Yang Qing still maintains a trace of respect for Yongli.

If he could be converted......

No matter what the purpose was, as long as he removed the emperor title and returned to the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, then Yang Qing would not mind giving Liangguang a de facto secession right for the time being. The development of Daming in the past two years has somewhat exceeded his expectations, especially the two large number of people who have entered capitalism in a big way, which is very unexpected.

After all, the strength of Liangguang is limited.

They are suitable for secession, but to be able to threaten him would be a joke.

Yang Qing has already tolerated a bunch of separatist regimes and doesn't care about one more, as long as it is still considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, King Gui and King Qin are the same, they are both vassals of the Ming Emperor. In particular, the gentry of Liangguang were the first to step out of the colonization, which was indeed a surprise to him, so that while conniving at Li Zicheng's expansion to the Western Regions, and conniving at King Gui's expansion to the South Seas, he was just reaping the benefits later. If King Gui was a vassal then the port of Haxian would definitely be open to the Nanyang Company, and the port of the fortress had been officially put into use, and in exchange he could also allow the merchant ships of Liangguang to go north and cross the Taiwan Strait.

The result is a race for expansion and maritime trade.

Or competition.

As for the future......

Does he need to care about the future?

Could it be that the strength of Liangguang can still stop the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops surging south? As long as the internal reform is completed, no matter which separatist forces in the world are scum in front of the Ming army. The gap between the population and the source of troops is too big, so big that no matter who it is, the Ming Dynasty, which has a population of more than 100 million, is crushing.

In short, Yang Qing just pretended not to know about Ding Kuichu's arrival, and the rest was the continuation of the meeting of the Four People's Congress, and soon the election of the Standing Committee was completed, with a total of ninety-nine permanent representatives. In fact, there was not much difference in the proportion of the four people elected in the end, with 23 representatives of scholars, 27 representatives of farmers, 26 representatives of craftsmen, and 23 representatives of merchants. Together, they formed a standing committee, which was stationed in Nanjing after the end of the Four People's Congress to supervise the administration of the imperial court, and Yang Qing, as the representative of Princess Kunxing, was naturally promoted to the Yang committee.

But he doesn't have the right to vote.

He himself is not a representative of the four peoples, but only serves the representatives of the four peoples.

In short, the Standing Committee was born.

This does not require the emperor's approval.

The next topic is how the Four People's Congress exercises its right to supervise the government.

The current system of the Ming Dynasty is that the cabinet decides on state affairs in a meeting, and then the results of the meeting are submitted to the supervising country for final ruling. In the past, the emperor transferred the results to the cabinet to study countermeasures, and the cabinet reported the results to the emperor, who approved them and handed them over to the six departments for distribution. This reversal of the order means that the cabinet has changed from a secretarial body of the emperor to a real state decision-making body, and the emperor or the current prison state has become a referee, similar to the Wa state during the Meiji period.

The judgment results of the emperor or the prison state are still drafted by the celebrant and the celebrant to make a holy decree, and then handed over to the six proofreaders for issuance.

Proofreading, of course, is theoretical.

But in fact, it all turned into an audit in the later stage.

The six subjects will not care whether the holy decree is smooth or not! If they think that the content is unreasonable, they will not seal it, and if they do not seal it, the holy decree will not conform to the rules, and if the holy decree is not in accordance with the rules, then the various Shangshu have the right to ignore it.

This is the special power of the six branches.

So where should the supervision of the Four People's Congresses be supervised?

Yang Qing's plan is to abolish the six subjects.

The meeting of the cabinet is already attended by all the ministers, and whether they agree or not, they will submit it to the supervising state for adjudication in accordance with the rules, which is already their agreement to accept the ruling of the supervising state. Then the audit of the six departments is a pure waste, and there is no need to go through this link again, so simply revoke the six departments, and then send the holy decree directly to the six departments. However, some major matters involving finance, the appointment and dismissal of cabinet members, the formulation of laws, foreign wars, and so on, must first be discussed by the Standing Committee of the Four People's Congress, and if the Standing Committee of the Four People's Congress does not agree, then it has the right to seal it back.

For these specific matters, the emperor or the prison state could not bypass the Four People's Assembly.

The rest doesn't matter.

This supervisory power is very domineering, which means that in these important matters, the emperor must also listen to the Four People's Assembly. In fact, this has gone beyond the purpose of the establishment of the Four People's Congress, which is theoretically only an institution convened by the Prison State, conveying the will of the people to the Prison State, and supervising the administration of the imperial court.

But now this is actually suppressing the imperial power.

Of course, for those civil officials, they knew at a glance that this was the noose that Yang Qing had prepared for the Son of Longxing, and the Four People's Congress listened to him, and if the Son of Longxing wanted to change the ministers, he only needed the Four People's Congress to disagree, so that none of the ministers in the cabinet and military could move. Similarly, when the Son of Heaven came back, he did not have the power to use the funds of the Ministry of Accounts and the Inner Treasury, the latter itself was in the hands of Zhang Yan, and even the account of the Imperial Bank was in Zhang Yan's name, and the money of the Ministry of Accounts was somewhat approved by the Four People's Assembly. The appointment and dismissal of the generals of the garrisons in various places had been handed over to the Organization Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion before, and unless the Son of Longxing changed the head of the Organization Department, Li Yutian, he could not even change the generals of the army, and the change of the head of the Organization Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion still had to be approved by the Four People's Congress.

