Chapter 1217: Republic, Founded!
Great Zhou, the first day of the second month of the first year of the republic.
The Constitution of the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty was finally unanimously adopted by the Political Consultative Conference of the Senate of Youzhou!
This is the first bourgeois constitution in the history of mankind, and it also means that a part of China has finally crossed the threshold of the budding capitalism.
A new chapter in Chinese history has begun!
According to this Constitution. The state system of the Zhou State is a republic, the full name is the "Great Zhou Republic", and the supreme ruler of the country is the head of state, who is elected by the Senate from among the senators. The term of office of the Senator is five years, and the term of office of the Führer is likewise five years, but he can be re-elected - no one disputes this. What everyone recognizes in their minds is the world, so Wu Haogu, the head of state, is the emperor in the eyes of the elders.
The Fuhrer's authority was to lead the republican government, command the army and navy of the Great Zhou, and preside over the Senate meetings.
The functions and powers of the Senate were to make or amend laws, impeach lawless officials, examine government budgets, approve wars or peace treaties, approve the election of the heads of government ministries, approve the election of the heads of the governors of the prefectures directly under their jurisdiction, and so on.
After the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the historical mission of the Political Consultative Conference of the Senate of Youzhou was also over. In the following month and a half, the Great Zhou Republic held a general election, in which more than 300,000 yuan of honorable citizens, noble citizens, noble citizens, lifelong citizens and temporary citizens voted to elect 180 noble senators and 180 citizen senators.
Among them, a total of 360 citizens of the Fathers, 720 citizens of the Lords, and 1,440 citizens of the nobility participated in the voting. These 2,520 "noble citizens" came from 500 noble houses. Among them, the Tianjin martial arts family of Wu Haogu has a monopoly of 252 people, that is to say, relying on the Wu family's own aristocratic citizen votes, 18 noble elders can theoretically be elected!
In addition to relying on the votes of the Wu family to control the 18 aristocratic elders, the doctoral group controlled by Wu Haogu is also the largest political group in the Great Zhou. Most of the 360 senators and 2,520 nobles were members of the Doctor's Corps.
And Wu Haogu is the chief head and main financier of the Doctor Group! By controlling the Doctor's Corps, he will be able to firmly hold the Great Zhou Republic in his hands. As for the army, the current Great Zhou Republic implements a system that combines the land-linked citizen soldier system and the military academy officer system, and as long as the citizen soldiers do not lose their estates, it will be difficult for the officers to control the army against the Senate.
The world is for the public, which does not mean that Wu Haogu has to hand over the power that he has so hard to get in his hands. It's just a change of the rules of the game of power...... Under the new rules, bloodline is no longer the basis for the transmission of supreme power. Controlling the majority of the Senate is the guarantee of ascending to the throne of the Führer.
As long as the rules of the game can be established - considering Wu Haogu's age, he has at least thirty years to make this rule deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
When the time comes, most of the descendants of Wu Haogu (only a few who can participate in politics) will naturally withdraw from the power game of the future republic and live a stable, prosperous and free life.
When it comes to the level of Wu Haogu, of course, he will not envy the emperor's "solitary music". Because he knows very well what the price of solo pleasure is?
And he also knows that the magic box of capitalism he has opened has put the imperial throne of "solo happiness" on the crater.
It is really unimaginable that it is difficult to pass on several or more generations of emperors in peace and stability, and then wait for the good death of a constitutional monarchy.
Because Wu Haogu opened a thousand-year change! Just like the First Emperor established a centralized empire, just like the Sui Dynasty opened the imperial examination and promoted the disciples, and just like the Republic of China ended the 2,000-year-old imperial system.
Under such changes, Qin, Sui, and the Republic of China did not have too long a national ancestry......
Therefore, on the first day of the third month of the first year of the republic, Wu Haogu is now standing on the throne of the chief senator of the Senate, holding a copy of the "Constitution of the Republic" and preparing to be sworn in as the head of state. There was not much joy in my heart, but there was a feeling of being on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice.
"I swear to assume the post of Head of the Republic with all sincerity. From now on, we should dedicate all our efforts to the citizens and civilians of our Republic, abide by the Constitution, and safeguard the country. If there is a violation, heaven will not tolerate it! ”
The oath is short and epoch-making. This means that Wu Haogu, the head of state, is not the monarch of the world, but a public servant who serves the country, the people, and the public......
It also means that the era of the monarch will become history in China in the future!
He exhaled and took the sword symbolizing the power of the Führer from the hands of Murong Wangwu, the second patriarch of the Senate. Then wear it on your belt, and this is considered a ceremony.
"Long live the Führer! Banzai! Hooray......"
I don't know who started it, but the sound of the mountain shouting hooray suddenly resounded throughout the hall, as if it was about to tear down the roof...... The feudal remnants of the First Republic are still strong!
Outside the Führer's Palace, the eighteen cannons on the Republic Square also began to salute at this time. The thunderous roar sounded in the sky over Tianjin, announcing the arrival of a new era.
Amid the rumbling salute, Wu Haogu walked to the second floor of the Führer's Palace, facing a balcony facing the Republic Square.
The Republic Square outside is crowded with people today, all of them are citizens and citizens of Tianjin, and I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people!
