Chapter 159: The Supremacy of Material Interests in Politics Zhuo Ru was ignored by Jingwei
"There are three great empires in the world - the Chinese Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, and among the three empires, the Russian Empire has been reduced to yesterday's memory with the storm of the "February Revolution", and the end of the Ottoman Empire is not far off.
And now, at this time, when two of the three empires have become history or are about to become history, the future and future of the relatively enlightened Chinese empire among the three empires, which implements the enlightened Chinese empire, has always been the focus of the world's attention, and this attention even exceeds the attention of its 12.7 million troops......"
"Zilin West News"
For any country, as the capital of a country, there is always only one kind of person in the capital, that is, all kinds of political figures, who have more or less all kinds of relations with politics, in fact, it is they who constitute the most wonderful ring chapter of a country's capital, as for the composition of those living beings - ordinary Shengdou small people, they are often directly ignored, and not many people will really care about these Shengdou small people.
In Nanjing, perhaps the capital of the empire, which Westerners call "the combination of traditional Eastern and Western representative systems", the political circle here seems to be clearly divided into two extremes, one is the imperial government cabinet composed of officials appointed by His Majesty, and most of the bureaucratic elites living in this circle have dominated everything in the whole country in the past ten years, and even the daily life of the people has also carried out "control control" under special economic policies. These Imperial officials relied on the authority of the Imperial Administrative Law, and of course no one doubted that they relied more on His Majesty's trust.
On the other hand, the Diet was formed during the Liberation Campaign, which was formed out of a competition for the hearts of the people, especially the gentry. The majority of the gentry elite in the parliament were the elite gentry who enjoyed a high reputation in the country, at least in one province, who supervised the operation of the imperial administration and law enforcement agencies as in the past, and fulfilled their responsibilities as overseers, while they relied on the will of the people and the aura of "elected parliamentarians" on them.
On top of these two, there is a more special existence - the royal family. To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor himself, the Emperor himself struggled to maintain a balance between the two, whether it was the Imperial Government or the Imperial Parliament, no matter how much conflict they had and what kind of contradictions they generated, the Emperor himself relied on the support of millions of troops. It skillfully maintains the stability of the country's political situation and makes the country's politics maintain its unique order.
Thanks to the support of the Imperial Constitution, this inner circle of imperial politics has been in the inner circle for the past dozen years. It has long formed its own political characteristics, but although it has formed its own political characteristics, for those elected politicians, more or less, they always want more. More influence, more prestige, of course. It's more about power!
Perhaps, this is the truth of politicians, and the ultimate goal of politicians is for power!
“…… Do something, but don't do something. ”
At the headquarters of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Liang Qichao said solemnly,
"A lot of people. There used to be a lot of hope for us, especially. Many young people who have joined our party are even more enthusiastic. I poured a little cold water on you today and said unceremoniously that this social insurance law is just a piece of paper, and it has no practical effect! ”
Listening to the words of the party leader, Wang Jingwei was silent for a while, and then he looked at Liang Qichao and said:
"Mr. Zhuoru, your words are not unreasonable, but if we object, the forces will give people a handle." …,
Wang Jingwei, the former revolutionary party, joined the Democratic Party many years ago, it was his "selling his body" that made the Democratic Party rise sharply, and also split the original revolutionary party, and it was from then on that the revolutionary party split into two parts, one radical, became the current "republicans", they believe that the future of China lies in the republic, so as to unswervingly embark on the road of overthrowing the imperial system, while the other faction has taken the road of "supervising the operation of the government and promoting the strength of the country", compared with the former, These people led by Wang Jingwei are undoubtedly more realistic, but no one knows that Wang Jingwei has been burdened with an extremely "shameful" past, and as for who understands and understands that past, I am afraid that only he can inform him.
Wang Jingwei's objection made Liang Qichao change color suddenly, and he shook his head and said:
"Zhaoming, you are mistaken, this is just a play, a play that His Majesty uses to buy the hearts of the people, what we oppose is only a play, not the establishment of social security, what we need is to seek more benefits for the workers, not ......"
After a pause, Liang Qichao said in a resolute tone:
"Perhaps, we can accept funding from those companies, and we do need their funding, and on some issues, we can make appropriate compromises, but, believe me, I will not sacrifice the interests of ordinary people."
At such a point, it seemed that there was no need to say any more, but Wang Jingwei smiled and said:
"Mr. Zhijie is commendable!"
Anyone can hear that Wang Jingwei's words are a little wrong, but at this time, he is inconvenient to attack.
"Not saving the powerful is to maintain our party's innocence to the country and the people."
Faced with this answer, Wang Jingwei sneered:
"So, if we oppose the Social Security Act, will it become us saved by the powerful?"
"I have always supported the establishment of a sound social security system in our country, and now, the fundamental question is what kind of social insurance and social security we should establish, not just a bill."
