In the early morning of the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the tenth year of Xuanwu, the sky was slightly bright, and countless guards came out of the palace!

They galloped on the avenue of Yanjing City!

All the guards were wearing yellow coats and holding small yellow boxes with seals on them!

When they came to the gates of each city gate in Yanjing City, the soldiers guarding the city gates in Yanjing City immediately restrained the people and let these palace guards leave.

"These are the guards of the imperial camp who are going to convey and announce the holy decree, and more than ten people have passed by here this morning, how can so many people pass? How could there be so many decrees being delivered? At the gate of Yanjing City, a middle-aged man pushing a cart said in surprise.

"Your Majesty has convened the ministers of military affairs to discuss major matters, the military aircraft department has been renamed the government affairs yuan, and the twenty-three roads under heaven have been changed to thirty-six provinces, in addition, your majesty and the ministers of civil and military affairs have formulated the "outline of the King James Constitution", and the ministers of the government council and the ministers of the thirty-six provinces have been elected, and now these edicts are being announced to the world! Among the thirty-six provinces, the military regions in the north and south, and the various departments of the Production and Construction Corps, I am afraid that they will all receive His Majesty's holy decree! A young man dressed as a Confucian next to him said.

"I see." The middle-aged man understood and nodded.

"I heard that early this morning, Yanjing City will also post the imperial list and promulgate the outline of the King James Constitution, and I was about to enter the city to take a look." Confucianism.

"Ahh There's something like that, so I'm going to go in and take a look! "Middle-aged humane.

After a full half an hour, the number of people at the gate of Yanjing City increased, and at this moment the martial law at the gate of Yanjing City was lifted, and these people rushed in, and almost all the people went to the place where the imperial list was posted.

At this moment, in a thousand-acre manor north of Yanjing City, although the weather has cleared, the snow in the manor has not yet melted, and it is a white scene.

In the mansion of the manor, several Koreans were sitting together at this moment, discussing the outline of the King James Constitution.

"The three provinces and six ministries are completely gone!" Jin Can let out a long sigh.

"Although there are no three provinces and six ministries, the current Government Council, Congress, and Supreme Court are equivalent to the previous three provinces." The former Goryeo minister Li Rui is also in this manor, Li Rui said.

"What Master Li said is right, although it is no longer the three provinces, but there are three existences: the Government Council, the Congress, and the Supreme Court." Wang Kai drank hot tea and said.

"Your Highness doesn't know that the current Government Council, Congress, and Supreme Court are completely different from the three provinces in the past! In the past, the three provinces, Zhongshu Province was responsible for making orders, Menxia Province held the right to refute and deliberate, and Shangshu Province was responsible for implementation, and the sum of the three provinces and six ministries was equivalent to the current Government Affairs Yuan! Moreover, the powers and responsibilities between the three provinces are often unclear, the minister of Zhongshu Province is the prime minister, and the province is the deputy minister, and there are many disputes between the three provinces! Now there is only one government council, only one prime minister, and no vice minister, and under the prime minister are ministers of various ministries, and the speed of implementation of government decrees is far better than that of the three provinces and six ministries in the past! Jin Chan said.

"Lord Kim, what do the Congresses and the Supreme Court do?" Li Ruidao.

"One formulates the legal system, and the other implements the legal system! The former Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory have been completely integrated into the Supreme Court, and the Government Council cannot interfere, but I am afraid that officials at all levels will be restrained by the court! As for the Congress, if the Congress enacts a law on the promotion of officials, won't the officials in the world also be subject to the restrictions of the Congress? Jin Chan said.

"This ......" Li Rui was stunned.

"The Government Council is still the most powerful, but the three check and balance each other, restrain each other, and are all under the control of the emperor! The outline of the King James Constitution stipulates that the laws of the National Assembly can only be implemented after the emperor has passed them, and the government affairs yuan is directly under the emperor's command, and as for the supreme court, the emperor also has the right to pardon! In this way, Emperor Xuanwu's rights must truly surpass all the emperors of all dynasties! In the past, the Military Aircraft Department was dictatorial, and now it is even more so! What a good means! Jin Can sneered.

"I feel that the power of the Prime Minister of the Government Council is far greater than that of the Prime Minister in the past!" Li Rui pondered for a moment and said.

"This ......" Jin Can was stunned for a long time, nodded violently, and said, "How can this be?" Yes, the power of the Prime Minister is indeed greater than ever! The prime minister controls six ministries and controls 36 provinces in the world, and his power is indeed beyond the past, and he can even threaten the monarchy! ”

"The prime minister only serves for five years, and cannot be re-elected for more than two consecutive terms, and coupled with the constraints of the parliament and the courts, it is impossible to threaten the monarchy." Li Rui shook his head and said.

The two discussed for a long time and still couldn't come up with a reason, and they no longer discussed the matter of monarchy and power.

