Cha Yuanhong refused to help. Zhou Xuexi was surprised. As a 2-century official, he knew very well what kind of person Li Yuanhong was. In his opinion, although Li Yuanhong occupies a high position in the government, in terms of his talent, this person is just a mediocre person who goes with the flow. If Zhao Bei had not supported him, his Li family would be nothing now. As for the "business genius." It was even more a joke. Without the identity of the Speaker of the Senate, he might not even be able to run a grocery store.

However, as a postman and lobbyist sent by Zhang Liao, Zhou Xuexi still played his role very well. After Li Yuanhong refused Vice President Zhang's entrustment, Zhou Xuexi smiled faintly and said something.

"Speaker Li said it well, judicial independence. This is the requirement of the constitutional system. However, since ancient times, our country's laws have paid attention to "nature, national laws, and human feelings". Now our country has established a constitutional system. We should not rashly copy foreign laws. Therefore, in Zhou's view, this "human feelings should be discussed, special circumstances, and special handling. Before I came, the vice president said that the case of his fellow townsman has not been transferred to the court. If it is handled in the local area, it can be handled at its discretion, so it will not be the case with the jail. Besides, since that person is willing to accept the punishment and hand over half of the land. This can already play a role in deterring the small group of people. Why force people to a dead end? In addition, when the person divided the land, he certainly had the intention of stealing the land tax. However, it may not be the kindness of the Zhou Ji people. The local land rent has been reduced by almost 20%.

"Brother Zhou, your words seem to make sense, but they are fallacies. Our country's laws are too far behind. Naturally, we should chase them. "The law of nature, national law, human feelings. This statement itself has problems. What is the law of nature? What is human feelings? That is all rule of man, not rule of law. Now that we are promoting the rule of law, it is naturally not easy to break our promises and become fat. Besides, the president has been emphasizing that "law is everything" and "law has no human feelings" in recent years. You often go to the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, you also understand this truth."

Li Yuanhong seriously refuted Zhou Xuexi's fallacies, but to be honest, he didn't catch a cold about this. "The law has no humanity." But since the president said that, he would just shout. If the president's wife violated the law, or the president's brother-in-law broke the law, Li Yuanhong did not believe that the president would really sit idly by. Chinese people have been doing this for thousands of years, and they would not change the operating rules of this society because of a few slogans.

Of course, Zhou Xuexi would not really be so scheming with Li Yuanhong. Since the other party was firm in his attitude, he ended his role in time, and then he turned to another topic, and this topic was the real intention of Zhang Liao sending him over.

"Speaker Li, since you are powerless, you can only give up this matter. However, there is another matter that I don't know if you should ask.

After the beginning of autumn this year, the presidential election and congressional election will be held. At present, several independent candidates have submitted applications for election, and Congress is reviewing it. According to the constitution, this review period has been until the beginning of autumn, but now, why has the president not yet applied for election? The United Front does not seem to have proposed a presidential candidate."

Li Yuanhong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhou, you are asking me. To be honest, I have asked the president about this matter, but the president just said "Wait and see." Since the president himself doesn't worry, why should we interfere with it?

Zhou Xuexi said in surprise: "The president doesn't worry about it himself? Where should we start? Is the president not planning to be re-elected? Now the prestige of the president is unattainable. If he announces to participate in the next presidential election, the re-election may be very likely. Now our country has established a republican system. Unlike in the past, the emperor has been doing it for decades, and the current term of office is five years. The continuity of this central policy is very important. Now our country's industry and commerce are developing rapidly, which is closely related to the president's diligence and talent. At this time, if someone else is the president, who can guarantee that the country can maintain stable development?"

Li Yuanhong was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to answer like this. Zhou Xuexi is Zhang Liao's close friend and an important member of the National League. This person has always had serious differences with the United Front and is even more silly against President Zhao. Such a person was stuffed into the Ministry of Industry and Commerce as the deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for the needs of balance and to unite the wealthy men in the Junxian faction. Zhou Xuexi is very clear about this. So he would not be grateful to the United Front. But now, after hearing what he said, he actually hoped that the president would be re-elected again. This is a bit strange.

"Brother Zhou, I think you are right. If the president announces his participation in the next presidential election, will you support it?

Out of caution, Li Yuanhong asked. See what the other party was going to do. He had been fighting openly and secretly with the National League in Parliament for almost five years. He knew very well who the other party was. As a somewhat self-aware politician, he understood that if the president had not supported him and Tang Hualong, the two "presidential lackeys" would have been out of here. How could they last until now? Now Li Yuanhong is confidently planning to participate in the next MP election, and he doesn't want to step into any trap at this time. And considering that the backer cannot be reached, if the other party really plans to set up a trap. If the President and the United Front are in trouble, he needs to test the other party's firepower first.

"That's natural. I'm convinced about the president now. In the past, I did see the president, thinking that he was too young, had no experience, and was too reckless in foreign policy. But now, I admire him very much. If Zhao Zhenhua announces his participation in this presidential election, I will definitely vote for him.

Zhou Xuexi sincerely revealed his position. However, at the same time, he also handled the wording carefully. In fact, Zhao Bei has been slow to submit a presidential election application form to Congress. This move completely disrupted the response plan originally formulated by the National League. According to the National League plan, if Zhao Bei announces his election, they will voluntarily withdraw from the presidential election and focus their main firepower on the election of members of Congress, because they know that no matter how hard they try, their prestige is far inferior to Zhao Bei. Although some of the proprietors have opinions about the president due to the "National Land Investigation Case", this cannot change the most basic force.

