Seeing that He Qi had no interest in answering, the talkative Qian Xuan couldn't help but asked again: "Why?"
"The failure of the '1898 Reform' marked the complete unworkability of the Constitution in China." He Qi paced the room, meditating.
Qian Xuan looked like he was all ears.
He Qi could only think blindly and said: "Whether it is Yingguo or Dongyi, they are able to establish a monarchy because they are willing to delegate power to a level that is acceptable to both sides. But China cannot do it. The old lady said
In other words, the Reform Movement of 1898 was gone, that is, the power of the Chinese monarchs could not be constrained or restricted at all. This was the case in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was like accumulating a punch. The longer the energy was accumulated, the more powerful the punch was.
, however, the effects of force are mutual. The more painful the fist hits the opponent, the more painful the injury will be backfired on oneself."
Gou Wa leaned his head and listened hard outside the window for a while, but he didn't understand anything. Then he shook his head and went to the kitchen and started making breakfast. He Qi looked at Gou Wa and couldn't help but smile knowingly and continued: "Old Yuan
When I first implemented the monarchy constitution under the nose of the old lady, now that I think about it, I think it was fanciful and destined to fail. Those people in the Qing Dynasty always had a lingering nightmare in their hearts, that is, they felt that ethnic minorities ruled the entire country.
As long as the Han nationality does not have a numerical advantage, the first priority should be to defend against the Han people. Before this, very few Han people could enter the power center of the Qing Dynasty, which caused a serious problem."
"What's the problem?" Qian Xuan asked.
"In national conflicts, the Han people have been oppressed for a long time. Once they gain power, they will not let it go easily. Think about it. Back then, the old lady believed the nonsense that the Boxers could fight foreigners and declared war on the eleven countries. Then there was the 'Southeast Mutual Protection'
'Treaty, Deqian, think about who has joined it?"
Qian Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Xu Yingxu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Kui Jun, the governor of Sichuan, Sheng Xuanhuai, the minister of railways, and Yuan Xiangcheng, the governor of Shandong."
He Qi said firmly: "These people, without exception, are all Han people, which proves that the power of the Han group can no longer be contained, and centralization is in name only. So the old lady later agreed to the monarchy constitution, but it was too late, and the national conflicts could not be reconciled. The Han people had
Power will never agree."
Speaking of this, He Qi suddenly laughed and said: "It is already worse than ever. If we are lucky enough to have the monarchy, we will at least be permanently wealthy. However, some people are unwilling to set up a 'royal cabinet'. This is tantamount to a fire."
To add fuel to the fire, in the year of 1911, all parties asked Lao Yuan to mediate. At first, many people supported Junxian. Why did the landlords and gentry faction headed by Zhang Qian not support it later? It was because of this 'royal cabinet'
The emergence of ' caused the constitutionalists to completely lose hope and angrily support the republic."
"The South strongly supports the Republic and will go to war if peace is not just. Zhang Qian and a large number of wealthy people have also begun to support the Republic. Apart from the Republic, what other way can Lao Yuan have?"
"As for Lao Yuan? Now that we are going to establish a monarchy constitution, we are Han again, and there are no ethnic conflicts, I thought everyone can finally accept it, but why don't everyone still agree?"
"Because what Lao Yuan did is not what the monarch should do. It is a fact to abolish the Congress, abolish the 'Convention Law', amend the electoral law, establish a life-long system, and restore military power. All matters can be decided by one person.
The dictatorship has become dictatorial. If the monarchy and constitution succeed, it will be no different from the previous feudal dynasty. Changing the soup without changing the medicine and returning to feudalism from the republic is reversing the course of history. That’s why you firmly disagree. Deqian, I’m right.
?”
"Yes! This is what we are most worried about." Qian Xuandao.
"Each of us has lofty ideals and lofty ambitions when we are young. We hate those who are poor and have short ambitions. But as time goes by, you will find that we gradually grow into what we once hated.
When Lao Yuan was young, he was determined to innovate and work hard, but gradually he was lost in power.
He Qi sighed, and couldn't help but think that if Lao Yuan stopped here, then history would have nothing to do with him.
