In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Chengtian, Chen Ming left Nanjing and went to the West Lake in Hangzhou.

The West Lake in spring is really tasteful, strolling on the Su Causeway, the smoke and rain are light boats, the plumbing ducks are singing, the soft wind is dancing the willow branches of Tucui, sending the breath of moist grass, the green willows of the ten-mile causeway are like smoke, the red peach is like clouds, it is very beautiful, it is really beautiful.

But what made Chen Ming's heart even more cheerful was the atmosphere in Hangzhou. In other words, after leaving Nanjing, the feeling in his heart relaxed.

In the past six months or so, the strong political atmosphere of Nanjing City has made him almost suffocated. Countless news came to him, both explicit and covert, all of which were against the 'hypocrisy of the constitution'.

Chen Ming asked his son to read some 'enlightenment' books when he was very young, but it turned out to be useless.

The Emperor's throne seemed to easily destroy the influence of these foreign gadgets on them.

Seriously, Chen Ming looks at it from the height of history, no matter whether it is the East or the West, no one will take the initiative to give up the rights in their hands.

Don't take the Sakura God Axe as an example. In the early days of the Lighthouse Country, the power was not at all in Hua Daxia, the commander of the Continental Army, but in the state governments of the thirteen states, and even when Hua Daxia was president, it was a semi-rubber stamp.

Seeing the situation, Chen Ming launched the 'dual system'. It has indeed alleviated a certain amount of contradictions, but the opposition in the Chen clan is still surging.

Of course, Chen Ming did not back down. As long as he doesn't say the words 'Hypocrisy and Constitutionalism' in his own mouth, he can ignore everyone's opposition.

And the latter will only oppose it with lip service, and there can be no real action - that is looking for death!

In this short period of time, even foreigners in China seem to be paying attention to this matter.

There was a bit of a horror in their hearts!

It is inconceivable that the most powerful monarchy in the world, the ancient Eastern Empire, which has been the supremacy of imperial power for thousands of years, should learn from the Britons and rush to the embrace of a 'constitutional monarchy'.

In the eyes of countless Westerners, this is simply nonsense.

God knows how many Westerners envy China's feudal system from the bottom of their hearts, the high degree of centralization, the supreme majesty of 'the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die', and the unparalleled power of 'the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister', and becoming the emperor of China is the most enviable thing in the world.

In the eyes of many Westerners, the emperor of China is the master of everything and people. They can kill people at will, confiscate their property, or reward their ministers with thousands of gold and silver treasures, and everything in the whole world belongs to the emperor alone.

And the reason why Emperor Chen is 'great' and 'noble' in the eyes of many Western scholars is not because the country he rules is extremely powerful, not because he overthrew a powerful foreign dynasty and expanded his territory and laid down such a large territory, but because Chen Ming, who obviously has unlimited power, has put a layer of shackles on himself.

Although this shackle is extremely fragile to Chen Ming, he really limits himself.

——The huge world is not his own private property, and the royal family and the treasury have been clearly divided.

In the history of China, there are countless Ming monarchs and heroes, the early Qin Emperor Han Wu, and the recent Kang Yongqian, these emperors who have left a strong mark in the long history of China are not as powerful as the current Emperor Chen. He commanded the army, and fought and decided with one word. He seemed to ignore government affairs, but everything in the entire cabinet was tightly held in his hands.

But such an emperor with unlimited rights has never done anything to take advantage of it.

He waged wars against foreign countries again and again, and all the tight military expenses in the early stage were made up by selling war bonds and land bonds, and the debts of these imperial courts could always be paid back by him. Countless people can also receive a lot of benefits from it. Nowadays, the bonds issued by the state have become an opportunity for hundreds of millions of people up and down to make a fortune, and if you go late, you may not be able to buy them with money.

Whether it is a businessman, a farmer, or a small citizen, they are all eager to grab it, for fear that they will not be able to grab this debt.

Isn't such an emperor great?

Millions of registered soldiers and veterans were loyal supporters of Emperor Chen, and millions of soldiers pointed out at the command.

With a knife in his hand and money stuffed around his waist, who could resist such an emperor?

But such an emperor has never acted recklessly, isn't such an emperor great? Isn't it respectable?

Therefore, in the midst of internal criticism, Chen Ming's position was not affected at all. He even has a 'casual and elegant' fight with people in the newspaper. Liu Wenke, who was in charge of the Press and Publication Administration, was a loyal horse of Emperor Chen.

……

The days go by, and the king is mediocre; Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu; There was a bang, and the temple crashed.

The tragedy of the family world has been clearly written in the big newspapers. Look at the Manchu Qing Dynasty, look at Zhu Ming, look at the dynasties in Chinese history, who escaped this fate?

Since Qin Shi Huang opened up the first Great Qin Dynasty to unify China, China's 2,000-year-old feudal history of great unification, who the emperor has been sitting firmly on the throne for 300 years?

Can the Eastern Han Dynasty be completely confused with the Western Han Dynasty?

Although the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were all surnamed Zhao, was this a complete dynasty?

The phenomenon of 300 years of strange circles in Chinese history is now known even to the West.

No one dared to mention this question before, it was Chen Ming himself. Nowadays, there is a lot of research and discussion on this issue in society.

But to put it bluntly, isn't this the inferiority of feudal society?

As it is said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time! These reasons are not only for China but also in foreign countries, and under the rule of the whole country, the system and contradictions began to collapse little by little at the beginning of its establishment! The so-called tribulation of three hundred years is a historical coincidence and an inevitability, and it is sometimes such a cycle from the beginning of a reasonable system under hereditary rule to the collapse of the collapse!

