    Chapter 155 Before the Thunderstorm Li Longji hurriedly helped her up. Now the concubine Wu Hui, who looked extremely charming but had a smart and fierce personality, had not yet entered the palace. Wang and Li Longji shared the same adversity and were not jealous.  When Li Longji was in trouble, she comforted him many times and provided valuable advice.  .  .  Li Longji loved her very much.  So when Wang Hua saw Wang, he thought that she was the most tragic queen in history.  Her help to Li Longji cannot be said to be insignificant, her assistance is no less than that of Gao Lishi and others, and her character is certainly virtuous. But in the end, Li Longji treated this woman, not to mention like Li Xian treated Wei Shi, but he would not fall behind his brother.  He was killed and died of claustrophobia and anger.  ¡°Wang doesn¡¯t know now that she is still working desperately for this husband.  Li Longji hurriedly walked over and helped her up.  Wang couldn't stand up, and she said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you another question. Your Majesty has been delayed in speaking, and I understand that it is because your Majesty has very little power. But I have one thing to say. You advocated righteousness the year before last.  To kill Zhu Wei, there were only 1,500 blood battalion soldiers. However, when the common people of Wei controlled the court, there were countless flying cavalry soldiers in the palace to guard her safety. In order to prevent the northwest incident, they were stationed nearby.  An army of 100,000 people. What kind of comparison is this? Now that His Majesty is in the orthodox position, Princess Taiping is still not as powerful as Wei Shi.  But they are just generals, but they cannot make every soldier loyal to them. If your Majesty kills these people with the force of thunder, which soldier of the Yulin Army dares to follow them to cause rebellion? " Your Majesty, please think twice.  He didn't say anything big, he just made a comparison.  ¡° Of course, it¡¯s not as simple as she said. If Li Longji gets angry, he will not only kill Princess Taiping¡¯s powerful generals with lightning speed, but he will also have to be prepared for his father¡¯s counterattack.  Therefore, it must not only be fast, but also ruthless and accurate.  ¡°After all, we still have a shortage of manpower.  Wang added: "Your Majesty, if you are still hesitant and let Princess Taiping push one more step, you will already be facing a cliff. If you take another step back, no matter what happens in the future, your Majesty will be in doom." They all decided on Li.  The situation with Longji's closest maid was so critical that Li Longji had to take a gamble.  Li Longji recalled the letter Wang Hua wrote to him again in his mind. The words "You are the emperor" appeared in front of him again.  He helped Wang up and said, "Just follow the Queen's words." Li Longji was finally going to take action, but Wang Hua didn't know.  But with his intuition, he smelled the smell of uneasiness in the air, and he quietly began to make some arrangements that he had prepared in advance.  At this time, Li Shouli came to his home.  Wang Hua had no choice but to welcome her. His relationship with Li Shouli was a bit awkward. He brought his daughter from Tubo and sent her away directly without even returning to the Tang Dynasty.  But what is his relationship with Li Nunu?  Talk about brother and sister?  It was impossible, although he did regard Li Nunu as a poor fuck in his heart.  Speaking of a couple, it¡¯s even more impossible.  We had no choice but to welcome him into the house with the courtesy of welcoming an elder.  After sitting down, Li Shouli rubbed his back and said, "It's going to rain heavily again." When he greeted Li Shouli, Wang Hua really didn't look at the sky. ?????????????????????? But now it¡¯s June, and heavy rains often come in summer. Skilled people can read the clouds to read the weather, but this is not accurate.  Wang Hua could only answer casually: "I wonder how King Bin knew about it?" Li Shouli said: "No one else. When the Queen of Heaven was in power, my father, Prince Zhanghuai, was guilty. I was imprisoned in the palace for more than ten years, and every year  I have been hit with a stick several times, leaving many scars. Now when it is about to rain, my back will feel a dull pain. When the day is about to clear up, my back will feel lighter. "  Wang Hua was sad after hearing this.  Although Wu Zetian admired him very much, it can be said that without Wu Zetian, he would not be what he is today, and he might have been obliterated when he was growing up.  However, Wu Zetian's brutality at the beginning of her reign is still chilling.  Thinking of this, he wanted to abolish this abominable imperial power system from the bottom of his heart.  When Li Shouli saw Wang Hua's expression, he immediately thought of Wang Hua's feelings for Wu Zetian, and wisely bypassed the topic and said, "I wonder when Erlang will leave Chang'an." "Probably within the next few days, it may not exceed  Half a month." "It's better to leave early. This is a land of right and wrong." Wang Hua was a little stunned. Although he was Li Nunu's father, he liked hunting, feasting, and indulging in entertainment.Mauki Le is a typical playboy and an aging playboy. It is difficult for Wang Hua to respect him.  How did these wise words come from his mouth?  Seeing his expression, Li Shouli burst out laughing and said, "Erlang, don't look at me like that. Among my staff and officials in the palace, there are people such as Yuan Qianyao, Yuan Jiazuo, Pan Haoli, etc. It's not that I am boasting. In your words,  He said that they all have the talents of prime ministers. With these officials supervising me, am I really not aware of this? One month ago, when the farming season was busy, I was going to go hunting and took my slaves with me. Pan Haoli blocked the way to advise me.  