As a soul from later generations, Su Changqing certainly knows what democracy is better than anyone in this era. And after four or five years as emperor, he also had a more personal view of the word democracy.

For example, he now thinks that as a political system cannot exist independently of the economic foundation of the whole society, and it is as absurd to expect a political system formulated by human beings to solve all the problems of human society as it is to believe that God can solve all human suffering.

For the ruler of a country, democracy is a tool for him to listen to the voices of all segments of society, and it is also a tool for rulers to govern the country. For the ruler of a country, it is clear that the latter is more important to him.

Mongolia's Kuritai Congress has in essence already had the rudiments of democratic political discussion among various Mongolian tribes. Since all Mongolian tribes were able to defend their own tribes' rights and interests at the Kuritai Congress, and tribes that broke away from Mongolia were more likely to be eliminated and annexed by other tribes, Genghis Khan used the Kuritai Congress to control the largest empire in the feudal era.

When Kublai Khan put an end to the Kuritai Congress, the Mongol ministries lost a place to reach a consensus to defend their rights and interests, and the vast Mongol empire was torn apart. Of course, compared with the perfect parliamentary democracy of later generations, the Kuritai Assembly was more like a baby that had just landed, so its demise did not cause reflection among the Mongol tribes.

Zhu Youzhen convened the Kuritai Conference on behalf of the Mongolian tribes in order to use this ancient Mongolian tradition of deliberation to establish a Mongolian parliament to serve the Ming Dynasty, but he did not intend to make the Mongolian tribes re-condense a Mongolian consensus.

However, fortunately, there has never been a lack of great courage in political exploration in the history of mankind, and many countries and nations have used their lives to verify what a failed democratic system is.

Therefore, while Zhu Youzhen was reforming the Kuritai Congress, he easily recommended Polish-style democracy to the representatives of the Mongolian tribes. The essence of Polish-style democracy lies in two things: the free elect of the monarchy and the free veto.

Although the Mongol Khan could only be selected from the bloodline of the Golden Family, it ensured that the Mongol Khan could only be elected from the parliament in the future, and that the previous Khan would not have the final say.

With Chongzhen's support, the majority of parliamentary deputies passed a bill that deprived the Mongol Khan of his direct command over the Great Horde's army, reorganized the Great Horde into the Mongolian People's Army, limited to 5,000 men, and swore allegiance to the Mongol parliament and the Chinese monarch.

Although some representatives of the Chahar tribe tried to oppose it, for most of the clan representatives, it was clearly welcome to weaken the power of the Great Khan and the Chahar tribe when the throne of the Great Khan became vacant, and the bill was quickly passed.

The free veto of any member of parliament to veto bills is more popular with the representatives of small clans, who realize that their tribe has the same power as other tribes, and some of the more radical delegates openly shouted at the congress: "Only the free veto can put an end to the current fragmentation of the Mongolian tribes and make us a complete Mongolia again..."

By the fifth day of the meeting, Zhu Youzhen had already obtained everything he wanted from this Kulitai conference. The delegates of the Kuritai Congress also voted to become members of the Mongolian local council, and decided to re-elect representatives for each flag every six years, and the Mongolian left-wing departments headed by Chahar were organized into 14 flags, which were merged with the current Mongolian right-wing 19 flags into 33 flags, and each flag could elect 3 representatives, a total of 99 parliamentarians.

When discussing major political issues involving the Mongolian local council system itself and the election of the Mongolian Great Khan, each flag has only one vote, that is, the three deputies have the same attitude to be valid, and as long as there is one vote against the bill, it cannot be passed. However, in the case of minor matters related to the lives of ordinary people, such as civil affairs and taxation, the members of the parliament shall vote according to their own wishes in accordance with the principle that the minority obeys the majority.

Finally, the delegates agreed that those tribes that were unable to attend the conference, even if they send representatives in the future, would need a probationary period during which they would not be allowed to vote. At the end of the probationary period, the flags recognized by the Mongolian local councils can only have two seats.

At this point in the meeting, most of the issues have been resolved and should have ended. However, there are still representatives who are still unsatisfied, and always feel that they should take advantage of such a great opportunity to do something. It was suggested that the congress should be used to draw up a code of law for the Mongol tribes to regulate conflicts between tribes and tribes.

The former hoped to establish the Yellow Sect as the orthodox faith of the Mongolian tribes, while the latter hoped to establish a Mongolian civil code based on the general code of the Ming civil law, so as to restrain the power of the various ministries and abolish some cruel and barbaric punishments.

However, after hearing about this proposal, Zhu Youzhen decided to support it after thinking twice. He suggested, however, that, with the exception of some specific legal provisions, the systematic codification work should be carried out by the Mongolian Codification Group, which would be composed of scholars from various Mongolian ministries, prominent elders, and lamas, and that the Ming would provide an advisory group to assist the codification group, which would be reviewed by a vote at the local councils of Mongolia in August and September next year.

