(Guess which TV series is the title of this chapter?) ）

"Huizi, which of the constitutional states in the world do you think is the richest and most powerful?" As soon as Ye Kai came up, he threw out a sharp question.

Yang Du lowered his head and thought about it, and analyzed them one by one: "Britain has dominated the world for 200 years, and now it is like the end of a strong crossbow, and the decline has been revealed. France was the first country to pioneer the Revolution, but its internal affairs are troubled and turbulent to this day. Although Russia is the largest country in the world, and its constitution has just been established, it is on a par with China's Qing Dynasty, and it is not enough to say that it is the richest and most powerful country, and it should be the United States on the other side of the East. ”

Yang Du came to such a conclusion, which is basically similar to Ye Kai's cognition, at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States was already the first in the world in terms of economy, and far ahead of the whole of Europe, but it was trapped by the Monroe Doctrine, and the minions of expansion could not reach out to the whole world.

"So the United States is the most worthy of our country's emulation?" Ye Kai asked.

"No, although the United States is strong, it is not suitable for China, the United States is a migration country, more than 100 years after the founding of the country, there is no monarch to rule, the implementation of a republican system, and our Chinese emperor has ruled for 2,000 years, loyalty to the monarch has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, the United States can never learn that way." As a hardcore constitutional monarchist, Yang Du still insisted on his ideas, and insisted until his death that only the constitutional emperor could save China, which led to his absurd farce of instigating Yuan Shikai to become emperor.

"Huizi is going toe-to-toe with Sun Wen overseas." Ye Kai smiled dumbly, "Then which country should I emulate when I establish the constitution of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Naturally, we should emulate the countries of constitutional monarchy, European countries also had monarchs and emperors in the past, and the national strength was not as good as my Qing Dynasty, but once the constitution was established, the monarch decided to a referendum, and changed one person to ten thousand people, since then the great powers have risen together, dominating the world, before Britain and France, and after the eight countries in Italy, Belgium, Japan and other small countries, it can be seen that constitutionalism can become a salvation and help the world, which is exactly in line with the national conditions of our Qing Dynasty, and it is most appropriate to learn from Europe and Japan."

Yang Du replied that he was a hardcore believer in constitutional monarchy, and this belief had not changed all his life, and the Chinese people liked to learn from history the most, and almost all of the great powers at that time were monarchies, so constitutional monarchy was very marketable at that time, and the republican theory advocated by Sun Yat-sen was neglected.

Ye Kai nodded, didn't interject too much, and continued to ask: "But this official still has a question, there are no more than two kinds of constitutionalism in the world now, one is a republic without a father and a mother, and there is no monarch in it, such as the United States you just said, and the other is a monarchy with a father and a mother, such as Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Yunyun, but this constitutional monarchy is divided into two kinds, one is that the monarch is in charge, such as the emperor of Japan, the German emperor of Germany, although the law is formulated by the parliament, but the monarch must decide, and this cabinet is also appointed by the monarch, this is 'dad'." The other is that the monarch has no real power, such as the Queen of England, everything is discussed by the Parliament, the monarch cannot intervene, and there is no power in his hands, this is "Mom". You say, "When I established the constitution of the Qing Dynasty, do I want to learn from Japan's 'father' or from the British 'mother'?" ”

Ye Kai's analogy is very appropriate, Yang Du is also very strange to hear, his words are equivalent to asking again in disguise, Jun Xian, Jun Xian, is it a constitutional monarchy, or a constitutional monarch? These are two very different systems, belonging to the twin flowers on a vine.

Yang Du thought for a while and replied: "In the next inspection of the constitutionalism of Western countries, China's national conditions are roughly the same, only two countries, non-Germany is the same day, Lianggong you see Germany as the most powerful country in Europe, Japan is the most powerful country in Asia, these two countries are rising stars, Germany reunification is only 30 years, Japan Restoration is also 30 years, and just 30 years can become weak into strong, it can be seen that the constitutional monarch is the foundation of a strong country, and now I lack time in the constitution of the Qing Dynasty, so only effectively imitate Germany and Japan, in order to avoid becoming a country of fish and meat." ”

"The idea is exactly the same as mine."

