Chapter 325 : Imperial Arms! Cranes in the Clouds Come!(1/3)
"We want us to step down?" Wang Zhuang Wen said in a cold voice: "You are going to launch a coup, right?"
"Yes! We want to launch a coup." A Philosopher of the Imperial Party and a backbone member of the New Clan shouted: "We want a coup."
"coup!"
"Coup!" More than one hundred thousand people shouted again.
"Coup?" King Wu shouted: "Who gives you the power to coup? Who gives you the power?"
One of the young members of the New Clan said: "The power given to us by the empire, the power given to us by countless imperial citizens."
Another member of the New Clan shouted: "You are already behind and corrupt, and can no longer represent the interests of the empire, and can no longer lead the empire forward."
King Wen shouted: "What evidence is there to prove that we are behind and corrupt?"
"Electric light!"
"Not only does your ruling palace not have electricity, but you don't use electric lights, but you also killed him after Li Fu's home installed the electric lights."
"You are already decaying and behind."
"Hahahaha..." King Wen laughed and said, "Electric lights, just because the lights are not installed, you will drive us two kings off the stage and drive all the senate masters off the stage. Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world? Is there anything else?"
A professor of a member of the New Sect said: "Electric lights are new things, representing light and advanced. You not only don't use them yourself, but also suppress the members of the Senate who have been used. What is not you behind? What is not you corruption?"
King Wen Zhuzheng said: "Okay, okay, okay, now I will tell you why the ruling palace does not use electric lights. Come on, bring them."
A moment later, several warriors led an elephant.
Immediately afterwards, two wires were dragged over.
King Wen shouted: "God has the virtue of being alive. The next experiment will be very cruel. I am very, very unbearable. But in order to show the terrible and dangerousness of electricity, I have to do it."
"power ups!"
With the order from King Wen, someone pressed the switch and placed two wires on the elephant.
The terrible AC power hit the elephant wildly.
"Ao Uh..." The elephant suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, trying desperately to escape, but could not escape at all.
In this way, a crazy electric current hit his whole body, and smoke began to flow out.
Not long after, the elephant fell down with a bang, and was electrocuted alive, and even some parts of the body were burned directly.
Everyone in the audience looked pale, and the tens of thousands of people who came to force the palace suddenly declined.
History is indeed repeated, and even different planes, different worlds will be repeated.
This group of people is really amazing. You should know that there are no elephants in the severe cold weather in the empire, so this elephant was transported from a distant colony.
In order to suppress AC power, Edison conducted this experiment, electrocuting an elephant in public and telling the world how unsafe AC power is.
Why did Edison use elephants for experiments? It is because elephants are the largest creatures on earth and can give people the strongest visual impact.
And you, the ruling king of civil and military thought in front of you.
The professors present and the Imperial Doctorate found it very ridiculous. Because it is clearly written in any new book on Kewu, DC is much safer than AC under the same voltage. However, if you want to popularize electricity on a large scale, AC has the irreplaceable advantage of DC.
Moreover, when installing electric lights, every household was warned to use electricity safely. Moreover, every household installed electric lights and assembled wires, and the safety work was achieved to the extreme.
For safety, the best insulation treatment is done from excuses to light bulbs to switches and wires.
So to now, there have been almost no safety accidents among the users who have installed lights in the entire capital.
Because the imperial people are very serious in doing things, the New Sect is even more so.
But... the two ruling kings in front of him performed electrocuting the elephant, and the visual effect was still too strong.
One of the professors had to take out information to indicate that the probability and mortality rate of accidents after installing electric lights are far lower than that of gas lamps and biogas lamps.
But didn't King Wen know this fact? He knows it better than anyone else.
He immediately interrupted the other party and shouted loudly: "This is the reason why our ruling palace does not install electric lights. The people can try new things, but every move of the ruling palace is an example of the world. How can we be hasty? This is related to the safety of millions of imperial citizens. How dare we act rashly? It takes a lot of arguments to prove that it is safe enough to install electric lights. Is this also backwardness and decay?"
Then, the ruling king shouted again: "After the founding of the new Great Yan Empire, after many twists and turns, I don't know how many people have sacrificed their lives for it, and finally determined the system of the ruling king and the Senate. Now it has been hundreds of years. Now you want a coup, and you want to oust all the ruling kings and all the senate masters? OK... OK..."
"Open the door!"
"I would like to invite you all."
The door of the ruling palace slowly opened, and more than twenty people suddenly walked out, all of whom were members of the Senate.
Their faces are complicated because their position is not stable. Do everyone prefer the ruling king? Not necessarily.
There are also members of the Xinzong Party, and Li Fu is not the first one.
And who can become a senate giant? Of course, there are conservatives like Zheng Que who are extremely stubborn, but many people can still see clearly.