"Although the outline of the King James Constitution is only more than 1,000 words, it mentions a lot of things, the people's property must not be wantonly infringed upon, the people have the obligation to serve in the military, the people have the obligation to pay taxes, and everyone is equal before the law, and no one can interfere with the law!" Jin Chan said again.

"The world is no longer governed by Confucianism, but ruled by law, and I don't know whether this is good or bad! Since the Han Dynasty, until now, it is the first time that the Central Plains system has undergone such a big change! Li Rui said.

"This rule of law is also completely different from the rule of law of the former Qin State! The law of the Qin period is to oppress the people with the violence of the law, but the law of His Majesty is to rule the order of the world! Jin Chan said.

At this moment, in the teahouses and restaurants all over Yanjing City, countless Yanjing people are talking about the outline of the King James Constitution, some people think that the outline of the King James Constitution is very well formulated, but some people feel that the outline of the King James Constitution is very rebellious, and it is completely contrary to the idea of governing the country with Confucianism, governing the country with virtue, and governing the country with feelings!

In fact, the outline of the King James Constitution promulgated by Zhao Chen is basically the same as the "Imperial Constitution of Japan" at the time of the Meiji Restoration and the "Outline of the King James Constitution" at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which established a modern political system while ensuring the monarchy's dictatorship!

The main reason why it is named after the outline is that the constitution is not perfect, and there may be many mistakes, which must be constantly corrected in the course of governance! However, in any case, the fundamental system of the state is basically the same as the system of separation of powers in later generations! The rights of the state are divided into three points, and they check and balance each other! As for the struggle for monarchy and relative power, Zhao Chen also has his own thoughts in his heart, at present, it is still the dictatorship of the cadres, and he will gradually become a virtual monarch in the future!

******

On the thirtieth day of the first month, the ministers of the thirty-six provinces left Yanjing City and went to the south of the world to take up their posts!

On the first day of February, the Government Council was officially put into operation!

In the imperial study, Zhao Chen held the first meeting of the Government Council with Wang Shu, Prime Minister of the Government Yuan, and ministers of the Government Council.

"The current government council is different from the previous three provinces and six ministries, whether it is the prime minister or other officials, there is no term of office, as long as you do a good job, you can continue to do it! And now you are only serving a five-year term! You have to think about it, what are you going to do in the next five years? In the past five years, how have you governed and how have you changed the country? Zhao Chen sat behind the desk, looked at these ministers, and said.

"Your Majesty, there are only two years to go before the end of the Great War in the world, and the state system has just been established, and the most important thing in the next five years is to ensure the stability of the world, and in addition, actively develop the agricultural and commercial economy." Wang Shu said.

"Very well, how are you going to grow the economy?" Zhao Chen said.

"As for farming, officials from all over the country must go to ......the fields in person," Wang Shu began.

"Needless to say!" Zhao Chen interrupted him violently and said, "I don't want to hear this!" I'll tell you what to do! ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Wang Shu said.

"How much grain was produced in the whole country last year, and when your term of office is up in five years, how much will you make the world produce food! How far are the roads in the world now, and how far are you going to be in five years! How many docks are there in the world now, and how many docks will there be in the world in five years? How many schools are there in the world now, and how many will be in five years! How much was the country's fiscal revenue last year, and what about five years later? What is the military department going to do in the next five years? Regain Annam and attack Dongying? How many troops will be consumed for this, and how much financial resources will be needed to pacify these places? Your government affairs department has written down all of these one by one, I don't want to see empty words, clichés, I want to see real data! How much do you have to do in each of the five years, and what if you can't? I want a plan, a goal, a program! Since I started, the imperial court can no longer get by like all previous dynasties, do you understand? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Ministers obey!" Wang Shu stood up with all the ministers and said.

"Sit down! I will give you ten days, and you will give me an answer in ten days! Don't set your goals too high, or you won't be able to achieve them! You can't set your goals too low, because setting too low proves that you are incompetent! In the future, everything in the world must be shown with data, and the development of the world must be expressed with data, not only for me, but also for the Congress, and for hundreds of millions of people in the world! I and the people of the world want to see real results! If you don't do well, you are not worthy of presiding over the Government Council, and I am afraid that I will have to change a group of people! Zhao Chen said.

"Wait for you to understand!"

"Wang Shu, you are the prime minister, that is, the former prime minister, Chen Ping of the Han Dynasty said, 'The prime minister, the son of heaven, the yin and yang, the four times, the four times, the next is the appropriateness of all things, the outside to pacify the four princes, the inner relatives are attached to the people, so that the secretary and the doctor can each take their own position', in the future, in addition to the appointment of officials above the third grade, foreign use of troops and other important matters by me to decide, the rest of the things you can decide!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Ahh Wang Shu stayed there for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"Rest assured, I will always pay attention to the Government Council, and every ten days from now on, the Prime Minister and all the ministers will report to me on state affairs! Every month, the ministers of each province must also write down the important affairs of each province and report it to the Government Council and I! Zhao Chen said.