The evaluation should be much better, but Lao Yuan's desire is beyond control and he can't hold back.
Lao Yuan is by no means the only example of this kind. Who would have thought that the young man who wrote the generous elegiac poem "With the sword, one can achieve success, and live up to one's youthful head", he would eventually become a big traitor!
However, He Qi quickly laughed, thinking that he was not sure whether he was alive or dead, and thinking about these nonsense would inevitably make him even more gloomy.
Due to the rapid spread of newspapers, in one morning, the outside world has exploded. The children who died in the church case were like a nail driven into the hearts of the people, and blood flowed all over the floor. The original target of anger was
The country of Fa has now become Dongyi.
The "Civil Movement" in the past and the church case in the back are like adding fuel to a fire, making the situation intensified. People's curses can be heard in the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and a massive street protest is inevitable.
OK.
While He Qi and Qian Xuan were chatting, an uninvited guest knocked on the big red door. He Qi thought it was Brother Xun who came, but unexpectedly it was a stranger who came wearing a black suit and a
Wearing a pair of glasses, carrying a briefcase, and smiling slightly, he gave people a sense of intimacy for no reason.
"Mr. He, I am Shao Piaoping, the editor-in-chief of "Beijing News". I have taken the liberty of visiting you today. Please forgive me." Editor-in-chief Shao stood outside the door and bowed.
"No need to be polite, Editor Shao, please come in." He Qi saluted and extended his hand to signal.
After making a pot of tea, Qian Xuan came out of the kitchen and saw a familiar face standing at the door. He stopped and asked in surprise: "Old Shao, why are you here?"
"Old Qian, I just went to your house, and Mrs. Ling said you weren't here. I guessed that you were coming to Mr. He's place." Editor Shao turned his back, saluted from a distance, and joked.
"I know very well what kind of virtues you have, Lao Shao. You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. You are afraid that you won't be sure of Brother Qi's temper. If you visit him arbitrarily, it will be difficult for you to carry out your work, so you want to drag me along."
Qian Xuan smiled and called Editor Shao to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard and started pouring tea one by one.
The autumn rain had only stopped in the morning. No one had sat on the stone table in the courtyard, and there was still rainwater on it. He Qi took a dry rag and wiped the tabletop and the stone bench. When he came to Editor Shao, he saw Editor Shao politely refusing with a smile.
: "Mr. He, I dare not trouble you. You are famous now. Don't worry about this. I will be scolded by the people when I go out, so I'd better do it myself."
Qian Xuan didn't understand Editor Shao's joke about his big mouth, so he picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
He Qi was amused and laughed.
This made Qian Xuan very confused. He thought there was something wrong with his clothes. He quickly put down the hot tea and took a look at himself. He found no problem and asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
It didn't matter. He Qi smiled and his negative emotions immediately dissipated a lot.
Editor Shao also laughed.
Qian Xuan thought about Editor Shao's words just now and understood immediately. He pointed at Editor Shao's nose and laughed and cursed: "You old Shao, you make fun of me as soon as we meet. Everyone will say that I don't have a good mouth. Eat."
A piece of old mutton has been rinsed seven or eight times in a row and dipped back and forth in sauce. If you don't find it boring, I will."
Editor Shao took a look and complained: "Thanks to your brother Deqian, my wife won't look good on me when she sees oranges now. No matter how much I talk about it, I can't explain it clearly."
Qian Xuan's face turned red and he stopped talking while holding the tea.
He Qi understood, glanced at Qian Xuan, and smiled evilly.
Editor Shao first teased Qian Xuan. After drinking a few sips of tea, he saw that the atmosphere was much more lively, and then he expressed his intention and said: "Mr. He, I am here today to conduct an interview."
He Qi nodded in agreement.
Editor Shao took out his sketchbook and wrote: "Before I came, the National Security Agency issued an announcement saying that after investigation, the person behind the rejection of the church case was Kawamoto Ichiro. Following the announcement by the National Security Agency, the Embassy of China also issued an announcement
The announcement stated that Faguo will cooperate with the National Security Agency to investigate the church case. Regarding this, I would like to ask Mr. He, did you cooperate with the National Security Agency’s investigation last night?”
