Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

I know, do I really know? He took another deep look at Christina, and then turned his attention to Palacides on the stage.

His eyes kept blinking with different and strange lights.

On the stage, Palacides now began his speech as the protagonist tonight.

"I'm very grateful to everyone for being here today, especially to our great King. His arrival, it can be said, has made me feel that there is nothing left to miss in this world. Really" everyone followed. Palacides' extremely grateful eyes quickly focused on Alfonso.

"Your Majesty is our hope, our people and the hope of a strong country. Over the past ten years, watching Spain become stronger and richer step by step under his rule, I feel that I have a lot to worry about. Boiling, yes, in the past few decades, there has never been a moment as full of passion and sense of achievement as in the past ten years. Spain has become one of the powerful countries in Europe and even the world. I am a minister, although I am old. , However, I still feel that my heart is not really old yet. Originally, I thought that after completing that term of prime minister, I would retire like other international friends, but in the end, it turned out that It was His Majesty who gave me a surprise, that is, His Majesty still did not let me go or let go of the labor force that exploited me."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Of course, this is what I am willing to do. I am willing to be squeezed out of such a labor force, even. I am willing to sit at my job and do my duty until the moment I die. It is such a glorious job."

"Bah bang bang!" Everyone, including Alfonso, applauded the old man on the stage. Antonio, who was not far away, also applauded vigorously.

"This Palacides, does he need to be so sensational? He is so old, but he still uses this trick. It makes my old man almost shed tears now. It really makes people feel speechless. It seems that there is The purpose is average. It's really cliché." Chavez and others sitting next to him felt a little funny when they heard it. However, he looked at Palacides on the stage with some thoughts, and also looked at the man not far away who was also applauding for his broken bones.

Naturally, these people applauded, and other people naturally would not let go of their hands.

‘It seems that the former Prime Minister. He is also a thoughtful person." Chinese Ambassador to Spain Lu Zhengxiang looked at Palacides on the stage with some meaning.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Ambassador?" next to Lu Zhengxiang. They are also yellow-skinned people. After hearing what Lu Zhengxiang said, he asked with some confusion.

Both of these people are from the Chinese Embassy in Spain, and one is a consul. One is the minister, and the three of them are now China's largest diplomatic officials in Spain. The person who just asked the question is the current Chinese Minister Li Zhengdao, and the person next to him who is also curiously waiting for the answer, Consul Cai Desheng, is the younger brother of Cai E, the naval marshal of Lu Xun's government.

If someone else had asked, Lu Zhengxiang might not have answered. However, the two people in front of him were diplomatic talents that the Lu Xun government worked hard to cultivate. Sending them to Spain was actually just to provide new blood to their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Naturally, Lu Zhengxiang would not let go of such an opportunity to educate these younger generations.

"Have you ever seen the results of those grand masters and prime ministers in the past dynasties of China? What are the general results? Victory, tell me."

Cai Desheng didn't expect to ask him directly, but he responded quickly, which made Lu Zhengxiang secretly praise the other party's astuteness.

Cai Desheng said: "Euthanasia, being hacked to death, being framed to death"

"Yes, compared to other prime ministers, the number of people who can euthanasia is pitifully small. In the end, they were either directly killed by the majesty they served at that time, or they were suppressed and depressed by the subsequent emperors, who were treated as kings and ministers. Of course, they died of depression. Well, the main reason for this is that the prime minister at that time did not have a time limit. Unlike now, which can be distinguished by time, it was indefinite at that time, so the king would enlarge his own family and replace him. However, it has to be said that the result is that many of these people who do not know how to protect themselves wisely and how to restrain themselves end up dying without a burial place. Most of these people are killed. After having his hands and feet tampered with, he died unjustly."

After hearing what Lu Zhengxiang said, the other two people didn't understand that it was really a pig's head after hearing such a straightforward explanation.

The two of them couldn't help but look at the stage, and from time to time they looked at Alfonso XIII sitting in front.

