300 Exotic Tang Dynasty (12)
Yun Fan replied: "Anyway, sooner or later, it will be discussed, sooner or later." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info first say it, and then don't mess up. ”
Liu Sanbraid agreed, "Yes, it just so happens that everyone is gathered, and the opportunity is rare." Let's discuss. ”
This is the most important thing in the country's political life, and no one should be cautious. Many people thought to themselves that Yun Fan's sudden move was probably because he didn't want to give the families a chance to join forces. Indeed, there are many people who are caught off guard, especially the families of the several imperial concubines who gave birth to the prince, who are already ready to move, and have discussed or prepared a lot of means. As a result, before he could act, he was completely disrupted by Yun Fan. At this time, in front of dozens of monks, who dared to secretly collude.
Yun Fan knocked on the table and stopped the buzz in the venue, "Anyone present has the right to make a motion and state the reasons for your proposal. Then summarize, summarize, debate, and then vote by a show of hands, more than two-thirds of the people in favor, it is passed, and established as the code of succession to the throne of the Tang Empire.
Once it is established as a national legal code, it will be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be changed.
This has an advantage, that is, it will not cause the brothers to be on the wall because of the struggle for the throne, hurt the harmony, and even cause the ministers to be discordant and the country to be in turmoil.
Dongzhou has inherited the throne for nearly a thousand years, and the emperor himself does not have the right to decide, but is selected by Xianlutang. Although there was no battle for the throne either, it was clearly unreasonable.
Thousands of years ago, judging from the history compiled by the archives based on the recent historical materials collected from the people, all dynasties and generations fought bloody battles for this. That's certainly not what I want to see.
Therefore, we simply set a rule at one time today, a rule that will not cause disputes, and a rule that will not change forever.
Who's going to say first? ”
Whether it was for the sake of profit or to show his face, he spoke quite enthusiastically. But speaking of which, there are just a few points, some people propose to be based on the way of the elder and youngest, some people propose to judge according to the level of martial arts, some people think that they need to be judged according to their character, and some people think that there is a difference between the descendants and the concubines.
Yun Fan first denied the concubine, believing that it was discrimination. Nowadays, in the people, according to the marriage law, the concubines have the right to inherit, and the royal family cannot be an exception.
As soon as Yun Fan's voice fell, Yun Yu, the head of the Qinglong Special Economic Zone, stood up and proposed that women should also enjoy the right to inherit the throne. The reason is that the current law stipulates that women have household registration, the right to inherit property, and have the same political power, so the imperial throne should also be extrapolated.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the main hall, the noise suddenly rose, "Didn't you wake up." "Nonsense." "Chicken Si Chen, isn't this nonsense?" ・・・・・・, boos, shouts, endlessly.
Yun Fan glanced at Ji Zhi. Ji Zhi slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Shut up." Your Majesty has said before that anyone has the right to make motions. Yun Yu filed a motion and stated his reasons. It is normal for someone to object, and the opponent will state the reasons for your objection. Instead of sarcasm and indiscriminate condemnation. Those who spoke foul language just now, if you don't give a reasonable reason, don't blame me for being unkind. Look down on women, right, in terms of skill, who dares to stand up and compete with me and Sister Liu. In terms of political performance, the performance evaluation of female officials such as Yunyu, Yunyi, and Hongqin has always been in the forefront. Let's talk about it, which point is inferior to men in terms of talent, ability, and skill? ”
The princes in the hall were speechless, and none of them dared to face Ji Zhi directly.
Yun Fan opened his mouth to break the silence, "I am also in favor of including the princess in the ranks of heirs. Both men and women have half of their parents' blood and bones. The son is biological, the daughter is also biological, there is no difference, why treat them differently? ”
Yun Hao got up and said, "Your Majesty, this will cause the royal family to have a different surname, and the country will not be a country." Never. ”
Ming Hao also objected: "Your Majesty, this is the law of eternity. If the princess inherits the throne, the descendants of the royal family will inevitably have impure blood. ”
Yun Fan smiled and said, "You sit down first." Without any doubt, let's discuss your concerns. First, the royal family has a different surname. This is not difficult, and the princess's child can be surnamed Yun. Who said that a child must have a father's surname, but also a mother's surname? I have my mother's last name.
Second, there is the issue of ancestry. Recently, the state has been constantly promoting and disseminating scientific and technological knowledge. One of them is called a gene. Aliens taking Lingshi milk are taking poison, and Dongzhou people taking it is good medicine. The roots are in the genes. Some children look like their fathers, and some children look like their mothers, which is also due to genes. That is, as I said earlier, children, male or female, have half of their parents' blood and bones, and not because of male or female.
So, my son and my daughter, both own half of my blood. My grandson and my grandson, both own and only own, a quarter of my blood, unless there is an intermarriage within the family. Of course that's not allowed. Based on this, it can be inferred that whether the prince succeeds to the throne or the princess succeeds to the throne, the bloodline of the descendants is the same.
