The first thousand two hundred and thirty-sixth chapters open the peace of the world (1)
The next day, in the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.·Chinese·Novel.
The Shiquge meeting also came to its final conclusion.
After two days of intense excitement and fierce internal strife.
The giants of various schools of thought will enjoy the fruits of their long-awaited labor and participate in political discussions!
This is also something that literati and officials long for and look forward to.
Isn’t it the purpose of guiding the country and inspiring words so that we can eventually stand at the top of the pyramid and direct national affairs?
Especially among the Confucians, people from almost all factions, from giants to disciples, were so excited that they stayed up all night last night.
Confucianism has waited too long to be tainted by authority.
Starting from Confucius, every Confucian scholar has been looking forward to the time when he and the kings and ministers would discuss politics and point out gains and losses.
But unfortunately, in the past hundreds of years, they never got the chance.
Confucius once traveled around the world, drinking and chatting with the kings of various countries.
However, the king of every country only respected him, but did not grant him power to show his talents.
Only in the state of Lu did he show his ambitions a little bit.
Hosted and completed the Qilu alliance meeting.
But this is actually of no use...
During the Mencius period, Confucianism in the new era, under the leadership of Mencius, once again launched an attack on power.
but……
Although Mencius reformed Confucianism and further improved the entire theoretical system.
However……
Mencius was born at the wrong time...
When he traveled around the world, it was the golden age of classical China.
At that time, hundreds of schools of thought interacted with each other.
The Mohist school and the Yang Zhu school are at the peak of their power. Scholars in the world are not Yang Zhu, but both the Mohist school and the Mohist school.
The Huanglao school in Jixia Academy also began to show its prominence.
At that time, the world was in the midst of an extremely exciting arms race and reform race.
The capable, experienced and ruthless Legalist bureaucrats dominate the world's war and peace.
There is no market for the doctrines and ideas advocated by Mencius.
Like Confucius, Mencius could still meet the kings of Qi, Zhao, Wei and other powerful countries.
However, it is still not the same.
Legalism held great power in Qin, Wei, Zhao, and Han.
The Huang Lao faction firmly held the land of Qi and Chu.
Among the people, Mohism and Yang Zhu School were the real overlords.
Therefore, that time, Confucianism not only failed to realize its ideals, it could even be said to have failed miserably!
Even the little-known Gaozi could become Mencius's opponent.
As for the farmer Xu Xing, Mencius felt great pressure.
After Mencius, Confucianism once again fell into silence.
Until the rise of Xunzi.
Xunzi creatively began to promote the integration of Confucianism and Legalism, and even went to Qin personally to negotiate with the rulers of Qin.
However, the Legalists said that it would be enough for the brother to have two younger brothers, the Mojia and the Nongjia, while the Confucianists could only be a concubine.
Therefore, Xunzi's efforts failed.
The merger of Confucianism and Legalism is still just an idea and has never become a reality.
As the saying goes, the less you can get, the more you want.
After hundreds of years of waiting, today, Confucians can finally have a taste of power and enjoy the joy of participating in political affairs.
Everyone is in high spirits and full of energy.
The Za family and the Moh family were also gearing up.
Only the Huang Lao School and the Legalists looked indifferent.
Of course they have reason to be indifferent.
For hundreds of years, politically, they have been winners.
Legalism, in particular, has been prosperous since the time of Shangjun.
They built the Great Wall, they also created the straight roads and galloping transportation that connects the world, and they even laid the foundation for the world's law and order.
More than one-third of the ministers in the dynasty were Legalists.
In important positions, Legalists are even more proud of others.
And Huang Laoxue was not bad either. They had been the rulers of Qi for hundreds of years.
When he arrived in the Han Dynasty, he gained the whole world.
The national system and social laws were all designed by them. Of course, they plagiarized a little bit from the Legalists, but that’s not the problem!
Perhaps Confucianism and other schools of thought would be particularly interested in discussing national affairs in Shiqu Pavilion.
But both the Legalists and the Huang-Lao School lacked interest.
The reason is simple. The issues raised at Shiqu Pavilion must be innocuous. They are probably the kind of issues that are often used as a stepping stone and warm-up in court discussions.
Liu Che picked up several issues reported by Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, looked up, and then thought about it. He needed to choose three from them as an explanation to the people of the world.
And how to choose is important.
Fortunately, Zhou Yafu's vision is very vicious.