Ye Kai heard what he wanted to hear the most.

There is only one British constitutional monarchy, and at that time, the constitutional monarchy included Germany, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and a large number of other countries, and Britain and France have been pressed by Germany to get up, Germany dominates the European continent, Kaiser Wilhelm even proudly declared that Germany should rule the world, and the land under the sun should be re-divided, and just thirty years ago, the so-called Germany was still composed of more than 300 city-states in a loose confederation, and there was no even the title of Germany at all.

In other words, for a weak country, a constitutional monarchy is a chronic medicine, while a constitutional monarch is a quick-acting remedy.

Yang Du's high-minded talk is indeed very tempting, at least it can cause a lot of resonance to any ordinary person, and what the weak country mentality of the Chinese people needs is this kind of political strengthening.

"Why did Germany and Japan rise rapidly in just a few decades, while Britain has been rooted for hundreds of years but has been declining for hundreds of years?"

Ye Kai once again threw out a difficult question, but this time the latter "hissed" and couldn't organize the language for a while.

"This"

"According to this official's point of view, it is just two words, unity."

Ye Kai didn't wait any longer, and gave his own explanation with a smile.

Prussia unified Germany, Japan's "respect for the king", that is, unification, so although Germany and Japan were constitutional, it was the reality of unification and centralization, and Britain was also constitutional, but it was the practice of decentralization and decentralization, why there is this difference, all because of the different national conditions, the British colonies are widely spread around the world, and they must brainstorm and divide the power under in order to carry out effective rule, while Germany and Japan are small and the people are outnumbered, and only by centralizing power can they complete their work in one battle, enrich and strengthen the country, and this is to concentrate on doing great things. ”

Ye Kai's point of view is to put it bluntly, that is, the monarchy of Germany and Japan is to centralize power in the form of law, and the monarchy of Britain is to divide power in the form of law.

Any system is the most effective method only if it matches the national conditions, Ye Kai knows this very well, or any politician knows this, the only thing that is not clear is the broad masses of people who stand and speak without backache, in today's world, how many regimes have died in "democracy", and they have been completely destroyed by the set of democratic poison peddled by the United States.

"Although China is not a country in name today, it is in fact divided, the northeast is divided by Japan and Russia, Mongolia and Xinjiang are encroached upon by the Russians, Tibet is spied on by the British, Yunguang is trapped in legal persons, Shandong is occupied by Germany, Qinghai is constantly in conflict with the Hui Han, and the southeastern provinces are separated from Germany, like independent kingdoms, there is turmoil inside, and there are revolutionary parties fanning the flames outside.

The most practical way to drag China out of the historical quagmire is to use the spiritual seal of the emperor to slowly concentrate power on the central court, and then the government will lead a series of reforms. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Huizi, I don't know if you agree with the official's explanation?"

"What Lianggong said is quite fresh, but I have benefited a lot from listening to it."

Whether it is depth or breadth, Ye Kai's set is more practical, which is also what Yang Du and these idealists don't think much, of course, these theories can only be unearthed little by little when they stand in later generations, Ye Kai is just picking up ready-made peaches.

Of course, the power cannot be taken by the revolutionary party, and the reasons are naturally the same as those mentioned above, and the consequences of doing so Ye Kai have seen and the facts are there, which is also what Yang Du is destined not to see.

"Lianggong said that these will not be in vain to discuss the constitution, right?" Yang Du reacted, looked at Ye Kai, and seemed to have something in his words, "If you have anything to say, let's just say it." ”

"The Lady really understands my heart."

Ye Kai laughed, and did not pretend to hide it, and confessed: "Don't hide it, the reason why this official is the prime minister of the Constitutional Editing and Revision Museum is to preside over the legal work. ”

As he spoke, Ye Kai took out a sheet of tissue paper from his sleeve and spread it on the table in front of the two.

"This is the first law that this official wants to enact."

Yang Du looked down, and the few small words on it made him unable to take his eyes off for an instant.

"The Law of Demonstrations and Assemblies?" (To be continued.) )
