Chapter Fifty-Three: Overseas Literature
After shooting the five elders of the Guigu, annihilating the Tufan and Turkic coalition forces, and deterring the empress Wu Cao and a series of major events, Zhou Ming took 20,000 Tianjia musketeers and stayed in Yinzhou to wait, and after getting the news of the victory, he did not react to 20,000 horses, a total of more than 40,000 people, after explaining the situation a little, the Haohao army drove east again and went to Qingzhou.

Seeing that Zhou Ming had an elite army equipped with divine weapons suddenly appeared, some literati and celebrities were very excited at the same time, and they were also very puzzled and asked: "Brother Zihua has such a heavenly soldier in his hand, why not sweep Shenzhou in one fell swoop, enter the artifact, and sweep away the demon queen Wu Mei?"
There are a few celebrities, splashing ink, and even wrote a few brilliant "Essay on Wu Xuan", which named Zhou Ming as the "Great General of Shenzhou", and crusaded against the empress Wu Cao, who had changed the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the "Tang Dynasty", and they believed that with the 20,000 heavenly soldiers in Zhou Ming's hands, it would only take three months to destroy this pseudo-Tang Dynasty.
There are also a few celebrities who are good at looking at each other's qi skills, and said in public that on Zhou Ming's head, they saw a real dragon breath, saying that he has the "Nine Heavens True Dragon Life", and he should rise up in accordance with the current situation and the people's will, so that they, the celebrities, can also be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and be the hero of the dragon......
Zhou Ming disdained all kinds of encouraging words, he just sat on the throne, and then what if he established a new dynasty? It's just another three-hundred-year-old dynasty, and he can't jump out of the dynastic cyclical law, even if he becomes an emperor, it is just to bring the risk of extinction to future generations.
Only the undefeated foundation that has been left for thousands of years is the direction he is worth working for.
"This ...... How can there be any foundation for thousands of years, even the Xia Dynasty, which is the longest in the country, has only lasted for 800 years, and it has lasted for thousands of years...... Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
One person categorically denied it, thinking that Mr. Zihua's idea was too unreliable, and he was just joking and talking in his dreams.
"How is it impossible, come and listen to my idea, and you will know that it is impossible......"
After Zhou Ming gathered hundreds of the most famous and talented celebrities together and put forward his ideas of "constitutional monarchy", "equality and democracy", "separation of powers", "parliamentary governance", "parliamentary elections", "term of office system, and the establishment of a society ruled by law", these celebrities were stunned and couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the feasibility of these systems.
In the course of in-depth discussions, some people hit the nail on the head and pointed out several core issues, such as "Is the monarch willing to hand over most of his powers?" and "Is he a 'hypocrisy' with more symbolic significance than practical significance?" "How are political parties formed? How is the National Assembly going to vote? How is the parliament operating?" and "How is supervision in place, the rule of law is fully implemented, everyone is equal before the law, and the prince is really guilty of the same crime as the common people when he commits a crime."
In addition, in order to let these literati have a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the so-called constitutional monarchy, Zhou Ming also asked someone to distribute a book he wrote with more than 500,000 words entitled "On the Constitutional Monarchy" to these scholars.
Unless there is such an enlightened monarch who can abandon some insurmountable power desires and selfishness in human nature, and smoothly implement this constitutional monarchy for 50 years to form an unbreakable political system, it will be possible to break the cyclical law of the rise and fall of dynasties and establish the so-called undefeated foundation of "thousands of years".
Moreover, there are two necessary prerequisites, which are clearly placed there:
The first premise is that there must be such an enlightened monarch, and second, there must be a field of experimentation to test the system.
If neither premise is present, everything is just a false conjecture......
At this time, Zhou Ming, in front of these scribes, took out a map, burst out the hole cards that he had hidden for a long time, and said to this map, saying that his Haiping Tian family has led dozens of families in Qingzhou, with 20 years, in the Penglai Immortal Domain, opened up hundreds of islands, and now occupies more than 1 million square kilometers of land, with a population of more than 5 million people, and is now preparing to establish an overseas united country, and is also exploring what kind of system to govern this new type of country......
Hearing this revelation, the literati in the tent all stared at him, as if they were meeting him for the first time, and they all felt that he was extremely unfamiliar.
Some people were speechless for a long time, but their expressions became extremely excited, and some people smiled wryly, pointed at Zhou Ming and scolded: "Brother Zihua, you have worked so hard to hide from us!"
After that, the literati in the account were all in high spirits, all gave full play to their wisdom, made suggestions, brainstormed, and put forward tens of thousands of constructive suggestions for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy on the 78-day march back to Qingzhou...... These 78 days, in later documentary films, called the "78 days of the constitution", historians spoke highly of it: Although these 78 days are short, the institutional progress brought to human civilization has exceeded the entire 7,800 years.
……
Two years later, on June 7.
Penglai Wonderland, the central island.
