ps: Asking for monthly passes, rewards, and likes support genuine

Lee Ching-fong voluntarily resigned as secretary general of the presidential office and the Baath Party. Central. At that time, many people thought that Song Xiaofei would inevitably liquidate the conservatives in the Baath Party, and the political dignitaries who had close contacts with Li Jingfang and Li Zhaoqing on weekdays stayed away from the Li family like a plague at this time. The front door of the Li Mansion is full of birds, and the fifty-year-old Li Jingfang has personally felt what it means to be in the hot and cold world, "the front of the door is cold and sparse".

That afternoon, it was supposed to be the day of the National Assembly, and Li Jingfang still retained the title of member of the National Assembly, but he said that he was sick and did not go to the meeting, and sighed in the backyard of the Li Mansion at the lotus flowers that were about to bloom. In the evening, the sunset is slanting in the west, the breeze is coming, and the afterglow of the setting sun jumps on the lotus leaves on the dark green, coating the lotus pond with a layer of golden fine powder. The fine willows on the edge of the lotus pond also danced in the wind, like a girl twisting her waist. The white crested ibis spreads its wings in mid-air, up and down.

Li Jingfang stood by the pond, looking at the beautiful scenery of the garden, but the mood was very heavy, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and a sad feeling surged in his heart, as Li Hongzhang's righteous son, he learned English from the famous teacher Zhu Jingshan and Bai Dick since he was a child. Now Song Xiaofei's status is really not something he can shake. So he voluntarily resigned. To retreat as advance, you may be able to protect yourself.

But Li Jingfang still has many doubts in his heart. He is familiar with history, and there is a passage that comes out of Han Xin's mouth: "The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks; High bird end. Good Bow Collection; The enemy country is broken, and the ministers are dead", Ji is still deep. He knows. In the history of China, from Liu Bang's removal of princes with different surnames after the establishment of the Han Dynasty to the killing of the founding fathers by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few people such as Tang He, most of them were not allowed to die well, and were executed for the crimes of "planting the party without authority" and "perverting the law to slander the virtuous", and more than 30,000 people were implicated. Li Jingfang knew that if Song Xiaofei wanted to kill him at this time. It's easier than pinching an ant to death. Li Jingfang also has a trace of luck in his heart, Song Xiaofei has never killed a political opponent because of political disagreement, in addition. Will he look at Li Hongzhang's face and let go of the Li family.

Li Jingfang was thinking about it, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, dressed in a black robe, came to report, "The president has arrived in the living room." He wants to see you. ”

Li Jingfang listened. Shocked, feeling that the end of Zi was coming, he asked tremblingly, "The president is here personally?" Are there any recruits outside the house? ”

The butler said, "Yes." However, there was no anomaly outside the house. There are also not many people in the presidential palace guard. ”

When Li Jingfang heard this, he relieved himself and went to the living room to see Song Xiaofei. Song Xiaofei saw Li Jingfang and said with a smile: "Brother Boxing, don't come to harm?" I heard Speaker Yung Hong say today that you are sick and have not yet come to the National Assembly. Therefore, I came to visit. A few days ago, Zhang Zuolin sent me some Korean ginseng, but I have been useless. I'll give it to you. ”

Li Jingfang's face was red and white for a while, and he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, and replied: "Thank you for the great president's concern, I am fine." ”

Song Xiaofei and Li Jingfang exchanged a few words of greeting, cut to the chase, and said: "Now there are some rumors outside, saying that our Baath Party will have a large-scale purge of the party. Party movement, this is pure nonsense. I have come to see you today and have another request, and that is to ask you to remain a member of Parliament and continue to serve your country. ”

Li Jingfang was quite surprised when he heard Song Xiaofei's words, and said, "I don't dare to ask for it." I have been taught by my father for many years, and I really want to contribute to the country, but I am afraid that many people in the party will not tolerate me. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "Don't worry. The goal of our republic in the future is to achieve political modernization. Throughout the Taixi powers, politics has become a profession, political struggle has become a regular and relatively open game, morality, institutions and laws together stipulate the limits of political struggle, and there is a lot less blood and brutality. The politics of the underdeveloped countries followed the ancient court struggles, the law of the jungle played a role, and the politics of the secret room and bloody violence were prevalent. This. The drawbacks of politics are obvious, and if those who are in power are mired in the cruelty of political struggle, how can they have the heart to govern the country or plan for the future development of the country. ”

Li Jingfang was still a little apprehensive and said, "What does the president mean? ”

Song Xiaofei said: "What I mean is that China will become a modern country in the future, and in the future, China's politics will be open and open, and there will be not only conservatives, Westerners, and centrists." There can be struggles between the various factions within and outside the party, but they must conform to the rules of modern civilization. However, this does not mean that political parties engage in endless party struggles and are not subject to effective institutional supervision. In some countries, there are no corresponding rules for political deliberations, and whenever the National Assembly is convened, the parliamentarians first go to the guest house of Party A, get all kinds of haochu and red envelopes, and promise to vote for the party, and then go to live in the guest house of Party B, and also get the haochu fee, and promise to vote for the party. This is the people of half a bucket of water. Host. Rather than that, it's better not to do it. Of course, it's too early to talk about this. ”

