"The material is too messy, and it doesn't taste good......"

Taking advantage of the holiday, Li Kezai continued to "search for masters", and today he was looking for Li Fangying, the head of Longmen College. Li Kezai had the heart to find the three sages who traveled westward, but Song was invited by Jia Hao to go to India and serve as the governor of the Western capital, leaving only Li Fangying.

Originally, Li Kezai didn't have much hope for this white-clothed mountain man in his early years, after all, this person only specializes in political theory and has no practical experience, but as soon as Li Fangying opened his mouth, he attracted him.

Li Fangying said: "Governing the country has its own flavor, which is also the unique material of each country, but in addition to the unique material, there are also many common materials with the same foundation, does Your Highness remember the "General Theory of European Politics" written by Youxia? ”

"Uh...... I remember ...... most."

Li Kezai is a little embarrassed, this book is the basic textbook of the academy Jinshi and general affairs, but at the same time it is also the textbook of the royal school, four years ago, Li Fangying talked about this book in the palace, in the past few years, Li Kezai has been full of heart on military science. When asked him about the European navy, he was clear, and when he asked him about the details of the European political system, he could only stare dryly.

"European countries practice feudalism, complete political systems, and even Britain, but at a rough glance, they are similar to our Yinghua."

"The king was bound by the Magna Carta five hundred years ago, and no new taxes could be levied without the approval of a nation's public will. The parliament shared power with the king in military matters, and even more so in legislation. The British Law Division has a right to the people's covenant and the will of God. ”

"I founded the country, looking at the world, and learning from the West, so the people of the country have said that His Majesty will build the government, the East and West Houses are like the House of Commons of Britain, and the "Imperial Constitution" is like Britain**, and the law and government are divided, which is the system of imitation of Britain."

"It is expected that the British will govern in this way, just like the countries of Europa, and it is already the consensus of the Europeans that Locke of the Briton said in his "Treatise on the Government": the power of law, the power of governance, and the power of foreign affairs, these three powers should be separated. The law rests with the people. The parliament bears it, the governing power is in the court, the king leads the bureaucracy, and the power of foreign affairs is also in the hands of the king. ”

"Decentralization is not a foreign study, I have understood decentralization and checks and balances since ancient times. If we talk about the idea of decentralization, I am backward in Huaxia, but on the art of decentralization. I am good enough to be a teacher of Europeans. It's just that since the generation of my ancestors, the root of my power in China is tied to the unification of the emperor for all generations, that is, in this life, His Majesty established the power of the monarch and the people with the "Emperor Ying Junxian". Only by delegating power can we get to the root. ”

Hearing this, Li Kezai frowned, and was about to speak, when Li Fangying took another big turn.

"But do I have to follow the example of Britain and seek common ground everywhere? Of course not, Britain is an isolated island, a small country and a widow. Britain and France, Spain and other countries across the sea have different political systems, which can be seen. Decentralization is the foundation, but how to divide it depends on the differences between the water and soil and the people of all parties. ”

"Nowadays, our dynasty divides the power into four parts, in addition to the power of governance and the power of foreign affairs, the legal power is also divided into two powers: legislative and judicial, and the judiciary is also the judgment of the law. In addition, the East and West Houses are not European houses. Only part of the tax power is in charge, and at the same time there is part of the legal power, and the legal power is more in the hands of His Majesty and the court. ”

"This kind of government construction comes from the unique water and soil of China. My China is thousands of miles away, with different styles, hundreds of millions of people, and a huge variety of ethnic groups. Although the establishment of this dynasty must remove one of the Confucian laws, it must also maintain one of the countries. Therefore, the power of turning differences into similarities is far greater than the power of external contention. The separation of powers cannot be a matter of several feet, but must be based on one. ”

When Li Fangying said this, Li Kezai finally found an opportunity to interject and asked: "That is to say, we Yinghua can still be governed by bureaucrats." Is it tolerant of bureaucratic party disputes? ”

Li Fangying shook his head: "It is possible for bureaucrats to govern the government, but not for bureaucratic party struggle, why?" Because His Majesty's government has not yet been completed. ”

Thinking of what Fan Jin said, Li Kezai somewhat understood. Old Master Duan said that this dynasty is the world of today, and it has only been more than 20 years, and the old and the new have not yet been replaced, and the national political system is far from mature, so there will be a lot of chaos. ..., and when it comes to bureaucratic party struggle is not the main theme of a country, Li Kezai remembered Tang Sunhao's words before, and said in his heart that this was just the beginning, and he didn't know what forces would be drawn to continue fighting.

