Chapter 103: On the Eve of the Founding of the People's Republic of China
Satan is very sorry for yesterday's break, because yesterday was very busy, there was no time to code words, make up for it today, thank you! And thank you for the tip of the first leaf, thank you very much!!
The Spring Festival holiday soon passed, and government officials began to get busy with work again, one after another invitation letters were sent to the embassies of various countries in China, some countries that are more friendly to China such as Germany and other countries will also receive Qin Yu's personal invitation telegrams, and others are just an official telegram from the Chinese government.
There is no curiosity about the invitation of the Chinese government, but the date of the founding of the People's Republic of China surprised them, it turned out to be March 5th, you must know that Beijing was quite cold at that time, and this season is really not suitable for large-scale outdoor activities, especially such a major event as the founding of the country.
It was mentioned above that there would be a grand military parade at that time, and some countries were very disdainful, just like Japan and Russia, who thought that China would hold a military parade with this little strength, which was really funny. But they will also send people to see it, after all, they also want to know about the strength of Huaxia, and they want to see Huaxia lose face and humiliate the Huaxia government by the way.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was very happy after receiving Qin Yu's private invitation, his private identity and his identity as a representative of the country were different, which in his eyes was that Qin Yu cared about their relationship very much.
But as soon as I saw the date on it, I was helpless, if I went by boat, it was estimated that I would not be able to catch up, it seemed that only from Russia to enter, and then through the Russian Far Eastern Railway can participate in time, but in order to maintain this relationship with China, he decided to send Moltke Jr. to participate in this grand ceremony on his behalf, and then go to China to discuss the next cooperation.
Britain and France and other countries also maintained a very high level of attention to this matter, but did not send people from the country, Britain sent Smith, who was training troops in India, Smith was not removed because of the defeat in the Tibetan war, but only stayed in his post to check, this is also because of the failure of the navy, and neither the sea and land punished them very much.
The French only let the envoys in China attend, and they were proud that they did not think that there was anything else in China that they were worth seeing besides the tanks and the new warships.
There is still less than a month to go, which makes it very difficult for the Chinese government, not only to do the founding of the country, but also to carry out the relevant laws and regulations after the implementation of the constitutional monarchy in China, although many of them are modeled after Germany, but they still have to be revised until they conform to the situation in China.
The army is also very busy, the soldiers participating in the parade are training at high intensity all day long, no one quits even if they are tired and hard, it is their life's honor to be able to participate in the first military parade of the empire, and they cannot let the empire lose face.
On February 10, the Chinese government, under the instruction of Qin Yu, officially launched a nationwide call for drawings for the national flag of the empire, from which the government will select five candidate drawings, and then identify one of them as the national flag of the empire, with a deadline of March 1.
As soon as the news of the solicitation of national flag drawings was announced, it caused a sensation throughout the country, and the national flag, if it can be selected, it will be glorious and glorious for thousands of years, which is the supreme glory.
Everyone in the whole country who knew the news was racking their brains about what national flag to use, from Qin Yu to the hooligans in the market were drawing drawings, and the drawings from all over the country were sent to the provincial governments, and then the provincial government selected the best of the first 1,000 copies and sent them to Zhongnanhai for competition.
Not long after the announcement of the drawings, the Junxian Party proposed to ask Qin Yu to move into the palace, because Qin Yu was about to become the emperor of Huaxia, and according to the traditional practice, the palace belonged to the emperor, but now the Chinese government has sealed the palace, so they asked to unseal it and let Qin Yu and his family live in the palace.
The demands of the Constitutional Party were supported by a large number of people, who believed that Qin Yu was about to become emperor, and it was reasonable to move in early, calling on the government to lift the lockdown, and also saying that the Forbidden City belonged to the future imperial family.
This made the officials of the Huaxia government very helpless, the previous document about the Forbidden City was issued by Qin Yu, and now the unsealing is to overthrow the previous text, and they do not dare to unseal it without Qin Yu's consent.
In view of the call of the people, Chen Fu and others went to persuade Qin Yu again, hoping that Qin Yu could revoke the previous Forbidden City text, and they were also looking forward to Qin Yu's stay.
"The chairman has revoked the previous article about the Forbidden City, and the people of the whole country hope that the chairman can stay in the palace, and only in this way can he cooperate with your identity as emperor. Moreover, after the establishment of the empire, the imperial palace was also established, and it was better to live in the Forbidden City than to build a new one, so as to avoid a series of troubles. Chen Fu said boldly.
"Don't say it, this Wen Jiàn will not be revoked, he will be carried out to the end, I will not live there, just build a small palace on the outskirts of Beijing." I will explain this matter to the people, and the previous texts and laws will continue to be implemented after the establishment of the empire, but only partially modify some of them. Qin Yu said with a straight face.
Chen Fu and the others gave up after seeing that the persuasion had no effect, they didn't know why Qin Yu was so opposed to staying in the palace, the palace was originally the place where the emperor lived and worked, and Qin Yu's stay was in accordance with the etiquette and law.
