I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 128 Zhu Houzhao: I am actually the same generation as Henry VIII! Henry VIII = Yu Wenyun?
Washington Manor.

Washington was rendered speechless by Jefferson's rhetoric, and even somewhat unable to argue.

"Washington, what's wrong?"

Adams, who was compiling a new gold distribution map, noticed something strange about him.

"Adams, no, it's okay."

Looking at Adams, Washington hesitated, but in the end it didn't bother him.

Because in any case, he benefited from the struggle between Adams and Jefferson to strengthen presidential power.

In a sense, he was indeed able to enjoy the benefits.

Jefferson finally got his point across.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: President Jefferson, you are going too far when you say that to President Washington. If President Washington wanted to serve as president for life, he could have continued to do so, instead of retiring after only two terms as president. 】

When Jefferson said this about Washington, Cleveland felt like his idol filter was broken and couldn't help but take the initiative to defend Washington.

[Meshizu Lincoln: I am actually skeptical about this. I didn’t pay attention to it before. I remember, it seems that it started here with President Jefferson. He could have been re-elected for a third term, but he himself would rather retire and found the University of Virginia than continue to serve as president. Washington was just the beginning, and the convention was formed by President Jefferson's strict implementation of the rules. 】

[The first one is certainly important, but to form political convention, the second one becomes even more important. 】

[Perhaps we attribute some of President Jefferson’s contribution to democracy to Mr. Washington? 】

Lincoln couldn't help but think carefully about it, and found that this kind of thing seemed impossible to delve into.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Washington I, haha, this is a good title. Washington and Jefferson both thought so, so you might as well admit it too. There is nothing wrong with being a lifelong president. No, the president is still too ugly, just call him emperor. 】

Louis XVI saw the excitement and continued to make trouble.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: I have hated hypocrites like you all my life. What’s the big deal about becoming emperor? Washington, if you treat this president as neither fish nor fowl, and you will be questioned by future generations, so what if you show your ancestral courage and proclaim yourself emperor? Don't be like Cao Cao here. His biggest regret in life may be that he didn't become emperor! Who are you pretending to show? 】

Zhu Houzhao also added some firewood.

Here he originally wanted to give the example of Li Yuan, father and son, but the trumpet obviously couldn't say that, so he could only find Cao Cao in a far-fetched way.

In fact, Washington here is equivalent to Li Yuan.

They gave the crown prince position to Li Jiancheng and were afraid that Li Shimin would be disheartened. Neither of them wanted to offend him and tried to let their son's struggle consolidate their own rights.

In the end, he hurt himself.

Political inaction sometimes causes greater harm to others.

Li Jiancheng's ending, in a sense, Li Yuan also has to shoulder a big blame.

Similarly, Washington may also have to shoulder a big blame for Hamilton's final outcome.

[American Taizu Washington: Everyone, please don’t cause trouble. Jefferson, I admit that although I have some thoughts, I definitely did not take advantage of the friendship between you and Hamilton. I do not want to see either of you hurt. 】

Washington found that he still had to explain and clarify.

[American Taizong Jefferson: Who knows? You have never experienced your best friend turning against you, or even...with your own hands...]

Jefferson took a deep breath and found that his throat was a little blocked. He and Hamilton were such good friends. If no one added money, he would...

[American Taizong Jefferson: Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore, group leader, I’m sorry, I was a little off topic just now… I’ll go back to the previous topic. 】

Jefferson was stunned to return to the topic again, because this way he would not be sad, and people who were in a working state could suppress any emotions.

[The biggest reason why I founded the Democratic-Republican Party is as mentioned above, I want to resist the other party and turn our country into something I hate...]

[This can be regarded as an active reason, but the passive reason is probably also the inaction of Washington I, or even the intentional promotion of people who claim to be non-partisan. 】

[Because, in a sense, party struggle has a positive effect on the king or monarch consolidating power. 】

Jefferson was stunned that he really picked up the previous topic, but he just picked up the topic. He did not forget the connotation of Yin and Yang Washington.

Washington could only smile bitterly. It seemed that the prejudice of his old friend could not be resolved for the time being.

