Zhang Jian was much lucky than his teacher Weng Tonghe. Emperor Guangxu was under house arrest and Weng Tonghe was driven back to his hometown, but Zhang Jian came to Nanjing first. When Emperor Guangxu was rescued, he was appointed as a third-rank official.

In this negotiation, there was actually no one available to Nanqing and no one recommended himself. In the end, the mission fell on Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian actually didn't want to come. Although he was a literati, he still advocated violently solving the "throne" problem.

He was disdainful of the peace talk in front of him. From it, he clearly saw Long Hao's "strategy".

This alchemy king is really bad!

He prevented the two imperial courts from deciding the victory and defeating quickly, and instead pushed the two emperors to the negotiating table through public opinion... This is telling the world in disguise that both emperors are legal!

Where is this to place Emperor Guangxu?

Is this the Qing Dynasty's country actually split?

This person's heart is punishable!

The longer the conversation is, the more the two emperors ruled across the river, the more they became.

In that case, my Qing Dynasty will actually perish!

...

Zhang Jian got some of Long Hao's thoughts, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

During the peace talks, the only thing he could do was to make unreasonable requests several times, intending to anger Li Hongzhang and mess up the peace talks.

However, after several ups and downs, Li Hongzhang was so cunning and well-educated. In his eyes, Zhang Jian's methods were as naughty as naughty tricks, so they all smiled.

Li Hongzhang's "Tai Chi" was used, which made Zhang Jian's moves look like he hit the cotton candy, and he could not find any opportunity to destroy the peace talks.

I think so, Li Hongzhang participated in many international peace talks and had rich experience. It was definitely not something that Zhang Jian, who was just a little immature, could handle!

The results of the negotiations are naturally not decided in a meeting.

But when Zhang Jian left Kaifeng Prefecture, he knew that the tone could not be changed, that is, Emperor Xuantong and Emperor Guangxu. Under Long Hao's deliberate exaggeration, they were both orthodox and legal emperors.

Or, it is the ‘preparing emperor’!

During the peace talks between the Northern and Southern Qing dynasties, Long Hao held a speech in Kaifeng Prefecture. He said to the general public: "In the world, the development trend of the country is democracy. Whether it is constitutional monarchy or the federal republic, it is inseparable from democracy. 'Two words! I understand democracy this way. Democracy means putting the people first and letting the people be the masters! In my heart, I hope that China will no longer have an emperor. But considering historical reasons, the Qing Dynasty ruled China for 200 years. Everyone has been used to it for many years, so this emperor didn’t say he could just say no. There must be a process! This time, two emperors appeared, one south and one north across the river, I think it was a good opportunity. This opportunity allows us Chinese people to be their homes and make their own decisions together to decide whether the emperor of this country will be Guangxu or Xuantong in the future..."

Long Hao's words clarify one meaning, that is, Guangxu and Xuantong, regardless of age or seniority, must "compete for employment."

There must be a charter for competition, and this charter will be decided in the subsequent "peace talks" meeting.

It was not until June 20 that the charter for "chosen emperor" was calculated.

The Articles of Association stipulate that Greater China is divided into twenty-three voting areas according to its existing layout.

Each voting area corresponds to the original provinces: Zhili, Fengtian, Jilin... Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

The initial voting period is one year according to Long Hao's suggestion.

Of course, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Jian reached an agreement on this point, that is, it is too long!

How can a country as big as China have no emperor for a year?

However, due to Long Hao's strength, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Jian remained consistent again, which was silence.

With their IQ, they have long understood that instead of having the energy to question Long Hao now, it is better to understand the voting rules thoroughly and help their master to be "elected" to the emperor.

In Long Hao's opinion, the one-year term is short.

But it doesn’t matter. According to the charter, one year later, this ‘emperor’ will most likely be in labor, and it will be postponed at that time.

It is a basis for saying that the postponement is the hard and rigid provisions of this election.

The charter was formulated by Long Hao by senior British legal scholars. After the translation, the rules and regulations are as thick as a dictionary!

But if the essence is extracted, the concentrated "election conditions" are as follows.

First, there is a 'big vote' in a voting area. The emperor who won twelve big votes is the new emperor of Greater China;

Second, each large vote must consist of at least 100,000 valid votes.

In other words, in each voting area, there must be no less than 100,000 natural persons participating in the voting, and if any of the emperors get the most votes, then the ‘big votes’ in this voting area will be recorded with his name;

Third and most importantly, there are rigid regulations on effective votes, and it is not possible to vote just by just bringing someone who can breathe.

The owner of a valid ballot must meet at least the following conditions: a living person passes the election examination.

What is an election exam?

What was the test?

Anyway, it is not a essay on the eight-legged essay. Otherwise, the scholars in China would probably not be able to make up 100,000 yuan. Moreover, the "eight-legged essay scholars" with rigid thoughts are not excellent voters.

The test is not difficult. As long as you know 500 Chinese characters and make a set of test papers written by Stanford University in the United States, you will not faint after running five kilometers and you will pass.

