The first day of the second month of the first year of the Republic of China.

The Constitution of the Great Zhou Republic was finally passed unanimously by the Political Consultative Conference of the Youzhou Senate!

This is the first bourgeois constitution in human history, and it also means that part of China has finally crossed the threshold of the introductory germination of capitalism.

A new chapter in Chinese history has begun!

According to this Constitution, the state system of Zhou is a republic, with the full name being the "Great Zhou Republic". The highest governor of the country is the head of state, and the Senate is elected from the senators. The term of office of the senators is five years, and the term of office of the head of state is also five years, but no one raises objections to this. In everyone's mind, the head of state of Wu Haogu is the emperor in the eyes of the senators.

The head of state was to lead the Republican government, the Great Zhou army and navy, and preside over the Senate meeting.

The powers of the Senate are to enter into or amend laws, impeach illegal officials, review government budgets, approve wars or peace treaties, approve candidates for government officials, approve candidates for state chiefs, etc.

After the Constitution of the Great Zhou Republic was adopted, the historical mission of the Political Consultative Conference of the Youzhou Senate was also concluded. In the following month and a half, the Great Zhou Republic held a general election, with more than 300,000 yuan of nobility citizens, noble citizens, noble citizens, noble citizens, lifelong citizens and temporary citizens, elected 180 noble veterans and 180 citizen veterans.

Among them, there were 360 ​​honorary citizens participating in the voting, 720 honorary citizens, and 1,440 noble citizens. These 2,520 "noble citizens" came from 500 noble families. Among them, the Wu Haogu Tianjin Wu family occupied 252 people, which means that relying on the Wu family's own aristocratic citizen votes, 18 noble veterans could theoretically be selected!

In addition to relying on the votes of the Wu family to control 18 noble elders, the Doctoral Order controlled by Wu Haogu is also the largest political group in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Most of the 360 ​​veterans and 2,520 nobles are members of the Doctoral Order.

Wu Haogu is the chief commander and main financial support of the Doctorate! Through control of the Doctorate, he can firmly grasp the Great Zhou Republic. As for the army, the Great Zhou Republic now implements a system that combines the land-linked civilian system and the military academy officer system. As long as the civilians do not lose their manor, it will be difficult for officers to control the army and oppose the Senate.

The world is public, which does not mean that Wu Haogu has to hand over the power he has finally obtained. It is just a change to the rules of the game of power... Under the new rules, bloodline is no longer the basis for the inheritance of the highest power. Controlling the majority of the Senate is the guarantee of ascending to the throne of the head of state.

As long as this game rule can be established, considering Wu Haogu's age, he has at least thirty years to make this rule deeply rooted in people's hearts!

At that time, most of Wu Haogu's descendants (only a few who can participate in politics) will naturally withdraw from the future Republic's power game and live a stable, prosperous and free life.

When a person at the level of Wu Haogu, of course he would not envy the emperor's "One Lile" because he knew very well what the price of being alone was?

And he also knew that the capitalist box he opened had put the imperial throne of "loving alone" onto the crater.

It is really difficult to pass on the past few generations or dozens of emperors and wait for a constitutional monarchy to have a good end.

Because Wu Haogu started a great change in a thousand years! It was just like the First Emperor establishing a centralized empire, just like the Sui Dynasty who promoted the imperial examinations, and just like the Republic of China ended the two thousand-year imperial system.

Under such changes, Qin, Sui, and Republic of China did not have a long national fortune...

So on the first day of the first month of the Republic, Wu Haogu is now standing on the throne of the chief senator of the Senate, pressing a book of the Constitution of the Republic, and preparing to take the oath to serve as the head of state. He does not have much joy in his heart, but instead feels like he is walking on thin ice.

"I swear to take office as the head of the Republic with sincerity. From then on, I will contribute all my strength to the citizens of our Republic and the common people, abide by the Constitution, and safeguard the country. If there is any violation, the laws of nature will not tolerate it!"

The oath is short and epoch-making. This means that the head of Wu Haogu is not the king and father of the world, but the servant of the country, the people and the public...

It also means that the era of the king and father will become history in the future!

He breathed a sigh of relief and took the sword symbolizing the power of the head of state from the Senate's second son Murong Wangyou. He then wore it on his belt, which was a ritual.

"Long live the head of state! Long live! Long live..."

I don’t know who raised his head, but the sound of longing for the mountain suddenly resounded throughout the hall, as if it was about to overturn the roof... The feudal remnants of the First Republic are still powerful!

The eighteen cannons placed outside the head of state, on the Republic Square also began to sound salute. The thunderous roar sounded over Tianjin City, announcing the arrival of a new era.

Amid the rumbling salutes, Wu Haogu walked to the second floor of the Head of State Palace, facing a balcony facing Republic Square.

The Republic Square outside is crowded today, and it is full of citizens from Tianjin. I am afraid there are no less than 100,000 citizens!

People were cheering, salutes were roaring, and the shadow in Wu Haogu's heart was also swept away.

In any case, a new era has begun.

