Mark Twain, who was regarded as a reactionary, made a request in front of the Emperor of the American Empire, that is, to talk to His Majesty the Emperor alone. So what would his Majesty the Emperor do?

The gendarmes' reaction at that time was that such a reactionary leader must not be allowed to live in the same room with His Majesty!

The other officials present said that they wanted to chat together, but they were actually afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would kill Mark Twain directly?!

Your Majesty, that's both civil and military...

"You guys go out first, go out." Li Mengyang's decision was very simple, just talk.

"..." It was natural that the others couldn't say anything. The emperors had spoken, but the gendarmes were a little unwilling to leave. They wanted to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

"You go, why are you still standing?" Li Mengyang didn't think there was anything he had.

"No! We want to ensure the safety of Your Majesty!" This was shouted out.

"You guys, you should be worried about Mr. Mark Twain." Mr. Thomson joked.

"No! We will definitely not be joking with the reactionaries..." The military police was not joking.

"Let's go!" Li Mengyang lost his temper, okay, he became honest.

There were only two left in the conference room now, and Mark Twain was also interesting. He was not afraid at all, and he didn't do anything to tremble and went there carelessly.

When Li Mengyang saw this posture, he didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the kettle in the conference room and gave Mark Twain a glass of water.

If others see this, they will definitely not think about the interrogation. This is a real conversation. Ordinary conversation!

"You don't want to ask me what I scolded you?" Mark Twain spoke first. There was no torture at all, and he said it directly.

In fact, Mark Twain felt that the emperor Clint Lee could do this, but he still had to be tense now.

Li Mengyang heard Mark Twain's words and laughed at that time, "Of course I want to know, but I'm waiting for you to say it."

Mark Twain took a sip of water. Then a helpless smile appeared on his face, and then said, "Actually, I didn't scold me for being dirty."

"I believe in you." Li Mengyang interjected.

Yes, do people of literary giants use dirty words to curse people?

"Haha..." Mark Twain smiled, and then continued, "I believe I don't need the whole article to tell you in detail, so I'll just say something. In the article, I'll talk about the current situation of the empire and some crises that may occur in the future. Among these crises, one of the most important ones is you. His Majesty Clint Lee I will become a complete dictator!"

"Oh~" Li Mengyang finished listening very seriously. Then he sighed because he thought it seemed like something was wrong?

This is not a swear word?

I, Li Mengyang, have become emperors, are you still far from a dictator?

I have to say that Li Mengyang is really weird enough, but it’s nothing wrong with saying that his thinking is because that’s true.

"It's because of this?" Li Mengyang thought for a while, and he felt a little touch. That was just such a small matter that he arrested Mark Twain. It seems a bit over it, right?

"It's because of this." Mark Twain replied with a smile, but his smile was not ridiculed by anyone, nor was he saying that he was wronged. His smile was a kind of a kind of complacent but helpless smile. Then he said, "Your Majesty, haven't you seen this problem yet? I, Mark Twain, was arrested, or went to court in the end, or didn't go to court, and I was shot directly. It's nothing. Because all this proves one thing, that is, what I wrote in the article, you will become a complete dictator!"

"..." Li Mengyang remained silent after hearing this.

It’s not that Li Mengyang doesn’t understand. He can understand it and fully understand the logical relationship here. It is indeed as Mark Twain said. What’s happening now is that trend. You, Li Mengyang, will eventually become a dictator!

Mark Twain was guilty of his words. Although we say we can't just swear, just like the Qing Dynasty's censor system, what kind of "report and talk" are you doing? You can't let public opinion shut up?

Now, Mark Twain didn't scold the things he wrote now. They were nothing more than some of his political opinions and comments, but in this way, he was arrested. Of course, the reason was reported by the masses, but this also illustrates the problem!

The empire is heading in a bad direction, which is because of Li Mengyang's personal charm, personal ability, and some of his effective reform measures to create an increasingly stronger and stronger personality cult. From this personality cult, it will develop to the final dictatorship and extreme dictatorship!