At this time, Liang Qichao put on the style of a political commentator and thinker in Su Rili. With Yang Du, he didn't get anything, and now, in the party, he is also facing pressure of one kind or another.
"This is a brilliant argument, and I fully agree with it."
Wang Jingwei immediately agreed,
"Since Sir supports the social security mechanism, then. Before we have seen the content of the Social Insurance Law, it is too early to talk about opposing it. ”
"Zhaoming, at least, now we have to reach an intra-party consensus. If the social security law does not meet our previous requirements, then we must oppose it, you know. What we need is not a shrinking social insurance law, not a shrinking social insurance law that allows the royalists to buy the hearts and minds of the people. ”
Liang Qichao's legs stilted under the thin silk robe, and he always thought that the Cadets regarded themselves as representatives of the interests of the "common people", and because of this, many years ago. Based on the experience of other countries, they came up with a "social security proposal", according to which the government would have to bear 50 percent of the social security needs, while enterprises would only have to bear 20 percent. Individuals, at 30 per cent, so to speak, as an opposition party, have thrown the problem to the government, which is obviously unacceptable to the government. In fact, at this time, governments in the world rarely assume any responsibility for social security. However, the legislation only requires enterprises and individuals to bear the burden, rather than the government to bear the main expenditure, and this principle can be accepted by enterprises, as for it can be tolerated by enterprises, so as not to damage the interests of political parties, at the same time. It also allowed ordinary workers to see where hope lay and how the democratic Constitutional Party represented the interests of the people. …,
"Zhuoru. Don't make a mistake, today, I want to be a lobbyist, I want to be a lobbyist, today I am a lobbyist for 40,000 Chinese, lobbying you, a self-proclaimed teenager of China, to do a real good thing for China, and not to put on a stand for celebrities! ”
It seems that Wang Jingwei is really a little moved, his voice is raised very high,
"We will not talk about anything else now, but only for the country and the people, and at some point, we must put aside political differences and look at one thing, whether it is good for the country and the people. If it is really out of public interest, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, then you should support it, because you are supporting things and not people, and there is no question of buying people's hearts here. If we oppose or do not participate in the so-called maintenance of party nature, it is to harm the public with petty selfishness, which is despised by the sages. ”
If outsiders hear these words, they will definitely applaud Wang Jingwei, say it well, say it well!
In the face of this remark, Liang Qichao also felt a little sharp, and he was always able to speak well, but he was also unable to deal with it for a while. And Wang Jingwei, who won the high point, even used his momentum to launch a condescending charge:
"I know that you will never make such a mistake, sir, all these years, everything you have done is not for the awakening of the people, for the strength of the country, so whether at home or abroad, the people respect and love you, and regard you as the soul of the Chinese nation. This honor is well deserved. ”
In the face of this praise, Liang Qichao said with a faint smile:
"The one who is clever and flamboyant is you Wang Zhaoming, just now I said that I am a small private harm to the big public, and I am despised by the sage, and now I am said that I am the soul of the Chinese nation well-deserved. A slap in the face came again to appease. With this ability, I should let you sit in this position. ”
In the Constitutional Democratic Party, Wang Jingwei is the post of secretary general, and he is barely the third person in the party, but when Liang Qichao said this, he was somewhat resentful, after all, putting aside the accusations, Wang Jingwei and others only saw that "this should be the case for the people", but did not see the need for "political compromise", and as the head of the party, he had to consider many other issues.
Regarding Liang Qichao's dissatisfaction with the joking, Wang Jingwei said with a smile:
"Sir's position, sooner or later, Jingwei will do it!"
When he spoke, Wang Jingwei didn't mean anything polite, in fact, this is also a well-known thing, after all, compared to others, he is too young, when these people have retired, it is natural to become the leader of the party with his qualifications.
"Not now, though!"
Waving his hand, as if fate had already arranged that day for him, Wang Jingwei then said.
"Now let's talk about it. Mr. Zhuo Ru, for more than 20 years, you have been advocating civil rights and implementing the Constitution as your own responsibility, and the Imperial Constitution was established early, and then you advocated social security to achieve the goal of providing for the elderly, medical treatment for the sick, and relief for the poor. ”
Then, Wang Jingwei said again:
"Twelve years ago, who would have thought that China would have a constitution? Who would have thought that there would be a time when the cabinet would make concessions? Everything in the world. For example, Mr. Zhuo Ru blindly adheres to the original principles of our party, and is afraid that the people will continue to suffer for decades. Then will it not be a great sin for us! ”
"That's the same thing......"
Liang Qichao deeply agrees with this point.
"That's one reason I was hesitant in the first place."