Listen, he dismounted and lay down in front of my horse, accusing me, and I had no choice but to come back." After saying this, he laughed proudly, very satisfied with his performance, and he even deceived three shrewd people, Yuan Yuan Pan.  passed.  Then he said earnestly: "Now you should understand why I did this, right? Although I am the son of Prince Zhang Huai, I am in a different lineage from His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor. King Ning, Shen, Qi, Xue, and the others are all  Your Majesty's brother, but I am not. Therefore, this is the only way to save my life. With so many things happening in these few years, can't I still understand it?" After Li Shouli said this, Wang Hua stood up in awe.  Respecting, he raised his hands and said, "Teach me something." "Teach me what? In the end, if you don't have anything in your stomach, you can only pretend to be crazy and act stupid to seek peace. I came here this time to ask you something." Got it Li Shouli  "It's rare to be confused", Wang Hua began to change his attitude towards him, and replied congratulatory: "Excuse me." Li Shouli was very satisfied with his attitude. If Wang Hua hadn't left Chang'an, he would not have said these words.  .  Today I finally told others about my helplessness, and I felt very happy in my heart.  He asked with a smile: "When will you and Li Nunu get married? If you do, can you tell me? Although I have many children, she is the only one living outside, and I feel very guilty. Can you tell me when the time comes?  I received Oceania and asked me to see your wedding? I am very interested in that land and want to go and see it." Wang Hua didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said: "King Bin,  You misunderstood. I have always loved Princess Jincheng, but the relationship is different from what you think. The first reason why I came to rescue her was that it was related to the state. If Princess Jincheng was a concubine from the Xiang clan, she married Tubo.  , that¡¯s fine. But Princess Jincheng is the legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty and married to Tubo. This is a marriage that humiliates the country.  The wives and concubines were very dependent on her, so I did not want her to be insulted by the Tibetan people, so I rescued her. Even if I sent her away, I was also afraid that the Emperor and His Majesty would continue to send her back to Tubo for the sake of the so-called unreliable friendship.  Marry her. Oceania now has a population of nearly ten million, and there are a lot of talents. I will find a good family for her in the future." Li Shouli became angry when he heard this. He jumped up and said, "There are a lot of talents. I want to ask you, what is Oceania like?  What kind of talent is worthy of marrying an orphan's precious daughter?" Wang Hua thought in his heart, what kind of talent is better than that little Tubo Zanpu?  But this theory doesn¡¯t make sense to him. Maybe he would rather marry Princess Jincheng to Tubo Zampu than marry him to a commoner in Oceania.  So I had to say: "King Bin, even if I marry Princess Jincheng, I still have to get her approval. This will have to wait until I go to Oceania to ask." Hold it off for a while, anyway, when we get to Oceania, this prince can't go to Oceania to make trouble.  Li Shouli smiled again, sat down and said, "These are just human words. I believe Nunu will be willing to do so. But you married that girl from the Wang family in Taiyuan, as well as Li Guo'er and Li Chiying, and they all suffered very badly."  I can¡¯t treat Nunu badly at that time, but I don¡¯t want those horses anymore. Can I exchange them for some gold and silver cash?¡± After saying that, he laughed wildly and left proudly, taking away a few things on the table.  Beautiful china.  Wang Hua didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn¡¯t know which one was the real Li Shouli.  After Li Shouli left, Wang Hua received a long letter from Zhu Dian.  The letter said three things. The first one was the system conceived by Wang Hua.  This system is not a simple parliamentary system. Wang Hua bears in mind the failure of the parliamentary system like ancient Rome and White Clothes. After all, the people are still unable to accept this advanced democratic system.  Therefore, soon after its implementation, it will inevitably be replaced by someone and become a monarchy again.  This is a kind of party system. Wang Hua asked Oceania to set up three groups. One is a group of people from Xiao Yaxuan and his old class who were in Oceania. The other is a group of people from Zhu Dian who came from the blood camp and later went to Oceania.  The factions scattered all over the place make them a group of their own.??The reason why there are three groups is to maintain a balance. If two groups are afraid of being dominant, it will be dangerous over time.  But you can't have too many groups, otherwise there will be chaos.  Then the political system was divided again into five systems: districts, counties, prefectures, provinces and the central government.  There are Lizheng and Libao, which deal with political and legal affairs. The county is the county magistrate and the chief secretary, and the six Cao Cao Shi. It is generally similar to the Tang Dynasty political system.  Only one way is missing and one province is added.  And the province has greater real power.  At the same time, the central government system was also very concise, without the complexity of the Tang Dynasty.  At the same time, there is an additional institution, that is, the parliament. According to the area and population of each political district, some parliamentary representatives are divided. These parliamentary representatives only enjoy a meager salary, but they have a supervisory role. They also have an important role, that is, each  Institutional agencies have to deal with some matters, but there are also some matters that must be approved by the parliament.  