Chapter 22 Claiming the Emperor and Establishing the Constitution
Zhang Hongbin is very satisfied at this stage, and his plan has initially achieved the purpose he expected.
A few years ago, he proclaimed the founding of the country, but this regime was not recognized by the people of the world. In the eyes of many people, there is actually no difference between the so-called Great Qin and the Manchu Houjin, but it is just a puppet regime. If anything, it's nothing more than a local warlord force.
Zhang Hongbin has no prestige, and he implements the military industry to establish the country, so he is not liked by the literati, and the literati do not like public opinion, so they will naturally be sad.
Indeed, he can not mind anyone's opinion, after all, the strength of a country depends on its own to strive for it. Relying on the charity of others can only be a helpless move for the weak. However, even if he is weak, he will have the heart of a strong man, not to mention that he has already become the king of Qin.
If the people of the world do not approve of it, then it must be recognized by the people of the world.
A miracle appeared, and Zhang Hongbin made the day appear in the night, which is not something that can be concealed casually. In fact, whether it is a businessman or a student who comes to Chang'an, after seeing the situation of the main road at night as if it were day, there is a kind of thought in his heart, 'Could it be that Zhang Hongbin is really a man of destiny'. And once this idea grows, businessmen will deliberately spread this matter, and literati and writers will also help, the purpose is very simple, but it is in response to the saying 'icing on the cake is better than charcoal in the snow'.
Before Zhang Hongbin, the king of Qin, was not called the emperor, he took the lead in currying favor and even working for him, so in the future, the king of Qin really got the world, and wouldn't these heroes from the dragon be the marquis and worship the prime minister? Even for businessmen, gambling on the Mandate of Heaven is also one of the projects they operate during this period, and when they are optimistic about Zhang Hongbin, they will spend some price appropriately to help Zhang Hongbin become the king and hegemon, and finally exchange for the identity of a red-top businessman.
After the propaganda of these 'well-intentioned people', even if the Ming Dynasty still does not admit it, it can be said that the gentry from all over the country and the businessmen from all over the country have already recognized that Daqin is not a warlord force, but a genuine kingdom. Perhaps at this moment, many people are still looking forward to Zhang Hongbin, the king of Qin, becoming emperor.
In fact, this is indeed the case, since the electricity was turned on, the courtiers below have also begun to write letters to persuade them.
The content is the same, but it just means that Zhang Hongbin is the chosen one and should be replaced by Ming. His Royal Highness the King of Qin has blessed all living beings, and the people of the Great Qin Kingdom have benefited, should we also look forward to the world and save the people of Li who are living in suffering?
Zhang Hongbin likes Li Dingguo's persuasion essay more, they say it very bluntly, and say bluntly that if you don't call the emperor, then why do you work hard to fight the world?
Relatively speaking, those persuasion texts that took a lot of reasons were all retained by the Ming officials. Many of them have gradually emerged because of their talents, and have become the third force after the 'Jiading faction' and the 'imperial examination faction'. Zhang Hongbin did not admit the behavior of these guys forming a gang, but he did not object to anything. People are social animals, holding each other just to not be bullied, especially those old officials of the Ming Dynasty, they have always been afraid that Zhang Hongbin will liquidate them, and at the same time, they also hope to get closer to Zhang Hongbin.
At the beginning of March 1636, Zhang Hongbin was raised by Zhang Hongbin, and after the council reviewed and approved the guò, Zhang Hongbin officially announced at the parliament: "Great Qin will enter the imperial era!" ”
This announcement not only made all the parliamentarians and officials who participated in the meeting cheer collectively, but after it was announced in the "Weekly", the people of Daqin also began to boil. Everyone spontaneously organized and sang and danced to celebrate the arrival of this day. A few years later, the day became a regular carnival, although it was not the day when Zhang Hongbin was officially proclaimed emperor.
Since you want to be the emperor, then the country name, national flag, and national emblem must also start to enter the agenda. But this is not a concern for Zhang Hongbin, who told all the legislators that when the new dynasty is established, its accompanying constitution must also be formulated. As for the question of the form of government, he also expressed his thoughts, and the parliamentarians were only thinking about it, and did not express their thoughts at the first time. But it can be seen that many people still agree with this idea, at most how to improve it.
To put it mildly, it's how to fight for more power for yourself......
Regarding the matter of revising the constitution, Zhang Hongbin invited Xu Guangqi, who had basically stopped going out.
Since he began to silently accept the status quo, Xu Guangqi has studied Confucian classics at home, striving to revive the Confucian style of Great Qin. He did receive Christian baptism, but he was a literati of the Ming Dynasty. As a literati, he has the obligation, and he must also let Confucianism flourish in the Great Qin.
Thanks to Zhang Hongbin who gave him a lot of health care measures, he is now old and strong, and his body is still quite strong, otherwise if he is based on the previous standard of living, plus the inferior medical level, I am afraid that it will be gone two years earlier.
Now his body is still quite strong, no different from the average sixty-year-old. The mind is also clear, at least Alzheimer's disease has not been found in him.
