Chapter 1003: The Big Bang of Political Parties

Timely update, when Li Kezai came to the political hall, what he saw was a chaotic scene, the ministers were noisy, Zhou Huang was generous to righteousness, and Yuan Shitai also shouted with a firm face: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!?" ”

Seeing Li Kezai appear, everyone's eyes turned over, and many people still had unbearable faces, as if they wanted to explain it to Zhou Yuan and the others. In their opinion, Zhou Yuan and the two colluded with the two courts and took advantage of the loopholes in the prime minister's election system, which was the beginning of the corruption of the government, and the emperor should not allow the old situation to collapse, and the prince must have received the emperor's order.

"Is there still Yuan Shitai? Okay, now the two sides are together......"

Yuan Shitai is a typical royal faction, and his political views are biased towards the Lion Party, believing that the country should try to let go of industry and commerce, and the energy of the upper echelons should be concentrated on military diplomacy and compete for the world, and he is just-for-tat with Zhou Huang.

"Your Majesty just said, since everyone is fighting, let's go to the Middle Pole Hall to talk about it, choose a suitable time, the theme......"

Facing the expectant gaze of stocks, Li Kezai gave an unexpected and reasonable answer: the Central Pole Hall is discussed. And what should be the theme of the discussion, his father's words in the Hongde Temple echoed in Li Kezai's heart.

Let the scholars keep the righteousness of heaven and the people, let the people have a wide and smooth way to the scholars, and on this basis, establish a governance pattern in which the prime minister leads the two houses and the political affairs hall, and establish a power structure with party struggle as the backbone, and win or defeat without breaking the bottom line, which is the last link of the Anglo-Chinese political system.

"The prime minister will be in charge of financial power and oversee the affairs of the country, and the imperial power will only care about military power and foreign affairs, and it is this change of prime minister that is discussed. Separated by the two houses and the government hall, the prime minister elected the old system. It's all going to have to change. ”

This ring covers too wide and the pattern is stacked, and Li Kezai chose the handle of this ring as the topic. This is also where he, the future emperor, is bidding for his authority, and how far will the power rise in the end. He wasn't sure.

Rao was like this, Zhou Huang, Yuan Shitai and other ministers all changed color and fell into shock. The scope of the power has not expanded much compared to before, but the complete letting of financial power has become a great symbol, which means that the emperor's power in internal affairs will be further blurred.

Yuan Shitai and Zhou Huang glanced at each other, and the original determination in their hearts also turned into apprehension, originally they just wanted to pry into the old situation. It was also expected that there would be great resistance, at least in the face of the doubts and doubts of the emperor and the crown prince. But now the old situation collapsed in the words of the prince, and the two of them will take the lead on the stage and lead the change of the situation, can they afford it?

Yang Junli, Cheng Yingde and Xiang Shanzhi looked at each other silently, their hearts churning, more than forty years ago. Although they are all young and weak, they resolutely devote themselves to the changes in the world and follow the emperor to split the world. Now that the trend of governance has changed again, let them watch Yuan Zhou and the two take the lead, and they are really unwilling.

The meeting of the Central Pole Hall scheduled for April 20 has not only completely stirred the hearts of the people in the political hall. Both houses and the people were clamoring. Ordinary people only understand this meeting as a change in the system of electing the prime minister, but the scholars know very well that the system of party struggle under the system of election of the prime minister is the core issue, and the division of imperial power and power under the system of party struggle is the fundamental issue that will be the foundation for a hundred years.

On 5 March, Liu Lun and others announced the re-establishment of the League and issued a constitution to the world through newspapers. The alliance is committed to the unity of the north and the south, the integration of the local and overseas, and the protection of the great righteousness of the Chinese people. Different from the previous constitution, which only talked about the name of righteousness, the League clearly put forward the policy of governance, emphasizing that the state should help ordinary people to keep themselves warm, should be committed to social justice, and should be based on benevolence.