To put it more closely, the essence of the rise and fall of dynasties is the contradiction between population growth and limited land, and climate change is the trigger. When the dynasty changes, there will be great wars and chaos, so when the new dynasty is established, the total population is not large, the land supply is sufficient, and a small amount of land will not lead to a large number of landless peasants, and the main contradiction in society can be alleviated. However, after about 300 years, more than ten generations of reproduction, population growth, limited land, increased annexation, increased landless peasants in the country, and intensified social contradictions.

Therefore, some influential newspapers issued 'conclusions', and then deduced the inferiority of feudal society, and then named the difference between feudal society and capitalist society.

Capitalist society gains more by increasing production technology, productivity, and external expansion; The establishment and collapse of the feudal dynasty is a process in which the upper class constantly annexes the property resources of the middle and lower classes, such as land, such as land annexation.

European dynasties generally lasted longer than China's, and were hardly overthrown by the rebellious people, because Europe was too bad for most of the time. Those who read and have knowledge are mostly nobles and clergy, and the people at the bottom are ignorant, which makes them last longer in the 'feudal history' in the past. Therefore, Europe has been worse than China and Tianfang for a long, long period of time.

Of course, when the capitalist system has developed to a certain extent, it will also be accompanied by war.

Isn't World War I in history, including the Civil War in the United States, all the same?

The controversy that lasted for half a year made many people know the difference between the old and the new in a real sense. It also made many people believe in a 'fact' - the reason why the emperor thinks about the 'constitution' is not that he really wants to hand over power, but that he wants to establish a dynasty by himself, and he wants his children and grandchildren to exist for generations and become rich.

The emperors of today's imperial court do not believe in 'thousands of generations, iron buckets' and 'long live'.

Even today's emperors are afraid that the Chen Han world they have established will not even be able to support it for '300 years'.

The former is nothing. The emperor who really wants to live for thousands of years is all stupid.

The latter is a very eye-catching topic. Even many ordinary people can't help but wonder, how can the current emperor be afraid that the imperial court he established will not last even 300 years?

And then they learned a lot, a lot. There's history, and there's cooking.

Chen Mingdu didn't expect that he was just letting the news newspaper add fuel to the fire, but it really triggered a big discussion in society.

For this reason, even Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi were pulled out. Because there is a certain amount of cooking in the academic thinking of these three people.

It's just that in the past hundred years or so, the Manchus swept Wang Fuzhi and others into the garbage heap. Chen Ming is not interested in the so-called late Ming and late Ming Dynasty three families. The main reason is that Huang Zongxi is too unappetizing for him.

But now, the three were picked up from the garbage heap, wiped clean, decorated, and put on their bodies. What the New Confucianism did!

It's just that there are still many people within the Neo-Confucian Party who disagree, and these people can be regarded as the 'outliers' of the Neo-Confucian Party.

- The Neo-Confucian Party does not really disagree, but feels that they jumped out too early. If Emperor Chen was fishing, the Neo-Confucian Party would be miserable.

As far as the national security report is concerned, the Neo-Confucian Party is urgently discussing whether to divide the two.

What made Chen Ming feel emotionally was that none of the boys who were very close to the Neo-Confucian Party went to provoke the 'aliens'. Chen Ming has now seen through his sons who are interested in the throne, and none of these rabbit cubs are inclined to cook dishes and are inclined to constitutional monarchy.

Even the dualism they have accepted is extremely reluctant.

The only thing that made Chen Ming feel relieved was that his sons did not deliberately pretend to be a 'dish cooking pie' in order to please him. This made Chen Ming feel very relieved.

"How many people have you inserted in that handful of outliers from the Neo-Confucian Party?"

"Your Majesty is reassured. Although there are not many people, they are all in important positions. ”

"Then you go back and pass a message to them, and let them continue to pick up topics. Let everyone discuss it properly, how can we control the emperor? ”

This is the key point of the Chinese dish cooking process, if the imperial power is restricted.

"Your Majesty......"

The voices of the people in front of Chen Ming trembled. Chen Ming could clearly 'see' that the column of qi above this person's head trembled violently. Of course, in the end, the direction of the qi column was still firmly towards Chen Ming.

This man must have been shocked in his heart. Is it a fantasy that the emperor should limit the imperial power?

But looking at Chen Ming's face and tone, it was obviously not a joke.

The man bowed down and withdrew. These secret agents, who are personally controlled by Chen Ming, only need to do things, and they don't need to have any ideas of their own.

After the man retreated, Chen Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

He also didn't know what kind of uproar his idea could cause in China. He was going to be fifty years old, half a hundred. Chen Ming is not prepared to sit on the throne until death in this life.

The world is so big, he wants to see it.

He thought that he would abdicate to his son at the age of sixty or sixty-five, and then look at his physical condition, in China, in the world, and take a walk, take a look. I had no money and no time to go out in my previous life, and I made up for it all in this life.

It is possible that he will be the first Chinese emperor to visit Europe.

There are still more than ten years to go, and I don't know when China's 'ideological enlightenment' will develop.

In the next ten years, in addition to accomplishing the grand goals he had set early, the most important thing for Chen Ming was to establish a real constitution.

His son may not be able to adapt, but neither can he.

Chen Ming's body bones are quite good. Those who live ninety or one hundred have no faith. It's perfectly okay to be seventy or eighty years old.

Even if he abdicates, he will be able to hold out for another ten years. If you protect the constitution for ten years, it will be very difficult for the royal family to get rid of the constitution.

Chen Ming now really feels that he has treated his son a little badly......
