[Cheers to yourself a ......, 1K!] 】

By the forty-third year of the current Holy Dao, the pattern of "one head and four claws" in the political hall has been very stable, the head is the prime minister, and the four claws are the governor of the Privy Council, referred to as the cardinal minister, the governor of the Economic Planning Yuan, that is, the former envoy of the Accounting Yuan, referred to as the prime minister, the governor of the General Affairs Yuan, referred to as the general minister, and the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, referred to as the auxiliary minister.

Although Zhou Huang is only the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, which is subordinate to the Economic Planning Yuan, is a director of the Ministry of Commerce, and is called the Five Tails together with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Literature, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Law. After all, after the abolition of the General Administration of North and South Affairs, these five ministries have the heaviest power, and they want to be promoted to the five ministers.

Zhou Huang was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce in the thirty-ninth year of the Holy Dao, and it was a coincidence that he was exactly thirty-nine years old at the time, and he was forty-three years old this year, and his future was infinitely bright, if there was no accident, he would be a candidate for prime minister ten years later.

But today's world is turbulent, and the general trend is rolling down, and he is no longer willing to let him grind his qualifications slowly, what is Liu Lun, the director of the Eastern Academy, looking for him? asked him to recommend himself to the emperor as the prime minister, and Liu Lun led the Eastern Yuan Renshe, Moshe and other parties to ensure that he was elected to the throne.

Zhou Huang jumped up, his hair standing on his body, this is a party to seek power, it is a big rebellion!

Forming a party is no longer a taboo in Yinghua, as far as Zhou Huang himself is concerned, he is a native of Chongqing, Sichuan, and has been involved in party affairs since middle school.

The crazy people in the leisure club know that they have a party, so if you don't want to associate with people, what do you want to do in the future? At this time, Yinghua graduated from middle school and was a talent, and those who took this road did not seek their own wealth in the future, but wanted to do a career.

Zhou Huang not only formed a party. He is also an activist, and he is the head of several meetings in the Whampoa Academy, and when he was in charge of tax affairs in the Prison Academy, he also organized the "Iron Hand Club" by himself. Promote the idea that national taxes are important, taxes and everything. The reason why he was able to rise to the top, and he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce and ascended to the position of a second-class official was also due to his profound attainments in the tax system and the extraordinary influence of the iron hand he formed in the economic circles of the country.

But this "party" and the party that Liu Lun wants him to form are fundamentally different things.

The party that Zhou Huang participated in before was not a hobby organization. It is an academic ideological organization, which does not involve government affairs and court power at all. Just as the Japanese scholar Aoki Kunyang said in "Song Ying Comparison", "My Heavenly Dynasty will be full of parties, from the weak crown of the young to the late old, no one is not a party, and women are not exempt, this is the scene of the Song Dynasty." In the Song Dynasty, juju, poetry and painting, literature and history, lyrics, everything was the party. The scholars are all the same, and there is no distinction between the high and the low. ”

There are also parties involved in government affairs and government affairs, and they are very prosperous in the country. But they are all in the East and West Houses and the local houses, and the houses have existed since the establishment of the House of Representatives. The "People's Association" of the Western Yuan of the People's Republic of China, also known as the "Jin Party", is a group that fights with the political affairs hall and fights for the legal power of industrial and commercial affairs such as taxation and finance. Although Wang Blind has been dead for many years, this party has been inherited, and it competes with the political hall and even the emperor for the power of people's livelihood, culture and education.

In short, in the House of Representatives, everyone is a party, not a party. It's also a monster, and most of the next term won't be able to stay, because if you don't have a party, you won't achieve anything, and the elector doesn't want to continue to vote for a guy who is a fool.

In other words, in Yinghua, forming a party is not a taboo at all. It's human nature.

What Liu Lun asked Zhou Huang to do, the nature of the party he formed was completely different. At this time, Yinghua formed a party to play, a party to advocate, and a party to assert its rights, which did not involve the power of the government. And Liu Lun and Zhou Huang joined forces to form a party to seek "political power", this "party" is black, and in the old world, it is light to kill the head.