Although the future will not be smooth, the wheel of history has finally rolled forward and crushed the threshold of capitalism.

No matter how much people hate evil capitalism or love the feudal dynasty that is kind and loyal to the king, ministers, they are powerless to resist in front of the rolling wheel of history.

The general trend is the way, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!

For China in the 12th century, no matter how much pain it will occur in the future, it will give birth to an extremely powerful country that stands at the peak of the world.

This country will belong to the Chinese people and will be invincible and inconquering!

When the roar of the salute ended, Wu Haogu drew out his long sword and raised it high.

Seeing this scene, the citizens of Tianjin in the square gradually became quiet.

Wu Haogu knew that most people couldn't hear what he said, but he still raised his voice and said loudly: "The first government of the Great Zhou Republic was established today!"

"Long live, long live, long live..."

The cheers rang out again, resounding through the sky!

...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... On the first day of March, Wu Haogu announced the founding of the country in Tianjin!"

In the Yuqing Moral Palace, Cai Jing, who was rushing to come, reported the news he had just received to Zhao Ji, who was meditating with a look of panic.

"Didn't ascend the throne in the end?" Zhao Ji asked.

Su Chi, the head of the Privy Council of the Zhili Court who arrived with Cai Jing, replied: "No, if you become the head of the Republic, you won't dare to..."

"Don't say anything traitor!" Zhao Ji sighed, "Send someone to congratulate you! Cai Qing, Su Qing, who do you think is suitable?"

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shuye, the chief minister of the Privy Council, can be the chief envoy, and his minister Cai You can be the deputy envoy."

Zhao Ji asked: "Is this a joint discussion between the two governments?"

Su Chi replied: "It was the two governments that discussed together today..."

Zhao Ji, who was addicted to Taoist philosophy and also lost confidence in the future of the dynasty, has now become a standard tyrant who does not go to court very much. He even held a question in the Chongzheng Palace. He held a ceremony in the Yuqing Moral Palace all day long (actually studying philosophy, including natural philosophy). He was too lazy to read the memorials, and threw them all to the two governments. The national affairs were also discussed by the six prime ministers and four privy officials in the east and west governments. When encountering things that could not reach an agreement, he would vote. If he voted for five to five, he would ask Zhao Ji to make a decision.

He has a little constitutional monarchy here!

"Since it is a joint discussion between the two governments, let's take the initiative." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "Princess Qingde married Wu Yiyong to discuss with the Zhou State... I am the emperor, Wu Haogu is the head of state, and the marriage between the two families is also a major event, so I have to do it well."

After Zhao Ji said that, he waved his hand and signaled that the two of them would take their leave if they had nothing to do.

Song Daozong is now thinking about a very complex mathematical problem. How to make a square with only a ruler and a compass, so that the area of ​​the square is twice the area of ​​a known circle. A seemingly simple problem is said to have stumped countless mathematicians in the West. Zhao Ji felt that he must be smarter than them, so he wanted to solve the answer. After thinking for a few days, he found that he was stumped, so he had no time to take care of national affairs.

However, Cai Jing and Su Chi did not move. Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, Liangzhou urgently handed over, Zhang Yuan, the governor of Hexi, has passed away!"

"Zhang Yuan..." Zhao Ji sighed, "Who made the queen?"

"Zhang Yuan's legacy is recommended to Zhang Zhuo, the new head of the Hexi University Education and Culture Group, as the Jiedushi."

"The father died and the son succeeded, and the family will be the whole country!" Zhao Ji smiled, "Have you discussed the two governments?"

"I've discussed it." Cai Jing said, "The two governments agreed that Zhang Yuan's official title should be granted to Zhang Zhuo...Recognizing the hereditary status of Hexi Town."

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "That's not considered hereditary! Zhang Zhuo was first elected as the head of the Hexi University Education and Culture Group, and then became the governor's descendant.

Hexi is respected by the great education and transformation group, and the chief teaching edict is the leader of Hexi. Therefore, Zhang Zhuo was also selected, just like Wu Haogu..."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Zhao Ji said: "Let's just deal with the two governments. Is there anything else to say?"

"Yang Jian, the former governor of Youzhou, handed over a letter to the country... The letter to the country was called the special and full authority of the Great Zhou Republic to Kaifeng Prefecture."

"The Minister with a special order?" Zhao Ji asked, "What does it mean?"

"It is the envoy who was stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture, which is similar to the original one." Su Chi said, "In addition, the original Shangjing Left-behind Office will also be changed to an embassy."

"Oh," Zhao Ji nodded, "Just let him ask for it."

"Your Majesty," said Cai Jing, "the two governments have gathered discussions and believed that the court should also send the same special and full power minister to Tianjin."

"Okay," Zhao Ji asked, "who will send?"

Cai Jing said: "The two governments suggest sending Cai You to this position."

"Cai You..." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "Okay, just ask him to pay attention to the situation in Tianjin Prefecture and grasp the virtuality and reality of Zhou."

Cai Jing said: "The old minister will definitely tell the dog son your Majesty's words."
