Chapter 1548 Invite a Virtuous King to Ascend the Throne

Three minutes passed quickly, and the soothing music sounded. With a suitable smile on Cao Xiulan's face, she spoke to Zhu Chongde who was ready beside her:

"There will be a public vote in five days, so let's get straight to the point. I believe there is no need to talk about the development and changes of the Shang Kingdom over the years.

Minister Zhu, according to the questions collected from the people, the question everyone wants to ask the most is: Can democracy and monarchy exist perfectly at the same time? "

Zhu Chongde glanced at Cao Xiulan and was surprised. He didn't expect to ask such a question in the first place. In fact, Zhu Chongde, as a first-rank national official, and to attend the show, knew that the most popular question was not this one.

One of the most asked questions is related to ascension - how sure are we of safe ascension? The question Cao Xiulan asked was not even in the top ten.

But Cao Xiulan brought up this question. First there was silence for three minutes, and then this question was raised again. This is... pushing Zhu Chongde into a corner.

In fact, when this question is asked at this time, there is only one answer - yes!

If Zhu Chongde dares to say no, everyone will be suspicious: Zhu Chongde, do you have an opinion on the virtuous king?

Zhu Chongde was very emotional deep in his heart: I hate women who are smart and understand politics. They can play tricks, which is a side that men can't match. However, on the surface, Zhu Chongde had to answer as soon as possible:

"I think it can exist perfectly."

After talking, don't talk too much; if you talk too much in front of such a smart woman, it is easy to fall into the trap.

Cao Xiulan didn't let it go: "Then, can Minister Zhu explain it? In fact, many people are worried about this!"

Another trap... Zhu Chongde was a little speechless. The underlying meaning of Cao Xiulan's words is: Everyone is looking forward to the coexistence of monarchy and democracy, but everyone is a little worried; now, Zhu Chongde, please dispel everyone's worries!

Zhu Chongde really wanted to shout: Is the agreed host fair and just? This Cao Xiulan is fair and just on the surface, but she is a staunch supporter of the virtuous king's ascension to the throne! The most important thing is that this Cao Xiulan is so smart that she maintains a fair and just attitude on the surface, and her performance is perfect.

Zhu Chongde was not opposed to the enthronement of the virtuous king, but he was kicked out by a little girl, which made Minister Zhu very upset. If you are unhappy, you still have to explain:

"In the past, people believed that the imperial system was a country of one family. Therefore, many unfair things would happen, especially the excessive power of the emperor, which made it difficult to change many things.

However, this is an immature imperial system! No system is static, and no system is without merit.

The biggest advantage of the imperial system is that it can unite the whole country and lead the whole country to overcome difficulties at critical moments.

The biggest advantage of democracy is that it allows the country to develop freely and promote the progress of society and civilization.

But in fact, there is a phenomenon that you may not have noticed, and that is: there has always been no democracy in the army, and the thinking in the army is more inclined to the monarchy. In addition, the management models of many enterprise groups today also continue the imperial system.

In other words, the monarchy has never disappeared, it is still with us.

Similarly, we can also say that the Shang Dynasty itself is a coexistence of democracy and imperialism, but it is just a way of existence that everyone ignores. "

After Zhu Chongde's words fell, the scene soon burst into applause, and then more and more applause, and after a while, the applause was like waves. Everyone has never thought that the imperial system is so close to them.

Cao Xiulan was also a little dazed. Zhu Chongde was really cooperative. After Zhu Chongde's speech, it was officially and completely eliminated the barrier between the monarchy and democracy.

Cao Xiulan continued to ask: "Minister Zhu thinks that if the Shang Kingdom suddenly implements the monarchy, will it be progress or regression?"

This is another problem, a problem of Li Xian's official ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. If one thing is 'backward', then no matter how powerful Li Xian's prestige is, he will still be cast aside by the public. Going backwards is never a good thing.

