Early the next morning, the iron cavalry in the naturalized city went out in all directions, and there were Ming and Mongolian cavalry patrols outside the city and inside the city.

On the Mongolian side, inside the city was the Altan Khan guard under the control of Zhongjin Hatun patrolling, and outside the city was the western outpost headquarters of Hannaji, and the Ming army was actually mixed in - the highly pragmatic cavalry participated in the patrol inside and outside the city.

This is really an unprecedented situation, the Mongolian Kuritai Assembly actually appeared Ming army patrol, and many Mongolian nobles who came from afar were stunned.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they are surprised or not, anyway, most of the "Taiji" of these small tribes no longer have much power, and they don't dare to talk nonsense at all under the power of Hannaji, Zhongjin Hatun, Chataiji and others who have won a big victory over Tumen Khan.

Besides, Gao Pragmatism is also measured, and his horsemen mainly appear between his envoys and the place where the Kuritai Conference is held, and the Shunyi Palace, where the Kuritai Conference is held, is still guarded by the Great Khan's guards.

As for the horsemen outside the city, they are mainly guarding the east gate of the Naturalization City - Gao Qin envoy This person, whether he is cautious or afraid of death, he must leave a convenient passage for himself to escape.

Of course, the reason for the external statement is that it is convenient to keep in touch with the Hannaji tribe outside the city.

Considering that Gao Qin's envoy and Hannaji have been answering for many years, this reason seems to be reasonable.

At two o'clock, the Curitai Conference officially began in the former Shunyi Palace.

Gao Shishi, as the envoy of the Ming Emperor, not only sat in the first place, but even he sat alone on a small high platform.

This point should be explained separately, although the whole of Guihua City is the appearance of a Han-style city, but it is the same as the Yuan Zhong of Shacheng, which has Mongolian characteristics, that is, there is a separate racecourse in the city, and the area is very large, even in the "palace city".

Today's Curitai Conference was held at the racecourse in the Shunyi Palace, so it was possible to build such a small platform for Gao Shishi alone.

Gao Shishi, who was wearing a big red silk flying fish robe, sat on the high platform, looked at the large number of Mongolian magnates under the stage, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that these Mongolians have a high acceptance of reality, but they are easier to handle than our Han people...... Genghis Khan's descendants are not very competitive.

But,Don't blame me.,It's good for you for me to let you sinicize.,After the advent of the era of firearms,,You're bound to be in a situation where you're weakening all the way.,This is the general trend.。 With the backing of the Ming Dynasty, or simply integrate into the Ming Dynasty, you will still have the opportunity to maintain civilization and development, or the next Mongolia will be your future......

I'm afraid Genghis Khan could not have imagined that Mongolia would one day have no sense of existence in the world political arena and be too backward to look at the economy, right? In contrast, Inner Mongolia, which is integrated with Han culture, is simply a paradise. ”

Gao was distracted by the side, while the Curritai meeting was carried out according to the established agenda, but since it was all planned, it was not worth mentioning.

Gao Shicheng suddenly felt that he was like the Japanese emperor of a certain period of time facing his courtiers at the moment, obviously actually controlling the situation, but he didn't speak in front of people, and let the people below perform there.

However, looking at this Curritai conference, he thought of one more thing: the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Yijun, because the relationship between the two sides began to be laid out more than ten years ago, the relationship between them is not comparable to ordinary monarchs and ministers, so many things are easier to do, but this should not hide the inherent problems of the Ming system itself.

In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is a political system in which the emperor decides his word, although under the "efforts" of the civil official group, the current imperial power seems to be often suppressed by the civilian official group, but this is actually just a appearance, the root of the emperor's dictatorship has not changed, in case a Chongzhen emerges one day, regardless of your civil and military generals, he wants to kill or can be killed casually, what tradition is not good.