Take the Song Dynasty as an example, a minister united with Taiwan, with public opinion, and said to the emperor, I have to be the ruler, look, I have these, that, so many people behind me, what kind of behavior is this?

Of course, Yinghua is now in the world, and the country is not the private property of the royal family, as far as the fundamental legal principle is concerned, it is no longer a big perverse thing to form a party to seek power, and the prime minister's election system has actually opened the door to this matter.

But on the practical level, above the jurisprudence, the situation is complicated.

First of all, the government hall and the two houses are still parallel, the government hall is examined, and the two houses are elected. There is a thousand-year-old tradition of the Chinese imperial examination, Yinghua scholars are mostly in the official career, Yinghua, the locomotive, is in charge of the steering wheel, and the selected can only be yelled on the side at other times except for being able to put half a foot on the brake.

Therefore, even if there is a system of election of prime ministers, the prime minister is first nominated by the emperor, and the prime minister who is elected does not regard the two houses as their parents, and they have to rub the circle and flatten when they have the opportunity, and the two are in a situation of cooperation in contention. As soon as the first prime minister Xue Xue came to power, he demolished the two houses, although he solved many of his own problems, but for those who failed in the re-election, it was not just crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but it was in vain.

As far as this situation is concerned, it is impossible to form a party between the government hall and the two houses, and once a party is formed, this situation will be destroyed, and retrospectively going up will change the balance of the Anglo-Chinese "examination" faction and the "election" faction. For the "examiners", that is, the bureaucrats, it is a betrayal. Even if the emperor did not pursue Zhou Huang, the entire bureaucracy would label Zhou Huang, a "traitor", a "great rebellion." On the surface, this hat said that Zhou Huang was a great rebellion against the emperor and the country, but in essence, it meant that he was a great rebellion against their bureaucracy.

This leads to the second question, although the bureaucracy's resistance is motivated by the defense of its own status and interests, it is not unreasonable. Just imagine, if the bureaucracy does not cling to the pattern of the "election" faction of the two houses, but forms a party with the two houses in order to compete for the position of prime minister, as Liu Lun proposed, then the power struggle for the position of prime minister will not simply be carried out in the general discussion of the election of the prime minister, nor will it only be carried out in the party struggle between the two houses, but will spread to the state governance of the political hall.

If this move is customized, Zhou Huang can almost clearly describe the future: the cabinet ministers who have the opportunity to ascend to the position of prime minister, unite his group of people, do everything possible to harm the current prime minister, and embarrass the prime minister in various matters. In order to maintain his power, ensure the smooth flow of government decrees, and even prevent people from hacking, the prime minister did everything possible to suppress his colleagues, appoint private individuals, and put the entire political hall under his control.

Not only is the political hall smoky. In order to win over the faction that supported him in the two houses, the prime minister also tried every possible way to give up the power of the law, and in the end, the two houses became a hall of words, just like the political hall. And to ensure that the cooperation between the two sides continues. Each has its own interests, and then they have to deal with the prime minister's election system......

This is a door of sin that, once opened, will replace governance and become the main vein of all activities in the Council and in both chambers.

The only good thing is that the prime minister and the two houses are free of their hands and feet, and they want to do something big. There will be much less involvement, and there will be much less fighting and involvement between the two. And the problem of Yinghua now is here, the political hall and the two houses have gradually changed from the posture of leading the country in the past to being pushed by the country.

The government hall and the two houses competed, and now it has gradually evolved into a fight for the benefit of the people. When one thing floats to the level of national politics, the dispute between the two often leads to bad results. It's like when Ba Xu became prime minister. Changing the system of division of provinces and provinces should bring the power of agricultural taxation to the government hall to ensure the prosperity of industry and commerce. The interests of the peasants are not greatly encroached upon, and at the same time, the difference between the rich and poor provinces is balanced. After several years of fighting with the two chambers, the government hall only received a name, the rich provinces complained, the poor provinces did not benefit much, the peasants' profits were much less than expected, the government hall also carried the infamy, and a large number of people in the two houses also resigned themselves from power.