People were cheering, salutes were roaring, and the shadows in Wu Haogu's heart were also swept away.
In any case, a new era has begun.
Although the future will not be smooth sailing, the wheel of history has finally rolled forward and crushed the threshold of capitalism.
No matter how much people hate the heinous capitalism and how much they love the feudal dynasty that is loyal to the monarch and his courtesy, they are powerless to resist in the face of the rolling wheels of history.
The trend of the times, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die!
For China in the 12th century, no matter how much pain may occur in the future, it will give birth to an incomparably powerful country that stands at the top of the world.
This country will belong to the Chinese people, and it will be invincible and unconquerable!
When the salute ended, Wu Haogu drew his long sword and raised it high.
Seeing this scene, the citizens and citizens of Tianjin in the square gradually quieted down.
Wu Hao Guming knew that most people couldn't hear what he said at all, but he still raised his voice and said loudly: "The first ruling government of the Great Zhou Republic was established today!" ”
"Hooray, hooray, hooray......"
The cheers rang out again, resounding through the sky!
……
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... On the first day of the first month of March, Wu Haogu announced the founding of the People's Republic of China in Tianjin! ”
In the Yuqing Daode Palace, Cai Jing, who came in a hurry, reported the news he had just gotten to Zhao Ji, who was meditating, with a panicked face.
"Didn't ascend the throne after all?" Zhao Ji asked.
Su Chi, the Privy Councillor who arrived with Cai Jing, replied: "No, as the head of the republic, the traitor still doesn't dare to ......."
"Don't say anything about the traitor!" Zhao Ji sighed, "Send someone to congratulate you!" Cai Qing, Su Qing, who do you think is appropriate? ”
Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, I know that Zhang Shuye, a member of the Privy Council, can be the chief envoy, and the courtier Cai You can be the deputy envoy." ”
Zhao Ji asked: "This is a meeting between the two governments?" ”
Su Chi replied: "It is the ...... of today's meeting between the two governments."
Zhao Ji, who was addicted to Taoist philosophy and lost confidence in the future of the dynasty, has now become a standard faint monarch - not much in the court, not even the Chongzheng Palace, all day long in the Yuqing Daode Palace to repair Jiao (in fact, he is studying philosophy, including natural philosophy), and he is too lazy to read the chapters, all of them are thrown to the two governments, and the major national affairs are also discussed by the six prime ministers and four cardinals of the east and west governments.
He's got a bit of a constitutional monarchy here!
"Since it is a meeting of the two governments, then let it be approved." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "Princess Qingde's marriage to Wu Yiyong will also be discussed with Zhou Guo by the way...... I am the Son of Heaven, Wu Haogu is the head of state, and the marriage between the two families is also a major event, so I have to do it well. ”
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling that the two of them would retire if they had nothing to do.
Song Daozong was now thinking about a very complex arithmetic problem - how to make a square with only a ruler and a compass, so that the area of the square was twice the area of the known circle. A seemingly simple question that is said to have stumped countless arithmetic scientists in the West. Zhao Ji felt that he must be smarter than them, so he wanted to solve the answer, but after thinking about it for a few days, he found that he was stumped, so he didn't have the time to take care of national affairs.
However, Cai Jing and Su Chi did not move. Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, Liangzhou Express, Hexi Jiedu envoy Zhang Yuan has passed away!" ”
"Zhang Yuan......" Zhao Ji sighed, "Who did the queen?" ”
"Zhang Yuan's testament recommended the new chief priest of the Hexi Great Education Corps, Zhang Zhuo, to serve as the envoy of the festival."
"The father dies and the son succeeds, and it is still the world!" Zhao Ji smiled, "Have the two governments gathered?" ”
"Yes." Cai Jingdao, "The two governments agreed that Zhang Yuan's officials should be given to Zhang Zhuo...... Acknowledging the hereditary nature of Hexi Town. ”
Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "That's not hereditary!" Zhang Zhuo was first elected as the chief teacher of the Hexi Great Education Corps, and then became the queen of the Jiedu envoy.
Hexi is respected by the Great Sect, and the chief priest is the lord of Hexi. So Zhang Zhuo was also selected, just like Wu Haogu......"
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Ji said: "Let's deal with it according to the meeting of the two governments." Anything else to say? ”
"Yang Jian, the former envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, who stayed in Beijing, handed over the letter of state...... In the national letter, he was called the Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Kaifeng Prefecture. ”
"Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary?" Zhao Ji asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's the envoy who has been stationed in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time, and it's almost the same as before." Su Chi said, "In addition, the original Shangjing Left-behind Division will also be changed to a legation." ”
"Oh," Zhao Ji nodded, "just let him do what he wants." ”
"Your Majesty," said Cai Jingdao, "the two governments have agreed that the imperial court should also send the same minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Tianjin. ”
"It's okay," Zhao Ji asked, "who to send?" ”
Cai Jing said: "The two governments suggested sending Cai You to this position. ”
"Cai You......" Zhao Ji thought for a while, "It's okay, just ask him to pay attention to the Tianjin Mansion and grasp the reality of the Zhou State." ”
Cai Jing said: "The old minister must convey His Majesty's words to the dog." ”
