Chapter 678: King of Luzon Han (19)
Su Jin has governed Luzon for so many years, and he has gradually understood the role of the Assembly.
In Luzon's political system, democratic politics was practiced rather than democratic politics.
The common people had the right to participate in the discussion of politics, but the direction of politics itself was controlled by the Luzon general's office.
Liu Ximing has a deep impression that democracy can be bought and sold.
In a society where the number of people who eat melons is absolutely large at any time, it is simply wishful thinking to expect these people to elect the most suitable leader for the development of the country.
As long as capital or other political forces are a little clever induced, these melon-eating masses will go astray.
Therefore, there has long been a consensus in Luzon on this, and the people can participate in politics, but the specific governance still has to be decided by the elite.
As his narration unfolded, the courtiers in the palace gradually gained a very clear understanding of the political practice of the Luzon Assembly.
At this moment, not only Liu Zongzhou, but also Sun Chuanting, Huang Daozhou and others were all attracted to it.
Liu Xi ordered the Praetorian Guards to find a mat and let everyone sit on the ground to discuss the matter.
"According to my practical experience in Luzon, the assembly house plays an important role in national politics."
"First of all, he raised the awareness of the whole people about their citizenship, and everyone is not only for the sake of the king and himself, but also for the benefit of society as a citizen."
"Secondly, with the supervision of the Assembly, the government's revenue and expenditure plans must be completely supervised by the people, if you want to collect more taxes, the people will not agree to it, and there will never be a Ming State arbitrary tax increase."
Su Jin glanced at Liu Ximing as he spoke, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Liu Ximing said with a smile: "Look at what Gu does, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, it's nothing more than restricting the monarch's power." ”
"Hey, hey, hey"
Su Jin smiled a little embarrassedly.
"The king of Han specifically instructed that in the future, the king's expenses should also be included in the scope of deliberation of the assembly house, so that the previous checks and balances of the monarchy of scholars and doctors in China will be changed to the checks and balances of the monarchy by the people, so as to truly achieve the goal of making the king virtuous."
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others were really shocked at this moment.
Not only was it shocked, but there were also incomparable doubts in my heart.
Liu Zongzhou couldn't care about Liu Ximing anymore, and looked directly at Liu Ximing and said:
"Liu, King of Han, since ancient times, all the monarchs have worked hard to strengthen the monarchy, and Taizu has directly abolished the prime minister, why do you specifically let people restrain the monarchy?"
Huang Zongxi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Liu Zongzhou's title, and his eyes looked at Liu Ximing even more adoring.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that King Han would convince his teacher so easily, this ability is really amazing.
Huang Zonghui touched Huang Zongxi's arm and said in a low voice:
"This is the way of the immortal saint, can the elder brother understand the younger brother?"
Huang Zongxi nodded violently, his eyes full of tears.
To Jun Yao Shun, and then make the customs pure.
This is the greatest wish of Chinese scholars for thousands of years.
Seeing that this wish was about to be fulfilled at the moment, Huang Zongxi had other ideas.
On the throne, in the face of Liu Zongzhou's question, Liu Ximing took a deep breath and pondered and replied:
"Because I love my country and my people more than I love my own family."
"Boom"
This sentence surpassed all the shocks and condensed into the most simple patriotic spear and nationalist sword, which pierced the hearts of everyone present.
"King Han!"
The ministers who were originally seated, and the Praetorian Guards standing inside and outside the Bao Block Hall all fell to their knees with tears in their eyes and bowed their heads.
Liu Ximing simply stood up with his hands in his hands, his face was as bright as a saint.
"When the heavens descend on me, China will make me glorious to mankind. However, there are no kings in the past dynasties who can understand the will of heaven, and they are bent on greedy for selfish interests, so that China has experienced several tribulations. ”
"The way to heaven is to make our Chinese civilization stand on top of the world forever, illuminate the light of civilization for the people of the world, and make all living beings not suffer from chaos."
"If you want to do this, you must refrain from self-denial, and only by being able to restrain your desires can you achieve the great harmony of the world, and please help you alone."
At the end of speaking, Liu Ximing bowed his hand and bowed.
A loud shout rang out in the Imperial Palace.
"The ministers swear to follow!"
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others were in tears, and the mustard in their hearts quietly disappeared.