On the contrary, it is interesting to have a system like the Kuritai Assembly, although the Great Khan is the Great Khan, but if the Kuritai, an institution that represents the collective interests of all the nobles, is dissatisfied with it, the Great Khan will not be able to move an inch. And this Kuritai Assembly was not held permanently and fixedly, so that the Great Khan could freely exercise his authority in peacetime.

Isn't it better to have a political system that has authority but has scruples?

However, how should the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty be restricted? In case of the appearance of a "Chongzhen Holy Monarch", there is no way for the hundred officials to restrain him.

Moreover, the Mongols had a tradition of "electing a king" that had been passed down from the time of the tribal alliance, such as the Kuritai Assembly, while the Ming or Chinese tradition was not.

Since the abolition of Zen in the summer, the thinking of the world has been formed in China for thousands of years, and "the world is tied to one person" is not just a matter of one dynasty and two dynasties, and it is not easy to change!

Moreover, China's political system is prone to extremes, and it is difficult to come up with a compromise constitutional monarchy like in Europe – if the monarchy is strong, there is nothing to do with the bourgeoisie or the proletariat, and if the bourgeoisie or the proletariat is strong, then there will probably be no monarch.

However, going to extremes means that as long as there is a change in the political system, most of them will have to go through violent revolution, and violent revolution is not the route that high pragmatism is willing to choose from the beginning.

The skull hurts...... Forget it, let's put it for now, I'm not at the right time to think about it yet.

Besides, this system of the Kuritai Assembly is not perfect, at least from the perspective of the political reality of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, this system also has many problems.

For example, during Kublai Khan's implementation of the Han Law, he tried to establish the prince system of the Central Plains Dynasty at the suggestion of the Han ministers, but the Kuritai system was still in parallel with it at that time.

In the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1273), Kublai Khan appointed his eldest son Zhenjin as the crown prince, granted the crown prince the treasure, established the East Palace, and equipped the palace personnel. In the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1279), the crown prince was allowed to participate in the government.

However, after the death of the crown prince Zhenjin in December of the 22nd year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan did not officially establish a prince, but in 1293 awarded the crown prince treasure to the second son of Zhenjin in Mobei out of the town, Timur.

As a result, after the death of Kublai Khan in 1294, Timur was able to inherit the throne after the Kuritai Assembly.

In other words, the princely system that Kublai Khan tried to establish was, in a sense, the same as the nature of the Great Khan's appointed heir during the first four khans' lifetime, and the designated person still had to go through the Kuritai Assembly to inherit the throne.

This led to the formation of an "ancestral system", in which the successive Great Khans and new monarchs of the Yuan Dynasty after Kublai Khan basically followed the old rules of the ancestors, whether they succeeded to the throne smoothly or seized the throne of the Great Khan Emperor by force or coup d'état, they had to hold the Kulitai Conference attended by the Mongol nobles and court ministers.

The consequences of this were also severe, leading to frequent crises of succession to the Khan's throne. Some scholars in later generations believe that the hereditary system of the imperial throne of the Yuan Dynasty was not fully established in the first place, and the Kuritai system still has the stubborn power to interfere with the hereditary system on the issue of succession.

The hereditary system is very backward in the eyes of many descendants, but in fact, to a certain extent, the hereditary system also has its advantages, the biggest of which is that it can ensure the stability of the country.

For example, like the Ming Dynasty, on the question of "who will be the next emperor", it is completely unmistakable, because the Ming Dynasty has never abolished any prince, and there has never been such a thing as "the eldest brother is still there, and the second brother succeeds to the throne", so the ministers do not have to stand in line separately, and then the two sides fight to the death, and even make all kinds of coups and mutinies-this is equivalent to reducing the country's internal friction to a minimum.

Looking at it this way, whether it is the dictatorship of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the election of the emperor of the Mongolian Kuritai, they all have their advantages and disadvantages, and they are by no means simply good and I am bad, or I am good and you are bad.

That's it, this question is a little out of the classroom for me as a mere Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid it's still a bit out of the curriculum now, or wait until I'm qualified in the future, maybe there will be conditions to solve the problem then?