Everyone focused their eyes on Zhu Chongde again, and Zhu Chongde was also a little dignified. This question can almost be said to be the most critical question for Li Xian to become emperor. If the answer to this question is not good, it can even affect the national security and future of the entire business country.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Chongde finally spoke: "I think that some problems cannot be evaluated simply by progress or regression. Sometimes, it also depends on whether it is appropriate.

In other words, the idea of ​​democracy has existed since ancient times. The earliest ideas of democracy can even be traced back to before the birth of the national system. At that time, everyone chose leaders through joint elections. In contrast, the imperial system developed slowly later.

The reason why the imperial system can develop is because of fierce competition, and everyone needs to hold together to keep warm.

Now that the Shang Kingdom wants to ascend to the fairy world, the environment we are facing is so similar to the past!

Therefore, I believe that Shangguo should keep pace with the times and adopt appropriate policies at any time, so as to ensure the everlasting prosperity of the country. "

After Zhu Chongde's words fell, everyone suddenly thought about it. Yes, the situation is very similar now.

The words of Cao Xiulan and Zhu Chongde almost set the tone for this ideological debate. However, Cao Xiulan is a smart person, of course she knows: Discussions must have opposing sides! Only by letting the opposing side come out and then press down hard can everyone be convinced (kill the chicken and scare the monkey).

Therefore, Cao Xiulan's beautiful eyes turned around, and she soon found a target who needed to be the opponent - a civilian, the head of the mercenary group, Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun and his fire mercenary group had been active in Shang country for a long time; but later, because Wang Zijun's family, the Wang family, joined the Wonsan Alliance, and even led the Wonsan Alliance at one point, the fire mercenary group completely withdrew from the Shang country. Later, the Wonsan Alliance was defeated, and the Shang Kingdom naturally began to liquidate.

But the liquidation belongs to the liquidation, only the culprit can be liquidated, and the rest must be given a way out. Therefore, under the deliberate guidance of the Shang Kingdom, many nobles and old forces in the defeated areas transformed one after another. Mercenary is one of the good transformation methods. At that time, the Agni Mercenary Group appeared again, but everything had to start from scratch.

Now, the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group has grown into a relatively good mercenary group again, and Wang Zijun has become a staunch follower of democratic thought.

Seeing Cao Xiulan, Wang Zijun smiled faintly; however, there was a little loneliness in the depths of his eyes. I am afraid that I am not qualified to pursue such a noble woman. After the failure, he reintegrated into the country of Shang, and has only barely obtained citizenship so far.

Cao Xiulan said: "Commander Wang, I read your article, and you are a staunch supporter of democratic thought. Then, could you please explain your point of view?"

"Of course!" Wang Zijun said, "I think there are two issues that need to be considered.

First, democratic thinking has brought great success to the development of the Shang Dynasty, and there are still no problems, so I think democratic thinking should continue.

Second, changing the system temporarily is like changing generals while the whole country is on the verge of ascension. This move needs to be cautious. "

Cao Xiulan snorted, "Why do I seem to be no longer determined after listening to Commander Wang's words? Captain Wang resolved to support democratic ideas before!"

Wang Zijun's complexion turned dark: "Well, Minister Zhu also said earlier that we must keep pace with the times. I was a little careless before, but now I have figured it out. If the monarchy can be guaranteed, the perfect guarantee will be guaranteed. If a democratic system can solve the problem of changing generals, then I am not against the monarchy."

"Hush..." The audience booed.

What can Wang Zijun do? Faced with a woman who clearly supported the enthronement of the virtuous king, but also a smart woman with great influence, Wang Zijun firmly believed that if he opposed the enthronement of the virtuous king now, he would be labeled a traitor immediately.

"I hate smart women!" Wang Zijun was extremely helpless; the little reputation he had accumulated with great difficulty was lost by more than half; why did he feel cheap in the first place, and insisted on participating in this focus forum. Sure enough, there is no such thing as good or bad, but people call on themselves!

As the representatives of the opposing party succumbed, the focus forum soon made a huge voice: please ascend the throne as a virtuous king.