This kind of difficulty of passing is easily achieved even in the United States, even if you are in the United States, you can easily pull out someone who can breathe.

Therefore, the drafted charter is reasonable in the view of British legal experts.

But is it really reasonable?

Although Li Hongzhang, who knew the people's livelihood, cursed Long Hao half to death in his heart.

Knowing five hundred Chinese characters? Oh my God, let alone finding 100,000 people in each district, even in the wealthy and many scholars, I am afraid I can't get all of them together, right?

Since we can't get all together, there will be no valid votes, and there will be no valid votes. The "big votes" in each voting area cannot be obtained, so the emperor will naturally be difficult to give birth!

Zhang Jian was not as quick as Li Hongzhang understood this, but after he understood the situation in the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat when facing Emperor Guangxu's questioning.

"Your Majesty, even in a year, this election may not be completed!"

"Why? Isn't the constitution come out? As long as I get twelve large tickets, the throne will be returned to the original owner!"

"But, there are not enough effective votes."

"Well? I have read the regulations and miss my great heavenly dynasty. Every province can't even call out to vote for 100,000 people?"

"It's not difficult to call out 100,000 people, but it's too difficult to call out 100,000 words of recognition!"

Zhang Jian did not obtain the statistical value of China's 99% illiteracy rate, but this did not prevent him from making an accurate judgment on the cultural status of China's population.

Almost at the same time, in Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi also received a report from Li Hongzhang.

She cursed: "Is this going to continue to drag it down? What are the benefits of doing this for Long Hao and Austro-Hungary? Good. Do they want to wait until the Guangxu bastard recruits people and creates a climate before dealing with the Ai family? Li Aiqing

, You have to expose Long Hao’s sinister intentions to the newspaper, go, go now!"

The power of newspapers to guide public opinion is that even Cixi, who lives in the palace, has heard of it now.

Look, the capital city has run several newspapers specifically for Cixi's mouthpieces, but their scale and fame are too small and they have no influence yet.

Compared to Empress Dowager Cixi's complaints, Emperor Guangxu did a good job.

He said to Zhang Jian: "Isn't it a year? I have someone to promulgate the imperial edict that all the people of the Qing Dynasty must read and read, and they must pass the 'dog-giving' exam!"

"Uh, it's the abbreviation of togol., and the lecture on improving the quality of the whole people..."

"Of course I know, but I'll be more kind to bark with the dog."

Not to mention the south and north, how an old woman and a little man understand the "election charter" is around Long Hao. Some people also don't understand this "emperor election" and think that this is Long Hao taking off his pants and farting,

One more effort!

There are definitely not many people in the world who dare to speak out to Long Hao, and there is one person on the land of China: Princess Ai Shili.

"Hao, the Qing court has no soldiers anymore. You and I will join forces to directly depose the two useless emperors. Wouldn't it be better for you to be the new emperor? What kind of election is it? Do you want to watch the two emperors play monkey plays?

”

Ai Shili was very confused. Long Hao had all the internal and external conditions for his desire to be an emperor. The Qing Dynasty was corrupt and the great powers were empty. Is such a good opportunity a waste?

"It's natural that I'm not going to be an emperor, but in this era, it's not the best choice!"

Long Hao hugged Ai Shili, who was in a tiny strand and had no trace of fat on her body, and replied with a smile while raising her hands.

What is China's "time environment"?

Small peasant economy, illiteracy for all people, corruption of officials, poverty for the people...

Although land and population rank among the forefront of the world, these precious resources did not bring benefits to the Chinese nation, but instead became a heavy burden.

Suppose Long Hao used force to abolish Guangxu and Xuantong, then killed Empress Dowager Cixi, and tore up all the unequal treaties signed by the Qing government. There is no danger in doing so, but... it is not beneficial.

There are even some disadvantages, troublesome.

After all, the Qing court was still orthodox, and in the eyes of foolish women and fools, there was still a sky above their heads. If you want to change the "Heaven", the turmoil below is inevitable.

Due to the lack of grassroots managers, such social unrest will inevitably bring disasters and pain to the people, which Long Hao does not want to see.

Killing Cixi, who harmed the country and the people and tearing up unequal treaties will certainly win reputation and make the whole people applaud, but she made at least two mistakes.

First, it hurts the spirit of the contract and starts badly. Questioning integrity will have an impact on Long Hao's foundation of "integrity business";

Second, he took the blame for Manqing, and whoever signed the contract would have to be responsible to the end. Long Hao did this undoubtedly wiped his butt for Manqing and was covered in stinking.

It is precisely based on the above considerations that Long Hao made a plan to let the two emperors "fight the stage".

The Qing Dynasty must have withdrawn from the historical stage, but now, the use of waste is the king.

I don’t expect you to clean up the mess in China, but it is absolutely impossible to leave easily with your butt and flee outside the barrier with the plundered people’s money and paste to enjoy the happiness abroad.