Li Jingfang said: "So, the president is not against the traditional civilization of our country? ”

Song Xiaofei said: "China's traditional civilization also has very good things. In essence, Chinese history is different from Western history. Our Zhou Dynasty is not a short-lived Greece, the culture is very splendid, poetry, books, rituals and music, passed down from generation to generation; Our Han and Tang dynasties are majestic and magnificent, not a decaying and irrevivable Rome. We Chinese have the resilience that Westerners do not have, although dynasties have risen and fallen, and although the country has risen and fallen, our nation, Chinese civilization, has been standing in East Asia since the time of Egypt and Babylon, and has never died out. We must not take China's civilization too dullly. ”

Li Jingfang nodded and said, "The great president is right. The political system that the Tessie countries have, our ancestors also tried. For example, I recently saw a history book, which said that during the Qin and Han dynasties, our country had the so-called 'division of powers', that is, the prime minister and the Taiwei divided the civil and military affairs, and the imperial historian was in charge of supervision. It's just that when the general Huo Guang was in Emperor Zhao, he served as the great Sima, the general, and the secretary of the book, read the official documents on behalf of the general, and approved the official documents on behalf of the ministers. ”

Song Xiaofei said that the "division of powers" only reflects the central government. The separation of supreme powers, although it also embodies the idea of political checks and balances, is not the same as Tessie's "three. Right. separation" is different, but it can be said that "three. Right. "Separation" is a thorough "division of powers," and we must not swallow dates and be complacent if we do not eat foreigners.

Li Jingfang said, "That's true. At this time, he suddenly understood why Li Hongzhang didn't choose him as his successor in the first place. The gap between Zi and Song Xiaofei is really not a little. Zi thinks that learning to understand China and the West is just self-deception.

Song Xiaofei said: As I said, in the future, regardless of China, it will still be Taixi's, and as long as it is beneficial to the Chinese people, we can use it. In the earliest Athenian period, participation in politics was the prerogative of the aristocracy, and Solon's reforms abolished debt slavery, so that the entire society was formed as a collective of citizens, which laid the foundation of ancient politics. China used to be a traditional agrarian society, and politics was the preserve of a small number of people, although a certain political system was formed, but in practice, the human factor was much higher than the role of the system. That's why I say that in the future, the biggest administrative difference between modern China and traditional China will be "governing the country according to law" and "governing the country by people." Over the past several thousand years, China has been "ruling the country by people" and pinning the happiness of the people on officials at all levels, pinning their hopes on their personal moral cultivation and benevolence, which is extremely unreliable.

Li Jingfang listened to Song Xiaofei's words, nodded, and said, "I understand." China's traditional civilization should also be transformed into a modern civilization, and our Chinese civilization should be an inclusive and open civilization, absorbing things that are beneficial to the Chinese people. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "You are right. Chinese civilization has a long history and has not been extinguished for 5,000 years, in fact, it relies on all-encompassing. It is only in modern times that it is particularly complacent. We need to restore the tradition of opening up the Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization is definitely not just a store for Confucius. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, filial piety, temperance, forgiveness, bravery, and letting, all of which are part of Chinese civilization. Fundamentally speaking, China's modernization is the process of transformation of Chinese civilization. In this process, it is inevitable to accept new elements of civilization, and how to digest foreign civilizations and make them an organic part of Chinese civilization will become the most important problem to be solved in the process of China's modernization. ”

Li Jingfang said: "Chinese and Western civilizations learn from each other, and I believe that we can strengthen the building of the legal system and attach importance to the role of education in educating people while adhering to the traditional Chinese concept of morality, so that a civilized and modern social form will be in China, and Chinese civilization can thus successfully complete the modernization transformation." ”

Song Xiaofei said: "It is true, this process of transformation may be painful and slow, but those of us in power must not stand still." Failure to reform is tantamount to self-destruction. In fact, for ordinary people, since ancient times, all they need is to live and work in peace and contentment. But far-sighted rulers will see that politics is closely related to the lives of ordinary people. Without the participation of ordinary people, politics will inevitably become a power game for a small number of ** elements. ”

Li Jingfang didn't expect Song Xiaofei to have a long talk with him, and in order to dispel Zi's concerns, he proposed that the conversation between the two be published in the newspaper. Song Xiaofei agreed. The two laughed. Unconsciously, it was dark, Li Jingfang left Song Xiaofei in the Li Mansion, Song Xiaofei did not refuse, the two released their previous suspicions, and the domestic political atmosphere gradually became lively again.
