I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[The answer is obviously no. ]

[Generally, the officials under the chief of one country apply to the chief of another country for mutual phone calls, and then the staff of the party who does not want to answer the phone politely rejects the application with legitimate reasons such as "very busy" and "no time". ].

[Historically, we have rejected calls many times to express dissatisfaction and protest, including the call requests from Big Brother and Eagle Sauce Country. ]

The barrage flew out:

"Good guy, there really is a rejection situation. I thought they would give some face."

"Why does this rejection reason feel similar to that of ordinary people, haha."

"..."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were also surprised to see this.

I didn't expect that there was actually a situation where the chief of one country did not give any face and directly rejected the request of the chief of another country to call.

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

He felt that this situation must have caused a major conflict between the two countries.

Otherwise, this situation should not have occurred.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

When our country rejected the request for a call between Big Brother and the leader of the Eagle Sauce Country, it was when the two countries had a major conflict.

Because our country does not want to hear the other party's private explanation, it refuses to answer the call of the other party's leader.

……

[In addition to refusing to protest, there are sometimes some funny news around the leader's hotline. ]

[For example, the former president of the Eagle Sauce Country, Wang Dong, who did not play by the rules, liked to fabricate call records when he was in office. ]

[In April 2019, Wang Dong claimed that he called the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and relevant leaders to negotiate and force the other party to lower oil prices, but he did not call at all. 】

[In August of the same year, he said that he received two calls from Longguo, saying that my country was about to compromise in the negotiations and reach a trade agreement, but soon my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs came out to refute the rumor and said: The call mentioned by King Dong never happened, and the content was naturally unreliable. 】

[The president of a country was exposed on the spot for lying, which was extremely embarrassing. 】

[For a time, the media in the United States criticized King Dong, thinking that he was very outrageous and lied as soon as he opened his mouth. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Haha, when it comes to making a living, it has to be King Dong."

"I thought it was outrageous, but when I saw it was King Dong, I suddenly felt it was normal."

"Suddenly I am a little looking forward to it. If King Dong comes to power again in this presidential election in the United States, it will be interesting in the future."

"..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky and were shocked again.

It is said that a gentleman should never joke, but Wang Dong, the former president of the United States, has no such awareness at all.

He lies so easily, how can he be the head of a country?Son?

Ancients 470 once again refreshed their understanding of King Dong.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che fell into thought.

Although he had learned many miraculous deeds of King Dong from many previous videos, he still felt that King Dong was a smart man who could become the president of the Eagle Sauce Country after all, and it was impossible for him to lie for no reason.

And it was a lie that was easily exposed.

He guessed that there was probably a purpose.

……

[Of course, he might have done it on purpose. ]

[King Dong's previous fabrication caused oil prices to fall by 4%, and the next fabrication caused a short-term boost in confidence in the Eagle Sauce Country's stock market, with the Dow Jones Index rising by 250 points. Maybe he was a professional trader.]

……

"So that's it."

Many ancient people in all dynasties took it seriously.

Because they always feel that the head of a country cannot lie for no reason.

As for the truth, it is estimated that only the King of Understanding himself knows.

……

[This is not the funniest thing. ]

[Have you ever seen a leader being scammed by phone? ]

[In some countries, the department that handles calls for the leader may not be as professional and rigorous as everyone imagines. ]

[Sometimes, they mistake the scammer's call for a real important call. ]

……

"Ah? There is such a thing?"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were shocked.

Is there really someone who dares to deceive the leader of a country?

For these ancient people, this is simply unbelievable.

After all, in ancient times, the crime of deceiving the emperor was a capital crime.

……

[16-year-old Bindao Middle School student Fivefiel Atlason once played tricks on the White House. 】

[He got the number of the White House switchboard from somewhere, and then dialed it, claiming to be the President of Bin Island, and asked the operator to transfer to Bush, the then President of Eagle Sauce Country. 】

……

"What a courage!"

In many dynasties, many ancients exclaimed almost at the same time.

This young man is too bold. This is a diplomatic event between the two countries, and he dared to do such a mess and commit illegal acts.

Moreover, this person offended the president of his own country and the president of Eagle Sauce Country at once, and he will be in big trouble in the future.

"However, it is impossible for the Eagle Sauce Country to only listen to his one-sided words, right?"

The ancients continued to look at the giant screen in the sky.

