The funeral committee headed by Zhang Tinglan busily sent Li Yuanhong to the cemetery. President Li Yuanhong was finally over. With his death, it was time for China's political arena to be reshuffled. There have always been many people who covet the highest power. Although Zhang Tinglan has become the interim president and is only half a step away from reaching the top, many people still want to compete. In Tang Shaoyi's house, a guest rebelled overnight, and it was Hu Shi who came. Tang Shaoyi still wanted to receive this famous new-school scholar. As soon as Hu Shi sat down, he said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you have worked hard and made great achievements over the years. First, you formed a cabinet to govern the world, and then pacified the southwest. You have done all great things. "You are really admired by people." "It's just a joke. Tang is just doing his duty. Now he is getting older and his health is not good. It's time to entertain his grandson and take care of his life. Don't mention those past events again." " Tang Shaoyi is so shrewd. As soon as Hu Shi started praising him, he could see his thoughts, so he directly said that he would ignore state affairs. In fact, this is correct. Since resigning as the chairman of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, Tang Shaoyi has indeed not been very prominent. , I usually meet up with some old friends, drink tea, and talk about innocuous things. When Hu Shi saw Tang Shaoyi like this, he was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Mr. Tang, I have a few heartfelt words, please listen to them. Now that the President of Li has passed away, the head of state is vacant. It should be re-elected. I thought that only Tang Shaoyi could do it." Mr. Shi is the most suitable candidate. I hope you can take on the responsibility for the sake of the country." Tang Shaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked a little gloomy: "Mr. Shizhi, no one has more prestige in the world than Tang. Countless. And you said that the position of president is vacant, which is not true. Zhu Yan is now the interim president. In terms of merit, talent, and prestige, no one can compare with Zhu Yan as the president in the world. Look, it's a matter of course, why should Tang overestimate his capabilities?" Hu Shi also heard the displeasure in Tang Shaoyi's tone, and he immediately said: "Mr. Tang, I'm not questioning the interim president. On the contrary, his abilities have been obvious to all over the years. We admire him very much for what he has done. However, we ask Mr. Tang to think about the future of the country and the constitutional government of the Republic of China. We must not let the interim president take office, otherwise the world will be in trouble!" "Hmph! . Hu Shi. You are just a scholar. I respect your knowledge, so I listened to you a few more words. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kick you out immediately. You also studied in the United States, don¡¯t you admire the electoral system. Since the election is about selecting talents, I am young and powerful, and have high prestige. Is there a more suitable candidate for president? Why are you here to instigate? " "Mr. Tang, please don't be angry and listen to me. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Tinglan in all aspects. The only thing is that he is too young. He is only 29 years old and has not yet reached his thirties. Once he suddenly takes office, it will not be a blessing to the country. " "Nonsense. I have to say that over the years, whether he is leading troops in war or governing the country, he has made a lot of achievements. Not only does he not have the impatience of young people, he is also steady and mature, and he is determined to innovate. The issue of age is not worth mentioning." Hu Shi saw that Tang Shaoyi was so stubborn. , he also stamped his feet anxiously: "Mr. Tang, you have never thought that Zhang Tinglan is not yet thirty years old. If he has served as president for two terms, he is not yet forty years old. Among all politicians, he is still the youngest A leader. Imagine how someone under the age of 40 would be willing to lose power. He will definitely continue to work until he is 50 or 60 years old, or even become a lifelong president. In this way, the political system will inevitably become a dictatorship. . The lifelong tenure of the head of state may develop into a hereditary system. If this happens, won¡¯t the Republic of China exist in name only?¡± After hearing Hu Shi¡¯s words, Tang Shaoyi¡¯s expression changed slightly. It¡¯s not that he hadn¡¯t thought about this, it¡¯s just that As he got older, he felt that these things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't think much about it. After letting Hu Shi point it out, Tang Shaoyi also pondered a little. There is a door! Hu Shi was secretly happy and said hurriedly: "Mr. Tang, if you can serve as president for two terms and stop Zhang Tinglan, and then Zhang Tinglan takes office again, then by the time he becomes president, he will already be around fifty. And in twenty years, the country will surely have the wisdom of the people. When the time comes, we will definitely not allow a dictator to appear. Zhang Tinglan will be gloriously removed from office, and the country's democratic system will be stabilized. Once this practice is formed, you and Zhang Tinglan will play the role of China's Washington, and everyone in the world will be grateful to you. "Achievements." When Hu Shi got to the critical moment, he danced and looked extremely excited. Tang Shaoyi frowned and suddenly waved his hand: "Stop talking about it. Let Tang think about this matter. You can leave first." , Hu Shi had to turn around and leave. As soon as he reached the door, Tang Shaoyi suddenly stopped him againGot him. "Mr. Hu, after you go back, study hard. Don't say this to others again, or you may get into trouble." "Yes." "Da Ya, why are you a little unhappy?" Zhang Tinglan smiled and touched his daughter. Her head suddenly sank, Da Ya¡¯s little face suddenly sank, her little tiger teeth were exposed, and she said loudly: ¡°Have you forgotten the three-chapter agreement between us?