%. ”

"Brother Zhou, what you said seems to make sense. But it is a fallacy. Our laws are far behind. Naturally, we should catch up, "Heavenly principles, national law, and human feelings." This statement itself is problematic, what is the principle of heaven? What is a human favor? It is all the rule of man, not the rule of law, and now that we are propagating the rule of law, it is naturally not good to break our word and get fat. Besides, the president has been emphasizing this "law is everything" and "the law is impersonal" Brother Zhou, you often run to the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, I understand this truth. ”

Li Yuanhong seriously refuted Zhou Xuexi's crooked reasoning, but to be honest, he was interested in this. "The law is impersonal" is also not very cold. But since the president said so, he just shouted, if the president's wife broke the law, or the president's brother-in-law broke the law, Li Yuanhong didn't believe that the president would really sit idly by. Chinese, who have been like this for thousands of years, will not change the operating laws of this society because of a few slogans.

Of course Zhou Xuexi would not really be so concerned with Li Yuanhong, since the other party was resolute, he ended his role in a timely manner, and then. He moved on to another topic, and this topic was what Zhang Xiao really meant when he sent him over.

"Speaker Lai, since you can't do anything. Then, this matter can only be done. However, there is another thing that I don't know whether to ask or not.

Presidential and congressional elections will be held in the autumn of this year, and several independent candidates have already submitted applications for the election, which are being reviewed by Congress. According to the constitution, this review period ends before the beginning of the fall, but why hasn't the president applied to run yet? The United Front also does not appear to have put forward a presidential candidate. ”

Li Yuanhong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhou, you are asking me." Tell the truth. About the matter. I also asked the president, but the president just said, "Wait and see," since the president doesn't bother with it. Why should we go beyond the bounds?

Zhou Xuexi was surprised: "The president doesn't worry about it himself? Where does this begin? Isn't the president going to be re-elected? Now that the president's prestige is unmatched, if he announces his candidacy for the next president, the chances of re-election are very high. Now our country has established a republican system, unlike in the past, the emperor has been doing it for decades, and now the presidential term is five years, the continuity of this central policy is very important, and now our country's industry and commerce are developing rapidly, which is closely related to the president's diligence and talent, at this time, if another person is the president, who can guarantee that the country can maintain stability? ”

Li Yuanhong was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to answer like this. Zhou Xuexi is Zhang Xiao's close friend. is also an important member of the National League, this person has always had serious differences with the United Front, and President Zhao Da is even more disobedient, such a person, stuffed into the Ministry of Industry and Commerce as the deputy director, is completely out of the need for balance, but also to unite the group of monarchical faction bigwigs, which Zhou Xuexi knows very well. So he doesn't have any gratitude for the United Front, but now, listening to what he means, it's strange that he wants the president to be re-elected.

"Brother Zhou, listen to what you mean, if the president announces his participation in the next presidential election, will you support it?

Out of prudence, Li Yuanhong asked. Looking at what the other side is up to, he has been fighting openly and secretly with the National League in the Diet for almost five years, and he knows very well who the other side is. As a somewhat self-aware politician, he understands that if it weren't for the president supporting him and Tang Hualong, the two "presidential lackeys" would have gotten out a long time ago, where could they hold on until now? Now Li Yuanhong is confidently planning to participate in the next congressional election, and he doesn't want to step into any trap at this time. And considering that the backer can't be reached, if the other party really plans to set one. If Mr. President and the United Front are invited into the urn, it is necessary for him to test the firepower of the other side first.

In the past, I did look down on the president, thinking that he was too young, inexperienced, and his foreign policy was too reckless, but now, I admire him so much, if Zhao Zhenhua announces his participation in this presidential election, I will definitely vote for him

Zhou Xuexi made his position very sincere. But at the same time, he was careful with his wording. In fact, Zhao Bei's delay in submitting the presidential election application form to the National Assembly completely disrupted the original response plan formulated by the National League, according to the plan of the National League, if Zhao Bei announced that he would run for the presidency, they would take the initiative to withdraw from the presidential race, and put their main firepower on the election of members of the National Assembly, because they knew that no matter how hard they tried, they were far inferior to Zhao Bei in terms of prestige, although due to the "National Land Investigation Case" some propertied people have opinions on the president. But this cannot change the most basic balance of forces, rather than compete for the position of president, it is better to occupy the Congress, so that in the competition for members of Congress, it is not necessarily worse than the United Front, and because the United Front has been rectifying the interior since the year before, there has been a clear division of forces among the members of Congress, and several small parties are now brewing the formation of a big party. It is not necessary to have a majority of seats in the National Assembly, but if it occupies the National Assembly, even if it cannot confront the president head-on, it will at least change the current weak situation.

But now, Zhao Bei has been delaying the submission of his presidential application form to the National Assembly, which has left members of the National League somewhat undecided. If Zhao Bei does not want to run for president, it seems that the National League can put forward a candidate of its own, and if he is successfully elected, then the National League can not only occupy the National Assembly, but also the presidential palace, so that the world is the world of the National League.

