"Father, are my clothes beautiful?"

"Well, pretty, our Sissi is pretty. ※※※※※I ※ I ※ ※

"Jianhuang, and me."

"Of course Ning'er is also beautiful."

"Father, you said that you have to be honest, the first is the first, and the second is the second, so you can only use one word, who is beautiful between me and my sister?"

“”

In the huā garden on the first day of the new year, the lanterns were festive and noisy, and when Li Mo was a little princess, Le Qian's milky voice, it was equivalent to "daughter-in-law and mother fell into the water together, who will save first?" It was already noon.

A person's world is very hard, and the secret in his heart can't even be said to people close to him, this feeling is difficult for ordinary people to experience, so he likes to be lively, as if only this can make him feel that he is still living in the truth.

In his previous life, although he was married, he had no children, but now he has four, no, five children, because last year Xiaoxiao brought him a third emperor.

It is naturally a happy event to spread out the branches, but under his relaxed education method, these little ghosts are all human ghosts and elves, and they are just boasting a few words, and they are taken into the air.

Li Mo smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and when he looked up, the Huā Garden was already covered in silver, and the lake in the distance was covered with white mist, adding a bit of poetry to this royal garden.

"Zhen'er, come with me."

"Yes, Father."

Li Zhen, who will be sixteen years old after the New Year, was born in Xiaoxiao, and is also a child of Gu after Li Mo's reincarnation.

It's not that he is prepared for Li Zhente, as a person in later generations, he treats every child the same, but because of his birth, he experienced the excitement of being a father for the first time, and also understood that he lived in a living world.

Sixteen years old is "still the same age as huā in later generations", but the children of this era are very precocious, although Hua's marriage law stipulates that eighteen years old can be married, but in many places there are still early marriages. And as the emperor, he is also an example for the brothers and sisters below, plus his personal teaching, Li Zhen is more sensible and mature than ordinary children, and when he saw his father calling him to walk together, he knew that he must have something to ask himself.

Walking along the South China Sea in Yingtai, looking at the eldest child like his own shadow, Li Mo couldn't help but feel that the years were unforgiving, "In the blink of an eye, I have returned to this era for 20 years, and the 12-year-old Xiao Zhengtai, who took everyone out of trouble on a cage-like boat, is now the emperor of a huge country."

For the emperors, it is inevitable to come into contact with state affairs, and it is better to speak frankly, so after thinking about it, he asked: "Zhen'er, listen to your mother, saying that many people in your school are talking about this election?" ”

Li Zhen was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why his father suddenly asked this, "You must know that he never talks about state affairs with himself, but although he doesn't understand, he still said truthfully: "Yes, many people in the school are talking about this." ”

"Oh? Can you tell me about it? What do they all say? Who will be chosen? ”

"I don't know who to choose, but many people say that if my father supports whom, they will choose whomever they want."

I didn't expect to get this "answer" Li Mo smiled dumbly, suddenly looked at Da'er deeply, and asked: "Then Zhen'er, do you think I should make a statement?" ”

Although he is studying under a pseudonym, Li Mo will still talk to him about a lot of things as long as he is free, although it does not involve state affairs, but subtly he can still faintly grasp his father's thoughts, but this is the first time to chat about state affairs, and he can't help but be apprehensive, and he doesn't know how to say it. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Seeing him, Li Mo glared, and scolded with a smile: "What is there to dare to say about the male husband". ”

"Yes, Father." His father's encouragement gave Li Zhen the courage to say: "I don't think our royal family should take a stand, but should continue to remain silent and neutral" Because our country adopts a constitutional monarchy system, then everything should go according to the constitution, and the general election is a right given to all the people by you and the country, and if you take a stand, it will be tantamount to interfering with this right. ”

"In addition, Zhen'er feels that staying neutral and not making a statement can allow everyone to calm down and think about the policies of that party that are beneficial to themselves and the country."

"Didn't you say that, Father? The reason why the Manchus were so corrupt was that they imprisoned the people's right to think and let a small number of people decide the future policy direction of the country. ”

"So Zhen'er feels that this is not so much a general election, but a chance to think about it."

Li Mo didn't expect that his question would lead to such a big reason, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, stared at Li Zhen and asked, "Is this what you thought of yourself?" ”

"Not exactly." Facing the skeptical gaze, Li Zhen shook his head very frankly: "Many of them are what the teacher told you, and Zhen'er just summarized them."

"Well, it's nice to be able to sum them up." Li Mo praised it, although it was because of the knowledge and ideas brought by him in later generations, it was already very good to be able to say what he had just said, and this praise also made Li Zhen laugh, you must know that Li Mo rarely praised their brothers and sisters.