……

[Of course, the White House will verify the identity. 】

[However, the test questions are too simple. 】

[That is, he kept asking questions like: When is President Bindao’s birthday? Where did he grow up? Who are his parents? When was he elected president? 】

[Atlason had already searched the Internet for the answers to these questions, so he answered them fluently, and the White House finally believed in his identity as President Bindao. 】

……

"Ah, this..."

Many ancient people from all dynasties were silent.

This verification method feels a bit too hasty.

……

[But since Bush was not in the office, the secretary suggested that he leave a message. ]

[This daring teenager directly invited Bush to visit Bin Island in the phone recording. ]

[But he didn't get a call back in the end, but waited for the Bin Island police to open the door and check the water meter. ]

[It can only be said that telephone fraud is a common worry for everyone. Whether it is an ordinary person or a national leader, there are times when they are accidentally deceived. It is hard to guard against it. ]

……

Watch the entire video.

Many ancient people from all dynasties still find it incredible.

They really didn't expect that the presidential palace of a superpower would be so easily deceived by a teenager.

For a moment

These ancient people didn't know whether to laugh at the staff of the Presidential Palace of Eagle Sauce Country for being too stupid or the boy for being too smart.

……

In the sky.

The video refreshed.

A new video appeared.

[A review of various monarchies - currently there are 44 monarchies in the world, and only 14 countries have kings with real power, which is greater than the prime minister. 】

……

When seeing the title of this new video, many emperors of all dynasties were shocked.

As emperors, they are too interested in this topic.

Many emperors hesitated to start the Industrial Revolution because they were worried that the imperial power would be impacted.

Although they also saw some monarchs in later countries in previous videos, they were mainly in the period before and after World War I.

As for whether there are still monarchs in the so-called modern society of the Dragon Country in later generations, and whether the monarchs have power or not, they don't know much.

But they have always been very concerned about this issue.

And this video at this moment can just answer the question they are curious about.

Therefore.

In different dynasties, many emperors instantly focused their minds and stared at the giant screen in the sky.

……

[Before starting this video, let's play a small game. ]

[If you are asked to make up a fantasy country right now, what type would you design it into? ]

[There are 4 options for reference: Kingdom, Empire, Republic, Alliance. 】

Many bullet comments flew out:

"Empire!"

"Empire!"

"..."

Looking at the densely packed "Empire" words on the giant screen in the sky, many emperors of all dynasties could not help but sigh in their hearts:

"It seems that whether in ancient times or later generations, most people still want to be emperors."

But they think this is normal.

No one understands the beauty of being an emperor better than them.

......

[AlthoughWhen UP is making videos, I don’t know which template you will choose, but I think most people’s first reaction is generally to make up a kingdom or empire. 】

[To put it bluntly, it is a monarchy. 】

[Whether it is my country’s online literature or foreign games, animations and light novels, the authors will basically tacitly choose the monarchy as a political system when setting up their fantasy countries. 】

Barrage flew out:

“That’s it, who doesn’t want to be an emperor?”

“In your own fantasy world, of course you have to be an emperor.”

“…”

Looking at these barrages, many emperors of all dynasties smiled.

…

[However. 】

[If you read carefully, it is not difficult to find that most authors’ understanding of monarchy is often limited to the ancient Chinese monarchy, and then combined with some of the medieval European content they know, and finally made a combination of Chinese and Western stitching. 】

【On the surface, there is nothing to be seen. 】

【However, let's be a little more serious and take everyone to take stock of several common monarchies in history and the distribution of these monarchies in the world today. 】

……

See here.

The eyes of the emperors of all dynasties are more focused.

The content they are most concerned about.

……

【There are various ways to call monarchies. 】

【The most basic dynasties, kingdoms and empires are needless to say, and there are also relatively rare grand duchies, where the rulers are grand dukes, which are equivalent to monarchs. 】

【There are thousands of ways to call them, and the political systems of these monarchies, that is, the organizational structures of the regimes, are actually not very different in essence. 】

【Most monarchies in world history can generally be divided into these four types: feudal monarchy, absolute monarchy, dual monarchy and constitutional monarchy. 】

【In terms of time, the first two monarchies are products of ancient society, while the latter two monarchies are products of modern bourgeois revolutions and belong to the category of constitutional government. 】

……

The dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked puzzled.

Which system does the Tang Dynasty belong to?

How did he remember that in the previous video, people in later generations called the system of the ancient Chinese dynasty a feudal monarchy.

