Aspiration

Chapter 239 extraordinary times
Li Yan gave Zhang Youcai a very attractive lesson, which made Zhang Youcai's mouth water.What he meant was that when the imperial system was restored, Zhang Xianzhong was listed as one of the three princes. He was appointed as a vassal king and guarded the Southwest. Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan were used as fiefdoms. Except for diplomacy, others were not subject to the restraint of the central government. Zhang Xianzhong's descendants were in the central government. He also holds other important positions. For example, Zhang Kewang and Zhao Wenxiu’s current positions remain the same, and they are also the objects of being crowned kings and marquises. He is still considering that the United States established by Zhao Wenxiu in America can be used as a vassal state of the Great Chinese Empire, following the example of the past dynasties. North Korea is a state system that only pays tribute to the central government, while others exercise the functions and powers of an independent sovereign state.

Speaking of this, Zhang Youcai suddenly proposed that if Annan, Myanmar and other regions were made their vassal lands, they could fully support Li Yan's plan.

Li Yan was taken aback. Zhang Xianzhong controlled Annan and other places?The Strait of Malacca is under their control.He proposed to use Annan as a vassal state, and his intention is obvious, that is, one day in the future, the central government of Dolly can become an independent king.This is much more affordable and safer than ruling Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan.

However, Li Yan knew that the Strait of Malacca was too important. Once it was controlled by Zhang Xianzhong, it would be a great loss to the country in the future.However, Li Yan, who was greedy for profit, thought about it for a long time, and then replied, yes!

In Li Yan's short period of two months, the northern territory was given to a man named Su Qin, the southern territory was given to Zhang Xianzhong, and the American territory was given to Zhang Wenxiu. He also planned to let Wang Hu stay in Japan and let him rule Japan.In this way, the Great China Empire has a false name and has returned to the original point.Li Yan thinks there is a reason for him to do this. A country is too big to be effectively controlled. The reason why the Zhou Dynasty has a history of 800 years is that it established many vassal states. What it does now is actually the establishment of vassal states, but bigger vassal states country.

Of course, this is just deception. The real reason is very simple, that is, to realize his personal goal, to be the emperor of China.

After several months of preparation, and without any news from Li Laiheng, Li Yan's plan to change the national system is about to be implemented.

He prepares public opinion first.

Jianghuai literati Du Yue wrote: "National Constitution", he tried his best to sing praises for the monarchy in his memorial, saying that since ancient times, God has ruled the people through his envoys, so it is said that the leaders of the country are ordered by heaven, not by the people.For example, in the West there is Jesus and God, in Arabia there is Allah, and in the East there are gods. These are the rulers of the heavens. Of course, the world must be ruled by the envoys of heaven to enjoy peace and prosperity.He opposed voting, saying that it was the root of the turmoil. Just imagine, everyone has the opportunity to be the prime minister, and that would not be a bloody one.In the past, brothers with the same family name still killed each other, but now the whole world has the opportunity to be the supreme ruler. It would be strange that there would be no bloodshed.

Li Yan printed and distributed Du Yue's "National Constitution" to the ministers for discussion.

Shandong literati Zhang Xun wrote: "Great China should be based on Confucianism". In his memorial, he advocated the idea of ​​Confucius and the second child, the idea of ​​the order of the elders and children of the monarch, the minister, the minister, the father, and the son.Li Yan said that in a free country, there is freedom of speech.He also issued it to all ministers for discussion.

Lingnan scholar Fu Jun wrote: "On the Monarchy".In his memorial, he advocated the superiority of the monarchy, resolutely opposed freedom and democracy, and opposed the constitutional monarchy. He strongly criticized the current republic.After reading the memorial in the hall, Li Yan was furious, saying that Fu Jun was subverting the country and should be put in prison.But soon he said that a free country has freedom of speech, so he ordered tens of thousands of copies to be printed and distributed for ministers and ministers to discuss.

All of a sudden, there were discussions all over the country, some were in favor of the current democratic system, and some were talking about restoring the monarchy.Soon the talk turned into an argument, the argument turned into a fight, and the fight turned into a fight.Soon, a vigorous national sports debate of "civilian attack and military defense" began all over the country.

Because of the bloodshed, the military intervened, followed by curfews, and martial law.

However, the debate did not stop because of the curfew and martial law. Bloody incidents also occurred from time to time. The most famous one was a big discussion in front of the Confucian Temple in Shandong. In the end, the investigation found that the pit was deliberately set by the democrats, which triggered a nationwide parade to protest the bloody violence of the democrats.

The ministers said that the murderer should be severely punished.

Li Yan said that democratic politics should allow everyone to be fully democratic, and it is not easy for the government to intervene.The ministers all came forward one after another, saying that it is important to put an end to the chaos, and human lives are important, so what else can you worry about at this time?
As a last resort, Li Yan declared that the country had entered an "extraordinary period" and imposed military control.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of rebels were arrested, and the country was paralyzed for a while.

Li Laiheng and Lu Qin sat opposite each other.

"Admiration, the designed trap is very careful." Li Laiheng said.

"Yes. Li Yan is truly a man of great talent. He set off a bloody storm all over the country. He strolled around the courtyard and watched from the sidelines. He will soon be the emperor." Lu Qin's face also became serious.Although Li Yan's steps did not surprise them, the struggle was expensive and many people lost their lives.

"Lao Jiu has been in Moscow for half a month. Tell me, what are his chances of success?"

Lu Qin said, "There is a [-]% certainty. Lao Jiu is very resilient. Although this trip is very risky, he has a characteristic. If he is not sure, he will not come up with this idea rashly."

The so-called "this idea" was proposed by Lao Jiu half a month ago. He went to Luocha Kingdom to instigate rebellion against Su Qin and others, and then led the troops eastward to overthrow Li Yan's new empire.
