At the Central Delegates Conference, Su Yonglin used his authority to pass the retirement bill and the tenure reform bill.
Then, he submitted it to the People's Representative Conference, asked the people's representatives across the country to vote, and finally passed it.
For this proposal, the public representatives did not vote as quickly as the previous retirement bill and vacation bill, but all showed puzzled expressions.
Some public representatives asked directly whether this meant that Su Yonglin would step down as chairman of the executive committee and leave the leadership of Ming Dynasty in ten years.
Su Yonglin gave an affirmative answer.
"Now that the rules have been set and the law has been passed, no matter who you are, they must abide by it. If you don't abide by it, it will be meaningless, so I want to take the lead in complying with it."
"But in this case, what should the Ming Dynasty... and us... do?"
A public representative stood up with a confused and anxious look on his face and shouted loudly to Su Yonglin: "Chairman, you can't leave!"
Echoes arose one after another, all expressing concerns about Su Yonglin's strategy.
The public representatives could not accept this situation for a while.
They couldn't imagine how they would continue their career without Su Yonglin. They didn't know what they would do after losing Su Yonglin's guidance.
They were terrified.
To be honest, the central representatives who were observing the meeting at this time basically reached an agreement with the public representatives.
Without Su Yonglin, they were also very worried that their interests would not be protected.
Because they finally discovered that their interests had long been firmly bound to Su Yonglin, and whether they were willing to admit it or not, this could not be changed.
Out of different considerations, they ultimately pointed to the same solution to the problem - Su Yonglin will always be their leader. As long as Su Yonglin is alive, he will be the undisputed leader of the Ming Dynasty.
They dare not imagine what will happen after Su Yonglin's death, but at least for now, Su Yonglin is still alive, active, healthy, and eating deliciously.
So Su Yonglin continues to be their leader, mediating and suppressing all conflicts between them. Isn't this the best situation?
Maybe by the time Su Yonglin is dying, they will already be dead, so it won't be a big deal. To be more irresponsible, after I die, I won't care about the floods?
But Su Yonglin didn't want to.
He was unwilling to continue to be the supreme leader, so that he missed almost the only opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to truly move toward a democratic republic.
So when faced with this problem, Su Yonglin criticized the public representatives very seriously.
He used an unprecedented harsh tone and scolded the people's representatives who gathered around him until they dared not say a word.
"How many times have I told you not to rely too much on me! I will die! I am not God! I cannot live forever! I will die one day! Or in thirty or forty years, I will die! You are comfortable with me now Well, what happens after I die?
You must be thinking that if I die, you will almost die too, and what will you care about after death, right? fart! Don't care about your children? Don't care about your grandchildren? Do you want them to suffer the hardships and sins you have endured?
That's cowardice! That is a sign of incompetence! That is a sign that you have betrayed my trust in you! Everything is counting on me. After I die, you will just go there and ignore me, right? That is a betrayal of the revolution! It's a betrayal of me! I can't rest in peace until I die!
No one can save you except yourself! Except for you who take up arms to protect your own interests, no one will risk their lives for you! All you can rely on is yourself! Why don't you understand it yet? "
Su Yonglin had never been so angry.
As a result, the entire People's Congress chamber fell silent, leaving only Su Yonglin's angry voice echoing in the chamber, and then echoing in people's minds, never calming down for a long time.
In the end, Su Yonglin gave an ultimatum.
"I hand over the weapons of democracy to you so that you can arm yourself from the inside out and learn to use the weapons yourself instead of relying on me to command you. If you must do this, if you must think that only I can Decide everything, then I will resign now!"
Su Yonglin waved his hand and submitted a proposal to resign immediately, asking the People's Congress to vote on the spot.
He was ready to quit.
Not to mention the public representatives who panicked, all the central government representatives behind him also panicked.
They hurriedly came forward and tried to persuade Su Yonglin not to act out of anger, and then one or two of them quickly shouted the resolution to pass the tenure system in order to persuade Su Yonglin to stay.
In the end, the resolution on the term system was passed.
When Su Yonglin threatened to resign, no one dared to vote against it because they were really worried that Su Yonglin would change his mind and quit from now on.
