The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 227 Zhang Yang

"Your Majesty..."

Put down the work at hand and think of the conversation with Your Majesty a few days ago. Zhang Feng has firmly established his original idea in his heart. Perhaps His Majesty is an elected emperor, but just like any person, once he ascends to the supreme throne, he will naturally be eager to truly have the supremacy. The imperial power.

The Constitution is established in the form of a constitution to ensure the supremacy of imperial power. In Zhang Feng's view, this is inevitable and also necessary. Although your majesty's power comes from the people, but... in any case, the emperor is still the emperor.

"Who should be asked to lead this?"

After talking to His Majesty, Zhang Feng once thought about everyone in his heart, but in the end, he chose Yang Du. Yang Xizi has always been the saying of the emperor's constitution, and he has studied the study of the emperor for many years. At the same time, he is also one of the leaders of the constitutionalists. The social reputation is very high, and that person is a usable. Is it a good choice?

"Yang Du, Yang Xizi..."

When I was in my imagination, a clerk knocked on the door and reported.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Yang is here."

"Please invite him in!"

With that, Zhang Feng got up and walked to the living room outside the office door.

"Thank you for your hard work all the way!"

At the sight of Yang Du, Zhang Feng greeted Yang Du into the living room. Like every imperial cabinet minister, the living room of the minister of justice does not show any magnified color. On the contrary, the black and white decoration and home can even make people feel an artistic conception. The Ministry of Justice is a black-and-white institution.

Sitting on the wide black cowhide sofa, Yang Du said quickly.

"I'm so sorry to ask Maoyang to send a special car to pick me up."

Although he is the vice president of the Consultative House, he is still cautious in front of Zhang Feng, the "Minister of Real Power". He clearly knows that he has a "handle" in his hands. The Imperial Investigation Bureau is ordered by the Ministry of Justice. In the cabinet, the status of the Ministry of Justice is even higher than that of the Ministry of the Army and Navy and Finance. It can be said without hesitation that the Ministry of Justice is the first power of the empire.

"Mr. Xizi is the vice president of the Consultative House. He takes the president's respect as the provincial crossbow and does not deserve a special car. He is really a model for me!"

Zhang Feng smiled and said that before the war last year, Yang Du, as the vice president of the Consultative Council, first returned to the special car, saying that he wanted to save the national crossbow for the country to prepare for the war, but in fact, Zhang Feng understood that it was just Yang Xizi's lonely reputation.

"Mr. Maoyang praised it!"

You are polite to the two of you. After he was polite for a while, Zhang Feng began to get to the point.

"Do you know?"

Zhang Feng sat opposite Yang Du and said in a well-earned tone.

"Now, China may not be leading in other industrial products, but it is leading the world in the automobile industry. When I visited European and American countries, I have seen many European and American politicians use Tianma cars produced in China, but in foreign countries, they like to call Tianma a Mustang, but this is not a derogatory term, but it is actually called me The national Tianma carriage can travel on all kinds of terrain like a wild horse. It can be said that cars are the pride of China's industry! Even the German Emperor uses Tianma Automobile!"

"It's the same. The Tianma car is beautiful, fast, and smooth. It's a really good car."

Yang Du said with quite agree. There are many cars in Nanjing. There are more than a dozen models of Tianma cars alone. For all kinds of cars, Yang Du has his own seating experience. When Zhang Feng got up to get the cigar, Yang Du asked softly.

"Maoyang, you are the head of the inspection team. I don't know, what's your experience about the last foreign expedition? I have always wanted to read Mao Yang's masterpiece, but it's a pity..."

The delegation to various countries returned to China at the beginning of last year, but unlike those members who wrote books and commented on the politics of various countries after returning to China, Zhang Feng, as the head of the delegation, did not write any articles or books at all, while Yang Du very much hoped to clarify the views of the important minister of the empire on the politics of various countries. .

To interrupt Yang Du's words, Zhang Feng spread out his hands casually and said with a smile.

"I, as the head of the investigation group, should write a book or article, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the political regimes of various countries, and then put forward my views, but..."

With a smile, Zhang Feng said helplessly.

"But because of your majesty's trust, I was entrusted with the position of head of the regiment. This position requires me to take a neutral position to show my innocence. After returning to China, I was instructed by Your Majesty to write a "Examination of the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Political dy of the Countries", but it was only submitted to Your Majesty. That's all. I think about it, I'm afraid I can only wait for him to withdraw from the political arena. Only then can I ask Your Majesty to return the original manuscript.

