Chapter 257: A New Political System Changes the Future
"Yes, the new political system!"
Li Gengyun confidently proposed the constitutional monarchy, and at the same time, he saw that everyone was stunned.
"Leading democracy and civil rights and people's livelihood, as the old saying goes, the community is important, and the people are noble and the monarch is light, so that the world can be peaceful. Although the following ideas can be said to be a bit whimsical, they lack evidence. Since the Great Qin, the imperial power has been supreme, and the world is respected by the king, and one person controls the world. In all dynasties, there have been virtuous kings and tyrants, but whether the king is virtuous or not, the development of the country is inseparable from the people. The people are the foundation, which is the foundation of the stability of the society. ”
"Mr. Li, you mean the empress, just a person with a special status and no actual rights?" Lin Sen usually communicates with Li Gengyun a lot, so he sometimes hears Li Gengyun's ideas about the political system, and naturally considers the questions he raised. But in terms of understanding, he understands some of the things inside better than the others.
"Not really, but the royal family, which is a special kind of people who exist in the country. The throne belongs to the hereditary system, and all the policies set by the Military Aircraft Department and the future operation will be confirmed and issued by the Emperor, and the Military Aircraft Department can only be regarded as a transitional department, as long as it goes well, then the Military Aircraft Department will be transformed into the National Assembly, and the members of the National Assembly will be composed of people of insight from all over the country to make decisions for the future development of the country and changes in the situation. Every representative of the National Assembly is elected by the people, and their decisions represent the will of the people. This is the fundamental law of constitutional monarchy. ”
"Of course, in addition to the Congress, the state must set up two branches of justice and law enforcement, the National Assembly for legislation, the courts for justice, and the administrative law enforcement. In this way, there are three departments: the National Assembly, the courts, and the administrative law enforcement bureau, which are the basic elements to support the constitutional monarchy and realize the democratic republic. ”
In particular, the so-called separation of powers, constitutional monarchy, and democratic republic, although the three conditions are not relatively unified in a certain nature, if the three can be properly combined, then there will be infinite inferences and support for the new government. Because the foundation of everything is based on the people, and the people are noble and the king is light, which is mentioned by the ancient sages. In the past, it was used to persuade the monarch to be virtuous and pay attention to the people-oriented, but it did not become the fundamental implementation of the country, but Li Gengyun now directly put this idea into practice, so that the people really began to become the foundation of the country and stepped onto the stage of history, which was unexpected by everyone. The unprecedented and peerless idea made Zhao Zhen frown.
The things she talked about with Li Gengyun before had violated the ancient etiquette law, and it was quite inappropriate for the empress to be in power, but the new political system that Li Gengyun is proposing now is even more contrary to the world's condemnation, not only violating the ancient law, but also violating the way of the king. Even if the sages are cloudy, and the people are noble and gentle, everything is based on the society of the country, and we must be kind to the people, strict with ourselves, and tolerant to our subjects.
"You're trying to use the Empress as a puppet?!"
Xiangrui almost understood what Li Gengyun meant, no matter how good Li Gengyun said about the new political system, but one thing is certain, that is, the power of the empress will be hollowed out, and the three departments mentioned by the other party will really exercise power: the Congress, the courts, and the Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau. In fact, the empress is equivalent to a puppet, and can only obey the command of these three departments.
"Not a puppet! The empress is still the empress of the state, the head of state and the political representative. The Empress has her rights and duties in Parliament, in the courts, and in administrative enforcement. The Empress is one of the most important decision-makers in the National Assembly, with the right of veto in legislation, and in the judiciary the Empress cannot be prosecuted as the head of state, nor can she be sued as an individual, because the Empress is the symbol of the state and the embodiment of its sovereignty. In the process of law enforcement, law enforcement work involving the royal family and even the empress herself must be subject to special investigations. The circumstances of the royal family's violations, the final decision on the execution of the case will be decided by the Empress. Of course, if the Empress violates the laws she has made, there will be a Diet to decide whether the Empress will remain in office! ”
"What?!"
The rest is not the point, the point is Li Gengyun's last sentence "There is a parliament to decide whether the empress continues to stay in office", this sentence means that the final decision on whether the empress stays in office is in the hands of the parliament, not in the hands of the empress herself, which caused Zhao Zhen's anger, she snorted coldly, and said to Li Gengyun: "Mr. Li, I have always respected Mr. Li very much, and I am also obedient to Mr. Li's decision-making, but you said that whether I stay or not is ultimately decided by the congress!" What are you going to do? I can't stay in office, you inherit it? ”
"Don't get me wrong, everything has a premise. You must know that a country is naturally set by the example of Ming Jun, as the head of a country, you are the spiritual leader of the country, representing the image of the country, and if you violate the laws you have set, you will naturally be punished accordingly. If you have committed serious violations of discipline and discipline, then Congress will naturally judge whether you need to remain in office! ”
In the face of Zhao Zhen's anger, Li Gengyun did not flinch at all, what he hoped was to establish a peaceful and legitimate government, not a country where one person had the final say, if he gave in now, then it means that in the future, this political system will also have room for concessions, and if there is a law that cannot be followed, the country will lose its checks and balances. Once the checks and balances are lost, then the political system will collapse and become a mere formality, and it will not be possible to realize his future predictions.
"Another point is that you are not only the political image of the country, but also the supreme military leader, declaring war abroad and suppressing rebellions internally, all of which need to be led and led by you. The direct power of the army is in your hands, and you will also become the strongest representative of the country's military power. So, whether it's political or military, you're in an absolute dominant position. The success of these two aspects still depends on economic development, so the most important thing at present is not only to build a complete political and military system, but also to do a good job in economic construction, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, if our economy is in our own hands, then our political and military aspects will be very stable, do not worry about special changes! ”
"The economic base determines the superstructure?"
This is a crucial point, and it is also an important foothold of the policies proposed by Li Gengyun before, and now everyone understands that four of Li Gengyun's previous five policies are directly related to the economy, which is Li Gengyun's future dependence.
