Lin Yuan said: "Ivan the Terrible was the first tsar of Russia. He was called the 'Thunder Emperor' because he was violent by nature, just like a thunderbolt. He was once beaten to death with a cane for a trivial matter. His own prince; Louis XIV is a famous monarch of the French Bourbon dynasty, during his reign, France was powerful, but this monarch is also known for his extravagance."

"As for Gao Wei, Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, you may not be familiar with it, but if I mention a person in history, you may know that this person is Feng Xiaolian."

Lin Xuezhi immediately exclaimed after hearing Lin Yuan's words: "Wow, Feng Xiaolian! I've heard of it, she is a famous beauty in history!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, Feng Xiaolian is the concubine of Gao Wei, the Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty. "Into Jinyang" describes Gao Wei, the army of the Zhou Dynasty has entered Jinyang, an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Gao Wei is still playing with Feng Xiaolian."

Shen Wanqing said: "What do these three emperors have in common? Why do the Japanese let Mr. Li see these three people?"

Lin Yuan said: "If we talk about the common points, one of these three emperors is tyrannical, one is extravagant, and the other is greedy. These three crimes are almost shared by foolish emperors!"

Lin Xuezhi's eyes lit up, and said: "I see, they must want to say that brother is a fool!"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "I don't own any of these three, tyranny, extravagance, and lust. How can they say I'm a fool?"

Lin Xuezhi's eyes suddenly became more charming, and she said in a coquettish voice, "Brother can take the last one! I'll be the first to sign up!"

Lin Yuan sighed, and said, "Xuezhi, you seduced me again, even in front of your sister-in-law..."

Shen Wanqing also smiled helplessly, at this moment Lin Yuan suddenly said: "I seem to have thought of something." Both Shen Wanqing and Lin Xuezhi looked at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan said: "These three are kings, Now there is also a king who has a close relationship with us, will the matter come from him?"

Shen Wanqing immediately said: "You mean Ryukyu King Shang Tai? Could it be that the Japanese will start trouble in Ryukyu?"

Lin Yuan said: "There is already dissatisfaction with the king in Ryukyu. The Japanese are likely to provoke the people of Ryukyu and launch a coup against King Shangtai. What should we do at that time? Shangtai is our ally, we must support it, but we support Shangtai If we oppose the people, it will not only have a bad influence on us internationally, but also affect our domestic stability."

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Recently, the Ryukyu intelligence department has not discovered any Japanese secret activities."

Lin Yuan said: "We have to be on guard, so let's go back to the office quickly, and I will call Shangtai, the king of Ryukyu, personally." The two of them went back to Zhongnanhai's office, Lin Xuezhi also followed, and Lin Yuan took him with him. When she saw Liu Yufeng, Lin Xuezhi smiled and said, "Here I am again, catch me quickly!"

Lin Yuan asked Shen Wanqing to accompany Lin Xuezhi around, and then went to the communication room to have a video call with Ryukyu King Shang Tai, who soon appeared on the screen. Lin Yuan did not directly express his guess, but He smiled and said, "Old Mr. Shang Tai, you should withdraw your troops from Japan."

Because Shangtai won the battle, his tone was full of excitement: "Of course, we can withdraw our troops if we win the Japanese." In fact, there is no economic reason for the Ryukyu Kingdom to send troops to Japan. The citizens just wanted to express their anger at being occupied by Japan. When the war started, they thought that the Ryukyu National Defense Forces should be comparable in combat effectiveness to Lin Yuan's troops, but only after fighting did they realize that the difference was too far!Only then did the country have voices against the war and against the monarchy.Now that the battle has been won, the troops can be withdrawn.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Shang Tai, is it interesting to be a king?"

King Shangtai on the screen hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Xiao Lin, you are my own, and I will not hide anything from you. Although being a king has great power and is respected by people everywhere, the restraints you receive are not easy. There are too many, I have to be like a god wherever I go, now think about the days when I was under house arrest in Japan, although I had to act according to the face of others, but with my wife and daughter by my side, it was not bad to be free."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "When the Ryukyu Kingdom was not annexed by Japan, it was a small country with a very loose organization. It is incomparable to the highly centralized and well-organized empire in ancient China, so the life of King Shangtai was very leisurely. , is basically similar to ruling by doing nothing, but since I rescued him from Japan, the Ryukyu Kingdom has developed rapidly with the help of our own science and technology, and the king has more and more things to deal with, so he can't be idle."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Shang Tai, do you miss Yun Lan?"

Shang Tai sighed, and said: "There is a Chinese saying: It is useless to think about the water thrown by a married girl."

Lin Yuan put away his smile and said seriously: "Mr. Shang Tai, I have a proposal, I hope you will seriously consider it."

Seeing that Lin Yuan became serious, Shang Tai asked seriously, "What suggestion do you have?"

Lin Yuan said: "I suggest you delegate power to the People's Power Congress and withdraw from the throne. After that, I can take your family to live in Beijing. If you think Beijing is too cold, you can also go to Yunnan, Taiwan, or just live in Ryukyu The capital is Okinawa."

Shang Tai frowned and did not speak. Lin Yuan said: "Actually, the monarchy is not a reasonable political system. For example, in this battle of the Ryukyu National Defense Forces, my original intention was to let you contain the Japanese army, but you asked the Ryukyu National Defense Forces to land in order to vent your anger. As a result, a lot of casualties were caused, and in China, this kind of war without any economic reason and purely for venting anger is impossible."

Seeing that Shang Tai hadn't spoken, Lin Yuan continued, "Mr. Shang Tai, I didn't mean to force you to abdicate, I just gave you a suggestion, but I want to remind you of one thing: Japan is very likely to instigate the people of Ryukyu to launch a coup. But they stage a coup, and both of us will be pushed into a dilemma!"

Shang Tai was taken aback, and said: "Although I dare not compare to such a virtuous monarch as Yao, Shun and Yutang, since I came to the throne, I have been wearing clothes and food, loving the people like a son, why did the people launch a coup to overthrow me?"

Lin Yuan sighed, and said: "The people's democracy replaces the monarchy. This is an irreversible historical trend, and it cannot be changed by a virtuous king like you."

Shang Tai nodded and said, "Okay, I will issue an edict to abdicate right now." After speaking, he laughed, and then said: "After abdicating, you can go to Beijing to see Lan Lan. I haven't seen her for a long time."