Who else has objections can be raised for discussion. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and Chu Tian suddenly stood up and asked a question that was not a problem, or it could also be said to be a huge question, "Your Majesty, in order to ensure that the royal family has an empress, usually the emperor will marry multiple concubines. Once the princess becomes emperor, what if there is no queen? ”
Yun Yu stood up and retorted, "The princess can also marry multiple male concubines." The Marriage Act recognizes that multiple wives of a man are legitimate, but it does not say that it is illegal for a woman to marry multiple husbands. ”
Boom, the hall was almost overturned, and there was an uproar. Even Ji Zhi and Liu Sanbraid are not good for Yunyu.
Yun Fan lowered his head and smiled, this Yun Yu didn't know if he was stimulated by the Yun Qiong incident, it was too radical.
"Hmph, hmph." Yun Fan had to speak, otherwise Yun Yu would be drowned in everyone's saliva, "This issue belongs to the category of marriage law. The Marriage Act is enacted and amended by the Senate, and will be discussed in the Senate in the future. As for King Xi's concerns, I can guarantee that it won't happen. You can see it as immortal art, but in fact, it is also a scientific and technological means, I can do it, even if men and women do not have different rooms, there is a way for women to give birth to offspring. Once I leave office, I will make this law public. "He's talking about in vitro fertilization.
No one could refute Yun Fan, so he raised his hand to vote on this issue first. To the surprise of Yun Hao, Ming Hao and others, more than two-thirds agreed.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, this result is not unexpected. The matrilineal family of the five princes and some old stubborns were certainly opposed. However, if Yun Fan agrees, then Yun Fan's hardcore subordinates and Niyun will definitely agree, which accounts for almost more than half. The matrilineal families of the other seven princesses are even more in favor. There are also Liu Sanbraid, Ji Zhi and others, whoever is the emperor cares about them, naturally listens to Yun Fan. Winning is a matter of course.
Let's discuss the question of martial arts, intelligence, character or age. The parties are arguing, and it is impossible to get two-thirds of the votes for all proposals. Then, the right to decide is still in Yun Fan, as long as he is in favor of a certain side, that side will definitely win.
In the end, Yun Fan made the final decision, "Intelligence, character, it is difficult to make accurate judgments, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Using this as a criterion is not advisable. Martial arts, there are advances and retreats, today's boss has high martial arts, maybe tomorrow the second will catch up. I have several other reasons why it is not advisable either. First, the power of science and technology is sometimes more effective than martial arts. A child with a laser gun can kill a high-level spiritual warrior. Second, the emperor's reign is likely to be several decades, so that the age of the oldest child and the youngest child may be very large. Is it fair for a three-year-old child to compete with a thirty-year-old brother and sister in martial arts? Third, the rule of culture and martial arts, the governance of the country depends on literature and not on martial arts. In addition, we will do our best not to prevent the recurrence of troubled times.
So, I'm in favor of using age as the criterion, because age is not controversial.
Of course, younger brothers and sisters are not without opportunities. What chances? For example, the boss has a major character problem, or is born with a mental retardation, a disability, or an accident before the succession, etc., and is indeed not suitable to be the head of a country.
The problem is again. The boss is not suitable, who will replace it. My opinion is that by age, from oldest to youngest. The eldest is the first heir, the second is the second in line, and so on.
Finally, I would like to say that there is a problem with the character. I suggest that the decision be made by the Imperial Council. If two-thirds of the members of the Imperial Council are deemed to be unqualified, the succession qualification will be cancelled and replaced by the next one.
I think, in this way, the princes and princesses don't need to fight, and the courtiers have no reason to fight, according to the law.
Actually, there's really no need to fight. Under the constitutional system, the emperor does not have the power of life and death, and most of the time, he is just a symbol of the state. The fundamental power to govern the state is in the Imperial Council, in the Council of Councils, in the Council of Ministers, in the Military Council, and in the Court of Law.
Although the emperor has the right to suspend an official, he must have a reasonable reason to obtain the approval of the Imperial Council before he can be truly dismissed, otherwise the official will be reinstated after the period of suspension has passed.
As for the nomination and appointment of the presidents of each house, they also need to be approved by the Imperial Council to be valid. The next level of officials will be elected by the Council in the future.
How meaningful is it to compete for such a throne with limited power? Right.
Alright, let's vote. ”
Needless to say, Yun Fan's proposition passed smoothly. The rules of succession were refined by the Imperial Council and then written into the national code.
At the end of the meeting, the banquet hall was moved and the full moon ceremony began. This time, men and women did not sit at the same table, not because of discrimination, but because of female officials and female dependents. surrounded the princesses and refused to leave, rushing to admire the demeanor of the princes and princesses.
After the first thing, give the name. It can't be said that the crown prince of the empire doesn't even have a name.
Of course, this Yun Fan has already been prepared, and it will be read out by Bi Yin.
The eldest is Yun Fan's eldest daughter and Mei Mei's daughter, and she was given the name Yun Zetian and named the crown prince.
Yan Qiang and Li Jin raised their heads in surprise and stared at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan smiled and said, "It's just a commemoration, there's no other meaning." ”