What does it mean that he has never experienced a friend's rebellion? When he was young, he was just a little kinder to his good friends and George Fairfax's wife, but his friend was so stingy that he alienated him...

He did not explain and did not dare to speak. He could only watch Jefferson speak quietly.

[I say here that it is the ancient classic monarch who can strengthen his power through party struggle. In fact, our modern political parties, especially the current disputes between the two parties in the United States, cannot actually strengthen the power of the monarch. 】

[There are three reasons here. First, our political party directly represents the interests of the president or prime minister who represent the interests of a certain party and cannot represent the king. 】

[Second, although there are struggles, in times of peace, or when the country encounters major crises, having national consciousness is another extension of national consciousness. This kind of national consciousness sometimes even transcends the monarch's vision. Because we are a group, with group wisdom and group decision-making, the monarch is often just one person. 】

[Third, let’s put aside the monarchy, presidential system, or even the imperial system. The entire country is actually naturally divided into three factions: radicals, conservatives, and centrists. These three factions sometimes have conflicts of interest with the monarch, which can weaken the monarch's power. 】

[And if we don’t put aside the monarchs and emperors, there are actually four factions in the entire country: monarchs, radicals, conservatives, and neutrals. 】

[Of these four factions, the only ones with distinctive characteristics are radicals and conservatives. 】

[The monarch's attitude is chaotic. He will support whichever party is good for him or can be used by him. 】

[The typical ones here are Henry VIII, the second English king of the Tudor dynasty, who reigned from 1509 to 1547, and his chief minister of state Thomas Cromwell... They are typical representatives of classical parties, and at the same time they have concerns about the future. Inspirational. 】Um?
Zhu Houzhao was stunned!

Slow!

1509 years.

This is his time, three years from now!

So, during this period, was the emperor in England Henry VIII?
Zhu Houzhao was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that he could get information about his contemporary emperor here. He quickly wrote it down and cheered up.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: Wait, does this King Henry VIII have any characteristics? The names of your kings there are too many and too confusing. There was only Henry III before. Is this Henry VIII his descendant? Can you explain it a little bit? I'm a little confused. 】

He spoke decisively, looking for an opportunity to pause and want to know more about his own era.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Haha, Your Majesty Yuwen, did you jump out here? To be honest, this aspect is indeed a bit confusing, and those who don’t study it probably really don’t know. But what I want to tell you here is that you appear very cleverly. 】

[Because this Henry VIII is almost the same as you. You have five queens, and he is not bad either. He has six queens. Likewise, Henry VIII is recorded as a grumpy, moody yet romantic man, almost more like you. 】

Jefferson didn't have time to say anything, but Cleveland stood up.

[Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun: Huh? This guy, he has six queens at the same time? This, how is this such a coincidence? 】

Zhu Houzhao called him a good guy. It's not such a coincidence. His trumpet can also correspond to Henry VIII?

So, the British king he will face in three years is also a foolish king like Yu Wenyun? He was actually the same generation as the Western version of Yu Wenyun.

Then he seems to be relieved.

[Meimei Taizong Jefferson: It is indeed a coincidence, but to correct His Majesty Yuwen, he did not have six queens at the same time, but six queens who came after divorce, abandonment, etc. 】

Jefferson also took the opportunity to add the difference between the two.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care anymore, just think of him as an emperor like Yu Wenyun.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: No difference, let’s continue quickly. Is he as good an emperor as me? What are the things? 】

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to learn more.