On the seventh day of the third day, Duan Lindong, Shen Fuyang and others joined hands to build the Republican Association, and also learned from the League to issue a constitution. The slogan of the Republican Council is "enriching the people and strengthening the country", and its goal is almost the same as that of the League, but the specific policy of governance is to reduce taxes and loosen the restrictions, and let the talented people fight the waves on their own. …,

At this time, Zhou Huang and Yuan Shitai have not officially announced that they will join the two parties, and the party struggle has developed from the party to the "political party", and then to the new prime minister election system, there are still a series of steps to go in between.

Just this change has made the hearts of the people in the country boil. After the Republican Association and the League issued their constitutions, they also began to recruit members and establish a normalized organization. Many people, including many grassroots intellectuals, as well as some people who have not yet shaken off the thinking of the old world, feel that this is a great rebellion. Since ancient times, the country has been free from party fighting, and now in order to elect the prime minister and take charge of national politics, there are people who form a party in broad daylight and grandiose!?

However, in accordance with the spirit of the Anglo-Chinese "national ignorance and the law is feasible", a series of earth-shattering trips by the Republican Association and the League did not cause turmoil. The response of the Government Affairs Hall was to submit a document to the two houses and the Dali Yuan (national court) in accordance with the usual practice of government affairs, requesting the submission of a control charter for the party involved in the political council to ensure that the actions of the political parties would not deviate from the general interests of the Anglo-Chinese state and threaten national security and the authority of the royal family.

At this time, the people suddenly realized that this was a platform that had already been set up by the upper echelons, and that there would be great changes in the overall situation of national politics, and the measures taken by the political hall to deal with the party's participation in politics were just a formality.

The establishment of a republic and a confederacy does not mean that the role of the party is clear. In the government hall and the two houses, many people were outside the structure of these two parties, and a series of parties sprung up in March.

In the National Yuan alone, more than a dozen political parties appeared, with the Celestial Society, the Datong Society, the Freemasonry Society, and the Yingsheng Society as the heroes, each of which absorbed a lot of court members, and behind them, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, stood electors.

A group of people from the field of culture and education and bureaucracy formed the Tianren Society, they represented a balanced conservative force, and they did not want to accept young people like Zhou Huang and Yuan Shitai, but took a fancy to the old man Cheng Yingde and Xiang Shanzhi.

The Datong Society, on the other hand, incorporated the Xin-Mo and Neo-Confucian sects, as well as some marginalized members of the former Taoist Party, most of whom came from the bottom, and although they echoed the political views of the League, they were more radical than the League, demanding the implementation of a policy of suppressing the rich and helping the poor. They want to elect a prime minister who can fully represent them, and they are picking and choosing among the ministers in the government hall, or waiting for which cabinet minister will extend an olive branch to them.

Freemasonry mainly engaged in the fields of law and finance, and they emphasized the rule of law. It is hoped that the party struggle will not mess up the national law, let alone shake the national constitution. This force is the antithesis of the Cosmopolitan Society, in addition to hoping to counterbalance the possible future misdeeds of the Republican and Confederate Associations. The more immediate goal is to rebel against the Datong Society.

The backbone of the Church of the Saints is the overseas colonies, as well as the diplomatic and military affairs. The essence of the programmatic principle of this meeting is: No matter how the country's internal affairs are conducted, we overseas Chinese must not be harmed anyway. It must not hinder the state's pursuit of foreign interests, and must not harm the state's armed forces and the interests of its armed forces. Whoever wants to move our bread, we will pull his hind legs.

In addition to these clubs, there are also many soy sauce characters, making this party competition more colorful. It is like the "Imperial Society" that advocates respect for the emperor and opposes the prime minister's governance. To uphold women's rights and compete for women's qualifications for the "Kunhua Association", even Jin Yinyu, Ai Hongli and other Manchurians have formed a "Self-Reform and Strong Country Association". The essence of the Manchurian loyalty in the constitution is to participate in national politics and not to be willing to continue to be excluded from state affairs.

