After a few days of celebration, the citizens of the Chinese Empire began to return to their busy work, and government workers began to devote themselves to the First Five-Year Plan again.

Tong Guò got along with Qin Yu's concubines for a few days and lived very well, and at present, Qin Yu didn't have to worry about anything like a harem fire, he also put himself into his work with peace of mind, and there were still two months to go to war, so he was very busy.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Constitutional Party and the Republic of China Party have been slowly accumulating their own strength, and now the two parties have no power of their own in the army and the government, so they have to compete for the seats of the provincial parliamentarians as much as possible, and strive for the right to have their own voice in the parliament.

With Chen Fu's consent, the Liberation Society has all joined the Ba'ath Party, and most of the former core senior personnel such as Tao Chengzhang have also become high-level members of the Ba'ath Party. The Ba'ath Party joined by the Liberation Association was even larger, and the two parties of the Constitutional Party and the Republic of China Party together were not its opponents, and most of the members of the Ba'ath Party were officials of the Empire, which made the competition between the two parties for the seats of the National Assembly even more fierce.

It stands to reason that the Constitutional Party should be merged into the Baath Party after the establishment of the empire, but Chen Fu and others refused to join the Constitutional Party, because Kang Liang and the others still had loyalty to the Manchu royal family in their minds, which was also unacceptable to Chen Fu and others.

Bipartisans and other parties were being seen in the provinces promoting their views, but with little success, and the majority of the population had already elected Baath Party members as local councillors, and only a small number of the people supported them, and their parties together had less than a third of the seats.

The Republic of China Party was very disgusted by the people because of the previous events, and the propaganda was not attentive enough, and the seats won were much smaller than those of the Constitutional Party, which also made them very frustrated.

Although the Republic of China Party did not agree with the Junxian Party, they had no choice but to cooperate with the Junxian Party in order to better counter the Baath Party, and they also specially sent people to negotiate with Kang Liang and the others. The Junxian Party did not want to cooperate with the Republic of China Party in the first place, but under the advice of Liang Qichao and others, they decided to cooperate with the Republic of China Party temporarily, after all, their strength was too weak.

The Constitutional Party is now in a very embarrassing position, they originally wanted to dissolve and join the government of the empire after Qin Yu became emperor, but Qin Yu did not accept them, and only occasionally gave them a few petty officials, and they were all positions with no real power, plus they didn't want to dissolve as soon as the parliamentary system came out.

They also have their own ideas and ambitions, but in the current situation they have no chance to realize them at all, and the parliamentary system has allowed them to see the light of day, so they will not be disbanded, they will focus more on their own ambitions.

The cooperation between the two parties was seen by Qin Yu, Chen Fu and others, but they did not interfere with their cooperation, because even if the two parties cooperated, they could not resist the powerful Baxing Party, and there was also a high emperor among them.

Soon after the cooperation, the two parties had contradictions, because their ideas were different, one advocated learning from the West and adopting Western ideology and culture, and the other was conservative and wanted to retain Confucian ideology and culture, and they had a fierce debate.

Most of the members of the Republic of China and some of the Constitutionalists have returned from studying abroad, so they highly respect Western culture, and they believe that they should learn from the new Western ideas and abandon Confucianism, because Confucianism is no longer suitable for the current trend, and only by abolishing those old shackles can people's minds be liberated.

The Western ideas of freedom, equality, and fraternity are the trend of the world, and the decadent Confucianism will only block the progress of the empire and must be abolished. They advocated the comprehensive introduction of Western culture, and also used the example of the rise of France and other countries to prove that only Western culture can make the empire rise, and they criticized Confucianism for not contending with a hundred schools of thought, and Confucius's thought is no longer suitable for the present.

Most of the people in the Junxian Party believe that they should not learn everything from the West, that China has its own culture, that Confucianism can exist for thousands of years, of course, it has its merits, and Confucianism will surely shine again to illuminate the land of China.

Even if you want to absorb some useful cultures, instead of learning Western culture comprehensively, you will lose sesame seeds and watermelons, and you will also lose your own cultural heritage.

The argument between the two parties became bigger and bigger, and soon began to be discussed nationwide, especially those who were idle and had nothing to do when the former Qing Dynasty's corrupt Confucian Xiucai and the like jumped up and scolded their mothers when they heard that the new school was going to abolish Confucianism.

And some students in school have joined in the debate, they have studied some of the Western ideas in school, and they feel that Western ideas are indeed much better than the old Confucianism. This is actually Qin Yu's fault, most of the textbooks in universities and high schools are Western, because he does not have such a strong strength to edit so many textbooks by himself, and now he has organized a large number of talents to make textbooks with his own characteristics.