The selected topics also meet the needs of Shiquge.
Where is Shiqu Pavilion?
The Han Dynasty version of the CPPCC!
What should the CPPCC discuss?
Of course, the people in power have already made the decision, or it may be a peripheral issue.
Take it out just for the world to applaud.
But, it’s okay to be aware of this kind of thing.
In words, of course, the words must be more euphemistic and the outline must be taller. At least on the surface, people must know that they are indeed participating in politics and guiding economic, political and cultural undertakings at the national level.
Otherwise, who will play with you?
Thinking of this, Liu Che remembered the Shiquge Meeting in the Zhaoxuan period in history.
That Shiqu Pavilion meeting could be described as a real national political meeting!
Not only did they discuss academic issues and war and peace matters, but they also directly discussed important issues involving the national economy and politics, including such major issues as whether the official management of salt, iron, and alcohol was correct!
Therefore, the Shiqu Pavilion meeting was also called the Salt and Iron Meeting!
Moreover, the Shiqu Pavilion meeting was still a success!
The local gentry launched fierce criticism and attacks on the rulers, achieved many results, and abolished many systems and laws.
Among them, the official system of wine and ironware was abolished!
Compared with the Shiquge Conference, the so-called Magna Carta Conference that later generations boasted about was at least two thousand years later!
but……
Liu Che knew very well that the Shiquge Society would end up with the ruling class frightened by it.
Therefore, after Zhaoxuan, there was no more gathering at Shiquge.
This negotiation mechanism, which could have been used as a Chinese-style negotiation and compromise mechanism for interest groups, has since ceased to exist and has become an eternal song.
It was precisely because Liu Che knew the final result of the Shiquge meeting in history.
Therefore, Liu Che knew that he wanted to make the Shiquge Society model successful.
Then, you must start with a dispensable body party.
Moreover, the society, humanities, geography and environment between China and the West are completely different.
In China, there will never be a political model similar to the so-called **** in the West, which is actually true ****.
the reason is simple.
When Westerners are unhappy, they can split up and become independent.
But in China...
The First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty are watching you.
Split?
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said it well: I am appointed by Heaven to be the father and mother of the people, how can I not save them just because I am wearing a piece of water?
Subsequently, millions of Sui troops crossed the river, and the Chen dynasty in the south was wiped out.
For the Chinese, unifying and rescuing the people who are in dire straits under tyranny is a mission given by God!
Therefore, China will never be separated!
Even if we are temporarily separated.
In one hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer, there will be a king who will raise the banner of "saving the people from water and fire" and reunify!
In such an environment, one must grasp the truth with the greatest fist.
And people who know the truth will be nagging you?
The First Emperor of Qin could seduce Confucians, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty could pee in the hats of Confucian scholars, and Taizu of the Ming Dynasty could make tens of thousands of heads fall to the ground with a wave of his hand.
Who the hell is negotiating with you politely?
If you don’t accept it, do it!
Kings with good tempers, such as Taizong of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, would probably talk to each other calmly if they had any problems.
But the grumpy Qin Shihuang, Han Gaodi and Ming Taizu will definitely be too lazy to talk nonsense with you!
The most important thing is that the public opinion of society, even the unlucky ones, will feel that this is a matter of course and a matter of course.
If the emperor does not control everything and dominate everything, is he still the emperor?
Therefore, Liu Che knew that there was no basis for the Western democratic representative system in China.
Because the systems and cultures are different, the societies and people we face are also completely different.
Just like the West, play the **** republic and the aristocratic republic.
Let a bunch of so-called senators and senators put themselves over the emperor's head.
Believe it or not, the next day, there were troops and nobles from the frontier, raising the banner of King Qin, and then people from all directions came in droves. All classes and factions in the world united, invaded Chang'an, rescued the bullied emperor, and returned home.
Rule by the emperor!
No need to look at other things, Neon later generations played a drama of honoring the king, resisting the barbarians, and overthrowing the shogunate.
Even in the new century, the King of Thailand can command the army and tell the democratically elected government to go away at any time!
Ultimately, this is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures and systems.
Just like you can grow rice in the south, but you can only choose between wheat and millet in the north.
If you plant rice from the south to the north, even if it works, how much rice can you harvest?
In Chinese politics, since ancient times, when a sage king appears, the ministers will bow their heads and the world will obey. Under the command, millions of soldiers will wear armor and bleed on oars.