The parliament does not go through elections. Each group elects its own representatives. The number of members of each parliament remains unchanged and is divided into three equal parts. Everyone has the same number.  This is also for balance.  After dividing the formal and political units, the next step is the election.  The first year is to choose the right ones and the best ones.  A group sends a representative to participate in the election. Those who have the right to vote are citizens, that is, people from the Tang Dynasty and some well-behaved foreigners. However, there are many illiterate people. This depends on the methods and propaganda of each group, so that the people can vote under the representatives they send.  Draw a circle below the representative.  Then the names were obscured, and finally, under the supervision of the tripartite parliament, they were elected by name.  This article is very cumbersome, but it is more advanced than the Roman parliamentary system. This is a thorough sorting out from the bottom up, rather than like their kind where each noble sends some representatives to finally handle political affairs.  It can also be called democracy, but it is a hypocritical democracy.  Of course, if an official is elected and the people are dissatisfied, then five years later, whether this group sends this representative or other representatives, the people will be disappointed and will lose the election.  If you are satisfied, you can serve for another term, which may even pave the way for the next representative of your group to be elected.  You can still see this in choosing a county in the second year.  In the third year of state selection, it is not easy for the people to know. They can only judge the quality of the group based on local results.  However, local situations must also be investigated effectively by superior officials.  This again plays the role of mutual supervision and restriction.  The fifth year is the largest and more difficult to count.  But compared with a transparent and democratic political institution, this trouble is still worth it.  Of course, there are births, old age, illness and death, as well as violations of laws and disciplines, demotion or punishment, promotions for outstanding performance, and other special circumstances. When these things happen, the principal official will take over the post. If the principal official leaves, the deputy official will take over. Temporary officials below the state level will take over.  election.  In parliamentary elections above the state level, a substitute is elected.  In addition to the state allocating part of the funds for the parliament¡¯s activities, it can also encourage people to raise donations for it.  Of course, in order to have more political participation, people have no choice but to join one of the political parties.  There were only slight changes in the central government. Wang Hua left a small amount of rights for his family, which were not very large and were mainly symbolic rights.  But this royal family will exist forever. The country must allocate a small amount of funds every year to maintain its operation. However, the royal family's own properties can be retained, but they do not enjoy tax exemption rights and pay taxes like everyone else.  This is a bit like the later constitutional monarchy, but the king's power is slightly greater than that of the constitutional monarchy.  The next step is to formulate a constitution.  The first thing to grant is citizenship rights. All citizens, both public and resident, are equal before the law.  Then there is the right to unify. In the nine states drawn by Wang Hua on the map, no one is allowed to carry out separatist activities in the territories once they are conquered, except those that have not been conquered, otherwise it will be a death sentence.  The third article is his parliamentary and electoral system legislation, which must not be changed under any circumstances, no matter who it is, including Wang Hua himself and his children and future generations.  There are several other articles. There are very few constitutional provisions, only a dozen in total, but none of them can be changed.  Use the Constitution to once again maintain his system.  So Zhu Tong said that it is too charming for the people.  If this system is implemented, the biggest benefit will be the people.  However, in order to win elections and have a greater say, the three groups will please the people.  Eventually the people will become arrogant and difficult to manage.  ¡°But Wang Hua knows that no matter what time, the people are always a vulnerable group, even in the Western democratic system, the people are still used to fool them.  If you want to make the people feel arrogant, it will not be possible for at least a few hundred years.  As this system continues to be promoted, it turns out that nine out of ten officials do not take the common people seriously. Now it has been replaced by five officials who do not take the common people seriously. They are already satisfied.  The second point is that it is easy to argue, but arguing is better than the current secret operation, because there is parliamentary supervision, and any small actions of officials of hostile groups can be seen by other groups immediately. This is more effective than the supervision agency sent by the government.The disadvantage is that things will be delayed, but any system has its shortcomings, and it is impossible to be perfect.  Another point is the prime ministerial system. If a capable prime minister follows this method, he can stay in office for at most ten years, and then he can only retire and return home.  This made Zhu Tong very regretful.  Wang Hua explained the matter.  It¡¯s not that there is no talent, Guan Jian just hasn¡¯t found any.  If such a huge electoral system continues, countless talents will be discovered.  I believe that for some officials who have performed well, even in order to win elections, various groups will not let them go and promote them to power step by step.  