On the same day, the Huaxia Daily carried an article written by Qin Yu, which pointed out that after the establishment of the empire in China, the text of the Forbidden City would not be changed, and it would still be handled according to the previous text. It is also pointed out that the Forbidden City belongs to the people of the whole country and not to him alone, it is the Kuibao of China, it is the national treasure of China, and the palace will build a small place for the imperial family to live and the emperor's office, etc.
This moved the people of Huaxia very much, although Qin Yu's behavior contradicted their opinions, but Qin Yu was the only one who could take out the Forbidden City for the world to see.
Qin Yu's article made the people suddenly cold about the affairs of the Forbidden City, and even the Junxian Party did not dare to move casually. The Constitutional Party is afraid that Qin Yu will take advantage of them, after all, it is now in a very sensitive period, and it is necessary to be cautious step by step, otherwise it will become a thousand hatreds if you make a mistake.
Tiananmen Square is being renovated, after years of erosion of the bricks of the part of the lot has been damaged, in order to be able to let the bulky tank walk on it, the government specially let the construction workers use a lot of cement slabs, the central road of the square is paved with orange, blue and blue granite, Qin Yu according to the appearance of the square in the previous life to build.
Due to the need for a lot of granite, the government has used a lot of manpower and material resources to mine and transport, although it is very troublesome, but no one complains, this is related to the image of the country, but China likes to do the most.
In order to cater to the arrival of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Forbidden City has also been partially opened, especially the Temple of Heaven, where Qin Yu will perform the worship of the heavens and the enthronement ceremony. The Temple of Heaven was damaged a lot by the Allied Forces in 1900 in the Eight-Nation Coalition War of Aggression against China, a large number of cultural relics, sacrificial vessels were swept away, buildings and trees were also severely damaged, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had carried out construction, but the restoration has not been completed, this time a large number of archaeological experts and architects want to better restore the Temple of Heaven.
The government also continued to train the rituals of worshipping the heavens near the Temple of Heaven, and a large number of people who had previously served as palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were summoned back, and they were very familiar with this ritual and could also train the rest of the people well.
When the various departments were constantly putting their energy into it, Qin Yu, Chen Fu and others gathered again, and they wanted to discuss how to divide the official system and the imperial system after the establishment of the empire, how to formulate hierarchies, and so on.
"Your Majesty, we should write the imperial system into the constitution, and the heirs should also be written into the constitution, and we should legitimize the imperial system." Chen Fu said very firmly, although Qin Yu has not yet ascended the throne, but now the people in the government call Qin Yu His Majesty.
"I think we should make the constitution of the Reich more according to our own situation, many of the German constitutions were established after they unified the German states before, but our country is originally a whole, so don't imitate Germany too much." Jiang Fangzhen put forward his own opinion.
Qin Sanyan said: "The authority of the emperor is inviolable, and His Majesty should seize all the great powers such as legislative power, military power, and political power in his hands, so as to prevent someone from having too much power in the future and leading to rebellion." It is also necessary to establish a reliable hierarchy to reward meritorious officials or generals, so that the empire can remain alive forever. ”
Qin Yu thought for a while and said: "The emperor's rights and obligations are written into the constitution, and as for the system, according to the ancient feudal system in our country, the five titles of duke, marquis, earl, son, and male are used, and these titles are used both civil and military. In the army, there is a separate military merit system, and the corresponding military merit corresponds to the right title, and the corresponding talent and character can be rewarded with military merit.
As for the people, they can also be rewarded, as long as they have made a great contribution to the empire, they can also be knighted after investigation, it can be cultural, inventive, and so on. The empire will implement a points system throughout the country, and all people can earn points through their own efforts, but it will not be promoted nationwide in the early stage, and now the government is trying to implement it, and if feasible, it will be promoted nationwide. ”
Everyone was excited when they heard this, they were knighted, this is a great honor, they will definitely have the opportunity to be knighted, after all, they are old men who have followed Qin Yu all the way, and the first batch of knights must have them, but they don't know what the level of the knighthood is.
"Your Majesty, the title system can, but you must stipulate the number of titles, otherwise it will cause flooding, and the points system can only be tried in a small part now, after all, the conditions do not allow it, and there will be some people who will increase the points by unscrupulous means, if it cannot be handled well, it will cause a vicious circle, and even lead to the collapse of the empire, so please think twice." Jiang Fangzhen said very cautiously.
Qin Yu thought about it for a while, and knew that he was too anxious, the current situation was indeed not suitable for the promotion of the points system, maybe it would be in a few decades.
"I'll deal with this carefully, as for the constitution of the empire, you can draft it, and then promulgate it after everyone's confirmation, well, it will be promulgated on the day of the founding of the country."
“……”
A group of people continued to discuss for most of the day, and then went to their own work, and as for the formulation of the constitution, it was left to the legal professionals in the government, who were to formulate a feasible constitution within half a month, and then let everyone revise it.
China is very lively because it is about to be founded, and envoys from various countries continue to come to Beijing, although it is different from the ancient countries to come to the court, but this also makes the people of Beijing very enjoyable, and they are not too afraid to see foreigners. This may be the improvement of national self-confidence, and one day the Chinese people will proudly declare to the world: "I am a Chinese person!" People abroad will no longer use words such as barbarism and mystery to describe China, but answer in a humble tone: "Oh, the mighty China, the place I yearn for!" ”
