Who among the emperors of the past dynasties was not afraid of rebellion? King Xia Yu asked the princes of the world to contribute bronzes, nominally to cast the Jiuding that symbolized the nine states of the world, but in fact it was to prevent the princes from using these bronzes to make weapons, rebelling and taking his place.
After the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty Yingzheng unified the world, he collected weapons from various places and cast twelve huge bronze figures outside Xianyang City. The purpose was similar to that of Xia Yu.
Xun Shu asked Long Fei if he was worried about the emperor being deprived of his power, and then taking the opportunity to rebel and replace Long Fei as the emperor of the empire. This was also what Xun Shu was most worried about. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. Now that Long Fei is such a courteous and virtuous corporal, when he really rules the world
, it is normal for an emperor to turn his back on others. As long as they are displeasing to their eyes, it is easy to arrest and kill them.
Everyone looked at Long Fei, but Long Fei smiled. This is the purpose of his reform. Only when there are more people sharing power in a country, the ruling class will look after each other and plan together. However, it cannot be said by one person.
After all, the same ruling class should also be divided into three, six or nine levels. The lower ruling class hopes to climb to the top, and the top ruling class hopes to be stable. Everyone competes with each other, and only as the emperor who overlooks these people can they live a free and comfortable life.
Long Fei cleared his throat: "In the past, the entire country, down to the common people, up to the princes and nobles, every plant and tree in the world belonged to the emperor. With just a word from the emperor, you could overnight become the most famous person in the world besides the emperor.
A powerful person can, on the contrary, become a penniless beggar on the street. This is imperial power. The emperor is superior to everyone below. No matter how high your official position is, how rich and powerful you are, if the emperor says give it all to me, then you have to give it all to him.
This is what you said, if the king wants his ministers to die, they must die!"
Everyone was silent, and Long Fei continued: "What we are establishing now is not so much about restricting the imperial power as it is about distributing the imperial power to you. You are also the masters of this country. As long as you think things are right, the emperor will
No matter how domineering you are, you must abide by the law, otherwise there is a risk of being ignored. The emperor is the same as everyone else. To achieve his goals, he must discuss with everyone. One family can no longer dominate. After all, you are all the masters of the country. If you rebel
, Who are you rebelling against?"
Xun Shu nodded: "Having said that, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and the decision to kill is all in your hands. How can we, the rest, have any influence?"
Among the four old men, Xun Shu rarely spoke, but when she did speak, she went straight to the important points. Long Fei repeated his assurances, but Xun Shu didn't seem to believe it. Long Fei was a little discouraged, thinking of the capitalist reforms in later generations, all of which were capitalists
They were clamoring for the emperor's rights. It was better now that he, the emperor, was licking his face and putting his rights in front of them, and they didn't even look at them. It was in line with the old saying, the meat that is brought to the mouth does not taste good.
Mu Shuang smiled: "I strongly support this decentralization of power. His Majesty's intention is to divide the power into three parts. It is to make laws, handle political affairs in accordance with the law, and supervise judgments. The parliament is naturally the one who makes laws and has the greatest power. Your Majesty includes the current one.
The imperial government only handles political affairs in accordance with the law; in addition, it is necessary to form a new department, which is independent from other departments, or has a parliament to supervise whether His Majesty and his court act in accordance with the law!"
Mu Shuang explained the principle of separation of powers of capitalism in the most popular terms. Si Chang was dumbfounded and did not react for a long time. If according to what Mu Shuang said, this parliament composed of himself and others was completely
Above Long Fei, that is, above the emperor, all the emperor's rights come from them. How can there be such a thing in the world? Isn't this a rebellion?
Xun Shu was relatively clear, he said: "Then is Your Majesty also a member of the parliament?"
Mu Shuang nodded: "The currently established parliament has fifty seats. The government and the royal family represented by Your Majesty occupy twenty seats. You and we also have members elected by ordinary people, with ten seats for each party. If
To pass a law, more than half, that is, twenty-five people must pass it. Judging from the current situation, none of you or any of us can shake His Majesty's position, because the people have great support for Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty raises his arms, at least
There are thirty people standing behind him, so he is the law!"
Long Fei quickly explained: "There is also an advantage to this. If when I am in a coma, you all think that what I did is wrong, it shouldn't be a problem to join forces to get half of it! In this way, the decree will not be passed, and it will not be possible.
Harming the common people, of course, if the three of us want to win over those ten common people members for our own interests, I will have a greater advantage!"
Zhong Hao suddenly said: "This is a good way to prevent the faint king from taking over, but what should we do if we meet the faint king? We can't fight with him in the court all day long!"
"This is easy to handle! If 90% of the members, that is, forty-five members, think that the emperor is a coward, then they can abolish and establish him, but the new emperor should be selected from the blood of my Long family!" Long
Fei immediately made a promise.
