Fang Yuan saw that Zhu Cihuan was still a little dazed, and said, "For example, Your Majesty now, although people are under house arrest in the harem. But his wife and son are in control of the north; His other son, daughter, and son-in-law are in control of the South. Whoever dares to deny that he is the emperor, and who dares to break this balance, will be attacked by a crowd. On the premise that neither side has upset the balance, Your Majesty will always be the emperor. ”

"As for how many troops and officials the emperor can control, it is not a measure at all. There are very few officials that His Majesty can control, and Emperor Taizu can name nothing more than a hundred officials, and this gap is completely negligible in the whole world. ”

"The existence of the emperor is to balance the various interest factions and unite the hearts of the people in the world. In order for a political system to operate efficiently and orderly, it is not necessary for the emperor to monopolize power and make arbitrary decisions, but must be run by professionals. ”

"Duke Qi Huan delegated power to manage Zhong, and as a result, Duke Qi Huan became the head of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period; Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han, gave power to Zhuge Liang, and as a result, the little Shu Han not only did not perish, but also fought a huge Cao Wei with the strength of the whole country to defend against it, and even the palace did not dare to build. On the contrary, just like the first emperor, who corrects 120 catties of music every day, it makes the people of the world miserable, and everyone is in danger. ”

Zhu Cihuan listened to Fang Yuan's narration, all of which were metaphors for the present from the past, but he did not mention the actual power structure. He was silent for a while, and then asked straight to the point, "The teacher will tell me how to structure this virtual monarch reality system, and I would like to listen to it." ”

How to structure the virtual monarch reality system is related to the distribution of the interests of both sides, and this is the most important thing whether the two sides can reach an agreement. If Fang Yuan ate the meat and didn't even give the soup to the Ming royal family to drink, then there would be no way to negotiate peace at all.

Fang Yuan said, "The so-called virtual monarch reality system is also a system of separation of powers, in short, it divides the power structure at the top into two major clans. One line is the royal family, nominally the supreme ruler, hereditary replacement by the Ming royal family, which is the same as now. One line is the regent line, which controls the cabinet, which is our original line, and it is also hereditary. In today's cabinet, there are only officials, squires, and wealthy businessmen, and after the unification of the world, I will also include the management of the Xuanjia Army in the cabinet, that is to say, all the military and political power in the world is operated by the cabinet. ”

Zhu Cihuan frowned slightly when he heard this, the power in the world is in the cabinet, and the cabinet is controlled by the regent line, in other words, isn't it that under the current Ming system, a regent was added bluntly, and the Ming royal family was hollowed out, "Teacher, isn't this virtual monarch reality system just to set up the royal family, treat the emperor as a puppet, and the real power is all in the regent family?" ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "No, my assumption is that the regent and his family have the right to approve the red of the cabinet vote, and the right to veto any major military and political affairs; The Ming royal family has the right to nominate cabinet candidates, and also has the right to veto any major military and political affairs. ”

"To be clear, it is up to the emperor to decide who will be in the cabinet; How the cabinet works is up to the regent. However, all major military and political affairs can only be carried out with the unanimous consent of both sides. In this way, the two sides can supervise each other and check and balance each other, so as not to create a situation in which one side dominates and causes chaos in the world. ”

Zhu Cihuan silently digested Fang Yuan's proposal of the virtual monarch reality system based on the separation of powers, in the eyes of the ancient imperial power, this is of course to divide the imperial power and weaken the power of the imperial family.

But now that the warlords in the world are rising, where is the world still under the Ming royal family? The world was beaten down by Fang Yuan and the Xuanjia Army, in the eyes of everyone, the prince and the prince Xiang Ning had a kind of thing, and the position of the emperor was inhabited by a capable person, Fang Yuan directly abolished the Ming royal family, and it was natural for him to be the emperor.

However, under the system designed by Fang Yuan, the dividends of obtaining the world were shared by the royal family and the regent, in fact, they took the initiative to transfer part of the power that should have belonged to Fang Yuan and handed it over to the Ming royal family.

What Zhu Cihuan really worried about was not that the power of the Ming royal family had been weakened, but whether this was Fang Yuan's delaying tactic, and after seizing the world, he would rebel, and asked rhetorically, "Is this the teacher's true thoughts?" After the teacher seizes the world, will he really retain the Ming royal family, and even hand over some of the power in his hands? ”

Fang Yuan knew his concerns, and today was to have an open and honest conversation with him, and then the two sides would work together to achieve the goal of unifying the world.

