Chapter 1071: Changing the Imperial Power with His Own Hands

"Don't talk about that, let's sleep." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, although he didn't want to continue to discuss the topic of national affairs with Zheng Yuelin, it didn't affect his mood.

Zheng Yuelin also smiled, the reason why her wisdom is much higher than others is that Zheng Yuelin not only has a higher IQ than ordinary people, but also has a high EQ, of course she will not be angry because she can't talk about the emperor.

"Since the emperor has thought about it, he will do it according to his own will, the Ming Dynasty has spent the most difficult time, and the concubines have said before that as long as the emperor can make everyone in the world have enough to eat, the emperor can reform the system as much as he wants." Zheng Yuelin smiled slightly.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen kissed Zheng Yuelin's pink face and smiled, "Yes, but I have something I can't decide, so I want to ask my concubine, it seems that it has become a habit." ”

Zheng Yuelin was moved for a while, and gently knelt on the chest of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, "Actually, the concubines like the emperor's monogamy very much, and men and women in the world are all fond of love, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed secretly in his heart, if it is only love, I will have to guard the Yi'an Empress Zhang Yan who will never be enlightened all my life, where did Daming come from so many princes?

On the second day, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, abolished the provisions on monogamy in the Ming Marriage Law, and as long as the marriage certificate was issued, monogamy and two wives could be allowed, which was recognized by the law.

At the same time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen began to emigrate to Liaodong on a large scale, in order to prepare for the conquest of Japan and Russia, the northern land, the northeast is the richest. Originally, it was supposed to be a place where zĂ i was stored as a large granary. But it has become a place that has long eaten the profits of the state. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen wanted to completely change this situation.

In this way, the population of the entire Ming Dynasty spread to the surrounding areas in an all-round way, with the most people in the northeast, southwest, and southeast, while the hinterland of the Central Plains and the northwest had a terrible proportion of population. In many counties, there are only twenty or thirty households.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was not worried about this strange situation, and he did not expect that cooperating with his policy of conquering the world would cause such a strange shift in the population ratio of the Ming Dynasty.

No one starved to death in the Ming Dynasty, but the common people still did not have much money in their hands, which is also a very strange phenomenon, because a large amount of land and wealth were concentrated in the hands of the royal family. And the landlord, at this time in Daming is no longer popular. People who have capital learn to use capital in all kinds of industry and commerce.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen mainly focused on the construction of the legal system during this time.

In addition to the military, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen paid the most attention to the construction of the Ming Dynasty's legal system, and the new Ming Dynasty law cost Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen a lot of time and energy.

Reform Statutory Amendment of the New Ming Constitution and stipulation of the scope of imperial power, rights and obligations after the reform. Only when the law is formulated and perfected, then after the death of Emperor Zhu Youzhen, the successor and the cabinet of state managers will have a law to follow, so that the country will not be confused because of the imperial power reform, and the prestige of the successor emperor is not as high as that of the previous emperor.

All kinds of frameworks have been formulated, and those who violate the law and exceed their authority will be severely punished, so that it will be conducive to the progress and development of the imperial power and the country, and will it be conducive to the emperor to continue to exercise imperial power as the guardian of the interests of the people. The cabinet of the capitalist world must be full of collusion between officials and businessmen, and the cabinet that formulates national policies will definitely be inclined to the bourgeoisie, which is inevitable, but when the cabinet policy is strict and dangerous to the interests of the people, that is, to the imperial power, then the emperor can overthrow the cabinet and reorganize the cabinet as a messenger to protect the interests of the people, because there is a law to follow, so that the imperial power will always be greater than the cabinet power, but the emperor gives up part of the right to manage internal affairs, which also releases the emperor's energy. Even if the successor emperor is very mediocre, he can still grasp the military power according to the law and limit the power of the cabinet, thus maintaining the imperial power.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor who reformed the imperial power, knew better than anyone how to change the system he formulated, and the reform initiated by the emperor was by no means the same as the rise of a passive capitalist society and the reform of compressing the imperial power.

The most advanced method is to overthrow the imperial power, the feudal imperial power itself is a kind of thing that hinders social development, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen even thought about overthrowing himself, simply abolishing the imperial power, and the imperial party has the final say.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he overturned this idea of his own, because to accomplish his goal of conquering the world, there must be a strong centralized power, and everyone has the final say, it is better for one person to have the final say, and it is only like this to do great things.

The current cabinet of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen is actually equivalent to the highest political ~ governance ~ bureau in later generations, and all personnel are tempered in the imperial party to be able to achieve this position.

How much power should be delegated to the cabinet is completely up to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, how did Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen solve the problem of fainting monarchs? He separated the three powers of the state, the imperial party, and the army, with the state in charge of half, the imperial party in charge of half, and the army in charge of all, so that the emperor's prestige reached the sky, but the power was only two-thirds, and he artificially let the imperial party and the country have semi-automatic functions.

When the imperial party and the government are in chaos, the country will be in chaos, this kind of chaos is what he needs, after several major movements in a short period of time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen does not intend to rely on the way of movement to maintain his rule.

At least, he no longer intends to rely on artificial means, as long as the whole country is following his path, according to his policy of conquering the whole world, he will not launch any movement.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen reformed the imperial power, must be the imperial power of the royal is to safeguard the interests of the people, to replace the view of the divine right of the monarchy, then the future students and the people will become a firm royalist, then the bourgeoisie wants to reform the life of the imperial power is impossible, in the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen formulated the system, no matter how big the capitalist, but also the country, the royal does not directly control the money, but holds the power of the country, the emperor needs to mobilize money through the cabinet, although the royal is the largest capitalist, But it does not directly manage the money, and the royal family only has complete control over the military power.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen even canceled his own internal expenses, and the royal expenses were allocated by the Central Council, and the royal expenses were allocated according to one percent of the total tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and they were never allowed to exceed this proportion