In the southern part of a medium-sized island with an area of 100,000 square kilometers, in a moon-shaped bay, a city that took five years to build, covers an area of five square kilometers, and has a number of huge domes under the high sky, on this day, under the witness of 10,000 elected representatives sent by 66 families and 100,000 citizens of the capital, His Majesty Emperor Wen, who had just turned 40, with a crown on his head and a constitution in his hand, walked to the rostrum in front of the steps of the parliament building amid the rain of flowers and the cheers of the earth, and announced a major event that will forever be recorded in history:
"From today, the cultural kingdom of our overseas community has been officially established!"
"The purpose of the establishment of the overseas cultural country is to establish a prosperous era in which everyone is equal and free! A constitutional monarchy, governing the country according to law, everyone abiding by discipline and law, and everyone being civilized and courteous...... Work together to make this overseas country a country of virtue, a country of great harmony, a country that everyone yearns for, and a country that will last forever!"
"I Tian Zihua hereby swears: I am willing to take the lead in abiding by the laws and regulations of the country, and will never bend the law for personal gain; I am willing to make a lifelong intellectual dedication to protect the peace and well-being of the people of the country; I will lead the five million subjects of the country to continue to open up, and the 66 stars and stripes of the country will be erected all over the endless islands and dominate the endless wilderness! Zihua is willing to work together with the subjects of the country, love the family and the country, everyone will contribute, everyone will not forget the original intention, make the country more beautiful, and make the country live forever!"
"Wu Tian Zihua, I am willing to encourage you together!"
Bang bang bang!
There was a burst of warm applause like a torrential rain in the audience, which lasted for a long time.
……
On the other side of the mainland, Wu Cao, who sat on the throne and was called "Tang", in the past few years, on the one hand, has also paid close attention to the latest trends in overseas countries, and has been on guard at all times; on the other hand, after sweeping away all the rebellions in the country, Wu Cao has also begun to display her political ambitions and do some practical things.
For example, she appointed talented people from poor families, rewarded farmers and mulberries, reformed the administration of officials, established a reporting system, set up reporting boxes throughout the country, and eliminated a large number of officials who were corrupt and perverted the law...... All kinds of measures have established a good reputation in the hearts of the people at the bottom.
Even so, in the past few years, there have been constant turmoil and rebellions in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still countless families who disagree with her, saying that she is against the order of the sky and reversing yin and yang!
Wu Cao, who has no mercy on the family, has not only killed the Li Zhou clan in recent years, but also successively wiped out the Li family of Zhaojun, the Lu family of Fanyang, and the Li family of Longxi.
Seeing this extremely tragic scene, some family patriarchs in overseas Wenguo persuaded Zhou Ming to intervene, saying that Wu Cao could not be allowed to slaughter the family like this again, and must send troops to stop her!
Zhou Ming shook his head and refused to send troops to rescue, because these families are actually not good birds, they are the ones who are the most powerful in annexing land and squeezing the lower class people, Wu Cao killed them cleanly, which is equivalent to cleaning up the cancer cells on the country's body, alleviating class contradictions, and the poor people at the bottom who benefit the most.
However, when Wu Cao aimed the butcher's knife at the Guangling Tian family in the name of "suspected of participating in Xu Jingye's rebellion and secretly funding the rebels", Zhou Ming couldn't do it anymore, and personally led a landing fleet with 5,000 elite musketeers to land in Yangzhou, and after defeating the imperial army with multiple rounds of firearms, he saved the Guangling Tian family, who had been besieged by the imperial army for half a month and had suffered more than half of the casualties.
Saving the Guangling Tian family, it is not Zhou Ming's bodhisattva's heart, nor is it for the sake of the Guangling Tian family and the Haiping Tian family of the same ancestry, it seems that they should be saved, Zhou Ming is not so boring, in fact, it is because his father Tian Feng, who is seriously ill in bed, has reached the point of dying, and his last wish is to hope to return to the ancestral genealogy of the Tian family, and beg Zhou Ming to bring back the ancestral genealogy.
So, after the depressed patriarch Tian Kuangna did not make much effort to get back all the ancestral genealogies, Zhou Ming boarded the clipper and brought these ancestral genealogies to his father Tian Feng as soon as possible.
Got up from the hospital bed, trembled and walked to these ancestral genealogies, touched the yellowed title page of the genealogy with his hand, and his father Tian Feng, with tears streaming down his face, knelt in front of the ancestral pai and said:
"Ancestors and ancestors! Unfilial grandson Tian Feng has brought back your spiritual position! Your souls in heaven can rest in peace! The descendants of the Tian family will no longer blame me, an incompetent sinner!"
Two days later, his father Tian Feng, passed away peacefully at the age of 59, in order to commemorate his achievements, in the genealogy merit book, Zhou Ming will be his painstaking, management of the Tian family industry hard work, and "for the Tian lineage, recapture the ancestral genealogy" these eleven words, is enough for him to be remembered by future generations, forever......