Fang Yuan said lightly, "King Wu Yue, this is really the teacher's heart, not a lie. Absolute power leads to absolute decay, and neither the royal family nor the regent family can make arbitrary decisions and monopolize power. Otherwise, over time, it will inevitably corrupt and decline, until it perishes, and it will not be able to escape the cyclical rate of the change of historical dynasties. ”

"Throughout the ages, the dynasties have changed, all of them are warlords fighting, the lives of the people are like dogs, the men of the royal family have been slaughtered, and the women have been humiliated and miserable. The teacher's idea is to avoid the dynastic cyclical rate of the infinite cycle of history and achieve long-term peace and stability in the world. ”

"There are only two ways that the teacher can think of to avoid the dynastic cyclical rate. First, the smooth passage of the upper and lower levels must give the people at the bottom the opportunity to enter the upper echelons of power; The second is the separation of powers and mutual supervision of the top-level power structure, so as to avoid a situation in which there is no one to check and balance the monarch and the tyrant. For example, the only force that can participate in the balance of power today is the Ming royal family, so King Wu Yue doesn't have to worry about me going back on my word. ”

Fang Yuan's willingness to set up a separation of powers and share power with the Ming royal family is definitely from the heart. Because what he wants to fight for is not only the size of the power in front of the Fang family, but the long-term peace and stability of the Fang family dozens of years later. Power is secondary, and it is the real thing to maintain this power for a long time and pass it on from generation to generation.

Zhu Cihuan listened to Fang Yuan's heart-to-heart words, and only felt that another world had been opened, and he sighed sincerely, "The teacher is really a pedantic man, and the apprentice is taught." If the teacher does not dislike the disciple's stupidity, the disciple is willing to fully support the teacher. ”

Fang Yuanjian finally persuaded him, and smiled with satisfaction, "Then King Wu Yue will go back and prepare!" Every few days later, he will go with me to the Cabinet and convince the Cabinet members that he will be able to make an announcement to the world. ”

Zhu Cihuan respectfully bowed his hand, leaving only Princess Kunxing in the bedroom.

Fang Yuan looked at Princess Kunxing, who had been listening but was silent, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The princess had long been impressed by his theory of the separation of powers and the reality of the hypocrisy, and her eyes were full of worship and love when she looked at him, "My father really didn't see the wrong person, and I didn't see the wrong person either." The horse is really erudite and talented, and the knowledge of those so-called Confucianism and Confucianism is like a tile. ”

The princess praised Fang Yuan without hesitation, and sighed lightly, "Don Ma, I'm thinking about the queen mother and the royal brother in the capital, if they can calmly negotiate with the concubine, the two sides should not be incompatible now." Why don't I write a letter to the capital and talk about it again? ”

Fang Yuan knew that she was reluctant to break with the queen mother and the imperial brother, grabbed her hand and gently rubbed it in the palm of her hand, "Power is the same as Fushou ointment, you can't quit if you get dyed." I gave your mother and brother a chance, but they gave up the opportunity for peace talks. Now that they are no longer trustworthy, it is impossible to negotiate peace. Don't worry, if one day in the future, I win, I will spare the lives of your mother and royal brother. ”

Princess Kunxing bit her lip lightly and bowed down to him, "Don't lie to me!" ”

Fang Yuan pulled the princess into his arms suddenly, and whispered in his ear, "Zhu Cihong has his thoughts, I'm afraid he doesn't just want to share power with me, but also wants to share Leo'er!" In Gao Youwei, he loved Jiao'er very much, and the two armies fought, and even put away the artillery. ”

Princess Kunxing was seen through the ambiguity between the brother and sister by him, and blushed with shame, worried that he would have some misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained, "I, I don't know why the imperial brother has such thoughts? I, and he had nothing. ”

Fang Yuan didn't listen to her explanation, whether Princess Kunxing and Zhu Cihong had that bit of, the little red on the bed sheet on the first night was enough to prove her innocence. This brother-sister love is that Zhu Cihong has lost his heart and has a neuropathy.

Fang Yuan hugged her horizontally, smiled and said, "Power, I can share it with others." But Jiao'er must be my own and will never share it with others. ”

Princess Kunxing was so ashamed that she buried her head in his arms, and Fang Yuan directly carried her to the inner room.