They know what is advanced and what is backward.
But for their own interests, they need to stand on the side of the two ruling kings.
First of all, once Yun Zhonghe takes office, he will at least be the dictator, and may even become the emperor in the future.
Once it is a dictatorship or emperor, the Senate may be cancelled and directly turned into a cabinet.
Previously, the Senate and the ruling king jointly controlled the empire, and became a cabinet to assist the dictator to control the world.
In this way, where will their Senate go? No one is willing to give up power.
And once Yun Zhonghe formed a pavilion, would there be any position for these members of the Senate? It is not necessarily true?
Because many giants of the Xinzong Party are still waiting to fill this position.
Lord Li Fu's suicide note is clearly written. When the empire is developing rapidly, power can be dispersed, so that everyone checks and balances and supervises each other. Absolute power leads to absolute corruption.
However, when the empire is facing a crisis and may face a world-class war, everything will change, and power needs to be concentrated as much as possible. The entire empire can only have one voice, so that internal friction can be avoided and all efforts can be concentrated to attack the enemy.
These senate people understand these principles. But no matter how many German scholars like Li Fu can have, everyone is still unwilling to give up their power.
So, no matter what the 20 members of the Senate thought, whether they were really willing or not, they all stood behind the two ruling kings.
King Wen shouted: "Yun Zhonghe wants a coup and wants to seize power. Why don't he come? Hiding behind and enjoying his own achievements? Mobilize you cannon fodder to attack the governing palace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the members of the New Sect were furious.
What do you mean? His Highness Yun Zhonghe endured his country and kept suppressing us. He did not allow us to attack the ruling palace or launch a coup, otherwise we would not be able to wait for today? On the day when Lord Li Fu died, we launched a coup.
The ruling king said, what you said is really a judge of a gentleman by the heart of a villain.
King Wen continued to shout, "You are going to defeat our two ruling kings and the Senate? OK, okay... Let's stand here, come, come! There are only twenty people, and you have more than one hundred thousand. If you rush up and beat us to death, there will be no ruling king and no senate in the empire. Yun Zhonghe can be the king and emperor. Come... come..."
Then, King Wen took a step forward, tore open his clothes, opened his chest, and said to more than 100,000 people: "Come and beat us to death, and we will step down, and Yun Zhonghe will take office."
"Come on... beat us to death!"|
"Bare us to death..."
Suddenly, the two ruling kings took a step forward, and led more than 20 members of the Senate to step forward.
At the same time, members of the Xinzong Party and more than 100,000 people took a step back.
This ruling King Wen is really amazing. His methods of playing with people's hearts and politics are really first-class.
But... it's really a bit decent.
He was very careful because most of the members of the New Sect are elites and senior intellectuals. They may be very passionate, but also very civilized.
They dared to rush to the ruling palace to come for a coup.
But they would never do it if they had them wave a big stick to kill the ruling king and the senate.
Because that is too indecent and too wild, it does not conform to the advanced attributes of the Xinzong Party.
Moreover, the backwardness and corruption of the ruling king and the Senate have been happening for nearly a year or two, and countless imperial citizens still have feelings for the senior officials of the Empire.
We need to fight in literature, not in martial arts. Even if we drive the ruling king off the stage, we must step down with a relatively decent attitude, rather than physically destroying the other party.
In the minds of the New Sect's members, the ruling king and the Senate were also decent. According to their imagination, more than 100,000 people rushed to the ruling palace and shouted to defeat the ruling king and the Senate. Under the pressure of more than 100,000 people, the ruling king and the Senate should no longer have the face to stay at a high position, and should have stepped down with dignity?
This is the innocence of members of the Xinzong Party!
That's right, most of the time, the ruling king and the members of the Senate are decent, because they have not yet had to do with their wealth and power, so of course they must be decent. Once they are involved in their own power, what can't they do?
So the new Great Yan Empire was still too civilized. During the French Revolution, Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine.
In front of him, the methods of the King Wen Zheng were a bit like a gangster who was trying to blackmail the honest businessman. Without saying a word, he directly inserted a knife into his thigh, and blood was flowing. In order to calm down, the businessman who opened a store had to pay the money obediently.
"Come on... Come on..." King Wen shouted.
The two ruling kings led more than 20 members of the Senate to move forward and approached members of the New Clan.
"Come and kill us. As long as you kill us, Yun Zhonghe will be king. You will be done."
The two ruling kings continued to move forward, while the members of the New Clan continued to retreat.
The momentum of more than 100,000 people was actually suppressed by just over twenty people.
"It seems you don't plan to kill us?" King Wen said, and then he put on his clothes and led everyone back into the ruling palace.
The palace gate was closed, and then the ruling king of civil and military appeared on the city wall.
"The ruling palace is the core of the power of the empire, and your coup is against the law of the empire."