Does this mean that the Tang Dynasty is a combination of feudal monarchy and monarchy?

Li Shimin was a little confused.

Because although he had heard the names of these four systems in bits and pieces through some previous videos, he was not clear about the specific definitions of these four different monarchies.

Not knowing what this monarchy means specifically, naturally he didn't know what the significant differences are.

Therefore, he couldn't match the Tang Dynasty with any of these four systems.

……

[Let’s talk about feudal monarchs firstSystem. 】

[Most European countries in the Middle Ages adopted this system. 】

[Under the feudal monarchy, the monarch can only rule over his own territory, and the jurisdiction of other territories in the kingdom belongs to local nobles. 】

[Take Gaul as an example. Before the 13th century, serfs and civilians only needed to pay taxes to their lords, and the income of the Gaul king came almost entirely from his own territory. 】

[This is what is called: my vassal's vassal is not my vassal. 】

[This system basically no longer exists in today's society. 】

……

The plane of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao in confusion:

"Boss, how come the feudal monarchy in the later generations sounds like the feudal system in the pre-Qin period?"

"Dad, you are right, it sounds the same. I guess this statement in the later generations originated from Mr. Hedong's "Feudalism"."

Zhu Biao replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

He had also read Mr. Hedong Liu Zongyuan's "Feudalism", and the feudal system discussed in the article refers to the feudal system in the pre-Qin period.

But then, a new confusion arose.

"Why do people in later generations also call our Ming Dynasty a feudal dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

He felt that according to this definition, his Ming Dynasty could not be considered a feudal system.

"I don't know either."

Zhu Biao shook his head in reply.

He was also confused about this.

In fact.

This confusion was not only shared by Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

In many other dynasties, many emperors also had this confusion.

And this problem actually arises because there are narrow and broad interpretations of feudal society.

In a narrow sense, it refers to the social structure of feudalism, which is similar to the feudal system in the pre-Qin period of China and the state structure of medieval Western Europe.

The broad definition of feudal society is by the Red Master, which refers to a social form based on the exploitation of peasants by the landlord class.

The reason why ancient Chinese dynasties are often said to be feudal dynasties is actually from this broad perspective.

……

[Next is the monarchy, which may be the most familiar political system. ]

[All political power is concentrated in the monarch, and the representative slogan is "I am the state." 】

[The monarch is above all others, hereditary, enjoys absolute authority, is in charge of all state affairs, holds the highest executive power, the highest legislative power, the highest judicial power, and the highest military command. 】

……

See here.

The emperors of all dynasties correspond to each other.

There is no doubt that their respective dynasties are the monarchy system.

So.

The next question is what they are most concerned about.

Does this system still exist in later generations?

The emperors looked at the huge screen in the sky more attentively, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

[At present, this system still exists. ]

……

Hearing this.

Many emperors of all dynasties were inspired and overjoyed.

In their view, since the monarchy system still exists in the future, it proves that the opening of the industrial revolution and the emperor's autocracy are not incompatible.

Whether it is true or not, it is the case in the minds of these emperors.

As a result, many emperors who were afraid of shaking the supreme imperial power and gave up the industrial revolution changed their minds and had the idea of ​​opening it again.

……

[In today's world, there are a total of six countries in the world that implement the monarchy system, namely: Swaziland, Wenlai, Vatican, Camel Kingdom, Aman, and Qatar. ]

[It is worth noting that according to different national conditions, the monarchs of these monarchies have different titles, and the heads of the cabinet are also different. 】

[For example, the monarchs of the two absolute monarchies of Wenlai and Aman are called "Sultan", the monarch of Qatar is called "Emir", the monarchs of Swaziland and Camel Kingdom are called "King", and the king of the Vatican is called "Pope". 】

[Given the characteristics of absolute monarchies that prohibit any party activities, the monarch either serves as prime minister himself or appoints his trusted confidant as prime minister. 】

[Like Camel Kingdom, Aman, and Wenlai, the monarch serves as prime minister and the monarch leads the cabinet government himself, while the Emir of Qatar and the King of Swaziland do not want to actually manage political affairs, so they hand over the prime ministership to others and control the overall situation themselves. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's eyes flickered.

His idea was not wrong.

The absolute monarchy system like the Tang Dynasty can also exist in the future.

Starting the industrial revolution and putting the country on the path of industrialization does not necessarily mean that the emperor will be eliminated.
