Chapter 90: Split (8)

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo and I withdrew from the emperor's bedroom. Suddenly, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but say to me: "Shaoran, changing the yuan system and rectifying the dynasty program is to establish a politically clear court, which is a legitimate thing; But we should also pay attention to moderation, otherwise there will be a big mess. ”

I couldn't help but say, "Sikong means that he is worried that Shaoran will not be able to clean up the mess that may arise?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "Of course not; The old man means that the talented scholars in this world only wish to be a marquis and worship the prime minister; If the feudal system is completely abolished, how many people in the world are willing to serve the country again? ”

I said, "I understand what you mean, but our purpose is not to gain the service of the scholars, but to gain the approval of the people of the world; You shouldn't be unaware of the so-called "those who win the hearts of the people win the world", right? ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but groan, and then hesitated again: "Having said that, are you sure that you are sure to deal with the chaos that will arise in the future?" ”

I lowered the corners of my mouth and said, "Since I have implemented the plan to abolish the legislature, I must be sure to deal with the changes that may arise in the future; But the question is, are you willing to support me? ”

"Ugh." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's it, the old man will gamble again." ”

Speaking of which, Dong Zhuoken was in favor of implementing the plan to abolish the establishment before, in addition to the reason for the instructions of the Empress Dowager, he also had a gambling mentality. How can I not understand this kind of thinking about him? However, in order to make our country and nation stronger earlier, even if there is an endless sea of swords and fires ahead at this moment, I have to break through.

The next morning, Liu Xie asked me to submit the contents of the proposal after the restructuring, and then ordered someone to read it to the ministers, intending to try to see how they reacted.

As for the content of the restructuring, I have already written a written report, the outline of which is as follows: The Son of Heaven wants to change the yuan and change the system, so as to rectify the society, make the country rich and strengthen the people, and establish a socialist country with advanced civilization and equality for all. Chen Chenglian thought that if he wanted to innovate, he had to reform it thoroughly.

First, the feudal aristocratic etiquette system was abolished, and the "feudal system" was changed to the "county system". As Chen Chenglian said, the world should be the world of the people of the world. The lifeblood of the nation shall be the supreme one, and all citizens within the state shall obey the laws of the land, including the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven governs the country, and he should act according to reason, not with respect. Except for the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels, the people should treat each other as equals and live in harmony, and there should be no distinction between the superior and the inferior, nor should there be discrimination between race and gender.

Second, the system of state power. It can take the form of a ruling cabinet. The emperor is the supreme administrator and oversees all administrative powers of the state. His subordinates have their own duties, and Szeto is in charge of education and justice; Sikong is responsible for internal affairs and foreign affairs; The lieutenant is in charge of national defence and law and order. The three are not subordinate to each other, and they are all under the control of the emperor.

In general, the system of government does not seem to be very different from that of the previous system. However, the difference lies in the fact that it needs to be clearly stipulated in the national law. In order to prevent the emperor from abusing power for personal gain due to excessive power in the future, such as corruption and bribery during the emperor's reign, and subversion of the state power system, the three princes can jointly show the world and impeach the emperor in accordance with the law.

In addition, in order to prevent the Three Princes from plotting against each other and attempting to usurp power, each of them was assigned an adjutant to supervise and assist him in handling his daily official duties. If it is found that the three dukes have committed acts that violate the law of the country, the adjutant should report to the Son of Heaven in a timely manner, and once the Son of Heaven verifies the facts, he can order the removal of the three dukes from all powers in accordance with the law.

As mentioned above, from the emperor to the commoners, they are all equal before the law of the country! The administrative system of the state and county may also be of this nature.

Furthermore, the system of military service. In addition to the previous "rank system", it is advisable to adopt the "rank system" in addition to the previous "rank system". That is, the level of military rank determines the number of commanders; The level of military rank determines the number of salaries.