"Looking at the strength of the powerful countries in Europe and the United States, it is all about the ideas of freedom, equality, and fraternity. Looking at Japan in the east, it also took Europe as its teacher, reformed its own cultural thinking, and received a large amount of Western culture, only to rise to become today's power in just a few decades, so we must learn from Japan and take Europe as a teacher and accept Western culture. Confucianism in the empire was very corrupt, and it was the conservatism and stubbornness of Confucianism that caused us to suffer from decades of aggression, so Confucianism should be abolished. ”

"Well, take Japan as an example, the current Japan can absorb all the Western culture, they also adhere to their culture, the foundation of a country must have its own ideology and culture, Confucianism has shortcomings, but it can also be corrected, just go to its dross and extract its essence. Not all Western culture is good, and now we are a constitutional monarchy, not the so-called France and the United States, so the difference between them is very large, and we can only carefully absorb the culture that is good for us.

Is there a mistake in benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith? Is filial piety and virtuousness wrong? Is it wrong to bow down to your parents and ancestors? While propagating atheism, the culture of believing in God is credible for the whole country......"

“……”

The struggle between the old and new factions is becoming more and more intense, and the major newspapers have begun to invite people from the old and new factions to publish articles, and the people of the two factions are not only the two parties of the Republic of China and the Junxian, but also the people of each party have joined the side they support, and in general, the power of the old faction is much greater than that of the new faction, because the feudal ideology in China is still very strict.

The scope of the controversy between the two factions has also grown, and even the emancipation of women, monogamy, and equality between men and women have been involved, and the arguments between the two sides have affected the normal work of the government, especially on certain sensitive issues.

Monogamy has attracted the attention of the whole country, after all, the empire has not yet introduced a policy on marriage, and the vast majority of middle and high-level men's families are three wives and four concubines or even more, and when the new school talks about this, it is opposed by the vast majority of the middle and high-level and even low-level people in the country. What makes the people even more angry is that the great majesty has just married a few concubines, you are chirping here, can they not be angry?

The old faction seized the opportunity to crack down, and the new faction stopped mentioning this, which is a big taboo, even the empire has not issued relevant legal provisions, and they dare not touch it.

The struggle between the two factions alarmed Chen Fu and Qin Yu, they didn't expect such a thing to happen so soon, and they thought that they would slowly carry out cultural things after a while, so they were also caught off guard.

According to Qin Yu's view, it is the combination of West China and the West, supplemented by Huawei's main body and the West, and its own culture is the most suitable for itself, and each powerful country must have its own cultural heritage, otherwise it will be eroded by other people's culture, and finally it will be easily defeated by the enemy from the inside.

The Chinese culture inherited for 5,000 years can be said to have a long history, broad and profound, these great cultures are just not discovered by China itself, and the dominance of Confucianism has indeed hindered the development of Chinese cultural diversity, and some of the other cultures have not even developed much, so the Confucian family has to be dominant.

Chinese culture has its own characteristics, not all Western culture is applicable to China, only part of the essence is applicable to the development of China, after all, the cultural differences between the two sides are too great.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the cultural dispute between the East and the West among the people, should you just let them develop like this?" Chen Fu was so annoyed that he had a headache, so he ran to find Qin Yu.

Qin Yu said slowly: "There is definitely a view, we will absorb the Western culture if it is good, but first of all, our culture cannot be completely denied, as long as we remove the dross, it is still very useful." If we had always had this spirit, we would not have fallen into the current situation of being exploited by Western powers, innovation is the last word, and only the pragmatic spirit of seeking truth from facts can benefit the people.

As for them to argue, let them go, only after more understanding will they progress, emancipating the mind is a good thing, and it is time to make some changes, just before the war starts, these guys who have nothing to do will be done. ”

Chen Fu nodded and thought: It seems that His Majesty has already figured out how to deal with these things, otherwise he will not sit leisurely, but he also has to be mentally prepared in this regard, his thoughts are similar to that of His Majesty, and it seems that he has matured a lot recently.

"Should there be a constitution on marriage? Or is it polygamy? ”

"If you want to get married, it's up to you to reform, I still hope to be able to carry out monogamy, after all, the imbalance between women and men in the empire is too strict, as for those who had several wives or concubines before, they all recognize their legitimacy, but abolish the extremely insulting title of concubine, and concubines become wives, which is the same as the status of a wife."

"Okay, I know how to do it, I will let the Congress do its best to pass this marriage law, don't worry." Qin Yu said that Cheng Dù Chen Fu is a fool if he doesn't understand it, the current Congress is in the hands of the Baath Party, and it is still very simple to get through guò.

Qin Yu is thinking about the imbalance between men and women, if those middle and high-level people marry more wives and concubines after getting rich in the future, it will cause a large number of single men to save zài, and the proportion of male and female imbalance will become bigger and bigger, and this must be changed.