Whether it was his seniority, his knowledge, and especially his sensitivity to new things, he was qualified to participate in the writing of the Constitution. The old man was also very interested in this kind of thing that could go down in history, and even quipped: "I will revise the "Constitution" for you, but you have to beat the world down for me, I am old, I don't want me to die, your power is also taken back by Daming, when the time comes, Daming will dig up my coffin and whip my body, then even if I die, I will be finished with you." ”
The old man actually knew in his heart that Da Ming was not Da Qin's opponent, even if the so-called reform, even the so-called progress, it would only slow down the speed of destruction. There is an invisible monster in Daqin, silently supporting Zhang Hongbin behind his back. No one has ever seen what that monster is like, only that with the support of that monster, Zhang Hongbin can get the most advanced machine, the most advanced technology, and the most advanced thing.
According to Zhang Hongbin's words, it is open. Others have gone beyond the scope of the rules, so how can those forces that can only survive by the rules survive? So his words can only be a joke, at most a more or less dissatisfied expression of Zhang Hongbin.
The revision of the Constitution involved more than 300 people and a month-long discussion before the first draft was finalized. In this first draft, a situation in which the three powers are co-ordinated was determined. That is, the basic principle of the coexistence of the three major forces of the king, the ruling party, and the supervisory party. At the same time, the power of the king is still very high, after all, no one can imagine that the king's rights are limited, and he is worried that he will offend Zhang Hongbin because of this.
So, after more than ten days of discussion, the second draft was finalized.
Zhang Hongbin's rights are limited, but the ruling party cannot act arbitrarily, otherwise the king has the right to join forces with the supervisory party to stop it. The king is not completely without privileges, and can enjoy the right to make arbitrary decisions once or twice a year. In other words, even if it is a wrong decision, Congress will have to carry it out, and then find a way to wipe the king's ass. In fact, without this right, the king would not feel like a king.
At the same time, the king also has a certain right of pardon every year, and has the right to pardon some people or things that have committed crimes every year. Under this privilege, even if the other party is charged with death, he must be acquitted. Of course, if you continue to do it next time, and the king no longer has the right to pardon, then I can only apologize.
The second draft was followed by the third draft, which was also the final draft.
The Constitution establishes that the ruling party is responsible for carrying out all aspects of political affairs, and that it can generally handle government affairs on its own, unless it is a serious political matter that must be approved by the king; The supervisory party only has the ability to supervise the work of the party members of the ruling party, and those who are corrupt must be dealt with according to law, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty, and the supervisory party that has failed to do so after three warnings will be dismissed and replaced by another supervisory party.
At the same time, if the ruling party is corrupt and corrupt, and there is a clear suppression of dissidents, arbitrariness and disregard for the interests of the empire, the supervisory party can apply to the king for a change of ruling party with evidence, and if the evidence is confirmed, the ruling party will step down and the supervisory party will assume the next ruling party.
In other words, the supervisory party is a spare tire, and in the event of serious negligence on the part of the ruling party, it quickly replaces it to ensure the integrity of the country's administrative apparatus. At the same time, the ruling party will be given a warning after stepping down, and the ruling party will be allowed to become the new supervisory party, unless it violates the professional ethics of the supervisory party and must be replaced. If the new supervisory party can be reverted to the ruling party, but the supervisory party is once again found guilty of violating the law and discipline, the party must be dissolved. At the same time, the main party leaders are not allowed to re-form a party or to foster a party, otherwise the strictest person can be executed after a trial.
In addition, there are basic civil rights, the determination of Taoism as the state religion, Confucianism as the main body of the state school, and so on.
Finally, in 1636 AD, on May 1, 1856 in the First Emperor's calendar, Zhang Hongbin ascended to the rooftop of the government affairs center.
It is a five-storey building with a complete overlook of the entire Chang'an City. At this moment, almost all the people of Chang'an are surrounding the center. Between the people and the center, an area was carved out by the police, and no one knew what it was for.
"Playing music!" On the rooftop, Zhang Hongbin's voice came, apparently using a microphone.
A piece of percussion and classical music was played, and for some reason, everyone heard the Jin Ge Iron Horse in the song, but it did not lose its chivalrous tenderness. For a while, everyone was curious about what kind of music this beautiful music was and why it was played.
I just thought about this, but I didn't want to sing in unison, but the voice came out:
5,000 years of China, 5,000 years of glory.
Chinese people do not forget jì, the pride in the blood.
We were oppressed, and our backs could not be bent.
We have been insulted, and our integrity cannot be erased.
United, we stand proudly between heaven and earth, and no one is invincible.
Together, we are friends all over the world.
……………………
"Huaxia People" is the name of this song, of course, it is not a modern song, but a song that gathers many music masters from Daqin to create zào. The meaning of the song is also very clear, the new regime represents China, an unyielding will and a strong backbone. We welcome friends, but we are not afraid of enemies. When the Chinese people unite together, we can stand on top of the world!
Seriously, the genre isn't a common pattern, with a little bit of percussion added to it. Therefore, some people are not used to listening, but more often they listen enthusiastically.
"Dear people of Chang'an City, all the people of Daqin, and all the people of China! Today is a day worth celebrating! Today is a day to be happy and memorable! In the past years, we Chinese people have been divided and united, either powerful, or bullied by other races...... I would like to conclude by announcing that the People's Republic of China was established today! Zhang Hongbin's deep and passionate voice spread throughout Chang'an City.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to be boiling. The people were excited, and everyone looked at the rooftop, at Zhang Hongbin and the members of the council standing there. They must remember this moment and remember Zhang Hongbin's words on this day......
