Not long after, Yuan Keding suddenly turned to Yuan Su on the side and asked like an elder brother: "Ke Li, is the food still to your liking?"
Yuan Su said with a smile: "I have never had such an exquisite banquet. This time I really let my brother down."
Yuan Keding laughed twice, and then said: "It's just a trivial matter of sesame and mung beans. I will take you to a better place in a few days. To put it bluntly, as long as the power is in our hands, we will have all the treasures.
If you want seafood, you must have seafood, right?"
Everyone followed Yuan Keding and said a few words in agreement: "Yes, yes."
"The logic is good. But we also need to clearly distinguish the pros and cons."
Yuan Keding asked Yuan Su again: "Keli, since you are one of our own, you might as well speak frankly today. In fact, we have been studying the issue of the state system quite a lot. We believe that if the country wants to be strong and prosperous, and to get rid of foreign aggression and bullying, the choice of the state system is very important.
.”
Yuan Su pretended to be deeply convinced, nodded solemnly, and said: "What brother said is absolutely true."
Yuan Keding saw that Yuan Su cherished his words as gold, so he simply asked further: "Brother Keli, how do you view this matter?"
Yuan Su knew that he could only evade it, but he had to give some indication. After thinking quickly for a while, he said: "Actually, I am just a martial artist and do not understand the importance of this national event. According to what I have seen, as long as the central government can be implemented as soon as possible,
The centralization of power will promote the integration of northern and southern China into a whole, and solve the current situation where the generals in various places support their own troops and the local government becomes a unified entity. It is acceptable no matter what the political system is. Of course, if there is anything that can speed up the centralization of power in the central government, I will definitely
We will fully support it.”
Yuan Keding and Yang Du looked at each other, and then said quietly: "The words of the wise brother are very reasonable. Throughout the ages, looking at the political history of domestic and overseas countries, the only system that can truly achieve absolute centralization of power is the monarchy.
As long as there is a supreme head of state in office, the power is concentrated in one person, and he can command and prohibit, and he can reach out to the world and reach everything."
Yuan Su showed doubts and murmured to himself: "Empire? But now we are a republic. If we continue to implement an imperial system, I am afraid that the world will feel that it is perverse."
Yang Du, who was sitting opposite Yuan Suzheng, said like a master: "Young master Yuan, what you said is wrong. Looking at the country, the awareness of the so-called republic min zhu is simply too shallow. If you randomly ask an ordinary person what the republic min zhu is, I'm afraid
The most common answer was 'get rid of one's ears'. Since the Chinese people don't know what a republican government is, how can we better promote the development of the republican system? Let alone what is perverse!"
Yuan Su nodded thoughtfully, still mumbling to himself: "Mr. Hu Gong's words are reasonable, but the previous great revolution was under the slogan of overthrowing the feudal dynasty. Even the president is sure of this. Now let's go back to
The imperial state seems to be suspected of going back on its word, which will arouse the dissatisfaction of the revolutionary political forces, and I am afraid that in the end it will lead to endless civil strife in the country..."
Yuan Keding changed his face slightly and said: "Brother, you can't say that. Weren't those so-called revolutionaries wiped out by our Beiyang army last year like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves? What kind of trouble can they create again?"
After hearing these words, Yuan Su just sneered in his heart: Little did he know that the scale of the war to protect the country was dozens of times larger than the second revolution.
At this time, Yang Du realized that Yuan Keding's words were a bit too pretentious, so he took over and justified them: "The great revolution led by Sun Yixian aimed to drive out the Tartars and overthrow the old feudal monarchy. But what we are discussing now is not
The old feudal monarchy that was like a family and the world was replaced by the constitutional monarchy that had always been the focus of attention before. If there is a king, there will be an outline, and if there is an outline, the world can be guided. What China's top priority should be is to establish a set of loyal heads of state.
Only in this way can we implement and implement the centralization of power as Young Master Yuan said."
Yuan Su felt that Yang Du's words were already very explicit. If he continued to ask questions, he was afraid that the window would be broken sooner or later. So after deliberately pretending to think about it, he nodded slowly and sighed.
He said loudly: "I still say what I said, no matter what state system it is, as long as it can promote the implementation of central yang power, I will definitely support it firmly."
Although Yuan Su's words were different from what he expected, Yuan Keding was still very satisfied. He laughed for a while, waved his hands and said: "My brother still has principles, which is very good. I need it for the rise of China."
There are people like Ke Li who firmly support Zhong Yang. What we said before was just an academic discussion. We don’t need to say any more. Come on, let’s have a drink.”
The dinner continued until nearly ten o'clock in the evening. Perhaps thinking that he had successfully won over Yuan Su, Yuan Keding drank a few more glasses in excitement, and from time to time he and Yuan Su would drink and have a chat. So at the end of the banquet,
Both Yuan Keding and Yuan Su were very drunk, especially Yuan Keding, who could hardly speak clearly.
With the help of everyone, Yuan Keding was put on the carriage. Since Yuan Su lived in the Presidential Palace, he and Yuan Keding sat in the same carriage. Soon after the carriage started, Yuan Keding, who was in a daze, drank some wine.
He was so bold that he spoke more and more openly, mumbling words such as "emperor" and "prince".
"My brother Keli... Ge'er... Our family doesn't talk about two families. Let me tell you the truth... This world was created by my father... The master of this world should be our Yuan family...
...You are my brother, and I won’t tell you any other nonsense. If I become the prince, I will make you a relative of the emperor, and you can also have a royal status..."
Yuan Su was also very drunk, but he could still control his consciousness. After hearing Yuan Keding's words, he didn't have a clear reaction in his head. He just laughed for a while while he was drunk.
"I am the prince, and you are my brother. I make you a first-class duke, a first-class uncle, a first-class son, and all of them are first-class. Keli, my brother, our Yuan family cannot let outsiders take over the world.
Go, you know?" Yuan Keding continued to mutter.
"I said, eldest brother, you call me your younger brother, so how can you make me a duke, a marquis, or a son-in-law? Just now you said that we are a family. Since I am a relative of the emperor, I also want to be the heir apparent.
Why should I be a prince?" Yuan Su knew that these words were spoken after drinking, so he simply followed Yuan Keding and started talking nonsense without caring about anything else.
"Yes, yes, I will make you a prince. Brother, you must help me to become the prince, and you must also help me to become the emperor. Only in this way... will I make you a prince, yes
That's not right." Yuan Keding suddenly sat up straight and stared at Yuan Su with a very serious attitude.
"Brother, don't worry. I will always follow your lead. My brother is the prince, and I am his right-hand man. Whoever dares to hinder my brother, I will kill. If my brother becomes the emperor, I will be the most loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty. I will be shattered into pieces."
I will kill anyone who dares to disobey my brother." Although Yuan Su knew what he was talking about, he was just in such a mood when he was drunk, and he was not responsible for his drunken words anyway.
"Okay, great. With my brother here, great things can be done. From now on, you, Yuan Keli, are not my cousin... you are not my cousin... From now on, you, Yuan Keding, are my biological brothers. I am the emperor, and you are the number one."
Prince." Yuan Keding was so proud that he spoke more and more openly.
After returning to the Presidential Palace, the attendant saw that Yuan Keding and Yuan Su were both very drunk, and it was difficult to ask them to see the president again, so they simply sent someone to send them back to their residences to rest.dd