But it puts an end to the phenomenon of long-term greed for power.  It would be better to stay in the position of prime minister for ten years. With the parliament, the royal family, and other supervisory institutions, power will not be lost.  But after staying for twenty or thirty years, it is inevitable that he will control more rights and eventually control the country.  The difficulty actually lies in the first fifty years. Once a routine is formed and people adapt to it in the future, even if some people have ideas, others will not let them have such ideas.  In order to prevent accidents, Wang Hua did not hesitate to weaken the combat effectiveness of the army and also carried out some restructuring of the army.  The military chief is promoted based on merit, but the chief commander is elected by parliament and nominated by the prime minister. At the same time, the military only has the right to lead the army. It has no other rights, including civil rights and economic rights. It is subject to the supervision of local government and the royal family.  Through this method, the status of the greatest weapon, military power, is reduced.  Otherwise, a certain person will take power with the barrel of a gun, and all his hard work will be immediately thrown away into the river.  This system is very advanced.  But when Zhu Dian arrived in Oceania and announced the matter, everyone blew up the camp.  The first is industry. In the eyes of everyone, every inch of territory including Oceania and the output of every inch of territory are Wang Hua's industry.  However, handing over this system now means handing over more than 95% of the income. Although it is returned to the people, it is unacceptable to everyone.  The second thing is rights. All of this is the result of Wang Hua's planning, but now Wang Hua's rights are so limited that he doesn't even have rights in the northwest.  So we all disagree.  Even Xiao Yaxuan knew that Wang Huahui would carry out some reforms, but when he heard what Zhu Dian said, he was not happy either.  Zhu Tong had no choice but to negotiate and first served as prime minister to handle affairs.  But no one dares to mention the election of political halls and groups.  Therefore, I informed Wang Hua that I don't have the ability to complete this task, so I'd better wait for you to come to Oceania to handle it.  Otherwise, these people will tear me up if they think that I have tricked you into handing over your power to me.  The second one is population.  By the end of last year, the population had swelled to nine million people, many of whom were indigenous people who had not surrendered and could not be counted.  The most gratifying thing is that there were more than 500,000 new born babies last year.  Most of them are the descendants of the Tang people who migrated there and the female slaves they took in.  As a captured slave, he is still a vulnerable group. This is Wang Hua's intention. Without such restrictions, the people will be people of other races. No matter how good the system is, changes will inevitably occur.  Of course, this does not mean that every baby can grow up smoothly.  So Zhu Dian mentioned one thing in his letter: increasing the population in the short term has many benefits. As the population increases, the power will be stronger.  But it is different from Wang Hua's original purpose. If Wang Hua's guess is followed, Li Longji will actually take power in the end, and the world will be ruled in an early stage. In addition, everyone will leave the Central Plains without anyone to protect them, making the migration more difficult.  Moreover, Li Longji would not just watch Wang Hua move a large number of people away.  Zhu Tong believes that the current population size can no longer expand rapidly, but must increase slowly.  Otherwise, the proportion of people in the Central Plains will not have an absolute advantage.  However, his opinion was not recognized by everyone.  Therefore, Zhu Dian notified Wang Hua in advance and asked him to take care of these two things immediately after arriving in Oceania.  The third piece of good news is that after years of research and development, the first steam engine is finally available.  This also means the beginning of the march towards the primitive industrialization era.  After reading the letter, Wang Hua did not reply.  Because he was leaving the Central Plains soon, there was no need to reply to the letter.  He said to himself: "I have to leave." But before leaving, there was one thing left unfinished.  When the truth comes out, Princess Taiping sees if she can be rescued. This has nothing to do with the government, it is a favor given to him in the first place.  Just because of this, there is no way to save her children and close confidants, Wang Hua.  Only one person wants to rescue Wu Chongning.  This has to be rescued in advance, but with Princess Taiping¡¯s current arrogance and domineering appearance, it will be a bit difficult.  So Wang Hua called Li Chiying over, looked at her and said, "We?Have you made any mental preparations before leaving Chang'an?  " Li Chiying showed some reluctance in his eyes after hearing this. "If you don't want to, I won't force you.  " "Erlang, don't worry, I will accompany you even if you go to the end of the world.  " "It's not just the end of the world, but don't worry, I won't let you down.  Where is a place full of infinite hope.  In addition, I have one more thing to ask you for help.  " "Okay," Li Chiying's eyes were a little excited. Among all the women in Wang Hua, she was the only one who thought she was the most useless. After hearing Wang Hua's request, she replied very happily. "I want to ask you to help me rescue someone.  .  " "That one, I'll ask my father for help.  " "Your father can't help either.  She is Wu Chongning, the daughter of Princess Taiping.  " Li Chiying's big eyes flashed and she suddenly asked: "Erlang, you didn't really do anything to her, did you?  " []