"But Mr. Zhuo Ru, Mr. Zhuo Ru, Mr. Ran, has already seen that the reason why His Majesty and the Cabinet are willing to pass the social insurance law is only to meet the urgent needs of the moment, so as to buy the hearts and minds of the people. I must have seen through it, why to give in, why to compromise. ”…,
Speaking of this, Wang Jingwei smiled slyly.
"If you make concessions by this, if you exert proper pressure, will you not make concessions to others because of pressure!"
And make concessions to the others!
Wang Jingwei's words. Only made Liang Qichao stunned, he looked at Wang Jingwei, although he didn't figure out what he meant for a while.
"End the appointment system and implement the direct election of the prime minister!"
Wang Jingwei's honest words shocked Liang Qichao, and he looked at Wang Jingwei in surprise. It seems to have been taken aback by his bold proposal, but it is undeniable that, just as Wang Jingwei said, His Majesty's current concessions are made by the pressure of the situation, to be precise, by the pressure of the Russian situation.
"Mr. Zhuoru, if Nicholas II had been a year ago. If you agree to make concessions, you will not end up with the only option of abdicating. ”
"The national situation is different, and it cannot be regarded as the same."
Shaking his head. Liang Qichao touched his pointed chin and looked at him calmly, and his thoughts were unconsciously led to the track.
And Wang Jingwei looked at Liang Qichao with both eyes.
"The national situation is different, but the development of the current situation in the future must be similar, otherwise. His Majesty will not make a surprise request to the Prime Minister, and then there will be concessions on social insurance. Since Your Majesty has some worries, there must be a reason, and all we need is to go with the flow, push the boat down the river, and turn the situation into a situation for our use! ”
"Turning the bureau for me?"
"Exactly."
Seeing that Liang Qichao's thoughts had been brought over by himself, Wang Jingwei hurriedly affirmed.
"Now, of course, there is one thing, because we are against your wishes, we are unable to achieve a truly adaptable social security, so as to benefit the people, and we have to be responsible for China's affairs, I hope that in the future, what we will implement is a real social security system that provides for the elderly, medical treatment for the sick, and helps the poor, not the social insurance law introduced by His Majesty and the bureaucrats in order to appease the people. Mr. Zhuoru, it is only by passing it that it is possible for the people to understand that they could have received more, so that we can take advantage of this situation and achieve the ideals that our generation has been striving for for many years. ”
After Wang Jingwei said this, Liang Qichao pondered, while pondering, he looked at Wang Jingwei from time to time, looking at the extremely young secretary general, at this moment, he gave birth to a feeling of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves.
"Mr. Zhuo Ru, if the direct election of the prime minister is successful, we can coordinate the interests of all parties and formulate a new "Social Insurance Law".
In the face of Wang Jingwei's words, Liang Qichao pondered for a long time, and the leader agreed:
"You have a point, I didn't think about that. Indeed, in the past decade or so, a large part of China's politics has started with little concessions. ”
"So!"
Seeing that Liang Qichao had been successfully lobbied by himself, Wang Jingwei said in a very positive tone.
"Mr. Zhuo Ru, no matter how you look at it, whether it is from a close view, or from such a great good thing that benefits the country and the people and yourself, how pitiful it is that you regard it as just a move to buy the hearts of the people and stop it!"
It's a pity!
Thinking that he ended up with such a sentence, although Liang Qichao knew that Wang Jingwei was just a painstaking effort to guide him step by step, he also saw Wang Jingwei's talent as a lobbyist who could speak well, and sighed in his heart: The ancient Su Qin and Zhang Yi are probably just like that!
Although he has already entered it, Liang Qichao did not have any annoyance, and even forgot his previous insistence, as well as other concerns, and then laughed:
"Zhaoming, you Wang Zhaoming, you just teased me like a monkey playing with Zhu Bajie. It doesn't matter if you're willing to be someone else's gunman, and you insist on dragging me onto a thief ship. If you don't go up, you are a selfish person who harms the big public with small interests, and you are a fool who can't even see the good things that benefit the country and the people and yourself, it seems that I, Liang Qichao, have no way out, but to get on the thief ship with you. It is estimated that if Your Majesty knows that you persuaded me, it is estimated that Wang Zhaoming, who has done a great job for them, will be rewarded heavily! ”
"Mr. Zhuoru,"
With a smile, Wang Jingwei said to Liang Qichao seriously.
"Jingwei only sees that now, the time we have been waiting for many years is becoming more and more mature, and what we need to do is nothing more than to wait for the opportunity, make all kinds of preparations, once the time is ripe, we can do persecution, and when the time comes, everything will come naturally, as for Your Majesty...... If His Majesty is really rewarded, Jingwei will not refuse! ”
"Hahaha!"
For a moment, there were two hearty laughters in the Cadet headquarters, and there seemed to be some anticipation for the future, as if looking forward to the dawn......