[American Taizong Jefferson: I was about to say something just now, but I didn’t expect to be interrupted by you. Let me continue. The most famous thing about him is that he appointed Cromwell as his chief minister of state with full power to solve the problem of money and the excessive religious power in the country. 】

[After Cromwell came to power, he faced these difficult bones, especially the church... Cromwell began to reform, which directly violated the interests of many people, and they began to fight with Cromwell. In order to win this struggle and adapt to the harsh situation of the political struggle, Cromwell stepped up the organization and discipline construction within the reformists, and gathered members of the reformists around himself... forming a modern advanced The prototype of a political party! 】

[His behavior can be said to have brought together all the radicals in the country and truly unleashed the power of the radicals. In a series of struggles and reforms, victory was achieved one after another. It has even developed to the point that... Congress has become his political tool! 】

[Before him, all state officials, including the Privy Council, the Courts, and the Star Chamber, were appointed by the king and were responsible to the king. There were not many horizontal relationships between officials. 】

[Cromwell carried out drastic reforms to the institution, which greatly improved work efficiency. At the same time, officials strengthened the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and eventually all obeyed him. In order to prevent infiltration by political opponents, he ran the Privy Council and other power institutions like iron barrels, which could not be inserted by needles and were like fingers and arms. 】

[The Parliament controlled by Cromwell formulated and promulgated a series of laws, thereby creating the practice of parliamentary legislation. He used the king as an arrow and the House of Commons as a position to attack the clergy and nobles in the House of Lords, greatly expanding the power of the House of Commons. After Cromwell reformed Parliament, the three components of Parliament became: the King, the House of Lords and the House of Commons, which became the specific reference for our Parliament today. 】

[This naturally offended Henry VIII's taboo. 】

[So he was killed by Henry VIII. 】

[Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yun: This, this is not equivalent to Cao Cao, no... the three horses of the Sima family are in the same trough! 】

Zhu Houzhao was shocked. He didn't expect that Henry VIII would have such a terrifying prime minister. This would definitely be a serious problem in the future!
Write it down. Write it down! This is equivalent to Yu Wenyun reusing Yang Jian!
[American Taizong Jefferson: Although I don’t understand what His Majesty Yuwen said, I guess he was praising Cromwell! 】

[Indeed, although he is dead, his operation has completely put the Congress above the king. The king can only use the Congress to issue decrees in the future. This amounted to establishing the principle of the King in Parliament. 】

[And his act of forming a political party also allowed the enemies who were defeated and deceived by him to learn and start to form political parties. This became the prototype of the two political parties in Britain. 】

[Later, it was not until a hundred years later, on May 1660, 5, that the Stuart dynasty was restored in England and the religious reformation came. Two real parties were born, one was the Tory party and the other was the Whig party! 】

[Since the Parliament was larger than the king, the two parties entered the stage of history and became the dominant force in the country in the following period. Even in our century, after George I came to the throne, the Whigs and King George I almost jointly steered the destiny of Britain for nearly half a century. 】

[Our two political parties in the United States are based on the Tories and Whigs! 】

[One represents radical and the other represents conservative. When the country needs radical development, the king will choose the radical party to govern, and when the country needs conservative development, he will choose the conservative party to govern! 】

[These radical parties like us do not represent the interests of a certain person or a few people. For example, Cromwell died when he died, and the following parties also dispersed. Our modern party, even if I die, will continue to maintain its conservative background. The king, or even the monarch, can only slightly interrupt the rhythm by executing everyone in our party in one fell swoop. But the king can execute our bodies, but he cannot deal with our thoughts. In the future, there will be a steady stream of conservatives who will continue our will. 】

[To be honest, it would be better for a party like ours to have a close relationship with the king. If the king is uncomfortable with us, we can't even act like a classical party and just execute a few buddies. The only way the king can deal with us is to choose other parties to deal with us. 】

[Your Majesty Yuwen, if you want to learn from us, you will have to establish a parliament and have parliamentary supervision. Otherwise, sooner or later, your monarchy will be completely swallowed up by us. 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: My narrative is over, group leader. 】

Before Jefferson finished his science popularization, he gave Yu Wenyun some suggestions, and then... then submitted the task to Zhu Houzhao.

[Emperor Zhou Xuan Yuwen Yun: Thank you for your kindness. How could I learn such nondescript things from you? 】

Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that he got everything he wanted. This Jefferson was so generous!
This set of statements was simple and easy to understand, and he suddenly understood the difference between modern political parties and classical political parties in Jefferson's words!

[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, Jefferson has finished speaking. Can the group members gain anything? 】

He suppressed his excitement and continued to moderate the chat while recording key things.
