Ma Cheng was very happy and ordered people to bring them in. He saw more than ten scarred messengers in the commander's camp, all of whom were Ma Guozhong's personal guards. This was really a surprise. The messenger said that everything was safe in Jizhou, and that the city could be eaten for four to five months. The wife told the commander not to take the risk of releasing the siege of Jizhou. Ma Cheng felt sober. After asking, he realized that his wife used her decisive means to implement military control in Jizhou.

Ma Cheng felt proud in his heart. Wherever his wife's beautiful and dignified small characters went, the government orders were naturally unimpeded.

The lady's small letter represents the military power of the Kaiyuan Liao army. If the big households in the city and grain merchants dare to resist the military power, the outcome can be predicted.

After settling down the messenger, Lu Xiangsheng's face looked a little strange and wanted to speak but stopped.

Ma Cheng said quietly: "Jiandou, what can you and me say?"

Lu Xiangsheng hesitated and advised: "I know you love your wife, but this hen Si Chen, you know my heart."

Not only was Ma Cheng not angry, but his heart was warm. He was not a close friend who could entrust his life to say this, and he would not say this. This was self-inflicted.

Asking Lu Xiangsheng to sit down, he suddenly asked, "Jiandou, the saint's clouds drooping and arching, what kind of situation do you think it is."

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and instinctively replied: "The Secretary of State said that Dun believed in the wise and righteousness, respected virtue and rewarded merits, and ruled the world. Records of the Grand Historian said that Tang and Wu took it against each other and followed it, and used both civil and military affairs, which was a long-term technique."

Ma Cheng joked: "Whether civil and military use is used, you are a traitor among scholars."

Lu Xiangsheng said disdainfully: "The way to govern the country should be to emphasize both civil and military affairs. When the enemy cavalry entered the pass, the emperor had almost no power to resist. Isn't that the evil result of the inability of civil and military affairs to cooperate with each other?"

Ma Cheng no longer teases him, so he naturally respects his ideas very much. This is an alternative among scholars. Such talented and stubborn characters always reflect on themselves.

Ma Cheng smiled again and said, "What we are talking about today is not a dispute between civil and military affairs, but a national system."

Lu Xiangsheng had become accustomed to the sloppy thinking of the great general and replied casually: "The country's system is the most important thing, and the country is the next best, and the king is the least important thing."

Ma Cheng clapped and praised: "You are right, you are gentle!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked over in the clouds and mist, and Ma Cheng said seriously: "There was a dynasty called the Gerry Flower Dynasty. The royal family was a nobleman from France. Henry II ruled England four hundred years ago. In addition to the family's original hereditary territory, the dynasty ruled the Duchy of Normandy, the Kingdom of England, and the Principal of Aquitaine. It once had a vast ruling territory from the Pyrenees to the Scottish border. Later generations called the Kingdom of England during this period the Anjou Empire."

Lu Xiangsheng was aroused of interest, and even the personal soldiers standing guard outside pricked up their ears and eavesdropped on them.

Horse City said slowly: "There are eight official kings of the Prague Dynasty, who ruled England in Thailand. Two hundred years ago, after the death of Richard II, England was ruled by the two branches of the dynasty, Lancaster and York, and the war broke out a hundred years ago because of the throne. During the Prague Dynasty, British culture and art gradually took shape, and the national body shape also changed. A Magna Carta was also signed, and the English Parliament and the Model Parliament originated from the dynasty."

Lu Xiangshengqi said: "These countries in Taixi are also the origin of national studies, but they are not barbarian countries."

Ma Cheng praised: "That is true, the change in the state of England in Thailand began with this Magna Carta. About four hundred years ago, England produced a foolish monarch named King John. The nobles of England joined forces with all the forces dissatisfied with him to rebel. The nobles received support from the people and occupied the capital. Then the nobles of England gathered in the capital, held King John of England hostage, and signed a baron bill. After that, another Magna Carta was signed, which said that the king was only the first of the nobles and had no more power."

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and questioned: "I'm so confused. Are the nobles rebelling just to force the king to sign a charter?"

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "That is, the nobles re-John, and then the royal family officially logged the agreement between the king and the nobles, which became the original Magna Carta, and copied the copy to various places and kept by designated royal officials and bishops. Isn't it even more confused?"

The personal soldiers outside all had strange expressions. Lu Xiangsheng was completely dizzy when he heard this and asked, "Didn't the rebels establish a new emperor? This is strange."

Ma Cheng said seriously: "It's so strange."

Lu Xiangsheng naturally disbelief and asserted: "But these nobles are very unwise, and King John will definitely not give up."

Ma Cheng laughed and said, "It is like a god to build a dou and take things into consideration. It is precisely because King John of England has no sincerity to accept the constraints of the Magna Carta from the beginning. He was forced to sign the documents under force, especially the charter almost deprived the king of all his power. Just after the nobles left London and returned to their fiefs, John immediately announced the abolition of the Magna Carta. Pope Innocent III also rebuked the Magna Carta as "the shameless clause imposed on the king by force and fear." The pope denied any nobles' demand for power, saying that doing so undermined the dignity of the king. Then Britain fell into a civil war. When King John died of illness when the civil war was in full swing, the nine-year-old Henry III ascended the throne, and the royal staff hoped that the young new king would be accepted by the nobles. After the new king ascended the throne, the war ended, and the royal ministers issued the Magna Carta again in the name of Henry, but the terms for the king were much looser."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "From now on, this charter must be a piece of waste paper."

Ma Cheng said seriously: "You were wrong in Jiandou. After that, this Magna Carta became the English system, and it will continue to this day."

Lu Xiangsheng's expression was dull and murmured: "This is really a rebellious thing."

Ma Cheng smiled and felt like he was brainwashed by a pyramid scheme master. A talented and stubborn figure like Lu Xiangsheng could only slowly influence him. Constitutionalization is the only way out for the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, this constitutionalist must include nobles, merchants, landlords, and royal families, and must have an independent cabinet that does not rely on the monarchy. As for what happened later, Ma Cheng could not imagine, in short, this general direction is right. Who said that the Ming Dynasty could not produce its own constitutional state system?

Of course, this was a way to commit suicide during the Chongzhen Dynasty. Constitution was only possible in peaceful times.

In the war years, centralization is needed, and in the war years, strong people's politics are needed. In the war years, constitutionalization is to seek death. The Emperor Ming has to establish a constitution, and after the era of Jianlu, it is still early. It is not difficult to establish a constitution. An enlightened monarch can do this. This must be decades later. What the Ming Dynasty needs is strong people's politics and a wise commander, but it is not a prince raised by Emperor Chongzhen's pig farming policy.

In the evening, Li Zhengming was at home.

After lingering, Li Zhengming said the words of the Marshal Bai Tian to his wife. Wang Zhen said in surprise: "What does Marshal really say that?"

Li Zhengming said proudly: "I heard it really."

Wang Zhen trembled and leaned over with a little weak point. He thought to himself that your general is going to be a traitor, so naturally he can't say these words to his lover. This snatcher can't hide things in his heart and is loyal to the general. He then felt relieved. That general is the dragon among the people. He can be a capable minister in the prosperous times, but he is a hero in the troubled times. In ancient times, he refused to be Yue Wumu. With his lover's thick waist, Wang Zhen's whole body became hot. This is also excellent. Isn't his own man a founding hero?
