Chapter 722: Restless Night

In fact, these people are all the same, in this relatively closed environment, facing naked, it is most appropriate to say an undisguised word. Yang Tinglin is embarrassed, and when Chen Xie said that he was a household secretary, he suddenly felt ashamed of the first emperor. Lu Xiangsheng was silent, he had already been educated, and there was only one Shi Kefa left, and he took the initiative to say without waiting for Chen Xie to speak: "Mr. Sihua, now is not the time to say this, even if I listen to it, it is not a matter of time and a half to correct." Let's talk about the Yangzhou assassination case and the performance of His Majesty. "This guy actually looks like you don't want to crook the building, Chen Xie thinks it's funny, Shi Kefa wasn't such a person before, in the Jingshi officialdom, this place is full of elites, and he really exercises people.

In history, Shi Kefa, because of his personal pedantry and hesitation, ruined the stability of the Nanming political arena. In fact, even if he is decisive, preemptively support King Fu and let Donglin's gang be in power, he may not be able to change the overall situation. It's just that because of his hesitation, it caused the name of the feudal town to be justified and the fierce infighting of the Southern Ming court. From an objective point of view, as far as those officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty are counting on the rhythm of joining forces with the Manchus to suppress the thieves, hehehe, it is better to pull it down quickly, half of the country will be destroyed in their hands.

In the final analysis, Nanming still lacks a fierce man like Yu Qian!

"It doesn't matter to me who directed the assassination. The important thing is that at this juncture, what you think of is not to surround your majesty's side, but to take it as the core, to achieve a fast and stable mobile phone to read novels, which one is stronger? The role of the mobile phone reading network to determine the bureau. See what you guys are doing? I was so disappointed. When it is the most correct way to do it, it is to compromise with His Majesty immediately, first stabilize the interior, and work together to do a good job in state affairs. If I said that before I came to Jingshi, there was still a glimmer of hope for the few of you, and the moment I saw Jiandou in the Fengtai camp. I'm desperate for you people. In such an existential crisis, they are still fighting for power. No matter how high the tone you set, it's hard to convince people who understand your nonsense. Chen Xie's unceremonious gesture made the three of them even redder.

"Mr. Sihua, how can you talk like that? We are also for the court! Shi Kefa was about to make a confession, but Chen Xie raised his hand and pointed at his nose. Mocking with a slash on the face: "Really? Whose court is the court? Whose world is it? Don't tell me that the world is, you don't believe it yourself, and you still expect me to believe it? And the face said that it was for the court? Selfishness is selfishness, has Shi Xianzhi become so hypocritical? Taoism, etiquette, and routines, don't want these things? ”

Shi Kefa's face was almost submerged in the water, sentence after sentence, sentence after sentence. Isn't this the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule? Monarchs and ministers, father and son, three outlines and five constants. Everything must be done with the word "courtesy".

"Don't you speak? If you don't speak, you can soak in it with peace of mind, and talk while eating when you turn around. Chen Xie, with the attitude of a victor, ended the counterattack of the three people. They are all well-educated people and good arguments, and at this time, they are stripped naked and sprayed, and under the embarrassment of having nowhere to hide, they have no courage to refute at all. Isn't what they insist on being what they are opposing with their actions?

The three of them bowed their heads and remained silent. Chen Xie washed away the dust unhurriedly, and he didn't need to be served by anyone after he got up. Do-it-yourself dressing. The three of them don't pay much attention to this. It's just that when he was dressing, Lu Xiangsheng sighed with emotion: "It is said that the Chen Mansion lives a luxurious life, and there is no one under the bath, so the rumors are not credible." ”

Chen Xie couldn't help but laugh and didn't answer, today it was the three of them who came, and Chen Xie was not so simple in normal times. At least four maids were waiting to bathe. It's wrong, it's wrong, anyway, when you lead troops outside, it's all simple.

The banquet was placed in the study, and the servants were all sent away, and there were only four people left. Chen Xie took out three manuscripts, and after one of them sent one, he smiled and said, "Don't read it yet, go back and read it slowly at night." The content is the same, the statute of the constitutional monarchy. ”

"Okay, I won't look at it, but you'll have to tell me the rough idea first." Although Yang Tinglin didn't want to admit it, he didn't have anything to do at this time, and he didn't want to stop and run for nothing, so he always found something troublesome for Chen Xie to do.

Chen Xie's constitutional monarchy is a deleted version, which is quite different from the system in the real sense. This is mainly combined with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, in the era when the education system is not perfect, the people are strictly hierarchical, and the living standard is extremely low, you are making the country and yourself uncomfortable when you engage in popular elections.