Only by fighting can a system be formed, and only by having a system can we take advantage of the trend, which is the consensus of the Anglo-Chinese government and the opposition. But there are limits to this contention. Especially in the power of political affairs. Yinghua's current pattern has come out step by step over the past few decades, and it can't be moved casually. If the established pattern of the political hall and the two houses is to be changed, it is an earth-shattering event, and Zhou Huang naturally has to think about the worst outcome.

This series of deductions omitted the emperor, and the emperor was there, which could curb the disadvantages of party strife. Let it not harm the country?

This brings us to the third point of this matter, how will the emperor see the changes in the structure of the political hall and the two houses?

In the more than ten years since the unification of China, the emperor has repeatedly taken power, and the answer is self-evident. How could the emperor tolerate the two parties joining hands to control the overall situation, but he himself was pushed to the edge? Not only could the emperor not tolerate it, but also most of the countrymen, especially ordinary people who were not qualified to choose people.

In the eyes of these people, the country depends on the emperor's sage, and even if the good life is not given by the emperor, it is the emperor who leads the way and earns it with them. You bureaucrats and court officials, one lion and one tiger, just want to drive away the only emperor who can control you, and then you can join hands and eat people with impunity, right?

What the? Are you thinking about the future? The current emperor Shengming is not equal to the future emperor Shengming? Who cares about the future? You scholars, you like to fool people about what to do in the future. Do you have to do it for your own benefit? In addition to eating and drinking enough and not being bullied, what benefits can we ordinary people have? Do you still need to do this, every pig knows it!

There is an emperor above, and there are small people below, and they should not tolerate such party fighting.

There is another reason why Zhou Huang was shocked by this matter and subconsciously objected, that is, at this time, the Anglo-Chinese bureaucracy had multiple names, as Aoki Kunyang said, the Song style was revived. When the treatment of Anglo-Chinese officials was directly after that of the Song Dynasty, although there was corruption, it was only flourishing overseas, and the degree was far less than that of the old world.

Yinghua opened the world, established a country where the monarch and the people agreed, and the scholars who grew up under the influence of the righteousness of heaven and earth have a sense of responsibility in the world, and then there is the background of Confucianism in the people and the prosperity of public opinion in the temple and the newspaper industry, and the society also attaches great importance to personal morality, so the officials all take the virtue of the gentleman as the criterion. In Delhi, it is very important for a gentleman to be a group and not a party. This does not mean that the party does not form a party, but that it does not involve the party in political affairs, but governs the government with the intention of moderation.

Of course, the Yinghua officialdom is not clear, and the virtue of a gentleman is also something on the surface, but at least the atmosphere of the general environment is like this. Therefore, once you are an official, you will be very cautious about forming a party. Poetry, painting, lyrics, music, academic and other clubs are no problem, but similar to fellow villagers and classmates, although there are clubs in the Anglo-Chinese officialdom, they are very low-key.

Everyone knows that this kind of club is conducive to forming a party for profit, and it is just used for friendship, and it is very scrupulous to engage in deeper things. The newspapers in the country are most fond of spying on this kind of affair, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also likes to start with this kind of relationship to investigate favoritism.

Regardless of whether it was out of public or selfish intentions, Zhou Huang regarded Liu Lun's proposal as a letter of poisonous snakes, and even Liu Lun, who respected him very much, was extremely disgusted.

Zhou Huang calmed down and said coldly to Liu Lun: "Liu Yuanshi, President Liu, you are going to cause trouble in the world!" Oh, I forgot, you've been in trouble for a while. ”

Over fifty years old, Liu Lun, who has a wide forehead and square face, is upright, his deep eyes are full of calm, and the dusty aura of the Heavenly Temple on his body is extremely rich.

Listen to Zhou Huang call him the chief sacrifice. also mentioned the past, Liu Lun smiled faintly: "Zhou Chaosan (Zhou Huang's title is Chaosan doctor), the reason why the world is prosperous is that it can enter the world." Just when everyone is trying to gain their own interests, it seems that thousands of horses are galloping, and the dust and smoke are noisy, in this regard, the world has been in chaos, but it is just orderly in chaos. ”

"That's what happened 10 years ago, and I don't come out of it. There will always be people in the Heavenly Temple, if they don't come out at that time, they will come out in the future, and when things don't come out, they will also come out. I can take responsibility for it, and I can restrain the harm, but when it comes out to others, it's not like that. ”

Ten years ago. Although the north and the south are unified, there are many estrangements. At that time, the League was dissolved, and the North-South Affairs Department was dissolved. In addition to the political affairs hall can also pay attention to maintaining the integration of the north and the south, the pattern of the south being strong and the north being weak, and the strong eating the weak meat is gradually emerging. After all, at that time, except for Shandong, other places were still in a state of "constitutional training".

