After Jiang Jiaquan stepped down as the first assistant, it was inevitable that Yan Shenghao would take over, about this, not only Yan Shenghao himself thought so, Jiang Jiaquan didn't think that there was a more suitable candidate, before on the carriage, the meaning of Gao Yuan's words made Yan Shenghao take a reassurance, but how did the king change his hexagram in a blink of an eye?

Looking at the faces of the two adults, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing and patted Yan Shenghao on the shoulder: "Old Yan, don't worry, of course you will be the first assistant of the next session." ”

Being broken by Gao Yuan's words, Yan Shenghao's face was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, to tell you a word from the heart, I really want to be the first assistant, I am different from Mr., even if Mr. does not make this first assistant, he is also a work equal to his own body, and he can go down in history, and I, if I want to do this, I can only be in the position of the first assistant, assist the king to rule the world, and it is possible to establish a dynasty that unifies the world, this is a little careful thinking of the minister, and please forgive the king!" ”

"There is nothing to forgive, human nature, besides, with your talent and familiarity with the national policy of the Han Dynasty, of course, this position can only be done by you, what I want to say today is the future. Wei Yuan! ”

"Your Majesty is here!" He Weiyuan flashed out of the door.

"I have something to say to the two adults, no one waits, don't get close at all, you stay outside the door." Gao Yuan commanded.

"Yes!" He Weiyuan said awe-inspiring and gently closed the door.

Seeing Gao Yuan's expression, the expressions of the two people in the room also became serious, this is in Jiang Jiaquan's house, Gao Yuan is still so solemn, obviously he doesn't want any rumors to spread out.

"Sit, sit down." Gao Yuan said to the two.

"King, ...... you" Jiang Jiaquan looked at Gao Yuan with some doubts.

With a long exhale, Gao Yuan looked at the two of them and said slowly, "What I want to do." In the future, the birth of my Great Han Shoufu was no longer appointed by me, but elected by the members of the Great Council. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback, "No! Both of them spoke in unison.

"Why not?" Gao Yuan looked at the two of them with interest.

"The king, the position of the first assistant, is high and powerful. If this person is not appointed by the king, it will not mean that the king has given up the power in his hands, and in the future, there will inevitably be a lot of chaos. Jiang Jiaquan shook his head and said.

"What kind of mess can you make?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "What do you think of the current political pattern of our Han Dynasty?" The position of first assistant, can there be such authority as Qin Chu? ”

Jiang Jiaquan pondered for a moment and said, "The Qin State is centralized, and the power is highly concentrated in the hands of the King of Qin. The position of the first assistant can only be regarded as the mouthpiece of the king of Qin, and the current situation in the Qin State is somewhat special and cannot be counted. And the state of Chu is another extreme, although there is a captain, but the first assistant actually holds the military and political power, and we are a big man. It's not the same as theirs. ”

"Because there's one more Great Council!" Gao Yuan said: "With the existence of the Great Council, Shousuke's power has been greatly restricted, right? ”

"Yes. The existence of the Great Council not only limited the power of the first assistant, but also limited the power of the king. Jiang Xingquan said.

"So, Shousuke, do you think you can command the army?" Gao Yuan asked again.

"Of course not." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile.

"What about the justice system? Grand Court, Prosecutor's Office? Gao Yuan then asked.

Jiang Jiaquan thought about it and shook his head. "I can't command, because what the king has always emphasized is judicial independence, and the political hall is not allowed to interfere in it, but if you want to influence, you can still influence it somewhat."

"That's the truth!" Gao Yuan smiled: "In this way, if we big men leave me alone." So isn't it true that the government hall, the council, the army, and the judiciary are all in one system? ”

"That's true!" Yan Shenghao thought for a while, "The army, the judiciary, and the political hall are all directly responsible to the king, and the great council is a little special, they seem to be only responsible for themselves, as soon as I think of them fighting for the little interests in their own place, and scolding them in a mess, I am angry." ”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "They are only responsible for the locality, in other words, they are only responsible for the local people they represent, right?" ”

"That's right, these councilors are elected by the local people one vote at a time, if they can't work for the welfare of the local people, I'm afraid that they will have to stand aside in the next term." Yan Shenghao said.

"Yes, that's the reason, so I want to make the army, the judiciary, and the government hall all directly accountable to the Great Council during my lifetime, and not to me." Gao Yuan slowly, word by word.

With a snort, Jiang Jiaquan and Yan Shenghao both stood up.

"Think twice." The two said in unison.

