2177 Fight without breaking
Zai Chun was stunned by the other party's words. If he thought about it carefully, he would make such a truth. The Qing court often was unreasonable. If any important minister's proposal was brought out, there would definitely be no such thing as tit-for-tat with all his opponents.
Many of them are ambiguous words. You need to guess carefully when clouds and mountains are surrounded by mist, and the emperor cannot always say anything. He often observes patiently and then discusses it.
The real fight is to fight privately, and the forces of both sides compete with each other, but on the surface you are watching, they all smiled, and they all died in private, and they still have to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.
Emperor Tongzhi thought about it. If he came to the British Parliament in the Yangxin Hall or the Supreme Harmony Hall, the government would probably collapse at that time. The attacked officials felt embarrassed and they would definitely fight back at all costs.
"Don't you really feel humiliated? You don't care if you are questioned one after another and even swear words?" Zai Chun asked.
The young councillor smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, if you have time, you should go to Hyde Park to visit. Whenever there are people gathering on weekends, get a wooden box and stand on it, and start expressing some of his own opinions..."
"Maybe it is foreign policy, maybe it is naval development, maybe it is investment in technology, including the government's investment plans for municipal governments, they all have their own opinions..."
"The speech always attracts a lot of people to watch. Whenever there is disagreement, the audience will stand up to debate with him. Sometimes this kind of folk debate is very irrelevant..."
"We have all had this experience. To be honest, this mentality of not having anything to do with doubts and attacks was also trained since childhood. After all, people cannot satisfy everyone!"
Zai Chun nodded, "I understand a little bit, that is to say, everyone doesn't care about face anymore, so the concept of face no longer exists!"
"Since everyone has scolded and attacked others, then when he is abused and attacked by others, he will be able to see it openly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, everyone is like this, so there is nothing wrong with it, and no one will laugh at anyone! I am now questioned by others and have been knocked off the podium. I will go to the tavern for a drink later. Maybe the one who chats and laughs with me is the one who scolds me the most fierce one!"
"Who can laugh at whom? Has anyone ever given such a salute?"
"But in this way, the debate trend in the court has increased greatly. It's okay to say that things are not in a hurry when encountering small matters. What if there are major military and national affairs? If there are urgent matters, will you still have to wait for you to debate?"
"Over the power is dispersed, it will definitely cause chaos. For example, war, such as a matter that requires unity across the country, how can you ensure that the people's hearts are united?"
Zai Chun asked about the idea, and the Chinese officers around him also pricked up their ears and sounded carefully.
The young MP received many support and encouragement eyes from his seniors. He smiled and put down the folder in his hand. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that our national system is constitutional monarchy? The country has the last person in charge, and that is the monarch!"
"The Prime Minister has been revolving one after another, but the royal family remains unchanged. The royal family is the last person in charge of the country!"
"When the empire encounters some major crises and when the prime minister makes serious political mistakes, the royal family will stand up and unite people as soon as possible!"
"Although we fight every day, we are also seeking the balance point where we fight without breaking it!"
Zai Chun nodded, and had a faint enlightenment in his heart. Many things are not deeply experienced by others just because they say they have no deep understanding. You can only see them in person.
At this time, Xiao Letian, who had been observing silently, suddenly spoke. He had to point out at the most critical moment when everyone's thoughts changed to avoid everyone's lost path.
"What is a fight? What is the purpose of the struggle in the court? You must be clear that the essence of struggle is not who defeats, who enslaves, and who kills. This is not the purpose of struggle..."
"The essence of struggle is to obtain a plan that can be accepted and implemented by all parties!"
"Do you still remember the essence of the negotiation I mentioned? The purpose of the negotiation is not to force the other party to death, or to eat all the benefits. The essence of the negotiation is to come up with an agreement that both parties or multiple parties are willing to carry out, but they are willing to implement it!"
"The essence of the court struggle is also the same. Through fighting without breaking it, the policies that are formed will be easier to promote, rather than being violated everywhere in implementation!"
Xiao Letian's words were immediately recognized by the British MPs present. Gladstone was the first to applaud, "It's very exquisite, yes, the head of state, you summarized it very exquisitely, you expressed the core of the parliamentary system in very shallow language..."
"It seems that you have mastered the core secrets. I am very interested in the Chinese parliament. I really hope to have the opportunity to visit..."
Amid the warm applause, Xiao Letian nodded with a smile, "The door of the Chinese people is open, and the exchange of civilization is continuous. Being self-proclaimed is not what the Chinese people are like! Give me some time, and I will give this world a brand new Chinese look!"
At this point, the parliamentary visit ended successfully, and the first day of diplomatic visit finally came to an end. Except for the people from the Benjamin faction, all other officials and even members of the royal family were infected by the charm of the Eastern Head of State.
That night, the banquet hall at Buckingham Palace held a traditional dinner. The lights were brightly lit, the dance music was graceful, and the food flashed in front of people like flowing water.
At this time, no one was foolish and directly opposed Xiao Letian. Even the Tsarist Russian envoy who returned from "sobering" was just drinking and eating vegetables in silence.
But this was just a brief calm before the storm. Xiao Letian could feel that his enemy was accumulating strength to prepare for counterattack.
Since you come, you will be at ease! Xiao Letian will not be afraid of them, just fight against each other when you see a move!
After the banquet, there was a grand dance party, and it was the home court for the women, including noble princesses and ladies in the British royal family, as well as wives and daughters brought by envoys from various countries.
This is a place for female creatures to show their charm. The sound of music suddenly came to the face.
When it comes to such an occasion, one can see the difference. Only Xiang Ying and others who have studied in the Chinese can control such scenes. After one dance after another, their dance partners have changed one by one.
The first generation of Chinese leaders stood aside and drank awkwardly. Even if there was a beautiful woman invited, they could only wave their hands to beg for mercy.
Looking at the awkward expressions of the Chinese generals, the women all smiled!
Look, you men are still trying to get into trouble in front of Chinese guests during the day, but at night we women won a game back.
Of course, Xiao Letian would not care about the small scenes of dancing. He also politely invited Prince Edward's wife and several other beauties to dance together.