Only after the political system is complete, the party struggle will dissipate, no, will not dissipate, the father said, if you don't fight, you won't move, if you don't move, it's a pool of stagnant water, and what you want is that the flowing water is not rotten, so you must follow the path of contention.

So Li Kezai asked what the perfect political system of this dynasty should look like.

Li Fangying spread his hands: "Only with great wisdom and benevolence, step by step, according to the shadow and shape, can a new system be condensed, Ding Ge has always been like this, how can Li Min Sheji be treated as a blank paper, smeared at will." ”

Great wisdom? Benevolence? Those partisan guys are like piglets wallowing in the mud, they don't care about their image at all, and they expect them to have these two things?

Li Kezai made no secret of his contempt, expressing his distrust of the virtues of the bureaucrats who lived in the temple.

Li Fangying sighed: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding of Xue Chen and other dukes, and even about governance and party struggle......

His Royal Highness also knows that Xue Gong was determined to practice medicine when he was young, and after meeting Duan Guoshi, he devoted himself to learning and won the essence of the study of Heavenly Dao. Later, Xue Gong was more involved in the deep forest, crossed the wasteland, and merged the Miao Yao, Dong Tusi, Tibetan and Mongolian tribes who were separated from inside and outside China in the Ming and Qing dynasties into Yinghua. ”

It is precisely because of this work that Xue Gongcai insisted on using officials to lead businessmen, merging differences into similarities, and condensing into China. In the future, everyone in Yinghua is a scholar, and he is elected by the imperial examination, and he is not a person who has left the nationality of the people in the past, Xue Gongcai believes that this move is not to assert official power and seek benefits for officials. ”

"Let's talk about Chen Gong, although this Duke was born in the old Qing Dynasty, he is still a confidant of Prince Sui, but that relationship was also broken twenty years ago. On the study of the Heavenly Dao, Chen Gong is still above Xue Gong. He borrowed the power of industry and commerce to break the old trend and revitalize our dynasty, which is also a great contribution. If it weren't for this background, he would still have the qualifications to compete with Xue Gong for the first assistant. ”

Because of Chen Gong's actions, he has a deeper understanding of the power of industry and commerce and the benefits of capital, so he emphasizes the industrial and commercial side more. And he gathered officials from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Central Books, forming his own faction, not for power, but to adhere to his concept of governance. ”

Having said all this, in a nutshell, it means that the two are not simply fighting for interests, both of them are good people.

Recalling the contact with the two, Li Kezai also had to admit that there was nothing wrong with Xue Xue's personality. It's a little indulgent, there are a lot of wives and concubines at home, and they all talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but compared with wealthy businessmen, it can be regarded as very modest. And Chen Wance is even more low-key, but he is a little scheming, and he always likes to use small means to deal with local squires and wealthy families, but he is not ruthless and vicious.

In terms of fame. Except for those who have a stake, these two are good ministers.

But Li Kezai still can't accept the fact that he casually accuses the people of the Manchu Dynasty as secret spies, will the party struggle definitely change to another face and fight each other without any bottom?

Li Fangying sighed for the pure goodness of the eldest prince. "There is no black and white in political affairs, there is no right and wrong in contention, fundamentally speaking, governing politics is a trade-off, and it will always hurt one party. In the British and Chinese officials, even if they do not harm the people with their power and do not use their power for personal gain, they will be harmed by trade-offs. Advantageous is harmful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to choose. Those who can bear it must have a trace of inhuman heart, so it is impossible to be pure and good in Yinghua as an official. ”

Li Kezai was stunned, and suddenly thought of the previous Ceylon naval battle, for Hu Hanshan, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, ordering Lin Liang to attack against the wind was also a trade-off. Even the entire Western Fleet fought to the death with the British. Buying time is also a trade-off. Although most of those who die for this reason regard it as a sacrifice under their vocation, there are inevitably people who still harbor resentment. If you lead the army, you will also face this choice, and it is an inescapable choice. …,

The warriors are not the leaders, and the literati are also good at not governing the government.

