When the anti-corruption work of various departments in the capital reached its peak, other departments did not stop, and at this time, the ****** led by Zhou Chen came to discuss with a Kalon in Tibet, especially on how Tibet could be ruled by the new empire established by Wang Guorui. And Zhou Chen and this Tibetan Kalun are arguing here, and then they are also all around this Tibetan issue and cannot solve it. And this Kalun is a representative sent from Tibet, and this representative also has a certain status, he is one of the high-ranking officials in Tibet, and the power ranking is definitely very high. His power is second only to that of the Minister in Tibet, and he has two living Buddhas. Now that the Manchus have fallen, the ministers they appointed in Tibet have lost their power. Once there is no support from the central government, the minister in Tibet will have no power, and the real power is currently in the hands of the living Buddha, and the subordinates are the four Kalons.

"Mr. Kalun, what you ask to keep is unacceptable to our Yanhuang Empire. This is not only unacceptable to our emperor, but also unacceptable to our citizens of any country. According to our constitution, we will not allow such a thing as yours to exist, so please think carefully about whether you want to revise the conditions. Zhou Chen asked.

But the Kalun said, "No, these conditions are the most important conditions for us at present, and if we can't agree to one of these conditions, then we won't agree to accept the management of the central government." ”

Zhou Chen looked at the conditions proposed by Kalun, Zhou Chen didn't have to think about it, and he knew that Wang Guorui would not agree. Even if Wang Guorui agreed, the judges of those courts would not agree, and even if the judges agreed, the members of the parliament would not agree. This is simply challenging the bottom line of society in the new era. So they absolutely can't say yes.

Because the conditions put forward by this Kalun are too much.

First of all, the first article is to ensure a certain independent status in Tibet, and Wang Guorui's new government cannot send any troops to station, that is, in the future, it will not be able to station troops of the new empire in Tibet, and can only send a small number of civil officials to act as ministers like the Manchus. This is also something that Wang Guorui's new government can't agree to, because it has troops stationed on its own territory. This is the power to prove the sovereignty of a country, which does not allow any change. Even in later generations, when China recovered Hong Kong and Macau, didn't it send troops to garrison it? Although the number of people is small, it also symbolizes the sovereignty of a country and is absolutely not allowed to change. So, it is impossible not to garrison troops.

As for guaranteeing the independence of Tibet, this is also impossible. According to the new rules, any official must also be appointed by the Examination Institute. Then he accepted the executive order of the cabinet, which wanted to ensure his relatively independent status, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and his own military power, which Wang Guorui and the new imperial court could not tolerate.

As for the second one, that is, let their living Buddha be able to guarantee the position of power, that is, to guarantee the position of power of religious people, to ensure that religious people can continue to maintain their ruling position in that Tibet, and to continue to guarantee their rights and interests.

This is also an act that seriously touches Wang Guorui's bottom line and the bottom line of the law. Wang Guorui is very disgusted with religious interference in politics. Religious interference will inevitably lead to a blockade, which will further exclude the entire country from foreign cultures. And then you can't make progress. Just like the Arabia of the future, isn't that what it is? If it weren't for the oil there, they wouldn't have been able to develop it. Let them also strictly block the affairs of the outside world, and do not allow the people to contact the outside world at all. In this way, their country will not be able to develop, and it will inevitably perish.

Therefore, this should ensure the status of a living Buddha. Guaranteeing that the Buddhist monks would continue to rule Tibet is also absolutely inadmissible.

"We can't agree to this, your living Buddha must obey our laws on religion and do everything according to the law. Religion cannot interfere in politics, but can only contribute to spiritual civilization. In terms of government affairs, you are not required to worry too much! Zhou Chen said.

But Kalun immediately shook his head, obviously not agreeing to this condition.

"Third, it is even more impossible to ensure that the economic model in there does not change. What is the economic model you are in? The monks and nobles of the monasteries occupied most of the land, and then a large number of serfs and slaves were forced to work and then only able to eat a small amount of food. And you guys can kill serfs at will, which we absolutely do not allow here. We won't say much about the past, but in the future, we will never allow you to kill people like this, and anyone who wants to be put to death will have to go through a public trial by the court. If there is no trial, even our emperor will not be able to kill a person casually. In the future, slavery and serfdom must be completely abolished in Tibet, and all the people will enjoy the status of free people, enjoy the rights of our imperial citizens, and fulfill the obligations of our imperial citizens. Zhou Chen said.

