Chapter 744 - Semi-Constitutional Monarchy (II)

Soon, the journalists recorded that the semi-constitutional monarchy of that kingdom was sent to Europe by telegram, and then various European experts began to study this so-called semi-constitutional monarchy. And within the British leadership, those bureaucrats look at this system, and they also seem to be quite envious.

"If our British Imperial family could have done this back then, wouldn't it be good now?" Some members of the British royal family thought about it here.

Because those British royal families also feel that this semi-constitutional monarchy maintains the flexibility of the monarch's power and can maintain the royal power position. Because after the so-called constitutional monarchy was implemented in Britain at that time, the power of the British monarch to intervene almost directly in politics was almost gone. After the revolution, the British monarch could only intervene in government through indirect methods, but indirect methods were not direct methods after all, and indirect methods were certainly not as fast as direct methods, and they would achieve twice the result with half the effort. And the cabinets that represent the bourgeoisie are not vegetarians, and they will certainly use various means to bind and limit the power of the monarch. This is also the role of political righteousness, and as soon as the British monarch signed a constitutional monarchy, it meant that they gave up the right to directly intervene in politics. But once you give up the "righteousness" of interfering in politics, that person can have a way to block you back.

Why do many people with vested interests also want to protect their gray interests through legislation? In fact, legislation is to legitimize a gray interest, and then you can protect your own interests, and you can effectively protect your legitimate interests in the future. The reason why the British royal family will gradually lose power is because they have decided to give up the right to govern, so even if they can sometimes use indirect means, it is "illegal" after all. Why do so many people think that the country should be governed by law? In fact, the rule of law also depends on whose law it is, and if it is a law that represents the interests of the vast majority of citizens, then it is naturally right to govern the country according to law. However, if it only represents the interests of a small number of nobles. Then it is useless to rule the country according to law.

The constitution of this constitutional monarchy represents the interests of the British bourgeoisie, but it does not all represent the interests of the British royal family, so they must have to lose a lot. Once this "righteousness" is lost, it means that the days are not as good as the year.

"Hey, it's a pity why didn't the ancestors think of this method back then? If the ancestors could have thought of this method, it would definitely be able to safeguard the interests of our royal family to the greatest extent. How nice that would be! Some members of the British royal family complained in their hearts.

And the British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, is more concerned about the stability of the Prime Minister in the cabinet, because according to this semi-constitutional monarchy, it means that although the Prime Minister cannot directly serve as a member of Parliament, it is much more stable. At present, the method of selecting the prime minister of the United Kingdom is to use the leader of the majority party in parliament to form a cabinet, and the formation of a cabinet by such a party leader may not be very stable. Once people within their own party choose to "mutiny," it is not impossible to launch a cabinet to oust him, the prime minister, and then go up on their own.

Why did the Japanese prime minister change faster than pants in the future? In fact, this situation is also a very important factor, because the disagreement within the party has led to a change of party leaders. And a change of leadership means a change of prime minister. And the Marquis of Salisbury is also quite envious of the future prime minister of China, who can control the government relatively steadily during his term of office, and do not have to worry too much about launching a cabinet overthrow movement within himself, so that they can obtain more stable ruling power. However, what made the Marquis of Salisbury feel dissatisfied was that the personnel power still belonged to the monarch, which must have made the ruling party quite unwilling.

However, both the British royal family and the Marquess of Salisbury saw the benefits, but they had nothing to do. The British have established the so-called system so many years ago, and this system has formed a group of large vested interests. They are certainly champions of this current system. Naturally, they will not be willing to let the British royal family control the military and personnel power again, so they are naturally unwilling to let those royal families have a chance to rise again. On the other hand, it's about the toppling of the cabinet. In fact, this cabinet overthrow is also an important means within the major political parties. Those who are not in the position are always staring at the prime minister's position, so they don't want this system to be implemented in the UK. The reason why the Marquess of Salisbury feels that this system is good is because he himself sits in the prime minister's position, and if she belongs to the people who have not become prime minister, he will also think that this system is not good. This ass decides the head. This is the case in every country.