At this moment, Li Kezai also vaguely understood the so-called conclusion of "politics is always dirty" in later generations.

Li Fangying's words strengthened his understanding: "Between trade-offs. There are also back and forth transactions, and people are bargaining chips, and sometimes they can't be avoided. It is precisely because of this reason that he is reluctant to enter politics. ”

Li Kezai was bored for a while, and expressed his doubts that were still difficult to resolve: "Then this matter can only be fought like this, except for victory and defeat." Is there no golden mean? ”

Li Fangying has his own answers to these two questions: "This is just the beginning, the characters on the stage have not fully appeared, only when the people are together, can they take into account the interests of all parties, as for the golden mean, ......"

Li Fangying patted the seat under him: "If you don't have the golden mean, how can you bear the golden mean." If it's just a party struggle in the court, it can be replaced by the first assistant, so that it can always fight without breaking, but this party struggle is not only in the court, and this tool has to be reconsidered. ”

Li Fangying sighed: "Either the old bottle is filled with new wine, or a new bottle is made." ”

didn't pay attention to Li Fangying's emotion, Li Kezai was thinking about his previous sentence, there are still people who haven't come to stage, who? Are you talking about yourself, the future prince?

As soon as he thought of this, his court attendant came to report.

"The secretary and supervisor follow the political affairs hall to see Wu Xi's straight way, I want to follow!?"

Li Kezai's face changed, and finally turned red, just now he was still talking about Xue Chen and the two are not bad people, now that their father is not in Tokyo, they actually use their prince as a gun, it is so bad that the soles of their feet are pus!

Well, now that I've been caught up on stage, which one should I sing......

After Li Kezai's annoyance, his brain quickly started to think about his own trade-offs.

In late October, in Hexi Township, Gucheng County, a group of people in plain costumes, gestures but extraordinary bearing, surrounded by black-clothed police officers, inspected a village, the village was empty, there was no sound of chickens and dogs, only some old men and old ladies squatted outside the door, staring at the people with empty and dull eyes, and the ground could still see mottled black and brown blood.

A man in a short cloth suit with a round face and big ears said in a low voice: "Gu Cheng sang a good show, all those who knew and had a loose mouth were beaten as traitors to the party, and these old guys who stayed behind were afraid that they were all taught how to speak." ”

There was a person beside him who was dressed in sackcloth and short clothes, pedaling straw sandals, thin and straight, his eyes were in a trance, like a half-blind old man, and he snorted: "Don't teach, these police officers around us will send their eyes, and these people will know what not to say." ”

The round-faced man is Zhu Yigui, and the half-blind old man is Wang Shishen, and the two of them gathered with several members of the East Courtyard and the East Courtyard of Hubei Province to visit Hexi Township, Gucheng.

As Wang Shishen said, chatting with these people, there are police officers guarding them, and these people are all afraid. But Wang Shishen and Zhu Yigui couldn't get rid of these police officers, and they also acted according to the rules, this is the place where the crime occurred, the old men of the hospital are noble, and if something happens, Gu Cheng can't get away with it.

In the evening, in the inn, Zhu Yigui sighed: "The prison side will not let go, the prisoners can't be investigated, it seems that Xue Chen and the two parties have a tacit understanding, and they want to confirm the crime of secret spies of the villagers in Hexi, so that our East Courtyard will not have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Peng's voice, Wang Shishen slapped the table with a palm: "What Peng said is true, these dog officials have been determined to harm people!" ”

A light rose in the pupils that had lost focus, and Wang Shishen said firmly: "What Your Majesty said in Huaiyang Academy that day, I still remember it clearly, today is a battle for justice for the people of my blind man!" ”

Zhu Yigui couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's right, we should take this step and beat the arrogance of the government!" Set up the banner of our Dongyuan Civil Society! ”
