Chapter 278 The king is under the law

(乹wei, be diligent and tireless, and move forward. After thinking about the above paragraph for a long time, I still feel that it is borrowed from the "Book of Songs·Daya·Wang Wen".

In addition, the four words "Ji Ji Toast" are from the original text. This is not a repetition, but a superimposed tone. Just like we say "very, very much".)

Zhang Hao is also standing on the second step, at the same height as Zhao Duo. Today, only Liu Xinyu and the guards around him can stand at the top.

Listening to Zhao Duo's majestic voice, Zhang Hao was very impressed: He is indeed a talented person to be the prime minister, and his voice has its own exaggeration.

The edict is very brief, but its meaning is very thought-provoking.

This time, there was no talk of accepting one's destiny from heaven. Instead, he said "the destiny of heaven is everlasting" and added, "the destiny is renewed". The translation of this sentence, using a phrase that everyone is familiar with, is: the destiny of heaven is not enough to be feared, and the ancestors are not enough to follow the law.

!I am going to change my destiny today!

Then he said: The reason why the country of Qixia was able to turn danger into safety this time was not because of destiny, but because of the fate of the soldiers. Everyone worked together to resist the invasion. The reason why our country was restored and stable was because of fighting! It was not a reward from destiny.

Finally, the empress, who is diligent and enterprising, dignified, noble and generous, has ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor. The empress' name is: Faith - and this is also the empress's character, past, present and future.

Every emperor has his own "title", and Liu Xinyu's "emperor title" is "Xinde". Integrity and kindness.

After Zhao Duo finished speaking, he changed the imperial edict and took out the second volume of "Imperial Edict". But the word "Imperial Edict" was not written on this edict, but "Constitution".

Zhao Duo spoke again, "The imperial constitution is the outline of the country. It says: rule the country by law, govern the country according to law, establish a constitutional monarch, and the king is under the law!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people were in an uproar. This was even more shocking than the Queen's ascension to the throne.

But those who had some understanding of national politics were shocked by these twenty-five words. Especially the last one, "The king is under the law," is groundbreaking.

Liu Xinyu stood high up, with a calm face and a faint, majestic smile. As a queen, she had to make some compromises if she wanted to secure her position.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xinyu indeed has a mind, vision, and ambition that countless emperors can only dream of!

How can you become a representative of a class? Aloof? That's impossible! An emperor who is aloof must be the enemy of everyone! He is a real loner.

Everything in this world is like a kite. No matter how high it flies, it needs a rope to hold it. This is the root, the responsibility, and the core of a country.

The only pleasure of a superior emperor is to scheming with the country under his rule. He is on the opposite side of his country and will forget his country's responsibilities.

Only an emperor who stands on earth can truly lead the country forward. Such an emperor is the commander-in-chief.

Sometimes, giving up does not mean giving up. Because giving up, you get more.

In fact, Liu Xinyu was not sure whether what she did was correct; but Zhang Hao's explanation made sense. The most important thing was that Liu Xinyu had seen the situation in Qixia Country in the past, and also seen the situation in other countries. Everyone was in the same place.

Turn in circles.

No matter how bad it is, how bad can it get! Take a gamble!

Everyone knows what the country of Qixia was like in the past - half dead.

Zhang Hao's suggestions are almost certainly not feasible in other countries. No emperor wants to be restricted. The laws of every country are "king's law", and the so-called king's law serves the emperor.

, the emperor is the core of royal law.

Therefore, the king is above the law!

But Liu Xinyu accepted Zhang Hao's suggestion. Because the country of Qixia could no longer get worse, the country of Qixia did not have many choices, and Liu Xinyu had been indoctrinated with the concept of "national crisis" since she was a child. In addition, a series of recent wars

Waiting, finally contributed to Liu Xinyu’s decision:

Constitutional monarchy, the king is under the law!

The law at this moment is no longer royal law; of course in this world, it cannot be regarded as civil law. It can only be said to be the 'Constitution'.

As these twenty-five words were read out, Xu Jie, who was standing not far from Zhang Hao, trembled with excitement. He put his hands together and tried to restrain his excitement.

As a disciple of Legalism, Xu Jie was eager to make some contribution. But Xu Jie did not expect that in the most remote corner of the known world, with his help, a constitution and a constitutional monarchy would be born.