Li Zhengdao said with some sigh: "The relationship between monarch and minister is really complicated. It is impossible for us to understand the song thoroughly. However, I think we at least understand one truth, that is, sometimes, we should give up." When you go, you should give it up as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, Alfonso XIII should also understand the purpose of what Palacides just said."

It’s strange that he doesn’t understand! Lu Zhengxiang looked at Alfonso's casual but unpredictable look, and thought to himself: "I don't know, how will he treat these old Spanish officials? Like Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed the donkey. Well, should we directly kill all these old ministers and then take over the power alone, or should we replace them with benevolence and righteousness, so that they can continue to influence Spanish power and allow this country to form multiple forces wandering around Spain. If this is the case , Spain will therefore not be completely controlled by the royal family, which will also reduce the royal power, allowing other forces to combine to form a real challenge to the royal power."

What form would he choose? This is a problem that the modern royal family should face. The UK was the first to implement the prime minister system. This has allowed the British royal family to rarely touch the governance level of the country except for the military, courts and international politics. This has been since the era of Queen Victoria. started. And this is what Britain is proud of, but this has been boycotted by the Kaiser in the German Empire, and facts have proven that this is not welcomed by most people in Germany. The German Empire under the leadership of Prussia is even more Likes to continue to move forward under the leadership of the centralized royal family. However, these are all based on Germany's rapid development in recent years. If Germany's economy suddenly collapses, no one knows what will happen. Lu Zhengxiang would not think that such a result could be expected.

The time has come for Spain to carry out internal reforms. This was what Prime Minister Lu Xun personally guessed when he talked to him before he came to Spain. He said that Spain is a country that has fully quoted the system formulated by Alfonso XII. In this country, such a system is good, because most European countries have such a system. This kind of system is not much different from that of Germany and the United Kingdom, but based on the Prime Minister’s treatment of Alfonso XIII in the past ten years Understood, he said that he thought Alfonso XIII was a bold man who dared not do anything. Therefore, the Prime Minister guessed that if his guess was correct, Spain was on the verge of carrying out social reforms, and Spain was already preparing for the successor. The reform coming down is brewing.

What to do? Such a result really made it difficult for him to make a decision. What every king fears most is that the courtiers around him are too strong, especially when such courtiers have a lot of strength that can challenge their own capital. Although the current Palacides family capital is actually in Alfonso It doesn't seem like a lot, but it has begun to threaten the ability of the Spanish Bourbon royal family. If you add several other families, such as the Antonio family's coal, and other families, such as the military's weapons family, , the power inside is definitely extremely powerful, seriously speaking. , the several hundred million dollars of the Palacides family alone is already more than the GDP of the entire country of an ordinary small country, and compared with small countries, the net assets of the Palacides family are much greater, and their strength is More powerful.

He looked at the crowds of people in front of him, the flattery of the foreign diplomats, the flattery of the nobles, and the leisurely and elegant clinking of glasses by his own cabinet ministers. These all made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he had a tendency to shout violently. He felt angry, but he finally held back, especially when he thought of Christina's words just now. Thinking of this, he glanced at his mother gently, and then at Patricia who was watching with gusto. Especially when I saw Palacides' kind face and gray hair on the stage, a lot of the anger in my heart was written unconsciously.

Damn you bastard, this kind of decision really makes people unhappy. Alfangsu picked up the wine in front of him fiercely, and then ignored the surprised looks of those around him and drank it in one gulp. end. This is really different from the legality that the people around him have just tasted. However, he is not despised in this way. On the contrary, this makes many people, especially those who have already regarded phoenix eyes, The young women and girls who were put on him all felt that their little breasts had bounced out.

He is so handsome, so heroic, and has the spirit of a real man. He has really fascinated many fans of young girls and young women, making these people even more eager to worship Alfonso XIII, and those After seeing this scene, the man also secretly remembered Alfonso's drinking posture just now, and was thinking about how he could learn this move faster. If he uses this posture to pick up girls in the future, he will definitely be able to capture her. Winning the hearts of those women who are looking for beauty. (To be continued...)