Chen Qian looked at Long Fei: "Are you really planning to do this? If so, your children and grandchildren will scold you!"
"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "Regardless of scolding or not, as long as the Tianlong Empire can be passed down from generation to generation, this is a good way!"
Han Shao suddenly said: "The last question, if you can convince me, the four of us will go with you. After talking for a long time, it seems that military power was not mentioned. The empire is expanding and there are millions of lions. Without a unified leader, it is inevitable that
Mutiny, that’s no small problem!”
"Sir, please sit down and listen to me!" Long Fei said with a smile: "Now I have established a military department to take charge of the world's troops. Without my order, no one can mobilize any soldiers. After the establishment of the parliament, my
The assumption is that the Ministry of War is also under the jurisdiction of the Parliament. If troops are needed, the Ministry of War will propose it and submit it to the Parliament for review. Then I, the emperor, will sign the order. Without any of these three links, any dispatch of troops will
Everyone has been punished for treason! The emperor is no exception, what do you think?"
"Okay!" Chen Qian gave a thumbs up: "You really dare to be the first in the world and can do unprecedented things. Can you write down what we said today as evidence so as not to regret it?"
Long Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't think it's better than this. When we go to Xiangyang, gather people from all over the world, talk to them about today's events, see if they have any other ideas, unify them all, and then promulgate the first article
How about making the law known to the world?"
The first thing he did when he returned to Xiangyang was the establishment of the parliament. Long Fei had already made preparations and built a large courtyard in the center of Xiangyang City. A sign of the Imperial Parliament was hung at the door, and the official positions inside were changed.
According to the regulations of the hierarchy, a large round table was set up, and all the members sat around the round table. There was no distinction between the emperor and the common people here, but only members and staff.
Long Fei's twenty seats include members of the royal family. At present, they are basically Long Fei, his sons, the prince-in-law, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and other generals loyal to Long Fei, as well as some scribes in the court, such as Cai Yong.
Jushou, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan and others. On the side of Wumuya were four leaders, including Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, etc. The leader of Black Ice, Mu Shuang, sent a message to Black Ice across the country, calling on everyone to put down their barriers.
Cooperating with Long Fei and Wumu Ya, he recruited Zuo Ci and other Black Ice elders, plus Chen Dao, Meng Shuo, Wei Yan and other Black Ice elders to form their own organization.
The most difficult thing to do was the people's election, which took the longest time. In order to get enough people, Long Fei ordered that all people in the country could participate. With Jia Xu as the leader, he selected several people from business, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishery, and then
Nanman, Xiliang, and the Shi family were included, and ten people were finally elected. In April of the second year of the Tianlong Empire, people from all parties gathered together to hold the first parliamentary meeting in Xiangyang.
According to the decision made in Yingchuan, the first purpose of the parliament is to formulate a resolution on the restrictions on imperial power proposed by Long Fei and the laws enacted by the parliament. There are ten articles in total. The first one is to confirm the permanent status of emperor of Long Fei and the Long family.
.The second article declares the parliament to be the highest power organ of the empire. The third article allocates the parliamentary, administrative and review systems in detail, and appoints Jushou as the chief of the first review department, called Yushi Dafu. The fourth article
Article 5, adopts the number of people, proportions, election methods, and meeting times of the parliament. Article 5, determines the establishment and management of the Tianlong Empire in accordance with the county system. Article 6, stipulates the appointment, removal, and impeachment system of the emperor. Article 7, establishes the parliament, administrative
, review the distribution of power among the three departments. Article 8, the norms and procedures for the management of each department, ensure the absolute rights of the parliament. Article 9, establish the nature of the four major factions of the parliament, and the essence of the parliament. Article 10, the above nine articles
As a basic law, it stipulates the procedures and methods required to change or expand basic laws.
After everyone participating in this meeting signed their seals, the first constitution of the Tianlong Empire was officially promulgated. Starting the next day, this decree was used as the first parliamentary order and began to be transmitted to various states and counties, ordering everyone to
Read to know. The advent of this law instantly penetrated people's conclusions about the supremacy of imperial power for thousands of years and brought everyone to an unprecedented space. Many people began to be confused.
Immediately afterwards, another law on the interpretation of the Basic Law came again, and all the contents in it were explained in detail and vividly to ordinary people. The people finally understood that their emperor was doing this to make themselves live a happier life. Each of them
The prefectures and counties began to celebrate, and people from all over the country expressed their congratulations to the government. After receiving the news, Long Fei was very pleased that he had finally made a good start.
I just returned home and saw several ladies busy preparing dinner. Long Sheng came back with a girl. This girl, whom Long Fei knew, was Xu Huang's daughter, named Xu Jiao. Seeing these two people, Long Fei immediately understood
.Long Ying is already married, and her eldest son has reached the age of marriage. As a father, he seems to feel a little lonely, which shows that he is getting old.