¡± ¡°What three-chapter agreement, how come I don¡¯t know it?¡± ¡°Hmph, I knew you would know it. Pretending to be confused." Da Ya took out a piece of paper from her schoolbag, waved it in front of Zhang Tinglan, and then said: "These are the conditions for me to agree to go to school. There are three conditions in total. I am not a child anymore. The first one is not allowed. My nickname is Zhang Yiqin. Secondly, I¡¯m not allowed to touch my head. Thirdly, I¡¯m not allowed to ask about the school. Look, there¡¯s your signature here. Now I¡¯ve violated three rules. What do you think I should do?¡± What can I do? You win." Zhang Tinglan smiled and hugged her daughter, and said, "If you don't want to say anything, just go and see your younger brothers and sisters." Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter and walked back. Da Ya looked at her. He looked at Zhang Tinglan and suddenly said timidly: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry." "Do you think your dad has such a small temper that he will get angry easily?" "Huh, there's a new kid in our school. The civics teacher required both senior and junior high school students to attend the class. The first lesson they taught was Washington. When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he didn't care, but smiled dumbly: "You little brats know." "Who is Washington?" "Isn't he the first president of the United States? My mother has told me his story a long time ago. With the help of the French, he got a huge advantage and built the country by luck. With real ability, he is far behind in defeating Russia, Japan, and the United Kingdom." Da Ya said proudly: "But the new civics teacher praised Washington a lot, and said that he was a perfect man through the ages, comparable to Yao and Shun. "The virtue of surrender is a model for the world. He even brought a statue here and asked everyone to bow to the statue of Washington." "This is nothing. Washington is indeed amazing. After all, he founded the United States and is considered a figure." "That's not the case. After the teacher finished talking about Washington, he also talked about Napoleon. He said that this military and political strongman defeated all enemies, but he did not defeat himself. He regarded the world as his own, brazenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and destroyed democracy. , corrupted the Republic, and although he had outstanding military exploits and was unrivaled across Europe, he was still defeated at Waterloo and died alone on the island. He said that if Washington was born in China, it would be a blessing for the world, but if Napoleon was born, the world would be in chaos. , all the people will suffer, those who are strong in military and political affairs must take a warning." "My dear daughter, can you understand what he means?" "Why can't you understand? He is cursing Dad. If you follow Washington's example, you will get it. Respect, if you follow Napoleon's example, you will only end up alone and die on the island." When Da Ya said this, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, and he put his little hand around Zhang Tinglan's neck and pressed it into Zhang Tinglan's arms. "Stop crying, your father, I don't want to be Washington, nor will I be Napoleon. I am who I am, and China is China. Compared with a bunch of barbarian chiefs and the Lord of the Celestial Dynasty, they are complete fools." Zhang Tinglan hugged him Daughter, when you get to the back, Zhou Xinyun and Qiao Lanyun are both inside. In the past few years, Qiao Lanyun and Sun Xianrui each gave birth to a son. Zhou Xinyao actually gave birth to a pair of twins. There were four more children in the official residence, and it suddenly became lively. . Da Ya had no interest in the baby who could not explain the words clearly. She just snuggled into Zhang Tinglan's arms and was reluctant to leave. "Sorry, I have something to do. Come with me." Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to put her daughter on the bed: "Let's play with my brothers and sisters." As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan turned around and went to the side room with Zhou Xinyao. Zhou Xinyao took out a letter from her sleeve and delivered it to Zhang Tinglan. "This is a letter written by my father. He said that he has contacted all sectors of industry and commerce in Tianjin and is willing to unanimously support you as the president for life, to lead the country and reform the bad government." Zhang Tinglan took a look and shook his head with a wry smile: " It¡¯s so interesting that some people don¡¯t want me to take the position, but some people hope that I will take the position.¡± 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.¡± The children were stunned for a while. Zhang Tinglan returned to the study and immediately invited Wang Yongjiang over. The two of them sat across from each other. Wang Yongjiang also smiled bitterly: "I have to say, these days there are so many people?Nengnuo, do you have any ideas in mind? " "Whether they want me to rise to power or want to stop me, in the final analysis they are all for their own power. For me, becoming the president is inevitable, because a chaos is coming, and if I don't personally take the helm, I will really feel uneasy. But I'm also not prepared to use violence to achieve my goals. Therefore, I plan to completely reorganize the New Democratic Party, expand representation, establish party branches in towns and rural areas, and strengthen control over the entire country.