In comparison, it is better to occupy Congress than to compete for the position of president. At least in the competition for members of Congress, the National League is not necessarily worse than the United Front. Moreover, since the United Front has been rectifying the internal division of power since the previous year, there has been obvious power division among members of Congress. Several small parties are now planning to form a big party. Once the integration of power is completed, then the Complete Continental Union in Congress will stage a good show of the Romance of the Two Nations. The people and the people will definitely be able to understand the situation in troubled waters. The strength may not be impossible to have a majority of parliament seats. As long as the Congress is occupied, even if they cannot confront the president head-on, it can at least change the current weak situation.

But now, Zhao Bei has not submitted a presidential election application form to Congress, which makes the members of the National League a little confused. If Zhao Bei does not want to participate in the presidential election, the National League seems to be able to elect one of its own candidates. If he is successfully elected at that time, then the National League can not only occupy the Congress, but also occupy the presidential palace. In this way, the world will be the world of the National League.

However, considering Zhao Bei's style of work, the National League was not so naive. Zhang Sai, Zhou Xuexi and others unanimously agreed that the reason why Zhao Bei did not express his position for a long time was probably nothing to do with "humility". They believed that this might be because Zhao Bei was using some political tricks, some open conspiracy and conspiracy. Experience told them that the more they were at this time, the more they had to remain calm. If a wrong step was taken, they would regret it in the future. This is a lesson from the past. At the beginning, Xu Shichang replaced Yuan Shikai as President of the Republic of China. Zhao Bei also supported it at the beginning, but the later events were completely beyond everyone's expectations. Through a well-planned congressional impeachment case, Zhao Bei easily drove Xu Shichang off the stage. Then, the revolutionary vanguard made a public debut without hesitation and mastered the supreme power granted by the Constitution.

Now, many small parties have been divided into the United Front. The inside story of the "President Impeachment Case" back then has been gradually revealed. Although there is no direct evidence to the president himself, Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong cannot escape, and these two people have always been regarded as "presidential lackeys." In this way, President Xu Shichang and Xu were plotted against by President Zhao's open conspiracy.

When fighting with such a person, Zhang Liao and Zhou Xuexi must be cautious at every step. They cannot afford to bear any conspiracy. They are all literati. At most, they can play with the president and they cannot afford to play with the conspiracy and have no capital to play.

In this way, the National League did not dare to nominate their presidential candidates easily. Although there are a few "independent candidates" who are ungrateful and ruthless, they have jumped out to compete with the president, but in the eyes of most citizens, those are just green leaves that are foiling red flowers. If they really want to compete for the presidential throne, those few are obviously not qualified.

But as the deadline for Congress to review the presidential candidate list is getting closer, the National League is very anxious. Zhou Xuexi was determined to immediately elect the candidates of his party, but Zhang Liao refused because he felt something was wrong here.

What's wrong? Isn't Vice President Zhang timid? Now it's not like in the past. Before, Zhang Liao's family's industry is not big, but just a few imitation weaving factories and flour mills. But now? After the industrial exhibition of these four, the Zhang family's industry is so large that it is amazing. Not to mention movable property, the real estate alone can stand out in the whole country. Imitation weaving factories, flour mills, steel mills, oil presses, coal mines, farms, ship transport companies, the scale of these enterprises may not be as large as that of foreign enterprises, but in China it is already considered a large enterprise. Such wealth cannot be brought to the concession at will, so Vice President Zhang will of course be timid.

Therefore, in Zhou Xuexi's view, Zhang Sai is becoming more and more "compromising". As long as Zhao Bei does not touch his interests, he will not provoke Zhao Bei on his own initiative. Since last year, the National League has been very "steady" in Congress. This is not unrelated to Vice President Zhang's compromise mentality. After all, people live in reality. For rich people, this reality is to avoid the entire family being destroyed due to personal irresponsible behavior.

However, Zhou Xuexi was not good at slandering Zhang Hai's compromise, because he now had the same mentality. Although there were regulations that restrict the scope of government officials' business operations, his family industry was growing rapidly. Many factories and mines were labeled as Zhou. It was not so easy to tear it off quickly. If you break up with Zhao Bei, these real estates could not be brought to the concession and foreign countries, so you can only afford Zhao Bei. In this regard, President Zhao was very experienced. At that time, the "Beiyang God of Wealth" Sheng Xuanhuai collapsed. The Sheng family, which had been prosperous for decades, declined and was in a slump. Moreover, many members of the family had to go far away, but no one could find a reason to accuse President Zhao. After all, the reasons were very sufficient and open.

In the National League today, there are many members with a mentality like Zhang Wu and Zhou Xuexi. They are all rich and rich. They cannot leave everything behind like those gangs of people to Liangshan. "Balds rely on hard work to eat." Unfortunately, they are not singles, so they have to take a defensive position against the strong president.

This mentality also determines. These people are powerless in the face of the president's open conspiracy and conspiracy. If they have no allies, they are simply fish on the president's chopping board.

Zhou Xuexi's words really surprised Li Yuanhong. When he heard that Zhou Xuexi was about to vote for the president, he couldn't help but panting.

"Brother Zhou, you are really a wise man. That's right, if the president participates in the next presidential election, he will definitely be able to be re-elected. However, in my opinion, the reason why the president has not made his position for a long time may be somewhat American in line with the situation in the south."

"The situation in the south? Speaker Li refers to the "lifelong presidential system that Yang Zhezi and his group are advocating?"

Zhou Xuexi asked expressionlessly, but his heart was terrified. Now even Li Yuanhong was concerned about the ups and downs of Yang Du and his group. This seemed to indicate that a social public opinion was forming. If all this came out of the Ce Ge from President Zhao! Then, his scheming was too deep, and his steps seemed to be too fast.

This may be the legendary "Sima Zhao's Heart".

But is this really out of Zhao Bei's personal planning? Isn't he born in the revolutionary party? At that time, if he really became a "lifelong president", how can he explain to the people, especially those comrades from the revolutionary party?
