The funeral committee led by Zhang Tinglan sent Li Yuanhong to the cemetery in a lively manner, and the president of Li Da was completely over, and with his death, it was time for China's political scene to reshuffle.

There have always been many people who covet the highest power, although Zhang Tinglan has become the interim president, and he is only half a step away from reaching the top, but many people still want to fight.

Just in Tang Shaoyi's house, there was a guest who rebelled overnight, and it was Hu Shi who came.

As soon as Hu Shi sat down, he said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you have worked hard over the years, first formed a cabinet, governed the world, and then pacified the southwest, and did all the great things, which is really admired by people." ”

"It's a joke, Tang is just doing his duty, and now that he is older, his body is not good, just when he is teasing his grandson and raising his life, don't mention those past events again."

Tang Shaoyi is so shrewd, from the moment Hu Shi opened his mouth to praise himself, he could see his thoughts, so he directly said that he ignored state affairs, in fact, this is not wrong, since stepping down as the chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Committee, Tang Shaoyi is indeed not very prominent, and he usually meets with some old friends, drinks tea, and talks about inconsequential things.

When Hu Shi saw Tang Shaoyi like this, he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, I have a few heartfelt words below, please listen to them." Now that President Li Da has passed away and the head of state is vacant, he should be re-elected, and I foolishly think that only Mr. Tang is the most suitable candidate. ”

Tang Shaoyi's eyebrows were raised, and his face was a little gloomy: "Mr. Shizhi, there are countless people whose prestige in the world is better than Tang's. And you say that the position of the president is vacant, which is not necessarily true. Humble Yan is now the interim president, in terms of merit, ability, and prestige, who can compare with Humble Yan. He is now the president, which is a natural thing for the world to look up to, why should Tang not measure himself? ”

Hu Shi also heard the unhappiness in Tang Shaoyi's tone, and he immediately said, "Mr. Tang." I am not questioning the interim president, on the contrary, his ability is obvious to all, and we also admire what he has done over the years. However, I also ask Mr. Tang to think about the future of the country and the constitutional system of the Republic of China. We must not allow the interim president to take office, otherwise the disaster of the world is just around the corner! ”

"Hmph. Hu shi. You are just a scholar, I respect your learning, I have only listened to a few more words, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I will immediately kick you out. You also studied in the United States, don't you advocate the electoral system? Since the election is to select the meritocracy, and to be humble and strong, and to have high prestige, is there a more suitable candidate for the president? Why are you here to instigate? ”

"Mr. Tang, please don't be angry, listen to what I say, Zhang Tinglan has no problems in all aspects, only one thing is that he is too young. Now he is only 29 years old, less than the age of his establishment, once he suddenly ascends to the throne, it is really not a blessing for the country. ”

"Nonsense, humble words, whether it is leading troops to fight in wars or administering politics and the country, they have all made a lot of achievements over the years, not only do they not have the frizziness of young people, but they are also steady and old, determined to innovate, and the problem of age is insufficient."

When Hu Shi saw that Tang Shaoyi was so stubborn, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Mr. Tang, you haven't thought that Zhang Tinglan is not yet thirty years old, and if he has served two terms as president, he will not be forty years old, and he is still the youngest leader among all political figures." Imagine how a man who is less than forty years old can willingly lose his authority, and he will definitely continue to do it. It is not known whether he will be a president for life until he is fifty or sixty years old. In this way, the system of government will inevitably lead to dictatorship. The head of state has a lifelong system, and if it is not done well, it will develop into a hereditary system, and once this happens, won't the Republic of China exist in name only? ”

Hearing Hu Shi's words, Tang Shaoyi's face also changed slightly, it was not that he hadn't thought about this, but he was a little older, and he felt that these things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't think much about it, after letting Hu Shi break it, Tang Shaoyi also groaned a little.

There is a door! Hu Shi was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, if you can serve two terms as president, stop Zhang Tinglan, and then Zhang Tinglan will take the throne again, so that by the time he becomes president, he will already be around fifty." Moreover, twenty years later, the country will definitely open up the wisdom of the people, and a dictator will certainly not be allowed to emerge at that time, and Zhang Tinglan will be honorably left in power, and the country's democratic form of government will be stabilized, once this practice is formed. You and Zhang Tinglan play the role of China's Washington, and everyone in the world will be grateful for your deeds. ”

Hu Shi said that at the critical moment, his hands danced, looking extremely excited, Tang Shaoyi frowned, and suddenly waved his hand: "Don't say it again, let Tang think about this matter, you can leave first." ”

After the eviction order, Hu Shi also had to turn around and leave, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Tang Shaoyi suddenly stopped him again.

"Mr. Hu, after you go back, let's do your studies, don't talk to others about this kind of thing, be careful of getting into trouble."

