Chapter 1405: Shocking Separation of Powers
"Your Majesty, this Shi Xianzhi's courage is big enough, that is, you have the universe in your mind and are willing to tolerate, you can't stand it as any emperor, right? Even if it's Tang Taizong, it can't be ......"
Li Yan smiled bitterly.
Zhu Jie replied lightly: "Not to mention whether you can bear it, but tell me about the system of this house, what are the advantages and disadvantages?" β
Li Yan was shocked, and said silently for a while: "Your Majesty, if major national affairs are placed in an institution to be produced by debate and voting, I am afraid that our efficiency will be greatly reduced, everyone has everyone's ideas, where is it so easy to unify opinions?" In peacetime, it is better to say that if it is wartime, every second counts, if it is delayed in the House for ten days and half a month, or for a year and a half in one breath, it is possible, but what is good when the time comes? β
Zhu Jie sighed and said: "Li Yan, the problem you said may exist, but what we need to do is to minimize the occurrence of this situation, no matter which way it has its drawbacks, what we need to do is to choose the best!" β
Li Yan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, if you consult the ministers with this idea, I am afraid that the court will be in chaos, and even the timid courtiers will be scared to death, it is related to the foundation of the country, and its status is even more than the election of the prince, who dares to speak indiscriminately?" If he is charged with a crime with ill intentions, he will die unjustly, and only a bar leader like Shi Kefa would do such a thing......"
Zhu Jie stood up, stretched his waist, and sighed: "Li Yan, manpower is sometimes poor, one person is short, and everyone has long wisdom, you have to understand, one person's wisdom cannot be better than thousands of people, I am indeed the hero of the Kuang Dynasty, I have this self-confidence, I also have this ability, but you can't expect that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all outstanding people, what if my descendants have another mediocre talent, a faint monarch or a tyrant?" At that time, the imperial power in his hands will tear a good country to shreds! Even if in the future, among my descendants, they are all heroes of the world, and there will always be omissions, and the wise will have a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake, and when the time comes, there will be no restraint mechanism, how can it be good? Although the system of voting set by the ancestors was overthrown by me, I have to say that when the system was formulated, it played a certain role in preventing the emperors' misdeeds, but the courtiers wasted the rights in their hands given by the royal family, which is sad and ......."
Li Yan is favored by Zhu Jie again, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense on this issue, the emperor may not care too much, but the world is full of discussion, once the words go out of the palace, then he will be the target of everyone, the second Shi Kefa!
"Li Yan, when did you and I become so foreign? Tell me, is this House system possible to be implemented in the Ming Dynasty? Don't worry, there are just you and me here, and you don't have six ears, what are you worried about? β
Zhu Jie said dissatisfied.
Li Yan smiled bitterly for a while, and replied stubbornly: "Your Majesty, if you want to listen to the minister's true words, the minister will risk his death, this matter is based on the country's social theory, and the Ming Dynasty's well-being, which is naturally excellent, after all, you also said, no one can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of years, and each generation of emperors will be as gorgeous as you, and the best way is to be able to have a power that can balance the imperial power, however, the imperial power autocracy has been thousands of years old, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and restricts the imperial power, which is disobedient, the emperor, and the courtiers will not agree...... β
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree!"
Zhu Jie smiled: "I just want to see your attitude, of course, I also want to ask the attitude of several other people, or, in other ways to do it, Xianzhi is right, people's desire for power is unlimited, but the greater the power you have, the more concentrated it is, the country, the weaker his vitality will be, a civilized society, absolutely not like this, I am adding one more to Xianzhi's thoughts, that is, the separation of powers, the emperor, as the head of the country, naturally has the highest power, but this power." It should focus on military, political and foreign affairs, and for the formulation of national policies that require a long period of continuity, it is necessary for a special agency to formulate laws, and once a matter is determined in the form of laws, the emperor has no power to overthrow them; In addition to the power of legislation, there must also be a judicial body, and the judicial trial of the future country will not be transferred by the will of the emperor. However, don't talk about the Ming Dynasty, even if it goes back to ancient times, up and down for four or five thousand years, when did the prince really realize that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people? In order to realize this sentence, it is necessary to give the judiciary independent judicial powers, and the only thing that can determine the judicial outcome is the law, without any interference of power; The detachment of legislation is to maintain the longevity of a country, and the wisdom of many is always superior to that of one; The independence of judicial adjudication is to maintain the fairness of a society, the saints are unkind, the people are the dogs, all people are born equal, there is no distinction between the high and the low, there are only differences in status......"
Li Yan looked at Zhu Jie with a shocked face, and was speechless with shock, shocking to the world, even more shocking than Shi Xianzhi's remarks! This is completely to completely disperse the power in the hands of the emperor, where will the biggest power come from in the future? It's not the emperor, it's the legislator, once the law is enacted, the emperor has no power to overthrow it!
"Your Majesty, this idea of yours is too naΓ―ve, aren't you worried that one day this legislative body will be controlled by individuals with ulterior motives? Once the legislature is controlled by others, won't the emperor become a front and be completely hollowed out? β
Li Yan said urgently.
Zhu Jie shrugged and replied, "How can it be set aside?" The people in the legislature are not allowed to serve in the imperial court, they only have the power to legislate, but not the executive power, the real power is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, but the emperor has to be constrained by the law, and these people who enter the legislature must be real elites, and they are absolutely not allowed to mix into any waste, and those who have no ability can resolutely not enter this institution, so as to ensure that the legislature is in the hands of the elites! β
"Your Majesty, this matter, still need to be slowly figured out, now the time is not ripe, premature launch, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the government and the opposition, but not good, now the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the imperial power, you are the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but also the wise peerless, no need for any House, when the need arises, we are preparing, the stability of the imperial power, in order to ensure the rapid implementation of every policy, to ensure the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice.
Zhu Jie nodded and replied, "That's it, you go back to rest first, and talk about it later......"