Zhang Sai, Zhou Xuexi, and others unanimously believed that the reason why Zhao Bei did not make his position clear for a long time probably had nothing to do with "humility." If you take a wrong step, you will regret it later. This is a lesson from the past, at the beginning, Xu Shichang replaced Yuan Shikai as the president of the Republic of China, at the beginning Zhao Bei also supported, but the later events were completely beyond everyone's expectations, through a well-planned parliamentary impeachment case, Zhao Bei easily ousted Xu Shichang from power, and then, the revolutionary pioneer unceremoniously appeared as the president, and grasped the supreme power granted by the Constitution.

Although there is no direct evidence pointing to the president himself, Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong have no involvement, and these two people have always been regarded as "presidential lackeys." "That's it. President Xu Shichang and President Xu Da were plotted by President Zhao Da back then.

Fighting with such a person, Zhang Xiao and Zhou Xuexi must be cautious step by step, they can't afford any conspiracy, they are all literati, they can play with the president at most, they can't afford to play conspiracy, and they don't have the capital to play.

As a result, the National League did not dare to easily nominate their presidential candidates, although there are now a few "independent candidates" who do not know what to do, but in the eyes of the majority of the people, those few are just green leaves that accompany the saffron, and if they really want to compete for the presidential throne, those few are obviously not qualified.

However, seeing that the deadline for Congress to review the list of presidential candidates is getting closer and closer, the National League is very anxious, and Zhou Xuexi has the intention to immediately elect the candidate of his party, but Zhang Xiao does not do it, because he feels that there is something strange here.

What's the oddity? It's not that Vice President Zhang is timid? Now it is not as good as in the past, four years ago, Zhang Xiao's family industry is not big, but it is just a few imitation weaving mills and flour mills, but now? After these four industrial exhibitions, the scale of the industry owned by the Zhang family is enough to make people marvel, not to mention the movable property, those real estate alone can be proud of the whole country, imitation weaving mills, flour mills, iron and steel mills, oil mills, coal mines, farms, steamship transportation companies, the scale of these enterprises may not be as large as foreign enterprises, but in China is already a large enterprise, so the net worth can not be taken to the concession at will, Vice President Zhang will of course be timid.

So, in Zhou Xuexi's opinion. Zhang Sai is now becoming more and more "compromising". As long as Zhao Bei does not move his interests, then he will not take the initiative to provoke Zhao Bei, since last year, the National League has been very "steady" in the Congress. This is not unrelated to Vice President Zhang's compromise mentality, after all, everyone lives in reality, and for the rich, this reality is to prevent the entire family from being wiped out due to personal irresponsible behavior.

However, Zhou Xuexi is not good at denigrating Zhang Xi's compromise, because he now has the same mentality, although there are regulations that limit the scope of government officials' business, but his family business is now growing rapidly. Many factories and mines bear the Zhou's label. It's not so easy to tear it off happily. If you tear your face with Zhao Bei, these real estate can not be brought to the concession and foreign countries, you can only cheapen Zhao Bei, in this regard, President Zhao Da is very experienced, back then, the "Beiyang God of Wealth" Sheng Xuanhuai collapsed like this, the Sheng family that had flourished for decades also declined, collapsed, and many members of the family had to go away, but everyone could not find a reason to accuse President Zhao Da, after all, people's reasons are very sufficient, and above board.

Now in the National League. There are still many members with a mentality like Zhang Wu and Zhou Xuexi, and they are all big guys without exception. With a thick net worth and a precious life, it is impossible to abandon everything and go to Liangshan like that gang of people, "singles eat by working hard" Unfortunately, they are not singles, so they have to take a defensive position against the strong president.

This mindset is also decided. These people are powerless in the face of the president's conspiracy and conspiracy, and if they don't have allies, they are simply fish on the president's chopping block.

Zhou Xuexi's words really surprised Li Yuanhong, and when he heard that Zhou Xuexi was about to vote for the president, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother Zhou, you really know the times. That's right, if the president runs for the next president, he will definitely be re-elected. However, it seems to me that the reason why the president has not taken a position for a long time may have something to do with the situation in the south. ”

"The situation in the south? Speaker Lai is referring to the "presidency for life" that Yang Zhezi's gang is advocating. ”

Zhou Xuexi asked expressionlessly, but his heart was full of joy, and now even Li Yuanhong paid attention to the jumping up and down of Yang Du's gang. This seems to indicate that a public opinion is being formed, if all this is out of the Tse Ge of President Zhao Da! Then, his scheming is inevitably too deep, and his steps seem to be too fast.

This may be the legendary "Sima Zhao's Heart".

However, is this really out of Zhao Bei's personal planning? Isn't he from a revolutionary party? When the time comes, if he really does something "president for life", how will he explain it to the people, especially those comrades who came from the revolutionary party?

Politics, indeed, is too complicated. It's really not something that literati can afford, Zhou Xuexi even has some idea of quitting this political game, or Xu Shichang can see it, he walked away and completely drew a line with politics. It's really the choice of smart people. , If you want to know what happened next, please log on to the 6 muscle horn, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading
