Chapter 941: Restructuring or Splitting
"It's not that there is no way, but I don't know if the royal brother is reluctant or not!"
Li Yuanba lowered his head and muttered for a long time before he said.
"There is nothing to be reluctant to, you should know me better than anyone else, the matter of Xuanwumen back then, I don't want to let it be staged again, brothers and swords, relatives cannibalism, maybe you can get temporary benefits, but what you leave behind is endless regret and regret!"
Li Shimin's expression was a little lonely, for so many years, although he was a generation of Ming Jun and a British lord in front of him, but only he knew his suffering, he had been living in regret all these years, and this remorse was still increasing day by day.
It was only when he later saw Li Jiancheng, who he thought had died in the Xuanwumen Revolution, that he came out of that haze again.
"Okay, then I'll say it!" Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin and said word by word:
"My Chinese nation, since the founding of the Great Xia, has always practiced the royal Yiyantang, that is, the emperor oversees all military and political powers, whether it is a small matter or a major matter, it is all decided by the emperor! The advantage of this system is that the majesty of the emperor is above all else, and the rights of the emperor cannot be desecrated. However, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, once the emperor is mediocre or suddenly disappears or dies, then the entire empire will fall into chaos, everything will lose its backbone, and it may even cause the empire to split! β
When he said this, Li Yuanba paused deliberately, he stared at Li Shimin's eyes, and continued:
"This is the result of our thousands of years of inheritance in China, if we want to change this normalcy and completely erase this shortcoming, we can only change the form of imperial inheritance!"
"What do you mean...... Changed the system of son succession to father? Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Li Shimin's brows furrowed suddenly, didn't this make their Li royal family lose the title of royal family again?
Sensei said that it was implemented, I am afraid that it will be impossible to pass it alone, at least he Li Shimin does not agree!
"Brother Huang, listen to me first!" Li Yuanba shook his head. Said: "I'm just talking about changing this system, but I'm not talking about deposing the royal family!"
"Let's talk about the specifics!" Li Shimin's complexion softened slightly, and his tone also lowered.
Li Yuanba nodded and continued: "We are just implementing a system that has never been practiced before. Let me give you a simple example: just in terms of the succession to the throne, which is the core of our court, this is always the top priority of the dynasty change, right? β
Seeing Li Shimin nodding silently, Li Yuan said domineeringly: "The heir to the throne after that will not only be limited to the crown prince. Brother Huang, you know, there are many people in our royal family, especially the contemporary relatives. There are many brothers like us, and there are more than a dozen people in Ke'er's generation. We can gather these contemporary princes and form a royal council, so that the members of the royal council can become the emperor by secret ballot, and the one with the most votes will become the emperor. β
"An emperor can serve for one term, that is, five years, and if there is no big basket in these five years, he can continue to serve the next term. With three emperors as the maximum period, you cannot be re-elected after three terms, and after abdication, you will automatically enter the clan elders of our royal family! By the way, the members of the clan elders enjoy the treatment of the emperor! β
"Of course. Don't leave anything to chance. If it is said that the members of the royal parliament of the present generation, who have a good relationship with each other, voted for such and such a councilor, and such and such a councillor does have the ability to correspond. That, of course, is no problem. But if the members of the royal family council take the method of coercion and inducement in order to ascend to the throne for their personal ability, then I am sorry...... Among our royal family. It will be composed of the royal family of the previous generation who have not been selected for the clan elders' association, and form a supervisory committee to crack down on this improper canvassing behavior with the most severe blows. β
After listening to Li Yuanba's idea of the Imperial Council, the Clan Elders' Association, and the Supervisory Committee, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were suddenly stunned.
In this way, although the Tang Dynasty is still the empire of their old Li family, is it too child's fun to change the emperor every five years?
Therefore, Li Shimin lacks even the slightest confidence in the imperial family council and the supervisory committee proposed by Li Yuanba.
With a rather skeptical attitude, he asked with some skepticism about the next question:
"Fourth brother, even if there is a supervisory committee composed of the previous generation of royal families, but this is selfish, don't look at this position you abandon it as a cheat, but in the eyes of some people, it is regarded as a treasure! Even if it is coercion and temptation, if these ghost tricks want to be hidden, it is extremely simple! β
"This is easy to do, the Supervision Committee can use the Heavenly Guards and Shadow Guards, the Heavenly Guards and Shadow Guards were cultivated by you, and you know better than me what their abilities are!"
Li Yuanba touched the short beard under his chin, and said meaningfully: "As for the supervision committee will guard and steal at that time, don't worry about this, when the time comes, the Divine Guard will be divided into three parts, one part will be controlled by the council members, one part will be controlled by the clan elders, and the last part will be controlled by the emperor." In this way, the Celestial Guard and the Shadow Guard monitor the members of the Imperial Council and the Elders' Council, and the Divine Guard monitors the Supervision Committee. The Heavenly Guard and the Shadow Guard are still responsible to the Emperor, but at the same time, he also has military power in his hands, which is controlled on three sides, and he is not afraid that they will have a coup d'Γ©tat! β
"Isn't it a bit of a separation of military and political power?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth wide in disbelief and said.
"Yes!"
Li Yuanba nodded as a matter of course and said, "I planned to divide the military and political power from the beginning!" Originally, my plan was to divide the military power between the emperor and the imperial council and the clan elders' council. If the emperor wants to have a big military operation, the power of the Shenwu Guard under his command alone is not enough, so he needs to use the other two military forces. In this case, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the royal council and the clan elders' council. β
"You're just military independence, and you still have executive power?"
Li Shimin interrupted Li Yuanba and said, "You can't hand over the administrative encyclopedia to these three forces, right?" Don't forget, you said that you want to separate the military and the government, and if you still hand it back into their hands, what is the difference between this and not having separated the military and the government? β
Li Shimin said very reasonably, just like this, the empire is still divided, and it is still divided into the hands of many people, it is not a split, but a split, which is not what Li Shimin wants to see. (To be continued.) )
