Chapter 69 The Emperor and the Marshal (I)

Beijing, China Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor put down the report in his hand, looked at Xu Fan, who was wearing a white marshal's dress opposite, and said teasingly: "Xiaofan, look at the good students you teach. What does this kid mean? He also opposes the democratic revolution and proposes to gradual democracy. Is he trying to dig out the corners of the empire? He wants to be Washington in China? It seems that he has fulfilled your wishes."

Xu Fan held his knees with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said frankly: "If Xiaoyu really thinks so, I admire his courage."

"Courage? Admiration?" The emperor stared at him for a long time, and his smile gradually faded. "Xiaofan, look at the current situation... This country has improved slightly, but there are revolutionary parties outside, corruption and depravity in the local area, and the proposition of the confederacy is still gloomy. All kinds of people who are unwilling to be lonely are taking on the country's ideas, and they are all ambitious and ulterior motives. Look at what has happened in recent years, think about it... He, look at these people now, look at our Congress, those unscrupulous opposition parties, and the so-called representatives of the local public opinion... Don't you understand? This country and this nation cannot afford to play democratic experiments. After so many years, have you not seen enough? How long do you still have to be angry with me..."

Xu Fan was silent for a while, but he still said firmly: "Teacher, in recent years, the country's situation has indeed deviated from the track. There are many things, and you have to do it. But we must see progress, see the new political and cultural atmosphere after the enlightenment of the people's wisdom over the years, and the ideological enlightenment. Political corruption is a fact, the injustice and shady in the election are also facts, and the shamelessness of politicians is also facts, but these cannot deny the operation of the national constitutional system and are gradually mature. Compared with ten years ago, the breadth and depth of people's participation in national politics has been greatly improved. There are more and more newspapers, and the public opinion atmosphere is becoming more and more open. There are more criticisms of officials, and they dare to question the central policies. These are all symbols of national progress."

"Progress?" The emperor snorted with some angrily, "Look at the things that the Al Shabaab has made, and the local drummers! They all use the banner of democracy, want to take advantage of the propaganda revolution, want to place territory and promote the confederacy system and local autonomy, and want to take office, advocate the republic of the Void King. Don't I know what they want to do? Do we have to leave the country we have worked hard to create to these unscrupulous scum to ruin? Xiaofan, you are still too presumptuous!"

Xu Fan was obviously excited when he saw the emperor and wanted to say something, but finally remained silent.

"I, don't you want to be Qin Shihuang!" The emperor's face turned a little red, as if he forced a strong mood to suppress, "But if I don't become this iron-fisted emperor, this country will be bloody and broken! This country of thousands of miles will face the division of the great powers, and will never be repaid! My thoughts can be seen in the sky!"

"I will never give up power. This country must not let those ambitious politicians get involved." The emperor said word by word, "That boy..."

"Teacher, please give me some more time." Xu Fan suddenly said, "It's not for Xiaoyu, but for me. I only need ten years. I hope that the teacher will continue to maintain our original agreement and let the country go step by step in this direction. If ten years later, this country will still be so chaotic, and the people will still be fooled by others, then I will defend the imperial centralized system of the imperial system to the death. Anyone who wants to shake the national order will be the first to take action."

The emperor stared at him, his pupils gradually contracted: "Ten years? Can I live another ten years? Xiaofan, Xiaofan, you are playing tricks on your teacher... Ten years later, if I am gone, even if you are not the emperor, the country will not be decided by you? Xiao Tie... His little thoughts are not on this! His weapon pattern cannot support this country! As for Xiaoyu... I think you are good at making a plan! If you don't be an emperor, you will keep your reputation, but you will be invisible behind the scenes, and control that child from a thoughtful perspective!"

As soon as this said, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and a cold breath suddenly spread. Xu Fan sighed secretly, knowing that the teacher was habitually hitting himself. Xu Fan and the emperor had never made a fortune. After so many years, he knew the truth of the founding emperor better than anyone else. But after all, this teacher was already a real emperor, and Xu Fan has never been afraid to be vigilant about creatures like the emperor. So he still showed a little fear just right, but immediately returned to calm. He pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the old emperor firmly: "Teacher! You know more than anyone else! I have been rushing to the shelves for so many years, and I am not for anything else, just for the teacher, for our country! If you think I am harmful to the country, then as long as you say, Xu Fan will..."

The emperor stared at him and sneered: "Want to give up? Threaten me?"

Xu Fan was just silent, but the determination on his face showed everything. Xu Fan knew very well that the more he showed a clear conscience and righteousness, the less the emperor would really doubt himself. But once he showed a little...

The emperor stared at him for a while, and his eyes finally softened gradually. A hint of appreciation appeared on his face, but a hint of disappointment was mixed with. He waved his hand tiredly and sighed: "Forget it... Your child, looking easy-going, is the biggest stubborn person. Unlike Xiao Tie, it looks cold and cold, but it is actually a glass egg... I said when I founded the country, I would like to give this country twenty years. If I say this, I will naturally have to keep my word."

Xu Fan still dared not relax his vigilance. Over the years, he watched the teacher become more and more like a founding king who came out of history books. As his power grew bigger and older, the emperor, who was originally considered enlightened, became more and more arbitrary and suspicious. Especially after the incident five years ago... I don’t know when, but in front of this teacher, he became more and more cautious, and the tacit understanding and understanding between the two had faded into a faint memory.

Feeling the increasingly solemn gaze of the old man opposite, Xu Fan's heart secretly raised himself again.