The delegates at the conference accepted Chongzhen's suggestion and decided that Saang Chechen of the Ordos Ministry would preside over the compilation of the code, while Chongzhen turned around and entrusted Huang Daozhou and Zhang Jia Huofo to serve as advisers to the code compilation team to review the content of the code and make suggestions.

At the end of the conference, eight Fujin, including Doro Dafujin and Sutai Dafujin, arrived in Fengzhen with Ezhe, and presented the heirloom jade seal to Chongzhen in public, asking the emperor to shelter them and Ezhe. Although this is just a formality, the real heirloom jade seal has already been handed over to the emperor a long time ago.

However, the actions of the eight Fujin undoubtedly indicated that the Chahar tribes in their hands would not be returned to the trusted Chahar Khan, and once again reduced the gold content of the future Mongol Great Khan. A Mongolian Great Khan who did not have a jade seal of the country obviously could not inherit the legal system of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties.

Seeing this scene, the nobles of the Chahar tribe, such as Gutu Taiji, Guiyingcha, and Gunchuktaiji, were of course entangled in their hearts, and the leaders of the other Mongolian tribes were not stunned when they saw this. However, there were also some tribal leaders with a keen sense of smell, who soon realized that the transfer of the jade seal of the country not only represented the demise of the Mongol and Yuan legal systems, but also represented that the Ming Emperor had a real political right over the Mongolian tribes.

Although Chongzhen would not and could not accept the title of Mongol Great Khan, it was clear that the Mongol tribes needed to give this Emperor His Majesty an honorific title to signify that he was not only the Han Emperor but also the Great Khan of the Mongols, so as to ensure that His Majesty the Emperor would take into account the interests of the Mongols in his administration.

After a night of contact and discussion, 58 delegates, headed by Zhuo Erbi and Omubu, proposed at the general assembly on the second day that they would give His Majesty the Emperor a "Bogda. Chechen Khan". Bogda means emperor in Mongolian, and Chechen Khan means wise and wise Khan.

Bogda is generally only used to refer to the Great Khan of Mongolia, while the name of Chechen Khan is more ordinary, and Sonam Gyatso once gave Altan Khan the title of "Wekraval Dicherchen Khan".

Although the Ming Emperor did not conquer the Mongolian tribes participating in the meeting by force, the Ming Emperor used troops on the grassland twice, once to defeat the Chahar tribe and once to defeat the Houjin-Mongol coalition, which was enough to deter these Mongolian tribes who depended on the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the leaders of the right-wing departments, through trade with the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, have accumulated a lot of wealth for themselves, and they obviously do not have the courage to oppose the emperor, so the proposal put forward by Zhuo Erbi, Omubu and others was unanimously approved by all the deputies.

It's just that when Zhuoerbi and Ombu representatives brought "Bogda. When the honorific title of "Chechen Khan" went to meet the emperor, this honorific title was rejected by Chongzhen.

Just when the others were panicked and didn't understand what the emperor meant, Omubu secretly went to see his teacher Huang Daozhou and asked the teacher about the emperor's intentions.

Huang Daozhou, who was sorting out the cases that had been adjudicated for the Mongolian people in the past few years, so that he could guide the compilation of the Mongolian code, only inquired in detail about what they had done when they met with the emperor, and then said with some clarity: "What Your Majesty said is not suitable, not that it is not needed, it can be seen that Your Majesty does not blame you for many things, but just dislikes that the title you negotiated is not good." ”

Omubu couldn't help but sincerely ask the teacher for advice: "I don't know what the teacher thinks, where is this title unsuitable?" What kind of title will Your Majesty accept? ”

Huang Daozhou lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying: "The word Chechen was used on the first Shunyi king, and Your Majesty, as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, how could he accept the title used by a courtier." The most honorable person who won the title of King Khan with the Han people was Tang Taizong. If you change Chechen Khan to Heavenly Khan, it is estimated that Your Majesty will not object..."

Huang Daozhou, who has been exercising in the frontier for several years, did not guess Chongzhen's mind this time, when several Mongolian delegates changed the title to "Bogda. Tian Khan", Chongzhen finally did not refuse this time, so Fengzhen suddenly got busy, preparing to hold a ceremony to officially honor the emperor for the representatives of the Mongolian tribes.

In the face of the direction of this Kuritai conference, Tu Taiji is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable one in his heart, but looking at the elated appearance of the other delegates, he also knows that the big thing is decided, and it is not he alone who can turn the situation around.

He didn't have any tenacity, and the most passive way he came up with to resist was to run back to his residence early, and not continue to prepare to congratulate Chongzhen with the other delegates.

However, even as soon as he returned to his residence to hide in Qingjing, someone came to visit him, and after listening to the servant's introduction, he hurried out to greet him personally. The one who came to visit him was Chang Haochun, a Shanxi businessman who had befriended him before and often lent him loans for expenses.
