Unlike in the past, today's cabinet members, the Senate, and representatives from all walks of life are not wearing new uniforms, but all wearing black or navy blue sè Han clothes, while cabinet officials stand respectfully with ivory wat boards in their hands.
As the prime minister, Zhang Zhidòng held an ivory wat in his hand, and bowed to His Majesty on the stage.
"I am heartily pleased with the prosperity of the country and the happiness of my subjects, and by the great power bestowed upon me by the people of billions of dollars, I proclaim this indelible ceremony to my present and future subjects. It is only by the cooperation of the Chinese people that we have created our China to hang down to infinity, which is the loyalty, bravery, patriotism and martyrdom of our gods to the Chinese people, and the achievements of this glorious national history. …… I inherit the wishes of the people of all the people and practice the throne of the emperor of China...... Wishing to increase his well-being, to develop his Luther's ability, and to support the progress of the country according to his praise, it is in fulfillment of the edict of the fourth month of the fourth month of the Empire, which is hereby made to make this great constitution, as a sign of the reason of my own initiative, that my heirs and the people of China, and the children and grandchildren of the people, shall always obey it. ”
Chen Moran, who was also dressed in black sè Han clothes, personally read the last sentence, and gave the scroll of the holy decree in his hand and handed it to Zhang Zhidòng Ruoguanhuo.
"Subject to the Imperial Constitution"
At the time of receiving the constitution, Zhang Zhi Dòng bowed deeply again.
In just a few minutes, the "Constitution of the Chinese Empire" was announced and released in the ceremony of the government affairs building in the form of Chen Moran personally handing out the prime minister, and at the moment of handing over the constitution, Chen Moran's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, what will this constitution bring to China?
Is it the constitutionalism that later generations of people dreamed of, or is it ...... When this thought came to his mind, Chen Moran cast his eyes on Cai Yi, Xiao Xinren and others, whether the military is ready, the promulgation of this constitution will be fundamentally blocked, and anyone who tries to bypass their own mind to establish a constitution may also bring húnluàn to the country. ⑤????

húnluàn
There must not be any húnluàn
With a flickering gaze, Chen Moran understood that perhaps the only thing he could rely on in the end was ......
"The power of the rule of the state is inherited from all the people, and it is to the descendants. I and my descendants shall hereafter be subject to the provisions of this constitution without punishment.
We cherish and protect the rights and property of our citizens, and hereby declare that they shall be fully enjoyed within the limits of this Constitution and laws.
The Imperial Diet was convened in the eighth year of the Empire, and the Constitution came into force when the Diet was in session.
When it is necessary to amend any provision of this constitution in the future, I and my descendants who will succeed to the throne shall have the right to propose a bill to the National Assembly, and the National Assembly shall decide on it in accordance with the requirements stipulated in this Constitution, and no other descendants of me and the people shall dare to try to change it.
My ministers in the court shall be jointly responsible for the implementation of this Constitution, and my present and future citizens shall be obliged to obey this Constitution forever. ”
On the campus of Imperial Dynasty University, a young student held a newspaper and read aloud the text of the Constitution of the Chinese Empire, and in front of him, hundreds of students gathered there, they gathered and listened, the Constitution, today, has finally been promulgated, although it is the "King James Constitution", but for thousands of years, China finally has its own first constitution, at this time there is even a hint of jī in their expressions, for this day, millions of people in the country have long been looking forward to today, the day when the Constitution was promulgatedThe lights were lit up everywhere, and the people cheered, and naturally these students who longed for the constitution were also uncontrollable.

……”
Listening to the first chapter about His Majesty the Emperor, the students' expressions changed slightly, when the first chapter was finished, the royalist students shouted the slogan of Long Live Your Majesty, and most of the constitutionalist students were disappointed, they listened to the constitution was far from the "constitution" they imagined, but a constitution that did everything possible to maintain the authority of His Majesty the Emperor, and at this time, most of those republican students were angry, in their opinion, this constitution was basically in the form of a constitution to ensure the emperor's ** , what Congress, is simply ......
“……”
Finally, when the last one was read, Wei Nan thought for a moment and said lightly.
"It is undeniable that this is a constitution that is far above expectations"
In his opinion, the powers of His Majesty and the restrictions on the power of the monarch given in this constitution are very few, but the establishment of the parliament and the bicameral system in the form of the constitution, as well as the provisions on the power of the people, are to a large extent beyond his expectations, and even in his opinion, when the "voice" of the King James Constitution came out, he even thought that the most lenient constitution of China was similar to the constitution of the Russian Empire, and even the authority of the emperor was far greater than that of the Russian Empire, but now, in his opinion, the Chinese constitution was even closer to the people than that of Japan, although the authority of the emperor was in no way inferior to that of Japan.
"Long live Your Majesty"
"Long Live the Chinese Empire"
Listening to the cheers of the classmates, Cao Renjing and the others looked at the cheering classmates, listening to them shouting long live for His Majesty, but with indescribable grief and indignation on their faces, as early as the beginning of the King James Constitution, he had called for to defend the rights of the people, he should go to the House of Parliament to protest to remove Yang Du, but unfortunately the people around him opposed his proposal, because they were all full of expectations for the King James Constitution, thinking that whether it was King James or the people, it would be ......
"Now, what is this constitution that has been sent to us? Is it beautiful? Or tiles? Before you see the substance, you are fascinated by its name."
Looking at the cheering classmates around him, Cao Shijing muttered to himself in annoyance
"The foolishness of the people has come to this"
Another sigh sounded in his ears, and he saw that it was his senior Ma Yueqing, who was not a republican but a staunch constitutionalist.
"But isn't it, the foolishness of the people, to give such shackles, and to cheer for them, is really stupid."
Another person said next to him.
"Let's protest in front of the palace."
"Protest, beware of being exiled as a nuisance to the law"
A man with glasses said in a chāyan beside him.
"Article 1 of Chapter II of the Constitution of the Imperial Republic of China states that the citizens of China shall have freedom of religious belief and shall enjoy freedom of speech, writing, printing, assembly, and association."
A sentence came out of Cao Shijing's mouth, and when he read this article, he was even a little lucky, fortunately, China's constitution does not leave a post-mén, "within the scope of the law" in this article, like the Japanese constitution, which means that under any circumstances, any Chinese enjoys freedom of speech, writing, printing, assembly and association, and now it is completely possible to use this clause to demonstrate and protest.
"Protest in front of the palace?"
Not without a mocking voice spit out from Ma Yueqing's mouth, he held the book in his hand,
"Is it useful to just sit in protest?"
"And what else do you want?"
"That's it, do you want to ......?"
"Rebellion is not what we do, let alone our wishes, and a sit-in protest must not arouse the people, if ......"
Looking at the cheering students who were glad for the promulgation of the Constitution, Ma Yueqing was silent for a moment, and the hand holding the book suddenly exerted force, with a trace of absolute determination and perseverance in his eyes.
"If I can, even if there is a slight possibility, I am willing to use my life to wake them up and tell them what kind of constitution we, our country, need."
life
Dozens of classmates around were stunned at the same time, and they looked at Ma Yueqing in surprise, he, what did he want to do?
Ma Yueqing's words made Cao Shijing look at this ordinary and inconspicuous senior who rarely spoke even in the Republican Society.
"Let's go on a hunger strike, we go to the emperor to protest that we have to use our actions to tell everyone that the power of the people is based on earnings, not by others"
A sentence came out of Ma Yueqing's mouth, he looked at the classmates around him, Cao Shijing was silent for a moment, looking at him.
"Count me in"