"Yes."

……

"Big girl, why are you a little unhappy?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled and touched her daughter's head, the big girl's little face suddenly sank, showing her little tiger teeth, and said loudly: "Have you forgotten the three chapters of the covenant between the two of us?" ”

"What is the three chapters of the covenant, how do I not know?"

"Hmph, I knew you'd be confused." The eldest girl said and took out a piece of paper from her small schoolbag, shook it in front of Zhang Tinglan, and then said: "This is the condition that I promise to go to school, there are three in total, people are not children, the first is not allowed to be called a nickname, people are called Zhang Yiqin, the second is not allowed to touch the head, and the third is not allowed to ask about the school." Look at your signature, now that you have violated three rules together, what do you say you should do? ”

"What else can I do, count it as if you win." Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter with a smile and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, go and see your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter and walked to the back, the eldest girl looked at Zhang Tinglan, and suddenly said timidly: "Dad, people don't want to tell you, but they are afraid that you will be angry." ”

"Do you think your father's strength is so small that he will get angry easily?"

"Hmph, we have a new civics teacher in our school, and we require all students in high school and junior high school to listen to the class, and the first lesson they teach is Washington."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he didn't care, but smiled dumbly: "Do you little boys know who Washington is?" ”

"Isn't it the first president of the United States, my mother has already told me his story, relying on the help of the French, picking up a big bargain and building a country by luck. Compared to my father's real skills, defeating Russia, Japan, and Britain is too far behind. ”

The eldest girl said proudly: "But the new civics teacher praised Washington, and said that he was a perfect man through the ages, comparable to Yao Shun, the virtue of Zen Rang, and he could be called a model of Shijie, and he also specially brought a statue over and asked everyone to bow to the statue of Washington." ”

"It's nothing, Washington is really remarkable, after all, the United States was established, and it can be regarded as a figure."

"No, after the teacher finished talking about Washington, he talked about Napoleon, and he said that this military and political strongman, who defeated all the enemies, just did not defeat himself. Regard the world as his own, brazenly ascend the throne and claim the emperor, destroy democracy, corrupt the republic, although he has made outstanding achievements in war, crisscrossing Europe, no one is invincible, but Zuihou is still defeated at Waterloo and died alone on the island. He said that if China goes out of Washington, it will be a blessing for the world, and if Napoleon is out of the world, the world will be in chaos and the people will suffer, and those military and political strongmen should take this as a warning. ”

"Baby girl, do you understand what he means?"

"Why don't you understand, he's cursing Dad, if you learn from Washington, you will be respected, if you learn from Napoleon, you will only die alone and die on the island."

When the eldest girl said this, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, and her little hand wrapped her arms around Zhang Tinglan's neck and stuck it in Zhang Tinglan's arms.

"Don't cry, your father and I don't want to be Washington, nor Napoleon, I am me, China is China, compared with a bunch of barbarian chieftains and the lords of the Celestial Empire, they are complete fools."

Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter, and when she got to the back, Zhou Xinyao and Qiao Lanyun were inside, Qiao Lanyun and Sun Xianrui each gave birth to a son in recent years, Zhou Xinyao actually gave birth to another pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and there were four more children in the mansion at once, and it was immediately lively.

The eldest girl had no interest in these milk dolls who couldn't say a few words, but she just snuggled in Zhang Tinglan's arms and was reluctant to leave.

"Humble words, there is something to do, you come with me for a while."

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to put her daughter on the bed: "Let's play with my younger brothers and sisters." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan turned around and went to the room with Zhou Xinyao, who took out a letter from his sleeve and delivered it to Zhang Tinglan.

"This is a letter written by my father, he said that he has contacted the industrial and commercial circles in Tianjin, and is willing to unanimously support you as the president for life, command the country, and reform the bad government."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at it, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Some people don't want me to be on the throne, but some people are looking forward to me being on the throne, it's so interesting." ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and hugged Zhou Xinyao's waist: "Madam, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, I have my own way to deal with it." ”

After getting tired of being crooked with a few children for a while, Zhang Tinglan returned to the study, and immediately asked Wang Yongjiang to come over, and the two sat opposite each other, Wang Yongjiang also smiled bitterly: "Clumsy words, these days have been disturbing, do you have any ideas in your heart?" ”

"Whether they want me to take the position or want to stop me, in the final analysis, it is for their own power. For me, becoming a president is inevitable, because a mess is coming, and if I don't take the helm myself, I'm really uneasy. But I'm not prepared to use violence to achieve my goals. Therefore, I am ready to completely reorganize the New People's Party, expand its representation, establish party branches in the townships, towns, and rural areas, and strengthen my control over the whole country.