Not only Jiangnan Lingnan Industry and Commerce overpressed the north with capital, but the political affairs hall also discriminated against in many matters, and the most prominent contradiction was cultural and educational affairs. Northern scholars were heavily censored, and very few were able to enter the center of the court. The schools in the North have more courses for the sins of the past than in the South, and the textbooks are also made separately. The court encouraged southern academics to run schools in the north, while the north was subject to many restrictions on running its own schools.

Against this backdrop, a major event happened ten years ago. The pedantic masters of several primary schools in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, were dissatisfied with the complete rejection of the Manchu Kangxi Emperor in the Mengxue textbooks set by the court, and in righteous indignation, they preached the "Kangxi Hadith" to the students. It took more than half a year before someone denounced that the Kaifeng prefect had arrested these masters for violating the principles and righteousness of the imperial court, and was also preparing to include the case in the scope of the trial of the grand court.

The prefect's visit not only provoked a backlash from Kaifeng's academic circles. The teachers went on strike and marched through the streets, and many middle school students also made an uproar, which turned into a riot, with several fires and 20 or 30 dead and injured.

Not only did the prefect jump like thunder, but the governor of Henan also took a tough stance and prepared to deal with the crimes of Kaifeng teachers and students. Just as a storm was about to make Xu Juan Henan, Liu Lun, who was patrolling in Henan, finally couldn't help but stand up.

Liu Lun is one of the chief sacrifices of the Heavenly Temple Parade Sacrifice Society, and he should not interfere in mundane affairs. But he has been in the north for many years, and he has a deep sense of the difference between the hearts of the north and the south. He believed that the government's move was too hasty, and that it was even more convenient to use the stick to liquidate the crimes of the Manchus.

This matter is just a trivial matter, it should be written to text, and the people to the people, and there is no need for the government to come forward in such a hurry and let the situation escalate. Seeing that it would evolve into a great storm in the hearts of the north and the south, in order to save the situation, he could no longer care about the precepts of the Heavenly Temple.

Although Liu Lun had announced his departure from the Heavenly Temple before he stood up, he was a disciple of Peng Weixin, the great sin of the Heavenly Temple Holy Sect, and after Peng Weixin's death, the Holy Sect developed rapidly under his leadership and became a major branch of the Heavenly Temple, with deep roots in the education system. As soon as he appeared, the matter deteriorated into Tianmiao's involvement in politics.

There are already many branches of the Heavenly Temple, even if the parade of sacrifices said that Liu Lun had left the Heavenly Temple, his words and deeds had nothing to do with the Heavenly Temple, and the branches with deep roots were also cautiously silent, but there were still many sacrifices in the Heavenly Temple such as the Holy Sect Renzong who came forward to speak to the newspaper in solidarity with Liu Lun, and public opinion in the country was loud.

This matter finally attracted the emperor to come forward, and the result made the hearts of the people tremble, the emperor waved a big stick, did not let go of a single person, and all of them were guilty!

The Kaifeng master who preached the Kangxi Hadith was all drawn to the Great Judgment Court, and what was waiting for them was a traitor hat and a few years of traitor crimes. The emperor did not punish the master and the students for the crime of going to the street, but the smashing and burning after going to the street were all counted on their heads, and the master was punished for the crime of instigation, and the specific action was severely punished according to the criminal case, and the three people who set the fire were even beheaded. Although the students were minors, they were all sentenced to exile and sent to Liaodong for "labor reform".

On the side of the government, down to the prefect and up to the governor, they were all taken off their hats and titles because they did not investigate in advance and acted rashly afterwards. The special chamber of the state court also sentenced them and more than a dozen officials to prison terms ranging from one to three years.