The two glanced at each other, and Jiang Jiaquan said, "King, in this way, where will you put yourself?" A king without authority, can he still be a king? ”

"Why not?" Gao Yuan slowly stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a few circles, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile: "In the future, if you do anything wrong, it's none of my business, it's because you did something wrong, right?" Anyway, it won't damage the image of the Wang family, right? ”

"Your Majesty, how can you still make such a joke, the great cause has not been accomplished at the moment, Qin Chu is still there, if this point of view of yours is thrown out, the world will definitely be in chaos." Jiang Jiaquan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"That's why I'm going to talk to you two behind closed doors!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Let me first tell you why the future chief assistant will be elected by the Great Council, there are two reasons, first, if the first assistant is appointed by the king, then, how can you guarantee that my appointment must be correct?" ”

Seeing that Yan Shenghao was about to speak, Gao Yuan waved his hand, and continued: "Okay, I know what you have to say, even if I am wise and martial, I will definitely not be mistaken, but can you guarantee that my successor will be like me?" Take 10,000 steps back, even if the king of the Han after me is a good guy, what about after that? Both of them are well-educated people, and what is the reason for the fall of countless dynasties in history? A faint monarch is enough for a strong dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline and decline in a short period of time? ”

The two were speechless.

"The second reason, what is the responsibility of Shousuke? Govern the world's political affairs. And what does our councillor represent? They represent the interests of the people everywhere, in other words. They represent the will of the people of the world, and if a prime minister doesn't even believe you, how can you govern smoothly? Not to mention anything else, according to the national policy of our Han Dynasty, the bill you come up with will not pass it in the big parliament at all. So how can we govern the world? Therefore, Shousuke must have the support of the majority of the members of the council before your decree can pass the world. ”

The two of them were silent, knowing that what the king said was true, but this was completely contrary to their previous concept.

"The king, even if the first assistant can be selected by the councillors, the king must not delegate power. Otherwise, there will be a risk of change in the future. Jiang Jiaquan said.

"How did it change?" Gao Yuan smiled and said: "When my vision is fully realized, my throne will become a symbol. The symbol of the country does not have much power, who wants to be this king? It's better to fight for this first assistant! ”

The two people in front of them, one who was about to step down and the other who was about to take office, all looked at Gao Yuan with tears and laughter.

"Besides, how can things change under this system? The first assistant must be chosen by the Minister. The parliamentarians also represent the interests of the people everywhere, and if this chief assistant can get the support of the vast majority of parliamentarians. What he represents is the interests of all the Han people, don't you say? Isn't that much better than the king's word? ”

"Speaking of the military, the Ministry of Defense has military powers, but they do not have the right to transfer troops without authorization, and whether to send troops to fight or not must be proposed by the political affairs hall. Now our army does not have an independent logistics system, and their salaries and material replenishment depend on the government, even if someone wants to cause chaos. Without money and food, will anyone listen to him? What's more, with the improvement of the law step by step and the promotion step by step, everyone knows the provisions of the law, and when the time comes, can he mobilize troops? ”

"In the past two years, I have been trying my best to improve the status of the Supreme Court and the Procuratorate, hoping that they will become another force that stands with the political hall and the army in the future, and they are the force that supervises the army and supervises the political hall."

"The separation of powers, the Great Council will become the decision-maker, and the king will become the symbol of the country, this is the final pattern of the Han Kingdom in my dream, only in this way can we ensure the eternal prosperity of my Han Dynasty, and the descendants of my Gao family will not follow in the footsteps of the kings of the past dynasties, and one day be overthrown to the ground and become the laughing stock of history."

"Of course, you don't have to worry, I also know that this matter is very important, I won't be in a hurry, I'm still young, just a year old, even if I only live to be seventy years old, I still have forty years to do this, but, a lot of work, we have to start doing it now, slowly, imperceptibly let the officials, the people accept this fact step by step, you see, now we are implementing the county official election system, isn't it very well implemented in various places? After that, it's the county governor! Gao Yuan smiled.

"Lao Yan, the election will start from the beginning of your term, in addition to you, I am also ready to launch Wu Qi to run with you, of course, Wu Qi's term is purely a companion, he can't elect you, but the second term, it's not for sure, it depends on how you do in this term!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Tenure?" Yan Shenghao was a little strange, he didn't care about the election with Wu Qi, if he lost to Wu Qi, it would be a strange thing.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang has been with me for ten years, and I am going to take it as a term of two first assistants, one for five years, and a maximum of two consecutive terms." Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Jiaquan, "Because Mr. Jiang has only been in office for ten years, I don't want that in the years to come, the tenure of that first assistant will exceed the time that Mr. assists me." ”

Jiang Jiaquan couldn't help but be moved to tears for a while.

"Thank you, King!" Again, he slumped to the ground.

"Sir, please." Gao Yuan helped Jiang Jiaquan up, "There are a lot of things to do next, we have to come step by step, and some details have to be discussed with the two of you." (To be continued......)