"Well, Maoyang must be cautious. This may be the reason why Your Majesty trusts you!"

After taking the cigar handed over by Zhang Feng, Yang Du picked up the cigar and smoked it.

"But I should have a lot of experience when I want to visit Maoyang last time. I don't know if Maoyang can teach me one or two today?"

"Hmm..."

Seeing that Yang Du asked himself to "give advice", Zhang Feng would not refuse his kindness, so he said.

"If it's the country with the most experience in the investigation this time, I'm afraid it's Germany!"

"Germany!"

"Yes, it's Germany!"

He spewed out a puff of smoke. Zhang Feng pointed to the affirmation of cigars, and the living room was filled with a strong smell of smoke. Then he said what he had seen in Germany and said something important for an hour, and the listener was full of interest.

"Syson, I think the best of Germany is its national body."

Zhang Feng deliberately introduced the conversation to the topic. Although he knew that he had Yang Du's weakness in his hands, he never disdained such things as "blackmailing others". In his opinion, the best way is to persuade them, at least... give them a reason.

"... Judging from human achievements alone, then Prussia is an extraordinary initiative, a country built by small management, and a victory in exchange for hard work and serious responsibility. The most typical example is that William I was the head of the country from 1713 to 1740. He is a realistic and vulgar person. He despised everything with a "cultural" atmosphere, and his father and grandfather were also the Elector), and his son, well, Friedrich the Great, were very concerned about it. He is very stingy about every penny he doesn't spend on the army. He cut royal expenses by three-quarters. He spent 2,547 silver coins on his journey to Königsberg for the coronation ceremony, and his father once spent 5 million silver coins on it. He ruled the country in a German father-like way, supervising the country like a private fief, often sneaking in the streets and alleys of Berlin in a shabby uniform and punishing the citizens who neglected their duties with their canes. He works all day and wants everyone to do the same. He loves the army, and all the policies he has formulated are to serve the army..."

When mentioning Germany, Zhang Feng quietly introduced China.

"In fact, at this point, we are similar to Germany. Take Your Majesty as an example. Since the restoration of light, our investment in military spending is far greater than anything else, because we understand that without a strong military force, what will we will face..."

Zhang Feng said there, while Yang Du listened. While listening, he just listened attentively without expressing any opinions.

"... Although the current German Emperor Wilhelm II is the nominal emperor of the four major states of the German Empire, he has supreme power, and all his subjects listen to him. Under his leadership, the country is united as one and at the same pace, and truly achieves invincible and invincible. Personally, this is what I admire most about Germany.

Yang Du nodded affirmatively and said.

"For now, the most successful monarchy in the world is Japan in the East and Germany in the West. I saw it with my own eyes. Although I didn't go to Germany, after listening to your introduction, I knew that it was true. Their successful experience is worth learning from the world, and it is also worth emulation.

"After the mission entered Germany, I had many contacts with the German political, military and financial industries. Now Germany, after decades of development, has long been unwilling to dominate the world by Britain. Both the people and the military have the desire to expand. It can be said that Germany has challenges now. The power of Britain.

At this time, when Zhang Feng said this, his whole body looked flying, and his eyes were shining brightly.

China has always admired Germany's military power, and now after the alliance between the two countries, it has launched all-round political, economic, industrial and military cooperation. As the Minister of Justice, Zhang Feng has been very proficient in German literature during his visit to Germany. Now he can do without translating with the Ministry of Justice. Talk to the German consultant.

"It seems that Germany has the ambition to dominate the whole of Europe."

Yang Du has always worshipped heroes. Emperor Meiji and Wilhelm I of Germany have a high status in his mind. Of course, to some extent, he also believes that His Majesty is also a hero.

Although on the surface, as a constitutionalist expert, in his heart, he agrees more with the opening [***] than the British constitutional amendment, and now the reason why he supports the constitutional amendment is more from a kind of... "Xizi!"

With a smile, Zhang Feng asked back.

"If there is no supreme power of the German emperor, then from the perspective of Mr. Xizi's high talent, I don't know that Germany has the heart to be a hero of Europe today, and how can it have the power to be a hero?"

"Oh!"

After hearing this sentence, Yang Du couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Zhang Feng and thought about what he meant in his words. Why did he ask such a question? Why... At this time, Zhang Feng stood up and paced in the room. He saw from the change of Yang Du's expression that he knew that the famous Junxian expert had begun to think about it.

"I don't know what Shizi thinks about the "impeding the Constitution"!"

Constitution!

Yang Du suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Feng in front of him in surprise. Could it be...