"Okay, let's talk about Majesty first. From the day this system was established, His Majesty no longer interfered in the normal government affairs, and unless a war was waged against the outside world, His Majesty could not make any interference in the government affairs. At the same time, the new system limited the power of the monarchy, but also gave His Majesty the right to supervise the officials. As long as any official violates the law, the Independent Commission Against Corruption can arrest and examine anyone on the premise of clear evidence. Then we talk about the imperial court, and the future cabinet will have a prime minister and a number of other vice ministers, who will be in charge of all aspects of the imperial court's government affairs. ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, does the cabinet manage the army?" This question is very critical, and as soon as the other two heard this, they immediately put down their chopsticks and stared at Chen Xie carefully to see his reaction.

"Let's put it this way, there are War and Navy in the Cabinet, which means that in the Cabinet, there must be a voice of the army. The army must be self-contained, and reach a balance with the civil servants to China, and can no longer engage in the system of civil and military nobility, otherwise sooner or later the country will be destroyed. After Chen Xie said this, everyone was silent, weighing the pros and cons. Without the restraint of the monarchy, the army was placed under the leadership of the cabinet, and in fact under the leadership of the civil ministers, but it was more independent than in the past.

This change seems acceptable. Thinking that there is an extra group of warriors in the cabinet, I still feel uncomfortable, right? The problem is that when they looked at Chen Xie's smile, the three of them all retracted the words they were about to refute. The current situation can only be mastered by Chen Xie.

"Very well, it seems that there is no disagreement, so let's move on to the next point, the independence of the judiciary. What is the independence of the judiciary? Quite simply, no one is above the law, including His Majesty. After saying this, everyone turned into statues and looked at Chen Xie blankly. What kind of fuss is this? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when has there been a time when the law can govern the emperor, let alone the emperor, even if it is an ordinary noble minister, evading the law is like playing.

"What's wrong? Silent? Chen Xie asked with a smile, and the three of them were speechless. People are selfish, and it is their nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The law is best used to restrain others, and it is not useful to oneself.

"I said a long time ago, you can't, look, when it comes to self-interest and privilege, you're all soft, right? While you are demanding that others obey the law, you are undermining the majesty of the law. The entire Ming Dynasty, no officials are not greedy, no officials are not corrupt, which is the truest portrayal. Now that you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence. But before you decide to speak, you have to think better, if you can't be sure of this, there will be factory guards in the future. The new system, while establishing the supremacy of the monarch in society, also tied the hands and feet of the monarch with laws and institutions, constrained his rights, and at the same time restrained the officials in turn. ”

The benefits are obvious, as long as such a system is determined, there will never be another incident in the past where Zhu Yuanzhang killed the minister and had to write a suicide note before going to work every day. But the right thing is so peculiar, no one doesn't like privileges, which is why so many people like the emperor's position. The emperor had the highest privileges, and the so-called gentry class had privileges, which was the pattern of the past. Now, Chen Xie has to deprive them of their privileges at least at the legal level.

This night is destined to be restless! It's a pity that after nightfall, the Jingshi has a curfew, and all intersections are guarded by new troops. No one knows what will happen until the dust settles. It's not that no one is desperately trying to inquire about the news, and the occasional gunshots on the street don't know which unlucky guy is going to.

The torches all over the city were lit all night, and the restlessness lasted all night. At dawn, the desolate voice of the watchman echoed in the quiet streets and alleys, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles." "At this time, it will remind people that for more than a month, there has been no rain in Jingshi. Before the gates opened, a loaded wagon came to the gates. The coachman was an old man, with cowering eyes, and did not dare to look around. The old man, who was used to seeing life and death in charge of collecting corpses, couldn't calm down this time.

The carriage was full of corpses, and blood trailed all the way. When the officer escorting the car and the officer at the city gate were talking, the old man heard clearly.

"What car is it?" "It's not much, it's only three cars in total, and it doesn't seem as crazy as expected."

"The intelligence staff still overestimated these nobles, and thought they had a lot of courage."

"Hehe, just look at the siege of the Jingshi during the first emperor's period, these people are a little more capable in words."

The carriage went out of the city gate and walked along the official road for a while, and there were soldiers on duty in a mass grave, and many corpses had been piled up in the big pit that had been dug. These are the unlucky people who roamed the streets last night, and they killed one when they saw them anyway, without asking for any reason at all. I don't know if there is any wrong, and I can't take care of it. At this time, without iron-blooded means, it would not be Chen Xie.

Outside the palace gate, the lanterns were dense, and it was not only Wenchen who came one after another, but also Zhu Chunchen and other martial artists. Today is not a pilgrimage meeting, but they have also been notified to come to the meeting early in the morning. Inviting them is not to let them regain control of the army, but to inform them in the form of a meeting resolution that they should be quiet nobles from now on. Juniors who want to get out in the army can rely on the martial arts hall, and then want to rely on the shadow of their ancestors to live in the army, there is no such good thing.
