Begging for a monthly pass, Big Luo Luo and Little Lori are rolling on the ground

"Brother Luo Shan, don't worry, the king has traveled to the West since he was a child, and he is familiar with the Western method of party politics, but he does not know much about the truth of our Chinese sages, and it is not surprising that he wants to introduce the Western method into China."

In response to the cabinet office in the Imperial City, Zuo Zongtang said this to Luo Zenan, and his cold face had returned to calm, who would have thought that at the meeting of the Constituent Assembly just now, he was still arguing with people with red faces.

"Brother Ji, don't take it lightly! I have studied the politics of Western powers, such as England, France, the United States and other countries, and the government is not subject to the parliament, and the parliament even has the right to remove the prime minister and the president! If this is the case here, what will you feel like as the head of the cabinet? ”

Luo Zenan shook his head and sighed, unlike Zuo Zongtang, he, the military advisor and minister of the imperial study, followed Zhu Jishi all day long, and his speculation on Shangyi was naturally much more accurate, and he already knew that Zhu Jishi's mind was to gradually promote the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

It is said to be gradual, but in fact, the steps are already very large. At present, it is only May of the second year of the liberation, less than three years after Zhu Jishi raised troops in Guangdong, the constitution has been formulated, and the Constituent Assembly and the public bureaus of Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Jiangxi, Nanzhili (Jiangsu), Anhui, and Zhejiang have all been established. Such a change is no longer a reform, but a real bourgeois revolution!

Of course, compared with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the north, Zhu Ming's bourgeois revolution was much more conservative. Among them, the most conservative place is to retain the status of famous teachers and the right of the scholar class to become officials through the imperial examination. So the current civilian officials of the Zhu Ming regime. Almost 100% of them were Confucian scholars who had read the books of sages, and even Zhu Ming's officers had been brainwashed with the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch.

Therefore, the current Zhu Ming is building a new capitalist country on the basis of not overthrowing the old feudal class, and there are naturally many remnants of feudalism.

Zuo Zongtang shook his head, gently opened the brand-new "King James Constitution" in his hand, pointed to the content of the first chapter on it and said to Luo Zenan: "Brother Luo Shan, look at it, fifteen of the seventeen articles in the first chapter are to strengthen the imperial power. Can Western countries have such constitutions? ”

The "King James Constitution" of the Ming Constitution. Naturally, it means that it is determined by Zhu Da Tianzi, and of course he will not make trouble for himself and formulate a constitution that is difficult for himself as the Son of Heaven everywhere.

The Constitution of the Ming Dynasty consists of seven chapters and 78 articles. The first chapter of the book stipulates the rights and obligations of the great son.

The first article clearly stipulates that the Ming Kingdom is ruled by the Great Son of Heaven, who inherits the mandate of heaven.

Article 2 also stipulates: The great tomorrow is sacred and inviolable.

Article 3 stipulates: The son of the Ming Dynasty is the head of state of the Ming Dynasty. Dominance. It shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.

Article 4 of the Constitution stipulates that the Son of Heaven has the power to legislate. The Constituent Assembly must assist the Son of Heaven in exercising its legislative power.

Article 5 stipulates that the Son of Heaven approves the law and orders it to be promulgated and enforced.

Article 6 stipulates that the Son of Heaven shall convene the Ming Constituent Assembly, the provincial, provincial and county public bureaus, and the meeting, closure, suspension and dissolution of the Ming Constituent Assembly. All of them are done by the order of the Son of Heaven.

Article 7 states that the Son of Heaven may, in order to maintain the security of the country or to avoid calamity, issue an edict in lieu of law if it is necessary for emergency, and the edict shall be submitted to the Constituent Assembly for discussion and recommendation within 30 days of its promulgation.

Article 8 stipulates that the Son of Heaven may issue or order the government to issue such decrees as may be necessary for the execution of the law or for the maintenance of public tranquility and order, and for the enhancement of the happiness of his subjects, but without discussion and recommendation by the Constituent Assembly, the law may be changed by decree.

Article 9 stipulates that the Son of Heaven stipulates the official system of the executive branch and the remuneration of civil and military officials, and appoints and dismisses civil and military officials, but if there are special provisions in this Constitution and other laws, they shall be in accordance with their respective provisions.

Article 10 is: The Son of Heaven commands the army and navy.

Article 11 stipulates that the Son of Heaven shall stipulate the establishment and standing force of the army and navy.

Article 12 reads: The Son of Heaven declares war and concludes treaties.

Article 13 also stipulates: The Son of Heaven declares martial law. The requirements and effects of martial law shall be prescribed by the relevant laws.