And in Germany, those German civil officials also began to look at this situation about the semi-constitutional monarchy here, and they couldn't help but regret it a little. The German civil servants and the aristocracy behind them also felt that this semi-constitutional monarchy was also good, especially the old subordinates of Bismarck. Those old Bismarck's subordinates also felt very good about this, especially when Bismarck was given by Wilhelm II to cross the river and dismantle the bridge. This makes them feel the shortcomings of this kind of dualist constitutional monarchy in Germany. That is, although the monarch has achieved a constitutional monarchy, the king still has a lot of power and can appoint the head of government by himself. Even if he was as good as Bismarck later, wasn't he "resigned" by Wilhelm II?

Therefore, according to the principle that the butt decides the head, they also think that the German emperor has too much power, and it is definitely not suitable for them as civil officials. If Bismarck had changed his identity and was not the prime minister of an empire, if this semi-constitutional monarchy could be realized, would it be possible to safeguard their interests?

And the German emperor Wilhelm II also saw the content of this semi-constitutional monarchy, and he couldn't help frowning, especially when he saw that his subordinates looked at the content of this semi-constitutional monarchy, they also felt that this was limiting their power, which made him naturally not very satisfied. Wilhelm II is also the same as Wang Guorui, since he has eaten the power in his mouth, he naturally refuses to spit it out easily. So naturally, they don't want an administrative semi-constitutional monarchy.

Since he has already eaten it in his mouth, it is naturally impossible to give it to others casually. However, this Wilhelm II obviously did not expect that Wang Guorui did it very simply and was directly willing to give up power. This Wilhelm II admired Wang Guorui more, and he was able to take the initiative to give up when he had absolute power. Although he will definitely be able to hold absolute power when he is alive in this life, when it comes to his descendants, it will inevitably be inferior to the next. But Wilhelm II didn't know that Wang Guorui knew deeply in the future that he could not achieve national development by relying on autocracy. In later generations of authoritarian countries, such as a neighbor of China, and those oil tycoons in the Middle East? They adopt an authoritarian model, but in order to maintain their autocracy, they will inevitably choose to fool the people. And the result of fooling the people will inevitably cause the whole country to be stupid. The whole country is stupid, and it must be that the country cannot guarantee sustainable development.

Although some people think that some Middle Eastern countries have good social welfare, they seriously ignore how those benefits come from. They were all given by the kings, built on the relative scarcity of the citizens of their country, and the oligarchs held the oil. Those monarchs used their power to put all this oil into their own families, so can they not be rich? And if the governments of their countries can use all this oil for the welfare of ordinary people, their citizens will be better off. But most of the oil was used to satisfy the luxurious life of the aristocracy, so naturally they would definitely do so.

So a government that really lives off paying taxes will inevitably be more democratic and representative of the interests of the people than those that rely on the wealth provided by such oligarchs.

Therefore, Wang Guorui knew this situation better than Wilhelm II, and if he wanted to maintain the power of his family, he would inevitably fool the people at that time. And fooling the people will eventually lead to the sinking of the country, so that those European countries will certainly not miss the opportunity to continue the invasion. Europe will never allow China to raise it again, and if Wang Guorui chooses foolish people in order to ensure the power of his descendants, then they will definitely be stupid. Therefore, in terms of the security of the country and the nation and the choice of power of his family, he chose the stability of the country and the nation. After all, when the country and the nation are stable, his royal family can continue to serve the iron and golden rice bowl of the royal family.

If the country declines, then the golden job bowl of his royal family will not be safe. At that time, either a revolution broke out in the country, or it became a puppet of the Western countries like the Manchus. If he overthrows the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then his descendants become Manchu like the Manchus for power, then Wang Guorui will really hang himself now.

Therefore, he will never allow his descendants to do so, he would rather give up part of his power, and he must maintain the security and stability of the country.

"Next, after the founding of China, there will definitely be a general election, but this is just a change of soup! Aren't the two parties in China, the Democratic Restoration Party and the Huafu Party, from the same person? So I'm afraid the contradiction is not big, but in the next five or six to ten years, the newcomers of these two parties will take office, and the old people of the past will be replaced, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble! Wilhelm II thought. (To be continued.) )
