Chapter 365: Persuasion to Surrender Suli
Things changed dramatically, and the original opposition was now turned into a supporter, and they were eager to see the emperor really implement the system of court push and court council, so that they would gain much more power and benefit from it.
Although they may not have the courage and idea to rebel, there are not a few people who have this kind of thinking if they have more power in their hands, and they can use it to seek more benefits for themselves and their families.
As a result, after the question of whether the Second Division and Guan Xing were rewarded or punished was resolved, a new round of discussion was set off in the imperial court, only this time, the two sides of the discussion reversed, the original opposition became the supporter, and the original supporter became the opposition.
That's right, the officials represented by Guo Youzhi strongly opposed these two systems, they were all officials who put the emperor's interests first in the true sense, and they believed that these two systems seriously damaged the emperor's dignity and authority and should be abandoned.
Therefore, it is more appropriate for the officials of this faction to be called royalists, they are resolutely on Liu Hou's side, and they are staunch defenders of the emperor's interests.
They believed that these two systems not only undermined the dignity and authority of the emperor, but also led to partisan strife in the imperial court. Because in order to gain more say in court affairs, those officials will inevitably connect with each other to form small groups.
When it comes time to vote on a matter, these small groups will take advantage of their "strength in numbers" and steal the right to speak in the event by voting. Party strife has always been a taboo in the imperial court, and it is one of the important reasons for the country's turmoil ~ turmoil, and preventive measures cannot be taken as soon as possible.
This made Liu Hou feel a headache, he originally wanted to test the waters of the parliamentary system in later generations, but he did not expect to cause such an unexpected reaction. He really didn't expect that the ministers who had supported him would instead become people who opposed the system.
Even those who really defend their own interests oppose this system, and it seems that it is really not feasible to implement this system now. Liu Hou also knows that it is not a very simple matter to avoid party disputes and avoid being used by selfish people to obtain personal benefits.
In order to create a parliamentary system that truly benefits the country and the people, it is necessary to have a sound legal system as a guarantee and a system of supervision. Leaving these two things, now talking about the people ~ the main thing is the election, which is definitely the source of the country's troubles.
And the current Han Dynasty, not to mention the supervision system, even the law is very simple, and there is only a very simple Han law. The Great Han Law is too simple to meet the requirements of regulating all aspects of human life, let alone incomparably complex political behavior.
If we want to implement a parliamentary system, we must at least first formulate a constitution, and then there will be a series of laws such as the election law and the political party law, but now it can be said that there is no constitution, and rashly running a parliament will inevitably be like a castle in the air.
Liu Hou, who understood this, did not insist on forcibly implementing the court discussion and court push system, but restored the time for holding the court meeting as soon as possible. As to whether or not this system would be implemented, he decided not to discuss it in the court, but to shift the debate to the newspapers. This is bound to be a protracted debate, so everyone writes articles and submits them to the newspaper to start a debate, so as not to waste the time of the court.
In fact, Liu Hou still thinks simply, to implement the parliamentary system without causing chaos to the country, not only must there be a perfect legal system, but also let the people and politicians have the spirit of the law and have a sense of reverence for the law.
If there are a few laws, but everyone is not aware of the law and refuses to obey them, then these laws are nothing more than useless provisions. Even after more than 1,000 years, when Liu Hou originally lived, after so many years of legal propaganda work, many Chinese people's legal awareness was still weak, so we can see how difficult it is to cultivate the people's legal awareness.
There is another thing that Liu Hou did not expect, this time he almost childishly tossed those opposition courtiers, which had a very bad impact on future generations. His practice can be regarded as an improper means to affect the fairness of the vote, which is a very bad precedent.
If the parliamentary system is implemented now, it is inevitable that some people will take this as an example in the future and adopt some unfair competition methods to affect the fairness of voting, and this kind of thing is definitely not what Liu Hou wants to see.
Not to mention these battles in the court, it is said that after receiving Liu Hou's task, Tian Yu, the captain of Karasuma, rushed to the north day and night to find the Xianbei Suli Ministry, and prepared to use his incorruptible tongue to persuade the Suli Ministry, and then join forces to deal with other tribes on the grassland.
He successfully found the Suli tribe, and with his many years of friendship with Suli, he was also successfully received by Suli. The two talked very happily, and Su Li was also very happy with his arrival, and held a banquet to entertain him for several days, but he was always vague about his proposal to join the Han Dynasty, and refused to agree or refuse at all.
Everyone in the world knows that the Han people are good at Tai Chi, but as a Xianbei Hu person, this Su Li's perfunctory kung fu is no worse than those treacherous and cunning court bosses among the Han people. Su Li is a group of Xianbei people who have more contact with Han people and have a relatively high degree of sinicization, they are deeply influenced by Han culture, and belong to the pro-Han faction among Xianbei people.
However, Tian Yu now hates his cunning, although Su Li entertains himself with good wine and food every day, but when it comes to business, he diverts the topic and keeps hanging his appetite, it seems that he either wants to be left and right, or wants to sell it at a high price.
In this regard, Tian Yu is helpless, no matter how eloquent he is, he will not be able to play a role in front of this kind of understanding person. Purely by eloquence, you can only fool those fools, and for those who understand, the only thing that can move them is interests.
As long as there are enough benefits for them, they can do anything for you, and if there is no benefit, they will not be stupid to bother to do it, after all, they are Hu people who are known for their barbarism, not live Lei Feng.
Tian Yu also understands that now Su Li is weighing the gains and losses, although he and his tribe can get a lot of benefits by receiving the canonization of the Han Dynasty, but they will also offend the Hu people of the entire grassland, and even go against the Hu people of the entire grassland, is it really worth it?
Tian Yu knows that Su Li is now in a dilemma, and he also knows that he can't force ~ too much, if he is too eager, it will give the other party a signal that the big man needs them very much, in that way, the negotiation will fall into passivity, and the other party will open his mouth and put forward all kinds of harsh conditions.
Tian Yu has been dealing with the Hu people for a long time, and he is well versed in the psychology of the Hu people, and he has rich negotiation experience, so no matter how anxious he is, on the surface, he still looks unfazed and dealing with Su Li and a few humble people.