After all, ten years is a period of time. They still have enough time to learn and plan the political situation without Su Yonglin. But if Su Yonglin is lost immediately now, why not cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty?
But this is a wonderful sight.
The country's supreme leader used the threat of relinquishing power to threaten popular representatives into passing bills that would limit his power and term of office.
He himself does not want such power and status, but the people's representatives who represent the people are reluctant to let him go and hope that he will continue to hold the highest power.
Tian Qizi witnessed this scene with his own eyes and immediately realized that everything Su Yonglin said was right and true.
The personal attributes of these people, especially Su Yonglin, are too complicated.
He is not only the founder of the new era and the gravedigger of the old era, but at the same time, he is also the last and most representative remnant of the old era.
Whether the Ming Dynasty moves forward or retreats depends almost on his thoughts. This is too dangerous for the Ming Dynasty Democratic Republic.
Su Yonglin must have thought of this, so he made such a decision. If he had not made such a decision, the Ming Democratic Republic would never truly transcend history and achieve its own great cause.
While he is alive, Ming Dynasty can still maintain the appearance of a democratic republic because of his personal will. When he closes his eyes, Ming Dynasty will degenerate into an empire at the speed of light. After a while, everything will be business as usual.
Everyone who should come back must come back.
Then everything Su Yonglin worked hard for, isn't it meaningless?
The final true formation of this country was marked by its complete breakup with Su Yonglin. As long as Su Yonglin still held power, Ming Dynasty would still be an empire, not a true democratic republic.
Su Yonglin is not only the defender of the revolution, but at the same time, he is also the greatest danger to the achievements of the revolution.
As long as he doesn't let go, this country will never be able to escape the cycle of history.
One thought can become a god or a thought can become a devil. The influence of one person has never been so heavy in history.
If future generations truly understood Su Yonglin's decision and the complicated situation at this moment, how would they understand what Su Yonglin was thinking at this moment?
Tian Guizi didn't know.
However, Tian Guizi successfully realized that he was also a part of the remnants of the empire and a huge threat that could not exist in the new era. The existence of any one of them would bring huge uncertainty to the new era.
Therefore, they can only follow Su Yonglin away from here, leave this hot land, go to other places to toil, and then die as soon as possible. This is the last and greatest contribution to the new era.
They have worked hard all the way to this day, and all the results they have achieved are actually their deaths as the final symbol of success.
If they are still there, this achievement will not be considered truly realized.
The entire Ming Democratic Republic, with 180 million people, is always under threat from the restoration of imperial power.
Is this okay?
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Tian Guizi sighed deeply.
When he once again looked up at the figure standing on the podium and forcibly passing the tenure system bill, he felt the urge to cry.
The last time he wanted to cry, it was because he felt that he had misjudged Su Yonglin. It turned out that Su Yonglin was the most despicable person in the world.
But this time he wanted to cry because he had misjudged Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin has never been a villain.
He is a saint who may never appear again.
He kept saying that he was a villain and had strong desires, but what he did was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
Is there such a villain?
Revolution is possible, faith is possible, our ideas can be successful, and a truly great society without exploitation and oppression can be completely built.
Because that saint is right in front of you.
Won't it happen again in the future?
Not necessarily.
The saint who defeated all despicable emotions has already appeared, and the possibility of the future has never appeared so clearly in Tian Guizi's heart.
The moment the term bill fell to the ground, two lines of tears fell down Tian Guizi's cheeks.
His vision gradually blurred, and he gradually lost sight of the glowing back.
As if Su Yonglin had accomplished something very important, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes, allowing himself to recover a little from his over-expended energy and physical strength.
How could the beautiful Ming Dynasty completely collapse because of some evil thought that he had in the future?
Even if he commits suicide, he will not allow it.
Making the Ming Dynasty great forever is his highest ideal and the only obsession in his heart at present. This obsession that spans thousands of years is deep enough to destroy all human desires.
He has transcended everything, he no longer cares about anything.
Letting Ming continue to be great is the only thing he wants to achieve. For this goal, he can even make himself less like a person.
Therefore, that ideal will definitely be realized.
Therefore, that beautiful world will definitely come true.