But if the emperor is not capable, then he should rule from an arched position, transfer power to ministers and nobles, and become a clay sculpture himself.
However, the king's authority and authority still remain.
Unless the dynasty comes to an end, the order will not leave the palace.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the powerful ministers outside are, if a bloody edict is issued on their clothes, the army of King Qin from all directions will arrive!
You don’t need to look at anyone else, just look at Liu Che’s grandfather, Taizong of the Han Dynasty.
I remember that when Taizong first came to the throne, he only had hundreds of followers brought from Dai Kingdom.
In comparison, Guan Ying, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, and other princes and kings in the world controlled hundreds of thousands of troops and controlled all power.
The so-called emperor is just a sculpture.
However, within two years, all the meritorious deeds of the veteran were wiped out by wind and rain.
All the armies of the north and the south swore allegiance to the emperor, and the princes and kings of the world paid tribute one after another to show their loyalty.
From the great river to the Yangtze River, the whole world bows its head and all the people are respectful!
All the senior officials who once held great power were driven home to farm.
Jianghou Zhou Bo, who once held hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, was even thrown into prison and almost escaped alive!
You can say that Taizong was a rare king in the Han Dynasty who was unique in both skill and character.
What about Emperor Hui?
Emperor Hui was famously an elegant king because he was once washed with saliva by Cao Shen.
It seems that he is just a sculpture and clay doll.
But in fact, when Emperor Hui was angry, even Empress Lu had to step aside!
The kings of the West did not have this kind of power and authority at all.
They even have to be controlled by the Holy See.
Moreover, its society and country are also completely feudal.
The lords and nobles divided the country up.
When the king went to war, he even needed to borrow money and troops from the nobles.
Therefore, the future Shiquge system, no matter how advanced it develops, will at best change from the CPPCC to the National People's Congress.
Well, there is one more power to submit motions, but in reality, we can only applaud.
If it continues to develop in the future, it will not be something that Liu Che can know and predict.
But he knew that he now had to do well and maintain the system and rules of the Shiquge meeting.
the reason is simple.
If there was a Shiquge meeting mechanism, then the emperor, ministers, nobles, and local officials would have a place for negotiation and compromise.
It will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and unnecessary problems.
What's more, we can clearly convey the demands from the people, at least local interest groups, and tell the top leaders of the country and those in power that we are very dissatisfied with what you are doing!
When one party expresses dissatisfaction, the other party can naturally only choose between compromise, negotiation and compromise.
If this development continues, maybe one hundred or two hundred years later, it will continue to develop steadily, and this Shiquge meeting will become the second political stage besides the court meeting.
Moreover, in the future, it can also become a stage for negotiations and exchanges between the vassal kingdoms in Daxia, Daxia, and the Western Regions and the central government.
This is comparable to one or a few princes and kings being displeased, pulling the flag, or siding with the emperor, or simply stating that they want to be too strong!
And if you want to achieve this, how you take the first step and whether you take it well or not is crucial.
The reason why the Shiquge Meeting in history disappeared without a trace is because the first step was wrong!
Damn it, when the mountains below come up, are they going to attack us?
The ministers and nobles will definitely not be happy!
The emperor was even more unhappy!
On the top of the mountain below, people were scared to death, trembling with fear, and almost wet their pants. Who wouldn't be afraid of offending the rich and powerful, and then killing the whole family?
With this in mind, Liu Che re-examined the issues sent by Zhou Yafu. Then, he selected three of them, sealed them, handed them to Ji An next to him, and ordered: "Pass this to the Prime Minister.
Please Prime Minister, please declare to all your ministers on my behalf!"
"No!" Ji An knelt down and took the three encapsulated issues. Then, Gongshen stepped back slowly, walked slowly to Zhou Yafu in the audience, and handed the encapsulated silk books to him.
Zhou Yafu immediately took the tray respectfully and handed it to Prime Minister Nei Shi Fanxun.
The latter knelt completely on the ground, respectfully lifted the tray with both hands, and presented it in front of Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu first bowed respectfully to Liu Che and said: "I, Prime Minister Yafu, hereby honor your holy orders and read out the imperial edict!"

Maybe it’s because I caught a cold last night and my mind is a little confused today, but it doesn’t matter, it’s still the third update today!
The next chapter will be later~ (To be continued.)