Liu Lun was detained on the charge of instigating the Heavenly Temple to get involved in politics, violating the "Religious Order" and other crimes, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Liu Lun did not squat for ten years, was released from prison after six years, and then devoted himself to the affairs of the hospital, turned to speak for the people, and is now one of the leaders of the Eastern Hospital.

Hearing Liu Lun's words, Zhou Huang was slightly annoyed, and said with emotion: "Liu Shetou, you really have the wind of a blind man......

Back then, Wang Blind Man also acted like this in the Wuxi Straight Road case, taking himself as a sacrifice to hit the muzzle of the national law, and finally let the two courts break the hammer of the militaristic case in the hands of the emperor and the court.

Liu Lun can become the leader of the Eastern Courtyard, which also comes from his body similar to the wind and bones of Wang Blind, compared to Wang Blind, Liu Lun, who was born in the Heavenly Temple, is more restrained, but he can not move, and his movements are amazing.

It is precisely because of his admiration for Liu Lun that Zhou Huang has dealings with him, and he does not shy away from meeting him in public, but he didn't expect that this guy would push him down such a deep pit!

Liu Lun said firmly: "The pattern of the two houses and the political hall must be changed!" If the emperor remains silent, it will be difficult to report that this situation will not evolve to the bad side. In this case, we have to go head-on and promote you as prime minister, which is also the key to turning this collapse into a victory! ”

He stared at Zhou Huang deeply: "Zhou Chaosan, you are a talented person and a virtuous person, today's you, just like me ten years ago, in the face of the chaos in the hearts of the people in the north and south, I stood up again, do you dare to stand up!?" ”

Zhou Huang deeply agrees with the collapse that Liu Lun said, not to mention that the competition pattern between the two houses and the political hall has dragged down the country and harmed the people, just say that the emperor has not spoken for a long time, and this matter seems to be quite a metaphor. What if the emperor is seriously ill? What if the emperor chooses a non-human and fights with the two houses and the government hall? Or if the emperor suddenly wants to take back the power of the prime minister, so that the national political pattern that is sailing smoothly suddenly shrinks, then everyone can only watch?

Seeing Zhou Huang's eyes flickering, Liu Lun knew that he understood the key behind this matter, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is not forever saintly...... And Your Majesty has established this kingdom of kings, and it is he who has been teaching us and leading us for forty-three years, and have we ever taken a step ourselves? ”

Zhou Huang's heart shook deeply, yes, in the past forty-three years, the emperor has led everyone to create a new system and build a new country, but until now, the two courts and the political hall have not been able to stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility, and the pace has gradually fallen behind due to competition. The emperor kept stretching out his hand before, did he lose confidence in the countrymen, and felt that the countrymen were not enough to take over the power and responsibility he gave up?

Liu Lun said again: "The imperial power of the other day has expanded again, is it the emperor's love for power!?" No, I think it's us, it's the fault of the countrymen! We don't dare to bear it, and the people don't dare to take it, because it's not only power, but also responsibility! ”

Zhou Huang smiled bitterly, he was a little moved, but he shook his head and said: "But what we do is not a good policy, no matter how we bear it, we must have perfect regulations, otherwise we will let the situation of competition mess up the country." ”

Liu Lun said in a deep voice: "If you don't start, how can there be results?" Regulation cannot be complete from the beginning, with a beginning, a direction, everyone will make up for it together! Now that Your Majesty is still here, we should be able to understand our hard work and how to guide us, if Your Majesty is gone, how the crown prince will understand this situation, it will be beyond our expectations. ”

Zhou Huang felt that he was becoming more and more shaken, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why...... Pick me!? ”

Liu Lun squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "This is a sacrifice, you can't choose the prime minister, and the sacrifice, you are still young, you can sacrifice." ”

Zhou Huang almost spit on Liu Lun's face, you god stick, your eyes are full of sacrifice! And say it in front of me! It turns out that I'm just a-stirring stick, and if I stir up this game, I can die?

subconsciously wanted to scold Liu Lun, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a hot breath surrounded his heart, so he couldn't make a sound. This heat is exactly the integrity that he has established since he was a child: establish a new system for the world, open peace, and who else I want, I want this fame and fortune, not power and wealth.
