Aspiration

Chapter 244

The meeting of the House of Commons was very lively, besides eating and drinking, the organizing committee came up with a new idea, that is, after holding a beauty contest, the provinces would nominate candidates, and then select judges, who were electing beauties.The rules of beauties are more difficult to determine, because everyone has different hobbies, so the standards of beauties are also different.

Some like to have a charming face, some like to be a bit wild, some like to have big breasts, and some like to have fat buttocks, and then there are fakes, those with small breasts put things on their chests, and those with thin breasts put cushions on them , so in order to be fair, someone suggested, take off!
It should be more difficult for the ancients to take off, right?In fact, this is not the case. You think, for beauty pageants, girls from good families will participate?Ladies and gentlemen will participate?Not all of them are from Fengyuechang!

So, this beauty pageant was really lively. The judges said that they would show whatever they wanted, and they just stripped naked when they entered the finals.

Members of the House of Commons were really corrupted this time. They had meetings during the day, beauty pageants at night, and foot baths, massages, and saunas. They were extremely busy.

Before long, discussions started among the MPs. They felt that Prime Minister Li Yan would be better, more open, and it would be interesting to be such a MP.

"That's more than that. After Li Yan becomes the first choice, there are still many measures to be taken. I heard that this time the councilors will be allocated hundreds of acres of land after returning home. That's what Prime Minister Li Yan wants. .”

"Is there such a thing?"

Hundreds of acres of land was a huge fortune in the late Ming Dynasty.Therefore, the members of the congress immediately came to their spirits when they heard it.

"That's not all. The beauties you have seen this time are pretty enough. All the beauties who did not enter the finals will be brought home by the councilors from each province. It is said that each councilor can get one. If there are not enough, they will be selected in the capital. "

"Oh, that's what makes it interesting." Sometimes this beauty is more interesting than money, and the congressmen were elated.

"Hey, it's a pity. It is said that Prime Minister Li Yan hinders the republic system and dare not be too extravagant. If it were the original monarchy, Prime Minister Li Yan would give everyone the title of Marquis."

"Fenghou?"

Ordinary councilors have the most lofty dream of being a marquis, and they dare not even think about it. Now that they hear that Li Yan has such an idea, their hearts are itchy.

"Let's make a proposal. To restore the enfeoffment system, we don't want tens of thousands of households. Hundreds of households are also good."

"You can mention it, of course you can. Now it's a democratic system, you can mention anything. But it definitely won't work."

"why?"

"The House of Lords. The people in the House of Lords are all nobles, whether they are princes, dukes, or even kings. How can they let the people in the House of Commons also be nobles?"

"What should I do?"

"What should I do? There is no way! Unless Li Yan becomes the emperor."

"Then let's ask him to be emperor."

"How can it be so easy?"

"what's wrong?"

"Changing the country's political affairs! That would require bloodshed."

"We will do our best for Li Yan."

Gradually, the trend of thought to restore the monarchy spread.

The meeting of the House of Lords was held relatively cautiously, and big-name members such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yousong, Wu Sangui, etc. were not present, so there were very few disputes at the meeting.

However, some people raised different opinions on the beauty pageant during the meeting, saying that it is not doing business properly, affecting the atmosphere, especially not in line with Chinese tradition, hindering morality, and has a great impact on social atmosphere.

There are quite a few people in the House of Lords who hold this view. Most of them are old men and women. It is not so important to them anymore, so it is reasonable to object.Later, there were rumors that someone was going to write a letter requesting Li Yan to restore the monarchy. Only then did someone jump out to oppose it.

Generally speaking, those who stand up to oppose at this time are a little stupid people, either their brains are flooded, or they are impatient.However, the person who stood up this time was neither stupid nor impatient, nor was he impatient.

Gao Guiying, Li Zicheng's original wife, one of the three women in the House of Lords.

Gao Guiying was highly respected, she stood up and said a few words, no one dared to do anything to her.She said: Restoring the monarchy is a treasonous thing. It is very easy to usher in a peaceful and prosperous age. All kinds of forces live in peace, and suddenly the world of one surname is restored. In the future, disasters will continue.She also said a lot of truths, and one sentence left Li Yan speechless.

"You, Li Yanming, said that the imperial system, are you in favor of the restoration or against it?"

Of course, Li Yan couldn't make a statement at this time. Once he made a statement, the plan would be disrupted.If he agrees, doesn't that mean he planned everything by himself?If he said he was against the imperial system, how could others propose him to be emperor?Therefore, he cannot say that he is in favor of the imperial system, let alone against it.

So under Gao Guiying's questioning, he had no choice but to say, I have no opinion, let's see what everyone thinks.

Gao Guiying had discovered Li Yan's wolfish ambitions, and she said, "Li Yan, if everyone agrees to restore the monarchy, who do you think will be the emperor in accordance with God's will?"

This is a very serious question, logically, no matter what, the emperor will not be in Li Yan's turn.

The authentic emperor is still in power now, and Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are still living well in the Forbidden City. He is the most suitable candidate for emperor.Secondly, it should be the Manchu Emperor Shunzhi, who also served as emperor in the Forbidden City for two years.The third place, of course, is Li Zicheng. He overthrew the Ming Dynasty and ascended to the throne in the Forbidden City. Being an emperor is a matter of course.Others, such as Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yousong, and even Wu Sangui can also be emperors.

Of course, the person who should ascend the throne most is Li Laiheng.

So Mrs. Gao said, before finding Li Laiheng, don't even think about changing the state system. The republic was established by him, so it should also be decided by him to abolish the republic.
