(The third update on the shelves, please subscribe!) Keep stacking. ）

The feudal dynasty used the reverence of its subjects to maintain its existence, and the modern government used votes or achievements to determine its legitimacy, however, these two theories are not valid at the moment, and the stormy Qing court has lost the hearts of the people, and there is an irreparable rift between the bottom and the top, and the upper and lower levels are separated from morality, and the collapse of such an empire is just around the corner.

How do you tie the bottom and top back together? Ye Kai's answer is to govern the country according to law.

This seemingly invisible but solid bond can bind the boiling people to a reasonable and uncontrolled range. If you have a demand, you can, please be orderly, if you are rejected, please keep your mouth shut, because your ideas are not realistic, and if you don't stick to it, sorry, you will be prosecuted for violating the law. This is the most important way to solve the current dilemma, and in the future, it is also a compulsory course for the people.

Take the previous petition movement as an example, the people can express their wishes at will, and the government's reasonable response was pointed out by Qianfu, in the final analysis, the Qing court suffered from no theoretical basis, and at this critical moment, Ye Kai sent the theory of governing the country according to law.

The official dry sentence "Quickly open the Congress, I just don't agree", will only the people get farther and farther away from you, if it is left in the previous dynasties, it may still be effective, but the times have changed, the west wind is moving eastward, and the concept of monarchs and ministers that has been maintained for more than 2,000 years has begun to be changed, and the status of the government has changed from looking down to looking up, and even faintly has a tendency to look up, especially in the last three years of the Qing Dynasty that was constantly pushed by public opinion.

Only by implementing the rule of law can the imperial court once again stand at the highest moral level, and its voice can be convinced, and little by little it can improve its authority that has fallen below the bottom line.

And these are obviously not all understood by Zaifeng for a while.

"Governing the country according to the law can really mean that the king is alleviating the current predicament."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zaifeng didn't know how to express his thoughts, Ye Kai's set was too advanced, and he only listened to it.

"This is the case in all constitutional states in Europe and the United States, the people are under the law, and the law is greater than the officials, since we want to learn from others, we can't just learn from the skin, the regent, this is the fundamental."

Ye Kai didn't expect Zaifeng to accept it completely, so he could only use the examples of Western countries to convince him.

"What you said is also right, we are a backward country, we are backward, since we want to learn, we must learn deeply, if this rule of law can really make the world peaceful, your good ministers are indispensable."

"The regent has won the award, this credit is not in Liangbi, governing the country according to law, whether it is feasible or not, the key depends on the regent."

Ye Kai kicked the ball back, and of course Zaifeng didn't understand the medicine in the former's gourd.

"This king?"

"The method that Liangbi said is indeed to save the current situation, but if it is just an empty word, it is useless, governing the country according to law, focusing on the word "governance", there is a law must be followed, and violations must be investigated, only in this way can the rule of law be implemented, the regent should take the lead in setting an example, taking the lead for the people of the world, only the upper and lower effects, can the people be convinced, our waist can be hardened, and the prestige of the court can slowly gather. ”

If the person who stipulates the law is the first to stand up and destroy it, then governing the country according to law is an empty word, and this kind of impact is even worse, either you don't do it, or you have to do it well.

Ye Kai said this, Zaifeng is much easier to understand, in the final analysis, Zaifeng is a person with no political ambitions, and the series of struggles he has done are just for the peace of the world and the eternal throne, so of course he will not object.

"Of course, at the beginning of the reign of this king, he ordered the world to proclaim that from the court to the ministers, they all abide by the King James Constitution, always follow it, and must not exceed it. Zaifeng gave an affirmative answer.

"The minister also believes that the regent will abide by it, so if the world is peaceful in the future, the regent only needs to thank himself."

Hearing Zaifeng's assurance, Ye Kai opened his mouth and said with a smile, of course, the recipe he prescribed was still lacking the most important medicinal materials.

"Governing the country according to law, the law first, this law-making department is not trivial, the Western constitutional state is the law of the Congress, we will naturally do the same in the future, but now that the Congress has not opened, the heavy responsibility of the law falls on the Constitutional Editing and Revision Museum and the Revision Law Museum, these two museums are mainly in the Constitutional Editing and Checking Museum, responsible for translating Western constitutional books, formulating legal programs, with important functions and a prominent position."

Ye Kai's implication is that Zaifeng takes the Constitutional Editing and Revision Museum in his hands, since he wants to govern the country according to law, at least there must be a law to follow, and the law is cultivated by people in the final analysis, of course, it will be mixed with the will of the individual, as for who this law favors and who is beneficial, it is particularly critical at this time.

The person who makes the law must be his own person, and Zaifeng understands this meaning very well.

"Who is in charge of the Constitutional Hall?" Zaifeng asked.

"Yang Du" Ye Kai replied truthfully.

Of course, this person Zaifeng remembered that before the prison of the country, Yang Du was appointed by the Qing court as the main compiler of the constitutional outline, and was ordered to preach legal knowledge with the princes and ministers, he not only had extensive contacts with the civil constitutionalists, he was the president of the Hunan Constitutional Association, and had a close personal relationship with Yuan Shikai.

It is obviously inappropriate for such a person to occupy such an important position.

"The Constitutional Editorial Hall has set up a prime minister to be in charge of all legal affairs of the imperial court." Zaifeng looked at Ye Kai on the side and said, "Let's be the minister of law." ”

"It's not appropriate to let the minister, the Ministry of Law is still in the book, and Lord Dai Hongci Dai is proficient in Western law, which is more suitable than the minister." Ye Kai stood up and said hurriedly.

"You don't have to shirk, this king trusts you, since you proposed this method, it is most appropriate for you to do it." Seeing that Ye Kai still looked reluctant, Zaifeng slowed down and continued: "Although he is one of the five ministers who went abroad, you may not be as good as him in terms of legal knowledge, but if you want to ask who is most proficient in the king's mind, he is not as good as you, so you should come." ”

After Zaifeng finished speaking, he no longer looked at Ye Kai, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it to himself, and there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

"The minister received the order, and he will never disappoint the regent's entrustment, for the sake of peace in the world, the minister is the liver and brain, and it is incumbent on him." Ye Kai took advantage of the situation to show his loyalty, what he said was right, as for whose world it is, it is another matter.

"Liver and brain? How can it be so serious as you say, being the Minister of Law, and not letting you lead the troops to war, you don't have to make such a fuss. Putting down the teacup, Zaifeng said a very cold joke.

"Yes, yes."

Ye Kai laughed and said, of course he had to laugh, Zaifeng, who was only a fist away, would not have thought that the law, the reins that were born to bind power, might one day also tie his hands and feet, as long as he was still in power.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Kai headed towards the next goal.

"The minister still has something to say, and the regent is afraid that he will continue to listen to the minister's clamor again."

"Say it." Zaifeng waved his hand, since he had something to say, of course he would not refuse.

"Governing the country according to the law is a long-term plan, and it must be accumulated over time to achieve results. Ye Kai carefully chose the words, and said in words that were completely acceptable to the other party: "How to channel the public opinion that has been stirred up by the petition tide is the top priority.