This is just the movement of the National House and the Provincial Yuan, the National House party faction has erupted, and the county and local councils are not to be outdone, and have formed their own parties. In March and April of the forty-third year of the Holy Way, the Anglo-Chinese country was up and down. The enthusiasm that erupted in the matter of organizing the party and participating in politics not only shocked the people of the time, but also shocked future generations. According to incomplete statistics, it was only before the Central Pole Hall Meeting, and the "Political Party Order" had not yet been promulgated. Marked by the publication of a banner in the newspapers and the announcement of the formation of a party, more than 2,600 "political parties" have sprung up throughout the country. And there are countless people who just post notices on the streets, convene meetings in teahouses or other places, and announce the formation of the party. …,

As Li Xi reviewed, the people's desire to participate in politics has already been blazing red, and once the gate is opened, the social creature of the political party will almost explode at the speed of the first universe. From the national parliament to the local courts, from the parliamentary chamber to the people, the reason why political parties have opened all over the country in one or two months is because the elements of political parties have already been in place, and there is only a layer of paper blocking them. This piece of paper is nothing but the authority and law of the old imperial power, and the smooth formation of the League and the Republican Association made the people suddenly realize that it is now the world.

At the same time as the eruption of the party, in the past month or so, public opinion in the press has not only focused on the trend of forming a party, but also on the upcoming meeting of the Central Pole Palace. Before the door of the Central Temple was opened, the Great Discussion had already started among the people.

The first big issue is the political party, what should it be......

Organizing a group to elect the prime minister in order to express political views and seek interests is not a criminal act, as long as there is a bottom line and abides by the country's constitution and national law. But how to form a group, there is a lot of article here.

This issue involves the internal mechanism of political parties, and the new political parties realize that they must first establish themselves before they can establish a new political structure for the country through party struggle.

Therefore, the League and the Republican Association, which were the first to realize this problem, began to bury themselves in the construction of a party program and establish a party system. It is not clear how to choose the prime minister, and it is necessary for all parties to discuss, and how to choose the party leader, you can always figure it out first. The rules of procedure and the election and ballot system are already in place, and it is good to revise and revise them according to their own actual conditions, but how to unite tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of electors so that everyone can speak with one voice must be practiced from scratch.

The second major issue made the leaders of the League and the Republican Congress break out in a cold sweat, and public opinion held that although the affairs of the two houses are also elected by the people, the people of the country are not clear about the election pattern of the choice of prime minister with hundreds of people, and it is difficult to achieve fairness and justice.

If the Eastern Court agrees, then the West Court has no say in the choice of prime minister, which is obviously inappropriate.

This issue made the parties realize that the system of selecting the future prime minister is likely to be not a simple struggle between the upper echelons, which further stimulated the parties to begin to change the small circle of the local courts of the National Council into a large circle that extends to a country.

The third major issue is the debate over the prime minister's election of a new system, and some people say that it would be better to let a country elect a general election, but this proposal has been criticized incompletely. Each term of office is five years, and a country now has township, county, government, province, national five-level parliament, the founding of the country for 43 years, the development has been adjusted to an election every year, every year there is an election, it has been very laborious and costly, in recent years, the call for the reform of the five-level election system in the country has become higher and higher, plus a general election of the prime minister, but also let the election of people live?

"In terms of cost, it is more convenient to choose the affairs of the hospital, according to the theory of law, the affairs of the hospital are elected by the people, representing the will of the people, and there are too few people in the national court, everyone can't see it clearly, can't touch it, and can move it down."

Several well-known current affairs commentators have held this view, and it has won the agreement of many people.

There were so many other issues that the General Assembly scheduled for 20 April was postponed to 28 April. On April 20, the emperor made an unprecedented appearance, convened the two houses and the political affairs hall, held a full-day imperial meeting, and then promulgated the "Edict on the Election of Political Parties", which clarified three points: first, the state government should be returned to the prime minister, second, the political party is legitimate, and third, the prime minister was elected and introduced into the political party system.

The emperor ordered the establishment of the Election Yuan, with the crown prince himself as the governor, subordinate to the Grand Judgment Court, and united the press, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Yuan to ensure the fairness and justice of the election. As everyone in the country knows, the emperor entrusted the crown prince with the responsibility of this change.

On April 28, the 43rd year of the Holy Dao, the Great Council of the Central Pole Temple, which attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of people, was finally held. (To be continued.)