The advantage of adopting this military system is that if the commander is unfortunately killed in battle during the march and there is no adjutant general to take over the responsibility of the whole army, the officer with the highest rank will assume the responsibility of temporary command.

Fourth, the implementation of people's livelihood policies should be within the scope of national production capacity, and a reasonable tax rate should be implemented. In addition, all the taxes and grains collected should be classified as public ownership of the state and used for the development of the country and the construction of people's livelihood. All public officials, including the emperor, will receive the prescribed amount of money from the treasury according to their rank. The emperor will no longer have the right to take money from the treasury for personal use.

The so-called "country" means that there is a country first, and then there can be a home. As long as the country is strong, the family will naturally be rich. As a public servant of the state, he should bear in mind that he or she must uphold the noble character of "dedicating himself to the country and the people", and should not commit despicable acts such as "undermining national stability and national unity" for personal gain. For example, there is a saying in Chen Chenglian's hometown, "If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and catch mice". Therefore, I hope that all colleagues will be cautious.

When Xun You read out the above outlines I wrote, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and the entire court was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly falling on the ground.

However, something surprising happened. Suddenly, Yuan Kui spoke again: "Your Majesty, the old minister Yuan Kui thinks that Shangshu Ling Shaoran spoke wildly, trampled on the discipline, and rebelled against the etiquette and law, which was rebellion; According to the law of the country, the death penalty can be reduced by one degree, and the border can be assigned. ”

At this time, Yuan Ji on the side also said: "Yuan Ji, the servant of the minister, seconded the words of the prince!" ”

Then, the ministers of the Yuan family also chimed in: "The ministers also seconded the words of the Taifu!" ”

I couldn't help but sneer to myself, you selfish bastards, sooner or later you will regret it.

Liu Xie seemed to be quite helpless, just because most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed, which made him, the newly appointed emperor, helpless.

Suddenly, Li Ru suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister ordered Li Ru to think that Shangshu Ling Shaoran was loyal to the country, so if there was an offense in his words, he should not be punished." ”

"Hmm." But seeing Yuan Kui groaning and frowning, he was very unhappy in his heart.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who had been silent, also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister Sikong Dong Zhuo seconded what Lang Zhongling said. ”

At this time, Yuan Kui interrupted again: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Shangshu Ling Shaoran has a backbone, and he has not endangered the Han Society, even if he is not sentenced to be allocated, he should be dismissed, demoted to a commoner, and he will never be hired again." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Ji and the others hurriedly echoed: "The ministers seconded it." ”

At this moment, Dong Zhuo's face was full of anger. He wanted to go crazy, but he had no choice but to endure it secretly.

"Ugh." Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh deeply, and immediately said: "Spread my will, remove Shaoran from the post of Shangshu Ling, and demote him to a commoner-" Speaking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but look at me, his eyes were full of helpless apologies, and then he continued: "And I will never be hired again, and I will implement it immediately; Okay, that's all for today's court meeting, let's disperse the court. ”

"No." Xun Yougong responded to the order, and shouted forward: "The Son of Heaven is driving, retreat!" ”

The ministers bowed and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Suddenly, Yuan Kui looked at me and snorted contemptuously, as if to say: Zhuzi, fighting with the old man, you are still far behind.

However, I secretly sneered. Originally, if Yuan Kui had been able to follow my advice, he would have been able to avoid being wiped out in the future. However, he was reluctant to give up the little benefit he had, and insisted on excluding me. Although he could get a lot of benefits, it also ended up being wiped out.

In other words, Dong Zhuo's personality was originally more domineering and arrogant. With me by his side, he is still more able to restrain himself. But now that I'm leaving, I'm afraid that no one will have enough power to let him restrain himself.

Perhaps, I did not plan to implement the measure of deposing the emperor before, and now there will be no such end. It's a causal relationship. But if I hadn't done that, the unjust way of the world wouldn't have changed because of me. This is also a causal relationship. So, I didn't fail, the road to success has just begun.