Seeing that Li Mo's heart was quiet, Li Zhen's careful thinking turned, and he suddenly scratched his head and said, "Father, in fact, Zhen'er also has something I want to ask you for." ”

"Oh? What do you want me to help with? Li Mo stopped curiously, this was the first time in the world, and he couldn't understand that as the emperor, what else did he ask for himself?

"Father, Zhen'er is sixteen years old today, so can you ——。?" Li Zhen scratched his head, as if there was something unspeakable about this request, and after a long time, he made up his mind and said, "I want to move out and live."

"Move out?!" Li Mo couldn't help but be dumbfounded by Da'er's request, he thought at first that he just wanted a car or something, but now it's better to move away directly.

Is it that the thoughts of his later generations have been instilled too much? Is this little guy starting to enter the age of rebellion?

"Why? Does your mother know? ”

"Zhen'er still doesn't dare to tell her mother." Li Zhen puffed out the corners of his mouth and shook his head, and said, "Father, didn't you say it?" Boys should learn as early as possible**, and many of my classmates often party at home, so I deleted "

Li Mo understood that this little guy began to have his own social circle, "but he couldn't bring them to Huā Garden" because doing so would be tantamount to revealing his identity, which would inevitably make this small circle complicated, so he moved his mind and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you go to Uncle Xiufeng in a while and ask him to arrange it for you, but you have to come back and live for three days every week, otherwise your mother will be worried." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Hearing that his request was agreed, Li Zhen jumped up excitedly, and felt a little out of shape again, so he quickly stopped his movements.

"Alright, keep cheering, I didn't see it." Li Mo smiled and waved his hand, he also came from this year, so he naturally knew how happy it was for these big boys to be able to fly alone, but just as he was about to continue to take care of a few words, a greeting suddenly came from behind him.

"Guozhang to the emperor" The emperor has paid a greeting, I wish the emperor and the emperor a happy life" Long Guozhang didn't know where he came from, and before he could speak a lot of New Year's greetings, Li Mo hurriedly interrupted him with a smile: "Stop, I listened to these ears calloused early in the morning, so let's get rid of it." ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty" This is the rule. Long Guozhang smiled, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Yi'er, I haven't come to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and the emperor, the girl's family is crazy all day long, what is it like!" ”

"Yi'er?"

Li Mozheng wondered, "I saw Long Guozhang turn around, and immediately flashed a girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing an embroidered huā short jacket, a round face, two small dimples between the smiles, very cute, a pair of eyes under the curved and thin eyebrows, black and white eyes, the small mouth is like a red cherry, I don't know if it's cold or tired all the way" There was a slight red on her cheeks, standing in front of her, "There was a taste of Junxiu who said it.

What made him wonder was that the girl was going to salute when she saw him, but when she saw Li Zhen, she was suddenly stunned.

"Guozhang, what is this?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, this is our old dragon's youngest daughter, Xinyi." Long Guozhang was triumphant, and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, stupid? He also did not salute the emperor and the emperor. ”

"Xinyi has seen the emperor, seen the dog, the emperor." When the girl bowed her body, a pair of eyes never left Li Zhen, which made Li Mo curious and asked, "Zhenni, do you know?" ”

"Yes, Xinyi is Zhen'er's classmate, but Bin, I didn't know my identity before". Li Zhen stammered in reply, and a trace of blush flew on his face.

"This is a small death!" Emperor Li scolded in his heart and said with a smile: "Since you are classmates, then you can take Xinyi around, don't neglect the guests." ”

"Yes."

This sentence, like an amnesty, made Li Zhenda breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took Xinyi to say goodbye to the two and walked towards the courtyard.

Looking at the back of the two young people, a meaningful smile crossed the corner of Long Guozhang's mouth, but before he could start to be proud, Li Mo patted him on the shoulder, walked to the front and looked at it carefully and seriously, until he saw the commander of the navy furious, and suddenly asked: "Guozhang, Xinyi, this girl is really your daughter?" Why doesn't he look like you at all? ”

The commander of the navy drooped a few black lines on his forehead, and made a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Xinyi's child is with her mother." ”

"Oh?!" Emperor Li let out a long sigh, and then sighed heavily: "Hey, Xianhuā inserted the wrong one." ”

"Flutter." This sentence made Du Dazhuang and several guards, who had been following from afar, smile crookedly, and when Long Guozhang looked at him murderously, he hurriedly turned his face away and continued to smoking.