Article 14 stipulates that the Son of Heaven shall confer titles, medals and other honors.

Article 15 stipulates that the Son of Heaven shall order amnesty, amnesty, reduction and reinstatement.

Article 16 stipulates that the succession of the Son of Heaven shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the royal model.

Article 17 stipulates that if the Son of Heaven is young or otherwise unable to perform the duties of the Son of Heaven, the Regent shall exercise great power in the name of the Son of Heaven in accordance with the provisions of the royal model.

"The monarchy is too strong."

Of course, Luo Zenan recited these terms backwards, and he smiled bitterly, "Among the more than 20 kings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are probably only two emperors of this dynasty, Taizu and Chengzu, who have such power. He sighed, "If only the monarchy is strong, but the civil rights stipulated in Chapter II of the Constitution are also quite heavy." ”

Chapter II of the Constitution of the Ming Dynasty has a total of 15 articles, which stipulate the rights and obligations of the subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the concept of this subject is extremely broad, and all scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, all of whom belong to the subject. There is an obligation to serve as a soldier and pay taxes. All of them are qualified to serve in civil and military positions and other positions in accordance with the provisions of the law and orders. All subjects are equal before the law and are not subject to arrest, imprisonment, interrogation, or punishment except by law. Except as provided by law, the freedom of residence and movement of the subjects shall not be violated, the property of the subjects shall not be infringed upon, and the confidentiality of the correspondence of the subjects shall not be infringed upon. In addition, subjects may exercise the right to petition with due courtesy and in accordance with the established procedures.

In fact, the rights and obligations of the subjects stipulated in the "King James Constitution" are not necessarily unfavorable to Zuo Zongtang and Luo Zenan. If Zhu Datianzi can really abide by it, everyone will not have to worry about "bombarding the meritorious building", what "speculating on the family and destroying the door, punishing the nine clans and punishing the ten clans", and there is no need to worry about what brocade clothes and guards will take people.

But the question is...... While the safety of the life and property of the scholar class was guaranteed, the pawns of the Ming Dynasty also had all the rights of the Ming subjects, just like the high-ranking scholars. That is to say, in front of the "King James Constitution", the Ming Dynasty's scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the three religions and nine streams are all equal.

"There are gains and losses in everything, and we people are guaranteed to gain ...... Hehe, this is a loss, that is, the official authority of the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the Northern Qing Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty, but it is ......"

Zuo Zongtang snorted and smiled: "But even so, the official authority of this dynasty is still above the Western countries!" He said solemnly: "Brother Luo Shan, you should know the truth that oranges are born in Huainan and are born in Huaibei, right?" The king acted in accordance with the way of the Western powers to establish constitutions and open parliaments, but this constitution and parliament are one thing in the West, and another thing in our Ming Dynasty. And this law ...... It's up to someone to do it! ”

Luo Zenan's eyes lit up: "That's right! We are all ministers of law enforcement, and the ministers of law enforcement of the Ming Dynasty are all scholars! ”

Zuo Zongtang stroked his beard and smiled proudly: "The king wants to hold a parliament and establish a constitution, and we as courtiers can't stand it, and we can't stand it...... It can't be demolished, it's a troubled time now, and there is a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the north that wants to dig up our Huaxia Taoism. After all, our Ming Dynasty is a country of famous religions, if the Ming Dynasty is demolished and the cultists of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom succeed, we will not be able to cry. ”

The situation in Beizhili and Beijing has gradually spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and Yang Xiuqing is a ruthless character who is decisive and thunderous. Most of the Manchu officials and bannermen who laid down their arms and surrendered in Beijing have already been buried in the ground! The gentry of the Northern Zhili also began to suffer, or they converted to worship God and accepted the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System". Either that's a dead end! Regarding the obstacles to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's construction of the earthly heavenly kingdom, Yang Xiuqing's butcher's knife was sharpened brightly.

Then Zuo Zongtang shrugged his shoulders and said: "It was the best policy to overcome it just now, doesn't the king like to engage in parliament and public affairs?" Then let's get involved, Luo Shan, do you think the parliament and the public bureau will really be controlled by a bunch of philistines? I think this council is still the world of scholars after all. And now we only take care of the basic ...... of the Xianghu faction Compared with silver, our Xianghu faction is definitely inferior to the Guangdong Party, but compared to talents, the ten Guangdong parties are not as good as us! Luoshan, we have to take a long-term view, Chengnan Academy, Yuelu Academy, and Shigu Academy must be done as soon as possible. As long as the energy source continues to cultivate talents that can be used in the world, the Xianghu faction will prosper for a long time, and the king can only rely on our Xianghu faction.