However, the Kalun immediately refused, saying, "I don't have any conditions to talk about these three points. If you don't agree to one of these three conditions, then we won't agree to be under your Chinese administration. So, please think about it, if you don't agree to all three conditions, then we won't choose to join you. ”

Zhou Chen knew that this seemed to be nothing to talk about, and these three conditions of these guys had hit the foundation of this new empire. Although the foundation adopted by the Yan and Huang Empire was not the idea of democracy and freedom, it must also ensure a certain degree of democracy and freedom, and democracy and freedom cannot be vetoed. First of all, the state is a unitary system, and the military power is returned to the central government, and the diplomatic power must also be returned to the central government, and this Tibet not only does not allow Wang Guorui to garrison troops, but also has its own army and diplomatic power, which is not possible.

This is related to the foundation of China's statehood, and it is impossible to agree to it. As for other religions interfering in politics, this is also a fatal one, and we cannot agree to it. The most fatal thing is the slavery in the back, slavery is the most fatal, and this is even more ironclad and cannot be agreed. What other country in the world practices slavery today? Slavery was abolished in all countries, and the United States abolished slavery in its entirety after the Civil War. Even the so-called decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty explicitly ordered the abolition of slavery during the Yongzheng period?

If Wang Guorui still dares to play slavery, he will find his own death! At that time, it was possible to be a public enemy of the whole people, and even a public enemy of mankind. Therefore, this slavery is absolutely and absolutely unacceptable, and it is even worse than the first two. Therefore, none of these three articles can be agreed, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve the Tibet issue.

"You don't belong to us, so what do you want to do?" Zhou Chen asked unceremoniously, but his language was a little cold.

And the Kalun also replied: "If this is the case, then we in Tibet, then we can also consider building our own country!" ”

"You dare!" Zhou Chen said coldly, obviously his words were also full of killing intent.

"Hmph, I just dare, so what? I think there are people who will help us, like the British. We in Tibet are very close to the British in India, and the British will definitely help us when the time comes. Kalun said.

Zhou Chen replied: "Then we really don't have anything to talk about, please leave!" ”

Kalun left immediately, and then Zhou Chen immediately hurried to report the situation, especially about this Kalun actually wanted to ask the British for help, which was really challenging the bottom line. Zhou Chen probably knew that this time things might not be good. Wang Guorui has always hoped that these guys can take the initiative to take refuge, and then Wang Guorui doesn't mind giving them some positions of high power and not much power, and giving them some honorary positions, so that they can retire. But now it seems that Wang Guorui's kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and people don't give face.

If you want to give up the power that you have already acquired, it is naturally not so easy. None of them are willing to give up the power they already have in their hands, so they want to give up the power in their hands, want to abolish slavery, and then give up all kinds of economic power, so that their own people will not agree. Slavery is the foundation of their survival, and if it were not for slavery, they would naturally not choose to agree to join China.

Therefore, this is an irreconcilable contradiction, this is the replacement of backward civilization by advanced civilization, and the struggle between a new class and the old class. Therefore, the interests of the two classes are not the same, and this kind of slavery is worse and worse than capitalism, which is called a flesh and blood factory. Therefore, whether it is the so-called Western capitalism or the so-called various other ideas, almost no slavery is advocated. At present, abolitionism is prevalent all over the world, and slavery is being abolished all over the world.

Wang Guorui can't die like this even if he dies, this is a practice that will chill the hearts of the whole country, and it can't be done at all. What's more, this Tibet actually wants to collude with the British, so they must not be allowed to continue to be stable, this has already touched the scales of Wang Guorui and the whole of China, and this matter is impossible to be good.

"Your Majesty, I want to see the Emperor as soon as possible about our Tibet issue!" Zhou Chen said. (To be continued.) )