Seeing Long Guozhang's face darkened. Li Mo was happy in his heart, but he turned his head and remembered a very serious matter, and asked, "Guozhang, Gang Zhen'er told me that he wanted to move out to live, do you think it will?" ”

This sentence made Long Guozhang also suddenly lift his heart, although he brought his daughter today and revealed the secret of Li Zhen's identity with a little caution, but these two children are too old, is it too early? And it's no coincidence that the emperor suddenly proposed to live outside on the day he came, is it too much of a coincidence?

Li Mo didn't really want to care about this matter, young people have their own world, so it was not good to restrain it Long Guozhang's eyes widened, and he hung his tongue for a long time and swallowed his saliva for a long time: "No, Xinyi is very well-behaved, regret it." ”

Just when he was sad, Li Enfu, Rong Kui and Chen Ping also came, because many people brought their families, and the children didn't care about them when they saw Li Mo, they immediately overturned Huā Garden, and this group of whistling baby soldiers made everyone smile and shake their heads with a wry smile.

The ministers gave themselves New Year's greetings, and of course Emperor Li had to blead and put on a banquet to comfort the ministers and generals who had worked hard for a year, until it was dark, and the courtyard gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Looking at the heavy snow that began to fly outside the window again, Li Mo flicked the red charcoal stove, glanced at Li Enfu, Rong Kui and Chen Ping, who were specially left behind in the study, put the iron fiber down, and said solemnly: "Enfu, Rong Kui, are you all ready for the election?" ”

One of them is the leader of the Grand National Party and the current prime minister. One is the leader of the party today's president of the House of Representatives, plus the constitution and Li Mo's deliberate non-issuance of third party registration, so the Chinese election is a contest between the two.

It is a great honor for any party with the right to run in the prime minister's office, so when Li Mo called the three of them to his study, it was clear that they wanted to ask about it.

As an opposition party, Rong Kui glanced at Li Enfu, nodded and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Rong Kui and Mr. Enfu have already discussed, and there will be no chaos." ”

"That's good." With Rong Kui's assurance, Li Mo let go of his worries, neither of them was stupid, and naturally knew how to make trade-offs, so what he was really worried about was not the two of them, but that the people below them would have ulterior motives!

So he said solemnly: "You all passed when the rules were made, so since there are rules of the game, you must abide by them!" So you have to tell everybody that they all blame the price of breaking the rules! Tell them that whatever the outcome, they must accept it! When Li Mo said this, he kept looking at Rong Kui and told the truth, judging from the current signs, the [Self-Reliance" Party led by Rong Kui could not compete with Li Enfu, so his words were almost equivalent to listening to him alone.

Zimmer rarely trains people, and he usually doesn't like to speak with a cold face, but when he says this, he is extremely serious, not to mention them, even Chen Ping, who was born in the army, is also heartbroken.

In fact, the three of them also know what Li Mo's real concern is, the country is so big, there are still bandits in many places, and the emergence of political parties in this land has only been ten years, and everyone knows the good and bad things below, and the Western electoral system is the first time that the world has come, so even the three of them are very worried, afraid that the election will cause turmoil.

In order to avoid suspicion and maintain the neutrality of the royal family, it is impossible for Li Mo to interfere in the election, and without absolute prestige and suppression, it is easy to cause confusion among many people in the election, once this confusion is used by people with intentions, it will inevitably cause social turmoil and destroy the foundation that has been worked hard for more than ten years!

Therefore, Rong Kui once again solemnly assured on behalf of the three of them: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will choose." ”

After chatting a few more words about the arrangements for the election, Rong Kui and Li Enfu got up to say goodbye, and when they saw the two out of the door, Li Mo's eyes gradually condensed.

"Yuanshou, you are personally responsible for the security of the general election, and the local police offices must not shirk or obstruct it under any pretext, and in the week of the general election from March 1 to March 8, the troops will cancel all vacations, and all soldiers must return to the garrison to standby!"

"If something goes wrong!" Li Mo turned his head abruptly and said coldly: "You should know what to do!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Ping suddenly got up and replied with both feet in salute.

With Chen Ping's departure, the countdown to the first real general election in Chinese history began, and all newspapers and local governments began to post articles to publicize the election.

The two parties also came up with their own tricks, printing a large number of pamphlets, and going into factories and rural areas to propagate their respective ideas, and to explain the benefits they would give to everyone and the future of the country after they came to power.

As a later generation, Li Mo is accustomed to this kind of propaganda show similar to the US election campaign, and for him and the country, this is a big test!

A decision about the future of the country is finally laid out in front of everyone, and the question is not who wins, but whether people will accept it
