Chapter 151: Xuantong's Five Great Worries

(The second more, thank you for the monthly pass of the old dish, plus more more.) )

Yang Du looked at these words, and his brows wrinkled.

It was the first time that legislation for demonstrations was left blank in the world, not to mention China, and whether or not demonstrations could be carried out depended on the permission of various governments, or there were no relevant regulations at all, and this kind of legislation was the first time.

Yang Du's mind was full of doubts, and then he read on, on the thin page, in addition to the eye-catching title, the rest was the three principles of demonstration drafted by Ye Kai.

1. Demonstrations need to comply with relevant laws and regulations, and must not violate the outline of the Constitution and relevant laws, otherwise they will be illegal.

2. The purpose of the demonstration shall not be to subvert national unity, incite ethnic separatism, glorify violent crimes, and a series of ****** acts, but support the reasonable demands of the people, otherwise it will be illegal.

3. The parade shall be notified to the relevant government departments three days in advance for emergency preparedness, and the main person in charge or organization shall be present in person as a legal person, and the legitimate interests of third parties shall not be violated during the procession, otherwise it will be illegal.

Of course, after Article 3, Ye Kai added a special point that the procession and demonstration are subject to a filing system, not an approval system, that is to say, there is no threshold for the starting point of the demonstration, but the process and purpose must comply with the legal requirements.

"How? Huizi, do you see clearly? Yang Du, who had been staring at it for a long time, finally raised his head, and Ye Kai hurriedly asked.

"I haven't heard of this 'Demonstrations Law', is this what Lianggong means?" Yang Du asked dryly.

"That's what the regent meant." Ye Kai was very crisp.

"Regent?"

"Yes, Lord Regent, isn't our constitution to make the country wear a set of legal clothes, from the monarch to all the people, this dress must be worn, and it can never be soiled."

Ye Kai then elaborated: "The regent said to me, if we want to establish a constitution in the Qing Dynasty, that is, if we want to establish a real constitution, we must do it, so how can we do it? In my opinion, we must first do a little bit, governing the country according to law, only by doing this, our constitution is not a show, our constitutional state is a real constitutional state, for this reason, this king is willing to take the lead, from the central to the local, layer by layer, until the people of the Qing Dynasty abide by it. ”

Ye Kai's eloquent rhetoric made Yang Du unable to distinguish the truth from the false, if this is the case, it is a great blessing for the country.

"How could the Regent" Yang Du thought about it, but he still didn't understand a little, and suddenly he thought of something, and raised his voice: "The regent is here for the petition group, right?" ”

"The prince is too worried, and the regent is against all the people."

In the end, the other party still found out, but Ye Kai was not surprised, if he couldn't guess it with his IQ, it would be too worthy of the title of the world's great talent.

"Worried? Lianggong, the petition group movement came and went, the court was attacked by the enemy, and the regent promulgated this law at this time, which was clearly aimed at the petition group, if so, this law Yang Du could not write. Yang Du pushed the page towards Ye Kai, and his face immediately pulled down.

"Huizi, this official said that you are too worried and you still don't believe it, if the regent really wants to suppress the petition, can he agree to peace talks, can he promise to open the Information Council quickly?"

"Peace talks? The Administrator's Yuan? Is this really? ”

Yang Du asked three questions in a row, and his face was full of greetings, the news of the peace talks was still in a highly confidential stage, of course he didn't know, and Ye Kai also consciously released the news in advance.

"The regent has already appointed his official to negotiate with the Petition Comrades Association, is this still false? It's just that the edict has not been issued for the time being, so I'm afraid it will disturb the people. ”

Yang Du opened his mouth slightly, and Ye Kai took advantage of the situation to continue: "If you don't believe it, then after the peace talks between the officials are reached, it will not be too late for you to compile this law." ”

Ye Kai stood up with a resolute attitude, "This official will do what he says, and he will never deceive the emperor." ”

"Yang" Yang Du already regretted what he said just now, but he didn't know what to do next for the sake of face, so he gritted his teeth and said after thinking about it for a long time: "Okay, Yang Du is waiting for the good news of the good father, and when the time comes, there will be no two words." ”

Yang Du stuffed the page in his long shirt and patted his chest to reassure.

"Good!"

Ye Kai's applause means that the cooperation between the two is on track, and he, who controls the cooperation process with one hand, is destined not to make Yang Du wait too long, just after the Lunar New Year, a message from the palace instantly detonated the shock, and the ordinary people who had just taken off their winter clothes became hot again.

"I take the body of the leader of the people, bear the responsibility of the prosperity and strength of the Holy Dynasty, and now the state affairs are more difficult, I feel deeply worried, fortunately, the Guangxu Emperor seeks to strengthen the revolution, with immeasurable courage and perseverance, change the law of the ancestors, and practice constitutional politics, and the edict says: The power is unified in the imperial court, and the public opinion of the government is in order to establish the foundation of the country for ten thousand years, and since then the monarch and the people have been one, and the breath is connected. If this is the case, it will not be long before the government is in harmony.

However, the study of constitutionalism has been spread in the West, and the wisdom of the people has not been opened, and everything has not been prepared.

The former Beijing division is in turmoil, and all the people are in motion, please open the parliament as soon as possible and strive for results.

It will take time to eradicate the accumulated defects, clearly define the obligations, and formulate the legal code, and the hearts of the people are very anxious.

If the code is established and the charter is also determined, those who suddenly have a chaotic government refuse to follow it, regard the glorious heavenly law as a mustard, and regard the hearts of all the people as chaff food, and I am worried again.

Therefore, after nine years of constitutionalism, we should never change it, and governing the country according to law must be mentioned as the first to obey Chen, so that I can be under the same law with all the people, and open a precedent for respecting the law and blessing the law, and it will not be extinguished for thousands of years, and the essence of this constitutionalism is also my wish.

However, the heart of the people can not be disappointed, so he led the minister of the guard to drive in person, on behalf of the court, and the people in detail, in order to peace, the people do not harm the public welfare with private opinions, do not defeat the big plan with small anger, and urge the collegiate to overflow the hearts of the people. ”

On January 27, the second year of Xuantong, the edict written by Zhu Pen was only 400 words, but it caused a sensation throughout the country, had a great impact, and could be called a milestone significance. They analyzed this edict word by word, and were greatly moved, the imperial court not only reaffirmed its determination to establish a constitution, but also lowered its status for the first time to negotiate face-to-face with the common people, which was a rare thing that had not been seen for many years in the feudal era.

Most of the ordinary people watched it lively, but for the constitutionalists at that time, what they valued most was the words written on the will, such as "governing the country according to law" and "the same responsibility of the monarch and the people", and even later generations of politicians and jurists gave high praise, unanimously believing that this was the real beginning of China's constitutional history, and the world was known as the five major worries in the early years of Xuantong.

Who is the author of this edict? Historians have always had different views, some people say that it is the regent Zaifeng himself, and some people say that it is the constitutionalist faction of the imperial court, such as Zai Ze, Dai Hongci and others, speculation is speculation, no one has conclusive evidence, they have searched the archives of the Military Aircraft Department and have not found the record of this day, because the historical data is unknown, this has become a mystery that can never be solved, whenever reading this history, many people in later generations have hung their heads and regretted it, crying out.