The situation in the empire is now that personality cult is already very obvious.

Those slogans, ‘all-h!’, and this incident, are actually considered small things this time. Li Mengyang’s people at this time are unparalleled.

Then this will lead to various problems. Now I am catching Mark Twain. If Mark Twain is dealt with, or if he plays too hard, will anyone dare to speak in the future?

In fact, any kind of regime has not been able to block public opinion since ancient times. Although many public opinion is incorrect, if you completely block it, the consequences will be even worse. It is better to guard against the people than to guard against Sichuan. What our ancestors all know.

In fact, there has been a supervision mechanism since ancient times. This public opinion is a kind of supervision, but the supervision in the past is not extensive enough and is prone to errors.

For example, the censor system, why do you have to do this? It’s very simple. The Qing Dynasty’s subjects had a low level of education. This right to speak naturally was in the hands of intellectuals. For intellectuals, it’s not easy to come out. Can you kill them at will?

There was a Song Dynasty who dared not kill a scholar. Why?

In fact, the root cause lies in the cost. If you cultivate an intellectual, the cost is too high. It is not only a burden for the whole family, but the entire society will pay the cost!

So, if you want the intellectuals to speak, it is impossible for them to be full of good things, right? Those who are all good things are flatterers, so you have to do this "worry and hear things", because this is equivalent to reducing the risk of killing intellectuals.

In fact, from another perspective, the cost that the entire society needs to pay!

Of course, Li Mengyang absolutely hates that kind of "reporting things" and is definitely a critical attitude, because that is spreading rumors, legal rumors. If this continues, can it be possible?

But if we consider it thoroughly, at this stage of the Qing Dynasty, they could only do this, because doing this has the lowest cost. To put it bluntly, everything can be attributed to the word "cost"!

And now, this matter is put on the empire, what should I do?

Mark Twain was not a matter of news this time. Since the emperor Li Mengyang hated this thing so much, of course he could not have done news, but something happened now. Then kill Mark Twain and block Youyou's mouth?

Obviously, Li Mengyang can't do this because he really doesn't want to be a dictator!

But, he is the emperor, isn’t that the most dictatorial one?

If this matter is seen by Li Mengyang, in terms of the history he has studied, the real emperor is actually not a dictator!

The equation of the emperor with a dictator is what the Americans do. Other countries actually don’t do this because, because the emperor is not a dictator!

This is not to say good things for the emperor, because the reality is really like this. Let me give you two examples. Didn’t John I, in the UK, just signed the Magna Carta? He was forced to sign by a bunch of nobles at that time. He was the most famous European emperor who abused power, but wasn’t he forced to democracy in the end?

In Chinese history, just like the Song Dynasty, there was an emperor Zhenzong who shouted, "Can't you do something happy?" The original words may not be like this, but the general idea is that, even an emperor, he was almost driven crazy and could not even do something he wanted to do!

Later, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties were extremely powerful, but they still had various constraints... Anyway, if we really look at history, the emperor was not so dictatorial. At least there were nobles and superior bureaucrats to restrict them. And if this emperor was really too bad, everyone would revolt and kill him.

So, what should I do now?

It would be impossible to kill Mark Twain, but just let him continue to scold him?

Li Mengyang didn't care about this scolding, and there was nothing dirty to say, but the people couldn't stand it... In other words, the people were actually completely towards Li Mengyang, so Li Mengyang could not fight against the people!

Does Li Mengyang want to say that?

‘Don’t report it, just let this guy scold me?’ This matter sounds too idiot?

"Oh~" Thinking of this, Li Mengyang couldn't help but sigh.

However, Mark Twain spoke very seriously.

"Your Majesty! Actually, I am really worried about you! I am really anxious about you! Haven't you seen it yet? Our current American empire is indeed in a good situation, but there are actually hidden worries in it! The most obvious one is that you are about to become a dictator, which is the biggest problem!"

Mark Twain changed his breath because he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Your Majesty! Our empire lacks something! Some things that can really restrict your rights!"

Is something missing? And this thing is... (To be continued...)