After this experience, hundreds of monarchs and ministers only felt that their hearts were happy and their spirits were united.
At this time, everyone was looking around and laughing from the bottom of their hearts.
Since then, the Imperial Palace has almost become a policy question and answer meeting for Liu Ximing's monarchs and ministers, and hundreds of ministers have pulled Liu Ximing to ask and answer questions, directly clarifying the national policies and thoughts of the entire Han Dynasty.
Objectively speaking, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others still disagree with what Liu Ximing later said about governing the country according to law and rejuvenating the country with things.
However, on such an occasion, even if you don't agree, you don't have the same unwarranted disgust and resistance as before.
As for Dou Yuquan, Chen Zilong and others, they are even more firm in their hearts.
The first fusion of the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty was quietly completed here.
In the dormitory, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong, who were helped back, suddenly heard a movement outside the palace.
When I opened the door, I saw a group of soldiers dressed in Luzon straight-row military uniforms and barrel hats walking towards the forbidden place of the palace.
As soon as the general who led the group of soldiers walked to the palace gate, he immediately snapped and stood upright, beating his chest with his right hand and saluting.
"Luzon Army, Qu Chang Wei Yicheng was ordered to change the guard and take over the palace ban."
Yang Fei, the general of the Praetorian Guard who was in charge of guarding outside the palace gate, also followed and saluted.
"Received, according to the instructions, the change of guard is granted."
After finishing speaking, Yang Fei immediately commanded the soldiers to line up, and nearly three hundred soldiers ran briskly from all the checkpoints and assembled into a phalanx at the gate of the palace.
Yang Fei shouted the slogan fiercely:
"All of them, turn backwards."
"Huh"
The three hundred people turned around in unison and headed towards the palace gate where Zhu Cihong and the others were standing.
Yang Fei walked to the front of the queue a few times, took a deep breath and said loudly to Zhu Cihong:
"Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guard's mission has been completed, evacuate today, please take care of your Majesty."
"Salute!"
The three hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers gave a military salute to Zhu Cihong in unison.
The tears in Zhu Cihong's eyes couldn't help but burst out again.
The once glorious Da Ming is really gone.
With the overall change of guard of the Praetorian Guard, the personal guard battalion led by Li Biao took over the defense of the Wuchang Palace from Jiang Deshen.
The people of Wuchang City suddenly discovered that the soldiers of the Ming army who were originally responsible for guarding the major city gates were quietly replaced by groups of soldiers wearing different military uniforms.
Although the uniforms are all red, the uniforms of the Ming army are obviously not as handsome and majestic as the uniforms of the newly reassigned soldiers, which suddenly attracted a lot of discussion among the people.
In the past year, the troops led by Cao Bianjiao and others have also become closer to the people.
Relying on this, many people immediately went to inquire.
"Master Jun, where did you come from? What about the original people, the imperial court has changed its military uniform? ”
The young soldier who was questioned kept his posture upright and said without turning his head:
"Please read tomorrow's Central Plains News."
Now the people in the city are even more curious, but they can't ask anything when they ask around.
As a result, it was not until the next morning that the Central Plains Newspaper had just begun to sell, and a group of people flocked to buy it directly.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Liu Ximing, the lord of Luzon, officially resigned from the post of prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and Marquis of Bowang, and is scheduled to hold a ceremony to claim the title of king on Huanghu Mountain on July 16."
"Come and see, Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong, Zheng Jingcai and others from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies issued a document to swear allegiance to Luzon, and the former Taishi Sun Chengzong, Yang Yipeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others issued a document of allegiance."
That's right, Sun Chuanting and others finally couldn't stand it under Liu Xi's preaching.
Faced with the prospect of recreating a prosperous era, few literati can resist the temptation.
The news in the Central Plains newspaper was like a thunderbolt, which suddenly sounded directly on the land of China.
The north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, all set off stormy waves.
The Ming Dynasty, which originally seemed to be quite strong, died like this?
It's not right, after all, the Luzon people said that the Ming Kingdom is still there, and Luzon intends to rely on the expulsion of the Tartars to take the destiny of heaven, which has nothing to do with the Ming Kingdom.
"The sky has changed", in Wuchang City, many people muttered to themselves.