As for him wooing Li Yutian......

Don't be funny, this bastard is the core henchman of Yang Qing's subordinates, everyone knows that he is actually Yang Qing's dog-headed military advisor, equivalent to Li Zicheng's Niu Jinxing Song Xiance, it is estimated that even the layout of this set of overhead emperors was planned by him.

This is not to give Longxing Tianzi any chance.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard is not a cabinet minister, the son of Longxing can be replaced, theoretically he can dismiss Yang Qing's Jinyi Guard's commander, and then replace it with his cronies, such as Chang Yanling, a theoretical colleague. But the problem is that Jin Yiwei is Yang Qing's direct cronies from top to bottom, and even fanatical believers, who dares to take Yang Qing, it is estimated that he will not be able to see the sun the next day.

Isn't it easy for the Secret Service assassins to kill such a fool?

Absolutely no traces.

Chang Yanling is estimated to be not so stupid, he is also quite comfortable as a rich man, there is no need to become Yang Qing's enemy and be accidentally destroyed.

That is to say, after coming back, Longxing Tianzi has no financial dominance, no military power, and no control over Jinyiwei, so he can only be a puppet, a puppet of the cabinet in theory. This should have been the dream of the Donglin sages, who were originally trying to turn the emperor into a puppet of the cabinet. But it's a pity that the current cabinet is controlled by Yang Qing, even if the reformed cabinet is still the same, the vast majority of cabinet ministers have been replaced by Yang Dang, and Donglin Qunxian only has four cabinet books. Yang Qing turned the emperor into an ornament with the cabinet, and then used the Four People's Assembly to prevent the emperor from changing his ministers, and finally the emperor came back, and his power was still solid.

So what else can the emperor do?

Even spending money has to be approved by the Four People's Assembly!

He didn't have the money to buy it, the money of the royal family was in Zhang Yan's hands, Zhang Yan took care of the death of the son of Longxing, and the return of this nephew seriously affected her and Yang Qing's happy life. And Zhang Yan controls the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, because she pays for all these people, which means that after the son of Longxing comes back, even the palace maids and eunuchs can't control it.

Zhang Yan didn't sign, and Han Zan, who was in charge of palace affairs, couldn't take out two pieces of silver on Monday.

It's all in the vaults of the Imperial Bank.

It's all on Zhang Yan's account.

As one of the major shareholders of the Imperial Bank, Zhang Yan built a huge silver vault with cement and granite under this new palace, which is said to be filled with more than 10 million taels of silver ingots and more than 1 million taels of gold ingots.

And Wang Chengen will miss the old love.

This is very likely, his feelings for Chongzhen needless to say, and he will definitely maintain a certain loyalty to Chongzhen's son.

But Wang Chengen's General Taxation Department, all taxes are also handed over to the Ministry of Households, which is the state revenue and not the emperor's private property, if he dares to use it privately, Yang Qing will dare to take him down, and the crimes of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are also under the control of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu. The rest of the royal family's corporate investment is all in Zhang Yan's personal name, and the final income is also owned by Zhang Yan personally.

What can the emperor do when he comes back?

With no money and no soldiers, what else can he do but be an ornament?

Speaking of Yang Qing's noose, that is to tie Longxing Tianzi into zongzi!

But the question is......

"Against? How to object? What is the point of opposition? ”

Zhang Guowei said.

Indeed, there is no point in opposing it.

No matter how much they oppose it, it is impossible for them to influence the vote of the Four People's Congress, and no matter what they do, they cannot change the fact that they control 25 percent at most, and the remaining 75 percent belongs to Yang Qing. In particular, after the last vote on the reform of the imperial examination, there are fewer and fewer fools who continue to be fooled by the scholars' representatives, and after the scholars' representatives insisted that the permanent representatives must be able to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, such fools basically disappeared.

It is said that the peasant representative who represented the priest with a face of tea was in support of the scholar representative in the last vote, but this time the scholar representative asked him to read the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Let him read the Four Books and the Five Classics?

He doesn't know a thousand words in total!

You can't bully people like this, your eating appearance is too ugly, don't I just come from a tenant and don't know how to read, and I studied hard after I arrived in Nanjing, and finally I didn't know a thousand words? You still humiliate me like this, and honest people can't help it!

The ugly appearance of the Shizi representatives finally alerted the vast majority of those who were fooled by them.

"Do you just sit back and watch?"

Qu Shiyun said unwillingly.

"Sit and watch, just continue to sit and watch, watch him act recklessly, we don't need to fight for this, just let them, as long as the Son of Longxing is still in the capital, even if the dissolution of the Four Peoples Conference is just an edict!"

Zhang Guowei sneered.
