Chapter 63 Section 5 Parliamentary Politics Bullshit

After the Guangdong side was settled, Sun Wen led more than a dozen people and happily rushed to Beijing to have a historic meeting with Yuan Shikai. On Yuan Shikai's side, compared with Guangzhou and Wuchang, it was three points more lively. Many congressmen gathered in the Senate and the House of Representatives every day, arguing and scolding each other, and fighting together. It is said that since the prime minister Tang Shaoyi absconded and fled, Li Yuanhong, a fat man in Wuchang, recommended the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang to form a cabinet. A person with high political prestige and no political baggage, so Lao Yuan nominated Lu Zhengxiang to give a speech in the Senate to conquer those congressmen who needed to be beaten.

Talking about parliamentary politics, the biggest characteristic is gossiping and making troubles, fighting over trivial matters every day, and digging far away from the topic all day long without getting close to the real business.For example, long before the founding of the Republic of China, the Advisory Bureau in the late Qing Dynasty launched a fierce battle around a topic: it is not a crime for a woman to be raped without a man—that is to say, a member of Parliament proposed such a motion: girls, If she is not married yet, then she can have sex with whomever she likes, and sleep with whomever she likes, and no one else can control it... It is conceivable that such a proposal proposed in the Qing Dynasty would have an explosive effect .

At that time, the Advisory Council fell into a frenzy over this proposal, arguing for three days and two nights, but nothing came of it. By the time of the Republic of China, the Senate fully demonstrated its gossip style.According to "Memories of Cao Rulin's Life", the congressmen spent a lot of energy trying to sort out a terrible problem: rape is a crime, and rape is not a crime—meaning, some congressmen proposed a wrangling motion, thinking: Husband and wife If a man and a woman outside the relationship have a relationship, if the girl does not like the boy but insists on having it, it is a crime of rape.If the girl herself is quite willing, the occurrence of this kind of sexual relationship cannot be regarded as rape.

As soon as this motion came out, it was like throwing a bomb into a cesspit. With a bang, it aroused countless public outrages. Many members of Congress were in high spirits. They would not eat, drink, sleep, or sleep. I voted several times, but I still couldn't vote for a name. Just when the congressmen fell into extreme anxiety and excitement, Lu Zhengxiang came, and saw him stepping onto the podium, speaking in a soft and gentle Shanghai accent, and said slowly: My brother and I are overseas, whenever I meet a Chinese overseas, whether it is a distinguished guest, a businessman, a student, or a laborer, my brother will deal with them all.Because Zhengxiang likes his own countrymen very much.When I was in the government office, it was just a small errand, nothing serious.On the first floor of the cook, I also have to worry about billing myself.Brother, I don't want to eat flowers and wine, I don't want to compliment the officialdom, and my relatives don't get in touch, saying that Zhengxiang doesn't quote his own people, and he doesn't want to borrow money, so he is extremely cold in the social field.Just like a brother, this time a person who doesn't want to eat flowers and wine, doesn't want to compliment the officialdom, doesn't quote his own people, and doesn't want to borrow money, actually asks him to do a huge thing, Zhengxiang Qingye thought to himself, what happened today? One of the happiest days of my life.When I was in a foreign country, I didn't know my birthday, because my mother passed away quite early, this time can be said to be the day of Zhengxiang's rebirth...

The above paragraph is absolutely true and true, it is Lu Zhengxiang's speech in the Senate when he reorganized the cabinet. Its style is unique and its content is bizarre. It is said that after listening to Lu Zhengxiang's speech, the members of the House of Representatives were at a loss at first, then dumbfounded, then lost, and finally disheartened. A sudden explosion came from the Senate: Down! That night, countless leaflets flew out of the Senate, writing: Such a difficult world, such a government, is really a sign of subjugation! Why did the congressmen hold such a strong opposition to Lu Zhengxiang's speech?

This is because the congressmen all know that they have no shit skills, so they discuss the difference between rape and rape every day with great interest, just waiting for a strong strongman to work for them.Unexpectedly, there is a Lu Zhengxiang who can talk nonsense better than the congressmen, how can the congressmen bear it?