This is the pinnacle moment of Legalism. The establishment of a constitutional monarch and the king under the law have surpassed the legalist ideological system in the past. Xu Jie can’t wait to return to the East now and say loudly to his friends, brothers and teachers: I created the

A new era!

Well, in fact, half of the contribution to this new change should be attributed to Zhang Hao. But this does not prevent Xu Jie from being excited.

Zhao Duo paused for a long time, waiting for the exclamation below to gradually calm down, before continuing to read aloud: "Article 1 of the Constitution: The legal property of citizens is sacred and inviolable.

Article 2 of the Constitution: Repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with kindness!

Article 3 of the Constitution: The country is governed by law, and the country is governed by law. The king is under the law, and everyone must act in accordance with the law.

Article 4 of the Constitution: The state encourages the development of legal industry and commerce.

Article 5 of the Constitution..."

Zhao Duo stood in front of the stage and read aloud the first constitution in history. Perhaps many of it still have primitive colors, but after all, this is the constitution, not the king's law.

Millions of people at the scene were shocked at the beginning and cheered at the end. Most of them may not know much about the legal system, but at least they knew that this new queen was different and was thinking about everyone.

A constitution was read out for half a day. This constitution includes the country's legal system, national system, national structure, development direction, etc. In particular, it clearly stipulates that the definition of taxation is: taken from the people and used for

civil.

In the Constitution, soldiers are more clearly defined, their rights are guaranteed, and the military service system for all people is stipulated. Taking into account the situation in the world, the Constitution stipulates that all people over the age of 18, regardless of gender, high or low, are eligible for military service.

They must undergo three-month military training once every three years. Once a crisis of national subjugation occurs again, the entire population can join the army.

At the end of the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Duo announced that talents would be selected from among the private sector. After unified training, those who passed the exam would be assigned to various positions in the country.

After a war, the officials in Qixia suffered huge losses and could no longer guarantee the basic operation of the country; in addition, a large number of families were liquidated, and most of the remaining families acted non-violently and non-cooperatively, which forced Liu Xinyu to

Another drastic reform.

Does your aristocratic family control talents? Sorry, we have found a new way to govern the country - from now on, we will no longer rely on people to govern, but on the law.

Yes, even running the country according to the law requires talents, but because of the law, officials only need to exercise their duties in accordance with the law. This is much simpler and greatly reduces the requirements for officials.

It can even be said that in an environment where the country is governed by law, it is best for officials to be stupid and not learn to exploit loopholes in the law and abuse power for personal gain every day.

The enthronement ceremony ended at noon, and Liu Xinyu and the officials left one after another; but the people stayed here and talked about it.

This was an unprecedented coronation ceremony. Instead of offering sacrifices to heaven, the Queen made public a constitution and established a people-centered social system.

This is a huge progress. Although many people were pleasantly surprised for a while, they did not realize what it meant.

Civilization has begun to enter a new stage. And the country of Qixia has led this new era.

The eyes of the industrial and commercial class all shone brightly. Many of these people had been in contact with the Ocean Group for a long time and had heard some opinions. When they heard the contents of the constitution, they cheered the most.

There is no mention of aristocracy in the constitution - Liu Xinyu dare not say openly and openly for the time being, 'I am opposed to aristocracy'. But it is not mentioned in the constitution, which is a statement in itself - there will never be any mention of aristocracy in the country of Qixia in the future.

Noble.

But it was said that after Liu Xinyu and others returned to their temporary base, they began to discuss the issue of establishing a capital.

Some people said to build on the old site; some said to find another location, which was originally ominous; some said to simply move the capital directly and move the capital eastward to "Jianwu County".

Jianwu County, this name is good, and moving the capital to the east can also show the Queen's prowess. Especially since we have just defeated the Kingdom of Jinyang, the significance of our capital move this time is extraordinary.

Everyone quarreled, but in the end Liu Xinyu made the decision: "Move the capital to Jianwu County! Order the Ministry of Industry to start selecting a location to build the capital."

Liu Xinyu was convinced, and there was a wave of praise immediately.

But Liu Xinyu's eyes drifted to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you don't seem to have spoken during this discussion?"
